Battle for Pangu Orthodoxy, Southern Off-Earth Flame Light Banner

Since Hongjun attained sainthood, the Primordial Continent had truly been swept by winds and clouds.

First came Hongjun's lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace, where the Dao Ancestor personally appointed Duke of the East as the leader of the male immortals.

Immediately after, in order to dominate the Primordial Wilderness, gather fortune, and become its ruler, Duke of the East established the Immortal Court and launched campaigns in every direction.

This provoked the Pangu-blooded Witch Clan beneath Buzhou Mountain.

Thus, the two sides went to war.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches charged into the Immortal Court, condensed the Pangu True Body, and slapped Duke of the East to death with two palms.

Many Primordial Powerhouses fell in this battle.

At the Purple Cloud Palace's second lecture, the Ancestral Witches established the Witch Court, intending to govern the Primordial Wilderness on behalf of Pangu the Father God.

The original fate of the Primordial Wilderness completely veered off course at this moment. Hongjun Daozu was stunned.

He had no choice but to urgently arrange contingencies, deliberately revealing several treasure sites to bolster the strength of the Demon Clan.

At the same time, he gave Kunpeng Ancestor and Nether River Ancestor subtle hints.

Both were deeply rooted powerhouses. Taking that faint stirring in their hearts as a warning from the Heavenly Dao, they hurriedly organized Demon Clan forces to oppose the Witch Court.

Thus came the first great war between the Witches and Demons in the North Sea.

In that battle, numerous Demon Clan powerhouses fell.

After Hongjun Daozu's two lectures, countless Primordial Powerhouses had perished.

There were also those Innate Saints caught in the crossfire, sitting peacefully at home only for disaster to fall from the sky.

Before they could even react, they were slaughtered by the Witch Clan, who cheerfully claimed their cave abodes.

The Witch Court's ceaseless campaigns naturally threw the Primordial Wilderness's energies into chaos. Tribulation Qi quietly arose, and a great calamity began to brew.

Watching this scene from high above the Ninth Heaven, Hongjun Daozu nodded to himself.

The conflict had already been stirred up. What came next would depend on their own fortunes.

But when Hongjun Daozu looked at the Demon Court, which had only a handful of stragglers, he frowned.

"Looks like I'll have to give the Demon Court some special treatment!"

"Otherwise, with such little strength, how could they possibly shake the Witch Court?"

But before Hongjun Daozu could make a move, three terrifying waves of aura suddenly erupted at once from Kunlun in the Primordial Continent.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones successively break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, Hongjun Daozu smiled faintly and stopped concerning himself with the matter.

"With the Three Pure Ones setting up the ring, the Witch Court will have a force to restrain it."

Kunlun Mountain.

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian successively broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm, becoming Golden Immortals of Hunyuan.

For a time, none could rival their splendor.

The name of Pangu orthodox successors also spread far and wide.

Yet this enraged the Ancestral Witches beneath Buzhou Mountain.

The Ancestral Witches had first proclaimed themselves Pangu's blood descendants and claimed to govern the Primordial Wilderness on behalf of Pangu the Father God.

Then the Kunlun Three Pure Ones called themselves Pangu orthodox successors.

What was this supposed to mean?

Could it be that they wanted to contend with the Witch Court for power and profit?

After discussing it among themselves, the Twelve Ancestral Witches assembled their troops, rode their escape lights, and rushed toward Kunlun Mountain.

This time, they would settle who was the true Pangu orthodoxy!

"Ding-dong! Detected that the Twelve Ancestral Witches are about to head to Kunlun Mountain to seek trouble with the Three Pure Ones and establish the legitimacy of their Pangu bloodline. At this special moment, please make the correct choice in accordance with the Homebody Choice System."

"Choice one: Leave the palace immediately, head to the Ancestral Witch Temple, pay respects to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, become a fighter for the Witch Court, and suppress the Three Pure Ones. Reward: Pangu's Heart."

"Choice two: Head to Kunlun Mountain, pay respects to the Three Pure Ones, and assist them in resisting the Witch Court. Reward: complete Eight-Nine Arcane Art."

"Choice three: Remain steadily secluded on the Sun Star, study and cultivate diligently, become a supreme saint of the Path of Stealth. Reward: Southern Off-Earth Flame Light Banner."

Within the Sun Palace, Taiyi, who had been cultivating, was startled when he heard the voice resound in his mind.

The Three Pure Ones' clear qi and the Twelve turbid qi were finally going to throw down?

What a rare sight!

Taiyi laughed inwardly.

But when he saw the rewards offered by the system, Taiyi practically began drooling.

"Damn! There's even Pangu's Heart? This system is defying the heavens!"

His eyes widened as he stared at Choice One's reward, and his breathing grew several degrees more hurried.

There was no need to question it. Pangu's Heart was absolutely on the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure!

It might even be a Chaos Supreme Treasure!

Yet Taiyi could only smack his lips regretfully.

Leaving the palace definitely went against the Homebody Choice System's principles.

He feared that if he left the palace, the system would bid him farewell the very next moment.

Without the system's assistance, he would likely still be unable to escape the danger of falling in the future.

As for the reward for Choice Two, Taiyi skipped over it directly.

Even a complete Eight-Nine Arcane Art was merely a cultivation technique focused solely on the primordial spirit.

Perhaps it could lead directly to the Dao of Hunyuan.

But how could that compare to the stability of attaining the Dao through laws?

Besides, he had already come this far. He possessed three of the Innate Five Elements Laws and was not far from attaining the Dao.

How could he throw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds?

"If it were the complete Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, then I could consider it."

Taiyi muttered to himself.

The complete Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill was the force-based Dao-attainment technique cultivated by Great God Pangu.

It was on an entirely different level from the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill cultivated by the Ancestral Witches.

The complete Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill pointed directly toward Primordial Chaos Limitless.

Even Hongjun Daozu would covet a technique of that level.

If Hongjun had Pangu's Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, why would he bother with merging himself with the Dao?

Wouldn't attaining Hunyuan Limitless Grand Luo Golden Immortal himself be far better?

Thinking this, Taiyi shook his head and spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"System, I choose three."

A small crimson flame banner instantly appeared in Taiyi's hand.

Looking at the Innate Fire Flame Light Banner before him, which contained an incomparably dense Great Dao of Fire Laws, Taiyi was filled with delight.

"With this, my comprehension of the Fire Law can definitely reach over sixty percent in one stroke, surpassing the halfway mark!"

"Now, my control over the domain of Fire Laws will undoubtedly leave everyone else in the entire Primordial Wilderness far behind."

Playing with the Off-Earth Flame Light Banner in his hand, Taiyi was overjoyed.

"Of the Innate Five Directional Flags, I have already gathered the Central Earth Yellow Apricot Banner, the Northern Mysterious Origin Control Water Flag, and the Southern Off-Earth Flame Light Banner."

"Only the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Banner and Western Plain Cloud Banner remain. Once I obtain them, I can thoroughly integrate the Dao of the Innate Five Elements Laws."

"Then, after steady refinement, I will be able to attain the Innate Five Elements Hunyuan Great Dao!"

Delighted, Taiyi did not hesitate. He directly tossed the Off-Earth Flame Light Banner into his Golden Crow Primordial Spirit for refinement, striving to refine it as soon as possible.

At the same time, Taiyi took out the cultivation method for the Solar Divine Body's Innate Divine Ability, preparing to devour the Sun Star's law origin and cultivate the one and only Solar Divine Body across all worlds.

While Taiyi buried himself in cultivation, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had already come knocking, challenging the Three Pure Ones to determine the true Pangu orthodoxy and establish their own legitimacy.

Boom!

Zhurong, the most hot-tempered Fire Ancestral Witch among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, transformed into his true Ancestral Witch form, towering ten thousand zhang high. He slammed a fist into Kunlun Mountain's defensive barrier, shaking the mountain relentlessly as rocks came tumbling down.

"Three Pure Ones brats, get out here!"
