First Visit to Zixiao Palace
As soon as Houtu appeared, it automatically flew in front of him, radiating a terrifying aura.
"Ancestral Witch Houtu!"
Seeing Primordial World reappear in its Houtu, the Witch Race members shouted excitedly.
Jiu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
She was the only surviving Ancestral Witch, yet she felt utterly powerless about the future of the Witch Race.
Fortunately, at the most critical moment, Houtu escaped.
"I'm late. From now on, no one will dare to bully my Witch Race!"
With a wave of her hand, Houtu reversed the Power of Life and Death, and the injuries of the Witch Race members were healing at an extremely fast pace.
In her previous battle against the Sanqing Ones, Houtu was ultimately no match for the will of Heaven and was sealed in the Netherworld Underworld.
Although the power of the underground path is high, it is only in its initial stage of awakening, and it has once again fallen into a disadvantageous position in the struggle against the Heavenly Dao.
This is why Houtu missed the opportunity to help the Witch Race.
However, with the Buzhou Mountain, the underground passage ushered in a new turning point.
Since the outbreak of the great calamity, Zhenyuanzi has been working hard to pacify the Origin of the Great Earth.
Although his individual strength is limited, he has countless local deities behind him.
Zhenyuanzi's efforts were also accumulating strength for the tunnel.
The calamity of Buzhou Mountain was planned by the Heavenly Dao, Buzhou Mountain collapsed and the Primordial Origin was damaged, the Heavenly Dao was also unsurprisingly affected by the backlash.
With the combined efforts of Houtu and Zhenyuanzi, the underground passage was finally awakened.
As soon as the tunnel appeared, the Calamity Qi stabilized instantly.
Not only are the laws of heaven and earth more perfected, but even the devastated earth after the great calamity is gradually recovering under the will of the earth.
At the same time, the revival of the underground also condensed a supreme divine position.
Houtu and Zhenyuanzi are both top-tier cultivators of the Earthly Path, but Houtu surpasses Zhenyuanzi in both strength and connection to the Earthly Path.
This Saint Position, unsurprisingly, fell to Houtu.
At that very moment, all the restraints on Houtu's body were removed.
As a saint of the earth, she was naturally no longer suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.
As soon as she appeared in the Primordial World, she witnessed the scene of the saints driving out the Witch Race.
Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on attaining the Primordial Dao!
With the restoration of the underground world and the successful attainment of enlightenment by fellow Daoists, it is foreseeable that the Primordial World will become better and better.
This is our good fortune, and the good fortune of all living beings!
Although no one wanted to see Houtu attain enlightenment, the fact was undeniable, and they were powerless to change it.
Although Houtu was a novice in the Dao, due to the special nature of the earthly path, her imposing aura was in no way inferior to theirs.
Cihang Three Corpses Unity, Houtu God became a saint. The Primordial World was gradually slipping out of their expectations and control.
"Our previous arrangements were also for the future of the Witch Race."
However, now that you have attained enlightenment, there is no need for us to worry.
"The affairs of the Witch Race are to be decided by you, fellow Daoist!"
Faced with Houtu, the sages had no choice but to compromise.
"Then thank you very much, fellow Daoists, for your kindness!"
Houtu hand to open the Netherworld Passage, sending Jiu Feng and the other Witch Race into the Netherworld, after which further arrangements would be made.
She also knew that this was not the time to dwell on past grievances.
The reason why the Witch Race has ended up like this is because they are descendants of Pangu, and the root cause lies in the Way of Heaven.
The demon race, and even the saints, are nothing more than pawns.
"Haotian greets all the sages, Empress Houtu, and Cihang Venerable Cihang!"
Just as everyone was about to leave, Haotian appeared before them, accompanied by a golden light.
"You may rise, Haotian Boy. What are your instructions, Master?"
Taiqing waved and helped Haotian up, still treating Haotian with great politeness.
Although Haotian was only Daluo Golden Immortal, he was Hongjun's attendant, so his status was naturally much higher.
"The Dao Ancestor cordially invites all the Sages to the Zixiao Palace for a discussion!"
Haotian, however, dared to presume upon his status and treated Taiqing and the others with utmost respect.
Especially when looking at Cihang, his eyes were filled with admiration.
All the sages were disciples of Hongjun, and possessed the Primordial Violet Qi, which enabled them to achieve their current strength and status.
But Cihang had nothing; he had never even gone to the Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao.
With her own abilities alone, Cihang already possessed strength comparable to that of the saints.
How could this not inspire envy and admiration?
"Young friend Haotian, Cihang is not a saint, so is he among those invited?"
Cihang naturally noticed Haotian's expression.
At this time, Haotian is still a child without any ambition.
If the future trajectory remains unchanged, this will be Haotian's chance to take over the Heavenly Court.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Dao Ancestor has stated that Your Majesty is also among those invited!"
Haotian bowed respectfully in response.
"Young friend, there's no need for such formalities. Since the Dao Ancestor has summoned me, I will depart for the Zixiao Palace immediately!"
Zixiao Palace, the true center of power in the Primordial World, a sacred place that can influence the course of the Primordial World.
Cihang couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for this trip to the Zixiao Palace.
The group exchanged glances, then transformed into streaks of light and headed straight for the Zixiao Palace.
Chaos is dangerous, but it cannot harm Taiqing Cihang and the others.
When they entered the chaos, the Zixiao Palace had already reappeared in the chaos, radiating endless Daoist energy and suppressing the Chaos void.
This is the Zixiao Palace!
From afar, Cihang sensed the profound laws governing it.
A cultivator's training ground, to a certain extent, reflects the cultivator's Dao and strength.
The closer one gets to the Zixiao Palace, the clearer the laws of the Great Dao become.
Standing before the Zixiao Palace is like facing the Great Dao itself.
Although it wasn't the first time the others had entered Zixiao Palace, they couldn't help but marvel at the Daoist aura within.
The Zixiao Palace alone is enough to prove that Hongjun's strength far surpasses that of these saints.
This is why they dared not disobey Hongjun's will in the slightest.
"Please come in, esteemed seniors!"
Haotian opened the gates of the Zixiao Palace first.
"Thank you for your trouble, young friend Haotian!"
Cihang and the others thanked Haotian before stepping into the Zixiao Palace.
With each step taken, an even richer spiritual energy and the power of the Great Dao rush towards you.
Cihang's newly broken-through strength was thus stabilized.
Hongjun was already seated on the head of the main hall, like the Great Dao descending upon the world, radiating endless Daoist charm, and merging with heaven and earth.
If it weren't for the naked eye, one wouldn't even be able to detect Hongjun's existence.
"Greetings, teacher!"
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"
Everyone bowed and greeted Hongjun at the same time.
Faced with Hongjun, all the sages couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
They knew perfectly well what they had done during this catastrophe.
However, Hongjun clearly did not intend to blame anyone; he merely glanced at everyone indifferently.
"Please take your seats!"
A prayer mat appeared in front of everyone at the same time.
"Thank you, Master, Dao Ancestor!"
After thanking them again, everyone took their seats.
"Although this calamity was fraught with danger, we have managed to get through it safely!"
Although the great calamity has ended, the order of heaven and earth has collapsed, and a new Heavenly Court needs to be established to restore order to the world.
I have summoned you here today for the time when the Heavenly Court will be re-established.
Do you have any suggestions?
Hongjun's voice was utterly calm, devoid of any imposing aura or pressure.
But it's precisely this calm tone that makes it impossible to ignore.
