I Told You the Ancestral Witches Had Good Stuff!

"The rest of the tea is all here, Martial Aunt Nuwa. I still have plenty of tea to deliver, so I'll take my leave first!"

Shi Yu cupped his hands toward the three martial aunts. Then Tai Xu Shui Yun He shot into the sky and flew out beyond Mount Buzhou.

"Caw~"

Tai Xu Shui Yun He beat its wings and soared high. As it swept over the Wu Clan's territory, it discovered that the entire place was filled with a murderous atmosphere, as if they were prepared for war.

"Look, there's a member of the Demon Clan in the sky!"

"Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows! Hurry!"

In an instant, a flood of arrows that blotted out the sky shot upward from below toward Tai Xu Shui Yun He.

"Damn, why do I get attacked every time I come to the Wu Clan?"

The Taiji Dao Patterns on Tai Xu Shui Yun He's body burst into light. A black-and-white Taiji surrounded it.

"Whatever. Since I'm already here, I might as well give the Ancestral Witches some tea—and take a few things while I'm at it!"

It folded its wings and dove toward the Wu Clan's ancestral grounds. Protected by the Great Dao of Taiji, not even a feather could approach it.

"Caw~"

Accompanied by a crane's cry, the Twelve Ancestral Witches inside Pangu Temple were startled.

"This aura is..."

"He's here!"

Di Jiang rose to his feet. His figure flashed, and he vanished from the great hall. The next moment, he appeared in the clan's territory.

"Little Yu Zi, long time no see!"

Tai Xu Shui Yun He flashed with light, and Shi Yu stepped out of it. Smiling at Di Jiang, he said, "Ancestral Witch Di Jiang, it's been a long time. I've missed you terribly. I've brought some good tea this time."

Di Jiang laughed heartily and led Shi Yu toward the temple. The Wu Clan members surrounding Shi Yu slowly opened a path.

Along the way, despite having an Ancestral Witch accompanying him, the members of the Wu Clan still watched Shi Yu with wary expressions.

After entering the temple, the other Ancestral Witches also gathered around.

Zhu Jiuyin narrowed his eyes and said, "You little fellow, are you planning to play mahjong with us again? Our Wu Clan really has nothing left to give you!"

"Not at all, not at all. I truly came here just to deliver tea today. I'd just left Martial Aunt Nuwa's place, and since you're nearby, I came over to let everyone taste some Enlightenment Tea."

With that, Shi Yu waved his hand. Two jade boxes flew out of the Purple Gourd and floated before the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"Little Yu Zi, did you happen to see those two mangy birds, Di Jun and Tai Yi, on Mount Buzhou just now?" asked Zhu Rong, who had the worst temper.

Faced with the Twelve Ancestral Witches' successive questioning, Shi Yu had no choice but to tell them about Di Jun and Tai Yi dragging Kunpeng along to invite Fuxi and Nuwa to join the Demon Clan.

"Hmph!"

"Those two mangy birds really aren't up to anything good. They want to dominate the Primordial World, do they?"

Qiangliang, the Thunder Ancestor Witch, slammed his fist heavily against the wall. Fortunately, this was Pangu Temple, whose resistance level was extremely high.

"Now that Demon Clan those two mangy birds put together is wantonly slaughtering our Wu Clan Warriors across the Primordial World!" Shebishi said immediately afterward.

"This Primordial World was transformed from Father God Pangu. How could it be ruled by two mangy birds? Our Wu Clan will be the first to refuse!" Gonggong rose to his feet, glaring furiously.

Shi Yu finally understood why the Wu Clan was so tense. Had the Lich Calamity already begun to show signs of emerging?

"It's fine. Even if Di Jun and Tai Yi have such grand ambitions, the Primordial World is currently managed in name by East King Duke and West Queen Mother. If they want to unify the Primordial World, they'll have to get past East King Duke first."

Shi Yu waved his hand and took out another set of azure tea ware. He steeped the tea with Three Lights Divine Water and heated it with Samadhi True Fire, sending cup after cup of fragrant Enlightenment Tea before the Ancestral Witches.

"This tea is so bland. It doesn't taste like anything at all..."

"That's because you're an Old Ox chewing on peonies. You're wasting it!"

After drinking the tea, Houtu led Shi Yu around Pangu Temple. Only upon looking closely did he discover that the temple was carved with the magnificent scene of Pangu creating the world. The entire temple radiated an ancient and desolate aura.

"Martial Aunt Houtu~"

"Why is there such a dense stench of blood here, along with the sound of a heartbeat?"

Suddenly, Shi Yu heard a rapid and powerful heartbeat repeatedly echoing beside his ears.

Hearing this, Houtu's expression changed. She looked at Shi Yu in shock and said incredulously:

"How can you hear a heartbeat, Shi Yu?"

"Hm? Martial Aunt Houtu, what do you mean?"

Houtu patted Shi Yu on the shoulder, signaling him to continue following her, and entered the lowest level of the temple.

Shi Yu stared at the shocking scene before him and could not help widening his eyes.

That enormous heart was like a towering mountain. Every beat carried enough force to shake Heaven and Earth. Beneath it was a gigantic Blood Pool.

Light flickered within the Blood Pool. Vaguely, he could see figures of the Wu Clan being nurtured, struggling, and about to break free of their shells.

"This..."

"This is the origin of our Wu Clan—the Sacred Pool formed from Father God Pangu's heart. It is also the foundation of our strength."

Houtu's expression was solemn, her eyes filled with reverence and pride.

At that moment, the heartbeat grew increasingly rapid, and the light in the Blood Pool became even more dazzling.

Suddenly, a streak of blood-red light flashed. One Wu Clan member after another was born. They were tall and powerfully built, wildness and courage shining in their eyes. With a roar, they leaped out of the Blood Pool.

With a wave of Houtu's hand, the newborn Wu Clan members were transferred to suitable tribes.

The sight just now had left Shi Yu deeply shaken. He sensed an indescribable pressure.

At the same time, however, he was drawn toward an inexplicable power. He unconsciously took a step forward, only for Houtu to grab him.

"Shi Yu, the power of this Blood Pool isn't something you can touch. Even though you're on good terms with our Wu Clan, the dangers within are impossible to estimate." Houtu's expression was grave.

"Vmmm~~"

The Milky White Jade in Shi Yu's arms began to shine, catching his attention.

Shi Yu steadied himself, took the glowing Milky White Jade from his robes, and held it in his hand.

The jade now radiated a gentle, warm light. Its glow seemed to carry a certain rhythm, faintly resonating with the mysterious power deep within the Blood Pool.

"This jade has never shown such a reaction before. Why did it react beside the Blood Pool in Pangu Temple today?"

Shi Yu muttered to himself. When he first transformed, he had thought the jade looked completely ordinary and assumed it was a kidney stone.

"I knew it! How could an Innate Being have a kidney stone?"

Houtu also stepped forward, staring intently at the jade, her eyes filled with astonishment.

"I sense Father God's aura from it. Shi Yu, tell me—where did you obtain this jade?"

"Martial Aunt Houtu, this jade came with me when I was born!"

While the two were speaking, the jade's light suddenly flared. Then it broke free from Shi Yu's hand and flew into the Blood Pool.

A moment later, a hazy image slowly projected from the Blood Pool.

The image showed a chaotic world. It seemed that a giant was struggling within it, wielding an enormous axe. Every movement carried the force of World Creation.

As the image unfolded, the giant's face gradually became clear. It was identical to the statue within the temple.

It was Pangu!

Pangu's eyes revealed determination and resolve. He opened his mouth as if saying something, but no sound emerged.

Finally, Pangu seemed to notice Shi Yu and Houtu. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he extended two fingers toward them.

"Yeah?!"

Seeing the familiar gesture, Shi Yu's eyes widened in shock. His body trembled slightly, and he was utterly dumbfounded.

He never could have imagined that Great God Pangu had somehow sensed their presence—and had even made such a gesture...

The image then vanished. The temple suddenly began to shake violently, and the calm surface of the Blood Pool instantly became turbulent. This drew the attention of the other Ancestral Witches inside the temple.

"Shi Yu, why are you here?"

However, the situation was urgent, and the Ancestral Witches had no time to question why Shi Yu was there.

"Houtu, what exactly happened?"

"I just saw an image of Father God creating the world..." Houtu composed herself and slowly explained.

"What?"

At that moment, light burst from the center of the Blood Pool. A treasure radiating a mysterious aura slowly rose from within it.

It was long and straight, with Dao Patterns engraved along its shaft. One end was sharp, while the other was broad and thick, surrounded by violet qi.
