Chapter 100: Communicating with the Netherworld, the Copulation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation

Within the flowing golden Innate Spiritual Qi, dense clusters of Strange Stone were scattered everywhere.

They were oddly shaped, firmly adhered to the void, and emitted halos of various colors, looking extremely out of place.

Walking closer, one could clearly feel their erosion of the Earth Vein.

And among these dense Strange Stones, a group of the Wu Clan were working diligently.

There were ordinary members of the Wu Clan, as well as many powerful Great Witches, though the state of those Great Witches looked somewhat strange.

Seeing Tian Yuan appear, the surrounding Wu Clan all stopped their movements, their faces full of anger and their eyes showing undisguised murderous intent.

Although they glared with rage, not a single member of the Wu Clan stepped forward, and the Great Witches also stood still in place.

"Let's go! Let's go see the Earth Vein being purified by the Demon Race!"

As Tian Yuan spoke, a faint will rose up, enveloping Nuwa and the other.

As for the attitude of the Wu Clan on the scene, Tian Yuan did not care at all; it was enough that they could provide value.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at another Earth Vein, and Fuxi also caught sight of those members of the Demon Court who had been captured.

Just like the previous members of the Wu Clan, they were all diligently purifying the Earth Vein, and many were even enjoying it.

The only difference was that these members of the Demon Race had tools in their hands.

Chitie, who was famous among the Ten Great Demon Sages, was also in this group, and he was the most proactive among them.

Sweeping his gaze over those figures, Fuxi's expression grew increasingly ugly.

The two Demon Emperors, including himself, cared very much about the captured members of the Demon Race.

He did not expect that after being captured by Tian Yuan, these fellows would actually have no resistance in their hearts.

Although the appearance of Gonggong also shocked Fuxi greatly, it had only been a short time; it made no sense for them to be so content.

If he were not trapped at this moment, Fuxi would definitely have gone up to give these fellows a beating.

"Greetings, Senior Tian Yuan!" Seeing Tian Yuan appear, Blood Dragon and the other two immediately stepped forward respectfully to pay their respects.

Fuxi, who was already angry, felt as if fire were about to spew from his eyes as he looked at the three somewhat sycophantic Demons before him.

The Demon Court had not been established for long, and since Great Demons often came to join during this period, he did not recognize every Great Demon.

He simply assumed these three Demons had succumbed to Tian Yuan's lewd might and defected so quickly.

Sensing Fuxi's gaze, Blood Dragon looked over, a flash of oddity in his eyes, but he did not pay it any mind.

The layers of golden rings circling Fuxi were enough to explain the other party's identity.

Being captured by Senior Tian Yuan, anger was to be expected, and being upset was reasonable; it would be normal after a while.

Blood Dragon's indifferent glance immediately left Fuxi stunned in place.

He seemed to have misunderstood something; these three members of the Demon Race did not recognize him at all. Was Tian Yuan still capturing members of the Demon Race on the Primordial Land?

In the distance, Chitie and the others also saw Tian Yuan and his group, all of them staring at Nuwa and Fuxi in shock.

"Emperor Xi, Emperor Wa?" Chitie was dumbfounded, his split mouth stretching all the way to the back of his ears.

Fuxi and Nuwa were both Demon Emperors and the leaders of the Demon Court.

Having seen Gonggong captured earlier, Chitie had been filled with fear. He did not expect that before much time had passed, Nuwa and Fuxi would both be captured as well.

Stunned on the scene, Chitie wondered whether he should go up and say hello now.

"Hmph!"

Taking in everyone's expressions, Fuxi just gave a cold huff.

He himself had been captured, so what right did he have to complain about these subordinates? He simply turned his head to the side.

Nuwa did not have as many thoughts as Fuxi; she strode toward a Strange Stone and casually blasted it with a palm.

Boom— With the sound, Nuwa froze in place, her eyes filled with astonishment.

With her strength, she was actually unable to shake the small stone in front of her?

Suspicious, Nuwa threw another punch, and there was a heaven-shaking sound, but the stone remained motionless.

"Use this!" Tian Yuan casually tossed over a pickaxe.

Sure enough, the only ones on the Primordial Land who could easily clear the Strange Stones were the Wu Clan; even Innate Sacreds among other living beings were no exception.

Unless they could touch the existence at the level of will, at least the Nuwa before him could not yet do so.

Nuwa took the pickaxe, her eyes brightening; this pickaxe seemed to be transformed from the will of Mount Buzhou.

She swung the pickaxe down, and with a clang, the Strange Stone trembled slightly. She struck again, and with a bang, it shattered in the air and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Instantly, Nuwa felt a faint trace of energy surge toward her.

"This..."

Nuwa turned to look at Tian Yuan, somewhat understanding why the Witch and Demon Clans, even when extremely angry, were still all scrambling to dredge the Earth Veins.

Not to mention whether merit would descend from this act, the harvest before her eyes alone was impossible to refuse.

Being captured and brought here by Brother Tian Yuan was entirely a first heaven-defying great fortune.

But as she turned back, Nuwa's beautiful eyes stared blankly at the firmament, and then she flew out of the Earth Vein in a hurry.

A towering divine mountain stood before her, shrouded in endless Mysterious Yellow Qi, emitting an ancient and vast aura.

That fluctuation—it was Mount Buzhou! Just now, the few of them had their backs turned, and Nuwa had been attracted by the scene in front, so they hadn't noticed what was behind them.

Nuwa's strangeness also left Fuxi standing there in a daze; what kind of place was this? Just at this moment, the divine mountain before them suddenly trembled slightly, the wrapped Mysterious Yellow Qi surged and roared, accompanied by an inexplicable will sweeping out.

Tian Yuan was startled and hurriedly flew up.

Before Tian Yuan could investigate further, an inexplicable will emerged, accompanied by a voice he had not heard for a long time. "Brother Buzhou!"

The voice was ethereal, filled with deep joy and excitement, as if it were a relative reunited after a long separation.

Only, compared to the last time, it sounded extremely weak as well.

Tian Yuan, his face full of shock, immediately calmed his mind, and instantly, a scene slowly floated before his eyes.

In the dark void, the earth was devastated, and everywhere was a scene of ruins.

In the deepest part of the collapse, a broken wheel, with only half remaining, lay tilted in the void, emitting a milky-white halo.

Faint Yin and Yang Qi rose from the wheel, blending together as they vanished into the void.

Not far from the wheel, a graceful figure stood slowly; it was the long-vanished Ancestral Witch Houtu.

Seeming to sense the gaze of Mount Buzhou, the wheel trembled slightly, and the voice from just before sounded once more.

"Brother Buzhou, you have finally come."

Six Paths of Reincarnation, that was the Six Paths of Reincarnation; the voice he had heard earlier had actually come from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Only, this voice was even more sluggish than before; the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk was extremely weak at this moment.

Tian Yuan was suspicious and astonished; earlier he had thought it was some mountain calling him, never expecting it to be the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Netherworld.

The Underworld had not yet been opened, and the Netherworld was a ruin; how could the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk already exist?

In the Original Work, the Witch-Demon Calamity saw Houtu embody Reincarnation, which then opened the Underworld.

Viewed this way, Houtu did not embody Reincarnation at all, but rather used her body to complete the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This might be the true reason why Houtu could no longer set foot in the Primordial World after embodying Reincarnation.

Houtu was the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but the Six Paths of Reincarnation was not Houtu.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk concerned the reincarnation of all living beings in the Primordial World, so it naturally could not appear on the Primordial World's land.

But the Six Paths of Reincarnation had long since evolved; why was it damaged?

The Netherworld fell beneath the Western World; could it have been shattered during the Demon-Dao Dispute? There was another point: why did the Six Paths of Reincarnation have consciousness? Like him? Or was it like Mount Buzhou, just a unique life form existing in the Primordial World?

If that were true, would the Sun Star, the Lunar Star, and the Fire Cloud Cave—the place of Humanity Luck—all have their own unique consciousnesses?

In the Primordial World opened by Pangu, besides the ten thousand races living between heaven and earth, were there also a group of special existences drifting outside the masses?

In the vision, he could clearly perceive the Six Paths of Reincarnation and could also see Houtu's figure.

But Houtu, standing in the Netherworld, merely looked strangely at the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk and did not know of his existence.

"Hoo!"

Tian Yuan took a deep breath, and before he could make a move, he suddenly saw Houtu wave her hand.

An ancient, grey stone bridge emerged and quickly fled toward the top.

Before long, a blood river piercing through the void appeared; it was the Wangchuan River.

The stone bridge did not slow down, crossing directly over and landing at one end beneath Mount Buzhou.

The stone bridge evolved by Houtu connected Mount Buzhou with the Netherworld.

With an inexplicable rhythm, Tian Yuan learned the origin of the stone bridge. Naihe Bridge, it was actually the legendary Naihe Bridge.

At this moment, Tian Yuan understood somewhat why the Naihe Bridge needed to be guarded by Houtu's incarnation, because it was the only path leading to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Almost the instant the ancient stone bridge landed, a will erupted from within Mount Buzhou, surging toward the Netherworld.

The tilted Six Paths Reincarnation Disk also trembled slightly, and an extremely faint will emerged, quickly sweeping toward Mount Buzhou.

The two wills met and merged on the Naihe Bridge, and instantly, an indescribable sensation arrived, making Tian Yuan unable to help but let out a moan.

At the same time, Tian Yuan could clearly feel the emotions of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which were filled with incomparable joy amidst the comfort.

Tian Yuan: A strange thought flashed through his mind; as the two wills commingled, Tian Yuan discovered that the will of Mount Buzhou was growing stronger.

Deep in the Netherworld, the milky-white halo shrouding the Six Paths of Reincarnation also became brighter.

The will of Mount Buzhou was repairing the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, and he himself was also receiving immense benefits.

Tian Yuan was overjoyed, but he quickly withdrew his focus; that feeling was simply too strange.

Although he had not investigated in detail, Tian Yuan already understood that the will emerging from the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk was definitely the Earthly Dao Will; Houtu was indeed the fated Lord of the Earthly Dao.

In all likelihood, the final mission of the Wu Clan was to guard the Netherworld.

Deep in the Netherworld, Houtu looked at the slightly vibrating Six Paths of Reincarnation, her eyes filled with deep joy.

It was not only because she had found her own Dao, but also because she had found the final destination for the Wu Clan.

Besides dredging and purifying the Earth Vein, the Wu Clan should belong to the Netherworld.

Looking at the Six Paths of Reincarnation already shrouded in a thick milky-white halo, Houtu leaped up and stepped onto the ancient stone bridge.

She had been down here for some time, and Houtu was somewhat worried about her brothers on the Primordial World's land.

And at this moment, Houtu was even more determined in her decision; she would help Tian Yuan bring all the Wu Clan in.

Just as her figure landed, she saw dark light surging; Houtu had arrived beneath the Earth Vein.

"What kind of existence is Brother Tian Yuan exactly?" Feeling the commingling wills on the Naihe Bridge, Houtu whispered softly.

Without Tian Yuan, she would absolutely not have had this opportunity.

She had obtained a heaven-defying fortune, yet Houtu knew even more of Tian Yuan's extraordinariness.

Gazing into the distance toward the Netherworld, she appeared in the Earth Vein and met Tian Yuan's gaze.
