Chapter 102: Kong Xuan Goes to the Underworld, Shennong Desires to Prove the Dao
Kong Xuan returned to Jin'ao Island with the Jingwei bird that Nüwa had transformed into after her death. He thought Tongtian could save Nüwa, but Tongtian was also helpless. However, Tongtian instructed Kong Xuan to go to Houtu.
"Who goes there? This is the Netherworld, a forbidden place for living beings!" Kong Xuan was stopped by Xiang Liu, the great shaman in charge of guarding the Ghost Gate, as soon as he arrived at the Ghost Gate.
"I am Kong Xuan, a disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Jie Sect. I have important business to discuss with my Uncle Houtu," Kong Xuan stated his identity.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan!" Upon learning that the visitor was Kong Xuan, Xiang Liu's attitude softened, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, please forgive me. It is my duty. I need to inform the Goddess Houtu and obtain her permission before I can let you in."
Even though Kong Xuan was a disciple of the Jie Sect, Xiang Liu was still acting in an official capacity. Without Houtu's permission, he dared not let anyone into the Netherworld.
"Understood, please convey this message to the Great Shaman Xiangliu." Kong Xuan nodded, indicating his understanding.
"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist." After saying this, Xiang Liu went to Fengdu City to report to Houtu.
"Reporting to the Goddess Houtu, Kong Xuan, a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Leader, requests an audience outside the Gates of Hell," Xiang Liu said upon arriving in Fengdu City.
"Kong Xuan? Tongtian's disciple? What's he doing here?" Houtu was a little puzzled. Why would Kong Xuan come to the Netherworld to see her? However, since he was Tongtian's disciple, Houtu couldn't turn him away, so she said to Xiangliu, "Xiangliu, take Kong Xuan to Fengdu City."
"Yes, Xiang Liu obeys the decree!"
Soon, Xiang Liu brought Kong Xuan to Fengdu City.
"Disciple Kong Xuan greets Master Houtu!" Kong Xuan bowed to Houtu.
"No need for formalities!" Houtu nodded, then glanced at Kong Xuan, smiled, and said, "Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. You, the chief disciple of the Jie Sect, have not disappointed your teacher." Kong Xuan's cultivation level did indeed make Houtu look at him differently. After all, among the cultivators of Kong Xuan's generation, let alone the mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, there were very few even the Great Luo Golden Immortals. Moreover, Kong Xuan had not yet absorbed the merits of the Human Emperor's teacher. Once the Human Emperor returned to the throne and absorbed the merits of the Human Emperor's teacher, Kong Xuan might be able to break through to the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"Uncle-Master, you flatter me. It is all thanks to the teacher's excellent guidance," Kong Xuan said humbly in response to Houtu's praise.
"Humble and polite, you are very good. Brother Tongtian is very fortunate. Kong Xuan, what brings you to the Netherworld?" Houtu asked.
"I have come here today because I have received guidance from my master. I hope that my master can help save my grand-disciple." Then Kong Xuan told Houtu the whole story.
After listening, Houtu sighed, "What a pitiful little fellow. Well, since Brother Tongtian sent you to find me, I will help you out. Hand the girl over to me."
"Thank you, Uncle-Master!" Upon hearing that Houtu Xuanyi had come to his aid, Kong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and then handed the Jingwei bird to Houtu.
Houtu took the Jingwei bird and first extracted the girl's primordial spirit from its body. Soon, the girl's figure appeared, but she was still filled with resentment and her mind was unclear. Houtu used the law of reincarnation to completely eliminate the resentment in the girl's body.
The moment the resentment dissipated, the girl's spirit opened her eyes, her pupils constantly scanning her surroundings. When she saw Kong Xuan, she smiled and said, "Grandmaster!"
"Little girl!" Kong Xuan was very happy to see his beloved little girl and said, "Little girl, this is your ancestral master Houtu. Quickly greet your ancestral master."
"Are you Nvwa's ancestral master?" Nvwa asked curiously when she saw Houtu in front of her.
The moment the little girl awoke, Houtu was captivated by this adorable girl, revealing a loving smile as she said, "Yes, I am your grandmaster."
"Greetings, Master Uncle." The girl bowed politely to Houtu.
"Alright, little one, let your grandmaster reshape a body for you." Houtu nodded, then said to Kong Xuan, "Kong Xuan, reshaping a body for the little girl is not something that can be done in a short time. You should return to the human race for now. The matter of the Human Emperor cannot be taken lightly. Once the little girl has recovered, I will have someone send her back to the human race."
Reshaping the physical body requires innate resources, and Houtu needs to carefully consider what kind of innate resources would be best. Moreover, reshaping the physical body cannot be completed overnight. Kong Xuan is responsible for teaching the Human Emperor, so Houtu asked Kong Xuan to return to the human race first. After Nüwa recovers, Houtu will have someone send Nüwa back.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle-Master." Kong Xuan thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Moreover, there was no point in him staying in the Netherworld. It would be better to return to the human race first. Firstly, he could appease Shennong and prevent him from worrying. Secondly, he could continue to fulfill his mission.
After Kong Xuan returned to the human race, Shennong rushed to Kong Xuan's residence and anxiously asked, "Master, how is the girl? Does Grandmaster have any way to revive her?"
"Shennong, please calm down." Kong Xuan told Shennong to calm down first, and then said, "Your grandmaster couldn't save the girl, but with his guidance, I have already taken the girl to the Netherworld to ask your grandmaster Fengdu Emperor and Houtu Goddess for help. The girl is currently staying in the Netherworld. After she recovers, your grandmaster will send her back to the human race."
"That's good! That's good! Thank you, teacher!" When Shennong first heard that even Tongtian couldn't save Nvwa, he felt a sense of despair and thought he would never see Nvwa again in this life. But Kong Xuan actually took Nvwa to the Netherworld.
"Shennong, how did you handle the matter with the Dragon Clan?" After resolving the issue with Nüwa, Kong Xuan asked Shennong how to deal with the Dragon Clan. After all, although Nüwa was not dead, she had suffered greatly, and Kong Xuan could not swallow his anger if he did not avenge her.
Shennong told Kong Xuan how he had dealt with the dragon killer. Kong Xuan frowned and said with a displeased expression, "Shennong, is this how you dealt with it?" Kong Xuan was very dissatisfied with the outcome. How could someone who dared to kill his own disciple's grand-disciple think that he could get away with it in just one Yuanhui? That was far too lenient.
"Teacher, there's no other way. The culprit is the third prince of the East Sea Dragon King. The human race is currently at a critical stage of development and should not make enemies with other races. Since the girl is alright, there's no need to be too aggressive." Shennong said with a wry smile. It wasn't that he didn't want to punish Ao Bing severely, but he had to think about the human race. Making enemies with the dragon race would not benefit the human race at all.
"This is a matter for your human race, and I have no right to say anything. Since you have all accepted it, then so be it." Although Kong Xuan was not satisfied with this result, since Shennong and the human race had accepted it, Kong Xuan could not say anything. It was fortunate that Nüwa could be saved. If Nüwa had really died, even if the human race and Shennong could let it go, Kong Xuan would have personally killed Ao Bing. The human race was afraid of the dragon race, but Kong Xuan was not.
Now that the girl was alright, Shennong focused all his attention on governing the human race, hoping to attain the position of Emperor of Humanity as soon as possible and fulfill his mission.
Ten years later, Shennong felt that he was about to complete his merits, so he went to Kong Xuan's residence to visit his teacher Kong Xuan.
"Master, I have accomplished my goal of governing the human race and will soon be going to the human race's sacred temple," Shennong said to Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan looked at his disciple with deep emotion. Although he had come to teach Shennong with selfish motives, after spending so much time together, Guang Chengzi had truly come to regard Shennong as his own child. As the saying goes, love extends to everything connected to the beloved. Otherwise, Kong Xuan would not have made such a scene in the East Sea when Nüwa was killed, and even publicly questioned the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang.
"Good, after so much effort, you have finally achieved your wish. Go now, your master will follow you. On the day you attain enlightenment, your grandmaster and patriarch will also descend. You must prepare well." Kong Xuan nodded and said.
"Disciple understands!" Shennong replied.
