Taiqing once again shifted the blame for the Heavenly Dao onto Pangu.
Pangu wished he could leap up and slap Taiqing twice across the face—was he just going to keep milking Pangu's legacy like this?
Truly filial of him, Pangu thought, a real laugh riot of filial piety.
"So, what we have to face is none other than that old thief Hongjun.
And the Heavenly Dao, which has joined forces with Hongjun to scheme against us siblings.
If we siblings don't unite, I fear our future fate will be utterly miserable."
After Taiqing finished, the atmosphere in Pangu Hall instantly grew heavy.
The Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches all fell silent; Pangu Hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Facing Hongjun, they weren't that afraid—after all, they had a sense of his strength, a Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal great power.
But the Heavenly Dao—that was almost despair-inducing.
No powerful being truly knew how strong the Heavenly Dao was.
Since emerging in the late Fierce Beast Calamity, it had controlled the entire Primordial Wilderness up to now.
In the Primordial Wilderness, aside from miraculous places like the Three Immortal Islands and Pangu Hall, there was nowhere the Heavenly Dao couldn't reach.
They didn't even know how strong the Heavenly Dao was—how were they supposed to fight that?
No wonder they fell silent.
"The Heavenly Dao!"
After a long silence, the Ancestral Witches finally spoke through gritted teeth, their eyes burning with intense anger and resentment as they stared at the void beyond Pangu Hall.
"Brothers and sisters, there's no need to worry so much or put such immense pressure on yourselves.
According to Father God's guidance, the Heavenly Dao cannot act directly.
Moreover, after the world was split open, the Heavenly Dao was severely wounded by Father God.
And when it schemed against us Sanqing before, it was punished by the Great Dao Thunder.
Now it has fallen back into slumber.
As long as we Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, brothers and sisters, unite as one, and jointly comprehend Father God's legacy, the Heavenly Dao will eventually be surpassed by us siblings."
Seeing the atmosphere drop to freezing point, Taiqing knew the timing was right.
If he kept talking, it might backfire.
It was enough for the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Yuqing, and Shangqing to know they had such a terrifying enemy.
External pressure would help unite the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches internally.
And he had already seized the initiative among them.
So he spoke to ease the tension.
"Brother Taiqing speaks sense. Even if it's the Heavenly Dao, so what?
As long as we siblings stand together, even the Heavenly Dao can do nothing to us.
Father God once shattered the Heavenly Dao; as his descendants, we should not fear it either.
We must strive forward, aim to break the Heavenly Dao, and not bring shame to Father God."
Dijiang spoke, erupting with fierce battle intent.
Infected by Dijiang, the other Ancestral Witches also shed their gloom and burst forth with strong fighting spirit.
"Brother Taiqing, big brother, tell us what to do—from now on, we'll follow your lead."
The Ancestral Witches one after another expressed their willingness to obey Taiqing's arrangements.
"Big brother, we'll follow you too."
Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao also voiced their agreement.
The Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches had, for now, begun to unite as one.
"For now, our task is still to cultivate diligently. Ancestral Witch siblings, quickly absorb and refine the Father God Marrow, recondense your Primordial Spirits, and refine the White Lotus Platform's restrictions.
Focus on comprehending the Laws and advancing to Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Second and third brothers, you also need to quickly comprehend the Laws suited to you, walk the Law Path to Sainthood, and achieve Hunyuan Golden Immortal."
Taiqing took the lead without hesitation and began arranging the next steps for the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
"Big brother, we will do our utmost to refine the Father God Marrow and cultivate, advancing to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible."
The Ancestral Witches all nodded in agreement.
Immediately, the Ancestral Witches returned to their previous meditation spots and began diligently refining the Pangu Marrow.
Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao likewise found places within Pangu Hall to seclude themselves, comprehending the Laws and striving to break through to Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
All the siblings were brimming with motivation, as if competing to see who would break through first.
Taiqing, however, did not seclude himself. Instead, he wandered idly through Pangu Hall.
Strolling to the center of Pangu Hall, Taiqing spotted a massive blood pool.
This blood pool was formed from the blood of Pangu Father God.
Though not his essence blood, it was still filled with the divine mysteries of Pangu Father God.
Above that enormous blood pool floated a giant drop of essence blood, shimmering with a profound Law of Earth.
This drop of essence blood was none other than the yet-unborn Houtu sister.
"Could this be the blood pool from which the Ancestral Witches will evolve the Witch Race?"
Gazing at the vast blood pool, a guess formed in Taiqing's mind.
This blood pool was indeed the foundation for the Ancestral Witches to create the Witch Race.
"Brother Taiqing, why aren't you in seclusion? Could it be that you've already reached the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm?"
Seeing Taiqing observing before the blood pool, Houtu sister spoke softly, asking.
Taiqing had not previously clarified his cultivation level, so Houtu could only speculate.
But Houtu was indeed clever—she guessed Taiqing's realm simply from his current behavior.
"Houtu sister is exceptionally sharp, hitting upon your brother's realm in one guess.
Your brother had already broken through to Hunyuan Golden Immortal back on Penglai Immortal Island.
That Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus and Nine-petal White Lotus were brought from Penglai Immortal Island.
Now I am preparing to break through to Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
However, reaching the mid-stage is no easy task."
With nothing to hide, Taiqing directly stated his cultivation level.
He had simply forgotten to mention it before.
After all, there was much information to convey to the Ancestral Witches, so forgetting to disclose his realm was understandable.
"Brother Taiqing is so amazing. Before Houtu is even born, you've already broken through to Hunyuan Golden Immortal."
Houtu sister's tone was filled with admiration.
"Your brother breaks through early so he can protect you younger siblings sooner.
I don't want to be powerless when my younger brothers and sisters are bullied."
Taiqing earned another wave of goodwill.
At this moment, a thought occurred to Taiqing, and he asked Houtu sister.
"Houtu sister, do you possess the inheritance of Father God's Law of Reincarnation?"
The Law of Reincarnation was crucial to Houtu, and it also concerned the fate of the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
If Houtu could comprehend the Law of Reincarnation, establishing the cycle of reincarnation would be far easier.
At that time, Houtu would not need to sacrifice her body to transform into reincarnation; she could simply create it.
Moreover, if Houtu grasped the Law of Reincarnation in advance, she could avoid falling into the Heavenly Dao's schemes.
This was naturally a matter of great importance to the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Taiqing looked expectantly at the giant drop of essence blood representing Houtu sister.
Houtu sister fell silent, as if searching her inheritance for the Law of Reincarnation.
After a while, Houtu's voice sounded again.
"Brother Taiqing, Houtu did not inherit Father God's Law of Reincarnation.
Is the Law of Reincarnation very 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 of Houtu mastering the Law of Reincarnation.
If an Ancestral Witch possessed the corresponding Law inheritance from Pangu, they would surely master it.
Yet until Houtu transformed her body into reincarnation, she never displayed control over the Law of Reincarnation.
That meant she truly had no inheritance of the Law of Reincarnation.
