"Nine Revolutions Profound Technique", "Indestructible True Spirit"

Within Pangu Hall, chaotic mist swirled thickly. Twelve towering figures sat cross-legged like ancient mountain ranges, their forms flickering in and out of shadow as cascading light of the Three Thousand Great Daos poured down from the hall's ceiling.

Di Jiang, the Space Ancestral Shaman, stared wide-eyed, his gaze locked on Tongtian in his black robe. The Space Law patterns rippling across his body sent the void into violent tremors.

The moment Tongtian had stepped into Pangu Hall, Di Jiang had sensed a faint yet unmistakable aura of the Yin Yang Law Bloodline on him—a bloodline that pulsed with the same origin as the Twelve Ancestral Witches' own!

"Brother Tongtian... are you the thirteenth Ancestral Witch?!"

Di Jiang's low roar shook the space within the hall.

"What?!"

"Besides us, has the Primordial World Earth birthed another Ancestral Witch?"

"This aura is unmistakable—it's the Great Dao of Yin Yang. Though its laws differ from ours, it still bears Father God's seal!"

Xuan Ming, the Ice Ancestral Witch, trembled slightly, her icy wings quivering.

Zhu Jiuyin, the Time Ancestral Witch, rippled with temporal eddies in his crimson vertical pupils.

One by one, the Ancestral Witches rose in shock. After carefully sensing the aura radiating from Tongtian, they confirmed that their eldest brother Di Jiang's judgment was not mistaken.

"Heh, I knew I wasn't wrong. Brother Tongtian truly possesses a Law Bloodline—he is our flesh-and-blood kin!"

Zhurong crossed his arms, his face brimming with pride as he watched his siblings' reactions.

"No wonder Third Brother gave them the White Tiger Token. So that's how it is."

Hearing Zhurong's words, Gonggong suddenly understood, and he no longer had any objection to Xuanyuan taking the White Tiger Token.

To gain one more blood relative, even if it cost a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—or even if they never obtained another Innate Spiritual Treasure again—it would still be worth it!

"Everyone, do not be alarmed. My Fourth Brother Xuanyuan has also awakened a Law Bloodline. In fact, it is thanks to his care that I possess an Ancestral Witch body."

The warm, untainted brotherly bond moved Tongtian slightly. After exchanging a glance with Xuanyuan, he raised his hand with a faint smile, and Yin Yang Qi swirled around him, transforming into a slowly rotating Taiji Diagram.

"..."

A single stone stirred a thousand ripples. At these words, the atmosphere in the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Having a thirteenth Ancestral Witch was already an immense surprise—and now there was a fourteenth?

"Everyone, my Third Brother and I Formed and Born on Kunlun Mountain. In terms of birth time, we are not later than any of you. But how should we determine the order of seniority?"

Xuanyuan clasped his hands, dispersing the concealment of the Chaos Pearl. A wave of Space Law fluctuations spread from his body along with the patterns.

Inside Pangu Hall, the Heavenly Dao and karma were also cut off, so there was no need to use the Chaos Pearl for further concealment.

"A Space Law Bloodline?"

Sensing the familiar Law Fluctuation, Di Jiang was even more shocked. But after a moment's thought, he decided not to rank them for now:

"Both brothers were Formed and Born from Father God's Primordial Spirit and have obtained a Law Bloodline. You inherit both Primordial Spirit and flesh from Pangu's Legacy, making you more orthodox than us. You should rightfully be our elder brothers."

"However, our own order was naturally set from birth—perhaps it was Father God's will. Moreover, since we wish no entanglement with the other two Pure Ones, let us simply address each other as brothers for now."

Though the Twelve Ancestral Witches rarely left Pangu Hall, they knew that on Kunlun Mountain there was a Yu Qing Yuan Shi who claimed to be the Pangu Orthodox Lineage.

Di Jiang and Houtu were calm enough, but the hot-tempered ones among them had long wanted to have it out with this so-called Yu Qing and Tai Qing.

"That works well."

After a moment's thought, Xuanyuan did not refuse.

With both Primordial Spirit and flesh as the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, if they were to truly rank by seniority, he and Tongtian would be like Little Pangu incarnate—qualified to be uncles to the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

In fact, even Laozi and Yuanshi would be half a step lower in birth and foundation compared to the two brothers.

After refining the Pangu Jade Marrow and receiving Pangu's Legacy, it was a direct super-boost...

Still, compared to the flashy title of Little Pangu, Xuanyuan preferred to keep a low profile.

At this point, Hongjun had not yet merged with the Heavenly Dao and had few restrictions—he could go all out.

And Xuanyuan was only at the mid-stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm—far from being able to take on that old schemer Hongjun.

Zhu Jiuyin, the second eldest, slowly opened his crimson vertical pupils. Time Law coiled around him, forming a river of light flowing backward: "Two new Ancestral Witches... this is a new opportunity left to us by Father God Pangu."

His words were not spoken lightly. The Twelve Ancestral Witches formed the Twelve Heavenly Gods Fiend Formation. Adding two more Ancestral Witches to that foundation would multiply its power far beyond simply doubling it!

Even if they could not expand the Twelve Heavenly Gods Fiend Formation into a Fourteen Heavenly Gods Fiend Formation, having two extra Ancestral Witches as substitutes could prevent the crisis of suddenly losing one and being unable to form the formation.

"Second Brother speaks true!"

"Gaining two more blood kin is a great joy and a great opportunity!"

Cheers erupted in Pangu Hall. Zhurong's flames shot straight to the ceiling, Gonggong summoned Law Water to form celebratory waves, Qiang Liang and Xi Zi brought Lightning and Thunder, Tianwu's gentle breezes wrapped around everyone...

After a long while, Zhu Jiuyin clapped his hands and smiled: "In that case, why don't we teach them the complete Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, helping the two brothers temper their flesh and awaken their bloodlines!"

At these words, the other Ancestral Witches chimed in agreement.

"Since this is such a great opportunity, fellow siblings, why not hold a Dao discussion together? We can also further perfect the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique," Xuanyuan suggested.

If he could engage in a Dao discussion with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, even if he couldn't fully comprehend all the laws they had each realized, he could at least plant the seeds of these laws within the Chaos World, laying a foundation for future cultivation.

"It is time to perfect it."

"The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was jointly deduced and refined by us twelve siblings through shared exchange and cooperation. Now, with the addition of two brothers, we can take it even further."

Di Jiang nodded.

The group then sat cross-legged on the ground. The twelve Ancestral Witches each displayed their divine abilities—Gou Mang spurred the growth of spirit trees, Xuan Ming released chilling cold... one by one, they traced the meridians of operation within the void.

"Heaven is Yang, Earth is Yin. The Ancestral Witches' physical bodies refine the Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi to become Yang, while Pangu's Primordial Spirit gathers the Heavenly Fiend Pure Qi to become Yin. Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, mutually dependent—Yang within Yin, Yin within Yang—this is the Great Dao."

Tongtian spoke with eloquence, every word a pearl of wisdom, expounding the ultimate principles of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang.

These words also set the Ancestral Witches deep in thought.

Whether it was the original Four Pangu Purities or the twelve of them, the Ancestral Witches, each had their own emphasis, never truly achieving a balance of Yin and Yang.

The Four Purities were better off—if their physical bodies were weak, they could rely on treasures for protection.

But the twelve Ancestral Witches had a serious problem without a Primordial Spirit: they could not use ordinary spiritual treasures or ultimate treasures, and they were easily schemed against. Once their physical bodies were severed, with nowhere for their true spirits to reside, they would be completely and utterly dead.

The lack of a Primordial Spirit was the greatest shortcoming of the twelve Ancestral Witches.

This session of Dao discussion lasted ten thousand years. The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique grew more and more perfected, once again awakening part of its potential that pointed directly toward the Origin, enough to support the Ancestral Witches in cultivating to the limit of a Golden Immortal of the Origin.

A Golden Immortal of the Origin corresponds to a Quasi-Saint who has severed the Three Corpses. The limit of a Golden Immortal of the Origin corresponds to the Quasi-Saint Perfection achieved by severing all three corpses.

Severing the Three Corpses to Prove Dao—when all three corpses are severed, it is the Great Extinction. In this state, one's mana and divine abilities are both extremely terrifying.

As for the Three Corpses United... that directly proves Dao Hunyuan.

"Though the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is powerful, without a Primordial Spirit, you all will find it difficult to avoid the calculations of the Heavenly Dao. Siblings, would you be willing to cultivate the Indestructible True Spirit method?"

When the Dao discussion ended, Xuanyuan stroked his chin and spoke in a grave tone.

In the past, the twelve Ancestral Witches had not cultivated to their peak before they were schemed against and fell in the Kalpa Tribulation.

Otherwise, with twelve peak Golden Immortals of the Origin—each comparable to a Quasi-Saint Perfection—joining forces to set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods Fiend Formation and summon Pangu's True Body...

Even a Saint would be helpless!

And this Indestructible True Spirit method was a nascent technique that Xuanyuan had deduced by planting the laws of the twelve Ancestral Witches within the Chaos World of the Chaos Pearl.

It would allow the twelve Ancestral Witches to cultivate an Indestructible True Spirit, resolving the drawback of having no Primordial Spirit!

From then on, there would be no more weaknesses!
