When Houtu attained the Dao, a surging Aura erupted, which, compared to the Saints' attainment of the Dao, had fewer flashy phenomena, but its power was far greater than that of the Saints.
After all, although both sides attained the Dao through Karma, the Saints' Karma was Heavenly Dao Karma, while Houtu's was Great Dao Karma.
This was a difference in grade.
Even the Three Pure Ones, who possessed some Karma from the creation of the world, which also belonged to Great Dao Karma, still could not compare to Houtu.
Because Houtu had fused pangu primordial spirit and pangu essence blood, and while attaining the Dao, she also transformed into a small Pangu.
At this moment, Houtu not only attained the Dao as a Celestial Venerable Da Luo, but her Physical Body also surpassed her original Ancestral Witch true body.
It was almost comparable to an innate supreme treasure! Her Physical Body also attained the Dao.
Given this, how could the Three Pure Ones compare to Houtu?
And at this moment, just as Houtu was attaining the Dao, Celestial Daoist also stepped out, similarly vowing to the Great Dao to establish the Netherworld.
This finally made everyone understand.
It turned out that the reason for this turn of events was Celestial Daoist.
Or rather, it was Daoist Changsheng.
This Celestial Daoist was the same Daoist Changsheng who had previously fought against the Saints and caused the demise of Saint Nuwa.
And now, he had appeared again!
As an Incarnation of Daoist Changsheng, this time, was he called Celestial Daoist?
There was also another question.
Where did Daoist Changsheng get pangu primordial spirit and pangu essence blood?
They did not believe that Houtu would have these things.
Otherwise, the Witch Clan would have utilized these things long ago, instead of waiting until now, for Houtu to transform into Reincarnation before using them.
Therefore, there was only one answer.
Everything was done by Celestial Daoist, or rather, by his true self, Daoist Changsheng.
"Boom!"
At this moment, as the Great Dao receded, suddenly, the Void Realm trembled, and countless phenomena appeared, revealing the arrival of the Saints.
The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti, all the Saints had arrived in the Netherworld.
Immediately, a suppressive Aura filled the heavens and earth, causing all the mighty cultivators and countless living beings to tremble with fear.
Such a grand display again! If a battle were to break out, the newly opened Netherworld would probably be shattered, right?
Houtu looked at the Saints with an expressionless face.
Celestial Daoist, however, smiled and said, "What? Do you all want to fight again?"
"Hmph!"
Yuanshi snorted, clearly recalling an unpleasant memory, and said coldly, "Changsheng, you are truly afraid of death, aren't you? You only dare to send this Clone out to cause trouble?"
"Daoist Changsheng, I think it would be better to call him Daoist Afraid-of-Death."
Yuanshi mocked.
Celestial Daoist smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is right, I am afraid of death, after all, unlike you Saints, you can still live after being killed, can't you?"
Upon hearing this, Nuwa couldn't help but glare fiercely at Yuanshi.
Although Yuanshi knew that he had brought this verbal misfortune upon himself by that glare, he still couldn't help but secretly think, this woman is indeed petty, even after attaining the Dao, she is still a woman.
In contrast, Houtu on the opposite side had an immeasurably vast demeanor, even transforming herself into Reincarnation, what kind of compassion was that?
One must know that if Daoist Changsheng had not acted and given pangu primordial spirit and pangu essence blood, Houtu might have truly ceased to exist.
Yuanshi shook his head, casting aside these distracting thoughts. He had come this time to force a palace.
He couldn't let his own people start infighting first.
"Daoist Changsheng, I will not argue with you over words. We are here this time to convey our teacher's decree: from now on, your Incarnation will guard the Netherworld, and Fellow Daoist Houtu will guard Reincarnation. Neither of you shall leave the Netherworld again. Do you agree?"
Yuanshi said.
"Hongjun's intention?" Celestial Daoist seemed to be stunned for a moment.
And at the same time, in Taiyin Star, Lin Yang also received a prompt from the System: "Ding, Divine Grade Choice System has begun to issue a task: Compromise with the Saints and Hongjun. From now on, Celestial Daoist's Incarnation will guard the Netherworld and not leave the Netherworld."
"Choice One: Accept the task, and you can obtain Nine Deaths Divine Skill."
"Choice Two: Reject the task, and you can obtain Divine Ability One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones."
"Nine Deaths Divine Skill?"
Lin Yang was slightly stunned, and then he learned from the System that this Nine Deaths Divine Skill was indeed powerful.
Every time one died, being killed until both spirit and body were annihilated, then after resurrection, one's Cultivation would greatly advance.
Nine deaths and nine lives, one might be able to attain the Dao through this.
This Cultivation Technique was no less than Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill.
However, just like Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, this Cultivation Technique was very difficult to Cultivate, very difficult to Cultivate.
Putting aside everything else, with each death, each time dying so completely, who could guarantee that they could still revive again!
And Lin Yang Cultivated the Dao of Gou, so he was even less willing to Cultivate this kind of Cultivation Technique.
Why seek death when one could simply sleep well?
"System, I refuse!" Lin Yang said decisively.
One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones, good stuff!
This Divine Ability was unique to Laozi and could manifest three Incarnations with the same strength as the main body.
In the Netherworld, Celestial Daoist sneered and said, "Then his Hongjun's face is really big!"
"He tells me not to leave, and I won't leave?"
The Saints' expressions suddenly turned cold, and their Auras spread out, seemingly eager to move, as if another great battle was about to erupt.
And at this moment, suddenly, Houtu, who had been silent all this time, also spoke.
"That's what I mean too."
"Hongjun is your teacher, but my Witch Clan has never acknowledged him as the Dao Ancestor!"
Houtu's body also emitted an incomparably powerful Aura, connecting with the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Immediately, the Netherworld was in turmoil. Houtu looked at the Saints and sneered, "Also, are you planning to fight me here?"
The Saints' Aura was completely suppressed by Houtu alone.
In this Netherworld, with the Six Paths of Reincarnation as her backing, and with Houtu already having become "small Pangu," she truly feared no one.
Even if all the Saints attacked together, she was not afraid.
At this moment, Houtu stepped forward, her Aura suppressing the Saints, which immediately caused the Saints to change color.
Celestial Daoist laughed heartily, and his Aura also erupted.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation also emitted a force, empowering him, which caused Celestial Daoist's Aura to also rise by a notch at this moment.
With a bang, he finally broke through the Perfection of Quasi-Saint, reaching the same level as the Saints.
"What a coincidence, in this Netherworld, I'm not afraid to fight you either, even though I'm just an Incarnation!"
Celestial Daoist smiled and said, "Everyone, in this Netherworld, you can call me Fengdu, I am Emperor Fengdu, Lord of the Netherworld!"
The Saints' expressions completely changed.
This one Houtu was already enough to give them a headache, and now an Incarnation of Daoist Changsheng could also reach Saint-level combat power in the Netherworld. How were they supposed to fight now?
At this moment, suddenly, a sigh came, which was Hongjun's voice: "Enough, since none of you are willing, then do as you please!"
"You all, return!" Hongjun then said to the Saints.
The Saints retreated upon hearing this.
