Pangu's Blood Essence / Refining Pangu's Blood Essence into Oneself

"Gong Gong, you're asking for a beating!"

Pangu's Essence Blood

"Gong Gong, you're asking for a beating!"

Zhu Rong's furious roar echoed through the Witch Clan's great hall.

Yet Gong Gong was utterly fearless. He said, "Then let's fight! If you've got the guts, don't wreck this place. Follow me to Buzhou Mountain and let's have a proper match!"

"Let's go! Whoever gets there slower is a coward!"

Gong Gong and Zhu Rong shot straight into the sky, two streaks of blue and red light flying toward Buzhou Mountain.

The other Ancestral Witches helplessly shook their heads. Clearly, they were long accustomed to Zhu Rong and Gong Gong's fights.

Houtu looked worriedly at Dijiang, the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and asked, "Big Brother, are we really just going to let them keep fighting like this?"

Dijiang replied, "It's fine. Buzhou Mountain is vast, and heaven and earth there are sturdy enough to withstand their antics. It's better for them to fight on Buzhou Mountain than to fight at Zixiao Palace."

Just as the streaks of light formed by Gong Gong and Zhu Rong rushed toward Buzhou Mountain, three other streaks of light brushed past them and headed into the depths of the mountain.

Gong Gong and Zhu Rong naturally recognized the identities of those three streaks. They were the Three Pure Ones.

However, the two were boiling with rage and preparing to fight, so they had no intention of sending word back to the Witch Clan.

The Three Pure Ones naturally recognized Zhu Rong and Gong Gong as well, but they assumed the two Ancestral Witches had come to Buzhou Mountain in search of an Opportunity. They accelerated, overtook them, and arrived first in the depths of Buzhou Mountain.

"That phenomenon may very well have been caused by the lost Opportunity the three of us sensed between ourselves."

Taishang Laojun said.

"That makes sense. Let's search carefully this time. Perhaps we can recover that lost Opportunity."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.

Sect Master Tongtian greatly agreed with his two elder brothers. The three began carefully searching and investigating Buzhou Mountain.

However, the layers of formations Fuxi and Nuwa had arranged were flawless. They completely sealed the aura of the Chaos Gourd Vine within the formations, leaving the Three Pure Ones with no chance of discovering the Gourd Vine.

The Three Pure Ones persistently searched for over a hundred years. During that time, they also witnessed Zhu Rong and Gong Gong battling each other in an exciting, fierce fight, but they simply could not find where that Opportunity lay.

"Could it be that this treasure truly has no fate with us?"

Yuanshi Tianzun asked in confusion.

Taishang Laojun shook his head. "It's also possible that someone concealed this Opportunity or took it away, which is why we can't find it."

"Sigh, we've been away too long and wasted much time that could have been spent cultivating. We can't keep searching. If we continue, I fear we won't be able to break through to the Grand Unity Peak."

Sect Master Tongtian said.

"Understood. Let's go."

Though the Three Pure Ones were unwilling to accept it, they still left Buzhou Mountain.

Compared to that elusive Opportunity, they needed to improve their cultivation more, ensuring they could gain enough from Hongjun's explanation of the Quasi-Saint path at Zixiao Palace.

Another hundred years passed. At this point, fewer than three hundred years remained until Hongjun's second lecture.

Over these hundred years, the Hong Huang World had not undergone any major changes.

Those Grand Unity Golden Immortals who had gained greatly from Hongjun's lecture had mostly completed their breakthroughs. Now, everyone had returned to comprehending the Dao and improving their cultivation on their own.

Faced with such slow progress, the Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Hong Huang World missed Hongjun immensely. They only hoped the remaining four hundred years would pass quickly so Hongjun could emerge and lecture on the Dao again.

Having someone guide them in comprehending the Great Dao and cultivating felt far too good. It was hundreds of times more enjoyable than cultivating through their own enlightenment.

The number of powerful experts in the Hong Huang World had not increased much, but the conflict between the Witch Clan and the demon race had indeed intensified, triggering many small-scale wars.

Within a valley on Buzhou Mountain, beneath the Gourd Vine.

Fuxi had originally been comprehending the Dao beneath the Gourd Vine when he suddenly heard some noise above his head.

He opened his eyes and looked up, only to see the seven Gourds on the Gourd Vine beginning to sway without any wind. They collided with one another, producing intense clattering sounds.

The once-ordinary Gourd Vine began emitting strange ripples. It was the unique Dao rhythm of a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth.

"It's finally ripe!"

Fuxi and Nuwa both rose to their feet and watched the changes taking place in the Gourd Vine.

The siblings had waited beneath this Gourd Vine for a full seven hundred years. Seeing the Gourds about to mature, they were thrilled and excited.

What grew on this Gourd Vine were not ordinary Gourds, but Innate Spiritual Treasures—and top-grade Innate ones at that!

However, as the Gourd Vine matured, all seven Gourds began emitting dazzling divine light toward the Hong Huang World, announcing their birth.

Even the formations Fuxi and Nuwa had set up could not block that divine light.

This meant that the entire Hong Huang World would witness the maturation of the Chaos Gourd Vine, and some Grand Unity Golden Immortals would naturally come to Buzhou Mountain to contend for this Opportunity.

"What treasure is emitting such dazzling divine light?"

"That divine light seems to be coming from Buzhou Mountain. I remember that the phantom phenomenon last time also appeared there. Could the two be related?"

"Perhaps the treasure was born last time, and this time it is maturing and entering the world."

"That makes sense. This phenomenon is so obvious. We must not miss this Opportunity."

"Yes, this treasure must be exceptional. Even if we can't seize it, just seeing it would be enough to satisfy our eyes."

Thus, groups of Grand Unity Golden Immortals and even Golden Immortals rushed toward Buzhou Mountain, all to catch a glimpse of the supreme treasure.

[Ding, detected that the Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Hong Huang World are about to come seize the treasure. Please make your own judgment and choice from the following options.]

[Option One: Hand over the Chaos Gourd Vine without resistance and lose the Opportunity. Option reward: All previous rewards will be deducted, and the Host will receive the title of Hong Huang World's Greatest Coward.]

[Option Two: Generously give up part of the Opportunity and share the pie. Option reward: One previously obtained reward will be randomly deducted, along with one low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure.]

[Option Three: This mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me. Monopolize the Gourd Vine and drive away those seeking the treasure. Option reward: One drop of Pangu's Essence Blood, the Opportunity of the Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea, and a Quasi-Saint-level Divine Ability (Heavenly Emperor Fist).]

Just as Fuxi was considering how to protect the Gourd Vine, the system finally arrived like timely aid in a snowstorm.

The moment he saw the system's three options, his emotions surged.

Of course, to be precise, Fuxi had only seen the third option. He directly ignored the first two.

The words "Pangu's Essence Blood" made Fuxi so excited that he nearly jumped beside the Gourd Vine.

Though Fuxi had fantasized about this heaven-defying reward more than once, he truly had not expected the system to be so generous as to actually offer Pangu's Essence Blood as a reward.

Ever since Fuxi gained Pangu's Primordial Spirit by refusing to acknowledge Hongjun as his master, his primordial spirit had become incomparably powerful. Now, his only shortcoming was that his physical body was not strong enough.

Once he obtained Pangu's Essence Blood, Fuxi's physical body would also be immensely strengthened. Though it would still be slightly weaker than the Twelve Ancestral Witches, it would far surpass that of ordinary demons.

This meant Fuxi's close-combat ability and ability to preserve his life would greatly increase.

Pangu's Essence Blood Refined into the Body

The fact that Option Three offered Pangu's Essence Blood as a reward truly exceeded Fuxi's expectations.

Moreover, there were actually three rewards this time. It seemed the mission tied to this option would not be simple.

This Pangu's Essence Blood was the essence blood of Great God Pangu. Given Pangu's physical strength when he split open heaven and earth, even a single drop of essence blood would be enough to strengthen Fuxi's body to a level second only to the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Naturally, Fuxi wanted to attain the same physical strength as the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but one drop of essence blood could not accomplish that. For now, he could only dream about it.

In truth, although it was only a single drop of Pangu's Essence Blood, if it were placed in the Hong Huang World, it would absolutely trigger a great battle among Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Even Hongjun might enter the fray to seize it.

Pangu's Essence Blood was simply more effective at strengthening the physical body than any heavenly treasure.

Though Fuxi could only obtain a single drop of Pangu's Essence Blood, he had already begun imagining how terrifying his physical body would become after obtaining over a dozen drops.

If he could obtain more than a dozen drops of Pangu's Essence Blood, his physical strength should be able to rival or even surpass the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

After all, although Pangu was the god who opened heaven and earth, no living being could possess an unlimited amount of essence blood. The origin of each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches was probably only around ten drops of essence blood.

If he could obtain a hundred drops of Pangu's Essence Blood, then perhaps he could wrestle with a Saint like Hongjun.

Of course, such a fantasy was truly little more than wishful thinking. After all, most of Pangu's Essence Blood had already become part of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Still, if the system were powerful enough, perhaps this fantasy could become reality?

Naturally, that would depend on what rewards the system could grant him in the future.

For now, Fuxi shifted his attention back to the other two rewards.

Aside from Pangu's Essence Blood, the remaining two rewards were also top-tier.

The Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea, for example, had originally been Eastern Prince Gong's future Opportunity in the Hong Huang World's story. Those three immortal islands were all top-grade blessed lands in the Hong Huang World, containing countless Opportunities.

Many of Eastern Prince Gong's Innate treasures had been discovered on the Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea. After Hongjun conferred upon Eastern Prince Gong the title of Head of Male Immortals and he established the Immortal Court of the Hong Huang World, he made the Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea the Immortal Court's headquarters.

Now that the system had rewarded him with the location of the Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea in advance, it was clearly telling him to seize Eastern Prince Gong's Opportunity.

However, Fuxi would not feel even the slightest sympathy for Eastern Prince Gong. Obtaining Opportunities in the Hong Huang World depended on one's own strength and fortune.

Eastern Prince Gong's fortune might have been quite good in the original history, but in this life, Fuxi's fortune had long surpassed Eastern Prince Gong's with the system's support.

Fuxi naturally accepted the Opportunity of the Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea with pleasure.

After examining the rewards of Pangu's Essence Blood and the Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea, Fuxi focused his attention on the system's final reward.

What was a Quasi-Saint-level Divine Ability?

Though Fuxi had never heard of such a rank before, the power of this familiar-sounding Divine Ability was surely formidable.

Since the system called it Quasi-Saint-level, once he mastered it, perhaps its offensive power could rival that of a Quasi-Saint.

Quasi-Saints were far more powerful than Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

As for the name Heavenly Emperor Fist, Fuxi found it somewhat familiar. It seemed he had seen it in other novels before, and its power was indeed incomparably domineering.

As for whether its actual might could compare to a Quasi-Saint's, he could only wait until after cultivating it and using it himself to find out.

In short, the system apparently believed this option was more difficult than the previous ones, which was why it offered him so many rewards.

Yet the system's rewards were truly too enticing, and Fuxi had already intended to protect the Chaos Gourd Vine. The system's option rewards could be said to provide Fuxi with assistance.
