The Ancestral Witches Were Surprisingly Nice

The Ancestral Witches were all stunned.

Something felt off...

But they could not put their finger on what exactly was wrong!

Most importantly, Wu Tian shamelessly invoked "Father God Pangu," leaving the Ancestral Witches without even the desire to argue.

Father God Pangu was supreme!

Dijiang muttered softly as well:

"Seems... somewhat reasonable!"

At that moment, Hou Tu stepped forward. She looked at Wu Tian with a smile, her eyes carrying an inexplicable meaning as she said:

"Fine!"

"Then let me try first and see whether you can refine my Houtu Essence Blood and gain control over some of my Power of Laws..."

As her words fell.

She actually slapped her chest!

A drop of Ancestral Witch Essence Blood, crimson-black in color, flew from Hou Tu's heart and entered Wu Tian's body in an instant.

Wu Tian did not even have time to say anything.

A powerful force immediately erupted within him!

"Boom!"

His blood energy surged throughout his body.

Wu Tian hurriedly closed his eyes and sat down within the Blood Pool of Pangu Hall. The power of his blood energy began circulating on its own...

"Little sister, this..."

Ancestral Witch Dijiang was somewhat surprised.

But Hou Tu kept her eyes fixed on Wu Tian. She always felt that this little brother before her was somehow different, and curiosity arose in her heart.

She might as well test it directly.

Seeing Dijiang's question, she smiled softly and said:

"It is only a drop of essence blood!"

"What if it does not work? He is one of our own in the end... But if it truly is as Wu Tian said..."

Only then.

Did Hou Tu turn back around.

Her eyes gleamed brightly, filled with expectation!

Hearing Hou Tu say this.

Dijiang's expression changed. Expectation also arose in his heart, and he muttered:

"That's right!"

"If it really is as he said, wouldn't the Witch Clan gain an Ancestral Witch who controls twelve Laws... Would Wu Tian become Father God Pangu's true inheritor?"

The Ancestral Witches were Pangu's blood descendants.

Yet each of them controlled only one Power of Laws. Moreover, because Pangu's essence blood had been tainted by Baleful Qi when heaven and earth first opened, they could not cultivate primordial spirits and were inherently incomplete!

Using the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation, the Ancestral Witches could merge their respective Powers of Laws and summon the Pangu True Form. This was their strongest attack...

If Wu Tian could bear twelve Powers of Laws as he claimed, would that not mean he could cultivate the Pangu True Form by himself?

At once, all the Ancestral Witches gathered around him.

They stared at Wu Tian without blinking, looking as though they wished they could personally help him refine it!

Wu Tian knew nothing of this.

Struck by the power of Hou Tu's essence blood, he had already immersed himself in the changes to his own blood energy. Memories slowly emerged from within his bloodline, astonishing Wu Tian beyond measure:

"Nine Revolutions Mystical Skill?"

But after giving it some thought.

He stopped making a fuss!

Having become the Witch Clan's Thirteenth Ancestral Witch, was it not perfectly normal for his bloodline to inherit Great God Pangu's cultivation method?

He simply stopped thinking about anything else and quickly began circulating his blood energy according to the Nine Revolutions Mystical Skill that had surfaced in his mind.

"Whoosh!"

The bloody light around Wu Tian grew increasingly intense.

The Hou Tu essence blood that had entered his body was incomparably violent... Although Hou Tu possessed somewhat less Baleful Qi, she was still an Ancestral Witch!

As the Nine Revolutions Mystical Skill began to circulate.

It changed in an instant. Its violent nature faded away, and it flowed through Wu Tian's body alongside the skill's power, strand by strand merging into his flesh...

One cycle.

Two cycles!

Wu Tian tirelessly circulated the cultivation method, continuously refining Hou Tu's essence blood. The Ancestral Witches showed no impatience at all, each watching with full concentration!

Very soon.

The blood energy and Baleful Qi within the essence blood were refined by the Nine Revolutions Mystical Skill and continuously fused into Wu Tian's body. His physical body grew ever stronger, and every trace of flesh shone with divine light...

The Power of Laws within it was also extracted. A wondrous sensation arose in Wu Tian's heart—immensely complex, yet like an instinct buried in his subconscious—as it imprinted itself upon his body!

Under the washing of the Law of Houtu.

A faint mark slowly appeared upon Wu Tian's soul. It was precisely Hou Tu's innate Law.

Wu Tian's soul also grew increasingly radiant!

After an unknown amount of time had passed.

The aura around Wu Tian slowly settled. He had finally refined that drop of Ancestral Witch Essence Blood completely, and only then did he reluctantly stop cultivating.

The moment he opened his eyes.

Wu Tian nearly jumped in fright!

"Why are you all staring at me like that?"

Wu Tian asked helplessly.

At this moment, the Twelve Ancestral Witches' gazes were blazing. Even Xuan Ming, who had glared at him earlier, had shock in her eyes. Their stares made Wu Tian feel uncomfortable all over!

It was as though needles were pricking his back.

At this moment.

Zhurong said in disbelief:

"You brat really pulled it off?!"

One had to know that the Powers of Laws of the Ancestral Witches conflicted with one another. For example, as the Space Ancestral Witch, Ancestral Witch Dijiang could not refine the essence blood of Zhu Jiuyin, the Time Ancestral Witch.

At most, he could extract the Baleful Qi and blood energy within it. As for the Power of Laws...

It was simply impossible to comprehend!

Yet they had watched with their own eyes as Wu Tian refined Hou Tu's essence blood. His aura had also changed slightly, becoming somewhat similar to Hou Tu's.

Clearly...

He had truly borne the Law of Houtu!

Before Zhurong could utter a second sentence, Ancestral Witch Dijiang slapped him aside and cut him off. Then, with divine light gleaming in his eyes, he asked Wu Tian:

"How do you feel now?"

Wu Tian briefly sensed himself.

"I feel pretty good!"

"Of course... it would be even better if I could get a few more drops of essence blood..."

After refining that drop of essence blood.

Wu Tian felt incomparably full, as though his energy had instantly surged beyond its limits. Yet at the same time, paradoxically, a desire naturally arose within him.

It was as if every part of his flesh had become hungry!

Enlightenment arose in his heart. Methods for using the Law of Houtu surfaced in his mind. It seemed he had truly gained control over a small and shallow portion of the Law of Houtu...

The Ancestral Witches were all stunned for a moment.

Then they burst into laughter!

Ancestral Witch Dijiang also said excitedly:

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

Seeing this, Hou Tu pondered briefly.

She raised her hand, preparing to force out another drop of essence blood for Wu Tian to refine...

But Dijiang stopped her.

Dijiang turned and exchanged looks with Zhu Jiuyin!

Then he directly called out to the Metal Ancestral Witch:

"Ru Shou!"

"Give Wu Tian a drop of essence blood and let him refine it to test him again..."

Dijiang did not ask Hou Tu to provide another one.

They had already verified that Wu Tian could refine Houtu Essence Blood and bear the Power of Laws of Houtu. What Dijiang wanted to know next was:

Could he bear other Laws as well?

Or was he like the other Ancestral Witches... with each Ancestral Witch only able to control a single Power of Laws?

"Wu Tian originally did not control any Laws. Could he truly break through this limitation?"

Stormy waves rose within Dijiang's heart. Thus, he stopped Hou Tu directly and named Ancestral Witch Ru Shou to offer his essence blood instead...

Ru Shou was the western Metal Ancestral Witch.

He was born with control over the Law of Metal.

And among the Five Elements, earth gave rise to metal!

Wu Tian had just refined Hou Tu's essence blood, so naturally, the essence blood of the Metal Ancestral Witch was the more suitable choice next...

Ru Shou did not say anything.

He silently nodded, forced out a drop of his own essence blood, and sent it toward Wu Tian. This drop of essence blood was brilliant like refined gold, radiating an incomparably sharp aura!

Before Wu Tian could even take it.

He felt as though that aura was piercing him. His blood energy began circulating on its own, resisting the sharpness radiating from the essence blood.

He stood frozen in place.

Looking at the eager-eyed Ancestral Witches, he did not know what to say for a moment...

He had only been casually saying it earlier.

In Wu Tian's view, the Power of Laws one controlled was incomparably precious. It was the most important thing to every Ancestral Witch!

It was almost equivalent to the Creation Marks of the Three Pure Ones.

If he had transmigrated into the Three Pure Ones' little brother, could he have gotten Creation Marks from them? Tongtian would probably give him one, but Taiqing and Yuanshi might not...

But the Ancestral Witches believed him!

Hou Tu had first stuffed a drop of essence blood into Wu Tian, and now Ru Shou was actually giving him a second drop...

In that instant.

A thought arose in Wu Tian's heart:

The Ancestral Witches were surprisingly nice!
