A Small Test of Skill! Repairing Pangu Hall, Merit and Auspicious Clouds Shock the Ancestral Witches' Eyeballs!

Xuanzheng's thoughts raced, suppressing his elation as he forced himself to appear "just awakened, weak and confused."

He scratched his head, his tone carrying the straightforwardness of a newborn calf and the timidity of someone recovering from a serious illness.

"Everyone... Elder Brothers? I think... I had a very long dream."

"In the dream... Father God spoke to me... said that here," he pointed to his chest, a look of confused pain on his face, "there's a small problem, a congenital deficiency, and I need to fix it myself..."

"Father God also said that if I fix it, it will be greatly beneficial to me and... to all of us in the Witch Clan..."

The Twelve Ancestral Witches exchanged glances.

Father God's summons? Repairing himself?

To Ancestral Witches like them, whose minds were filled with little more than muscles, combat, and Father God, this statement... made perfect sense!

It was perfectly normal for Xuanzheng to manifest from Father God's heart's phantom and receive Father God's guidance!

Dijiang said gravely, "So that's how it is! Father God truly hasn't forgotten us!"

His gaze towards Xuanzheng softened considerably.

"Thirteenth Brother, since you have received Father God's guidance, rest assured and repair yourself here. We will guard you outside the hall!"

"Thank you, Elder Brother!" Xuanzheng immediately showed gratitude. "I will always remember the concern of my Elder Brothers! When I fix my 'small problem,' I will definitely fight alongside my brothers for the glory of the Witch Clan!"

Zhurong rumbled, "Good lad! Ambitious! When you're better, I'll take you to go beat up those feathered beasts!"

Houtu also said gently, "Thirteenth Brother, rest easy, your brothers and sisters are here."

Zhujiuyin's deep eyes lingered on Xuanzheng for a moment before nodding slightly.

After the footsteps of the Twelve Ancestral Witches faded, the "innocence," "confusion," "timidity," and "gratitude" on Xuanzheng's face vanished instantly!

In their place were depths and shrewdness inconsistent with his "honest" appearance, a playful curve gracing his lips.

He spread his hands, the scales on his left hand spinning, while the phantom of an ancient mirror floated in his right.

"The Primordial World Bug Fixing Manual, the Immeasurable Karma Scale, the Myriad Heavens Script Mirror..."

Xuanzheng muttered to himself, excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Great God Pangu, top-tier treasures at the start, a beginner's welfare... treated like his own son!"

His eyes burned, and he straightened his back, his ethereal aura solidifying somewhat under the lingering radiance of Pangu's will.

"Congenital origin deficiency? Perfect! A BUG personally designated by Father God, might as well fix it!"

"Let's start with this BUG, Pangu_001, and claim my super beginner's gift package!"

He licked his lips, a flicker of eagerness in his eyes.

"Stabilizing my foundation and increasing my strength is just the first step!"

"The Witch Clan's destined calamity? Hongjun's script? The Demon Clan and Heavenly Court's arrogance?"

A cold arc formed on Xuanzheng's lips.

"From today onwards, you native inhabitants of the Primordial World will get a good look at the professionalism of a 'BUG fixing master and professional contractor from the 21st century'!"

He took a deep breath and, with a thought, communicated with the resplendent Primordial World Bug Fixing Manual in his sea of consciousness.

"Begin fixing the [Pangu Hall Core Energy Loss] bug!"

"Command received! Repair plan confirmed!"

"Space Law profound principles being mobilized... Please concentrate, host, and perceive the abnormal fluctuations of the spatial nodes within Pangu Hall..."

"Destruction Law true meaning being guided... Please be ready, host, to annihilate the accumulated chaotic turbid energy at any moment..."

"Final stage: Please force out three drops of your 본명 Pangu Essence Blood to reshape the formation core!"

Xuanzheng grinned, his smile incredibly bright, filled with slyness and madness.

"This grand game of the Primordial World, starting from my move as Xuanzheng, will be played in a world-shaking new way!"

"Let's get started!"

Xuanzheng sat cross-legged and, following the Manual's guidance, mobilized his raw yet pure Ancestral Witch origin.

He had a natural affinity for Pangu Hall, and this connection was now amplified a thousandfold by the Manual!

"Buzz--!"

Xuanzheng's consciousness merged with Pangu Hall, and countless subtle spatial fluctuations became clearly visible.

Soon, he "saw" thirty-six spatial nodes from which chaotic ancestral qi was leaking!

These nodes were extremely hidden; without the Manual's guidance, even Dijiang would not have detected them!

"Found them!" Xuanzheng snorted coldly and mobilized the true meaning of Destruction Law.

Under the Manual's precise guidance, this power acted like the sharpest surgical knife, targeting the chaotic turbid energy accumulated at the nodes for eons!

"Annihilate... me!"

Xuanzheng let out a low cry, and the true meaning of Destruction instantly annihilated and purified the chaotic turbid energy!

This process, though seemingly simple, consumed a great deal of mental energy and origin.

If not for Xuanzheng's firm will and the constant stream of "operational techniques" from the Manual, he would have long since collapsed.

The thought of the incredibly generous rewards filled Xuanzheng with vigor, and he effortlessly repaired thirty-six nodes in one go!

As the last trace of chaotic miasma was completely cleared from the final node, the entire atmosphere within Pangu Hall purified!

The previously scattered Primordial Ancestral Qi seemed to find its way home, slowly converging towards the center of Pangu Hall.

"The final step! Use my life essence as a guide to reshape the formation core!"

Determination flashed in Xuanzheng's eyes. With a thought, he forced out three drops of his purple-gold, glazed life essence!

As the three drops of essence appeared, Pangu Hall trembled slightly, as if in celebration!

"Go!"

Xuanzheng flicked his finger, and the three drops of life essence transformed into three streaks of light, shooting towards the core positions of Pangu Hall: the center, the top, and the bottom.

Under the subtle guidance of the Manual's power, the essence blood merged with the structure of Pangu Hall, combining with the pure World-Opening Qi to form profound runes. These runes interconnected and arranged themselves, creating an energy circulation array that covered the entire Pangu Hall!

"Rumble--!"

Pangu Hall shook violently!

A surge of pure Primordial Ancestral Qi, thousands of times denser than before, erupted from the ground like a volcano. A portion of it transformed into a torrent of energy, pouring back into Xuanzheng's body!

Simultaneously, an exciting notification sound from the Manual echoed in Xuanzheng's mind!

[Ding! Bug Pangu_001 has been successfully repaired!]

[Congratulations Host! You have perfectly completed the beginner's guide quest!]

[Distributing rewards...]

"Buzz--!"

Xuanzheng felt a warm, comfortable, and powerful energy surge through his limbs.

His previously weak and unstable foundation, upon the formation of the "Innate Ancestral Witch Dao Embryo," greedily absorbed the surging Primordial Ancestral Qi like parched earth receiving rain!

His physical strength increased incredibly!

His aura, which had barely reached the threshold of an Ancestral Witch, climbed steadily, stabilizing at the early stage of Ancestral Witch, and continued to strengthen, faintly approaching the middle stage!

What surprised him even more was a purple-gold auspicious cloud, about an acre in size, emitting a sacred aura of invulnerability to all laws, slowly condensing behind his head!

The Purple-Gold Auspicious Cloud formed from World-Opening Merit!

"Awesome! This feels so damn awesome!"
