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

Chapter 76, Lady Pingxin, The Underworld (End)

Hearing what everyone was saying, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, shook her head slightly, sighed, and spoke softly.

"From this day forward, Houtu will no longer be a witch, and my name will be Pingxin."

Upon hearing the words of Lady Pingxin, everyone immediately understood why the Ancestral Witch Houtu had spoken in this way.

The land of reincarnation is where all races reincarnate. The most important thing is fairness. If there is no fair and just heart to treat all beings, how can they feel at ease reincarnating?

At this moment, Houtu's willingness to give up her identity as a member of the Wu tribe demonstrates her sense of fairness.

When the eleventh ancestral witch of the Wu tribe saw Houtu appear again, their faces lit up with joy. But upon hearing these words, their expressions changed, and they looked at Houtu with disbelief in their eyes.

A colorful phoenix flew in from the horizon, carrying a fruit in its beak, and headed towards Pingxin.

This is the status of a Heavenly Saint. If one accepts it with a calm mind, then from this day forward, one will be a Heavenly Saint.

In this way, the Heavenly Way will be above the Earthly Way.

Pingxin glanced at the fruit but did not take it; he merely glanced at Hongjun Daozu.

Not long after, deep within the cycle of reincarnation, a little demon, holding a fruit in his hand, came toward Pingxin.

Pingxin looked at the fruit and took it directly.

After merging the fruit into his body, Pingxin looked at everyone and gave them a dignified glance.

"From this day forward, I will be the first saint of the Earthly Dao, with the same status as the Saint Hongjun."

"In the future, the Way of Earth will be equal to the Way of Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Laozu's expression changed, but he was helpless.

Upon hearing this, the Six Sages glanced at Hongjun Daozu and shook their heads helplessly.

At this moment, the six sages of the Heavenly Dao felt quite uncomfortable. The first sage of the Earthly Dao had the same status as the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. From then on, there would be one more person above these six sages.

This displeased the six saints somewhat, however, they were Heavenly Saints and not under the jurisdiction of the Earthly Dao.

"I am from the Earthly Path, and when seven sages appear in the world, I will be the first sage of the Earthly Path."

"The Great Emperor of Fengdu can be considered the second saint of the Earthly Path. It is hoped that the Great Emperor of Fengdu will manage the place of reincarnation well in the future and become the second saint of the Earthly Path as soon as possible."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Qing with envy in their eyes.

However, even so, there are still five sages in the underground passage.

Those are saints! With five saintly positions offered at once, everyone saw hope, thinking that they could be valued by the saint Pingxin and granted a saintly position.

Little did they know that only those who follow the Earthly Path can become Saints. At this moment, all the powerful figures cultivated the Heavenly Path, and thus could not become Saints of the Earthly Path.

After saying this, Pingxin fell silent.

Another stream of merit flew from the horizon, heading towards the underworld.

This is the power of merit for building the underworld; the previous one was the power of merit for establishing the cycle of reincarnation.

This merit is more than half again as much as the merit a saint accumulates when they become a saint.

After the power of merit arrived, half of it was directed towards Chen Qing.

This is a reward from the Great Dao to Chen Qing, because Chen Qing contributed the most to the construction of the Underworld and should rightfully receive half of this merit.

Chen Qing accepted half of the merit power and smiled.

Now that he possesses so much merit, why should he fear the schemes of the Primordial Heavenly Lord during the Great Tribulation of the Gods?

Even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare. If someone really wanted to scheme against him, they would have to think twice.

Furthermore, if Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to kill Chen Qing, he would have to consider the consequences. After all, Chen Qing currently possessed a considerable amount of merit. If Chen Qing were killed, the heavenly punishment would be no joke; it might even directly dethrone the saint.

The remaining merit was divided into countless portions and sent to the people and things in the underworld.

Pingxin alone gained a share, because the land of reincarnation belonged to her.

Having obtained this power of great merit, she directly waved her hand, merging it into the clan's destiny.

With the help of this merit, the fortune of the Wu clan has increased dramatically. The karma accumulated by the Wu clan over the years has been almost completely dissolved by the power of merit.

The Styx Ancestor received a merit because he was the lord of the Asura Path, one of the six paths of the underworld.

The people of the Witch Clan in the Underworld also each received a share of the merit.

This time, with the opening of the cycle of reincarnation and the construction of the underworld, it can be said that Chen Qing has earned a great deal of merit, and this merit is even the merit of the Great Dao.

Moreover, Chen Qing's clone is the Emperor of Fengdu, so as long as the underworld exists, he will have a continuous stream of merit and fortune.

The Witch Clan is no less impressive; many of its high-ranking members occupy positions within the Underworld, and the soldiers below are also members of the Witch Clan.

At this moment, the Witch Clan also gained a great deal, as this might change their final fate.

Chen Qing looked at the Sage Pingxin and bowed to him.

"Chen Qing has met with the Sage Pingxin, and Chen Qing has already fulfilled the Sage Pingxin's request."

Pingxin listened to Chen Qing's words, nodded in satisfaction, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Chen Qing, you have indeed not disappointed me. You have built the Underworld so perfectly, and you have also left a way out for the Witch Clan."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to be resurrected so easily, and even if I were to be resurrected, it would have taken a long time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the Sage Pingxin with utmost respect.

"Your words are too serious, Saint Pingxin. Chen Qing was just doing what he was supposed to do."

At this point, after giving out the rewards, the Great Dao had already disappeared.

Hongjun glanced at everyone, then looked at Pingxin.

"Fellow Daoist Pingxin, now that this matter is settled, I should return to Zixiao Palace."

Pingxin listened to these words and looked at Hongjun Ancestor.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, please depart. I shall remain to guard the land of reincarnation."

Upon hearing what Consort Pingxin said, Hongjun vanished without a trace.

Everyone bowed and respectfully saw off the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The saints and the great supernatural beings of the primordial world also felt that there was nothing wrong, so they went back directly.

Some with ulterior motives thought of staying, hoping to catch the eye of the Goddess Pingxin and be granted a sacred position.

But how could that be!

The sacred position of the Earthly Path is given to those who are truly Earthly Path.

These people aren't honest people, how could they possibly have any hope of getting anything!

"Disciple Chen Qing, will you accompany your master back to Biyou Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the Sage Pingxin.

"Sage Pingxin, you and the other ancestral witches can discuss the elixir and other matters. My master has summoned me, so I must depart."

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Peaceful Mind nodded and gestured for Chen Qing to leave.

Chen Qing flew towards the Tongtian Sect Leader and arrived at his side.

"Master, I have gained a great deal from this trip, and I think it's time to return to Kunlun Mountain for seclusion."

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Chen Qing and nodded in satisfaction.

"You have come out to travel through the primordial world and have gained a great deal. You should go back and digest it to enhance your own strength."

After saying this, the Tongtian Sect Leader immediately used his supernatural powers to head back towards Kunlun Mountain.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qing also used his supernatural powers to head towards Kunlun Mountain.

At this time, only a dozen or so people remained in the underworld, while eleven ancestral witches stayed behind.

Seeing that most of the people had left, they walked towards the Sage of Peace and began to talk there.
