Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 171 Solve the problem fundamentally

"It is for this reason that I feel there is something fishy about this matter, and that is why I brought it to see Master."

Nuwa said to Chen Xuan with a serious face. At the same time, Chen Xuan nodded to Nuwa.

"Hongjun is indeed very calculating. He wants to use this method to interfere with the human race and make the human race rely on the Heavenly Dao."

"If this continues, Hongjun will lead humanity astray. We will no longer think about improving our own strength, but instead wait for the reward from Heaven."

"The most important thing is that Hongjun used an open conspiracy. Even if we knew about it, we couldn't change anything."

"After all, how many people can resist the power that is possessed at this moment? If we try to stop it, I'm afraid we will be hated by the human race."

Nuwa also understood this truth, otherwise she would not have had to come to Qinglian Island to see Chen Xuan.

So he immediately said to Chen Xuan: "As Master said, this matter is indeed extremely difficult to break. But we can't let Hongjun be so reckless."

Chen Xuan's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to break Hongjun's conspiracy. In a moment, several methods flashed through Chen Xuan's mind.

But in the end, Chen Xuan gave up on all of them because these methods all had some flaws and would inevitably be used by Hongjun again.

This inevitably made Nuwa feel worried. After all, Chen Xuan's expression was now a little solemn.

At this moment, Hou Tu rushed into the Qinglian Palace happily with a ginseng fruit in her hand.

He didn't care about Chen Xuan's expression and pulled Chen Xuan to say, "Master, look, the half ginseng fruit tree that Duobao brought back has finally produced fruit."

"It's just that the quality of this fruit is somewhat inferior to the original ginseng fruit. But it can still be considered as the innate spiritual root quality."

Looking at the ginseng fruit in Houtu's hand, a picture instantly appeared in Chen Xuan's mind.

In the picture, a landowner points to a ginseng fruit tree and says to Sun Wukong: "This ginseng fruit tree takes three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and three thousand years to mature."

"It takes tens of thousands of years to get these thirty or so fruits. If someone is lucky enough to get one of these fruits and smell it, they will live for three hundred and sixty years; if they eat one, they will live forty-seven thousand years."

Then a smile appeared on Chen Xuan's lips, and he said to Nuwa: "Hongjun is willing to waste the merits of the Heavenly Dao to help the human race, how can we refuse?"

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Nuwa's face was full of confusion. However, she did not ask any questions, but waited for Chen Xuan's next words.

At this time, Chen Xuan had already turned his gaze to Hou Tu and said, "Hou Tu, take me and your Junior Sister Nuwa to the Nine Netherworld."

Seeing Chen Xuan's serious expression, Hou Tu immediately put away her playful expression. However, she still did not forget and took a bite of the ginseng fruit.

Then he waved his hand in front of him, and a gate to the underworld appeared out of thin air. Then Hou Tu spoke.

"Master, this is the Netherworld Gate, which leads directly to the Nine Netherworlds."

Chen Xuan nodded, and then he, Nuwa, and Hou Tu stepped into the gate of the underworld.

When the master and his two disciples walked out of the gate of the underworld, they had already arrived next to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, outside Hou Tu's Pingxin Hall.

After entering the main hall, Hou Tu asked Chen Xuan to take the main seat and then said to Chen Xuan: "Master, this is my territory. Just tell me what you want to do."

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Immediately, have someone fetch the Book of Life and Death for me." Although Hou Tu didn't understand why Chen Xuan wanted the Book of Life and Death, she nodded anyway and personally went to the Judge's Hall to fetch the Book of Life and Death for Chen Xuan.

Only then did Nuwa speak to Chen Xuan and said, "Master, could it be that the solution to this problem lies in the Nine Netherworld?"

Chen Xuan nodded: "Every living being in the prehistoric world has a lifespan. Among them, the post-celestial race has the shortest lifespan, only a few hundred years."

"Once a creature from the prehistoric world embarks on the path of cultivating immortality, its lifespan will be extended. And as its cultivation level continues to improve, its lifespan can almost become infinite."

"It can even be said that many acquired human beings embark on the path of cultivation not only to become stronger, but also to have a long lifespan."

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Nuwa instantly understood what he meant and immediately spoke to him.

"Master, are you planning to end the long lifespans of those humans who have improved their cultivation due to the merits of the Heavenly Dao?"

Chen Xuan nodded, then shook his head at the same time. The latter made Nuwa even more puzzled. She was about to ask, but she saw that Hou Tu had already held life and death and would not come back.

As Hou Tu handed the Book of Life and Death to Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan finally saw the records in the Book of Life and Death.

The Book of Life and Death records the names and detailed information of almost all living beings in the ancient times.

This includes when one is born and when one dies, and what kind of blessings one has received in this life from the merits accumulated in the previous life.

It can be said that with the Book of Life and Death in hand, one can almost grasp the basic information of all living beings in the entire prehistoric world.

However, Chen Xuan wanted the Book of Life and Death not to look at these things. Instead, he wanted to check the lifespan of the Golden Immortal and whether it had reached the same lifespan as the heaven and earth.

So Chen Xuan directly flipped through the Book of Life and Death to the section that recorded the Daluo Jinxian cultivators. After reading it, it was indeed similar to what Chen Xuan had imagined.

Although it didn't reach the same lifespan as the heavens and the earth, it was almost the same. After all, once one reached the Golden Immortal realm, they would have a lifespan of millions of years.

During these millions of years of life, you can also increase your lifespan through life-extending pills and innate spiritual fruits.

So Chen Xuan couldn't help but shake his head. He then said to Hou Tu, "This Book of Life and Death needs to be refined again using the power of reincarnation. And some appropriate modifications need to be made."

Hearing that Chen Xuan wanted to refine the Book of Life and Death again and modify its contents, Hou Tu couldn't help but shake her head.

"Master, everything recorded in this Book of Life and Death cannot be modified at all."

"Only when the fate of certain living beings changes will the Judge's Pen, transformed from the Spring and Autumn Samsara Pen, modify the Book of Life and Death."

"In other words, this Book of Life and Death cannot be altered by me, let alone refined anew."

Seeing Hou Tu's helpless expression, Chen Xuan gave her a slap on the head. He then glared at her fiercely and said.

"What are you thinking? Do you think your master doesn't know? You don't want to spend thousands of years in the six realms of reincarnation to refine this Book of Life and Death, do you?"

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Hou Tu immediately smiled and began to massage Chen Xuan's shoulders very skillfully.

"Master, they've already gotten used to using the Book of Life and Death. Why waste time on him?"
