The Ancestral Witch Houtu, the Scheme of the Underground Passage

Chapter 81 The Ancestral Witch Houtu, the Scheme of the Underground Passage

Hongyun didn't say anything, but just looked at Dijun with a smile.

Di Jun felt a chill in his heart.

He instantly realized that Hongyun had seen through his previous scheme.

They forced Hongyun, who had not yet attained sainthood, to hide in various places.

He then sent Fuxi to the East Sea to probe the situation and use the Kunpeng to vent his anger.

Hongyun is using this to put pressure on the Heavenly Court.

This person is really petty.

She still hasn't forgotten what happened before, and even took the opportunity to extort money from him at his wedding.

Di Jun took a deep breath, suppressing the sadness in his heart, and cupped his hands to Hong Yun, "Thank you, Ancestral Buddha Hong Yun, for taking care of the demon master of the demon race."

As the other party is a saint, he must endure for the sake of the demon race.

Once he attains sainthood, he will surely lead ten thousand demon soldiers to flatten the East Sea!

Let us record this cause and effect for now.

However, just as Di Jun was trying to hold back, Kunpeng had already regained his senses.

Seeing the holy gazes of the surrounding demon race, Kunpeng's face flushed red, and without saying a word, he disappeared from the Heavenly Court.

Having spent countless years in the East China Sea, he has seen through many things.

They no longer held any hope for the Heavenly Emperor Jun and others.

"That's outrageous!"

Yuanshi looked displeased in the direction where Kunpeng had disappeared, and his contempt for the demon race grew even stronger.

A bunch of ill-mannered creatures hatched from wet eggs, covered in fur and armor!

Gui Xuan sat in his seat, ignoring the cause and effect between Hong Yun and Di Jun below.

If Hongyun, as a sage, couldn't even handle Dijun, who hadn't yet become a sage, then all his efforts in nurturing him had been in vain.

The Grand Sage Taiqing, who had been sitting on the auspicious cloud for a long time without speaking, slowly opened his mouth, "Such a scene, with all the sages gathered together and the Dao Ancestor Guixuan here, why don't we have a discussion on the Dao, which can also be regarded as a congratulatory gift for the Demon Emperor's wedding."

"good!"

"good!"

The saints nodded.

Di Jun was overjoyed.

When sages discuss the Dao, it is a rare and opportune moment.

This lecture covers three cycles.

Gui Xuan sat cross-legged in the Heavenly Court, silently listening to the teachings of the sages.

Absorb their most fundamental principles.

At this time, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa had already become saints, and had long since gained new insights into the laws and their own Daoist practices.

Hearing them preach again, Gui Xuan benefited greatly, and he fully comprehended each and every principle.

Beihai, Abbot Fairy Island.

Gui Xuan, who had returned from Heaven, sat cross-legged on the island.

Before him stood Zhen Yuanzi, holding the Earth Book, his eyes closed in meditation.

Five thousand yuan had passed since Emperor Jun's wedding.

After experiencing the Holy War and the appearance of the Heavenly Marriage, the primordial world has generally returned to peace.

Only the two major races, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, frequently clash.

However, because of the rule set by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the ten thousand yuan gathering period had not yet expired, both clans were restraining each other.

Furthermore, Buddhist temples were established in various places by the East China Sea Buddhist community in order to prevent the orthodox teachings of the sage from being implicated.

The two races were unable to fully engage in combat, which gave other races in the prehistoric world a chance to catch their breath.

It is worth mentioning that the human population increased to over 10 billion during this period.

Their numbers are found throughout the vicinity of the East China Sea.

Under the control of the three ancestors of the human race, some humans migrated to the coast of the East Sea and formed new tribes.

The 100,000-year period mentioned by the Sage Nuwa has long passed. It's just that other races in the prehistoric world are reluctant to give way to the Sage because of her reputation and the previous care given by the Ancestral Buddha Hongyun.

They did not do anything excessive to the human race.

But the human race is simply too numerous.

With hundreds of billions of them blooming everywhere, backed by two saints, and the Hongyun Ancestral Buddha.

The three sages supported the human race.

For the sake of humanity, the ancestor of the human race specially arranged for a marriage alliance with the witch clan.

The birth of a large number of people with human-shaman bloodlines led to a surge in the number of shamans.

Gui Xuan sat cross-legged above the East Sea, deducing the secrets of the primordial world.

After a long while, Zhen Yuanzi slowly opened his eyes.

"Dao Ancestor, I have vaguely sensed the location of the Dao, but the time is not yet ripe for me to attain enlightenment."

With a tone of helplessness and a regretful expression, Zhen Yuanzi said.

Gui Xuan stopped his deductions and said slowly, "Don't panic. Of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Heavenly Path has already appeared, and the Earthly Path will soon emerge."

"It's just a matter of lacking the right opportunity."

As he spoke, he brought Zhen Yuanzi to the sky above the Wu tribe.

Zhen Yuanzi was puzzled.

But Gui Xuan spoke again, "The underground passage is of great importance, affecting billions of living beings in the entire prehistoric world, and even the most fundamental operation of the prehistoric world. You need someone to help you."

Although Zhen Yuanzi holds the Earth Book, his true form is transformed from the essence of the primordial Xu Earth.

However, compared to other deities in the primordial world, especially the Twelve Ancestral Witches, their foundation is still somewhat shallow.

He couldn't build the tunnel by himself alone.

It is necessary to rely on the Six Paths of Reincarnation established by Houtu to connect with the human realm.

Looking down at the Houtu tribe, Gui Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The Ten Golden Crows, each worth one thousand yuan, have already appeared in the world before the festival.

As the time set by Hongjun drew closer, the conflict between the Wu and Yao races resurfaced.

For the sake of the future of the Wu tribe, the ancestral witch Houtu wandered the vast land in search of a solution, but after many twists and turns, she found no way out.

He was deep in thought within the tribe at that moment.

"The union of the human race and the witch race can not only solve the problem of the continuation of the race, but also indirectly befriend the sage."

"This prevents the sage from directly attacking the witch clan, but this method cannot fundamentally solve the problem."

The witch clan is reckless, but not mindless.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches had long ago foreseen that the primordial world had become the domain of sages.

The demon race has the sage Nuwa behind them. Although the witch race has the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, which can summon Pangu to descend to earth, they are still feared by several sages because of the last battle.

In order to buy time to find a solution, we have no choice but to hold back for now and indirectly befriend the sage.

"The thirteenth Ancestral Witch is still in the process of being conceived. All the elder brothers have placed all their hopes on her, hoping to secure a holy position."

"But will the primordial sages give us this opportunity?"

As Houtu thought about the current situation in the prehistoric world, her worries became more and more obvious.

Just then, Gui Xuan appeared in the Houtu tribe with Zhen Yuanzi.

Houtu, who was inside the Houtu Palace, was startled and quickly appeared.

"Houtu pays respects to the Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

His tone was full of respect.

The Wu clan may disrespect Hongjun Daozu, but they cannot be disrespectful to Guixuan Daozu.

Indeed, among the myriad paths described by Gui Xuan, this has a significant impact on the Wu tribe and even on their twelve ancestral witches.

Even the power of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation has increased significantly due to Gui Xuan's teachings.

In comparison, they were closer to the Dao Ancestor Guixuan.

Although they had some conflicts in the past.

Gui Xuan gathered his aura and lifted Hou Tu up, saying, "No need for formalities."

"I have come here today because I sensed that an opportunity is about to arrive, so I have come to find you."

Houtu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Could it be that the opportunity that Dao Ancestor Guixuan mentioned before has arrived!?"

She had inquired about the future of the Witch Clan at the Purple Cloud Palace and the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Even Dao Ancestor Guixuan said the time was not right, so how could she not be excited when Guixuan brought it up again today?

Just as she was overjoyed, she saw Xuan shake his head.

Houtu was startled.

Gui Xuan spoke up, "Yes and no."

Houtu suppressed her distress and quickly invited Guixuan Daozu and Zhenyuanzi into Houtu Palace.

The Houtu Temple is similar to the Ancestral Witch Temple.

It was established by the twelve ancestral witches, with branch temples set up in each major tribe.

After the three of them were all seated, Houtu finally couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor Guixuan, please enlighten us!"

"Our witch clan is burdened by karma, and we are entangled with the demon clan in cause and effect. We do not know where the way out is."

He distributed 100 million Wu clansmen to the Buddhist land in the East Sea, thus leaving a trace of the Wu clan's bloodline.

But the more this was the case, the more Houtu felt that the fate of the Wu tribe would not be good.

Especially their twelve ancestral witches.

Without cultivating one's primordial spirit, death is simply death.

Even if the scraggly bird dies, as long as its true spirit remains, there is still a sliver of a chance for it to be resurrected.

Their witch clan didn't even have a chance to turn the tide.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death is simply not in Houtu's nature.

Gui Xuan looked at Hou Tu and praised her, "You see things more clearly than your older brothers and sisters."

Houtu, as the last ancestral witch to be born, was less affected by the earthly evil energy.

They are much more sensitive to certain things than other ancestral witches.

As he spoke, he set up a great array above the Houtu tribe to conceal the secrets of heaven and cover up the secrets of heaven in this place.

Houtu's expression turned serious upon seeing this.

"I have found a path for your witch clan this time, but I don't know if you are willing to take it," Gui Xuan said calmly.

Houtu stood up, bowed respectfully, and remained silent.

"Even if you lose your status as an Ancestral Witch and completely break away from the Witch Clan, are you willing?"

Gui Xuan stared intently at Hou Tu, his voice soft and drawn.

Houtu shuddered and stared wide-eyed at Guixuan.

After a long silence, her voice filled with sorrow, she said, "As long as my brothers can live, and my witch clan can be spared, Houtu is willing!"

It is simply impossible to completely preserve the Wu tribe.

Heaven will not allow it, and the sages will not allow it!

"Very well!" Gui Xuan said lightly, "Since you have such a broad mind, I will show you the right path!"

As he spoke, strands of law power appeared on Gui Xuan's body, entwining in the void.

Zhen Yuanzi, standing beside him, sensed a power and was immediately shocked.

The power of laws on Gui Xuan's body intertwined and eventually coalesced into a disc.

The disc is covered with patterns, and there is a pointer in the middle pointing in one direction.

"This was formed by me using the myriad laws of the primordial heavens, and it is named 'Compass'!"

"Ranked among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures, it possesses the ability to peer into the endless ley lines of the primordial world."

As he spoke, Gui Xuan tossed the compass toward Hou Tu and continued, "This compass can be divided into billions. Your Wu clan is born with the ability to purify the primordial earth's evil energy. Use the compass to regulate the primordial earth's vein energy and purify the primordial land."

"This is an immense merit. When the Heavenly Dao bestows its blessings upon you, you can leave a way out for the Wu Clan."

"As for your ancestral witches..."

At this point, Gui Xuan opened his palm, and twelve drops of Ancestral Witch Blood essence appeared in his palm.

This was the essence blood of the Twelve Ancestral Witches that he had asked them to leave behind when he first met them.

It is the first generation of essence blood from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and it is incomparably pure.

It is much purer than the blood essence they are currently using to nurture the witch clan by consuming the blood essence of the ancestral witches and then re-condensing it.

The essence and blood of the twelve ancestral witches appeared, before Houtu could even understand.

Zhen Yuanzi, standing behind Gui Xuan, exchanged a glance and understood.

Then twelve ginseng fruits appeared before them, flying down to the twelve drops of ancestral witch's blood essence.

Gui Xuan said, "This is the fruit that the ginseng fruit tree owned by Zhen Yuanzi of Wanshou Mountain will bear at a cost of tens of thousands of yuan. It has the power to transform into an external avatar."

"I will infuse the essence and blood of your twelve Ancestral Witches into this, refining twelve Ancestral Witch avatars to help you escape this calamity!"
