Chapter 326: Pangu Hall! The Fusion of Ancestral Witch Origins from Two Worlds!
The Underworld, deep within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Xiyou Houtu arrived before a towering great hall.
This great hall was none other than the sacred site of the former Wu Clan—Pangu Hall! Ever since the end of the ancient Witch-Demon War and the death of the other Ancestral Witches, Pangu Hall had been kept by Houtu within these Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Yet, Houtu herself had not entered it again.
Because her heart was filled with guilt, always feeling that it was her own transformation into Reincarnation that had ultimately led to the deaths of her brothers and sisters.
But today, she had finally come before this hall once more, preparing to welcome the arrival of the Ancestral Witches from another world! Xiyou Houtu took a deep breath, calmed the excitement and trepidation in her heart, and slowly pushed open the heavy, ancient doors of Pangu Hall.
Inside the hall, the light was dim, with only a few faint wisps of Spirit Light filtering in from the high windows, illuminating the massive statue of Pangu in the center. The statue was lifelike, as if it contained endless power and majesty.
Carved all around were the images of the twelve Ancestral Witches, as if they were still guarding this sacred land.
As the doors opened, an ancient and familiar aura rushed toward her, and Xiyou Houtu could not help but feel an indescribable surge of excitement and emotion.
"Brothers, sister, I am back," Xiyou Houtu said softly, her voice echoing in the empty hall, carrying a hint of a tremor.
Xiyou Houtu walked slowly into the hall, her gaze fixed on the surrounding statues with tenderness and complexity.
She whispered softly: "Brothers, sister, today, I will bring you new hope."
Just then, the space within the hall suddenly rippled, as if something were crossing over from another space.
Xiyou Houtu stared intently at the center of the ripples, seeing several figures gradually becoming clear.
When those eleven figures fully manifested, Xiyou Houtu could not help but have tears in her eyes.
"Big Brother!"
"Second Brother!"
"Sister!"
Xiyou Houtu called out excitedly, her voice filled with endless longing and joy.
Those figures were dressed in animal skins with majestic countenances; they were indeed the Ancestral Witches from the Great Desolation world—Dijiang, Jumang, Rushou, Gonggong, Zhurong, Gonggong, Qiang Liang, Zhujiuyin, Shebishi, and Houtu's sister, Xuanming.
"Little Sister Houtu!"
Ancestral Witch Dijiang spoke first, his voice filled with excitement and emotion, "We have finally met!"
This address of "little sister" instantly made Xiyou Houtu's eyes redden.
Although she knew these were not her original brothers and sister, it still stirred her emotions.
She stepped forward quickly and said with a smile: "Brothers, sister, welcome."
Dijiang already knew everything that had happened to her, and at this moment, he stepped forward and embraced her.
The other Ancestral Witches also stepped forward one by one to embrace Xiyou Houtu, and the hall was filled with the joy and warmth of reunion.
After things calmed down slightly, Ancestral Witch Xuanming spoke: "Little sister, are you sure you want us to act according to the plan?" Xiyou Houtu knew she was referring to them merging with the Ancestral Witch origins of this world.
She took a deep breath and said firmly: "I am sure! Since the brothers and sister here can no longer be reborn anyway, it is better to use this to achieve your greatness, and incidentally allow my Earthly Dao to revive, gain the strength to oppose Hongjun, and take revenge! I believe the brothers and sister here would surely support this!"
The Ancestral Witches of the Great Desolation looked at each other and made their final decision.
Jumang said: "Since that is the case, let us begin! From now on, you are also our little sister!"
"Then, what should we do next?" Xiyou Houtu asked in a low voice, her eyes flashing with determination, "No matter the cost, I must make the Earthly Dao rise again!"
Dijiang smiled slightly and said: "Rest assured, we already have a plan. We will use this Pangu Hall and the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation you control to merge our origins with the Ancestral Witch origins of this world. This will not only allow our strength to recover and increase, but it will also allow the Earthly Dao to revive in this world."
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witches all showed expressions of excitement.
They knew that with their original aptitude, reaching the Sub-Saint realm in the Great Desolation world was the limit, but if they added the Ancestral Witch origins of this world, they could directly attain the Hunyuan realm!
This was their only chance, and it was a chance they had to seize.
Xiyou Houtu did not delay either, saying: "There is no time to lose. While Hongjun and the others are still unaware of our actions, let us begin!"
As Xiyou Houtu's words fell, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy and solemn.
Ancestral Witch Dijiang nodded, walked slowly to the Pangu statue in the center of the hall, and gently touched the cold stone statue with both hands, as if engaging in some mysterious communication with their ancient ancestor.
"Brothers and sisters, let us begin," Dijiang said in a deep voice, his voice echoing in the hall, filled with irresistible majesty.
The other Ancestral Witches also stepped forward, sat cross-legged around the Pangu statue, closed their eyes, focused their minds, and began to mobilize the power within their bodies.
Xiyou Houtu stood to the side, forming seals with her hands, guiding the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to slowly pour into Pangu Hall. With the infusion of the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the space within the hall began to distort slightly, as if some ancient and powerful force was being awakened.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the Pangu statue in the center of the hall erupted with dazzling light, and a massive amount of Chaos Qi surged out from the statue, instantly filling the entire hall. This power was ancient and mighty, as if it contained the mysteries of creating the world.
"Is this the true power left behind by the Father God?" Xiyou Houtu was shocked, knowing well the terror and preciousness of this power.
In her current state, she could not have triggered it directly, but now, because Dijiang and the others had reached the Sub-Saint state, they were able to trigger this power by joining forces.
At the same time, the Ancestral Witches of the Great Desolation also felt the call of this power; they opened their eyes, which flashed with determination and anticipation.
"Begin the fusion!" Ancestral Witch Dijiang shouted in a low voice, and he and the other Ancestral Witches mobilized their internal origin power to merge with this Chaos Qi.
Brilliant rays of light flickered on the bodies of the Ancestral Witches, and their figures gradually became blurred and illusory, as if they were merging with the surrounding Chaos Qi.
At the same time, strange energies floated from their bodies—these were the Ancestral Witch origins they had collected from all over the Journey to the West World! Xiyou Houtu sensed the familiar aura emitted by these origins, and in a trance, she felt as if she were seeing her former sister and brothers again, feeling incredibly moved.
After the excitement, Xiyou Houtu continued to guide the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, providing a steady stream of energy support for the Ancestral Witches' fusion. Her face was pale and exhausted, but she gritted her teeth and persisted, for she knew this concerned the revival of the Earthly Dao and the rebirth of her brothers and sister.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment; within the entire Pangu Hall, there was only the surging of Chaos Qi and the low chanting of the Ancestral Witches.
Xiyou Houtu watched them with great anticipation, but suddenly sensed that her own power was beginning to grow rapidly! She was stunned for a moment, and then she understood: "This is... the Earthly Dao has revived!" (End of chapter)
