Without the Innate Breathing Soil, it's uncertain if one could even leave a complete corpse after failing to Prove the Dao.

If the other party can successfully Prove the Dao, then let Great God Bai Chen come and take this life if he dares.

"Good, good, good!"

The Innate Gourd Vine was furious upon hearing this, shouting "good" three times.

"Bai Chen, I can give you the Innate Breathing Soil, but I require you to swear that you will not reveal my whereabouts to anyone else."

Although the Innate Gourd Vine was enraged at the moment, it hadn't completely lost its mind and understood the implications.

Between the safety of its life and the opportunity to Prove the Dao, it chose to give up the Innate Breathing Soil.

While the chance of successfully Proving the Dao would decrease without the Innate Breathing Soil, the Innate Gourd Vine believed that with its own foundation, Proving the Dao shouldn't be a major issue, it would just suffer a bit more.

The Innate Gourd Vine swore that after it successfully Proved the Dao, it would make Bai Chen wish he were dead and exterminate all of Pangu's descendants.

"Good!"

Bai Chen agreed, and then, along with the Ancestor Witches, took a great oath. The Innate Gourd Vine handed over the Innate Breathing Soil.

Bai Chen looked at the soil in his hand, which emitted nine-colored divine light and Innate Dao Charm, and was overjoyed.

That's right, this was the Innate Breathing Soil, the primary material Nuwa used to mold humans from clay.

He would keep it safe for Nuwa for now and lend it to her when she was ready to create humans.

Just as Bai Chen was leaving the secret realm and about to look for the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi, Xuanming grabbed its tail and poked its back, reminding it to fulfill its promise.

Bai Chen produced the Innate Breathing Soil, split it in half, and handed it to Houtu:

"Houtu, this Great God is a person of my word. Here's yours."

The Innate Breathing Soil was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, but it was different from ordinary ones.

As long as its innate origin remained, it was inexhaustible.

The portion Bai Chen kept for himself possessed the innate origin and could regenerate even after giving half to Houtu.

The portion Bai Chen gave to Houtu lacked the innate origin and would be depleted after use, unable to recover.

Chapter 17: Earnestly Requesting Great God Pangu to Distinguish Loyalty from Treachery!

Bai Chen felt he couldn't be blamed. Who told Houtu not to have a Primordial Spirit, making her unable to activate the Innate Breathing Soil, a Top-grade Spiritual Treasure.

Even if he had given Houtu the portion with the innate origin, she wouldn't have been able to use it.

Houtu could only refine and absorb the Innate Breathing Soil to strengthen her Law of Earth, which was a complete waste.

"Houtu, you are not allowed to tell anyone about the Innate Breathing Soil, especially Nuwa!"

"The Innate Breathing Soil I gave you, hurry up and refine and absorb it."

After handing over the portion of the Innate Breathing Soil to Houtu, Bai Chen still reminded her.

"Mhm!"

Although Houtu didn't understand why Bai Chen wanted her to keep it a secret, she still nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everything was settled, Bai Chen prepared to leave.

But Xuanming still held onto its little tail, not wanting it to leave.

"Lazy Cat, you also promised earlier to tell us a secret about Proving the Dao?"

Bai Chen had promised Xuanming two things, and now he had only fulfilled one. How could she let Bai Chen leave?

If it were before, Xuanming definitely wouldn't have believed Bai Chen knew a secret about Proving the Dao, but after witnessing Bai Chen's confrontation with the Innate Gourd Vine, she had started to believe him.

What if this lazy cat really knew the secret to Proving the Dao?

If she and her siblings didn't ask, wouldn't they miss out on a great opportunity?

"Two younger sisters, your elder brother wants to remind you of something. This Fat Cat's cultivation is not as high as yours."

Ancestor Witch Zhurong couldn't help but chime in after hearing Xuanming's words.

In his opinion, how could this Fat Cat, with such weak cultivation, possibly know the secret to Proving the Dao?

It was only his two foolish sisters who were being deceived by the Fat Cat like this. As their elder brother, he had to step in and remind them.

Although Ancestor Witch Zhurong didn't say it directly, Bai Chen wasn't stupid and understood what he meant.

"Zhurong, get out of here. You are not allowed to listen."

Bai Chen raised its little paw, signaling Ancestor Witch Zhurong to scram, and to get as far away as possible.

"Heh!"

"This Ancestor Witch is Pangu's Orthodox Lineage. Who cares about your lies!"

Ancestor Witch Zhurong said coldly, put down his words, and left, returning to Pangu Hall.

The other Ancestor Witches did not leave. It wasn't that they believed Bai Chen knew the secret about Proving the Dao.

Rather, they wanted to keep an eye on Xuanming and Houtu, lest these two foolish sisters be completely deceived by Bai Chen.

Bai Chen flew onto Houtu's shoulder, took out a Huai Wood Fruit, and said while gnawing on it:

"Xuanming, Houtu, actually this secret about proving the Dao isn't much of a secret.

Great God Pangu told all beings in the Primordial Era long ago, it's just that no one understood it."

"???"

As soon as Bai Chen said this, all the Ancestor Witches looked dumbfounded.

When did their Father God Pangu tell the secret of proving the Dao to the Primordial Era? How could they, his children, not know?

Bai Chen looked at the dumbfounded Ancestor Witches and wasn't too surprised. He continued to explain:

"Buzhou Mountain!"

"Buzhou! Buzhou!"

"Buzhou means incomplete, and also imperfect!"

"Buzhou Mountain supports the sky and shakes the earth. The incomplete naturally refers to the sky and the earth~"

The name Buzhou Mountain never meant that Buzhou Mountain itself was incomplete; it meant that the entire Primordial Era was incomplete and imperfect.

"Little White, stop talking. What you're saying is too disrespectful to Father God!"

Before Bai Chen could finish speaking, Houtu and Xuanming quickly covered Bai Chen's mouth, stopping it from continuing.

At the same time, Houtu and Xuanming protected Bai Chen, preventing the other enraged Ancestor Witches from attacking it.

"Bai Chen, you're outrageous!"

"Bold!"

"..."

Ancestor Witches like Dijiang, who were protective of their sisters, were furious and sternly rebuked Bai Chen.

To Ancestor Witches like Dijiang, Bai Chen saying the Primordial Era was incomplete was blaspheming their Father God Pangu's contribution in creating the Primordial Era, and implying that Pangu did a poor job and left a mess.

This was something Dijiang and the others absolutely could not tolerate!

If Xuanming and Houtu hadn't protected Bai Chen, they would have already attacked and killed it.

Bai Chen was also very angry. He had kindly revealed this secret, and now it was Great God Bai Chen's fault?

Since when was telling the truth wrong?

The more he thought about it, the angrier Bai Chen became. He broke free from Xuanming and Houtu's protection and bowed towards the celestial pillar of Buzhou Mountain, saying:

"Great God Pangu above, this humble beast is wronged! I beg Great God Pangu to distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous!"

Bai Chen didn't know if Great God Pangu had truly perished, so it decided to take a gamble.

It believed that if the benevolent Great God Pangu, who cared for all beings in the Primordial Era, hadn't completely perished, he would definitely stand up for it.

Following Bai Chen's prayer, five divine lights flew from various parts of Buzhou Mountain and appeared before Bai Chen as five fragments of jade.

"These are fragments of the Jade Disk of Creation?"

Bai Chen was shocked as it looked at these five fragments.

Although the fragments varied in size, Bai Chen recognized their origin at a glance.

This was because these five fragments emitted the same aura as the fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation on its body.

To confirm the origin of these five fragments, Bai Chen opened its mouth and spat out its own fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation.

As if attracted, the five fragments of the Jade Disk of Creation merged with the fragment in Bai Chen's hand.

Bai Chen looked at the fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation, which was several times larger, and was overjoyed.

Heh heh, now that Great God Bai Chen's Jade Disk of Creation was much larger, it should be even more powerful.

At the same time, it was a little curious about how many pieces the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Jade Disk of Creation, had shattered into.

Where were the other fragments of the Jade Disk of Creation?

How many fragments of the Jade Disk of Creation had Ancestor Hongjun collected?

"This humble beast thanks Great God Pangu for the reward!"

Snapping back to reality, Bai Chen held the fragments of the Jade Disk of Creation and bowed towards Buzhou Mountain in thanks.

After this incident, Bai Chen could also roughly confirm that perhaps Great God Pangu had not completely perished.

Bai Chen had been wondering why Chaos Demon Gods like Ancestor Hongjun, whose strength was inferior to Great God Pangu's, hadn't all died.

How could Great God Pangu, whose strength surpassed that of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, have perished?

Also, why did the Witch Clan in later generations not respect the Heavenly Dao, but only Great God Pangu and the Great Dao? And why could the Witch Clan successfully pray to Great God Pangu?

And after Ancestor Hongjun proved the Dao in later generations, the Heavenly Dao revived and could control all parts of the Primordial Era, but it could not control Buzhou Mountain.

Now, Bai Chen estimated that the remnant will of Great God Pangu might be within the celestial pillar of Buzhou Mountain, thus supporting the sky and shaking the earth, protecting all beings in the Primordial Era.

"This is Father God's will. Father God has not perished!"
