Fortunately, the Ancestral Witches were no fools.

Though hot-tempered, they knew this was not the time to charge ahead blindly. The three races had all grown quite disgusted with them, and minor frictions were inevitable...

But no true war had broken out!

Because the Ancestral Witches had something more important to do:

They had to hurry and develop their people.

As countless corpses were tossed into the Blood Pool, its power was greatly replenished. Under the Ancestral Witches' urging, Witch Clan members continuously emerged from the Blood Pool!

At this critical moment, Wu Tian naturally would not miss out. Yet as he watched his clansmen crawl out of the Blood Pool one after another, he could not shake a strange illusion:

Why did this feel so sci-fi?

Among the earliest Witch Clan members were several figures Wu Tian knew well, such as Chi You, Xing Tian, Kua Fu, Hou Yi, and the others...

They were the Witch Clan's backbone.

Great Witches of formidable strength!

Only these Great Witches knew Wu Tian's identity. They knew that the figure always cultivating beside the Blood Pool was their thirteenth Ancestral Witch...

"Wu Tian..."

"We plan to divide the clansmen according to the laws they each possess and guide them in cultivation separately. That will also benefit their growth!"

"What do you think?"

Once the Witch Clan had grown in number, the Ancestral Witches sought out Wu Tian.

Dijiang even said with a smile, "We've discussed it as well. In the end, you can bear all of our laws, so you needn't restrict yourself to any particular law among these clansmen. Pick whichever ones you want!"

Wu Tian thought for a moment.

But he still shook his head and declined!

"Forget it..."

"I won't need any. Even if I refine all twelve laws, they will only serve as a spark. I'll still need a long time to accumulate strength!"

What fun was there in leading a whole bunch of Witch Clan members?

Those guys raised a ruckus all day long!

Their energy was boundless.

He did not want to waste his brainpower on that!

How could that compare to tightly clutching Sister Hou Tu's thigh? Big sister was still the sweetest...

With that thought, Wu Tian looked directly at Hou Tu.

"Sister Hou Tu!"

"How about I join up with you?"

The Ancestral Witches froze for a moment.

Then they instantly let out excited howls. They had traveled outside for so long and seen increasingly more of the world. Though the Ancestral Witches had no interest in matters between men and women, it was not as if they knew nothing about them...

The Primordial Dragon was practically a living textbook!

Zhurong suddenly looked back and forth between the two, thinking excitedly to himself, "Oh my!"

"No wonder Sister Hou Tu gave him her essence blood without a second word, and Brother Wu Tian is always helping Sister Hou Tu, telling us to give all the merit to her..."

"So they've got their eyes on each other!"

Then he slapped his forehead.

Looking as though he regretted it too late, he said to Dijiang, "Big Brother, we should let Brother Wu Tian and Sister Hou Tu get together. Maybe they can breed more clansmen for our Witch Clan?"

Wu Tian thought, You think I'm the Primordial Dragon?

If the two of us had to produce them ourselves, how long would it take before we had enough clansmen? Besides, the Witch Clan's reproductive ability is lacking—we simply can't do that!

Before he could speak, he suddenly saw Zhurong fly out!

Bang!

He was plastered directly against the wall of Pangu Hall, slowly sliding down...

Hou Tu wore a look of embarrassed fury.

She had actually revealed her brutal side as well!

That would have been one thing...

But why had Xuan Ming joined in too?

Then, as the two women swept their gazes around toward the other Ancestral Witches, even Dijiang had to hold back his laughter and refrain from saying anything more.

Wu Tian immediately grew a little nervous.

It was one thing for you to beat up Zhu Rong—he was thick-skinned and tough, so a few beatings would not hurt him; surely you were not going to beat me up too?

Fortunately, Hou Tu quickly regained her gentle demeanor. She nodded at Wu Tian and said with a smile:

"Alright!"

"From now on, we'll oversee the Houtu Tribe together..."

The Witch Clan had not yet officially been established.

Wu Tian kept this matter in mind, but he did not bring it up. For one thing, the Witch Clan did not yet have enough members; for another, the war between the three clans had not ended. If they announced it to Heaven and Earth and established the Witch Clan now, they would be drawing far too much attention!

For all he knew, they might become enemies of the three clans...

He planned to discuss it with Dijiang after Zixiao Palace's first sermon. For now, they only needed to develop quietly.

Over the following period of time, the time Wu Tian needed to refine each drop of essence blood grew longer and longer. Fortunately, cultivation knew no passage of years. Immersed in cultivation, he seemed unable to feel time flowing by...

By the time Wu Tian had refined ten drops of essence blood, only the essence blood of Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin remained. The two were respectively the Space Ancestral Witch and the Time Ancestral Witch, the strongest among the twelve Ancestral Witches!

Their laws were also the most difficult.

Just then, the Ancestral Witches roused Wu Tian from his long cultivation. Before he could collect his wits, Ancestral Witch Dijiang spoke in immense delight:

"Wu Tian, you were right!"

"The three clans have made oaths to Heaven and Earth and voluntarily withdrawn from the Primordial World..."

Wu Tian was immediately startled.

So soon?

At that moment, Hou Tu approached with a smile and opened her palm. Three drops of Essence Blood of the Primordial Dragon lay upon it as she said with a smile:

"The Essence Blood of the Primordial Dragon you wanted!"

There was wonder in Hou Tu's eyes as well.

But when she thought of how they had obtained the Essence Blood of the Primordial Dragon, Hou Tu felt a little embarrassed. She shot Wu Tian an annoyed glare!

The Primordial Dragon had made his oath with righteous solemnity and boundless grief, while she and Xuan Ming had hidden off to the side, simply waiting for him to cast off his body so they could extract its essence blood...

Like vultures waiting for a corpse.

Wu Tian hurriedly accepted the Essence Blood of the Primordial Dragon and thanked Hou Tu with a chuckle.

Then Dijiang impatiently asked again:

"Wu Tian, just how did you see it coming?"

When Wu Tian had said it, the three clans had still been blazing like the midday sun!

Dijiang had not quite believed him at the time. Yet today, it had come true...

Wu Tian smiled as well. Naturally, he had been so certain because he knew how the original great tide of fate would unfold, but he could not say that.

So he tapped his head and said with a smile:

"Of course I deduced it with my brain!"

Seeing that the Ancestral Witches still did not believe him, Wu Tian jokingly said:

"Brothers, do you think there might be a possibility that the reason I wasn't born with control over a law... is because I control the Law of Wisdom? All the power that gestated me went into growing my brain?"

"So..."

"I should be the Wise Ancestral Witch!"

A mutter rose from among the Ancestral Witches:

"Really?"

"Is there really a Law of Wisdom?"

Dijiang was instantly speechless. Turning around, he slapped the Ancestral Witch who had spoken and said somewhat irritably:

"He's talking nonsense!"

"What Wise Ancestral Witch..."

Hmph, within the Witch Clan, I, the eldest brother, am definitely the wisest. If there really were a Wise Ancestral Witch, it should be me!

But not long after.

Just as Wu Tian was about to refine the Ancestral Witch Essence Blood of Ancestral Witch Dijiang and comprehend the Law of Space within it, he was suddenly interrupted by Dijiang and the others.

When he awoke from cultivation.

Dijiang said gloomily:

"Wu Tian, you got it right again!"

"Hongjun won..."

Wu Tian immediately laughed.

"Believe me now?"

Dijiang nodded fiercely. Once or twice could be dismissed, but if every major event was predicted by Wu Tian, his little brother, then it could only mean one thing:

Wu Tian truly saw the greater tide clearly.

And possessed great wisdom in his heart!

After a moment of silence, Dijiang said directly:

"I believe you!"

"Now I'm even starting to wonder whether you really are the Wise Ancestral Witch..."
