Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

The gaze of the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable was fixed on the underground passage, where a similar fluctuation was observed, but this fluctuation was extremely weak and fleeting.

If it weren't for the immense power of the Primordial Celestial Venerable's primordial spirit, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect this movement: "Found her! Her true spirit is suppressed beneath the underground passage!"

Nuwa lamented, "If I had known this would happen, I should have fought against Dao Ancestor Hongjun back then! Otherwise, how could I have allowed the spirit of the Earth to escape unscathed!"

Ying Zheng comforted Nuwa: "It's alright, this is not your fault. We also did not know that Houtu was suppressed in the underground tunnel."

At the same time, Ying Zheng summoned the Primordial Purple Lotus. It had now recovered to the twenty-eighth grade.

There was even a layer of petals waiting to bloom, as if it could step into the twenty-ninth grade at any moment.

Looking at the Primordial Purple Lotus, whose aura was surging once again, everyone present looked on with envy.

This is especially true of Amitabha Buddha. His dreamlike golden lotus evolved from the merit lotus born within the thirty-six-petaled creation lotus.

Although it now possesses the power of the Dream Path to distort the origin of the Golden Lotus of Merit.

However, its terrifying defensive power has not diminished, so Amitabha Buddha has not yet found a way to make it a supreme treasure of chaos.

If one can devour this Primordial Purple Lotus, success is assured, and there is even a chance to showcase the splendor of the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus.

But Amitabha Buddha would never act in this way, nor would he dare to act in this way.

Ying Zheng looked at the Twenty-Eighth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus and instructed, "Zi Yi, take out the fragments of the incompletely digested underground Dharma Wheel; I still have a use for them!"

Within the twenty-ninth grade Primordial Purple Lotus, purple light and shadow sculpted the figure of a mature woman. The woman in purple robes said apologetically, "Master, I have absorbed it all."

Looking at the apologetic purple-clad figure, Ying Zheng's eyes widened in surprise: "So fast? That's a fragment of a Chaos Treasure!"

"Of course! Don't you even know my origins? But if Master wishes to use it to connect to the underground passage, I can do that. I seized some of the underground passage's authority from within the Underground Passage's Dharma Wheel!" the purple-robed man said proudly.

Ying Zheng's eyes also showed surprise. He sensed the changes that had occurred in the Primordial Dao, and indeed, he had gained some access to the underground passage.

"Well done!" Ying Zheng praised.

Then Ying Zheng looked at Taiqing Daode Tianzun and the others: "Everything is ready, let's begin now!"

After speaking, Ying Zheng's power silently connected to the underground passage through the twenty-eight primordial purple lotus, using the passage's authority to open a back door.

Thus, carrying the will of more than ten enlightened beings, including Taiqing Daode Tianzun, he hid in the underground passage to explore the true spirit of Houtu.

Under the guidance of the Jade Pure Primordial Celestial Venerable, Ying Zheng and his entourage have arrived at the source of the earthly origin.

However, they did not easily make contact. Because if they came into contact with the source of the underground passage, even if the authority of the underground passage concealed it, its master would still be able to detect it.

Moreover, the tunnels now possess sentience, and the existence of these spirits makes them even more sensitive.

If the underground Dharma Wheel had not been broken, causing damage to the underground passage, they would probably have been detected by the spirit of the underground passage just now.

At the same time, after Ying Zheng, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun were ready, they forcibly broke into the source of this underground passage: "Purple Robe, suppress it and sever the connection between the spirit of the underground passage and this place!"

The twenty-eight-petaled Primordial Purple Lotus bloomed above his head, suppressing this primordial space and severing the earth spirit's perception of it.

Meanwhile, the spirit of the earth, which was resting and repairing itself, sensed that its connection with the origin of the earth had been severed.

He emerged from the broken underground Dharma Wheel, the spirit of the underground passage looking anxious: "Master, someone has infiltrated the underground passage and severed my connection with the source of the underground passage!"

However, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun on the Dao Platform of Zixiao Palace suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with indifference.

The moment he swept his whisk, a round mirror formed in front of him, reflecting the situation inside the tunnel.

"So that's how it is—to save Houtu? There are still too few Dao cultivators in this Endless Chaos Sea. Houtu has a high chance of achieving Dao again through reincarnation after returning. Very well, let's send her back. But we can't let them succeed so easily, and besides, the underground passage can't be damaged any further!"

As the faint voice was conveyed, Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at the incomplete Earth Dao Dharma Wheel beside him.

Although the underground Dharma Wheel appears incomplete at this moment, two-thirds of its illusory form can still be vaguely seen.

It absorbs massive amounts of innate spiritual materials and even innate spiritual treasures to repair its own origin.

Because of the short time available, he has only repaired one-tenth of it so far, but this also shows how wealthy Dao Ancestor Hongjun is.

At the same time, a sinister smile flashed in the eyes of the spirit of the earth, his gaze fixed on Ying Zheng and Nuwa: "Master, since you're going to cause them trouble, let's make them suffer a great fall. Otherwise, their arrogance before the plan is implemented may not have much impact on you, but it's still quite annoying, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun glanced at him and said, "Di Ling'er, don't think I don't know what you're up to. So what if you suffered a loss at the hands of Ying Zheng and Nuwa? If you want to save face, then go and do it yourself!"

Thinking of Ying Zheng's formidable spear technique, Di Ling'er shuddered: "It's only because I'm no match for them that I would have attacked them long ago!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not notice that as he waved his whisk, the powers of Heaven and Earth began to overlap, and that vast power impacted the space opened up by the Twenty-Eighth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus.

At this moment, Ying Zheng forcibly erected a purple lotus barrier to protect them.

He then looked at Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun: "Second Uncle, they have been discovered. It is Dao Ancestor Hongjun who has made his move. We must finish this quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if we are trapped in the tunnel!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable quickly took action to search for the suppressed Houtu True Spirit within this Earthly Origin Space. However, he exercised restraint and did not damage the Earthly Origin.

After all, as a disciple of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun knew his teacher very well. If he were to destroy this source of the earthly origin...

Dao Ancestor Hongjun will definitely suppress him here severely. At this moment, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun is making hand seals to guide Houtu's true spirit.

In the deepest part of the primordial space of the earth, the true spirit of Houtu slumbers, sealed by chains formed from the primordial essence of the earth.

As the true spirit of Houtu gradually trembled upon emerging, the physical body of Houtu in the hands of the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable radiated a vast stream of light, attracting the true spirit and tempting it to return.

However, the binding force of the underground passage is getting stronger and stronger, which is of course the work of Di Ling'er.

Meanwhile, Ying Zheng and Taiqing Daode Tianzun were confronting external pressures from both Heaven and Earth.

He poured his vast magical power and the power of the Great Dao into the twenty-eight-petaled Primordial Purple Lotus to forcibly withstand the pressure exerted by the Heavenly and Earthly Dao.

This is the true origin space, where their Great Dao will be weakened to a certain extent; it can be said to be the home ground of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"You're quite resilient. I'd like to see what you're going to do next!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said quietly.

Then, the immortal's intervention intensified that terrifying power. The space supported by the Twenty-Eighth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus shrank again: "Second Senior Uncle, are you alright yet? You can't hold on much longer!"

Upon hearing this, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes also flashed with anxiety. He made hand seals, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and Pangu Banner above his head swayed.

Three-colored light intertwined on the Pangu Banner. The two Chaos Treasures combined to unleash a chaotic sword aura of three-colored radiance.

"Destroy!"

This vast, chaotic sword energy, amplified by the power of the Jade Purity Great Dao, shattered the chains formed by the Earthly Dao Spirit and the Earthly Dao Laws. "Clang!"

Then, the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable carefully manipulated the sword energy to envelop the True Spirit of Houtu, allowing it to return to its physical body.

Even so, Houtu's true spirit, despite being nourished by a physical body, has not yet recovered.

The true spirit is the origin of all living beings. The true spirit condenses the three souls and six spirits and then transforms into the primordial spirit.

At this moment, with her three souls, six spirits, and primordial spirit all destroyed, coupled with the suppression from the underground passage, Houtu was unable to awaken for a short period of time.

At the same time, the earthen imprint left by the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable in dispelling the true spirit of Houtu.

Now that the underground passage has been taken over by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, leaving this mark is useless and will only allow the true spirit of Houtu to be controlled by the underground passage.

However, these marks are extremely difficult to remove; no matter how much the Jade Purity Dao tries to wear them down, it only manages to erase one percent!

At the same time, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun withdrew back into the Twenty-Eight Primordial Purple Lotuses. Ying Zheng made a hand seal and said, "Nuwa, make your move!"

Nuwa, who was outside the space of the Great Dao Origin, heard Ying Zheng's voice transmission and threw out the red embroidered ball in her hand.

The threads formed from the power of endless cause and effect and the power of marriage pierced through the void and entered the tunnel, wrapping around Ying Zheng's body.

Following closely behind, the Shanhe Sheji Tu (Map of Mountains and Rivers) opened up a spatial passage, which, as Nuwa reached out and pulled Ying Zheng's 28th-grade Hongmeng Purple Lotus, led Taiqing Daode Tianzun and others out of the underground space.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the space of the Great Dao's origin: "We're finally out!"

However, from inside the Zixiao Palace came Di Ling'er's vicious words: "Consider them lucky!"

As for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he glanced at Di Ling'er indifferently and continued to comprehend the Heavenly Heart and the Great Dao without caring about her.

At the same time, Nuwa sensed the true spirit of Houtu within Houtu's physical body and discovered that a mark formed from the condensation of dense earthly power occupied nearly 90% of the true spirit of Houtu.

"No wonder she hasn't awakened yet. If these underground passage imprints aren't erased, they will suppress the revival of Houtu's true spirit. She currently has no authority over the underground passages; she only controls reincarnation!" Nuwa said, looking at Houtu with worry.
Subsequently, the power of the Great Dao of Creation, condensed by Nuwa and supported by the Great Dao of Nuwa, began to erase the imprint within.

The Great Dao of Creation inherently nurtures life, which greatly aids in the revival of Houtu's true spirit.

Ying Zheng looked at Nuwa with a solemn expression: "I'm entrusting Houtu's affairs to you!"

Hearing this, Nuwa rolled her eyes at Ying Zheng: "If you don't hand it over to me, who do you want to hand it over to? Among all the Dao-achievers, only I am skilled in creation!"

Then, Ying Zheng awkwardly touched the bridge of his nose and joined the discussion with Taiqing Daode Tianzun and others, discussing how to repair the foundation of the demonic path.

At this moment, the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity looked at the Demon Emperor Jun with a solemn expression: "Perhaps your previous idea of ​​devouring humanity can work. After all, humanity is somewhat out of control now, and the hidden dangers are too great!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jun looked at Ying Zheng with a worried expression in his eyes, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his heart.

However, Ying Zheng could easily understand that Emperor Jun's gaze was a sign that he was afraid of offending him.

Ying Zheng responded calmly: "I agree with what my senior uncle said. The origin of humanity is a mystery. It is possible that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun tampered with the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. In addition, if you can devour the spirit of humanity within them, it would be a good choice!"

After receiving a positive reply from Ying Zheng, the Demon Emperor Jun also fell into deep thought, considering whether this was a possibility.

But even after thinking about it for a long time and simulating it many times, he still failed!

Then, the Demon Emperor Jun looked dejected: "With the current broken foundation of the demon path, it is impossible to devour the human path. Even with the help of fellow Daoists, it is still the same. We need to think of another way!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng asked curiously, "How come the foundation of the demonic path is so severely damaged? If possible, could you please demonstrate the true nature of the demonic path? Without knowing the situation, we cannot provide a proper solution!"

Under normal circumstances, Emperor Jun would never have agreed to Ying Zheng's proposal.

The Great Dao of Oneself is so secret that even brothers would not ask this question.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi looked helpless: "Brother, let them see the current state of the demonic path. What Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng said makes sense!"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor Jun sighed helplessly, "Since that's the case, then please take a look!"

Then, at the summoning of the Demon Emperor Jun, the essence of the demonic path converged into a huge demon character that appeared before everyone.

Looking at the word "demon" before him, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel speechless. Compared to his own Hongmeng Dao, this demonic path was truly incomplete.

It is riddled with cracks and could disintegrate at any moment, not to mention that it is also mostly incomplete.

The fact that the Demon Emperor Jun was able to achieve enlightenment through this means truly shows the favor of the Great Dao and his extraordinary luck.

"This……"

Seeing the demonic origin, everyone present hesitated for a moment because the demonic foundation was so severely damaged and broken.

Is it truly possible to repair it or even allow it to devour humanity?
This demonic path seems to be on the verge of collapse at any moment; it's already extremely difficult for the Demon Emperor Jun to maintain his Daoist cultivation.

Not to mention devouring humanity, even fighting is extremely difficult for him, no wonder his combat strength is so weak.

For a moment, everyone present fell silent. Even Nuwa, who was helping Houtu revive, was speechless as she looked at the incomplete and broken demon.

Just then, the mark belonging to the Earthly Dao on Houtu True Spirit completely dispelled the power of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, which then drew Houtu True Spirit to awaken.

Then, Houtu's true spirit began to condense the power, rules, laws, and power of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, forming the Great Dao Primordial Spirit.

At this moment, the primordial spirit once again entered the physical body, causing Houtu to come back to life.

Houtu, now back to life, collapsed into Nuwa's arms, her face filled with sorrow, and wept silently: "It was all a scheme by Dao Ancestor Hongjun! We were all deceived by him!"

Upon hearing this and seeing Houtu's sorrowful appearance, no one present dared to force her to say anything.

After calming herself down, Houtu revealed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Mirror in her hand!

She sensed the current state of the Great Dao of Reincarnation being dependent on the Earthly Path, and her eyes were filled with frost: "I, Houtu, as the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, hereby declare that from this day forward, the Earthly Path and Reincarnation shall be separated!"

In an instant, the oath of the Great Dao fell and the Great Dao split apart, shocking countless Great Luo Heavenly Venerables, Primordial Dao Lords, and even many Underworld Gods. At this moment, they were all extremely shocked.

"What exactly is going on? The Six Paths of Reincarnation is one of the important components of the underground passage!"

"The Goddess Houtu is the one who controls the underground passages. Why would she separate reincarnation from the underground passages?!"

"Don't you know? It's said that the underground tunnels have gone out of control and are no longer under the control of the Earth Goddess!"

"So that's how it is. No wonder this happened. Reincarnation is being separated from the Earthly Path. It seems the power of the Earthly Path is about to weaken again, becoming the weakest of the three paths: Heaven, Earth, and Man."
