After Dijiang's sigh, the other Ancestral Witches also began praising him one after another. Zhurong shoved his way to the front, craned his head out, and asked Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, do you think I can do it?"

Zhurong blinked.

I want to improve too...

I want to cultivate a Primordial Spirit too!

"Uh..."

Wu Tian was at a loss for words.

He did not know whether he should speak bluntly or put it more tactfully.

Hou Tu could do it because, even without Wu Tian's advice, she was the only one among the Ancestral Witches capable of cultivating a Primordial Spirit!

Wu Tian had merely brought it forward through his interference.

And that was only because Hou Tu had appeared not long ago and had not yet begun madly refining the Killing Intent between heaven and earth...

Of course.

As the Thirteenth Ancestral Witch, born even later than Hou Tu, Wu Tian was certain that he could cultivate a Primordial Spirit!

Unlike the other Ancestral Witches.

All Killing Intent that entered his body was tempered by the Nine Revolutions Mystical Skill, the cultivation method inherited through his bloodline, directly becoming the most fundamental power and merging into his fleshly body.

For that very reason.

Wu Tian looked utterly different from the other Ancestral Witches. He did not have that soaring Killing Intent surrounding him at all...

"Could it be that the Nine Revolutions Mystical Skill I cultivate differs from that of the other Ancestral Witches?"

This doubt arose in Wu Tian's heart.

But after seeking confirmation from Hou Tu, he discovered that it was exactly the same. He could only attribute it to his own uniqueness!

He had yet to cultivate a Primordial Spirit.

For now, he simply operated the Nine Revolutions Mystical Skill steadily, continuously refining the Ancestral Witch Essence Blood. Wu Tian felt that perhaps once he had refined all the essence blood, his fleshly body would become powerful and complete, and his Primordial Spirit would be born naturally!

Just as Wu Tian was weighing his words.

And preparing to speak, a hand reached out from the crowd and yanked Zhurong back.

Gonggong laughed heartily and said, "Stop causing trouble!"

"You think you're like little sister Hou Tu? You want to cultivate a Primordial Spirit too..."

Zhurong immediately flew into a rage.

At once, he began arguing with Gonggong!

"Get out, all of you!"

Dijiang instantly became furious.

"Boom!"

He swung a palm at each of them. The Law of Space activated, sending the two directly out of Pangu Hall.

Seeing the other Ancestral Witches grinning as they watched the fun, he glared and drove them out as well.

Now, only five people remained in the hall.

Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, Xuan Ming, Hou Tu, and Wu Tian, who stood surrounded in the middle...

With Hou Tu having cultivated a Primordial Spirit, Dijiang increasingly felt that this kid was no ordinary person:

"Among the entire Witch Clan!"

"His wisdom is probably second only to mine..."

Dijiang immediately asked curiously, "Little sister Hou Tu has already cultivated a Primordial Spirit. What about you?"

The Killing Intent around Wu Tian was even lighter than Hou Tu's.

He did not even need merit to protect his body!

Wu Tian voiced his thoughts and said with a smile, "Once I refine all this essence blood..."

"Then, when all twelve laws are complete and I myself reach perfection, a Primordial Spirit will be born naturally!"

Dijiang nodded again upon hearing this.

Then he asked about Wu Tian's cultivation. Wu Tian told Dijiang everything without holding back. By now, he had already refined five drops of Ancestral Witch Essence Blood, following precisely the order in which the Five Elements generated and restrained one another...

Dijiang nodded in satisfaction after listening.

He and Zhu Jiuyin exchanged a glance, then said with a smile:

"My laws and your second brother's are rather special!"

"When you refine them, if you run into any problems... come find us anytime, and we'll clear up your doubts!"

After saying this, Dijiang added with a smile:

"There are only thirteen of us Ancestral Witches!"

"I'm planning to activate the Blood Pool and nurture more clansmen. What do you think?"

After venturing outside for a while, the Ancestral Witches had witnessed the immense grandeur of the three clans, each with hundreds of millions of members, and naturally yearned for the same. Moreover, they themselves had been born from the Blood Pool within Pangu Hall, so they wanted to follow the same method and use the Blood Pool to nurture more clansmen...

Now that Wu Tian carried greater weight in their eyes, coupled with Hou Tu having developed a Primordial Spirit, they naturally wanted to ask Wu Tian about it.

To hear his opinion...

They did not necessarily have to take it, but there was no harm in using it for reference, right?

Wu Tian nodded at those words.

The idea was reasonable. In the original course of events, the Ancestral Witches had done exactly this. Aside from being unable to cultivate Primordial Spirits, the Witch Clan's physical bodies had another flaw: they found it difficult to reproduce!

What else could they do if they did not use the Blood Pool to incubate offspring?

"Not good!"

"Don't tell me I'm like that too?"

Wu Tian cried out inwardly.

His expression immediately changed, and he could not help casting a sidelong glance at Xuan Ming and Hou Tu—only for Xuan Ming to fiercely glare back at him!

There was nothing he could do...

There was no way to verify it now.

He could only wait until there was an opportunity in the future...

Wu Tian suppressed the thought, then said to Dijiang:

"I think it can be done!"

"However, the Blood Pool is not inexhaustible. One day, it will eventually be depleted. Therefore... when you brothers hunt Ferocious Beasts outside, you might as well bring their corpses back and throw them into the Blood Pool."

"And..."

"Even if our clansmen grow in number, there's no need for us to clash with the three clans now. We can simply develop slowly at the foot of Mount Buzhou!"

It was now the Dragon-Han Tribulation.

The three clans were the true protagonists of this Tribulation!

Even if the Ancestral Witches stepped forward now, they would be no match for the three clans. They would only become tainted by Karma for nothing. They might as well kill some Ferocious Beasts, absorb the Killing Intent between heaven and earth, and accumulate some merit...

After the three clans fell, it would not be too late for the Witch Clan to develop on a grand scale!

Build high walls, stockpile grain, and claim kingship slowly...

This was a principle known to anyone from later generations.

Once Wu Tian had finished speaking, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin both nodded slightly. Xuan Ming and Hou Tu said nothing, merely watching Wu Tian with bright eyes.

Seeing Wu Tian's confident, eloquent manner, both women could not help nodding slightly, seemingly quite satisfied!

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin exchanged a look.

After a moment of silence, Dijiang suddenly asked:

"Who do you think will emerge victorious among the three clans?"

"And ultimately rule the Primordial Wilderness?"

Without a moment's thought, Wu Tian directly shook his head!

"None of them!"

"None of the three clans will be able to rule the Primordial Wilderness. They will all meet a bleak end... The final victor will definitely be Hongjun!"

Dijiang abruptly raised his head.

Surprise filled his eyes as he muttered:

"Hongjun!"

Wu Tian nodded again.

He had deliberately said these things before Dijiang, and with such certainty, precisely to leave a deep impression on Dijiang and the others!

Once these things were verified one by one in the future, Dijiang and the others would be thoroughly won over by Wu Tian and acknowledge his precise judgment of the greater trends of the Primordial Wilderness. Wu Tian would also gain more say within the Witch Clan...

At a critical moment, only if he spoke would the Ancestral Witches listen!

Therefore, Wu Tian continued with a smile:

"Big Brother, just watch!"

"The next developments will definitely unfold like this: the struggle among the three clans is all being stirred up by Luo Hou behind the scenes. The conflict between Luo Hou and Hongjun is the main contradiction, but Luo Hou definitely won't be able to defeat Hongjun..."

Dijiang nodded slightly.

He said nothing, but he committed all of Wu Tian's words to heart, intending to verify them bit by bit in the days to come!

It would be no big deal if Wu Tian was wrong.

But if things truly developed this way...

that would be extraordinary!

At this thought, Dijiang looked at Wu Tian with a strange gaze...

Seeing that Dijiang and the others had taken his words to heart, Wu Tian finally let out a breath of relief. His expression relaxed as well. There was no rush now—sooner or later, they would learn just how formidable this Thirteenth Ancestral Witch was!

Right after that, Wu Tian's smile changed. To the Ancestral Witches, he now looked rather sly as he continued speaking to Dijiang and the others:

"I have another idea...

"Besides killing Ferocious Beasts and steadily developing ourselves, we can also follow behind the three clans. They fight up front, and we clean up the battlefield in the rear!"

"..."
