The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 69 The Origin of the Sun and Moon, the Power of the Great Emperor of Fengdu, and the Reincarnation of Fuxi
When Zhou Chen arrived on the Taiyin Star, he almost didn't recognize it.

The Taiyin Star, which was originally desolate with only a single laurel tree, is now filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs, as if one has entered some kind of blessed land.

As one of the supreme stars, Taiyin Star is permeated with the power of moonlight, making it an excellent place for cultivating the Great Dao of Yin, but it is not considered a blessed land.

Cultivating here for a while is fine, but living here wouldn't be so pleasant, since there's nothing here except for a primordial laurel tree.

"As expected, women really know how to enjoy themselves!" Zhou Chen exclaimed, then walked inside.

They hadn't gone far when Taizhen Xiwangmu (let's call her Taizhen from now on, otherwise it's hard to tell the difference and it'll be a bit confusing!) came out to greet them with two maids.

"Your Majesty's presence is an honor. I have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!" Taizhen smiled and bowed.

"Your Majesty, please don't do this. Let's address each other as fellow Daoists!" Zhou Chen quickly said.

Tai Zhen chuckled and slowly asked, "May I ask what brings you to Taiyin, my friend?"

"By order of our master, we are preparing to integrate the stars, set up a grand formation, draw in chaotic energy to transform it into innate spiritual energy, replenish the primordial world's resources, and strengthen its origin."

"I came to Taiyin to borrow a portion of the Taiyin Star's essence from you, fellow Daoist, to refine spiritual treasures for use in forming a grand array." Zhou Chen didn't hesitate and directly stated his purpose. If this great supernatural being could also help, that would be wonderful.

Tai Zhen wasn't too surprised. She seemed to trust Zhou Chen a lot and didn't ask too many questions. She directly took him to retrieve the Taiyin Origin.

Zhou Chen was a little confused, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

The problem is, you can't ask! You can't exactly say:

'Fellow Daoist, why aren't you surprised? Why don't you ask me what I'm trying to do?'
So embarrassing!

Having obtained the Taiyin Origin, Zhou Chen said, "Fellow Daoist, would you like to join us? We can get some merit points for each person who shares."

Taizhen smiled and nodded, then said:

"Then thank you, fellow Daoist."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and led Tai Zhen back to the Ziwei Palace.

After returning, some of Haotian's materials were also delivered. Zhou Chen planned to refine the spiritual treasures of the two supreme stars, the Sun and the Moon, first.

Tai Zhen helped out from the side, and the two worked together very well to refine the spiritual treasure. Of course, Zhou Chen also used time acceleration, since refining spiritual treasures took too long. If he didn't speed it up, he didn't know how long it would take to finish!

Just as Zhou Chen was refining the spiritual treasure.

Chaos, Nuwa Palace.

Nuwa sat on the altar with her eyes closed, and below her was an extremely weak primordial spirit, which was Xi Huang, Fuxi, who had been rescued by Nuwa during the war between the witches and demons, and was also Nuwa's elder brother.

Suddenly, Nuwa opened her eyes, and in an instant, the entire Nuwa Palace was filled with an atmosphere of joy, and even the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be happy for the supreme being.

The commotion also alerted Fuxi, who was resting and recovering from his injuries.

"What's wrong?" Fuxi asked, puzzled. He had never seen his sister like this since she became a saint! The last time she was like this was when she obtained the Primordial Purple Qi.

"Brother, your opportunity has arrived." Nuwa smiled and pointed, and immediately a message appeared in Fuxi's primordial spirit.

"this…"

After reading the message sent by Nuwa, Fuxi frowned slightly, looking somewhat conflicted.

"Alas! Is it destined that I will be reborn as a human?" Fuxi sighed.

"Ah."

Nuwa nodded and said, "Brother's injuries are far too severe. Even if I use the unique power of the Heavenly Dao that only a sage can use, I am powerless to help."

Now that the Netherworld has been opened, the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation has been greatly enhanced. Only through reincarnation can this wound on the Great Dao, which is like a maggot clinging to the bone, be severed.

After being reincarnated as a human, with the help of the Three Sovereigns' positions, perhaps my elder brother can advance even further; it's not certain.

Fuxi remained silent for a long time before saying to Nuwa, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation were created by Houtu. Is there any difficulty in doing so?"

Nuwa smiled and said, "Now, the Six Paths of Reincarnation have been integrated into the Netherworld. The Goddess Pingxin has given all the management rights to Zhou Chen, a disciple of the Jie Sect. He is now the supreme ruler of the Netherworld and the Underworld, the Emperor of Fengdu."

"I get along well with this kid, brother, you don't need to worry."

"Well then, let's do it that way!" Fuxi agreed.

"In that case, the sooner the better. Brother, come with me to the Netherworld to see this Emperor Fengdu." As she spoke, Nuwa waved her hand, and the two figures disappeared from Nuwa Palace.

When they reappeared, they had arrived at the gateway to the Netherworld.

The enormous Gate of Hell seems to connect heaven and earth; there is no other entrance besides this gate.

"Let's go! This is the Gate of Hell, the only entrance to the Netherworld." With that, Nuwa led Fuxi inside.

After Fuxi entered, he saw countless spirits, guided in an orderly fashion by a group of underworld officials dressed in identical uniforms, walking towards the interior.

Of course, some disobeyed and tried to escape, but they were all struck down by lightning that appeared inexplicably in the sky and then dragged into the River of Oblivion by the underworld officials.

"I didn't expect this kid to be doing so well; he's managing the Netherworld so well," Nuwa said, looking around. "I don't deserve such praise, Martial Aunt. Zhou Chen is just doing his best."

As soon as the voice fell, a figure wearing an imperial crown and a long, blue robe with wide sleeves appeared before the two.

The newcomer was surrounded by a dense aura of yin energy, so intense that it resembled small black dragons baring their fangs and claws.

Through the gaps in the Yin energy, one could sense the aura of time and space emanating from the newcomer, which was none other than Zhou Chen's Dao body.

His Dao body was bestowed the title of Yin Emperor of the Netherworld, the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

With authority bestowed upon him, his Dao Body is a saint in this Netherworld, even more powerful than a saint. He can not only use the power of the Earth Dao, but also the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc. The three thousand Great Dao Divine Powers that Zhou Chen engraved on the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc are not just for show.

The moment Nuwa and Fuxi entered the Netherworld, Dao Body sensed it and quickly finished his work to come and greet them.

Leaving aside Fuxi for now, Nuwa is his martial aunt, so he can't be disrespectful. Besides, this martial aunt is quite difficult to deal with, so it's better to avoid trouble.

"Zhou Chen? This is your Dao body? How did you become so strong?" Nuwa exclaimed in surprise. It had only been a short time since she last saw him. Had Zhou Chen's Dao body already become so powerful? She couldn't even sense his arrival.

"Uncle-Master, this is the benefit of being granted the power of the Great Emperor of Fengdu. In this Netherworld, I am a saint, even..."

The Dao Body did not say the rest. He originally wanted to say that even a saint could be cast into reincarnation if he used the Earthly Path to sever the Heavenly Path.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, because there was no need. With his grandmaster around, those two in the West couldn't cause any trouble.

It would be better to tell others.

"So, in other words, you've become a saint? Just this one power?" Nuwa was somewhat incredulous. She remembered how difficult it was for her to become a saint. She had reached the peak of a great supernatural being, and then spent countless years comprehending the Primordial Purple Qi before she was able to create humans and become a saint.

When it came to Zhou Chen, he had already reached the realm of a saint simply by receiving a power, which she found hard to accept.

Fuxi stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"Uncle-Master, it's not becoming a saint, it's equivalent to a saint. I can call upon the power of the Netherworld, but I haven't entrusted my true spirit to the underground passage. Strictly speaking, I'd say I belong to the category of a sub-saint!" the Dao Body explained.

Nuwa waved her hand, "What's the difference? Aren't they still the same level of combat power as a saint?"
She didn't want to talk about it anymore; she was feeling a bit tired.

"You probably already know why I've come!"

Zhou Chen nodded. Fuxi was destined to be the Human Emperor, and this was his reincarnation.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you came to fulfill your destiny and were reincarnated as a human, becoming one of the Three Sovereigns of the human race."

However, reincarnation will sever all karmic ties from past lives, and one will be reborn as a human, only as a human, not a demon!

Fellow Daoist, do you know?

Zhou Chen, out of respect for the goddess Nuwa, offered a reminder, which also carried a hint of warning.

Fuxi was taken aback and looked at Nuwa. Nuwa nodded to him and immediately replied without hesitation, "Fuxi understands. If I am reincarnated, I will erase all past karma and only be human."

Dao Shen nodded, rose, and walked towards Fengdu City. "Follow me!"

Nuwa and Fuxi quickly followed.

Soon the three arrived at the place of reincarnation, where six rotating black holes in the void emitted an incomparably profound power.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation were hidden away, leaving only the Six Paths of Reincarnation visible in the netherworld.

"Fellow Daoist, are you ready?" the Daoist body asked Fuxi.

Fuxi looked deeply at Nuwa, then bowed to Zhou Chen.

"Please perform the spell, fellow Daoist!"

The Dao Body did not speak further. With a flick of its finger, Fuxi's primordial spirit instantly collapsed, turning into a ray of spiritual light, which the Dao Body threw into the human realm of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Seeing this, Nuwa sighed deeply before saying to her avatar, "Little Zhou Chen, thank you for this time. Please visit Nuwa Palace more often when you have time. It's been a long time since I've heard your stories."

Dao Shen stumbled and almost fell.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore, I should go back now." With that, Goddess Nuwa turned around and prepared to return to the Great Primordial World.

"Uncle-Master, wait a moment." Dao Shen hurriedly called out to Nuwa.

Nuwa stopped and turned around with some confusion, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle-Master, after returning to the Primordial World, it would be best to visit the Ziwei Palace. The foundation for Fellow Daoist Fuxi's Dao, the Hetu and Luoshu, is still in his possession."

If you arrive too late, the original entity will likely use the Hetu Luoshu for other purposes.

"At that time, it will be difficult for Fellow Daoist Fuxi to attain Dao." The Dao Body hurriedly informed Nuwa that if they arrived too late, Zhou Chen would indeed directly use the Hetu Luoshu to activate the Zhou Tian Star Array.

At that time, wanting to obtain the Hetu and Luoshu was nothing short of a pipe dream; not to mention anything else, even the laws of Heaven would not allow it.
