Primordial Era: Becoming Laozi's Disciple, I Refine the Mythical Golden Elixir

"And that group of Witch Clan, their entire bodies are filled with strangeness."

"Losing is losing, so many excuses. I told you long ago, you're no match for Kuafu!"

A deep, rough voice echoed through the great hall, causing Gui Che to glare angrily.

Ci Tie, unwilling to be outdone, glared back, "What, you disagree?"

Watching the two bicker, Di Jun let out a cold snort.

Gui Che and Ci Tie shivered, immediately falling silent.

Tai Yi, seeing the tense atmosphere, tried to smooth things over, saying, "Big Brother, why don't we hear what Gui Che has to say?"

"After all, the Witch Clan was formed from the bloodline of the great god Pangu. Perhaps something unexpected happened."

Di Jun calmed down a bit upon hearing this and looked at Gui Che, saying, "Tell me specifically, what happened."

Gui Che quickly replied, "Lord Di Jun, it's like this. During the recent great battle, I discovered..."

Then, Gui Che recounted everything he had seen and heard.

Finally, Gui Che hesitated, "I don't know why, but I feel the current Witch Clan is a few points stronger than they were five hundred years ago."

"Do you think I don't know the Witch Clan's capabilities?"

"How slow is the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique? Five hundred years, how much stronger can they get?"

Di Jun narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

He felt Gui Che was simply making excuses for his crushing defeat.

Gui Che's back was already soaked in cold sweat as he cried out, "Lord Di Jun, every word my subordinate speaks is the truth!"

Seeing Gui Che still trying to argue, Di Jun's expression grew colder.

Just as he was about to punish Gui Che, Bai Ze stepped forward.

"Lord Di Jun, during the great battle, I was also paying attention. What Gui Che said should be true."

Di Jun's eyes slightly narrowed upon hearing this, "Oh? Are you telling the truth?"

Within the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Tai Yi valued Bai Ze the most.

Among the Ten Great Demon Marshals, Bai Ze possessed the deepest wisdom, equivalent to their strategist.

Therefore, when even Bai Ze said so, Di Jun had to take it seriously.

Gui Che, seeing Di Jun hesitate, gave Bai Ze a grateful look.

After a moment of thought, Di Jun glanced at Gui Che.

"Since Bai Ze is speaking for you, let's see. If what you said is false, hmph!"

Despite Bai Ze's vouching, Di Jun was still somewhat skeptical about the Witch Clan becoming stronger.

"Thank you, Lord Di Jun!" Gui Che exclaimed with joy.

Di Jun let out a soft snort, and two diagrams immediately appeared above his head.

A companion spiritual treasure, a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The River Diagram and Luo Script!

As the River Diagram and Luo Script appeared, the great hall instantly displayed the scene of the previous great battle.

At first, everyone watched with suspicion, pointing and commenting on Gui Che in the illusion.

As time went on, everyone's expressions slowly became solemn.

"The physical bodies of the Witch Clan have truly reached such a formidable level?"

Ci Tie was somewhat astonished.

Gui Che, meanwhile, clenched his fists.

The illusion currently displayed the scene of him being beaten down by Kuafu.

However, no one was paying attention to the fight between the two; their focus was entirely on the Witch and Demon forces below.

Especially Xuan Si, who was surrounded by the Witch Clan.

"What cunning Witch Clan," Ci Tie gritted his teeth.

Everyone could see that the Witch Clan member who had surrounded Xuan Si was at the early Golden Immortal stage, just like Xuan Si.

"Hmph, they're just a bunch of barbarians, what do they know."

"The key is, this rhinoceros demon can't break through the physical body of a Witch Clan member of the same cultivation level."

"If you were a Golden Immortal, would you be confident in resisting this divine ability head-on?"

Di Jun's words immediately plunged everyone into silence.

Everyone's faces looked a little grim.

Tai Yi said in a deep voice, "How exactly did the Witch Clan train their physical bodies?"

Even the dignified Eastern Emperor felt significant pressure at this moment.

There was even a hint of... envy.

Gui Che spoke, "When I fought Kuafu, I couldn't break through his physical body either."

"This situation was common on the battlefield before."

As he spoke, Gui Che glanced at Ci Tie.

You can do it, can't you?

How would you handle this situation?

Everyone's heart was filled with shock at this moment, and Ci Tie was no exception.

At first, the words didn't seem like much, but the more they thought about it, the more they were alarmed.

The Witch Clan had displayed such formidable strength in this great battle.

Then what about the other members of the Witch Clan? What about the Ancestor Witches?

Ying Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "I received news earlier that the Human Race began refining elixirs for the Witch Clan five hundred years ago. Could this be related?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly looked at Ying Zhao, their eyes filled with shock. Chapter 20: The Human Race Worships Nuwa

"Is it that race created by Empress Wa?"

Bai Ze was the first to recall the Human Race.

At Bai Ze's reminder, everyone else also reacted, their eyes filled with even greater shock.

Ci Tie exclaimed, "Ying Zhao, could you be mistaken?"

"The Human Race is weak, they're just a small tribe. They can refine elixirs?"

When it came to elixirs, the first thought in their minds was of powerful figures like Laozi and Zhen Yuanzi.

And now they were saying it was the Human Race?

Wasn't this contrast a bit too great?!

"Ying Zhao, are you sure it's the Human Race?" Bai Ze looked at Ying Zhao, his feather fan unconsciously fanning faster.

There was one more thing they hadn't mentioned.

That was that the Human Race were merely 'blood food' in the mouths of other demons.

Because Nuwa was one of the Four Demon Emperors, this matter was a widely known secret in the Heavenly Court.

Ying Zhao seemed to see Bai Ze's thoughts, but he still nodded affirmatively.

"Do you still remember Dang Hu?"

Bai Ze pondered for a moment and said, "The guardian under your command?"

Everyone's eyes moved slightly.

Dang Hu was a great demon, so everyone had some impression of him.

He was also the closest to Shouyang Mountain among all the great demons in the Heavenly Court.

Ying Zhao nodded, "That's right, it's him."

"I learned about the Human Race refining elixirs from his tribesmen."

"Back then, they followed Dang Hu to Shouyang Mountain and saw with their own eyes that the Human Race had alchemists."

Ci Tie moved closer to Ying Zhao and said in a deep voice, "What about Dang Hu?"

Ying Zhao's voice turned slightly cold, "He was killed after going to Shouyang Mountain."

"The one who killed him was Hou Yi."

Di Jun looked at Ying Zhao and frowned, "Why didn't you tell me something so important?"

Ying Zhao said apologetically, "Lord Di Jun, at first, I secretly sent people to Shouyang Mountain, but they were always intercepted by the Witch Clan halfway."

"Later, as the conflict between our Heavenly Court and the Witch Clan intensified, I didn't pay much attention to this matter..."

As he spoke, Ying Zhao unconsciously lowered his head.

"Even if the Human Race truly has alchemists, so what? Can it be accomplished by just one Human Race that they could allow the Witch Clan to cultivate their physical bodies to such an extent in just five hundred years?"

Ci Tie was somewhat dismissive.

Although they were unwilling to admit it, the Witch Clan's innate foundation was something their Demon Race couldn't compare to.

They were even more powerful than the Human Race.

Moreover, the Witch Clan had tens of millions more members than the Human Race.

Just thinking about it felt like something out of a fairy tale.

Di Jun snorted coldly, "Whether it's them or not, we'll know when we look."
