Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

Chapter 240 Tai Chu Takes Control of the Underground Passage? Yang Mei's Regret!
Houtu was the only one of the twelve Ancestral Witches who possessed a primordial spirit at the beginning of her transformation. She was also the first to successfully cultivate the Pangu Dao-proving technique, "Hongmeng Nine Revolutions".

After millions of years of effort, and with the help of her aunt Qinglian and Taichu, she successfully brought her primordial spirit cultivation up to her physical body cultivation (Hun Yuan Realm) before this great battle.

Now, Houtu, under the will of the Father God and the decree of the Azure Lotus, enters the Underworld with the 'Great Dao of Reincarnation' that she controls, and with the help of the 'Nine-Rank Purple Lotus of Reincarnation', she truly perfects and controls the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

“Swish!——”

After hearing her divine message, Tai Chu and Qing Lian directly used their Great Dao Divine Power to travel through space and time dimensions, and took Tian Yan with them into the Underworld.

Upon entering the underworld, one is immediately enveloped by a rich aura of innate spiritual energy and the power of 'yin virtue'.

The entire world was shrouded in a gray haze, vast and boundless, with no human figure in sight and no sign of life.

If it weren't for the clear laws of the Great Dao and the power of 'yin virtue', one would think they had entered a special world.

"Um?--"

suddenly--

A supreme and unparalleled will and divine consciousness descended.

"aunt--"

"I am in the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Underworld!"

When Houtu's voice rang out again, a black and gold teleportation portal appeared before them. As the three of them stepped through, they instantly entered a special world.

Six divine wheels of the Great Dao appeared in the gray sky, radiating incomparably powerful rules of the Great Dao of Reincarnation. Countless souls and remnants of the dead entered the second divine wheel of the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

This will be based on the rules for reincarnation in the six realms of the underworld in the future.

The six realms of reincarnation are divided into three good realms and three evil realms.

The three good realms are: the realm of gods, the realm of humans, and the realm of asuras.

The three evil realms are: the hell realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the animal realm.

After all the spirits of the primordial world perished, their souls were brought to the underworld by Ox-Head and Horse-Face. Then, the Ten Kings of Hell judged each soul according to their good and evil deeds throughout their lives, and they were sent to different paths of good or evil.

Good deeds bring blessings, while evil deeds bring punishment.

The Heavenly Gods say: Reincarnation in this path allows one to cultivate into a god, ensuring a long lifespan and providing the opportunity to continue cultivating and attain the true Great Dao.

The Human Realm: The human realm belongs to the primordial continent and the starry sky. Reincarnated as one of the myriad beings of the primordial world, they have a limited lifespan, but also have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation and attain immortality!

Asura Path: Belongs to the category of Earth Path. After reincarnation, the form, lifespan, and enjoyment of beings are limited, varying according to their category. They also have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation and live a carefree and immortal life.

Animal Realm: This realm is very broad, divided into viviparous and oviparous. All birds and beasts, whether they live on land, in water, or in the air, from large animals like cattle, horses, pigs, and sheep to small insects, ants, and moths, are included in this realm.

Beings reincarnated in this realm have limited lifespans and find it extremely difficult to embark on the path of cultivation. They are destined to be livestock, serving as food for all living beings.

Hungry Ghost Realm: Exists in the underworld. Those who are reincarnated there do not know the name of water or gruel. They see water as pus and blood and have difficulty getting food and drink to satisfy their hunger. They suffer from hunger and fear.

The Hell Realm: It exists in the underworld, and the reincarnated must endure the torments of purgatory. It is divided into four parts: the eight hot hells, the eight cold hells, the near-border hells, and the solitary hells.

These beings kill each other, but they do not die. They can only endure the pain of being killed year after year, sometimes with smoke coming out of their seven orifices, sometimes being dismembered, or sometimes being boiled in molten copper until their skin and flesh are torn apart.

These are all tragic situations that manifest when past evil karma ripens. They are unbearable to suffer. Only when the evil karma is cleansed can one have the opportunity to leave this realm. It is the most painful of the six realms.

Since Houtu has only recently taken control of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the 'Human Race' and 'Asura Race' have not yet been born, she can only guide all the remaining souls of the dead into the 'Human Path' for reincarnation.

It is worth mentioning that——

Humanity's will has not yet been fully awakened. Most of these lost souls and remnants are reincarnated into the 'human realm' as either the witch or demon race, or other races with innate intelligence.

"Aunt, Fellow Daoist Taichu, Fellow Daoist Tianyan—"

"Now that the tunnel has been discovered, I urgently need your help and support!"

Houtu was also forced into this role. She lacked a mature structure and management experience in the underground passage, which is why she threw all the surviving souls and remnants into the 'human realm' for reincarnation.

"The most urgent task is to get the Underworld running as soon as possible. Fellow Daoist Houtu, you can first gather the members of the Witch Clan to improve the Underworld's structure, and then, according to your own duties and missions, let the souls of the dead be reincarnated smoothly."

Based on the future structure of the underworld and the responsibilities of the six realms of reincarnation, Tai Chu offered Hou Tu some extremely useful suggestions.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Taichu!——"

When Houtu heard Taichu's suggestion, her gentle and bright eyes were filled with surprise, along with a hint of gratitude and admiration.

She hadn't expected that Tai Chu didn't have a mission in the underworld, but she also hadn't expected him to know so much about the underworld, as if he were born with that knowledge, which gave her a complete and perfect solution.

"Fellow Daoist—"

"Why don't you come and assist me? In the future, when I take control of the Underworld, I will grant you the status of a Saint of the Underworld and share the supreme authority of the Underworld with you!"

Houtu stared intently at Taichu, her expression full of anticipation.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist! —"

"However, my ambitions lie elsewhere. You can seek out Fellow Daoist Styx and Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi. Their Dao is compatible with the Earthly Dao. If you can obtain the assistance of these two fellow Daoists, the Earthly Dao will operate more quickly in the future!"

Tai Chu rejected Hou Tu's offer without even thinking about it.

While the highest authority is desirable, what he truly seeks is the supreme 'Great Dao'!
"All right!--"

"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist!"

Houtu looked somewhat regretful, and then immediately sent a telepathic message to the Houtu tribe, instructing top shamans such as Houyi and Kuafu to lead hundreds of millions of shaman clan members to support the operation of the underworld.

Qinglian used her supernatural powers to awaken Dijiang and the others who were in seclusion, and asked them, as her elder brothers, to assist Houtu.

The underground passage is the greatest trump card of the Wu Clan and the key to fighting against the Heavenly Dao in the future. Only by getting it running as soon as possible can the prehistoric world be further improved and the elder brother's plan for the prehistoric world be realized.

"aunt--"

"If my Wu clan were to rule the Underworld in the future, what would become of the Primordial World?"

Houtu looked at Qinglian.

Now that she has emerged from the underground world, she finally understands why her aunt had suppressed her witch clan to prevent them from competing with the demon clan. But if she were to just give up the prehistoric world (the human realm), wouldn't that be a great pity?

"Just maintain the status quo!"

Qinglian also understood the importance of the prehistoric world to the Wu tribe. Not to mention the ancestral land of the Wu tribe and the Pangu Palace, even Buzhou Mountain was the place of faith for the Wu tribe, so how could they give it up?

Not long after——

The ancestral witches, such as Dijiang, Zhurong, and Gonggong, personally led hundreds of millions of elite witches into the underworld. Based on the Great Dao they controlled, they each served as one of the Ten Kings of Hell.

The Ice Ancestral Witch Xuanming temporarily transformed into Meng Po, and then used her supernatural powers to create countless clones to brew Meng Po soup for the souls and remnants of the dead who entered the underworld.

Hou Yi, Xing Tian, ​​Kua Fu, and other top-tier sorcerers were stationed in the eighteen levels of hell, first perfecting the structure and organization of hell, and then severely torturing the souls of the dead who carried 'karma'.

Tai Chu, Tian Yan, and Qing Lian returned to Tian Yuan Mountain after Di Jiang and the others entered the Underworld. Just as they were preparing to go into seclusion to digest the gains from this great battle and the early emergence of the Underworld, the Primordial World shook violently once again.

“Boom!——”

"Boom!—" Outside the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Primordial World, a rain of blood fell from the sky, and streaks of purple divine lightning flashed across the heavens and earth. Accompanied by the mournful cries of the Great Dao, the strange phenomenon of "a saint falling and heaven and earth grieving" was once again staged.

“Huh?——”

"Who killed Hongjun?"

Tai Chu and Qing Lian looked out of the Thirty-Three Heavens. The two tacitly controlled the Great Dao Divine Power to penetrate the 'barrier' of the primordial world, and based on their causal relationship with Hong Jun, they reflected the scene of the Chaos War.

When Tai Chu saw the boundless green leaves and willow branches that enveloped the chaotic world, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"So it's the Great Immortal Yangmei!"

Tianyan approached his elder brother and took the initiative to shake his hand.

She always remembered the time when the Great Immortal Yangmei descended upon Tianyuan Mountain. His terrifying pressure almost killed her brother, and he even developed inner demons during his breakthrough.

"fine!--"

"Now that my path to enlightenment is nearing perfection, there are no flaws whatsoever!"

Feeling Tianyan's concern, Taichu squeezed her soft, pink hand tightly.

Regarding Yang Mei—

He harbored no hatred, after all, the other party had not deliberately targeted him after he took human form, and even gave Tianyan a section of the Tongtian Jianmu tree when they left.

Now that he has seen Yang Mei ambush Hongjun in the Chaos and successfully kill him, Tai Chu is naturally happy to sit back and watch the show.

"Yang Mei, die for me!"

On the battlefield illuminated by divine powers, Hongjun mobilized the Great Dao and the origin of the Heavenly Dao to reshape his Dao body, and his aura began to turn cold, murderous, violent, and destructive.

He knew that Yang Mei was the Space Demon God, and the only one who possessed a portion of the Chaos Demon God's true form. Now that he had been killed by him once, Hongjun had no choice but to use all his strength.

"Woo!——"

As a last resort.

Hongjun began to activate the cracked 'Heavenly Punishment Seal' in his sea of ​​consciousness, determined to make Yang Mei pay the price even if it meant damaging the very origin of the Heavenly Dao!
Strands of the supreme Heavenly Dao origin merged with countless immortal Dao rules, and Hongjun transformed into the Chaos Ruler, obliterating all spacetime and time, and erasing all the laws of the Great Dao.

“Swish!——”

The green leaves and willow branches that once enveloped the chaotic world were shattered into countless pieces, turning into wisps of smoke and vanishing.

Upon seeing the 'Heavenly Punishment Seal' containing the supreme will of the Heavenly Dao, Yang Mei immediately activated his spatial Dao divine power to traverse the chaos and escape to an endless, distant chaotic dimension.

"Damn Yang Mei!"

"Damn Qinglian!"

"And that damned Primordial Beginning!"

When Hongjun saw Yang Mei flee, he was unable to maintain his composure and roared angrily.

“Swish!——”

next moment.

He keenly sensed a trace of causal power, which was clearly Qinglian and Taichu reflecting the battlefield with their supernatural powers. So he waved his hand and obliterated these laws of the Great Dao and causal power, and then returned to Zixiao Palace.

at the same time--

When Yang Mei returned to his secluded Chaos Dojo, he disregarded his injuries and laughed heartily.

Although this battle failed to completely kill Hongjun, it at least made him pay a bloody price!
“Swish!——”

After calming her agitated emotions, Yang Mei looked towards the Primordial Heavenly Origin Mountain.

"I never imagined that the Primordial Beginning, which was as insignificant as a speck of dust, would grow to such an extent, not only reversing the course of the primordial world but also causing Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao to pay such a heavy price!"

"If I had known this would happen, I would have taken him under my wing no matter what!"

…………

The central hall.

When Tai Chu, Qing Lian, and Tian Yan saw that the battlefield scene reflected by the divine power had shattered, leaving only Hong Jun's furious and embarrassed expression, the three of them couldn't help but laugh.

"Originally, it was thought that Hongjun would successfully achieve his goal after escaping from the chaos, but who would have thought that he would be sniped by Yang Mei, and even sniped again!"

"Given the severe injuries he has suffered, even if he successfully becomes the Lord of Heaven in the future, he will not have the absolute power to suppress Earthly Dao. This will make it easier for us to devise a plan to counter him!"

When Tai Chu saw the eight hideous cracks on the 'Heavenly Punishment Seal', he breathed a sigh of relief.

"good!--"

Qinglian nodded, her expression becoming increasingly relaxed.

"According to my speculation, even if Hongjun replaces the Heavenly Dao and becomes the Lord of the Heavenly Dao, he will need at least one era (a great calamity) to fully recover."

"By this time, the underground passage has already grown smoothly. We might even attain the Great Luo of Hunyuan. At that time, no matter how Hongjun schemes, he may not be able to achieve his goal!"

At this moment——

After hearing her brother and Qinglian's words, Tianyan's bright and pure eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a pure and obedient appearance. She then swayed her two straight and jade-like legs with a relaxed and comfortable air.

To express her joy, she took the initiative to suggest a celebration.

Qinglian immediately chimed in, offering to cook the meal herself.

Tai Chu took out a top-grade spiritual wine that had been stored for millions of years from his wine cellar hall, and instructed the boy Dao Yuan to offer various top-grade spiritual fruits, which prompted Bai Xuan, who was in seclusion, to break out of her seclusion.

It's worth saying.

The two children previously taken in by the Phoenix Clan, Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, were taught by Dao Yuan personally, while the more unruly and rebellious Jin Peng was handed over to Bai Xuan for discipline.

When the two brothers saw that the high and mighty Senior Qinglian was actually cooking for the master, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

"Master truly lives up to his reputation—"

"If other people saw Senior Qinglian, the younger sister of the Great God Pangu, personally cooking for him, I'm afraid everyone would be terrified, right?"

As a master of Taiyi.

They could clearly perceive the truth of the last decisive battle, and they also knew that the one who killed Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the peerless Qinglian before them.

Now that I have personally witnessed her beauty, I feel immense respect and awe.

But when they saw Qinglian cooking, her virtuous appearance completely shattered their awe-inspiring image of her. They not only felt that she was more real, but also felt deeply proud.

If it weren't for my aunt's strong push, how could my brothers have been qualified to become the master's pageboys?
　Two-in-one!
