Consulting the Earth Book Formation

Great kindness needs no thanks.

Before such a favor of attaining the Dao, a few simple words of gratitude were truly insignificant. Zhen Yuanzi understood this as well, so he merely said a few words.

Then he engraved everything in his heart!

He had already made up his mind:

He would repay this kindness properly!

Seeing Zhen Yuanzi comprehend his own Dao under Wu Tian's guidance, Hongyun felt somewhat embarrassed, yet he still could not help looking at Wu Tian expectantly.

Wu Tian was instantly speechless.

Uh...

What could he say about Hongyun?

He could hardly tell him, "Die first, then reincarnate as Shennong and attain the Dao," could he?

Besides, the matter of yielding seats at Zixiao Palace had already undergone tremendous changes because of his interference. Whether Hongyun would still end up as he had originally was uncertain!

Still...

Hongyun already possessed three of the Four Symbols' powers. With such an excellent foundation, he only needed to gather the final power and complete the Four Symbols' powers.

Then he would naturally be able to achieve his own Dao!

Thus, after pondering briefly, Wu Tian smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you might as well consider how to complete your own laws. You should also contemplate the Dao of Worlds that I just gave Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi!"

"Perhaps you may gain something from it..."

Hongyun hurriedly nodded.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he headed toward the Witch Clan at the foot of Mount Buzhou under Wu Tian's guidance!

Whoosh!

Two streams of Baleful Qi shot into the sky.

They immediately blocked Hongyun's path. The figures of Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin appeared in midair, and they shouted angrily:

"Who goes there?"

They were actually about to attack Hongyun.

Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi quickly released their powers. The Four Symbols' powers immediately dispersed, revealing the auras of Wu Tian and the others...

Only then did Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin stop!

"Eh!"

"It's you..."

After everyone descended.

Dijiang even curiously sized Hongyun up and down before muttering:

"I couldn't tell..."

"You're such a softhearted fellow, yet you can actually control the Four Symbols' powers. Not bad, not bad!"

The Four Symbols' powers revolved and intertwined.

They had completely concealed the auras of Wu Tian and the others, which was why Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin had suddenly rushed out...

Hongyun was rendered speechless by this.

He did not know whether to laugh or what to do in response to Dijiang's words. Still, he knew that this was simply how the Ancestral Witches were, so he did not take offense!

Wu Tian hurriedly said:

"Brother!"

"Fellow Daoists Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun are guests I invited to pay their respects..."

Then he turned to Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun.

At Zixiao Palace earlier, it had not been appropriate to speak too plainly. Now that they had arrived in Witch Clan territory, Wu Tian directly gave them a simple explanation of their plans.

"Announce it to Great God Pangu?"

"Establish the Witch Clan?"

"Bring Mount Buzhou into the Twelve Heavenly Gods Killing Formation?"

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun looked at each other.

But soon enough.

As the first person in the Primordial Wilderness to create a formation for moral coercion, Zhen Yuanzi quickly understood Wu Tian's intentions and looked toward him with a smile.

Their eyes met.

They revealed smiles that needed no words!

Zhen Yuanzi did not mind at all. Instead, he felt as though he had encountered a kindred spirit. He had cultivated the Earth Book Formation because he feared others would come knocking at his door.

Though he and Hongyun had excellent reputations.

And never took the initiative to provoke trouble...

Their strength was ultimately insufficient, and their dispositions were far too gentle. They would inevitably be bullied by others, which was why he had conceived such an idea!

"But..."

"The Witch Clan is so powerful! The Ancestral Witches possess astonishing strength, so why would they also have such thoughts?"

This was clearly preparation for something.

Zhen Yuanzi pondered it in his heart. When he failed to understand, he simply stopped thinking about it and instead said with a smile:

"Perfect!"

"I have some experience in this regard. How about I explain the layout of my Earth Book Formation and let you Fellow Daoists consider it?"

Thinking of the kindness Wu Tian and the Witch Clan had shown him and Hongyun, Zhen Yuanzi directly made this decision, thinking to himself:

This could be considered repaying part of the Karma!

Wu Tian was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this.

The Earth Book Formation was Zhen Yuanzi's trump card for preserving his life, an extremely important secret. Yet he was willing to share it...

Wu Tian considered it from every angle.

In the end, he did not refuse. Instead, he solemnly said:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi!"

Zhen Yuanzi was also greatly satisfied.

At last, he could help Wu Tian a little. This would make him feel more at ease. Otherwise, always owing Wu Tian such a debt of gratitude might even affect his Dao Heart...

Dijiang and the others were also delighted!

The more they looked at Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, the more pleasing they found them. Dijiang even stepped forward and gave Hongyun a heavy slap on the shoulder:

"Haha!"

"From now on, you are friends of our Witch Clan! If anyone dares bully you, just invoke the name of our Witch Clan..."

Hongyun was somewhat unaccustomed to Dijiang's enthusiasm!

But he also knew that he and Brother Zhen Yuanzi had truly earned the recognition of the Ancestral Witches. He was greatly encouraged, and the smile on his face became even more carefree...

Then.

Everyone headed to Pangu Hall.

The other Ancestral Witches also came rushing over upon hearing the news. Before Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun could even say anything, they heard Dijiang declare loudly, "They are friends of our Witch Clan!" The Ancestral Witches immediately became exceedingly welcoming!

Wu Tian had originally wanted to entertain the two of them.

But Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand with a smile and said:

"Important matters come first!"

He immediately began explaining.

The Earth Book appeared before Zhen Yuanzi, radiating an earthen-yellow glow. Its countless veins and nodes were displayed before the Ancestral Witches...

These veins represented the paths of the Earth Veins throughout the Primordial Wilderness!

Each point of light upon it represented a blessed grotto-heaven rich in spiritual energy throughout the Primordial Wilderness...

Zhen Yuanzi explained slowly.

Not only that.

After he finished explaining, although Zhen Yuanzi did not know the precise details of the Twelve Heavenly Gods Killing Formation, he still offered suggestions based on his own deductions!

The Ancestral Witches listened with rapt attention.

After all, they had the Twelve Heavenly Gods Killing Formation to verify things against, so no one lost focus. They were far more serious than when they had listened to the Dao at Zixiao Palace...

Wu Tian also carefully committed everything to memory.

Many insights continuously arose in his heart. The twelve types of Power of Laws within his soul surged and changed without end.

Just then.

Houtu quietly nudged him, then secretly transmitted her voice to Wu Tian:

"I was wondering before..."

"Why were you treating those two brothers so well for no reason? So you had been preparing for this all along!"

The Earth Book Formation was indeed incomparably intricate.

After listening, Houtu also felt that she had gained much from it, acquiring many more insights into the Twelve Heavenly Gods Killing Formation!

That was why she said such things.

Wu Tian hurriedly protested:

"Sister Houtu, you've truly misunderstood me this time... I really didn't have such thoughts at first. I definitely wasn't doing this for the Earth Book Formation!"

Wu Tian's original plan had been to disrupt the opportunity of the seats. When they first entered Zixiao Palace, Hongjun had directly interfered.

He had feared that the Ancestral Witches would obtain a few more seats!

Since that was the case.

How could Wu Tian let Hongjun have it easy?

Naturally, he had to disrupt his arrangements.

Moreover, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun truly deserved their reputation as the good old men of the Primordial Wilderness. Being around them was indeed comfortable, and there was no need to worry about any future troubles...

But Wu Tian could not say any of this directly.

So Houtu did not believe him!

Yet Houtu's gaze was filled with delight and approval, as though she was extremely satisfied with Wu Tian's ability to plan everything in advance...

Seeing this.

Wu Tian simply stopped arguing.

He merely muttered to himself inwardly:

Fine... Think whatever you want. As long as we quickly improve the formation and bind Mount Buzhou to it!
