In the eighteen layers of the Netherworld, it was bright as daylight.

Houtu Ancestor Witch's eyes were slightly closed, with a vast and magnificent Daoist charm and sacred radiance enveloping her.

Yu Yuan stood at a distance, quietly sensing the charm of the Reincarnation Dao.

Just then, a blood-colored figure appeared in the eighteen layers of the Netherworld, first looking at the Houtu Ancestor Witch with unabashed envy, then shifting his gaze towards Yu Yuan and letting out a faint "Huh".

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

The newcomer asked while looking at Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan had already noticed the other party and was carefully observing him.

The newcomer had a pale face with deep wrinkles on his forehead, exuding an air of vast experience and wisdom.

His long hair draped over his shoulders, slightly disheveled, with strands of white hair mixed in, resembling silver threads.

He was wearing a dark red Daoist robe, adorned with black cloud patterns. Although his figure was somewhat frail, he emanated an unfathomable strength. Especially those eyes—deep and sharp, as if they could pierce through everything in the world.

A sinister and bloody aura lingered around him, sending shivers down one's spine.

At first, Yu Yuan did not recognize the origins of this person, but when he caught a whiff of the bloody scent, he immediately understood the identity of the other party!

The Lord of the Netherworld Blood Sea, Minghe Ancestor!

Yu Yuan was somewhat surprised in his heart. He did not expect to encounter Minghe Ancestor here.

However, he quickly came to terms with it.

The Netherworld Blood Sea beneath the eighteen layers of the Netherworld was Minghe Ancestor's lair.

With Houtu Ancestor Witch causing such a commotion here, this Quasi-Saint, obsessed with the pursuit of Sainthood, naturally would not miss this opportunity. Fresh chapters posted on novęlfire.net

Understanding this, Yu Yuan smiled and saluted towards Minghe Ancestor.

"Poor Daoist Tian Yuan, I've seen Minghe Daoist friend."

"You know of my origins?"

Minghe Ancestor asked indifferently.

"Daoist friend is the Lord of the Netherworld Blood Sea, and your body is enveloped in the aura of blood and death. Poor Daoist does still possess some insight," Yu Yuan replied calmly.

Minghe Ancestor's brows slightly furrowed.

To have his profound background seen through by the other party, yet not knowing the origins of this self-proclaimed Tian Yuan... It was an unpleasant feeling.

However, Minghe Ancestor was not afraid.

He was extremely confident in his Dao Xing, and with his treasures in abundance, he feared no one except a Saint in person!

"So, are you here with Houtu Ancestor Witch?"

Minghe Ancestor fixed his gaze on Yu Yuan, eyes shimmering with a sharp light.

"Sort of." Yu Yuan nodded slightly, not bothering to lie.

"Then do you know how Houtu Ancestor Witch obtained Sainthood?" continued Minghe Ancestor, his gaze intensifying with eagerness.

"That... Poor Daoist is not clear."

Yu Yuan responded.

In fact, Yu Yuan knew full well that Houtu Ancestor Witch's method to attain Sainthood was to incarnate as Reincarnation itself!

But not just anyone could achieve incarnation as Reincarnation.

That Houtu Ancestor Witch could do so was because she was originally formed from a wisp of turbid qi of Pangu God.

When Pangu God created Heaven and Earth, his body turned into all things.

Essentially, Primordial Heaven and Earth was the transformation of Pangu God's physical body.

Since the physical body of Houtu Ancestor Witch originated from Pangu God, naturally she could incarnate as Reincarnation to make up for the deficiencies of Primordial Heaven and Earth.

However, others did not possess such a qualification.

Yu Yuan, of course, knew this.

But these words couldn't come from his mouth, partly because Minghe Ancestor might not believe them, and partly because it would lead to unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Yu Yuan could only claim ignorance.

Minghe Ancestor did not speak any further. He quietly watched Yu Yuan, seemingly lost in thought.

Yu Yuan had witnessed Minghe Ancestor's prowess and was not intimidated by his presence, so he patiently met his gaze.

Time slipped away bit by bit. The bright radiance in the eighteen layers of the Netherworld still shone on Yu Yuan's face, making him appear pure and flawless.

On the opposite side, Minghe Ancestor had given up questioning and entered a state akin to meditation, quietly observing the Houtu Ancestor Witch, earnestly seeking to comprehend the Reincarnation Dao.

This scene lingered for what seemed like an eternity and yet felt like only a moment.

Yu Yuan, witnessing Minghe Ancestor's demeanor, couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion.

'This guy really is obsessed with attaining Sainthood!'

You should know that Minghe Ancestor was a Great God from the same era as Fu Xi and Nuwa, counting as one of the most powerful beings among the Quasi-Saints.

Even if he did nothing at all, with his background alone, he would surely be among the most eminent Quasi-Saints.

Yet, he chose to pursue the law to Sainthood at all costs, willing to try any method.

He saw Nuwa attain Sainthood by creating humans, so he too created the Asura Clan.

He saw The Three Pure Ones establish teachings and attain Sainthood, so he too established the Asura Sect.

He witnessed the Western Great God make a Great Vow and attain Sainthood, so he too made a Great Vow.

Regrettably, all his actions were mere imitations, without truly grasping the underlying significance, naturally, he couldn't talk about attaining Sainthood.

Nevertheless, for the sake of Sainthood, it could be said that he stopped at nothing.

If just now Yu Yuan had told him that incarnating as Reincarnation to complement Primordial Heaven and Earth could allow one to become a Merit Saint, perhaps the Sect Hierarch of the Asura Sect would have indeed been willing to give it a try.

However, Yu Yuan was not very knowledgeable about this area, and convincing Minghe Ancestor would not be an easy task.
