Recruiting Bodyguards and Enforcers! (Continued)

Phoenix Perch Mountain Zu Fei Palace...

Nuwa was very unhappy to see Bai Chen off and bring Houtu back.

That Bad Cat ran off to play with Houtu, and that's that.

Now they've even brought Houtu back. Don't they Nuwa their master, Nuwa?

If you piss yourself off, you might end up moving house with this Bad Cat.

Bai Chen sat on Houtu's shoulder, ate a few fruits to moisten his throat, and then said:

"Thirty-six represents great perfection and completeness."

Thirty-six corresponds to eighteen, and eighteen also represents great perfection and completeness!

"Heaven is flawed, and Earth is incomplete; Heaven should have thirty-six parts, and Earth should have eighteen!"

Bai Chen couldn't directly tell Houtu about the Eighteen Levels of Hell, so he could only hint at it using the number eighteen.

Upon hearing Bai Chen's words, Houtu's heart trembled. She kept these words in mind and would definitely study them carefully in the future.

"Huh!"

Nuwa was listening nearby, was startled upon hearing this. Was this really her own Bad Cat?

How could my own Bad Cat say such profound things?

Nuwa was puzzled: what did it mean that the heavens should have thirty-six parts and the earth eighteen?

According to everyone's Innate Inheritance memories, haven't they always been the Thirty-Three Heavens?

What does "heavenly deficiency and earthly imperfection" mean?

Could it be that the Thirty-three Heavens are incomplete, missing three more heavens?

Why don't you listen to it again yourself!

At this moment, Bai Chen waved his little paw, and the roof of the Zu Fei Palace disappeared, revealing the myriad heavens.

Bai Chen sat on Houtu's shoulder, stretched out his little paw and pointed at the heavens and the nine skies, saying:

"The heavens have nine heavens: Divine Heaven, Azure Heaven, Bixiao Heaven, Crimson Heaven, Radiant Heaven, Jade Heaven, Splendid Heaven, Purple Heaven, and Supreme Heaven!"

"High above the divine heavens, millions of miles above the earth. In the realm of the divine heavens, the azure sky is but a companion. But the azure sky is not known, for it is the dwelling place of earth..."

"The heavens have nine heavens, and the earth has nine netherworlds!"

Just as Houtu and Nuwa were listening intently, Bai Chen suddenly changed the subject:

"What is the Nine Netherworlds? Houtu, you can guess for yourself!"

Bai Chen felt he had said enough. He couldn't very well tell Houtu directly that the Nine Netherworlds were the Nine Springs, or the Nine Springs Hell, could he?

"Nuwa, wasn't my preaching just right?"

Bai Chen boasted to Nuwa, practically telling Nuwa directly, "Quickly praise this great god, worship this great god, and extol this great god!"

Just as Bai Chen was waiting to be praised by Nuwa, Nuwa grabbed Bai Chen, shaking and scolding him:

"Who are you? Get out of Little White's body!"

Nuwa strongly suspected that her Bad Cat had been possessed and controlled by someone else; otherwise, how could her Bad Cat, with its limited cultivation, have said such things?

Okay, in fact, Nuwa knew that Bai Chen had not been possessed.

After all, this Bad Cat is Innate Divine Beast, and it's not so easy for it to be possessed.

Those with lower cultivation levels cannot possess Bai Chen's body, while those with higher cultivation levels would not even consider Bai Chen's physical form.

For beings born in the natural world, even if they lose their physical body, they will not try to possess the body of another.

At worst, I can just lose some cultivation and rebuild my physical body.

Possessing another's body has a huge drawback for innate beings: it affects the purity of their own origin, causing nothing but harm.

Nuwa was just feeling uneasy; she was a little jealous.

Even I, the master, haven't figured this out, so how does this Bad Cat, a mere Pet Beast, know?

Between Nuwa herself and this Bad Cat, who is truly the master?

Bai Chen: This great god is the master!

Most importantly, this Bad Cat is my own pet, so why should it preach to Houtu?

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, quickly release Little White! Little White is sticking out its tongue!"

Houtu saw that Nuwa was shaking Bai Chen so much that his tongue was sticking out, and she got a little anxious. She quickly scolded Nuwa and ordered her to stop.

"Houtu, this Bad Cat is Innate Divine Beast!"

Nuwa gave Houtu a speechless look, her eyes seeming to say:

Houtu, are you stupid?

Can a Innate Divine Beast be shaken to death?

That Bad Cat is just pretending!

As expected, Bai Chen immediately returned to normal after Nuwa stopped.

As time passed, the space around the Ancestral Palace suddenly distorted, and the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang led the other Ancestral Witches through the void to join Bai Chen, Hou Tu, and the others.

The Ancestral Witches inquired about the situation from Houtu, then the Ancestral Witch Dijiang used the laws of space to tear apart the void and turned his gaze to Bai Chen, saying:

Let's go!

The Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang didn't have time to fly slowly with Bai Chen and Nuwa, wasting time.

And so Nuwa hitched a ride with Bai Chen, experiencing her first breakthrough into the void after becoming a Saint.

At the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace, Haotian was still immobilized by the magical powers and spells used by Bai Chen. As for why the Sage Hongjun did not intervene to rescue him?

This was the punishment that the sage Hongjun gave to Haotian, and an explanation to Bai Chen and even the Innate Divine Beast.

At this moment, many Innate Great God had arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace. They were either discussing the witch and demon races or the matter of the great bandits of the Primordial World Innate Great God.

This powerful figure boasted about how many traps he had set up in his dojo, enough to kill a half-step Quasi-Saint.

The great master then said that the restrictions of his dojo were invincible to anyone below the level of Quasi-Saint; touching them would surely result in death, ensuring that the thieves would never return.

Just as they were talking about this, Bai Chen and the others broke through the Void Realm and arrived.

Many of the Innate Great God cultivators whose dojos had been visited by Bai Chen were immediately stunned upon seeing Bai Chen.

Bai Chen, the great thief of the Primordial World, we prepared a trap for you, why did you come to listen to the sermon so early?

"Bai Chen, did you steal my dojo?"

"Bai Chen, you stole our sacred ground and still dare to come and listen to our teachings! How dare you!"

"..."

The victimized Innate Great God demanded an explanation from Bai Chen one by one.

They seemed ready to take drastic action if Bai Chen couldn't prove his innocence.

"What does the theft of your temple have to do with me, the great god? Why wouldn't I dare to come and listen to your teachings?"

"What, you're going to use force to frame me, this great god? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Although many of the Innate Great God present had higher cultivation levels than Bai Chen, Great God Bai Chen had brought bodyguards and wasn't afraid of these guys at all.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, Fuxi, who had disappeared without a trace since the incident of dividing the gourd, suddenly jumped out.

"Fellow Daoists, my sister Nuwa is unaware of what Bai Chen has done. Please do not hold a grudge against my sister Nuwa."

During this period, Fuxi did not return to Phoenix Perch Mountain, but instead visited friends elsewhere.

Because several of Fuxi's fellow Daoists' Daoist temples had been robbed, Fuxi was also aware of the Great Thief of the Primordial World.

Based on Fuxi's speculation, it's highly likely that Bai Chen and Zhunti Jieyin behind this.

To ensure Nuwa's safety, Fuxi quickly intervened to mediate, distancing himself from the relationship between Nuwa and Bai Chen.

"Sister, you should quickly sever ties with Bai Chen, that Primordial World bandit, to avoid being implicated by him."

While mediating the dispute, Fuxi did not forget to admonish Nuwa.

Nuwa didn't pay much attention to Fuxi's words; by now, Nuwa could easily guess the truth.

Taking advantage of a lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace, the Bad Cat Bai Chen stole the dojos of the Innate Great God, and not just one or two, but a whole group.

Nuwa regretted it!

If she had known Bai Chen would do such a scoundrel, she should have kept a close eye on this Bad Cat from the start and forced him to listen to the teachings with her, preventing him from having the opportunity to do bad things.

At this moment, Nuwa understood why Bai Chen had made so many moves this time when he listened to the Dao.

The reason for everything is to save one's life.

However, even though Nuwa knows about Bai Chen's bad deeds, she cannot abandon him now.

After all, I've known this person for so many years, and our friendship is undeniable.

Moreover, if I abandon this Bad Cat, the other party probably won't survive.

"My fellow Ancestral Witch, don't forget what you promised me."

Seeing that a major battle could break out at any moment, Bai Chen quickly reminded the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

"Fat Cat, don't worry, I, the Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, promised to protect you while you listen to the Dao, and I will naturally do so."

Xuanming flicked Bai Chen's forehead, and the other Ancestral Witch released their Law Power. Nuwa, not to be outdone, took out the Primordial Holy Sword of the Heavenly Dao.

The presence of the Twelve Ancestor Witches and Nuwa here caused many Innate Great God to feel uneasy.

After all, these Innate Great God are only half-step Quasi-Saint, and have not yet reached the Quasi-Saint level.
