Chapter 738: Chapter 465: Jieyin and Fried Fish

"I am Houtu, today I shall complete reincarnation once and for all!" Houtu declared, unwilling to show weakness.

Once again, she formed an array with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

It was in the instant the array formed that the six paths of reincarnation began to spin rapidly.

Although there was no particularly magnificent scene, the creatures of Primordial could distinctly feel that something deep within their souls seemed different, could it be?

"Perfecting reincarnation, soul-marking the creatures of Primordial, as long as a creature of Primordial falls, no matter where its soul is, it can be brought back!" The Supreme of the Dao Realm declared.

"What a clever trick, truly a clever trick. With this, aside from the creatures of Primordial, other beings wishing to exploit Primordial’s loopholes have no chance!"

Within the netherworld, an exceedingly ethereal soul was mingling among a large group of ghosts.

Here, in the land of the netherworld, is where life passes on.

A wandering soul has to cross the Three-Life Stone, traverse over the Naihe Bridge, drink the Meng Po Soup...

Only after a series of processes can a soul be reincarnated.

However, this soul did not originate from Primordial, rather it was a Saint King from the Myriad Realms.

While countless creatures of the Heavens visited the open Dao fields of Primordial to listen to the Dao, to comprehend the Laws, and to strengthen their power,

this one harbored different thoughts.

That was to completely transform into a creature of Primordial.

And the netherworld presented the perfect opportunity.

He played his tricks and had reached the final step; as long as he passed through the six paths of reincarnation, he could retain his memories and thoroughly reincarnate into Primordial.

The outlook for Primordial was bright, becoming a creature of Primordial had many benefits.

But just as he was about to take the final step into the reincarnation cycle, a ray of light suddenly shone down, piercing deep into his soul.

"No..."

With a cry of agony, the soul was rendered powerless and reduced to ash, ceasing to exist.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one with the idea of reincarnating into a creature of Primordial; there were many others.

Some of them were even at the Saint Emperor level.

Some had even succeeded in entering the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn.

Without exception, all were eradicated!

With her attainment of the Dao, Houtu directly sealed the loophole in the netherworld.

She soul-marked the true spirits of the creatures of Primordial, barring non-Primordial beings from being reborn through the underworld.

If Nu Wa’s grace benefitted all creatures of the Heavens, then Houtu’s method effectively cut off many of their aspirations.

"It seems the loopholes of Primordial are not so easily exploited," Supreme of Light lamented.

He had also arranged for people to explore the path to rebirth.

He even prepared to send his true spirit there, hoping to catch some opportunities of Primordial.

Now, however, he had given up on that idea.

Under the complete cycle of reincarnation, even Supremes couldn’t exploit any loopholes.

Immediately after, the Buddhistic light in the west shone brightly.

A Buddha appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The Buddha Sect Jieyin!

"My Buddha opens the gate of convenience. All beings who wish to become creatures of Primordial are welcome to come to my Western Land," he said.

This statement immediately caused a stir.

The path through the netherworld had been sealed.

No one expected the Buddha Sect to open another gate.

They waited to see Houtu’s reaction, as this was within her jurisdiction, where the Buddha Sect had no say.

But Houtu remained silent, giving her tacit approval.

Thus, the Buddha Sect became a hot commodity, with countless individuals flocking to it.

A complete world, complete Laws, infinite potential, with three top-tier Supremes presiding, including the presence of the Chaos Martial Ancestor.

Primordial was absolutely an excellent destination.

"These two baldies are always so opportunistic!" Minghe chuckled and cursed.

The powerful beings of Primordial felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.

But they also showed understanding.

The Buddha Sect was desperate.

Jieyin and Zhunti were famously shameless.

Of course, the most important point was that they all understood the Buddha Sect knew its limits, it wouldn’t bring in too many creatures of the Heavens, nor would it disrupt the order of Primordial.

Otherwise, Houtu surely wouldn’t have ignored the matter.

Of course, such privileges weren’t exclusive to the Buddha Sect. If other sects like the Three Pure Ones or Zhen Yuan Zi wanted to attract creatures of the Heavens, as long as they didn’t go too far, Houtu would turn a blind eye.

But they weren’t as eager as Jieyin and Zhunti.

When faced with the throngs of creatures from the Heavens, Jieyin and Zhunti were well-prepared.

Jieyin, in his Buddha incarnation, proclaimed loudly, "Although my Buddha Sect gladly opens the gate of convenience, we still adhere to the Law of Affinity."

"May I ask, Saint Emperor Jieyin, how can one enter the Buddha Sect?" someone inquired.

Many had come and were eagerly waiting.

"To enter my Buddha Sect, one must pass through eighty-one challenging barriers. Those who succeed will be recognized by the Primordial Source and become disciples of the Buddha Sect," Jieyin replied.

He gestured with his hand, and a portal filled with Buddhistic light appeared.

Soon after, those creatures of the Heavens started to enter one after another.

To gain access to Primordial, they would challenge not just eighty-one but even nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine barriers if necessary.

In plain terms, they all just wanted a Primordial identity.

Certainly, Jieyin’s Law of Affinity was meticulous.

Despite the multitude, the Buddha Sect intended to select only a thousand individuals.

The selection process was also very rigorous.

Either strength or exceptional talent.

Of course, their background and history had to be clean too.

For this, they even connected with the Ancestral Martial Sun Wukong, asking him to help them screen and verify whether the Supremes had tampered with these individuals.

As the powerful beings of Primordial had anticipated, the Buddha Sect might be yearning, but they knew where to draw the line.

Jieyin and Zhunti definitely did not want to become sinners of Primordial.

"This Buddha Sect of Primordial really has a good tactic, using the condition of becoming a creature of Primordial to take away so many prodigies of my Heavens!" Supreme of Light grudgingly said.
