Questioning the Thirteenth Brother? The Founder of Scientific Construction Methods Teaches the Ancestral Witch How to Be a Person!

With the Western duo dealt with, Buzhou Mountain finally had some peace.

Inside a temporary stone hall carved out by Xizi using the Law of Wind, Xuanzheng summoned several of his Elder Brothers responsible for the frontline construction.

"Come take a look, everyone. This is the engineering plan bestowed by Father God." Xuanzheng pushed several beast-skin blueprints onto the table.

Gonggong was the first to lean in. After just one glance, his massive head shook like a rattle. He slammed a palm onto the stone table, causing gravel to fall.

"Thirteenth Brother! Are you insulting my Great Dao of Water?"

He pointed at the red lines on the blueprint that looked like fighting earthworms. "I know the water veins in this mountain like the back of my hand! Why are you making it so twisted and winding? Why not just punch through directly and channel the Heavenly River's water? It would be powerful and sturdy!"

Zhurong was even more direct. He grabbed the metal plate covered in symbols, and two sparks shot out from his nostrils.

"Troublesome! My Zhurong's artifact refining is all about using True Fire to melt all things! The better the material, the fiercer the flame, and the stronger the treasure! This segmented smelting and controlling the heat is simply a woman's work!"

"Elder Brother, please calm down."

Xuanzheng wore a "naive" smile, unfazed.

"Father God's revelation is that what we are doing is not simply reinforcing, but reshaping the meridians of Buzhou Mountain. If we are even slightly off, it will create repulsion with the rhythm of Father God's Spine. At that time, not only will there be no merit, but there will be great demerit!"

"Father God again..." Gonggong and Zhurong exchanged glances. Although still full of suspicion, the fact that merit had descended from Pangu Hall was undeniable. They couldn't strongly object anymore and each took their blueprints and formulas, stomping out to make arrangements.

The project officially kicked off. Billions of Witch Clan members set up formations at the foot of the mountain. The scene was spectacular, yet as chaotic as a pot of porridge.

One group of witches struggled to carry giant stones, staggering around; another group surrounded the stones, banging and pounding, unable to shape them after a long time. Efficiency was low, and collisions were constant.

Seeing this, Xuanzheng walked out of the main tent and went to the most chaotic construction area. His voice boomed across the entire site: "All Witch Clan members, listen to my command! From now on, everyone will cooperate and divide the labor!"

"Excavation Team, just get the stones down from the mountain, the bigger the better!"

"Transportation Team, just transport the stones to the designated location!"

"Processing Team, stand here and use your fists to pound all the stones brought here into these square blocks!" Xuanzheng pointed at a sample stone.

"Construction Team, pick up these standard stone blocks and stack them according to the blueprints!"

As soon as the order was given, a commotion arose. "I can do all the work myself, why do we need to split up?" "Exactly! When we Witch Clan fight, we go all out ourselves, when do I punch and you hand me a knife?"

Xuanzheng remained silent. Dijiang's figure silently appeared. He merely swept a glance at the Great Witches who were complaining, and all the noise came to an abrupt halt.

The witches reluctantly took their positions.

At first, they were incredibly awkward. But after half a day, a miracle happened!

Those who excavated only excavated, those who transported only transported, those who pounded only pounded... The entire construction site transformed from a chaotic beehive into a terrifying war machine with a precise structure and efficient operation! "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The uniform sound of pounding stones was like ancient war drums, striking the heart of every Witch Clan member! The project, which could only advance a hundred zhang a day, was now progressing more than ten times faster!

In the distance, Gonggong, who was supervising the water vein construction, watched in stunned silence. He scratched his head, then looked at the "messy" blueprint in his hand. For the first time, his understanding of himself began to waver.

On the other side, Zhurong's furnace area was even more disastrous. He ignored the recipe and threw all the Divine Materials into the fire. "Boom!" With a loud explosion, the furnace blew up on the spot, spewing black smoke and scorching his iconic red hair, leaving his face covered in soot.

After blowing up the furnace for the tenth time and nearly setting his beard on fire, he finally calmed down and honestly followed Xuanzheng's recipe, smelting in batches and controlling the heat.

When the last batch of material was perfectly integrated, and a strange alloy, shimmering with a Mysterious Yellow Halo, stably floated above the furnace, Zhurong was completely stunned. The sturdiness of this alloy far surpassed any Divine Iron he had ever refined!

Xuanzheng stood on the mountaintop, overlooking the bustling scene. This was not just about fixing a Heavenly Dao BUG, but about reshaping the soul of the Witch Clan. From mere brutes who only knew how to solve problems with their fists, they were becoming a civilization that understood cooperation, division of labor, and creation.

[Buzhou Mountain Structural Stabilization Project, current repair progress: 3%...]

[Warning: Secondary BUG detected: Pangu_B073. Construction has triggered Chaos Fiendish Qi within the mountain, posing a risk of small-scale outbreak. Recommendation: Channel the power of the water veins and neutralize it in Area C3 using a spiral motion.]

Just then, a deafening roar echoed from the distance!

"RUMBLE--!"

The side wall of a mountain being excavated suddenly collapsed, and a stream of Chaos Fiendish Qi, as black as ink and carrying a corrosive aura, erupted. It instantly engulfed dozens of Witch Clan warriors!

Wherever the fiendish qi passed, even the hard rock made a "sizzling" sound!

"Not good!" Qiangliang, who was supervising nearby, roared. Myriad bolts of lightning struck down, but they could only disperse some of the fiendish qi, not eradicate it.

Just as everyone thought those dozens of Witch Clan members were doomed, a curtain of water descended from the sky, faster than Qiangliang's lightning!

It was Gonggong!

Without any hesitation, it was an instinctive action! The water curtain did not strike violently but transformed into a huge and complex spiral vortex, precisely enveloping, rotating, and grinding the erupting Chaos Fiendish Qi!

This exquisite control was precisely the countermeasure for the weak points marked on that "messy" blueprint he had previously dismissed!

He had cursed it verbally, but in his heart, out of stubbornness, he had already memorized every detail of the blueprint, trying to find flaws.

The fiendish qi was ground away layer by layer by the water flow, and those dozens of Witch Clan warriors were flung out. Although they were covered in dust and grime, they were unharmed.

The entire construction site fell silent for a moment.

All the Witch Clan members looked at Gonggong with awe, then at the "chief planner" on the mountaintop.

Gonggong himself stood frozen, staring blankly at his hands, feeling the Great Dao of Water operating in an unprecedentedly profound way.

A moment later, his massive body transformed into a stream of water light and instantly appeared before Xuanzheng. He "slammed" the beast-skin blueprint onto the rock at Xuanzheng's feet, his eyes wide, his voice trembling slightly.

"Thirteenth Brother... this blueprint, it... does it understand water better than I do?"
