"You can rest assured, she won't suffer if she joins the Tongtian Sect. Such a talent should be carefully nurtured, rather than wasting time on collecting cultivation resources."

Houtu was also considering the future of the Pangu Realm. She needed to cultivate more Dao Lords, otherwise, relying on these few dozen Dao Lords, they would eventually run out of successors to face the ever-increasing challenges in the chaos.

After all, the Pangu Realm is expanding every moment. Although their strength is also increasing, they are still very tired. They don't want to be stretched thin in the future.

Lin Zhu had no objection to Houtu's decision, saying, "I will leave it to Your Majesty's arrangement."

"Okay! I'll contact Tongtian right away." With that, she sent a beam of golden light towards the depths of the East Sea.

The next instant, the avatar of the Tongtian Sect Leader appeared within the Samsara Light Barrier, bowed to Houtu, and asked, "May I ask why Your Majesty summoned Tongtian here?"

Houtu said, "I have some good news for you."

"Oh!" Tongtian hadn't expected Houtu to have come to him with good news. He turned to Lin Zhu, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Do you want me to take this little fellow as my disciple?"

After learning about Lin Zhu's talent, he felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea to take on another disciple.

"Dream on, little bamboo belongs to my underworld." Houtu rolled her eyes.

Lin Zhu cupped his hands in greeting, "Lin Zhu greets the Heavenly Venerable."

"Hmm!" Although Houtu rejected him, Tongtian still admired Lin Zhu. "You're quite good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Heavenly Venerable," Lin Zhu replied, and then fell silent.

Tongtian looked at Houtu and said, "Please speak plainly, Your Majesty."

"I'll introduce you to a disciple, see if you want him." Houtu got straight to the point, casting a Xuan Guang Mirror forward to reveal A Qing.

Tongtian immediately recognized Aqing's cultivation level and swordsmanship.

"Who is this woman? She has actually grasped the basics of swordsmanship while still in the True Immortal Realm! Good, very good!"

Tongtian was clearly very satisfied. As the master of Xuanji Dao, the master of Zhen Dao, and the master of Jian Dao, he had long wanted to remove two of the Dao masters.

The only concern was that the sword path had been proven, and if there was no Dao Lord to suppress it, the Pangu Realm would suffer some damage, which is why they barely maintained three paths.

You know, this is also very tiring.

As for why it is necessary to prove the three paths, one is to stabilize the Great Dao of Pangu Realm and make it more orderly;

Secondly, with each proof, one's cultivation level will increase by one point;

Third, once you've paved a path, it's like expanding it further, making it easier for others to follow.

The first Dao Master is the one who opens the way, but the Dao Master can also be a successor.

As the saying goes, talents emerge in every generation, so the Pangu Realm should be a place where all kinds of flowers bloom.

Tongtian regrets that none of his disciples are willing to inherit the way of the sword.

There are quite a few who are skilled in array formations, but Yunxiao is the most outstanding.

However, during the Investiture of the Gods, Yunxiao was killed by Yuanshi.

It made him wish he could kill Yun Zhongzi as well.

Although Yunxiao regained his physical body thanks to Nuwa's intervention, it's unknown when he will be able to restore his cultivation level.

Now, A Qing, Dugu Jian, and Dugu Sheng are all practicing pure swordsmanship, and their talents are so high. Their appearance has given Tongtian hope for the future of swordsmanship.

Of these three, one of them, after cultivating to the end, will be able to challenge me, the master of the sword path.

At that time, as long as I don't interfere, the probability of being knocked down is still very high.

"This woman is named Aqing, and she is from the same hometown as Xiaozhu. Are you satisfied?" Houtu looked at Tongtian, her tone very calm.

Tongtian nodded, "Very good, I owe the Empress and this little fellow a favor."

Houtu said rather bluntly, "Just bring out a set of array flags and an array diagram. As for personal favors, they're not that important."

Tongtian is overjoyed, this is wonderful.

He immediately took out a set of formations and handed it to Lin Zhu, saying, "Young friend, this is the Hunyuan Ruyi Grand Formation. Please keep it safe."

Lin Zhu reached out and took it, saying, "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."

The Hunyuan Ruyi Grand Array can be created by people or by weapons; it can be a sword array, a killing array, an illusion array, a bewildering array, a trapping array, and so on...

If an innate spiritual treasure is placed at the core of the formation, an innate grand formation can be formed, which cannot be broken by anyone below the Hunyuan realm.

After Tongtian gave him the formation, Houtu also told him where Aqing was, "I don't need to take you there, right?"

"Of course." Tongtian nodded with a smile. "Tongtian will take his leave now."

After saying that, his figure disappeared and then appeared outside Phoenix City, transforming into a young man who blocked A Qing's way of going hunting.

Looking at Tongtian blocking her way, Aqing felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. She clasped her hands in a fist and asked, "I wonder why you are blocking my path, fellow traveler?"

Without saying a word, Tongtian used his finger as a sword and unleashed a powerful Heaven-Slaying Sword Dao towards Aqing.

Aqing instantly drew her sword and attacked Tongtian with her own swordsmanship. The attack was extremely smooth and she was not affected by the Jietian Sword Dao at all.

This is because Tongtian only uses swordsmanship at the same level as Aqing.

The two exchanged blows, and sword marks began to appear on the surrounding ground, but they were not caused by sword energy, but by sword intent.

In terms of swordsmanship, Lin Zhu is much worse than A Qing.

After all, he doesn't purely practice swordsmanship.

After hundreds of rounds, Tongtian stopped and looked at Aqing with admiration, "Not bad, really not bad."

Ah Qing realized that she was no match for the person in front of her, and that his previous attack was more like a test. So she put her sword away.

"Ah Qing greets senior. May I ask why senior is testing this junior?"

A flash of azure light appeared on Tongtian's body, revealing his true form. "I am Tongtian, young friend. Have you heard of me?"

"The Master of the Heavenly Cult? The Master of the Sword Dao?"

A sudden burst of sword intent erupted from A Qing's body.

Upon seeing this, Tongtian was not surprised but delighted, "Good, very good!"

Only then did he realize that Lin Zhu's daring to draw his sword against him was nothing compared to this person who was now openly challenging his position as the Sword Dao Master.

"You are quite good, truly quite good. I would like to take you as my disciple, what do you think?"

That was Ah Qing's subconscious reaction. After coming to her senses, she realized that she had been overestimating herself.

Seeing that Tongtian wanted to take her as a disciple, she readily bowed and said, "Disciple Aqing greets Master."

"Hahaha! Good!" The Tongtian Sect Leader was very pleased. "Would you like to return to Biyou Palace with your master?"

“This disciple is willing. However, this disciple currently has duties in Phoenix City, and must bid farewell to the city lord before leaving.”

Aqing was unwilling to leave without saying goodbye.

Tongtian readily agreed, since there was no rush.

Inside the Moon Lake Cave, within the Reincarnation Light Barrier, Houtu asked, "Besides this Aqing, is there anyone else you can introduce?"

Lin Zhu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure either, but Your Highness can give it a try."

Seeing that there was hope, Houtu said, "Tell me."

Chapter 768 The Underworld Gains a Talent

After thinking carefully, Lin Zhu said, "Your Majesty can go find someone named Wu Wudi, but I don't know if he has been beaten to death."

After all, the name Wu Wudi was fine in the Divine Continent, but it became somewhat dangerous in the Chenxuan Realm.

If they were to reach the Pangu Realm, the danger would increase exponentially, and Lin Zhu wasn't even sure if Wu Wudi was still alive.

If he were alive, he would have arrived in Pangu Realm a few years earlier than Aqing.

Houtu understood what Lin Zhu meant and said with a smile, "This name is indeed somewhat dangerous. I'll look for it. But if it's already dead, then it means it's not very valuable."

Lin Zhu said he understood. If Wu Wudi was dead, it would prove that he had no luck, so there was no need to try to rescue him.

The power of reincarnation was activated once again, passing through the Pangu Realm quite subtly.

They then identified a powerful martial artist who was fighting against the ferocious beast Feng Xi in the wilderness and the realm of law.

The warrior was burly and powerful, with exceptionally strong qi and blood. He was surrounded by five weapons: a knife, a sword, a spear, a staff, and a halberd.

"Heavenly Devourer Shatters the Sun!"

With a roar, his figure instantly multiplied into ten, each a true martial arts body, not a fake one.

One man wields a sword and thrusts upwards, another slashes with a knife, one thrusts horizontally with a spear, one stabs upwards with a stick, one swings a halberd with wide, sweeping movements, one punches with the force to break through ten thousand troops, one pushes with a palm that shakes mountains and rivers, one breaks through heaven and earth with a single finger, one captures a dragon with two claws, and one kicks a tiger with two legs.

The ten figures quickly merged into one, forming an immense power that transformed into a sky-blue sword tiger. Its roar shook the heavens as it charged towards Feng Xi.

Even Houtu was amazed by this move.

Lin Zhu saw the smile on her face, clearly indicating that she was satisfied with Wu Wudi.

The Sword Tiger Devours the Sky and Shatters the Sun, and the power it unleashed even stunned Feng Xi for a moment. By the time Feng Xi regained his senses and tried to resist, it was too late.

Its body was instantly torn apart by the sword tiger, leaving no flesh or blood.

Wu Wudi revealed his true form and appeared behind Feng Xi.

Looking back, Feng Xi was left with only a demon core floating in the air, and his primordial spirit had vanished into nothingness.

Looking at the demon core, Wu Wudi sighed, "Sigh, I couldn't control it again, I still have to train it." With that, he reached out and picked up the demon core, putting it into his storage bag.

Houtu nodded, "That's right. To comprehend the laws of power at the Xuanxian realm and defeat a demon beast at the Law realm, in some ways, he is even a bit better than you."

Lin Zhu did not refute Hou Tu's praise. He had also seen Wu Wudi's move, which was clearly Wu Wudi's own creation.

"What does Your Majesty think of this person?"

Houtu was naturally quite satisfied. "Not bad, you deserve credit. I'll take this person to the underworld right away. Such talent shouldn't be wasted, nor should it be given to others."

Wu Wudi is not a sword cultivator, but a pure martial arts cultivator with extremely high talent and a firm martial arts will. The sword tiger is his true martial arts form.

It is called Sword Tiger, but it is actually a product of martial arts combined with the laws of power, not a sword technique.

He and Xing Tian followed the same path, but the difference was that Xing Tian had a stronger physique, while Wu Wudi had higher comprehension.

The Heavenless Sword Tiger Technique had consumed too much of Wu Wudi's spiritual power, so he was sitting cross-legged, absorbing innate spiritual energy to recover.

He didn't even spare the innate evil energy, circulating it throughout his body to temper his physique before refining it into five weapons.
