NOVEL NEXT Chapter 351 Lady Ping Xin's Handling_2
```
Finally, I have returned; there truly is no slumber as comforting as here.
Lady Ping Xin regarded the enormous sea turtle entrusted to her by Emperor Jun, noting the increasingly profound merit emanating from its being.
Meanwhile, the incarnation of Lady Ping Xin, Mengpo, ascended to the Naihe Bridge, offering Mengpo Soup to each passing soul.
With the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate in her possession, Earthly Hell once more returned to tranquility.
Countless souls proceeded in an orderly fashion towards their respective destinations, in accordance with the rules of Earthly Hell.
Deep within the Eighteen Layers of Hell, Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva sensed Lady Ping Xin's return and opened his eyes, his gaze settling on Earthly Hell.
At the same time, relief flooded his heart.
He, too, harbored fears, dreading that the myriad souls within Earthly Hell might riot and recklessly surge into Hell.
Nevertheless, his capabilities were limited, and soon, he resumed chanting scriptures to enlighten and transform the surrounding Evil Ghosts.
This was no ordinary chanting; it was performed with mana, the only means of enlightening Evil Ghosts.
Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva had to meticulously manage the intensity and monitor his own expenditure of mana.
The task was a grueling one, yet Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva had chosen to enter Hell of his own accord.
"Not until Hell is empty shall I attain Buddhahood!" This was the vow once made by the Bodhisattva, which won the favor of the Netherworld Great World.
Even Lady Ping Xin had never opposed it; on the contrary, she had lent a helping hand.
With Lady Ping Xin at the helm, and the myriad life forms of the Witch Clan in support, Earthly Hell gradually restored its former order.
This was reflected in the Netherworld Great World, easing the burden Lady Ping Xin once felt.
Only when Earthly Hell was completely stable could Lady Ping Xin contemplate the gift bestowed by Pangu Father God.
It entailed the cultivation and direction related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but Lady Ping Xin, unpressured, set it aside for later consultation.
Foremost in her thoughts were the Twelve Ancestor Witches now in spiritual form.
With a thought from her divine sense, the souls of the twelve Ancestor Witches appeared upon the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.
Their condition was peaceful, all having sunk into deep slumber, showing no sign of awakening.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Plate nourished the twelve Ancestor Witches of the Witch Clan with pure soul energy.
Perhaps due to the grave injuries the twelve Ancestor Witches sustained, or perhaps because their soul level was too elevated, the pure energy proved insufficient.
In contrast to that merit-laden, ever-drowsy sea turtle, the soul level of the twelve Ancestor Witches was many times greater.
Lady Ping Xin gazed at the souls of the twelve Ancestor Witches before her, concern furrowing her brow.
The gift from Pangu Father God indeed matched Lady Ping Xin's heart, yet the deep slumber into which the twelve Ancestor Witches had fallen caused her unease.
Moreover, when Lady Ping Xin inspected the souls of the eleven Ancestor Witches, she noticed a phenomenon:
They all contained traces of Evil Qi.
Had the eleven Ancestor Witches still possessed their physical bodies, such trivial Evil Qi hidden within their souls would have been insignificant.
For they could easily have suppressed the Evil Qi in their souls by simply channeling their physical strength, bending it to their will.
Regrettably, the eleven Ancestor Witches have perished, leaving only fragmented souls, utterly incapable of sustaining the fight against the Evil Qi and awakening.
Lady Ping Xin comprehended the nature of this Evil Qi profoundly; after all, after becoming the embodiment of reincarnation herself, she too was in a spiritual state.
Initially, she underwent great suffering due to the Evil Qi within her soul.
Due to its presence, it continuously eroded her soul, sapping her strength and even giving her a sense of soul dispersion.
It was only when merit descended later, replacing the foundation of Houtu Ancestor Witch and purging her of Evil Qi under its cleansing influence that she even ascended to become a Saint.
She was, thus, the first in the Primordial era to transform from an Ancestor Witch of the Witch Clan into a Saint of the Immortal Dao.
Now, her eleven elder brothers likewise possess Evil Qi within them, even more formidable than what she once harbored, given their souls are now fragmented.
In their slumber, they are incapable of mustering their souls into an effective defense.

Lady Ping Xin was also unable to expel the Evil Qi within, after all, this Evil Qi was linked to the Origins of the other eleven Ancestor Witches.
To expel the Evil Qi would mean that the soul essence would also be purged along with it.
Once the soul essence vanishes, the souls of the eleven Ancestor Witches would completely succumb to death.
Under such circumstances, even Lady Ping Xin, being a Saint, could not extract the Evil Qi.
The intertwining of the Origin and the Evil Qi, bearing the distinctive traits of the Witch Clan, was something Lady Ping Xin understood very well.
And it was precisely because of this understanding that made it difficult to accomplish.
With a casual flick of her finger, Lady Ping Xin infused stratum after stratum of Six Paths Reincarnation Law into them, penetrating into the bodies of the eleven Ancestor Witches.
In an instant, the Evil Qi within the eleven Ancestor Witches was gradually sealed deep within their Origins by these strands of Six Paths Reincarnation Law.
The Evil Qi naturally sought to escape, but no matter what, it was futile and could only be honestly sealed deep within their Origins.
This did not mean that the Evil Qi was no longer harmful, but rather its damage to the soul was minimized.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Law would make the Evil Qi sluggish, and correspondingly, the soul would be affected and become sluggish as well.
Yet at this moment, all eleven Ancestor Witches, due to severe injuries, had fallen into a deep slumber, their souls fragmented.
Under these circumstances, sluggishness had no real detriment to the eleven Ancestor Witches.
At the same time, pure soul energy surged from the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, enveloping the slumbering remnants of the eleven Ancestor Witches.
There was no expectation for them to awaken, but only a hope that the remnants of the eleven Ancestor Witches would not dissipate any further.
Having dealt with everything, Lady Ping Xin turned her gaze towards another Ancestor Witch soul within the same Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.
Lady Ping Xin handled this mysterious Twelfth Ancestor Witch's soul with her own considerations.
Closeness and kinship—her ties with the other eleven Ancestor Witches were exceedingly profound.
Another reason was her intuition that this Twelfth Ancestor Witch seemed different from the other eleven.
When Lady Ping Xin's Divine Sense touched the soul of the Twelfth Ancestor Witch, she was shocked.
One reason was because of the strength of the soul manifested by Emperor Jun, whose soul seemed only marginally less than that of a Saint.
It could be said that such a soul was just half a step away from ascending to the Saintly tier.
No wonder he was the orchestrator of the Array.
But even just this half step was like a chasm, a metamorphosis of the soul's tier, how could it be so easily crossed?
Moreover, Lady Ping Xin was also profoundly shocked by another revelation and even doubted whether the soul before her belonged to the Witch Clan.
Because the soul of this Twelfth Ancestor Witch was far too pure, devoid of a trace of Evil Qi.
On the contrary, based on Lady Ping Xin's foundation in the Immortal Dao, the soul of this Ancestor Witch before her eyes did not resemble that of a being from the Witch Clan.
Her soul was not only devoid of Evil Qi, but was filled with an aura of lightness and purity.
Indeed, this did not seem like a soul of a being from the Witch Clan.
But then again, Lady Ping Xin could indeed sense the aura unique to the soul of an Ancestor Witch.
That type of aura, steeped into the soul by bloodlines, is not easily dispelled, unless washed away by boundless merit like that of Lady Ping Xin.
Lady Ping Xin felt the familiar bloodline aura emanating from this mysterious Ancestor Witch's soul.
Therefore, she was absolutely certain that this Ancestor Witch soul indeed belonged to the Witch Clan, for the signature of her own droplet of Essence Blood could not be mistaken.
And it was precisely for this reason that Lady Ping Xin found it all the more peculiar.
Just how was this Twelfth Ancestor Witch of the Witch Clan cultivated, for his strength to be so formidable and his soul to be so exceptionally pure?
Furthermore, Lady Ping Xin noted that the soul of this Ancestor Witch was not fractured, merely showing signs of weakness.
Blessed with abundant soul energy from the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, he should be able to awaken swiftly.
Heavenly Lingxiao Palace.
Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor who was delving into the profundities of life, suddenly opened his eyes.
