He did not refuse, but kept the phantoms of Communication Token and Reincarnation Disk closely linked to his thoughts, then raised his head and looked at Houtu calmly.
"Pindao set out immediately to get Witch Clan Erlang and Ancestral Witch's clone Jieyin into Underworld as soon as possible.
During this period, I also hope that fellow Daoists will use Reincarnation Power to open up a spiritual realm as the residence of the Witch Clan in Underworld.
That station needs to be closely connected with the Underworld divisions, but cannot directly conflict with Reincarnation Law. It is best to be a separate small world independent of Six Paths of Reincarnation."
Houtu nodded. "Leave this matter to my little sister. Fellow Daoist, go early and come back early. Be careful on the road."
Xuande said no more, nodded, and Merit Golden Light all over his body lit up again, and his figure turned into light from the depths of Underworld, heading straight for the border of the netherworld.
The moment he crossed the border of Yin-Yang, Xuande felt that the law of Earthly Dao behind him was gradually fading away, while the law of Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao enveloped his whole body again.
He sensed those two things.
Great Emperor Fengdu's Token and Six Paths Reincarnation Disk ghost.
The thoughts in my mind turn over and over again.
Houtu Witch Clan Sage really did everything that could be done.
The main body suppresses reincarnation, the avatar transforms into essence and blood, and the authority is given to the Witch Clan.
She gave up everything she could and protected everything she could protect.
The fate of the entire Witch Clan rested on her shoulders alone, and she supported it silently as Great Dao Sage, never showing any vulnerability in front of her brothers.
Such a woman deserves all his help.
Xuande Suppressed his emotions, mana surged throughout his body, and the golden lotus shadow bloomed again under his feet.
His body turned into a golden stream of light, crossing the sky at the fastest speed and flying in the direction of Buzhou Mountain.
Primordial Wilderness The earth flew by quickly under his feet. Viewed from a high altitude, the dragon veins were winding like giant dragons, and the mountains, rivers and land were like a majestic and boundless picture.
Xuande has no intention of admiring it, but just spreads out Divine Sense to guard against possible accidents.
After all, he Present Body carries two treasures.
Great Emperor Fengdu's Token is just that. If the shadow of Six Paths Reincarnation Disk is perceived by someone with care, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Fortunately, Buzhou Mountain is not far from the entrance to the netherworld of Underworld.
Not long after, the huge Heavenly Pillar that Tongtian penetrated the ground appeared in the field of vision again.
Xuande narrowed his eyes slightly.
Buzhou Mountain, this is the backbone of Primordial Wilderness, which is Heavenly Pillar transformed from Pangu's Spine.
It is also the base camp of the witch clan, where the twelve ancestral witches have guarded for generations.
He just left here in the morning, and now he has returned in just a few hours. If Witch Clan son-in-law on duty at Buzhou Mountain saw him, he would probably feel strange.
He activated the Reincarnation Disk phantom in his sleeve, and a layer of extremely light golden brilliance overflowed from the plate, completely wrapping his breath.
That is the combination of Houtu's Sage power and Six Paths of Reincarnation Origin Essence, which has the power to shield Heavenly Dao from prying eyes.
Under the cover of Reincarnation Disk's phantom, Xuande's aura completely disappeared from Primordial Wilderness's perception of heaven and earth, but it did not affect his own flight.
Xuande turned into a faint light and shadow, quietly approached Buzhou Mountain, and lowered its figure outside the Pangu Hall.
He didn't go through the main entrance.
There are too many guards at the Witch Clan outside the Pangu Hall. If someone sees him visiting repeatedly in a short period of time, it will inevitably alert the spies planted by the Demon Clan.
He stood at a hidden position on the side of the Pangu Hall, using his finger as a pen, he drew a series of spiritual lines in the void.
These spiritual patterns are the communication methods passed to him by Houtu. They can penetrate the outer formation restrictions of the Pangu Hall and deliver messages directly into the palace without alerting any outsiders.
The spirit pattern disappeared into the palace wall, and Xuande waited quietly.
In just a few breaths, an inconspicuous small door on the side of the Pangu Hall opened silently, and the rough and resolute face of Dijiang poked out. The moment he saw Xuande, he frowned.
"Fellow Daoist? Why are you-"
"We have something important to discuss." Xuande interrupted him, speaking in a low voice, "Speak in the palace."
Dijiang Seeing his solemn expression, he stopped asking any more questions and stepped sideways to get out of the way. Xuande ducked into the palace, and the palace door closed silently behind him.
Within the Pangu Hall, none of the remaining ten Ancestral Witch were present.
Xuande took a brief look and understood that the aftermath of Houtu's cloned essence and blood has not yet settled. Ancestral Witch and others are probably discussing which Greater Witch should give the essence and blood to be refined before they have time to disperse.
At this moment, seeing Xuande go and come back, everyone looked surprised.
"Why are fellow Daoists back again?" Gonggong scratched the back of his head and asked angrily, "Did something happen on the road?"
Xuande shook his head and said, "I just went to Underworld and saw the true form of fellow Daoist Houtu."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all Ancestral Witchs suddenly lit up.
"How is my little sister?" Xuanming asked hurriedly, with unconcealed worry in his voice.
She had just watched the clone being refined with her own eyes. Although she knew that the younger sister's body was fine, she still couldn't feel at ease.
"Everything is well with fellow Daoist Houtu. Her body has opened up a pure land in the depths of Six Paths of Reincarnation, and is building the foundation of Earthly Dao. Her cultivation is steadily improving, and Fortune of Underworld is also growing stronger."
Xuande replied with a calm and firm tone, "Pindao came back this time just for the entrustment of fellow Daoist Houtu."
His sleeves shook slightly, and the Great Emperor Fengdu's Token appeared in his palm, and then the miniature version of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk appeared next to Great Emperor Fengdu's Token.
The two treasures exude completely different atmospheres.
Great Emperor Fengdu's Token is dark and cold, carrying Underworld the power of authority;
The phantom of Reincarnation Disk is golden, containing the power of Sage of Houtu.
The two complement each other, making the interior of the Pangu Hall half dark and half golden.
"What a strong little girl scent!" Shebishi blurted out.
Xuande didn't say much. He gently squeezed the magic formula with his left hand and injected the magic power into Six Paths Reincarnation Disk's shadow.
The six light wheels in the disk slowly rotated, and a golden light shot out from the center of the disk, condensing into a virtual shadow in the mid-air of the Pangu Hall.
It is Houtu. Although it is just a shadow, the will revealed in those golden eyes is closely connected with everyone present.
"Little sister!"
Ancestral Witch people shouted out one after another.
The shadow of Houtu smiled slightly, and the voice came out through the shadow of Reincarnation Disk, with a bit of Sage's ethereal and aloofness, but without losing the unique boldness of the Witch Clan:
"Brothers, after discussing with Daoist Xuande, I feel that there is something that should be done. This matter is related to the future of the Witch Clan and the future of Underworld."
She paused and recounted the plan from beginning to end about introducing Witch Clan into Underworld, giving Divine Office, and enjoying Earthly Dao Fortune.
From the current shortage of manpower in the underworld, to the various priestly positions that the witches can perform in the underworld, to the fact that the underworld can be used as a retreat and refuge for the witches when disaster strikes.
She wants her brothers to understand that this is not charity, but a win-win situation.
After Houtu finished speaking, Pangu Hall was completely silent for a moment.
Xuande stood aside, scanning the faces of Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, Goumang, Gonggong, Zhurong, Xuanming and others one by one.
He saw consternation, hesitation, contemplation, and also some suppressed hope.
After a long time, Dijiang slowly said, "Little sister, is what you said really feasible?
If I, Witch Clan, son-in-law, do not practice Primordial Spirit, I will not enter reincarnation. This is the law set by Father God Pangu.
If they join Underworld, will they be rejected by Earthly Dao?"
"No." Houtu's shadow shook his head, and his tone was firm without any hesitation, "Underworld is Underworld, and reincarnation is reincarnation. They belong to the same system of Earthly Dao but are not the same.
Witch Clan Erlang inherited Fengdu Hall, Judge Division, Underworld Deputy Division, Soul-Summoning Division, Prison-Guarding Division, which are not involved in reincarnation. Underworld Divine Office does not conflict with their nature of not entering reincarnation.
In the name of the master of Earthly Dao, I promise you that Witch Clan will not be rejected by Earthly Dao in Underworld."
"What about Earthly Dao Fortune?" Zhujiuyin asked, his voice steady but translucent, "If I, Witch Clan, take over Underworld Divine Office, Earthly Dao How is the effect of Fortune's blessing different from that of Heavenly Dao Fortune?"
Xuande took over. "Earthly Dao Fortune and Heavenly Dao Fortune have the same origin but different trends.
The blessing of Heavenly Dao Fortune can help monks achieve breakthroughs in enlightenment, turn misfortune into good fortune, and bring good luck in times of trouble. Earthly Dao Fortune is for killing and protecting.
Those who hold the priesthood of the underworld are blessed with combat power in the netherworld, and enjoy the power of protection equal to the fate of heaven in the mortal world.
There is no distinction between the two, they just have different emphasis."
"Moreover," Xuande added, his voice neither fast nor slow.
"Earthly Dao and Heavenly Dao now respect Heavenly Dao, but fellow Daoist Houtu is doing its best to manage the foundation of Earthly Dao.
If one day Earthly Dao can keep pace with Heavenly Dao, then Witch Clan holding Underworld Divine Office will be equivalent to coexistence and death with Earthly Dao.
At that time, even if Heavenly Dao wants to bring about any disaster, he must first pass the level of Earthly Dao."
Zhujiuyin was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
"Then..." Dijiang's voice was hoarse, as if he was suppressing some ups and downs of emotions, "What does little sister need from us?"
Houtu looked at her brothers through the shadow of Reincarnation Disk, looked at the scratches of wind and frost on their resolute faces, and looked at their composure and depth honed by the flames of war.
Her voice became a little gentler, but it was still unshakable. "My little sister asks all brothers to select a group of elite Greater Witch, with cultivation levels of at least Heavenly Immortal and above. Those with calm and reliable character will be given priority.
The number of people does not need to be too large, more than a hundred will be enough. Let's go first to Underworld to take over the junior Divine Office."
"In addition," her voice lowered a bit, "I hope that all brothers can also create a clone and join Underworld with this batch of Greater Witch.
The elder brother's clone acts as Divine Office and enjoys the blessings of Earthly Dao Fortune.
In this way, it can be regarded as leaving a trace of incense and a way out in Underworld.
In case Primordial Wilderness changes in the future, the brothers' clones in Underworld can quickly respond to the Witch Clan's retreat."
Dijiang was silent.
Gonggong and Zhurong looked at each other. Ancestral Witch, who usually had the hottest tempers, was unusually silent at this moment.
Xuanming lowered his head and dug his fingertips into his palm unconsciously.
Zhujiuyin closed his eyes, the eyes containing River of Time were covered by his eyelids, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Houtu doesn't push me either.
She just waited quietly in the shadow, using her unique gentle and firm way, waiting for her brothers to figure it out on their own.
She knows that this is not an easy task for Ancestral Witchs.
Witch Clan has always had a head-on attitude and would rather die than retreat. Letting them take the initiative to arrange "escape routes" and "back-ups" is, in a sense, shaking the foundation of the Witch Clan's clan.
But Houtu believes that her brothers are not pedantic people.
Especially after what happened with the essence and blood just now.
Sure enough, Dijiang spoke first.
"Okay." He only said one word, then turned to Xuande, cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. One hundred Greater Witch, I will immediately transfer them from various ministries.
As for the clone we are waiting for..." He looked around at his ten brothers and sisters, "What do you think?"
"I'll go." Zhujiuyin was the first to say, his voice calm.
"I'll go too." Goumang followed closely.
"Laozi is going too!"
Gonggong and Zhurong said in unison, and then glared at each other with disgust. Xuanming nodded expressionlessly. "I'll follow my little sister."
Rushou, Tianwu, Xizi, Shebishi, Qiangliang and the remaining Ancestral Witch all expressed their opinions without any hesitation.
Twelve Dutian Divine Fiends is missing one Houtu, and now they have another clone. Although their respective strengths will be compromised, compared with the back road, this loss is not worth mentioning at all.
Xuande looked at this scene, and looked at these Ancestral Witchs, who are known for their fierceness and violence in Primordial Wilderness, all echoing in unison for a common decision.
An indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.
Witch Clan has been able to stand Primordial Wilderness to this day not only because of the strength of Physical Body, but also because of the bloody spirit in their bones that they must unite together no matter what.
Dijiang turned around, drew his thick fingers in the void, and three commands flew out from his fingertips, penetrated Pangu Hall's palace wall, and shot out in all directions to Buzhou Mountain.
That was the summons order from the leader of Ancestral Witch to select the first batch of applicants from the tens of thousands of the Witch Clan soldiers stationed at Buzhou Mountain.
"One hundred Greater Witch, it will take a while." Dijiang said to Xuande, "Fellow Daoist, please wait in the hall. I will come back as soon as I go."
After saying that, he stood up together with other Ancestral Witch and strode outside the hall.
In the Witch Tribe at the feet of Buzhou Mountain, the deep sound of war drums began to echo. It was Ancestral Witch's order to summon the elite from all ministries.
Xuande stayed alone in the Pangu Hall, closed his eyes and concentrated, took out Great Emperor Fengdu's Token, and Divine Sense sank into it.
The Underworld map in Communication Token is spread out in his Sea of Consciousness.
Fengdu Hall, Shidian, Judge Office, Underworld Deputy Division, Soul-Summoning Hall, Guiding Division, Soul-Seizing Platform, Prison-Guarding Hall, Patrol Path, Naihe Bridge, Wangxiang Terrace...
Each of the many Divine Office corresponds to a flashing divine pattern. There are more than a thousand positions in total, and most of them are currently empty.
He needs to arrange the most suitable positions for the upcoming one hundred Greater Witch and eleven Ancestral Witch clones.
Prison-Guarding Division needs Physical Body strong Witch Clan warriors, Soul-Summoning Division needs hunters with keen senses, and Judge Office needs pawns with a calm temperament.
Every detail must be carefully considered, so that these Witch Clan boys can get started as quickly as possible after arriving at Underworld, and also allow them to enjoy the blessings of Earthly Dao Fortune as much as possible.
The pulse of Blood-Jade Giant Pillar in the temple was like the aftertaste of the heart, beating one by one in his spiritual perception.
In a daze, Xuande seemed to be able to hear Pangu Hall's own acquiescence to all this.
This temple, transformed by Pangu's Heart, uses its ancient and silent way to witness the final plans made by its descendants at the moment of life and death.
Outside the hall, the sound of the Witch Clan war drums became more and more intensive.
The various departments of the Witch Clan at the feet of Buzhou Mountain quickly began to assemble after receiving the order from Ancestral Witch Token.
This is Witch Clan.
No nonsense, just action.
