The Innate Calabash Vine's Good Fortune

After Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking.

The Ancestral Witches had all gained greatly, each wearing a thoughtful expression. Dijiang was especially delighted as he said:

"I understand now..."

The Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation was a supreme formation inherited through their bloodline from Great God Pangu. Altering it would not be so simple.

The Ancestral Witches had not been idle during this time either.

There were still many problems.

But after drawing lessons from the Earth Book formation this time, the doubts in their hearts were immediately resolved...

The Ancestral Witches all looked toward Zhen Yuanzi, their gazes blazing. Both Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were somewhat surprised, and Zhen Yuanzi cautiously asked:

"Brother Dijiang..."

"Is there something wrong?"

Dijiang suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha..."

"Forget calling each other fellow Daoists from now on. You two are brothers of our Witch Clan now—Brother Zhen Yuanzi, Brother Hongyun!"

The two immediately laughed upon hearing this.

Neither dwelled on who among them had taken form first. Smiling, they answered Dijiang:

"Brother Dijiang!"

Then they turned to Wu Tian:

"Brother Wu Tian!"

Wu Tian was quite happy as well.

This scene made him sigh inwardly:

"Who said the Ancestral Witches had no brains?"

"Isn't Brother Dijiang pretty good at handling people?"

That single "brother" had made Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun so happy that they could barely close their mouths!

In truth, the two were indeed flattered.

It was not because the Ancestral Witches possessed such lofty status. Though they were of the Orthodox Pangu Lineage, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were not of inferior origins either, so they did not care much about that...

It was because of the Ancestral Witches' reputation!

The Ancestral Witches were notoriously foul-tempered and unyielding throughout the Primordial Wilderness. Back in Zixiao Palace, they had not shown Dao Ancestor Hongjun much respect. They were also fiercely protective of their own and highly exclusionary.

That word, "brother," was naturally rare indeed.

Dijiang immediately stopped concealing anything from Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, directly beginning discussions on the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation and the founding of the Witch Clan.

The Ancestral Witches no longer treated them as outsiders.

However, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun knew better. They hurriedly said to Wu Tian:

"Brother Wu Tian..."

"These are internal matters of the Witch Clan, so the two of us should not take part. Thanks to your guidance earlier, I have gained many insights and wish to consolidate them properly!"

"How about we cultivate for a while first?"

After Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun insisted repeatedly, Wu Tian smiled and said:

"Very well..."

"There happens to be a place on Mount Buzhou suitable for the two of you to cultivate. I'll take you there now!"

The place Wu Tian meant was naturally the valley where the Innate Calabash Vine stood.

Although Pangu Hall contained another space within it.

Its Baleful Qi was far too dense!

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun ultimately cultivated pure, ethereal qi, which did not suit this place. Naturally, cultivation here could not compare to the location of the Innate Calabash Vine.

Besides.

The valley was brimming with spiritual qi and abundant in the power of laws. Coupled with the Innate Calabash Vine's origins, it might even offer Zhen Yuanzi further inspiration...

Once the others heard Wu Tian say this.

The Ancestral Witches immediately understood where he meant. They all found it very suitable and nodded with smiles!

Wu Tian then led the two away.

When the three landed before the valley, surprise filled Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun's faces as they curiously examined the empty scene before them.

"Nothing looks special!"

At that moment, Xing Tian emerged from the shadows.

"Xing Tian greets Lord Ancestral Witch!"

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun's eyes immediately lit up at those words. Everyone had been unclear about Wu Tian's precise identity, but now Xing Tian had revealed it.

An Ancestral Witch?

Wu Tian truly was an Ancestral Witch as well!

Otherwise, how could he call Dijiang and the others brothers?

The next moment, the two became puzzled again:

"Weren't there Twelve Ancestral Witches?"

"Then what is going on with Wu Tian?"

Wu Tian paid no attention to their strange reactions.

Nor did he care that they now knew his identity. He simply smiled at Xing Tian and said:

"You've worked hard, Xing Tian!"

"You won't need to guard this place any longer... Return to the tribe first!"

Wu Tian smiled and patted Xing Tian on the shoulder.

As a sign of encouragement!

This was something he had learned from Dijiang...

He wanted to reward these Great Witches, but Wu Tian had never had anything suitable on hand. For now, he could only encourage them spiritually.

However, Wu Tian had already made up his mind:

Given Xing Tian's service in guarding the Innate Calabash Vine for him, he definitely would not allow him to become a "brainless" man in the future!

Xing Tian did not understand, but he did not ask a single question.

Everyone said that Lord Ancestral Witch Wu Tian was the smartest among all the Ancestral Witch lords. Whatever he did naturally had its reasons!

He immediately agreed with a cheerful smile:

"This Xing Tian obeys Lord Ancestral Witch's command!"

"I'll return first, then. If Lord Ancestral Witch has any further orders, simply call for Xing Tian..."

After seeing Xing Tian off.

Before the astonished eyes of Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, Wu Tian lightly tapped the empty air before him.

Whoosh!

Seven-colored radiance flashed forth.

The formation that had concealed the valley finally revealed itself, silently opening an entrance before the three of them!

"Brother Zhen Yuanzi, Brother Hongyun."

"Please!"

Wu Tian made a gesture.

The two immediately walked into the formation. The moment they entered, shock filled their eyes. Within the valley that had suddenly appeared, dense spiritual qi had gathered into a lake, and the entire space brimmed with spiritual vitality.

That alone was nothing!

It was not as though they had never seen such blessed grotto-heavens before...

But the Innate Calabash Vine instantly seized both their gazes, leaving them unable to look away for a long while.

"An Innate Spiritual Root!"

"Innate Yin and Yang, the Five Elements..."

"How is this possible?"

Zhen Yuanzi could not help crying out.

Because of his own nature, he knew the Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial Wilderness extremely well. Yet he had never imagined that an Innate Spiritual Root capable of gathering Yin and Yang and the Five Elements could exist...

Zhen Yuanzi's Ginseng Fruit Tree possessed the Earth Element; Zhunti's true body, the Bodhi Tree, was an Innate Spiritual Root of the Gold Element!

There was also the Fusang Tree upon the Sun Star.

It was Innate Fire Element!

Even possessing a single innate law was already exceedingly rare and immensely powerful. How much more extraordinary was the Innate Calabash Vine before them, which possessed Innate Yin and Yang and all Five Elements?

When he saw the aura of the Innate Calabash Vine intermingling with Wu Tian's, responding to one another, Zhen Yuanzi immediately understood that this spiritual root had already acknowledged a master.

He could not help saying:

"Brother Wu Tian!"

"You really are fortunate!"

His envy was plain to see!

Wu Tian immediately chuckled.

"Haha..."

"Brother Zhen Yuanzi, don't you have the Ginseng Fruit Tree as well? It is one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots!"

There was no need to describe how rare the Innate Calabash Vine was.

In the original course of events.

Even before its calabashes had fully matured, they were already tremendously powerful, each becoming a renowned treasure in the Primordial Wilderness. This showed just how formidable it was...

Upon hearing Wu Tian say this.

A bitter smile appeared on Zhen Yuanzi's face, as though he had recalled his own origins. But one's origins were secrets in the Primordial Wilderness, so Wu Tian could not pry.

Just then.

To Wu Tian's surprise, Zhen Yuanzi let out a soft sigh. His gaze toward the Innate Calabash Vine actually carried a trace of pity:

"Alas..."

"This Innate Calabash Vine is indeed powerful, but you must also be careful, little brother. How could the Heavenly Dao permit such a perfect thing to exist? It will likely face calamity in the future!"

"If it cannot overcome it..."

As Zhen Yuanzi spoke, he slowly shook his head.

At that moment, the Innate Calabash Vine seemed to sense Zhen Yuanzi's feelings as well. Countless leaves rustled, while vines reached out and curled toward Wu Tian!

Wu Tian's heart tightened.

Zhen Yuanzi was indeed right. In the original course of events, the Innate Calabash Vine had truly suffered calamity, brutally "dismembered" before it could mature...

But things were different now.

Wu Tian's expression suddenly turned solemn:

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zhen Yuanzi!"

"I naturally understand that such an Innate Spiritual Root will be difficult for heaven and earth to tolerate. But since it has already acknowledged me as its master, I will naturally protect it!"

"You want to harm this Calabash Vine?"

"Ask our Witch Clan first!"

Wu Tian spoke with great dominance.

The two men's expressions immediately changed as they stared at Wu Tian in surprise. Wu Tian had always seemed so gentle that they had nearly forgotten he was a member of the Witch Clan...

After a moment.

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly smiled:

"I take back what I said earlier!"

"It is not that you are fortunate to obtain this Innate Calabash Vine, little brother. Rather, the Innate Calabash Vine is fortunate to have encountered you..."
