The White Crane Attendant relayed the words of the Three Pure Ones, hoping that Houtu could go to the Western Teachings to discuss the Matters of Reincarnation.
Gonggong snorted coldly after hearing this, "Who knows what you're up to?"
The White Crane Attendant smiled slightly, "The Gonggong Ancestral Witch is overthinking it."
The Hongmen Alliance is united in spirit and blood; how could the Western Teachings harm its allies?
"The Hongmen Alliance?" Dijiang's gaze sharpened. "The Western Teachings's Jieyin and Zhunti are also..."
The White Crane Attendant said frankly, "The three gentlemen, along with the Daoist Jieyin Mount Sumeru, the Daoist Zhunti, the Demon Clan Empress Nuwa, and others, have long formed an alliance to fight against Hongjun."
The initial alliance was proposed by several members of the Western Teachings.
This Matters of Reincarnation was also the result of deductions made by several members of the Western Teachings after experiencing the events of the Guixu.
In Zhujiuyin's eyes, the River of Time flowed, seemingly verifying what the White Crane Attendant had said.
After a moment, he nodded slightly to Dijiang.
Dijiang pondered for a moment, then looked at Houtu: "What do you think?"
Houtu took a deep breath. "I want to go to Mount Sumeru."
Xuanming frowned. "It's too dangerous. After all, the Western Teachings is on good terms with the Demon Clan race..."
Houtu shook her head. "No, I believe in my intuition."
The Land of Reincarnation is very important to me; perhaps... this is my path.
Furthermore, Western Teachings have always been dedicated to the revival of the Western World and have never participated in Primordial World conflicts, so there's nothing to worry about.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Dijiang finally nodded. "Alright, Xuanming will accompany you, along with three thousand Witch Guards, just in case."
The White Crane Attendant bowed with his palms together. "Thank you Ancestor Witch Dijiang, for your help."
The Western Teachings has established numerous Star Gate in the Western Earthly Realm. Several Ancestral Witch, upon arriving in the Western World, can use these Star Gate Teleportation to Mount Sumeru. Several powerful figures from the Western Teachings will await the arrival of the two Ancestral Witch within the mountain gate.
Mount Sumeru, Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
Jieyin, Zhunti, Jiang Yun, and others were waiting. Golden lotuses bloomed in the pond, emitting a refreshing fragrance that calmed the mind.
"Master, the two Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan have arrived at the mountain gate." An Inner Disciple standing by reported.
"They've arrived as expected!" Jieyin said with a smile to his disciple, "Please invite the two Ancestral Witch in."
Before long, Maitreya led Houtu and Xuanming to the edge of the pool.
As soon as the two Ancestral Witch appeared, the Great Earth Law spontaneously became active, and the golden lotus in the pond moved without wind.
"Houtu Daoist Houtu, Fellow Daoist Xuanming, it's been a long time." Jieyin forward to greet them.
Houtu nodded slightly, but her gaze was drawn to a peculiar stone tablet by the pond. The tablet was entirely black, covered with ancient patterns, and exuded a strong Reincarnation Aura.
"This is..."
Jiang Yun stepped forward and explained, "This is the Nine Netherworlds Boundary Stele, which we brought back from the Guixu. It records some of the secrets of the Land of Reincarnation."
Houtu unconsciously approached the stone tablet, gently touching its surface. In an instant, the inscription glowed with a ghostly light, and countless images flashed through her mind—wandering Departed Souls, Reincarnation, the cycle of the Six Paths...
"So that's how it is..." she murmured to herself, a look of understanding flashing in her eyes. Then she sat cross-legged beside the stone tablet, her mind sinking into it.
Seeing Xuanming, Xuanming looked at Jieyin: "Hmm, what's going on? What did you do to my Sister Houtu?"
Zhunti quickly waved his hand. "Fellow Xuanming, don't be anxious."
Fellow Houtu is destined for Reincarnation and is currently comprehending the Mysteries of the Earthly Dao.
You can tell the reason from the Reincarnation Aura emanating from her; just wait a little longer.
Sure enough, after some time, Houtu came to her senses, and her eyes held an unprecedented depth.
"I understand." She looked at the Jieyin, "The Land of Reincarnation needs someone to preside over it, and that person... should be me."
The Jieyin smiled, "Fellow Daoist, you indeed have discerning eyes. Indeed, the Nine Netherworlds Reincarnation requires the Mother of Earth's presence to truly return to its rightful place."
Xuanming frowned. "What do you mean? You want my sister to go to that place called the Land of Reincarnation?"
Jiang Yun explained, "The Xuanming Ancestral Witch, the Land of Reincarnation is an important part of the Primordial World."
Although it has now appeared in the world, someone still needs to sort out the Laws and establish Order.
Ancestral Witch Houtu, is well-versed in the Great Earth Law and is the most suitable candidate.
Houtu looked at Xuanming and said softly, "Sister, this is my destiny, and also my responsibility."
Xuanming wanted to say something, but Houtu interrupted him, "I just saw many things in the boundary marker... The Departed Souls of the Primordial World are adrift, and the cycle of heaven and earth is obstructed."
If I could complete the Reincarnation, it would not only benefit the Primordial World, but also greatly benefit our Witch Clan.
The Jieyin added in due course, "Moreover, once the Land of Reincarnation is perfected, the Earthly Dao will truly awaken."
At that time, the Three Ways of Heaven, Earth, and Man will stand side by side, and no one will be able to Shrouding the Heavens.
Xuanming remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, "Since you've made your decision, I won't stop you."
However, this matter is of great importance and requires returning to the clan to gather others and explain the situation, especially to inform Eldest Brother Dijiang.
Houtu nodded. "That's natural."
Just then, Jiang Yun's expression suddenly changed, and he took out a communication jade talisman. The talisman flashed, and the phantom of Laozi appeared.
"Jiang Yun, has anyone from the Witch Clan arrived?"
Jiang Yun turned the jade talisman towards Houtu the Two: "Grand Martial Uncle, Ancestral Witch Houtu and Xuanming Ancestral Witch have arrived at Mount Sumeru."
Laozi's illusory figure looked at Houtu and nodded slightly. "Houtu Daoist Houtu, regarding the Land of Reincarnation, the Three Pure Ones have a suggestion."
Houtu solemnly said, "Please speak."
Laozi slowly said, "Reincarnation is a manifestation of the Earthly Dao, and it requires those with great Merit to establish it."
If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to Embody Reincarnation to mend the universe, you will surely gain immeasurable Merit and achieve the Hunyuan.
"Embody Reincarnation?" Xuanming's expression changed drastically. "What does that mean?"
Laozi explained, "It is not a fall from grace, but rather the merging of one's own Dao Fruit with Reincarnation, becoming the Lord of Reincarnation, just as the Dao Ancestor Hongjun Union with the Dao the Dao."
Thus, fellow Daoists are Reincarnation, Reincarnation fellow Daoists; they can wield the Authority of the Way of Earth.
Houtu's eyes gleamed, as if she were deep in thought.
Xuanming exclaimed urgently, "No! If we do that, won't my sister be trapped in the Land of Reincarnation forever?"
Houtu whispered, "Sister, perhaps this is my path."
She looked at the illusory image of Laozi: "If I Embody Reincarnation, what would become of the Witch Clan?"
Laozi replied, "The Witch Clan can send their disciples to reside in the Reincarnation to assist in its management."
Furthermore, after the Reincarnation is completed, the Fortune of the Witch Clan will greatly increase, which will be of great benefit to its future development.
Jieyin information. "Furthermore, the Land of Reincarnation, independent of the Witch-Demon War, can serve as a retreat route for the Witch Clan."
Houtu pondering for a long time, Houtu finally made up her mind. "Alright, I'm willing to give it a try."
However, this matter needs to be discussed with my Elder Brother.
Laozi's illusory figure nodded. "Naturally."
The three of us will soon travel to Buzhou Mountain to meet with Dijiang.
The communication ended, and the jade talisman's light dissipated.
Xuanming looked at his younger sister with concern. "Are you really sure?"
Houtu grasped her hand, a resolute smile on her face, "Sister, this is my choice. The world created by Father God needs us to maintain it."
