Taiqing once again shifted the blame for the Heavenly Dao onto Pangu.
Pangu wanted nothing more than to jump up and slap Taiqing twice. So he was going to keep fleecing Pangu like a sheep?
What filial sons they were—filial enough to make Pangu die laughing.
"So, the ones we must face are Old Thief Hongjun.
"And the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao and Hongjun are working together to scheme against us siblings.
"If we siblings do not unite, our future fate will likely be unimaginably miserable."
After Taiqing finished speaking, the atmosphere in Pangu Hall instantly grew solemn.
The Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches all fell silent. Pangu Hall became so quiet that a falling needle could have been heard.
They were not terribly afraid of facing Hongjun. After all, they had some idea of his strength: a mighty Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
But the Heavenly Dao was enough to make one despair.
No expert knew just how powerful the Heavenly Dao truly was.
It had emerged during the latter stages of the Fierce Beast Calamity and had controlled the entire Primordial Wilderness ever since.
Within the Primordial Wilderness, aside from wondrous places such as the Three Immortal Islands and Pangu Hall,
there was nowhere the Heavenly Dao could not reach.
They did not even know how strong the Heavenly Dao was. How were they supposed to fight this?
It was no wonder they had fallen silent.
"Heavenly Dao!"
After a long silence, the Ancestral Witches finally spoke through gritted teeth, their eyes filled with fury and unwillingness as they looked toward the void beyond Pangu Hall.
"My fellow siblings, there is no need to worry so much or place such immense pressure on yourselves.
"According to Father God's instructions, the Heavenly Dao cannot act personally.
"Furthermore, after the opening of heaven, Father God severely injured the Heavenly Dao.
"And when the Heavenly Dao previously plotted against us Sanqing, it was punished by Great Dao Thunder.
"It has now fallen into slumber once more.
"And as long as we Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches remain united,
"and jointly comprehend Father God's inheritance,
"the Heavenly Dao will sooner or later be surpassed by us siblings."
Seeing the atmosphere plummet to freezing point, Taiqing knew the timing was about right.
If he continued, it might have the opposite effect.
It was enough for the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Yuqing, and Shangqing to know they had such a terrifying enemy.
External pressure was more conducive to unity among the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Moreover, he had gained the initiative over the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches.
So he spoke to ease the pressure.
"Brother Taiqing is right. So what if it is the Heavenly Dao?
"As long as we siblings stand united, even the Heavenly Dao can do nothing to us.
"Father God was able to shatter the Heavenly Dao back then. As Father God's descendants, we should not fear it either.
"We must strive forward and endeavor to shatter the Heavenly Dao, so as not to bring shame upon Father God."
Dijiang spoke, an intense fighting spirit erupting from his body.
Inspired by Dijiang, the other Ancestral Witches were no longer dejected either, and their fighting spirit surged forth as well.
"Brother Taiqing, Big Brother, just tell us what to do. From now on, we will listen to you."
The Ancestral Witches all voiced their positions, willing to follow Taiqing's arrangements.
"Big Brother, we will listen to you as well."
Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao voiced their agreement too.
The Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches had, for the time being, been twisted into a single rope.
"For now, our task remains diligent cultivation. Ancestral Witch siblings, quickly absorb and refine Father God Marrow.
"Reform your Primordial Spirits, refine the restrictions of the White Lotus Platform,
"comprehend the laws, and focus on advancing to Hunyuan Golden Immortals.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, you must also quickly comprehend the laws suited to yourselves, embark upon the Law Path to Sainthood, and attain Hunyuan Golden Immortality."
Taiqing did not hesitate to take charge and began arranging the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches' next steps.
"Big Brother, we will naturally do our utmost to refine Father God Marrow and cultivate, advancing into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible."
The Ancestral Witches all nodded in agreement.
At once, the Ancestral Witches returned to the places where they had previously cultivated in seclusion and began diligently refining Pangu Marrow.
Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao likewise found places within Pangu Hall and entered seclusion to comprehend the laws, striving to break through to Hunyuan Golden Immortality.
All the siblings were brimming with enthusiasm, as though competing to see who would break through first.
Taiqing, however, did not enter seclusion. Instead, he wandered around Pangu Hall.
When he reached the center of Pangu Hall, Taiqing saw an enormous Blood Pool.
This Blood Pool had been formed from Pangu Father God's blood.
Though it was not Essence Blood, it was still filled with the mysteries of Pangu Father God.
Above the enormous Blood Pool floated a massive drop of Essence Blood, radiating dense Law of Earth.
That massive drop of Essence Blood was Sister Houtu, who had yet to be born.
"Could this be the Blood Pool the Ancestral Witches would later rely upon to create the Witch Race?"
As he looked at the enormous Blood Pool, a speculation arose in Taiqing's heart.
This Blood Pool was indeed what the Ancestral Witches would rely on to create the Witch Race.
"Brother Taiqing, why are you not cultivating in seclusion? Could it be that you have already advanced into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm?"
Seeing Taiqing studying the Blood Pool, Sister Houtu asked softly.
Taiqing had not previously revealed his realm, which was why Houtu had guessed as much.
But Houtu was indeed clever. Merely from Taiqing's current behavior, she had guessed his realm.
"Sister Houtu is exceptionally clever. You guessed your brother's realm right away.
"Your brother had already broken through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm on Penglai Immortal Island.
"The Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus and the Nine-petal White Lotus were brought out from Penglai Immortal Island.
"Now, I am preparing to break through to the Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
"However, breaking through to the mid-stage realm will not be easy."
There was nothing to hide, so Taiqing directly explained his realm.
He had merely forgotten to mention it earlier.
After all, there had been quite a lot of information to explain to the Ancestral Witches. Forgetting to tell them his realm was only natural.
"Brother Taiqing is amazing. Houtu has not even been born yet, and Brother Taiqing has already broken through to Hunyuan Golden Immortality."
Sister Houtu's tone was filled with admiration.
"If your brother breaks through earlier, I can protect you younger brothers and sisters sooner.
"I do not want to be powerless when my younger brothers and sisters are bullied."
Taiqing won another wave of goodwill.
At that moment, Taiqing thought of something and asked Sister Houtu.
"Sister Houtu, do you possess Father God's inheritance of the Law of Reincarnation?"
The Law of Reincarnation was crucial to Houtu, and it also concerned the fate of the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches.
If Houtu could comprehend the Law of Reincarnation, creating Reincarnation would certainly become much easier.
At that time, Houtu would not need to transform herself into Reincarnation to create Reincarnation.
Moreover, if Houtu comprehended the Law of Reincarnation in advance, she could avoid falling into the Heavenly Dao's scheme.
This naturally concerned a major matter for the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Taiqing looked expectantly at the massive drop of Essence Blood that represented Sister Houtu.
Sister Houtu did not speak again, as though searching through her inheritance to see whether it contained the Law of Reincarnation.
After a while, Houtu's voice sounded once more.
"Brother Taiqing, Houtu does not possess Father God's inheritance of the Law of Reincarnation.
"Is the Law of Reincarnation important? If it is, Houtu can try to comprehend it."
Houtu's answer was within Taiqing's expectations.
After all, in his previous life, he had never heard that Houtu had mastered the Law of Reincarnation.
If the Ancestral Witches possessed inheritances of Pangu's corresponding laws, they would certainly be able to master them.
Even when Houtu transformed herself into Reincarnation, she had not displayed control over the Law of Reincarnation. That showed she truly did not possess an inheritance of the Law of Reincarnation.
