Chapter 38: Chapter 38: This Sister, I Seem to Have Seen Her Somewhere Before

The gains from this journey were already significant, but just as Nezha was planning to leave, he encountered someone.

A woman with hair white as snow held in place by a copper hairpin, red pupils full of indifference, dressed in a simple black and red long robe.

Nezha looked at the snowy white hair and ruby-like pupils, and instinctively said, "Sister, have we met somewhere before?"

Hearing this, the woman couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, "Next time you reincarnate, drink a few more bowls."

You think you’ve met me before; you must’ve drunk too little Meng Po soup.

Nezha regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. Damn it, how did this white-haired, red-eyed fan follow me into the Primordial Chaos?

He quickly performed a salute seriously, reporting his background along the way, "Disciple of Lady Nuwa, Li Nezha, greets the elder."

The female immortal softly spoke, "I am Meng Po."

After waiting for a while without further words, Nezha could only helplessly ask, "May I know why Elder Meng Po is looking for the younger generation?"

Meng Po seemed like a delicate NPC, "Bring back Xingtian."

Nezha was bewildered and tilted his head, "Huh? Me?"

With a wave of her hand, Meng Po made a drop of crystalline water float before Nezha. Instantly, he felt his Seven Emotions and Six Desires infinitely magnified—greed for wealth, desire for women, arrogance after gaining cultivation; all kinds of thoughts inundated Nezha’s mind.

Meng Po, seeing Nezha entering a trance, turned away and disappeared.

However, Nezha’s heart for seeking the Dao was firm, and after drifting in chaos with the Creation Jade Scroll, he bit by bit severed his excess emotions and desires.

When Nezha regained his senses, he had a feeling like his soul was purified, seeing clearly his true nature.

He was still human, seeking to pursue the Great Dao, but wouldn’t give up his humanity for it.

Mana had accumulated, and his Heart Realm had reached perfection; Nezha could ascend to Heavenly Immortal at any time.

At the same time, he received the message from the water droplet before him: it was a Tears of Ten Thousand Spirits refined from the Seven Emotions and Six Desires removed from countless beings before entering reincarnation.

Its most outstanding function was to influence and magnify the Seven Emotions and Six Desires of others. Meng Po gave it to Nezha to eliminate Xingtian’s unyielding anger and hatred, allowing Xingtian to naturally find peace.

Nezha used his Divine Soul to slowly wrap the tear drop and absorb it into his soul, forming a beautiful tear mole under his eye.

Rubbing his brow to calm his again turbulent emotions, he flew towards the Heavenly Court. Having accepted the benefits, he still needed to complete the task, and interacting with the Witch Clan was greatly beneficial to his cultivation.

In a palace deep within the earth, a Great Virtue Earth Queen in black court dress wearing a coronet look helplessly at her Good Corpse, Meng Po. She herself didn’t want this, but guarding the Six Daos of Reincarnation meant any slight emotion would be infinitely magnified by the emotions of all beings.

So Meng Po’s appearance was for a good reason.

Suddenly feeling the disturbance of the void, "Oh, sister, have we met somewhere before?"

Followed by a string of laughter.

Houtu helplessly said, "You unruly fellow, the disciple you taught is just as unruly."

Nuwa and Houtu both resided on Buzhou Mountain. As top-tier female warriors of the Primordial times, one wielded dual blades from east to west of Buzhou Mountain, while the other punched heavily from south to north; they actually had a good relationship.

They also had shared topics of interest.

But later in the Witch-Demon War, Fu Xi was coaxed by Di Jun and Taiyi to become the Demon Emperor, and Nuwa joined for the sake of her troublesome brother.

Their relationship was thoroughly broken.

However, now, after a long time, Ancestor Witch Houtu had already integrated into reincarnation, and now there was only the Earth Dao Saint, the Great Virtue Earth Queen. Ancestor Witch Houtu had been Lady Houtu, but Lady Houtu was no longer Ancestor Witch Houtu.

On Nuwa’s side, Fu Xi had been resurrected, and truthfully, Nuwa didn’t want to pursue past issues.

Once best friends who fought every day, the pinnacle female immortals of the Primordial now found themselves in a strange state, wanting to reconcile yet with too much pride to say it.

At present, Nezha served as a good bridge between them.

Since the conversation had started, Nuwa naturally began to share gossip with her best friend, "Like Yin Shou being knocked down by two strikes from a monkey, or almost being eaten by a wild boar."

Houtu, who had been in the earth for many years, laughed until she was shaking with delight.

After their chat ended, a Witch Clan Judge came to report work, handing over some accumulated documents. Houtu’s once cheerful mood turned bitter again; the Witch Clan was a bunch of barbarians, roaring for fights, but half-dead when handling bureaucracy.

This was why even some daily matters required her, the Earth Dao Saint, to handle personally. If not managed, the reincarnation would be chaotic.

This was why the underworld welcomed everyone to lend a hand—anyone willing to work was welcomed!

While reviewing the documents, Houtu idly chatted with the Judge, "I heard Human King Yin Shou practiced some Lightning Five-Chain Whip and sought duels, only to get swollen and bruised, saying young people lack martial virtue..."

"Pfft!"

The Judge held back laughter with effort, replying, "Goddess, our Witch Clan lads only speak of winning and losing, no empty words."

Soon, the Judge returned to his hall with the documents, surrounded by a few little ghosts serving at his side, using one hand to scratch his foot while the other hand held a pen to edit, "Oh dear, the Human Clan is starting to decline. The dignified Human King loses and doesn’t admit it..."

"Human King loses to a child and doesn’t admit it..."

"Human King loses to a three-year-old in a nursing contest and doesn’t admit it..."

Yin Shou’s name became great once again!

...

Meanwhile, Nezha had arrived at the South Heavenly Gate, and circled this famous Primordial landmark twice before entering.

Soon after, he sensed a massive energy fluctuation in the distance, accompanied by a sky-piercing roar.

Xingtian, transformed into a bulldozer, ceaselessly destroyed everything around, occasionally finding a Jie Sect Immortal in a building and smashing them with a single punch.

The Jie Sect Immortals wanted to escape, but Hao Tian had long tampered with the Four Heavenly Gates; they could enter but not exit.

Looking at the rampaging Xingtian, Nezha also felt a headache, yet he could not contend with this fierce man.

Suddenly, from afar, a female immortal adorned with a jade crown and blue-white court attire shouted, "What manner of demon dares to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Court? Watch as I deal with you."

With a hand gesture, several Immortal Swords materialize behind her, forming a massive sword wheel that slashes towards Xingtian’s back.

Clang, clang, clang—no defense was broken.

Long Ji changed her hand signs again, further summoning four more treasure swords, producing countless sword shadows attacking Xingtian.

The furious Xingtian gave up his previous target, turned around with a roar, and the overarching black aura ensnared the sword shadows, rebounding them towards Long Ji.

Long Ji clearly lacked combat experience, fumbling to pull out a small flag and holding it before her.

From the shadows, the Queen Mother Yaochi shook her head in disapproval; such powerful mana but used tastefully amiss.

Watching the entire scene, Nezha couldn’t help but quip, "Whose young lady is here to experience life?"
