Ancestor Witches Awaken, Li Yi Appears

The immensity of Buzhou Mountain was indescribable, spanning hundreds of billions of miles. Even though the Kirin Clan used Buzhou as their base, they only occupied a portion of the mountain range where the Spiritual Qi was relatively dense.

Countless powerful beings were in seclusion within Buzhou Mountain. Although the Kirin Clan was currently powerful, they clearly did not wish to offend too many strong individuals. Moreover, there was no need to do so. The Hong Huang was vast and abundant, more than enough for the Three Tribes to divide.

At this moment, within an incredibly vast and mysterious cave on Buzhou Mountain, "Bang! Bang! Bang!!" The twelve immense heartbeats echoed continuously, growing faster and faster.

If not for a faint golden restriction shielding the sounds within the cave dwelling, the immense noise would have been audible for a hundred miles outside.

In the Blood Prison City, within a Small World, the Main Body suddenly opened its eyes. Two faint golden lights flashed within its silver-white pupils. A vast and noble pressure emanated from the colossal blood-colored tower.

The Main Body tore space with its hands, creating a black hole. It took a step in and vanished. The black hole gradually disappeared, and space returned to its calm state.

On Penglai Island, Li Yi was currently seated beneath a spiritual tree. Several lotus root children were playing around him, creating a somewhat leisurely scene.

Before him, space rippled silently, forming a pitch-black void. A blurry figure emerged and appeared before Li Yi, startling the lotus root children. They grabbed Li Yi's clothes and hid behind him in fear.

Because the clone and the Main Body shared information, Li Yi knew the Twelve Ancestral Witches were about to awaken the moment the Main Body appeared.

"It's time to make further arrangements," Li Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He nodded at the Main Body. "Let's go!"

The Main Body said nothing more. It directly cast a light screen, enveloping Li Yi, and then tore through space to travel. When they reappeared, they were already inside the immense cave on Buzhou Mountain.

Twelve colossal blood cocoons, each ten thousand feet tall, appeared before Li Yi. Ancient and desolate auras emanated from them. The "Bang! Bang! Bang!!" heartbeats continued, as if nurturing twelve ancient Fierce Beasts.

Although he had already learned the situation from the Main Body's information, seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sigh. The Twelve Ancestral Witches were indeed blessed by heaven. Judging by the aura they exuded, it was likely they would possess the cultivation of a peak Golden Immortal the moment they were born.

One must realize that even powerful beings like the Four Supremes had cultivated step by step. It was only through various opportunities and noble origins that they cultivated incredibly quickly, with terrifying Spiritual Power and magical abilities. However, they could not directly bypass the Golden Immortal stage.

Of course, this did not mean the Twelve Ancestral Witches had better innate talent than the Four Supremes. On the contrary, Li Yi, born from the Spirit of Chaos, Hongjun, Yang Mei, and Luo Hou, who was born from the aggregation of residual souls of the Spirit of Chaos, all had far superior innate talent than the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

However, Pangu was incredibly powerful in his life, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches received too much of his legacy. This was why the Twelve Ancestral Witches might possess the cultivation of a peak Golden Immortal the moment they appeared.

Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but ponder, "If the Twelve Ancestral Witches are born with the cultivation of a peak Golden Immortal, it's likely the Three Pure Ones have also reached that stage. They should have transformed by now!"

"Roar, roar!!"

Twelve immense roars echoed from the blood cocoons, as if twelve colossal savage beasts were howling at the moon. "Bang, bang, bang..." The twelve blood cocoons pulsed like gigantic hearts, growing larger and then smaller.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." Cracks began to appear on the colossal blood cocoons, widening gradually. Finally, "Bang!!!" The blood cocoons completely shattered. The residual fluctuations stirred up clouds of dust, which gradually settled, revealing twelve colossal figures before Li Yi.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches had finally transformed. Their forms varied.

One was shaped like a yellow sac, red as cinnabar fire, with six feet and four wings, formless and faceless; this was Dijiang (Space and Speed).

The second was as green as emerald bamboo, with a bird's body and a human face, standing on two dragons; this was Jumang (Wood).

The third had a human face and a tiger's body, clad in golden scales, with wings on its shoulders, a snake in its left ear, and standing on two dragons; this was Rushou (Metal).

The fourth had a python's head and a human's body, clad in black scales, its feet on a black dragon, its hands entwined with a green python; this was Gonggong (Water).

The fifth had a beast's head and a human's body, clad in red scales, with a fire snake in its ear and its feet on a fire dragon; this was Zhurong (Fire).

The sixth had eight heads and a human face, with a tiger's body and ten tails; this was Tianwu (Wind).

The seventh had a snake in its mouth and held a snake in its hand. It had a tiger's head and a human's body, with four hooves and long elbows; this was Qiangliang (Thunder).

The eighth had a human face and a bird's body, with a green snake in its ear and holding a red snake in its hand; this was Xizi (Lightning).

The ninth had a human face and a snake's body, entirely red; this was Zhujiuyin (Time).

The tenth had a human face and a beast's body, with dog-like ears, and a green snake in its ear; this was Shebishi (Weather).

The eleventh had a human body and a snake's tail, with seven hands on its back and two hands on its chest, holding a soaring snake in each hand; this was Houtu (Earth).

The twelfth was a ferocious giant beast, covered in bone spurs. This was Xuanming (Rain).

Even before transforming, the Twelve Ancestral Witches knew of the Main Body's existence. They dared not delay. Dijiang, Jumang, Gonggong, and others transformed into ten burly men, while Houtu and Xuanming transformed into two dignified and beautiful women. They approached the Main Body and bowed slightly. "Greetings, Great Venerable." Their gazes towards Li Yi, however, held a hint of strangeness.

Li Yi smiled slightly. "The Main Body and I emerged as one. We are one yet two, two yet one."

The Twelve Ancestral Witches looked towards the Main Body. Seeing its slight nod, they respectfully addressed Li Yi, "Greetings, Great Venerable." However, their expressions were inevitably somewhat strange.

Li Yi pondered for a moment. "How about this, from now on, you can call me Green Lotus Sword Master. Also, do not let anyone know of the connection between the Main Body and me. Do not reveal any information about the Main Body either."

Although Dijiang and the others did not understand Li Yi's intentions, they all agreed.

Suddenly, Li Yi recalled the secret legend from later generations that the Witch Clan could not cultivate the Dao. He nodded at the Main Body. The Main Body understood and its eyes suddenly emitted a pure white light.

Through shared vision, Li Yi discovered that the souls of Dijiang and the others were different from ordinary people. Not only were they filled with malevolent energy, but they were also distributed throughout their entire bodies, tightly integrated with their physical forms. No wonder they could not cultivate the immortal Dao.

Furthermore, it seemed that in later generations, the Witch Clan relied on a sliver of Pangu's inheritance to grope their way towards a specialized method of cultivating the physical body. However, since they could not cultivate the Dao and were not adept at divination, the techniques they created had many flaws, and few achieved success.

However, with the Main Body now present, Li Yi was not too concerned. The Main Body's divination abilities were absolutely top-notch in the entire Hong Huang world. Coupled with its focus on cultivating the physical body, it would be easy to create a reasonable cultivation technique for Dijiang and the others.

Li Yi looked at Dijiang and the others and suddenly realized he seemed to have overlooked something very important. Why were there only the Twelve Ancestral Witches? Where were the other members of the Witch Clan? Even if the other members were formed from the Ancestral Witches' residual blood essence, it was impossible to create hundreds of billions of witch people.

As Li Yi pondered, a terrifying fluctuation appeared in the space where the Twelve Ancestral Witches had just transformed. The space rippled with waves.

Li Yi's heart skipped a beat. What else was hidden here that even the Main Body could not detect? He already had a vague guess. If it was truly what he suspected, then they had struck an immense stroke of luck.

Thinking of this, Li Yi's heart couldn't help but race.
