Breaking Through to Half-Step Earth Immortal, Savage Life of the Witch Clan

In the Buzhou Mountain of the Primordial World...

In Nuwa's dojo...

"Chicken wings, I love to eat them, today I'll add a bunch of spiritual herbs..."

A rat was enthusiastically roasting chicken wings. Upon closer inspection, they were phoenix wings. It was truly too boring. As a Treasure Seeking Rat, it had a restless nature. Enduring the pressure of Buzhou Mountain, it secretly went to the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin battlefield and took away a fallen phoenix. From then on, it never dared to leave the mountain.

Every day, it would barbecue phoenixes and live a blissful life...

Whoosh...

A bright light flashed, and four people stepped out of a vortex. The Treasure Seeking Rat's eyes widened, and it immediately exclaimed, "You're back... You're finally back... Do you know how I spent these twenty thousand years? You heartless wretches..."

Duobao, with a resentful expression, looked up pitifully...

"Duobao... stop messing around. Has anything major happened in the Primordial World recently?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

"Hmph... Lady Nuwa needs comfort," Duobao grunted. Instead, he hugged Lady Nuwa's leg. After rubbing it twice, he was kicked away, his face full of grievance.

"You truly are a scheming fellow. No wonder you became Duobao Tathagata, full of wicked ideas. Quickly tell me about the trends in the Primordial World, and have you seen any treasures recently?" Lady Nuwa looked at Duobao. He was plump and cute, so much more adorable compared to the Duobao Tathagata of later generations.

"Cough, cough..." Duobao coughed and said, "Ancestor Dragon stepped into the Half-Saint realm ten thousand years ago, shocking all the myriad races of the Primordial World. Later, Primordial Phoenix and First Qilin were not to be outdone and broke through successively. The entire Primordial World has been fighting every day..."

"It is said that this time, the Qilin Clan has cooperated with the Phoenix Clan, intending to resist the Dragon Clan together. Endless slaughter has permeated the Primordial World. Do you see the calamity energy rippling through heaven and earth?"

"All living beings touched by it have gone mad. Every day, one of the myriad races of the Primordial World is annihilated. It's terrifying to the extreme..."

Chen Xuan looked up at the sky. Indeed, the ancient firmament was terrifying, with winds and clouds changing, the sun and moon dimming. A sense of solemn and murderousness pervaded the heavens and earth. Great powers must have gone into seclusion, avoiding the calamity of killing, and no one could escape...

The subsequent Investiture of the Gods Calamity was precisely because the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect were tainted by the killing calamity of the Primordial World, initiating the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, from which even Saints could not escape...

"It seems the Dragon-Han Calamity has not ended yet. It will be some time before it concludes. What plans do you think we should make?" Chen Xuan pondered.

"I think we can make a plan. After obtaining merit, our cultivation as siblings will be far ahead of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace," Nuwa said seriously.

"Indeed. If we follow the path of the calamity, the Primordial World will inevitably move towards the mortal world of later generations, where the end of Dharma will descend, and all calamities will be extinguished. We must make a choice..." Houtu nodded solemnly.

"Indeed. It's time to make a move in this Dragon-Han Calamity..." Fuxi also said solemnly.

"Good... This time, the main battlefield is in the West. We dare to go there and make the great battle even more interesting," Nuwa's lips curved upwards, as if she had a strong interest in altering history.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go..." Chen Xuan was also impatient.

"You can't go. Calamity energy has already arisen. Under the killing calamity, you, a weakling who hasn't even become an immortal, a scrawny dog, what are you doing joining the fun? I'll take you to the Witch Clan..." Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, stepped forward, making Chen Xuan want to cry.

"You..." Chen Xuan wanted to retort.

"Yes... don't get involved. The calamity is too terrifying..." Fuxi and Nuwa, the siblings, nodded in unison, including the Treasure Seeking Rat.

"Alright! But you have merit on your person, so calamity energy won't cling to you. Still, be careful. The West will be destroyed and become a patchwork land, definitely a self-detonation of a Half-Saint level."

Chen Xuan warned sternly. Everyone naturally dared not mess around and nodded.

"Don't worry... we won't put ourselves in danger if it doesn't align with our interests," Lady Nuwa also planned.

"Let's do it! If there are any treasures, we, the great thieves of the Primordial World, will never miss them, tsk tsk..." Chen Xuan grinned.

For the next period, they all cultivated diligently in Nuwa's dojo. Chen Xuan broke through from the Tribulation Crossing stage to the Mahayana stage, half a step to Earth Immortal. Because the Primordial World did not yet have a complete Heavenly Dao, his cultivation was very smooth...

"I'm only one realm away from becoming an Earth Immortal. Do you have any methods?" Chen Xuan looked at Lady Nuwa, full of anticipation.

"Have a cup of tea!" Lady Nuwa handed him a cup of tea. The rich aroma made Chen Xuan's eyes light up. This was Enlightenment Tea, something he had longed for.

After drinking the tea, he felt refreshed, his soul leaped, and a wave of comfort washed over him from within. Heaven and earth were all laid bare before his eyes, and the rules seemed within reach. It was as if the universe had become a system, making it easy to enter the Dao...

A powerful sense of comprehension made him suddenly enlightened, and he felt a wave of comfort. He broke through again, advancing to the late Mahayana stage, half a step to Earth Immortal...

"Very good... This time, breaking through to half a step to Earth Immortal, in an era where the Heavenly Dao is not manifest, you only need to break through madly. There won't be any bottlenecks. Otherwise, the path of cultivation will only become more difficult..."

Lady Nuwa knew very well that after Hongjun's Harmony with Dao, the Heavenly Dao would be perfected, with all sorts of Heavenly Dao rules, the five decays of heaven and man, three disasters and six calamities, and numerous tribulations, all designed by the Heavenly Dao to set up tribulations for all beings.

The path of the Great Dao gradually became more difficult and perilous. Was it Hongjun's deliberate design, or the Heavenly Dao's self-perfection? For everyone present, it was a mystery.

After cultivating in Nuwa's dojo for half a month...

Chen Xuan ate many immortal delicacies every day, and his cultivation speed advanced by leaps and bounds, like nine stalks of iris, ginseng babies, hundred-thousand-year-old immortal ganoderma, million-year-old blood bodhi...

Bang...

Chen Xuan finally broke through, becoming an Earth Immortal in one fell swoop. His aura was powerful, surging towards him, making him feel like he had reached the peak of his life. With one punch, he could blow up a small mountain...

"Haha... I'm finally an immortal, this is awesome. My future is limitless. Who dares to fight me?" Chen Xuan was high on himself.

In the village, Chen Wang was elected village chief. With a fortune of several hundred thousand, even a million, he could be arrogant and overbearing, looking down on everyone, even the town chief.

Chen Xuan, having broken through to become an immortal, his confidence inflated, could not conceal it. His body was filled with power, and he felt invincible. He immediately leaped up and headed in a direction...

A rabbit jumped out of Buzhou Mountain, its blood-red eyes like rubies. It looked around and finally saw a guy blocking its path with a very arrogant stance...

"Rabbit... The one who defeated my Big Yellow a while ago. Don't think you're powerful. I'm already an Earth Immortal. Today, I must teach you a lesson. Remember, your grandpa has always been your grandpa..."

Chen Xuan was majestic and extraordinary. He raised his powerful fist, shattering the void, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to crack. He unleashed his full power, wanting to fight the rabbit of Buzhou Mountain.

Bang...

Chen Xuan was sent flying with a slap, crashing into a large rock a hundred meters away. He was in a sorry state, looking dejected. Why couldn't he defeat a rabbit?

"Are you getting too arrogant? This rabbit, after you left the Primordial World, cultivated for about twenty thousand years and has already reached the late Earth Immortal stage. What makes you think you can fight it?" Lady Nuwa said coldly. He was truly ignorant of worldly affairs.

"Alright! What exactly is this rabbit's identity? Could it be a Lunar Jade Rabbit? Or Chang'er Dingguang Xian? I'm burning with rage, to think I can't even defeat a rabbit," Chen Xuan was very depressed.

The two famous rabbits of the Primordial World were the Lunar Jade Rabbit and the Joyful Buddha, who was Chang'er Dingguang Xian of the Intercepting Sect. He betrayed the Heavenly Lord Tongtian and defected to Buddhism, becoming a dual-cultivation expert...

"This Palace doesn't know. Anyway, no living being on Buzhou Mountain is ordinary. Right... let's start heading to the Witch Clan," Madam Nuwa said calmly.

"Heading to the Witch Clan? It seems the Great Tribulation of the Primordial World has entered a tense and exciting critical moment," Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What are you still gawking at? Let's go!" Madam Nuwa waved her hand, and Chen Xuan was enveloped by a force. Without the oppressive pressure of Buzhou Mountain, they headed towards an unknown part of the Primordial World.

Houtu, Fuxi, and Duobao set off together grandly, tearing through the sky like streaks of light, heading directly towards the Witch Clan.

Heh-ho...

As they entered the Witch Clan's territory, a shout echoed through the heavens. Flames erupted, and from afar, they saw a pile of burning embers, with a group of people gathered around. It looked like a minority tribe, holding hands and singing by the bonfire.

"Nani... have we arrived at a primitive tribe?" Chen Xuan was dumbfounded.

(Writing this after a few drinks, feeling a bit dizzy. Don't know if there are any mistakes.)
