War of the Witches and Demons, Meeting the Saint

In the Primordial World, spiritual treasures are divided into Innate and Houtian categories.

Innate Spiritual Treasures are birthed by heaven and earth, containing Innate Undying Spiritual Light and possessing their own Innate Restrictions. They hold a portion of the power of laws, and even if they suffer varying degrees of damage, they can slowly recover under the nourishment of the Innate Undying Spiritual Light.

Conversely, Houtian Spiritual Treasures lack Innate Undying Spiritual Light. The strength of their internal Houtian Restrictions depends entirely on the cultivation and skill of the crafter. Once damaged, they cannot repair themselves and require the crafter to expend rare materials to fix them.

Does this mean Houtian Spiritual Treasures are inferior to Innate ones?

Not necessarily.

Some powerful Houtian Spiritual Treasures are sufficient to rival or even surpass Innate Spiritual Treasures.

For instance, the Sky-Flipping Seal, refined by the Primordial Lord of Heaven using a fragment of Mount Buzhou—could it be any less powerful than an Innate Spiritual Treasure?

The Human-Creating Whip in the hands of the Saint Nuwa is the same.

The only difference between Houtian and Innate is the presence of the Innate Undying Spiritual Light.

And the reward for Choice Two is actually one hundred strands of Innate Undying Spiritual Light!

With Innate Undying Spiritual Light, Houtian Returning to Innate is a simple task!

It might even be possible to cultivate a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure into an Innate Supreme Treasure!

Cangyuan already had a perfect plan in mind.

"I choose two."

Cangyuan said in his heart.

To move a Saint to act, one must naturally offer something that moves a Saint.

Cangyuan looked at the World Purifying White Lotus and asked, "Xiao Bai, you are capable of suppressing destiny, right?"

The World Purifying White Lotus bobbed up and down: "That's right."

Cangyuan smiled lightly, his expression relaxed and natural: "Then things will be easy to handle."

"Let's cultivate the lotus seeds first."

"Mm-hmm."

Among the Six Saints, who is most lacking a spiritual treasure to suppress destiny?

Without a doubt, it is Sect Master Tongtian.

The Chan Sect has the Pangu Banner to suppress the destiny of their great sect.

The Ren Sect has the Taiji Diagram to suppress the destiny of their great sect.

Even the Western Teach has the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus of Merit to suppress their destiny. Only Sect Master Tongtian, the most resilient among the Six Saints, lacks one, instead using a killing-type spiritual treasure, the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, to suppress the destiny of his sect.

It simply cannot suppress it.

As the destiny of the Jie Sect continuously leaks away, it lays the groundwork for the destruction of the Jie Sect in the subsequent Investiture of the Gods War.

If he uses a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure capable of suppressing the destiny of a great sect—the World Purifying White Lotus—as payment, he believes his teacher would be very willing to do him this favor.

The methods of a Saint are incomparable to those of a Great Supernatural Being.

The Houtian Restrictions set by a Saint's own hand are no less formidable than Innate Restrictions.

Cangyuan plunged into busyness once more!

Cangyuan took out all twelve milky-white, crystalline lotus seeds nurtured within the seed pod of the World Purifying White Lotus.

The World Purifying White Lotus was completely fine.

Cangyuan used Three Lights Divine Water to nurture these seeds, and he even destroyed nearly ninety percent of his Innate Spiritual Roots, taking their origin essence as nutrients to feed the twelve lotus seeds.

Endless amounts of Innate Spiritual Energy gathered around!

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Two and a half Yuanhui flashed by.

Inside the Cangyuan Realm.

Before Cangyuan and the World Purifying White Lotus, twelve white lotuses radiating pure world-cleansing light were in full bloom.

These white lotuses were all World Purifying White Lotuses, but they were only three-petaled, reaching only the level of a Low-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

Their power was far inferior to Xiao Bai, the original body.

"Finished! Finished! Yay, yay, yay!"

The World Purifying White Lotus looked at the twelve three-petaled white lotuses before it, which shared the same origin as itself. It was as excited and happy as a child, jumping up and down within the Cangyuan Realm.

Having been with Cangyuan for so long, the World Purifying White Lotus had learned many modern terms.

Such as "yay, yay, yay."

"Alright, let's go find Teacher now."

"Mm-hmm."

Cangyuan smiled slightly, his figure vanishing from the Cangyuan Realm and returning to his cave dwelling on Jin'ao Island in the outside world.

Cangyuan stretched his back and muttered, "Since the master bestowed the treasures, I have been in Secluded Cultivation for three and a half Yuanhui—three hundred and seventy thousand years. I wonder if Yunxiao and Brother Gongming have broken through to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm yet."

Once reaching the Golden Immortal level, living beings begin to come into contact with the laws, thereby determining their future path.

The path Cangyuan has chosen is the Path of Creation!

The Innate Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth are the foundation of the world's operation; ninety-nine percent of all things in the world are born following the laws of the Innate Five Elements.

The two paths of Yin Yang are the fundamental laws and original driving force that construct the world. They are the manifestation of the [Dao], running through the entire process of the world from nothingness to existence, and from extinction to rebirth.

Following these are space and time.

These two are indispensable to any world.

Finally, there is Creation.

This is the key to the world nurturing life.

It may seem like ten different laws, but Cangyuan is striving to integrate them into one!

To become the Law of Creation!

However, the difficulty of integrating ten different laws into one can be imagined.

It especially requires Cangyuan to have a profound understanding of these ten laws.

Currently, Cangyuan only has a deep understanding of the Law of Water, the Law of Space, and the Law of Creation.

His comprehension of the other seven laws is merely scratching the surface.

He hasn't even reached ten percent comprehension in them.

It is not even as deep as his understanding of the Law of Clouds.

The burden is heavy and the road is long.

Fortunately, Cangyuan still has time.

Cangyuan walked out of his cave dwelling and strolled across Jin'ao Island.

There were many living beings on Jin'ao Island.

Their auras varied in depth.

Boom, boom, boom!

Hum, hum, hum!

Just then, the Karmic Tribulation Energy of heaven and earth surged incessantly, and the laws of heaven and earth resonated with a great tremor.

A murderous aura that filled the heart with despair spread from the center of the Primordial World.

It swept across the entire Primordial World!

"Kill! Kill these barbarians!"

"Damned food, you actually dare to challenge the status of my Witch Race!"

"..."

Terrifying roars echoed through heaven and earth, shaking the universe. The Golden Spears and Iron Horses of war caused a commotion that made the entire Primordial World tremble, shaking the very souls of all who heard it!

Cangyuan's expression shifted. He looked toward the center of the Primordial World, where he could vaguely see a protracted war erupting. Every moment, swaths of living beings were dying.

The dead beings caused the Karmic Tribulation Energy of the Primordial World to continue rising until it reached an uncontrollable level.

"The Heavenly Court and the Witch Race have started a war?"

"It's too terrifying. If we were on that battlefield, I fear we wouldn't even last a single breath before being shredded to pieces."

"Too terrifying."

"..."

The surrounding living beings were shaken, unable to help but exclaim in shock.

Cangyuan smiled and said nothing.

This is just the beginning.

This is merely the first War of the Witches and Demons.

This stage of the war is still at the level of two armies facing off, using the lives of living beings to fill the void.

In the second War of the Witches and Demons, that will be the battle where the Great Array of Zhou Tian Stars and the Great Array of Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha collide.

Both great arrays possess the power of a Saint.

They are truly terrifying.

Even the Six Saints were shocked.

In the end, it was Dao Ancestor Hongjun who stepped in to stop the fighting.

Only then did the agreement come to be that the Witches and Demons could not stir up conflict for ten Yuanhui.

As for the final battle...

The Demon Race of the Heavenly Court discovered the secret of the Human Race and began a large-scale slaughter of humans to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword.

With the death of nine of the Ten Little Golden Crows.

Starting with the Witch Race losing two Great Witches, Kuafu and Houyi, the Third War of the Witches and Demons was ignited.

It was also known as the Decisive Battle of Witches and Demons.

In the end, both the Witch Race and the Demon Race met their decline.

This has nothing to do with me; it is more important to go to Biyou Palace and ask my teacher to intervene.

Cangyuan thought to himself, withdrew his gaze, and continued on his way toward Biyou Palace.

At this moment, Cangyuan noticed the surrounding scenery blur, and by the time it cleared, he had already arrived inside Biyou Palace.
