Chapter 249 Presenting His Majesty with a method to break the physical body of the Witch Clan!
As Niu Ben spoke, a chaotic aura suddenly arose around him, and between birth and death, the pure and turbid energies naturally differentiated.
Amidst the hazy light and shadow, a scene of creation and the opening of the world is being depicted.
Then, Niu Ben continued:
"The Way has no high or low; the causes and conditions are different for each person."
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi's adherence to principles is the foundation and the accumulation of knowledge."
"Our journey is one of exploration and application."
"Upholding the orthodox while employing the unconventional is the way to longevity, just like the earth itself."
"But it also has to bear the birth, aging, sickness and death of all things, the arising and ceasing of conditions. This is also movement, another form of action."
After listening to Niu Ben's words, Zhen Yuanzi, who was standing nearby, had a look of admiration in his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim in praise:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben's words are truly wonderful!"
"Preservation and action, stillness and movement, are two sides of yin and yang, complementing each other."
"I have been guarding this place and managing the earth's veins. It may seem quiet, but in reality, the earth's veins are flowing and spiritual energy is rising and falling. I am constantly working on this."
"Fellow Daoist, as you travel through the primordial world, though seemingly in motion, your heart is in harmony with the Great Dao, and you understand its rules. Is your heart not also a supreme form of protection?"
"After hearing your words today, fellow Daoist, I have gained a deeper understanding of the principles of the earth's veins and the cycle of life!"
As he said this, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Niu Ben with eyes full of admiration.
The two then continued their discussion.
Houtu, the ancestral witch, listened quietly to the conversation.
She was born into the witch clan and did not cultivate her primordial spirit.
However, his mind was involuntarily drawn to the rhythm of the Great Dao.
In particular, the concepts of "birth, aging, sickness and death," "arising and ceasing," and "cycles" mentioned by the two during their discussions deeply attracted Houtu, the ancestral witch.
The vague sense of opportunity that Houtu had initially felt became much clearer as Niu Ben and Zhen Yuanzi continued their discussions.
Houtu felt as if she had touched upon the outline of some grander order.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a century has passed.
On this day, Niu Ben stopped his discussion with Zhen Yuanzi, stood up and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi."
"I have gained much insight from this discussion, and I apologize for disturbing you, fellow Daoist!"
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Zhen Yuanzi waved his hands repeatedly and replied:
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."
"I have benefited greatly from this discussion with you, fellow Daoist!"
Niu Ben smiled faintly and changed the subject:
"It's about time; Fellow Daoist Houtu and I should continue our journey through the prehistoric world!"
As he spoke, Niu Ben glanced at Houtu Zuwu.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Zhen Yuanzi!"
Houtu, the ancestral witch, slowly rose and bowed to Zhen Yuanzi.
Zhen Yuanzi smiled slightly and did not try to stop the two. He personally escorted Niu Ben and Hou Tu to the outside of Wuzhuang Temple.
"Fellow Daoists."
"When you have some free time in the future, you might as well come and visit my Wuzhuang Temple more often."
Niu Ben nodded and said with a smile:
"must."
Immediately, Niu Ben and Hou Tu did not linger and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing into the distance.
Watching Niu Ben's departing figure, Zhen Yuanzi was filled with emotion and couldn't help but sigh in admiration:
"The Supreme Sage has truly taken on a fine disciple!"
"This cow's future is limitless!"
Zhen Yuanzi held Niu Ben in high regard and intended to befriend him.
The key point is that Niu Ben and the demon race are not on good terms.
Because of Hongyun's death, he harbored a deep hatred for the demon race.
Earlier, when Emperor Jun was getting married, he sent someone to deliver an invitation to Zhen Yuanzi, but Zhen Yuanzi did not go to the Heavenly Court to attend the ceremony.
He doesn't care whether the demon race has a saint backing them up.
……
Next, Niu Ben and Hou Tu continued to roam the prehistoric land, heading towards the Netherworld Blood Sea in the far west.
And so, more than two thousand years have passed without anyone noticing.
During this period, friction between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan intensified, small-scale conflicts escalated, and the atmosphere of the Great Calamity grew stronger.
At this moment, inside the Lingxiao Palace of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.
A group of high-ranking members of the demon race gathered, creating a somber and tense atmosphere.
Di Jun's gaze sharpened as he swept his eyes over the assembled high-ranking demon clan members in the hall, and he said in a deep voice:
"Our demon race and the witch race have been at war for years. On the surface, our demon race has the advantage, but in reality, our casualties are far greater than those of the witch race!"
"The reason for this is simply that the Wu Clan possesses incredibly strong physical bodies, making them difficult to harm without innate spiritual treasures!"
"The reason I have summoned you here today is to discuss a strategy to deal with the powerful physical strength of the Witch Clan."
As soon as Di Jun spoke, all the demons present were stunned.
Just as Di Jun said.
In this conflict between the witch and demon races, the demon race seemed to have suppressed the witch race.
However, in actual combat, the number of demon casualties far exceeded that of the witch clan.
These witch-like beings do not cultivate their primordial spirit, but only their physical body.
This makes ordinary magical artifacts completely ineffective against them; only innate spiritual treasures can break through the powerful physical bodies of the Wu Clan.
Unfortunately, such innate spiritual treasures are extremely rare.
Even if the demon race is large and powerful, it's impossible for every member to be equipped with an innate spiritual treasure.
Seeing the silence fall over the hall, Di Jun frowned, then turned his gaze to Fuxi.
"Xi Huang".
"Do you have a solution?"
Upon hearing Di Jun's question, Fu Xi was taken aback.
"this……"
He frowned, then shook his head helplessly and said:
"His Majesty."
"The physical bodies of this Wu Clan are incredibly powerful, a legacy of the great god Pangu, bordering on the laws of nature."
"It will be very difficult to break through this using ordinary methods!"
"I... have no good solution at the moment."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun's expression turned ugly.
The atmosphere in the hall became even heavier, and many demon gods lowered their heads, fearing that Di Jun would question them.
"Report!"
Just then, a report came from outside the hall.
Immediately, a guard rushed into the hall, knelt down, and said:
"His Majesty."
"A demon king from the mortal realm requests an audience!"
"I have...something extremely urgent to report!"
Upon hearing what the guard said, Di Jun and the others were all taken aback.
It should be noted that those demons who can enter the Lingxiao Palace are at least Quasi-Saint level beings.
A demon king from the lower realm, whose cultivation level is only that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"Something extremely urgent?"
Di Jun muttered something under his breath, then waved his hand and said:
"Bring him in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Soon, a burly demon king entered the hall.
Upon entering, the demon king immediately knelt down before Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi:
"Demon King Lei Ze pays respects to the Demon Emperor and Demon King!"
Di Jun nodded slightly and asked in a deep voice:
"Thunderous Demon King, why have you abandoned your territory and entered the Heavenly Realm without permission?"
Upon hearing Di Jun's authoritative question, Demon King Lei Ze trembled involuntarily.
Indeed, the imposing aura of all the high-ranking demons in the hall made him tense, as if his breath was about to freeze.
After a moment's hesitation, the Thunderous Demon King quickly pursed his lips before replying:
"Reporting to Your Majesty!"
"This humble demon has come to offer Your Majesty a method to break free from the physical bodies of the Witch Clan!"
The moment the Demon King uttered these words, the entire Lingxiao Palace was instantly shocked.
Fuxi and all the demon gods stared in disbelief at the Thunder Swamp Demon King.
