Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 369 [Private Use of Reincarnation, Earth Mother's Karma]

"Who is it?"

Although the five reincarnated Great Luo Golden Immortals have not yet fully recovered their cultivation, they can still sense the changes in the surrounding spatial power!

Daoist Cangsong summoned a magic sword, intending to tear through the void, but before he could make a move, the blood-red sky crashed down!

"This is?"

Back then, in the Golden Crow Burning World Formation, Daoist Cangsong had seen this supernatural power.

"Xuan Yin!"

He knew that the one who made the move was Xuan Yin's Asura incarnation. Even if he hadn't recovered his cultivation yet, or even if he were at his peak, the few of them wouldn't be a match for Xuan Yin's incarnation!

Therefore, when he saw this supernatural power, he had only one thought in his mind!

escape!

Unfortunately, he had already fallen into the small world of the Overlapping Barrier Evolution, where the power of the Blood Sea and the power of the Five Elements transformed the surrounding void into an impenetrable wall.

The sword light he unleashed was instantly swallowed up by the blood-sea phantom in the void.

Before he could try again, Xuanyuan charged at him, and a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure-level divine sword instantly revealed its boundless sharpness.

Within the golden-black sword aura, there was not only the aura of an emperor, the majesty of a hegemon, but also the unruly killing intent of a demonic cultivator.

Daoist Cangsong was sent flying by the sword.

If he were in his prime, he would never have taken a Taiyi-level sword qi seriously. But now, he only has the Great Luo Dao Fruit, and the power he can mobilize is not even comparable to that of an ordinary Golden Immortal. If he hadn't used his Great Luo characteristics to step into another timeline just now, he would probably have perished on the spot!

"Again!"

Xuanyuan, utilizing his Taiyi characteristics, unleashed another sword strike, the black-gold sword light instantly locking onto the timeline that Cangsong Daoren had just opened.

In terms of the convergence of the Taiyi timeline and the opening of the Daluo timeline, if we only consider their own characteristics, Daoist Cangsong is definitely superior to Xuanyuan.

However, the Cangsong Daoist is no longer at his peak and does not have enough magical power to create a timeline that is favorable to himself in a predetermined dead end. This is now a very difficult thing for him.

He didn't get a second chance!

Boom!

Xuanyuan's sword light pierced through him instantly. His true spirit tried to escape by taking advantage of the characteristics of the Great Luo, but Xuanyuan was faster than him. An ancient cauldron flew out and directly suppressed his physical body and primordial spirit.

"A Primordial Spiritual Treasure!"

Daoist Cangsong's face was extremely grim. Since the innate spiritual treasure also possessed the characteristics of the Great Luo, he had no chance to escape under these circumstances.

Whether it's the physical body, the primordial spirit, the true spirit, or the Great Luo Dao Fruit, all are unable to move an inch under the suppression of that great cauldron.

【Azure Sky Cauldron】

Chi You naturally approved of Fu Zhang's idea of ​​secretly infiltrating the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty with Xuan Yuan to target those reincarnated Great Luo Immortals!

However, for Xuanyuan's safety, he still temporarily lent him the top-grade innate spiritual treasure bestowed by Houtu as a protective treasure.

This Azure Heaven Cauldron is a companion spiritual treasure of the ancient god Azure Heaven. It can be used for refining weapons, as well as for protection or suppression.

Dealing with a few incomplete Great Luo is a piece of cake. Even if a Quasi-Saint were to take action, it would take some effort to break through the Azure Heaven Cauldron's defenses!

"Once I've refined your essence, I can begin the process of breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Xuanyuan had long been on the verge of breaking through to the Great Luo realm, but he hadn't broken through yet because he wanted to use the essence of those reincarnated Great Luo realm beings to increase his foundation.

After suppressing the Cangsong Daoist, he turned to look at the place where the barrier was located.

If Xuanyuan could easily suppress Cangsong Daoren and deal with Xuanling Tianzun, Zihuang, and others, then it would be even more effortless for him!

With a single, terrifying sword strike, the Xuanling Heavenly Venerable, Zihuang, and Shuimu Niangniang were all obliterated by the terrifying sword light.

Their true spirits tried to escape, but were instantly suppressed by the Ninth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

As for Yuhengzi, he was originally a human who made the move, and now he has been reincarnated as a human. He did not use the same methods he used against Xuanling Tianzun and the others.

"The Divine Light of the End Times!"

He once again used the Great Dao of the End of the Primordial Cycle to diminish Yuhengzi's Three Flowers and Five Qi.

"No!"

Yu Hengzi felt he had no words to express his suffering. Losing one's cultivation level once is enough, but this was the second time that his cultivation had been stripped away by the barrier!

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Fu Zhang couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't want this to happen either, but you insisted on following your senior brothers and sisters to help Haotian!"

"Choices determine destiny!"

"To prevent you from repeating the same mistake, once I leave the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty, I will send you to the West to accompany your senior brother, Daoist Qingxuan!"

After the Lingxian lineage was replaced by the Jiexian lineage, Qingxuan Daojun, Shuiyue Xianzi, and others were converted to the Western Paradise by Amitabha Buddha!

Yu Hengzi was, after all, born of the human race, and Xuan Yin still wanted to spare his life!

However, his obedience to the decree of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was also a problem. After much thought, the best solution was to hand him over to the Daoist Zhunti for salvation.

Yuhengzi, seemingly resigned to his fate, sighed softly, "Going west? Perhaps staying away from the struggle for the Human Emperor's throne is a good idea!"

With the fall of the Holy Mother Taiyuan, their cultivation was lost, and the Lingxian lineage had long since ceased to exist in name only.

However, just as Fuzhang suppressed Yuhengzi and was preparing to search for other reincarnated Daluo, an aura belonging to a great supernatural being suddenly erupted, and even more Netherworld power attacked him.

"The Tao gives birth to the Tao and the Tao perishes!"

"All things become the Way!"

After using the Ninth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to protect himself and Xuanyuan, Fuzhang did not hesitate at all and directly unleashed two sword strikes with the Yellow Spring Sword and the Netherworld Sword.

The first sword strike, a confluence of creation and destruction, like the birth and death of the Great Dao, instantly annihilated the Netherworld power that was attacking him and Xuanyuan.

The second sword strike, however, is nothing but extreme destruction, as if all things wither and all paths collapse, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might lose himself and his Dao.

But just as the second sword was about to strike the powerful cultivator, six illusory figures of reincarnation slowly emerged from the illusion, appearing and disappearing, devouring all the killing intent contained in the second sword.

"The power of reincarnation?"

Fu Zhang found it hard to believe; it was the first time he had ever seen the power of reincarnation materialize in anyone other than Hou Tu.

He immediately thought of the being who helped Xuanling Tianzun and others reincarnate into the human race.

"Fellow Daoist, you certainly have a lot of courage!"

Fu Zhang sneered and looked in the direction of the attacker: "Stealing the power of reincarnation, fellow Daoist, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the Earth Goddess Houtu?"

Reincarnation is a public instrument, but the Great Dao of Reincarnation is controlled by Houtu.

Such actions by the other party are undoubtedly eroding the foundation of Houtu and reincarnation. It's no wonder that Houtu would allow Chiyou to take action against the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty ahead of schedule.

Even if the barrier were replaced, he couldn't tolerate it!

The young woman appeared from the void and slowly spoke, "There are countless Great Daos, so why can't I cultivate the Great Dao that even the Goddess Houtu can cultivate?"

She looked at the barrier, her expression unchanged: "The Xuanmen sect still has several lineages of saints; why can't there be two places within the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

As she spoke, thirty-six layers of female qing hell phantoms appeared behind her, and countless yin gods and fierce ghosts set up a large array within the hell phantoms.

An unparalleled suppressive power emerged, the void trembled, and the chains of order transformed into a net of law, seemingly intending to leave Fuzhang and Xuanyuan here.

【Datong Style】

Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Zhang unleashed his supernatural power and struck at the young woman.

In an instant, the eight winds of heaven and earth surged and filled all directions, surrounding Nüqing, and there was a sense of heat and cold lingering around her.

Boom!

The void trembled, the universe shook, and the Great Harmony Wind and the hellish phantom evolved by the Green Woman collided continuously, unleashing terrifying power in an instant.

However, Fu Zhang was just a feint. He turned into a gentle breeze and carried Xuan Yuan away, showing no intention of engaging Nü Qing in a direct confrontation!

【Taohua Qingfeng】

When the young woman broke through the curtain of the Great Harmony Wind, only a wisp of breeze remained, and Fuzhang and Xuanyuan were no longer there.

During their initial exchange, Fu Zhang had already gauged the general strength of the young woman.

Three Corpse Quasi-Saint!

He certainly wouldn't be a match on his own, unless he borrows the power of the Earthly Dao Fruit!

However, with Xuanyuan still standing to the side, if he were to fight Nüqing with all his might, he was not confident that he could protect Xuanyuan and prevent the ordinary human beings from being affected!

Having already dealt with five reincarnated Grand Luo Golden Immortals during this infiltration of the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty, there's no need to get entangled with Nü Qing here.

after all----

He has achieved his goal!

When Xuanyuan is not around, or when he is not in a human settlement, he will come back to properly learn from Nüqing's skills!

"Young women?"

Although he had never interacted with the young woman before, Fu Zhang still recognized her.

There's no other reason than this!

All beings who cultivate to the Great Luo Dao Fruit will go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun preach. Nüqing is also one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace!

In addition, when he listened to the Tongtian Sect Leader recount the events of the past twenty reincarnations, he also heard about how Nüqing and Yuanshi Tianzun collaborated to create the thirty-six levels of Nüqing Hell in the Netherworld.

Upon seeing the phantom of the thirty-six levels of hell, Fu Zhang confirmed the other party's identity, but he did not expect the other party to be so audacious.

In this era, even Houtu has become a saint, yet she still dares to covet the power of reincarnation!

However, considering that Yuanshi Tianzun had the support, Fuzhang felt that things were quite reasonable. He just admired that Nüqing dared to stand on the opposite side of Houtu!

"The Way of Law!"

But what shocked Fu Zhang the most was the aura of law he sensed from the young woman.

Apart from his own body and the Ziwei Emperor, he had never encountered anyone in the Primordial True Realm who had elevated the Dao of Law to the Quasi-Saint level.

"It was her!"

While Fuzhang and Nüqing were fighting, Houtu, far away in the Netherworld, finally figured out who was stealing the reincarnation authority!

In the darkness, two immense karmic connections emerged between her and the young woman!

One of the causes and effects was that Nüqing evolved into the Lesser Six Paths of Reincarnation, which led to the fragmentation of Houtu's control over the reincarnation of the Primordial True Realm!

The other cause and effect comes from the Earth Mother Yuanjun, or rather, the Earth Mother Dao Fruit!

The first Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign transformed into the Dao, and Nüqing was born from the place where she transformed into the Dao. She should rightfully become the second Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign of the Primordial True Realm.

However, in order to attain the status of a saint in the earthly realm, Nuwa first proved herself as the Earth Mother Yuanjun and then entrusted the Earth Mother Dao Fruit to Houtu to complete the earthly realm!

In this way, the cause and effect of the Earth Mother's Dao Fruit fell on Houtu.

"That's a problem!"

Houtu wanted to directly kill Nüqing, but the earthly path was weak, which might give Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun an excuse to take action.

Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had always wanted to suppress the Wu tribe, especially after Chiyou participated in the struggle for the Human Emperor as a disciple of the Wu religion.

If she makes a move, then the Primordial Celestial Venerable will definitely target the disciples of the Witch Cult directly.

She was absolutely certain of this.

Moreover, those two in the West will probably be eager to find an opportunity to interfere in reincarnation!

Despite the fact that Xuan Yin has collaborated with the two Western Saints a few times, that was Xuan Yin, not her, the Daoist Saint who holds the future of the West in her hands.

Buddhist teachings cannot be separated from reincarnation, placing hope in the next life. If the West is to prosper, the two Western Saints must intervene in the cycle of reincarnation!

For example, the relics that replace the innate spiritual treasure and allow Buddhist disciples to cultivate the method of severing the three bodies must be condensed through reincarnation.

However, if the memories are not preserved, it is feared that even after countless reincarnations, it will be difficult to attain the Great Luo realm again, thus condensing a relic sufficient for severing the corpse.

If one retains memories to be reincarnated, it would violate the principle of fairness and justice in the cycle of reincarnation!

Under normal circumstances, at least at the Taiyi realm, after the timeline is involved, the reincarnated being will gradually awaken the memories of the previous life.

Of course, there are also some unconventional methods, such as drinking less of the Meng Po soup and then having a Buddhist monk awaken their memories!

In the past twenty cycles of rebirth, Buddhism has done this kind of thing quite often.

For example, a certain Arhat who subdued dragons was just a mortal when he was reincarnating and going through tribulations, but his memories were awakened by his fellow disciples on his wedding night.

And then there's the Buddha of the Southern Sea Thunder Sound. If he didn't have some old grudges with Tengshe, why would he care about the love between a human and a demon after his reincarnation? Why did he have to take action and imprison Tengshe's daughter under Leifeng Pagoda?

The Heavenly Laws only stipulate that gods cannot fall in love, but they don't stipulate that humans and demons cannot fall in love, let alone that different races cannot unite!

If different races were not allowed to interbreed, where would the witches and giants come from, and how would so many races have evolved?

If different races combine and all violate the heavenly laws, then the ancestral dragon of the dragon race should have to go to the execution platform of the heavenly court countless times.

after all----

Nearly half of the races in the Primordial True Realm have the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon flowing through them!

The First Dragon and the Crocodile Ancestor gave birth to the Pig Dragon clan, the Turtle Immortal gave birth to the Dragon Turtle lineage, and even the Great Luo of the Qilin clan gave birth to the Dragon Qilin.

Everyone is a dragon, and everything in the universe can become a dragon; this is not just a saying.

Therefore, the reason why the reincarnation of the Buddha of the Southern Sea Thunder Sound was targeting a certain white snake was actually due to the grudges between their fathers!

With his strength, even if he can't beat Tengshe, can't he beat his daughter?

The root of all this is that Buddhist disciples retain their memories when they are reincarnated.

Buddhism speaks of innate wisdom and the existence of people who have been virtuous for nine lifetimes, having a karmic connection with the Buddha in every life. Isn't entering the Buddhist order just manipulating the cycle of reincarnation?

Otherwise, why is it that others don't awaken their innate wisdom, but you do? Others may reincarnate for hundreds of lifetimes and only have one chance to be a monk, but you have been a monk for nine consecutive lifetimes, having a connection with the Buddha in every life?

Of course, the Taoist sect also did this in the past twenty cycles of reincarnation, but they were much more restrained than the Buddhist sect!

Houtu is not incapable of cooperating with Buddhism, but reincarnation is a public institution. If she were to cooperate with Buddhism for her own benefit, her Dao heart would inevitably be tainted, and she might even be rejected by the origin of the Dao.

Therefore, she must maintain absolute impartiality in matters of reincarnation!

The conflict between Houtu and Buddhism was irreconcilable from the very beginning!

Xuan Yin did not control the cycle of reincarnation and did not need to be impartial, so he could change his mind repeatedly. However, Hou Tu had to prevent other saints from interfering in the cycle of reincarnation!

Those who witnessed the battle between Fuzhang and Nüqing were not only Houtu, but also the two Western Saints.

The Daoist Zhunti exclaimed in shock, "That fellow Yuanshi actually created a minor Six Paths of Reincarnation—his understanding of the Great Dao of Reincarnation is profound!"

"Senior brother!"

"Houtu strictly guards against reincarnation, and cultivators holding important positions in the underworld need to rely on the Three Lives every so often—"

"Let's test the impartiality of this stone—we had no chance to interfere at all!"

"Could we emulate the Primordial Celestial Venerable and create a smaller cycle of six realms of reincarnation?"

Upon hearing this, the Guide fell silent for a long time before finally speaking, "The Lesser Six Paths of Reincarnation aren't so easy to evolve!"

"Buddhism speaks of cause and effect, Nirvana, and reincarnation. Our understanding of the Great Dao of Reincarnation is in no way inferior to that of the Primordial Celestial Venerable!"

"But reincarnation is the authority of the Earthly Path, while we are sages of the Heavenly Path. If we were to intervene, it might cause the will of the Earthly Path to turn against Buddhism!"

"It would be best to find a primordial being with some affinity for the power of the underworld!"

"Originally, Ksitigarbha was the most suitable candidate, but he gave up his own opportunity and instead allowed Xuanzang King Bodhisattva to make a great vow!"

"Now----"

"He's no longer suitable!"

The most suitable people to do this kind of thing are the former lineage of the Earth God, or innate beings who have inherited the karma of the Earth God lineage.

Yuejian, Tubo, Dimu Yuanjun, Wangchuan, Taishan Fujun, Bixia Yuanjun —

In the mind of the Guide Daoist, images of the great supernatural beings of the Earth God lineage kept appearing. Although most of them had perished in the Primordial Era, their Great Dao was not without successors!

Shennong inherited the Daoguo of Tubo and also some of the power of Yuejian.

The young woman inherited the karma of the Earth Mother Yuanjun, but the second Earth Mother was Nuwa, and the third Earth Mother is Houtu, who is now in charge of reincarnation!

The Lord of Wangchuan and the Lord of Mount Tai have long since perished, and there are still no suitable successors.

However, Bixia Yuanjun is a powerful figure from the Earth God lineage that survived from the Divine Path era. After the Immortal Path flourished in the Primordial True Realm, she also opened up the Ancestral Immortal lineage and became one of the Nine Primordial Immortals!

In addition, the First Qilin, one of the Five Emperors of the Primordial Era, is also a descendant of the Earth Gods, but now he also bears the responsibility of bringing auspicious omens to the Heavenly Dao.

The Guide Daoist pondered deeply, but couldn't find a suitable one!

He sighed, "Actually, the Lord of Mount Tai is the most suitable. The earth also has yin and yang. The Dao Fruit of the Great Emperor of Fengdu represents the yin of the earth, the death of reincarnation, while the Lord of Mount Tai represents the yang of the earth, the life of reincarnation. His authority is most suitable for intervening in reincarnation!"

In the past, Mount Tai nurtured two innate deities: one is the present-day Bixia Yuanjun, and the other is the long-deceased Lord of Mount Tai!

"Perhaps we can try to get him back!"

Daoist Zhunti laughed and said, "Didn't that fellow Yuanshi Tianzun retrieve Lady Ziguang, Gouchen, and Fenglong from the River of Time?"

Why can't we follow suit?

It is an indisputable fact that the Lord of Mount Tai has perished, but as sages, it is not difficult for them to alter cause and effect and give the Lord of Mount Tai a greater chance of returning in the future.

"and----"

The Daoist Zhunti continued, "I remember that the Lord of Mount Tai and the Jade Maiden of Bixia had an extremely good relationship. If we can bring the Lord of Mount Tai back—then the Jade Maiden of Bixia might very well turn to Buddhism!"

Upon hearing this, the Guide Daoist's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea! If we can persuade the Lord of Mount Tai to return, the karma of saving his life will surely lead him to become a member of Buddhism!"

"As for Bixia Yuanjun, it would be excellent if she could align herself with Buddhism!"

"But if she's unwilling, there's no need to force her; just don't help Houtu!"

After making up their minds, the Guide Daoist and the Zhunti Daoist immediately joined forces to trace the causal imprint of the Lord of Mount Tai in the long river of time and space.
