Chapter 240

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed disbelief.

Just curious and looking?

This was absolutely impossible.

With Xuangui's strength and realm, if he only wanted to look, he could have come here later instead of at this special time.

However, since Xuangui did not attack at the first opportunity, Laozi and the others would not be foolish enough to tear their faces with him.

After all, the most important thing now was to wait; as long as Houtu Zuwu perfected her control of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, her strength would surpass everything and reach a level where she could contend with him.

In this way, if it were only Xuangui, he really could not act recklessly.

Even though they knew Xuangui's strength was not simple, the fighting spirit in the hearts of Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian did not show any signs of slowing down at this moment.

Thinking of this, Laozi immediately stopped saying anything else, but instead changed the subject: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be interested in this, fellow Daoist."

"How about it, do you have any other opinions on this Six Paths of Reincarnation, fellow Daoist?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Xuangui with curiosity.

After all, to tell the truth, they were not very clear about the specific situation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but Xuangui was knowledgeable, and he was an existence born from the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth; it was not impossible that he might know more information than they did.

"Opinions?"

With a playful smile, Xuangui did not hide anything, his expression somewhat serious: "If what you are looking forward to is Houtu Zuwu proving the Dao of Hunyuan, then there is basically no hope."

"Her goal is not to prove the Dao of Hunyuan, nor is it to become a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal."

"Of course, this path is also not bad; at the very least, it is not inferior to a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and in a certain sense, it is even more powerful than an ordinary Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal."

"It's just that the path she is taking is extremely dangerous, and she will face one, or even two, terrifying opponents; a slight carelessness will lead to a total loss, and she might even lose everything she has!"

What?

What do you mean?

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Their hearts were all filled with confusion by Xuangui's words, not understanding what he was referring to.

Especially the Three Pure Ones.

At the current stage, Houtu clearly had the trend of proving the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

But why did Xuangui say she did not have such thoughts? And that she was walking an alternative path?

Besides proving the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and proving the Dao to become a Saint, what other methods of proving the Dao were there? And one that could be three times stronger than an ordinary Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal?

Most importantly, who were the powerful enemies Xuangui spoke of? Since failure meant the possibility of losing everything, this was simply...

"Xuangui, what do you mean by this?"

Subconsciously, Ancestral Witch Dijiang asked.

After all, this matter concerned Houtu's future, and they, as her brothers, really could not sit idly by.

Unfortunately, faced with the question, Xuangui did not answer, and did not even care about the Ancestral Witches at all, his eyes fixed on the Six Paths of Reincarnation, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, the faces of Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches were ugly, but due to the gap in strength between the two sides, they had to calm down.

On the contrary, the Three Pure Ones were thoughtful.

Not proving the Dao to become a Saint, and not proving the Dao of Hunyuan.

Then what path was Houtu walking? And what path would be so dangerous that a slight carelessness would lead to death and the dissipation of the Dao?

However, now that Xuangui was not speaking, the Three Pure Ones were not easy to pursue; after all, they also wanted to save face. If they were ignored like the Ancestral Witches, where would their dignity be?

Thinking of this, the Three Pure Ones also remained silent.

For a time, the atmosphere that had been tense and ready to break out into a fight became quiet.

As time passed, Houtu Zuwu's aura within the Netherworld became increasingly powerful, and the battle within the Shanhe Sheji Map in the outside world also became increasingly intense.

It was just that the two sides did not affect each other, which led to the situation not worsening, and even no conflict or battle occurring.

Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky.

Rumble—

Rumble—

As far as the eye could see, the wind and clouds surged in the sky, and while dark clouds gathered, countless lightning bolts jumped and shuttled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and an incomparably vast pressure surged out; vaguely, one could see a cold and ruthless eye seemingly overlooking everything from the sky.

"This is~"

"Heavenly Dao!"

Almost in an instant, the Three Pure Ones' expressions changed drastically, and they looked at the sky area in horror.

Although they had heard roughly when they were at Pangu Hall that the Heavenly Dao would participate in this, and even prevent Houtu Zuwu from proving the Dao.

But they never expected that such a thing would actually be true.

What exactly did Houtu Zuwu do to make the Heavenly Dao care so much, and even target her?

If the Heavenly Dao were to personally enter the fray, how should they respond? Defy the Heavenly Dao, or obey the Heavenly Dao?

Thinking of this, the Three Pure Ones were conflicted, and even felt helpless and stifled from the bottom of their hearts.

If they had known this, they would have followed into the Shanhe Sheji Map earlier; that way, there would have been a possibility of avoiding a direct confrontation with the Heavenly Dao, and they would not be so conflicted and helpless.

"Hahaha, you have finally appeared."

However, at this moment, Xuangui suddenly laughed out loud.

He saw him take a step, and his figure had already appeared above the sky, completely ignoring the dense lightning sweeping in from all around, his eyes fixed on that silver eye: "Heavenly Dao, you couldn't hold back anymore, could you!"

"Houtu transformed into reincarnation, and now she has actually activated the Earthly Dao; you can no longer dominate the Great Desolation alone, and it is no longer possible for you to control the general trend and direction of the Great Desolation with your own strength."

"What, you want to stop her revival at this time, or even make the Earthly Dao your subsidiary? Do you think I will agree? Do you think I will watch you grow stronger!"

What!

Earthly Dao!

Hearing this, the Three Pure Ones, Ancestral Witches, and Asuras below were all surprised.

Houtu had actually activated the Earthly Dao, and because of this, it led to the vigilance and killing intent of the Heavenly Dao, which was why it personally appeared to destroy all of this.

If this were the case, wouldn't it mean that once Houtu succeeded, she would become the Lord of the Earthly Dao, an existence similar to Hongjun after merging with the Dao?

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones suddenly realized.

No wonder Xuangui said earlier that once Houtu succeeded, she would not be inferior to a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and even stronger than an ordinary Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

It turns out she had actually activated the Earthly Dao, which was not inferior to the Heavenly Dao, and she had even become the person chosen by the Earthly Dao; this was simply enough to make people burn with jealousy.

You must know that they had basically reached the limit of Saints now, and it was basically impossible to go any further, unless they got rid of Hongjun, replaced his position, and merged with the Heavenly Dao, thereby elevating their own foundation to a brand-new dimension.

But how could such a thing be accomplished? Was the existence of Hongjun something that could be shaken at will? Was it something that could be annihilated and replaced just like that?
