Chapter 207: Opening a New World

Beneath Mount Sumeru in the Western World, Nuwa carefully avoided the numerous Dao Patterns in the surroundings.

"This Mount Sumeru is the dojo of Jieyin and Zhunti; why are there so many array patterns?" In Nuwa's pair of Chaos eyes, wisps of doubt flashed by.

The Western Region is barren, with hardly any living beings; many great supernatural beings had long since fled to the Eastern Land.

Jieyin and Zhunti possess no weak cultivation, and now that they are Heavenly Dao Saints, why would they need to be so cautious?

Even on the Kunlun Mountain of the Three Pure Ones, there are not this many arrays.

A Saint's dojo is covered in Saintly might year-round; what need is there for powerful arrays to guard it?

More importantly, from the fluctuations emanating from the surroundings, Nuwa realized these arrays were ancient and not recently laid out.

On Mount Sumeru, the location of the Western Ancestral Vein, there truly is a great secret hidden.

Enveloped in faint Creation Power, Nuwa avoided the flickering array patterns one by one and silently slipped into Mount Sumeru.

During the Demon-Dao Dispute, the Western Earth Veins were detonated by Luo Hou, but since the Ancestral Vein Mount Sumeru remains, the Earth Veins must have a day of recovery.

She should have thought of it earlier; the Demon Qi emanating from the Earth Veins must be related to Mount Sumeru.

"Strange! Strange! These arrays do not seem to have been laid out by Jieyin or Zhunti!" As she delved deeper, the doubt in Nuwa's heart grew even stronger.

To be able to block her, a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, they were certainly not laid out by an ordinary person.

Although Jieyin and Zhunti have some ability, their mastery of arrays is not this remarkable; she had suspected this before, and now it is further confirmed.

If not the work of Jieyin or Zhunti, could it be the Demon Ancestor Luohou, or perhaps that person in Purple Heaven Palace? Nuwa was unsure, but there was no doubt that there was a major problem beneath Mount Sumeru.

Amidst the many flickering array patterns, Nuwa's figure glided slowly.

Finally, a faint, dim light flickered ahead, and Nuwa hurriedly increased her speed.

Inside Mount Sumeru, there is another space, a darkness that stretches as far as the eye can see; looking toward the ground, it even seems to reveal a deep crimson.

Raising her head to glance at the sky above, Nuwa leaped and swept toward the depths below.

Crimson blood-Qi drifted through the void, not the Demon Qi Nuwa had imagined.

Blood Fiend Qi permeated the entire space, casting a strange crimson hue over the otherwise dark world.

"Is this the aura of the Sea of Blood?" Looking at the many blood-Qi circling in the air before her, Nuwa frowned deeply.

The Nether Blood Sea is beneath the Western Land, but it is still quite a distance from Mount Sumeru.

It would be one thing if that Sea of Blood leaked into the Consciousness Space, but now it is even beneath Mount Sumeru? Thinking this, Nuwa increased her speed and fled downward.

Minghe has already been suppressed by Tian Yuan after breaking into the Consciousness Space; perhaps she should find time to visit the Netherworld.

As her figure descended rapidly, Nuwa's expression gradually became grave.

She is a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal; her speed is incredibly fast, yet before her was still a space seeping with blood-red, and it was bottomless below.

After flying for a while longer, Nuwa stopped in mid-air, a look of contemplation on her face.

It had been quite some time; at her speed, the distance covered was immense, so it was impossible for the scene to remain the same.

With a dark face, Nuwa carefully sensed the surroundings, but there was nothing unusual, which clearly did not make sense.

"Will! It is because of the Will!" Nuwa thought of the firmament of the Consciousness Space.

Before the Sun Star and Lunar Star manifested, the firmament was boundless and endless, without a finish, just like what was before her.

Taking a deep breath, Nuwa did not expect that there would be such a scene beneath Mount Sumeru.

She calmed her heart and began to mobilize the meager amount of Humanity Will within her.

Her Dao was established upon the Human Race, but since the Human Race is now in decline, Nuwa does not possess a vast gathering of Humanity Will like Hongyun.

As the Will on her body dispersed, the surrounding void rippled, and the space within the waves began to brighten.

The dim light receded, the blood-Qi faded, and she could vaguely see a colossal object.

But after only a moment, Nuwa sighed softly.

The void rippled slightly, and everything returned to its original state; that space was no longer visible. "It seems I must have Brother Tian Yuan come here!"

The Will gathered on her was too weak to communicate with the space hidden in the shadows.

Although Nuwa has proven the Dao to Hunyuan and is a Humanity Saint, the Will gathered on her cannot be compared to Hongyun or Houtu, let alone Tian Yuan.

Ultimately, it is because the Human Race has not yet risen, and the Saint Fruit Position of Humanity does not appear powerful.

Looking around with regret, Nuwa did not linger and leaped to fly upward.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, she saw layers of arrays covering the air before her; the time taken was far less than when she had come down.

Although she did not discover the specifics on this trip, she already knew there was a great oddity beneath Mount Sumeru. As long as Tian Yuan comes, he will surely be able to discern everything.

Avoiding that crowd of arrays, Nuwa left Mount Sumeru with practiced ease.

After proving the Dao to Hunyuan, Nuwa felt even more the extraordinariness of the Primordial World; as a mere Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, she feared she could not discover more secrets of this world.

A small Mount Sumeru had stumped her.

Will—only by gathering the Heaven and Earth Will can one come into contact with more.

At this moment, Nuwa understood in her heart why even with the ability of Hongjun, he chose to merge his body with the Dao.

By using his body to complete the Heavenly Dao, he could grasp the Heavenly Dao Will. As for the schemes of the Three Pure Ones and others, perhaps they also trended toward the goal of Will.

As a Humanity Saint, she is closely linked to the Human Race, and Nuwa planned to walk along the banks of the Weishui.

She would observe the situation of the Human Race and also see how the Dao of her brother Fuxi was progressing.

However, before that, Nuwa first had to make a trip to the Netherworld.

The Sea of Blood, located in the depths of the Netherworld, seemed to reveal many oddities.

Taking a step forward, she saw rolling waves of blood surging, and the crimson Blood Fiend Qi rushed toward her.

In the scattering blood mist, one could see the figures of many wandering souls and the Asura Race.

Minghe has already been suppressed by Tian Yuan, but the Sea of Blood continues to create the Asura Clan.

With Reincarnation incomplete and the Underworld not established, the world is full of wandering souls, and she, Nuwa, cannot stop it.

Only when the Six Paths emerge and Reincarnation opens will these wandering souls have a place to return to.

Nuwa frowned slightly, and a powerful Divine Sense surged out, roughly enveloping the Sea of Blood.

As Nuwa's powerful Saint might swept over, that group of Asura Race and wandering souls all trembled and prostrated on the ground in fear.

The Mosquito Daoist, hiding in the deepest part of the Sea of Blood, also sensed it at the very first moment.

The might that crashed down upon his head made him tremble as well, his body unable to move.

Fortunately, that aura swept past without focusing on him, but the Mosquito Daoist still dared not move recklessly.

Nuwa tried to mobilize her limited will, but it was rapidly eroded by the Sea of Blood.

That she was actually unable to investigate the Sea of Blood with the Humanity Will left Nuwa quite astonished.

"It seems I must still rely on Tian Yuan or Houtu." Houtu is the Lord of the Earthly Dao; she might know something about matters in the Netherworld.

Having originally wanted to help Tian Yuan while she had the chance, only to find she could do nothing, Nuwa felt a wave of frustration in her heart.

Withdrawing her Divine Sense, Nuwa shook her head and headed straight for the Eastern Land.

All methods had been tried, and she had no other choice; for now, she still had to strengthen the Humanity Will she wielded.

On Mount Sumeru, the seated Jieyin and Zhunti opened their eyes simultaneously, their chaotic eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.

"Senior Brother, why did Nuwa go to the Nether Blood Sea?" Zhunti felt puzzled. After Nuwa had disappeared for a time, he had thought she returned to Mount Buzhou; he had not expected her to appear quietly in the Netherworld.

The other party's undisguised fluctuations were detected by him at the first moment.

Minghe was suppressed by Tian Yuan; there was no reason for Nuwa not to know this. Could it be that the Sea of Blood still held secrets? Jieyin's sallow face also revealed confusion.

The aura of the Sea of Blood made them feel disgusted, but being so close, both of them had been there many times.

Last time, Zhunti even went to capture the Asura Clan and did not discover anything different about the Sea of Blood.

Looking toward the Netherworld, Jieyin replied softly: "Perhaps there is something unusual about the matter of Minghe."

Nuwa is now a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal; for her to personally make a trip, it was certainly no simple matter.

"Shall I go to the Sea of Blood for a stroll?" Zhunti suggested in a low voice.

Nuwa had already left, and Minghe had lost his trail; it could be investigated carefully at any time.

"Good!" Jieyin performed a Buddhist Verse and quietly closed his eyes.

The matter of Nuwa was too strange and worth a trip.

The Lotus Platform beneath Zhunti rotated, carrying him away from the great hall.

When he appeared again, Zhunti had already arrived above the Sea of Blood; he did not act as he had last time, but instead, his vast Divine Sense surged out, enveloping the entire Sea of Blood.

The moment his Divine Sense touched the blood water, it suffered erosion, but as a dignified Heavenly Dao Saint, his Divine Sense was immense, and it still surged wildly toward the depths, easily enveloping the entire Sea of Blood.

"Eh! I almost forgot this fellow!" Under his Divine Sense, Zhunti discovered a trembling figure.

The Mosquito Daoist, another exotic beast birthed by the Sea of Blood.

With a light flick of his sleeve, the Mosquito Daoist, who had been hiding in the deepest part of the Sea of Blood, appeared before him.

Seeing Zhunti on the Lotus Platform, the Mosquito Daoist was greatly alarmed and was about to use the Blood Escape Technique to flee.

Nuwa had just left, and he had not expected Zhunti to come as well, easily capturing him.

Even though he had the Sea of Blood as his reliance, he had not expected to be nothing in front of a Heavenly Dao Saint.

His blood-colored wings on his back fluttered rapidly, but the surrounding space was shrinking rapidly; under an inexplicable great power, his body also began to shrink continuously.

Even in a space the size of an eyeball, the Mosquito Daoist fled frantically, but it was to no avail.

Seeing this, Zhunti smiled and directly took him into his sleeve: "This trip was not in vain!"

The Mosquito Daoist's cultivation and origin were quite good, and more importantly, his relationship with the Sea of Blood was extraordinary.

Now that Minghe was missing, if this Mosquito Daoist were taken back to Mount Sumeru and trained, he could be used to control the Nether Blood Sea.

Capturing the Mosquito Daoist was just a casual act; Zhunti's Divine Sense still swept through the Sea of Blood, but unfortunately, there were no discoveries.

"What exactly is Nuwa looking for?" Zhunti stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over those Asura figures.

After pondering for a long time, a flash of light appeared in Zhunti's eyes, and immediately, a faint will rose from his body.

Since Divine Sense was useless, perhaps he would discover something by borrowing the Heavenly Dao Will.

The formless will had just probed out when a 'hum' echoed from the Sea of Blood below.

"Hoo!" Zhunti took a deep breath, and golden light flared in his eyes.

Almost at the same time, rosy light rose nearby, and Jieyin's body emerged from the void.

Although he was stationed on Mount Sumeru, he still kept an eye on Zhunti's movements at all times; using will to hook into the Sea of Blood was definitely not a simple matter.

A faint Heavenly Dao Will also rose from the manifested Jieyin; they converged in one place and probed toward the Sea of Blood below.

Nether light flickered, and ripples seemed to rise on the Sea of Blood; within the rising blood mist, a world faintly emerged.

Looking at each other, Jieyin and Zhunti had eyes filled with disbelief.

Their Primordial Spirits were entrusted to the Heavenly Dao; they had not expected the Heavenly Dao Will to have such a marvelous use.

The two, excited in their hearts, hurriedly exerted the Heavenly Dao Will they wielded with all their might.

As the numerous wills poured in, the images within the many blood mists began to become clear; it was unexpectedly, faintly, another pool of blood.

The scene manifested before them made the two feel even more heated in their hearts; they thought of the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

It turned out that within this Nether Blood Sea, there was actually another world hidden.

In that case, it was very likely that Minghe had obtained good fortune inside, which was why he had not appeared for so long.

Nuwa coming to the Western Land might also be searching for this world.

Thinking of the chance to obtain the same blessed fate as Tian Yuan, Jieyin and Zhunti unconsciously revealed a smile on their faces.

Tian Yuan was originally an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon; being able to become so powerful was entirely due to Mount Buzhou. And it was only through the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space that he had broken through so quickly.

Now that they had discovered such a secret place in the Sea of Blood, if they could seize Minghe's opportunity, they could also soar to the heavens.

Thinking of how they were dignified Heavenly Dao Saints, yet repeatedly suffered setbacks at the hands of Nuwa and Tian Yuan, the Western Two Sages felt a wave of annoyance.

But in the next second, the two stared blankly, gazing fixedly at the emerging image.

By the side of the Sea of Blood revealed in the vision, a figure sat quietly, having an inexplicable connection with the Sea of Blood.

That person was not Minghe as they had guessed, but Houtu, one of the twelve Ancestral Witches.

"Senior Brother, how can this be?" Zhunti's face revealed his confusion.

Houtu was in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, dedicated to dredging and purifying the Earth Veins; how did she get involved with the Sea of Blood?

Could it be that Minghe was suppressed by Tian Yuan, thus allowing Houtu to seize the opportunity?

But if that were the case, why did Nuwa come to the Nether Blood Sea? Jieyin and Zhunti were filled with confusion, and the two could not help but think of the long-missing Di Jun and Taiyi.

There are secrets on Mount Buzhou, and there are secrets in the Nether Blood Sea; the Sun Star and Lunar Star must certainly not be simple either.

These two Demon Emperors very likely also obtained great opportunities in the Starry Sky.

"Hoo!" Jieyin and Zhunti both took a deep breath at the same time.

They realized that the Primordial World before them was not at all as simple as they had imagined, and will is the only way to communicate.

Whether it be a Heavenly Dao Saint or a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, it is truly only a beginning.

In a trance, the two felt a new world suddenly open up before their eyes.

Suppressing the shock in their hearts, the Western Two Sages cautiously controlled that faint Heavenly Dao Will.

Through the blood mist rising and surging, one could faintly see that beyond the Sea of Blood, there was another vast space; seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti were even more shocked, for the world inside this Sea of Blood might far exceed their imagination.

At this moment, in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, by the side of the Nether Blood Sea.

Houtu, who was in deep meditation, frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

As the Lord of the Earthly Dao, refining the Earthly Dao Will shrouding the Sea of Blood was naturally easy for her.

In this short span of time, not only had she benefited greatly, but the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk had also been repaired significantly.

It was just that, a moment ago, she felt an inexplicable will peeking.

In the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, Tian Yuan would certainly not do such a thing, which left Houtu greatly puzzled.

Houtu, having opened her eyes, looked up and her gaze instantly constricted.

Jieyin and Zhunti—she had actually caught sight of the Western Two Sages!
