Chapter 144 Retreating to Advance
Just as Master Tongtian said, the Witch Clan has dominated the ancient world for billions of years, destroyed countless races, and accumulated treasures that are absolutely beyond everyone's imagination.

Therefore, Han Yi naturally had to ask Hou Tu for some benefits.

His eyes kept wandering on Pangu Palace behind Hou Tu, and he did not hide his greed at all.

If we were to ask where the treasures accumulated by the Witch Clan are most likely to be hidden, it would be this temple in front of us that gave birth to the Witch Clan and suppressed its luck!
Hou Tu was silent for a moment, then her mind moved slightly. Two transparent law seeds flew out from the blood pool. Countless divine lights gathered in front of her, condensing into a purple law seed. She said, "Those two law seeds are from Emperor Jiang, the ancestor of space, and Zhu Jiuyin, the ancestor of time. Their understanding of the avenue of space and the avenue of time should be the most suitable for you!"

"As for the Dao Seed that I condensed, it is my understanding of the Great Dao of Reincarnation over the years!"

"I can see that you seem to have comprehended the Great Dao of Reincarnation. You want to use the Great Dao of Innate Spacetime as a foundation, and then use the Great Dao of Innate Reincarnation to connect the Innate Five Virtues and the Innate Five Lucks, so as to build your own reincarnation system! These three law seeds should be able to help you quickly complete your understanding of the Great Dao!"

"It's not that I don't want to give you the innate spiritual treasure, but in my current state, I can't open the Pangu Palace at all. I can only rely on the blood pool to survive!"

"and……"

"Most of the innate spiritual treasures collected by my Wu clan were snatched from the demon clan, and they are tainted with monstrous karma. If you sacrifice them, people will inevitably think of the Wu clan! This is not a good thing for you! After all... in such a vast prehistoric world, there are probably many who covet my Wu clan's heritage!"

Han Yi nodded immediately after hearing this.

Then, with a slight movement of his mind, he circulated his magic power and collected the three seeds of laws.

What Hou Tu said did make some sense. Things like the three seeds of laws and Taoism that could quickly help him improve his strength were the most suitable for him.

but……

Now that Hou Tu asked him for help, he naturally wanted more benefits.

Thinking of this, he discussed with Master Tongtian and spoke again: "However, this can only be regarded as a deposit. After the Ancestral Witch recovers to his peak, I will need three more innate spiritual treasures! In addition, my ability is not enough to help the Ancestral Witch out of trouble. I also need the help of my teacher! My teacher also wants a reward!"

"Tongtian?" Hou Tu frowned and asked, "What conditions does he want?"

Although she is now just a remnant of soul, her eyesight is still there. In addition, because she is in Pangu Temple, the connection between Han Yi and Tongtian Sect Master cannot be hidden from her eyes.

"After the Ancestral Witch recovers to his peak, my teacher wants to enter Pangu Temple to pay homage!" Han Yi slowly spoke and stated Tongtian Sect Master's request, "My teacher is the incarnation of Pangu's primordial spirit and is also Pangu's descendant. This condition should not be too much!"

"Can!"

After some thought, although Hou Tu was very reluctant, she still agreed to the conditions of Han Yi and Tong Tian Jiaozhu: "The three innate spiritual treasures are not a problem, but the existence of Pangu Palace cannot be known to other beings!"

"It's natural!"

Han Yi nodded and agreed immediately.

The Wu Clan is a wealthy and powerful family. The three innate spiritual treasures are not something that cannot be separated from them. Only the Pangu Palace in front of them is related to the survival and prosperity of the Wu Clan, and it cannot fall into the hands of others.

Seeing that both parties reached an agreement, the Qingping Sword in Han Yi's hand suddenly burst into a different kind of brilliance, and the figure of Tongtian Sect Master slowly emerged from it.

As the treasure of Tongtian Patriarch's enlightenment, the Qingping Sword is far from comparable to ordinary innate spiritual treasures. As the power of Tongtian Patriarch continues to descend here, this top-grade innate spiritual treasure suddenly reveals its supreme edge, faintly outlining the true meaning of the great way, as if it can even cut off time and space, cause and effect, and fate.

"Qiang!"

The sword slashed towards the nothingness in the dark, and the entire underworld shook, and the Forgotten River seemed to boil, causing huge waves.

The power of life and death reversed in an instant, and an extreme vitality suddenly erupted in the underworld, causing white bones to grow flesh and dead trees to come back to life, and countless ghost immortals and cultivators were all astonished.

The breath of Lady Pingxin began to revive and transformed into a gigantic statue of a deity. The statue revealed six hands, stabilizing the shaken underworld.

Tongtian Patriarch seized the opportunity to send a message: "Quick! Put the drop of blood that carries Hou Tu's soul into the Kunlun Mirror, and then use its power to move time and space to quickly return to your cave!"

"it is good!"

Han Yi did as he was told immediately, and the Kunlun Mirror flew out from the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows. A vast force of time and space instantly turned into a stream of light that enveloped Hou Tu.

Then, the three levels of Dao Fruit vibrated together, and endless magic power poured into this top-grade innate spiritual treasure. An invisible force crossed the endless space and blessed Han Yi, allowing him to sense the coordinates of the prehistoric world and the true ascension to Xuanhuatian at the origin of life and death.

boom!
A mysterious long river that seemed real and unreal suddenly emerged, flashing with mysterious light, stretching across endless time and space, and forcibly helped Han Yi escape from the origin of life and death.

But the turmoil in the netherworld shocked several saints. No matter it was Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, or the two saints from the West, they all sent a vast divine thought, intending to ask Niangniang Pingxin.

however……

Ping Xin had no intention of explaining at all. After calming down the turmoil in the underworld, he dispersed his Dharma image and went straight back to the depths of the six realms of reincarnation.

"This……"

Several saints were about to speak, but after seeing this scene, they had to give up.

They understood that something must have happened in the depths of the underworld that they were not aware of, but Pingxin was unwilling to speak, so they had no way of knowing the details.

therefore……

They could only issue a decree and arrange for their disciples in the underworld to investigate what had caused the turmoil in the Netherworld.

"Hou Tu, is this your choice?" Ping Xin, who returned to the depths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, realized that the connection between himself and Hou Tu was severed, and could not help but explore: "The cycle of life and death is impermanent, and karma cannot be escaped! If you can't let go of the Wu Clan, even if you cut off the connection with me, it will be difficult to prove the true fruit of reincarnation!" Then, he continued to fall into silence.

However, before she fell silent, she issued a decree: "From now on, Cheng Tang will be ranked among the six heavens of Luofeng, and will be in charge of the Tianzhao Sinful Heavenly Palace!"

……

Shouyang Mountain.

Taiqing Laozi was the first to notice Cheng Tang, but found that he had crossed the Wangchuan River at some point and came to the Three Lives Stone, reflecting a fair mind.

"With a fair mind, Cheng Tang can already be called a saint. He deserves the position of Luofeng Liutian, and it does not violate the principle of fairness!"

"only……"

"I'm afraid that just relying on Cheng Tang alone is not enough to cause a shock to the Netherworld, right?"

"Where is the creature who fought against the underworld together with Cheng Tang?"

He had paid attention to Cheng Tang before, but not to Han Yi. Now he wanted to make some inferences, but he couldn't figure out any information about Han Yi at all.

"Fuxi!"

"Is this your handwriting?"

Taiqing Laozi's eyes were deep and he couldn't help but murmur.

Fuxi, who was far away in the Huoyun Cave, was also alarmed by the shaking in the underworld.

but……

He hadn't noticed that he was now being blamed.

"Cheng Tang became one of the six gods of Luofeng. Our race can have a little more say in the netherworld. This is a good thing!"

Fuxi spoke calmly.

Shen Nong echoed, "Yes! I just hope he can keep his original intention and not indulge in the vortex of power like Xia Qi!"

Xuanyuan nodded and laughed, "What are you afraid of? Don't we still have the Dating clan? Even if Fengdu abdicates, the power of the netherworld should be inherited by the Dating clan! As for Cheng Tang, he should keep a low profile for the time being and improve his cultivation so that he can carry out his plan and establish a complete currency system in the underworld!"

The underworld is the abode of living beings after death. If one can master the power therein, one can ensure the prosperity of the race and produce generations of heroes.

The same is true of the sage tradition.

If one could know where those creatures with great fortune or excellent roots are, one could take the lead and accept them into one's family.

This is also the reason why forces such as the Chan Sect and the Western Sect are plotting to gain control of the underworld.

It's Jiejiao...

Because of the principle of teaching everyone, people don’t really care about the authority of the underworld.

As for the Human Sect, since it had only one direct disciple, Xuandu, and because Fengdu, the incarnation created by Xuandu through the Supreme Forgetfulness Method, had already gained control of the underworld, it did not continue to make arrangements in the underworld.

At present, the human race occupies half of the seats in the six heavens of Luofeng, but has surpassed the Chan Sect and the Western Sect in terms of the right to speak in the underworld.

Xuanyuan sighed and said, "If Dayu was willing to take over the position of the leader of the human world, why would he have gone through so much trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi comforted him, "Everyone has their own aspirations, so there is no need to force them! If Dayu took over the authority of the human world, I'm afraid those saints would not be happy!"

"That's true!"

Shennong showed a hint of approval.

The current situation of the prehistoric world was achieved through constant compromise. If one party is too strong, it will inevitably be targeted by other forces.

Therefore, even though they had agreed to seal the Fire Cloud Cave by themselves as agreed by the Three Purities due to a wrong move in the chess game, Fuxi and the others did not have much resentment in their hearts.

It is not a good thing for the human race to be too aggressive.

Just be more restrained!

Xuanyuan suddenly had an idea and said, "Do you think that Tongtian Patriarch's recent actions are also intended to reduce the momentum of Jiejiao?"

"That's a possibility!" Fuxi looked at the endless void and said in a deep voice: "Due to the heavenly calamity, Jiejiao suffered the greatest loss among the several saintly sects! And the Heavenly Court has begun to show its prominence during this period! And the struggle between the Asura Sect and the Western Sect has overshadowed Jiejiao's momentum!"

What goes up must come down!

Just like playing chess, sometimes retreating to advance may not be a bad move.
