a long time.
Houtu spoke slowly, her voice tinged with an undisguised bitterness:
" Earth Dao Sage?"
" Fellow Daoist Xuandu, you overestimate me."
She sighed, turned to look at the Six Paths flowing portals, her gaze deep and unfathomable:
"Although I have Body Merged with Samsara, Awaken Earth Dao, and wielded the power of the Nine Netherworlds, the Earth Dao is ultimately not perfect."
"In the past Great God Pangu World Creation, Body Merged with Great Wilderness. Heavenly Dao became pure, Earth Dao became turbid, and humanity's way became spiritual."
"But after the creation of the world, the Heavenly Dao was the first to awaken. The Dao Ancestor Hongjun Body Merged with Heavenly Dao and took charge of the Great Wilderness Order, making the Heavenly Dao increasingly powerful."
" The Earth Dao will remain dormant for billions until my Body Merged with Samsara, at which point it will truly awaken."
"But even if one awakens, it is not perfect; it is ultimately incomplete."
Houtu turned her head and looked at Xuandu, her Chaos Color eyes filled with helplessness:
"Without perfect understanding of the Earth Dao, there is no Earth Dao Sage Fruit Position."
"Although I am Earth Dao Sage, I forcibly attained that status through the Merit of Samsara."
In other words, I am an exception.
"Besides myself, there is no other person in the Earth Dao who can attain the Sage Fruit Position."
She paused, her voice turning somber:
"Although the Black Tortoise Merit Adorns the Body and its foundation has been elevated, how can it attain enlightenment without the attainment of Sage Fruit Position?"
"Even if it is reincarnated with strong talent and deep opportunities, it can only cultivate to the Quasi-Saint Peak at most."
" Sage? Hopeless."
As the sound faded, a deathly silence Samsara Seal.
On the Yellow Springs Road, countless True Spirit lined up, yet none dared to utter the slightest sound.
At the Bridge of Naihe Bridge, Meng Po, holding a bowl of soup, paused in her movements, gazing at the pale yellow figure with eyes full of awe.
In the River of Forgetfulness, countless vengeful spirits struggled and howled, but were suppressed by the Samsara Dao Patterns and could not move.
Xuandu's expression remained unchanged after hearing Houtu's words.
He simply nodded slightly.
" Your Empress is absolutely right."
" The Earth Dao is incomplete; there is certainly no Sage Fruit Position."
But as he finished speaking, a slow smile crept onto his lips.
The smile was faint, yet it carried a profound understanding that saw through everything.
Houtu seeing this, Houtu's gaze narrowed slightly:
"Why are you laughing, Fellow Daoist?"
Xuandu shook his head:
"This disciple was not laughing, but there is something I would like to ask Your Empress."
Houtu:
"Speak."
Xuandu spoke slowly, his voice calm:
Has Your Empress forgotten someone?
Houtu was taken aback:
Who is it?
Xuandu spoke slowly and deliberately:
" Zhen Yuanzi."
As the three words fell, a sudden stillness descended Samsara Seal.
Houtu's pupils constricted slightly.
She gazed at Xuandu, a flicker of disbelief flashing deep within her Chaos Color eyes:
" Zhen Yuanzi?"
" Fellow Daoist is referring to Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals?"
Xuandu nodded:
"Exactly."
Houtu frowned slightly.
"Although Zhen Yuanzi is the Ancestor of Earth Immortals and I have some acquaintance with him, he is ultimately Innate Deity. What does he have to do with the Earth Dao?"
She paused, a hint of doubt in her voice:
"Even the Earth Book in his hand is nothing more than Innate Spiritual Treasure. Although it contains the Great Earth Origin, how can it possibly complete the Earth Dao?"
Xuandu smiled slightly upon hearing this.
The smile was faint, yet it carried a profound understanding that saw through everything.
" Your Empress."
He spoke slowly, his voice calm:
" Your Empress, please don't forget the origin of the Earth Book in Zhen Yuanzi's possession."
Houtu was taken aback.
She gazed at Xuandu, at those eyes as calm as an ancient well, her mind racing.
Earth Book.
Zhen Yuanzi's Companion Spiritual Treasure, the Ruler of the World, Ancestor of Earth Immortals.
This book has existed since the World Creation, and it is listed alongside the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man, making it one of the most mysterious treasures of the Great Wilderness.
The Heavenly Book, the Investiture of the Gods List the Gods, was in the hands of Yuanshi.
The Human Book of Life and Death is in the hands of the Underworld, and is controlled by the Ten Palace Yama Kings.
The Earth Book has always been in Zhen Yuanzi's possession.
This book contains the Great Earth Origin, capable of mobilizing the Earth Vein Qi, suppressing mountains and rivers, and even more...
Houtu's pupils suddenly contracted.
She suddenly remembered a legend.
In the beginning of World Creation, the Great God Pangu Body Merged with Great Wilderness.
The pure rise to become the heavens, while the impure sink to become the earth.
Heaven has its Heavenly Dao, which governs the birth and death of all things.
The earth has its Earth Dao, which support the reproduction of all living beings.
But the Heavenly Dao awakened first, while the Earth Dao remained dormant for billions of yuan.
It wasn't until she Body Merged with Samsara that the Awaken Earth Dao.
Although the Earth Dao has been awakened, it remains incomplete.
Because the Earth Book is missing!
