Chapter 76 Hongyun's PreparationHongyun and Zhen Yuanzi were a little surprised. Zhen Yuanzi sighed and said, "Isn't there still a glimmer of hope?" Hou Tu smiled, looked at the two of them, shook her head and said, "That's why there is no hope." "My two Taoist brothers, if I'm not mistaken, in this catastrophe, I'm afraid that neither my Wu clan nor my demon clan will be the winner, right?" "There is absolutely no possibility for our two clans to become the sole overlords of heaven and earth, and naturally, Brother Dijiang will not be able to prove his truth with this." Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi were both moved, but they didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing the two like this, Hou Tu confirmed her own thoughts and said, "Although I don't have a soul and can't predict the secrets of heaven, I have some understanding of the future." "Brother Hongyun." Hou Tu looked at Hong Yun again and said, "I just want to ask you, will the one who takes over the position of the protagonist of our Wu and Monster tribes be the human race?" Upon hearing this, Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi could no longer conceal the shock in their eyes. Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?"
But as soon as he said this, Zhen Yuanzi had already figured it out himself. Hou Tu's question was not directed at him, but at Hong Yun. Obviously, it is because of the human religion established by Hongyun, which has clearly demonstrated how much Hongyun values the human race. Hong Yun nodded and said, "The human race is indeed the new protagonist, and the only protagonist." "But you are still wrong, Fellow Daoist Hou Tu. In fact, 'human' does not only refer to the human race, but all living things. All can be human. The human race is human, the demon race is human, the Asura race is human, and the witch race can also be human." Hou Tu nodded and said, "Brother Dao's ideal is such that Hou Tu admires it, but such an ideal is probably not easy to realize, right?" Hong Yun smiled and said, "If it's difficult to achieve, then it's difficult to achieve. We are saints, and educating sentient beings is a long process. Even if it can't be accomplished, it doesn't matter. But some things have to be done by someone after all." Hou Tu fell silent after hearing this. After a long while, she looked at the two men and said to them, "Brothers, if I sacrifice my body and reincarnate, can you please agree to one thing for me?" Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi looked at each other and said, "Daoyou, please speak." "I dare not ask for the protection of my brothers, but I ask you two Taoist brothers to protect my witch clan from extinction!" Hou Tu said. Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi both nodded and said, "We will do our best." Hou Tu said, "Then I am relieved. Take care, my two Taoist brothers!" But at this moment, Hong Yun stopped her and said, "Fellow Daoist Hou Tu, wait a minute, you have finished talking, now it's time to listen to me, right?" Hou Tu paused and looked at Hong Yun in confusion. Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel a little hope in his heart. I only heard Hong Yun say: "Daoyou want to sacrifice his life to reincarnate and help all living beings. With such a great cause, how can Hong Yun just stand by and watch?" "What's more, I received kindness from you in the past, and now is the time to repay you." As he spoke, Hong Yun looked at Zhen Yuanzi and said with a smile, "Brother, do you dare to fight with me against all the saints?" Zhen Yuanzi was shocked and laughed, "Why not?" Hou Tu also understood the hidden meaning of Hong Yun's words and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Brother Hong Yun, you..."
"Fellow." Hong Yun looked at Hou Tu and said, "In this world, besides Brother Zhen Yuan, you are the only one who can be called my friend." "How can I bear to let you vanish into thin air and disappear from the world forever?" "So, I have been prepared for this day." Hong Yun told his plan: "The reason why you will fall after reincarnation is because you don't have a soul, but what if you have a soul?" "If you have a primordial spirit, this is your chance. You can take this opportunity to attain the Dao of Hun Yuan!" “Among all the saints, I have the most merits. So, I can take out half of my merits and use my supernatural powers to help my fellow Taoists refine their primordial spirits. Then they can naturally reincarnate safely without losing their lives.” As he spoke, Hong Yun stretched out his hand and pointed, and suddenly an extremely long spell appeared in Hou Tu's mind. This spell is a method to get Hou Tu's cooperation in refining the primordial spirit. Hou Tu was surprised at first when she got this secret, but suddenly she thought of something and said, "Brother Daoist is proving the Dao through merits. If you give me half of the merits, wouldn't my cultivation be greatly reduced?" Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but look at Hong Yun with some concern. Hong Yun smiled and said, "I have gained more merits than any other saint. Now I am already at the level of the middle stage of Hunyuan. Even if I lose half of my merits, I will only fall from the middle stage of Hunyuan to the early stage of Hunyuan." "I am still a saint. With the help of the innate five elements formation I recently acquired and my brother, even if all the saints come together, what do I have to fear?" When Hou Tu heard this, she was moved beyond words. Zhen Yuanzi took a deep breath and said, "I am stupid and I have to rely on you, Hongyun, to think about everything. However, as long as I can keep Taoist Hou Tu safe, this is all I can do now." Hong Yun smiled generously and said, "You don't have to think too much. Merit and virtue are just passing clouds to me. Let alone losing half of it, what's the harm even if I lose all of it?" "Merit and enlightenment are ultimately just illusions. I don't take them seriously." "Okay, let's get started without further ado!" Hou Tu and Zhen Yuanzi quickly calmed down after hearing this. They couldn't delay any longer at this moment. Otherwise, if it is discovered by other saints, there might be more trouble. At that moment, Hong Yun offered up the Cauldron of Creation and said to Hou Tu, "Fellow Daoist Hou Tu, please enter this cauldron. You can use it to block the secrets of heaven, which is just right for casting spells." Hou Tu nodded and entered the Cauldron of Creation first. Hong Yun said to Zhen Yuanzi again: "Brother is outside protecting the law." Zhen Yuanzi also nodded. Hongyun also entered the Cauldron of Creation. When they arrived at the Cauldron of Creation, Hongyun and Houtu sat opposite each other in the space inside the cauldron. Behind Hongyun, a huge golden wheel of merit suddenly appeared. Under the illumination of this golden wheel of merit, Hou Tu couldn't help but feel her heart becoming extremely calm. Hong Yun said: "Daoyou, I am ready. I am going to start." Houtu nodded.
Hong Yun then made some hand gestures and began to display his magical powers, but the magical power that Hong Yun displayed was the great cause and effect technique. As Hong Yun performed the great cause and effect technique, countless densely packed cause and effect threads emerged. These countless threads of cause and effect came from nowhere and enveloped the two of them from all directions. It's like a big cocoon. Countless threads of cause and effect penetrate the golden wheel of merit behind Hong Yun, and then are connected to Hou Tu. It seems that Hou Tu is the destination, everything points to Hou Tu and belongs to Hou Tu. Hong Yun also chanted some strange spells. After an unknown amount of time, Hong Yun suddenly shouted and pointed at Hou Tu, saying loudly: "The cause and effect of all spirits shall all return to Hou Tu. Turn to me!" "boom!" Suddenly, countless threads of cause and effect all rushed towards Houtu, and along with it, the huge golden wheel of merit behind Hongyun also shone brightly at this moment, and almost half of the merit, along with the threads of cause and effect, rushed towards Houtu. Countless threads of cause and effect wrapped Hou Tu's entire body, forming a huge cocoon. But this big cocoon is bright golden in color, and at first glance, it looks like a giant golden egg.
