So He Cultivated a Primordial Spirit Just Like That?

Seeing Wu Tian make no move.

Xuan Ming immediately frowned!

The air within Pangu Hall seemed to frost over as Xuan Ming said with great displeasure:

"Cut the nonsense!"

"If you won't come over, then I'll go over there!"

Wu Tian cast a pleading look at Hou Tu, but Hou Tu wore a warm smile, with no intention of speaking up for him.

Wu Tian sighed inwardly:

"Alas!"

What else could he do?

Even if he had to grit his teeth, he had no choice but to go!

Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Xuan Ming's strength ranked near the top. Her temperament was cold and irritable, and dealing with the current Wu Tian could not have been easier.

And her reasoning was perfectly righteous:

How could the Witch Clan grow without battle?

You don't like fighting fierce beasts, do you? No problem. I personally came back to Pangu Hall to help you...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"..."

The battle was incomparably intense!

Only when Wu Tian had exhausted all his strength and was nearly at his limit did Xuan Ming finally stop in satisfaction. Pangu Hall fell quiet once more...

Only then did Wu Tian sit down again.

He felt as though his entire body were splitting apart. His muscles and bones had suffered not only the damage wrought by brute force, but also the erosion of the Law of Xuan Ming!

Yet, just as Xuan Ming had said.

After his body endured such pressure, Wu Tian's blood and qi became even more active, and the Nine Revolutions Mystical Skill abruptly accelerated...

Dense blood Baleful Intent flew out from the Blood Pool.

His body devoured it madly!

Not long afterward.

Wu Tian finally recovered completely. He looked utterly renewed, his physical body even tougher than before, while his control over the few Laws he had already refined had deepened as well...

Seeing this.

Xuan Ming kept a cold face and raised her chin slightly.

"Well?"

"Didn't I say so? You still need more practice..."

Wu Tian did not dispute this.

The Witch Clan's bodies seemed to possess some peculiar feedback mechanism. Under relentless devastation, so long as they did not die... they actually grew faster instead!

But...

He was not some masochist!

He could simply cultivate slowly—why put himself through this torment?

Wu Tian smiled and nodded.

Yet inwardly, he muttered to himself and made up his mind: once he had completely refined all twelve drops of Ancestral Witch Essence Blood and united the power of every Law within himself, he would definitely have a proper spar with Xuan Ming...

Today's humiliation would be repaid!

If I can't pin you down, can I still call myself a man?

Xuan Ming's eyes shifted as she frowned and asked:

"What are you thinking about?"

Wu Tian hurriedly denied it.

"Nothing!"

"I wasn't thinking about anything..."

Seeing the two of them like this, Hou Tu found it rather amusing. She shook her head slightly and said irritably:

"You two..."

Then she said to Wu Tian:

"Don't blame Sister Xuan Ming. She means well... Refining Essence Blood is certainly important, but you also can't neglect training your battle instincts!"

Wu Tian could only smile and nod.

"I know!"

Then he said to Xuan Ming:

"I naturally understand Sister Xuan Ming's intentions, but... it would be even better if you could go a little easier on me!"

Xuan Ming rolled her eyes at him.

Clearly, there was no way she would agree to such a request!

Wu Tian still wanted to say something, but then he suddenly heard Hou Tu say with a smile:

"Wu Tian, I've cultivated a Primordial Spirit."

Wu Tian's eyes flew wide open.

He froze instantly!

Cultivated a Primordial Spirit?

The shock in his heart was immense—far greater than if Hou Tu had told him she was carrying his child...

"Really?"

Wu Tian could not help asking again.

This was something he himself had set in motion!

Although Wu Tian rarely went out to fight alongside the Ancestral Witches, he had not been completely idle either. He wanted to establish himself as the Witch Clan's strategist.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

Once he had that persona established, he would use his brains while the Ancestral Witches provided the muscle!

Who had ever heard of a strategist needing to charge onto the battlefield and fight?

That way, Wu Tian could cultivate in peace. When crucial moments came in the future, his words would also draw the Ancestral Witches' attention, allowing him to slowly change the fate of the Witch Clan!

Thus, Wu Tian often offered little suggestions!

When he saw that the Ancestral Witches were somewhat dismissive of the merit gained from slaying ferocious beasts and absorbing the Killing Intent between Heaven and Earth, Wu Tian directly said:

"Why not give it all to Sister Hou Tu?"

"With merit protecting her, perhaps Sister Hou Tu might be able to cultivate a Primordial Spirit..."

This needed some explanation.

All living beings in the Primordial World possessed souls. As they continually cultivated and pursued the Great Dao, their souls would likewise rise in rank...

From soul to divine soul, then to true spirit!

Once laws were inscribed upon the divine soul, the true spirit became indestructible. Even if one's body perished and one's Dao was scattered, as long as the true spirit escaped, one could still be reincarnated and reborn—perhaps even return to the world once more.

But the Ancestral Witches were different.

They were born wielding the power of laws. Their physical bodies were immensely powerful, while the Killing Intent within them was incomparably dense, clashing with the innate pure qi required to cultivate a Primordial Spirit. Thus, they simply could not cultivate Primordial Spirits, and their divine souls were tightly fused with their bodies!

This came with one disadvantage:

If their physical bodies were slain, their true spirits could not escape from them either. The Ancestral Witches would not even have the chance to enter reincarnation; they would directly merge into the Primordial World along with their bodies.

But if they could cultivate Primordial Spirits, then it would be different!

With the protection of a Primordial Spirit, the true spirit could escape. They would not even need reincarnation—they could directly abandon their physical bodies and cultivate through their Primordial Spirits...

In the original course of events, Hou Tu was the only Ancestral Witch capable of cultivating a Primordial Spirit. Yet because of the limitations of an Ancestral Witch's body, after transforming herself into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she directly became Empress Pingxin.

There was even the saying: Pingxin was no longer a witch!

But if Hou Tu cultivated a Primordial Spirit in advance, and furthermore cultivated it to an even higher realm, would that change the outcome?

Empress Pingxin would remain, while there would also be another true Ancestral Witch Hou Tu?

Wu Tian did not know.

But he wanted to try...

After hearing Wu Tian's suggestion, Dijiang pondered briefly before directly agreeing, telling all the Ancestral Witches to hand over every bit of merit they had gained to Hou Tu...

"Let's try it..."

"What if this kid is right again?"

That was what Ancestral Witch Dijiang thought.

But in truth, no one held much hope, not even Wu Tian himself. He felt that Hou Tu might only have a chance after the lectures at Zixiao Palace!

Bringing it up now

was merely meant to prepare in advance and lay some groundwork for Ancestral Witch Hou Tu...

Yet against all expectation, it had truly worked!

Whoosh!

Hou Tu suddenly erupted with Golden Light of Merit in a profound yellow hue, suppressing the Killing Intent within her. Then, wrapped in that Golden Light of Merit, a three-inch Primordial Spirit emerged from above her head.

It was lifelike, identical to Hou Tu herself!

It sat cross-legged within the golden light...

Seeing this scene, Wu Tian was finally completely certain.

An incomparably intense joy also welled up in his heart!

Now that Hou Tu had cultivated a Primordial Spirit ahead of time, no matter what changes came in the future, there was one thing Wu Tian was absolutely sure of:

Hou Tu's thigh had grown thicker!

Wu Tian's thoughts stirred, and he hurriedly asked again:

"Have you informed the elder brothers?"

Hou Tu nodded with a soft laugh.

At that moment, several booming voices suddenly rang out, echoing through Pangu Hall and leaving Wu Tian's ears ringing:

"Little sister Hou Tu!"

"You really cultivated a Primordial Spirit?"

The next instant, a whole crowd of figures rushed in.

The ancestral witches had gathered once more, all staring brightly at the Primordial Spirit above Hou Tu's head, their eyes brimming with delight!

After watching for a while longer, Dijiang revealed a confident smile, looking as though everything was under his control as he said with a chuckle:

"I understand now!"

"Among us ancestral witches, aside from Wu Tian... Hou Tu was the last to be born, and the Killing Intent on her is also the weakest. Now that she has so much merit protecting her and warding off the Killing Intent, that's why she was able to cultivate a Primordial Spirit..."

Wu Tian nodded slightly as well.

He had actually figured it out too. If he had made the suggestion a little later, once Hou Tu had become stronger, her physical body more formidable, and the Killing Intent within her body heavier, it would instead have been far less easy than it was now!

Just as he was thinking this, Smack!

Dijiang's palm landed on Wu Tian's shoulder again, instantly scattering all of Wu Tian's thoughts.

"Wu Tian, we have you to thank this time!"

Dijiang's gaze burned with fervor.

"You've got something, kid!"

"You really do..."
