Chapter 280 Houtu Empress
Naihe Bridge, the last step of reincarnation, ghosts come here, drink a bowl of Mengpo soup, forget all memories, and then they can be reincarnated.
At the same time, the blood sea is filthy, and if there is no bridge to connect the two sides, the ghosts will be unable to cross it.
"Naihe Bridge is here!"
Ao Bing whispered, and the world's desire for the next life spontaneously gathered together, forming a tall bluestone ancient bridge over the blood river.
This is the Naihe Bridge, with a bluestone deck and five steps. There are women on the west of the bridge and men on the east of the bridge, with yin on the left and yang on the right.
This bridge seems to be an illusory thing, but it is extremely hard. It is transformed by the will of all living beings. Even if the Daluo Jinxian comes, it cannot damage it in the slightest.
Ao Bing’s journey along the Huangquan Road, Guimen Pass, Fengdu City, Wangxiang Terrace, Sansheng Stone, and Naihe Bridge all seemed to have been built by him. In fact, this was not the case. They were built by all sentient beings. He just Go with the flow.
Since the creation of heaven and earth, all living beings' fear of death has gathered in the Netherworld, and it was their fear that was used by Ao Bing, and it turned into everything just now.
So, Ao Bing only played a guiding role in this matter, and it was all sentient beings who contributed. If not, how could Ao Bing create so many extraordinary places with his current ability.
What's even better is that the power of places like Huangquan Road and Fengdu City will continue to grow with the passage of time. This is the beauty of the will power of all living beings. It is not something Ao Bing can do. He cannot do this now.
After the Naihe Bridge was completed, Ao Bing did not hesitate, crossed the bridge directly, and came to the other side, where the six paths of reincarnation are.
Before reaching the other side, looking at this place, I felt a vast expanse. There was nothing but the endless cold air of the underworld.
When you reach the other side through the Naihe Bridge, the scenery in front of you suddenly changes. The endless cold air of the underworld disappears and is replaced by six huge whirlpools standing in mid-air.
These six whirlpools are the legendary six reincarnations, forming a circle and hanging in the air. They are all unfathomable and connect to unknown places.
At this time, no dead soul has entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation and been reincarnated, but this does not mean that the Six Paths of Reincarnation is not at work.
On the contrary, it has a great effect, and it is still rotating continuously, absorbing all kinds of filthy air between heaven and earth, causing it to reincarnate, and gradually transforming into innate spiritual energy to make up for the loss of heaven and earth.
Every time the Six Paths of Reincarnation rotates, the loss of heaven and earth will be reduced by one point, and life span will be extended by one point. It can be said that the merits are immeasurable. This is the reason why Queen Houtu has a high status.
Ao Bing just glanced at the Six Paths of Samsara and withdrew his gaze. Then, he saw him slowly walking forward, bowing to the vague temple behind the Six Paths of Samsara:
"Disciple Renlong, I have something to ask to see Empress Houtu."
With that said, Ao Bing took out a jade box and opened it. What was filled inside was the essence and blood of the ancestral witch Gonggong. It was red in color and crystal clear as jade, but it emitted a black divine light.
Black is the color of water. Among the five elements, the emperor whose attribute is water is called Black Emperor.
"It's Gonggong's breath, this is his essence and blood, even he has left me."
A long sigh sounded, wearing a yellow dress, his face The compassionate, benevolent goddess appeared silently in front of Ao Bing, picked up the jade box in his hand, and stared at the Gonggong essence and blood inside, with a sad look in her eyes.
The moment she saw this drop of essence and blood, Empress Houtu guessed the fate of Gonggong. He must have fallen. Otherwise, he would not deliberately leave a drop of essence and blood for others to inherit him. Location.
After the Lich Tribulation, nine of the eleven ancestral witches fell, leaving only Gonggong and Xuanming. But now, Gonggong has also left, and now only Xuan Ming is left.
The descendants of Pangu, who were once prosperous in the past, now really have only one seedling left.
Thinking of this, how can Empress Houtu not sigh and mourn? If she had not reincarnated, would the outcome of the Witch Clan have changed?
Thinking of what happened to the Wu clan, it was inevitable that Empress Houtu once again fell into deep self-blame, feeling that she had harmed the Wu clan.
However, Queen Houtu is one of the top supreme beings in the ancient world, and she is not a weak woman.
Therefore, her gaffe was only temporary. Soon, she calmed down all her emotions and looked at Ao Bing with a calm gaze.
"Brother did not misjudge the person. You are indeed a man of your word. After getting the essence and blood of the ancestral witch, you brought him back to the witch clan as promised."
"This love, witch The clan will never forget.”
“Watch you first. What you did before was to establish the Yinsi Division? It’s a good idea, but it’s very difficult.”
“Whether it’s the leader of the Styx, the Lord of Taishan Mansion, or other innate ghosts and gods, they will all be yours. Competitors.”
"Compared with them, except for your more complete plan, you have no advantage in other aspects, especially in terms of strength."
"However, our Witch Clan always repays kindness, you Since you are kind to my witch clan, I will help you and buy you three thousand years for you to develop your power. "
"At the same time, three thousand years later, no matter whether your plan succeeds or not, I will keep you safe and will never let anyone harm you in the Netherworld."
Houtu Empress Kai. On his own terms, he shielded Ao Bing from the secrets of heaven for three thousand years, which was considered as repayment for his favor of sending back the essence and blood of the ancestral witches.
Three thousand years is not a short time. Not to mention, Gonggong had already repaid the favor of returning the ancestral witch essence and blood.
Gonggong's companion spiritual treasure, the high-grade innate spiritual treasure Shui Lingzhu, was not given for nothing. It was the reward for returning the essence and blood of the ancestral witch to Ao Bing.
Logically speaking, since the reward has been given, there is no need for Queen Houtu to give Ao Bing another reward at this moment to repay the favor.
But who made Houtu Empress do things grandly, she insisted on giving Ao Bing two rewards. This is not only for Ao Bing to see, but also for everyone in the world to see.
Huntu Empress also understands the principle of buying horse bones with a thousand pieces of gold. In this way, she plans to tell everyone in the prehistoric era that as long as someone is willing to help the Wu Clan, she will not be stingy with the benefits.
“Disciple thanks the empress!”
Ao Bing naturally guessed Houtu Empress' intention, but he had nothing to lose.
On the contrary, as a horse bone among the horse bones bought with thousands of gold, he got benefits far beyond what he deserved. It was too late to be happy, so how could he be dissatisfied? He was not an insatiable person.
"You are very good, but your cultivation is not that good. If you had the cultivation of a quasi-sage, then things would be much simpler. With this kind of kindness, I will definitely fully support you in becoming the Nether Supreme."< br>
“Your plan seems to me, It's the most perfect, much better than the plan of Lord Taishan and the Master of Styx."
"They have been toiling in the Nether World for so long, but they haven't made any waves. It can be seen that their plan is. It doesn’t work.”
"But unfortunately, they don't realize this, or they don't want to believe this, and they still continue to mess around. It doesn't benefit the Netherworld at all, but it makes the order of the Netherworld even more chaotic."
Empress Houtu once again expressed her appreciation for Ao Bing. He even said bluntly that if he was a quasi-sage, he would fully support him in becoming the Nether Supreme.
This is not a joke, this is sincere. If possible, Empress Houtu would of course want to support the people of the Witch Clan to become the Supreme Lord of the Netherworld.
But the Witch Clan is stronger than the physical body and is born without a soul. It cannot adapt to the environment of the Netherworld at all, and there is absolutely no possibility of becoming the Netherworld Supreme. In this case, since she cannot support people from the Wu Clan, the best choice for Queen Hou Tu is to support people related to the Wu Clan.
And Ao Bing is the best candidate.
First of all, he has a relationship with the Wu clan. Sending the ancestral witch essence and blood back to the Witch Clan may seem simple, but in fact, his body has already been marked with the Witch Clan's mark.
Whether he admits it or not, in the eyes of outsiders, he is an ally of the Wu clan.
Secondly, Ao Bing's plan was perfect. For the first time, Houtu Empress saw the possibility of unifying the Netherworld and establishing an order in the Netherworld.
Having the ability and being one of her own, Queen Houtu has no reason not to support him.
It's a pity that Ao Bing's cultivation is too weak and he is just a golden immortal, so Empress Houtu can't push him to the throne of Netherworld Supreme even if she pushes hard.
There are many powerful people in the Netherworld, and if they are asked to surrender to a quasi-sage, then they will grit their teeth and let it pass for the sake of Empress Houtu.
It would be too humiliating to ask them to surrender to a little golden fairy, and it would not save anyone's face. It would be more practical to kill them.
“Three thousand years is enough time. Although it cannot allow me to become a quasi-sage, it can at least allow me to have a place in the Netherworld.”
“After that, who will rule the Netherworld? Ascending the throne of Netherworld Supreme depends on your own ability.”
Ao Bing said with great confidence that three thousand years would definitely not allow him to cultivate to the realm of quasi-sage, but it would be enough for him to have the power to compete with quasi-sage.
Anyway, with the three thousand years that Empress Houtu has given him, no matter how bad the future is, he will still be a giant in the Netherworld. He can rule the Netherworld together with other forces instead of being forced back to the human world.
"It's a good thing that you have confidence, then I'll wait and see."
Empress Houtu nodded, looking forward to Ao Bing's future performance. Three thousand years later, if Ao Bing's performance is really amazing, then her promise today will still be effective and she will fully support Ao Bing to become the Nether Supreme.
It’s hard to find a suitable candidate, but of course it’s impossible to give up simply. Three thousand years, it may be that Empress Houtu set a test for Ao Bing.
"Your Majesty, my disciple is not here for matters related to the underworld, but for matters of great merit, and I want to discuss them with the Witch Clan."
"I wonder if your Majesty is interested in this."
The Nether matter came to an end for the time being, and Ao Bing talked about another purpose of his visit, inviting people from the Wu clan to help sort out the earth's veins.
"Huh? Let's talk about the merits and virtues."
Hearing that it was related to the Wu clan, Empress Houtu became interested and asked Ao Bing to explain it carefully.
Nowadays, the Wu clan is in decline and they are in urgent need of merit and luck. Ao Bing has grasped her weakness, making it difficult for her to refuse.
"It's a long story..."
Next, Ao Bing explained in detail his plan to sort out the earth's veins and the role of the Wu clan in it.
"You are also intentional. The world has fallen to this point, and it is really rare for someone like you to be born who cares about the world and the common people."
"This is a great blessing for the common people. ”
"Such a good thing, naturally the Wu Clan cannot stay out of it. Let's do this. After a while, I will ask a few people to go to Longzhou to find you. You can just tell them what to do."
Houtu Empress's extremely keen consciousness Come, sort out the earth's veins and kill the ferocious beasts. This is the best chance for the Witch Clan to return to the earth.
So, she first praised Ao Bing, then agreed to his proposal and prepared to send someone to assist him.
The Wu clan has fallen to this point and made another big mistake that destroyed the world. Let alone dominate the world now, it is a great thing that they can hope for to regain their footing on the earth and let them atone for their sins.
In this case, there is no problem if they let Ao Bing take the lead.
If it were placed when the Wu Clan was at its peak, no matter how good Ao Bing’s plan was and no matter how big the background, it would still be dominated by the Wu Clan. Letting the Wu clan obey Ao Bing's orders is even more unthinkable.
“With the help of the Witch Clan, the earth will surely be revitalized. At that time, I don’t know how many people will be grateful for the contribution of the Witch Clan and ask them to return to the earth.”
See the Land Afterward. The empress agreed. Ao Bing said a lot of good things and they were also true. It was also a big mistake. Zhengdao shouted to beat and kill the demon clan, but did not mention it to the witch clan, deliberately downplaying their crimes.
Even the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West both have the intention to support the Wu clan. It sounds incredible, but it's true. If the Wu Clan was at its peak, the Saint would definitely not do this.
But now, the Wu clan has declined. In the eyes of the saint, they are complete losers and no longer a threat. In this case, the saint doesn't mind pulling the shaman into trouble to show his benevolence.
In the ancient times, was there anything more benevolent than showing kindness to the descendants of Pangu?
It can be said that bringing the Wu clan back to the earth is something that many people with great supernatural powers would like to see. They also didn't want to push the Wu clan too far, lest they gain a reputation for treating Pangu's descendants harshly.
Now that things have happened, the Wu clan has become a tool for everyone to gain prestige. The demon clan, on the other hand, has been reduced to a tool for achieving merit.
The return of the Wu Clan to the earth is what the people with great magical powers want. Ao Bing gives the Wu Clan this opportunity. After the people with great magical powers know about it, not only will they not stop it, but they will also secretly help, because this is their benevolence. The embodiment of virtue.
As for whether the Wu clan will become a threat to them after their return. If you think this way, you are underestimating the pattern of the powerful people in the ancient times.
When the Wu Clan was at its peak, they could all win. Now they are stronger, while the Wu Clan has long since declined.
Amidst the ebb and flow of one thing and another, if they still regard the Witch Clan as a threat and use every means to suppress it, wouldn’t their training for so many years have been in vain?
Also, by letting the Wu Clan return, they are not only showing their own kindness, but also telling the world that the Wu Clan is no longer on the same level as them.
Times have changed, but many people do not realize it, so let the return of the Witch Clan tell those stubborn people that the world today is different from the ancient times.
……
"By the way, there is one more thing, I need your help. In front of the Naihe Bridge, there must be a god who boils the water of the underworld to make people forget the past and present lives, so that they can go to reincarnation cleanly."
"This is especially important. It is important, but the disciple's strength is limited and no suitable candidate can be found. I still hope that the empress will show mercy and perfect Fengdu."
