I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

“Wan Nian, Qiong Xiao, Bi Xiao, whatever you hear or see, you must not leave this place, understand?” Yun Xiao reminded her.

"Why, sister? I still want to travel among the human race and take on a few disciples to strengthen our Jie Sect's lineage," Bixiao said.

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao was helpless.

Recruiting disciples from among the human race is an old tradition of the Jie Sect.

Each of their generation of disciples typically had several disciples among the human race. This was also the case with the disciples of the Jie Sect.

In essence, the teachings are open to all, regardless of background or ability. The disciples of the Jie Sect do not consider aptitude, talent, or birth when accepting disciples. As long as you have a heart for the Dao, they will generally accept you as a disciple.

Unlike the Chan sect, which focuses on birth and lineage, Chan sect disciples are generally of extraordinary origin, being reincarnations of certain special beings.

“You are also Great Luo Golden Immortals, can’t you feel the surging calamity energy of heaven and earth and the increasing mortal energy? These are all poison to those who cultivate the Dao,” Yunxiao explained.

“I felt it, but it’s useless to us Great Luo Golden Immortals; we’re not affected at all,” Bixiao said.

“Indeed, the impact is minimal, but even we Great Luo Golden Immortals cannot escape karma. Especially with the next great calamity approaching, you two are not allowed to leave for the next ten thousand years, or I will break your legs.” Yunxiao’s tone was serious.

"..." Qiongxiao, Bixiao.

I don't know why, but my older sister wasn't gentle at all today; she was quite fierce.

Yunxiao was a bit ruthless today, but it's better than her two younger sisters losing their lives in the future.

Furthermore, she now belatedly realizes that her two younger sisters have personality flaws; they are too spoiled and unruly. No wonder they dared to attack a saint during the Great Tribulation—they are truly audacious.

"Ding! A new member matching the criteria has been detected. Inviting them is in progress!"

"Inviting you!"

"Ding, invitation successful. Chen Nan has joined the Avenue Chat Group."

"Ding, invitation successful. Sage has joined the Great Dao Chat Group."

"Ding, invitation successful. The Corpse Immortal Emperor has joined the Great Dao Chat Group."

"Ding, invitation successful. Ancestral Witch Houtu has joined the Great Dao Chat Group."

Four new members joined the group, and the existing members welcomed them warmly.

Wudang Wang Ye: "Welcome newcomers, welcome newcomers! Looking at the new group members' names, they seem mysterious yet impressive."

Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin: "Welcome, newcomer!"

Qian Renxue: "Welcome, newcomers! Welcome, newcomers!"

Fang Yuan: "Welcome, newcomer!"

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Welcome, newcomer!"

Wang Lin: "Welcome, newcomer!"

Qi Jingchun: "Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar!"

Li Xingyun: "Six!"

Xu Yi: "Welcome, newcomer!"

Xu Yi glanced at the newcomers' names; they were all familiar titles.

Chen Nan should come from the "God's Tomb" plane. In this world, gods and demons are rampant. As the chosen one of the plane, Chen Nan was killed at the beginning and has been sleeping for ten thousand years.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor also entered, but it's unclear which timeline he's from.

There is also the Ancestral Witch Houtu, who is also an extraordinary being.

The wise man, Xu Yi really didn't know who this person was.

In all the heavens and myriad realms, there are many sages by various names, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact one.

However, now that you've joined the chat group, you'll probably find out who the other person is soon.

……

Chapter 391 Houtu: I Will Change the Fate of the Ancestral Witches

The Great Way Chat Group.

Chen Nan: "Where am I? Am I still alive?"

Chen Nan's consciousness was trapped in a millennium of chaos. He was confused and didn't know where he was. Everything in front of him was pitch black.

He only remembered fighting someone before he died, and then dying for his lover.

Although she knew her background was complicated, she couldn't care less about that anymore.

Wudang Wang Ye: "Alive? What's wrong, brother? Are you dead?"

Chen Nan: "Uh... I should have been alive before I died, but I'm not sure about now. Anyway, I remember I should be dead!"

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "!!"

Wang Lin: "!!"

Fang Yuan: "If someone is dead, they are dead. If they can still reply to messages, then they are not dead."

Qian Renxue: "Eat watermelon!"

Black Emperor: "Eat watermelon!"

Imperial Saintess: "Add one!"

Chen Nan: "..."

Chen Nan felt that this strange encounter was really wonderful. He was already dead, but his consciousness was still there. So, was he dead or alive? He couldn't move even if he wanted to, as if he couldn't feel his limbs.

Wudang Wang Ye: "Besides Brother Chen Nan, where are the other newcomers? Say hello."

Fairy Yunxiao: "Is the newcomer Houtu, one of the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Ancestral Witch Clan?"

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch: "I am Houtu, but not a sage. Do you know me, fellow Daoist?"

Stone Monkey: "The Ancestral Witch Houtu? I, Old Sun, only know about the Goddess Houtu. What's this Ancestral Witch all about!"

Sun Wukong exists in Journey to the West, while the Ancestral Witches exist in the Primordial Era series. They are similar, but their origins are quite different.

Fairy Yunxiao: "In the past, the great god Pangu created the world and fought against three thousand demon gods. In the end, he was exhausted and perished. After Pangu's death, his physical body transformed into mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and the stars, giving life to the new world. The essence of Pangu's primordial spirit transformed into the Three Pure Ones, and his blood essence transformed into the Twelve Ancestral Witches."

The Ancestral Witch Clan inherited the physical gifts of the Great God Pangu, making them the most physically powerful beings in the world. They were also born with mastery of one of the twelve powerful laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Houtu: "It seems that you are very knowledgeable about the Ancestral Witches. May I ask where you come from?"

Fairy Yunxiao: "It's a bit complicated to explain. By some reckoning, I'm a descendant of Houtu, and we share similar backgrounds, but we're not in the same world. This is because the Lich-Demon Calamity has ended here. The Ancestral Witches and the Demon Race fought a great war, both sides were severely injured, and they withdrew from the stage of Heaven and Earth. Of the twelve Ancestral Witches, only Houtu is still alive; the rest have perished."

Houtu: "What? You mean all eleven of my brothers have perished? How is that possible? Who in this world could kill my brothers? Not even a sage could. Who are you?"

Houtu was shocked when she first heard the news, and she didn't believe it at first. But then she thought about the current situation in the world, and realized that it was not impossible for everything to be destroyed in the end.

Xu Yi: "Fellow Daoist Houtu, Yunxiao is Yunxiao, a disciple of the Shangqing Saint of the Three Pure Ones."

Houtu: "Yunxiao, the Sage of Shangqing, a disciple of the Jie Sect!"

Houtu was aware of this situation. With the establishment of the three religions, the number of cultivators in the world was gradually increasing. In particular, the human race had learned the methods of the sages from the three religions and was gradually gaining the power to fight against the demon race. However, the human race was still weak and could not compare with the current demon court.

Humanity is too weak, so weak that even Great Luo Golden Immortals are rare.

The demon race alone has hundreds of Great Luo Golden Immortals. In this timeline, the human race is the blood food of the demon race.

Houtu: "Where exactly is this place? And who are you?"

Fairy Yunxiao: "Senior Houtu, this place is similar to a space that allows communication between different worlds. You will naturally understand it after you stay here for a while. However, you already know about the future of the Ancestral Witches. Do you want to change it?"

Houtu: "Change? Of course I want my brothers to live, but I cannot obey their will. In this world, only one Lich can exist."

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were formed from the essence and blood of Pangu, inheriting Pangu's ferocity and being extremely warlike. They also had significant flaws in their personalities.

It can be said that, apart from Houtu being an exception, the other eleven Ancestral Witches were basically all war maniacs.

Fairy Yunxiao: "As long as you want to change things, there will always be a chance. At least you can prevent all your brothers from perishing..."

Yunxiao actually understands Houtu quite well. The Lich War is the evolution of heaven and earth. The dark hand behind the scenes is pushing the waves and constantly igniting this great war. In reality, it is still the calculation of the Heavenly Dao.

The Jie Sect and the Ancestral Witch Clan were actually victims of the Great Calamity.

Houtu was the most benevolent and kind of the twelve ancestral witches, and she was born disliking war and was extremely kind.

She sheltered a portion of the human race and even passed on some ancient human witchcraft techniques to cultivate the physical body, giving the human race much more power to protect themselves.

Although the human race was taught the Golden Elixir Method by Taiqing, this method was actually incomplete and did not contain the secrets to becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Moreover, it was almost impossible for the human race to cultivate to the Great Luo level through the Golden Elixir Path.

The ancient witchcraft taught by Houtu is a supernatural power specifically for tempering the physical body. Once successfully cultivated, it is almost possible to shake top-grade magic treasures with the physical body and achieve enlightenment through the physical body. In terms of combat ability, it is actually stronger.

Unfortunately, the Ancestral Witch's primordial spirit was incomplete, she did not understand the timing of heaven, and she was not good at some of the supernatural powers of the primordial spirit. It would not be of much use for humans to learn the methods of the primordial spirit from Houtu.

Xu Yi: "Houtu, actually Yunxiao's situation is similar to yours. You are both in the timeline of the Great Tribulation, and you are also the targets of the Great Tribulation. If you do nothing, then just like the original trajectory, the Ancestral Witches will fall and the Jie Sect will disband."

Houtu: "Even the lineage of sages will dissolve. Sages are immortal, omniscient, and omnipotent supreme beings! The lineage of sages is eternal!"

Wudang Wang Ye: "That's the truth, Empress Houtu. But even the Jie Sect can't withstand the combined attacks of the Chan Sect, the Ren Sect, the Western Sect, and even the entire human race, can they?"

Houtu: "..."

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "A Saint? Is he very powerful?"

At this moment, the Corpse Immortal Emperor, who had just been promoted to Immortal Emperor, finally spoke.

The moment he joined, the Corpse Immortal Emperor felt that his primordial spirit had been invaded by some strange power, but after careful examination, he found that his primordial spirit was perfect and there was no other power at play.

That makes sense, he was an Immortal Emperor, the most powerful being in all the heavens and myriad realms.

What power could corrupt one's primordial spirit? In an instant, he understood the Great Dao Chat Group and realized that its members came from different dimensions.

As the first emperor of all heavens, upon hearing that the sages were immortal, omniscient, omnipotent, and supreme, the Corpse Immortal Emperor still harbored a competitive spirit.

Is the Sage stronger, or the Immortal Emperor?

It seems that "sage" is a title for a peak powerhouse in another world; it certainly has a mysterious and awe-inspiring quality.

Saintess Didou: "The Corpse Immortal Emperor, could it be that unlucky Immortal Emperor who was corrupted by some strange thing?!"

Chu Luoli: "I think it's most likely, but he should be called Emperor Bone Brother."

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "??"

……

Chapter 392 Wei Lingying and Shi Hao

In a remote mountain temple in China.

A young girl dressed in a white Taoist robe opened her eyes from her closed eyes. Her eyes were bright, her temperament was elegant, and her body exuded a faint aura of life.

This is a very unique girl. She is not very old, but she gives people a sense of calm and security, perhaps because she has been practicing Taoism for many years.

The girl's name is Wei Lingying. She is a Taoist nun, and this world is not an ordinary world.

"Chat group, isn't this the kind of cheat code in online novels? How did it appear here? Could it be that I really am the destined heroine, destined to save the world in the future!" Wei Lingying muttered to herself.

She is a natural source energy user. Possessing source energy gives rise to various special abilities based on one's own attributes. There are not many beings in this world who possess source energy, and natural source energy users are even rarer.

Her source energy attribute is medical, which can quickly heal the wounded and even bring them back to life. This ability is extremely powerful and very rare in this world.

Although Wei Lingying practiced her spiritual cultivation in a Taoist temple, she often went down the mountain to treat people, and was deeply loved by ordinary people, earning her the reputation of a sage.

But Wei Lingying was just a girl around twenty years old, with a lively personality. She was extremely happy and excited to be invited to join the chat group, but the topics discussed by the group members were so outrageous.

Sages, ancestral witches, and great immortals have all appeared. Do these mythical figures really exist?

She practiced in a Taoist temple, so she naturally knew a lot about Taoist deities and immortals. She longed for the existence of these deities, but also knew that they were myths and not real.

However, Wei Lingying, being a modern person, quickly accepted this aspect.

It has all the energy, it can even bring the dead back to life, so what's wrong with having a few more mythical gods?

Who knows, maybe one day she really will become an immortal.

In the Dadao chat group, the chat among the members continued. Wei Lingying quietly peeked at the screen and took a look at the members.

She didn't know or recognize some of the group members at all. But she knew the background of some members just by their names.

For example, the Stone Monkey, the Cloud Fairy, and the Ancestral Witch Houtu!
