They had initially thought the two sisters were fighting Fuxi and Nuwa, but it turned out they were attacking an Innate Gourd Vine.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Bai Chen hurriedly called out to Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches:

"Ancestral Witch Dijiang, this Innate Gourd Vine is a Chaos Demon God whom Great God Pangu failed to kill completely back then. Now he wants to wreak havoc upon the Primordial World again and is trying to harm Xuanming and Houtu."

"Hurry up and kill him!"

To get the other Ancestral Witches to act, Bai Chen immediately started making things up.

As for the specific charge, that was unimportant. What mattered was killing the other side.

Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches did not hesitate. They immediately attacked the Innate Gourd Vine—not because they particularly believed Bai Chen's words.

Rather, Xuanming and Houtu were fighting the Innate Gourd Vine, and the matter was already right before their eyes.

Whatever the truth was, it no longer mattered.

What mattered was that the Innate Gourd Vine had dared to fight Xuanming and Houtu. That alone was enough to make him deserve death.

The Innate Gourd Vine watched as Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches joined the battlefield. Inside, he let out ten thousand curses!

He felt so wronged!

He had not attacked first. Bai Chen had brought Xuanming and Houtu over to cause trouble.

Could they really expect him to wait for death without fighting back?

"Xuanming, mighty!"

"Houtu, mighty!"

All twelve Ancestral Witches had joined the battle. Bai Chen felt that they should not be lacking one more person, so he withdrew from the battlefield and sat to one side eating fruit and cheering on Xuanming and Houtu.

As for cheering on Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches?

Sorry, Great God Bai Chen was not familiar with them and could not be bothered to waste his breath cheering them on.

Under the fierce battle against the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Innate Gourd Vine gradually fell into a disadvantage as time passed.

At this moment, he had already seen the shadow of Great God Pangu in the Twelve Ancestral Witches. He was genuinely frightened.

"Fellow Daoists, please stop fighting."

"Although I am a Chaos Demon God, I have also contributed to the Primordial World."

No matter how loudly the Innate Gourd Vine shouted, the Twelve Ancestral Witches showed no sign of stopping.

The Innate Gourd Vine was so furious that he ground his teeth.

This stubborn bunch was practically identical to Pangu.

During the Heaven-Opening Tribulation back then, who knew how many Chaos Demon Gods had already begged Pangu for mercy?

But Pangu had refused to let any of them go. He had insisted on striking them with his axe, beating them back into their original forms.

Facing the Twelve Ancestral Witches' relentless advance, the Innate Gourd Vine was filled with hatred!

If he had not failed to take human form and been rooted in Buzhou Mountain, he would have fled long ago.

The Innate Gourd Vine knew that there was no hope of negotiating peace with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, so he turned his gaze toward Bai Chen, who was eating fruit and watching the show nearby:

"Fellow Daoist, please make them stop."

The Innate Gourd Vine knew very well that this entire disaster had been caused by this Fat Cat. If he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to seek out this Fat Cat.

"Great God Bai Chen is not familiar with them."

Faced with the Innate Gourd Vine's plea for mercy, Bai Chen chose to refuse.

What a joke. Great God Bai Chen had given the other party a chance from the very beginning, but the other party had failed to appreciate it.

Now that he could not win and wanted to beg for mercy, how could it be that easy?

"Fellow Daoist, you and I have no grudge against each other. There is no need to continue offending one another."

Seeing Bai Chen pretend to be clueless, the Innate Gourd Vine could only suppress his anger and patiently persuade him.

"Innate Gourd Vine, if you are willing to swear a great oath and follow Great God Bai Chen, Great God Bai Chen can say something to Xuanming and Houtu."

Bai Chen felt that he was still being merciful. He decided to spare the Innate Gourd Vine and give him a chance at survival.

Well, the main reason was that Bai Chen felt it would be too wasteful to kill the Innate Gourd Vine now.

The Innate Gourd Vine's seven gourds had yet to grow. They were still seven flowers.

Those would become seven Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Killing the Innate Gourd Vine now meant losing seven Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

It would also be fine to kill him after his gourds had matured!

"Fellow Daoist, if I leave this place, I will sever my own roots and cut off my chance to attain the Dao!"

The Innate Gourd Vine appeared to be begging Bai Chen for mercy, but inwardly he was furious!

He had been rooted here for countless ages, quietly absorbing the power of Buzhou Mountain through his roots. That was how he had achieved his current cultivation.

If he left now and severed his roots, he would be cutting off his chance to attain the Dao.

Bai Chen let out a cold laugh and barked impatiently:

"Your chance to attain the Dao has anything to do with Great God Bai Chen!"

It was not that Bai Chen looked down on the Innate Gourd Vine. With the way he looked, he still dreamed of attaining the Dao? He might as well keep dreaming!

No, he could not even be considered birdlike.

"Fellow Daoist, if you make them stop, how about I give you a great opportunity?"

The Innate Gourd Vine knew that if he did not bleed a little today, there would be no way to settle this matter.

Helpless, he could only pay the price to protect himself.

Chapter 15: Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi!

Upon hearing that it involved an opportunity, Bai Chen grew interested:

"What opportunity? Tell me first."

Seeing that Bai Chen had not agreed immediately but was already tempted, the Innate Gourd Vine knew this was a good start.

"Fellow Daoist, I know the whereabouts of a spiritual treasure. I can tell you."

The opportunity mentioned by the Innate Gourd Vine was a tremendously powerful spiritual treasure.

"What spiritual treasure?"

Upon hearing that it was a spiritual treasure, Bai Chen became even more interested. After all, given the Innate Gourd Vine's status, he would certainly not care for ordinary spiritual treasures.

A spiritual treasure that the other party considered a great opportunity had to be extraordinary.

"This item is the first Houtian Spiritual Treasure in the Primordial World!"

The Innate Gourd Vine did not reveal the spiritual treasure's identity directly. Instead, he kept Bai Chen in suspense to whet his appetite.

"Could it be Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi?"

Bai Chen suddenly shuddered and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to ask.

The first Houtian Spiritual Treasure in the Primordial World was actually not one item, but two: Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

These two spiritual treasures, one offensive and one defensive, had appeared at the same time. Both were the first Houtian Spiritual Treasures in the Primordial World and were supreme treasures among Houtian Spiritual Treasures.

Bai Chen was rather interested in the whereabouts of Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi.

As for the other one, Bai Chen was not interested.

That was because he knew the whereabouts of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. It was in Kunlun Mountain's Kunlun Ruins and was the Three Pure Ones' companion spiritual treasure!

"That is correct!"

When the Innate Gourd Vine admitted it, he immediately added:

"After Pangu opened the heavens, the Great Dao combined the first strand of Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi born in the Primordial World with Heaven-Opening Merit, transforming them into two Houtian Supreme Treasures. As it happens, I know the whereabouts of Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi."

When the Innate Gourd Vine said this, he felt somewhat puzzled. How did Bai Chen know about Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi?

According to the time when Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi had appeared, this Fat Cat should still have been an Innate Origin cocoon.

"As long as you make them stop, I will tell you the whereabouts of Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi."

The Innate Gourd Vine had originally planned to wait until he attained the Dao before retrieving the supreme treasure Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi.

But now, in order to save his life, he had no choice but to sacrifice Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi.

Of course, he had his own little schemes as well. Since he had yet to attain the Dao and take human form, it would not matter if he let the other party use Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi for a while.

Once he attained the Dao and took human form, he would suppress the Primordial World, kill Bai Chen the vile beast, and take Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi back.

"Fine!"

Faced with the Innate Gourd Vine's condition, Bai Chen nodded in agreement.

He had naturally guessed what scheme the Innate Gourd Vine was plotting, but he was not worried. The other party could not attain the Dao in the first place.

After Bai Chen and the Innate Gourd Vine reached an agreement in private, Bai Chen hurriedly stopped Xuanming and Houtu and said:

"Xuanming, Houtu, stop fighting!"

Bai Chen knew that Dijiang, Gou Mang, and the other Ancestral Witches would not listen to him. If he wanted to stop the battle, he had to use Xuanming and Houtu to control Dijiang and the ten other sister-obsessed men.

"Lazy cat, move aside! I am going to kill this gourd vine today!"

Xuanming shoved Bai Chen away. She had also fought the Innate Gourd Vine into a true rage just now and now wanted to kill him.

Bai Chen flew onto Xuanming's shoulder, grabbed the hair beside her ear, and said:

"Xuanming, this gourd vine cannot die yet. It is not worth much if he dies now..."

To placate Xuanming, Bai Chen said a great deal before finally getting her to stop.

After Xuanming stopped, she pinched Bai Chen's soft, plump, furry face and said:

"Lazy cat, what deal did you make with him in private? What exactly did he give you?"

Xuanming knew Bai Chen's temperament very well. If the other party had not made a private deal with this Fat Cat, this Fat Cat would have been eager for her to kill him.

Now that this Fat Cat was trying to mediate, the other party must have given him enough benefits.
