Chapter 76: The Great Dao of the Bloody Sea, Difficulty in Calming the Heart of the Earth

  Blood Sea Town Soul Temple, Minghe Laozu was watching the Asura tribe people jumping out of the blood pool with a satisfied face, occasionally losing his voice and laughing lightly. In the future, these will all be his own disciples, believing in him as their master, but in his heart, he is extremely expectant.

  Although the great teachings of Lixiu Luo did not make him a saint, the pride of being revered and worshiped by countless names made him feel quite pleased. Hum, you can become the master of a sect, I, Minghe, can too. When the opportunity arises in the future, I will necessarily seize the opportunity to become a saint and achieve the great way of Hunyuan Wuji.

  While wandering in the Nether River, lost in wild and fanciful thoughts, a sudden angry shout pierced through the bloody sea, crashing towards the Town Soul Hall. The entire bloody sea was stirred up, and the Town Soul Hall was shaken left and right. The Nether River was shocked, and after calculating with its fingers, it furrowed its brow, realizing the cause and effect of the situation - Hou Tu had come to scold them, which would be difficult to deal with.

  Sages are not all-powerful, let alone quasi-saints. It's like Minghe and Hou Tu, the two of them have similar cultivation levels, unless it's a matter of life and death that requires manual calculation, otherwise, it's really difficult for the other party to sense in advance what will happen.

  Minghe felt that the arrival of Houtu was not auspicious, so he stopped the Blood River Reincarnation Formation and ordered his disciples to hide well. He put away the two swords, Yuantu and Abi, from the blood pool and stepped out of the Blood Sea directly.

  "Haha... I wonder who it is, turns out it's Hou Tu Shimei arriving. How come you're still standing outside? Don't tell me you look down on your brother's humble Nine Underworlds Blood Sea? Next time don't be so distant, just come straight to my palace." Meng He exited the Blood Sea and saw Hou Tu standing in the distance with an angry face in the empty space of the Nine Underworlds. He went forward to pay his respects. Earlier in the Zixiao Palace, Hong Jun had mentioned that Hou Tu was indeed considered everyone's Shimei (younger sister).

  "Hmph, Junior Sister is being polite! How dare I enter Senior Brother's palace, wouldn't that be ruining Senior Brother's good fortune?" Minghe said with a respectful tone, discussing the importance of relationships, and Hou Tu didn't want to lose face either.

  "There's no such thing, there's no such thing." Minghe's heart was also like a clear mirror. Since Hou Tu had come to the door, he must have seen the strange phenomenon of Xue Hai with his own eyes. However, he also had a bottom line in his heart and didn't feel ashamed or afraid. "It's just that I, Xue Hai, have been busy with many things lately, and I've neglected my junior sister."

  "What a complicated matter!!! Master is busy being the master, I suppose!" Later, after seeing the scene of the bloody sea, he calculated it and found that it was a manifestation of the heavenly machine, but he still didn't know what the causes and consequences were.

  "This... is the rebirth of the Blood Sea's Shura, and with a humble plea, my senior brother cannot refuse. It's actually an honor to be the sect leader!" Hou Tu didn't tear off his mask, but his words were laced with thorns, making Ming He somewhat uncomfortable.

  "Alas! Brother Minghe, what you think, I don't know. The creator's virtue and the master's dignity, who doesn't love and who doesn't think, there's nothing wrong with that. The Shura clan is also a part of the heavenly way." Seeing Minghe always answering softly, Hou Tu didn't dare to mock him again, comparing the Shura clan's actions, Minghe seemed more reasonable, "It's just that your greed is too much, under the full operation of this blood sea wheel array, I'm afraid it has already absorbed tens of thousands of ghost souls, sucking out their essence and transforming them into the Shura clan. Isn't that too cruel?"

  "Sister, since you already know everything, I won't hide it from you. This time, I'm going to use the ghostly spirits of the human tribe to create more of my Asura clan. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to create some more? Where else can we find such a chance in the future?" Minghe was also somewhat opposed to the opinions of the two Westerners and Nüwa, but towards the others who were listening at the Zixuan Palace, he had an attitude of "you don't provoke me, I won't bother you".

  "The human tribe was originally miserable and helpless, and was suddenly slaughtered by the witch demons, leaving only ghosts. We, as great masters, should follow the example of Qingqiu Mountain's Zhou Cheng, and take care of them more. How can we do such a thing as to exterminate them completely?" Hou Tu also spoke bluntly, that the human tribe being slaughtered by the witch demons was already well-known throughout the vast wilderness.

  "Sister, you're quite straightforward. However, the human tribe was slaughtered by a group of demons and witches like you, and I have no connection with my brother. As a true cultivator of the Tao, under the Hong Jun Gate, I naturally pity the human tribe. But the Heavenly Way is not complete, and many things have a narrow gap. It's as if these human ghosts are not accepted by heaven or earth, drifting everywhere. I've taken in some, purified the world, and used them to cultivate the Shura tribe. This should be a great cause and effect of heaven and earth, so how can it be an extermination?"

  This is the trump card of Meng He's bold actions, and it is also the reason why he is not afraid of Zhou Cheng and others looking for trouble. Anyway, since he didn't kill anyone, he considers himself a cleaner of the Three Clans' battlefield.

  Houtu heard the words, and couldn't help but frown tightly. Relying solely on a woman's intuition, she could feel that Minghe's words were not right, they were wrong. However, even if it was calculated by the heavenly mechanism, she still didn't know where exactly it was wrong. Could it be that the heavenly way was biased, and it was destined for the human tribe's souls to perish, and for the Shura tribe to rise? No, absolutely not.

  "Senior brother, you also shouldn't be so arrogant with your eloquence. Although I may not be able to calculate the specific flaws in the Heavenly Way that you mentioned, I know that what you said is incorrect. The souls of humanity should not be destroyed in such a manner, and the Shura clan should not act in this way. If you continue down this path, won't you end up destroying all of humanity's souls?"

  "So, tell me, if we don't take the human soul, how will our Shura clan prosper?" Minghe felt that there was something wrong with the Shura clan, but no matter how many times he calculated the heavenly secrets, he only knew that the Shura clan couldn't leave without the human soul, and what exactly was wrong, he didn't know.

  "Minghe Shixiong, haven't you been living in the Blood Sea for too long? How do you not know how humans reproduce?" Hou Tu said with some embarrassment.

  "Isn't humanity created by Nüwa?" Minghe looked bewildered, this question was so simple.

  Houtu burst out laughing and said with a flushed face: "Since the time of Nüwa, the holy woman who created humans, men and women have been different. Many people have feelings for each other, unite in marriage, and naturally produce offspring, multiplying their descendants."

  Minghe listened and suddenly felt enlightened, stomping his foot and scolding: "Houtu's sister has indeed done a good deed, but Master is really confused. I have already created the male and female Asura tribe, but I didn't know how to teach them the way of yin and yang, only knowing how to operate the great array and absorb ghost spirits to create the Asura tribe." Minghe thought he had found what was missing from the Asura tribe and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

  "Elder brother, it was just a momentary lapse, but now that you understand the cause and effect, don't harm these poor ghost souls again." Back then, the witch tribe slaughtered humans, and even with Hongjun's persuasion, she couldn't stop them. She had been extremely uneasy in her heart. Hongjun punished the two tribes of witches, making her firmly believe that she was right back then, and she regretted not stopping the witch tribe from holding the soul-refining treasure ceremony. In the depths of her heart, a sense of conscience lingered, and it was all because of these ghost souls who died unjustly. The more she looked at them, the more pitiful they seemed, and the more sorrowful and guilty she felt.

  "Sister, since you've taught me such a wonderful technique, how could I not get along with these insignificant ghosts? I'll stop the big array and let them settle in the sea of blood. It's just that brother is foolish, making sister laugh... Facing this kind and gentle woman, who in the world would dare to speak ill of her? Moreover, we are still nominal siblings, and as the master of the Nether River, I truly feel a bit embarrassed."

  "Senior brother, why be so estranged? The Blood Sea is also a place for ghosts like us to settle down. Congratulations to senior brother for becoming the master of a sect, honoring ancestors and respecting seniors, with great prosperity in the future, even saints will look up to you!"

  "Haha... thank you, junior sister, for your kind words. If you wouldn't mind, please come in and rest for a moment in my humble abode?"

  "I've troubled you, elder brother. I still have some mundane matters to attend to, now that this matter is settled, I'll take my leave."

  "Haha... Alright, then I'll wait in the palace for your arrival at any time, sister. I'll go back and teach you about the great way of yin and yang first." Minghe got a plan and was somewhat impatient.

  "See you off, senior brother." Hou Tu cupped his hands and bowed, but the anger he had when he first arrived was gone.

  The Nether River ran its course, and Hou Tu stood in the void, quietly watching those playful ghosts frolicking in the bloody sea. Although they seemed joyful, she felt something was off deep down, repeatedly calculating the heavenly mechanism but still unclear. She let out a soft sigh and returned to the Witch Clan.

  Thanks to the support of brothers, I'm temporarily ranked first in the Xian Xia chart recommendations. Nothing more to say, I'll focus on writing and ensure updates, no harem! This is my return to the brothers.
