"Th-this~"
Zhu Jiuyin saw that Bai Chen had set his sights on him, and was instantly rendered speechless. His expression was extremely awkward. Bai Chen was far too insatiable.
"Zhu Jiuyin, for the chance to prove the Dao, make this sacrifice!"
Just as Zhu Jiuyin was fretting, Dijiang, the eldest brother, sternly urged him. Rather than advice, it was more like an order.
After all, Zhu Jiuyin had just led the other Ancestral Witches in stabbing their eldest brother in the back, so he could hardly blame this eldest brother for being ruthless.
"Sigh!"
Zhu Jiuyin let out a helpless sigh. Once you started down this path, sooner or later you had to pay the price.
Seeing that Zhu Jiuyin had agreed, Bai Chen also tossed him a jade bottle. "Fill it up!"
The two Ancestral Witches, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, filled the jade bottles with their essence blood containing the power of laws, then handed them to Bai Chen.
Bai Chen looked at the two jade bottles brimming with the power of laws and was overjoyed.
Were these really just two jade bottles?
This was the Space Laws and Time Laws of Great God Bai Chen!
"Bai Chen, you can tell us now, right?"
The anger in Ancestral Witch Dijiang's eyes was almost impossible to conceal.
If Bai Chen made another demand, then even with the death-exemption token given to him by their Father God Pangu, Dijiang would still drag Bai Chen out of Houtu's arms and beat him up.
"Little White, stop making demands. Otherwise, several of your brothers will definitely deal with you."
Houtu sensed the anger in Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches. To keep Bai Chen from getting beaten, she hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.
Bai Chen put away the two jade bottles, then took out a fruit and said as he gnawed on it:
"Thirty-six represents completeness and ultimate perfection, but the Primordial Era now has only the Thirty-three Heavens. Three Heavens are missing. This is Heaven's Deficiency!"
"And corresponding to Heaven's Deficiency is Earth's Incompleteness. Completing Earth's Incompleteness is your chance to prove the Dao, Ancestral Witches."
The Primordial Era's Buzhou Mountain was also incomplete precisely because of Heaven's Deficiency and Earth's Incompleteness.
Heaven's Deficiency and Earth's Incompleteness were also one of the reasons the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches existed. The task of the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches was to complete the Primordial Era.
The three missing Heavens of Heaven's Deficiency were the Three Pure Heavens.
Earth's Incompleteness involved many more things: the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the Nine Netherworld Springs, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
According to the Great Dao's Destiny, all of these were things Houtu had to complete.
"Bai Chen, what exactly is missing from Earth's Incompleteness?"
Having recovered from his shock, Zhu Jiuyin hurriedly pressed on.
"Er..."
?(●?(work)?●)?
Bai Chen was left awkwardly speechless. This generation of Ancestral Witches was the worst one Great God Bai Chen had ever led.
"Although this Great God knows, if I tell you, and you don't comprehend it yourselves, then even if you know the answer, you probably still won't be able to prove the Dao."
After Bai Chen said this, several Ancestral Witches whose minds were not sharp enough still wanted to ask more, but Zhu Jiuyin stopped them.
"Brothers, what Bai Chen said makes sense. He has already given us enough hints.
"Perhaps we really should think it over carefully before we can completely comprehend our chance to prove the Dao."
As soon as Zhu Jiuyin said this, the other Ancestral Witches all turned their gazes toward him. After all, he was the wise one among the Ancestral Witches.
Zhu Jiuyin's expression turned completely dark. Surely everyone was not expecting him, a single Witch, to comprehend the chance to prove the Dao for all of them?
Xuanming suddenly realized something important, so she questioned Bai Chen:
"Lazy cat, you said that completing Earth's Incompleteness is our Ancestral Witches' chance to prove the Dao. Then what about Heaven's Deficiency? How will it be handled, and who will handle it?"
Xuanming thought that surely there could not be other Pangu Descendants besides the Ancestral Witches.
"There aren't only the Ancestral Witches among the Pangu Descendants!"
Bai Chen replied irritably. As soon as he said this, all the Ancestral Witches were greatly alarmed.
That was because, according to their understanding, they were the only Pangu bloodline. There should not be any other Pangu Descendants in the Primordial Era!
Bai Chen paid no attention to the Ancestral Witches' dazed expressions. He flew straight onto Houtu's shoulder and said:
"Houtu, let this Great God tell you. In the Kunlun Ruins Immortal Realm on Kunlun Mountain, there are three brothers named Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Shangqing Tongtian.
"By appearance, the eldest looks like an old man, the second is a middle-aged man, and the third is a young man.
"The three brothers were formed from the division of Great God Pangu's primordial spirit.
"They correspond to Great God Pangu's old, middle-aged, and young forms, and inherited Great God Pangu's Dao of alchemy, Dao of artifact refinement, and Dao of array formation!"
"..."
After Bai Chen gave Houtu a rough explanation of the Three Pure Ones' circumstances, he reminded her to remember to mine for him, then flew away.
"The Three Pure Ones!"
Houtu memorized everything Bai Chen had said. She was somewhat curious about how the lineage of the Three Pure Ones differed from that of the Ancestral Witches.
Bai Chen soon found the Secret Realm containing the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi according to the location given by the Innate Gourd Vine.
"The restrictions on this Secret Realm are quite formidable. As expected, there's a supreme treasure inside."
Bai Chen kicked the restrictions hard several times with his claws. Seeing that they were incomparably sturdy, he could not help sighing.
"Perfect. I'll test how much stronger the Jade Disk of Creation fragments have become."
Bai Chen took out the Jade Disk of Creation fragments. Ever since fusing those five fragments, he had not tested their power. Now was the perfect time.
As Bai Chen fully activated the Jade Disk of Creation fragments, they released Daoist rhymes in five brilliant colors, incomparably mysterious. The restrictions around the Secret Realm were gradually eroded away.
"Break!"
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Chen let out a loud shout, and the Secret Realm's protective restrictions were completely destroyed. Bai Chen burrowed into the Secret Realm.
The instant Bai Chen entered the Secret Realm, a purple divine light suddenly attacked him.
Bai Chen hurriedly pulled out the Hammer of Reason and swung it, blocking the incoming attack.
At the same time, he saw the attacker's true form. It was a ruler.
Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi coiled around its entire body, with faint purple light glimmering across it, revealing the Heaven-Opening Merit!
At the very center of the ruler were two Innate Dao Script characters engraved upon it—"Measuring Heaven." This was the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi!
After being forced back by Bai Chen, the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi attacked him again.
After several exchanges, the Hammer of Reason in Bai Chen's hand could no longer hold out and shattered completely.
Bai Chen's Hammer of Reason had already been damaged during his earlier battle with the Innate Gourd Vine.
Now that it had clashed with the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi, a supreme treasure of offense, how could it possibly endure?
"This Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi is already this powerful without anyone controlling it.
"As expected of the first Houtian Supreme Treasure of the Primordial Era, formed from the fusion of the first Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi and the Heaven-Opening Merit."
Bai Chen looked at the shattered Hammer of Reason and could not help sighing.
Left Claw Morality, Right Claw Reason!
Bai Chen discarded the shattered Hammer of Reason and launched the Jade Disk of Creation fragments at the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi.
"Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi, submit to this Great God!"
As soon as the Jade Disk of Creation fragments appeared, they released divine light and supreme divine power. The Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi was struck down directly, and its power dispersed.
Bai Chen curled his little claw, and the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi was drawn into his grasp.
"Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi, from now on, you are this Great God's Ruler of Morality!"
Using his claw as a brush and his magical power as ink, Bai Chen wrote the two Innate Dao Script characters "Morality" on the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi.
Now that Great God Bai Chen had the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi, his Ruler of Morality, he could subdue the gods with virtue in the future.
When the time came, he would take out the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi, this "Ruler of Morality." Who would dare refuse to submit to Great God Bai Chen?
At that time, Great God Bai Chen would use "morality" to physically send his opponent to transcendence.
In any case, the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi contained Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi and Heaven-Opening Merit, so killing would not incur karmic sin.
As for the Hammer of Reason, once Houtu and Xuanming finished mining the ore, Bai Chen would find the Artifact Refining Maiden and have another one reforged.
By then, with the "Ruler of Morality" in his left claw and the "Hammer of Reason" in his right claw, he would possess both morality and reason. Who would dare refuse to submit?
In the Western Primordial Era, the armies of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans had already engaged in battle.
Ancestor Dragon and Yuanfeng both followed their agreement, and the armies of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans joined forces to attack the Qilin Clan from both sides.
Facing the assault of two clans, the Qilin Clan, despite having greater numbers, was beginning to struggle.
However, the Qilin Clan still did not retreat. Under the supervision of the Qilin Clan's elders, its army continued advancing toward Mount Sumeru.
Ancestor Dragon swept his gaze over the Phoenix Clan's army, then asked Yuanfeng beside him:
"Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, it seems that all of your Phoenix Clan's elite forces haven't come. That's a little unfair to my Dragon Clan!"
Ancestor Dragon had long noticed that the forces dispatched by the Phoenix Clan this time were unusual. They numbered only half as many as the Dragon Clan's.
Although the Phoenix Clan's reproductive ability was inferior to that of the Qilin Clan and the Dragon Clan,
the Phoenix Clan was still the ruler of the Flying Birds, an existence as famous as the Qilin Clan and Dragon Clan. Its military strength should not have been this low.
Ancestor Dragon would bet that the Phoenix Clan had definitely concealed some troops.
Ancestor Dragon was somewhat afraid that after the Qilin Clan was defeated, the Phoenix Clan's hidden army would catch the Dragon Clan off guard and slaughter them.
A trace of mockery appeared in Yuanfeng's beautiful eyes. She replied irritably:
"Ancestor Dragon, shouldn't you be happy that all of my Phoenix Clan's elite forces haven't come?"
