Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

Chapter 95 The Birth of a Spiritual Treasure, A Vast Expanse of Human Writings

"Our Wu clan has no primordial spirit, so how can a Dao heart arise?"

Li Qing did not answer, but instead raised his hand, and the Reincarnation Gourd flew out from his sleeve and hovered in his palm.

The gourd trembled slightly, and the ancient ferocious beast's reincarnation spirit within it seemed to be summoned by something, emitting a long, low groan.

Deep within the sea of ​​blood, a spiritual light that had been dormant for countless years trembled slightly, echoing the gourd of reincarnation.

"The Ancestral Witch is still unenlightened; perhaps the time is not yet ripe. My master once said that there is a spiritual treasure in the Sea of ​​Blood that I am destined to possess. Today, the time for this treasure to be born has come, hence I have come. Please wait a moment, Ancestral Witch, and watch me retrieve the treasure. Perhaps then you will naturally comprehend the destiny within!"

Li Qing was there to build the tunnel in the name of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and he could roughly guess what the supreme innate spiritual treasure that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had mentioned was.

In the primordial world, among the famous top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag among the Five Directions Five-Colored Flags has never appeared. It is said to be in the hands of the Styx Ancestor, but the Five-Colored Flags appeared around the same time, so it is unlikely that they were not yet fully formed at that time.

Of all the other magical treasures, only the Book of Life and Death is born at the perfect time!

"This is the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd that Hongyun originally possessed. It was later reforged by the Dao Ancestor. What name did Fellow Daoist Xuanqiong give it? The Reincarnation Gourd?"

Seeing Li Qing's actions, Houtu's gaze was firmly drawn to the Reincarnation Gourd, and an indescribable meaning flashed in her eyes.

As the gourd of reincarnation rose, the Styx Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes in the sea of ​​blood.

At this moment, he sensed an unusual aura rising from the depths of the Blood Sea, an aura he had never perceived in the Blood Sea before.

"Could it be the spiritual treasure that the Dao Ancestor spoke of back then has finally appeared?"

The Styx Ancestor suddenly stood up, his expression shifting between light and dark.

Back then, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke on Mount Tai, saying that a spiritual treasure was still being nurtured in the Blood Sea, and that Li Qing would come to take it when the time was right.

Afterwards, the Styx Ancestor searched the Blood Sea thoroughly, but still could not find any trace of that spiritual treasure.

Now that Li Qing has just arrived at the Blood Sea, the spiritual treasure has already stirred. The Styx Ancestor's face grew increasingly dark, his eyes flashing with blood-red light, and the Yuan Tu and A Bi twin swords hummed in their sheaths.

"With the Tongtian Sect Leader taken away, the Jie Sect currently has no sage to back up this Xuanqiong fellow. I, the patriarch, suffered such a great loss at the hands of the Tongtian Sect Leader because of him. Am I really going to let him easily take away my Blood Sea Treasure and split my Blood Sea's fortune again?"

The more Styx Ancestor thought about it, the angrier he became. But then he remembered the two Western Saints' previous attempts to curry favor with him, which emboldened him.

The sea of ​​blood churned slightly, instantly attracting the attention of several people nearby.

Then the sea of ​​blood began to surge, with towering waves of blood everywhere and water columns shooting out in all directions, as if a vicious dragon was rolling on the seabed, stirring up storms.

"Um?

""

Houtu sensed an overwhelming wave of malice washing over her.

"The Styx Ancestor?"

Seeing that Li Qing had a special opportunity, Houtu was determined not to let the Styx River cause trouble!

"Hmph, haven't you heard the saying 'water can be dammed with earth'? With me here, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Houtu raised her hand and clenched it, and boundless earth energy surged forth. The Nine Heavens Earth Dragons roared to the sky and formed a formation above the sea of ​​blood.

"The Ancestral Witch Houtu? She only met Xuanqiong by chance before the Sea of ​​Blood, yet she's willing to stand up for him?"

When Styx Ancestor saw Houtu's actions, he paused for a moment. The physical body of the Ancestral Witch was comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint. Although the Law of Earth was suppressed in his Sea of ​​Blood, it was still enough to make Styx Ancestor wary.

Moreover, the Ancestral Witches were all madmen whom he, a cultivator of the primordial spirit path, could not comprehend.

If Houtu is offended today, I'm afraid the Twelve Ancestral Witches will form the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation and summon Pangu to strike him down!

"Fine, I won't stoop to your level, you unreasonable lunatics!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the Styx Ancestor sat back on the bone throne and closed his eyes.

Even if it were Taiyi who came to stand up for Li Qing today, he would still dare to fight for it, after all, the demon race still has reason.

But the Wu Clan is out of the question. No matter how good that magical treasure is, it's not worth risking your life to see if the Second Ancestral Witch is rational.

"If we don't act now, when will we?"

Seeing the sea of ​​blood return to calm, Li Qing let out a long shout. Deep within the sea of ​​blood, the spiritual light that had been dormant for countless years suddenly trembled under the pull of the gourd of reincarnation.

In an instant, the entire sea of ​​blood boiled once more.

Countless souls, drowning at the bottom of the sea of ​​blood, seemed to sense something, and they all looked up and let out silent wails, as if drowning people had seen the shore.

The gourd of reincarnation opened on its own, and a deep, clear light gushed out, shooting straight into the depths of the sea of ​​blood.

Wherever the light passed, the viscous blood water automatically separated, revealing a dark area on the seabed that no one had ever set foot in before.

"This is----"

Houtu involuntarily took a step forward.

Where the sea of ​​blood parted, a thin booklet slowly rose.

The booklet's cover was jet black, with countless fine innate divine patterns flowing across its surface.

Each divine rune flickers and changes, as if recording the birth and death, coming and going of all living beings in the world, seamlessly integrated with the entire world, as if it has been sleeping here since the beginning of time, just waiting for this day to arrive.

Beside the booklet, a judge's pen floats silently. The pen handle is entirely black, while the tip is as white as the moon. It represents yin and yang, life and death, and is inextricably linked to the life and death of the person writing it.

The Book of Life and Death, the Judge's Pen.

Although he hadn't obtained them yet, the names of these two spiritual treasures had already taken root in Li Qing's mind.

He gestured, and the book and the judge's pen transformed into two streaks of black and white light, falling into his palm. As soon as he held the book, a chilling, deathly aura surged into his body through his palm.

The moment the Book of Man was born, the entire Sea of ​​Blood began to tremble. The souls that had been sinking into the Sea of ​​Blood stopped wailing and struggling, and all drifted toward the Book of Man.

However, although the Book of Man contains the laws of life and death, it is ultimately just a spiritual treasure that can only record life and death, but cannot provide a place for these souls to return to.

Those spirits hovered around the book, but could never enter it.

Houtu stared blankly at this scene, seeing the confusion of the souls in the sea of ​​blood.

In their previous lives, they may have been humans from a certain tribe, demons from a certain mountain, or shamans from a certain shaman tribe.

They each had their own way of living and their own way of dying, but after death, their souls all came to this sea of ​​blood, and then slowly dissipated into nothingness over endless years.

There is no reincarnation in the universe, and living beings have nowhere to go after they die. This is the flaw in the primordial world.

"I see, I see! Since there is a deficiency, someone must fill it. This is my responsibility, this is my path!"

The confusion in Houtu's eyes gradually dissipated, and the fog that had originally shrouded her heart could no longer prevent her from comprehending the Great Dao of herself!
