Shouyang Mountain.

Taiyi, seated at the head, with Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master flanking him from left and right, Xuan Dou was serving tea aside, while Xuanqing began to recount his own experiences.

From his encounter with the ten suns patrolling the sky while he was refining the Yellow River Water Transport, to his intervention, quietly rescuing Kua Fu’s True Spirit, and then using the same tactic to save Xi He’s little Golden Crow from Hou Yi’s hands, seeking to maximize benefits...

Tongtian Sect Master wore a strange expression: "Are you saying that you first saved Kua Fu, then the little Golden Crow, and then you took advantage of these favors to have both the Witch and Demon Clans in your debt?"

"Exactly!"

Xuanqing nodded, his cheeks tinged with red: "Exchanging for the source of the Devastating Divine Thunder was a deliberate act on my part! However, Emperor Jun sending Bai Ze with the Pure Yang Sword to Golden Turtle Island, later on, me founding the Ghost Immortal Path, Xi He offering the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel, Immortal Zhenyuan and Ancestor Witch Houtu visiting Mount Tai, all those were beyond my expectations!"

He was telling the truth.

Some things were indeed not willful on his part, he was simply adhering to the principle of not being a fool if advantage was not taken, doing his best to maximize benefits!

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun said displeasedly: "Back when you were in Kunlun Mountain, I always thought you were prudent! But unexpectedly, now your actions are so reckless, playing both ends against the middle, you might end up offending both parties!"

"Even more, it could backfire, leading the Witch Clan and Demon Clan to believe that the Three Pure Ones are behind the troubles with Kua Fu and the ten Golden Crows!"

"However, looking at how things are developing now, it seems to be going in a favorable direction!"

"Do you still have the bodies of those nine little Golden Crows?"

Xuanqing was aware of this, but in that moment, whether it was the Tribulation Qi clouding his mind, or greed, he boldly played both sides.

Reflecting on this afterward, he also realized he had indeed been somewhat inconsiderate!

Being successful in both matters did involve some luck, and with the slightest mishap, he could have been targeted by both the Witch and Demon Clan and trapped in an unsolvable deadlock.

"I realize my mistake!"

When scolded, one must stand straight; Xuanqing immediately admitted his mistake and replied, "As for the bodies of the nine little Golden Crows, they are currently in my Fire Dao Avatar’s hands!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded: "On the side of the Witch Clan, it’s Lady Houtu who owes you karma, so there’s no need to worry! However, the matter you promised to Xi He is a bit troublesome. What do you plan to do with those nine little Golden Crows?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing immediately voiced his plan: "The matter I promised to Xi He, I have no intention of going back on my word! But as the Demon Clan wantonly slaughters my people, I cannot let Xi He have her way!"

"Now that the Netherworld has emerged, and Reincarnation has been established, if I can assist Lady Houtu in defining Netherworld order, I believe that the Heavenly Dao will be generous in bestowing Merit and Luck!"

"Therefore, I plan to find an opportunity to Enlighten and Create Fate for those little Golden Crows and transform them into Suns to be hung in the firmament above the Netherworld!"

"Reviving the nine Golden Crows would settle my karma with Xi He, and having mother and children separated between two realms would be retaliation against the Demon Clan’s wanton massacre of the Human Race!"

This issue, Xuanqing had given much thought; he wasn’t a Saint and naturally wouldn’t seek to please at his own cost, allowing the nine little Golden Crows to return to Xi He’s side.

"Good!"

Yuanshi Tianzun didn’t say much more.

On the other hand, Taiyi pursued further: "The matter of Reincarnation concerns the future of all beings. If our Xuan Sect wishes to grow, we must inevitably have a hand in it. Since Houtu has granted you karma, have you thought about how to make use of it?"

After some thought, Xuanqing took out the "Netherworld Geomancy Map" and said: "This treasure, found in the Netherworld, also forms the foundation of the Ghost Immortal System, able to appoint the gods of mountains and rivers in the Netherworld! With this Innate Spiritual Treasure in hand, along with my Ghost Dao Avatar stationed at the gates between the Yin Yang Two Realms, I have enough say in matters concerning the Netherworld!"

"Nevertheless, the deficits of Ghost Immortal Cultivators are numerous, making them easy targets. If a Quasi-Saint seeks to scheme against the Netherworld, I would be rather hard-pressed to confront them!"

"Therefore, I wish to ask my teacher, or my two respected uncles, to send an avatar to preside over the Netherworld, and also dispatch a few disciples to assist me in handling the matters of the Netherworld!"

"As Lady Houtu has granted me karma, she will surely not refuse this!"

Xuanqing had started his plotting long ago, scheming for authority in the Netherworld. Now that Taiyi raised the question, he had a general idea in his mind to share.

"Good!"

Taiyi nodded: "Out of my disciples, only Xuan Dou is here, so he shall not participate in this matter! It remains to be seen how my second and third brothers feel about this!"

Upon this, Tongtian Sect Master immediately laughed and said: "Since this is the case, I will send an avatar to preside over the Netherworld. Once you break through to the Quasi-Saint realm in the future and have enough strength to defend your authority in the Netherworld, I will withdraw my avatar! As for disciples, with your strength, you surely don’t need me to worry!"

Jie Sect’s ten thousand immortals come to court, what they are not lacking the most is disciples. With Xuanqing’s network among the disciples of the Jie Sect, he is not worried about not finding people to help.

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment and said: "With the avatar of the Third Brother presiding, it is sufficient! As for disciples, there are only a dozen or so under my wing, so let Taiyi assist you! He, like you, is delving into the method of self-avatar, and although he has not yet broken through the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, one person can do the work of several!"

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Second Senior Uncle!" Xuanqing quickly bowed in gratitude: "With Master’s avatar and Junior Brother Taiyi here, the World of Darkness will surely have nothing to worry about!"

...

On the other hand, the Demon Emperor Emperor Jun also took the young golden crow You Wen to Taixu Heaven, hoping that Nuwa would take the young golden crow as a disciple out of old affection.

"Enough!"

Nuwa thought for a moment and sighed lightly: "Since he is the son of an old friend, let him stay!"

"Father Emperor!"

The young golden crow was somewhat reluctant.

Because he believed that as the crown prince of the Demon Clan, he should stand shoulder to shoulder with the many of the clan in battle.

Seeing this, Emperor Jun touched the young golden crow’s forehead and consoled: "With your current strength, even if you stay in Heavenly Court, what can you do?"

"Wa Emperor is a Saint, staying with her will allow you to cultivate better, and once you break through the realm of Quasi-Saint, you can naturally return to the Heavenly Court at any time!"

Among the Saints, only Nuwa had a closer relationship with the Demon Clan, and his sending the young golden crow to Taixu Heaven also meant entrusting them to Nuwa.

It’s just that some things are not easy for him to say directly to the young golden crow.

If the young golden crow knew that he also had no confidence in defeating the Witch Clan and unifying the Primordial, he would definitely not be willing to leave him and Xi He.

"Yes!"

The young golden crow immediately nodded in agreement.

...

On the side of the Witch Clan, after Emperor Jiang returned to Buzhou Mountain, he ordered all the Ancestor Witches to give a drop of Essence Blood, which was then handed over to the Great Witch Xingtian for refinement, intending to help him break through the realm of Ancestor Witch before the decisive battle between the Witch and Demon Clans.

In fact, Xingtian’s current strength was already on par with the ten great Demon Saints, comparable to a Quasi-Saint. The only difference with Ancestor Witches was in the transformation of principles and bloodlines.

At the same time, under Emperor Jiang’s order, Jiufeng and Kua Fu, along with a portion of the Witch Clan, entered the World of Darkness, ostensibly to help Lady Houtu manage reincarnation.

They entered through Mount Tai.

When Xuanqing returned to Mount Tai, he saw these two familiar Great Witches.

Jiufeng was as indifferent as ever.

But Kua Fu, because of Xuanqing having saved him from the hands of the ten Golden Crows, was extremely enthusiastic.

"Seen Lady Houtu!"

And Xuanqing, once again, met Lady Houtu.

The current Lady Houtu had completely shed her Ancestor Witch physique, radiating a divine and holy aura that made one can’t help but worship her.

"No need for excessive courtesy, Daoist friend!"

Lady Houtu nodded slightly: "If not for Daoist friend using Netherworld Soil and Yellow Springs Water to reshape my body, I might not be able to stand here and speak with you!"

Hearing this, Xuanqing immediately got straight to the point: "To be honest, my visit this time is to seek a position for the cultivators of Xuan Sect in the World of Darkness!"

"As a Saint, Lady must not possibly attend to everything personally, some miscellaneous matters can be handed over to our Xuan Sect cultivators, just right for them to earn some merit."

"May I know what Lady thinks?"

Lady Houtu nodded: "No objection at all! In fact, since the cycle of reincarnation is initially established, many things are not systematized; I also hope Daoist friend could offer me some advice!"
