Xuanyuan Clan Descends into the World, While the Western Teachings Reluctantly Assist the Jiu Li Tribe
Houtu had not doubted Primordial Lord's words in the slightest.
After all, Primordial Lord was a Saint. There was no need for him to venture into the depths of reincarnation merely to toy with her.
Moreover, she could personally sense an extremely compatible aura from the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel.
It was as though this supreme treasure had been born specifically for her, causing her mind to tremble!
Every one of these strange phenomena proved the accuracy of Primordial Lord's words.
Primordial Lord sighed. "That's right. The power of this treasure can be called heaven-defying. If you comprehend the Dao contained within it, you should be able to establish your own Dao and govern alongside Heaven!"
"Establish my own Dao! Govern alongside Heaven?!"
Upon hearing this, Houtu's heart shook violently!
If these words were spoken outside the Netherworld, they would be considered heretical and rebellious, and would bring Heaven's punishment!
After all, the Great Wilderness Heavenly Dao stood supreme and tolerated no provocation.
If she established her own Dao and achieved the supreme Earthly Dao, escaping the shackles of the Heavenly Dao would be an easy matter.
At this thought, Houtu immediately felt that Primordial Lord's gift was far too weighty!
"Daoist Primordial Lord, you came here personally. I presume this gift was not given for nothing!"
Houtu's heart burned with anticipation as she voiced the question in her mind.
After all, she had no friendship with Primordial Lord.
Yet Primordial Lord had directly given her such a tremendous opportunity. The scheme behind it was definitely no simple matter!
"That's right."
"There are naturally conditions."
"This seat has sensed the future. An immeasurable tribulation is approaching, one that will sweep across the entire Great Wilderness. The Netherworld will not be spared either. During this cataclysm, it will be suppressed once more and controlled by the Heavenly Court. My condition is that the Netherworld ally itself with the Three Pure Ones and resist it together with us!"
Primordial Lord nodded and stated his condition.
He had come to the Netherworld to give Houtu this opportunity precisely to win her over and increase the foundation for the future Unification of the Three Teachings and the establishment of the Dao Sect.
Now that he had already won over Nüwa, if he could also gain Houtu's assistance, then once the Three Teachings united and the Dao Sect was established, with human-dao Nüwa and earthly-dao Houtu supporting them, there would be five Saints in one sect and two Great Daos. Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun would be unable to stop them. Even the Heavenly Dao would have no choice but to agree!
"An immeasurable tribulation? An alliance?"
Houtu's gaze sharpened, and her heart trembled.
Primordial Lord could actually deduce the immeasurable tribulation?!
The immeasurable tribulation was something the Heavenly Dao had plotted. When it arrived, the heavenly secrets would be thrown into turmoil. Even Heavenly Dao Saints could not predict how it would unfold.
Yet Primordial Lord had been able to foresee it in advance and had even taken the initiative to seek an alliance with her!
Although she could not leave the Netherworld, that did not mean she was unaware of the current situation in the Great Wilderness.
After all, as a Saint, she understood all things.
She had long known that the relationship between the Three Pure Ones had eased, showing signs of reconciliation.
In other words, aside from herself, Primordial Lord had already secured the alliance of three Saints in his plans for the future!
With her added in, there were now four Saints.
What kind of immeasurable tribulation could possibly require so many Saints to join forces?
Even from the creation of the world until now, there had never been such a terrifying calamity of slaughter!
Even the Saint's Lineages would be drawn into it!
And even those who stayed out of the world would be suppressed!
Houtu had no doubts that the Heavenly Court would rise.
After all, Haotian had been personally appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun as the Heavenly Emperor approved by the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao would not abandon him.
Moreover, anything could happen during an immeasurable tribulation.
During the ancient Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, how powerful had the three clans of dragons, phoenixes, and qilins been?
Yet they had still withered after the tribulation.
But what shocked her most was that Primordial Lord could foresee all this in advance. Even as a Saint, she found it utterly astonishing.
"What exactly happened to Primordial Lord? With such plans, who knows what kind of drastic changes the future Great Wilderness will undergo because of him!"
Houtu could not help sighing inwardly.
The impact of Primordial Lord's transformation could no longer be described as shock. It could only be called terror!
But she did not hesitate. She accepted the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel and spoke in a resounding voice: "I agree!"
This was a situation in which both sides would benefit. She had no reason to refuse.
After all, Primordial Lord had said that the future immeasurable tribulation would sweep across the entire Great Wilderness, and the Netherworld would also be suppressed.
If she did not want to follow the established ending, she naturally had to seek a change within it.
Moreover, the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel made it impossible for her to refuse.
Breaking free from the Heavenly Dao's restrictions could be called the lifelong pursuit of her existence!
"Good. Since that is settled, this seat will leave first."
Having finished his business, Primordial Lord said no more and departed directly.
Houtu watched his departing back. The shock in her heart still had not faded as she murmured to herself, "Perhaps because of Primordial Lord, the structure of the entire Great Wilderness will undergo drastic changes in the future!"
Judging from Primordial Lord's current plans and the supreme treasure he had produced, what she could see was probably only the tip of the iceberg.
His arrangements would likely spread throughout the Great Wilderness!
Even she could not predict what would happen in the future.
But she knew one thing. No matter what happened, judging from the various plans Primordial Lord had revealed, his name would be engraved in the endless river of time, becoming a supreme taboo that even the Heavenly Dao could not erase!
"Now that I have allied with Houtu, together with my previous alliance with Nüwa, the future is promising!"
Primordial Lord walked out of the Netherworld calmly, excitement surging in his heart.
The foundation that could now be confirmed was five Saints in one sect. In addition, Nüwa and Houtu would both establish their own Daos, representing different Great Daos.
Even if the human Dao and earthly Dao were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, their strength would not be much weaker than Hongjun's.
With such power, once the Three Teachings united and the Dao Sect was established, even Hongjun would be unable to stop them. They would be strong enough to sweep across the entire Great Wilderness!
Everything was for a better future!
Primordial Lord sighed leisurely and returned to the Jade Void Palace, ordering Guangchengzi to take Nüwa's soul to humanity and deliver it to Shennong.
He also explained some things about the future of the Jingwei Bird.
Afterward, he paid it no further attention. He cultivated while making plans for the Unification of the Three Teachings and the establishment of the Dao Sect.
Humanity.
Guangchengzi descended and returned Nüwa's soul to Shennong. He spoke indifferently: "Although Nüwa was plotted against and killed by the Heavenly Court and the Western Teachings, she can no longer be revived. She has now transformed into a Jingwei Bird."
"If she can take human form in the future, she will be able to exist in another form of life."
"This is the best possible outcome. Do not foolishly insist on reviving her."
Shennong Clan's heart ached, but he also knew that this was the only possible outcome.
Yet the hatred in his heart toward the Two Sages of the West and the Heavenly Court grew even heavier!
If they had not plotted against her, how could his daughter have ended up in such a state?
He was furious, yet helpless. After all, the dead could not be brought back to life.
He looked at Guangchengzi and bowed. "Thank you, Sage Teacher, for rescuing her."
He had long known Guangchengzi's identity.
He was the teacher of Heavenly Emperor Fuxi and the Sage Teacher of humanity.
"I did not participate much in this matter. If you wish to express your thanks, thank my master instead. This soul was brought back from the Netherworld by my master."
Guangchengzi spoke slowly, then left humanity.
Shennong's heart trembled.
It had actually been the Jade Purity Saint who had intervened to help. Shennong naturally knew how powerful the Jade Purity Saint was by now, but he had not expected a matter like this to alarm him.
In Shennong's heart, the figure of the Jade Purity Saint grew ever taller!
"It is time to head to Mount Tai for the Fengshan ceremony as well."
Shennong spoke slowly.
Because of the matter concerning Nüwa's soul, the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai had been delayed. Now that her soul had been recovered, it was time.
