Chapter 74: Chapter 74 [Houtu Proves the Dao, Mountain Rain Is Coming] (Please Subscribe)

Lady Houtu’s complexion turned unsightly to the utmost.

The faces of Emperor Jiang and other Ancestor Witches also involuntarily covered a layer of frost. Lady Houtu’s certification as Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal should have been good news for the Witch Clan, but if Lady Houtu could not join the battle, their loss of an Ancestor Witch would mean that even if they could barely arrange the "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array," its power would be greatly reduced!

This was undoubtedly bad news for the Witch Clan, and it might very well affect the final outcome of the war.

Zhu Rong was hot-tempered and was about to curse on the spot, but before he could speak out, he was stopped by Lady Houtu. Defying the Heavenly Dao was not a good thing.

"This palace understands!"

Lady Houtu immediately nodded her agreement.

Seeing Lady Houtu’s acquiescence, the image of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun reflected by the power of the Heavenly Dao dissipated into the invisible.

"Congratulations to Lady Houtu for your certification!" Taiching said, intending to ease the atmosphere: "The words of the Daoist Ancestor are also for the sake of the Primordial World. If the Saints were to participate in the tribulation, with the Saints’ power, I fear that in a short time, the Primordial World would be at risk of reverting back to the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind!"

"Being compassionate at heart, you surely would not want things to develop to that stage!"

"With the existence of the World of Darkness and with Lady Houtu here, no matter who wins or loses in the great war between the Witch and Demon Clan, the World of Darkness can ensure the Witch Clan’s bloodline continues unbroken!"

Lady Houtu, with the Reincarnation, certified as Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, was on equal footing with them.

Therefore, Taiching also advised her kindly, not wanting Lady Houtu to be at loggerheads with the Heavenly Dao.

"What you say is reasonable!"

Lady Houtu did not retort but simply said: "However, this palace is, after all, from the Witch Clan, there are some matters I must consider for the Witch Clan!"

Everyone showed understanding.

Seeing this, Lady Houtu continued: "I have some words I wish to discuss privately with these elder brothers of mine; I fear I may have to neglect you, my Daoist friends, for a moment!"

As she spoke, a power of Reincarnation transmitted, and the World of Darkness immediately revealed a sense of rejection, involuntarily excluding Xuanqing and the six Saints of the Heavenly Dao from the World of Darkness.

"Xuanqing, for the matter of the physical body, consider this a favor owed by this palace!"

"There will be a generous reward in the future!"

Of course, Lady Houtu was rather proper; while sending the six Saints of the Heavenly Dao and Xuanqing out of the World of Darkness, she openly acknowledged owing Xuanqing a favor.

"Is this Mount Tai?"

Taiching frowned slightly, then turned to Xuanqing to say: "Did you discover the existence of the World of Darkness long ago?"

"Yes, Grand Master!"

Hearing this, Xuanqing sheepishly said: "Indeed, nothing escapes your Dharma Eye! When I was refining the luck of this land, under Mount Tai, I accidentally discovered this passage between the Yin Yang Two Realms! This is also why I was able to establish the ’Ghost Immortal System’ here!"

Yuanshi Tianzun then frowned and said: "The physical body for Lady Houtu, did you craft it?"

The emergence from the Netherworld, the opening of Reincarnation, Lady Houtu’s certification as Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, each and every event could significantly affect the current situation of the Primordial, Yuanshi Tianzun could not help but be concerned.

Xuanqing glanced nervously at Nuwa, then at Tongtian Sect Master: "Yes, Second Master Uncle! Didn’t I see Lady Houtu transform into Reincarnation, seizing a glimmer of hope for all living beings, thus I could not bear to see her True Spirit without a support?"

"Moreover, previously in Taixu Heaven, Holy Mother kindly transmitted to me the ’Mediation Creation’ technique, didn’t I think to try it as a last resort?"

"What I did, in fact, did not affect the big picture; what really worked was the Merit of the Great Dao!"

Hearing this, Tongtian Sect Master could not help but praise: "You’ve done well! If there is no retribution for good and evil, Heaven and Earth must have bias. Seizing a glimmer of hope for all beings, seizing a glimmer of hope for Lady Houtu, is truly in line with the doctrine of Jie Sect!"

As for Nuwa, although she did not speak, she also slightly nodded her head.

Jieyin Daoist wanted to say something, but realizing he couldn’t fit a word in, could only pull Zhunti Daoist to nod as a farewell to Tongtian Sect Master and the others.

Nuwa subsequently disappeared without a trace.

Taiching Laozi, after briefly communicating with Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master, then returned to Shouyang Mountain with Xuanqing and the two others.

Houtu’s ascension was an event significant enough to affect the entire Primordial World. As The Three Pure Ones always moved together, they naturally had to discuss how to secure benefits for the Xuan Sect in the future.

Elsewhere.

Houtu looked at Emperor Jiang and the others but didn’t know how to start. Her development of reincarnation was a spur-of-the-moment action; she hadn’t even had the time to discuss it with the other Ancestor Witches.

Ultimately, it was Emperor Jiang who spoke first: "Don’t worry about it! What that Taiching guy said does have some truth to it! This can also be considered preparing a way out for our Witch Clan!"

His words revealed an authoritarian attitude that brooked no opposition: "As for the Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array, I can just find a Great Witch from the tribes to take over!"

"I think Xingtian is quite suitable!"

"His strength is nearly on par with the Ancestor Witches, and he has comprehended the War Great Dao. As long as we concentrate resources on nurturing him, there is a high possibility that he could be promoted to an Ancestor Witch!"

As the leader of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, Emperor Jiang saw far more than what the others did. Long ago, he anticipated that the struggle between the Witch and Demon Clans could follow in the footsteps of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans.

Yet as a descendant of Pangu, he was unwilling to simply submit to fate; this obstinate refusal led him to insist on a decisive battle with the Demon Clan.

"Big brother!"

Houtu sighed and then the light of the Great Dao around her shimmered, solidifying into a Dao Seed: "This Dao Seed contains my comprehension of the Earth Great Dao and the Reincarnation Great Dao. Perhaps it can lend Xingtian a helping hand!"

Emperor Jiang immediately nodded and then said with a smile: "Don’t worry! Our Witch Clan will not lose! However, you being alone in the Netherworld does indeed seem a little lonely! How about I ask Jiufeng to bring some clan members to keep you company?"

"Oh right!"

"Kua Fu, that guy, even though he barely reconstructed his physical body, will find it difficult to recover without a dozen or so eon. I will have him come to the Netherworld to cultivate!"

"It’ll be just right for you to give him some guidance!"

Although Emperor Jiang smiled very brightly, Houtu could clearly see he was forcing a smile. Out of respect for her big brother, she didn’t expose his act!

She nodded firmly: "As big brother instructs, I await good news from my elder brothers!"

It didn’t take long for the word to spread across the entire Primordial World that Houtu had become a Saint but was restricted by a Heavenly decree from intervening in the great war between the Witch and Demon Clans.

Emperor Jun felt a great relief.

On the side of the Demon Clan, with Nuwa aloof from the world and avoiding karma, she couldn’t be relied upon.

If Houtu were able to intervene, then the Demon Clan would simply have no chance of resisting the Witch Clan!

However, despite having perfected the Celestial Stars Battle Formation and forged the Sorcerer Slayer Sword, he did not have absolute confidence that he could defeat the Witch Clan after several eons.

After some thought, he summoned Xi He: "Houtu developed reincarnation, leaving a path of retreat for the Witch Clan! I want you to take You Wen to Wa Palace, to seek protection from Wa Emperor for our Demon Clan’s last bloodline!"

Xi He shook her head: "Just send You Wen. Until Hou Yi is killed, I will never be at peace!"

Emperor Jun was helpless.

After the fall of the nine Golden Crows, Xi He had changed completely, always thinking about killing Hou Yi and reviving the nine Golden Crows.

He couldn’t persuade her!

The Little Golden Crow, however, was making impressive progress; after that life-and-death crisis, he successfully broke through to Daluo, and his strength ranked among the top in the ranks of Daluo Golden Immortals.

After thinking it over, he decided to take the Little Golden Crow and personally visit Wa Palace.

Although there was some estrangement between Emperor Jun and Nuwa due to the incident with the Sorcerer Slayer Sword, after all, she had enjoyed the fortune of the Demon Clan for so many years. He believed Nuwa would agree just to protect the Little Golden Crow.

Only after sending away the Little Golden Crow would he engage in the ultimate battle with the Witch Clan without any reservations.
