Chapter 203: Consulting the Book of Life and Death
Hearing this, Daoist Xiao Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Indeed. My purpose in coming to the Netherworld this time is precisely to borrow the Book of Life and Death, the Human Book! Back then, when Demon Ancestor Luohou was besieged by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Great Immortal Yangmei, and other powerful beings, he had no choice but to self-detonate in the Western region. Given the supreme status of the Dao Ancestor and Great Immortal Yangmei, since Luohou managed to retain a wisp of remnant soul despite self-detonating right in front of them, why couldn't Fellow Daoist Hongyun do the same? After all, back then Fellow Daoist Hongyun had already cut one corpse, and he even possessed a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure like the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd. It is entirely possible for a trace of his true spirit to survive a self-detonation. As the Primordial World's ultimate 'good guy,' he naturally carried boundless merit and extraordinary karmic luck. I reckon the probability of Fellow Daoist Hongyun retaining a trace of his true spirit to undergo reincarnation and rebirth is extremely high!"
Although Emperor Fengdu did not know much about Taoist Hongyun, he found himself largely in agreement after hearing Daoist Xiao Xuan's deduction.
