After forging a Karma Contract with Old Ancestor Ming He and preliminarily settling on the grand plan to "Establish Reincarnation, Awaken Earthly Dao," Ming Xin no longer lingered in the Blood Sea.
He gave Styx River a slight nod in farewell, then his figure flickered and transformed into an invisible, intangible streak of escape light, quietly leaving that forbidden sea of churning crimson.
Once he left the Blood Sea's range, the suffocating filth and Killing Intent immediately lessened considerably.
After determining his direction, Ming Xin did not hesitate in the slightest. He sped straight toward the Witch Clan's current stronghold at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, toward the Witch Clan settlements in the heartland.
His target was clear—Ancestor Witch Hou Tu.
This journey was extremely risky.
The Witch Clan had just endured a great war and suffered grievous losses. They had also been forced to accept the humiliating arrangement of "demons rule the heavens, witches rule the earth," making them especially sensitive and hostile to outsiders.
And he was a Western Cultivator, especially one who had forcibly intervened on the battlefield not long ago and provoked the Witch Clan's fury—Ming Xin.
For him to come knocking now was no different from a sheep walking into a tiger's den, liable to trigger misunderstandings and an attack from all sides.
But Ming Xin had no other choice.
To Establish Reincarnation, one needed someone of immense compassion and unwavering resolve, someone whose affinity with the Earth Origin was absolute, to transform themselves into it. Only then could it succeed.
Looking across the Entire Primordial World, Hou Tu was the most qualified candidate and the only person who might be persuaded.
This concerned not only his own path of cultivation, but also whether he could seize the initiative in the Primordial World's future order
