Crow in the West, starting to evolve from the plundering entry

Chapter 345 Yellow Springs? Houtu?
The Zhou Tian Star Array is a forbidden array.

It would rank among the top five in the entire prehistoric world.

It is said that it even possesses the power to rival a saint.

This is not an exaggeration.

This is because the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array is modeled after the Wu Clan's clan-protecting grand array.

That great formation can summon the phantom of Pangu.

Although it is an illusion, its combat power is probably enough to make even a saint be wary.

The demon race was able to contend with the witch race and even broke the witch race's clan-protecting formation. Most of the credit for this achievement goes to the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation.

It is this power that draws upon the strength of the stars in the heavens and stirs up countless chaotic stars, which is why the entire Witch Clan, even the Sages, are wary of it.

With such a grand formation, Yu Qiye naturally wouldn't miss it.

He had already obtained control of this great formation from the true spirit of the Chaos Bell.

It cannot be said that it is under control.

A more accurate term would be "comprehension".

He is currently studying this great formation.

However, through continuous contemplation, he discovered that the true key to this great formation was the countless chaotic stars within the chaos.

Each of these stars possesses earth-shattering power.

The Zhou Tian Star Array draws upon the power of countless chaotic stars.

However, things are different from before.

The chaotic stars are now entirely under the control of the Heavenly Court.

It is extremely difficult for others to reach it.

The Heavenly Court even assigned the position of 'Star Lord' to each of the chaotic stars, who were to guard them for a long time.

"Chaos contains countless chaotic stars."

"And the number of stars that can reflect the entire primordial world is approximately four hundred."

"Among them are seven core stars."

"If I could become the star lord of these core stars, and with the help of others, I could recreate the Zhou Tian Star Array."

Thinking this, Yu Qiye's face showed a helpless expression.

He should be able to easily get his hands on an ordinary star lord.

However, it would be quite difficult for him to get his hands on the Star Lord of the core star.

But, not bad.

He has already taken control of a core star.

And this was none other than King Kang Jin.

Besides him, there are also Polaris, the Five Stars, and so on.

At that moment, as thoughts raced through his mind, Yu Qiye looked toward Kang Jinlong not far away.

"You should make the introductions first, and try to get more of us to serve as star deities."

"I will also take action to remove some star lords, making their positions vacant."

Listening quietly, Kang Jinlong understood.

"Please rest assured, Master, I am on good terms with the other Star Lords. With my guarantee, they will not interfere."

"Of course, if they try to stop us, then they have no value."

His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

This is Kang Jinlong today.

Cold and heartless.

She looks a bit like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

She only reveals her girlish side when Yu Qiye praises her.

Not long after that, after arranging matters concerning the Heavenly Court Star Lords, Yu Qiye began practicing creating other clones.

He has many clones.

Furthermore, it can utilize countless thoughts to manipulate things simultaneously.

This is somewhat similar to multi-clienting in games.

However, Yu Qiye was not an ordinary person who opened many shops.

Instead, it was tens of thousands more.

However, among so many clones, only a few can truly be called the core clones.

One of them is a Buddhist monk, a disciple of Jin Chanzi, so he can be considered one.

One is a rat spirit from the Heavenly Court, who is about to become a star lord.

Also, there are the bull demons beside the Bull Demon King.

Besides these, there are a few powerful demons who have made a name for themselves among the most fearsome outsiders.

Nine Netherworld Serpent
混沌
魔凰
These guys were Yu Qiye's most terrifying Divine Transformation experts, with astonishing combat power.

After Yu Qiye reached the Great Luo realm, his combat power increased further.

Although not as powerful as the Great Luo Immortal, he can still rival most Taiyi Golden Immortals.

In particular, some of the divine transformations possess bizarre talents.

It's terrifying.
Even renowned deities like Erlang Shen and Nezha would be wary of them.

"Let Chaos and Demon Phoenix spend more time playing with Buddhism."

"We can't let the Buddhist community be left empty."

"These guys, when they have free time, they really know how to cause trouble."

Thinking this, Yu Qiye began to control his several clones, heading towards the continent where the Buddhist sect was located.

"唳"

With a cry, boundless demonic flames burned the sky.

That's the Demon Phoenix.

His flames are powerful enough to incinerate heaven and earth.

Like a phoenix that destroys the world.

Wherever it went, disasters followed.

Today, it has become a major enemy of Buddha.

There are thousands of Buddhist disciples who have attacked him.

But most of the time, they never return.

"Roar, roar"

Amidst the continuous low growls, a black mist, resembling a black hole, surged and churned.

That was the Chaos Taotie.

It is also a notorious and ferocious beast.

Back then, Erlang Shen, Nezha, and the Barefoot Immortal, three war gods of the same level, all tried in vain to defeat him.

It is not good at attacking.

It can only devour.

But somewhere, it will turn into a black hole, constantly devouring everything.

And it keeps getting bigger and bigger.

If they cannot be driven away in time.

He could even merge with the entire universe and become a part of it.

Extremely difficult to handle.

At that time, let alone killing him, it would be difficult to even injure him.

"I hope you won't let me down."

As he said this, a look of anticipation appeared on Yu Qiye's face.

To be honest, Buddhism is actually facing a lot of headaches these days.

It wasn't just Yu Qiye's various divine transformations that caused them trouble.

There is also the witch clan that broke the seal.

Under the guidance of a certain individual, the Wu tribe has come to realize that Buddhism is the source of everything.

That is the root cause of the decline of their witch clan.

Therefore, the ancient war god Xing Tian repeatedly provoked Buddhism.

If they weren't lacking in strength, they probably would have already crushed the entire Buddhist sect.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiye's expression changed slightly.

He almost forgot an old friend.

With these thoughts in mind, Yu Qiye, still in a state of confusion, suddenly looked towards the other side of the primordial world.

It was pitch black there.

But it is the other side of the primordial world, the Nine Netherworlds.

However, this time, Yu Qiye did not want to enter the Nine Netherworld from the Three Realms.

That's very inconvenient.

Moreover, and more importantly, he is now known as Ronaldo.

If it were to descend upon the primordial world, it would likely cause a great upheaval.

so.
He planned to go directly from the Chaos to the Netherworld.

There is a river in the Nine Netherworlds called the Yellow Springs.

There is another place called the 'Netherworld Sea'.

These are all directly linked to chaos.

In other words, Yu Qiye can travel directly to the Netherworld through Chaos.

"We should still go and pay that person a visit."

As he spoke, Yu Qiye had already taken a step.

Soon after
Deep within the Nine Netherworlds, in a certain place, Yu Qiye stood quietly.

"I am Qiye, and I request an audience with the Goddess Houtu."

The faint voice, seemingly possessing an inexplicable penetrating power, resounded throughout half the world, yet remained unheard by outsiders.

"You little rascal, what brings you here again?"

Suddenly, a gentle voice rang in Yu Qiye's ear.

Looking in the direction of the voice, he was astonished to find it was his old friend, Fellow Daoist Huang Quan.

Do not,
It wasn't the Yellow Springs. Staring blankly at the woman not far away, Yu Qiye's pupils shrank again and again.

The previously unseen term panel has finally revealed a small part of the iceberg.

Race: Witch Clan.

[Entries: Six Paths of Reincarnation (Colorful), Waters of the Underworld (Colorful), Divine Power of the Thick Earth (Colorful)]

One after another, colorful entries, dazzling and eye-catching.

But more importantly, it's about the name of the race.

"I see."

Upon seeing this, Yu Qiye finally understood.

He said, "How could the Wu tribe not even hesitate?"

They never even doubted it.

So that's how it is.

The fellow Daoist from the underworld whom he always regarded as a 'friend' was none other than the legendary Empress Houtu.

This person, having spent several months with him, must have already seen through many things about him.

Yu Qiye even suspected that this saint had entered his heart or mind and read some things.

This is Yu Qiye's conjecture.

After all, he didn't quite understand how terrifying a saint could be.

However, back then, he was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

It's unlikely that there are any secrets before a sage.

And it was precisely because of this that the Earth Goddess was certain that he was not lying.

Should we expose it?

Yu Qiye's eyes flickered.

Houtu Niangniang, concealing her identity, befriended him under the name of Huangquan (the underworld).

If this is revealed, then Houtu Niangniang will probably try to maintain his saintly image and distance herself from him.

Not only that,

If he were to rashly reveal this, Empress Houtu might become enraged.

After all, he was still very close to this person when he transformed into the Yellow Springs.

Just like now, the Goddess Houtu has come to Yu Qiye's side.

Yu Qiye even smelled a faint fragrance.

That was a woman's subtle fragrance.

It's memorable.

"It cannot be revealed."

Suddenly, Yu Qiye realized this.

If he were to reveal Houtu Niangniang's identity, he could be charged with blasphemy just for the moment.

It should be noted that the reason why King Zhou of Shang lost his country and his people was because he wrote a poem for Nuwa.

The key point is that the poem wasn't exactly obscene.

There was more praise than praise.

Even so
“Saints are not to be profaned, much less touched.”

"And I, now it seems, can grasp a little bit of it."

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yu Qiye remained calm and spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Huangquan, it's been a long time. I've come this time to see the Goddess Houtu."

"Why?"

The Yellow Springs, the incarnation of Houtu, looked curious.

Upon closer inspection, one could even notice a hint of admiration deep within her eyes.

Even she hadn't expected that Yu Qiye, at such a young age, would be able to reach the Great Luo realm.

And it's not just any Ronaldo.

"Although it was with the help of external forces, it was still quite good."

While secretly praising her, Houtu noticed something strange.

That is, Yu Qiye seemed to be being somewhat polite to him.

They even became somewhat estranged.

"Perhaps it's been a long time since we last met."

Houtu found a reason for herself in her heart, but when she heard Yu Qiye respond:
"The Buddhist community has now had its fortunes severed and is suffering a major blow."

"I plan to speak with the Goddess Houtu to see if we should use this opportunity to completely eradicate Buddhism."

Yu Qiye didn't finish his sentence, but everything was understood without being said.

"Don't even think about it."

Huang Quan shook his head.

"Behind Buddhism, the true figures are those two saints. If they remain, Buddhism will never disappear."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qiye understood.

"What about further suppressing Buddhism?"

Yu Qiye chuckled softly.

Houtu commands the entire Wu Clan, and also the Nine Netherworlds.

And he now controls four or five tenths of the demon race.

If the two join forces, even the Buddhist community might not be able to withstand it.

The only worry is whether the Heavenly Court will intervene.

"If that's all there is to it, I think the Goddess Houtu wouldn't refuse."

Huang Quan, who was transformed from Hou Tu, frankly stated.

After learning everything, she developed an extreme hatred for Buddhism.

But as a saint, she had her own cultivation and her own concerns.

Therefore, she cannot reveal too much.

But those under her command are beyond her control.

What's more, this time, it was the demon race that took the initiative, and it was this little guy in front of us.

Thinking of this, Huang Quan, who was Houtu in disguise, also raised his hand to congratulate her:

"Oh right, I almost forgot, congratulations on becoming the current Demon Emperor and ruling the entire demon race."

"This"

Yu Qiye chuckled silently.

"You know what the demon race is like now. Although they are in charge, they seem to have more troubles than they have."

"That's true."

Upon hearing this, Houtu Niangniang nodded.

Most of the powerful demons perished in battle.

Even the inheritance has been largely lost.

Calling it a 'decline' is not an exaggeration.

In other words, the demon race is born and raised by nature, and its numbers are endless.

If it were any other race, they would probably have gone extinct long ago.

Yu Qiye and 'Huang Quan' reminisced for a while.

Even more surprisingly, Yu Qiye was invited by 'Huang Quan' to his cave for tea.

Yu Qiye naturally wouldn't refuse.

This is the boudoir of a saint.

"Besides discussing this matter with the Goddess Houtu, I have another favor to ask of you. I hope Fellow Daoist Huangquan can help me sound out what they think."

Yu Qiye said rather tactfully.

"what?"

"As you know, there are two saints behind Buddhism, while my demon race has no saints, though we can't say we have none. At least this saint is unlikely to help me. So I hope that after the Buddhist saints take action, the Goddess Houtu can protect me to some extent."

Yu Qiye made no attempt to hide it.

Originally, he planned to confront Houtu directly and ask her about this.

Unexpectedly, the sage, though seemingly far away, was right before our eyes.

Since that's the case, he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

"Well, I can ask for you, but what's in it for me?"

Huang Quan smiled mischievously and spread out one hand, as if asking for a reward.

"Fellow Daoist, if you have any request, I will certainly grant it."

Even if it means searching to the ends of the earth.

At this point, Yu Qiye added:
"If this matter succeeds, I can grant you three conditions. As long as these three conditions are not unreasonable, I will agree to them."

"Your attitude is quite good."

With a slight nod, Huang Quan was quite satisfied.

Very sincere.

Although this little guy's three conditions are worthless.

But thinking about it, this was probably the most precious thing he could offer.

As for the others
Rare and precious materials?
Cultivation techniques and supernatural powers?
He seems to have a good understanding of his own limitations.

Let's put aside whether he can afford it or not.
Is it enough that he can offer something that will catch my eye?
"Since you're so sincere, I'll ask around for you, but I can't guarantee anything."

Huang Quan let out a soft laugh.

"Do your best and obey destiny."

With a knowing smile, Yu Qiye knew that the deal was mostly done.

Given that a Buddhist saint has intervened, this Empress Houtu will most likely protect him.

This can be considered a way out he has found.

Of course, this was only one way out for Yu Qiye.

He will also plan other things.
