Primordial Era: Unparalleled Comprehension, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Three Immortals

Chapter 71 The Mystery of Houtu, Chen Qing Resolves the Mystery.

After Hou Yi and Chen Qing entered the Wu tribe, they stopped when they arrived at the main hall.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, please allow me to go in and inform the Ancestral Witch Houtu."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing immediately nodded in understanding and told Hou Yi to go ahead.

Upon seeing this, Hou Yi immediately turned and walked into the main hall, where Chen Qing waited quietly.

In just a short while, Hou Yi had already come out from inside.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, the Ancestral Witch Houtu invites you to come in. Please follow me inside."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Hou Yi, now that the Ancestral Witch Houtu has agreed, let's go in quickly."

The two entered the main hall one after the other and arrived at the main entrance.

Chen Qing looked at the person sitting above and a smile appeared on his face.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, it has been many years since we last met. Your strength has grown even more powerful."

Houtu listened to Chen Qing's words and looked at Chen Qing.

"Chen Qing, it's been many years. Your strength has increased considerably. I was quite surprised that you were able to escape from Zhunti's grasp."

Chen Qing smiled bitterly upon hearing what Houtu, the ancestral witch, said.

"Houtu Ancestral Witch, I have no choice. Sage Zhunti has not yet truly unleashed his power. If he had, I would probably have no power to resist at all, and I would have been suppressed in an instant."

Houtu listened to Chen Qing's words and looked at Chen Qing with great interest.

"Hou Yi, if there's nothing else, you should go back first. I'd like to chat with my young friend Chen Qing some more."

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi bowed to Hou Tu and then withdrew.

"Chen Qing, since you were able to escape from the hands of the Sage Zhunti, your cultivation of the primordial spirit must be quite good as well."

"I've always had a question, and I wonder if you could help me answer it?"

"Don't worry, if you can help me solve this problem, the reward I give you will definitely not disappoint you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat. He was somewhat unsure and tentatively began to speak.

"If you have any doubts, please speak them out. Although my cultivation is not high, it is not bad either."

Upon hearing this, Houtu immediately voiced her doubts.

"Chen Qing, I've always had a premonition that something is missing from this primordial world, but I just can't put my finger on what it is. There's a mysterious pull, but I always feel that the time isn't right yet."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing understood.

"Ancestral Witch Houtu, I know what your doubts are, but please forgive my rudeness, I cannot speak of them now, otherwise the Ancestral Witch will lose the initiative."

Houtu looked at Chen Qing with a puzzled expression after hearing this.

"Is this true? You really know?"

Chen Qing nodded solemnly, indicating that he really knew.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, why would I lie to you about this? This matter is of great merit to the primordial world."

"This matter is something that the Great God Pangu overlooked when he created heaven and earth, so it needs to be completed by someone who possesses the bloodline of Pangu."

"I imagine there must be other reasons why the great god Pangu chose you, but I cannot reveal them."

"If the Ancestral Witch Houtu believes in me, she can come with me to the primordial land to take a look."

Houtu looked at Chen Qing after hearing this, and was already seven or eight parts convinced.

"Chen Qing, I will accompany you to the primordial world and travel with you."

"You've cleared up my doubts. As I said, I won't let you down. Now, come with me."

With a sense of doubt, Chen Qing followed Hou Tu.

The two arrived at a house, pushed open the door, and went inside.

"This place contains the rare and precious treasures of heaven and earth that my Houtu tribe has collected over the years."

"My people, the Witch Clan, do not know how to use them, so they have been stored here. You may choose any three items as your reward for solving your doubts."

Chen Qing looked at the contents inside, his eyes filled with shock.

The sight of hundreds of rare and precious treasures placed there, along with numerous innate spiritual treasures, was truly awe-inspiring.

"Ancestral Witch Houtu, this reward is too heavy for me to accept."

Houtu waved her hand casually upon hearing this.

"It's alright, go in and choose. The things placed here are things that my witch clan doesn't need."

Hearing this, Chen Qing walked inside and began to make his selections.

He saw a large mass of primordial energy and, without saying a word, immediately accepted it.

Then, I saw a yellow fruit tree with yellow plums hanging on it.

This is none other than Huang Zhongli, the top of the ten supreme innate spiritual roots.

This yellow plum actually appeared in the treasure trove of the Wu tribe's Houtu.

This is the top of the ten supreme innate spiritual roots, the Yellow Plum, which has the effect of suppressing fortune, and its ability to suppress fortune is several levels stronger than that of supreme innate spiritual treasures.

The reason why the West can prosper without worrying about the loss of its fortune is that it certainly cannot rely solely on the twelve-petaled golden lotus.

It is nothing more than the very essence of the sage Cundi, the Bodhi tree.

After the sage Zhunti attained sainthood, the Bodhi tree became even more effective at suppressing fortune, comparable to a supreme innate treasure.

After taking Huang Zhongli, they found a large cauldron among the pile of spiritual treasures.

It is none other than the Qiankun Cauldron, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure containing forty-eight layers of restrictions.

These three treasures are all of great use to him.

The first treasure is the Primordial Chaos Qi, which he can keep for future use. The Primordial Chaos Qi is extremely rare and a truly precious item.

The second and third items can suppress the fortune of the human race, and also suppress the fortune of the Jie Sect.

After all, the fortune of the Jie Sect has been constantly declining. If the fortune of the Jie Sect were to stop declining, then those with heavy karma could be gradually eliminated to prevent them from ruining the reputation of the Jie Sect.

The reason why the Tongtian Sect Leader recruited so many disciples was to suppress the fortune of the Jie Sect with the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

But the very thing that brought him success was also the thing that brought him failure.

If there are better options available now, then of course we'll choose the better ones.

After taking the three treasures, he walked towards Houtu, the Ancestral Witch.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, I want these three treasures."

Houtu looked at the treasures Chen Qing had chosen and nodded in agreement.

"I've tried this yellow gas, but it's completely useless."

"The plums from this yellow fruit tree are quite delicious, but unfortunately, it was on demon territory at the time, so I uprooted it and brought it back with me."

"This large cauldron is of no use to the Wu tribe."

"Now that you've made your choice, let's go."

Chen Qing stored the three treasures in his Purple Mansion and began to nurture them with the power of the Star River.

The two returned to the hall and sat down.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, looked at Chen Qing with a smile on her face.

"Young friend Chen Qing, I never imagined that you not only possess a powerful physical body, but also that your primordial spirit realm has reached such a terrifying level."

"Those who can escape the teachings of the sages are few and far between in the primordial world."

Hearing what Houtu, the ancestral witch, said, Chen Qing smiled helplessly.

"Please stop teasing me, Houtu. I had no choice. At the last moment, my master appeared. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

He cannot stop the power of a sage now, but who knows what the future holds.

At least now he knows how big the gap is between himself and a sage.
