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

Upon hearing this, the other Daoists did not stop him. With a light wave of his sleeve, the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity revealed a red gourd with radiant spiritual light, and wisps of Daoist charm lingered within: "Inside is a Nine-Turn Dao Pill that I refined, which will greatly help your recovery from your injuries. Please accept it!"

Looking at the sincere expression on the face of the Supreme Celestial Venerable Taiqing, Amitabha Buddha accepted the Nine-Turn Dao Pill. He indeed needed it to recover from his injuries as soon as possible: "Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Taiqing!"

Then, Cundi Buddha Mother, supporting Amitabha Buddha, and the two figures walked sadly toward the Buddhist realm.

Watching their departing figures, a sense of desolation filled the air, causing many of the enlightened beings present to feel a touch of sadness.

Demon Master Kunpeng, Donghuang Taiyi, and the others exclaimed in unison, "What a pity!"

They all lamented the loss of Amitabha Buddha's precious twenty-six-petaled dreamlike golden lotus, a treasure that had led to his enlightenment.

Having already broken through the natural barrier of the Great Dao, as long as it is nurtured step by step, it can grow to the level of a thirty-sixth-grade Destruction Black Lotus.

At that time, he will be able to realize his dream and achieve perfection, becoming second only to Ying Zheng.

Unfortunately, due to the intervention of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, all of this has been completely disrupted.

Finally, after catching up with everyone, Ying Zheng, who was extremely exhausted, returned to the Daoist temple to recuperate.

The others also went their separate ways after exchanging greetings. Because of the demonic barrier formed by the self-destruction of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, they were only temporarily blocked and thus could not be of much help.

However, while many of the enlightened beings present were somewhat disappointed, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it's one thing for others to have the potential to surpass them, but it's quite another to actually watch them rise to prominence.

Now, Demon Ancestor Rahu, sensing the departure of everyone, absorbed the power of chaos under the protection of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Destruction Black Lotus, and transformed this clone into his original body.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu's gaze was still filled with apprehension as he looked at the River of Destiny: "If it weren't for the guidance, my whereabouts would probably have been exposed just now. The River of Destiny is truly daunting. However, the most important thing right now is to temper my original body back!"

In his eyes, the Demon Ancestor Rahu had made an invaluable deal by self-destructing his body, which had been cultivated for countless years, in exchange for this twenty-six-petaled Dream Golden Lotus.

Although the main body has been meticulously honed over countless years, it is an integral part of the user's combat strength.

In this situation, restoring the clone to its original strength will only take a little longer.

But if you miss the Twenty-Sixth Grade Dreamy Golden Lotus, you'll never have another chance!

Now, with the completion of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Destruction Black Lotus, Ancestor Yangmei, who was trying to gain more power over the River of Time and Space, also sensed this situation: "The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's plan is more than half completed. He even made him fix the flaws in the Destruction Black Lotus. We have to be wary of this guy!"

At the same time, Ancestor Yangmei was filled with emotion, even Demon Ancestor Rahu had made such progress.

However, his achievements in the power of time and space are still too few to compare with those of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

"Looks like I'll have to risk my life!"

After his reflections, Ancestor Yangmei continued to devote himself to the matter of wielding power over the River of Time and Space.

As for Dao Ancestor Hongjun in Zixiao Palace, he also had Di Ling'er as his eyes and ears, who collected information about the outside world for him when he was unable to pay attention to the outside world while refining the origin of humanity.

Sensing the restoration of the Great Dao of Destruction, Di Ling'er instantly knew that the Thirty-Sixth Grade Black Lotus of Destruction had reached its complete perfection.

The Thirty-Sixth Grade Destructive Black Lotus is something that must be guarded against, after Gu Di Ling'er understood the cause and effect!

He quickly approached Dao Ancestor Hongjun and respectfully reported, "Master, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou has seized the Twenty-Sixth Grade Dreamy Golden Lotus and has already repaired the flaws of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Destructive Black Lotus!"

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun smiled faintly, his hands continuing to refine the Human Dao Origin Authority without stopping: "That Luo Hou fellow is quite capable. It was within my expectations that he could make up for the flaws in this Thirty-Sixth Grade Destruction Black Lotus. Alright, Di Ling'er, next you should focus on Ying Zheng's whereabouts!"

After giving his instructions, Dao Ancestor Hongjun continued to refine the fundamental authority of humanity with all his might.

Di Ling'er respectfully replied, "Yes, sir!"

Then, Di Ling'er quickly descended, his divine sense closely merging with the Heaven and Earth Dao, circling outside the Hongmeng Great World, keeping watch over Ying Zheng's whereabouts.

In the blink of an eye, millions of years have passed.

Ying Zheng did not step out of his training ground, as he spent the time recovering his strength.

After all, his battle with the Demon Ancestor Rahu had nearly exhausted his strength.

Having barely recovered over the past few days, Ying Zheng opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with electricity, and looked at the Great Dao of Reincarnation in the void: "It's time to make contact with her again!"

After all, Ying Zheng learned about the origins of the Demon Ancestor Rahu through the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation.

I had already roughly guessed what Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou were thinking. In order to carry out their plan, Houtu must be a key figure.

Originally, when the Earth Spirit was born, it devoured the underground passage. Because of Ying Zheng's intervention, Houtu was rescued and allowed to attain enlightenment again through reincarnation.

Then Tu was no longer the representative of the earth, and reverted to the identity of the ancestral witch.

At this moment, Houtu was even more valuable to Ying Zheng, and the secrets contained within the Wu tribe aroused his great curiosity.

At the time, we only caught a fleeting glimpse of Pangu transforming into heaven and earth, without seeing any details.

However, based on the information obtained by Ying Zheng, it is speculated that there is something important that should be in Houtu's hands, or rather, it should be in the possession of the Wu tribe.

At this moment, Ying Zheng wanted to know whether that item was still in the hands of the Wu tribe.

At the same time, he tried his best to explore the secrets contained within that object, and Ying Zheng had a premonition that this matter would bring him great benefits.

However, Ying Zheng knew that his current identity was extremely special, and he should not rashly contact Houtu.

This will once again stir up the sensitive nerves of Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

If unforeseen complications arise, it will be even more troublesome for Ying Zheng.

This is why Ying Zheng was able to restrain himself for so many years and never contact Houtu again.

Now Ying Zheng is confident that he can completely evade the detection of Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun and secretly contact Houtu.

At this moment, a purple light appeared on Ying Zheng's body; this was the divine power he had recently developed and perfected.

Similar to the common path of transformation, it uses the power of the Primordial Dao to silently connect with the Dao of Reincarnation.

In the great world of the Witch Clan created by Houtu, Houtu's expression subtly shifted as she discussed matters with other Ancestral Witches in the Ancestral Witch Hall.

Ying Zheng's clear voice echoed in Houtu's ears: "Fellow Daoist Houtu, please be careful. Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun are currently monitoring you. I have important matters to discuss with you, and we must keep them in the dark!"

Upon hearing this, Houtu stood up and explained to her brothers and sisters, "I need to go cultivate. I will leave the affairs of the Wu Clan to you all from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Dijiang boldly accepted the responsibility: "Don't worry, Houtu! Leave these to your elder brother!" Houtu, of course, believed that he could handle the affairs of the Wu tribe.

She then entered the depths of the Ancestral Witch Temple, inside which was the core of the Ancestral Witch Temple, the Pangu Temple.

This Pangu Temple exudes an aura of ancient times and vicissitudes, yet no transcendent power lingers upon it.

It seemed extremely ancient, yet contained a subtle power that could shield it from all prying eyes.

As for Houtu's actions, neither the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's avatar nor the Demon Ancestor Luohou's avatar, who were responsible for monitoring Houtu, paid any attention to them.

After all, Houtu often does this. As for the Pangu Palace, it's not something they can access, so it's the only place that can be kept secret from them.

After entering the Pangu Palace, Houtu solemnly said, "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, you may come out now!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's figure transformed into purple mist, gradually taking shape in the void.

The moment he appeared, Ying Zheng surveyed the Pangu Palace. In his eyes, the Heavenly Eye of the Great Dao subtly opened, attempting to discern the core of the Pangu Palace.

After all, he had long heard of the Pangu Palace's great reputation, but had never been able to see it.

Pangu Palace is the sacred site of the Wu tribe, and with Houtu backing them up, no enlightened being dares to forcibly enter it without an invitation from the Ancestral Witch.

"This is the Pangu Palace. It is indeed better to see it in person than to have heard so much about it!" Ying Zheng said with admiration.

Upon hearing this, Houtu said meaningfully, "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, you must not have come here to praise this Pangu Palace!"

At this moment, Ying Zheng's expression also became extremely solemn: "The matter I have come here on this occasion concerns the lives of you, fellow Daoist, and all the members of the Wu Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Houtu looked at Ying Zheng with a surprised expression, and then asked with a solemn expression, "Fellow Daoist, are you saying that Dao Ancestor Hongjun has set his sights on me again?"

Ying Zheng nodded solemnly and said, "Not only that, even the Demon Ancestor Rahu has been eyeing you for a long time. Please take a look!"

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, Ying Zheng conjured a round mirror before his eyes, revealing what he had seen at the end of the Taiyi Era.

At this moment, the Pangu Palace can shield everything, especially since this matter is related to Pangu.

Therefore, no unusual phenomena were observed. Looking at the scene before her, Houtu's expression grew increasingly solemn: "So that's how it is. No wonder when the primordial world was shattered, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou investigated the Pangu Palace one after another. So that's what happened!"

Now, seeing that no unusual phenomena were manifesting, Ying Zheng's expression was extremely solemn. It seemed that the Pangu Palace was more mysterious than he had imagined.

It was not as the ancestral witches claimed, but merely a fragment of Pangu's bone.

Then, Ying Zheng looked at Houtu with a deep gaze and said, "Then you should understand why I have come here today!"

At this moment, Houtu hesitated, looking uneasy as if she couldn't make a decision for a long time.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng decided to add fuel to the fire: "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to deceive me. Since I've come here, I'm certain that the item is in the hands of your Wu Clan. However, it must have been hidden by your Ancestral Witches, and hidden extremely well, even deceiving Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou!"

At this moment, Houtu sighed softly, "Alas! As expected, the news of that thing cannot be kept secret forever. Today it is you, tomorrow it will be Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately became interested: "So, Fellow Daoist Houtu admits that Pangu's heart is in the hands of your Wu clan?"

Houtu said helplessly, "Even if I deny it, you won't believe me. That thing is of utmost importance to my Wu clan. The reason my Wu clan was able to produce so many great witches back then was thanks to Pangu's heart... Never mind, let's not talk about that. But fellow Daoist, although Pangu's heart is important, it should be unrelated to you, right?"

Faced with Houtu's probing question, Ying Zheng did not hide anything and said, "Pangu's heart is indispensable to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou. Without it, even if their plans are completed, their strength will be weakened. Therefore, I need to ensure that Pangu's heart will never fall into their hands. Moreover, I also want to explore the wonders of Pangu's heart."

Upon hearing this, Houtu said with a solemn expression, "That is indeed the case. Although they have some suspicions that Pangu's heart is under the control of our Wu clan, they have never been able to find it. But judging from what you said today, they will definitely not give up. If they go all out, it will be troublesome."

Looking at Houtu, who was deep in thought, Ying Zheng tentatively asked, "Then I wonder if I might have the honor of seeing Pangu's heart?"

Houtu smiled gently and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have already seen it."

Ying Zheng's face immediately showed surprise. Although he had seen many things in the Pangu Palace, he had never seen Pangu's heart.

That was the heart left behind by a being who had only reached the half-transcendent stage, containing the crystallized blood and qi of the great god Pangu.

Its profound mystery is in no way inferior to its brain, nor to the Creation Jade Disc formed by condensing the laws of three thousand chaotic demon gods.

He would not be oblivious to such a thing if he saw it, but Houtu would not deceive him.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly looked down at the Pangu Palace and exclaimed, "Could this Pangu Palace be the heart of Pangu?"

In response, Houtu gently stroked the wall of the Pangu Palace and said with emotion, "Indeed, the Pangu Palace was formed from the heart of the Father God. Ordinary people can never see its true appearance. Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Demon Ancestor Luohou can only see its surface and do not know its interior."

In a daze, Houtu's eyes flashed with reminiscence—the beginning of the Primordial Era.

Pangu, the great god, created the world and ushered in a new era, but ninety-nine percent of his own essence and blood dissipated.

Only twelve drops of essence blood remained, which were nurtured within the Pangu Palace, which was formed from Pangu's heart, and eventually transformed into the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Subsequently, in order to counter the increasing number of demons, the Twelve Ancestral Witches used their own essence and blood, nurtured by the Pangu Palace, to create the Great Witches, thus enabling them to stand on equal footing with the demons.

Therefore, the Pangu Temple is a treasure that maintains the core strength of the Wu tribe, and at the same time, it suppresses the fortune of the Wu tribe.

At this moment, looking at Houtu lost in memories, Ying Zheng bent down and gently stroked the Pangu Palace at his feet.

In a daze, he entered into it, wanting to explore and trace the true core of the Pangu Palace.

He had a premonition that an opportunity awaited him within the heart of Pangu.

Therefore, he now wants to see the true face of the Pangu Temple.

Houtu did not stop Ying Zheng from doing this.

Ying Zheng had shown her great kindness, and although his actions at this moment were slightly excessive.

However, under pressure from Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou, she would not turn against Ying Zheng.

Otherwise, that would truly put oneself in danger.

With just the Pangu Palace and the current power of the Wu Clan, Houtu is no match for Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou.

If those two were to actually seize the Pangu Palace, who knows what blasphemous things they might do to the Father God.

Moreover, whether Ying Zheng could truly gain anything, Houtu did not actually know. (End of Chapter)
