Jieyin the Two Zhunti returned to Mount Sumeru, Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He also reported the movements of the Witch Clan to the two of them, along with some arrangements he had made for these matters.
At this point, the great plan to revive the Western Teachings was left with only one hurdle: the Demon Abyss, which had been created during the Great Tribulation of the Western Region. Jiang Yun discussed this matter with the two of them.
The matter concerns the three of them, and now it has reached the final stage, just one step away from completion.
For Jieyin and Zhunti, this is the path the Two seek. As long as the final problem is solved, even without the Three Corpses Method and the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Heavenly Dao Merit gained from fulfilling their great vows alone will be enough for the Two become saints.
After returning from the Guixu, Jieyin and Zhunti had found suitable objects to entrust their Three Corpses to. Over the years, the Western Teachings's continuous construction of the Western World had also accumulated a huge amount of Fortune for the sect. Now, as long as the Two them nurtured their Self Corpse well, they could successfully sever their Three Corpses.
The two of them planned to Closed-door Cultivation until they severed their Self Corpse. During this time, they would let Jiang Yun make some preparations for the trip to the Demon Abyss. He could first explore the Demon Abyss, but not go deep into it, to avoid encountering danger.
After some discussion, Jieyin and Zhunti began their seclusion, while Jiang Yun returned to his Cave Abode. He needed to make some preparations first, and then find some time to go with Kong Xuan to the Demon Abyss to gather some intelligence.
Suddenly, the communication jade talisman on Jiang Yun's body beeped. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Houtu: "Daoist Friend Jiang Yun, Xuanming and I will be going to the Nine Netherworlds World soon. I wonder if you would be interested in going with us?"
Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, then replied, "I'd be happy to oblige."
However, I have a question that I hope Houtu Daoist Houtu can answer.
"Your Witch Clan has been making frequent moves lately, and even seems to be expanding your sphere of influence westward. I wonder what your true intentions are?"
Houtu sighed softly upon hearing this, "There are other details to this matter, which concern the grand plan of my Witch Clan, and I cannot tell you directly."
All I can say is that this matter concerning my Witch Clan will not involve your sect's authority... Never mind, let's discuss the details when we meet!
In the Heavenly Realm, Empress Nuwa Hall, the air was filled with the glow of rosy clouds.
Nuwa slowly opened her eyes, and the Merit Golden Light surrounding her receded into her body like a tide.
After her cultivation improved, she spent some time consolidating her foundation, and now her cultivation has reached the late stage of Quasi-Saint.
Now that her cultivation is sufficient, she can begin to comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Qi. However, after a long period of seclusion, a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi emerged from her Primordial Spirit. Within the Purple Qi, there were faint Heavenly Dao runes flowing, but they remained obscure and difficult to understand, making her somewhat restless.
"The Merit the Heavenly Marriage have been completely refined, but this Hongmeng Purple Qi..." She frowned slightly, "Is still lacking a crucial element."
She sighed softly, preparing to end her cultivation, go outside for some fresh air, and clear her mind.
She stood up, just then Fuxi's footsteps came from outside the hall. "Is my sister about to emerge from seclusion?"
Nuwa casually waved her hand, and the gates of her secluded retreat instantly opened.
Fuxi stood below the steps, holding an Eight Trigrams Disc in his right hand, a smile in his eyes, "After many years of seclusion, it seems you've made considerable progress; your aura is vastly different from before."
"Although my cultivation has progressed, the path to sainthood remains shrouded in mist, and I cannot comprehend the essential methods within the Hongmeng Purple Qi." Nuwa sighed softly, "Elder Brother, I wish to travel across the Primordial Desolation Earth to seek opportunities."
Fuxi calculated with his fingers and suddenly laughed, "That's exactly right."
You wield the Way of Creation, yet dwelling in the Heavenly Realm for too long has only brought you shackles.
But..."
He changed his tone and continued, "Recently, the Witch Clan has been very active, and has even begun to expand its sphere of influence across the Primordial Desolation Earth. Moreover, Houtu and Xuanming have repeatedly entered the Nine Netherworlds, which should be their preparation."
Although my Demon Clan has made some agreements with the Witch Clan, it would be best if you avoided the Witch Clan's influence during your travels to avoid disputes and delays.
Nuwa's eyes flashed. "Hmm, I understand."
However, the sudden expansion of the Witch Clan's power is quite strange; what are their motives?
Has the cause been determined?
"It's still unknown." Fuxi said, handing over a Jade Jue. "This can conceal the secrets of Heavenly Secrets; you should carry it with you."
As Nuwa prepared for her travels, Di Jun sat cross-legged under the Fusang Tree within the Sun Star.
During the Heavenly Marriage Ceremony, because he was the protagonist of the Heavenly Marriage, he received the most Aura of Merit.
After the ceremony, he did not immediately go into seclusion to cultivate, but instead first studied the Path of Yin-Yang Xihe and Yang with Changxi and Xi He.
Thousands of years have passed. Di Jun and Xihe, through the union of Yin and Yin-Yang energies, gave birth to ten Golden Crow Prince, and together with Changxi, gave birth to ten Jade Rabbit Fairies.
He then went to the Sun Star, where he used the supreme Sun Star extreme Yang Qi and the large amount of Aura of Merit he had previously obtained to rapidly improve his cultivation level. He has now stepped into the realm of Three Corpses Slashed. As long as he spends some time nurturing his own Obsession Corpse, he can naturally sever the Three Corpses.
"Eldest Brother, you're only half a step away from Three Corpses Slashed!" Taiyi strode in from outside the hall, the Chaos Bell ringing softly at his waist. "When the time comes, wield the Obsession Corpse and sever them. Once the process is complete, you can attempt to break through to the Hunyuan Realm!"
Di Jun composed himself, stood up, and shook his head, saying, "It's too early to say."
He gazed towards the direction of the Moon Star, a slight smile playing on his lips. "However, I gained a great deal from this ceremony, and I have also gained insights into the Path of Yin-Yang."
Just then, Changxi and Xihe arrived in a golden chariot, on which ten little Jade Rabbit and ten little Golden Crow chirped and fluttered about, playing happily.
Upon seeing Di Jun and Taiyi, and sensing the similar aura emanating from them, a small Golden Crow pounced directly towards Taiyi.
Taiyi picked up the little Golden Crow that had pounced on him and laughed, "These little rascals are quite lively. You Dao Companion in a long time, why don't you catch up first and let me teach these little guys for a few days?"
"Don't worry, Eastern Emperor." Changxi gently stroked the Jade Rabbit in her arms. "The little Jade Rabbit are still young and need me to use the Moonlight Essence to cleanse their meridians regularly."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun touched the Golden Crow's brow, and a wisp of True Sun Fire entered its body. "Once they Form Transformation, they will be appointed as the Sun Star Lord and the Moon Star Envoy Circulating Stars."
