Chapter 82 The Witch Clan in Action

After being restored to its original state by Guixuan, the ginseng fruit tree fully regained its power.

Not only does it possess the power to prolong life and increase the lifespan of ordinary people, but the fruit it bears can also be directly refined into clones, each possessing all the strength of the original body.

That baby-like appearance became even more real.

If you don't look closely, you might really think it's a baby growing on a tree.

However, there are always gains and losses.

In battle, the ginseng fruit clone can only be used once; it is a one-time use item.

Houtu stared incredulously at the twelve ginseng fruits and the essence blood of the twelve ancestral witches before her.

Such power was a perfect fit for the twelve ancestral witches.

"The Dao Ancestor Guixuan is merciful!"

Houtu was grateful.

"If Ancestor Guixuan gives any orders, the Wu Clan will surely go through fire and water!"

There is no love without a reason, and there is no help without a reason.

Houtu understood this perfectly well.

The Dao Ancestor Guixuan paid such a high price to help the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and even the Witch Clan, escape their calamity.

The relationship between them was enough to cause the entire witch clan to completely turn against them.

Gui Xuan's voice was solemn: "I intend to establish the Earthly Dao, and appoint Zhen Yuanzi as the Earthly Dao Saint. From this day forward, your Wu Clan will be under the rule of the Earthly Dao!"

boom!

Houtu was shocked and looked at Guixuan in disbelief.

He never expected that Dao Ancestor Guixuan's ambitions were so grand, that he would actually plot to seize the throne.

Before she could speak, Gui Xuan's next words made Hou Tu feel even more horrified.

"And you, too, will become one of the Earthly Saints!"

These words shocked not only Houtu.

Zhen Yuanzi, standing behind him, was also dumbfounded.

To instantly elevate two primordial deities to sainthood—such a method… is truly… exhilarating!!

How could I not be happy?

What could be more exhilarating than achieving sainthood with a mere wave of the hand?

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Gui Xuan with a look of awe.

Gui Xuan ignored the shock in the hearts of the two.

This time, he's going to pull off something big!

In the primordial chaos of later generations, "when the opportunity arrived, Houtu was no longer a witch."

Houtu abandoned her ancestral witch form and reincarnated as the Goddess Pingxin.

All twelve ancestral witches died in disguise, and only one in ten of the witch clan survived.

Gui Xuan is preparing to change this.

His two attempts to glimpse fate allowed him to see a scene hidden behind myths and legends.

Gui Xuan sensed that there must be some unknown destiny hidden within this concealed scene.

If Hongjun truly existed before Heaven, wouldn't Hongjun have ascended to Heaven long ago?

Will they eventually fall to the point of merging with the primordial Heavenly Dao and becoming its puppet?

"I want to see what this old bastard is up to."

Gui Xuan must continue to observe fate!

Until we find out Hongjun's true purpose.

To glimpse destiny, one must alter the course of events in the primordial world and trigger the emergence of fate.

Only he can capture destiny.

As for directly altering the course of the primordial world, Guixuan had also considered it.

However, doing so would cause him to lose some of his foresight and might even provoke a backlash from that old fox Hongjun.

Under the grand trend of the primordial world, subtly altering some minor trends within the primordial world, and ultimately leveraging the grand trend of the primordial world, is what Gui Xuan needs to do.

The transformation of her body into a cycle of reincarnation, turning her into a true saint, is one of the changes that Gui Xuan aims to make!

If Houtu had hesitated even slightly, he wouldn't have made that choice.

Instead, it follows the original trajectory and makes changes to it.

But Houtu did not disappoint him.

Holding the compass in her hand, Houtu was filled with excitement. "If what Dao Ancestor Guixuan said is true, then the Wu Clan will do everything in its power to help Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi achieve sainthood!"

"From this day forward, the Witch Clan will be under the control of the Underground Sect!"

If what Gui Xuan said is true, and she is indeed one of the Earthly Saints, then the Witch Clan will be her subordinates, just under a different name.

Gui Xuan nodded and looked at Zhen Yuanzi. "You will take charge of the Book of Earth and work with the Wu Clan to sort out the primordial earth veins and purify the primordial land. When the Heavenly Dao bestows its merits, you can instantly become a saint."

As he spoke, a Law of Earth and a Law of Earth entered Houtu and Zhenyuanzi's bodies respectively.

The laws of the Earth originated from that old fellow Hongjun.

I had already reached the minor stage of enlightenment through the Guixuan Insight, and now it's just the right time to put it to use.

It will become the key for Houtu and Zhenyuanzi to break free of their shackles in the future.

Zhen Yuanzi respectfully replied, "Zhen Yuanzi will certainly do his utmost!"

This matter concerns his enlightenment, and there can be no mistakes.

Gui Xuan nodded. "Hong Yun will help you from behind the scenes. Remember not to be too hasty!"

As he spoke, the twelve drops of ancestral witch blood merged into the twelve ginseng fruits.

Gui Xuan continuously infused the twelve laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, poison, space, time, etc.

In an instant, Dao patterns rose throughout the entire Houtu Ancestral Witch Palace.

The boundless innate spiritual energy surged into the Houtu Palace, drawing away all the innate spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.

This horrifying scene instantly caught the attention of the witch clan.

Upon receiving the report, the other eleven ancestral shamans hurriedly went to the Houtu Temple.

Before he could speak, he was swept away by a powerful force, hundreds of millions of miles away, unable to move forward.

The ancestral witches Zhurong and Gonggong changed their expressions and were about to force their way in when Zhujiuyin had a sudden thought and quickly stopped them.

They quickly ordered all the great shamans to surround the territory spanning hundreds of millions of miles, with eleven ancestral shamans personally overseeing the outer perimeter of the Houtu Palace.

It wasn't until a full cycle later that the power of devouring within the Houtu Palace disappeared.

The eleven ancestral witches had been waiting anxiously for some time.

The Houtu Temple, which had been sealed for an entire eon, slowly opened its doors.

Three figures walked out from inside.

The eleven Ancestral Witches looked at the three figures walking out of the Houtu Palace, and their expressions changed.

"Greetings to the Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

The ancestral witches Dijiang and Zhujiuyin quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

The other ancestral witches felt a chill in their hearts and followed suit in paying their respects.

Gui Xuan looked at the eleven Ancestral Witches before him and said indifferently, "This matter will be decided jointly by you twelve Ancestral Witches. Zhen Yuanzi will inform me of the result."

As he spoke, he disappeared into the Houtu tribe amidst the bewildered gazes of a group of ancestral witches.

"Little sister, what happened?"

The Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang glanced at Zhen Yuanzi and asked in a deep voice.

Houtu thought for a moment and said, "Brothers and sisters, this matter is of great importance. Let's go to the Ancestral Witch Hall to discuss it."

The Ancestral Witch Temple was formed from the heart of Pangu and possesses the power to conceal the secrets of heaven.

Dijiang glanced at Zhenyuanzi, and Houtu nodded.

Then he took Zhen Yuanzi with him and entered the Ancestral Witch Hall.

Three cycles later.

The demons stared at them with bewildered expressions.

The Wu tribe abandoned its friction with the demon tribe and mobilized the entire tribe to purify the primordial earth veins and eliminate the evil energy of the primordial land.

This scene puzzled not only the demon race, but also countless other creatures in the primordial world.

It was as if overnight, all the witches had changed their nature and become no longer warlike.

Some demons, disbelieving in superstition, insisted on testing the witch clan.

Finally, under the gaze of the other deities of the primordial world, those demons were torn to shreds.

Even a dozen or so great shamans at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level went to the Heavenly Court with the corpses of demons to lodge a complaint.

The demon race was accused of provoking them, which ultimately left Emperor Jun of the demon race humiliated and unable to take action against the witch race due to his guilt.

With the Dharma teachings of Dao Ancestor Hongjun present, and the demon race in the wrong, this matter can only remain unresolved.

After several such incidents, the Demon Emperor issued a direct order forbidding the demon race from taking action against the witch race at will.

heaven.

Di Jun looked down at the Demon Saint, his voice grim, "Have you found out yet! What exactly are these witch clan members plotting?!"

Speaking of the word "scheming".

Di Jun felt a toothache.

When did the word "scheming" become applicable to the Wu tribe?

The Heavenly Killer Witch Clan didn't even inform me beforehand; they actually grew a brain on their own!

It's a real dog!!

The demon saint Bai Ze stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, after several tests, the Wu Clan is focusing all its efforts on purifying the primordial land and ignoring everything else."

"As for what they are plotting, I cannot see it..."

After saying this, Bai Ze sighed inwardly.

"I feel like my supernatural powers are pretty useless in front of this group of powerful beings."

He was born with the ability to speak, understand the feelings of all things, and detect mysterious things.

But facing these powerful beings from the primordial era, he began to increasingly doubt his own abilities.

Before Di Jun could speak, Xi Huang, who had withdrawn the golden light from his eyes, spoke up, saying, "What the Wu Clan is doing now is beneficial to the primordial land."

"There may be other ancient gods' schemes involved, but even my demon race cannot stop this situation."

Taiyi said coldly, "Are we just going to watch the Witch Clan slowly grow stronger?!"

"Everyone, don't forget that sorting out the primordial earth veins is a great act of merit."

"The Wu Clan did this simply to gain merit from the Heavenly Dao. If we just stand by and do nothing, we'll be watching the Wu Clan grow stronger!"

Taiyi's words silenced the powerful demons.

They were well aware of this, but it was a truce period, and what the other side was doing was entirely beneficial to the ancient land.

If the demon race intervenes, things will escalate, and it's uncertain whether even the primordial sages will step in.

The billions of living beings in the primordial world would not agree to this.

Fuxi thought for a moment and said, "The Wu Clan currently controls the land, so logically the entire primordial land should be under their control. Since they want to manage the primordial earth veins and purify the primordial land, then let them have their way."

"Let all the demons on the ground retreat, and we demons will tidy up the primordial starry sky!"

"Whether it's Heaven or Earth, both will receive Heavenly Merit; in this way, even if the Witch Clan receives Heavenly Merit, it won't have any impact on us."

After listening, Di Jun nodded. "The secrets of heaven are in chaos. I have tried to deduce something several times, but I have not been able to deduce anything."

"For now, this is the only way: reduce conflict with the witch clan and avoid triggering a major war."

"Let the demons of the earth retreat to the Heavenly Court and tidy up the primordial starry sky!"

After a pause, Di Jun continued, "The apprenticeship ceremony on Kunlun Mountain will be held soon."

"This is a good opportunity to investigate the secrets of the witch clan."

Without much delay, after Emperor Jun issued his order, all the demons withdrew to the Heavenly Court.

The vast, desolate land instantly became much more peaceful.

With the conflict between the lich and the demons over, some powerful beings from the primordial world who had been in seclusion began to wander the primordial lands, seeking immortality and enlightenment.

While the Lich and Demon races were making preparations in silence.

On the vast, untamed land, the Kunlun Mountains were bustling with activity.

The selection of disciples by the Three Sages of Kunlun Mountain has been completed, and the apprenticeship ceremony will be held soon.

Countless ancient deities eagerly awaited this glorious era.

They wanted to seize the opportunity to catch the eye of the sage, hoping to be lucky enough to be accepted as his disciple.

The East Sea, the Buddhist land of Yingzhou.

Hongyun slowly opened her eyes, a smile on her face.

"Little fatty, hurry up and get in the bowl..."
