Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

The moonlight shone like frost, and the laurel tree, a supreme innate spiritual root, swayed its branches and leaves, eternally desolate.

Xihe and Changxi returned from the primordial world riding on the moonlight, their two figures landing under the laurel tree.

The fallen branches and leaves have long since returned to the laurel tree.

"Sister..." Changxi spoke softly, her voice weary, "Although this plan was not entirely successful, it was enough to draw the attention of the Sage Houtu, which can be considered..."

"Calculate?"

Xihe interrupted her, her beautiful face contorted with rage and menacing energy.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the nine illusory images of small golden crows that had evolved from the true fire of the sun.

Nine golden crows.

Nine of her ten children were shot dead by Hou Yi.

Before Xihe's eyes, the scene of the nine children's deaths seemed to appear: ten little golden crows were playing and frolicking in the primordial world, bringing warmth to the primordial world.

And Hou Yi, that damned great shaman of the Wu tribe, with one arrow, two arrows, three arrows... with each tremor of the bowstring, an ice crystal firework exploded in the primordial sky, and a child fell.

Not a single drop of Golden Crow's true blood, not a single Golden Crow feather, was left behind.

"I will make Hou Yi burn in the true fire of the sun for billions of years."

Xihe opened her eyes, the moonlight in them transforming into a tangible chill. "Using my own primordial Yin as a guide, I led Chang'e to the Taiyin Star, and then summoned Hou Yi... This was a foolproof plan. Those barbarians of the Wu tribe would have no chance of detecting my scheme."

Furthermore, there is the ironclad rule of the Dao Ancestor: "Demons rule the heavens, witches govern the earth; no further bloodshed is permitted within this realm." If they dare to come to Taiyin Star, it will be the day the witch clan is exterminated.

She paused, her voice filled with deep-seated hatred: "But I overlooked Houtu."

Chang Xi remained silent.

She never expected that Houtu, the ancestral witch who had already reincarnated and attained sainthood in the underworld, would personally take action, cross the boundary between yin and yang, and forcibly snatch someone from the Taiyin Star.

The immense power of reincarnation that erupted in that instant almost shook the very origin of the Taiyin Star.

"But it doesn't matter." Xihe suddenly sneered, "Heng'e is still in my hands. She is Hou Yi's Daoist partner. With her in my hands, Hou Yi will come back sooner or later."

The two flew to the laurel tree, beside a moon pool that shimmered with a silvery-white halo.

That is the outward manifestation of the Taiyin Star's origin; every drop of water in the pool is a condensation of the Taiyin Star's origin.

This was originally a place he and Changxi specially opened up to store the essence of the moon, so that he could merge with the source of the sun and refine the Emperor's Elixir.

Before the beginning of time, she imprisoned Heng'e at the bottom of the pool, merging her with the primordial Yin essence within.

However......!

The Moon Pool is empty.

But Heng'e was nowhere to be seen, and even the pool of Yin essence had vanished.

Xihe's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Impossible." She stepped to the edge of the pool, her powerful spiritual energy sweeping back and forth, but she could not sense any aura belonging to Heng'e.

The body of Taiyin essence that she had painstakingly built over ten thousand years and drawn up from the primordial earth at the cost of her own life force has vanished.

"Sister, look here." Changxi pointed to the bottom of the pool.

At the bottom of the Moon Pool, on the originally smooth, mirror-like surface of the Taiyin Jade, fine ripples began to appear.

Those patterns were not formed naturally, but were imprints left by some kind of great law!

Gentle, profound, and imbued with the aura of the cycle of reincarnation.

"Houtu..."

Xihe spoke each word slowly and deliberately, his voice filled with a murderous intent that was almost tangible.

She sat down cross-legged, and her primordial spirit spread out.

The moon trembled violently, and the very essence of the entire star resonated with her.

The silvery moonlight rose from the Moon Pool and illuminated all the stars in the sky.

Xihe's primordial spirit swept across every inch of the land of the Taiyin Star and every leaf of the laurel tree like a tidal wave...!

No.

The true spirit and origin of Chang'e have all disappeared.

No, it didn't disappear.

Xihe's primordial spirit eventually sank into the deepest part of the Taiyin star!

There is a perpetually rotating silver-white sphere of light, within which flows the primordial Yin energy that existed since the creation of the world.

This origin is the source of her and Changxi's birth, and also the source of their authority as the Lords of Taiyin.

At the core of that sphere of light, he finally found Heng'e's whereabouts.

A faint mark of the true spirit, almost integrated with the origin of Yin, is sleeping quietly.

The mark was shaped like a heartbroken figure, resembling Chang'e.

Her original body and spirit, born from the essence of the Yin, were struck into the origin of the Yin Star by supreme power, completely merging with the Yin Star's essence. At this moment, Heng'e seemed to be another innate being newly conceived by the Yin Star.

To forcibly separate them, one would have to shatter the very essence of Yin.

"Impressive techniques! No wonder you're a saint-level being!"

Chang Xi also sensed it, his face turning deathly pale. "Houtu has completely merged Heng'e's true spirit with the Taiyin origin. If we attack her, it will shake the entire Taiyin Star, and the backlash alone will be enough to completely annihilate us."

Xihe fell silent.

She looked up, as if she could see the formless yet omnipresent primordial Dao through the gaps in the laurel branches.

As a primordial deity, she understood the majesty of the Heavenly Dao better than anyone else.

The Taiyin Star was transformed from Pangu's right eye, and the primordial Taiyin Law manifested, relating to the primordial Yin-Yang balance.

If anyone dares to destroy the origin of Taiyin, the Heavenly Dao will surely suppress them...!

Even though Xihe is the master of the moon, she is no exception.

"Houtu... after becoming a saint, she is indeed no longer the barbarian of the Witch Clan. She has schemed so far!"

Xihe slowly stood up, her moon-white robes fluttering even without wind. "Do you think this will protect Heng'e? Does it will put Hou Yi at ease?"

"But you've forgotten that I am the Lord of the Moon. As long as Changxi and I remain, Heng'e will never be born."

Xihe looked at Changxi and said, "We must further refine the Taiyin Origin to make Emperor's Elixir for Your Majesty. When we complete the Great Luo required for the Zhou Tian Star Array, that will be the day the Wu Clan is wiped out."
