Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 40 040 Post-Earthly Treasure

Upon arriving at the Six Paths of Reincarnation, before Wei Guang could even take a closer look, a beautiful figure emerged from within, leaving Wei Guang completely stunned.

As soon as she came out, she looked sadly toward Buzhou Mountain, as if she hadn't seen Wei Guang at all.

Wei Guang instantly realized her identity: the former Ancestral Witch Houtu, now Pingxin.

Why didn't they come out earlier or later? Did they only come out after the Witch Clan was wiped out? If you said there wasn't something fishy going on, Wei Guang would never believe it, and he was completely baffled.

So it seems there's still a conspiracy at play.

"Junior Wei Guang pays respects to the Goddess Houtu." Wei Guang dared not be negligent, because from Houtu, he felt the kind of great power that he could only feel from his master and senior uncle.

Needless to say, Houtu at this moment is not a quasi-saint, but a saint, a true saint.

However, since the name Pingxin had not yet been spread, Wei Guang did not presume to call her "Pingxin Niangniang" but pretended not to know and continued to call her "Houtu".

Houtu withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "There is no more Houtu of the Wu Clan in this world, only Pingxin of the Underworld remains."

Wei Guang bowed again: "Junior Wei Guang greets Empress Pingxin."

Houtu lifted Wei Guang up: "I already know your purpose. The Xuan Turtle is a creature of great perseverance and merit, and it should not perish like this."

Wei Guang hurriedly took out the Xuan Turtle True Spirit: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Houtu received the true spirit of the Xuan Turtle and cast it into the cycle of reincarnation. Then she looked at Wei Guang and said, "Ten thousand years later, the Xuan Turtle will be born in the Xuanshan tribe of the human race."

Upon hearing this, Wei Guang was taken aback.

If Houtu had merely sent the Xuan Turtle into reincarnation, it would have been a trivial matter, and Wei Guang wouldn't have given it much thought. But now that she has directly revealed the Xuan Turtle's reincarnation, it's something worth pondering.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Guang asked, "Is there anything Your Highness needs me to do?"

Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious or deceitful. Houtu, a sage, would never play tricks on a junior like Wei Guang. So, it must be that she needs Wei Guang's help with something inconvenient.

"I am unable to leave the Underworld, so I hope you can go to the Witch Clan on my behalf and persuade them to move into the Underworld."

Although Houtu has attained enlightenment, her path to enlightenment differs from that of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others. Because the Wu tribe lacks a primordial spirit, she can only rely on the Six Paths of Reincarnation to attain enlightenment and be reborn in an alternative way.

Of course, with her current level of cultivation, even without leaving the Underworld, it wouldn't be difficult for her to notify Jiufeng and the others.

She simply saw that Wei Guang was extraordinary and wished to use this small matter to establish a good relationship.

Given Wei Guang's background, he will surely be no ordinary person in the future. Forming a good relationship with him now may bring a glimmer of hope to the Wu tribe in the future.

"I'll give this to you," Houtu said, taking out an item and handing it to Wei Guang.

It was a ruler only one foot long, surrounded by primordial energy and faintly glowing with purple light. Countless Daoist runes rose and fell on the ruler, with two large characters written in innate divine script at the very center.

Measuring the sky.

"The Primordial Measuring Ruler?" Upon seeing the ruler, Wei Guang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Wei Guang could not help but be surprised.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler is a treasure of acquired merit formed by condensing one-tenth of the merit of creation and the two energies of Xuanhuang. It is as famous as the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth owned by Laozi.

The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda is for defense, while the Primordial Measuring Ruler is for killing.

The two treasures are truly top-tier treasures comparable to innate treasures. They may be slightly inferior, but they are definitely much stronger than the acquired merit treasures that Wei Guang can refine.

Because the merits of the Great Dao and the merits of the Heavenly Dao are not on the same level at all, not to mention the blessing of the Xuanhuang Qi.

Wei Guang never expected that Hou Tu would be so generous. He was so excited by this unexpected opportunity that his heart was pounding.

No wonder we've never heard of the Primordial Measuring Ruler; it turns out it's in the hands of the Witch Clan.

The Wu tribe has no primordial spirit and does not cultivate magic power, so even if they have this supreme treasure, they cannot use it. Naturally, no one knows that the Primordial Measuring Ruler is in their hands.

Of course, even if they knew, it would be useless, because the Witch Clan was not someone to be trifled with, and no one dared to forcibly rob them.

reject?

That is impossible.

Such a treasure is irresistible to anyone, including Wei Guang, who could just happen to have it and it would satisfy his need to kill without incurring any karmic consequences.

As for the remains of the Chaos Demon God, they can be refined into other supreme treasures.

Who would complain about having too many babies?

"Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Your Majesty. I will do my utmost to fulfill any request Your Majesty may have in the future." Wei Guang said as he accepted the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

Wei Guang wasn't stupid; if it were just an errand, Hou Tu wouldn't be so generous.

Houtu wanted to establish a good relationship or a karmic connection with him. The Wu tribe might come to demand repayment of this karmic debt in the future, but we'll deal with that in the future.

Get the benefits first, then worry about the rest.

However, Wei Guang didn't give a definitive answer, only saying that he would do his best, but if he couldn't help the Wu Clan even with all his efforts, then he couldn't be blamed.

You can't risk your life for a treasure, right? I think Houtu understands this principle.

"good."

Houtu nodded in satisfaction, then her figure dissipated and returned to the cycle of reincarnation.

Wei Guang looked at the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler with delight before putting it away and then turning into starlight and disappearing into the underworld.

When Wei Guang reappeared, he was already at the foot of the Buzhou Mountain ruins.

After the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, although only one-tenth of the Lich King's people survived, there were still tens of millions scattered around. Led by great shamans such as Jiufeng and Xingtian, they gathered near the ruins of Buzhou Mountain, which is where the Pangu Temple is located.

"Who goes there?"

As soon as Wei Guang arrived, he was discovered by Xing Tian. With an angry shout, Wei Guang was immediately surrounded by Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, ​​and other great witches.

Wei Guang glanced around and saw that Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, ​​Feng Bo, and other great shamans were all there, but Da Yi was nowhere to be seen.

Da Yi did not die in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, and there was no story of Chang'e flying to the moon before that. So where did Da Yi go? Was he not here, or was there another reason?

"I am Xuan Guang Daoist of the Jie Sect. I have come here on the orders of Lady Pingxin." Where Da Yi was was none of Wei Guang's concern, so he did not think much of it and gave a slight bow to everyone.

"Empress Pingxin?"

Upon hearing this title, Jiu Feng and the others frowned slightly. For some reason, even though they had never heard this title before, they felt a strange sense of familiarity with it.

Wei Guang explained, "Pingxin Niangniang is none other than the ancient Houtu Ancestral Witch."

"What?" Jiufeng exclaimed in shock, "Ancestral Witch Houtu isn't dead?"

Wei Guang nodded: "That's right, but I don't know the specifics either. You may need to go and inquire for yourselves. Empress Pingxin is waiting for you deep in the Blood Sea, and she wants you to move there."

Since the underworld has not yet appeared, all spirits do not know its location, so Wei Guang was referring to the depths of the Blood Sea.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Feng and the others were overjoyed.

They thought the Wu tribe was finished, but unexpectedly, the Ancestral Wu Houtu was still alive. Thus, in the end, the Wu tribe had the last laugh in the war between the Wu and the demons.

However, when they heard Houtu Zuwu ask them to relocate to the depths of the Blood Sea, they fell silent again.
