The Twelve Ancestor Witches had appeared here because Chen Tian had told them that a supreme treasure would soon emerge from this place.
Naturally, they believed their thirteenth brother without question.
They had come here and waited for thousands of years. Sure enough, an Innate Supreme Treasure had emerged.
They just hadn't expected the Four Pure Ones to take it first.
"You little thieves! How dare you steal our Witch Clan's treasure? Hand over the magic treasures you're holding right now, or we'll kill you!"
Gonggong roared at the Four Pure Ones, revealing the might of Grand Unity Perfection. The four of them turned pale.
Among the Four Pure Ones, Laozi was the strongest, but his cultivation was only at Late Grand Unity. He was no match for an Ancestor Witch.
But as Pangu's orthodox descendants in the Prehistoric World, they weren't about to back down.
When Tongtian heard Gonggong call them thieves, he flew into a rage and cursed, "I'll f*** you! We are Pangu's orthodox descendants!"
"These three treasures resonated with us. How can they possibly belong to your Witch Clan?"
Zhu Rong laughed at that. "The entire Prehistoric World was created from our Father God. Naturally, everything on Buzhou Mountain belongs to our Witch Clan!"
The Three Pure Ones hadn't expected the Ancestor Witches to be so unreasonable. Meanwhile, Li Shou was trying to figure out how to get the Three Pure Ones out of there.
He knew what they didn't.
The Twelve Ancestor Witches were all one-track-minded, brainless brutes.
Trying to reason with them was like playing a lute to a cow!
"Hurry up and hand over the treasures, or none of you are leaving Buzhou Mountain today!" Gonggong urged.
Chen Tian had told them that the Three Pure Ones were incarnations of their Father God's Primordial Spirit, and bore the merit of creating the world. They couldn't be killed.
But they'd never heard of the young man beside the Three Pure Ones. He must have been close to them.
Dijiang reached out and grabbed Li Shou.
The Three Pure Ones immediately tried to fight Dijiang, but the Ancestor Witches held them back.
"Hand over the treasures, or he dies!"
Yuanshi's face turned livid. "You claim to be Pangu's orthodox descendants, yet resort to such despicable methods. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
Gonggong picked his nose, then flicked a booger right onto Yuanshi's face. "So what? If you've got what it takes, fight me!"
Yuanshi: ...
"Let our fourth brother go. We'll give you our treasures!" Tongtian Cult Master said urgently.
"So he's the Three Pure Ones' fourth brother? Strange. Didn't Chen Tian say Father God's Primordial Spirit only split into you Three Pure Ones?" Zhu Rong said suspiciously.
Though the Ancestor Witches had Primordial Spirits, they focused on cultivating their bodies and had absorbed too much baleful energy. Their Primordial Spirits were incredibly weak.
So they couldn't discern Li Shou's origins—and couldn't be bothered to investigate anyone else's.
As beings born from Pangu's essence blood, their own origins were naturally among the finest in the Prehistoric World.
In the end,
Laozi and the others handed over three Top-grade Spiritual Treasures, along with several other Innate Spiritual Treasures of various grades, and finally got Li Shou back.
The Ancestor Witches kept their word. Once they had the treasures, they turned and left, leaving the Four Pure Ones standing there in stunned confusion.
The Twelve Ancestor Witches returned to Pangu Hall.
They placed all the Spiritual Treasures they'd plundered in front of Chen Tian.
When Chen Tian saw the assorted Innate Spiritual Treasures the Ancestor Witches had brought back, he was dumbfounded.
Good heavens.
Had his twelve brothers cleared out the entire Buzhou Mountain?
"Chen Tian, what do you think? Are you satisfied with what your big brother did?" Gonggong patted his chest and asked.
Chen Tian gave an awkward smile. "Satisfied, satisfied..."
Sure enough, while he'd been refining the Ancestor Witches' essence blood in Pangu Hall, the Twelve Ancestor Witches had made countless enemies outside.
He'd asked them to gather Innate Spiritual Treasures to increase his own combat strength, so he could face the calamities that would come upon the world.
The Ancestor Witches didn't cultivate their Primordial Spirits, but Chen Tian, despite being an Ancestor Witch, could cultivate both his body and Primordial Spirit thanks to the system.
That meant he could draw upon the power of Spiritual Treasures.
The Ancestor Witches briefly told Chen Tian what had happened lately. When they mentioned Li Shou, the fourth Pure One of the Prehistoric World, his expression changed.
"The Four Pure Ones of the Prehistoric World?"
Chen Tian raised an eyebrow. Was this a butterfly effect caused by his transmigration into the Prehistoric World?
Or... was this the Heavenly Dao's scheme, meant to balance the gap between the Ancestor Witches and the Three Pure Ones, so the Ancestor Witches wouldn't just kill them?
"He's nothing but an Early Grand Unity ant," said Xuanming, who had been silent until then.
The Ancestor Witches had peerless bodies and were invincible among those of the same realm. An Early Grand Unity cultivator was no different from an ant before their bodies, which had reached Grand Unity Perfection.
Chen Tian smiled politely.
His brothers and sisters sure were confident...
He just wondered whether those two Golden Crows would undergo any changes, too.
As the Witch Clan's strategist, Chen Tian had to consider its future.
Though he hadn't stopped the Witch Clan from devouring the living beings of the Prehistoric World to grow stronger, he wouldn't let the Ancestor Witches commit any truly heinous acts, either.
"Hahaha, brothers and sisters, we should get back to cultivating."
Chen Tian had already reached Grand Unity Perfection. He was only a hair's breadth from becoming a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal.
Hongjun would probably attain sainthood within this next era.
After he preached, the strength of the entire Prehistoric World would rise by a great deal. If the Witch Clan couldn't break through to Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, its position as the world's hegemon might be threatened.
Lunar Star.
Two innate lifeforms had been born there.
Xi He and Chang Xi.
Xi He was completely bewildered. She and her younger sister, Chang Xi, had always stayed on the Lunar Star and never gone out. How had Tai Yi managed to get entangled with them?
Outside the Lunar Star,
Tai Yi straightened his clothes, then called inside, "Younger Sister Xi He, Tai Yi requests an audience."
Tai Yi had cultivated desperately these past few days and had finally succeeded in taking form.
The first thing he did after taking form was come to the Lunar Star to visit the sisters, Xi He and Chang Xi.
As long as he could get the sisters pregnant with his little Golden Crows, his Many Sons, Much Fortune System would reward him with a wealth of benefits.
Then he could kick Hongjun and punch the Heavenly Dao. Wouldn't that be easy?
Heh heh heh!
Younger Sister Xi He, Big Brother Tai Yi is coming!
When Xi He didn't respond, Tai Yi took it as tacit permission and went straight into the Lunar Star.
As an expert in getting into girls' pants, he was confident he could win Xi He over in two sentences.
When Xi He saw Tai Yi barge in, she turned pale with fright.
This Golden Crow was so brazen!
Chang Xi, standing beside her, was furious too.
Because she was a Transmigrator! The system she had bound to herself was the God-tier Stick Together System. As long as she cuddled up to Xi He, she could obtain a huge number of rewards.
She wouldn't let anyone take Xi He away from her!
Besides, in all the Prehistoric World novels she'd read as a Transmigrator, Di Jun and Tai Yi both met their ends.
Having Xi He form a Heavenly Marriage with Di Jun would be no different from sending a sheep into a tiger's den.
Damn it, why had I been born a woman?
Chang Xi looked at her petite, loli-like figure and the exposed guardhouse, and her anger flared.
Before transmigrating, she'd been a strapping seven-foot-tall man.
Sure, she could cuddle up to Xi He all she wanted, but this was a twisted kind of love!
She hated that she couldn't make Xi He bear her a child or two.
As for Tai Yi?
He was surely here to arrange a match with Di Jun.
No way. I, Chang Xi, won't allow it!
