Within the secret realm space, the residual chaos qi dispersed, and the clear and turbid qi churned.

The clear qi merged into the primordial spirit, while the turbid qi nourished the physical body.

"Kun Earth is yin, Qian Heaven is yang. The tangible is yin, the intangible is yang. Yin and yang interact, giving birth to the myriad phenomena. Yin Yang Dao Integration, the profound principles shine forth."

Tongtian opened his eyes, Grand Unity magic power flowing all over his body, then transforming into a black Daoist robe that draped over his form. Within his eyes, black and white Yin Yang Divine Radiance swirled.

Clearly, after absorbing the essence of the Pangu Jade Marrow, Tongtian had obtained the imprint of the Yin Yang laws within it, and his physical bloodline had also transformed into the Yin Yang Law Bloodline, placing him on equal footing with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, likewise possessing the potential to attain the Dao through the physical body.

"Brother, after thousands of years in secluded cultivation, your strength has greatly increased. Yet all the opportunities in this secret realm have fallen into our hands. It is time to emerge from seclusion."

Sensing the aura emanating from Tongtian, Xuanqing Xuanyuan nodded slightly.

The Yin Yang laws were not entirely unexpected.

Tongtian and he had not taken form long ago, and they had previously been consolidating their cultivation realms on Kunlun Mountain. Apart from the Upper Pure Primordial Spirit they were born with, the two Daos in which they had the highest attainment and which best suited them were undoubtedly the Great Dao of Thunder and the Yin Yang Dao.

"Indeed, it is time to emerge. Fourth Brother, you still lack a suitable treasure in hand. Buzhou Mountain is filled with opportunities everywhere; we will surely find something fitting."

Earlier, when Xuanqing Xuanyuan had brought Tongtian in, they had taken the original path opened the first time, so he had not used the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler again. This led the latter to believe he still had no treasures to his name.

"Good."

Xuanqing Xuanyuan nodded. The two brothers exchanged a glance and then left this secret realm space.

Innate spiritual roots and innate spiritual treasures might not yet be ripe for emergence, but with a harvest like the Pangu Jade Marrow already in hand, Xuanqing Xuanyuan could not help but feel a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Buzhou Mountain was a top-tier blessed land of the Primordial World, with countless treasures yet to appear. There might even be opportunities related to Pangu.

Relying on their Clear Qi Nascent Soul and Turbid Qi Physical Body, the two brothers' compatibility with all manner of Pangu-related opportunities surpassed even that of the original Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

In terms of primordial spirit, they were of the Four Pure Ones' foundation; in terms of physical body, they stood equal to the Ancestral Witches.

Combining the two, they could well be called Little Pangu!

"Eh, Fourth Brother, it seems an innate spiritual treasure is emerging over there!"

Upper Clarity Qi and Profound Clarity Qi spread and intertwined, the void rippling. Tongtian, holding a pair of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures before him in defense, was followed closely by Xuanqing Xuanyuan.

No sooner had they left the secret realm than Tongtian looked towards the distant place where four colors dyed the clouds at the horizon. Sensing the profound and majestic Four Symbols Divine Might within, his face lit up with joy.

Under his primordial spirit's perception, the might of the emerging treasure was in no way inferior to the Fishing Drum or the Purple Lightning Hammer, clearly reaching the category of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Fourth Brother, this treasure is destined to be yours. But it seems there are other Great Divine Powers guarding it. No matter—watch as I drive them away and claim the treasure for you!"

A sharp glint flashed in Tongtian's eyes. Then, stepping the Upper Pure Gang Step, he poured Grand Unity magic power and Yin Yang Qi into the pair of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, ready to charge forth.

His cultivation had risen to the mid-Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage, his innate foundation had been supplemented, and his physical body had awakened the Yin Yang Law Bloodline.

Compared to when he had first descended the mountain, Tongtian's overall strength had increased by no less than tenfold!

Even if he were to fight Qiang Liang and Xi Zi, those two brothers, again, he was confident of victory!

After all, the Ancestral Witches had not taken form long ago either. Apart from a few like Di Jiang, most were only at the early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage.

Seeing this, Xuanqing Xuanyuan was also somewhat moved.

This elder brother was reliable—when something came up, he truly stepped up!

"You two Daoists ahead—are you Upper Pure Tongtian and Xuanqing Xuanyuan?"

Just then, a rough voice rang out.

"Brother, hold your hand for now."

Xuanqing Xuanyuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Then he saw two beams of divine light, one red and one blue, riding the Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi as they rushed over.

The divine light flashed, transforming into two burly men who landed before them.

"We are indeed those two brothers. Might you two be Gonggong, the Water Ancestral Witch, and Zhurong, the Fire Ancestral Witch?"

Across the vast Primordial World Earth, cultivating the primordial spirit was the mainstream. Those who absorbed Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi seemed to be only the Wu race. Considering that the Wu race had not yet formally established itself, and the water and fire law divine patterns on the two men, Xuanqing Xuanyuan recognized their origins.

"Hahahaha, so it really is you."

"Fifth Brother and Eighth Brother told us about it. Tongtian's thunder techniques are quite impressive. We fought and became friends—a case of regretting we hadn't met sooner."

"After their battle with you, those two went back and went into secluded cultivation for three thousand years. Their insights into the Great Dao of Thunder grew ever deeper, and their strength advanced further. They've been saying they want to invite you to Pangu Hall as guests."

Zhurong laughed heartily, expressing goodwill.

This move, however, left Gonggong a bit baffled.

Hadn't they agreed to drive them away and wait for Sixth Brother to try and claim the final treasure?

Though Tongtian had a decent relationship with Fifth and Eighth Brother, how could that compare to Ninth Brother, their own blood sibling?

If Sixth Brother couldn't do it, they could let Ninth Brother try.

Ninth Brother, Rushou, was the Metal Ancestral Witch, wielding the Innate Golden Halberd, the White Tiger Blade.

"Pangu Hall was transformed from Father God's heart. It is beneficial for comprehending laws. You have done Fifth and Eighth Brother a kindness, and we siblings always repay favors. Please do not refuse."

Shooting a glance at Gonggong, Zhurong continued his invitation.

Though Tongtian and Xuanqing Xuanyuan had concealed their auras, the former's two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures could not be hidden, and the bloodline aura of the same origin was still sensed by Zhurong.

Zhurong, though the Fire Ancestral Witch, appeared hot-tempered on the surface but was actually rough with a hidden subtlety, far calmer than Gonggong.

A mere innate spiritual treasure—if Ninth Brother gets it, it's a nice bonus; if he doesn't, it's hardly a problem.

But if his guess was right, and Tongtian also possessed a Law Bloodline, then the Twelve Ancestral Witches would become thirteen, and his siblings would gain one more. Wasn't that far better than any treasure?

Zhurong thought to himself.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were bound together in solidarity, their bond far stronger than that of the Four Pangu Purities. Truly, when one prospered, all prospered; when one fell, all fell.

After all, ever since the rift in origins and strength had emerged, though never spoken aloud, an unspoken split had formed into the Upper Two Pure Ones and the Lower Two Pure Ones...

Among the Witch Clan, aside from the Twelve Ancestral Witches themselves, even the few Great Witches of no small power born from their essence blood could not catch their eye.

Only those Law Bloodlines born from the same source as Pangu Essence Blood were true kin!

"This... I will certainly accept the invitation of brothers Qiang Liang and Xi Zi in the future. But with a treasure emerging, my Fourth Brother here is in dire need of a protective artifact, so I cannot go."

Tongtian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

The cultivation environment of Pangu Hall was indeed tempting, and if he could spar once more with the Lei Dian Two Ancestral Witches, his Dao insights might even advance rapidly.

But—

How could he let his Fourth Brother miss out on a rare Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?

Tongtian thought Zhurong was using the condition of entering Pangu Hall for cultivation to make him and his brother voluntarily give up the fight for this treasure.

If it were Tongtian himself, he could let it go. Qiang Liang and Xi Zi were indeed decent folk, worth befriending.

But when it came to his Fourth Brother, that was a different matter. No matter the friendship, it had to take a back seat!

"Haha, a small matter, just an innate spiritual treasure, right? My brothers and I will stand guard for you. If you can take it, then take it by all means."

"Our Ancestral Witch bodies are comparable to innate spiritual treasures, so we don't really need to rely on external objects."

Zhurong waved his hand generously and stepped aside. From his demeanor, he seemed ready to directly give up the final treasure nurtured by the Four Symbols Divine Tree.

"Third Brother, this..."

Gonggong's thick brows furrowed deeply as he moved to object.

"Listen to me. Would I ever harm my siblings?"

Zhurong said in a grave tone.

Such a decision—even if Sixth Brother and Ninth Brother were here, they wouldn't oppose it.

What was a treasure compared to a brother?

If this one was truly a child born from Father God's essence blood, then they were blood kin! A mere external object was nothing more than a big brother's gift to a younger brother upon first meeting.

Hearing this, Gonggong fell silent and also stepped aside.

Conflict was one thing, but he knew that no Ancestral Witch would ever treat brotherly bonds as a joke. That was the absolute trust among the Ancestral Witches!

"Ah?"

The Water and Fire Ancestral Witches' behavior left Tongtian stunned for a moment, a bit puzzled.

"In that case, many thanks to you two brothers."

"We will certainly visit Pangu Hall together afterward."

Xuanyuan, however, had some guess about Zhurong's attitude. He cupped his hands in thanks and did not stand on ceremony.

He had just been thinking of exchanging views with the Twelve Ancestral Witches on the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun. Since the Water and Fire Ancestral Witches were now inviting them, he might as well accept.

Though he and Tongtian now possessed the physical origins of Ancestral Witches, compared to the twelve born from heaven and earth, they still lacked a body-tempering cultivation method to study and draw from.
