Bodhi Old Ancestor, the Golden Crow's Fall

In the Central Land, the massacre of humans by the Witch Clan ended quickly. In just two days, all the humans in the Central Land perished, becoming victims of the Witch Clan's blades.

Blood flowed across the land, and corpses littered the entire area!

What the Witch and Demon Races need is the essence and blood of the spirit, not ordinary blood.

The remnant souls of the dead humans, guided by the will of Heaven, arrived at the Blood Sea and the entrance to the Netherworld of Mount Tai. Their sheer number was astonishing.

There are many races that have been wiped out in the Primordial Wilderness, the kind that are completely extinct, but none as numerous as the human race. The key is that the human race has not been completely wiped out; many people have survived.

This demonstrates just how fast the human race reproduces; the rate is even faster than that of the demon race.

Houtu stood atop the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai, watching countless remnants of human souls wandering on Mount Buqi. She felt a pang of pity, for many of them were ordinary people.

They weren't ordinary people, but most of them hadn't become immortals. However, in Houtu's eyes, they were indeed no different from ordinary people.

"The extermination of humanity is not a major event, but the atrocities committed are far too great; it truly offends the natural order!"

Houtu murmured something, then flew down to Mount Buqi, concealing her form as she sensed the changes in these remnant souls.

Just after Chang'e was rescued by Houyi, the tribal chief "Du" who remained behind looked at his dead people and was filled with indescribable grief. This time, he truly witnessed the cruelty of the Primordial Wilderness and saw what a master was.

Even when they joined forces, they couldn't defeat the Great Luo Demon God, yet he couldn't even withstand a single move from Houyi. The allure of that arrow lingered in his mind for a long time.

"I want to become an apprentice and learn the Tao!"

At this moment, in Du's heart, his determination to become stronger was strengthened. He wanted to be as powerful as Houyi, as powerful as his teacher and the Saint Mother, so that today's tragedy would not happen again.

"The fate of humanity should be decided by themselves!"

He led his people back to Mount Tai, and then set off alone on a journey to find a master.

In fact, the best candidate in his heart was Donghua, but the two were ultimately not destined to be together. If they were, Donghua would have already taken him as his disciple when they were born!

Moreover, when the Heavenly Sovereign wanted to become Donghua's disciple, Donghua refused, saying that the two of them had no affinity as master and disciple, and that they should forge their own paths so that they could lead the human race to strength.

Du traveled westward, entering every mountain he encountered. He visited famous and majestic mountains, and with his Taiyi Realm cultivation, he faced little danger.

However, to be honest, as he searched along the way, he actually found several reclusive masters, all of whom were at the Quasi-Saint level. They were either guests of the Purple Sky Palace or Innate Deities who had survived from the ancient times.

Among them, they encountered an extremely special person, who was both a survivor from the ancient times and a guest of the Purple Sky Palace, named: Bodhi Old Ancestor!

This person was none other than Sun Wukong's master in later generations!

This person's true form is the same as Zhunti's, both being Zhunti Bodhi Tree. However, he is not as powerful Zhunti innately, and is not a top-level spiritual root, but rather a high-grade spiritual root that has been transformed into Innate Deities.

He achieved the Daluo Golden Immortal during the Dragon-Han Period, and later listened to the Dao at the Purple Sky Palace, achieving the Quasi-Saint realm. He cultivated the Divine Dao, the Immortal Dao, and the Devil Dao, and was proficient in all of them.

"We disciples are all devoted to the Dao and wish to study under a renowned master. We humbly request your acceptance and instruction in the Great Dao!"

They all knelt before the gate of Fangcun Mountain, sincerely speaking to the people inside. In fact, he didn't worship everyone; he was only willing to worship those who were truly capable, after all, he himself was at the Taiyi Realm.

Upon seeing this, the Bodhi Old Ancestor, who was lost in thought, immediately began to calculate. After some deduction, he finally understood what was going on.

A Great Dao Power gathered, forming a phantom that appeared before "Du". A burst of magical power was unleashed, and Du uncontrollably stood up.

"Rise now. You are exceptionally gifted, a member of the first generation of humans, Donghua and Nuwa. You are naturally endowed with the power of Yin and Nuwa and the Yin-Yang Trigrams. Now, having experienced the great changes in the human race, you have a firm heart for the Dao and are on the path to the Great Dao!"

The Bodhi Old Ancestor revealed the origin of "Du" and praised him highly, but this made "Du" very unhappy because the other party had clearly rejected him.

As expected, Bodhi Old Ancestor changed his tone and continued, "According to my calculations, the renowned master you will be able to apprentice under this time will not be me, because we have no predestined master-disciple relationship!"

"Just keep going, follow your heart, follow the direction you believe is right, and you will eventually find a great teacher!"

After Bodhi Old Ancestor finished speaking, he patted "Du" and left a trace of the Great Dao Power.

"I left the Great Dao Power on you. The Primordial Wilderness is extremely dangerous, but it can save lives in critical moments. Consider this my way of settling this debt of gratitude for your worship!"

After Bodhi Old Ancestor finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace, and even the Fangcun Mountain in front of him vanished without anyone noticing.

But none of this disappointed "Du," and he began his journey to find a master once again!

In a tribe in the east, Taishang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the void, and saw a person who was going around seeking out masters.

"This child is destined to be my disciple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taishang disappeared. Yuanshi and Tongtian, who were left behind, exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say, but were clearly very happy.

After all, they had already taken on several disciples, but the eldest brother, Taishang, had not yet taken on any disciples, which was quite awkward. The identity of the second-generation eldest disciple of the Mystic Sect would definitely fall to Taishang's disciple.

Otherwise, when it came to them, no one would be willing to submit to the other. Their disciples would fight tooth and nail over the title. Therefore, the two of them never discussed who came first or last, and their disciples addressed each other as they pleased.

Yuanshi sighed, "Now that my elder brother has also lost his disciple, it seems that the time has truly come for our Mystic Sect to spread throughout the world!"

"Third brother, how is your compilation of scriptures going?"

The scriptures that Yuanshi inquired about were sectarian scriptures, which were both methods of cultivation and the true meaning of the great religion, just like the <Yellow Court Scripture> compiled by the three of them.

Tongtian proudly declared, "It's almost finished! It's already been compiled into twenty-four volumes, with only twelve volumes remaining, totaling the number of Heavenly Dippers. The day the book is completed will be the day I, Tongtian, break through to Quasi-Saint!"

Yuanshi said with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good. My scripture is almost finished. The day it's completed will also be the day I break through to the Quasi-Saint!"

The two exchanged another glance, clearly seeing the comparison in each other's eyes.

"Compare?"

"Compare!"

At this time, in the central Buzhou Mountain region, the Witch Clan had completed the extermination of the human race, slaughtering almost all of them and collecting the essence and blood of hundreds of millions of humans.

Because in the central region, the Witch Clan is the only dominant force, and no one can stop them. The human race's strength is insignificant in front of the Witch Clan, not to mention that there are several Ancestor Witch backing them up.

After slaughtering the human race, the Witch Clan quickly regrouped and returned to Buzhou Mountain, where they began refining spiritual treasures.

A red light was flying across the Sky Vault; it was Houyi carrying the injured Chang'e.

After leaving Mount Tai, Houyi flew straight towards the Purple Mansion in the East Sea.

In fact, he wanted to cross the River of Time and Space and go directly to the Purple Mansion, but unfortunately, the location of the river concerning the Purple Mansion had long been suppressed by the West Queen Mother's Kunlun Mirror, and no one could enter.

So Houyi had no choice but to fly towards the Purple Mansion in the East Sea. Although it was a bit slow, he would reach the Purple Mansion in no time if he flew at full speed.

"Big brother, look, isn't that Houyi?"

At this moment, the Nine Golden Crows, who were leaving Longevity Mountain and about to return to Heavenly Court, saw Houyi flying.

The Golden Crow scanned the red light flying ahead with its Dharma Eye, and upon closer inspection, confirmed that it was Houyi.

"That's him!"

"Big brother, what should we do? Should we intercept and kill him to avenge Xiao Ba and Aunt Chang Xi!" the Second Golden Crow said fiercely, his eyes filled with rage.

The Golden Crow glanced at Houyi again, observing his cultivation level, and finally said, "Houyi's current cultivation is only at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, no longer the Quasi-Saint realm he once was. With the nine of us joining forces, we can indeed deal with him. What do you think?"

Among the nine brothers, the eldest, second eldest, third eldest, Little Ten eldest were all at the peak of the Grand Unity, and the rest were also at the Grand Unity realm. When the nine of them joined forces, they were indeed not afraid of Houyi.

Upon hearing the words of the Golden Crow, the other Golden Crow were clearly tempted to take the opportunity to kill Houyi and avenge their family.

If Houyi were at the Quasi-Saint level, they would turn around and leave, but if Houyi were only at the Grand Unity level, what would they have to fear?

"Beat!"

"Beat!"

"Then let's fight!"

Seeing that all the Golden Crow had agreed, only the Golden Crow said weakly, "Brothers, let's not cause any more trouble. Let's listen to our uncle and return to the Sun Star. Although Houyi is now at the Grand Unity realm, he was once Quasi-Saint. Can we really deal with him?"

"What are you afraid of, Little Ten? Houyi may be simple, but we are also Golden Crow. How are we inferior to him? We are of the same realm and have the same cultivation. We are nine of us, one of us. How could we not beat him? Even if we really can't beat him, with the speed of us Golden Crow, can Hou Houyi catch up with us?" the Second Golden Crow said unhappily.

The Golden Crow hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's fight, but if things go badly, we must escape."

The nine brothers quickly reached an agreement and began to plan their tactics.

"We'll Golden Crow Great Formation and burn him to death with the True Sun Fire. Houyi is also carrying someone in his arms; with that burden, he'll inevitably be injured. Then we'll surround and kill him!"

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Houyi, holding Chang'e in his arms, was focused solely on traveling to the Purple Mansion in the East Sea to seek help from the West Queen Mother for treatment.

But just as they were flying, the Great Dao trembled, and their minds instantly issued a warning. A blood-red longbow automatically appeared.

Before Houyi could react, nine figures instantly appeared above him, blocking his path.

The Golden Crow roared, "Houyi, today we will make you pay for Xiao Ba and Aunt Chang Xi's lives!"

Without further ado, the group produced a golden divine wheel in their hands. Judging from its level, it was a top-tier acquired spiritual treasure, which was truly rare.

Top-tier spiritual treasures are already rare, let alone nine identical ones appearing all at once. It's not so much rare as it's unprecedented. It seems that Di Jun and Taiyi really went all out for the Golden Crow.

"Get out of my way! I don't want to kill you today!" Houyi was only focused on getting to the Purple Mansion and had no intention of dealing with these people.

In his eyes, these kids were nothing more than brats; beating them would lower his status.

However, the Nine Golden Crows were even more enraged by Houyi's attitude.

The group unleashed their Great Sun Divine Wheel, mobilizing the power of the Sun Star, and instantly a large formation was set up, surrounding Houyi.

The Golden Crow True Fire instantly transformed into the True Sun Fire, and the nine Golden Crow stood in the Sky Vault like nine suns, fiercely roasting Houyi in the center. The Great Dao of the Sun transformed into the power of laws, Seal Heaven Seal earth.

Houyi frowned. Although this level of True Sun Fire was powerful, it still couldn't harm him.

After all, although his cultivation level had fallen to the Grand Unity, his divine body still possessed the strength of Quasi-Saint and would not decline due to the drop in his realm.

But now that our path is blocked by the great formation, we have no choice but to fight!

Houyi held Chang'e in one arm, and the thick, Turbid Qi transformed into a protective shield, protecting the two from the True Sun Fire. Then, the blood-red longbow in his right hand transformed into a divine axe, and he set his sights on the east and charged forward.

He had no intention of fighting at all; he was only thinking about saving Chang'e, so he didn't want to waste any time.

The nine Golden Crow, now in their true forms, stood according to the positions of the Nine Palaces and Nine Luminaries. The golden divine wheels in their hands drew upon the Sun Star, and boundless solar power descended, blessing the group.

All the power was transformed through the great formation, the nine elements were combined into one, and the Golden Crow took the lead in making its move.

The Golden Crow Cry!

The golden divine wheel in his hand was unleashed, descending like a great sun, charging forward!

Houyi's gaze shifted. At that moment, he admitted that these nine Golden Crow were quite something, truly worthy of being the sons of Di Jun and Xi He.

Raising the divine axe in his hand, he mobilized the powerful Turbid Qi within his body, transforming the Great Dao into the power of rules. With a single axe strike, there were no fancy techniques, only endless slaughter.

With a single axe strike, the attack of the Golden Crow was instantly torn apart, and the offensive continued unabated, shattering the great formation of the nine people.

Houyi sneered, "If you want revenge, you should go back and practice more. You're still far from ready!"

After saying that, he turned and left!

Enraged by these words, the Golden Crow attacked again, this time transforming into a gigantic Three-legged Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow raises its head and roars to the sky!

The power of the Sun Star continued to pour in, converging into a beam of True Sun Fire that shot directly toward Houyi.

"Move Stars and Change Constellations!"

The Golden Crow's attack did not stop; it directly used the Move Stars and Change Constellations from the Heavenly Dipper Great Spiritual Powers.

In an instant, the stars shifted, the Sun Star sank downwards, and the Golden Crow echoed from afar.

Seeing this, the other eight Golden Crow also joined in, transforming into Golden Crow and using their Great God to Move Stars and Change Constellations.

Houyi, who was about to leave, stopped and looked up at the heavens. At this moment, the power of the True Sun Fire was so great that it was enough to injure even Quasi-Saint.

The protective shield formed from the Turbid Qi could no longer protect Chang'e, and countless drops of sweat fell from her delicate body.

This isn't sweat, it's the power of life!

Chang'e's already fragile life was dealt another severe blow, and her entire body became transparent, as if she could be swept away by the wind at any moment.

At this moment, Houyi could no longer conceal his anger!

"You scruffy bird, you're asking for it!"

With a swing of his divine axe, he instantly tore apart the incoming True Sun Fire!

Then it soared into the sky, intending to interrupt the Great God being unleashed by the group.

With another swing of the axe, the power of the Great Dao Rules formed an axe beam that rose to the sky, traversing time and space, and struck the heavens, instantly shattering the Move Stars and Change Constellations.

The blessing power of the Sun Star has stopped!

But before Houyi Yi could breathe a sigh of relief, a voice rang out:

"Please turn around, treasure!!"

The little Golden Crow held a gourd, chanting an incantation, and the Great Dao Power surged forth.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Knife transformed into a white ray of light, revealing a creature with eyebrows, wings, a head, and eyes. Its eyes emitted white light, instantly freezing Houyi's weak primordial spirit and the Great Dao!

The Witch Clan originally had weak primordial spirits, and their strength was not determined by their primordial spirits, so this was nothing to Houyi.

However, it was truly painful to have the power of the Great Dao Rules sealed. He couldn't unleash any of his strength and couldn't break free. All he could see was a white light slashing towards him.

Just as the white light struck, Houyi finally broke free of his restraints, instantly transforming into his Great Witch True Form, reaching out with both hands to grab the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife.

Unable to retaliate, Houyi actually used his True Body Power to withstand the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

A clang of metal clashing rang out!

Houyi Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, but he actually withstood the attack without taking any damage, which was truly unbelievable.

Even Donghua would probably be ashamed if he saw this scene. Back then, the original owner was Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, which injured his primordial spirit and gave him the opportunity to let his true spirit take control of the body.

Houyi was unharmed, but Chang'e was in dire straits; her body seemed unable to withstand the force of the impact and was about to shatter.

Houyi's heart was in his throat, and he dared not touch her, for Chang'e's body was gradually turning into spots, as if she would perish completely at any moment.

But at that moment, a power of law rose up and instantly protected Chang'e.

"The Reincarnation Law!"

Houyi instantly recognized what it was. He hadn't expected that Houtu had left a contingency plan inside Chang'e's body. Fortunately, she had this plan, otherwise Chang'e would have really died.

At this moment, Houyi could no longer contain his anger. His powerful Great Witch True Form pierced through heaven and earth, and the power of his physical body deformed the surrounding space. He swung his divine axe, tearing open the Sky Vault, and a space appeared in which he carefully placed Chang'e.

He then closed the space, determined to focus solely on the battle and kill those scruffy birds!

Seeing the situation was dire, the Nine Golden Crows tried to flee. They hadn't expected Houyi to possess the strength of Quasi-Saint in physical form, something they were definitely not capable of contending with.

The group instantly used the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique to escape to the Heavenly Court and the Sun Star.

But Houyi would never let them go!

The divine axe in his hand transformed into its original form, and a blood-red longbow appeared. Houyi stood on the ground, and the power of the earth and endless Turbid Qi converged. With the blessing of the power of the Great Dao Rules, a blood-red arrow appeared on the longbow.

Houyi drew his bow like a full moon, and an arrow imbued with the Great Dao Rules shot into the sky, heading straight for the Golden Crow.

A blood-red True Dragon coils around the arrow shaft, roaring to the sky!

The Golden Crow's Rainbow Transformation Technique was indeed fast; it vanished in an instant.

But in Houyi's heart, the figure of the Golden Crow was so clearly visible. This is the way of the heart, the direction of the heart, the path of the Way!

The Golden Crow had no time to react before an arrow pierced its divine body.

At that moment, he could clearly feel something shatter, like his heart, or perhaps the very essence of the universe.

However, he knew that the Golden Crow's source power was rapidly dissipating, but he was powerless to do anything about it; everything felt so futile.

Do you regret it?

Before his death, this question arose in the mind of the Golden Crow. Before he could think any further, his divine body descended instead of rising, falling towards the Primordial Land like a small sun.

"Brother!!"

"Brother!!!"

"..."

The other Golden Crow cried out in grief and indignation, but they dared not turn around and could only watch helplessly as their eldest brother died.

"Escape!"

The Golden Crow roared, instantly burning its magical power and true blood, and rushed towards the Heavenly Court and the Sun Star.

But Houyi, on the ground, did not stop after shooting one arrow. He then shot eight more arrows in succession, charging towards the Golden Crow.

Every arrow hits its mark; each shot kills a Golden Crow!

The seven Golden Crow that were slow to escape were instantly shot down. Only the Golden Crow, who was determined to escape, ran into the South Heaven Gate at the last moment, and Houyi's arrow was blocked by the South Heaven Gate!

The Golden Crow survived!

He collapsed limply inside the Heavenly Court, feeling both despair and helplessness. A wave of exhaustion washed over him, and he finally fainted.

Perhaps at this moment, all ten Golden Crow have died!

On the earth, after Houyi shot down eight Golden Crow, he tore open space and carried Chang'e all the way to the Purple Mansion in the East Sea.

Chang'e's injuries could not wait any longer; if it continued, she would surely die.

At this moment, a torrential rain began to fall from the heavens, whether for the sake of humanity or for the Golden Crow was unknown!

P. S.: It's the last day of the month, please give me some monthly votes!

Finally, I wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Two chapters should be restored next month!
