Chapter 254 Attaining Sainthood? The Human Race Mysteriously Disappears?
And so, the words "reincarnation" kept repeating in Houtu's mind.
The more she thought about it, the more moved she became.
The few simple words spoken by Niu Ben were like a ray of dawn, instantly illuminating the fog in Houtu's mind!
The next moment, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
An unprecedented light of enlightenment shone from his eyes.
The opportunity that had always seemed vague to her was now presented with unparalleled clarity in Houtu's Dao heart.
"yes!"
"The place of reincarnation, the place of rebirth!"
Houtu murmured aloud.
Immediately afterwards, her body involuntarily rose into the sky above the sea of blood.
"this?"
"What's going on?"
Upon seeing this, the Styx Ancestor looked completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.
Niu Ben, who was standing nearby, saw this and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.
She knew that her earlier advice had given Houtu, the ancestral witch, new insights.
"boom!"
Just then, from the depths of the void, a vast and boundless unknown power suddenly descended upon the Netherworld Blood Sea, and then plunged straight into the body of the Ancestral Witch Houtu.
This power is vast and ancient, seemingly originating from the primordial will of the primordial world.
"What?"
As the terrifying power, like the Milky Way pouring out of the sky, surged into Houtu Ancestral Witch's body, Styx Ancestor was completely stunned!
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"What... what's going on?"
The Styx Ancestor muttered in astonishment, his expression filled with bewilderment.
No one expected that Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, would simply step into the depths of the Blood Sea and hear some inexplicable words from Niu Ben, which would cause such a terrifying power to descend upon the primordial world.
He could clearly sense that the descending power was of an extremely high level.
It even caused the entire source of the Blood Sea to tremble!
Compared to the shock of the Styx Ancestor.
Niu Ben, on the other hand, appeared much more composed and said calmly:
"Ancestor Styx".
"It seems that the Ancestral Witch Houtu is about to attain sainthood!"
As soon as Niu Ben uttered these words, the Styx Ancestor's pupils shrank dramatically.
"What?"
"To attain enlightenment and become a saint?"
Niu Ben's simple words exploded in the mind of the Styx Ancestor like a thunderclap from the heavens.
"This...how is this possible?"
"To become a saint?"
"How could Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, become a saint without even the Primordial Purple Qi?"
"Could she be trying to emulate Pangu and prove her Dao through force? But that doesn't seem like it!"
Styx said in a daze, his mind buzzing and completely blank.
I simply can't understand how Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, could become a saint without any foundation for sainthood.
"Could it be...could it be that the Primordial Purple Qi on Hongyun's body was obtained by the Ancestral Witch Houtu?"
"That's not right!"
"That wisp of purple energy was stolen by a giant tortoise."
"Could it have fallen into Houtu's hands?"
The Styx Ancestor was lost in thought.
Back then, Kunpeng and others from the demon race intercepted Hongyun, wanting to seize the Primordial Purple Qi from his body.
At the critical moment, the Styx Ancestor also chose to make a move.
They wanted to possess the Primordial Purple Qi for themselves.
As long as he obtains the Primordial Purple Qi and returns to the Netherworld Blood Sea, he will fear no one.
After all, by relying on the Netherworld Blood Sea, he is an immortal being; as long as the Blood Sea does not dry up, the River Styx will never die!
Even a sage would not dare to dry up the Netherworld Blood Sea, for such karma and cause and effect would be unbearable for a sage, and he might even fall from his sagehood.
Niu Ben paid no attention to the shock of the Styx Ancestor.
The Styx River may not know this, but Niu Ben knows it all too well.
Houtu attained sainthood here without needing the primordial purple energy that forms the basis for sainthood.
Although the Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation of the Great Dao and an indispensable element for achieving sainthood through merit.
However, by using his own body to make up for the deficiencies of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, his actions moved Heaven and Earth, and his virtue benefited all living beings.
Such actions will naturally bestow supreme merit upon the primordial world, helping him achieve sainthood.
Seeing that Niu Ben did not respond, the Styx Ancestor opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but then he fell silent.
Then, he quickly turned his gaze to Houtu, the ancestral witch.
I want to see how Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, would attain sainthood without the Primordial Purple Qi.
……
Meanwhile, the ancestral home of the human race, Mount Kongtong, is located there.
The three ancestors, Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi, were discussing important matters at this time.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.
"Third Ancestor, something terrible has happened!"
When people arrive, their voices precede their arrival.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, all three patriarchs frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.
Upon closer inspection, they saw the leader of a human tribe hurriedly enter.
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
Suirenzu asked in a deep voice.
The human leader didn't hesitate and quickly said:
"Reporting to the Third Ancestor, recently, the human race under my command have been mysteriously disappearing."
"Neither alive nor dead!"
Upon hearing the report from the human leader, the Third Ancestor's expression suddenly darkened.
"Ancestor Suiren, recently, many tribal leaders have come to report that many people from their tribes have gone missing!"
"All things considered, the number of missing persons is quite substantial!"
"Ziyi Zu said with a solemn expression."
"How could this happen?"
Suirenzu spoke with a hint of doubt, his face turning grim.
The three ancestors had received numerous reports from tribal leaders regarding similar situations.
At first, the Third Patriarch didn't take it seriously.
After all, the human beings that were born later were far less physically powerful than those of the naturally born human race.
The primordial land was inherently extremely dangerous, so it was not uncommon for some members of the human race to go missing.
However, nowadays, people from various human tribes are disappearing one after another, and there are quite a few of them, which has made the Three Ancestors take notice.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Recently, there has been no major war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, and it has not affected our human race."
"The vast, untamed land is utterly peaceful!"
"But many of my human race have already gone missing."
Youchao Zu said with a solemn expression.
At this moment, Suiren Zu looked at the tribal chief:
"You may return now. I will report this matter to the Emperor later, and we will take further action after the Emperor has made his decision!"
"yes!"
The human leader bowed in agreement and then rose to leave.
Then, the three patriarchs exchanged glances, and in a flash, disappeared from the spot.
When they appeared, the three patriarchs had already arrived at the Human Emperor's Palace.
Huang Tian was practicing the martial arts techniques taught by Niu Ben when he saw the Third Ancestor arrive, so he naturally got up to greet him.
"Third Ancestors, what brings you here?"
The Third Ancestor bowed deeply to the Heavenly Emperor.
Subsequently, Suiren Zu did not hide anything and informed Huangtian about the missing persons reports from various human tribes.
"Um?"
"Missing?"
"How could so many people suddenly disappear?"
Huang Tian exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, the Human Emperor!"
"If only a small number of people go missing, it's within the normal range."
"But nowadays, many human tribes are experiencing large numbers of people disappearing without a trace, which is quite suspicious."
