This is so dishonest!

Chapter 337 The Heart of "Pangu", Houtu Enters the Netherworld!

According to Fuxi's original plan, the Qilin were to bear the weight of heaven and earth and eventually become part of the Great Luo Dao Fruit, thereby taking the opportunity to touch the Great Luo opportunity and attain enlightenment and transcendence.

Currently, the plan is halfway complete.

The Five Elements Qilin Kings truly transformed along with Nuwa's growth, becoming part of the Great Luo Dao Fruit.

However, they have not completely escaped the influence of Nuwa's Great Dao and cannot completely transcend the world of mountains and seas.

This has led to the current awkward situation—if we withdraw, the initial investment will be lost; if we don't withdraw, who knows when we'll achieve enlightenment and transcendence.

"Perhaps we can cooperate with Nuwa."

After pondering for a moment, the White Tiger God said, "The Great Luo Universe is one of the Great Luo Dao Fruits. Great beings can form their own worlds, while small beings can be contained within a mustard seed. It has the ability to transform in countless ways."

"It doesn't matter if Tu Xing Qilin and the others can't bring their achievements back; the whole world can bring them back."

"As long as Nuwa is willing to cooperate with our Qilin clan, we can allocate some resources to the Mountain and Sea World to help it continue to transform, thereby further promoting the advancement of Earth Qilin and others."

"Yup!"

Bai Ze nodded and said, "Actually, we can also try to win over Fellow Daoist Nuwa."

"The Five Elements Qilin are the Great Luo Supremes in the Mountain and Sea World, so to some extent, the Mountain and Sea World is their Great Dao Domain."

"If Fellow Daoist Nuwa could grant some authority, or bring the Mountain and Sea World to the prehistoric world and let it roam the entire battlefield, and bring any enemies it encounters into the world, then let the Five Elements Qilin complete the circle kicks on the enemies."

"This way we can make good use of the Great Luo's combat power."

As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more methods than difficulties.

The Qilin clan's deities engaged in a groundbreaking discussion, offering their insights on the combat effectiveness and transcendence of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) of the Qilin.

"Besides these five fellow Daoists, we also have other fellow Daoists cultivating the Great Dao of Earth and Wood, which has transformed into a vast world."

"We also need to discuss how to help them achieve the most crucial transcendence."

The Qilin Clan has lost some of its top-tier combat power, so it naturally needs to constantly replenish its ranks with fresh blood.

Winning over independent cultivators is one aspect, while cultivating one's own people is another.

At this point, all the gods turned their gazes to the silent [Eternal Life God] Zhen Yuanzi.

"Fellow Daoist, do you have a good plan?"

As the founder of the Civil Engineering Great Way, Zhen Yuanzi, the "Longevity God," is the most qualified to speak on this matter.

"The final completion of the Civil Engineering Avenue will take a little more time."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhen Yuanzi said slowly, "Don't worry, everyone. I plan to go to the Mountain and Sea World to investigate and thoroughly study the state of the Five Elements Qilin Kings. When I return, I will be able to deduce the subsequent path."

"I can't say that it will really make my Qilin clan soar to new heights, but at least it can cultivate a few high-ranking members to fill the vacancies."

"That's good, that's good!" Shi Qilin and the others were very satisfied with this.

Does Zhen Yuanzi really not know the method of attaining enlightenment and transcending the mortal realm?

of course not.

The Earth Immortal Path is an advanced version of the Earth and Wood Path.

The process of how a terrestrial immortal attains the Great Luo realm can simply be replicated by the Qilin clan.

But wouldn't that just confirm that Zhen Yuanzi is a spy for the Immortal Path?
Although the appearance of the Earth Immortal may have aroused suspicion among some of the higher-ups in the Qilin Sect, as long as there is no concrete evidence, they can continue to live their lives on both sides.

Revealing his identity too early would not do Zhen Yuanzi any good.

[Let's postpone this for now. This Great Dao of Earthly Immortals cannot be left untold, but it cannot be passed on directly either. We need to study and improve our strategy.] Zhen Yuanzi thought to himself.

We definitely need to help the Qilin clan cultivate strong individuals.

After all, helping the Qilin Clan now is helping the future lineage of Earth Immortals, and even more so, helping Zhen Yuanzi himself.

Walking the Great Dao alone is not unique to the primordial world. Only when more and more fellow Daoists seek the Great Dao together and achieve mutual benefit can sustainable development be achieved!

Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of all earth immortals, wants more earth immortals to embark on this path in the future.

Who the earth immortal is is not important.

~~~
In the far west, at the Kaiming Mountain.

Houtu erected twelve altars.

Each altar bears the name of a shaman god.

Houtu transformed into a human with a snake's tail, with seven arms on her back, wielding seven-colored magical artifacts, and holding a cauldron of earth in front of her with both hands.

"How great is the power of the earth, from which all things are born!"

A melodious yet desolate tone echoed through Kaiming Mountain. Houtu held up the Earthly Cauldron, drawing in seven-colored light from the vast expanse of time and space.

These rays of light, like fireflies streaking through the sky, converged and fell into the cauldron, gradually condensing into the shape of a transparent heart.

Looking at the transparent heart, Houtu smiled slightly, a very bright smile.

"Come!"

Seven arms behind her swayed like a peacock in flight, and a drop of essence blood floated out from each of the twelve altars, merging into the cauldron.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

A moment later, the strong, powerful heartbeat sounded like a drumbeat, as if it were the pulse of the earth.

When Houtu infused her own essence and blood into her heart, the heart transformed from transparent to real, and its beating became even more powerful.

"very good!"

Houtu watched as the heart inside the cauldron beat powerfully, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the calmest yet most thrilling thing she had ever done since she started writing mythological scripts—faking Pangu's heart!
The sorcerer god is a thing of the past; now, the twelve ancestral sorcerers, formed from the essence of Pangu's blood, will take the stage!

Houtu dared not speak out, but could only silently pray in her heart.

Even so, she still felt a little guilty and cautiously glanced at the sky. No divine punishment descended.

No giant axe of Pangu flew in from beyond the heavens.

【Good, this means that Father Pangu has tacitly agreed!】 Houtu was under a lot of pressure, but this was the only thought she could have.

She needs to bolster her courage.

You can't do big things if you don't have guts.

"No rush, take it one step at a time. Next, we need to summon the souls of a few fellow Daoists."

Houtu took a deep breath to calm herself down.

The innate deity fabricated his origins; it's quite simple.

Becoming stronger is also very simple.

The Three Pure Ones have already provided the answer—just align yourself with the creator god Pangu.
There is a tiny bit of risk in doing this.

"After this job, I'll inevitably have to go to the Creation Era." Houtu knew that doing big things also required passing an assessment.

The Three Pure Ones only received the blessing of "Pangu's One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones" after being corrected by the Great God Pangu.

What she's doing now is no easier than what Sanqing did.

He might actually get struck down by Pangu.

"Great God, please have mercy. Even if you want to kill me, you must let me save all my fellow Daoists before you kill us all."

“Chopping one down is no fun at all. Let’s form a group and go have some fun for you.”

“What I did was not offensive; it was a respect for the Great Dao of Pangu and a continuation of the life of Pangu.”

"We inherit your will—and of course, if the opportunity arises, we'll also take advantage of the Chaos God's benefits."

"Great God Pangu, please don't take offense!"

Houtu muttered to herself for a while, as if to comfort herself, then closed her eyes and began to summon the soul.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, and the soul to the earth!"

Boom! ! !
The winds and clouds in Kaiming Mountain are constantly changing. The seven-colored divine light in the Earthly Cauldron soars into the sky, transforming into broad roads leading to various times and spaces.

"Ding bell~~"

A hand behind Houtu was shaking a bell.

She split into twelve Dao bodies, which walked along the Seven-Colored Path into various time and space.

"The soul is back!"

~~~~
The Netherworld, the Great Hall of Fengdu.

Thousands of ghosts, gods, and immortals gathered together.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Huang Long, and the other ten Yama Kings are reporting to Xuan Qing.

"Your Majesty, eighteen Earth Sovereigns have now returned to their positions in the Nine Layers of the Netherworld. We have also found the remaining destined ones, and they will ascend to my Underworld to take up their posts when the time is right."

Behind the Ten Kings of Hell, eighteen ghosts and gods respectfully bowed, saying, "We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

"very good!"

On the imperial throne, Xuan Qing, wearing an imperial crown, exuded a majestic and solemn aura, his entire body radiating a powerful presence. The twelve tassels of his crown concealed his deep eyes; he simply sat there, unmoving, yet possessed an air of dominance that seemed to survey the ages.

At this moment, Meng Wuyou, dressed in a crimson divine robe and holding a jade tablet, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in the previous tribulations of all living beings, countless ghosts entered my Underworld and filled the netherworld."

"Through the tireless efforts of my ministers in the underworld, many souls have now either entered the cycle of reincarnation in the heavens or been transformed into the ghost race."

"Only the four Great Luo True Spirits remain unchanged, immortal and indestructible. Although their consciousness has not yet awakened, none of them are willing to cooperate with the work of my Underworld. I do not know how to deal with them?"

"Since you are unwilling to cooperate with my work in the underworld, then you are just stubbornly resisting."

"For such beings, we in the underworld need to use some means to try to influence and reform them."

Xuan Qing's eyes were deep and meaningful as he said, "Fellow Daoist, please treat them to some of our Underworld's specialty tonic soup, and then send them to the Tai Sha Heavenly Palace. Arrange four 'Blessed Grotto-Heavens' for them according to their preferences."

"It can't be too bad, it has to be top-notch, preferably arranged in a Class A universe, where there is plenty of space."

"When the great cycle of reincarnation begins, I will personally send these individuals into the cycle of reincarnation."

"Yes!" Meng Wuyou smiled and withdrew as instructed.

Upon hearing this, many ghosts, gods, and immortals exclaimed in praise: "Your Majesty is benevolent beyond compare. These stubborn and unyielding beings will surely understand the goodness of the underworld towards them, and they will definitely cooperate well with our work in the future."

"Absolutely! Absolutely!" Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi and the other Yama Kings couldn't help but smile, a smile that they couldn't suppress.

We've arranged for you to stay in our underworld's "luxury suite," how could the Emperor of Fengdu not be benevolent?
You should know that even if they wanted to live in a universe of the highest rank, they wouldn't have the chance!

"Even ghosts would envy this!" the Ten Kings of Hell thought sincerely.

"jingle!"

Just then, a clear bell rang.

Houtu followed the path of soul guidance to the underworld.

"Huh? How did Brother Dijiang's spirit end up here?"

Looking at the tall and dark Gate of Hell, Houtu felt a sense of unease.

Will the Ghost Emperor release them?
