Northern Mystery left Mount Sumeru, drove up a group of black clouds, and flew slowly towards the North Sea.
From West to the North Sea, it spans more than half of Primordial Wilderness. With his Late Quasi-Sage cultivation level, he could have gone faster, but he was not in a hurry.
Countless Kalpa were trapped in the turtle body, and now that he could finally walk between heaven and earth with his Tao body, he was no longer in a hurry.
Stop and go along the way, look at the mountains and rivers, listen to the wind and the singing of birds, and make up for the scenery that I have missed one by one since Kalpa.
After several years of stopping and stopping like this, we finally arrived at the North Sea.
North Sea is still the same as in the memory. The sea is vast and boundless, the waves are as turbulent as ink, and the sea breeze blows towards your face with a salty cold air.
Northern Mystery hovered over the sea, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His eyes that were no longer cloudy reflected the sea area where he had protected countless Kalpa, and a touch of emotion appeared on his old face.
However, as soon as he stepped into the North Sea airspace, he felt that an extremely hidden restriction had been triggered.
The restriction was arranged extremely delicately. If he hadn't been Northern Sea Black Tortoise himself and knew every inch of Spiritual Energy's movement in this sea area, other people might not even be able to notice it.
He recognized the style of prohibition.
Dark, precise, and silent, like a spider web lurking in the dark.
That's Kunpeng's handiwork.
North Sea is the birthplace of Kunpeng. There is a fish in Northern Darkness, and its name is Kun. It turns into a bird, and its name is Peng.
Although Kunpeng had already joined Demon Clan Heavenly Court and became Demon Master, holding a high position of authority and taking charge of Thirty-Three Heavens, he never gave up on the North Sea.
For him, this sea area is both his hometown and his retreat.
Northern Mystery sensed the restriction and felt no anger in his heart, but just sighed slightly.
Whether Kunpeng, Demon Clan or North Sea, he didn't care how many generations of owners it had.
He just wanted to come back and take a look.
At the same time, above Thirty-Three Heavens, Demon Master Palace is deep.
Kunpeng is sitting cross-legged on an altar completely carved by Northern Darkness Ice, surrounded by a faint blue chill.
When the wave that triggered the restriction was transmitted to his Divine Sense, he suddenly opened his eyes.
He was startled at first, but when he felt the breath carefully, his pupils shrank slightly.
The Northern Sea Black Tortoise trapped in the turtle body with countless Kalpa turned out to be Form Transformation.
The aura is still the familiar Northern Sea Black Tortoise, but the Tao charm exuded by the Tao body is completely different from that of the turtle body.
The person standing behind him must be Western Sect.
Jieyin's Nirvana Buddha Light, Zhunti's Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and Xuande's three-color intertwined Hunyuan Daoyun have the remaining power, and Kunpeng will not admit their mistake.
It was the three Hunyuan of the Western Sect who joined forces to help Northern Mystery Form Transformation.
Kunpeng was silent for a moment, with no expression on his sinister face.
Then he slowly closed his eyes and remembered the matter in his heart, but did not take any further action.
He did not send troops to inspect North Sea, did not strengthen the ban, and did not even issue a summons.
Because he knows Northern Mystery.
He Taiqing knew the character of this old turtle. He had no disputes with the world, was not involved in cause and effect, and never participated in any disputes Primordial Wilderness.
Northern Mystery returned to the North Sea just to see his hometown and see if the sea area where he had protected countless Kalpa was okay.
He will not compete for control of the North Sea, will not touch any layout of Kunpeng here, nor will he get involved in the game between the Demon Clan and all parties.
For such a being, there is no point in sending troops to drive it away, and there is no point in wooing him. The best way to deal with it is to do nothing. Let him finish watching, and he will leave naturally.
Kunpeng pressed the matter down and sank back into the deduction of Great Array of the Stars.
Hong Yun is currently the number one target of Demon Clan Heavenly Court. Compared with an old turtle who lives in peace with the world, Hong Yun who holds Primordial Violet Qi in Wuzhuang Temple is the prey that is truly worth the effort.
On the other side, Xuande did not stay in Mount Sumeru for long after bidding farewell to Northern Mystery.
It is more than enough for the Western Sect to have Jieyin and Zhunti in charge of the Western Sect's affairs. There is still a place in his heart that he has been worrying about for a long time.
The golden lotus shadow under his feet flashed, and his figure disappeared from the top of Mount Sumeru, fleeing in the direction of Netherworld.
Under the operation of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal level Spatial Escape Technique, Primordial Wilderness's Law of Space was like a transparent gauze in front of him, which could be seen through as soon as it was worn.
In a few breaths, he penetrated the surface of the earth and entered the dark and vast Netherworld.
Underworld's atmosphere changed again from when he left before his sermon.
Ten Kings of Hell's government office became more and more solemn, and Witch Clan sons and gentlemen performed their duties in Underworld in an orderly manner.
The dead souls on Naihe Bridge formed a long and winding queue.
The screams coming from Eighteen Levels of Hell can be vaguely heard, but it is more of a low roar unique to the operation of order.
That is the sound of Earthly Dao growing up.
The foundation of Earthly Dao is much stronger than the last time.
Xuan Merit Body also holds the position of Great Emperor Fengdu, and all the restrictions in Underworld are of no avail to him.
He went straight through the layers of restrictions and came to the core area of Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The huge light wheel of Six Paths of Reincarnation is still slowly rotating, and the golden Light of Reincarnation reflects the entire netherworld like a sun deep in the center of the earth.
Houtu is sitting in the center of Reincarnation Disk, and the black and yellow Earthly Dao holy light is constantly flowing around her.
Sensing the aura of Xuande, she opened her eyes, and a trace of sincere joy flashed in her golden eyes.
She stood up and walked out slowly from the center of Reincarnation Disk. Her earth-colored robe had a soft luster under the reflection of Light of Reincarnation. Her long hair was tied back casually, as simple and dignified as ever.
"My fellow Daoist has returned from enlightenment, and my little sister has not yet congratulated him in person."
Houtu smiled slightly, raised his hand and made two futons around Reincarnation Disk, one for Xuande to sit down, and one for him to sit cross-legged.
"Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, Great Dao Blessing.
Although my little sister has not been able to see the opportunity that the Daoist friend had in Chaos, just by feeling the aura of the Daoist friend now, I know that the harvest from this trip is much greater than originally expected."
Xuande sat down opposite her without being polite.
Then he told Houtu the story of how Three Lotuses United in Chaos attained enlightenment, Hunyuan, how the cracks of Great Dao came down to give blessings, and how his consciousness entered the net of Great Dao's laws and realized Path of Hunyuan Wuji.
Houtu listened with great concentration. His golden eyes first showed wonder, then understanding, and finally turned into a kind of heartfelt joy and relief.
When Xuande said that he intertwined the three thousand laws of Merit, purification and destruction Great Dao.
Houtu nodded slightly.
This metaphor is not unfamiliar to her. The operation of Earthly Dao itself is centered on reincarnation.
The process of evolving countless laws of order from the six paths is different from the path of Xuande, but the underlying logic is similar.
"Fellow Daoist, this road goes further than my little sister." Houtu said sincerely.
"My little sister has achieved Great Dao Sage by transforming into reincarnation, and she clearly understands the operating rules of Reincarnation Dao and Earthly Dao.
Taking this path to the extreme, it is just operating Earthly Dao to keep pace with Heavenly Dao.
However, Daoist friends take Three Lotuses United as the foundation, use the three ways to evolve the three thousand laws, and point directly to Hunyuan Wuji and even Great Dao Realm.
My little sister is ashamed of this grand plan."
Xuande shook his head, and his tone was as calm as ever. "Friend Daoist, why should you be so modest? Reincarnation Dao seems to only involve life and death, but in fact it involves cause and effect, time and space, creation, and destruction. Great Dao.
Fellow Daoist people supported Six Paths of Reincarnation by one person, filling the biggest loophole in Primordial Wilderness world.
For this achievement, the poor Daoist is just the icing on the cake, but the fellow Daoist is a help in times of need.
What's more, Path of Hunyuan Wuji leads to the same destination through different paths, and the Reincarnation Dao of a fellow Daoist reaching the extreme may not necessarily lead to the same destination as the Three Lotuses Dao of a poor Daoist."
Houtu Hearing this, an imperceptible fluctuation flashed in his eyes.
She knew that Xuande was comforting her.
Although her Reincarnation Dao is magnificent, her body is trapped in Underworld, and she cannot freely pursue a higher realm in Chaos like Xuande.
But she didn't care about this.
Her original intention of attaining enlightenment was not to pursue higher cultivation, but to find a way out for the Witch Clan.
Now Witch Clan has a way out in Underworld, and has the mission to purify evil spirits in Primordial Wilderness. Most of her original intention has been realized.
As for a higher realm, that is not what she cares about most right now.
The two discussed for a while, ranging from the evolution rules of Three Thousand Great Daos to the game between Earthly Dao and Heavenly Dao, from the possible paths of Hunyuan Wuji to the changes in the future pattern of Primordial Wilderness.
Although Houtu is Great Dao Sage, her knowledge and wisdom are not inferior to any Hunyuan.
When she discusses with Xuande, she can often get to the point in just a few words and point out the core contradiction of a certain issue.
Xuande shared with Houtu the principles of Three Thousand Great Daos's evolution that he clearly understood from the web of Great Dao's laws, especially the part about the intersection of cause and effect and reincarnation.
These have extremely important reference value for Houtu to improve the operation system of Earthly Dao.
After the discussion came to an end, Houtu was silent for a moment, with a complex look flashing in his golden eyes.
She spoke slowly, her voice a little lower than when discussing Daoism: "Fellow Daoist, I still have something to ask for."
Xuande had already guessed what she was going to say, and just nodded slightly. "Fellow Daoist, it doesn't matter if you say it."
"Witch Clan." There was a hint of concern in Houtu's voice that was difficult to conceal.
"Although my little sister has introduced Witch Clan to Underworld so that the tribe can enjoy the protection of Earthly Dao Fortune, those who work in Underworld are only part of the Witch Clan after all.
The main body of the Witch Clan in Primordial Wilderness is still confronting Demon Clan under Buzhou Mountain.
Although the brothers have begun to lead Witch Clan to purify Primordial Wilderness's evil spirits, Twelve Dutian Divine Fiends Formation cannot function completely without the little sister.
The future Witch Clan that the younger sister saw when she became enlightened was destroyed, her brother died, and Heavenly Pillar collapsed.
My little sister can never let go of this."
Her voice trembled slightly, but she soon regained her composure.
She is Great Dao Sage, the master of Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the incarnation of Earthly Dao, but at this moment, she is just a sister who cares about her brother.
Xuande listened quietly without interrupting her. He knew that Houtu did not need comfort or empty words like "it will be okay".
She saw the ending of Witch-Demon Tribulation with her own eyes, and she knew how tragic that future would be.
What she needs is not comfort, but someone who can take care of the Witch Clan for her at the critical moment.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist." Xuande's voice was calm and determined, without any unnecessary modifications, just four simple words.
Houtu looked into his eyes, and in those eyes that were flowing Three-Colored Light, she saw what she wanted to see.
Not pity, not charity, but the purest commitment.
She knows who Xuande is.
This person never makes promises easily, but as long as he says the word "don't worry", that is a promise that he will carry it for her even if the sky falls.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Houtu's voice softened, and there was a faint warmth in those golden eyes.
Xuande waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone, "Pindao and Witch Clan already have a good relationship, and fellow Daoist brothers also take good care of Pindao.
What's more, Witch Clan is now purifying Primordial Wilderness's evil spirit. This achievement is of great benefit to Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth. In terms of emotion and reason, everyone should contribute."
Houtu said no more words of gratitude.
The friendship between the two has long passed the stage where words are needed to express gratitude. "Don't worry" and "Thank you" are enough.
Xuande originally planned to stay in Underworld for a few days and then return to Mount Sumeru, but when he saw the flash of fatigue in Houtu's eyes, he suddenly changed his mind.
He did not get up to say goodbye, but changed to a more casual posture and sat on the futon.
He conveniently isolates the coldness of the netherworld from the never-ending low roar of reincarnation.
In the light, he took out a pot of Enlightenment Tea brought from Mount Sumeru and cooked it with Three-Colored Lotus Flame. The aroma of tea soon spread around the edge of Reincarnation Disk.
"Fellow Daoist guarding reincarnation all day long, have you ever felt lonely?" Xuande pushed a cup of tea in front of Houtu and asked casually.
Houtu took the tea cup, held the warm cup sides with both hands, and was silent for a short while.
Those golden eyes reflected the light golden tea soup in the cup. After a long time, she nodded gently. "Occasionally.
The cycle of reincarnation never stops, countless dead souls pour in every moment, and countless souls are reincarnated every moment.
As Lord of Reincarnation, my little sister can feel all of this all the time.
The excitement is extremely lively, but this excitement does not belong to my little sister.
Although the brothers all have avatars working in Ten Kings of Hell.
But they were busy with their own official duties, and occasionally came to the Samsara Center to say a few words to the little sister and then left in a hurry. The little sister didn't blame them.
They don't understand Reincarnation Dao, nor do they understand what the little sister saw after she attained enlightenment."
She paused, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. There was a bit of helplessness and self-deprecation in the smile.
"Sometimes my little sister feels that this Six Paths of Reincarnation is like a huge millstone, which grinds my heart.
The longer the millstone spins, the quieter the grinding heart becomes, so quiet that you can't even hear your own heartbeat."
Xuande held the tea cup and listened quietly to what she said. He did not respond in a hurry, just drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then said slowly, "I understand."
Houtu raised his head, an imperceptible glimmer flashed in his golden eyes.
"Pindao is not Lord of Reincarnation, but Pindao knows that feeling."
Xuande put down the tea cup and looked at Houtu calmly, "Fellow Daoist trapped his body in the depths of reincarnation for the Witch Clan; Pindao went deep into Chaos alone in order to prove the Tao."
The loneliness in Chaos and the loneliness in reincarnation are actually the same thing.
It's not that there's no one around you, it's that no one around you can truly understand what you are carrying.
Fellow Daoist brothers love fellow Daoist, but they don't understand Reincarnation Dao or the ending of Calamity Kalpa seen from the perspective of Sage.
I don't understand the suffering in my fellow Daoist heart, knowing the outcome but being unable to express it.
All they can do is try their best to share the official duties and occasionally say a few words outside of official duties.
These words are warm, but they cannot reach the deepest place in my fellow Daoist heart."
Houtu didn't speak, but the hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly.
Xuande, every word poked the softest and most painful corner in her heart.
Her brothers love her, Dijiang is taciturn but always the first to stand in front of her, Zhujiuyin is thoughtful but never refuses any of her requests.
Gonggong Zhurong Although she is reckless, as long as she opens her mouth, she will go through hell and fire without even frowning.
But after all, they are Ancestral Witch, warriors transformed from the essence and blood of Pangu.
They can't understand Sage's loneliness.
I cannot understand the impact of the overwhelming torrent of life and death on a soul when Six Paths of Reincarnation is operating.
I can't understand the despair and unwillingness that surged in her heart when she glimpsed the future at the moment of enlightenment.
She never said these words to her brothers because she knew they wouldn't understand if she did.
But at this moment, Xuande said it for her.
"Can fellow Daoist stay at Underworld for a few more days?"
Houtu suddenly asked, his voice so soft that it was almost like he was talking to himself.
Xuande nodded. "Okay."
So he stayed.
No specific purpose, no specific agenda.
I just stayed to talk and discuss Tao with Houtu, and occasionally sat silently on the edge of Reincarnation Disk and watched the six light wheels slowly rotating together.
