Should We Skip It This Time?

As the blood-red color spread across the entire vine.

A flash of light!

The next moment, it vanished...

As though it had sunk into the Innate Calabash Vine, the vine that had been covered in blood-red patterns, along with its branches and leaves, returned to their original appearance.

Wu Tian's face suddenly went pale.

"Whew!"

"It's just acknowledging a master, yet it needs so much blood essence. Don't tell me you're deliberately taking advantage of me?"

Wu Tian muttered softly.

Then the Innate Calabash Vine's spirituality stirred within his heart, giving him a feeling of complete mutual understanding. The Innate Calabash Vine voiced a dissatisfied "protest"!

Seeing this, he could only smile wryly.

"Alright, alright, alright..."

"I was only saying it casually!"

The Innate Calabash Vine currently possessed only rudimentary spirituality, like a young child. It seemed its intelligence would only mature once the seven calabashes growing on the vine fully ripened.

In the original course of fate,

the Innate Calabash Vine had never gotten the chance!

It was directly divided among the Three Pure Ones and the others. Even the vine itself was uprooted and taken away by Nüwa...

But things were different now.

Wu Tian had found it ahead of time and made it acknowledge him as its master ahead of time. With the Witch Clan protecting it, it could naturally escape its original fate. Through the Innate Calabash Vine and the calabashes upon it, Wu Tian could also intervene in even more opportunities!

As the Innate Calabash Vine acknowledged its master,

in an instant,

a vast flood of information surged into his mind. Insights into Innate Yin and Yang and the Five Elements continuously arose within his heart...

His head actually felt dizzy and swollen!

At the same time, Wu Tian gained a deeper understanding of the grand formation enveloping this valley. According to the information conveyed by the Innate Calabash Vine, this formation was called the Innate Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation, with the Innate Calabash Vine as its core.

The formation would continuously grow stronger along with the Calabash Vine...

Now that the Innate Calabash Vine had acknowledged Wu Tian as its master, the grand formation naturally fell under his control as well.

With a thought,

Whoosh!

The grand formation instantly began to turn.

Seven-colored glimmers continuously flashed across the invisible barrier. Of them, the purple and black lights were the most conspicuous, while the mysterious lights representing the Five Elements were somewhat dimmer!

A moment later,

the grand formation slowly opened a gap.

Seeing this, the Ancestral Witches all entered the valley. Arriving before the Innate Calabash Vine, they gazed at the extraordinarily divine treasure vine and clicked their tongues in amazement.

Wu Tian said with a smile,

"The Calabash Vine has already acknowledged its master!"

"No one can take it away now..."

The Ancestral Witches immediately became even happier.

Zhurong, however, widened his eyes in disbelief and said,

"It acknowledged a master just like that?"

"Didn't you only mutter a few words? This Calabash Vine can actually understand you?"

Countless branches and leaves immediately began to sway.

As though expressing their dissatisfaction!

Zhu Rong chuckled awkwardly. At that moment, Wu Tian also said with a smile,

"All things possess spirituality!"

"I communicated with it sincerely, so naturally it could understand and was willing to acknowledge me as its master..."

Of course,

that was not the whole reason!

The main reason was the aura of the Pangu True Form Wu Tian had displayed. The Innate Calabash Vine grew upon Mount Buzhou and needed to absorb Mount Buzhou's spiritual essence.

And in its eyes,

Wu Tian was clearly Pangu's most legitimate successor!

Naturally, it was willing to acknowledge him as its master...

Seeing Dijiang and the others curiously examining the seven little calabashes, Wu Tian smiled again and said,

"I plan to give these seven calabashes to my brothers, but they have not fully ripened yet. We'll need to wait a little longer!"

Dijiang quickly waved his hands.

Without even thinking, he directly refused, saying with a laugh,

"That's not what I meant..."

"I was merely curious and marveling at the wondrous creations of heaven and earth. I never expected there to be Innate Spiritual Roots that gathered Innate Yin and Yang and the Five Elements."

"You found and subdued this Calabash Vine yourself. How could we take advantage of you?"

If searching by book title doesn't work, try searching by the author instead. Perhaps it was simply renamed!

Wu Tian saw things differently.

Once the calabashes ripened, they naturally had to be used! They could not remain hanging here forever as mere decorations, could they?

Could he use all seven himself?

Naturally, he had to divide them among the Ancestral Witches and strengthen their power. The stronger the Ancestral Witches became, the more confidence Wu Tian would have...

"Whether it's a treasure or anything else... it only has meaning when it serves its purpose!"

After saying that,

Wu Tian joked,

"Only if you become stronger can you protect me better!"

The Ancestral Witches froze for a moment.

Then they burst into hearty laughter!

"Alright!"

"Since you've put it that way, we won't decline any further. We'll talk about it once these calabashes ripen... Besides, even without the calabashes, we would never let anyone bully you!"

Dijiang said with a hearty laugh.

The Ancestral Witches all nodded repeatedly!

At that moment, Houtu looked at Wu Tian with a beaming smile, her eyes curved like crescent moons as she teased,

"Exactly!"

"Other than Sister Xuan Ming, no one is allowed to bully you..."

Xuan Ming immediately flew into a rage.

She pounced toward Houtu!

Wu Tian was also somewhat speechless. He had originally thought Sister Houtu was the most composed and gentle one, so why had she started saying increasingly strange things?

She seemed to have become even livelier.

"Sister Houtu..."

"Look what this is?"

Wu Tian looked at Xuan Ming and Houtu, who were tangled together, then smiled wryly and raised the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth in his hand, gesturing toward Houtu.

The two women were both stunned.

Houtu sensed it slightly, and her eyes abruptly widened as she could not help but exclaim,

"What dense and heavy earth-element power..."

Wu Tian nodded with a smile.

He directly divided the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth in half and sent one portion toward Houtu, while explaining its mysterious properties to her!

Then Wu Tian said with a smile,

"You can inscribe the earth-element laws within this treasure and use them to strengthen your Primal Spirit. You'll surely achieve twice the result with half the effort..."

Houtu truly was compatible with this treasure.

Moreover, Wu Tian said that the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth could continuously multiply and possessed the meaning of endless life, so she did not deliberately refuse and directly accepted it!

Seeing this, Xuan Ming looked as though she had finally caught her chance. She gave Houtu a cold laugh and snorted lightly,

"Now then..."

"Isn't Wu Tian extremely attentive toward you too? So long as there's something you can use, he sends it straight to you!"

Houtu put away the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth.

Then she said with a soft smile,

"Of course!"

"The two of us jointly oversee the Houtu Tribe..."

Wu Tian could not be bothered to interfere with the two women's bickering. After smiling wryly, he looked toward Dijiang and the others, then said to Dijiang,

"Brother, I plan to cultivate here next and comprehend the yin-yang and Five Elements laws within the Innate Calabash Vine!"

"You should return to the tribe first!"

"When the time comes, come get me and we'll set out together..."

But after Wu Tian finished speaking,

the Ancestral Witches all wore strange expressions!

They looked at one another. In the end, Dijiang scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said with a bitter smile,

"Uh..."

"Wu Tian,"

"Let's skip the later lectures, shall we? We really have no interest in the immortal path Hongjun teaches!"

Zhu Rong hurriedly added,

"Yeah!"

"We cultivate using Baleful Qi. Zixiao Palace is filled with Heavenly Dao power and dense spiritual qi, which instead makes us feel as though we're sitting on needles..."

Though Dijiang was clearly the eldest among the Ancestral Witches and usually the one who made decisions, he now wore a fawning smile.

He carefully said,

"Wu Tian..."

"How about we don't go?"

"You, Xuan Ming, and Houtu can go listen to the Dao... Don't worry. If anyone dares cause you trouble, we'll block them right outside Zixiao Palace!"
