Many Were Born

Time held no meaning in the Primordial Wilderness, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye while Qing Xuan cultivated in Closed-door Cultivation within Penglai Immortal Palace.

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, spiritual energy was rich and multicolored mist drifted through the air. Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Hahahaha! I am of Pangu's orthodox lineage. Today, I take form, and my name is Grand Pure Laozi!"

An elderly man with an immortal bearing appeared atop Kunlun Mountain. He wore a loose, ancient Daoist robe and held a dust whisk. His profound gaze carried the wisdom of one who had seen through worldly affairs. Laozi laughed.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, what are you waiting for? Take form quickly and share in my joy."

"I am of Pangu's orthodox lineage. Today, I take form, and my name is Yuqing Yuanshi!"

"I am of Pangu's orthodox lineage. Today, I take form, and my name is Shangqing Tongtian!"

Two figures appeared beside Laozi. On the left stood Yuanshi, who resembled a middle-aged man. His face was dignified and solemn, a lotus crown sat upon his head, and he wore a magnificent Daoist robe while holding a jade ruyi.

On the right was Tongtian, a youth in a blue robe that fluttered in the wind. With sword-like brows, starry eyes, and Qingping Sword in hand, his sharp gaze and bearing carried a touch of unrestrained boldness.

"Hahahaha! Congratulations, Second Brother and Third Brother, on successfully taking form. The Great Dao now lies ahead of us. Why not go out and travel for a while?"

"Big Brother, Third Brother." Yuanshi nodded to Laozi and Tongtian. "Big Brother, we have only just taken form. We should first stabilize our cultivation."

"Hahahahaha! Big Brother, Second Brother, as long as the three of us brothers are together, where in this world can we not go?" Tongtian said boldly, patting his chest.

"Third Brother has a point. The three of us are all Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Traveling together, what danger could we possibly fear?" Laozi quite agreed with Tongtian.

"Since that is the case, let us go. We can also see the world Father God created." Though Yuanshi still had some doubts, seeing that the other two had agreed, he could only go along with them.

The Three Pure Ones set out together and left Kunlun Mountain.

At the peak of Buzhou Mountain.

"Brother, Brother~ Can we go out and play?" A beautiful woman with a human head and snake body looked at the man with the same form, her bright eyes wide with expectation.

"Stop making trouble, Sister Nuwa. We have only just taken form, and our cultivation is merely that of Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Have you forgotten about the person who came here seeking treasure ten thousand years ago?"

"That person did not sound like a good man at all, always talking about killing this and killing that. We do not even know how strong he is now. If we run into him, and we cannot defeat him or outrun him, what will we do?"

"So, we should cultivate properly at home. Once our cultivation is a little higher, I will accompany you outside to play."

As he cultivated, Fu Xi tried to persuade Nuwa. The person who had come back then had frightened him badly. Now, he was a cautious Fu Xi—if his cultivation was insufficient, he would never leave home.

"Mmm~ All right. Nuwa will listen to Brother in everything." Nuwa pouted. Although she still wanted to go outside and play, she had to listen to her brother.

As the brother and sister chatted, some neighbors were born at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Inside Pangu Hall stood a great pool at the center, filled with Pangu's Essence Blood. At this moment, the Blood Pool churned violently.

Suddenly, a figure was born from the Blood Pool.

"I am Dijiang!"

With six legs and four wings, a body like a yellow sack, red as cinnabar fire, and a chaotic form without facial features, Dijiang, the Space Ancestral Witch, was born.

Dijiang looked toward the Blood Pool. "Come out, my younger brothers and sisters!"

Then, they were born one after another.

With a human head and dragon body, entirely crimson red, was Zhujiuyin, the Time Ancestral Witch.

With a human face and beast body, ears like those of a dog, was Shebishi, the Weather Ancestral Witch.

With eight heads bearing human faces, a tiger body, and ten tails, was Tianwu, the Wind Ancestral Witch.

With a human face and bird body, green snakes hanging from his ears, was Xizi, the Lightning Ancestral Witch.

With a tiger head and human body, four hoofed feet, and long elbows, was Qiangliang, the Thunder Ancestral Witch.

Green as emerald bamboo, with a bird body and human face, was Jumang, the Wood Ancestral Witch.

With a beast head and human body, clad in red scales, was Zhurong, the Fire Ancestral Witch.

With a human face and tiger body, clad in golden scales, was Rushou, the Metal Ancestral Witch.

With a python head and human body, clad in black scales, was Gonggong, the Water Ancestral Witch.

With bone spikes covering his body and two wings on his back, was Xuanming, the Rain Ancestral Witch.

And lastly came Houtu, the Earth Ancestral Witch, with a human body, snake tail, and seven hands upon her back.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches gathered together.

"Hahahaha! Brothers and sisters, we were formed from Father God's Essence Blood. We are Father God Pangu's orthodox lineage!" Dijiang happily said to the other eleven Ancestral Witches.

"That's right! That's right!"

"Th-That's right!"

Zhujiuyin, Zhurong, and the other Ancestral Witches all voiced their agreement. Only Houtu, who had been born last, was still somewhat bewildered. But seeing her brothers and sisters responding, she joined in shouting as well.

"This world was created by Father God. We should be its rulers!"

"That's right! That's right!"

"Th-That's right!" Houtu shook her head, still a little confused.

"Good. Next, we shall go out and take a look. Anyone who refuses to submit will be killed!"

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"K-Kill them!"

"Kill them???"

Houtu suddenly cried out in surprise. Something felt wrong, yet she could not say what it was.

Thus, the discussion on the future path of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, organized by Dijiang, came to a successful conclusion.

At this moment, upon the Sun Star.

Two Three-legged Golden Crows, their bodies covered in golden feathers and surrounded by Solar True Fire, took form one after another.

"I am Di Jun!"

Golden light radiated from Di Jun's body. He held the Hetu Luoshu in his arms, his expression solemn and dignified, his eyes full of wisdom.

"I am Tai Yi!"

The other was handsome in appearance and held the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell. His expression was arrogant, and his bearing was overwhelmingly domineering.

"Big Brother!" Tai Yi called out to Di Jun. Since he had taken form a little later, he could only be the younger brother.

"Hahahahaha! Little Brother, we have only just taken form and already obtained supreme treasures. This is truly the favor of the Heavenly Dao. You and I should be the rulers of this world!"

Filled with lofty ambition, Di Jun laughed as he declared his aspiration to unify the Primordial Wilderness.

Tai Yi, seeing this, refused to be outdone.

"Indeed, Big Brother. You and I should be the rulers of this world. Whoever refuses to submit, I will kill!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!" The two then threw back their heads and laughed.

Did these two fail to bring their brains when they took form? What a waste of this Sun essence, to hatch such things.

On the far side of the Sun Star, a man formed from the Essence of Departing Fire heard Di Jun and Tai Yi's words and secretly scorned them.

"Big Brother Jie Yin, what are we supposed to do!!!"

A Daoist formed from the Bodhi Tree looked at the barren lands of the west and spoke sorrowfully to Jie Yin beside him.

"Alas, Zhunti, this is fate!"

Daoist Jie Yin had a yellow complexion and delicate features, but as he looked upon the western continent of the Primordial Wilderness, he truly could not bring himself to feel happy. He could only force a bitter smile.

"The two of us should set out at once for the eastern lands, seeking those with affinity and treasures with affinity. In the future, when the opportunity arises, we shall return and restore our home."

"All right, Big Brother."

Jie Yin and Zhunti had nothing much to pack. Their sole Companion Spiritual Treasure was the High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, formed from a branch of the Bodhi Tree. It was truly a miserable sight!
