Primordial Era: Unparalleled Comprehension, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Three Immortals

Chapter 72 The Way of the Physical Body, Houtu's Enlightenment.

"Chen Qing, you just mentioned wanting to cultivate your physical body, and I can explain to you how to do it."

Chen Qing was overjoyed to hear this.

"Thank you, Ancestral Witch Houtu. Please rest assured, Ancestral Witch, you are right. I will definitely not let you down."

After thinking for a while, he realized that Houtu, who opened up the underworld, might actually become the embodiment of reincarnation, so he said a few more words.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, could the Heavenly Dao possibly detect this place?"

Houtu looked at Chen Qing in surprise upon hearing this, then shook her head.

"This is my residence, which contains a rare treasure that isolates me from the Heavenly Dao, and even sages cannot explore it."

Hearing this, Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, on this journey, you might transform into other substances, just like the Great God Pangu. Do you still wish to go?"

Houtu listened to these words with a resolute expression.

"The Father God has chosen me, and as His descendant, how can I not go?"

Chen Qing knew this would be the outcome, and sighed helplessly.

"In that case, the Ancestral Witch Houtu will leave a few drops of her essence blood here so that the descendants of the Witch Clan can use it to break through to the Ancestral Witch Realm."

"It should be noted that the Twelve Divine Fiends Formation of the Witch Clan is indispensable."

Houtu listened to these words and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

"Chen Qing, you're right, it was my oversight."

Then, he took out a bottle, forced nine drops of his own blood into it, covered the bottle opening, and placed it in a box.

"Chen Qing, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have made a grave mistake and become a sinner of the Witch Clan."

"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll explain the path of physical cultivation to you."

Hearing this, and looking at Houtu's excited face, Chen Qing had other thoughts in his mind.

His thinking was simple: if the Witch Clan were to perish prematurely, how could he possibly survive and develop? The Witch Clan was about to face the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

Now, he needs the Lich and Demon races to continue their struggle, while he himself needs to constantly strengthen himself.

Currently, his strength is still somewhat weak. In the later stages of the Investiture of the Gods, even saints had to step in. With his current strength, he is just an ant in front of a saint.

Kong Xuan was awesome, right? The first peacock in the world, his Five Elements Divine Light could sweep away anything. In the end, he was still converted by Zhunti.

His current goal is to equalize the strength of the Lich and Demon races, giving himself time to enhance his cultivation.

The Wu Clan possesses the essence blood of these nine drops of the Ancestral Wu Houtu. If they can find a top-tier Wu who cultivates the Earth Element Law, breaking through to the Ancestral Wu level is not impossible.

Chen Qing looked at Houtu with a smile on his face, thinking to himself that his plan should not go wrong.

When Houtu, the ancestral witch, saw the smile on Chen Qing's face, she immediately smiled as well.

"Chen Qing, my clan is born with strong physical bodies and has a unique understanding of the way of physical cultivation. I will explain to you the way of physical cultivation and some of my insights."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's face lit up with joy.

"In that case, I will trouble the ancestral witch Houtu to explain."

Houtu smiled and then began her explanation.

"The most important aspect of physical cultivation is to temper oneself, from the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, blood, and internal organs until the body becomes indestructible, constantly strengthening oneself."

Because you listened to the teachings of the Ancestral Witch, your understanding of physical cultivation has become much more thorough!

Houtu, the ancestral witch, spoke for a hundred years. During this hundred years, Chen Qing, based on what Houtu said and verifying his own creation, the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Scripture, gained a new understanding of the path of physical cultivation.

If he weren't currently in a witch tribe, he would have already begun his cultivation.

"Thank you for the explanation, Houtu Ancestral Witch. These past hundred years have given me a new understanding of the path of physical cultivation."

Houtu looked at Chen Qing with a smile on her face.

"Chen Qing, now that everything is settled, shouldn't you take me out to have my doubts answered?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's face showed a slight embarrassment.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, have the affairs of the tribe been arranged properly?"

Houtu nodded upon hearing this.

"The affairs of my tribe have been arranged properly. In my absence, someone will take care of them."

Chen Qing nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, then I will travel with her across this primordial land."

"During my travels, I will offer some guidance and answer your questions, Houtu Ancestral Witch."

Hearing this, I walked forward the day after tomorrow.

Chen Qing followed him out, and the two walked across the vast, untamed land.

Chen Qing was excited at this moment because a great merit was about to be bestowed upon him.

Oh, the underworld! This is a great merit. If done properly, you will receive this great merit and then travel through the primordial world without much worry.

Moreover, accumulating merit can enhance one's fortune.

Heaven bestows special favor upon those who perform great deeds.

Those who have performed great deeds are those who have contributed to Heaven and Earth, and Heaven will naturally favor them.

This merit is like a panacea; it can be used to refine weapons, temper the body, and suppress destiny. If one accumulates enough merit, one can attain the position of a saint or break through to the Hunyuan realm.

Although his cultivation method doesn't require it, he doesn't discriminate when it comes to accumulating merit.

Chen Qing looked at the Ancestral Witch Houtu walking ahead, his eyes filled with longing.

This is a great act of merit, and he must seize it.

If we lose this great merit, then the only merit left is the Lich War and the merit of mending the sky.

However, the merit of mending the sky probably has little to do with him, because his cultivation level is not high enough.

Following them were the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, but these Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were not divided among the three religions.

If he wanted to acquire it, it would be somewhat difficult.

Now that the underworld has performed such a great service, how could we possibly let this opportunity pass?

Chen Qing and Houtu, the ancestral witch, embarked on a journey through the primordial world, a journey that lasted for a thousand years.

"Chen Qing, tell me, where do the true spirits of the creatures that fought in this primordial world go after they die?"

Hearing Houtu Zuwu's question, Chen Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. This question had really hit the nail on the head.

This is no wonder he has worked so hard for thousands of years.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, tell me, where should the true spirits of creatures that die in battle go?"

The day after tomorrow, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He looked into the distance and continued forward with a sense of doubt.

Seeing this, Chen Qing glanced in the direction and continued to follow.

The two traveled for hundreds of years and unknowingly arrived at a land filled with blood.

A sea formed from blood came into view.

Within the vast ocean, countless ancient souls struggled in agony.

Looking at this sea of ​​blood, Chen Qing knew that this was the infamous and dangerous place in the prehistoric world, the Sea of ​​Blood.

Within the Sea of ​​Blood, there lived a great master, known as the Styx Ancestor.

He watched as the goddess Nuwa created humans, and based on Nuwa's method of creating humans, he created the Asura race.

The Styx Ancestor's strength is unfathomable; he is a renowned master of supernatural powers.

"Chen Qing, don't you think these souls are pitiful? Even after death, they still have to suffer here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Houtu and made a comment.

"Yes, they are so pitiful. It would be so good if they could have a place to shelter."

"If these souls could be reincarnated, that would be even better."

Houtu was stunned when she heard Chen Qing's words.

"A sanctuary where the dead are reborn."

These two sentences were repeated over and over again.

This repetition has lasted for a century.

A hundred years later, Houtu rose up, a glint of light in her eyes.

"I understand, I get it. Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Chen Qing."

"I now know what my doubts are."

"When the Father God Pangu separated heaven and earth, he created this primordial world, but there was a lack of a place where the dead could be reincarnated."

"Since it's missing, I'll make up for it."

"I, Houtu of the Wu Clan, as a descendant of the Father God, should naturally make up for this deficiency of the Father God."
