Chapter 309: Chapter 281 [Kunyu Treasure Mirror, Hunting Demon God] (Seeking Subscription)

Netherworld.

Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Zhen Yuanzi, the four Earth Dao Saints, gathered together. In addition, there were several Ancestor Witches like Qiang Liang, Xi Zi, and Xuanming.

Jieyin Daoist spoke first, "Houtu Daoist, why have you summoned us here?"

He and Zhunti were both reluctant to be in the same room as Zhen Yuanzi. Although they were all Earth Dao Saints, they had indeed schemed against Ancestor Hong Yun in the past.

Even though they belonged to the Earth Dao camp, Zhen Yuanzi did not treat them kindly.

"It is, of course, for the sake of the Earth Dao!"

Houtu remarked meaningfully, "The Earth Dao’s origin power is not as formidable as the Heavenly Dao, nor the Human Dao. Carrying four Saints is nearly the limit for the Earth Dao currently, and if it is to become perfect, everyone must contribute!"

Over the years, even though the Earth Dao has revived and repaired the Western earth veins, the origin lost back then cannot be replenished in a short amount of time.

Therefore, if the Earth Dao’s origin is to be strengthened, these Earth Dao Saints must figure out a way.

Otherwise, when the Earth Dao revived, why was it announced throughout the Primordial World that whoever could sacrifice enough origin would become an Earth Dao Saint?

"This..."

Zhunti Daoist frowned and said, "Both my senior brother and I wish for the Earth Dao to grow stronger, but in the world beneath the Undying Volcano and the Returning Ruins, there’s Pangu God’s mark left behind. Even the Great Immortal Yang Mei suffered greatly. Even if we want to seek the origin power to strengthen the Earth Dao, we are powerless!"

"Could it be..."

"Does Houtu Daoist have a means to dissolve Pangu God’s mark?"

You couldn’t fault Zhunti Daoist for thinking this way. Houtu claimed descent from Pangu, holding the "Pangu Hall", and the past Witch Clan’s "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array" could gather the evil qi to form the Pangu Dharma Form...

If the Witch Clan indeed had methods to circumvent Pangu’s mark, they wouldn’t be surprised!

"Not so!"

Upon hearing this, Houtu immediately shook her head, "Since Father God left a mark there to guard, there must be a reason. We would do well not to harbor intentions towards that world!"

"This time, I have invited you all to discuss dealing with those Chaos Demon Gods. The power of Great Immortal Yang Mei and Luo Hou is not something we can contend with, but for the Five Elements Demon Gods and others, we can still find a way to handle them!"

"If we can eliminate several Chaos Demon Gods and sacrifice their origin to the Earth Dao, perfecting the Earth Dao wouldn’t be a difficult task!"

Jieyin Daoist was somewhat helpless, sighing, "Houtu Daoist’s idea is naturally excellent! However, among us four Earth Dao Saints, only you, Houtu Daoist, have achieved the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit! Without the support of Earth Dao’s origin power, how could we possibly deal with those Chaos Demon Gods?"

If it were in the Primordial World, he naturally wouldn’t fear those Chaos Demon Gods. But in Chaos, he wouldn’t be a match against the Chaos Demon Gods.

He was quite aware of his capabilities.

"Then how about luring them into the Primordial World?" Houtu’s gaze was intense as she looked at Jieyin Daoist, "Jieyin Daoist, you’re about to prove your Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, aren’t you? Why hide your strength from us?"

"Besides, we’re not the only few Earth Dao Saints in the Primordial World. By promising benefits, we can even attract a couple of Heavenly and Earth Dao Saints!"

"Luo Hou’s Demon Path also requires the Great Dao of the Chaos Demon Gods as resources, and even that Great Immortal Yang Mei is someone we can consider pulling in!"

Houtu naturally didn’t plan to rely solely on them, the few Earth Dao Saints, to hunt Chaos Demon Gods; she was merely initiating a discussion ahead of time.

Zhen Yuanzi furrowed his brow slightly, nodding in agreement with Houtu’s idea, "So, which Daoist friends does Houtu Daoist plan to invite for cooperation?"

Houtu looked helplessly at Zhen Yuanzi and said, "The Three Pure Ones, Tai Xuan, and Nuwa have deep ties with the Heavenly Dao; they are not suitable partners for alliance. In my view, Xuanqing Daoist, Luo Hou Daoist, and the two Saints from the Human Dao camp are the best allies!"

"In addition, Yuan Feng is also worth engaging. Though she now has the backing of Great Immortal Yang Mei, she is, after all, a being nurtured by the Primordial World!"

"Even if she achieves the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal and disdains the Earth Dao Saint Fruit Position, the Phoenix Clan must still have such needs!"

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi replied in a huff, "If that’s the case, why not just find those partners yourself, Daoist, without involving this humble one?"

Hong Yun’s demise, apart from Jieyin and Zhunti’s indifference, had much to do with Demon Emperor Jun, Kunpeng, and Minghe. They all were involved in the siege of Hong Yun Daoist.

To ask Zhen Yuanzi to work with Kunpeng, he naturally was unwilling, and none of his disciples currently had the potential to attain sainthood.

He evidently had no desire to participate in this matter.

Houtu, aware of Zhen Yuanzi’s grudges against Kunpeng, couldn’t help but feel a headache.

The Witch Clan’s great array excelled in attack but lacked transformation capabilities. To momentarily trap several Chaos Demon Gods, the reliance on Zhen Yuanzi’s "Earth Book Array" was necessary.

This was why she had brought Zhen Yuanzi to discuss this matter.

Without Zhen Yuanzi, even if she successfully persuaded Luo Hou, Yuan Feng, Kunpeng, Xuanqing, and others, the plan to besiege the Chaos Demon Gods might fail.

After all...

The Chaos Demon Gods aren’t fools; even if they can’t win, can’t they still escape?

"Please wait, Daoist!"

Seeing Zhen Yuanzi preparing to leave, Houtu hurriedly pleaded, "If we want to trap the Chaos Demon Gods, your Earth Book Array is crucial. For the sake of the Earth Dao, please lend us a helping hand!"

Zhen Yuanzi turned around with a helpless expression, "The Heavenly Dao fears completeness, and the Human Dao fears fullness! I suppose the Earth Dao is the same as the Heavenly and Human Dao! Daoist Houtu, why must the Earth Dao be perfect?"

He dislikes conflict, and the Divine Skills he cultivates aren’t suited for combat. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, he truly doesn’t want to get involved in this matter.

"Perfection is perfection; growing stronger is growing stronger. Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you are also an Earth Dao Saint, do you wish to see the Earth Dao oppressed by the Heavenly Dao?"

"Moreover, the Human Dao is now rising, with Kunpeng and Fu Xi both becoming Saints. Our Earth Dao can’t remain stagnant!"

Houtu spoke earnestly.

But seeing Zhen Yuanzi unmoved, she was very troubled and had to entice him with a benefit: "Actually, deep within the Earth Dao’s origin, there’s an Innate Treasure left by the previous Lord of Earth Dao! If you help me hunt enough Chaos Demon Gods to replenish the Earth Dao’s origin, after I successfully achieve Harmonization, I can give that Innate Treasure to you to wield!"

"What?"

Before Zhen Yuanzi could speak, Zhunti Daoist couldn’t sit still once he heard: "Innate Treasure? And the previous Lord of Earth Dao? Daoist Houtu, we are also Earth Dao Saints, you can’t favor one over the other!"

The Taoism teachings of the few Primordial Saints only have their Buddhist Sect, without a Supreme Treasure to stabilize their fate, they are exceptionally eager for an Innate Treasure.

Now, Houtu tells them that the Earth Dao has an Innate Treasure?

As for the matter of Harmonization, it was subconsciously disregarded by him. Harmonization is not so simple; they too are plotting the matter of Harmonization!

However, the Earth Dao is very wary of them, who switched sides from the Heavenly Dao Camp, and is unwilling to establish deep connections with them!

Thus, up to now, there hasn’t been any progress in the matter of Harmonization.

Houtu, as the first Earth Dao Saint, and a descendant of Pangu, favored by the Earth Dao’s will, had already been anticipated by them in their hearts.

The matter of Harmonization, whether successful or not, they wouldn’t be obsessed.

But the Innate Treasure...

They truly want it!

Zhunti Daoist immediately spoke, "Daoist Houtu, our Buddhist Sect also has the Ten Thousand Buddha Array, which can even temporarily trap Saints. Why don’t my senior brother and I handle trapping the Chaos Demon Gods?"

At this moment, Zhunti Daoist couldn’t care about anything else; he directly cast aside his face just for the Innate Treasure mentioned by Houtu.

Jieyin Daoist was much calmer: "Daoist Houtu, could you clarify? What’s the matter with the previous Lord of Earth Dao? We are also Earth Dao Saints, there’s no need to hide Earth Dao’s secrets from us, right?"

Seeing their excitement, Houtu immediately explained: "In fact, I also learned about this after recently establishing a deeper connection with the Earth Dao from its will. Before the Longhan Calamity, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Paths of the Primordial World once briefly awakened!"

"At that time, there were three Innate Gods wielding the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Paths: Cangli held the Heavenly Dao, Yuejian held the Earth Dao, and Jiutou held the Human Dao... But at that time, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Paths were too weak. To make the Three Paths quickly grow stronger, the three chose to incarnate into the Dao!"

"This process was actually the self-evolution of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Paths. Both the Earth and Human Dao willingly fell silent because of this!"

"However, the Heavenly Dao, before Cangli incarnated into the Dao, chose Emperor Hong as the successor!"

"That Emperor Hong became the second Master of the Heavenly Dao, and his identity is familiar to you all; he was the former self of the Daoist Ancestor in Purple Cloud Palace!"

Houtu revealed many secrets of the Divine Dao Era, finally looking at everyone with deep meaning: "That Daoist Ancestor in Purple Cloud Palace obtained the full authority of the Primordial Heavenly Dao long ago! Yet now, he deceives the Primordial Saints by claiming to be one with the Heavenly Dao; there must be deep plans!"

"Even if it’s for self-preservation, we must strengthen the Earth Dao, otherwise, in front of that Daoist Ancestor, we won’t have any means of resistance!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi’s expression turned solemn, and he finally nodded: "I understand! Count me in for this hunting plan against the Chaos Demon Gods!"

He also knows that the fall of Ancestor Hong Yun, although related to Jieyin, Zhunti, Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Kunpeng, and Minghe, the Daoist Ancestor was the origin of all causality.

Without that "Hongmeng Purple Qi," how would Hong Yun have suffered encirclement by Emperor Jun and others?

"Good!"

Houtu immediately nodded in satisfaction and then took out an item from her sleeve: "This Innate Treasure accompanies the previous Earth Emperor, Yuejian. It’s named Kunyu Treasure Mirror, which can not only control the Primordial Earth Veins but also utilize the Water Veins and Fire Veins of the Primordial World, with the mystical ability to command Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind!"

"This Innate Treasure shares similarities with your Earth Book, but its power surpasses the Earth Book by far!"

"For now, I’ll entrust it to you to wield!"

Houtu knows that only in Zhen Yuanzi’s hands can this treasure’s full power be unleashed, possibly fully activating the strength of the "Earth Book Array" to temporarily trap those Chaos Demon Gods.

Thus, handing this Innate Treasure to Zhen Yuanzi, her eyes showed not a hint of reluctance.
