Chapter 322: Underworld Conspiracy! The Fusion of Ancestral Witch Origins from Two Worlds?

Inside the Underworld.

Houtu of the Primordial World was casually browsing the Underworld of this world.

Suddenly, she felt something in her heart and looked in a certain direction, seeing that Xiyou Houtu had returned.

She could not help but smile slightly and went to greet Xiyou Houtu.

Xiyou Houtu stepped into the Underworld, her body surrounded by a faint air of majesty and solemnity. Her gaze swept across the Underworld, finally meeting the gaze of the Primordial World Houtu.

"You're back," the Primordial World Houtu said softly, her tone carrying a hint of imperceptible concern.

Xiyou Houtu nodded slightly, a flash of exhaustion in her eyes: "Yes, things have finally come to a temporary end. As for Zixiao Palace..."

She sighed softly and did not continue, but both of them knew clearly that the strife within Zixiao Palace was far more complex than imagined.

"I understand," the Primordial World Houtu responded softly. She reached out and patted Xiyou Houtu on the shoulder, "You've worked hard; leave the rest to me."

Hearing this, Xiyou Houtu could not help but feel a stir in her heart. Although she remained calm on the surface, she was very excited inside and asked via telepathy: "Could it be..."

The Primordial Houtu nodded with a smile and transmitted back: "The elder brothers have already found a portion of the Ancestral Witch origin of this world!"

It turned out that after Zhurong and the others entered this world, they discovered that their counterparts in this world had actually been killed, and they were all filled with shock and anger.

After learning the sequence of events, they immediately realized that all of this was the scheme of the Hongjun of this world!

While furious, they also secretly rejoiced that fortunately, a Lu Yun had appeared in their world, otherwise they might have met the same fate.

Subsequently, after some secret communication, they decided to take advantage of the fact that Houtu and Lu Yun were attracting the attention of Zixiao Palace to quietly take action in this world, searching for the origins of the past Ancestral Witches. The goal of doing so was naturally to perform a fusion! This was something the Primordial Houtu had deduced: as long as the Primordial Ancestral Witches fused with the Ancestral Witch origins of this world, they would not only be able to strengthen themselves but also allow the suppressed Earthly Dao of this world to revive! And this plan was something the Primordial Houtu had communicated to Xiyou Houtu after meeting her.

One must know that the Earthly Dao of this world had been almost completely suppressed by the Heavenly Dao; if not for this, it would have been impossible to revive.

Furthermore, her sisters and brothers had already fallen; if they could reappear in this way, it could be considered a form of rebirth! Therefore, after some hesitation, Xiyou Houtu finally agreed.

Moreover, in order for the Primordial Ancestral Witches to fuse with the origins of the Xiyou Ancestral Witches, she had to act personally. Of course, this matter could not let Hongjun know.

Thus, at this moment, Xiyou Houtu quickly calmed her mood and said solemnly to the Primordial Houtu: "Fellow Daoist, the subsequent reform of the Underworld is left to you! I have gained some insights from our previous exchange and need to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation for closed-door cultivation!"

"Very well, rest assured in your cultivation; I will handle the affairs of the Underworld properly," the Primordial World Houtu promised solemnly, her tone revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Xiyou Houtu nodded slightly, gave the Primordial Houtu a grateful look, and then her figure flickered, turning into a stream of light that rushed directly into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The light of the Six Paths of Reincarnation seemed to brighten a bit at this moment, as if welcoming the return and deep exploration of Xiyou Houtu.

After seeing Xiyou Houtu off, the Primordial World Houtu turned to face the ghost generals and ghost soldiers of the Underworld. Her voice echoed in the empty Underworld, carrying an unquestionable majesty: "From now on, the Underworld will undergo a series of reforms aimed at restoring the power of the Earthly Dao and making the path of Reincarnation more just and orderly. You must cooperate fully; there must be no errors!"

Upon hearing this, the ghost generals and ghost soldiers knelt on the ground one after another and replied in unison: "As you command!"

The Primordial World Houtu nodded with satisfaction and immediately began to arrange the matters for the reform of the Underworld.

... Meanwhile, beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the midst of Chaos.

Qinglian Daoist led the disciples of the Jie Sect through layers of Chaos and finally arrived at the location where Tongtian Jiaozhu was about to open up the Shangqing Sacred Realm.

They saw that in the Chaos ahead, a massive fluctuation of spiritual power was constantly gathering, as if an invisible force was opening up a new world.

"Master!" Zhao Gongming shouted excitedly, tears glistening in his eyes—that was his endless longing and reverence for his master.

The other Jie Sect disciples also knelt on the ground one after another, piously worshipping the world that was being opened up.

Just at this moment, a massive pressure radiated from within that Chaos, and immediately after, a figure slowly walked out; it was none other than the true form of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

He wore a Daoist robe and held the Qingping Sword, his body surrounded by dense sword intent and magical power fluctuations, as if an invincible Sword God had descended into the mortal world.

"Master!" the Jie Sect disciples shouted one after another, their voices filled with excitement and joy.

Tongtian Jiaozhu swept his gaze gently over every disciple, his eyes flashing with gratification and kindness: "You have come."

Zhao Gongming and the others stepped forward one after another, surrounding Tongtian Jiaozhu, telling him of their longing and experiences over these years.

Tongtian Jiaozhu listened quietly to the words of his disciples, his heart filled with emotion.

He knew that the road to the revival of the Jie Sect was still long, but with these loyal and brave disciples, he believed that the Jie Sect would surely be able to rise again.

"Alright, time is pressing, let us begin," Tongtian Jiaozhu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the Jie Sect disciples were somewhat confused for a moment.

Because what Tongtian Jiaozhu said was "us," not "me."

But these people had just recovered their physical bodies and their cultivation had not yet been restored; for something like opening up a Daoist temple, they could not help at all!

However, everyone soon relaxed, thinking that what Tongtian meant must be himself and his Good Corpse, Qinglian Daoist.

But soon they discovered that this was not the case.

Because, as Tongtian Jiaozhu's voice fell, another figure actually walked out from the Chaos.

They looked closely and saw that this person was actually quite similar to their master, Tongtian Jiaozhu!

Their first thought was: Could this be another corpse cut by their master? But they clearly sensed that the aura emanating from this person far exceeded that of Qinglian Daoist! Logically speaking, as one of the Three Corpses, their strength should be about the same! Just as everyone was in doubt, Jinling Shengmu suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that this senior is... the Tongtian Jiaozhu from another world?"

Hearing this, everyone remembered that there had indeed been such rumors appearing recently, and for a time, the members of the Jie Sect were all filled with wonder. (End of chapter)
