Chapter 263 Reincarnation Rises, Hell Emerges! Two Western Saints Covet It!
On Penglai Island, the Three Pure Ones were filled with admiration.
I had found it strange before, since Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, did not have any Primordial Purple Qi on her body, so how did she become a saint?
Now I understand. It turns out that Houtu was meant to make up for the deficiencies in heaven and earth, transforming herself into a being to enter the cycle of reincarnation and open up the underworld!
……
Western religion, Mount Sumeru.
"Oh?"
"Isn't it about attaining sainthood through enlightenment?"
"Sacrificing oneself to become a part of the cycle of reincarnation?"
"This Houtu Ancestral Witch...what a tremendous determination she has!"
Zhunti exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.
Jieyin glanced at himself and continued speaking:
"Transformation into reincarnation?"
"Doesn't this mean that the Ancestral Witch Houtu will perish?"
"In that case, the losses for the Witch Clan will be far from insignificant!"
"Besides..."
At this point, Jieyin paused slightly, then looked excitedly at Zhunti and continued:
"Junior brother."
"Since Houtu has transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, isn't the underworld she created now without a master?"
Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti immediately understood and grasped the unspoken meaning behind Jieyin's words.
……
Beyond the heavens, in the palace of Nuwa.
"So that's how it is."
"This ancestral witch Houtu is truly admirable!"
"They were actually willing to sacrifice themselves."
The sage Nuwa sighed with emotion, her gaze towards the ancestral witch Houtu filled with complex emotions, including pity and respect.
……
Meanwhile, at the location of Buzhou Mountain.
Inside the Pangu Temple, the eleven Ancestral Witches, including Dijiang, were all stunned when they heard Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, announce that she would be reincarnated in the primordial world!
Just now, they were all immersed in the joy of Houtu Zuwu's impending enlightenment and sainthood.
Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
After all, for Houtu to transform into reincarnation means sacrificing herself.
This also means that Houtu is about to perish!
"No……"
"How could this happen?"
Dijiang Zuwu muttered in astonishment, unable to believe what he was hearing.
The other ancestral witches were also astonished upon hearing this.
"What?"
"Houtu, you mustn't!"
"Why should Houtu be the one to mend the heavens and earth? She is the ancestral witch of our witch clan!"
"Houtu is so foolish!"
"..."
The ancestral witches cried out in alarm, their expressions filled with panic.
Although Houtu, the ancestral witch, transformed into a being of reincarnation and opened up the underworld, it was to benefit all living beings in the primordial world.
But for the Wu tribe, it was a tremendous loss.
In particular, without Houtu, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are missing one person, which means they cannot even activate the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.
This is a significant loss to the Wu Clan's fighting strength.
On the other side, in the Heavenly Realm of the Demon Clan, inside the Lingxiao Palace.
"Hahaha!!"
Upon seeing this, Di Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He had been very worried before.
After all, if Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, were to attain sainthood, it would be a fatal blow to the demon race.
Now we know that the ancestral witch Houtu is going to sacrifice herself and reincarnate.
In this case, the Witch Clan will lose one of its Ancestral Witches, greatly reducing its combat strength!
When Donghuang Taiyi and other high-ranking members of the demon race saw this, they were all delighted and exclaimed excitedly:
"Elder brother, truly Heaven is helping our demon race!"
"yes!"
"This Ancestral Witch Houtu brought about her own demise; after her fall, the strength of the Witch Clan was greatly diminished!"
"This is the opportunity for my demon race to sweep across the primordial world and unify heaven and earth!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"..."
The demons and gods all echoed their agreement, their faces beaming with joy.
Everyone knows what the loss of a ancestral witch means for the witch clan.
……
At this moment, the Netherworld Blood Sea is located.
The grand aspirations of Houtu resounded throughout the primordial world.
Its body suddenly exploded!
"Bang!"
A deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded.
Immediately afterwards, Houtu's majestic ancestral witch form collapsed amidst the boundless radiance of the Great Dao!
Immediately following, boundless power of creation and creation surged forth!
Its flesh and blood scattered and disappeared into the Netherworld Blood Sea below, forming the framework of the Underworld.
The fallen bones formed the continuous Yinshan mountain range.
The meridians flowed, transforming into the surging River Styx in the underworld.
Long hair spreads out, giving rise to an endless sea of spider lilies.
……
In addition, the boundless and vast ancestral witch origin of Houtu directly outlined six enormous vortexes.
The vortex slowly rotated, emanating a channel that drew in the souls and spirits of all beings in the heavens.
If it's not the six realms of reincarnation—the realm of gods, the realm of humans, the realm of asuras, the realm of animals, the realm of hungry ghosts, and the realm of hell—then what is it?
The cycle of six realms of reincarnation begins!
The Netherworld is complete!
At this moment, throughout the primordial world, especially along the shores of the Blood Sea, countless dazed and tormented souls seemed to be instantly imbued with spirituality.
In particular, the sense of calling and belonging emanating from the Six Paths of Reincarnation filled these departed souls with gratitude, causing them to instinctively prostrate themselves in worship.
At this moment, Niu Ben and the Styx Ancestor were watching this scene from the shore of the Blood Sea.
"This...this is the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Underworld?"
As he watched, the Styx Ancestor couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Compared to the shock of the Styx Ancestor, Niu Ben appeared much more composed.
After all, he had known this day would come.
"Fellow Daoist Styx".
"When the cycle of reincarnation was first established and the underworld was newly created, the order was not yet stable."
"Wait a little longer!"
Upon hearing this, the Styx Ancestor took a deep breath, his heart filled with countless emotions.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a gap appeared in the void of the Blood Sea Land.
From that gap, countless golden rays emanated, and two terrifyingly powerful auras of saints suddenly descended.
"this?"
This sudden turn of events startled the Styx Ancestor, who immediately looked up.
"Um?"
At the same time, Niu Ben frowned, not expecting that a sage would descend at this time, and there were two of them at that!
The next moment, two figures emerged from the surging golden light.
If not the two great saints of Western Buddhism, Jieyin and Zhunti, then who are they?
"Greetings, Saint!"
Upon seeing this, the Styx Ancestor immediately bowed deeply.
Niu Ben frowned slightly but did not bow to the two saints.
He knew very well that the arrival of these two saints from the Western Sect in the Netherworld Blood Sea at this time was definitely not a friendly move.
After all, these two are only interested in personal gain.
After a slight pause, Niu Ben asked, neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"What brings these two Western sages here?"
"snort!"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's question, the Sage Zhunti coldly snorted:
"This is a land of compassion; it should have a connection with the West!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben's expression changed. He had indeed guessed correctly. These two saints from the Western Sect were after the newly established authority over the Underworld!
Before any reply could be given, the Sage of Guidance smiled compassionately and said:
"Young friend Niu Ben."
"This underworld is the embodiment of Fellow Daoist Houtu, and it is a land without an owner."
"To govern the primordial cycle of reincarnation is of paramount importance, concerning the well-being of all living beings."
"How can such an important place be left unattended? Our Western teachings emphasize compassion and salvation, and it is fitting that we take charge of this place of reincarnation, guide all beings toward goodness, and help them ascend to the Pure Land as soon as possible."
