Zhu Rong's Temper Problem Resolved

"Since this Nine-Rank White Lotus Platform flew of its own accord into the Primordial Spirits of you Ancestral Witch siblings, it proves that this Nine-Rank White Lotus Platform is fated to be with you siblings.

You siblings should naturally accept this lotus platform.

Moreover, this platform can completely resolve the problem of your Primordial Spirits being eroded by Innate Fiendish Energy.

As your elder brother, I naturally have to consider what is best for you.

Just accept this lotus platform with peace of mind. So long as it benefits you siblings, I will naturally support it."

That was indeed what Taiqing thought in his heart.

After all, the stronger the Twelve Ancestral Witches became, the stronger they would be when the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches joined forces.

Their ability to resist Heavenly Dao Hongjun would also grow greater.

"Everyone, I believe this was also Father God's arrangement.

When I went to Penglai Immortal Island back then, it was under the guidance of Father God's will.

And on Penglai Immortal Island, I happened to obtain the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus, along with the lotus platforms it produced.

Now, the lotus platforms have again merged of their own accord into your Primordial Spirits.

Doesn't this prove that it was Father God's arrangement and guidance? Just accept the lotus platforms with peace of mind and use them to stabilize your Primordial Spirits."

This explanation greatly convinced the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"Many thanks, Brother Taiqing!"

"Brother Taiqing is truly generous."

"Brother Taiqing is righteous!"

After Taiqing's remarks, Sister Houtu, who had yet to be born among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, was the first to speak her thanks.

Houtu directly addressed Taiqing as Big Brother.

Seeing this, the other Ancestral Witches followed suit, praising Taiqing and calling him Big Brother as well.

They had already acknowledged Taiqing as their Big Brother.

Though the Ancestral Witches were all rough men with none of the finer sensitivities, they were not grass or trees—who could be without feeling?

Taiqing was not only a descendant of Pangu Father God, but had also treated their Ancestral Witches warmly. The moment he arrived, he brought them Father God Marrow.

And right away, he gifted them a Lingbao capable of solving their Ancestral Witches' Primordial Spirit problem.

If they still refused to call him Big Brother, that would be far too heartless and presumptuous.

Thus, the Ancestral Witches all called Taiqing Big Brother—except for Dijiang, the eldest of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

As the eldest among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, he still held to certain principles. It was not that he was heartless; he simply had to contend for it a little.

As for whether he, Dijiang, or Taiqing was the eldest, Dijiang felt it was still too early to decide.

At the very least, they would need to have a contest before making the final decision.

Seeing that the other eleven Ancestral Witches besides Dijiang had all called him Big Brother, Taiqing was delighted. His leading position among the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witch siblings was as good as secure.

As for Dijiang's persistence, he understood it as well.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches had really acknowledged him, Taiqing, as their Big Brother so easily, he would have found it a little hard to believe.

Would they still be the Twelve Ancestral Witches who battled heaven and fought earth?

"Big Brother, I feel like I can now somewhat control my Fire Law."

Zhu Rong, Fire Ancestral Witch, looked at Dijiang and spoke in delight.

He had only just obtained Pangu Father God Marrow, and the Nine-Rank White Lotus Platform had only just merged into his newly born, frail Primordial Spirit.

Even so, he could already somewhat control the Fire Law, preventing it from reacting with the fiendish energy within him.

If he refined more Pangu Father God Marrow and gained greater control over the restrictions of the Nine-Rank White Lotus Platform, he would likely be able to completely resolve the root cause of his fiery temper.

"Oh? Could it be that, Zhu Rong, my Witch brother, there is some other mystery to your control over the laws?"

Taiqing was puzzled. Wasn't Zhu Rong born with control over the Fire Law?

Why was he now saying that he could only somewhat control it?

Taiqing carefully examined him and confirmed that the Fire Law Zhu Rong controlled was indeed at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Then how could he speak of only somewhat controlling the Fire Law?

"Brother Taiqing, what you do not know is that although I control the Fire Law, the Fire Law is fused into my Ancestral Witch body.

Now, however, it is my newly born and frail Primordial Spirit that controls the Fire Law."

The Ancestral Witches were indeed like this. Without Primordial Spirits controlling the laws, the laws were fused into their Ancestral Witch bodies.

The Ancestral Witches all wielded the power of laws through their pure physical bodies.

That was how Zhu Rong's problem had arisen.

"Indeed. I never imagined that the Ancestral Witch siblings could wield the power of laws through pure Physical Body Strength alone.

How truly wondrous."

Only then did Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao take notice of the way the Ancestral Witches wielded laws.

Both brothers were astonished. They had never imagined that one could command the power of laws through Physical Body Strength alone.

Worthy indeed of being Ancestral Witches formed from Father God's Essence Blood. Creation was truly profound and wondrous.

"May I ask, Witch Brother Zhu Rong, what is the difference between wielding the Fire Law through the physical body and wielding the Fire Law through the Primordial Spirit?"

Taiqing voiced the doubt in his heart.

As for the difference, Taiqing did know a little. The gap in the difficulty of comprehending laws between having a Primordial Spirit and lacking one was truly as vast as heaven and earth.

A Primordial Spirit was naturally suited to comprehending laws.

If laws were compared to bacteria, then comprehending laws with a Primordial Spirit was like observing bacteria through a microscope.

Without a Primordial Spirit, comprehending laws was like observing bacteria with the naked eye.

Which was superior and which inferior was obvious at a glance.

"Brother Taiqing, you do not know this: the Fire Law I wield reacts with the Innate Fiendish Energy within my physical body.

This reaction severely affects my emotions.

My temper becomes explosively fiery beyond my control.

Earlier, when Brother Taiqing and the others shouted outside Pangu Hall, I nearly lost control and rushed out of Pangu Hall to fight Brother Taiqing and the others.

It is also because I cannot control my emotions that Gonggong and I have such incompatible tempers.

The laws we cultivate already clash with one another, and with my emotions out of control, it only makes Brother Gonggong and me even more at odds.

Now that I have a Primordial Spirit to control the Fire Law, it will no longer react with the Innate Fiendish Energy inside my body.

My emotions can also be kept under control.

Once my Primordial Spirit grows strong enough and I completely master the Fire Law, I will no longer be like before, unable to control my emotions.

Then I will no longer harm the bond between Gonggong and me."

After Zhu Rong explained his circumstances, Taiqing was somewhat shocked upon hearing such a secret.

He had never imagined that the reason for Zhu Rong's fiery temper was the Fire Law and Innate Fiendish Energy.

The reason Zhu Rong and Gonggong were so incompatible was also this.

In his previous life, he only knew that Zhu Rong and Gonggong did not get along. He had never considered the true reason why.

He had merely assumed it was caused by the clash between the laws of water and fire.

Now, the truth had finally been completely revealed.

"Then Gonggong's furious strike against Buzhou Mountain was most likely due to these reasons as well.

There was likely a scheme by the Heavenly Dao and the Saints behind it!

The Heavenly Dao used fiendish energy to influence Gonggong, causing him to lose control without realizing it and crash into Buzhou Mountain himself.

That way, the ones who would bear the immense causal karmic burden of Buzhou Mountain's collapse would be the Witch Race.

Not the Heavenly Dao!"

Taiqing thought of something even deeper—the final Wu-Yao War.

At that time, the outcome between the Witches and Yaos had clearly already been decided. Both sides had suffered devastating losses.

Then Gonggong went and knocked down Buzhou Mountain. Was that not heaping a colossal burden of causality and karma onto the Witch Race?

Yet Gonggong had seemed to lose his mind, smashing into Buzhou Mountain without the slightest hesitation.

If there had been no scheme by the Heavenly Dao and the Saints of that time, Taiqing simply would not believe it.

"By that reasoning, the Ancestral Witches gaining Primordial Spirits is simply a wonderful thing that kills many birds with one stone.

Perhaps it may even prevent Gonggong or another Ancestral Witch from snapping Buzhou Mountain!"
