Investiture of the Gods Xiao Sheng, the Poor Taoist Priest, Even Rogue Cultivators Have Human Rights

Chapter 122 Heaven's Calculation! Revealing the Real Reason Why Hou Tu Failed to Attain the DaoChapter 122 Heaven’s Calculation! Revealing the Real Reason Why Hou Tu Failed to Attain the Dao!

Hou Tu sighed softly, and she said solemnly: ”In those ancient times, our preparations were indeed thorough. Each ancestor witch contributed a drop of his or her own spiritual blood, supplemented by most of the essence in Pangu’s blood sea, thus forging a flawless ancestor witch’s true body. As long as my soul can be promoted to the holy realm, I can reside in this body and become a true sage.”

”However, unfortunately, we were plotted against by the Heavenly Dao. It used the innate human blood to taint that body, turning it into Chi You, the thirteenth ancestor of the witch clan. Although Chi You is gifted, this only ancestor witch’s true body no longer belongs to me, so I can’t use it to achieve enlightenment.”

After hearing this, Xiao Sheng fell silent. He understood why Hou Tu failed.

He seemed to be able to see the scene at that moment: under the pressure of Heaven, even though they knew they were no match, the Wu Clan still fought bravely and launched a world-shaking battle with the Demon Clan, and once gained the upper hand. But at the crucial moment, Heaven’s calculations quietly came, and all their plans were destroyed, and the huge Wu Clan disappeared.

The blood flowing in his body trembled slightly, as if he heard the unwilling roars of the ancient witches coming from ancient times.

Those creatures fought with all their might, but ultimately they were defeated by fate.

”Is there still a way to help you be reborn?” Xiao Sheng asked in a low voice. He had formed a deep bond with Hou Tu because of the fusion of Pangu’s essence and blood, and he didn’t want to see her die.

”There is no hope anymore.” Hou Tu smiled calmly. At this moment, her attitude was extremely open-minded, as if she had already seen through everything.

”If I really want to be resurrected, I need to find a body. In the vast wilderness today, only you who have absorbed Pangu’s blood can meet the requirements.”

”But how can I take your body? If I do so, you will surely die.”

”Since the Wu Clan has disappeared, let them quietly disappear in the long river of history. We have been here and fought, and we have no regrets.”

For any living being in the prehistoric world, embarking on the path of becoming a saint is an irresistible temptation, especially becoming a genuine Taoist ancestor and standing shoulder to shoulder with Hongjun. However, Hou Tu at this moment did not have the slightest obsession with this.

It can be said that deep in her heart, she is filled with the purest kindness, which is the fundamental reason why she can reincarnate. Only a great soul with kindness and compassion can transform into the six reincarnations, cleanse the karma of all sentient beings in the world, and maintain the balance of the whole world.

Xiao Sheng was silent, and a wave of emotion welled up in his heart. In this primitive world where the strong prey on the weak, he had experienced too many intrigues and deceptions, and such pure kindness was rare.

”I sense that the evil spirit in the prehistoric world is becoming increasingly strong, which indicates that an unprecedented catastrophe will break out again soon. Its scale may even surpass the war between the witches and liches back then.”

”If the catastrophe comes, you can come to the underworld where I am. I will be there to protect your peace for a while.” Houtu laughed softly again.

Xiao Sheng responded softly: ”However, how long can you protect me? After a thousand years, you will completely disappear.”

Hou Tu was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect Xiao Sheng to ask this question so directly. She was a little confused for a moment.

In the abyss of the netherworld, Xiao Sheng smiled calmly and said, ”Just wait here. When I return, I will bring you an adventure that will shock the three worlds.”

Hou Tu smiled and shook her head, ”What kind of adventure can you give me?”

She had long seen through Xiao Sheng’s cultivation, which had reached the level of Chaos Golden Immortal. Looking at the entire prehistoric world, there were only a handful of people with such cultivation. However, even if a great sage came to the netherworld in person, he could not change her fate, let alone a Chaos Golden Immortal.

”Wait.” Xiao Sheng smiled, and his figure disappeared in the boundless dark void and returned to Huangzhou.

Hou Tu looked at the lonely space with a dazed look on her face, and whispered softly, ”Can he really do it?” But as soon as the thought came to her mind, Hou Tu shook her head to deny it, thinking that this was difficult to achieve.

……

In an instant, Xiao Sheng returned to Huangzhou. A conversation with Hou Tu made him know many secrets that had never been revealed in the depths of the prehistoric world, and he could not help but sigh in his heart. ”I never thought that behind the history of the prehistoric world, there were such profound mysteries, and the conflict between the way of heaven, the way of earth, and the way of man was so dangerous.”

”When this catastrophe comes, I must show a more positive attitude.”

”Otherwise, in these catastrophes, the power of the Heavenly Dao will surely expand infinitely. If we don’t try our best to gain benefits now, there may never be such an opportunity again in the future.”

After thinking about this, Xiao Sheng no longer hesitated and activated his own magical power - the golden light on the ground turned into a bright golden light, passing through Huangzhou and reaching the vast starry sea.

”The Netherworld, that is a place I must set foot on.”

Standing in the sea of ​​stars, Xiao Sheng looked towards the direction of the prehistoric world. He felt sympathy for Hou Tu’s situation. If Hou Tu could achieve the status of a saint of the earth and truly become the ancestor of the earth, she would undoubtedly become his most powerful ally in the prehistoric world, and he would be more at ease in facing the various challenges in the prehistoric world.

Therefore, Xiao Sheng had made up his mind and was determined to find a way to help Hou Tu rebuild her holy body!
However, it is not easy to achieve this, and at this moment, practice must come first.

”Eye of Time!”

Xiao Sheng’s mind moved, and he activated his most core magical power - the Eye of Time, in an attempt to use it to deduce the trend of future catastrophes.

boom!
A force of time suddenly burst out, shattering the starry sky, and a picture suddenly appeared, filled with boundless evil spirit. However, no fierce battle was triggered in the short term.

Buzz~~
This picture only lasted for a short time before it shattered in an instant, causing Xiao Sheng’s body to tremble and a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Trying to calculate the direction of the catastrophe is undoubtedly an act that violates the laws of heaven, and therefore suffered backlash from heaven.

However, Xiao Sheng’s body was flashing with a faint spiritual light, and in a moment, his injuries were healed, and he returned to his original state, full of energy and spirit.

Under normal circumstances, the supernatural power of the Eye of Time can foresee a little of the future. If luck allows, you can even see more things, just like the last time you traveled through the long river of time, or the other dimension where Hou Tu was not long ago.

Overall, this is an amazing ability.

With the help of the images that appeared, Xiao Sheng learned some information.

”It turns out that although the catastrophe is about to break out, there seems to be a period of calm before that.”

In the distant prehistoric times, several supreme divine beings were competing secretly. Once this secret competition reached its peak, the predicted chaos catastrophe of the Conferred Gods would inevitably befall the world.

”Before this chaos and catastrophe comes, I can still practice quietly for a while.”

Xiao Sheng whispered to himself, looking towards the abyss of the prehistoric starry sky. There, the boundless chaotic airflow was as magnificent as the mountains, and each strand was as sharp as a knife, containing a powerful pressure that made people’s heart palpitate. The chaotic airflows intertwined and converged, forming a vast and boundless chaotic ocean, surging in the starry sky, enough to easily destroy the vast galaxies, turning the stars into ashes, and causing time and space to become exhausted.

”Now, I have reached the Golden Immortal Realm, and my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. I can use the power of this chaotic airflow to completely refine the power of that drop of Pangu’s spirit!”

Xiao Sheng’s eyes were sharp, and a hint of determination flashed in them.
