Saint's Summons, Plague God's Incarnation

"Are you really a disciple of a Saint?"

Jiu Feng asked vigilantly, then she carefully examined Xuan Qing. "Judging by your attire, you do seem to be a disciple of the Mystic Gate, and you don't have any aura of the Demon Clan!"

"Genuine as can be!"

Xuan Qing quickly chimed in.

As he spoke, he revealed a bit of his Spiritual Power. Although disciples of the Three Pure Ones had slight variations in their cultivated Spiritual Power, it fundamentally contained a trace of innate pure energy.

Demons, on the other hand, had impure auras. Especially those below Grand Unity, due to their cultivation technique "Heavenly Demon Body Refining," which used the power of the Myriad Stars to temper their physical bodies. They would inevitably carry some Taiyin power. Compared to other cultivators, they were like candlelight in the dark, easily distinguishable.

Jiu Feng still didn't lower her guard and questioned sternly, "If you are a disciple of a Saint, why were you hiding in the earth veins beneath our Witch Clan's tribe?"

"This..."

Xuan Qing hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer truthfully. "Not long ago, the Demon Clan ambushed the Pan Hu Clan. The ancestor of the Pan Hu Clan, King Pan, perished, turning the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains into a poisonous miasma! I went treasure hunting and, by chance, encountered King Pan's residual soul. We reached an agreement, and I lured Demon God Xiao Mang into the deadly trap King Pan had set!"

"The price was that King Pan's residual soul gifted me two Innate Spiritual Treasures he possessed!"

As he spoke, Xuan Qing summoned the "Heavenly Gu Yuan Yu Banner" and the "King Pan Yuan Gu Sword" and waved them before Jiu Feng, adding credibility to his words.

If he lied and was discovered by the other party, the Witch Clan might mistake him for a Mystic Gate disciple deliberately instigating a war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.

Therefore, he was telling the truth!

"Xiao Mang?"

Jiu Feng frowned slightly. "So, the one Fuxi was chasing earlier was you?"

"That's right!"

Xuan Qing nodded.

Just now, he had calculated with his fingers. Less than three days had passed since he fled into the Witch Clan's territory and was subsequently taken away by Nuwa's Spiritual Power.

He had to admit, the divine abilities of Saints were truly wondrous. He had a vague feeling that he had spent nearly a thousand years in Grand Simplicity Heaven, yet only three days had passed in the Primordial World.

"Interesting!"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Feng finally withdrew her killing intent and looked at Xuan Qing with interest. "You, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, actually managed to escape from Fuxi?"

"No!"

Jiu Feng frowned again. "Your realm looks a bit strange. You seem like a Grand Unity, yet also like a Great Unity. Your physical body and Primordial Spirit have both reached the Great Unity Golden Immortal level, but your Dao Fruit still seems to be at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level!"

"Great Witch, your dharma eye is truly piercing!"

Xuan Qing did not deny it, merely silently activated the "Golden Cloud Crown" to conceal his aura.

Jiu Feng was not surprised.

She had a good relationship with Houtu among the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Houtu had also attended lectures at Purple霄 Palace and naturally knew that disciples of the Mystic Gate possessed various peculiar divine abilities and magical treasures.

"Leave quickly!"

Jiu Feng said with a stern expression. She did not want to get entangled in Saintly karma. However, she had no good feelings towards Xuan Qing, this troublemaker who had fled to their Witch Clan tribe to seek refuge. Naturally, she did not want to deal with him.

Xuan Qing, upon hearing this, tentatively asked, "May I ask if I could stay here for a while? I fear that Fuxi is still waiting near the Witch Clan's tribe to capture me!"

The excuse was readily available.

In reality, the "Plague God" authority had stopped issuing warnings, and Nuwa had just summoned him. He was certain that Fuxi had already left.

He wanted to stay to use Jiu Feng's connection to get acquainted with Qiang Liang and Houtu.

The former, as the "Ancestor Witch of Thunder," controlled the "Dutian Divine Thunder," known as the Origin of Ten Thousand Thunders. This would be of unimaginable benefit to his comprehension of the Dao of Thunder.

As for the latter, she would eventually embody the cycle of reincarnation and be considered a person of great virtue. Even if he couldn't gain merit, getting to know her would not bring him any harm.

"The Witch Clan does not welcome you!"

Jiu Feng still refused outright, her face showing a hint of sternness, as if she would personally drive Xuan Qing away if he didn't know his place.

Xuan Qing could only cup his hands and leave helplessly.

However, he wasn't too disappointed. At least he had made an acquaintance with Jiu Feng. If they met again in the future, he could at least try to build some rapport!

After bidding farewell to Jiu Feng, Xuan Qing immediately found a secluded spot, casually created a simple cave dwelling, entered it, and began studying the "Map of Mountains and Rivers"!

This treasure was an extremely rare world treasure in the Primordial World, possessing infinite power. Within the map lay a universe, vast and boundless, capable of creating life, nurturing all beings, or capturing gods and demons, and destroying everything.

Of course, it was also a map of the ancient Primordial World, recording the trends of all mountains and earth veins in the Primordial World, essentially a miniature version of the Primordial World.

Although its grade was only a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was said to be able to trap a Saint. A Heavenly Dao Saint would need a hundred years to emerge from the map after being trapped within it.

However, that was assuming they could be trapped inside!

Therefore, Xuan Qing felt that this treasure, like the "Immortal Slaying Sword Formation," was likely exaggerated. If Saints could be so easily trapped, they wouldn't be Saints!

The "Immortal Slaying Sword Formation" was similar. Although it was known as the foremost killing formation under the Heavenly Dao, if a Saint wished to leave, even with their full effort, it couldn't be retained.

"Sigh!"

Looking at the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," Xuan Qing couldn't help but sigh. "Why is it that, despite being transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, my master feels like he's not my biological child?"

The Heaven-Opening Divine Axe evolved into three Innate Supreme Treasures. Eldest Martial Uncle Grand Pure One Laozi wielded the axe handle, the "Taiji Diagram." Second Martial Uncle Primordial Lord of Heaven wielded the axe blade's transformation, the "Pangu Banner." As for his own master, he had nothing.

Similarly, the great merit obtained from Pangu's Heaven-Opening evolved into three extraordinary treasures: the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda," the "Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud," and the "Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler." The two Martial Uncles each received one, and still, there was nothing for his own master!

The "Innate Five Elements Five Directions Banner," evolved from the lotus leaves of the "Chaos Green Lotus," had its "Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner" held by the First Martial Uncle, and the "Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner" by the Second Martial Uncle. Of the remaining three banners, his own teacher still had no share.

Even among the Three Lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Man, Grand Pure One Laozi and the Primordial Lord of Heaven each held one, and the remaining one, by chance, fell into Ran Deng's possession.

If this was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence!

"Heaven's will?"

Xuan Qing couldn't help but frown slightly, looking up at the sky above. "Or is the Heavenly Dao wary of something?"

Just as he was thinking this, a familiar voice reached his ears.

"Xuan Qing, my disciple, return to Kunlun quickly!"

Although he hadn't returned to Kunlun Mountain for nearly ten thousand years, Xuan Qing still recognized the source of this voice as the Sect Master Tongtian, whom he had just been thinking about.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the Saint's summons, he immediately got up and bowed towards Kunlun Mountain.

However, he did not return to Kunlun Mountain immediately. Instead, he first evolved an Other Self spiritual light, carrying his Other Self Incarnation with the "Heavenly Gu Yuan Yu Banner."

"From now on, you shall be the Plague God!"

As Xuan Qing bestowed the authority of the "Plague God" upon his Other Self Incarnation, he also handed the unrefined "King Pan Yuan Gu Sword" to the "Plague God" incarnation.

He planned to have this "Plague God" incarnation, like Suiren Shi, contribute to the rise of the Human Race and explain the "Way of Plague" to the many human tribes.

The power of faith from the Human Race was much purer than that of other races. Xuan Qing's intention in having the "Plague God" enter the Human Race was also to have it comprehend the mysteries of Incense Godhood, laying a solid foundation for its future entry into the Heavenly Court.

"Plague God greets my true self!"

"Go!"

Xuan Qing waved his hand, and the "Plague God" incarnation disappeared. As for his true self, he followed the Saint's decree, riding a rainbow light towards Kunlun Mountain.
