Houtu's Scheme, the Earthly Dao Must Rise Too

The Heavenly Dao Sage, including Yuanshi, Tongtian, and the Two Western Sages, were all shocked as they watched Laozi streak across the sky like a shooting star.

Without exaggeration, Laozi was absolutely the most powerful Sage among them.

How could Houtu beat him so badly?

At this moment, all the saints clearly realized that Houtu was not on the same level as them.

"Taiqing was far too arrogant, fighting Houtu in Houtu Netherworld. If it had been somewhere else, perhaps he wouldn't have suffered such a humiliating defeat."

The Jieyin had a smile on his face, which looked like he was gloating, but he was quite restrained.

"It's such a pity that we had a feud with the Witch Clan before, otherwise we could have formed a good relationship with Houtu." Zhun Ti said with great regret, as he had originally planned to make some schemes in the Netherworld.

But now it seems that a long-term plan is needed.

"Damn it! This guy has actually become this powerful!?"

Laozi flew into the heavens, disappeared into the clouds, and stopped. His face was extremely pale, his expression shifting between light and dark until it turned ashen.

He knew that Houtu was special and different from them. Houtu was an Earthly Dao incarnation and representative, belonging to the same type as the Dao Ancestor.

I thought that since the Earthly Dao had just been completed and Houtu had only recently become a saint, she shouldn't be too strong. I never expected that she would already be far stronger than me!

This reminds Laozi of when I faced Ling Xiao; Houtu is just that powerful now.

"Your power isn't necessarily a good thing..."

Laozi regained his composure, watching Houtu grow stronger step by step; he guessed that Dao Ancestor was even more anxious than he was.

Thinking about this, he felt much calmer.

If you can't handle it, just leave it to the Dao Ancestor; he's done his best anyway.

I've been doing my best from beginning to end.

But the results were minimal.

Purple Heaven Palace.

Seeing Laozi's fate, Hongjun was speechless. His most promising and reliable eldest disciple had changed.

He began.

They do all sorts of incomprehensible things.

He fought Houtu in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Houtu in the Netherworld.

What are your thoughts?

The Six Paths of Reincarnation originated from Houtu's self-sacrifice. In the Netherworld, Houtu, as the representative of the Earthly Dao, possesses boundless magical power.

Simply put, he's an underground war god.

As long as they are in the Netherworld, let alone Laozi, even if he himself descended to the Netherworld, it would be difficult for him to do anything to Houtu.

However, although Houtu is powerful, she is not invincible.

The Sage's primordial spirit resides in the Heavenly Dao, while Houtu's primordial spirit resides in the Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If she leaves there, Houtu will lose her powerful magic.

For this reason, she is not a major threat to Hongjun. Even if Houtu is powerful, she is still limited.

It's not the kind that has no limitations and runs wildly wherever it goes; those are the ones that cause headaches.

However, the only change is that Houtu made a vow to the Great Dao. Whether there were any unknown changes involved is still unknown at present.

Hongjun's gaze was deep and unfathomable as he pondered incessantly. The Jade Plate of Creation within his body rose and fell, emitting waves of energy.

Then, his eyes flashed, and he thought of Haotian and Yaochi.

"It's time to establish Heavenly Court..."

Hongjun thought to himself, and immediately sent a telepathic message to all the saints, asking them to come to the Purple Heaven Palace for a meeting.

In the Netherworld, Houtu slapped Laozi away, leaving Qiangliang, Xuanming, Zhurong dumbfounded, as if in a dream.

When did their Witch Clan become so powerful that Laozi could even beat me?

They had expected Houtu to be powerful, after all, she was Sage, but they never imagined she would be this powerful.

"Little sister! You're amazing! Even Laozi can't beat you!" Xuanming Ming said with a smile, somewhat excited.

Qiangliang and Zhurong cheered repeatedly, their excitement evident in their expressions.

During this time, there was no movement from Houtu, and they all thought it was hopeless.

Thankfully, we made it out.

It was a false alarm.

Houtu looked at the Three Ancestors witches, sighed inwardly, and then her expression became serious.

"When I was away, did you all disrupt the Reincarnation?"

She asked calmly, her gaze sharp and scrutinizing.

Upon hearing this, the smiles on Qiangliang, Xuanming, and Zhurong's faces froze, and they looked at each other.

Houtu's sudden action caught them somewhat off guard.

"Sister, well... that's true. I'm just annoyed. You worked so hard to create this Reincarnation of reincarnation, why are you reincarnated as a beast among the demon race, while my fellow Witch Clan can't Reincarnation?"

Qiangliang stepped forward, readily admitting the truth, and said with an indignant expression.

I feel deeply resentful.

Houtu shook her head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Is this why you disrupted the Reincarnation?"

Qiangliang nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Little sister, don't blame Qiangliang. Actually, I was involved too," Xuanming advised, feeling a little embarrassed and realizing he hadn't been mature enough.

Houtu remained calm and continued, "From now on, no matter who it is, they will never be allowed to interfere with the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Don't worry, little sister, it won't happen again." Xuanming's heart tightened, and he said solemnly.

At that moment, she realized that Houtu was no longer the Houtu she once was.

A barrier has already formed between them.

Houtu is now the ruler of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a great being capable of striking down Sage.

Qiangliang didn't say anything, he just turned his head away, as if he was sulking.

Houtu, seeing this, did not offer much explanation. Given the level of understanding that Qiangliang and the others Qiangliang, it would be difficult for them to comprehend the true meaning of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and it would be difficult for them to explain it clearly. So she simply stopped talking about it.

Her gaze shifted slightly as she looked towards the Six Paths of Reincarnation, pondering Laozi's purpose in coming here earlier.

Even if she were to slumber during this period, the major events that occurred in the Primordial World would not be kept from her Houtu Realm. She could learn about them all with just a thought.

"Human Race, the struggle for Human Path... Is the Heavenly Dao about to take action against Human Path?"

Houtu had a sudden flash of inspiration, and her expression became serious. At this moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind.

She was like a peerless deity, standing tall in the netherworld.

After a short while, Houtu made up her mind.

"We cannot let Hongjun succeed so easily."

Houtu thought to herself, her gaze sharp, which made Qiangliang, Xuanming, Zhurong somewhat afraid.

They assumed Houtu was still angry about what had just happened.

You can't get through it, huh?

"You might as well just put me into the Reincarnation..."

Qiangliang thought to himself that he had overacted and should apologize properly.

Houtu withdrew her gaze and looked at the Ancestral Witch, uttering a startling statement. "I need you to be reincarnated Human Race."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanming, Qiangliang, and Zhurong were immediately shocked.

They looked at each other, bewildered, some even wondering if they had misheard.

What does this mean?

What is the punishment for disrupting the cycle of Reincarnation?

Qiangliang was completely bewildered, deeply suspecting that Houtu might have overheard his thoughts.

"Stop joking, I was just kidding!"

He has food, drink, and fun now; why would he want to be reborn Human Race and go to his death?

"Sister, are you joking? How can our Ancestral Witch be reincarnated?" Zhurong Rong asked with a sheepish smile, but deep down she felt that Houtu had a way, otherwise she wouldn't have said that.

Don't be ridiculous, wouldn't reincarnation mean giving up the body of Ancestral Witch?
