Chen Shi arrived at Houde Palace, and Lady Houtu was just walking out. She had changed her attire, wearing a light yellow Daoist robe with golden hems, and an inner lining of green, which was quite simple.

Her long hair draped over her shoulders, untouched by makeup, yet she wore earrings woven from rosaries, appearing very refreshing. In her hand, she carried a golden spade, only three feet long, quite petite.

"Where is Godmother going?" Chen Shi inquired.

"Always staying in the palace to settle accounts is boring; it's better to take advantage of the free time and go plant the Purple Heaven Vine."

Lady Houtu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, come along."

Chen Shi followed her, and the two arrived at Gao Gang. Lady Houtu searched for a suitable place to plant the Purple Heaven Vine and said, "The Purple Heaven Vine is truly domineering; it must be planted far from the small willow, lest it strangulates it."

Chen Shi considered his words and said, "I followed Godmother's instructions and planted the Wu Qi and the Immortal Gourd Seeds. Now, the Wu Qi has already sprouted. But today, I saw that two Wu Qis have sprouted."

"Only two?"

Lady Houtu was surprised and said, "Wu Qi is so powerful? Only two have sprouted. Could it be that he was a Taiyi Golden Immortal in his previous life?"

Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat, "Could there be more Wu Qis about to sprout?"

Lady Houtu chose a spot and planned to dig up the yellow soil. Chen Shi grabbed the golden spade and volunteered to help.

Lady Houtu had donned this fresh attire intending to plant the Purple Heaven Vine herself, but with Chen Shi volunteering, she was pleased to relax and smiled, "In the Earth Immortal Realm, there was a Taiyi Golden Immortal who died at the hands of an enemy. He relied on the Immortal Gourd Seeds of the Purple Heaven Vine to resurrect. On the vine, two Taiyi Golden Immortals emerged. It seems the seeds of the Immortal Gourd contain the power of the Purple Heaven Vine, and the vitality is too strong, so it prepared an extra. Later, this person found his enemy, avenged his grievances, and perished with the enemy. Unexpectedly, after he died, he resurrected from the other body on the vine. This event caused quite a sensation; hence, the Purple Heaven Vine became noticed."

Chen Shi dug the pit and said, "The people born from the Purple Heaven Vine can come down when ripe, isn't it such that there would be two of oneself?"

Lady Houtu said, "No. Only if the original body dies, the other self on the vine will become the main body. What Realm is Wu Qi in?"

Chen Shi speculated, "Wu Qi should not be a Taiyi Golden Immortal, probably just in the Golden Immortal Realm."

Lady Houtu took out the Immortal Gourd Seeds, bent down, and planted the seeds into the pit, saying, "Then it won't be just two incarnations. It could grow twenty or thirty."

"Twenty or thirty?" Chen Shi was startled.

Lady Houtu took the spade from his hand and personally tended the soil, saying, "The difference between a Golden Immortal and a Taiyi Golden Immortal is significant and cannot be compared. Producing twenty or thirty Wu Qis is already a modest expectation. If the Wu Qi's strength isn't that great, producing a hundred or more shouldn't be an issue."

Chen Shi listened and couldn't help but envy, "If only I could also be like that—undying and immortal."

Lady Houtu laughed and said, "Being like that, for him, has its pros and cons. Whatever Cultivation level and strength you have when planted, that's the level you return with when revived. Even if you make great progress during that time, your revived strength remains unchanged."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Having twenty or thirty lives is always better than having none."

Lady Houtu laughed and said, "That's true indeed."

At this moment, the soil swelled, and a small tender sprout grew out from the ground, swaying as it grew upward.

Lady Houtu murmured incantations, divine light fluctuating around her, like rays of colorful clouds, pulling the surrounding Power of the Great Dao between Heaven and Earth.

Under the nourishment of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, the Purple Heaven Vine's growth accelerated, extending its slender tendrils into the void, climbing upwards.

Unlike the Purple Heaven Vine planted by Chen Shi, this Purple Heaven Vine absorbed the free yin energy between Heaven and Earth and connected with the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, growing much faster than the one Chen Shi planted!

Chen Shi looked up and saw the Purple Heaven Vine extending upwards, its leaves growing larger, its branches becoming thicker, reaching a height far exceeding a hundred feet.

The root and stem of the Purple Heaven Vine were already four or five feet thick, still thickening, and the aura emanating from the vine grew stronger!

The Purple Heaven Vine grew thicker and forced Chen Shi to keep retreating.

In a short time, the Purple Heaven Vine reached a height of a thousand feet, still continuing to grow.

"The geography of the underworld is complex, with two layers of the underworld, and the Buddhist-made Buddhist Hell. There's the Divine Capital, Demon City, and the jurisdiction of the Underworld only covers two, or three-tenths of the entire underworld territory, beyond manageable."

Lady Houtu floated up and said, "Therefore, this palace intends to unify the Heaven and Earth Great Dao of the underworld with the Purple Heaven Vine, integrating and unifying it. I use the Purple Heaven Vine to merge with the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, making the Purple Heaven Vine the vessel of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao in the underworld. Thereafter, using the Reincarnation Path, to evolve the underworld's norms, determining the orthodoxy of the underworld."

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly; he followed her floating up, watching her how to draw the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

Suddenly, the world shook violently; Chen Shi looked into the distance and saw mountains appearing out of thin air, the world extending in all directions!

That was another layer of the underworld hidden beneath the original underworld, where the Ten Thousand Great Mountains lay. At this moment, under the influence of the Purple Heaven Vine, the two layers of the underworld began to merge.

At the same time, the Buddhist Hell in the underworld also emerged amidst the violent shaking of Heaven and Earth. The Immortal City, Divine Capital, Demon Domain, and other incredible places were also affected by the Purple Heaven Vine.

The surrounding landscapes rapidly receded, new landscapes continuously emerged, making the territory of the underworld increasingly vast, deeply astonishing.

The Purple Heaven Vine grew to the top of the heavens, without stopping, its branches began extending in all directions.

Lady Houtu used the Reincarnation Dao Pattern to perform Sacrificial Refinement on this Purple Heaven Vine, incorporating the entire underworld into Reincarnation.
