Transmigrating to a chat group: After heeding advice, I became the ruler of the primordial world.

Hongjun's decision regarding the journey to the West was unanimously approved by the saints present.

The current situation allows no room for hesitation or delay; we must act swiftly to counter Lu Yun's scheme.

Therefore, Hongjun immediately closed his eyes and concentrated his mind. His powerful divine sense transformed into an invisible wave that instantly pierced through layers of space and reached the depths of the underworld.

In the underworld, Houtu and Houtu from another world were engrossed in their conversation, completely unaware of the changes happening outside. However, when Hongjun's divine sense arrived, they both felt an immense pressure and stopped talking, turning their gazes to the sky.

"I have been summoned by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and must go to Zixiao Palace immediately," Houtu from the Journey to the West world said to Houtu from the Primordial World, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible worry.

Houtu of the primordial world nodded slightly, her gaze profound: "It seems our actions have attracted their attention. Go ahead and see what they have to say!"

"Please wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

As he spoke, the Journey to the West world flickered, transforming into a streak of light that shot straight into the sky, hurtling towards the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace.

……

Outside the Purple Cloud Palace.

When Houtu from the Journey to the West arrived here and saw the same old buildings, she was quite moved.

She recalled the sermons at Zixiao Palace in the past, the three thousand guests in the mortal world, and her deceased elder sister and brothers.

According to the information she learned from Houtu of the Primordial World, the Ancestral Witches of the other world are still alive, and each of them has become a Quasi-Saint!

This news still leaves her with very mixed feelings.

There is joy for the other side of himself, and also regret for his brothers and sisters in this side of his world.

Finally, her gaze fell upon the Zixiao Palace before her, and her emotions inevitably stirred.

After all, according to Houtu, the deaths of her brothers were very likely due to Hongjun's scheme!

However, Houtu quickly calmed down and flew into the Zixiao Palace.

She gracefully arrived outside the Zixiao Palace.

Before even entering the main hall, the first thing she noticed was that in a corner not far away, there were two Tongtian Sect Leaders arguing about something.

Having already seen her counterpart in the other world, she wasn't surprised by this.

She was also somewhat curious about what the two worlds could be discussing so excitedly, but unfortunately, the two seemed to not want anyone to hear their conversation, so they used their supernatural powers to block out their voices, and even Houtu could not forcibly investigate.

Houtu didn't delve any further into the matter, and simply withdrew her gaze, striding into the main hall.

The moment Houtu stepped into the main hall, the previously solemn atmosphere seemed to freeze.

All eyes were on her, their expressions varied.

Houtu's gaze swept over them one by one, lingering briefly on the people in the prehistoric world, before finally landing on Hongjun of the Journey to the West world.

Houtu bowed calmly, her voice clear and firm as she said, "Greetings to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and greetings to all fellow Daoists."

Hongjun nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over her with profound intensity, and said in a deep voice, "Houtu, do you know why I summoned you here?"

Houtu bowed slightly, her tone calm: "The Dao Ancestor has summoned me; there must be something important to discuss. I wish to hear the details."

Hongjun did not answer directly, but slowly said, "I have heard that you and another Houtu were discussing the Dao of Reincarnation in the Underworld. Is this true?"

Houtu of this world readily admitted: "It is indeed true. The Great Dao of Reincarnation is profound and unfathomable. I have gained much from my exchange with this fellow practitioner from another world."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued, "Have you considered that this action might cause unnecessary conflict and turmoil?"

Houtu frowned and said, "Dao Ancestor, you are overthinking it. The Great Dao of Reincarnation is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth. Our exchanges and discussions aim to help each other learn from each other's strengths and make progress together. How could it cause any disputes or turmoil?"

These words made the atmosphere within Zixiao Palace even more subtle. The saints from the Journey to the West world and the Primordial World exchanged glances, all vaguely sensing that the situation was not good.

In the Journey to the West world, Zhunti suddenly spoke up: "Houtu, you wouldn't be thinking of joining forces with those outsiders, would you?"

The others were slightly taken aback, not expecting that Zhunti would ask such a question directly.

However, now that he had asked the question, the others naturally wanted to hear Houtu's answer as well.

Houtu glanced indifferently at Zhunti and said mockingly, "Do I need your permission to do anything? Besides, you yourselves are so close to a group of outsiders, what right do you have to criticize me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti from Journey to the West paused, wanting to refute it, but after glancing at the others beside him, he didn't know how to refute it.

After holding it in for a long time, it was the guide from the Journey to the West world who came to his rescue, saying, "These fellow Daoists are not the same as the Houtu you encountered."

Houtu, the goddess of the West, retorted, "What's the difference? Aren't they all from the same world?"

The primordial Zhunti couldn't help but retort, "Of course they're different! At least we wouldn't think of taking over your world, but they are different!"

Houtu, the goddess of the West, gave him a mocking look and said, "You say you can't, so you can't? They also say they can't, so why don't you believe them?"

Honghuang Zhunti was speechless.

It was only at this moment that the saints of the Journey to the West world realized that they were saints from another world, so they subconsciously chose to trust them.

But can these people really be trusted?

What if the other party also gained their trust under the guise of fighting alongside them, and then suddenly attacked them from behind?

Upon thinking of this, all the saints in the Journey to the West world immediately became somewhat wary.

Seeing this, Hongjun gently waved his hand to stop Zhunti from arguing further. His gaze fell on Houtu again, and he said in a deep voice, "Houtu, I do not mean to interfere with your cultivation and communication, but you must understand that the Journey to the West world is facing unprecedented challenges. Lu Yun's plans are far-reaching and his intentions are unclear. We must deal with him with caution."

Houtu nodded slightly, indicating her understanding: "What the Dao Ancestor said is very true. I naturally understand the severity of the current situation. However, the Great Dao of Reincarnation concerns the life and death of all things. As a sage of the Earthly Dao, I have the responsibility and obligation to explore its mysteries. My communication with that Houtu was purely out of the pursuit of the Great Dao, and I had no other intentions."

Hongjun, the Daoist master of the West Journey, pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "I understand your intentions, but extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. You must always be vigilant about the movements of those outsiders and lest you be used by them."

Houtu bowed respectfully and said, "I will keep the teachings of the Dao Ancestor in mind. I will always pay attention to the movements of those outsiders, and at the same time continue to explore the mysteries of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, contributing my own strength to the world of Journey to the West."

She had already put it this way, and even Hongjun from Journey to the West suddenly didn't know how to persuade her to stop associating with Houtu of the Primordial World.

Just then, Houtu from Journey to the West suddenly said, "By the way, after exchanging ideas with another fellow Daoist Houtu, I have some new thoughts about the structure of the Underworld and would like to make some reforms. I would like to ask you fellow Daoists to send away the guests who have come to the Underworld as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Bodhisattva in the Journey to the West world changed drastically, and they exclaimed in unison, "This is impossible!"

Houtu's face immediately turned cold. (End of Chapter)
