A Visitor from the Netherworld
Ao Changsheng silently looked at Pingxin, who had a kind face in front of him.
I really want to say, "Dog, you've changed."
But in the end, he didn't say it aloud; instead, he nodded.
"Of course."
Upon hearing Ao Changsheng's agreement, Pingxin's face immediately broke into an incredibly bright smile.
Final.
Ao Changsheng traded away all of his ten percent of Authority of Reincarnation for twenty sets of world origins for every one percent of Authority of Reincarnation he received.
Pingxin looked at the two hundred clusters of World Origin in his hand, and then thought about how he had lost five percent of World Origin last time, and only managed to exchange it for fifty clusters of World Origin.
Pingxin's smile grew even brighter.
For Pingxin, whether it was the Authority of Reincarnation she exchanged or the Authority of Reincarnation she received from Ao Changsheng, it was all the same and there was no difference.
Only someone like Ao Changsheng, who obtained the Authority of Reincarnation through special means, would have such troubles.
By simply exchanging the Authority of Reincarnation, she practically made a fortune this time!
On the other hand, although Ao Changsheng had sacrificed some of the world's essence, he did not feel that he had lost out.
Although he paid a significant price in the world's essence, it was as if he had gotten it for free.
Given Ao Changsheng's State of Mind, he naturally wouldn't have the idea that not gaining an advantage is a loss.
Moreover...
He can't be considered at a loss.
Ultimately...
He originally obtained this Authority of Reincarnation through illegitimate means.
Although he had never noticed anything unusual about his Authority of Reincarnation other than that it was non-transferable.
But ultimately, there are still flaws.
If there are flaws, then there is the possibility that they can be exploited.
Now, with this transaction involving Pingxin, his Authority of Reincarnation can be said to have been officially cleared of wrongdoing, making up for all his shortcomings.
Now.
He could now formally declare himself one of the Lords of Reincarnation!
A smile appeared on Ao Changsheng's lips.
A thought crossed my mind.
He then divided his own Authority of Reincarnation into two parts.
Although the Guiling is still far from being able to use the Authority of Reincarnation, he is already in this cycle of reincarnation.
So he naturally did it on his way.
Not far away, Pingxin, as the true Lord of Reincarnation, could naturally sense Ao Changsheng dividing the Authority of Reincarnation.
Although the sensation was vague, Pingxin was certain that the Authority of Reincarnation that Ao Changsheng had divided at this moment was definitely more than one percent.
Even with Pingxin and composed mind, one couldn't help but feel envious at this moment.
If she, or the Witch Race, had had a master like Ao Changsheng to guide them, Witch Race wouldn't have ended up in this state.
They remembered that they had offered Duobao in exchange for a cultivation method suitable for their Witch Race and a few words of advice from Ao Changsheng.
It's a pity.
At that time, they only saw the value of the Witch Race's method for breaking through to the Quasi-Sage level, and ignored those few words of advice.
Otherwise...
Even if their Witch Race had declined, it shouldn't have come to the point of near extinction.
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng... are you truly unwilling to accept another disciple? Our clan's Great Witch Jiufeng possesses the potential to attain Dao," Pingxin said softly.
"Pingxin Daoist Pingxin, to tell you the truth, the method I cultivate is extremely special. In the Primordial World, only a very few people possess the aptitude for cultivation."
Ao Changsheng shook his head slightly.
"Jiufeng... can't you do it?" Pingxin asked, slightly unwilling.
She wasn't joking when she spoke of the qualifications for enlightenment.
Rather, it is Jiufeng who truly possesses the qualifications to attain enlightenment.
Among all the Great Witch, Jiufeng's Witch Race bloodline is the purest, and among the billions of Witch Race, she is only slightly inferior to the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
If we were to say who among the Witch Race, besides the Twelve Ancestral Witches, is most likely to attain enlightenment, it would be the Jiufeng.
"If I could do that... I would have taken her as my disciple long ago," Ao Changsheng said softly.
Having cultivated in the Primordial World for billions of years, Ao Changsheng had only ever seen one person who could cultivate his Inner Celestial Body Opening Method: the Guiling.
All other beings in the Primordial World had no possibility of cultivation.
As for those Innate Divine Beings cultivation aptitude is considered heaven-defying.
Those Innate Divine Beings who are born as Daluo Innate are the least qualified to cultivate his Inner Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method.
I couldn't Pingxin but feel disappointed.
No wonder Pingxin wanted to push Jiufeng to Ao Changsheng as his disciple.
Before that, few people in the Primordial World knew about Ao Changsheng's disciples.
However, after that battle outside the Nine Provinces Barrier, while other powerful beings might not dare to speak for themselves, all the Sages were absolutely aware of Ao Changsheng's two disciples.
The reincarnation of the Heaven-Supporting Black Tortoise, the Guiling, and the reincarnation of the Innate Divine Beings Fuxi, the Human Race Holy Emperor, Fuxi Shi.
At this time, Guiling was only Daluo Golden Immortal, but he was protected by a body Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, making him the richest person below the level of Sage.
Even some Sage are not as wealthy as Guiling.
Now, in front of Pingxin, Ao Changsheng is even preparing to hand over the Authority of Reincarnation, something even Sage crave, to his disciple.
And there's no need to elaborate on the other Human Race Holy Emperor, Fuxi.
This is the first great being to achieve sainthood in the vast Primordial World, apart from the Pingxin who were bestowed with Primordial purple qi Hongjun Pingxin who attained enlightenment through reincarnation.
If we put the Guiling's seven Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure together with his attainment of sainthood...
In the Primordial World, probably no cultivator would choose Innate Spirit Treasure; instead, they would all choose to become saints without hesitation.
That was Sage.
Sage standing at the very top of the Primordial World.
Let alone seven Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, even ten or more, probably no cultivator would hesitate for a second.
"It's because Jiufeng is not destined to be with him!" Pingxin shook her head slightly and said.
Ao Changsheng shook his head slightly and said softly, "Pingxin Daoist Pingxin has already made arrangements for the Witch Race, so why keep keeping an eye on me!"
"How can my arrangements compare to those of Changsheng? Even my own people cannot understand me..."
Pingxin spoke, the image of Jiufeng, who had stormed off not long ago, involuntarily came to mind, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.
Ao Changsheng didn't say anything.
He naturally knew what Pingxin meant by "arrangement".
Xingtian... Chiyou... Fengbo and Yushi, as well as the original Xiangliu and the future Jiufeng.
Pingxin made some arrangements for all the remaining Great Witch of the Witch Race.
It must be said that Pingxin truly deserves to be called the Houtu of the Witch Race!
As always, he's not good at scheming.
Xiangliu needs no further explanation.
Originally, due to the Dao of Great Dao of Poison, Pingxin hesitated, which led Xiangliu to offend Ao... and offend the Holy Emperor Fuxi of the Human Race Holy Emperor, and be suppressed forever.
Other, better ones include the Fengbo and Yushi.
Currently, he works for Haotian in the Heavenly Court without pay.
Although Pingxin was present, Haotian in the Heavenly Court would not oppress the Fengbo and Yushi too much, but he diligently adjusted the wind and rain of the Primordial World Immeasurable Tribulation.
For the two Great Witch, the Fengbo and the Yushi, it would definitely be exhausting.
Xingtian and Chiyou were suppressed in the Primordial World.
With Ao Changsheng's discerning eye, he could naturally see that whether it was Xingtian or Chiyou, being suppressed was actually just a different kind of cultivation method.
The beheading and dismemberment were merely to prevent the two from advancing too much in their cultivation during this Immeasurable Tribulation, thus preventing them from breaking through.
And these are the arrangements that Pingxin mentioned.
Honestly, when Ao Changsheng saw Pingxin carrying out these plans, he was silently mourning for these Great Witch.
He could tell that Pingxin was trying her best to distance herself from those Great Witch.
They appear to be being suppressed and tortured, but in reality, they are undergoing spiritual practice under the guidance of Pingxin.
But...
Will anyone really believe this blatant attempt to distance oneself?
Instead of doing that, it would be better to make proper arrangements!
Of course, Ao Changsheng would never say such a thing directly.
"Pingxin Daoist Pingxin must also be aware of the special nature of this era, which is why he used Haotian's hand to suppress the cultivation progress of Chiyou and Xingtian."
"Ao Changsheng said softly."
"Hmm! Pingxin is not as good as Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, who managed to cultivate Fellow Fuxi into a saint before this era arrived." Pingxin nodded and said softly.
"We had no other choice but to resort to this drastic measure."
"A poor choice? Pingxin Daoist Pingxin, you jest. Although the method is crude and simple, once this Immeasurable Tribulation is over, those Great Witch will surely understand your Pingxin intentions."
"Ao Changsheng said softly."
"An Immeasurable Tribulation... is too long." Pingxin shook his head, a look of melancholy on his face.
Upon hearing this, Ao Changsheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Indeed, one Immeasurable Tribulation, five thousand yuan, six billion eight hundred million years, is too long!
In reality, whether it's Ao Changsheng, who claims to be the Great Thousand World within his body, or Pingxin, who, after reincarnation, is not Heavenly Dao Sage but is better than Pingxin, both are not true Heavenly Dao Sage.
It is already indestructible through countless eons, unaffected by any causes. What harm could it do to not only one Immeasurable Tribulation, but even billions of Immeasurable Tribulation?
Only...
Ultimately, they are too young.
Whether it was Pingxin's Houtu or his successor, or Ao Changsheng, their ages were barely one Immeasurable Tribulation.
Moreover, they all attained sainthood and became Hunyuan Daluo within this short span of one Immeasurable Tribulation.
For them... an Immeasurable Tribulation is also an incredibly long time.
In the Chamber of Reincarnation, two 'young' old monsters lamented that an Immeasurable Tribulation had lasted far too long.
On the other side.
Above the World of Reincarnation, in the Primordial World, within the Netherworld Blood Sea.
A younger Daoist priest was stepping into the Blood Sea, heading deeper into the Netherworld Blood Sea, towards the Netherworld Underworld.
Standing on white lotuses and dressed in white robes, this Daoist priest clasped his hands together in front of him, remained silent, and walked forward with his head bowed, ignoring the deadly poisonous Netherworld Blood Sea.
With each step taken, a white lotus would bloom from the Blood Sea beneath their feet, purifying the surrounding Blood Sea waters.
Countless white lotuses formed a White Lotus Bridge in this Netherworld Blood Sea.
But strangely...
Along this vast and boundless route, countless Asura Race completely ignored the existence of the White Lotus Bridge.
Even... even the Lord of the Blood Sea, the Ancestor Minghe, failed to discover the white lotus bridge that almost traversed his Netherworld Blood Sea.
Deep within the Blood Sea.
This is the gateway to the Netherworld Underworld.
However... due to the existence of the Blood Sea, this place, which was once the main gate of the Underworld, is now half-ruined, since few souls come here from this boundless Netherworld Blood Sea.
The Daoist priest arrived at this spot, gazing at the Yin Qi, sinister gate with its menacing ghosts and terrifying entrance, his eyes indifferent as water.
His gaze shifted upwards, looking at the top of the portal, and the Daoist priest softly uttered the name of the portal.
"Ghost Gate Pass!"
The moment the sound faded.
"Creak!"
"Creak!"
A piercing sound suddenly rang out from the vast and quiet depths of the Blood Sea.
With a creaking sound, the terrifying door slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black interior that was impossible to see clearly.
But in the Daoist's daze, he heard eerie wails and howls, and the pitch-black darkness before him transformed into the form of a vengeful ghost.
But a slight smile appeared on the Daoist's face. Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step and walked directly into the Ghost Gate Pass.
After the Daoist priest entered, the gates of the Ghost Gate Pass slowly closed.
All that remains is the unchanging Netherworld Blood Sea, and... that White Lotus Bridge shimmering with a faint light.
Chamber of Reincarnation.
Pingxin, who was having Pingxin conversation with Ao Changsheng, suddenly paused, and then a look of anger appeared on her face.
"How dare you!"
