Cat Loans-Interested? (Continued)
Those who lack the aptitude, comprehension, and cultivation are not fortunate enough to receive the teachings of Houtu.
Bai Chen originally thought that Huo Ling would be the first to fall into a coma, since Huo Ling had the lowest cultivation level among those listening to the teachings.
However, it turned out that the Western Teachings disciples brought by Jieyin and Zhunti were the first to fall into a deep sleep.
Huo Ling, who was at the Half-step Golden Immortal realm, comprehended a trace of creation during Houtu's sermon. He soared from the Half-step Golden Immortal realm all the way up, condensed the Five Qi in the Chest, and became Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
Although Huo Ling's aptitude was just so-so in the eyes of Innate Great God, in reality, her aptitude was not bad at all.
After all, if her aptitude were poor, how could she have become Interception Sect of the third generation of the Jie Sect, and how could she have been recruited by Bai Chen?
After Huo Ling became Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, he was somewhat unable to bear the blessing and fell into a deep sleep.
After Huo Ling fell into a deep sleep, during Houtu Tu's sermon, the Western Teachings disciples brought by Jieyin and Zhunti fell into a deep sleep one by one, except for the eldest disciple Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light.
Now, among the remaining younger generation, only five remain: Kong Xuan, Xuan Du, Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light, Yaochi, Yaoji.
Of these five younger generation members, it's uncertain who will be able to persevere to the end.
Suddenly distracted, Houtu asked Bai Chen:
"Little White, which of these five juniors do you think will last until the end?"
As a sage, Houtu could naturally see the aptitude of Kong Xuan and the other four, but she wanted to test this useless cat.
"It must be my great-great-grandson Kong Xuan!"
Bai Chen directly cast his vote for his nephew Kong Xuan, jokingly saying that his nephew Kong Xuan would later be known as the number one person below the sage.
Although Kong Xuan's title of being the first person after the sage is largely undeserved.
But only with a large enough water capacity can it absorb enough water!
If your capacity is small, how much water can you hold?
Similarly, if Kong Xuan's aptitude were poor, how could he possibly have earned the title of the number one person below the Dao Proof stage?
Furthermore, what are Kong Xuan's backgrounds? And what are the backgrounds of the other four?
Although Kong Xuan is not Innate Divine Beast, it was conceived by the Innate Five Elements Qi that invaded the body of the Yuanfeng and absorbed part of the Yuanfeng's Innate Origin. Its aptitude is no weaker than that of Innate Divine Beast.
While the other four were of decent caliber, they were simply no match for Kong Xuan.
As Bai Chen had predicted, Yaoji was the first of the five people, including Kong Xuan, to succumb to the pressure.
Yaochi, Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light, and Xuan Du were basically all unable to withstand the attack simultaneously.
Kong Xuan persisted, but he was different from Xuan Du two; he was under immense pressure.
As the eldest son of Yuanfeng, Kong Xuan bears the responsibility of revitalizing the Phoenix Clan. The pressure on him is immense, so he naturally has to work hard!
As time passed, Houtu's preaching finally came to an end.
"Wake up!"
With a loud shout from Houtu, those who had been dozing off to listen to the teachings awoke one after another.
"This sermon is now over. You may all depart!"
Houtu waved her hand, signaling the listeners to leave.
"Thank you Empress Houtu, for spreading the gospel to us!"
"We'll take our leave!"
After bowing and expressing their gratitude to Houtu, the listeners departed.
Jin Ning and the others were the first to leave. Jin Ning had to report to Nuwa immediately about Nuwa's attempt to shift the Houtu to Nuwa.
After most of the others had left, Houtu, seeing that Jieyin and Zhunti had not left, spoke up:
"Jieyin and Zhunti, what exactly are you planning? Just tell me."
Houtu knew that Jieyin and Zhunti had not left, and that they must have something in mind.
Even the thick-skinned Zhunti actually spoke up:
"Houtu Daoist Houtu, you know that the Western Primordial Era is inferior to the southern and northern Primordial World, and even more so to the prosperous Primordial World part. If..."
Zhunti could finish speaking, Houtu interrupted him, saying:
"So you want me to assign some beings that should have been born in the Eastern Primordial World through the Six Paths of Reincarnation to your Western Primordial Era."
Houtu wasn't stupid; she understood exactly what those two meant.
Houtu estimated that if it weren't for her formidable strength, Jieyin and Zhunti wouldn't be pleading with her, but rather threatening her.
"Um!"
Jieyin and Zhunti nodded in agreement. They had come to Houtu's sermon for two reasons: first, to investigate Houtu's strength, and second, for this very matter.
Jieyin and Zhunti thought that no matter how hard their fellow disciples tried, the newborn beings born in the Western Primordial Era were not talented enough, and it would be difficult for them to revitalize the Western Primordial Era.
Therefore, he thought of using Houtu's connections to arrange for more beings to be born in the Western Primordial Era, and to arrange for some new beings with strong potential to be born, so that the Western Primordial Era could prosper.
"Hmph!"
Houtu sneered, then suddenly flew into a rage and shouted:
"Jieyin and Zhunti, as Heavenly Dao Saint, are you unaware of the impact this will have on the Eastern Primordial World?"
Houtu was the Earthly Dao Spokesperson, and she was well aware of the consequences if this were to happen.
Her anger stemmed from the fact that Jieyin and Zhunti intended to draw blood from the Eastern Primordial World to nourish the Western Primordial Era.
Use the future of the Primordial World East to become the cornerstone of the rise of the Western Primordial Era.
According to Houtu, Jieyin and Zhunti sainthood by borrowing a loan from the Heavenly Dao through great compassion, out of compassion for the suffering of all beings.
Based on the current behavior of these two, Houtu strongly suspects that Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti are merely feigning compassion.
"Houtu Daoist Houtu, now the Eastern Primordial World is filled with countless battles."
"Even if more Primordial World beings were born in Primordial World East, they would still be slaughtered. It would be better to give them to the Western Primordial Era."
Faced with Houtu's angry rebuke, Zhunti did not feel that his fellow disciples had done anything wrong.
You must know that in the Primordial World East, there were Witch Clan on the ground and demon tribes in the sky. All these tribes fought each other, making it a huge battlefield.
Even if a promising talent were to be born in the Primordial World East, it would likely fail to grow and would simply be wasted.
Rather than wasting it, it's better to give it to the Western Primordial Era.
Although the Western Primordial Era was barren, it was free from large-scale warfare, making it an ideal place for new life to descend upon the world!
"Houtu Daoist Houtu, moreover, there are countless races and beings in the Eastern Primordial World. Even if the number of newly reincarnated beings is reduced by several tens of percent, it will not affect their foundation."
Zhunti is the main attacker, Jieyin naturally has to play a supporting role.
He was not greedy in his Jieyin; he didn't expect to take everything, he only intended to take a certain amount.
"Snort!"
Houtu snorted coldly. She could tolerate shamelessness, but she had never seen anyone this shameless.
"Your Daluo Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saint of the Western Primordial Era are few because your West is a barren land, so no one can stay."
"Even if I arrange for beings with good aptitude to be reincarnated in the Western Primordial Era, how many Daluo Golden Immortal can you cultivate? And of those, how many will you be able to keep?"
Houtu ruthlessly exposed the scar on Jieyin and Zhunti's hearts. It's true that there are few strong people in the Western Primordial Era, mainly because the West is barren.
In the past, during the Dao-Devil War, the Devil Ancestor Luo Hou destroyed the spiritual veins of the West, turning the Western Primordial Era into a barren land.
The Western Primordial Era is a barren land with scarce spiritual energy, making it extremely difficult for Daluo Golden Immortal to be born.
Moreover, even the Daluo Golden Immortal born in the Western Primordial Era only have two choices: either join the Western Teachings to cultivate on Mount Ling, or go to other wealthy places in the Primordial World to cultivate.
Houtu's tough stance displeased Jieyin and Zhunti.
The Western Primordial Era is indeed a bit barren compared to other places, but it's not as bad as Houtu described, is it?
Left with no other choice, Jieyin and Zhunti had to temporarily abandon this idea.
At the same time, the brothers exchanged glances and then turned their gazes to Bai Chen.
They remembered this cat, as if it had been appointed by Houtu as the Lord of the Beast Path.
The Beast Path governs a vast area, encompassing Beast Path, including scaled animals, Flying Birds, and beasts. The majority of beings in the Western Primordial Era also belong to the Beast Path Realm.
Since it's impossible to get through to Houtu through connections, his fellow disciples can secretly discuss it with the cat, and at worst, offer him some benefits.
Bai Chen: Houtu is my closest friend. I would never lie behind her back and collude with you shameless scoundrels!
Unless, you have to pay more!
Zhunti bowed to Houtu and said:
"Houtu Daoist Houtu, I see that your underworld is newly opened and its order is not yet perfect."
"I'd like to send some of my disciples to the Underworld for training, and also to share some of your responsibilities. What do you think?"
The underworld is responsible for the reincarnation of all living beings in the Primordial World. Zhunti that Houtu will receive a considerable amount of Merit and Fortune and fortune in a Houtu day.
He then planned to arrange for his Western Teachings disciples to come to the underworld to earn some Merit and Fortune.
"Can!"
Houtu nodded upon hearing this, Zhunti Jieyin overjoyed.
But Jieyin and Zhunti was overjoyed, because Houtu hadn't finished speaking.
"As long as you are a disciple of the Western Teachings, and swear a solemn oath to leave the Western Teachings and pledge eternal loyalty to the Underworld, you may come to the Underworld to cultivate and accumulate Merit and Fortune."
Houtu felt that she was quite generous; as long as the disciples of the Western Teachings could meet her conditions, she would accept as many as they came.
Anyway, the underworld's beasts of burden—no, I mean the gods and underworld officials, soul-reaping messengers, and ferrymen—are still far from being qualified.
"Whee!"
Bai Chen, who was just observing, couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Houtu's conditions.
The Great God Bai Chen himself said, how could Houtu be so kind as to allow the people of the Western Teachings to infiltrate the underworld and earn Merit and Fortune there?
So that's what the shaman was thinking!
