Houtu Becomes a Quasi-Saint, Following the Will of Heaven

Dijiang listened, and stopped the other Ancestral Witches. "Since my little sister says she's fine, then she's fine. But we still need to wait here. If something happens to her, it won't be too late for us to act then."

The Ancestral Witches nodded upon hearing this. They were the 'simpletons' described in many web novels, daring to defy even the Heavenly Dao. They had never feared anything. So, if Dijiang had said they should fight the Heavenly Dao, the Ancestral Witches would have acted without hesitation!

Afterward, the lightning tribulation was imminent!

Streaks of heavenly lightning struck Houtu, emitting bursts of white light. They were as dazzling as the sun in the night sky, illuminating the entire Ancestral Witch territory of the Witch Clan!

Great powers across the Primordial World observed Houtu with their divine senses. They discovered that while the lightning tribulation struck Houtu's body, causing her internal spiritual energy to become chaotic and even making her body bleed, these were minor injuries for a Grand Unity. They could be healed effortlessly!

Conversely, the patterns on Houtu's body became clearer and brighter. The white light seemed to emanate from these patterns!

"This... how is this possible?! What are those patterns on Houtu?"

"Those patterns seem like the Great Dao itself, impossible to decipher! Those patterns... absorbed nearly eighty to ninety percent of the lightning's power, which is why Houtu could withstand the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!!"

"Unbelievable! Simply unbelievable! If we could learn this method, would we ever fear lightning tribulations again?"

"Fellow Daoist, speak cautiously! We all know that while the Five Elements Divine Thunder's Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is powerful, it's not the strongest. If it were the All-Heaven Divine Thunder... even the Dao Ancestor couldn't withstand it."

"Indeed. However, this method can be learned! If we don't learn it ourselves, we can pass it down to our disciples in the future."

"Excellent!"

"But, Ancestral Witches are not to be trifled with. If we provoke an Ancestral Witch, we might be crippled even if we survive!"

"However, we just need to plan carefully."

Houtu was unaware that by simply undergoing her tribulation, she had attracted the attention of various great powers. But Houtu declared that she feared no one and would deal with anyone who came!

You ask why she's so formidable?

Hmph, this lightning tribulation not only cleansed Houtu's primordial spirit and condensed the inscribed Dao patterns but also allowed her to absorb the remaining ten percent of the lightning's power. She had already broken through to Quasi-Saint!

And she was a Quasi-Saint without having severed any corpses! The Immortal Dao Body didn't require severing corpses to break through to Quasi-Saint, so Houtu hadn't severed any!

Therefore, in the current Primordial World, besides the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the strongest were only the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Fuxi, along with a few others who had broken through to Quasi-Saint. Everyone else was merely a Grand Unity?

Moreover, if all twelve Ancestral Witches cultivated the Immortal Dao Body, possessed primordial spirits, and could break through to Quasi-Saint, twelve Quasi-Saints – wouldn't that make you tremble?

Soon, the lightning tribulation ended, the thunderclouds dispersed, and the patterns on Houtu's body vanished. She then descended beside the other Ancestral Witches.

"Brothers, Sister Xuanming, I have successfully passed the tribulation," Houtu said with a smile, looking at Dijiang and the others.

"Little sister, you... you have a primordial spirit now?" Xuanming looked at Houtu. Although she knew long ago that the Immortal Dao Body could condense a primordial spirit, she was still shocked at this moment.

"More than that. Little sister's aura is immense; she has already broken through, hasn't she?" Zhurong also said in shock. Breaking through just by undergoing a tribulation? What kind of tribulation was so easy to undergo? I, Zhurong, will go too!

"That's right, everyone. I am now a Quasi-Saint," Houtu nodded and smiled. "Furthermore, this method can indeed condense a primordial spirit; it's another cultivation system!"

In the current Primordial World, there were no beings below the Immortal realm. Any form transformation resulted in a Heavenly Immortal or higher. Thus, it was normal for Houtu to say this was another cultivation system.

"Although Daoist Tian Chen's cultivation is low, he is indeed remarkable to have comprehended a method for cultivating a primordial spirit through another system," Dijiang said. He then solemnly addressed the other Ancestral Witches, "Brothers and sisters, Fellow Daoist Tian Chen is a benefactor to our Witch Clan. From now on, warn our clansmen to treat Tian Chen as they would an Ancestral Witch!"

"Yes, brother, rest assured," the Ancestral Witches nodded.

Indeed, the Witch Clan lacked primordial spirits, making them seem foolish. Now that Tian Chen had given them the method to condense primordial spirits, it was like a rebirth for the Witch Clan!

"By the way, little sister, you promised Fellow Daoist Tian Chen spiritual treasures before. Do you know when he will come to collect them?" Zhu Jiuyin suddenly asked.

"I don't know," Houtu shook her head. "Fellow Daoist Tian Chen didn't say when he would come to collect the spiritual treasures."

"It doesn't matter; they are just some spiritual treasures. When Fellow Daoist Tian Chen arrives, he can have them. If he doesn't come, we will personally bring the spiritual treasures to Kunlun Mountain. For now, everyone, go cultivate," Dijiang said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Chen Tian was unaware that a large batch of spiritual treasures was heading his way...

However, this fellow had just received his reward!

"System, open my status interface," Chen Tian said, opening his eyes.

"Why am I still only mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal? Logically, with so many Great Daos, even Heavenly Dao level ones, I should have broken through..." Chen Tian was confused.

However, the System soon provided an explanation.

Ding-- Myriad Worlds System: Because the Great Dao can only be comprehended by a Daluo Golden Immortal, and the host is merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal. If the host breaks through to Daluo, they can achieve Sainthood in one fell swoop, condense magical power, and condense the Great Dao.

"So that's how it is," Chen Tian nodded. These Great Daos could only be comprehended by Grand Unity Golden Immortals. If Chen Tian were a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he could have achieved sainthood easily with so many Great Daos, completely without needing the Primordial Violet Qi!

One must know that Grand Unity Golden Immortal was already the peak of the immortal realm, and to break through to the Saint realm, one had to comprehend the Great Dao!

"Alright, it's time to go see those three old fogeys. After all, they haven't moved for so many years," Chen Tian chuckled, then got up and headed to the Hall of the Three Pure Ones.

"Third Brother, why would those scaled and armored, wet-feathered creatures who don't understand the Heavenly Dao be taught the Great Dao? You should have followed the Heavenly Dao and passed it down to those with deep origins, not those scaled and armored beings! Therefore, your actions, Third Brother, are excessive..."

"Second Brother, your words are flawed. As the saying goes, the Heavenly Dao has forty-nine principles, with one escaping. That one is a sliver of life, the life of all beings. My Dao precisely follows the Heavenly Dao, follows the Mandate of Heaven. How are my actions excessive?"

"Hmph, those scaled and armored beings are not worthy of hearing our Great Dao!"

Before even entering the Hall of the Three Pure Ones, Chen Tian heard a heated argument. Well, it was just like web novels, two different doctrines!

One was to follow the Mandate of Heaven and pass down the Great Dao to those with deep origins, while the other was to strive for a sliver of life and pass down the Great Dao to all beings. And Laozi? Naturally, he watched leisurely, which was also the so-called "doing what one should do and not doing what one shouldn't do," knowing when to act and when not to.
