On the outskirts of the Central Continent's core region, the Dao debate between Sanqing and the reincarnated Chaos Demon God experts was nearing its end. Under the relentless assault of Sanqing's avatars, the avatars of Ancestor Reincarnation, Old Ancestor Yang Mei, World Daoist, Qiankun Ancestor, Old Ancestor Creation, Yin-Yang Ancestor, Ancestor Soul, and Xuanhuang Old Ancestor shattered, crumbled, and dispersed layer by layer, like grain fed into multiple millstones. At last, they acknowledged Sanqing's attainments in the Dao of the five elements and withdrew from the contest for the right to claim disciples. Although Old Ancestor Wuxing's avatar had not been directly slain by Sanqing's avatars, he was already showing signs of defeat in the Dao debate. His five-colored pillar of light was stripped away, broken down, and dispersed layer by layer from its center by the Xuanhuang pillar. Under its relentless assault, his avatar's form crumbled and dispersed from the core outward, and that five-colored radiance gradually dimmed.
Yet Old Ancestor Wuxing's true self had not personally entered the contest for the right to claim disciples. Although his avatar had suffered defeat at Sanqing's hands, his true self had remained deep within Chaos, continuously refining Chaos Qi with the Five Elements Law to replenish the Great Desolation World. His attainments in the Innate Five Elements Great Dao and the individual Great Daos of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were the most profound in all the Primordial Wilderness. When it came to understanding the Dao of the five elements, even Sanqing had to acknowledge Old Ancestor Wuxing's unique insights. Precisely for this reason, the five Ancestral Witches of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth among the Twelve Ancestral Witches sought out his true self.
