Witch Clan's Thunderclouds, Shocking the Great Powers

Everyone knows that mortals cultivating to become Immortals have realms, divided into: Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Out of Body, Spirit Division, Body Integration, Void Gaze, Great Vehicle, and Undergoing Tribulation.

In Qi Cultivation, true qi is condensed within the body, allowing one to injure others with qi, or kill with a plucked leaf. Upon reaching Foundation Establishment, the Dao Foundation is achieved, which then allows for the tempering of the soul.

When the soul is tempered to a certain extent, it transforms into a Golden Core, stored in the Dantian. The Golden Core absorbs spiritual energy, and finally, like a phoenix reborn from ashes, it breaks free from its cocoon, condensing into an infant-like soul. This is the Nascent Soul!

Reaching the Nascent Soul realm requires Spirit Refinement, tempering the Nascent Soul. Ultimately, one will possess a portion of the primordial spirit's power, allowing for perception of all things within a certain range. This realm is also called Spirit Division!

After that comes Body Integration, where the Nascent Soul shatters, entering the physical body like starlight. At this point, there is no soul or Nascent Soul, only a single point of light in the core of the Dantian!

As the point of light transforms, it gradually moves towards the head, condensing at the brow. At this stage, it resembles an Eye of Insight, capable of observing all things, determining life and death, perceiving the subtlest details, and understanding principles. This is also called Void Gaze.

Then, the point of light gradually disperses, appearing like a clone in various acupoints throughout the physical body. At this stage, the body and spirit are cultivated together. Reaching this realm is also called Great Vehicle!

Once the body and spirit are sufficiently refined, one must undergo the lightning tribulation! The physical body must withstand the tempering of the lightning tribulation, and the point of light must undergo the tribulation's baptism, gradually transforming into a phantom human figure like a soul. This is the primordial spirit!

And now, Houtu already possesses a Nascent Soul, and it is rapidly transforming!

One must know that for mortals to cultivate and achieve Human Immortal status, they must overcome countless hardships. But Houtu is different; she was already a Daluo Golden Immortal, and is now merely condensing a Human Immortal-level primordial spirit.

A thousand years later, vast thunderclouds gathered above the Witch Clan's territory, terrifying everyone...

Damn it!! Someone in the Witch Clan is undergoing tribulation?? No, wait, the Witch Clan needs to undergo tribulation for body cultivation??

It's common knowledge in the Primordial World that the Witch Clan's body cultivation never requires tribulation, but now, ten thousand acres of thunderclouds are gathering above the Witch Clan's territory...

This is the tribulation for cultivating the primordial spirit, a lightning tribulation that purifies the primordial spirit only after reaching a certain realm. Has someone in the Witch Clan cultivated a primordial spirit??

In the Demon Court, within the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

"Your Majesty, the Witch Clan has gathered thunderclouds, seemingly indicating someone is cultivating a primordial spirit. What are your plans now?" Gui Che Zhan stepped forward, cupped his fists, and spoke to Di Jun, who sat on the throne in his imperial robe.

"Hmm... In the past thousand years, the Witch Clan has wantonly hunted and killed our demon subjects. Originally, Your Majesty had no intention of confronting the Witch Clan, focusing instead on gathering and protecting our demon subjects. Now that it appears someone in the Witch Clan has cultivated a primordial spirit, I hope Your Majesty will dispatch troops to investigate," Bai Ze stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said.

Di Jun nodded upon hearing this. Indeed, over the past thousand years, the Witch Clan had massacred many demons, consuming them. While it hadn't reached the point of irreconcilable conflict, there had been constant skirmishes.

After all, currently, the entire Witch Clan, except for Houtu, whether Ancestral Witches or common tribesmen, needed to eat, which was why they hunted demons.

"Ying Zhao, you will go and investigate. The Witch Clan occupies the Primordial World and ignores my summons; they indeed need a lesson!" Di Jun said calmly. The Witch Clan was a tough nut to crack. After all, they claimed to be the orthodox lineage of Pangu, on par with the Three Pure Ones. They respected neither Heaven nor Saints, only Pangu. Di Jun wished to unify the Primordial World and gather its Destiny, a path that could lead to becoming a Saint!

However, he was hesitant to move against the Witch Clan. Although the River Diagram and Luo Script were discovered in the Demon Court, and Taiyi was currently comprehending them, it was not suitable for a major war. Moreover, the Witch Clan's physical bodies were extremely powerful, and confronting them would yield no benefits.

"The Witch Clan can actually condense a primordial spirit?" On Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian looked towards the direction of the Witch Clan in surprise. It was known throughout the Primordial World that the Witch Clan could not cultivate primordial spirits, yet now this had been changed!

"It's Houtu! Now, her soul transforming into a primordial spirit only requires passing the lightning tribulation..." Yuanshi was also surprised. After a thousand years, he and Laozi had emerged from seclusion, and both were now Quasi-Saints who had severed two corpses. The Grand Pure One Laozi was even mid-stage in severing two corpses, standing shoulder to shoulder with Tongtian.

"This method is quite similar to the one my disciple created," Laozi also looked towards the Witch Clan's direction and noticed that Houtu's cultivation method was very similar to the technique Chen Tian had created.

"Eldest Brother... could it be that my disciple gave this method to her?" Tongtian's mouth twitched slightly. Foolish disciple, to casually give away such a Method of Becoming a Saint?

"Indeed. However, although Houtu is currently an Ancestral Witch, her origins are somewhat similar to my disciple's," Yuanshi nodded. Currently, Houtu's physique had been altered to be half-human, half-witch, in a state referred to as Witch-Human. She could indeed cultivate the Immortal Dao Body.

"We all know that the method created by my disciple is suitable for his origins to cultivate. However, for other beings to cultivate it, their physiques would be altered. But... if demons were to cultivate it, they would be immortal or crippled!" Laozi said, "Never mind, since it has some connection to my disciple, we don't need to pay it any mind."

"Eldest Brother is absolutely right." The two nodded in unison. However, the next moment, Tongtian looked towards Chen Tian's Dao Field and said, "My disciple is about to emerge from seclusion. I wonder if he has broken through to Grand Unity?"

"Third Brother, my disciple was only at mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal a few thousand years ago. Breaking through to Grand Unity is unlikely," Yuanshi said with a smile, stroking his beard. Although this disciple sometimes drove him to the brink of death, he also brought him immense pride! When he brought him out to talk with fellow Daoists, he could casually mention this wicked disciple's poor talent, causing the other party's face to twitch uncontrollably. Tsk, tsk... thinking about that scene is exhilarating!

"Hmm, let us discuss the Dao and await my disciple's emergence from seclusion," Laozi also smiled.

"Excellent!"

Because the Witch Clan gathered thunderclouds, all the great powers of the world turned their attention. This was the first time since the creation of the heavens!

The Heavenly Dao and Hongjun were naturally furious. Damn it! If you just cultivate properly, wouldn't that be enough? Why give the Witch Clan the method to cultivate a primordial spirit?

It was fortunate that the Heavenly Dao was not a person, otherwise, it would have definitely gone to Kunlun Mountain to beat Chen Tian up.

Hongjun, knowing the Heavenly Dao's thoughts, had his old face twitching wildly. Great one, you're going to Kunlun Mountain? That would throw the Primordial World into chaos, damn it!!

"Alas, this brat..." In the Purple Firmament Palace, Hongjun shook his head. The Witch Clan was not allowed to cultivate primordial spirits; it was also forbidden by the Heavenly Dao. He didn't want to create a few more Pangus. But now? Your superior's son has created it for you, what are you going to do?

What else could he do? Handle it according to official procedure. How strong was the lightning tribulation for a Human Immortal's primordial spirit undergoing tribulation? That thing would be like a tickle to a Daluo Golden Immortal, alright?

"The Witch Clan defies Heaven. Let the lightning tribulation be the Five Elements Divine Thunder," Hongjun sighed and said to the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao expressed, Giving it that weak?

Hongjun rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, what do you want to give? All-Heaven Divine Thunder or Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder??"

All-Heaven Divine Thunder was the strongest lightning tribulation in the Primordial World, and Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder was the strongest divine thunder in the Chaos. Using those two to strike the Witch Clan would likely lead to their annihilation...

Within the Witch Clan.

Houtu looked at the thunderclouds in the sky gradually turning into five colors. This was... the Five Elements Divine Thunder!!

"Crack...!"

In an instant! The tribulation descended!!!
