Houtu Enters the Sea of ​​Blood

Chapter 68 Houtu Enters the Sea of ​​Blood

Over the next few days, Houtu, the ancestral witch, seemed to have figured something out and traveled to various witch tribes along the Yellow River.

Huangtian Laozu accompanied him all the way, traveling between the Wu tribes belonging to Houtu.

Until they arrived at a tribe of mixed human and shaman blood, they learned that this tribe was established by Chi You, a descendant of the great shaman Wu Xian, who gathered many human and shaman people.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, suddenly brightened up.

Then.

She then summoned all the witch tribes under her command and announced that the hundreds of witch tribes and tribes with mixed human and witch blood would be merged into nine super tribes, which would be jointly managed by great witches such as Wu Xian and Xing Tian.

At the same time, it was announced that strong support would be given to intermarriage with humans.

Just as Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was preparing to return to the Pangu Palace, Huangtian, the Old Ancestor, heard her suddenly blurt out, "How wonderful it would be if all the souls of all living beings had a place to belong!"

This gave Huang Tian Lao Zu a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped something.

But it was just a little bit of an opportunity that was missing.

This also convinced Huangtian Laozu that his opportunity to attain enlightenment lay with Houtu.

This made him feel invigorated.

Just then.

A tremendous pressure suddenly descended upon the world, followed by golden lotuses emerging from the earth, auspicious clouds gathering, and purple energy stretching for three hundred billion miles.

"By the Heavenly Dao above, I am Pangu, one of the Three Pure Ones, the second disciple of the Ancestor of the Xuanmen Dao, known as the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable, also called Jade Pure Primordial. Today, I establish a sect called the Chan Sect! Chan means enlightenment. Following the will of Heaven and upholding its destiny, I openly proclaim the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is natural. I use the Primordial Treasure, the Pangu Mantle, to suppress the fortune of the Chan Sect. The Chan Sect is established!"

Boom!

Heaven responded instantly.

At the same time, countless streams of profound and mysterious merit descended from the sky and fell into the Yellow River basin.

Then, Yuanshi continued, "Those extraordinary and uniquely gifted beings of the primordial world may enter my sect and receive the orthodox Yuqing True Transmission of my Xuanmen!"

Just as the gods of the primordial world were shocked, a tremendous aura resounded throughout the heavens and earth, shaking the very foundations of the world!

"Heaven above, I am one of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, the third disciple of the Dao Ancestor of the Xuanmen, known as the Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable, whose name is: Supreme Pure Connects to Heaven. Today, I establish a sect called: the Intercepting Sect! Intercepting means seizing the secrets of Heaven. I will use the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords to suppress the fortune of the Intercepting Sect. The Intercepting Sect is established!"

Boom!

Heaven also responded to this.

Then, a great mass of profound and mysterious merit descended from the sky and fell into the Yellow River basin.

This scene greatly surprised the gods of the primordial world, who all marveled at the extraordinary talents and abundant resources of the human race, who were incredibly fortunate to be so close to a sage.

Then, the voice of Shangqing Tongtian echoed across the primordial land once more: "Heaven cherishes life, and all living beings in the primordial world who are destined may enter the gates of my Jie Sect and receive the true teachings of the Shangqing School, the orthodox lineage of my Xuanmen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of two Heavenly Saints spread across the primordial land.

Although the aura of Yuanshi and Tongtian was not as strong as that of Laozi, it was stronger than that of Nuwa when she attained enlightenment!

This made all the gods of the primordial world sigh that Heaven truly favored the true lineage of Pangu.

The Three Pure Ones of Xuanmen and Nuwa have all attained sainthood through enlightenment, and the two Western beings naturally sensed this and were extremely anxious.

However, they encountered a misfortune at this time, which forced the two senior brothers to postpone their journey to establish their religion and prove their faith.

After the two holy powers dissipated, both Huangtian Ancestor and Houtu Ancestral Witch had solemn expressions on their faces.

What they didn't know was...

Just as Yuanshi and Tongtian were proving their Dao, Taiqing Laozi was also released by Gu Changqing at the prompting of Hongjun Daozu.

at this time.

Pangu and the Three Pure Ones have all attained sainthood and are listening to Hongjun's arrangements for the star tribulation in the Chaos Purple Palace with Nuwa.

Three days later.

After arranging matters for the nine tribes, Houtu Zuwu bid farewell to Huangtian Laozu.

However, even though Houtu Zuwu had left, Huangtian did not give up his attention to Houtu Zuwu.

After parting ways with Huangtian Laozu, Houtu Zuwu did not return directly to Pangu Palace, but instead began to travel alone in the prehistoric world.

The merits of Pangu and the Three Pure Ones in establishing a great religion and attaining sainthood gave her great inspiration.

What she was thinking was...

Since the merits of Heaven enabled Pangu and the Three Pure Ones to attain sainthood, could their Wu clan, or she, also attain sainthood through merits?

Thinking of this, Houtu, the ancestral witch, felt a surge of excitement, as if she had found her direction, and her whole body was filled with energy.

however.

She quickly lost heart again.

Because the Wu tribe does not have a primordial spirit, they cannot comprehend the Dao of Heaven, and therefore cannot connect their true spirit with the Dao of Heaven.

The inability to communicate with the Heavenly Dao means that the Wu Clan cannot attain sainthood!

Among the myriad races of the primordial era.

Apart from their witch clan, almost all other races and spirits possess a primordial spirit.

Without a primordial spirit, death is true death, and it is the kind of death that means returning directly to the embrace of the Great God Pangu.

But the myriad races of the primordial era were different.

From the moment they are born, they are in a fairyland, and their primordial spirit arises spontaneously.

Even if their physical bodies die, their primordial spirits can remain in the world. In fact, beings at the Golden Immortal realm and above can use their primordial spirits to conjure up flesh and blood and be reborn.

of course.

At this time, each race had its own countermeasures, and it was hard to say whether the primordial spirit could survive in the midst of the battle.

Especially their witch clan.

They are experts at obliterating the primordial spirit.

Their attacks were accompanied by an overwhelming murderous aura.

Therefore, as long as someone is killed by their malevolent energy, their primordial spirit will basically perish instantly along with their physical body, leaving no possibility for your primordial spirit to reappear.

Perhaps it's because their attacks carry an inherent malevolent aura that the Wu clan has yet to discover the existence of souls.

But now.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, discovered it.

Humans are a race that is basically composed of beings born after birth.

After their death, their souls could not be reborn and remained in the primordial world. Under the influence of the evil energy of heaven and earth, they would evolve into fierce spirits that specifically restrained the Wu clan.

The evil spirits live on malevolent energy, and the battle bodies of their witch clan are strengthened by relying on malevolent energy.

Moreover, they can devour the souls of other living beings, or even devour each other, thereby gaining advancement.

Their witch clan's battle body is formed from malevolent energy, and magical artifacts refined with evil spirits can break through their battle body.

It's no wonder that the demon race would use a large number of human souls to refine the Slaughtering Witch Sword, which could break their Ancestral Witch Battle Body.

If the witch clan wants to survive, it must eliminate this weakness.

Should the human race be eliminated to address the root of the witch race's weakness? For a moment, Houtu, the ancestral witch, was in turmoil.

Even if the human race is wiped out, there will still be other races of beings born after that.

Their souls, once exploited by those with ulterior motives, can also pose a threat to their witch-like battle bodies.

and so.

Eliminating the human race will not solve the problem of the witch race.

The bewildered ancestral witch Houtu began to wander aimlessly across the primordial land.

until a certain moment.

She realized she had arrived near the Sea of ​​Blood.

As she got closer, she saw a scene that shocked her.

All I saw was...

Within the boundless sea of ​​blood, countless souls of those born after birth struggled and wailed.

The overwhelming resentment soared to the heavens, and upon witnessing this scene, she instantly felt a chill run through her body.

How could there be so many souls in this sea of ​​blood?

Houtu, the ancestral witch, thought with some horror.

Just then, a portion of the sea of ​​blood in front of her suddenly surged out and transformed into a man in a blood-red robe.

"The Witch Clan?" the man muttered, then asked Houtu.

"Which ancestral witch of the witch clan are you, sir?"

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, gave him a puzzled look, then asked, "The Styx River?"

"Yes and no! I am the evil corpse of the Styx Ancestor, transformed into an Asura!" Asura explained.

She knew a little about the great supernatural beings in the primordial world and their methods of proving their Dao by severing their corpses.

and so.

She didn't ask any further questions about the relationship between Asura and Styx.

However, after observing him for a while, she noticed the problem.

"This... is the Asura race you created?" Houtu asked with a look of surprise.

"Haha~! Not bad, what does Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, think of my Asura clan and the human race created by Nuwa?" Asura asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Houtu laughed.

"So that's why your physical body seemed so strange; it turns out you were created by the Nuwa clan!"

Hearing this, Asura was immediately displeased and asked unhappily, "Hmph, Houtu Ancestral Witch, why don't you tell me what your purpose is in coming to my Blood Sea!"

Originally aimless, Houtu asked curiously after seeing the countless vengeful spirits in the sea of ​​blood.

"I want to know what happened to those vengeful spirits?"

As Houtu spoke, she couldn't help but look towards the countless vengeful spirits at the sea of ​​blood.

Ashura followed her gaze and saw countless vengeful spirits struggling and wailing in the sea of ​​blood before being swept away and disappearing into it.

After a certain number of vengeful spirits disappeared, a new member was born into his Asura clan.

"Those were not taken by me; they came to the Sea of ​​Blood on their own. It has nothing to do with me!" Asura said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Houtu's eyes lit up.

She suddenly realized that since the soul cannot regenerate itself like the primordial spirit, why not help them to be reborn?

One person's effectiveness may be limited, but if a system were created that could reincarnate and rebirth all the souls in the primordial world, its efficiency would surely change the world!

Thinking of this, Houtu, the ancestral witch, smiled slightly.

"Asura, what do you think if I were to create a sacred land here where vengeful spirits could be reincarnated and reborn?"

"No, I disagree!"

Ashura rejected Houtu's suggestion without even thinking about it.

joke!

A significant portion of the Asura race are formed from the combination of vengeful spirits and seas of blood.

For the Asura race, establishing a so-called place that grants souls the ability to reincarnate is undoubtedly digging their own grave.

Therefore, he would never agree with the views of Houtu Zuwu.

Hearing this, Houtu was somewhat perplexed.

Fight! She definitely can't beat them all by herself.

Even if she called for help, Houtu probably wouldn't be able to do much against the Blood Sea and the Styx.

You should know that the Styx River is known as an immortal river that is as long as the sea of ​​blood never dries up!

Their witch clan already has the demon clan as a major enemy, so it would be unwise to offend a top-tier powerful being as well.

Houtu thought for a moment, and finally said, "How about this: after these souls are reincarnated, allow some of them to be reborn as your Asura race. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Ashura's eyes lit up.

He knew better than anyone the Asura race's weaknesses, which were incomparable to those of the human race.

Now that there is this opportunity to create a perfect Asura race, he naturally cares about it.

but.

He maintained a calm expression and said, "Not enough!"

Upon seeing this, Houtu frowned.

He then glanced at Asura with displeasure, before saying helplessly, "Add another portion of Heavenly Dao merit!"
