He slowly closed his eyes, and his mind became clear. Today's Primordial World, in addition to Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Emperor Ye, has given birth to a terrifying existence that far exceeds the level of Saint.

That being was none other than Empress Houtu, who used to be in charge of the tunnels and the underworld.

Now she has become the deepest fear in the hearts of countless powerful people.

Even Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao has never shown a coercion comparable to today's Houtu.

In the eyes of everyone, she had already surpassed the Six Saints and entered an unprecedented situation.

And the reason why she was able to visit This Realm seems to be all because of the storyteller Su Yang, judging from her words.

In an instant, the name "Su Yang" once again shocked the three realms and was branded into the soul of every strong man.

Because this person may hold the only key to the holy realm.

The Western Chaos Dojo is silent.

Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin simultaneously sensed the terrifying aura that diffused from the depths of the netherworld.

Is this Houtu's sermon?

But even if he attains enlightenment, he shouldn't have such overwhelming power.

How did she achieve the holy status?

As Heavenly Dao Sage, they could easily capture the fluctuations of heaven and detect the aura of the earth.

But at this moment, Houtu has neither traces of heaven nor power of earth flowing on his body.

Obviously, her path is completely different from the existing rules of Primordial World.

The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time. Zhunti finally spoke, "It seems that Houtu is beyond our ability to deduce and plan."

"No need to worry too much." Jieyin responded calmly, "Spiritual Stone Monkey Sun Wukong caused trouble in the underworld before, and the cause and effect is over. From now on, there will be no involvement between the underworld and the West."

Looking at Jieyin's calm appearance, Zhunti лишь sighed softly, "Are you really not afraid that one day Houtu will break through my Western Mountain Gate?"

After saying this, Jieyin's eyebrows moved slightly, and finally he frowned.

"Don't forget, she was once one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, with a nature as fierce as fire. If she really leads the attack, how should we, the West, respond?"

Listening to what Daoist Zhunti said, Daoist Jieyin sighed softly and said in a low tone, "The matter has come to this, even if I am worried, there is no way to change it."

"Empress Houtu has reached the same level as our generation, and its power is terrifying."

"The aura she exudes is almost comparable to that of Desolate Heavenly Emperor, or even Heavenly Emperor Ye, who first appeared in the world back then. The difference is only a millimeter."

Daoist Jieyin breathed in slowly, his eyes fell on Zhunti, and continued, "Now we can only wait and see what happens. But brother, don't worry too much, Empress Houtu should not step into Western Pure Land."

"The layout of our Buddhist sect has been disrupted by her. The cause and effect has long been settled, and we are no longer involved."

He looked at the figure in the distance and said in a calm voice, "Although she disrespects the way of heaven, she will not rush westward to raise an army to punish her."

"I hope so." Zhunti closed his eyes slightly, with a hint of exhaustion in his tone.

Now that both of them have reached the peak of Heavenly Dao Sage, their cultivation is stagnant and it is difficult to move forward.

Because of this, they feel powerless. The Houtu road is still climbing, and they have reached the end.

If one day she really comes to the West, all they can do may be to bow their heads and admit their mistake. After all, her power is now superior to theirs.

Earthly Immortal Realm Qingshan City In an inn.

Su Yang looked at the imposing Empress Houtu in front of him, with a trace of surprise and confusion on his face.

It is undeniable that her appearance is the best among Myriad Worlds. Even if Nuwa is slightly better than Nuwa due to her ethereal appearance, it is only a slight difference.

The appearance of Houtu is actually at the top of the list with Nuwa, and Ruthless Great Emperor is just like that.

However, hidden under such peerless appearance is the strong soul of one of the Witch Clan Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Every time she strikes, she is not as gentle as a woman, but as thunderous as Wrathful Vajra.

Su Yang glanced at me quietly and thought to herself, "I hope she can't understand what I'm thinking, otherwise I will be wiped out with one punch."

Then he took a deep breath, looked around at the many strong men, and slowly said, "Everyone, Empress Houtu has just broken through. It will take time to solidify the foundation."

"That's the end of today's story."

Su Yang raised his eyes and scanned the crowd, his tone was calm, but it carried unquestionable weight. Although the listeners were reluctant to leave, no one dared to say a word. They had already noticed that the aura exuding from this storyteller was unfathomable, as if he was standing in the clouds and looking down on all living beings.

Everyone stood up one after another and said goodbye. The streets gradually became empty and the lights were dim. Those powerful people who had once thought about it had no choice but to look away. They saw clearly that Su Yang's strength was not inferior to them, and even faintly superior to them. Taking action rashly would not only attract the wrath of Empress Houtu, but also put themselves in danger.

So, giving in became the only option. Some people prayed secretly, hoping to form a good relationship with Su Yang in the future. But as soon as the thought came up, they quietly suppressed it. They knew that this person was not a person who lavished favors indiscriminately. There were too many ungrateful people among Primordial World, and Su Yang would not make the same mistake as the farmer. He would only help those who would not bite back in the future.

After the crowd dispersed, there were still a few figures left in the inn.

Sect Master Tongtian and Empress Nuwa were sitting still, which was expected. What really made Su Yang look at them was the other four figures who were still sitting upright.

Daoist Lu Ya, the former Golden Crow Prince, once hidden in the depths of Demon Court; Zhenyuanzi, Ancestor of Earthly Immortals, Wuzhuang Temple palmed Qiankun people; Kunpeng, in the past Demon Master, vertical and horizontal North Sea, full of tricks; there is also Ancestor Minghe, entrenched in the Blood Sea, known as immortal.

These few are all top-notch existences of Primordial World.

Su Yang's brows moved slightly. It's understandable that Lu Ya and Zhenyuanzi have been secretly spying on them for a long time. But Kunpeng and Minghe... actually appeared here?

Doubts arose in his heart. If these people really want to listen to the book, why do they need to come in person? With a wave of their hands, they can create an illusion, complete with sound and shadow, as if they were there in person. They traveled thousands of miles to Qingshan City just to sit in this ordinary inn?

There must be a reason for this.

Su Yang was sitting in the Qingshan City inn. There was a storm outside the door, and strong men from all over the world gathered quietly. They crossed thousands of mountains and rivers just to listen to this man's words.

"Mister Su, is there really no new Path to Sainthood left in this world?"

Daoist Lu Ya spoke in a low tone, staring at Su Yang, his breath trembling slightly. He took a deep breath, stood up and saluted, his posture was extremely respectful.

Su Yang raised his eyes slightly and said quietly, "When Primordial World first opened, Hongjun once clearly stated in the Zixiao Palace that there are only three ways to become a saint."

"First, use Primordial Violet Qi and Immeasurable Merit to walk in harmony with the way of heaven and ascend to the holy throne of heaven."

"Second, cut off the three corpses, merge the spirits into one, and create an indestructible body with the three corpses."

"The third one is Breaking Laws by Force, following the example of Pangu, using his own Great Divine Power to reverse the path and step out of the Holy Realm of Chaos."

He turned his eyes to Lu Ya and continued, "These things have been spread throughout Myriad Worlds. Even if you have never been to the Zixiao Palace in person, you should know something about it from others."

"Since you already know the path, why do you ask me?"

Lu Ya looked gloomy and responded in a low voice, "Those three roads are like a chasm in the sky to me. Primordial Violet Qi has already belonged to it, and the method of the three corpses needs to be basically consistent. As for Dao Proving by Force... it is beyond my reach."

"Mister Su If you have any mercy, please give me some advice."

"If he obtains the holy status in the future, he will surely live up to today's grace."

Su Yang was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly. "I really can't help."

"There is no fourth way to sanctification in me, Daoist Lord Lu Ya, don't be obsessed with it."

"If you don't believe it, I would like to swear to use the way of heaven as a guide and Inner Demon as proof: If there is a hidden method of becoming a saint and I don't tell you, I, Su Yang, will never make half a step forward in my cultivation in this life!"

After the oath was settled, the whole hall was silent. Lu Ya looked at Su Yang for a long time, finally sighed and turned around to leave.
