Battle Ancestral Witch
Taichu walked into Nuwa's sacred field as naturally as if he were returning home, without any sense of unfamiliarity, leaving Fuxi speechless.
Well, they really think this place is their home.
I'll let it go this time, considering you gave my sister fortuitous opportunity.
Nuwa took great care of the spiritual field, which was lush and full of vitality. She even set up an array to gather Innate Spiritual Qi.
While the concentration of Spiritual Qi couldn't compare to the innate grand array that nurtured the Creation Green Lotus on Penglai Immortal Island, where the Spiritual Qi directly liquefied into spiritual liquid, it still possessed a hazy, misty quality, giving it a somewhat ethereal Piaomiao feel.
In the field, there was a patch of land where three natural Sunflowers swayed in the wind, and next to them was a Peashooter.
When it saw a creature that looked exactly like its master approaching, its beady eyes widened in surprise, and a look of confusion clearly appeared on its face.
They look alike, but their auras and everything else is different.
No, that's the enemy, pfft pfft pfft...
Taichu stepped forward and blocked its mouth, the peas that hadn't yet been ejected swaying inside its large mouth.
"You brain-dead idiot!"
After shaking out the little brain matter left in the brain, Taichu charged Xiang Dong. Xiang Dong had already been transferred, but his current state was low battery, and he automatically entered shutdown mode.
With a wave of his hand, Taichu darkened the surroundings, gathering the light originating from the Sun Star and focusing it into a dazzling display.
As the fast charging was completed, the smiling face in the center of the flower plate slowly opened its eyes.
Hey, you didn't leave?
Taichu stood solemnly by the edge of the field, his hands at his sides.
"Because I have some questions I want to ask, but before that, answer me first: are you sober?"
Xiang Dong understood why Taichu was questioning him, but he didn't care at all. He put two large green leaves on his waist and laughed heartily.
"I'm perfectly clear-headed. Didn't you also want to see my planned blueprint come to fruition? That's why I chose to cut off that corner."
"Yes, it's cut off."
Taichu opened his palm, and there lay quietly a small piece of the Five-Colored Stone containing the essence of the Chaos Demon Ape.
He admitted that he really wanted to see it, but the idea was too crazy, and there was another crucial point.
"You are attempting to use the Essence Blood of the Father God to nurture the fragments of the Chaos Demon Gods into the Witch Clan. This is a grave disrespect to the Father God, and I do not believe the Twelve Ancestral Witches would agree to it."
Xiang Dong tilted his head and looked at Taichu, as if it were the first time he had met Taichu. Tai Chu had just accused him of being disrespectful, and Xiang Dong didn't know how to respond.
"I didn't expect you to have such a high level of recognition and belonging to the Father God and the Witch Clan?"
"No matter what, I am the thirteenth Ancestral Witches. Although I have disagreements with them on the ranking, they are still my brothers and sisters, and I still have to take their feelings into consideration."
"Alright!"
Taichu's words made a lot of sense, and Xiang Dong couldn't refute them, but on this matter, he still stuck to his own ideas.
"I don't object to your reverence for Father God, but in my view, making the best use of resources is the only true principle."
"The Twelve Ancestral Witches have now been born; their next task is to evolve the Witch Clan."
"This is a foregone conclusion, and you cannot stop it. The tribes of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the millions of sons and daughters of the Witch Clan, will be scattered across the Primordial Land."
Taichu's eyelids drooped slightly. He knew very well that the birth of the Witch Clan was actually to completely eliminate the innate Innate Sha Qi that permeated all parts of the Primordial World.
Only the Witch Clan can do this, but the Witch Clan's Sha Qi tempering is not enough; they also need Spiritual Qi to harmonize it.
Without Primordial Spirit, they cannot absorb Spiritual Qi through cultivation, so they embark on the path of devouring, treating all living beings as their food.
This is an inherently irreconcilable conflict, not to mention that it will ignite hatred, ultimately escalating into a deadly war, a lich war, and Witch-Demon Kalpa —which is inevitable.
"Now that the blood pool has been purified, the Witch Clan that evolved from it should possess Primordial Spirits and have complete Cultivation Method passed down, so they should no longer need blood offerings."
"That's hard to say. Can you guarantee it?"
Taichu dared not, after all, this matter had not yet truly taken place, and he was unsure whether the evolved Witch Clan would possess Primordial Spirit.
However, what Xiang Dong was worried about was very likely to happen; it was an inevitable trend.
"So, you want to use this Chaos Demon Ape's essence to break this trend?"
"A monkey isn't a monkey if it doesn't cause trouble; besides, this is just an experiment. How can we adjust our direction if we don't try and fail?"
"Your idea is good, but the remaining Essence Blood in the Pangu Hall are insufficient to give birth to an Ancestral Witches."
The first generation of the Witch Clan, which evolved from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, was born by combining their own Essence Blood with the Pangu Essence Blood in the blood pool of the Pangu Hall.
However, the purity of those Pangu Essence Blood was relatively low, and their quality could not compare with that of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, nor did they contain a complete Principle.
Because their bloodline is closest to the source, the first batch of the Witch Clan were born as Great Witches. Although they did not master the complete Principle, they inherited a trace of the Principle from the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the bloodline of these Great Witches can be purified, it is still possible for them to evolve into Ancestral Witches.
Purifying one's bloodline requires a massive amount of Spiritual Qi, which brings us back to the issue of blood and sustenance, circling back to the starting point.
As Pangu Essence Blood is consumed, the Witch Clan will gradually weaken until it becomes an ordinary Witch Clan.
However, these ordinary Witch Clan can combine with Human Race to give birth to Witch-Human Race who possess Primordial Spirit and can absorb Spiritual Qi for cultivation.
According to unofficial historical records, Chi You was a member of the Witch-Human Race and became the thirteenth Ancestral Witches.
Xiang Dong's ambitions were far greater; what he wanted was not just to evolve into a Great Witch, but Ancestral Witches.
He'd even come up with a name for it: Battle Ancestral Witches. Wasn't that better than the Victorious Fighting Buddha?
Born with the Battle Principle and possessing the physique of Ancestral Witches, just thinking about it makes my heart race.
"Father God is still holding back a bit, otherwise how did you become the thirteenth Ancestral Witches? If all else fails, you can use the Creation Green Lotus's Creation Qi to aid in its development."
"Even if we can't directly cultivate an Ancestral Witches, as long as the Principle exist and we have the Power of Principle, reaching the Ancestral Witches realm shouldn't be a big problem."
The Pangu Essence Blood, the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape, and the power of creation.
Each one of these three is an invaluable treasure, but the combination of them is something that even Taichu couldn't imagine.
His silence was, in effect, tacit approval. He was currently contemplating whether to confront the Twelve Ancestral Witches directly or to keep it a secret and proceed with the matter in secret until the child was born.
