The few of them were left somewhat speechless after hearing him out.
After pondering for a moment, Xuan Ming furrowed her brow and said coldly, "You mean..."
"You want us to clean up the battlefield of the three clans and collect their corpses?"
To the Ancestral Witches, scavenging corpses like vultures was rather beneath their dignity, so naturally, they were somewhat unwilling.
But Wu Tian looked at them and retorted, "What's wrong with collecting corpses?"
"The corpses of the three clans are good stuff. Their essence blood can be poured into the Blood Pool to bolster its power. Their flesh can be used as food for our clansmen in the future, or refined into divine weapons..."
"Mm... there's one more thing."
"The battlefield is surely overflowing with Killing Intent. If we can clear that away as well, great merit will surely descend from Heaven and Earth!"
The Ancestral Witches still wanted to say something.
Yet Wu Tian's words choked them silent once more!
Wu Tian wore a face of righteous indignation as he spoke as though it were only natural, "We are Pangu's blood descendants!"
"This world Father God left behind must naturally be properly maintained. The battlefield left by the war of the three clans is steeped in vicious balefulness—shouldn't we deal with it?"
In maintaining Heaven and Earth, every Witch had a duty.
Even if Hongjun saw it, he would have nothing to say!
This time, no one had anything more to say. After pondering briefly, Dijiang said to Wu Tian, "Fine!"
"We'll listen to you once more..."
Then he rose and left with Zhu Jiuyin.
He needed to make preparations, inform the other Ancestral Witches, and join them in activating the Blood Pool to begin incubating the Witch Clan...
Xuan Ming and Hou Tu remained behind.
Hou Tu's gaze flickered.
Her thoughts were still immersed in Wu Tian's speculation. At last, she could not help asking him, "Do you truly believe the three clans will meet such an end?"
The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans were currently at the height of their glory. Even the ever-proud Ancestral Witches, who feared neither Heaven nor Earth, had no choice but to avoid their edge!
Yet Wu Tian had made such a judgment.
Naturally, it made Hou Tu curious.
Wu Tian said with a soft laugh, "Sister Hou Tu, just wait and see!"
"Not only will the three clans end in utter ruin, but they will ultimately withdraw from the Primordial Wilderness of their own accord. You'll know when the time comes..."
Hou Tu fell into thoughtful contemplation.
Then Wu Tian's eyes shifted, and he said with a smile, "Sister Hou Tu, if I'm right... could you two help me with a small favor?"
Wu Tian's gaze swept back and forth between Xuan Ming and Hou Tu before finally settling on Hou Tu!
Hou Tu smiled.
"Go on..."
"What do you want?"
"Even if you're wrong, I'll still thank you for helping me cultivate a Primal Spirit!"
Wu Tian hurriedly said, "Sister Hou Tu, you give me too much credit!"
"The main reason you were able to cultivate a Primal Spirit was that our elder brothers gave all their merit to you. Only with so much merit could the corrosion of Killing Intent be cut off..."
Hou Tu neither confirmed nor denied it.
But clearly, she believed Wu Tian's role in this had been crucial. If not for Wu Tian, who could have thought of such a thing?
Wu Tian continued with a smile, "The favor I want Sister to help me with rests on my prediction being correct. If my expectations are right, when the Primordial Dragon withdraws from the Primordial Wilderness, if you two have the chance, help me obtain some Essence Blood of the Primordial Dragon..."
The two women were startled upon hearing this.
Then their eyes met!
In the end, Hou Tu smiled and nodded:
"Alright!"
"If I get the chance, I'll definitely bring it back for you..."
Wu Tian's heart immediately filled with delight.
Can't find the book by searching its title? Try searching for the author instead—maybe it was just renamed!
When Dijiang had mentioned using the Blood Pool to incubate clan members, Wu Tian had realized a problem. He, too, was an Ancestral Witch, and the Witch Clan had shortcomings when it came to reproduction. He did not know whether he had the same problem...
"I didn't get married in my past life..."
"Don't tell me I'll still leave no descendants in this life?"
He still wanted to get to know a few more Innate Goddesses. Having come to the Primordial Wilderness in this life, he could not possibly waste such a wonderful opportunity for nothing, could he?
Naturally, he had to prepare in advance.
The Primordial Dragon had been formed from Great God Pangu's kidney essence. Aside from his own strength, he was incomparably formidable when it came to reproduction!
He was practically a breeding machine.
There was one thing Wu Tian did not quite approve of: the Primordial Dragon seemed to have no standards at all. It was said that among the Dragon's Nine Sons, Pu Lao's mother had actually been a toad...
Even a toad from the Primordial Wilderness was still unacceptable!
Wu Tian wondered whether, if he could refine the Essence Blood of the Primordial Dragon, it might make up for the flaws in an Ancestral Witch's body and avoid any possible problems.
He had even prepared an explanation.
If Xuan Ming and Hou Tu questioned him, he would say that he wanted to study the Essence Blood of the Primordial Dragon and see whether it could solve the Witch Clan's reproductive problems...
Yet the two of them did not ask at all!
They simply agreed just like that...
Afterward, the two rose and bid Wu Tian farewell. Xuan Ming, in particular, said calmly:
"Cultivate well here!"
"I'll keep coming to see you..."
After leaving behind those words, the two also departed Pangu Hall.
Wu Tian gave a wry smile and shook his head slightly. Then he sat beside the Blood Pool and resumed his cultivation...
By now, he had refined five drops of Ancestral Witch Essence Blood, belonging respectively to Hou Tu, Ru Shou, Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, and Ancestral Witch Jumang!
Although each drop of essence blood contained very little Power of Laws, after Wu Tian refined them and fused them together, they unexpectedly produced a wondrous reaction.
The five kinds of Power of Laws generated and restrained one another, in an endless cycle...
They continuously transformed the power within Wu Tian's body into Power of Laws, while upon his divine soul, the traces carved by the Laws gradually deepened!
"Which one should I refine next?"
Wu Tian pondered inwardly.
In the end, he still decided:
"Xuan Ming's essence blood!"
After refining Xuan Ming's essence blood, he would gain a deeper understanding of Xuan Ming's Laws. In the battles ahead, he would also suffer a little less...
Time passed quickly in cultivation.
The Ancestral Witches took Wu Tian's advice and acted like scavengers. Wherever the three clans fought, their figures would be there.
The moment a battle ended, they would rush in.
Collecting corpses, cleaning up, absorbing Killing Intent!
The entire process flowed in one smooth motion...
The originally ruined and chaotic battlefields would, after the Ancestral Witches passed through, have their Killing Intent dispelled and become good places once more for the living beings of the Primordial Wilderness to live and reproduce!
Naturally, merit would descend as well.
As usual, the Ancestral Witches all gave it to Hou Tu...
This left the three clans both enraged and utterly bewildered!
"What exactly are these people doing?"
"Where did they come from?"
"They're snatching the corpses of our clansmen, so how are they still getting merit..."
After learning of the Ancestral Witches' origins, the Primordial Dragon and the others could only smile helplessly!
Pangu's bloodline, cultivating themselves with the Killing Intent between heaven and earth—they were practically born in response to the times, natural cleaners of the Primordial Wilderness...
"Forget it..."
"These fellows aren't weak either! Dispelling Killing Intent is even recognized by heaven and earth. With powerful enemies before us for now, don't quibble with them! Tell our clansmen to stay alert—don't leave any corpses behind on the battlefield!"
Even Hongjun had taken notice of the Witch Clan.
The Heavenly Dao had yet to fully emerge, and Hongjun had not yet attained sainthood, so he could not calculate the Karma involved...
Yet for some reason.
He always felt that something was off!
