Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

Hongjun and the others frowned as they looked at the large formation rising in front of them.

"What should we do?"

The Ten Thousand Demons Formation is not difficult to break. With their cultivation level, breaking this formation is not a difficult task.

But what happens after this formation is broken?

They also have to deal with Rahu's attack, which is waiting in ambush.

At that time, they did not believe that Rahu would give them time to recover.

Moreover, judging from Rahu's actions today, Rahu must have a backup plan; otherwise, he would never have dared to make the first move.

After all, among those present, Hongjun and Yangmei's cultivation levels were comparable to Luo Hou's.

Even though the Yin-Yang Daoist and the Qiankun Daoist were slightly less powerful than Luo Hou, their cultivation levels weren't that much different.

After all, they all had precious treasures protecting them.

Even so, Rahu remained fearless, which shows that Rahu's backup plan must be quite formidable.

Once they have exhausted themselves breaking the Ten Thousand Demons Formation, how will they face Rahu, who has a backup plan and is in his prime?

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, is there still no news from Fellow Daoist Jing Shi?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun pondered for a moment and then looked at Ancestor Yangmei.

"No!"

In fact, he tried to contact Qin Ming when the war between the three races was nearing its end.

After all, he also knew that Luo Hou possessed a spiritual treasure closely related to Qin Ming.

However, no matter how he tried to contact Qin Ming, he received no response.

At this moment, even Ancestor Yangmei had no idea what Qin Ming's plans were.

"Very well, if that's the case, then we'll retreat for now!"

"This difficulty is not only our difficulty, but the difficulty of all living beings in the primordial world!"

"Once Rahu unifies the primordial world, no living being in the entire primordial world will be able to survive!"

"We call upon all living beings of the primordial world to join us in thwarting Rahu's conspiracy; this would be a great act of merit!"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun sighed and then addressed the crowd.

"good!"

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Yang Mei and the others naturally had no objections.

In this situation, they have no other choice but to use this method.

Although doing so will reduce the merit they ultimately gain, it is currently the only option.

After all, they need to maintain their peak combat strength to fight Rahu. Otherwise, if they are defeated by Rahu, they will not only fail to gain merit, but they will also have difficulty saving their lives.

After agreeing on the time for the decisive battle, Hongjun and his three companions split into four groups to gather the cultivators of the prehistoric world to fight against the demon race.

On the other side, near the central battlefield, the thirty-six divine pearls turned into dust and disappeared into the water.

These are the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Inside the Divine Pearl, the Five Elements Daoist's primordial spirit, enveloping the Origin and the Five Elements Wheel, looked at Qin Ming, bowed deeply in a Daoist salute, and said gratefully, "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Jing Shi for saving me. I have no way to repay this kindness. If you ever need anything in the future, I will do my utmost!"

"Save you?"

"No, no, no, I didn't come here to save you!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's face showed a hint of disdain.

"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, the Five Elements Daoist's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Qin Ming warily.

"Fellow Daoist Five Elements, you seem to have a short memory. Look, who is she?"

Seeing the bewildered Five Elements Daoist, Qin Ming's lips curled up, and he circulated his magic power. The next moment, a spatial passage appeared in this world.

A graceful figure slowly emerged from the spatial passage.

The person who came was none other than Houtu.

Previously, a thousand years after Qin Ming preached to Styx in the Blood Sea, he set off for Buzhou Mountain, found Houtu, gave her the origin of reincarnation, and helped her refine herself into a clone. Then they came to this battlefield together.

The reason he didn't take action was because he had bigger things to do.

Coincidentally, when the three races were defeated and Rahu made his move, Qin Ming knew Rahu's intentions. So he used the Chaos Pearl and the Boundless Bell to conceal the secrets of heaven and hide near the battlefield.

Sure enough, not long after, they saw the Five Elements Daoist self-destruct his Dao body and his primordial spirit escape. So they took action and absorbed him into the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls.

Because Qin Ming acted extremely quickly, and with the Chaos Pearl and the Wushi Bell working together to conceal the secrets of heaven, plus the fact that Hongjun and the others were focused on Luo Hou at the time, no one noticed that he and Houtu had been hiding near the battlefield.

Looking at Houtu, the Five Elements Taoist's expression changed drastically.

How could he have forgotten about that?

Back then, in order to seize the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, he not only attacked Houtu, but also instigated Tianlong and others to besiege and kill Houtu, which almost led to Houtu's death.

If Qin Ming's Boundless Bell hadn't unleashed its power at the crucial moment, Houtu might have perished on that very day.

How can such a huge cause and effect be resolved?

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Please spare my life, fellow Daoist!"

The Five Elements Daoist looked at Houtu and Qin Ming in horror!

"Forget about any other plans. Even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't be able to leave here!"

"Moreover, with only your primordial spirit remaining, you can't even self-destruct your primordial spirit in this place!"

"Every living being must pay the price for its actions. Back then, you coveted the treasure and almost harmed Houtu. It was only because you hid yourself well enough all these years, and because I was busy with important matters, that you were able to live for so many more years."

"Houtu, act! But don't damage that primordial energy!"

As he spoke, Qin Ming's thoughts stirred, and a torrent of seawater swept down, dispersing the Five Elements Laws that were reversing within the Five Elements Daoist's primordial spirit. He then gave instructions to Houtu.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Qin Ming!"

Upon hearing this, Houtu smiled and summoned the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc: "Since you covet this supreme treasure, then today I will use it to send you on your way!"

"Throughout the six realms of reincarnation, your icy soul will be forever sealed!"

As Houtu activated the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, her magical power circulated, and the rich laws of reincarnation intertwined, forming an absolute domain.

Within this realm, even space and time are frozen.

The Five Elements Daoist's primordial spirit was frozen at a visible speed, and then completely perished in the endless cold.

After doing all this, Houtu reached out and inhaled, and the Five Elements Origin and the Five Elements Wheel appeared in Qin Ming's hand in the next moment.

"Brother Qin Ming, you don't want this Five Elements Origin for your third disciple, Lu Ming, do you?"

Houtu looked at Qin Ming with curiosity.

"No, these Five Elements Origin were prepared by me for my seventh disciple who has not yet been born."

Although Lu Ming also cultivates the Five Elements Law, he mainly cultivates the Extreme Flame Law.

Giving the Five Elements to Lu Ming is such a waste.

"Seventh disciple?"

Houtu was taken aback, then looked at Qin Ming with a puzzled expression.

"My seven disciples are no ordinary people. They are exceptionally talented. Even without any teacher, they have all mastered the Five Elements Divine Power. Below the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, none can rival them. I wish to take them as my disciples and teach them with care."

As he spoke, Qin Ming's eyes shone brightly, piercing through endless space, watching as Yuan Feng encountered the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi on her way back with her clansmen.

This energy instantly entered Yuanfeng's body, and with the help of Yuanfeng's essence, it nurtured two embryos.

These two embryos would later become the first peacock and the first golden-winged roc in the world.

If it weren't for important matters at hand, Qin Ming might have already planned to find Yuan Feng and ask her to entrust him with the education of her future son.

"Alright, Brother Qin Ming, shall we continue setting up the Boundless Purification Array and the Thick Earth Tortoise Shell Array?"

Houtu, though puzzled, did not ask further questions, but instead inquired about it.

"Naturally, it's not enough to just set up the layout; we also need to manage the earth's veins during the process. Only in this way can we prepare for the calamities to come!"

Qin Ming nodded solemnly.
