Chapter 164: The Incarnation of Fu Xi (2/2)
Goddess Nvywa thought for a long time before she finally decided to head for Mount Shouyang, where she could ask Laozi for help, who was the first disciple of Hongjun and the most powerful one among all the sages. Laozi still owed Karma to Goddess Nvywa, so she could offer a deal for his help. Though it was not a bargain for Goddess Nvywa, it was the sole way out. Besides, the reincarnation of Fuxi was no difficult a thing for Laozi.
Laozi was just coming back to Mount Shouyang when he heard the greetings of Goddess Nvywa, ”Brother Laozi, Goddess Nvywa begs for an audience.” At such words, Laozi frowned, wondering the intentions of her visit, since they had just met in Zixiao Palace.
Laozi answered, ”Come in please, sister.” In a blink of an eye, Goddess Nvywa appeared in the palace. Bewildered, Laozi asked, ”Why rush here instead of returning to your Wahuang Heaven, sister? To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?”
”It's for my brother Fuxi. I need your help for his reincarnation. My brother, you know, the Six Paths of Reincarnation that Fuxi has to go through is controlled by the Ancestor of Sorcery, Houtu. I can only count on you to help him out now, and if you make it, all the Karma you owe to me would be written off. How is that for a deal?” Goddess Nvywa asked.
Laozi was about to refuse it because he knew too well that if he helped Fuxi to reincarnate, Houtu would definitely bear grudges against him. However, since Goddess Nvywa promised to write off his debt, he decided to give it another thought.
Laozi couldn't think of a better way to pay back the Karma, so he accepted the deal and said, ”That's a deal. Now leave me the left piece of his Purusa, and I will handle it.”
Hearing that, with a wide smile on her face, Goddess Nvywa unfolded the Mountain and River Maplet and let out Fuxi's Purusa. Fuxi bowed to Laozi and said, ”Deep appreciation for your help, Sage Grand Pure.” Fuxi always bore in mind the due etiquette and politeness to a sage, because he knew that though Laozi addressed him as 'fellow Taoist', Laozi, as a sage, still had a far higher status than him.
With a nodding of his head, Laozi drew back Fuxi's Purusa. He then said, ”Reincarnation Gate. Open!” The Human Gate of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was then forced to be open by a swelling Power of Infinity. In an instant, Fuxi was sent in by Laozi with a simple wave of his sleeve.
All of a sudden, Houtu's boisterous scream approached, ”How dare you! Reincarnation, off!” Hou Tu, back in the Nether Land, sensed it soon after Laozi forced the Human Gate open. Since the Six Paths of Reincarnation was transferred from her flesh before, not even the slightest movement of it could ever escape her notice.
It was all clear to Houtu that Laozi wanted to help Fuxi go through the reincarnation process. However, for whatever reason that Laozi wanted to meddle in this affair, Houtu would never allow Fuxi, a Demon Tribesman, to go through reincarnation. So, she stopped it in time, hoping to crush Fuxi's last piece of Purusa.
Laozi had expected Houtu's interference, so he summoned out a Map of Taichi, which was turned into a golden bridge, instantly forming a strong protection spell for Fuxi. Houtu, however hard she tried, failed to break the spell and Fuxi was soon to enter into reincarnation.
Houtu snarled in anger, ”You will not get away with that. I will make him suffer if it is the last thing I can do.” In a minute, a gush of power surged and swelled, breaching the bridge. Soon enough, a trickle of water followed Fuxi into the Six Paths of Reincarnation through the crevice.
The situation startled both Goddess Nvywa and Laozi because that trickle of water was by no means ordinary. It was Five Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness from the Nether World and was used to make people forget about the happenings in their past lives when they reincarnated. Now it was splattered on Fuxi's Purusa, so he might no longer remember who he was, right up until the day he fulfilled his Tao.
Laozi, however, was more surprised by Houtu's power. Houtu didn't use her Bell of Chaos, yet she did win in that fight, even if Laozi had resorted to the Map of Ta Chi. Houtu was still going through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, yet she had already demonstrated her strong power. Obviously, she would be far stronger after it, let alone the fact that she still had the Bell of Chaos in hand.
When it came to the next Cultivation Tribulation, Houtu would be free, and by then, she might be a threat to all the sages, including Laozi himself. He could not even imagine how much stronger Houtu would be by then.
But now, Laozi looked at Goddess Nvywa, who was laden with anxiety and said, ”You don't have to worry so much about it. Fellow Taoist Fuxi has a life connected to the Human Sovereign, and Minghe would also send disciples to guide him. By the time that Fuxi fulfills his cultivation as Human Sovereign, he will have recalled his memory.”
