Mount Sumeru, inside the Grand Hall.
As soon as Jiang Yun returned to the mountain with Jieyin, Zhunti and others, he immediately summoned the great powers of the Hongmen Alliance. The Incarnation aura flowed in the hall, and the projections of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Zhenyuanzi and others appeared one after another and took their seats.
"Fellow Daoists, the matter of Guixu is settled." Jieyin at everyone, his voice steady, "We discovered the Primordial World Land of Reincarnation — the Nine Netherworlds World —within Guixu, and fought a battle with the Reincarnation Demon God suppressed there, expelling its Remnant Soul from the Primordial Desolation World."
Furthermore, they found the surviving Giant Turtle Clan on Daiyu Immortal Island, which had sunk into the Guixu, and helped them return to the Primordial World.
Now that we have broken the Sealing Restriction on the Guixu Entrance, the power of the Primordial Desolation World has entered the Guixu. Before long, the Nine Netherworlds World will return to the Primordial World, and the Primordial World Earthly Dao will be repaired.
"The Land of Reincarnation?" Tongtian raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "No wonder when Luohou caused chaos in the Western Region, he even connected the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to the Earth Veins during the final battle, shattering the Western Region in one fell swoop. It was probably to destroy the foundation of the Earthly Dao."
Jieyin nodded and continued the conversation, "That's right."
The Nine Netherworlds World was originally part of the Primordial World Earthly Dao, but it was isolated by the Chaos Demon Gods with Restriction. Now that we have broken through the Chaos Whirlpool, the Reincarnation Aura has begun to spread. In addition, the Western World, after a long period of governance, has now recovered more than 60%, and the revival of the Primordial World Earthly Dao is promising.
Laozi Tzu stroked his beard and pondered, "If the Land of Reincarnation can truly return to its rightful place, the Departed Souls of the dead in the world will have a final resting place, and the cycle of the world will be more complete. This is crucial to our plan to fight against Hongjun."
Nuwa's eyes flickered slightly, as if deep in thought, "The Departed Souls return to their rightful places, and order is restored to heaven and earth... Perhaps this is also the opportunity for Dao of Humanity to awaken."
Ancestor Hong Yun interjected with a smile, "So, we've done a great service this time!"
Hongjun, that old man, is probably quite pleased with himself after Union with the Dao, little did he know that we had already tampered with things right under his nose.
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.
Jiang Yun continued, "Furthermore, the Giant Turtle Clan has joined the Western Teachings. Their Physical Body are incredibly strong; upon reaching adulthood, they possess combat power comparable to Great Luo Immortal. They could become a crucial asset to the alliance in the future."
The Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly. "Good! However, now that the Land of Reincarnation has appeared, it will likely attract attention from all sides, so we need to make arrangements as soon as possible."
"That's right," Jieyin over the topic. "I have ordered the Good Corpse to be stationed on Daiyu Immortal Island to observe the movements of the Nine Netherworlds, and to establish a stronghold of the Western Teachings in the cycle of Reincarnation there."
However, since the Land of Reincarnation involves the Authority of the Way of Earth, it probably requires a powerful being who is well-versed in the Great Earth Law to oversee the construction of Reincarnation.
Although I obtained the Reincarnation Purple Lotus beneath the Guixu, I am not the destined Lord of Reincarnation.
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.
Just then, the Ziwei Star Lord suddenly spoke, "Speaking of the Great Earth Law... the Ancestral Witch Houtu seems most suitable."
Zhunti then said, "The affairs of the eastern part of the Primordial World are the responsibility of the Three Pure Ones Dao Friends. As for the construction of the Land of Reincarnation, the three of you should communicate with the Ancestral Witch."
If the Ancestral Witch Houtu is interested, she can come to Mount Sumeru for a detailed discussion. Our Western Teachings is willing to provide full assistance.
Pangu Hall Buzhou Mountain.
Ancestral Witch Houtu, sat quietly on the earth Altar, her body surrounded by earth-yellow Daoist energy. Suddenly, her brows furrowed slightly, as if sensing something, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"This aura..." she murmured softly, her gaze fixed on the Northern Region, "Reincarnation?"
Just now, she sensed a mysterious power spreading from the direction of the Primordial World North Sea. That power resonated faintly with the Great Earth Law she cultivated, causing her mind to tremble.
"Houtu, what's wrong?" Gonggong strode into the hall and, seeing her unusual expression, asked.
Houtu regained her senses and said softly, "I sensed an unusual aura coming from the direction of the North Sea, seemingly related to the Great Earth Law. I want to investigate it."
Gonggong frowned. "The North Sea? Isn't that the territory of the Dragon Clan and Demon Clan?"
Although the Witch-Demon have formed an alliance, it's only for the purpose of fighting against Hongjun. It would be too dangerous for you to go alone.
Houtu shook her head. "We've just formed an alliance, and the affairs of the Immortal Court aren't over yet. The Demon Clan won't cause trouble at this critical juncture. Besides, this power that drifted from the North Sea... it's very peculiar, giving me a strange sense of familiarity."
Just as the Two were talking, Dijiang and Zhujiuyin also walked in.
"Houtu, you sensed it too?" Dijiang asked directly.
Houtu nodded. "Eldest Brother noticed too?"
Dijiang said in a deep voice, "Just now Zhujiuyin observed the River of Time and discovered that there was Reincarnation Aura emerging in the North Sea, which is probably related to the Primordial World Earthly Dao."
Zhujiuyin added, "This power is spreading; it won't be long before the entire Primordial World senses it."
Gonggong scratched his head. "Reincarnation? Isn't that about the soul's reincarnation? What does that have to do with our Witch Clan?"
Our Witch Clan returns to heaven and earth after death; our souls do not remain.
Houtu said softly, "No, Reincarnation is part of the cycle of heaven and earth."
We, the Witch Clan, are born of the earth, grow up on the earth, and are inextricably linked to the Earthly Dao.
Dijiang pondered for a moment, then looked at Houtu: "You want to investigate this yourself?"
Houtu nodded solemnly. "I have a feeling this matter is very important to me."
Dijiang and Zhujiuyin exchanged a glance, and the latter nodded slightly.
"Alright," Dijiang made the decision, "But you cannot go alone."
I'll have Xuanming accompany you, so the Two you can look after each other.
Just as Houtu was about to agree, a guard's voice came from outside the hall.
"Report! An envoy from Kunlun Mountain requests an audience!"
Everyone was taken aback.
"The Three Pure Ones?" Gonggong asked with surprise, "Why are they sending people here at this time?"
Dijiang waved his hand. "Let him in."
A moment later, a young Daoist boy dressed in a moon-white robe entered the hall and respectfully bowed. "I am the White Crane Attendant from Kunlun, sent by the Three Pure Ones to pay my respects to the Ancestral Witch."
Zhujiuyin narrowed his eyes. "Why did the Three Pure Ones send you here?"
The White Crane Attendant, neither humble nor arrogant, said, "The Three Pure Ones said that Houtu, the Ancestral Witch Houtu, governs the Great Earth Law. The great gods of the Western Teachings have deduced the special nature of Ancestral Witch Houtu on the Land of Reincarnation, and specially ordered this humble monk to come and invite her."
The Western Teachings recently opened the Guixu Entrance, and the Nine Netherworlds World beneath the Guixu is about to appear, initiating the Reincarnation.
The Three Pure Ones said that Houtu, the Ancestral Witch Houtu, is the Mother of Earth, and may be able to achieve Reincarnation and help the Earthly Dao awaken.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
A hint of surprise flashed in Houtu's eyes. "The unusual aura I sensed earlier was the Reincarnation Aura from the Nine Netherworlds World. Is this the work of the Western Teachings?"
You... have found and opened the Land of Reincarnation?
The White Crane Attendant nodded. "Exactly."
Now that the Reincarnation Aura is spreading, the Departed Souls of the Primordial World will find their home.
The elders hoped that Houtu, the Ancestral Witch Houtu, could travel to the Western Teachings for a meeting to discuss the grand plan for the revival of the underground Earthly Dao.
