Returning to Immortality Volcano, the Phoenix Clan had already sealed the mountain, and outsiders could not enter at all. However, Li Xinghe was an exception.

Seeing Yuan Feng still cultivating so diligently, Li Xinghe could not help but sigh. This calamity had dealt her too great a blow.

The Phoenix Clan had suffered devastating losses. If Li Xinghe had not supported her from behind the scenes, she would surely have perished just like the Ancestral Dragon and Beginning Qilin.

The Phoenix Clan's fate would likely not have been much better either. In the end, it was because they lacked strength.

"If you're pregnant, don't push yourself so hard." Li Xinghe woke her.

"Have some fruit and replenish your vitamins!"

"Vitamins? What are those?" Yuan Feng looked confused, but the Peach Tree fruit in her hand melted as soon as it entered her mouth. A powerful spiritual energy nourished both her body and the fetus in her womb.

"What kind of spiritual fruit is this? It actually increased my cultivation slightly." Yuan Feng was astonished.

She was already a Late Golden Immortal of the Origin. A single peach was equivalent to several thousand years of bitter cultivation.

"They're just a few peaches. If you like them, I'll plant you a Peach Tree." Li Xinghe peeled a peach.

"My lord, this is such a waste. A spiritual fruit like this can be eaten directly." Yuan Feng was speechless.

If anyone else saw Li Xinghe peeling Peach Tree fruit before eating it, they would probably be more than happy to serve as his trash bin.

"There are also Ginseng Fruits. Eat one to nourish yourself. They say one can grant immortality." Li Xinghe took out another Ginseng Fruit.

Yuan Feng looked blissful. It seemed that Li Xinghe still cared greatly about this child.

According to the original course of the Primordial Wilderness, before Yuan Feng fell, she transformed all her origin essence into an egg. It could be said that Kong Xuan later became so extraordinary only because he inherited Yuan Feng's origin essence.

Now that Yuan Feng had not died, giving birth normally would not exhaust her life. She could only slowly replenish herself so that she could give birth to a Kong Xuan with powerful origin essence.

"Since it's my child, it can't possibly be a peacock, right? Otherwise, it'd feel like I was being cuckolded." Li Xinghe worried inwardly.

Not long after, he planted a branch from the Peach Tree at Immortality Volcano and watered it with Three Lights Divine Water.

Very quickly, the branch took root and sprouted. As the Phoenix Clan's stronghold, Immortality Volcano was no worse than Kunlun.

"Add a Time Acceleration Array, and there should be peaches to eat in about a thousand years." Li Xinghe looked delighted.

A thousand years no longer meant much to him.

After arranging everything, he returned to Pangu Temple and gave the remaining Yellow Middle Plums to Dijiang.

He also left them some Ginseng Fruits and Peach Tree fruit. These things had some effect the first few times, but eating too much would build resistance.

However, the Witch Race now consisted of more than just the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Other members of the Witch Race had gradually begun to emerge as well.

After the Twelve Ancestral Witches had cultivated in Pangu Temple for who knew how many years, perhaps they had grown too lonely, or perhaps they felt the Witch Race was too small.

Of course, it might also have been the unseen influence of the Heavenly Dao. The Twelve Ancestral Witches used their own blood essence to jointly create an Ancestral Witch Pool.

Witch Race members continuously took form from it afterward. The Twelve Ancestral Witches were the first generation of the Witch Race, while those born later were the Second Generation Witch Race, also known as Great Witches.

After the Twelve Ancestral Witches, six Great Witches emerged: Jiu Feng, Chi You, Xing Tian, Kuafu, Hou Yi, and Xiang Liu.

Though the Six Great Witches were not as powerful as the Ancestral Witches, Li Xinghe had strengthened the Ancestral Witches' origin essence. As a result, the Six Great Witches' origin essence was not much weaker than that of the original Ancestral Witches of the Primordial Wilderness.

Afterward, each generation of the Witch Race was weaker than the last, but their numbers gradually increased.

"Big Brother, our godfather said that the Witch Race would contend for supremacy in the Primordial Wilderness in the future, but would ultimately end much like the Three Primal Races. We must prepare in advance." Xuan Ming looked grave.

As the eldest of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Dijiang was the Ancestral Witch of Space and excelled most in speed. Having received Li Xinghe's blessing and fused a branch from Ancestor Yang Mei, he had achieved considerable results.

"We shall not fail our godfather's expectations. The Primordial Wilderness is Father God's Primordial Wilderness and can belong only to the Witch Race." The Twelve Ancestral Witches all declared their stance.

Had Li Xinghe not given the order, they would likely have long since begun roaming the Primordial Wilderness.

Xuan Ming and Houtu alone showed that traveling through the Primordial Wilderness still had its benefits.

"Our godfather left us so many treasures. We must use them properly." Dijiang looked stern. As the eldest brother, whenever Li Xinghe was absent, the Twelve Ancestral Witches regarded him as their leader.

This time, Li Xinghe had also bestowed upon him a section of the Space Demon God's main body branch, leaving him thrilled.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches had no primordial spirits and could only cultivate their physical bodies or enhance their innate laws.

Dijiang's comprehension of the Law of Space was now not much inferior to Li Xinghe's. It could only be said that he was exceptionally gifted, born with an innate sensitivity to the Law of Space.

They could not become Heavenly Dao Sages, but they could follow the path of Law Sanctification.

Pangu had done the same back then, but Law Sanctification was as difficult as ascending to heaven. They could only rely on time to accumulate power.

Li Xinghe saw everything that happened within the Witch Race. Fortunately, they had not become arrogant and complacent.

Perhaps because of Xuan Ming and Houtu, the Twelve Ancestral Witches understood the vastness of heaven and earth. Many matters in the Primordial Wilderness could not be solved through brute force alone.

"With Time Acceleration, the Witch Race's progress will be dozens of times faster than before. Even a pig would be able to stand on its own by the time of the Witch-Demon Calamity." Li Xinghe nodded in satisfaction.

Afterward, he went to where Fuxi and Nuwa were cultivating in seclusion.

"Your disciple pays respects to Master."

"Nuwa greets Great God."

Having obtained the River Diagram and Luo Book, Fuxi's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. He had long since reached the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Nuwa often discussed the Dao with her brother, and her strength had also soared, reaching the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

In the current Primordial World, the Three Primal Races had faded from the stage. Aside from the reclusive Yuan Feng and the reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods, Peak Daluo Golden Immortals could be considered the ceiling for native beings of the Primordial Wilderness.

"Here are two Peach Tree fruits and Ginseng Fruits. Consuming them can increase your cultivation." Naturally, he would not forget his own disciple in such a good opportunity.

As for Nuwa? She was not his disciple, but she was a future Saint. By eating his Peach Tree fruit and Ginseng Fruits today, she would owe him Cause and Effect. Would she not then be tied to his chariot?

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Great God!"

Fuxi and Nuwa accepted the Peach Tree fruit and Ginseng Fruits, immediately sensing the powerful energy contained within them.

After settling these matters, Li Xinghe returned to Immortality Volcano.

After experiencing the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, he felt that his strength had improved again. He was not far from the Late Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.

Although Pangu Temple was a fine place for secluded cultivation, Yuan Feng was still pregnant at Immortality Volcano, so he needed to watch over her more closely.

He feared that although Yuan Feng had not fallen, the Heavenly Dao might still have its eye on her. If Luohu or Hongjun had some scheme, he would regret it too late.

Fortunately, divine beasts differed from humans. Pregnancy did not affect cultivation. The two discussed the Dao day and night, improving not only their own strength but also accumulating origin essence for the fetus in Yuan Feng's womb.

At Mount Sumeru in the west, Luohu had absorbed a vast amount of Killing Qi during the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation. The World-Ending Millstone had also absorbed enough Destruction Qi, becoming even more powerful.

"Middle Golden Immortal of the Origin is still far from enough. The World-Ending Millstone is still not enough either. I need a supreme killing treasure." Although Luohu had gained many benefits, he remained dissatisfied.

If Li Xinghe had not interfered, the Phoenix Clan would certainly have fallen as well. He could have absorbed even more Killing Qi and power of Destruction.

Suddenly, his heart stirred. The World-Ending Millstone still stored the Killing Qi and endless baleful qi left behind by the fallen Three Races.

Why not use them to refine another treasure? Even if it was not a supreme treasure, it would be the one most suited to him.
