A Scheming Houtu, and Little White Rabbit Donghua

Seeing that the two had finished their work, Donghua urged Bailian forward.

At this moment, Jieyin was seated on Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus.

Zhunti, sitting on a lotus platform, was not of the innate type, but was still a high-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

"The Western Great Dharma of you two fellow Daoists are truly astonishing; Tai Wei is filled with admiration."

Zhunti, his face glowing, smiled slightly, "I think Fellow Tai Wei Taiwei has a connection with the Western Region. Why not join Western Region and share the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?"

Upon hearing this, before Donghua could say anything, Hong Yun said, "Zhunti Daoist Zhunti is truly audacious. With the East King Gong possessing Three Islands and Ten Continents, and having such a vast power as the Purple Mansion, I'm afraid this connection is far too shallow."

Zhunti said softly, "Fate is fate, regardless of its importance."

Donghua thought to himself, whether it's fate or not, it's Zhunti, with your words. But having a connection with the Western Region is indeed quite good.

After all, he was the Head of Male Immortals. Once these two left the Mystic Sect and established the Buddhist Sect, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have a Positional Authority in the Buddhist Sect.

After all, if you don't have a few aliases, you can't really call yourself a member of the Primordial Wilderness world.

"Haha, since Zhunti says he has an affinity with the Western Region, I'll take note. If I ever find myself unable to make a living in the East, I'll come and seek refuge with you two. Don't refuse me then."

Zhunti: "This is a blessing for our Western Region!"

The Jieyin, "It would be my great honor!"

The conversation between the three left Hong Yun puzzled, and she thought to herself, "Are we not talking about the same thing?"

However, looking at the three people sitting on lotus platforms in front of him, they do indeed look somewhat alike.

At this moment, the sky flashed, and two figures appeared on Mount Sumeru; they were Zhen Yuanzi and Houtu.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Zhunti forward and asked, "Did you two have a smooth journey?"

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and smiled, saying nothing, but instead stretched out his right hand, revealing the Lingbao Earth Book.

The once pristine Earth Book is now riddled with ravines, forming a simple map. Within the map, eight veins connect, with Mount Sumeru at its center.

Seeing this, everyone beamed with joy. The matter had been accomplished more than halfway; all that remained was to put it into action.

This also proves with practical actions that their deductions were correct and that Donghua's thinking was flawless.

Zhunti could not contain his joy. He reached out and stroked the smooth Earth Book as if it were his private parts, his eyes filled with even more delight.

Upon seeing this, Donghua quickly used Water Mirror Technique to record it.

As soon as he turned his head, he found Houtu looking at him with a slight smile. Donghua also gave an awkward laugh, as if no one was around.

After regaining his Zhunti, Zhunti stood up and bowed to the group again.

They all received a partial bow.

They all seem to be intelligent people, just as he thought, and didn't attribute this cause and effect to these two.

"The great undertaking has been accomplished!"

Now that the main Sha Qi and demonic energy have been cleared away and the maps of the eight Earth Vein have been drawn, the next step is to repair these eight main veins on top of the existing Earth Vein, and then connect them to Mount Sumeru. This event will then be considered a complete success.

After resting on Mount Sumeru, the group split up the next day to begin their separate activities.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun are in one group, Jieyin and Zhunti are in another, and Donghua and Houtu in the third.

Donghua and Houtu left Mount Sumeru and headed west. Houtu used the power of the earth to alter the Earth Vein and connect them, while Donghua assisted in constructing the formation. The two worked together and complemented each other perfectly.

As they were heading towards the next connection point, Houtu suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"Has Tai Wei Taiwei truly abandoned the path of Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao for attaining enlightenment?"

Donghua was taken aback, not understanding why Houtu asked that question, so he simply gave a brief reply.

"Um!"

Houtu hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Then what does Fellow Tai Wei Taiwei think of the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao? Can this truly lead to enlightenment?"

Donghua smiled and slowly said, "Since the beginning of time, the earliest person to propose this method of Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao the Dao was probably Old Ancestor Kunwu during the Fierce Beast Tribulation."

"He gathered the Innate Deities and races that emerged at that time and established the first divine dynasty in the Primordial Wilderness, the Kunwu Divine Dynasty."

"Unfortunately, in the subsequent battle against the Fierce Beasts, the Kunwu Divine Dynasty was destroyed by Shen Ni. Shen Ni, with his powerful cultivation, conquered the Four Fierce Beasts, commanded Fierce Beasts in the world, and proclaimed himself the Beast Emperor."

Houtu sighed, "Indeed, how glorious the Kunwu Divine Dynasty was back then! Weren't the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Three Clans later vassals of the Kunwu Divine Dynasty?"

"After the fall of the Kunwu Divine Dynasty, the Three Clans rose rapidly, each becoming the ruler of their own region. Later, together with Dao Ancestor and other Innate Deities, they drove out the Fierce Beasts had caused their demise, thus making immortal contributions to the Primordial World."

"Later, the Ancestor Dragon, the Yuanfeng, and the First Qilin all cultivated the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao in order to prove their Dao, but didn't they all fail in the end?"

Donghua thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder what Houtu means by her question today?"

Houtu chuckled and said in a soft voice, "It's nothing. I'm just curious why you gave up on the path of the emperor. Do you think this path is a dead end?"

Donghua reiterated the reasons he had given last time.

After hearing Houtu, Houtu looked at Donghua and slowly said, "I can sense that what you said is only half right; you haven't mentioned the main reason."

"Don't forget, I am the God of the Great Earth. As long as I stand on the earth, I have infinite divine power and can hear the voices of all directions. That's why I can sense that you're not telling the truth."

Upon hearing this, Donghua was somewhat startled and immediately took two steps into the air.

Houtu laughed when she saw Donghua's actions, and looked at him mockingly.

Upon seeing this, Donghua realized he had been tricked.

The problem Houtu mentioned is indeed not there, but it depends on who the person is. If everyone can listen to what he thinks, then she is already invincible.

"Why would Houtu Daoist Houtu joke with me like this?"

Houtu smiled without saying a word, and said jokingly, "Aren't you surprised? Are you thinking, 'When did the barbaric and brutal Witch Clan become so cunning?'"

Donghua couldn't help but chuckle. Could this little vixen really understand what he was thinking?

"Don't doubt it. I can't read your mind, but isn't this how everyone in the Primordial Wilderness world views our Witch Clan? Is there any need to think about it?"

Donghua shook his head and said, "I have never thought of it that way. How could a race formed from the Pangu Dao Blood be truly simple? Your Witch Clan simply doesn't cultivate the Dao of the Primordial Spirit, it's not like you don't..."

"You're not brainless, are you?"

Donghua stopped halfway through his sentence, feeling that it was inappropriate to say such things in front of an Ancestor Witch, but Houtu said it directly instead.

Houtu sighed, "Sometimes I wish the Witch Clan could be simpler, less cunning, it would be better."

What do you mean?

Houtu gazed into the distance at the desolate Western Continent, where spiritual energy was scarce. Although there were living beings there, their abilities were generally inferior compared to those in the east.

"How beautiful the Western Continent was back then! This place was a sacred land for cultivators. Demon Ancestor Luohu established the Devil Dao, which flourished for a time."

"But nowadays, it's rare to see anyone practicing Devil Dao. Even the once prosperous Western Continent has become like this."

"Standing on this earth, I can hear the resentment of the departed and the earth's lament at every moment. It is truly a pity and a lament."

Houtu paused, turned to look at Donghua, and examined him again. "Initially, I did not agree to establish the Witch Court, but I could not stop my brothers from wanting to unify the Primordial Wilderness."

"The Witch and Monster Two Clans are now almost irreconcilable enemies. No matter how vast the Primordial World is, it cannot accommodate both races attaining enlightenment at the same time."

"But how similar this scene is to the Three Clans of the past! What do you say, East King Gong?"

Donghua did not answer the question, nor did he pay attention to the difference in names. Instead, he said, "Houtu Daoist Houtu, there is something I have never been able to understand. I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me. Why did your Witch Clan not intervene when the Demon Clan attacked the Star Domain?"

Houtu smiled and jokingly asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you inquiring about the secrets of my clan?"

"No, no, fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. If this matter involves your clan's secrets, there's no need to answer."

Houtu remained silent, strolling forward against the west wind. A gentle breeze blew, and her yellow-orange robe fluttered in the wind, giving her a unique charm.

Donghua followed, and the two strolled along.

"Why do you think Zhunti was able to persuade me to come to the Western Region?"

"Isn't this the reason you gave before?"

Houtu spread her arms wide and strolled forward, saying softly, "Yes and no, the main reason is that I wanted to get out and clear my head."

"What you just asked about was indeed a secret of our clan, but it's probably no longer a secret now."

Donghua was somewhat puzzled, but before he could ask, Houtu said:

"The demon race has conquered Star Domain, further consolidating its rear and occupying countless stars. They only need to consolidate their power; after that, their strength will inevitably increase significantly."

"The area where our race is inferior to the demon race is population, but after several periods of development, this deficiency has been overcome."

"But since the Heavenly Court can now rule the heavens, why can't our race expand further?"

"Before Di Jun conquered the Star Domain, he visited our Witch Court. The two sides reached a tacit agreement that within the first Yuanhui, neither side would fight, and both would develop according to their own abilities. After the first Yuanhui, the agreement would be null and void."

Houtu finished speaking, she turned to look at Donghua, smiled, and asked, "Are you surprised?"

Donghua thought for a moment, then nodded and shook his head, sighing, "Indeed, their hearts are all filthy."

"So, who are you planning to attack?"

Houtu did not answer, but repeated, "All hearts are dirty? That's quite apt; indeed, all hearts are dirty."

"But what if I told you that I was the first person to agree to the agreement with the demon race?"

Upon hearing this, Donghua felt a bit bewildered. He stared blankly at Houtu, inwardly cursing, "This kind and honest Houtu is actually so cunning. You really can't judge a book by its cover."

Seeing Donghua's appearance, Houtu laughed heartily, strode forward, and said, "Hurry up and set up the formation and deal with the Earth Vein. Also, don't look at me like that, I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Taizhen can't take it."

A hearty laugh echoed and spread!

Donghua didn't think much of it and continued to deal with the Sha Qi in the area, setting up formations and connecting the Earth Vein.

In fact, even if Houtu didn't say it, he could guess what the Witch Clan's goal was. He just didn't know why Houtu would come to the Western Region at this crucial moment.

"Did he really come here to relax?"

He shook his head. If it were the Houtu, he might have believed it, but after the conversation just now, he absolutely refused to believe it. None of these cunning people were good.

"Sigh, in front of them, I really feel like an innocent little rabbit!"
