Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Xuan Du stood atop Lingyun Peak, his green robes fluttering, his black hair dancing wildly, his gaze piercing through billions of miles of void, landing in the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

The towering, earth-yellow pillar of light from the earth's veins illuminated the entire Blood Sea Sky Domain with a heavy glow.

The imagery of mountains and rivers flows and transforms, the primordial energy of the earth permeates the air, and an unprecedented Daoist rhythm of reincarnation is frantically condensing and evolving deep within the pillar of light!

"Houtu... is finally about to take that step."

Xuan Du murmured to himself, his voice calm, his eyes swirling with chaotic light, reflecting the earth-shaking anomalies of the ley lines.

He was not surprised at all; in fact, it was something he had expected.

From the moment he met Houtu on the shores of the East Sea, she revealed the secrets of the underground passage and explained the true meaning of reincarnation. He knew that Houtu would eventually walk this path.

This is her destiny, and also the inevitability of the underground tunnel's revival.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

It seems that during Houtu's seclusion on Buzhou Mountain, she has fully realized her mission and is determined to unite with the Dao to awaken the dormant underground passage of the Million Yuan Society and restore the order of the primordial world.

"but......"

A cold smile slowly curved Xuan Du's lips:

"This time, the cycle of reincarnation will be even smoother than before."

His gaze pierced through the thick, pillar-like beam of earth light, as if he could see a pale yellow figure deep within the beam, and the clear, resolute light in her eyes.

"After the Great Dao took notice, the Heavenly Dao no longer dared to suppress the Earthly Dao as recklessly as before."

"Now that Houtu has merged with the Dao, Hongjun... will probably not stop her."

As the thought settled, Xuan Du became even more resolute.

A hundred years ago, he attained the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, which triggered the will of the Great Dao to descend upon the primordial world. That supreme being, which covered all the heavens and inspired awe in even the saints, briefly "watched" over this world.

Under such gazes, all the laws, all the order, and all the secrets of the primordial world are laid bare.

The imbalance of the Heavenly Way's dominance and its suppression of the Earthly Way and the Human Way will surely be clearly perceived by the Great Dao.

The Great Way will not allow this imbalance to continue.

If Heaven were to forcibly suppress the revival of Earth, it would be going against the fundamental order established by the Great Dao and would inevitably suffer a backlash.

As the Dao Ancestor, Hongjun is one with the Heavenly Dao and in charge of the order of the primordial world. How could he not know this principle?

Therefore, this time Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, awakened the earth's way, and established the cycle of reincarnation...

Not only will Heaven not obstruct it, but it may even secretly fuel it.

After all, only when the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man coexist can the primordial world truly endure.

This is the general trend.

"Buzz..."

Just as Xuandu's thoughts were turning.

The void behind him rippled silently.

A figure in green robes appeared silently, standing with his hands behind his back, his sword intent soaring to the heavens.

It was none other than the Tongtian Sect Leader!

He was also startled by the earth-shaking fluctuations of the Netherworld Blood Sea and arrived in an instant.

"Houtu...is she truly destined to reincarnate?"

Tongtian's gaze, sharp as a sword, pierced through the void and fell upon the thick pillar of earth vein light. For the first time, an expression of disbelief and astonishment appeared on his face.

Although he was a sage of the Heavenly Dao, wielding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and awe-inspiring throughout the primordial world, he did not have a deep understanding of the affairs of the Earthly Dao.

After all, since the beginning of time, the Way of Heaven has been supreme, the Way of Earth has been dormant, and the Way of Humanity has not yet awakened; this is a consensus in the primordial world.

Even a sage like him believed that the order of the primordial world should have been like this.

But Xuan Du's words opened a door he had never seen before.

Only when the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity coexist can there be perfection.

Then, it turns out that the Earth was the chosen ruler of the underground world.

"Master."

Xuan Du bowed slightly, his voice calm:

"The Ancestral Witch Houtu possesses the origin of the earth and resonates with the primordial land as one, having already touched the threshold of the earth's way."

"This time, she merged with the Dao, awakened the dormant underground passage, took control of the Nine Netherworlds, and established the cycle of reincarnation... This is her destiny, and also the opportunity for the primordial world to restore order."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's pupils contracted sharply:

"Was it for this reason that you revealed the secret of heaven earlier?"

Xuan Du nodded:

"Exactly."

He paused, gazing towards the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, the earth's way was restored, reincarnation was established, and all living beings in the primordial world had a place to belong. The true spirit is immortal, order is restored, and the merits are immeasurable."

"This is a great benefit to the primordial world; Heaven will not obstruct it, and the Great Dao will also approve of it."

Tongtian was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"But the Witch Clan..."

His gaze swept towards Buzhou Mountain.

The twelve ancestral witches of the Wu tribe were formed from the essence and blood of Pangu. They were born with the power to control the laws of nature, and their blood and energy shook the heavens. They were on par with the demon race as the overlords of the primordial world.

If Houtu, as one of the Ancestral Witches, were to reincarnate, the Witch Clan would surely lose a top-tier fighter.

With the great calamity about to begin and the decisive battle between the Lich and the Demon Clan imminent, if Houtu were to leave at this critical juncture, it would be tantamount to adding insult to injury for the Lich Clan.

"The Witch Clan..."

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Xuan Du's lips:

"How could the ancestral witches like Dijiang easily let Houtu leave?"

His gaze pierced through the void, landing on the ancestral land of Buzhou Mountain.

There, eleven mighty pillars of blood and energy were rising into the sky, faintly confronting the earth vein fluctuations from the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea!

The malevolent energy surged, the laws of nature went mad, and the entire Buzhou Mountain Heavenly Domain trembled violently!

Clearly, Dijiang and the other ancestral witches have sensed Houtu's determination and are doing their best to stop her!

"really......"

Tongtian frowned slightly:

"Dijiang and the others did not want Houtu to leave."

"After all, the great calamity is approaching, and the Witch Clan needs the fighting power of every Ancestral Witch."

Xuan Du shook his head slightly:

"They can't stop them."

The voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's eyes narrowed:

Why?

Xuan Du raised his hand and pointed to the thick pillar of earth vein light in the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea, then pointed to the dark heights beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens:

"The union of Houtu with the Dao marks the beginning of the restoration of the Dao of the Earth, and is an act recognized by the Great Dao."

"If the ancestral witches such as Dijiang forcibly obstruct this, they will be going against the general trend of the earth and the will of the Great Dao."

"At that time... even without the intervention of the Heavenly Dao, the backlash from the revival of the Earthly Dao will be enough to make them pay a heavy price."

He paused, his voice turning cold:

"Moreover, Heaven is pleased to see the Earthly Dao revive, and Hongjun Daozu... is probably already watching from the shadows."

"If Dijiang and the others dare to obstruct us, Heaven will not stand idly by."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian understood.

Yes.

The coexistence of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity is the eternal way of the primordial world.

Houtu's union with the Dao awakens the Earth Dao, which also reduces the burden on the Heaven Dao and is a crucial step in stabilizing order.

As the Dao Ancestor, Hongjun was in charge of maintaining the balance of the prehistoric world. How could he sit idly by and watch Dijiang and others disrupt such a great trend?

"It seems... that Houtu's reincarnation is now a foregone conclusion."

Tongtian slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes still filled with shock.

He had cultivated for billions of years and witnessed countless primordial events, but he had never seen such a magnificent feat as Houtu, who merged with the Dao and awakened a great Dao in one region.

Such spirit and such determination are truly awe-inspiring.

"Rumble..."

Strange phenomena are recurring in the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea!

The thick, pillar-like beam of earth vein light suddenly expanded, instantly enveloping the entire sea of ​​blood above!

Within the pillar of light, the images of mountains and rivers flowed wildly, the primordial energy of the earth surged like a tide, and an incomparably clear compassion spread out from the depths of the pillar of light, enveloping the primordial world!

"Houtu..."

Deep within the pillar of light, a pale yellow figure slowly emerged.

Houtu walked barefoot into the air, her pale yellow dress fluttering without wind. Her face was beautiful and her eyes were clear, yet she carried an unprecedented sense of determination.

She slowly raised her eyes, gazing towards Buzhou Mountain, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, which then transformed into unwavering determination.

"My dear brothers..."

Houtu's voice was clear and crisp, yet it clearly penetrated the depths of the hearts of every ancestral witch on Buzhou Mountain:

"Houtu has departed."

As the four words fell, the eleven pillars of blood and qi in the direction of Buzhou Mountain suddenly went into chaos!

"Houtu! No!!!"

Dijiang's roar, carrying with it the turmoil of spatial laws, tore through the sky and descended upon the sea of ​​blood in an instant!

As the sound waves passed, the void crumbled inch by inch, revealing dark spatial cracks!

Furthermore, countless powerful energies surged from Mount Buzhou, transforming into eleven towering ancestral witch phantoms that shattered the void and descended fiercely beyond the sea of ​​blood!

Dijiang, Jumang, Zhurong, Gonggong, Rushou, Xuanming, Qiangliang, Zhujiuyin, Tianwu, Xizi, Shebishi!

Eleven Ancestral Witches have arrived!

Each one was ten thousand feet tall, its aura and blood shaking the heavens, surrounded by laws, and its murderous aura soaring to the sky!

They stared intently at the pale yellow figure deep within the pillar of light, their eyes filled with shock, anger, and bewilderment!

"Houtu, my lady! What exactly are you trying to do?!"

Zhu Rong was engulfed in raging flames, his voice booming like thunder:

"If we leave now, how will our Wu Clan face the Demon Clan?! How will we face the Great Calamity?!"

Gonggong's fury was overwhelming:

"Come back! Stop fooling around!"

Jumang was surrounded by a surge of vitality, yet his voice carried an unusual sternness:

"My dear Houtu, don't be impulsive! Everything can be discussed!"

The questions were as loud as thunderclaps.

The eleven Ancestral Witches combined their auras and resonated their blood and qi, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped the entire sea of ​​blood, attempting to block the spread of the earth vein light pillar!
