Chapter 1009: Jade Record of Creation (1/2)

An enormous altar encircled by the altars of the five elements slowly materialized within the heavenly palace.

The mother altar!

Qing Yu had moved the mother altar from the Xuan Yuan Tomb into the heavenly palace. As it appeared, the Deaf Prince and seven others sacrificed everything that was Wuzhiqi to the mother altar and received enormous power in exchange.

Chaos realm strength blossomed from the Deaf Prince, Jing Dichen, Lin Yan, Feng Ruyu, Beicang Qiong, Bai Qi, and even Jing Huaci. Their original cultivation realms had finally returned to them!

Seven mighty figures loomed out of a haze of light and slowly approached from the past, making for their seven contemporary reincarnations. Their great wilderness selves, ones who’d commanded the wind and rain in eons past, were returning to their rightful place.

But just as they were about to sink into their current selves, the immortal dao trembled slightly and disintegrated them into powder that vanished upon the wind.

The Deaf Prince and six others had recovered their original cultivation, but their former selves had been obliterated by the immortal dao, leaving only seven life forms under the immortal dao that had been baptized by endless cycles of reincarnation.

Standing off to the side, the attack rippled out to Houtu as well. Her image and concept began to dissolve beneath the immortal dao’s might, but before she was also lost upon the wind, raging energy of reincarnation suddenly surged into her body from an unknown patch of space.

The power didn’t come from hell, but from the chaos, and belonged to Tianqi. He offered up his last bit of control over reincarnation in this moment and gifted it to Houtu, enabling her to experience the process as well.

Houtu’s form stopped fading away and she discovered a gradual return of strength that had once belonged to her. It solidified her identity as the Yin Prince!

Being the first generation Yin Prince, she was the empress of the netherworld that walked the great wilderness. After her departure, Tianqi had stepped into her shoes as the second generation Yin Prince and never managed to pass it on after that.

Upon her return after experiencing reincarnation, Houtu was officially instated as the one and only Yin Prince beneath the immortal dao.

Since the heavenly palace’s master was Heavenly Emperor Qing Taxian, there would be a corresponding position in the kingdom of hell as well—the Yin Prince!

Mount Vastspace and the Timelight Tower materialized over the North Sea, slowly assimilating into the immortal dao and becoming one of its treasures instead of a human dao treasure. At the same time, the sword bell, sword cauldron, and sword tower of the primitive great dao also traveled through the void from an unknown world and merged with the immortal dao.

A huge jade-colored plate of light took shape in the air—the treasure of the immortal dao. Once grasped in Hongjun’s hands, the Jade Record of Creation was the big plate that Lu Yun and Qing Yu had seen in the Sovereign Rankings.

The three treasures of the primitive great dao and two of the human dao had summoned the treasure of the immortal dao. It was now officially known to the world, and the six treasures also represented a certain reversed process. The usual order went: from dao came one, and one begat two, two gave birth to three, and from three resulted all living things.

The process that’d actually occurred was that all living things had already existed in the great wilderness, and the primitive great dao resulted in three dao treasures. When the primitive great dao metamorphosed into the human dao, two more dao treasures were born. And finally, when human dao dissolved and was replaced by the immortal dao, the Jade Record of Creation appeared as its sole dao treasure.
