Chapter 570: Pingxin

"Yes, that was Ancestor Hongjun."

Hearing Pingxin Niangniang's words, Luo Fu couldn't help but feel a deep sense of reflection.

Internally, Luo Fu held considerable respect for Ancestor Hongjun.

Setting aside his stance, Ancestor Hongjun's series of maneuvers were exceedingly ingenious.

Without paying a heavy price, he brought human Dao under heavenly Dao, even encroaching upon part of earth Dao's authority.

The conflict between heaven and humanity was an inevitable outcome of the world's development.

As the heavenly Dao's spokesperson, suppressing human Dao was entirely justifiable.

But Luo Fu's stance was human Dao.

The two were inherently opposed.

As an enemy, Luo Fu had no great fondness for Ancestor Hongjun's methods.

"Friend, rest assured—I'm not reckless. I fully understand Ancestor Hongjun's strength. Reversing the great calamity doesn't necessarily provoke his personal intervention."

Luo Fu spoke to soothe her.

"Indeed, Ancestor Hongjun is far above, unlikely to intervene so easily."

Pingxin Niangniang nodded, acknowledging Luo Fu's words, yet a faint unease still lingered in her eyes.

After hearing countless secrets from Luo Fu,

her impression of Ancestor Hongjun had changed drastically.

If, as Luo Fu claimed, Ancestor Hongjun was the mastermind behind the great calamities,

it was hard to guarantee he wouldn't personally intervene to suppress Luo Fu when he reversed the great calamity.

"Friend, don't worry—even if Ancestor Hongjun truly acts, I have means to handle it. This is one of my reasons for coming to the Underworld."

Seeing Pingxin Niangniang still uneasy, Luo Fu spoke again to reassure her.

"You have means to handle the Dao Ancestor? And they're tied to my Underworld? Could it be the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

Hearing Luo Fu claim he could handle Ancestor Hongjun, Pingxin Niangniang's eyes flashed with sharp insight.

After learning of Luo Fu's deeds in the Primordial World, she regarded his power as equal to that of a Saint.

That was also why, when Luo Fu declared his intent to reverse the great calamity, she hadn't worried about the two Western Buddhist Saints.

In the Primordial World, Luo Fu had directly shattered Saint Zhunti.

Surely in this world, even if he couldn't overpower Saint Zhunti, handling him wouldn't be a problem.

If Luo Fu gathered some allies, plus her and the entire Witch Clan, dealing with Saint Jieyin and the entire Buddhist order wouldn't be too difficult.

But Ancestor Hongjun was different.

Below the Saint, all were ants.

Below the Dao Ancestor, even Saints were ants.

"Indeed, it's tied to the Six Paths of Reincarnation," Luo Fu nodded.

"More precisely, it's tied to earth Dao."

Luo Fu had three purposes for coming to the Underworld.

The first was to find a teacher for Sun Wukong.

The second was for earth Dao.

"Earth Dao? Can earth Dao handle Ancestor Hongjun? But earth Dao is incomplete and weakened—it shouldn't be a match for heavenly Dao, right?"

Pingxin Niangniang looked at Luo Fu with confusion.

According to Luo Fu's speculation, the current heavenly Dao had seized control of human Dao and greatly weakened earth Dao, now utterly dominating both.

The fact that the Earth Dao's authority can't even extend beyond the Underworld is proof enough.

"If it's incomplete, then make it complete. As for the parts that were weakened, help earth Dao reclaim them."

Luo Fu spoke calmly.

His tone carried no emotion, as if stating something trivial.

In fact, it was exactly that.

With Luo Fu's current mastery of the Dao, perfecting the Journey to the West World's earth Dao was not a difficult task.
