Refining the Dao into Godhood: A Tale of the Jie Sect-Chapter 55 [First Meeting with Houtu, Transformation of Thunder Pond] (1st Update)

Chapter 55: Chapter 55 [First Meeting with Houtu, Transformation of Thunder Pond] (1st Update)

The heavens and earth were carved open, and thunder transformed, revealing the creation of the natural world. This is the Dao of heaven-opening and earth-splitting, and it is also the Supreme Divine Thunder used by Pangu when he created the Primordial World.

In an instant, the "Innate Thunder Pool" containing the world of thunder began to evolve into the Thunder Universe, and an Innate Divine Thunder, resembling a world of its own, started to rotate violently around the "Devastating Divine Thunder" as its center.

With one thunder strike, all things come to life!

The world of thunder, vast and boundless, began to evolve thunder spirits, including the Innate Dragon God with the head of a dragon and the body of a human, the Kui ox branded with thunder patterns all over, the Thunder Tiger as swift as wind and thunder, the Duke of Thunder with a pointed muzzle, monkey cheeks, and possessing wings, and the holy being in the thunder holding two lightning snakes in human form, with a tiger’s head...

Each type of Innate Divine Thunder seemed to have given birth to its intelligence, transforming into various creatures, and then bowing down to that holy being within the thunder.

Xuanqing couldn’t help but glance at Qiang Liang.

Because, the holy being in the thunder, holding two lightning snakes, almost looked exactly like the Ancestral Witch True Body of this "Ancestor Witch of Thunder."

"Interesting!"

"Let me try too!"

The "Ancestor Witch of Lightning" standing by suddenly spoke and then, with a flick of his finger, another demon god who wielded lightning appeared in the "Innate Thunder Pool." This being had the face of a human and body of a bird, with green snakes hanging from the ears and a red snake in hand, controlling thunder and driving lightning, even faintly revealing a momentum that competed with "Devastating Divine Thunder."

Thunder and lightning are inseparable; as the "Ancestor Witch of Lightning," born from Pangu’s Essence Blood, his connection with Qiang Liang was much closer than with other Ancestor Witches.

The two were like Yin and Yang in the Great Dao, like water and fire coexisting, representing a complementary relationship.

Xizi mastered two types of Innate Divine Thunder, namely "Azure Darkness Divine Thunder" and "Red Abyss Divine Thunder." The green and red snakes hanging on his Ancestral Witch True Body were the manifestations of these two types of Innate Divine Thunder.

"Open Heaven!"

Suddenly, a roar sounded from the "Innate Thunder Pool," as if it was the opening of Chaos, the demon god roared furiously, causing even the River of Time and Space to splash a slight ripple.

Xuanqing also couldn’t help but frown slightly.

This evolution of the "Innate Thunder Pool" was different from the direction he had anticipated!

According to his deductions, after obtaining the origin of "Devastating Divine Thunder," the various Innate Divine Thunders should merge into one, evolving towards the legendary "Source of All Thunders."

But now, dozens of types of Innate Divine Thunders, not only showed no sign of merging, but seemed to have born intelligence, becoming sentient beings like Xuanqing.

Especially those two thunder spirits that looked like Qiang Liang and Xizi, even possessed an indescribable charm, seemingly holding a third of the aura of their true bodies.

"Alright!"

Emperor Jiang, the chief of the Ancestor Witches, suddenly spoke: "Since the transaction is complete, young friend, you should leave soon to avoid creating too much karma with my Witch Clan! As a disciple of Saint, it is better not to get involved in the vortex of the Witch and Demon Clans!"

Xuanqing had no choice but to leave.

He had originally wanted to use this opportunity to speak to Houtu and establish some connections beforehand. fгeewebnovёl.com

However, Emperor Jiang seemed somewhat displeased with him and directly issued an expulsion order!

After Xuanqing left, Xizi couldn’t help looking towards Zhu Jiuyin: "Second brother, what exactly did you see? Why did you want me and Qiang Liang to leave an imprint in that boy’s Thunder Pool?"

Zhu Jiuyin is the strategist of the Witch Clan, mastering the Time Great Dao, and often able to see into the future that ordinary people cannot.

Hearing this, the other Ancestor Witches also looked towards Zhu Jiuyin, eyes full of inquiry.

Zhu Jiuyin, with resignation, said: "The future is capricious, I am unsure if what I saw is accurate! However, this time our great formation with the Demon Clan was nearly evenly matched, and I asked Qiang Liang and Xizi to leave an imprint, just planning for the worst! That young man is a direct disciple of Saint Tongtian, and is unlikely to be involved in this catastrophe, if you leave an imprint in his Thunder Pool, even if we fall during this catastrophe, there might still be a possibility to return in the future!"

Ancestral Witches of such level, being close to the Dao, even if their physical bodies turn to ashes and their True Spirits extinguish, are not considered dead, but merely lost in the endless stream of time and space.

With the guidance of a brand, there is an added possibility of rejuvenation from extinction.

Houtu couldn’t help but show a trace of worry on her face: "Our Witch Clan, born from the divine Essence Blood of our father god, is uniquely blessed. Could it truly be that we will face a catastrophe in the future?"

"I do not know either!"

Zhu Jiuyin shook his head: "Though this Primordial World was opened up by our father god, besides us, who else desires his return?"

Ancestral Witches were blunt, but not foolish; they too understood that they were repelled by the Heavenly Dao and all beings of the Primordial World, wishing for their obliteration within the endless river of time and space.

"Sigh!"

Houtu deeply sighed: "This time, the great war between the Witch and Demon Clans has brought disaster to countless beings, no wonder the beings of the Primordial World fear us!"

She felt somewhat exhausted!

Sometimes, she even doubted, was the great battle with the Demon Clan from the start a mistake?

It was Xuanming, on the other hand, who appeared indifferent to life and death: "What is there to fear! It is merely death after all! By the way, have you noticed that young fellow Xuanqing, his gaze lingered on our sister several times! Could it be that there is something on her more attractive than the Devastating Divine Thunder?"

"Perhaps!"

Zhu Jiuyin eyebrows furrowed: "Our sister is indeed the most special among us; her fate is shrouded in obscurity, even I cannot glimpse her future! And that young fellow, his fate is void, untraceable!"

Being the "Ancestor Witch of Time," he could foresee most destinies, yet there were exceptions, such as beings like Saints or the Four Great Holy Beasts who held the authority of Heavenly Dao, beings like Emperor Jiang who were stronger than him, and those like Xuanqing with void fates!

Although Houtu did not hold authority over the Heavenly Dao and was not stronger or possessed a void fate compared to him, he still could not clearly see Houtu’s future.

Thus, he speculated that Houtu must either have something special about her or her future might be stronger than his, making it impossible for him to see her destiny.

The Ancestor Witches pondered upon this.

After a long while, Emperor Jiang finally slowly said: "This is not necessarily a bad thing. If the future is unchanged, why should we resist the inevitable trend of Heavenly Dao?"

"The True Spirit of Kua Fu, I have already sent into the Blood Pool, but without tens of thousands of years, he likely cannot recover. For now, we should focus on how to deal with the Demon Clan!"

"This time, the Demon Clan’s array has increased several times stronger than before, it must not be underestimated!"

...

Meanwhile, Xuanqing, having left the Witch Tribe, did not return to Golden Turtle Island but found a secluded place to carefully perceive the changes in the "Innate Thunder Pool."

He also reviewed the changes in several of his other avatars.

The "Plague God" avatar continues to comprehend the "Plague Dao" day by day, simultaneously refining some remarkably potent Gu Worms following the inheritance from Pan King.

The "Suiren" avatar is experiencing the "Incense Fire Divine Dao," countless insights being transmitted through Xuanqing as an intermediary, to the spirit attached to the Yinming Grass, aiming to help it deduce a complete "Ghost Immortal System."

In the "Mountain River Tripod," his avatar is trying to cultivate various types of Immortal Grass and Spiritual Medicines, and has already seen initial success, soon to achieve self-sufficiency.

Besides, after saving Kua Fu, he also used the "Sudden Thunder Zither" as a medium, splitting out a Thunder Dao Avatar to search for the bodies of the nine young Golden Crows.

Being the sons of Emperor Jun, they are incarnations of the solar essence, their bloodline containing "Taiyang Fire," which also presents a good opportunity for Xuanqing.

Whether for Artifact Refining or for comprehending "Taiyang Fire," both hold significant benefits.
