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

Yangmei Ancestor said to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded:

"Of course, it's not just for that. I called you here today because I wanted you to have a drink with me. We didn't have enough to drink last time, so let's continue today."

Upon hearing that they were going to drink, Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei immediately became interested:

"No problem! Let's have a good drink today, and not leave until we're drunk."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun immediately ordered his attendant to prepare fine wine, and began a drinking contest with Demon Ancestor Rahu and Yangmei Ancestor.

……

Donghuang Taiyi's residence was quite far from the Wu tribe, but with Ying Zheng and Donghuang Taiyi's cultivation levels, they quickly arrived near the Wu tribe.

The two concealed themselves and lurked around the witch clan.

"Are we just the two of us going in now? If something unexpected happens, the two of us probably won't be able to handle it. After all, this is the territory of the Witch Clan."

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Ying Zheng with a worried expression and said.

If the battle takes place near the primordial world, you can still run away if you can't win.

But this is the heartland of the Wu tribe; once you go in, it will be difficult to get out.

Ying Zheng turned to look in the direction of the Wu tribe. On the surface, everything seemed calm, but in reality, danger lurked everywhere.

"But if Houtu is not acting strangely, what will they think if we bring so many people with us? Will they lose trust in us?"

Ying Zheng confided his concerns to Donghuang Taiyi.

Now Ying Zheng and Donghuang Taiyi were in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

If they were to rashly intrude, they would inevitably alert the enemy, making Houtu and the others wary, and it would be much more difficult for them to enter the Wu tribe again in the future.

However, without going inside, they cannot ascertain the true situation of Pangu. If it is indeed as Ying Zheng suspects, then this trip is imperative.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi said to Ying Zheng:
"Why don't we call them all over first and have them hide near the witch clan? If something unexpected happens, they can just rush in."

Ying Zheng thought this method was feasible, and immediately notified Di Jun, Nuwa and others to come to the Wu tribe.

An hour later, Di Jun, Nuwa, and the others arrived one after another.

Upon seeing Ying Zheng, Di Jun immediately asked:

"Why did you summon us to the Witch Clan in such a hurry? Is something wrong?"

Ying Zheng told Di Jun and others about his and Donghuang Taiyi's speculations.

After hearing Ying Zheng's account, Di Jun and the others also felt that Hou Tu's actions at the time were indeed somewhat suspicious.

"So what should we do now? Should we go together, or send a representative in?"

Nuwa said to Ying Zheng.

Only then did Nuwa realize that Ying Zheng had simply wanted to inquire about Houtu's situation and had no other intentions.

Realizing she had misunderstood Ying Zheng, Nuwa quietly stepped back after saying those words.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze towards the direction of the Wu tribe and said to the crowd:
"Alright, I'll go in alone to investigate. If anything happens, I'll let you know."

Everyone agreed with Ying Zheng's words. But Nuwa, who had just stepped back, stepped forward again.

“It’s too dangerous for you to go alone. If something unexpected happens, you might not even have time to notify us.”

Nuwa looked at Ying Zheng with a worried expression and said.

Seeing Nuwa's expression, Ying Zheng cast a determined look at her:
"Even now, you still don't trust my abilities? Besides, even if something happens, I have a way to get out of there safely."

Di Jun and the others also comforted Nuwa, telling her that with Ying Zheng's strength, escaping would not be difficult, and there was no need to worry so much.

Nuwa originally wanted to accompany Ying Zheng, but after being persuaded by everyone, she didn't know how to bring it up and could only nod to Ying Zheng.

Upon receiving Nuwa's approval, Ying Zheng immediately set off for the Wu tribe.

At this time, a heavy atmosphere of sorrow permeated the Wu tribe, for Pangu, who was connected to them by blood, had perished in the primordial world.

The twelve Ancestral Witches were all deeply saddened, and as they looked at the body of Pangu placed in the center of the hall, they all shed tears of grief.

"Father God, why did you make such a choice? In the end, you suffered such an irredeemable fate. Father God, what were you after?"

Xuanming Ancestral Witch looked at the body of Pangu in front of her and said to Pangu with heartbreaking grief.

The other ten Ancestral Witches remained silent, each immersed in their own grief. At this moment, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, forced herself to stand and addressed Xuanming, the Ancestral Witch:

“We cannot presume to judge the choice that the Father makes. Your words and actions at this moment are utterly disrespectful.”

Hearing Houtu's words, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch looked completely innocent, stood up, and looked at Houtu, saying:

"I had no such intention. It's just that Father God had just been reborn and reconstructed, yet he has now perished again. What was the point of all this?"

These words from the Ancestral Witch Xuanming left the Ancestral Witch Houtu momentarily speechless.

After gathering her thoughts, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, said to Xuanming, the Ancestral Witch:

“I know you didn’t mean anything by it. But now that the Father has fallen, there’s nothing we can do. The most important thing now is to give the Father a proper burial.”

Upon hearing Houtu's words, the other ten ancestral witches also stood up. One of them said to Houtu:

"Let's bury Father God in a few days. After all, Father God was only recently reborn, let him enjoy the scenery outside a little longer."

The other ancestral witches also found this statement reasonable and expressed their agreement.

Seeing that all the other ancestral witches agreed to the proposal, Houtu made a decision and announced it to everyone:

"Then let us do as you say, let Father God stay away for a few more days, and then properly bury him after some time."

After saying this, Houtu turned and left the hall.

Seeing this, the other ancestral witches didn't say anything more, and turned their heads to look at the body of Pangu in front of them, feeling sad and distressed.

As they cultivated for a long time, they became increasingly indifferent to blood ties. Only the Father God Pangu made these twelve ancestral witches feel incredibly close to him.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and the other ancestral witches no longer paid attention to Houtu.

Just as Houtu was about to step out of the hall, she secretly transmitted her voice to the Xuanming Ancestral Witch.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Xuanming Ancestral Witch, who had just taken her seat, received a telepathic message from Houtu Ancestral Witch and immediately stood up, following Houtu Ancestral Witch out of the hall.

After Xuanming Ancestral Witch stepped out of the hall, he saw Houtu Ancestral Witch waiting for him outside the door.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, what business do you have with me?"

When Houtu Ancestral Witch saw Xuanming Ancestral Witch come out, she turned around and stared at him, saying.

“If I ever hear you speak ill of Father Pangu in front of me again, I will not be so polite to you.”

Upon hearing Houtu's words, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming nodded in a daze.

However, what puzzled Xuanming Ancestral Witch was why Houtu Ancestral Witch hadn't spoken directly in the hall earlier, but instead had only told him now.

“I wasn’t speaking ill of Father Pangu just now. Do you think I have no feelings for Father Pangu? I didn’t mean what you’re saying at all.”

Xuanming Ancestral Witch spoke to Houtu.

Xuanming Ancestral Witch was quite annoyed at the moment. He did not mean what Houtu Ancestral Witch was referring to, but Houtu Ancestral Witch's tone made him feel very resentful.

Houtu was quite surprised to see that Xuanming Ancestral Witch was still refuting her. Xuanming Ancestral Witch had never refuted her like this before, which surprised Houtu.

"Are you challenging me? I'm just saying that you should stop gossiping about the Father. Even if he is bad, it's not our place to judge."

Houtu spoke to the Xuanming Ancestral Witch.

Seeing that Houtu's tone had softened, Xuanming Ancestral Witch nodded to Houtu.

"I understand, I won't do it again."

After saying this to Houtu, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming turned around and returned to the hall.

Houtu watched as the Xuanming Ancestral Witch entered the hall, then left without saying anything more.

Ying Zheng, who was lurking in the shadows, saw everything that was happening. The twelve Ancestral Witches were all inferior to Ying Zheng in strength, so he was not discovered.

"It seems that Houtu hasn't changed much, but why do I always feel that something is wrong with her?"

Ying Zheng pondered to himself.

Ying Zheng decided to continue tracking Hou Tu to see if he could discover any more clues.

Ying Zheng then stopped paying attention to the situation in the hall and left with Hou Tu.

After leaving the hall, Houtu turned around and went to the place where Pangu's heart was located.

When Pangu's body was reshaped, this original heart was not used. Instead, a new one was formed, and thus Pangu's heart was preserved.

Ying Zheng was very puzzled at this moment. What was Hou Tu doing in this Pangu Palace?
After Houtu entered the Pangu Palace, she did not linger and went straight to the heart of Pangu.

Ying Zheng followed immediately.

After Houtu entered Pangu's heart, she sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the blood and energy remaining in Pangu's heart.

Ying Zheng was very confused at this moment. He remembered that Houtu had said before that no one except him could enter the heart of Pangu.

But at this moment, Houtu directly entered Pangu's heart.

"It seems that Houtu does have some problems; otherwise, with her abilities, she would never have been able to enter Pangu's heart."

Ying Zheng muttered to himself.

But then he thought, could it be because after Pangu's body was reshaped, the restriction on Pangu's heart was lifted, allowing the twelve ancestral witches to enter?

Ying Zheng decided to observe first and see what was going on.

After absorbing enough blood energy, Houtu slowly released her primordial spirit.

The moment Houtu released her primordial spirit, the surrounding blood energy continuously merged into this primordial spirit.

When Ying Zheng witnessed this scene, he suddenly realized that this blood essence had such a use!
Then Ying Zheng, who was hiding in the shadows, also released his primordial spirit, trying to integrate the blood energy into his own primordial spirit.

After trying several times, Ying Zheng discovered that the blood energy could not be integrated into his primordial spirit at all. The blood energy passed straight through his primordial spirit without leaving a trace.

"What exactly is going on? Why can Houtu do it, but I can't? Could it be that her primordial spirit is the primordial spirit that Pangu possessed?"

Ying Zheng then thought that perhaps it was because Houtu was originally formed from the essence and blood of Pangu that she was able to absorb the blood energy here.

Ying Zheng then dismissed the idea that Houtu's primordial spirit was transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit.

As the surrounding blood energy continued to merge into Houtu's primordial spirit, Houtu's primordial spirit became increasingly solid, constantly emitting a faint light.

"After all, we have a good ancestor! We can receive the gifts he left behind and continuously improve our strength."

Seeing Houtu's strength gradually increase, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, the light around Houtu's primordial spirit gradually dissipated, and the surrounding blood energy no longer surged into her primordial spirit.

Upon seeing this, Houtu withdrew her primordial spirit, stood up, and left Pangu's heart.

Ying Zheng followed.

After leaving Pangu's heart, Houtu returned to her Dao Palace, sat down cross-legged, and entered a state of cultivation.

Seeing that he had gained nothing from this trip, Ying Zheng quietly left the Wu tribe and came to Nuwa and the others.

Nuwa and the others sensed the spatial fluctuations and immediately became alert, but when they saw that it was Ying Zheng who had returned, they lowered their guard.

Donghuang Taiyi walked towards Ying Zheng and asked.

"Did you notice anything unusual about Houtu after you went in?"

Ying Zheng shook his head at Donghuang Taiyi.

“When I went in, I felt that she was perfectly normal. The only thing that surprised me was that she entered Pangu’s heart.”

Donghuang Taiyi and the others had never entered the Pangu Palace, nor did they know what restrictions were placed on Pangu's heart.

"Is there anything wrong with Houtu entering Pangu's heart? She was originally formed from Pangu's essence and blood, so isn't it normal for her to go in?"

Nuwa heard Ying Zheng's words and asked a question.

When Ying Zheng heard Nuwa's question, he suddenly realized that Nuwa and the others did not know that Houtu could not enter Pangu's heart before.

"Houtu told me before that she and the other eleven ancestral witches could not enter Pangu's heart, only I was able to enter it."

Ying Zheng then spoke again.

"But today she entered Pangu's heart, and after she entered Pangu's heart there was nothing unusual, so I came out."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they did not encounter the situation that Ying Zheng and Donghuang Taiyi had worried about. If something had really happened, a great battle would have been inevitable.

"It's good that nothing's unusual, but I think we should leave someone here to continue observing the situation of the Witch Clan. Maybe they're doing this on purpose for us!"

"Donghuang Taiyi said."

Donghuang Taiyi's words inevitably prompted everyone to think deeply.

Why wouldn't Houtu be putting on a show for us? Was it just to lull us into a false sense of security?

“You’re right. I’ll continue to infiltrate the Witch Clan. I’ll let you know if anything happens.”

"You should all return to your respective Dao residences first. There's no need for you all to stay here and waste everyone's time. After all, I am stronger than you."

Ying Zheng addressed the crowd.

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, everyone nodded to him, then left the Wu Clan and returned to their respective Daoist abodes.

After everyone left, Ying Zheng sneaked back into the Wu tribe to continue observing the situation within.

……

“Hongjun, I’m not trying to be mean, but you come here and bring out this kind of wine to drink with us? It’s nowhere near as good as the wine that Luo Hou brought out.”

Ancestor Yangmei raised his wine cup and addressed Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun smiled amiably at Yang Mei Ancestor and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

"There's nothing I can do. I don't usually collect wine. This is something I acquired by chance over millions of years. Unlike the wine that Luo Hou brought out, which is indeed delicious."

After saying that, Dao Ancestor Hongjun downed another cup of wine.

Ancestor Yangmei turned to look at Demon Ancestor Rahu and said. (End of Chapter)
