Tongtian's Forbearance and Compromise
Although Cihang severed her connection with the human race, she was not entirely indifferent to them.
This time, he was not only helping Houtu, but also adding strength and depth to the human race.
Although the human race is not the main protagonist of this calamity, how can they truly remain uninvolved under the endless influence of the Calamity Qi?
Now, with the protection of the Witch Race and the Twelve Ancestor Witches statues, they have an extra guarantee of survival.
On the other side, after Houtu farewell to Cihang, Houtu quickly found Jiu Feng and handed over many divine statues to Jiu Feng.
The Ancestral Witch are the faith of all the Witch Race, so Jiu Feng didn't ask any further questions and immediately made the arrangements.
Unlike the demon race, the Witch Race and the human race had a very close relationship in ancient times.
Now they have even integrated into the human race.
At the beginning of the Great Calamity, all the Witch Race had already merged into the human race, becoming various tribes.
The human race also showed a high degree of acceptance towards the Witch Race.
While receiving protection, they also held the powerful members of the Witch Race in high esteem.
Nowadays, it's just about worshipping the Ancestral Witch statue, so naturally no one refuses.
Faced with this great calamity, these humans were extremely sincere in their worship.
With the convergence of boundless faith, the Twelve Ancestor Witches statues also became the guardian deities of the human tribe's cities.
The sudden move by the Witch Race naturally caught the attention of many cultivators.
However, they didn't pay any attention to it, assuming that they were simply unable to let go of the Witch Race's beliefs.
At most, it won't be used to gather faith.
After all, all cultivators know that the Witch Race does not cultivate the primordial spirit, and once they perish, they have no chance of reincarnation.
No one believed that the Witch Race still had any hope of resurrection.
Moreover, now that the Witch Race has joined the Human Clan, this is an internal matter for the Human Clan, and they have no right to stop it.
Even Nuwa did not object.
It is true that the lich and the demon are sworn enemies, but after the Witch Race joined the human race, a great deal of fortune also gathered around her.
Even for the sake of this fortune, she wouldn't target the Witch Race.
Moreover, the assistance provided to the human race this time was not limited to the Witch Race, but also included many other forces.
After all, everyone knows that the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, and protecting the human race at this time will naturally bring good fortune and merit.
Therefore, despite being in the midst of a great calamity, the human race has maintained a relatively stable situation.
In territories untouched by humankind, the battles in the Primordial World grew ever more intense.
What began as a probing exchange between low-level cultivators has now escalated into a life-or-death battle involving numerous factions.
Every moment, countless forces are destroyed by the great calamity, and the number of cultivators who perish is even more countless.
But only one in a billion can actually make it onto the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods.
Most cultivators suffered the loss of their souls and spirits, their cultivation and spiritual power returning to the Primordial World.
In the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods over the South China Sea, the struggle between Mount Luojia and the Chan Sect is becoming increasingly fierce.
Although neither side retreated an inch, many disciples and followers perished.
Within the Chan Sect, aside from the true disciples, all had already made their move, and the aura of slaughter permeated the entire battlefield.
Even with the intention of the sages to limit it, the scale of the great calamity was gradually getting out of control.
Both the danger and the extent of its impact far surpass the original Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods.
After failing to gain the Jieyin and Zhunti decided to abandon their restraint and began sending their disciples to attack the East Victory Divine Continent.
In the struggle against the Sanqing, the West was indeed always at a disadvantage, but that was when it faced the combined suppression of the Sanqing.
If faced with the power of a single religion, the West is actually not weak.
As for those independent cultivators, they are even less comparable to those in the West.
As soon as the West launched its full-scale offensive, it plundered the East's fortune and resources at an extremely rapid pace.
Meanwhile, the Interception Sect, which should have been the main force resisting the West, still had not made any response.
Although Taiqing dispatched Xuandu in time, he felt helpless when facing the West.
Seeing the Interception Sect still with its gates tightly shut, Taiqing and Yuanshi could no longer tolerate it.
The two arrived at Golden Ao Island in the East China Sea at the same time. Yuanshi didn't hold back and raised the Pangu Banner to attack the mountain-protecting formation.
"Boom..."
Although Yuanshi's attack failed to break through the mountain-protecting formation, the entire Golden Ao Island trembled, alarming all the cultivators on the island.
When the disciples saw Taiqing and Yuanshi with their unfriendly expressions, they all looked puzzled and frightened.
"Tongtian, how long are you going to stay in seclusion?"
At this moment, the voice of the Yuanshi also entered Biyou Palace.
"What is Senior Brother doing? Are you planning to attack my Golden Ao Island?"
Tongtian broke through the barrier and emerged, his expression extremely unfriendly as he looked at Yuanshi.
He was just one step away from success when he was interrupted by Yuanshi.
"What am I supposed to do? Do you even remember what time it is?"
"Jieyin and Zhunti have already invaded East Victory Divine Continent, and you still remain indifferent."
Tongtian's attitude once again enraged Yuanshi.
"Of course I know that, it's just that the time isn't right yet!"
Tongtian's expression softened somewhat, clearly indicating that he was aware of the current situation in the East Victory Divine Continent.
"The time isn't right yet? Do you intend to wait until our foundations are shaken before making your move?"
Yuanshi's words were full of sarcasm.
"Tongtian, you've really gone too far this time!"
Taiqing couldn't help but reprimand him.
"Very well, brothers, please return now!"
I will open the mountain gates now and send my disciples into the calamity, ensuring that the West suffers a crushing defeat!
After a moment of silence, Tongtian finally compromised.
"Okay, then we'll wait for your good news!"
Having received a satisfactory answer, Taiqing and Yuanshi stopped arguing.
"Do you really not understand the predicament of my Interception Sect?"
Watching Taiqing and Yuanshi's departing figures, Tongtian's eyes revealed disappointment.
The Interception Sect does not possess any treasures to suppress the calamity; this is something all the sages know.
They also knew that if their fortunes were unstable, the Interception Sect would find it difficult to protect itself during the great calamity.
Ordinary cultivators might not be able to sense changes in fortune, but saints are definitely not among them.
Even though Taiqing and Yuanshi clearly sensed the changes in the Interception Sect, they still interrupted him, their intentions being quite obvious.
Tongtian had always known that Taiqing and Yuanshi were still wary of his Interception Sect.
I still didn't expect them to go this far.
For the sake of the friendship among the Sanqing, he chose to back down.
However, the already strong family bond has once again developed a huge rift.
"Even in such a disadvantageous position, I, Tongtian, can still seize a glimmer of hope."
This is the very essence of our Interception Sect's way: to create opportunities from the impossible and to find life in the face of death!
With a thought, Tongtian opened the long-sealed mountain-protecting formation.
At the same time, the Calamity Fiend Qi that had been kept out also rushed towards us.
"Go, face the tribulations and opportunities that are yours!"
Immediately afterwards, all the immortals of the Interception Sect emerged together, manifesting various colored lights, and headed straight for the west.
Although the Interception Sect kept its mountain gates tightly closed, they were not entirely unaware of the situation outside.
They had been eagerly anticipating this battle for a long time.
