Zaun had been thinking about where the beacon of the laws of this world was, but he hadn't considered the fact that the beacon of the laws didn't exist yet.
Looking back now, that beacon of law was indeed exceptionally special. Beacons of law in other worlds usually only have one color, but the beacon of law in this world was seven-colored.
I used to think it was because of the singularity world, but now it seems that it might be because it has been integrated into the Six Paths that it has so many colors.
He wasn't initially so willing to go to great lengths to help the other party collect the authority of the Six Paths, but since it concerned that beacon of law, he had no choice but to go.
Without that beacon of law, many things in the future would not be possible. He even suspected that the beacon of law would disappear directly after he returned to the future.
Having experienced this time travel, he discovered that often the cause and effect are reversed. The events of this era and those of later generations do not develop in the sequential order one might imagine, but rather in a near-real-time synchronous relationship.
Since that's the case, he can't ignore this matter.
“I can help collect them, but it seems that it will take a long time to collect them all. I just heard from the Empress that you are in such a state that you don’t seem to be able to hold on for much longer. I’m afraid…” This is what Zu’an is most worried about. He spent so much time just collecting the “Great Canon of Life and Death in the Netherworld”. Now that he wants to collect the authority of the entire Six Paths, the time that will take is unimaginable.
The voice of Houtu's illusory figure rang out: "Since that law beacon exists in the future, it proves that I have succeeded in refining it this time, and it also proves that you will definitely be able to collect all the tokens of authority before I disappear. I believe in you."
Zuan: "..."
He really wanted to tell you that this was idealism, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go along with it.
"I must conserve enough energy and enter a period of slumber. Call me back when you have gathered enough," said the phantom of Houtu, before its figure began to gradually dissipate.
Seeing the Ox-Head and Horse-Face lurking menacingly nearby, Zu'an immediately became anxious: "But what about those witch clans..."
"Don't worry, I will talk to them." Houtu's illusory figure finished answering, and then the entire space was filled with her god-like voice, "The Wu Clan and the Asura Clan shall temporarily cease hostilities. From now on, this... Emperor Fengdu is a friend of the Wu Clan. You should do your best to cooperate with whatever he asks."
Although the communication between Zuan and Houtu's illusory image lasted a long time, it was only on a spiritual level, and from the outside perspective, it only lasted a moment.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face were originally grinning and waiting to see how their ancestral witch would crush this kid, but in the blink of an eye, they were greeted with this result.
“But the Ancestral Witch…” Ox-Head and Horse-Face wondered what kind of bewitching potion this kid had given the Ancestral Witch. They wanted to say something more, but the phantom of Houtu didn’t give them a chance and had already disappeared.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face: "..."
Golden shackles and silver chains: "..."
I never expected that the enemy I was fighting to the death with just a second ago would now be greeted with a smile.
It was Niu Tou who spoke first, patting his chest and saying in a deep voice, "Although we don't know why the Ancestral Witch made this arrangement, we trust the Ancestral Witch's judgment. From now on, you are our Witch Clan's best friend. If you have anything to say, just say the word."
Zuan smiled and said, "We'll probably be friends for a long time."
Thinking about the duties of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guardians in later generations, Zu An couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate.
Niu Tou was taken aback, not quite understanding what he meant.
Zuan had already flown to Princess Nihuang and her brother's side: "King Asura, how are your injuries?"
"It's nothing serious, I'll be fine after some rest." Now that the terrifying halo had disappeared, Asura King stood up, straightened his chest, and showed no sign of anything amiss on his face.
Princess Nihuang, standing beside her, bit her lip and said sadly, "Brother, you used that skill, and now you probably don't have many days left to live, yet you're still acting tough."
Asura King instantly deflated like a punctured balloon, his entire expression aging considerably: "Nihuang, can't you give your brother a little face?"
Princess Nihuang bit her lip tightly, trying her best to hold back her tears.
Zuan took out a Frostheart Creation Pill and had him take it: "How do you feel?"
The Ice Heart Creation Pill is a supreme spiritual medicine of Baiyujing, extremely rare. Even Yan Xuehen, as the abbot, could only carry two, and later he and Zu'an each had one.
Of course, that was at the beginning. Later, given the close relationship between Zu'an and Yan Xuehen, she secretly took some from the sect for him to use for self-defense. However, given Zu'an's current cultivation level, he basically never needed to use them.
"This elixir is truly miraculous. Our Asura secret technique is so powerful, yet it can extend my life by a month." The Asura King marveled.
Hearing what the other party said, Zuan was not surprised at all. How could the Ice Heart Creation Pill save someone who was regarded as a secret technique by the Asura royal family?
She couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity I've used up all the Feather Mountain Spirit Spring water I have, otherwise I might have been able to save your life."
"Yushan Spirit Spring, what is that? I will definitely go and find it for my brother!" Nihuang said hurriedly.
“I’m afraid we can’t get into that place anymore,” Zu’an said, then suddenly paused. He remembered that the secret realm of the Demon Clan’s royal tomb seemed to open once every long period of time. He had already entered it when it opened in his later life, and it would probably not open again for many years to come.
But that's all in the past now; maybe that secret realm is opening soon.
Moreover, the Goddess Houtu asked him to collect tokens from the Six Paths, including the Heavenly Path.
After much thought, the most likely place to be the Heavenly Dao World is the world within the Demon Clan Royal Mausoleum Secret Realm.
The demon race is a descendant of the Heavenly Court's demon race, and their imperial tombs must have intricate connections with the Heavenly Court's demon race.
More importantly, he had witnessed the existence of the Heavenly Court in that secret realm.
Thinking of this, he became somewhat excited: "Next, I'm going to some places where I might be able to find the miraculous medicine to save your brother."
"Really?" Princess Nihuang grabbed his hand excitedly. She was overjoyed. Was this the person destined by heaven?
The Asura King, however, was more composed: "Was it about what that Lady Houtu was talking to you about just now?"
As the king of Asuras, although he is no match for Houtu now, he can tell that the two have just had a long exchange of divine thoughts.
Zuan nodded and then briefly recounted what Houtu had just said.
"The token of authority of the Six Paths..." King Asura thought for a moment, then took out a token that resembled a military tally from his bosom. The token was engraved with various ferocious and domineering patterns, but in the very center of the token was a pure and transparent beautiful gemstone, which emitted a brilliant yet soft light, neutralizing the fierce aura on the entire token.
Zaun initially thought it was a huge diamond, but quickly dismissed the guess. The material didn't seem right; this gem was clearly much more magical, as if it contained boundless power.
Seemingly sensing his gaze, the Asura King explained, "This gem is the only tear left behind by a famous female war goddess in the history of our Asura clan. This is the symbol of authority of our Asura path."
