Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 915 The Six Paths of Reincarnation

"This thing??"

Houtu's eyes suddenly lit up! She gazed at the Taixu Mirror in Ling Xiao's hand, a warm feeling welling up inside her. He had actually found this treasure that was so vital to the Wu Clan.

Once the Six Paths of Reincarnation merges with the Tai Xu Mirror before us, it can transform into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, which is one of the Chaos Treasures!

If the Witch Clan could possess a Chaos Treasure, their strength would be greatly enhanced.

"Are you really going to give it to me?" Houtu's voice was softer than usual, with a hint of barely perceptible expectation, her eyes brimming as she looked at Lingxiao.

"Of course." Ling Xiao's expression was slightly strange, but a complex emotion flashed deep in his eyes—guilt and pity. He avoided Hou Tu's overly bright gaze.

Before this, he had long intended to give this item to Houtu.

However, at that time he was no match for that old devil Hongjun.

If we had given away this innate treasure back then, once the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc was reunited, it would probably have ultimately benefited that old ghost Hongjun.

This concern prevented him from taking action for a long time. Whenever he thought of the pressure that Houtu had to bear to stabilize the cycle of reincarnation and support the Wu tribe, he felt indebted.

But things are different now. Hongjun was defeated and lost two Chaos Treasures, and his cultivation level is no longer the highest in the primordial world!
This is the perfect time.

Moreover, the twelve Ancestral Witches have all now entered the Dao Integration Realm and are capable of forcibly refining such chaotic spiritual treasures.

"Thank you so much!" Houtu said sincerely, her eyes filled with even deeper gratitude, and even a touch of tenderness she herself was unaware of. He always appeared at the most crucial moment, bringing hope.

"It's alright. Do you need my help?" Ling Xiao asked, his tone tinged with concern. He noticed the weariness that Hou Tu couldn't hide between her brows, the price she had paid for supporting the underground passage and balancing reincarnation for so long.

“In that case, that’s great!” Zhu Rong readily agreed.

“Alright.” Ling Xiao nodded gently, then followed the Twelve Ancestral Witches into the depths of the Underworld. He deliberately lagged behind by half a step, his gaze falling on Houtu’s straight but slightly frail back, and a sense of guilt quietly welled up in his heart again. If he hadn’t had so many concerns, she might not have had to bear such a heavy burden for so long.

In a short while, Ling Xiao followed the Twelve Ancestral Witches into the deepest part of the Underworld.

"This is the current cycle of reincarnation." Ling Xiao hovered in the air, lost in thought, but his gaze unconsciously swept over Hou Tu, trying to check on her condition.

In the deepest part of the netherworld, six beams of light could be seen constantly rotating and intertwining, emanating distinct Daoist auras! This was the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

Reincarnation is divided into six realms: the Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, the Asura Realm, the Animal Realm, the Hungry Ghost Realm, and the Hell Realm. These six realms revolve endlessly, casting countless souls into the primordial world every single moment. Ling Xiao observed with interest for a moment, then raised his hand and grasped, and the Tai Xu Mirror appeared in his palm.

This treasure had long been his possession, but now Ling Xiao easily erased his own mark from it. He ran his fingers over the smooth mirror surface, as if bidding farewell to an old object, and then unhesitatingly tossed the mirror to Houtu.

"Thank you." Houtu nodded slightly and steadily caught the Taixu Mirror. Her fingertips touched the cold mirror surface, yet she seemed to feel a trace of Lingxiao's lingering aura, causing her heart to tremble slightly and a faint blush to rise on her face. She quickly composed herself and focused her attention on the precious mirror.

hum!
The mirror flashed, and the screen instantly went completely black!
"Go!" Houtu Qing shouted, raising her hand and pointing. The Taixu Mirror instantly expanded, becoming as vast as a world in itself!
At the same time, the six realms of reincarnation above seemed to be attracted and began to slowly sink downwards.

hum!
With a flash of light, the first to merge into the Tai Xu Mirror was naturally the Deva Path, the head of the Six Paths! Then came the Human Path! Next came the Asura Path, the Animal Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Hell Path, merging into the Tai Xu Mirror in turn!

The entire underworld trembled violently, with countless streams of pure Yin energy surging forth, nourishing the myriad spirits and monsters within! However, as the fusion deepened, the backlash from the immense power of reincarnation contained within the Six Paths of Reincarnation intensified. Houtu, as the initiator, bore the brunt of the attack, her face turning slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat appearing on her smooth forehead.

Ling Xiao had been watching closely. Seeing her struggling to suppress her discomfort, he frowned slightly and subconsciously took half a step forward, almost to help, but ultimately restrained himself. This was her opportunity and test; excessive interference would be counterproductive. However, the guilt he felt for being "late" intensified when he saw her hardship.

In a short while, a supreme treasure of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure level appeared before everyone!
It was an ancient, round disc, radiating an indescribable, vast Daoist aura. A single glance at it seemed to reveal the cycle of reincarnation for all living beings and even the universe!
The Six Paths of Reincarnation!
"It's done!" Houtu's eyes flashed with barely suppressed joy. She let out a long sigh of relief, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. She raised her hand and gently picked up the floating Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. Her fingertips gathered magical power, and she began to apply her own mark.

Just then, she felt a gentle yet resilient divine thought quietly approaching. It wasn't meant to interfere, but rather, like the strongest support, steadily bolstering her soul, which was somewhat weak from the immense exertion. A warmth filled her heart; without turning around, she knew it was Ling Xiao silently protecting her. This silent support made the thread of affection in her heart tighten even more.

At the same time, the other Ancestral Witches present also made their moves, each infusing their own aura!
In a short while, the Six Paths of Reincarnation were completely bound to the clan's destiny and the earth's aura!
"Very good." Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that Houtu had successfully taken control of the Reincarnation Disc and her complexion had returned to its rosy hue, he finally felt relieved. "If I'm not mistaken, you will soon be able to attempt to break through to the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm." He said this to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but his gaze was fixed on Houtu, carrying a hint of encouragement and relief.

Once all twelve Ancestral Witches reach the fourth level, their combat power will increase dramatically! After all, the difference between the third and fourth levels is already terrifying, let alone the difference between twelve Ancestral Witches.
"Then I shall take my leave." Ling Xiao composed himself and prepared to depart.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lingxiao!" Houtu and the other Ancestral Witches said in unison. Her voice was exceptionally clear, filled with sincere gratitude. Her gaze followed Lingxiao's figure, and she hesitated before finally saying, "...This kindness will be etched in Houtu's heart." The affection in her eyes, though unspoken, spoke volumes.

Ling Xiao paused slightly, meeting Hou Tu's clear yet deeply affectionate eyes, and the guilt in his heart surged again. He forced a gentle smile and nodded: "Between us, there's no need for thanks. Take care." With that, he turned and left, his departing figure carrying a subtle, complex emotion.

Houtu gazed in the direction he had disappeared, clutching the warm Six Paths Reincarnation Disc in her hand. The warmth of his divine sense still seemed to linger on her fingertips, and she did not look away for a long time.

The surrounding ancestral witches were so engrossed in the joy of obtaining the treasure that they failed to notice the subtle change in her emotions.

The appearance of the Six Paths of Reincarnation greatly enhanced the foundation of the Wu Clan.

Even if they leave the primordial chaos, with this treasure they can directly mobilize the power of the earth to enhance themselves, and their strength will naturally increase greatly!
The core of this power will be firmly tied to Houtu's hand, which also seems to create an invisible but close connection between her and Lingxiao.
