Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed.

Chapter 37 Returning to the Underworld to Meet Houtu!

Why are those disciples of saints so arrogant and domineering, causing trouble everywhere, without any fear of offending the powerful?

Because they are backed by the Sage Sect, any cultivator will be wary of this title and dare not speak out against the Sage's disciples!

This kind of prestige was the envy of everyone, including Yuan Hong.

Although he had the Chaos Pearl by his side, which could isolate him from the secrets of heaven, he was able to develop safely as much as possible.

However, without a powerful backer, that is, without substantial support, one is ultimately not very secure.

But right now, it's a good opportunity.

Although the power of the Witch Clan had been greatly diminished during the Great Lich Calamity, the remaining forces could only retreat to the underworld.

However, during this period, the Witch Clan was still quite terrifying!

Putting aside everything else, just looking at the fact that the Witch Clan monopolizes the Underworld, the fact that even the Heavenly Saints cannot interfere with the Underworld shows their formidable strength and foundation!

Its power is absolutely no weaker than that of any saint!

Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to climb up to the powerful backer of the Underworld Witch Clan?

Moreover, Yuan Hong was directly married to Houtu, so his status in the Wu tribe was at the highest level!

The attitudes of Xing Tian, ​​Chi You, and others speak for themselves.

Therefore, Yuan Hong readily agreed and, together with Xing Tian, ​​left the Chi You tribe and headed towards the underworld...

Of course, Chi You also went to the underworld with the two of them, saying that he had not returned to the Wu tribe for a long time and wanted to go back and take a look.

Incidentally, this would also better protect Yuan Hong's safety while he was on the road...

Even if something happens to them, we can't let Yuan Hong himself get hurt!

……

Xing Tian used his supernatural powers to carry Yuan Hong at an incredible speed.

Soon, they swept across the vast land, traversed the boundless sea of ​​blood, and arrived at the entrance to the underworld.

"Is this the underworld?"

Yuan Hong looked around in surprise. He saw that both the sky and the earth were almost entirely gray and dark.

The whole world was dark, filled with a yin energy that nourished the soul.

Souls gathered from all corners of the primordial world and, guided by the laws of heaven and earth, flowed into the underworld.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a woman in white appeared before them, with a beautiful and dignified appearance and an extremely noble demeanor.

"Your Majesty Pingxin!"

Xing Tian and Chi You respectfully greeted her, saying, "This is Pingxin Niangniang, one of the guardians of the underworld."

"Pingxin? Houtu's benevolent corpse?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that this person was a truly top-tier individual.

Since Houtu was reincarnated, she has never shown her face. It is likely that the power of the underworld is in the hands of Pingxin and Meng Po.

Their ability to keep the methods and influence of the Heavenly Saints outside the Underworld demonstrates their immense power!

"You are the one who formed a marriage alliance with Fellow Daoist Houtu; your foundation is not weak."

Pingxin glanced at Yuan Hong, his eyes filled with a profound meaning.

With her cultivation level, she could certainly tell that Yuan Hong's background was extraordinary, but that was only in the ordinary sense.

The Ancestral Witches were already among the most outstanding beings in the world, not to mention Houtu's current status, which is blessed with the great merit of transforming reincarnation, making her even more noble than other Ancestral Witches.

Pingxin couldn't quite understand why Yuan Hong was able to form a marriage alliance with Houtu.

Of course, to be honest, Yuan Hong's physical foundation was indeed very strong, no weaker than that of the Wu Clan.

But if that's all, it's probably far from enough.

"Yuan Hong greets Lady Pingxin."

Yuan Hong said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "We should still show some respect to such a being."

"Since you are Houtu's destined partner, there's no need for us to stand on ceremony. From now on, we can address each other as brother and sister."

"Come, I'll take you to Fellow Daoist Houtu."

He smiled gently and waved his hand, taking Yuan Hong with him across a vast expanse of time and space.

In a flash, the world around Yuan Hong had changed.

He stared in awe at what lay ahead, where six incredibly deep passages, arranged in a ring, floated silently, emitting a dim glow.

The occasional glimpse of light was dazzlingly brilliant, as if it could bring all spirits to rebirth and enable all beings to reincarnate!

"The cycle of rebirth in the six realms!"

Yuan Hong blurted out that he had never seen such a shocking scene before in his life; only the Six Paths of Reincarnation could have such an aura!

Although these six paths of reincarnation do not deliberately emit any aura, they possess an unparalleled power that revolves through the heavens and shakes the world, supreme and noble, as if the essence of the primordial world has been gathered together!

"You've come..."

A gentle voice, like a spring breeze, emanated from the six realms of reincarnation, flowing into Yuan Hong's heart and bringing him back to his senses.

Then, the Six Paths of Reincarnation emitted a warm glow, which coalesced into a slender human figure in front of him.

After the light faded, the figure of a woman in a yellow dress materialized, her exquisite face tinged with compassion, her aura pure and holy, as if she were the embodiment of all that is beautiful in the world.

"Are you Houtu? Your appearance like this... won't the Heavenly Dao...?"

Yuan Hong asked softly.

In fact, through the threads of fate and the flutter in his heart, he had already been able to confirm who the other person was.

However, the other party's form of existence still puzzled him.

He knew that if Tu's special identity were to come out, he would probably be targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

"Yes, I am Houtu. This is just an avatar I have created, since my physical body was lost long ago when I entered the cycle of reincarnation."

"My primordial spirit is currently trapped in the cycle of reincarnation and cannot escape without a suitable body."

"As for the Heavenly Dao, it seems you've already guessed that the Heavenly Dao is somewhat unusual to me and the Witch Clan. No wonder it's my Daoist partner."

Houtu spoke softly, her voice like a clear spring, melodious and pleasant to the ear.

When she mentioned the word "Daoist partner," she smiled and winked, showing no disdain for Yuan Hong's low cultivation level.

The existence that can be bound to her by the red thread of fate must have something special about it!

"Um, I'm just a lowly Golden Immortal, I don't know how I came to have a connection with such an important person as you."

"It seems that fate is truly a wonderful thing."

Yuan Hong said, somewhat embarrassed.

However, since Houtu has taken the initiative to acknowledge him as his Daoist partner, he certainly won't refuse!

Otherwise, what would he be doing in the underworld?

Being Houtu's Daoist partner is a million times better than being a disciple of some saint.

As for refining the red thread of fate, since the Chaos Pearl conceals the secrets of heaven, no one can calculate it.

However, Houtu's special status in the primordial world did indeed give him some reservations.

"Although I don't know why Heaven is targeting you, is it really impossible for divine punishment to descend?"

"My small frame can't handle it..."

Yuan Hong muttered to himself.

Although the Chaos Pearl can conceal the secrets of heaven, what use is it if the Heavenly Dao can know what is happening here at all times?

Although he guessed that Houtu might have a way to resist, he still needed to confirm it, lest the Heavenly Dao directly strike him down for no reason in the future.

However, Houtu's explanation that followed surprised him greatly.
