Chapter 66: Three People Transmigrate

  The enormous body of the Black Turtle quickly shrank, turning into a size of only three zhang. A golden light flew out from it and transformed into a middle-aged Taoist priest with an extremely honest appearance. He was one zhang tall, wearing a earth-yellow Taoist robe. The turtle shell that fell off continued to shrink and landed perfectly in the Black Turtle's hand.

  "Black Turtle greets Master." Black Turtle bowed neatly and gave a proper salute.

  At this moment, the Xuan Gui's cultivation has stopped at the Da Luo Jinxian realm, but his magical powers are probably not inferior to those of a quasi-saint who can behead two corpses. Moreover, he also possesses innate spiritual powers and space-time secret methods, with boundless potential.

  "Black Turtle, I don't know if you are willing to surrender and become my disciple?"

  In the vast wilderness, these saints were quite particular about their mounts, and even some of their disciples couldn't compare. After all, they had to carry them around every day, so it was only natural that many mounts didn't want to transform into humans. For example, Tongtian's Qiu Niu was much better than those Jie teaching disciples.

  Of course, there is also a limit, and the mount can only reach the realm of Dah Luo at most. Now Xuan Gui already has the potential to impact the quasi-sage, and Jie Yin intends to accept him as a disciple, which is not a bad successor either.

  "Genbu greets the teacher." Genbu bowed again.

  "You don't have a name yet, it's not good to be called Xuan Gui again, so let's call you Xuan Cheng instead. I wish you success on your Xuan path."

  "Xuan Cheng thanked the teacher for giving him a name." The guide took out two more treasures, a chart and a gourd.

  "This is the Qiankun diagram, which subtly combines the principles of time and space, and communicates with your innate talent. This is the Turtle Shell, which was used to help you through the tribulation just now. Although your physical body is strong, your Dao heart is insufficient. This Turtle Shell will help stabilize your Dao heart. These two treasures are bestowed upon you."

  Xuan Cheng received the Dharma treasure, then bowed to thank him. Jie Yin announced to all the disciples that Xuan Cheng had become his disciple. Now, Jie Yin has five disciples: Yao Shi, Da Shi Zhi, Hou Yi, Xuan Cheng and Di Zang. After careful consideration, Jie Yin felt that he had passed on his Dharma lineage sufficiently and did not plan to easily open the door of goodness again.

  These five disciples made the escort extremely satisfied. The medicine master's cultivation had already reached the peak of Daluo Jinxian, and in this great calamity, he felt the heavenly and earthly evil energy, and was about to cut off the evil thoughts after closing his eyes, achieving the position of a quasi-sage. The Great Momentum has condensed into the past relics, initially entrusting the evil thoughts on it, and in a certain sense, the Great Momentum has already achieved quasi-sainthood. Ksitigarbha also achieved the position of a quasi-sage through the Mahayana method.

  It turns out that Jie Ying already has three quasi-Saint disciples, and Yuan Tian Zun has twelve Daluo Golden Immortal disciples, which is enough to shake the world. The success rate of his own cultivation is much higher than that of Yuan Tian.

  Hou Yi was summoned alone to the thatched cottage in the back mountain by Xiwangmu, who had gone through the great calamity of the witch and demon, watching almost all the witches fall, with a very low mood. Fortunately, Chang'e accompanied him, and the two were inseparable, Hou Yi's emotions barely recovered.

  Chang'e has already paid homage to the Queen Mother of the West, although her innate talent is not good, but after taking the Longevity Fruit, she has reached the realm of heavenly immortals. Fortunately, she has no interest in cultivation, and being able to live forever is enough.

  After Hou Yi had exchanged formalities with Jieyin, Jieyin took out an object and held it in his hand. When Hou Yi looked closely, he saw that it was a blood-red bead, which contained a powerful life force. This blood bead was full of mystery and wonder, with a thick atmosphere, and Hou Yi had a vague feeling about it, but he wasn't sure what it was.

  "Master, is this the ancestral witch's pure blood?"

  "Heh heh, is or isn't it? This time the twelve Ancestral Shamans fell, and I collected their essence blood. Hou Yi, do you know why the Ancestral Shamans, and even the entire Shamanic tribe, don't have a Primordial Spirit?"

  "I don't know, please instruct me, Master."

  "It's simple to say, Pangu opened up the world in the past, killing 3,000 chaotic magic gods. As a master, he was also a person who responded to the calamity, but fortunately preserved his original spirit without losing it. These fallen 3,000 chaotic magic gods were indeed favored by the Great Dao, with extraordinary means. After they fell, a malicious intention naturally condensed to corrode Pangu's legacy. The Three Purities have the Tian Di Linglong Xuan Huang Pagoda protecting their body, making it difficult for evil energy to invade. Zu Wu didn't have a treasure to hold onto, and was invaded by evil energy and malicious intentions. The original spirit is the gathering of clear energy in the human body, Pangu's refined blood was polluted by evil energy, making it naturally difficult to give birth to the original spirit, but instead achieved the greatness of Zu Wu's physical body."

  The ancestor witch later used her own blood to breed the tribe, and the same problem arose that it was difficult to give birth to the yuan god. However, the thinner the bloodline, the lighter the influence of the killing energy, so some witches and human tribes can give birth to descendants with yuan gods.

  Hou Yi was shocked when he heard Jie Yu's explanation and had never thought that it would be for such a reason.

  "As the Grand Witch, your bloodline has an extremely high concentration of evil energy, but fortunately, you have obtained the assistance of good deeds and cultivated your primordial spirit. However, there is still evil energy eroding your bloodline, making it difficult for your primordial spirit to cultivate higher levels. As your master, I will collect a strand of pure blood and use the power of industry fire to clear out the evil energy, barely restoring a bit of Pangu's pure blood. This should be enough to help you refine the evil energy in your bloodline. Pangu, as the leader of the primordial magic gods, has a strong devouring ability in his bloodline. As long as you carefully control it, refining the evil energy shouldn't be difficult."

  Hou Yi listened and had some doubts, "Master's disciple has a question, isn't Zu Wu also of Pangu's bloodline? Why can't they absorb the evil energy?"

  "Heh heh, you asked a good question. Everything depends on the yuan Shen. Without the yuan Shen, Zu Wu cannot control himself as precisely as a cultivator, not only can't feel the Heavenly Way, but also can't closely manipulate his own body, can't stimulate the blood veins, and can't clear the evil energy. Although the divine power is strong, it's ultimately hard to last long." Ji Yin sighed after finishing speaking.

  "You are blessed to have given birth to your primordial spirit. I hope you will follow the path of Pangu, and who knows, maybe one day you can surpass Pangu and attain the Great Way."

  Hou Yi's face couldn't hide the shock upon hearing Jieyin's words. Who was Pangu? He was the pioneer of this vast and chaotic land, probably even saints were far inferior to him. If Pangu himself couldn't walk through that path, how could he?

  "You don't have to be shocked, Pangu is indeed extraordinary, but he still fell. As long as we're alive, there's hope. If we continue to cultivate, naturally, there will come a day when we'll achieve something. Although the possibility is extremely small, it doesn't hurt to try. Moreover, my current mastery of the cause and effect technique is not enough to fully purify the evil energy in Zu Wu's blood essence and return it to its original state as Pangu's blood essence. I'll give some to you after I've refined it myself in the future, which will help speed up your cultivation. For now, I'm powerless."

  "Thank you, teacher, for your kindness. You have already done more than enough for me, and I will never forget the favors you have shown me."

  "There's no need for that, Heaven and Earth, Ruler, Parent, Teacher, the relationship between teacher and disciple is like father and son. Besides, aren't you currently cultivating Pangu's Nine Turns of the Mysterious Merit?"

  "It is true, this was passed down by the ancestors before the great calamity."

  "En, the Nine Turns of the Mysterious Merit is indeed Pan Gu's wonderful method, which directly connects to the Great Way. However, it requires absorbing the Chaos Qi to cultivate. Your ancestor, Zu Wu, used the killing Qi to cultivate, but ultimately found it difficult to succeed. Moreover, this method is too profound and you are not yet qualified to comprehend it. Why don't you let your master and I rederive a new method for you to temporarily practice? In the future, when you can cultivate in the Chaos, you will be able to absorb the Chaos Qi without delay."

  "Thank you, Master." After Hou Yi immediately told Jiuyi Xuan to Jieyin, Jieyin's cultivation as a saint naturally saw through it extremely clearly, knowing that this was the non-dual method of soul and flesh dual cultivation. He immediately began to deduce it. Hou Yi left the grass hut and went back to refine his blood essence.

  To say that the old master of the Eight Scenic Palace, one calculation is that the great calamity has passed for a considerable time. On the vast land of Honghuang, the human race has begun to flourish again. This time, the human race was unimpeded and quickly occupied the entire land of Honghuang, becoming the overlord of Honghuang.

  Laozi knew it was time to establish the Three Sovereigns, so he ordered Xuandu to invite Nüwa to come.

  Two saints met and began to discuss, with Laozi personally overseeing the six paths of reincarnation, sending Fuxi's primordial spirit into reincarnation. Fuxi's primordial spirit was already somewhat damaged and needed to go through a dozen or so reincarnations to be restored. Laozi then took out another primordial spirit from the gourd, which was the remnant soul of Dongwanggong. Laozi also threw him into reincarnation, but Dongwanggong's primordial spirit was far more damaged than Fuxi's, and it would take at least a hundred lifetimes to have any hope of fully repairing it. However, Laozi was not in a hurry, merely setting down a chess piece, waiting for the day when it could be used.

  The old man sent two souls into reincarnation and returned to the Eight Scenic Palace. As soon as he left, the body of the guide appeared above the six reincarnations, holding the residual soul of the red cloud in his hand. The guide infused a bit of merit energy into it, ensuring that the residual soul also entered reincarnation, making it a powerful chess piece to restrain Nüwa or even the old man himself in the future.

  Three residual souls were sent into reincarnation, actually marking the beginning of a new era. The tribal rule over the vast wilderness has become a thing of the past. From now on, it is the saints who are playing chess, with heaven and earth as the chessboard and all living beings as pawns. What they are competing for is profound calculation and seizing the great momentum of the teachings. The era of the saints has truly begun.

  Another three hundred years passed, and Laozi suddenly invited all the saints to Ba Jing Palace to discuss important matters. Jieyin and Zhunti knew that it was about establishing the Three Emperors, which was a great opportunity for them to seek merit for their juniors, so they prepared to rush up together.

  The six saints have taken their seats in the Eight Scenic Palace. Laozi's gaze swept across the faces of the other saints, and his heart felt a hint of bitterness. Originally, the Three Pures were one entity, with an advantage in terms of numbers and strength, able to suppress the other saints. Now that they had fallen out, it was good that Tongtian was not on his side, making him an enemy. He and Yuanshi also had their own plans, and couldn't even be as close as the two Western Saints. A feeling of powerlessness surged up in Laozi's heart, a feeling that made him hate Tongtian and the two Western Saints even more, constantly plotting in his mind.

  "Fellow Taoist friends, the great calamity of the witch demon has passed, and the human race should prosper. We must follow the will of heaven to establish the three emperors, in order to suppress the fortune of the human race. The Heavenly Emperor Fuxi has already fallen into the cycle of reincarnation, and he will soon be reborn. Let us still discuss the selection of the master of these three emperors."

  "Heh heh, what you said is indeed correct, I wonder if you have any candidates in mind?" The guide asked with a smile.

  "As the master of human teachings, it's naturally inconvenient for me to continue serving as a teacher to these three emperors. You choose instead."

  "I just want to choose one, and there are no more people under my command. The fall of the demon clan is almost complete. You all discuss it." Nuwa said and got up and returned to the Palace of Nuwa. The saints knew that since the demon clan was almost completely destroyed, Nuwa's mood had not been good, so they didn't bother her.

  Now there are only three religions left, and it depends on how Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jiuku Tianshen, and Zhunti will be distributed.
