Chapter 66 Houtu transforms into a being, observes the Eye of the Great Dao, and the River of Laws surges.
An endless sea of blood.
At this moment, Chen Qing looked at Houtu with a faint smile on his face. Looking at the enlightened Houtu Ancestral Witch, he couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.
Although it took thousands of years, Houtu Zuwu had already comprehended reincarnation and was able to open up the land of reincarnation. So he could take a look and see how the land of reincarnation was opened.
Perhaps he can also gain some inspiration from the opening of this land of reincarnation.
At this moment, beneath the boundless sea of blood, the Styx Ancestor quietly watched Houtu Ancestral Witch and Chen Qing, his furrowed brows never relaxing.
The Styx Ancestor was puzzled as to why these two had returned to his boundless sea of blood.
The Boundless Blood Sea is a filthy land in the primordial wilderness, and it is also a place specifically for dealing with the filth of the primordial wilderness and purifying the primordial world.
Normally, no one would come here, but today, two people did come, and neither of them were people he wanted to offend.
Before speaking of Chen Qing, let's talk about Houtu, the ancestral witch.
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, is one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan. The Witch Clan is now one of the overlords of the primordial world, and the strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches is at the level of top-tier great supernatural beings.
When the twelve Ancestral Witches join forces, they can even set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation, a formation that can rival even a saint. He knew very well that he couldn't afford to offend them.
Although he has the boundless sea of blood as his backing, if he angers the Witch Clan, even that boundless sea of blood might be evaporated.
Let's talk about Chen Qing. The Styx Ancestor watched the entire battle on the shores of the East Sea, and he knew exactly what happened.
Donghuang Taiyi, a top-tier powerful cultivator of the demon race, wielded the innate treasure Chaos Bell, yet he could not withstand two moves from Chen Qing. Later, Di Jun, carrying the Zhou Tian Star Array, was also broken by Chen Qing.
Even when the sage Nuwa finally intervened, she was still unable to defeat Chen Qing. In the end, the figure above the river of time even caused the Dao Ancestor Hongjun to appear.
Chen Qing's power is beyond his reach. If he angers Chen Qing, he might face death with just a thought. This boundless sea of blood could probably be wiped out by Chen Qing in a single move.
At this moment, the Styx Ancestor was extremely helpless, looking at Chen Qing and Houtu Ancestral Witch, he couldn't help but feel powerless.
He didn't know why these two had come to the Blood Sea, nor what they wanted to do. He dared not make any rash moves, for fear of displeasing Chen Qing.
After all, Chen Qing was too much of a threat. After that battle, all of them, these great supernatural beings, were extremely afraid of Chen Qing.
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, glanced at Chen Qing, then, without waiting any longer, flew directly to the sky above the sea of blood. She used her own power of law to open up a large space, evaporating all the original foul blood and preventing it from flowing into the space.
Deep within the sea of blood, the Styx Ancestor watched this scene, his pupils suddenly contracting, and his already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.
This sea of blood is the Daoist temple of his Styx Ancestor, and also his birthplace. Moreover, his own strength is closely related to this sea of blood.
Furthermore, the Asura race he created still needs the power of the Blood Sea for transformation.
Now that Houtu has evaporated the blood in this sea of blood, he can no longer sit still.
The Styx Ancestor was quite helpless at this moment. He did not want to come out, but now he had no choice but to.
A figure emerged directly from the depths of the sea of blood, and looked at Houtu Ancestral Witch with an unfriendly expression.
"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, what is the meaning of this? Why have you come to my Blood Sea Land to cause destruction today? My Blood Sea Land does not seem to have offended you, does it? Or is it that your Witch Clan is preparing to expand its territory into my land?"
Hearing this, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, looked at the Styx Ancestor and saw his unfriendly expression, but shook her head helplessly.
"Fellow Daoist Styx, I feel compelled to establish a place of reincarnation here today, so I evaporated a patch of blood from the Sea of Blood. I ask Fellow Daoist Styx for your assistance."
The Styx Ancestor's expression turned somewhat grim upon hearing Houtu's words. He glanced at Chen Qing, and seeing that Chen Qing made no comment, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned to look at Houtu.
"Houtu, you want to use my Blood Sea Land to create a place of reincarnation? Couldn't you at least come up with a better excuse?"
"I see that your Witch Clan is using the pretense of opening up the land of reincarnation as a pretext to specifically seize my Blood Sea Land. It seems that you are really preparing to attack my Blood Sea."
"Very well, very well, your Witch Clan is truly remarkable. The Dao Ancestor Hongjun decreed that you could not fight against the Demon Clan, yet now you have set your sights on me, attempting to seize my Blood Sea Land."
"Hmph! Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, don't think that just because your witch clan is powerful and the overlord of the primordial world, everyone should be afraid of you."
"To tell you the truth, others may fear your Witch Clan, but I, the Styx Ancestor, will not be afraid of your Witch Clan."
"This Blood Sea is my birthplace and my training ground. I never lend out this Blood Sea, and you certainly won't be able to borrow it today. As for the place of reincarnation, you won't be able to build it today either."
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, frowned as she listened to the words of the Styx Ancestor.
She was well aware of the Styx Ancestor's strength and did not want to provoke him. After all, the biggest enemy of the Witch Clan was the Demon Clan, and it would be unwise to provoke the Styx Ancestor at this time.
The Styx Ancestor is not only a great supernatural being, but also commands the Asura clan, whose strength is not to be underestimated. If a real war were to break out with them, the Styx Ancestor might lead the Asura clan to defect to the demon race, making it even more difficult for the Wu clan to face the demon race.
The Styx Ancestor completely ignored all of this, and instead looked at the Ancestral Witch Houtu with a face full of fighting spirit, and spoke again, his voice extremely cold.
"Houtu Ancestral Witch, you'd better leave now. If you leave now, I'll pretend that what you just did didn't happen. But if you don't leave and continue to occupy my Blood Sea Land, then don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying this, the Styx Ancestor immediately revealed his own spiritual treasure.
At this moment, the Styx Ancestor held two sharp swords, emanating a murderous aura. A fire lotus appeared beneath his feet, while a small flag floated above his head.
This sword is the Yuan Tu A Bi Twin Swords, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, a supreme treasure of the killing path, capable of killing without incurring karmic consequences, and extremely powerful.
This fire lotus is called the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. It is one of the four innate lotus platforms and a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. When fighting enemies, it can unleash red lotus karmic fire, which can also wear down one's own karma.
As for that small flag, it is the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Flag, one of the Five Flags of Heaven and Earth, and it is also ranked among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures, possessing the ability to control all the waters in the world.
The Styx Ancestor's innate spiritual treasures were the envy of countless people, but Chen Qing's gaze remained unchanged as he looked at them.
In his eyes, these spiritual treasures were dispensable; at his level, having them or not made no difference.
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, looked at the Styx Ancestor at this moment and saw that he had revealed all his spiritual treasures, and her brows furrowed even more deeply.
After pondering for a while, Houtu Ancestral Witch sighed helplessly and then looked at Chen Qing beside her.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, I beg you to lend me a hand. This Samsara Land must be opened up."
"After all, this is my mission. When the Father God Pangu created the primordial world, he did not create this cycle of reincarnation. As a descendant of the Father God Pangu, I must make up for it."
"All things in the primordial world cannot be reincarnated without a place of reincarnation. As a result, their true spirits can only continue to wander in the primordial world, eventually disintegrating."
"I implore Fellow Daoist Chen Qing to help me open up this land of reincarnation today."
Upon hearing this, the Styx Ancestor looked at Chen Qing with a look of doubt in his eyes, because he did not know whether what Houtu Ancestral Witch said was true or false. After all, the Blood Sea Land was of great importance to him, and he absolutely could not afford to lose it.
If Chen Qing were to speak, he would naturally believe him, after all, Chen Qing's strength and status were undeniable.
That person was someone who could speak on equal terms with Hongjun Daozu, so how could he possibly deceive him?
Furthermore, if Chen Qing really chooses to help Houtu Ancestral Witch, then what will he use to resist? He simply can't win. I'm afraid that Chen Qing can kill him with just one move.
As for this sea of blood, in his eyes it was as if it didn't exist; even if he were resurrected through the Blood God Child, it would be useless.
By then, this sea of blood will probably be gone, so how could he possibly be resurrected!
After listening to Houtu Zuwu's words, Chen Qing pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Chen Qing looked at the Styx Ancestor, then slowly spoke, his tone extremely indifferent.
"Nether River, the opening of this cycle of reincarnation is ordained by Heaven, and you cannot obstruct it. If you are afraid that the Witch Clan will come to seize your territory, then you need not worry. I can promise you again that the Witch Clan will never come to seize your Blood Sea Land."
"If the Witch Clan really comes to seize your Blood Sea Land, then I will take action and help you protect it."
"As for the Asura clan that you are worried about, there is no need to worry about it."
"You're just worried that the Asura clan won't have any members in the future! Well, after this Samsara Land is opened up, a special section will be set aside for the Asura clan so that your Asura clan can have members born."
After Chen Qing finished speaking, he glanced at the Styx Ancestor.
Seeing the look in Chen Qing's eyes, the Styx Ancestor dared not move for a moment and immediately put away all his spiritual treasures.
Just kidding. Chen Qing has already said that. If he still doesn't know when to stop, then when Chen Qing makes his move, he won't have anything to do with it.
After carefully storing away all his magical treasures, the Styx Ancestor looked at the Ancestral Witch Houtu and then slowly spoke.
"Houtu, since Senior Chen Qing has said so, I will no longer stop you. You may open up this Samsara Land on your own."
The Styx Ancestor said this helplessly. There was nothing he could do; his strength was no match for Chen Qing's. He couldn't win a fight, so he had no choice but to submit.
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, smiled slightly upon hearing the words of the Styx Ancestor.
She turned to look at Chen Qing, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, thank you for your help. Without your assistance, I don't know when I would have been able to break through this cycle of reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.
After all, thousands of years have passed since they met Houtu, so helping her one more time wouldn't hurt.
The Mirage Dragon watched quietly from the side. It couldn't help but laugh at the Styx Ancestor, who had been putting on airs earlier, now admitting defeat after just a few words from his master.
But the Styx Ancestor was, after all, a great supernatural being, and he forced himself to suppress his laughter. After all, how could a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal dare to laugh at a great supernatural being?
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, flew down into the sky, glanced at Chen Qing, the Mirage Dragon, and the Styx Ancestor, and then slowly spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, Fellow Daoist Styx, I will now begin to create this place of reincarnation, so that all living beings in the primordial world may be protected and reincarnated."
After saying this, Houtu, the ancestral witch, looked up at the sky with reverence.
"The Great Dao is above. Houtu, a descendant of Pangu, feels today that the primordial world lacks a place for reincarnation. I am willing to sacrifice myself to provide a place for the six paths of reincarnation, to establish a place of protection for all the primordial beings, so that they may be reborn."
Houtu looked up at the sky with devotion and prayed loudly to the Great Dao.
At this moment, the sky above the sea of blood was completely silent, as everyone waited for the arrival of the Great Dao.
Not long after, a pair of eyes appeared in the primordial world, staring directly at the sea of blood.
Those eyes were filled with indifference, devoid of any emotion.
All living beings in the primordial world, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a chill run down their spine the moment those eyes appeared. Even powerful saints felt terrified.
Chen Qing looked at the eyes that appeared and knew that this was the response from the Great Dao to the prayer of the Ancestral Witch Houtu.
With cold and indifferent eyes, he stared at Houtu, the Ancestral Witch. After a while, a voice rang out in the primordial world, and it was a single word: "Accurate."
When the word "Accurate" was uttered, it shook the entire primordial world and reached the ears of all living beings in the primordial world. Every living being in the primordial world heard this word "Accurate".
As soon as the word "approved" was written, the body of the ancestral witch Houtu began to shatter.
An invisible force appeared and landed directly on Houtu, the Ancestral Witch.
Chen Qing looked at the invisible force and realized that it was the power of the Great Dao.
At this moment, Chen Qing looked at the Eye of the Great Dao, and the long river of laws behind him appeared directly.
In Chen Qing's eyes, the Eye of the Great Dao was not a pair of eyes, but the endless origin of the Great Dao.
At this moment, the river of laws behind Chen Qing surged continuously, and his eyes shone with light as he began to analyze the Three Thousand Great Daos.
The Eye of the Great Dao has appeared, and the origin of the Great Dao is right before our eyes. How can we not comprehend the Great Dao at such a wonderful time?
As Chen Qing continued to observe the Eye of the Great Dao and comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos, the River of Laws behind him widened and deepened once again, and the power of the laws within it also increased considerably.
The Eye of the Great Dao was slowly receding, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Chen Qing, however, reaped considerable rewards. In just a short time, the river of laws behind him increased by one-tenth.
At this moment, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was affected by the power of the Great Dao Laws, and her own body began to shatter, transforming into a dark world.
Houtu, the ancestral witch, looked at Chen Qing and spoke her last words.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, the Six Paths of Reincarnation have been opened up, but many things are still missing. These things are entrusted to you to build. I hope that you can preserve a glimmer of hope for the Wu Clan in the future and prevent the Wu Clan from being destroyed."
At this moment, all the great supernatural beings in the primordial world, when the Eye of the Great Dao disappeared, headed directly towards the boundless sea of blood.
The six sages of the primordial era, the great supernatural beings of the demon race, the eleven ancestral witches of the witch race, Zhen Yuanzi, Pan Wang, the Thunder God, and others all appeared above the sea of blood, looking at the shattered body of the ancestral witch Houtu.
Upon hearing Houtu's final words, everyone's expressions changed.
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, entrusted Chen Qing with the responsibility of perfecting reincarnation. Who would dare to snatch it from Chen Qing?
Don't forget Chen Qing's record; it's a record earned through real battles.
The sages glanced at Chen Qing and immediately abandoned their thoughts.
The group of powerful beings looked at Chen Qing with nothing but awe and no other thoughts.
Chen Qing listened to Houtu Zuwu's words and nodded in agreement.
"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, need not worry about this matter. If the Witch Clan is truly defeated, I will take action to preserve the seeds of the Witch Clan and prevent their extinction."
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, smiled upon hearing Chen Qing's words. Her greatest worry could now be put aside. She then looked at the eleven Ancestral Witches.
"Dear brothers and sisters, when Father Pangu created the primordial world, he did not create the cycle of reincarnation. As a descendant of Father Pangu, I must complete what Father Pangu did not complete."
"Dear brothers and sisters, please don't be sad. I have simply returned to the embrace of the Father."
Hearing Houtu's words, the eleven Ancestral Witches were filled with sorrow, and tears involuntarily streamed down their faces.
"Little sister, how could you be so heartless as to abandon us?"
Unfortunately, no matter how the eleven ancestral witches cried out, they could not stop Houtu's body from being reincarnated.
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, completely shattered, transforming into the Land of Reincarnation. Within the dark space, a Six Paths of Reincarnation Wheel continuously rotated.
The dark space was cold, deep, and chilling; there was no light, only endless darkness and desolation.
