Shocking-A Primordial Spirit Could Help Blood Essence Too?

No one knew whether Ancestral Witch Houtu had made it in for this first sermon.

Zhou Qingqing's thoughts churned.

The novels she had read all gave differing accounts of whether the Ancestral Witches had come to hear the sermon.

They probably had not made it in.

The most reliable records stated that Ancestral Witch Houtu only came to Purple Cloud Palace for the second sermon. The Witch Race likely only truly rose to fame after the first sermon as well.

Zhou Qingqing recalled the information she knew.

It would be wonderful if her masters could help Lady Houtu enter Purple Cloud Palace.

Zhou Qingqing sighed.

Lady Houtu had been born from Pangu's Blood Essence and was the only one among the Twelve Ancestral Witches whose mind had not been corrupted by the earth's baleful aura.

If she could hear one more sermon, perhaps she could even alter the fate of the Witch Race's destruction.

But I've never heard of the Three Pure Ones having any dealings with the Ancestral Witches.

Even when the Ancestral Witches traveled the Primordial World beneath the banner of Pangu Orthodox, my three masters seemed not to have given them a single glance.

Still, Ancestral Witch Houtu is different from the other Ancestral Witches. She is the one who will sacrifice herself to become Reincarnation, far less savage than the rest...

Houtu was one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches born from Pangu's Blood Essence.

Houtu would one day transform herself into Reincarnation.

As the Three Pure Ones listened to Zhou Qingqing's words, the corners of their mouths twitched.

They were the Three Pure Ones born from Pangu's primordial spirit.

By rights, they truly did have a connection to the Ancestral Witches born from Pangu's Blood Essence.

In truth, however, that was not the case.

Ever since taking form, the Three Pure Ones had wished to cast off Pangu's restraints and walk their own Great Dao.

Houtu's origins in Pangu's Blood Essence would not affect the actions of the Three Pure Ones in the slightest.

But—

The Reincarnation Zhou Qingqing mentioned surprised them once more.

The Reincarnation Great Dao.

Like the Karma Great Dao and the Dao of Creation, it was one of the top ten among the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The Three Pure Ones had never expected the Ancestral Witch born from Pangu's Blood Essence outside the gate to be connected to the laws of the Reincarnation Great Dao.

Houtu's transformation into Reincarnation would be a momentous event for the entire Primordial World, and the Primordial World had been created by Pangu.

If Houtu transformed into Reincarnation, she would be repaying Pangu's grace.

It would have been one thing if the Three Pure Ones had not known, but now that they had learned this from Zhou Qingqing's inner thoughts, they naturally could not stand by and do nothing.

"Eldest Brother, Third Brother, you have both acted already. This time, let me step forward."

Jade Pure Yuanshi had just received help from his eldest brother and third brother, so naturally he could not let his two brothers handle this matter as well.

He slowly rose to his feet and gave Hongjun, seated atop the nine-tiered Cloud Platform, a slight bow. "May the Saint hear me. The fellow Daoist outside Purple Cloud Palace is Ancestral Witch Houtu, born from Pangu's Blood Essence. I know the time has come, but may I ask for leniency and allow her to enter and listen?"

Heh heh, Pangu's primordial spirit is speaking up for Pangu's Blood Essence now.

I really misjudged Second Master.

He can step forward when it matters, after all.

Hongjun's sermon was originally meant for my Three Pure Ones masters anyway. If other cultivators spoke up, it definitely would not work, but since Second Master has opened his mouth, Hongjun will give him face no matter what.

Now Lady Houtu can hear the very first sermon too.

Second Master really did a fine job...

Jade Pure Yuanshi had not expected that his stepping forward to plead for Houtu would earn such wholehearted support from his disciple.

However—

That delight did not cloud his mind.

The claim that Hongjun intended to harvest the Primordial World's fortune made his heart pound with unease.

From Zhou Qingqing's words, Hongjun, seated high atop the nine-tiered Cloud Platform, seemed to have become some villainous Demon King with countless schemes.

Had his composure not been strong enough, he likely would have been unable to control his expression by now.

According to Zhou Qingqing, Hongjun should agree to his plea outright, so he could only wait quietly for Hongjun's response.

Hongjun was a supreme Saint, and Jade Pure Yuanshi simply could not fathom this Saint's thoughts.

"Since she has arrived, she is fated."

"Haotian, Yaochi, let young friend Houtu enter."

From atop the nine-tiered Cloud Platform, Hongjun's voice carried not the slightest fluctuation as he calmly instructed the two attendants to let Houtu in.

Whoosh!

With a leap, Houtu stepped into Purple Cloud Palace from outside.

Her sisters and brothers had not wished to come beyond Chaos to hear the sermon. Alone, she had smashed through all manner of Chaos with nothing but her fists before barely managing to reach Purple Cloud Palace.

When she saw the gates close, she had already believed it impossible for her to enter.

She had not expected cultivators within Purple Cloud Palace to speak up for her.

And they were cultivators seated at the very front of Purple Cloud Palace.

The Witch Race had not yet traveled the Primordial World and possessed no reputation at all. She herself had no primordial spirit and could not deduce who had spoken for her. Moreover, the time for the sermon had arrived, so it was not appropriate to offer excessive thanks.

She could only make a gesture of gratitude before hastily finding a meditation cushion and sitting down.

Seeing that Houtu had truly been let in just like that—

Jade Pure Yuanshi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly returned to his own meditation cushion.

My three masters showed themselves during the first sermon. It seems the Three Pure Ones' reputation will thoroughly spread among the mighty beings.

Boss Hongjun, hurry up and begin the sermon. Let me listen too.

Although this first sermon is of little use to my masters, it should still offer me some inspiration.

As if responding to Zhou Qingqing's words—

Hongjun slowly opened his mouth.

"All of you fated ones who have arrived at Purple Cloud Palace are now Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. I shall first speak of the Dao of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, establishing a firm Dao foundation for you all."

"First, I shall speak of the Dao of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!"

Hongjun's majestic voice slowly rang out.

It really is the Dao of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

No wonder Zhou Qingqing said it was useless to us.

The Three Pure Ones came to this realization, yet they did not relax.

A Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal as seen by a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal as seen by a Saint were naturally not the same thing. Since they wished to advance, they naturally had to sort through their current realm anew.

Naturally, they could not let their guard down.

Zhou Qingqing, too, listened to Hongjun's sermon with great interest.

Yet—

The longer she listened, the less she understood.

Though she was the twenty-fourth-grade Creation Azure Lotus, with the foundation of an innate supreme treasure, her own realm had not yet reached Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

I can't understand it, I can't understand it. Forget it, I'll just treat it as listening to the Heaven Book.

Not long after listening, Zhou Qingqing fell asleep just like that.

The Three Pure Ones secretly found it amusing. The insights of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal truly were like the Heaven Book to Zhou Qingqing, so it was normal for her to fall asleep.

She had been startling them for quite a while already. It was good that she finally quieted down for a while; otherwise, they would not even be able to listen to the sermon in peace.
