After successfully bringing the Green Lotus of Creation back to the Pangu Divine Hall and completely isolating it from the Heavenly Dao's scrutiny and oppression, Di Jiang finally had the leisure to carefully examine the Innate Spiritual Root that had cost him considerable effort to preserve.

The Green Lotus of Creation floated quietly in the center of the divine hall, rooted in the pure spiritual energy Di Jiang had drawn in. Its thirty-six lotus petals opened and closed slowly, each one an emerald green as if about to drip, exuding a jade-like, warm luster!

The naturally formed Dao patterns on it were profound and unfathomable, as if expounding the supreme principles of life creation and the cycle of all things. Above the lotus platform, the condensed primordial energy of creation formed dew, emitting a refreshing fragrance that delighted the heart.

The more Di Jiang looked, the more astonished and delighted he became. He discovered that the aura of the Green Lotus of Creation was as vast as the sea, unfathomably deep. The origin of creation and the laws of the Great Dao contained within it seemed to subtly surpass the Chaos Bell he possessed!

The Chaos Bell was an Innate Supreme Treasure, capable of suppressing the Primordial World, possessing the supreme power to quell the chaos of earth, water, fire, and wind, transform yin and yang and the five elements, and evolve the Great Dao of Spacetime.

Yet, this green lotus before him gave Di Jiang the feeling of being more ancient, more primal, as if pointing directly to the source before the chaos, the beginning of all things!

"Could this have surpassed the scope of Innate Supreme Treasures?" Innate Supreme Treasures were the pinnacle of spiritual treasures nurtured by the Primordial World, but above them were even more powerful Chaos Spiritual Treasures and Chaos Supreme Treasures! However, this Green Lotus of Creation should belong to the category of Chaos Spiritual Roots!

Moreover, Di Jiang sensed that this green lotus was not fixed. In the perfect environment of the Pangu Divine Hall, which was not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and was filled with Pangu's primal aura, its growth, which had stagnated due to the Heavenly Dao's oppression, seemed to have restarted!

The color of the lotus petals became deeper, the Dao patterns more complex, and the overall Dao charm and spiritual pressure it emitted were increasing at an extremely slow but undeniably real pace!

It was originally the direct descendant closest to the Chaos Green Lotus, with profound foundations. If not for the Heavenly Dao's suppression, its growth potential would have been limitless! Now, in the Pangu Divine Hall, the suppression was gone, and it could naturally continue to absorb nourishment, slowly evolving towards its original source, the Chaos Green Lotus!

Although this process was destined to be extremely long, possibly requiring countless eons, or even unimaginable opportunities and resources, at least there was hope!

The value of an item with the potential to grow into a Chaos Supreme Treasure was immeasurable! Di Jiang's gaze towards the Green Lotus of Creation immediately became even more fervent and cautious. This was no longer a simple treasure; it was the foundation of luck that he would nurture with all his might!

Di Jiang immediately took action, sparing no expense of the primal blood essence emanating from the Pangu Blood Pool to slowly nourish the roots of the green lotus. He then mobilized the Innate Spiritual Qi gathered within the divine hall, forming a spiritual mist to envelop it. He even began to consider whether he could find some Chaos Primordial Qi or other rare heavenly treasures beneficial for the evolution of spiritual roots in the future to accelerate this process.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! This is truly an unexpected joy!" Di Jiang clapped his hands and laughed, his mood extremely joyful.

Preserving the Green Lotus of Creation was originally Di Jiang's plan to prevent it from being divided by the Three Pure Ones and to strengthen his own foundation. He never expected that this act would bring him a spiritual root that surpassed Innate Supreme Treasures and had the potential to grow into a Chaos Supreme Treasure!

As Di Jiang carefully settled the Green Lotus of Creation, rejoicing in its infinite potential, the vast and boundless blood pool within the Pangu Divine Hall suddenly churned violently!

A majestic surge of blood essence power surged like a tsunami. The first blood cocoon burst open with a bang, and a brilliant divine light shot up into the sky! Within the divine light, a divine and extraordinary giant bird with nine heads let out a long cry to the heavens!

Its cry was clear and resonant, carrying the sound of wind and thunder! Immediately, the divine light converged, transforming into a tall, exceptionally beautiful woman with a hint of heroism and pride in her brows, dressed in palace attire.

She stood on the blood waves, wearing Qilin boots, with the Dao charm of the nine laws of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, wind, and thunder flowing around her. Although her aura was still somewhat unstable, her cultivation at the early stage of Golden Immortal was undeniable. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Di Jiang, filled with filial affection and closeness. She bowed gracefully, her voice clear and crisp:

"Jiu Feng greets Elder Brother! Thank you, Elder Brother, for nurturing and protecting me!"

It was the Great Witch Jiu Feng, who emerged first! Before Jiu Feng could finish speaking, the surrounding blood cocoons exploded one after another!

A pure battle intent soared into the sky, and her blood essence surged like smoke! As the light dissipated, a powerfully built man with bulging muscles, holding a giant battle axe, appeared.

His face was rugged, his eyes sharp as knives, it was Xing Tian! The Xing Tian Axe in his hand, though not an Innate Spiritual Treasure, contained an indomitable battle intent and a fierce aura, its power not inferior to ordinary mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Immediately after, a sharp arrow intent pierced the air, and a tall, handsome youth with sharp eyes appeared. A simple, ancient divine bow floated behind him, its body flowing with the swiftness of wind and the sharpness of gold—it was Hou Yi and his accompanying Sun-Shooting Bow!

On the other side, blood essence surged, and a figure with ox horns and a human body, stout and exuding the heavy aura of the earth, stepped out. It was Chi You.

Turbulent waves surged, and the cry of a nine-headed giant snake coiled, then transformed into a pale-faced man with a sinister gaze and a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth, appearing like a refined scoundrel. It was Xiangliu.

Finally, a tall, strong man emerged, full of resilience and power, it was Kuafu.

Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Chi You, Xiangliu, and Kuafu, these five Great Witches, after taking form, just like Jiu Feng, their auras surged, and they were all at the early stage of Golden Immortal cultivation!

This was far beyond the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm they should have attained according to their original destiny. This was clearly thanks to the meticulously prepared drop of Essence Blood from Di Jiang and the longer gestation period.

Except for Hou Yi's outstanding looks, Jiu Feng's stunning beauty, and Xiangliu's effeminate demeanor, Xing Tian, Chi You, and Kuafu were all standard rugged tough guys, but each had their own characteristics. Especially Xing Tian, whose face and aura seemed as if he was born for battle.

After the six Great Witches took form, they looked in unison at the only figure in the field—Di Jiang. The closeness and dependence from the depths of their bloodlines were undeniable. They all bowed together, their voices, whether loud or clear, shouting:

"Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Chi You, Xiangliu, Kuafu, greet Elder Brother! Thank you, Elder Brother, for nurturing and protecting us!"

Looking at these six brothers and sisters before him, whose auras were powerful and whose expressions varied, but who all sincerely called him Elder Brother, Di Jiang felt a surge of mixed emotions and an indescribable warmth.

He remembered the eleven Ancestral Witch brothers and sisters whose origins he had devoured during their gestation. The faint sense of guilt he had once felt seemed to be quietly smoothed over at this moment.

It was as if the old siblings had returned in another form, and a new family had taken shape. Di Jiang stepped forward, patted Xing Tian's sturdy shoulder, looked at Hou Yi's handsome face, touched Chi You's hard ox horns, nodded to Xiangliu, and then gave a gentle smile to Kuafu and Jiu Feng.

"Good! Good! Good!!!"

Di Jiang said the word "good" three times, an unspeakable joy surging in his heart!

"From today onwards, we seven siblings shall be the masters of Mount Buzhou, the inheritors of Pangu's True Lineage! We shall support each other and together protect this Primordial World transformed by Father God!"

Feeling this long-lost warmth and liveliness of home, Di Jiang felt that everything he had done since his transmigration might not have been just for strengthening himself, but more for protecting this hard-won bond before him.

Within the Pangu Divine Hall, blood essence steamed, laughter began to emerge, and a harmonious scene unfolded. The core of the Witch Clan was quietly consolidating in a way completely different from its original trajectory. And Di Jiang, in the truest sense, was no longer alone.
