Chapter 168: Witch Cult, established!

In the temple of Buzhou Mountain, Hou Tu is located at the top, while the five saints, Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jie Yin Taoist and Zhunti Taoist, are sitting in the front. Then, in order of their cultivation, there are many famous masters with great supernatural powers, as well as various Daluo Jinxian cultivators!
After closing the temple door, Han Yi and Zhi Yi found a seat on the edge and sat down.

He took a rough glance around and found that after the great calamity between the wizards and the liches, the number of Daluo Jinxian and people with great supernatural powers, although not as many as the three thousand people who were preached by the Taoist ancestor Hongjun in the Zixiao Palace in the past, was still close to a thousand.

"This flooded water is deeper than I thought!"

Han Yi pondered in his heart, if it didn't involve the true saint's status, some old antiques would probably only appear in the prehistoric world after countless calamities.

In addition, the demon clan and the Asura clan are absent. The great primitive clans such as the human clan, the dragon clan, and the phoenix clan will definitely leave people to guard their own ancestral lands.

As soon as Hou Tu opened her mouth, countless purple air appeared, fairy music sounded, and thousands of rays of light and auspicious colors appeared, interpreting the mystery of reincarnation in the void.

Billions of golden lotuses fell from the void, and the power of order combined with the mysterious yellow energy surging from the ground, transforming into extremely pure reincarnation essence.

The practitioners in Mount Buzhou manifested the three flowers of their primordial spirits and various auspicious clouds, evolved the true scriptures of Taoism, and absorbed the essence of reincarnation in the void.

Han Yi also followed suit.

He had previously received a reincarnation seed bestowed by Houtu. At this moment, he felt the boundless reincarnation potential, which immediately took root in his soul.

Amidst the auspicious clouds, the Innate Five Elements Avenue and the Innate Five Virtues Avenue appeared and intertwined with the Avenue of Reincarnation, forming an immortal sacred tree that exuded a chaotic aura.

There is also the Avenue of Time and Space, which outlines endless time and space around the sacred tree, turning into a complete cycle of time and space, while the innate Yi Dao maintains the stability of time and space.

The sun rises and the moon sets, autumn brings harvest and winter brings storage, the grass and trees wither, the mountains and rivers change, and the cycle of birth and death of all things are all included in it, explaining the ultimate truth between heaven and earth in a different form.

Han Yi did not seek to understand everything, he just hoped to absorb more of the essence of reincarnation, perfect his own reincarnation system, and accumulate the foundation for his future achievement of Daluo.

The Temple of Buzhou Mountain is called a temple, but in fact it is a vast world specially opened up by Houtu. She preached in it, and not much time actually passed in the outside world.

Devi, Brahma and others did not dare to approach Mount Sumeru, for fear of encountering the saint's backup plan. So they promoted Brahmanism in the Western land, intending to take advantage of this rare opportunity to snatch believers of Western religion.

Jie Yin and Zhunti seemed to have sensed something, and a hint of worry appeared between their brows, but they had no good solution.

Hou Tu's preaching became more mysterious and obscure as it went on. Saints and people with great supernatural powers could still understand it, but those Daluo Jinxian cultivators almost lost their Tao hearts and fell into an endless cycle of reincarnation. Sometimes they laughed out loud to the sky, sometimes they cried bitterly, and sometimes they beat their chests and stamped their feet... It could be said that they behaved in a very ugly manner!
Thanks to the reincarnation seed bestowed by Houtu, Han Yi can barely maintain a clear mind and a healthy spiritual center, which is considered to be a better performance among the crowd!

As for Zhiyi...

He fell asleep while listening to the sermon, but the essence of reincarnation still fell on him involuntarily, making him feel as if he had experienced countless reincarnations. His fat face would reveal all kinds of strange expressions from time to time.

During this hundred years, Hou Tu had Xing Tian train him a lot. Under the pressure of Xing Tian's fists and feet, Zhiyi finally survived the Pure Yang Thunder Tribulation that required him to become an immortal.

Now, he is considered a true bear!

Those who were listening to the sermon could not help but be immersed in it. After an unknown amount of time, Hou Tu suddenly stopped preaching and let everyone slowly digest the mystery of reincarnation.

Zhen Yuanzi took the opportunity to ask, "May I ask, Taoist friend Hou Tu, how can one prove to be a saint?"

The expressions of many powerful people straightened up and looked over with curiosity. Even a few saints of the Heavenly Dao could not help but have a gleam of light in their eyes.

typical!

In terms of status, it is not inferior to the Heavenly Dao in any way, but it has been dormant for a long time. Except for some movements during the reincarnation in the afterlife in the past, it has never shown any clues since.

Ordinary practitioners don’t know the truth, but those with great supernatural powers, who can activate the great Dao of heaven and earth with just a slight thought, know this very well.

how...

In such a vast ancient world, Hou Tu is the only one who has received the favor of the Earth. Even if she wants to comprehend the mysteries of the Earth, she has no way to do so.

The Taoist Ancestor once said that there should be nine saints of the Heavenly Dao. He himself occupies one position, and he bestowed seven primordial purple auras that can help people prove the Dao. The remaining one represents the one that escaped in the prehistoric world. Unless the infinite calamity comes, that primordial purple aura will not be born.

The seven primordial purple auras bestowed upon us created six saints of the Heavenly Dao. The remaining one completely disappeared with the death of Hong Yun.

As a result, many great masters in the ancient times who wanted to become saints had no chance.

Now, the first complete saint has appeared in the tunnel. Naturally, many people with great supernatural powers will not remain indifferent and have all turned their attention to the tunnel.

"The Underworld is on par with the Heavenly Dao. Theoretically, there should be nine saints. However, due to the destruction of too many prehistoric earth veins during the Dragon Han Calamity and the Dao-Demon War, coupled with the collapse of Mount Buzhou, the Underworld was severely damaged, and the prehistoric foundation was weakened. It can no longer support nine Underworld saints!"

"And the reason why I was favored by the will of the earth is because I was reincarnated in the past, which was beneficial to heaven and earth and slowed down the decline of the prehistoric world!"

"According to my speculation, the current prehistoric tunnel can only support three saints at most!"

"If you want to gain the favor of the will of the earth and be granted the opportunity to become a saint, you need to have great merits for the prehistoric world to have such a slight possibility!"

Hou Tu's face was calm, and she told everyone truthfully that there were five Heavenly Dao saints here. A simple calculation would show that what she said was true. Therefore, she had no intention of hiding anything!
"Three people?"

Zhen Yuanzi frowned when he heard this.

In the prehistoric world today, Hou Tu is considered a genuine saint, and Ping Xin is actually half a saint as well, but her status is incomplete and has many limitations!

Pingxin was born because of Houtu. Although the two have now cut off their connection, it can also be said that Houtu alone occupies one and a half parts of the status of a saint.

In this case, the authentic sainthood that these great supernatural powers pursue...

In fact, there is only one!
Taoist Zhunti said directly: "May I ask Taoist Hou Tu, my senior brother and I have done our best to repair the western earth veins. Can this be considered a great merit to heaven and earth? Are we qualified... to be favored by the earth and be granted the status of a saint?"

"I have no idea!"

Hou Tu shook her head and said, “I am just a saint who has achieved the Dao, not as harmonious as Daozu, but I cannot clearly perceive the will of the Dao!”

The matter of conforming to the Dao is too dangerous. If one is not careful, one will be assimilated by the Dao and become a puppet of the Dao. Now Hou Tu, who is responsible for the rise and fall of the Wu clan, does not have the courage to take that step.

After Daoist Patriarch Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, he had not left Zixiao Palace for dozens of kalpas. It can be seen that merging with the Dao is not a simple matter.

Hou Tu didn't want to try it easily before she was sure.

According to her speculation, if the integration with the Dao fails and is eroded by the will of the earth, it will be like falling into a catastrophe of losing oneself and one will no longer be able to maintain one's original heart.

Taiqing Laozi felt a little more at ease. If there were a few more authentic saints in the prehistoric world, it would inevitably affect the interests of the entire Xuanmen.

This is not what he wants to see.

Hou Tu looked at the listeners in the hall with different expressions, and suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to inform you fellow Taoists!"

"Fellow Daoist Hou Tu, please speak!"

Master Tongtian echoed at the right time.

"A saint should teach and enlighten all living beings. I am the ancestor of the Wu clan and also a saint!" Hou Tu's eyes flashed with brilliance. Her sharp gaze swept over everyone and then landed on Master Tongtian. She smiled and said, "I plan to follow the example of Taoist friend Tongtian and establish a Wu sect. With the concept of teaching everyone without distinction, I will practice the saint's teaching and enlightenment!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked.

Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieying Taoist, and Zhunti Taoist suddenly frowned, wanting to stop Houtu from establishing this so-called witch cult.

but……

Saints have the responsibility to educate, and they have no reason to stop Hou Tu from educating all living beings.

As Hou Tu's eyes moved, she took in everyone's expressions, and then asked Tong Tian Jiaozhu: "I wonder what you think?"

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian smiled without hesitation and said, "A saint has the responsibility to educate. Fellow Taoist Hou Tu established the Wu Cult and taught everyone. This is in line with the way of heaven and is naturally very good!"

"First of all, I definitely agree!"

"Moreover, I believe that all the fellow Taoists present here will also strongly support it!"

"Right?"

Hou Tu had discussed the matter of establishing the Wu Cult with Tong Tian several decades ago. Now that Hou Tu had spoken, he naturally had to stand up and express his support.

After thinking for a moment, Jie Yin Taoist also said: "Yes, what Taoist Tong Tian said makes sense! My junior brother and I will definitely support Taoist Hou Tu!"

Anyway...

Mount Buzhou is located in the center of the prehistoric world, and the territory of the Wu clan is mostly in the east. It is Taiqing and Yuanshi who should be anxious about the establishment of Wu cult.

Taoist Jie Yin felt that if Hou Tu wanted to develop in the East and expand witchcraft, she would inevitably offend Tai Qing and Yuan Shi, so she would naturally not speak out against it.

Maybe, we can find a way to win over Hou Tu and work together to preach in the East.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not say a word, but his eyes were fixed on Tongtian Jiaozhu, wanting to ask him what the benefits of supporting Hou Tu were.
The rich land in the East has always been regarded as the private domain of the three Taoist religions, and no one is allowed to interfere. This was also the consensus reached before the Three Pure Ones separated.

Tens of thousands of immortals from the Jiejiao sect came to pay homage. If someone preached in the East, the Jiejiao sect would be the most influenced. He didn't understand why Tongtian Sect Master could remain indifferent?
Doesn’t he want luck anymore?
Doesn’t he want to strengthen the Jiejiao and let it stand proudly among the Three Realms?
Yuanshi Tianzun was puzzled.
