Chapter 465

Unless Nüwa alone could stand against all other Saints, but clearly, this was impossible.

Now that Houtu occupies the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the situation is similar.

If Luo Fu had not given the Six Paths of Reincarnation to Houtu.

Then Luo Fu, backed by Saint Tongtian and two senior masters, could have fully seized the Six Paths of Reincarnation to some extent.

After all, Tongtian would never seize from his own disciple, and the same applied to his two senior masters, Laozi and Master Yuanshi.

On the contrary, if other Saints wished to target Luo Fu.

Then they would have to pass through them first.

Clearly, in the Honghuang realm, three Saints stood as backing.

Neither Nüwa nor the Western Two Saints could interfere with Luo Fu's established Six Paths of Reincarnation.

As for Nüwa, after creating the human race and becoming the target of all other Saints, she carved out her own Nüwa Palace beyond heaven and rarely interacted with the outside world.

She was unlike the Three Pure Ones or the Western Two Saints, who established sects to perfect all things under heaven.

So even if the Six Paths of Reincarnation were established, Nüwa probably wouldn't seek to claim any of its merit and fortune.

In a certain sense.

As the human race became the future protagonists of heaven and earth, Nüwa needed to do nothing—she would naturally gain endless merit and fortune.

Why would she compete for the merit of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

This was true even of the historical Nüwa.

So if Luo Fu were the master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, even the Western Two Saints would dare not act against him.

After all, behind Luo Fu stood three Saints.

Three Saints were far stronger than the Western Two Saints.

But if Luo Fu handed the position of master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to Houtu, the situation would be different.

Although Houtu could, through corresponding authority, unleash power approaching that of a Hunyuan Da Luo, it was only roughly at that level.

Compared to Luo Fu, the power Houtu could exert still fell short.

Therefore, if Houtu alone managed the vast Six Paths of Reincarnation with the Wu Clan, the Western Two Saints would likely eye this territory.

This was prime meat.

Originally, after Luo Fu successfully established the Six Paths of Reincarnation as a Saint's disciple, the Western Two Saints both wanted a share.

But the appearance of the Three Pure Ones foiled their plans, let alone Luo Fu later delivering a humiliating rebuke to Zhunti.

One could only say the Western Two Saints' actions were a case of trying to steal a chicken and losing a handful of rice.

Thus, having been humiliated, by common logic, Zhunti and the others would never again interfere with the Six Paths of Reincarnation under Luo Fu's control.

But now, with Houtu in charge, the situation might be different.

Houtu was not Luo Fu—she had no three Saints behind her.

Precisely because of this, Luo Fu had asked his master and two senior masters to send disciples to reside in the Underworld.

Although Houtu would lose some of the Underworld's merit and fortune, at least the Underworld would have three Saints as backing.

For the Three Pure Ones, allowing their disciples to reside in the Underworld was also beneficial.

Their sect disciples could gain merit and fortune, thereby enhancing their strength.

It was endless.

The growth of their sects brought only advantages, no drawbacks, to these Saints.

That was why they agreed to Luo Fu's request.

For Houtu, this was also a win-win.

"Friend Houtu, do you find this suitable?" Luo Fu's gaze turned to Houtu.

"Thank you, Friend Luo Fu, thank you, three friends," Houtu bowed to Luo Fu and the Three Pure Ones.

Now possessing the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Houtu was, in a sense, also a Hunyuan Da Luo.

Addressing the Three Pure Ones as "friend" was normal.

"Good," Saint Tongtian smiled. "Friend Houtu, I will send some Jie Sect disciples to reside in the Underworld; I hope you will arrange them well."

"Friend Houtu, I will also send Chan Sect disciples," Master Yuanshi said gravely.

"As for me?" Laozi said. "I have few disciples, but I will send those few to undergo trials."

"Luo Fu, you have successfully established the Six Paths of Reincarnation and forged a complete Chaos Treasure—do you wish to return to Mount Kunlun, or remain in Honghuang?" Saint Tongtian's gaze turned to his disciple.

Saint Tongtian was satisfied with this disciple.

Whatever choice the disciple made, Saint Tongtian supported.

When Luo Fu's mastery of the Dao's mysteries could rival these Hunyuan Da Luo, Tongtian understood that the next time he saw his disciple, the disciple's strength might already surpass his own.

Think—only a short time had passed since he took Luo Fu as his disciple.

Yet in this brief span, Luo Fu had grown to such astonishing heights.

Even Saint Tongtian had never imagined this.

After all, at this time, Tongtian's eldest direct disciple, Daoist Duobao, was only a Taiyi Jin Xian—not yet even a Da Luo Jinxian.

Don't be fooled by Luo Fu's rapid breakthroughs.

In truth, Luo Fu was an exceptionally unique case.

His other direct disciples in the Jie Sect—whether Daoist Duobao, Jin Ling, Wu Dang, or Gui Ling Shengmu—all possessed outstanding talent, ranking among the very best in Honghuang.

Of course, they could not be fully compared to Tongtian himself, a primordial divine being.

Primordial divine beings were those rare first-formed lifeforms of Honghuang.

The current Saints, the high echelons of the Wu and Yao clans—all were roughly such.

But as time passed, such primordial divine beings would grow fewer, even vanish from Honghuang.

After all, primordial deities are born from the embodiment of supreme beings.

This requires sufficient spiritual energy and the corresponding environment.

After the historical calamity of the Wu-Yao era, the Primordial World was shattered.

That kind of spiritual energy environment suffered tremendous damage.

Of course, now that Luo Fu exists, whether history will unfold as it once did is uncertain.

Let's set that aside for now.

Luo Fu heard these words from Tongtian Jiaozhu and shook his head. "Master, I do not intend to return to Mount Kunlun yet—I still wish to hone myself on the Primordial World."

"Very well," Tongtian Jiaozhu smiled. "Then I will not stop you. And if the Two Sages of the West dare lay a hand on you, I will make them learn that Tongtian Jiaozhu is not to be trifled with."

"That's right," Laozi nodded. "If the Two Sages of the West dare harm you, I will intervene."

To Laozi's eyes, Luo Fu was becoming more and more likable—he even felt Luo Fu might surpass his own direct disciple, Xuan Du.

"Luo Fu, just go forth and explore," Master Yuanshi said coolly.

Though his words did not explicitly offer aid, his tone carried the same meaning as Tongtian and Laozi's.

Ultimately,

Sanqing and the others dissolved into beams of light and vanished into the sea of blood.

Since Luo Fu had resolved the matter of establishing the Six Realms of Reincarnation, it was time for them to return to Mount Kunlun.

On one hand, to arrange disciples to take up residence in the Six Realms; on the other, to process the shock Luo Fu had just delivered.

To suppress a Heaven's Dao Saint with Great Luo power.

The astonishment and upheaval in Sanqing's hearts had not yet fully settled.

…………………………

"Luo Fu, I am now preparing to return to the Wu Clan to arrange matters concerning the Six Realms of Reincarnation," Sister Houtu bowed to Luo Fu.

Now, the Primordial Wu Ancestor Sister Houtu had become the Lord of the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

But the Six Realms of Reincarnation were now merely an empty shell.

Even if Sanqing Sect disciples took up residence, they could not possibly govern such a vast Underworld.

A large portion would still need to be managed by our Wu Clan.

Thus, for Sister Houtu, this would preserve the vital strength of the Wu Clan.

Even if the Wu-Yao calamity truly erupts,

this place will serve as the Wu Clan's retreat.

The Six Realms of Reincarnation are a crucial place within the Primordial World.

Even if the Primordial World is shattered, under current conditions, the Six Realms of Reincarnation will not be greatly affected.

Unless, of course, the entire Primordial World is to be destroyed.
