Chapter 56: Xuan Chu Instructs Hou Tu
Hongjun personally descended upon the prehistoric world and persuaded the Styx River to give Houtu the green light to evolve into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. However, just as Houtu was about to transform into reincarnation, Xuan Chu returned.
In the chaos, Hongjun fought Xuanchu to prevent him from returning to the prehistoric world. However, Hongjun discovered that Xuanchu, who had advanced to the Hunyuan Wuji Dalu Golden Immortal realm, was beyond his control even though he was already at the Heavenly Dao realm.
The two fought for hundreds of rounds in the chaos. Hongjun was suppressed by Xuanchu at every turn. Even with the support of the power of the Heavenly Dao, it was to no avail. After all, this was in the chaos, and Hongjun could only mobilize a pitifully small amount of the Heavenly Dao's essence. He was no match for Xuanchu at all.
The clash between Xuan Chu and Hong Jun shattered several stars in an instant, and even the primordial world trembled. This earth-shattering battle finally attracted the attention of the Great Dao.
With the emergence of the Great Dao River and the arrival of the Great Dao's will, the Great Dao recognized Xuan Chu's identity and allowed him to continue living in the Primordial World. However, there was one condition: Xuan Chu was not allowed to act rashly in the Primordial World. If the Primordial World faced destruction because of Xuan Chu, the Great Dao would not hesitate to eliminate him. Similarly, Hong Jun would be the same, since Hong Jun, being in the Heavenly Dao Realm, was equivalent to a Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian.
After the Great Dao River receded, Xuan Chu looked at Hong Jun with a mocking expression and said, "How about it, Hong Jun? Still want to obstruct me?"
Hongjun's face was extremely grim. The sense of superiority he had painstakingly regained after merging with the Dao vanished instantly. However, the will of the Great Dao could not be defied, not even by the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, he had no way to stop Xuan Chu from returning to the Primordial World. But Hongjun was unwilling to admit his defeat, so he said, "Xuan Chu, the will of the Great Dao cannot be defied. I will allow you to return to the Primordial World. However, you understand the meaning of the Great Dao. I hope you will cherish the opportunity given to you by the Great Dao."
"Hehe, Hongjun, you don't need to worry about that. If you stop obstructing me, then I'm not in the mood to argue with you anymore. Farewell!" Xuan Chu had no intention of continuing to argue with Hongjun. He had been away from the prehistoric world for so long, and he was really worried, especially since Hongjun had actually achieved Dao after he returned. Heaven knows what Hongjun might have done to the Wu Clan. Now he just wanted to return to the prehistoric world as soon as possible.
After Xuan Chu entered the prehistoric world, guided by the Hunyuan Sword, he arrived at the Blood Sea.
"Greetings, Uncle!" The Twelve Ancestral Witches greeted Xuan Chu with great excitement.
"Alright, get up!" Xuan Chu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all twelve Ancestral Witches were unharmed. He was relieved that Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao had not succeeded.
"Minghe greets Senior Xuanchu!" Upon seeing Xuanchu, a powerful figure on par with Hongjun, Minghe greeted him with trepidation.
"The Styx?" Xuan Chu stared at the Styx. Among the Hongjun of his previous life, there were two most tragic and most defiant figures: Kunpeng and the Styx. Knowing that there was no Primordial Purple Qi, he established the Asura Clan and the Asura Sect, intending to emulate the Heavenly Dao Saints, but unfortunately, he became a laughing stock.
Xuan Chu simply nodded to the Styx River, then asked the Twelve Ancestral Witches, "What are you doing in the Blood Sea?" Hadn't he instructed them not to leave the Pangu Palace unnecessarily? Why had they come all this way to the Blood Sea?
"Uncle, this is what happened..." Dijiang told Xuanchu the whole story of how they came to the Blood Sea and everything that had just happened there.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Chu felt a lingering fear. He glanced at the rich aura of the Ancestral Witches within Hou Tu's body and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had returned in time, otherwise, he would have almost let that old schemer Hong Jun succeed.
"Houtu, do you want to evolve into reincarnation?" Xuan Chu asked Houtu.
"Uncle, Houtu is a descendant of the father god Pangu. Now that the primordial world is in need, Houtu has an inescapable responsibility." Houtu told Xuan Chu her thoughts.
"Sigh..." Xuan Chu sighed and said, "Hou Tu, do you know what the consequences will be if you were to evolve into the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
"Houtu knows." Houtu nodded and said that she was naturally aware of the consequences of her evolving into the cycle of reincarnation.
"Since you know all this, don't you think it's a pity?" Xuan Chu asked again.
"No!" Houtu shook her head and said, "This is Houtu's mission. The meaning of the Wu tribe's existence is to protect the primordial world left by our father. Since Houtu has the ability to perfect the primordial world, what's wrong with sacrificing Houtu herself?"
"What? Why must we sacrifice her? Sister Houtu, what exactly is this cycle of reincarnation?" The eleventh Ancestral Witch was alarmed when she heard that the evolution of reincarnation would involve sacrificing Houtu. What was going on?
Xuan Chu explained, "To evolve the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Houtu needs to sacrifice her Ancestral Witch body and transform into the cycle of reincarnation. Without the Ancestral Witch body, Houtu would no longer be an Ancestral Witch, nor even a member of the Witch Clan. As the saying goes, once reincarnation arrives, Houtu is no longer a Witch!"
"What!" Upon hearing this, the eleven Ancestral Witches were all shocked. They had not expected that Houtu's sacrifice in evolving the Six Paths of Reincarnation would be so great.
"That won't do. Houtu is of paramount importance to the Wu Clan. What kind of Twelve Ancestral Witches would they be without Houtu? Besides, once Houtu is gone, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation will cease to exist. What will we use to fight the Demon Clan then? No matter how important the Six Paths of Reincarnation is, it is not as important to us as Houtu. I strongly disagree," Zhu Jiuyin hurriedly said.
The other ancestral witches also agreed with Zhu Jiuyin's statement, saying they disagreed with Houtu's evolution of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Despite the eleven Ancestral Witches' attempts to persuade her, Houtu remained unmoved. She said, "Uncle, brothers and sisters, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Our Father God created the primordial world, and we, his descendants, have an obligation to make it better. Now that the primordial world is flawed, I, Houtu, have the ability to improve it, so I should do my duty without hesitation."
Houtu's spirit of great love is hard to understand, but it is also very admirable. The eleven ancestral witches wanted to persuade her, but they didn't know where to start. They could only look at Xuan Chu. They knew that Houtu had always respected Xuan Chu, her uncle, the most. As long as Xuan Chu disagreed, Houtu would not dare to go her own way.
But Xuan Chu laughed and said, "Very well, Hou Tu, you truly deserve to be a descendant of Brother Pangu. Your spirit of great love is comparable to that of Brother Pangu in his incarnation as Pangu. Since your mind is made up, then I will grant your wish!"
"Uncle!" Upon hearing that Xuan Chu had agreed to Hou Tu's evolution of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the eleven ancestral witches were greatly shocked.
"Alright, that's enough. It's true that Houtu is your sister, but she has the right to decide her own future. Besides, with me here, do you think I would let her sacrifice herself in vain?" Xuan Chu said.
Xuan Chu's words ignited hope in the eyes of the eleven Ancestral Witches. The reason they disagreed with Hou Tu's evolution of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was precisely because they feared Hou Tu's demise. If Xuan Chu could protect Hou Tu, then it wouldn't be impossible.
"Uncle, but if Houtu doesn't offer up her Ancestral Witch body, she won't be able to evolve the Six Paths of Reincarnation at all!" Houtu was puzzled. To evolve the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she had to offer up her Ancestral Witch body, but she didn't have a primordial spirit. Once she lost her physical body, it would be equivalent to her death.
Xuan Chu smiled and said, "Indeed, to evolve the Six Paths of Reincarnation, you need your Ancestral Witch body. But if you don't have a physical body, can't you rebuild it? Your evolution of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a contribution to the Primordial World. When the merit descends, it can rebuild your physical body. At the same time, after losing the Ancestral Witch body, you can possess a primordial spirit."
"Really?" Houtu was overjoyed. The lack of a primordial spirit was the biggest flaw of the Wu clan. If this flaw could be remedied, Houtu would have a dilemma. She said, "Uncle, but without the Ancestral Witch, Houtu would no longer be the Ancestral Witch. Even if I were still alive, I would not be able to continue summoning the illusory image of the Father God. What would become of our Wu clan in the future war with the demon race?"
Another significance of Houtu's existence is to set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation with the Eleven Ancestral Witches and summon the phantom of Pangu. Without the Ancestral Witches, Houtu would no longer be an Ancestral Witch, and even if she lived, she would not be of any help to the Witch Clan.
"It's alright. You can give me a drop of Ancestral Witch's essence blood. I will select a Great Witch from the Witch Clan to inherit this and help them advance to the Ancestral Witch level. They will still be able to summon the Pangu phantom." Xuan Chu already had a solution to this problem.
"Excellent, thank you for your guidance, Uncle!" With all the problems resolved, Houtu could finally happily begin to evolve the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
