Chapter 576 -576: The Promise of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu (Second Update!)

Jiu Feng insisted on constructing an altar in her new cave dwelling, to open a channel between the two realms and connect with the Demonic Realm. Demon God Bai Ze tried to persuade her a few times to no avail, and eventually just let her be. Thereupon, with great mana, she summoned the Mountain God and gathered various materials, drew up the Formation, and constructed the foundation. In less than half a year, the altar capable of opening the channel between the two realms was rebuilt.

Of course, this was also because the third Infinite Cataclysm was approaching, and the Demonic Realm was already drawing closer to the Three Realms under the scheming of Demon Ancestor Lou Hu, intending to return to the Three Realms. Otherwise, even with the altar, it would have been impossible to open the channel to the Demonic Realm.

Upon the completion of the altar’s reconstruction, the Great Witch Jiu Feng channeled her Witch Primordial Force into the altar activating its Formation, and a pitch-black spatial channel rapidly materialized about a zhang above the altar. This time, the channel that appeared was much more stable than before, which rather surprised the Great Witch Jiu Feng.

Just as she was about to make contact with the Demonic Realm on the other side of the channel, suddenly a voice came through from the channel.

“Jiu Feng, it seems that the promise you made to me has not been fulfilled yet!”

It was Demon Ancestor Lou Hu!

The Great Witch Jiu Feng’s eyebrows knitted slightly, “Lou Hu, you should be very clear about how things have proceeded; why bother with such sarcastic remarks? I’ve reconstructed the channel between the two realms, and no one will come to destroy it again!”

“Oh, is that so?”

Demon Ancestor Lou Hu’s tone carried a hint of mockery, “Are you sure that Sun Wukong will not continue to destroy the altar?”

Demon Ancestor Lou Hu was well aware of the events happening in the Three Realms due to his profound Cultivation Strength. The problem was that the channel between the Two Realms was not stable enough to bear his demonic physique, which was why he hadn’t been able to come to the Three Realms through the channel. The altar previously established on Jiu Feng Mountain had been destroyed by Sun Wukong, and the Great Witch Jiu Feng’s severe beating at the hands of Sun Wukong was also known to Lou Hu.

However, what happened after the destruction of the altar was something Demon Ancestor Lou Hu was not quite clear about; he was also waiting for the Great Witch Jiu Feng to make contact with him.

“This place is the Southern Continent!”

The Great Witch Jiu Feng spoke with a trace of anger in her tone; Demon Ancestor Lou Hu was judging by appearances, and she felt underestimated!

“There’s no need to be upset; I just wanted to confirm,”

Demon Ancestor Lou Hu’s laughter could be heard, “Jiu Feng, my promise to you still stands. As long as you help me capture Tang Seng and disrupt the Buddhist Sect’s Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures plan, I will assist you in Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint!”

“Demon Ancestor Lou Hu, right? How exactly do you plan to assist Jiu Feng in Proving the Tao? Mere words are something anyone can offer! Explain your method first—let us assess whether it’s feasible or not.”

The Great Witch Jiu Feng hadn’t even spoken when Demon God Bai Ze, who was beside her, couldn’t help but interject.

Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint was not so easy. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been only so few Heavenly Dao Saints throughout the ages. Demon Ancestor Lou Hu said he could help the Great Witch Jiu Feng Prove the Tao and Become a Saint, but that could just be lip service. Could he really achieve that?

Demon God Bai Ze expressed great skepticism!

“This one, you are the Demon God Bai Ze, right?”

“Indeed!”

“You too have proved the Tao and become a Saint. You should know that the difficulty of becoming a Saint now has greatly decreased, one only needs sufficient merit and destiny, to fully integrate the Soul’s True Spirit and the physical body. With merit and destiny as the foundation, one can prove the Tao and become a Saint, isn’t that so?”

“What if it is so? Does the Demon Ancestor think this is easy?”

Demon God Bai Ze humphed, the merit and destiny needed for one to become a Saint can be said to be colossal. Bai Ze himself had exhausted so many years of savings to luckily succeed, and Great Witch Jiu Feng had accumulated much less merit and destiny than him, not to mention the point about the Soul’s True Spirit being able to fully merge with the physical body.

Perhaps for other cultivators, merging the Soul’s True Spirit with the physical body isn’t difficult, but for the Witch Race, it is as hard as ascending to the heavens!

The Witch Race’s physique is different from other races, their physical bodies extremely formidable, comparable to those powerful races of the Demon Clan and Demon Race in terms of strength, and their Soul’s True Spirit is also extremely formidable, capable of channeling Elemental Force to wield strength greater than their own cultivation.

But precisely because of this, the compatibility between the Soul’s True Spirit and the physical body of the Witch Race can be said to be the lowest among the Myriad Races. The Soul’s True Spirit is too externally focused, making it incredibly difficult to integrate with the physical body. And to prove the Tao and become a Saint, the Soul’s True Spirit must absolutely integrate with the physical body, otherwise it is impossible to form one’s own unique imprint of the Great Dao, and the talk of becoming a Saint naturally becomes empty words.

This is also the fundamental reason why, with the arrival of the Immeasurable Catastrophe, Demon Master Kunpeng, Demon God Bai Ze, and Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen have all successively made breakthroughs, yet Great Witch Jiu Feng has always been unable to cross that one step.

Bai Ze did not believe that Demon Ancestor Luo Hu was truly so powerful that he could change the special traits of the Witch Race like Great Witch Jiu Feng’s, to let her Soul’s True Spirit and physical body merge into one?

“Not easy! Of course not easy! If it were easy, Heavenly Dao Saints wouldn’t be so rare!”

The voice of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu came from the passageway between the Two Realms. Great Witch Jiu Feng couldn’t help but widen her eyes, about to erupt in fury, but then she heard Demon Ancestor Luo Hu’s tone shift, “But not easy doesn’t mean impossible! What others cannot do does not mean this Ancestor cannot! Witch Dao and Demonic Path are extremely similar, I just need to use the Demonic Path to guide Jiu Feng’s Witch Dao, aiding her Soul Origin’s True Spirit and physical body to fully merge together. Gathering enough merit and destiny needed for proving the Tao is still not a small matter for you all?”

Upon hearing this, Great Witch Jiu Feng’s heart shook, and Demon God Bai Ze had no more reason to retort. It was quite apparent that Demon Ancestor Luo Hu had conducted considerable research on this matter, otherwise, he couldn’t have pinpointed the crux of the problem and proposed a solution so promptly; it seemed his promise did not appear to be made in vain.

“Luo Hu, I will provide as much assistance as possible, to help you catch that Tang Seng. I hope your word is bond!”

Great Witch Jiu Feng said gravely, pausing for a moment, then a ruthless gleam flashed in her eyes, “If you dare deceive me, the wrath of Jiu Feng is not so easily borne!”

“Hahaha, rest assured! There has never been a promise made by this Ancestor that was not fulfilled. As long as you accomplish the agreed-upon matter, this Ancestor will definitely help you attain Saint-dom!”

The voice of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu disappeared into the passageway between the Two Realms. Several figures emerged from it, the new spies sent by the Demon Race, for capturing Jiang Liu’er still required the Demon Race’s direct involvement. Great Witch Jiu Feng was only to assist from the side to avoid incurring karma and attracting trouble.

Watching the sharp light flashing in Great Witch Jiu Feng’s eyes, Demon God Bai Ze couldn’t help but let out a silent sigh. It seemed their hostility toward Sun Wukong was truly going to intensify!

So be it, for the sake of Jiu Feng, even if it means confronting the whole world, what of it? The next time they met, he would show no mercy to Sun Wukong, and would go all out to strike a killing blow!
