: Fear from the Past

Chapter 98: Fear from the Past

The reason is simple: the Queen Mother of the West is also a god of the Western Kunlun Mountains. Even though the Western Kunlun Mountains are not as powerful as the Eastern Kunlun Mountains, it is impossible for her not to sense the birth of the Kunlun Mountain God.

If it wasn't the Kunlun Mountain God who was born, then why were the Three Pure Ones in such a panic?

Houtu fell into deep thought. Unlike Zhujiuyin's wisdom, which was based on prophecy through the Great Dao of Time and information asymmetry, Houtu's wisdom was entirely based on her own mind.

It was Houtu who proposed abandoning the Innate Witch Clan project and instead creating an infinite number of Acquired Witch Clans.

At first, some ancestral witches disagreed, believing that how could an acquired race compare to an innate one? Only beings who were favored by the Great Dao innately deserved to become witches.

However, Houtu insisted on replacing the innate with the acquired, and out of affection for her younger sister, the other ancestral witches acquiesced to this plan.

And as it turned out, Houtu was right. With the cultivation of numerous acquired witch clans, more and more acquired great witches were born, even exceeding the number of the dozen or so innate great witches.

Furthermore, the reproductive capacity of the acquired witch clan is incomparable to that of the innate witch clan. There is a saying that, although not entirely accurate, contains a lot of truth: quantity equals potential, and potential equals strength.

The more numerous the quantity, the greater the potential; the greater the potential, the stronger the power!

Only then did many of the Ancestral Witches realize how powerful Houtu's foresight and wisdom were. Even Zhujiuyin would consult with Houtu first before informing Dijiang when he encountered certain matters.

Indeed, even the dignified patriarch of the Wu tribe, Dijiang, was unable to have a discussion with Zhujiuyin and Houtu; he could only be informed.

"Could it be that this newly born being is a very close friend of the Three Pure Ones? There's no need to be so alarmed—or perhaps this Great Luo has a special relationship with them, which is why he revealed his emotions in a moment of panic?"

That's for sure!

It must be said that Houtu indeed possesses extremely strong observational skills. After just a little thought, she immediately grasped the matter to a high degree of accuracy. If she were to think about it further, she could probably guess that it was Guang Chengzi.

Speculation is like finding the right thread in a huge mess, then gradually unraveling the tangled mess to get the so-called truth.

But it wasn't just Houtu who had such a clever mind; someone like Dijun had far more thoughts than the entire Wu tribe combined.

Having observed the entire prehistoric world beforehand, he already knew that the being born was Guang Chengzi.

After all, the West was already in ruins and could no longer block out the light of the sun and moon. How could it possibly escape the scrutiny of this Sun Star Lord? It is likely that everything in the West is as clear as the lines on the palm of Di Jun Taiyi's hand.

Even while respecting Jieyin and Zhunti, Dijun would not forcibly pry into the secrets of the West, but he would always pay attention to the fluctuations in the West's fortune.

When Guang Chengzi led millions of cultivators to the West and even spread the path of spiritual cultivation, Di Jun had already taken notice of this junior.

Unlike others who look down on those who are born with talent, Di Jun can be considered one of the top gods in the entire prehistoric world who pays the most attention to races that are born with talent.

This is naturally because although the demon race has included the innate hundred races, and some have even become nobles among demons, the nearly infinite number of races is not something that these mere hundred races can fill.

This naturally includes countless ancient and acquired races, and the demon race has become a collection of destiny. As the patriarch of the demon race, Di Jun must pay attention to everything about the acquired races.

Even in the most obscure sense, Di Jun could be considered a representative of the acquired, a being that even the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not compare to.

After all, although there are acquired witch clans within the witch clan, it is only one family, while the Three Pure Ones have never had any connection with the acquired ones, so how can they compare to Emperor Jun?

Therefore, Di Jun also understood the immense potential contained in the acquired path, so when he looked at Guang Chengzi, he already regarded him as an existence of the same level.

To dare to travel alone to the West at such a young age to save the destroyed continent—such a spirit, as long as he lives, his future achievements will surely be limitless.

Therefore, under his watchful eye, Di Jun naturally witnessed the series of events that followed, which ultimately led to the gathering of three thousand mortals at Kunlun Mountain.

"This aura—it seems to be about morality, doesn't it?"

Surrounded by numerous powerful figures, Di Jun held a cup of spiritual tea in his hand and said with a half-smile, "I have heard that my senior brother is also known as the Supreme Moral Celestial Venerable. I never imagined that he would actually cultivate a true Moral Great Luo. I am truly impressed."

Upon hearing that Di Jun had actually revealed Guang Chengzi's background, Yuanshi Tianzun, though worried about the safety of his disciple, immediately became displeased.

To publicly explain to others what kind of Great Dao they cultivate is tantamount to directly reverting them to their original form. This is an act that lacks both manners and is most disliked by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

But after Di Jun said these words, it immediately caused an uproar among the gods present. Some of the gods even had a cold glint in their eyes and a hint of killing intent on their bodies.

If it weren't for the deterrent effect of these six disciples of the sages, preventing them from acting recklessly, some of them would probably already be drawing their swords and rushing to the Eight Views Palace to kill that Great Daoist of Morality.

This is morality among the Five Virtues, and it can even be considered the foremost of the Five Virtues, much like the position of earth among the Five Elements.

If that were the case, it wouldn't be a big deal, and these great gods wouldn't be in such a panic. It's just that the way Morality sees through their roots and fruits is too clever. If this Great Luo is allowed to grow, no matter how they change the location of their own roots and fruits, they probably won't be able to hide it from the other party's attention.

To put it bluntly, the appearance of a Moral Great Luo could even change the current Great Luo landscape of the prehistoric world.

Those powerful immortals who used to act recklessly because they were alone are now deterred by the power of the Great Immortal of Morality and dare not be as crazy as before. They will probably have to behave themselves and be law-abiding citizens.

If any force were to win over this Great Luo Immortal, they would immediately possess an unparalleled weapon against all Great Luo Immortals in the world, as if a sword were hanging directly over their very roots and fruits, making them feel as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throat or a thorn in their back!

Seeing that many deities were already getting impatient, an atmosphere of anxiety began to spread. Yuanshi Tianzun could not hold back any longer and immediately let out a cold snort.

As the cold snort of the Primordial Celestial Venerable resounded, a terrifying aura instantly filled the world. The Great Luo Golden Immortals with murderous expressions felt a chill run down their spines, and even the Twelve Ancestral Witches no longer maintained their fake smiles, also becoming fully prepared, as if they had returned to that bloody massacre.

How could they forget how terrifying the Primordial Celestial Venerable was?
