The Six Earth Dao Saints Emerged, and the Balance of the Primordial World Shifted
The True Spirit and origins of Gonggong and Zhurong are still intact, and there is still a chance for them to return!
The Ancestral Witch were overjoyed upon hearing this news.
When they heard the news of Gonggong and Zhurong's deaths and the collapse of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, these brothers were heartbroken.
They were all born together in the blood pool of the Pangu Hall, and have been connected for countless billions of years. Their bond is so deep that the loss of even one of them would be an unbearable burden for them.
They felt something was amiss at the time; even if Gonggong and Zhurong had some minor conflicts, it shouldn't have come to this.
They pointed the finger at the Demon Clan and the group of Saint, especially at Yuanshi, who had a grudge against them, and was the main target of their suspicions.
At that time, some people suggested taking revenge and starting a war against the Demon Clan, while also targeting the disciples of those Saints. However, because the sky collapsed and the earth caved in during the Great Tribulation, they had to protect their people and did not have the time to take action.
After finishing his business, Houtu summoned him and told him the good news.
Their emotions were truly on a rollercoaster, just as the saying goes: life is unpredictable, like the large intestine enclosing the small intestine.
Time flows on, and hundreds of thousands of years have quietly passed over this Primordial Desolation Earth.
Since the Empress Houtu Youming Establish Dao in the netherworld and announced the establishment of the Six Earthly Dao Saints, the Earth Spirit Origin Qi stirred up the Primordial World, and the path to enlightenment was opened to many top powerhouses in the Primordial World.
Relying on the Earth Spirit Origin Qi bestowed by Houtu, several powerful beings closely connected with the earth, the Youming, and Reincarnation gradually comprehended the Earth Spirit Origin Qi, mastered the many Laws contained within it, and finally broke through their own realm's shackles, stepping into the supreme Saint Realm.
The first to successfully attain enlightenment was the Blood Sea Minghe.
His Blood Sea connected to the Primordial World, and the network of foul energy was finally completed.
On this day, deep within the Blood Sea.
The Minghe light around Styx receded, and he was surrounded by a profound and mysterious Earthly Dao radiance.
Based on the Blood Sea, he comprehended the essence of the Blood Sea's "acceptance of filth" and "transformation" in the Reincarnation, which aligns with the true meaning of the Earthly Dao of "inclusiveness, rotation, birth and death."
Finally, using the power of the Foul Qi Network and the Asura Path, he connected with the Earthly Dao through the Earth Spirit Origin Qi, successfully imprinting his Primordial Spirit on the Earthly Dao and becoming Earth Dao Saint.
The Saintly Might was overwhelming, the Blood Sea surged, and countless Asura Clan knelt on the ground, feeling the vast and solemn Saintly Might of the Minghe. Their hearts were filled with turmoil, and they sang "May the Lord live forever!"
"The Blood Dao is also the path of life, and the Slaughter Dao is also the path of purification."
Today, my path has been completed.
The majestic voice of the Minghe echoed throughout the Blood Sea and the Primordial World.
After achieving sainthood, he immediately set about integrating the power of the Blood Sea's origin. With a high-level perspective, he re-examined the original plan and upgraded the original vast and intricate network of foul energy that covered all parts of the Primordial World. As a result, the Fortune of the Asura Path rose accordingly.
Not long after Minghe attained sainthood, the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord and the Great Emperor Fengdu followed suit, successively attaining enlightenment.
The Mount Tai Prefecture Lord holds the power over the mountains and Earth Veins, while the Great Emperor Fengdu governs the Order of the Departed Souls. Nourished by the Earth Spirit Origin Qi, the two almost simultaneously comprehend the Earthly Dao's mission of "bearing" and "resting in peace."
After awakening, the divine body of the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord became even more majestic, like the remnant of Buzhou, and his aura gradually synchronized with the pulse of the Primordial Desolation Earth; the figure of the Great Emperor Fengdu became increasingly illusory and profound, as if it had merged into the endless Laws of the Youming.
The Two exchanged a smile, their already close relationship growing even stronger, and holy power began to flow through them.
"All things have a spirit, and the deceased return to the Youming."
However, there are those who died unjustly in this world, whose resentment remains and whose lifespans are not exhausted, making it difficult for them to enter the Reincarnation.
"Seeing this scene, we the Two wish to open a passage in the Earthly Dao to accommodate such creatures," said Mount Tai Prefecture Lord in a loud voice.
The Great Emperor Fengdu, standing to the side, nodded and, drawing upon the power of the Nine Netherworlds, proclaimed in a loud voice:
This path is called the 'Ghost Dao'.
Transform obsession into the path of enlightenment, and condense your inner spirit to ascend to true truth.
In an instant, on the edge of the Youming, magnificent and Laws governed "ghost Ghost Capital" rose from the ground. They were Order and became sacred places for cultivation for beings who lingered between life and death and were not subject to Reincarnation. The two largest Ghost Capital, named "Fengdu Ghost City" and "Mount Tai Ghost Domain", stood majestically, forged by the combined holy power of the two people and the Laws of the Earthly Dao.
From then on, the Ghost Dao was opened, and the Reincarnation was perfected once again.
Deep within the Nine Nether Underworld, in the Hall of Reincarnation.
The Xuanming Ancestral Witch's chilling aura subsided, and his figure became even more ethereal and otherworldly. Beneath him, a vast icy river manifested, extending into the depths of the Nine Netherworlds.
She was originally the Ice Ancestral Witch, wielding the power of severing cold and Reincarnation, forming a wonderful complement to Houtu's rich earth and cyclical nature.
The Earth Spirit Origin Qi allowed her to realize that the Earthly Dao also possesses the profound principle of "extreme yin and extreme cold, stagnation and return to the origin," ultimately leading her to become the Earthly Dao Ice Saint.
"Sister Xuanming, congratulations on achieving Sainthood!" The congratulations from the Empress Houtu came from the depths of Reincarnation, tinged with joy.
Xuanming smiled and nodded in response, "I never thought of that either. My path lies not in the Witch Blood, but in the Earthly Dao."
Pangu Hall of the Witch Clan, news of Xuanming's attainment of enlightenment spread, causing jubilation among the Ancestral Witch, and a look of satisfaction flashed in Dijiang's eyes.
However, in the blink of an eye, this sense of relief was replaced by solemnity.
With Xuanming's attainment of enlightenment, the Gods and Fiends Great Formation is now missing another member!
In the Netherworld Starry Sky, the newly erected Ziwei Enclosure disappeared.
Ziwei Star Lord sat cross-legged atop a deep, dark purple Stars, which was his Daoist Dao Field, "Zi Chen Star," manifested in the Youming using the sacred power of the Earthly Dao.
He established the Youming Stars lineage within the Youming, evolving the starry Starry Sky of the Youming World. Upon achieving his goal, he finally attained Sainthood and proclaimed himself "Holy Lord Ziwei."
With the Six Earthly Dao Saints now assembled, he no longer needed to conceal his stance.
The divine power was activated, and the primordial essence of the Netherworld Stars Origin resonated, their starlight connecting and shimmering, transforming into a "Youming Star God Palace" shrouded in hazy starlight.
After obtaining the Earth Spirit Origin Qi, Ziwei did not make a big fuss about it to the Primordial World. However, her decision to stay in the Youming permanently and not return to Mount Sumeru had already declared that the Ziwei lineage had become independent from the Western Teachings.
At this moment, the Youming Star shone brightly, as if it were a signal of some kind of agreement. Hundreds of Evasion Light came from the Western Region, all of them were the Star Lord that Ziwei brought to the Star Academy when she joined the Western Teachings.
Upon seeing this, Ksitigarbha, who was stationed in Ksitigarbha Land of Reincarnation, rushed over and asked Ziwei Star Lord, "What is the meaning of this, Uncle Ziwei?"
Ziwei Star Lord answered calmly and naturally:
This is the lineage of the Earthly Dao Sainthood; they shall follow me and guard the Netherworld Starry Sky under the jurisdiction of the Authority of the Way of Earth.
There must be a boundary between the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao.
I am grateful for Jieyin past kindness of the two Saints, Zhunti, but our positions are different and our paths diverge. From this day forward, the Stellar God lineage will be renamed the Youming Star God, and will be subordinate to the Earthly Dao.
Ksitigarbha remained silent for a moment, then bowed and withdrew.
Within the Stellar God Palace, starlight coalesced, Form Transformation new Youming Star Official, and a divine system was quietly established.
Thus, the Six Earthly Dao Saints returned to their rightful places.
Zhenyuanzi is the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Ancestor Minghe is the lord of Asura, Mount Tai Prefecture Lord manages mountains and Earth Veins, Great Emperor Fengdu is in charge of the underworld and ghost Ghost Dao, Ancestral Witch Xuanming becomes the cold and lonely saint of the Earthly Dao, Ziwei Star Lord is in charge of the Youming Star God. The Primordial World has a new look.
Pangu Hall, the atmosphere was very lively, as everyone celebrated Xuanming's attainment of enlightenment.
"Sister Xuanming has attained the Earthly Dao Sainthood, making our Witch Clan even stronger!" Zhujiuyin said happily as her Time Eyes opened and closed.
Qiangliang, Jumang, and other Ancestral Witch also nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Dijiang, sitting in the main seat, said in a deep voice:
Xuanming's ascension to sainthood undoubtedly enhances the prestige of our race.
However, Saint have Saint own dignity, Earthly Dao has its Earthly Dao responsibilities.
Since she has merged into the workings of the Earthly Dao, she is a Primordial World saint, not merely the Ancestral Witch of my Witch Clan.
If we were to participate in the Witch-Demon War again, it would violate the Earthly Dao, and could easily incite a backlash from the conflict between the Heavenly Dao and Earthly Dao, even jeopardizing the very foundation of the Youming's Reincarnation.
Upon hearing Shebishi suddenly sighed:
My Eldest Brother is absolutely right.
Although Xuanming has become a saint, the Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array and Demons Formation was originally set up based on the resonance of the Bloodline and Law Origin of my twelve siblings.
Previously, Houtu Embody Reincarnation, and the three of us nurtured the Great Witch, Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, Chi You. We originally intended to use their Essence Blood and blood, along with the Postnatal Pangu Essence, as a guide, combined with Secret Technique, to barely replace the positions of our three brothers, Houtu, Gonggong, and Zhurong.
Now that Xuanming has become a saint, it is necessary to cultivate a fourth successor!
Dijiang:"
This is also what worries me; the time for ending the war set by the Dao Ancestor is not far off!
With overwhelming pressure and the Demon Clan race stirring, we must be fully prepared; the Gods and Fiends Great Formation is indispensable!
We must find a successor as soon as possible and spare no expense in accelerating their training!
Inside the training ground, the elite Great Witch of the Witch Clan were engaged in frantic sparring and combat.
Three Paths stood out in particular: Xing Tian, Chi You, and Jiu Feng.
Meanwhile, in a chilling, icy valley, another figure was struggling to break through his own limits.
That was Great Witch named Xiangliu, from the Xuanming lineage.
He had once received a wisp of Ancestral Witch essence that had been separated from the Xuanming Ancestral Witch before he attained enlightenment. At this moment, he sat cross-legged on the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice, refining the power of his essence.
His body cracked and healed, his Bloodline boiling uncontrollably, as if he wanted to forge himself into an ice sculpture.
This is the successor that Xuanming cultivated for Xuanming lineage before he became a saint.
With the rise of the Six Earthly Dao Saints, the power map of the Primordial World became increasingly complex, and all the sages began to establish or expand their own power.
Amidst the Blood Sea, a colossal city of unparalleled magnificence, entirely constructed of dark red crystals— the Asura Holy City— was completed.
At the heart of this city lies the Purification Hub of the network of foul energy, and also the sacred temple of the Asura Path.
On this day, the Ancestor Minghe ordered an altar to be erected. He walked onto the altar and looked down at the boundless Asura Clan army below.
The Four Great Demon Kings, Mara, Lord of Desire, Great Brahma, Indra, Lord of Lust, Shiva, stood on either side, while the Four Great Demon Generals Indra Vishnu, led the army, and Seventy-Two Asura Princesses guided the various ceremonial guards.
Today is a big day for the Asura Clan.
Minghe declared loudly on the altar:
" In the Primordial World of war, amidst the surging Calamity Qi, it is the perfect time for the Asura Path to flourish!"
However, if the Calamity Qi gets out of control, it will also pollute the world and deviate from our path.
Today, in the name of the Lord of Asura, the Lord of the Blood Sea, I proclaim to Heaven and Earth: The Asura Cult is established!
As soon as the sacred words were spoken, the Blood Sea surged, the Asura's battle intent soared to the Yunxiao, the rules of heaven and earth responded, a thick golden pillar of Merit descended upon the holy city, and a vast Merit Golden Cloud accumulated in the sky.
Bathed in the light of Merit, the Minghe 'Saintly Might shone even brighter, and it continued, "
Our religion takes "killing to protect the Way, purifying impurities Return to Origin" as its fundamental doctrine!
Those who join our religion should uphold the Order of the Blood Sea, maintain the circulation of impure energy, and protect the clarity of one region of heaven and earth amidst the calamities and struggles. This is the Great Virtue!
Anyone who opposes our principles, disrupts our order, or undermines our foundation is an enemy deserving of death!
When the teachings are successfully established, Merit Golden Cloud descend from heaven.
After the Asura Cult was established, Minghe appointed Bojun as "Guardian Great Demon King" to oversee all matters of killing and conquest within the cult; and appointed Uma as "Holy Cult Heavenly Consort" to be in charge of the operation of the extradition network and the core of the Blood Sea transformation.
From then on, the Blood Sea faction became a force to be reckoned with, possessing a sanctuary, a city, a religion, and an army, rising to power with great force.
Within the Mount Tai Ghost Domain and the Fengdu Ghost City, the atmosphere is eerie yet Order.
The statue of the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord stands tall in the center of the city, Jieyin the deathly stillness of the heavens; while the Dharma Form the Great Emperor Fengdu is hidden in the deepest part of the city, maintaining the balance between the Reincarnation and the Laws of the Netherworld.
Countless Ghost Cultivator reside in the numerous ghost cities established by the two Earth Dao Saints, either condensing their Yin Souls or studying the Secret Technique of the Ghost Dao.
The two Saint joined forces to establish the fundamental methods of Ghost Cultivator, jointly promulgating the "Yin Law Ghost Chapter," which established the Ghost Cultivator Realm System and survival Laws.
They did not establish a religion, but the two ghost cities and the many Ghost Capital scattered throughout the Youming themselves inherited their will and Dao Lineage, providing a place of refuge and a path to self-improvement for those souls excluded from the normal Reincarnation.
The Ghost Dao they pioneered complemented Houtu's Reincarnation system, forming a more complete version of the Netherworld Underworld.
The Mount Tai Prefecture Lord and the Great Emperor Fengdu often discussed the Dao in the City Lord's Mansion, their holy light intertwining as they talked about how to radiate the power of the Youming deeper and stabilize this pure land opened up for living beings between life and death.
Although their power is not as flamboyant as that of the Asura, they have built an incredibly solid foundation in the depths of the Youming.
Zi Chen Star, its starlight shifting.
Standing alone before the Ziwei Star Lord's palace, his gaze pierced through the Youming sky, looking towards the Stars Heavenly Realm.
The Youming Star God System has been initially established, with numerous Stars phantoms Deification projections here for Star Official to cultivate and control.
Although he did not openly raise his banner, the Western Teachings had already lost its authority and discourse over the Netherworld Starry Sky. He had become independent of the Western Teachings and established his own Youming Star God Orthodoxy.
With the million-year deadline approaching, the Witch-Demon are also preparing for war.
In the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation is being practiced more and more frequently.
Di Jun retrieved a large amount of supplies from the Celestial Palace Treasury and distributed them to various departments to strengthen his forces.
At the same time, he ordered all Demon God and demon generals to lead their respective troops in constant drills and practice of formations, without any slackening.
A deafening roar echoed through the heavens, and a murderous aura swept outwards.
The Heavenly Court's war machine began to operate at high power, countless precious lights pierced the Heavenly Realm, and the sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Similarly, the Witch Clan has intensified its drills and is also accelerating the selection of a fourth replacement.
Since the Twelve Ancestral Witches are not all present, they cannot practice the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Formation. They can only take out a simplified diagram of the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Formation and pass on their experience to Xing Tian, Chi You, and Jiu Feng by referring to the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation Diagram.
In the Primordial Desolation World, whether it was the radiance of the Heavenly Cycle Stars in the Heavenly Court or the Baleful Qi aura of the Witch Tribe into the sky, both became increasingly awe-inspiring as the end of the war approached.
This conflict between the two races, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will be the final battle.
