Return to the Primordial Wilderness

After Kunpeng left.

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin joined forces once more. With the Power of Laws surging, the Ancestral Witches continued traveling through Chaos toward the Primordial World...

Wu Tian also handed the Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag to Xuan Ming and said with a smile:

"Sister Xuan Ming..."

"You really are lucky!"

He had just thought of the treasure most suited to Xuan Ming, only for Kunpeng to deliver it right to them moments later. Could there really be such a coincidence?

Even Wu Tian found it strange.

Kunpeng had actually been willing to part with it!

He was completely different from the Kunpeng Wu Tian remembered...

Still, it was only natural. Who said the stories and legends he knew from his past life had to be completely accurate?

Take Hongjun, for example.

His intervention outside Zixiao Palace had greatly surprised Wu Tian. He had been nothing like the composed and effortless figure Wu Tian had imagined. Instead, he had seemed somewhat impatient...

Looking at the small triangular flag before her.

Xuan Ming was still somewhat puzzled. She raised her head to look at Wu Tian, and a hint of confusion appeared on her cool, detached face, giving her an unexpected charm...

Wu Tian rarely saw her like this.

He froze for a moment!

Then he felt an incomparably sharp gaze that seemed ready to stab him to death, and hurriedly explained:

"This Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is the most compatible with you. If you can refine it and use it to suppress your primordial spirit, it can solve the problem of Baleful Qi erosion..."

"Heh..."

"I had only just thought of this treasure when Kunpeng appeared before us and practically delivered it to my door. That's why I said Sister Xuan Ming has such good fortune!"

After hearing Wu Tian's words.

The Ancestral Witches were all delighted!

Gonggong laughed in a deep, booming voice:

"What is so strange about that? We are the Orthodox Pangu Lineage, descendants of Father God Pangu, favored by the Fortune of the Primordial World. Of course our luck is excellent!"

The other Ancestral Witches also laughed and nodded.

Seeing how confident they were, Wu Tian did not say anything discouraging at this moment. In truth, during this Tribulation, the Ancestral Witches possessed extremely powerful Fortune!

Before the Witches and Demons War.

Everything they did had indeed gone smoothly...

Xuan Ming pondered briefly. Rather than refusing, she reached out and took the Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag, then tried to return the Primordial Measuring Sky Ruler to Wu Tian!

Wu Tian quickly stopped her.

"What's the rush?"

"Wait until you've refined this treasure first..."

Without completely refining the Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag, how could she fully wield its power and protect the primordial spirit she had only just formed?

So Wu Tian was in no hurry.

At this moment, Houtu also smiled and said:

"You should listen to him!"

"I've figured it out too. This fellow is quite clever. Whatever he says, just do it..."

Wu Tian immediately looked toward Houtu.

He put on an overwhelmed expression and said with a cheerful smile:

"Thank you for the praise, Sister Houtu!"

Houtu only smiled without speaking.

However, after hearing this, Xuan Ming no longer insisted on returning the Primordial Measuring Sky Ruler. She put away the Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag and quickly began refining it...

The sooner she refined it, the sooner she could return the treasure!

At this moment, Zhu Rong suddenly spoke:

"Wu Tian..."

"Are there any more treasures like the Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag? If we could get a few more, could we also cultivate primordial spirits?"

Before Wu Tian could answer.

Dijiang shot him a glare and directly rebuked him:

"What are you thinking?"

"Only after you cultivate a primordial spirit can an Innate Spiritual Treasure serve its purpose. It isn't that you can cultivate a primordial spirit simply by holding an Innate Spiritual Treasure..."

"However..."

"It would be great if we could get one for Sister Houtu too! Merit will always be exhausted one day. It would be safer to have an Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

After saying that.

Dijiang looked over with blazing eyes!

Wu Tian organized his thoughts slightly, then explained with a smile:

"There are treasures..."

"This Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag is one of the Innate Five Direction Flags. The others are the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, Western Plain Cloud Banner, Southern Departure Fire Banner, and Central Earth Apricot Yellow Banner!"

"If we are talking about suitability, then the Central Earth Apricot Yellow Banner is the best match for Sister Houtu."

Zhu Rong's eyes immediately lit up.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

"Do we know who has it? If we do, let's go snatch it back right now!"

Wu Tian immediately gave a bitter smile.

In the original course of events, the other Innate Five Direction Flags should currently have been in Hongjun's possession. After his teachings at Zixiao Palace, he bestowed them upon others!

Only afterward did they fall into the hands of Taiqing and the others.

Among them, Taiqing obtained the Southern Departure Fire Banner, Yuanshi Tianzun obtained the Central Earth Apricot Yellow Banner, Zhunti obtained the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, while Queen Mother of the West obtained the Western Plain Cloud Banner...

"It should be in Sage Hongjun's hands!"

Upon hearing this.

Zhu Rong, who had been wearing an arrogant expression moments ago, suddenly froze. He stared wide-eyed and cried out:

"Ah?"

The Ancestral Witches immediately burst into laughter.

Then Dijiang waved a large hand.

"No rush!"

"So what if he is a Sage? Once us brothers become stronger, we may not necessarily need to fear them..."

The Ancestral Witches held no reverence for Hongjun or the Heavenly Dao. They stood tall between heaven and earth and worshiped only Father God Pangu!

Even after hearing that it was Hongjun.

They did not immediately give up...

However, after seeing Hongjun, Houtu had already realized that his strength was unfathomable. She did not wish to bring a powerful enemy upon the Witch Clan because of herself.

She immediately smiled and said:

"Forget it..."

"After the second teaching at Zixiao Palace, once our primordial spirits advance to quasi-sage, we will no longer fear the disturbance of our own Baleful Qi. Why would we need that flag?"

Wu Tian nodded slightly at her words.

However, he did not directly give up. Instead, another thought arose in his mind:

"It would be difficult to snatch it while it is in Hongjun's hands..."

"But once it falls into Yuanshi Tianzun's hands, it shouldn't be so hard to take, right?"

Back at Zixiao Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun had nearly come to blows with the Ancestral Witches, so Wu Tian felt no psychological burden at all in plotting against him!

As for Houtu not needing it...

Wu Tian had another idea as well:

The Northern Profound Origin Control Water Flag alone was already a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. If all five elements could be united, it would surely possess the might of an Innate Supreme Treasure!

If he could obtain all five Innate Five Direction Flags, then have Xuan Ming, Zhu Rong, Houtu, Ru Shou, and Goumang, whose attributes matched them, form a great formation.

Wouldn't the Witch Clan gain another top-tier formation?

Even if the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation was broken, the remaining Ancestral Witches could still form a formation, or perhaps even create formations within formations...

But the difficulty was indeed rather great.

"No rush!"

"We can proceed step by step..."

Wu Tian muttered inwardly, then stopped thinking about it. He also smiled and echoed Houtu's words, dispelling the Ancestral Witches' thoughts.

It was not yet time...

There was no need to have them confront Hongjun again!

Afterward, he sat cross-legged within the barrier and continued comprehending Dijiang's Law of Space and Zhu Jiuyin's Law of Time.

A long time passed.

At last, the Primordial World appeared before them!

The Ancestral Witches shot out of Chaos with a whoosh, entered the Chaos Fetal Membrane, and returned to the Primordial World...

Wu Tian also sat up excitedly.

After spending so long in the dull and tasteless Chaos, the magnificent Primordial World before him felt all the more precious and familiar. Wu Tian hurriedly looked toward Mount Buzhou!

Another expectation arose in his heart:

Had Jiufeng and the others found the Innate Calabash Vine?
