Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Primordial Female Immortal Public Enemy

From this point on, the Blood Sea faction was forcibly split into two halves.

Nezha stopped the worried Lady Rashamon from rushing back immediately, saying, "The situation isn’t clear yet. What if you go back only to lose your head for nothing?"

The lovestruck Lady Rashamon immediately accepted Nezha’s concern and left her mother and sisters aside.

Nezha casually arranged for her to stay while he himself went to visit Lady Houtu.

At the Houtu Palace, Lady Houtu looked at Nezha with an awe-inspired gaze. To be looked at like this by Houtu was indeed unprecedented in the Primordial world.

Nezha clearly sensed Lady Houtu’s gaze and tried hard to explain, "Goddess, I honestly didn’t do much!"

Houtu nodded in agreement, "That’s true. If you had gone a bit further, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Goddess, is there any chance that the Ancestor of Nether River always had a fondness for women’s clothing?"

Surprisingly, Houtu began seriously considering Nezha’s offhand remark. As the Nether River’s neighbor for countless Yuan Hui eras, she understood him quite well—and to be honest, there were times when Nether River’s crazed antics did resemble her own and Nuwa’s before becoming Saints.

Seeing Houtu lost in thought, Nezha assumed he might have hit the nail on the head and fell silent, thinking, "This matter definitely isn’t my fault."

Interrupting her train of wild speculation, Houtu first explained the reasons behind Nether River’s current state, then said, "For Nether River to return to his original form, one side must inevitably swallow the other.

The Nether River Mother, having just split off, is relatively at a disadvantage. You can act as an envoy for the underworld, ally with her, suppress the Ancestor of Nether River and the male Asuras, divide the Blood Sea’s power, and reclaim some authority.

As for the benefits you can gain from this matter, that depends on your own abilities."

What Houtu didn’t say was that this bunch of male Asuras were unbearably foul-mouthed—none of them deserved to have it easy.

Nether River himself had no idea that he had become a common enemy of the Primordial female immortals. Initially, the matter was confined within the Blood Sea, so no one knew how much chaos it caused. But now the situation had escalated so much that every well-known female immortal in the Primordial world was aware of it.

Even the male immortals weren’t spared.

In fact, some of the male immortals were even angrier than the female immortals—particularly the top two sister-loving figures of the Primordial world: Fu Xi and Zhao Gongming. Fu Xi, stuck in the Fire Cloud Cave, could only let loose a few curses.

Zhao Gongming, who had been drinking with his sisters, suddenly couldn’t stand it anymore. "You can curse me all you want, but if you dare curse my sisters, you’re truly courting death!"

Without hesitation, he stood up, ready to head to the Blood Sea to deal with Nether River.

Bixiao and Qiong Xiao, filled with rage and fearlessness, also expressed their readiness to challenge Nether River.

Yunxiao, the brains among the four siblings, immediately stopped the furious Zhao Gongming, glaring at the troublemaking "No Brainer" and "Unhappy."

She then gently comforted her brother, saying, "Since our transformation, our elder brother has always cared deeply for us three sisters. There’s no way he would stoop to Nether River’s level."

Old Zhao was happier being praised by his sister than by his teacher.

Yunxiao continued, "We’re currently in the middle of a great catastrophe. The situation in the underworld is complicated and involves Nether River, making it truly inadvisable to intervene. Let’s wait until after the catastrophe and then, the four of us siblings can go challenge this so-called ’great figure.’"

Zhao Gongming, basking in the praise of his eldest sister, laughed heartily and obediently nodded in agreement.

Qiong Xiao and Bixiao hung their heads, looking like students scolded by their teacher.

Similarly affected was Duobao Daoist. Tongtian Sect Master had summoned his four direct disciples over for a gathering with the intention of sharing some laughs.

After watching the whole affair, Jin Ling, Wudang, and Gui Ling all coincidentally cast a glance at Duobao Daoist. Duobao Daoist inwardly cursed Nether River while outwardly declaring indignantly, "Male and female cultivators of the Primordial world all pursue the Dao equally. There is no hierarchy between them!"

Jin Ling Saint Mother, whose personality was the most unyielding due to her transformation from Innate Geng Metal Qi, angrily said, "Senior brother is absolutely right. If given the chance, I’ll show Nether River the power of my Jade Ruyi!"

The similarly hot-tempered Gui Ling Saint Mother immediately echoed her agreement!

The calmest among them, Wudang, remained silent.

Tongtian Sect Master and Duobao exchanged a knowing glance.

...

On Nezha’s end, he was preparing to set out for the Blood Sea to meet this Nether River Mother.

As for his safety, there was little cause for concern. With two Saints backing him, unless she was utterly mad, she wouldn’t dare kill him. Still, Nezha made sure to wear the Mountain and River Map for added caution.

Accompanied by the elated Lady Rashamon, he headed to the smaller faction of the Blood Sea. Due to the dramatic changes in the environment, Rashamon couldn’t immediately locate the place. Luckily, they were eventually greeted by a Female Asura.

The moment Rashamon saw her, she joyfully ran forward, "Elder sister!"

The Female Asura turned her body to welcome her younger sister, but her eyes were entirely fixed on Nezha.

Rashamon, instinctively sensing danger, quickly stood protectively in front of Nezha. "Elder sister, what are you staring at?!"

The Female Asura coquettishly said, "Little sister, I’ve been spoiling you for nothing. Such a treasure, and you plan to keep it all to yourself."

Nezha’s mouth twitched slightly. Sure, you are indeed beautiful, but I have absolutely zero ambition of being a prime minister.

"Underworld Envoy Li Nezha, sent by Lady Ping Xin, here to meet Nether River—um, the Nether River senior."

The woman’s demeanor grew more serious upon hearing the names of Lady Ping Xin and Nether River.

She led the two of them toward the newly-built grand hall.

It was there that Nezha finally met the legendary Nether River senior. He had to admit—the reality was entirely different from his expectations.

Nether River Mother wore a blood-red robe. Her long black hair was casually tied at the back, and her crimson eyes occasionally flickered with a bloody glow. "You sure have guts, daring to come alone into the Blood Sea after causing me to end up in this state!"

With that, a wave of killing intent surged straight at Nezha’s Divine Soul.

In an instant, Nezha’s consciousness was engulfed by the boundless Blood Sea. His vision turned entirely scarlet, surrounded by viscous blood constantly pouring into his mouth and nose, threatening to suffocate him to death.

Nezha reacted swiftly, channeling the lotus whiskers from his spine, forming a radiant and sacred wheel of light behind his head. The gentle Golden Light illuminated the surroundings, gradually dispelling the overwhelming Blood Sea.

Opening his eyes, Nezha panted heavily for a moment, thinking, "This lunatic really goes straight to action."

Still, she clearly held back—if it had been a full-blown attack by a Quasi-Saint, he definitely wouldn’t have survived on his own.

Meanwhile, Lady Rashamon, who had been kneeling to plead for mercy, quickly stood up and asked with concern, "Nezha, Nezha. Are you hurt?"

Nezha shook his head, signaling that he was fine—in fact, his Divine Soul had advanced instead of being harmed.

Nether River Mother, looking at the Merit Golden Wheel behind Nezha’s head, felt envious. In the Primordial world, merit had become increasingly hard to come by. If she had such merit for cultivation, she wouldn’t have been weaker than the Ancestor of Nether River.

Previously, it wasn’t an issue, but now that the two had split, both Nether River entities shared the same thought: to swallow the other and become the singular Nether River.
