What Is the Demonic Dao? Entertaining Houtu

Wu Chu thanked Houtu profusely, and then invited her to Purple Jade Mountain.

As for the giant centipede that had lost its Primordial Spirit, Wu Chu threw it onto the mountain peak where the Azure Dragon had once been hung after activating the Mountain Protection Array. Using the same mountain peak where the Azure Dragon had been hung to hang it was not an insult to its status.

As for what to do with the giant centipede's corpse, Wu Chu had no idea. After all, the giant centipede was different from the Azure Dragon. The Azure Dragon was non-toxic and edible, but the giant centipede... As soon as he hung the giant centipede's corpse on that mountain, the vegetation on that mountain began to wither and turn yellow, which showed how poisonous it was.

Wu Chu activated the formation that Zhen Yuanzi had set up here, isolating that mountain from the other mountains to prevent the giant centipedes from harming the creatures on the other mountains.

Houtu entering Purple Jade Mountain, Houtu turned her head and looked around with curiosity in her eyes.

The two strolled among the clouds, with Wu Chu walking beside her. It was truly difficult for him to reconcile the gentle and serene beauty before him with the previous Valkyrie, who was human-headed and snake-bodied, domineering to the extreme, and fought directly with her fists.

The contrast in their personalities is just too striking!

With her tall figure, stunningly beautiful face, cascading black hair, and gentle features, she exudes the same elegance as her temperament. A pale yellow dress further accentuates her gentle and graceful aura.

Both Nuwa and Houtu were prominent figures in the future Primordial Land, possessing unparalleled Nuwa and cultivation, yet their temperaments differed greatly.

When the two stand together, Wu Chu would think that this one is a gentle older sister, while Nuwa is a lively and mischievous younger sister.

It's clear how much Fuxi, this doting brother, spoiled Nuwa.

Of course, the biggest difference between Houtu and Nuwa is that Houtu does not have the same sense of Dao Resonance flowing through Nuwa; her aura is extremely calm and gentle.

Wu Chu estimated that this might be the reason why the Witch Clan's cultivation method differed from that of other Primordial World beings.

"When did you meet Sister Nuwa? Is Nuwa alright?" Wu Chu asked Houtu beside him, sounding a bit like he was trying to force a connection.

After all, when Nuwa was here, Wu Chu wouldn't dare to call her "sister" directly. Even if Nuwa were willing to agree, her doting brother Fuxi wouldn't.

"I don't know how long it's been, but it should be over a hundred years!" Houtu smiled slightly, then asked curiously, "What kind of being was that before? Why did we receive Heavenly Dao rewards Merit after hunting it down?"

Wu Chu shook his head and sighed softly, half-jokingly saying, "That one who calls himself the Demon Ancestor Rahu comes from the Western Land, but that is not his true self, but merely an avatar of his."

As he spoke, he pointed to the giant centipede corpse on the mountaintop, "This old centipede was originally my neighbor, the master of Tianmu Mountain, not far from here, Tianmu Daoist. Unfortunately, he was possessed by that Old Demon, his Primordial Spirit was corroded by demonic energy, and after being worn away by the Merit Power, his Primordial Spirit also dissipated. I did not intend to kill him, but he died because of me."

Houtu glanced at him, then said, "That guy claimed to have cultivated the Devil Dao and wanted me to follow him, saying it would grant me immortality and eternal life. But clearly, he lied. If he were truly that powerful, he wouldn't be able to be restrained by the Merit Power."

Houtu looked on with curiosity, "The Devil Dao? Fellow Daoist, do you know what the Devil Dao is?"

Wu Chu shook his head again, "I'm not quite sure either. Sister, you should have been able to sense the characteristics of the power that Demon Lord used when you fought him before."

Houtu said thoughtfully, "Violence and malice... easily cause one's mind to wander and become easily angered, which seems to easily affect Primordial Spirit and emotions."

Wu Chu nodded slightly. "The Devil Dao is the path of evil power that gathers all negative forces into one. This Old Demon cultivates the Dao of Slaughter within the Devil Dao, which is tyrannical, insidious, and ruthless. This is only his avatar; according to his own introduction, his true self also wields a supreme weapon of destruction— the Godslayer Spear! No living being in the world can rival it."

Houtu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "If he's so powerful, why doesn't he stand up and fight against the Three Clans? A person who would do such a despicable thing can't be very good!"

Clearly, the current Witch Clan is unaware of who the Demon Ancestor is.

Although Houtu's cultivation was extremely powerful after she created the Reincarnation Land in the future, she is still quite far behind Old Demon like the Demon Ancestor.

During this period, if you were to ask who possessed the strongest cultivation on this vast land, this Old Demon would claim to be second, and probably no one would dare to claim to be first.

Even the future Dao Ancestor had to join forces with many people to destroy him. And it seems that in the end, he was not completely destroyed, but was instead allowed to escape into the Primordial Chaos.

I wonder if, in the future, when the Houtu recalls these words spoken today, she will be so ashamed that she will kill him to silence him?

Wu Chu was thinking about something rather nonsensical.

Therefore, to avoid being silenced in the future, Wu Chu could only nod in agreement, "Sister is right. How can such a despicable person be worthy of being called an ancestor? He's exaggerating too much!"

"Cowhide? What does that mean?"

Wu Chu scratched his head involuntarily and explained what bragging meant, which made the future Houtu cover her mouth and laugh.

If it were Nuwa instead, she'd probably be laughing her head off right now.

The two rode the clouds and mist all the way back to the Summit of the Sacred Tree, where Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox immediately came to greet them, with the Fat Dog and the Little Deer Cub following behind.

"A Chu... Brother, are you alright? And who is this lady?"

Wu Chu didn't mind Little Moon Spirit's way of addressing him and introduced her with a smile, "This is Sister Houtu, a good friend of Sister Nuwa. Thanks to Sister Houtu's help, our Purple Jade Mountain was able to escape this calamity. Quickly thank Sister Houtu."

Houtu waved her hand modestly and said, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me! Even without my intervention, you could have hunted it down; it would just have taken a little more time."

Wu Chu wasn't really confident about hunting down his opponent, although Yibao was indeed terrifying when she went berserk, which refreshed Wu Chu's understanding of her and made him realize that this Merit Supreme Treasure, Yibao, was actually ridiculously strong.

Her only weakness might be that she consumes Merit points.

I don't know if other Merit Supreme Treasure consume Merit. If I have the chance in the future, I can ask about that Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Pagoda.

Of course, it's also possible that demonic energy and Merit are incompatible, so...

However, even though Yibao was very strong, the opponent was, after all, Demon Ancestor Clone, and not so easy to deal with. He was even prepared to start his Wandering Plan after driving the opponent away.

But plans can't keep up with changes. Who would have thought that the future Houtu would actually come here? Although it's still unclear what her purpose is, since she was guided by Sister Nuwa, she obviously wouldn't come with malice.

If they came with malicious intent, she wouldn't have offered help in the first place.

Wu Chu didn't ask her purpose for coming; he simply treated her with the highest level of hospitality available at Purple Jade Mountain. The Dragon Meat was roasted and sprinkled with spicy powder made from ground Evodia seeds; Dragon Bone Ginseng Wine was served in a crystal-clear jade cup; various other spiritual fruits were presented, along with a stack of steamed flatbreads...

Houtu ate with great relish, gradually abandoning her previous ladylike demeanor and revealing her true foodie nature. She secretly compared the dishes to those made by Nuwa and discovered that Nuwa's culinary skills were indeed inferior to those of this Little Moon Spirit.

This made Wu Chu feel proud: all foodies will find delicious food irresistible!

Houtu's hearty eating habits and her occasional compliments to Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox instantly energized the two adorable Little Chef.

Of course, the Little Fox mainly assisted Little Moon Spirit, and her cooking skills were only barely passable, with the gap between her and Little Moon Spirit widening.

The stove fire in the kitchen never went out from afternoon until midnight.

After a hearty meal, Houtu burped, clutching her slightly bulging belly. Houtu then did she realize her earlier lapse in decorum. She gave Wu Chu an awkward yet polite smile, then directly stated her purpose and presented a priceless Supreme Treasure that Wu Chu coveted.
