Wu Tian immediately laughed.
There was naturally no issue with Pangu Hall!
As a supreme treasure transformed from Great God Pangu's heart, and one that would later become Empress Pingxin's Six Paths Reincarnation Hall, the might of Pangu Hall was beyond doubt.
But...
Wu Tian had something else in mind!
Thus, Wu Tian said with a smile:
"Could we perhaps add another existence to the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation to bear the backlash—Mount Buzhou, for instance?"
In the original course of events, Gong Gong, enraged, crashed into Mount Buzhou, causing it to snap in two. He himself perished, and the Witch Clan was burdened with immense karmic sin.
Naturally, Wu Tian did not want this to happen!
He was also of the Witch Clan, and an Ancestral Witch at that...
If Mount Buzhou fell, then even if he escaped the Witch-Demon Tribulation and fled into the Underworld, he would still have to bear the greatest share of that Karma.
How could he possibly accept that?
Minor currents could be changed, but the great tide could not!
Wu Tian was not certain whether the collapse of Mount Buzhou was part of the grand tide of the Heavenly Dao. Naturally, he had to make preparations in advance to avoid the boundless Karma that might descend upon him.
If Mount Buzhou's collapse was inevitable, Wu Tian absolutely could not allow it to fall at the hands of the Witch Clan...
"What if someone else bore this Karma?"
"If the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation were bound to Mount Buzhou, just like the Earth Book Formation of Zhen Yuanzi, Ancestor of Earth Immortals—breaking this formation would shake Mount Buzhou itself. Would anyone still dare attack the Ancestral Witches so recklessly?"
Wu Tian muttered to himself inwardly.
He immediately told the Ancestral Witches what he had in mind!
"This..."
Dijiang and the others were instantly rendered speechless.
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
"Mount Buzhou was transformed from Father God Pangu's spine. How can we use it as a shield? How would we face Father God then?"
After hearing him out, Dijiang was somewhat tempted.
Yet he also felt it was not quite suitable!
Wu Tian's idea left the Ancestral Witches conflicted. Each wore an odd expression—on one hand, they felt it truly was a good solution; on the other, they wondered whether it would be desecrating Father God Pangu.
Seeing this, Wu Tian let out a helpless sigh!
Oh, come on. Pangu Hall was transformed from Pangu's heart, yet none of you had anything to say about that...
At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin spoke:
"Wu Tian, Mount Buzhou is the pillar of the Primordial World. The matter is simply of enormous consequence. Should anything go wrong, the world Father God opened would surely be thrown into turmoil... We cannot afford to be careless!"
In the hearts of the Ancestral Witches, this world had been opened by Father God Pangu. As Pangu's blood descendants, they had a responsibility to safeguard it. That was why Zhu Jiuyin spoke as he did!
"Besides..."
"Mount Buzhou stands here and cannot be moved. It would not be very convenient for the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation either!"
Wu Tian nodded slightly after hearing this.
That was true as well!
They could not drag Mount Buzhou around everywhere, could they?
Nor could the Ancestral Witches drag it away!
And in the countless battles to come, they could not possibly bring every opponent near Mount Buzhou and wait until the Ancestral Witches were ready before fighting...
With a turn of thought, Wu Tian quickly came up with a compromise.
He immediately said with a smile:
"Elder Brother is absolutely right!"
"However..."
"I do not mean for you elder brothers to fix the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation permanently to Mount Buzhou. In ordinary times, Pangu Hall can still suppress the formation; only in moments of crisis would we link it to Mount Buzhou!"
Wu Tian raised his head, his gaze bright.
He looked at the Ancestral Witches one by one and said calmly:
"If one day..."
"If the Witch Clan is facing the crisis of annihilation, then even if Mount Buzhou collapses, so what? Without the Witch Clan, would the Primordial Wilderness still be the Primordial Wilderness we need to protect?"
Zhu Jiuyin fell silent at once.
Wu Tian's words had stunned him!
That's right...
If this world could no longer tolerate the Witch Clan, where were they supposed to go?
At that moment, Zhurong suddenly spoke:
"How is that possible?"
"We are Pangu's blood descendants. This world Father God opened up should naturally be governed by us—how could it possibly fail to accommodate us?"
The other Ancestral Witches were all taken aback.
Then they immediately began clamoring!
Soon after, they wore expressions of deep agreement.
Seeing the Ancestral Witches' proud bearing, Wu Tian could not help but smile bitterly, muttering inwardly:
I knew it...
The Ancestral Witches were proud to the extreme.
How could they possibly accept Wu Tian's way of putting it?
Fortunately, not all the Ancestral Witches were unwilling to use their brains. Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and the more thoughtful Ancestral Witches did not follow Zhurong and the others in agreement. Instead, they furrowed their brows and pondered in silence.
Clearly, Wu Tian's words had stirred them!
Dijiang did not think such a day would ever come...
But what if it did?
Wu Tian had been right about every matter before this. If that day truly came, how were the Ancestral Witches supposed to conduct themselves then?
At last, Dijiang slowly raised his head.
His eyes bright, he looked toward Wu Tian:
"Good!"
"We'll follow your suggestion. Next, we'll consider how to link the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation with Mount Buzhou... We ordinarily won't use it, but treat it as another trump card for our Witch Clan!"
Wu Tian was immediately overjoyed.
He did not know what Dijiang was thinking.
But as long as Dijiang accepted his proposal, he was already delighted. His goal could be considered achieved. He hurriedly nodded and cupped his hands toward Dijiang.
"Many thanks for your trust, Brother!"
Wu Tian had never thought of directly remolding the Ancestral Witches.
There were two hardest things in this world: one was taking money from someone else's pocket and making it your own; the other was stuffing your own ideas into someone else's head...
The latter was even harder than the former!
Thus, what he had in mind was more how to subtly influence the Ancestral Witches through small matters, little by little. Even if he could not, he still had to make preparations in advance...
This time, Dijiang had agreed to the matter.
Wu Tian also did not need to worry that Dijiang was merely paying lip service. The Ancestral Witches were quite reliable in this regard. With this, the Witch Clan would have its own great formation for morally blackmailing others!
Because Zhenyuanzi possessed the Earth Book, no one dared break the Earth Book's barrier, allowing him to roam freely through the Primordial Wilderness...
Could the Witch Clan likewise welcome a turning point?
Even if not, when the Witch-Demon final battle came in the future, the Ancestral Witches could shift the Karma of Mount Buzhou's breaking.
When that time came, whether it was the Demon Race or Saints who acted against them...
they would all be in for a world of trouble!
After this matter was settled, Dijiang bade Wu Tian farewell along with the other Ancestral Witches, saying with a smile:
"Steady your cultivation properly!"
"Don't worry about this matter. Leave it to us. When I return, I'll discuss with these brothers of yours how the formation should be altered..."
Then he departed with the Ancestral Witches.
Xuan Ming and Hou Tu, however, did not leave with them. They remained where they stood. Once everyone else had gone, Hou Tu asked somewhat worriedly:
"Wu Tian..."
"You seem rather pessimistic about the Witch Clan's future?"
Hou Tu was the only one among the Twelve Ancestral Witches to have developed a Primal Spirit. Her mind was also exceedingly keen, and she possessed greater insight into heavenly secrets and destiny.
From Wu Tian's actions, she had already sensed something!
Whether it was cultivating her Primal Spirit, or the alterations to the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation today, it all seemed to be making some sort of preparation for the future...
