Underworld is first formed, and Six Paths Reincarnation Disk is slowly rotating in the depths of the Blood Sea.
Instruments of Torture on Eighteen Levels of Hell is still trembling slightly, and Soul-Guiding Lamp on Yellow Springs Road has just lit up its first glimmer of light.
Houtu stood in front of Reincarnation Disk, with the lingering lingering feeling of Great Dao Merit around him not yet completely dissipated.
Her eyes swept across the Netherworld area that she had opened up with her own hands, then she raised her hand and made a gentle move.
Over Blood Sea, Xuande, Randeng and Minghe felt an irresistible force at the same time.
That's not killing or imprisoning, but the pulling of Reincarnation Law itself.
Gentle as water, yet everywhere.
The three of them offered no resistance.
The next moment, they were standing in front of Six Paths Reincarnation Disk and in front of Houtu.
Minghe stood firm and looked around.
The outline of Eighteen Levels of Hell is faintly visible in the distance.
Yellow Springs Road winds like a snake, Naihe Bridge spans Wangchuan River, and the Wangchuan water under the bridge is flowing slowly, and the faces of countless dead souls are reflected in the water.
This is Blood Sea, but it is no longer his Blood Sea.
Most of the Blood Sea's filth was purified by Reincarnation Law when Houtu transformed into reincarnation. Blood God Avatars also lost most of it. The remaining ones are wandering around the Edge of the Blood Sea in confusion, not knowing where to go.
He had run numerous Kalpa businesses, and was almost uprooted in this incident.
He turned his head and stared at Xuande with his dark red pupils, murderous intent surging through them.
Karmic Fire Red Lotus is still in the sleeve of Xuande.
It was his companion treasure, his biggest support for the Blood Sea, and an innate part of him. But at this moment, it was taken away by others, and even the Primordial Spirit brand was completely erased.
He gripped Yuantu Abi Twin Swords tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the exertion. The Wronged Souls on the sword sensed the owner's anger and let out a low whine.
But he didn't take action.
Not because he didn't dare, but because Houtu was standing next to him.
The Houtu at this moment is no longer the Ancestral Witch of Early Quasi-Sage, but the Lord of Reincarnation who has attained Great Dao Sage.
Not to mention him, even Di Jun and Tai Yi here would not dare to be presumptuous in front of a Great Dao Sage.
He forced down the surging blood energy and slowly sheathed his swords, but his dark red eyes were still staring at Xuande, like a dormant poisonous snake.
Xuande felt the killing intent.
Of course he knows what losing the accompanying treasure means to a Quasi-Saint.
It is the core support on the path of spiritual practice, the foundation of Severing the Corpse, and the help for enlightenment.
But he has no intention of returning Karmic Fire Red Lotus. Minghe is following the path of killing. Karmic Fire Red Lotus in his hands will only make Blood Sea more Wronged Souls and become more evil.
Houtu reincarnation is to find a home for the dead souls.
He stood calmly in front of Houtu, his eyes as clear as water, waiting for her to speak.
Houtu looked at the three people in front of him.
One is the Daoist friend who helped her give birth to Primordial Spirit and taught her the method of salvation.
One is the veteran Quasi-Saint, who although he has no close friendship, helps at critical moments.
One is Lord of the Blood Sea, who was affected by the aftermath of her reincarnation and suffered heavy losses.
The cause and effect of these three people and her have been entangled in this reincarnation change.
She was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Xuande Daoist brother."
Her voice is still as gentle as the pulse deep in the earth, but it has an added layer of solemnity unique to Sage.
"The poor Daoist body incarnates in reincarnation, Underworld is established at the beginning, and will be cherished forever.
You are Lord of the West, and you are also a guide for poor people.
Today, in the name of Lord of Reincarnation, I will name you Great Emperor Fengdu, in charge of the Underworld Yin-Yang order, and rule over all living beings in the underworld.
This bit is connected to Underworld Fortune and is protected by Earthly Dao. Are you willing to be sealed?"
Great Emperor Fengdu.
This name echoed in the netherworld, and even the water surface of the Wangchuan River trembled slightly.
This is not a false name, but Underworld's real power position second only to Lord of Reincarnation.
Great Emperor Fengdu is in charge of the Underworld Yin-Yang order, rules over all living beings in the underworld, is connected to Underworld Fortune, and is protected by Earthly Dao.
From this moment on, Fortune of Underworld has been inextricably linked with West.
This gift is Houtu's gratitude to Xuande, and it is also the most reliable ally she has found for Underworld.
Xuande didn't refuse.
"The poor man takes the order."
After his words fell, Earthly Dao Fortune emerged from Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, turning into a deep and thick light that sank into the center of his eyebrows.
That is Earthly Dao's recognition of his Great Emperor Fengdu identity, and it is also the fusion of Underworld Fortune and his own Merit.
Houtu nodded slightly and turned his eyes to Minghe.
"Minghe Fellow Daoist."
Minghe raised his head, the dark red pupils still had lingering evil thoughts, but it was more of a complex examination.
He had no friendship with Houtu. Blood Sea was purified by Reincarnation Disk and Blood God Avatars was mostly damaged. Of course, he felt unhappy.
But Houtu has proven to Great Dao Sage that he is not qualified to bargain with her, so he can only wait in silence to see what kind of explanation this Lord of Reincarnation will give.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation was born, Blood Sea was baptized by Reincarnation Law, and more than half of your Blood God Avatars was lost."
Houtu's voice did not deliberately soothe, but stated the facts calmly.
"Poverty will not let your damage be in vain.
The power of Eighteen Levels of Hell, I will give you 30% of it. Hell is not empty, the power of Indestructible, do you accept this compensation?"
Minghe's eyes narrowed slightly.
Eighteen Levels of Hell's 30% authority.
This means that he can mobilize part of the punishment power of hell, can have his own sphere of influence in hell, and can transform part of the tortured souls in hell Karmic Sin into his own cultivation.
Although this compensation cannot completely make up for Karmic Fire Red Lotus's losses, it gives him a brand new foothold.
Blood Sea is mostly gone, but hell is still there.
Blood God Avatars is mostly gone, but the authority of hell allows him to regain his strength.
More importantly, hell is not empty, authority Indestructible.
This compensation is tied to Reincarnation Law. As long as Six Paths of Reincarnation is still running, no one can take away the 30% of the rights that belong to him.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Okay. I accept it."
Houtu raised his hand, Earthly Dao Fortune surged again, and a deep ray of light sank into Minghe's eyebrows.
That is the mark of Eighteen Levels of Hell's 30% authority, and it is also an indivisible contract between him and Underworld.
Then, Randeng took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed to Houtu.
"Houtu Sage." His voice was still calm, but with a firmness that he had never heard before.
"Pindao wants to stay at Underworld."
Houtu did not answer immediately, but looked at him quietly and motioned for him to continue.
Randeng took Glazed Lamp out of his sleeve. The light danced slightly in the darkness, like a faint but Indestructible star.
"I have practiced Nirvana Dao for many years, and I always thought that death was the end.
It wasn't until this journey to save the souls of the dead that I finally understood.
Annihilation is not to let everything return to nothingness, but to allow Obsession and resentment to find peace.
Underworld is the destination of the dead souls, and also the path of poor Daoists.
Pindao wants to stay here and help those souls who have gone astray to put down Obsession and return to reincarnation.
If we can do this for a long time, it will be a good thing."
Houtu was silent for a moment.
Unlike Xuande and Minghe, there is no direct exchange of interests between Randeng and Underworld. He just wants to stay and do something.
This purity makes Houtu feel respected.
"Good." She said softly, "There is a place for you among Underworld."
Randeng bowed again, then stepped aside.
His Glazed Lamp beat slightly in the darkness of the netherworld, echoing the light of Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.
From now on, this lamp will illuminate the return path of countless dead souls.
At this moment, Earthly Dao Fortune surged again.
Three deep rays of light surged out from Six Paths Reincarnation Disk at the same time and submerged into the bodies of Xuande, Minghe and Randeng respectively.
Different from the golden light of Heavenly Dao Merit, Earthly Dao Fortune is thicker and more restrained, like the pulsation deep in the earth, unobtrusive but endless.
The changes in Xuande's body are the most subtle.
His Good Corpse and Obsession have long been chopped off, but only Evil Corpse remains unresolved.
It's not that he can't kill it, but that he is waiting for an opportunity.
Waiting for an opportunity that will allow him to step into Late Quasi-Sage in the strongest possible posture.
At this moment, Earthly Dao Fortune entered the body and merged with his own Merit Golden Light. His Human Dao Fortune also climbed up at the same time.
Three forces, Heavenly Dao Merit, Earthly Dao, Fortune, and Human Dao Fortune, converged in his body, forming a delicate balance.
That's it now.
He closed his eyes and his mind sank into the depths of Sea of Consciousness. There, a figure exactly like him stood quietly, surrounded by a faint dark aura.
That's his Evil Corpse.
He raised his hand, Twelve-Petal Destruction Black Lotus slowly bloomed in Sea of Consciousness, and black light enveloped Evil Corpse.
The figure did not struggle, but looked at him quietly, then turned into a wisp of black smoke and merged into Destruction Black Lotus.
Evil Corpse, cut.
All three corpses were killed, Late Quasi-Sage. His aura suddenly surged at this moment, Merit Golden Light, Destruction Black Lotus, World-Purifying White Lotus Three Lotuses sounded in unison.
It was as if they were celebrating that their owners had finally taken this most critical step.
Minghe Blood surged all over his body.
He had been trapped in the bottleneck of the quasi-sage stage for an unknown amount of time, but now that the authority of the underworld was added to his body and the earthly energy entered his body, the indestructible bottleneck finally began to loosen.
The Blood Sea Origin Essence accumulated by countless Kalpa was reunited under the guidance of Fortune, and his cultivation level broke through from Mid-Quasi-Saint to Late Quasi-Sage.
Although the loss of Karmic Fire Red Lotus made him heartbroken.
But with Late Quasi-Sage's realm and the blessing of Eighteen Levels of Hell's 30% authority, from now on he is not only Lord of the Blood Sea, but also one of Underworld's most powerful figures.
Randeng's breakthrough was the quietest.
He is originally Early Quasi-Sage, but he has lost countless Kalpas trapped in this realm.
His qualifications are not top-notch, Numinous Treasure is not top-notch, but he has a rock-solid Dao heart.
Glazed Lamp beat slightly in his palm, and the light of death illuminated Yellow Springs Road at his feet.
He broke through to Mid-Quasi-Saint, without any grand momentum or huge waves of blood.
There is only one light, one person and one way.
The three of them were blessed by Earthly Dao Fortune at the same time and broke through at the same time.
Six Paths Reincarnation Disk rotates slowly, as if it is drawing the final footnote to this mysterious intersection of cause and effect.
After that Minghe, Randeng stayed at Underworld.
Xuande left Evil Corpse in Underworld and took charge of Great Emperor Fengdu's daily affairs.
Evil Corpse is connected with him and sits in the Netherworld to sort out the order of Yin-Yang, which saves him the trouble of traveling back and forth.
He was about to tell Houtu that he was leaving, when Houtu suddenly called out to him.
"Xuande Daoist brother,"
Houtu's voice is still gentle, but it has a rare hint of urgency.
"Pindao will go out with you.
After reincarnation, Pindao saw the future of the Witch Clan. The catastrophe was not over yet. Pindao had to go back to the Pangu Hall to discuss some matters with his brothers face to face."
Xuande nodded slightly when he heard this and said nothing more.
The two drove up Escape Light together and flew from the depths of Underworld toward the sky above Blood Sea.
Randeng stayed behind Underworld, and Minghe also retreated to the depths of hell to consolidate his cultivation after gaining power.
One after another, the two passed through the layers of undercurrents of the Blood Sea, past Ghost Gate, past Yellow Springs Road, and past the lonely Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River.
The sky of the Edge of the Blood Sea is still dark, but the light of Six Paths Reincarnation Disk has illuminated this eternal night with a ray of light.
Houtu's mood is not relaxed.
The power brought by the enlightenment was real, but at the same time, the pictures she saw.
Gonggong knocked down Buzhou Mountain, Heavenly River poured out, and Witch Clan fell in Calamity Kalpa, recurring in my mind.
From the moment she walked out of that door, she kept thinking: Since these scenes have not happened yet, there is still room for change.
As long as she can return to her clan and tell her brothers to restrain their anger and avoid that disaster, Witch Clan may not be able to find a different path.
She is Sage, Lord of Reincarnation, and a descendant of Pangu. She should be able to change that outcome.
Finally, Edge of the Blood Sea arrived.
The two of them stepped out of the Blood Sea range. The dark red filthy seawater was no longer under their feet, but the long-lost Primordial Wilderness land.
The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, shining on Houtu's gentle and determined face.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and was about to go to Buzhou Mountain
At this moment, the world suddenly became quiet.
The wind stopped and the clouds stopped.
Even the never-ending sound of waves from the Edge of the Blood Sea has disappeared.
An invisible and formless pressure, yet greater than any will, fell from Nine Heavens.
It is not overbearing or turbulent, but it makes the entire space around Houtu and Xuande seem to have solidified.
That is Heavenly Dao, which is Heavenly Dao itself that represents the Primordial Wilderness execution rules since Hongjun Union with the Dao.
It is not fierce or violent, it just comes in an unquestionable manner.
Then, a voice sounded in their ears.
The sound was not loud, but it penetrated everything, as if it sounded directly in the deepest part of Primordial Spirit.
Calm, indifferent, and emotionless, yet it contains endless majesty.
"Houtu, you have now attained enlightenment and are qualified for reincarnation. You will be Underworld forever. No one other than Immeasurable Tribulation is allowed to step into Primordial Wilderness."
Houtu's body stiffened slightly. Of course she knew this rule, Great Dao Sage shouldn't stay Primordial Wilderness for a long time.
After Nuwa became enlightened, he went to Chaos to open Wa Huang Palace. He only occasionally came back to Primordial Wilderness to see Human Race.
After she reincarnated, she was no longer Ancestral Witch, but Great Dao Sage, and Lord of Reincarnation.
She should stay in Underworld to guard the Netherworld.
But she can't.
She just testified and saw the ending of Witch-Demon Tribulation.
Her brothers are still working hard in the Pangu Hall, completely unaware that a catastrophe is approaching.
She must go back and tell them that they must restrain their temper and find a way out for the Witch Clan.
She is Houtu of the Witch Clan, a descendant of Pangu, and the youngest sister of Twelve Ancestral Witches.
She couldn't sit back and watch them go to destruction.
"I'm not convinced." Houtu's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable stubbornness.
She raised her head, her eyes penetrated the clouds, and looked directly at the invisible will.
"I have only been preaching for a few days. I just want to go back to the Pangu Hall to meet with my brothers, explain a few words and then I will return to Underworld.
Never interfere with the execution of Primordial Wilderness, and never disrupt the order of Heavenly Dao.
Why are you not allowed to stay even for a moment?"
The will did not answer.
It's not disdain, it's not indifference, it's just that there is no room for negotiation.
Heavenly Dao's rules are not for negotiation, but for compliance.
Great Dao Sage is not suitable for long-term residence Primordial Wilderness This rule treats everyone equally, whether it is Nuwa or Houtu, whether it is Creation Dao or Reincarnation Dao.
Now that I have become Great Dao Sage, I must leave this land.
This is the rule, no exceptions.
