Within the Pangu Hall, the veins on Blood-Jade Giant Pillar are still slowly squirming, just like the aftertaste of Pangu's Heart is still beating.
The barrier that isolates Tianji has completely separated this place from Primordial Wilderness, and no existence outside the hall can sense what is happening inside the hall.
Houtu's eyes carrying Earthly Dao Will swept across the faces of the eleven brothers, took a deep breath, and said:
"Brothers, my little sister invites Daoist Xuande into the palace today, and invites you all to gather here to discuss important matters concerning Witch Clan's survival."
Her voice echoed in the empty hall, and every word weighed heavily on the hearts of Ancestral Witch.
"The little sister's body is now trapped in Underworld and cannot return to Primordial Wilderness."
Houtu's voice deepened, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "On that day, the little sister swore to Great Dao to establish Six Paths of Reincarnation, and Great Dao lowered Merit to help the little sister obtain Great Dao Sage.
However, Heavenly Dao did not allow Earthly Dao to dominate. When the younger sister wanted to return to Primordial Wilderness, Ancestor Hongjun's Heavenly Dao will stopped her.
If the younger sister hadn't taken a step back and used Origin Essence's essence and blood to create this clone, I'm afraid the main body would have been in direct conflict with Heavenly Dao's will."
Dijiang's face darkened, and the pressure of Ancestral Witch's leader filled the hall. "Old Man Hongjun is going too far!"
"Brother, please calm down." Houtu shook his head, "This matter is not all bad.
When the younger sister and Heavenly Dao faced off, Heavenly Dao took a step back and allowed the younger sister to return to Primordial Wilderness as a clone.
This means that Heavenly Dao is also afraid of Earthly Dao and does not dare to push it too far. But..." She paused, and a complicated light flashed in her eyes.
"The main body needs to suppress Six Paths of Reincarnation forever. Unless one day Earthly Dao can be parallel to Heavenly Dao, or even surpass Heavenly Dao, the little sister's main body can truly break away from the bondage and return to Primordial Wilderness."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Eleven Ancestral Witches was silent.
Heavenly Dao is tied with Earthly Dao, which is almost impossible.
Heavenly Dao has suppressed Primordial Wilderness since Pangu Creation of Heaven and Earth, and has gone through countless Kalpas, and it has long been ingrained.
And Earthly Dao is just a newborn baby. How easy is it to grow up to the point where it can compete with Heavenly Dao?
Shebishi was silent for a moment, with a rare hint of worry on his face that always had a cold air. "Little sister, you have paid too much for Primordial Wilderness and Witch Clan."
"Second brother, you don't have to be like this." Houtu smiled, but there was a bit of bitterness in the smile, "My little sister never regrets it.
If Six Paths of Reincarnation had not been established, my little sister would still be the Ancestral Witch who would not have been able to give birth to Primordial Spirit, let alone become a saint.
This is my little sister's way, and this is my little sister's fate."
The atmosphere in the palace became increasingly heavy.
Houtu took a deep breath, her expression became more solemn than ever before, her eyes swept across the faces of the eleven brothers one by one, her voice was very low, as if she would be eavesdropped by some invisible force the next moment:
"Brothers, what my little sister is going to say next is related to the survival or death of the Witch Clan. Please take it to heart, brothers."
She raised her right hand, and a golden divine pattern appeared in the palm of her hand, which was the mark formed by the power of Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The divine pattern slowly spread and turned into a golden light curtain as thin as cicada wings, covering Twelve Ancestral Witches and Xuande.
This is a barrier set up by Earthly Dao's power, and cannot be spied on by any Heavenly Dao means.
Zhujiuyin's pupils shrank. He took charge of Way of Time and vaguely felt the profound meaning of Houtu's actions. He said in a deep voice, "Little sister, what did you see?"
Houtu closed her eyes, as if recalling that scene, her voice trembled slightly:
"When little sister attained enlightenment, Primordial Spirit and Six Paths of Reincarnation merged. At that moment, little sister saw... saw a corner of River of Time."
"Among the lichs, there must be a real Calamity Kalpa." Her voice was so low that it was almost hoarse, "My little sister saw the sky filled with blood, and saw Witch Clan's sons falling in a pool of blood. She saw..."
She stopped suddenly, her face as pale as paper.
I can't say any more.
That was a glimpse of the future she saw when she was preaching, and the details still make her spine shiver when she thinks about it.
She saw Gonggong angered Buzhou Mountain, Heavenly Pillar collapsed, and Heavenly River poured back; she saw Witch Clan Twelve Ancestral Witches withered away, and Witch Tribe that once spread all over Primordial Wilderness was almost extinct;
She saw Dijun and Taiyi fall, Demon Clan Heavenly Court collapse...
But she couldn't say.
Heavenly Dao is everywhere, even if Pangu Hall is isolated from the secrets, she cannot tell these details to her mouth.
If you say it, the secret of heaven will be triggered, and then Heavenly Dao will inevitably send down a more powerful correction force, crushing all existences that try to change destiny.
"My little sister saw Witch Clan... and met a terrible end." In the end, she only said these four words.
Pangu Hall fell into a deathly silence.
Eleven Ancestral Witches All expressions changed dramatically.
They know that Houtu will not lie to them, let alone be alarmist about this kind of thing.
Houtu is now Great Dao Sage, and her vision and perception far exceed those of Quasi-Saint. The word "extremely miserable" she said must be so miserable that even a Sage would have lingering fears.
Xuande stood beside Houtu, and he understood what he said.
Of course he knows what will happen to the Witch Clan.
Almost all Twelve Ancestral Witches died, Gonggong touched the mountain, Zhurong died, Houtu transformed into Six Paths of Reincarnation, Dijiang was beheaded, and Zhujiuyin withered... That was the most tragic final chapter of Witch-Demon Tribulation, a tragedy that made Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth tremble.
He suddenly understood why Houtu had such an expression in the first place.
It was a feeling of powerlessness, knowing the outcome but being unable to speak. It was a kind of despair, watching the people go to the abyss but not knowing how to recover.
Houtu bears the fate of the entire Witch Clan, but can only show it as a clone. The real body is locked in Underworld, unable to recover.
"Little sister," Dijiang spoke slowly, with a hoarse voice, "Is there a way to crack it?"
Houtu raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. "My little sister asked all brothers to come here, that's why. Although my little sister has seen that corner of the future, she also sees that the destiny is not unchangeable."
She looked at her eleven brothers and said word by word, "Brothers, please give your essence, blood and true Spiritual Energy information to my little sister."
As soon as these words came out, everyone Ancestral Witch was startled.
Essence and blood are the Origin Essence of Ancestral Witch, and contain the most essential power and imprint of a Ancestral Witch.
The true Spiritual Energy breath is equivalent to the mark of existence. If it falls into the hands of a caring person, it can even be used to curse the Ancestral Witch body.
These two things are the core secrets of Ancestral Witch and cannot be revealed to others easily.
However, after only a moment's hesitation, Dijiang was the first to raise his hand.
He pressed his right palm on his heart, and a ball of dark golden blood essence the size of a fist flew out from his chest. Mysterious gray divine patterns were faintly visible in the blood essence, which were the embodiment of Way of Space controlled by Ancestor Witch Dijiang.
At the same time, a gray aura flew out from the center of Dijiang's eyebrows, blending with the essence and blood.
"Brother?"
"If your sister wants it, take it." Dijiang waved his hand and directly pushed the essence, blood and true Spiritual Energy information to Houtu.
"Don't say that you have become a saint. Even if you are still the little girl without Form Transformation, my elder brother will give it to you."
Houtu's eyes were slightly red, and his hands trembled as he took the essence, blood and breath of Dijiang.
Goumang smiled and reached into his chest with his right hand. A ball of green blood filled with endless vitality flew out, with dots of green brilliance lingering on it.
He handed the essence, blood and true Spiritual Energy information to his younger sister. "Brother is right, when will we not give you what you want?"
Rushou said nothing, but there was already a ball of golden-white essence and blood in the palm of his hand, with sharp edges and sharp killing intent. He threw it directly to Houtu: "Take it."
Gonggong simply flicked the blue blood essence and blood directly into Houtu's arms. "Just take it, little sister, don't say anything."
Zhurong laughed loudly, red blood essence flew out from his fingertips, flames rose from it, and the heat was scorching. "It's just blood essence, why don't you give it up? Take it!"
Xuanming had a stern look on her face, but her gesture of handing out the dark black essence and blood was gentler than anyone else's. She didn't say anything, she just looked at Houtu with her dark eyes.
Tianwu, Xizi, Shebishi, Qiangliang, Zhujiuyin... One after another, ancestor Witch General handed out his essence and blood and true Spiritual Energy. No one said a word, and everyone had absolute trust in their eyes.
Houtu took them one by one, his hands were shaking.
Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore, and tears fell from her eyes, dripping onto the blood in her palms, making a slight sizzling sound.
There are more than ten groups of Ancestral Witch Blood Essence. Each group contains the power and mark of one Ancestral Witch and the most Origin Essence. It is something more precious than any treasure.
The eleven brothers didn't ask a single question and left everything to her.
"Brothers..." Houtu's voice was choked with sobs.
"Why are you crying?" Dijiang's voice rarely softened, "You are my Witch Clan's only Sage, and also the youngest sister among the twelve of us.
We never ask why you do what you want to do, and we never doubt it.
Tell me, are these enough? If not, you can take this life away."
"That's enough." Houtu wiped away tears and nodded heavily, "That's enough."
She took a deep breath, regained her Great Dao Sage bearing, and carefully put away the eleven balls of Ancestral Witch Blood Essence and true Spiritual Energy.
She said in a deep voice, "My little sister wants to hide the essence, blood and true Spiritual Energy brothers' essence into the deepest part of Underworld Six Paths of Reincarnation."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Six Paths of Reincarnation, that is the permanent residence of Houtu. Hiding the essence, blood and true Spiritual Energy information there is indeed the safest place in the world.
Although Heavenly Dao is tyrannical, it cannot easily penetrate Six Paths of Reincarnation, which is the core of Earthly Dao and the home ground of Houtu.
If there is any accident, the power of Earthly Dao is enough to cover up all traces.
"My little sister wants to..." Zhujiuyin, as time Ancestral Witch, has deeper thoughts than any other brother. At this moment, he finally guessed part of Houtu's intentions.
Houtu nodded with a firm voice. "There must be a battle between lichs, it is inevitable.
The future that little sister saw was too tragic, and she could not express it clearly here.
But if that day comes, the essence, blood and true Spiritual Energy of our brothers may be Witch Clan's last chance of survival."
She paused and then added, "The little girl will do this with Underworld and Power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Even if it is Heavenly Dao, it will be difficult to detect. It's just..."
"Just what?" Dijiang asked.
"It's just this blood essence. Once the little sister hides in the depths of Six Paths of Reincarnation, it will be equivalent to erasing part of the brothers' existence from Heavenly Dao's perception range.
If Calamity Kalpa really comes in the future, my brothers may be less entangled with Heavenly Dao Karmic Sin, but similarly, once this blood essence is used, my brothers' cultivation will also be affected to a certain extent."
Houtu explained.
"Don't worry." Zhurong waved his hand, "Just do it."
Dijiang also nodded. "There are twelve of us, we live and die together. Little sister, just go ahead and do it."
Houtu said no more, sat cross-legged and formed a mudra with his hands.
At that moment, a bright golden light bloomed from her body.
That light is the embodiment of the power of Earthly Dao. The light is warm and thick, like the palm of Mother Earth. It is a sign that the power of Six Paths of Reincarnation reaches Pangu Hall across space.
Pangu Hall was originally a holy place that was completely isolated from the inside and outside, but Houtu's method was different.
As Earthly Dao Sage, it is within her authority to communicate with the earth.
Pangu Hall was transformed from Pangu's Heart and is connected to the roots of the earth, and the will of Houtu is following this root to extradite the power of Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The golden light spread around her with her as the center, turning into chains of laws, intertwining into a huge array.
In the center of the array is a slowly rotating golden wheel of light.
That is the epitome of Six Paths of Reincarnation, which carries the cycle of life and death of all living things in the world.
Xuande, with his Late Quasi-Sage cultivation and Numinous Treasure induction, can clearly sense that it is the extremely pure Earthly Dao Reincarnation Power.
Now, the power of the Six Paths has been led to the Pangu Hall by Houtu in this way. Xuande secretly lamented Houtu's determination in his heart.
What an exquisite arrangement it is to hide Ancestral Witch Blood Essence in the depths of reincarnation.
Although Heavenly Dao is strong, it cannot penetrate the core of Underworld.
Earthly Dao and Heavenly Dao are originally existences at the same level. Houtu uses the power of Earthly Dao to cover up the secret of heaven. Even if Hongjun comes in person, he cannot deduce everything that happened here.
The seals between Houtu's hands were getting faster and faster. She surrounded her body with eleven balls of Ancestral Witch Blood Essence and true Spiritual Energy, letting them receive the protection of the six paths in this golden sea of light.
She recited some kind of ancient mantra in a low voice. The mantra was obscure and heavy, like the echo of whispers deep in the earth, or the eternal sound of reincarnation.
Ancestral Witch's blood essence began to sink slowly under the guidance of her power.
It was not sinking into the ground in the ordinary sense, but sinking into another dimension, crossing the barriers of space and crossing the boundaries of life, death and reincarnation.
Entering the deepest part of Six Paths of Reincarnation, a realm that only Houtu can touch.
There, Heavenly Dao's will was isolated to the greatest extent, and the secret of heaven was most closely shielded.
That is a more hidden place than Pangu Hall, and only Earthly Dao Sage can reach it.
Twelve Ancestral Witches's true spirit mark will sleep here, waiting for one day to become the key to reversing destiny at a moment that even Heavenly Dao cannot predict.
The blood essence and true Spiritual Energy information were wrapped up by Six Paths of Reincarnation restrictions one after another. Houtu used the power of Sage to lay down a total of 365 restrictions, which coincided with the number of Zhou Tian.
Each restriction is connected to Earthly Dao's Fortune, and each restriction draws on the endless power of Earth Vein deep in the earth.
Even if Underworld is breached, these restrictions are enough to last for several Kalpa.
Unless someone masters both the power of the tunnel and the saint's blood of Hou Tu himself, there is absolutely no possibility of cracking it.
When all the dust settled, the golden light in the Pangu Hall gradually dissipated, Houtu exhaled a deep breath, and his face was as pale as paper.
She used the differentiated body of Late Quasi-Sage to forcefully extradite Reincarnation Power, which cost a lot of money.
Gonggong stepped forward and held her steady, his eyes filled with distress and worry.
"My sister is fine." Houtu waved his hand and smiled weakly, "I just spent some energy, it's okay."
Dijiang was silent for a moment and then asked, "Little sister, what are your plans next?"
