Ancestral Witches Don't Establish Clans, Quietly Amass Great Wealth

"Without a primordial spirit, you can't deduce heavenly secrets or understand the will of heaven—it's easy to be schemed against. But I wonder, what exactly is this 'Indestructible True Spirit' method that Brother Xuanyuan speaks of? And what effects does it have?"

Di Jiang asked impatiently.

"Not cultivating a primordial spirit doesn't mean you can't cultivate the true spirit. The primordial spirit is like an outer garment for the true spirit, allowing it to return after the physical body falls. But without a primordial spirit, does the true spirit have nowhere to rest?"

"Without a body and without a primordial spirit, is the true spirit doomed to dissipate between heaven and earth?"

"If that's the case, then we simply put another layer of clothing over the primordial spirit!"

Xuanyuan's tone was resolute, every word striking like a gem.

In his conception, the 'Indestructible True Spirit' had three layers. The first was to cultivate a layer of indestructible willpower around the fragile true spirit.

To put it plainly, whether primordial spirit or true spirit, both are forms of consciousness.

Consciousness is the soldier; willpower is the general.

As long as the will is firm, and a layer of indestructible willpower is condensed outside the primordial spirit, then even if the physical body is lost, the true spirit will be protected by that indestructible will—even more stable than the primordial spirit of the immortal path!

Once the first layer was cultivated, the Twelve Ancestral Witches would have no weaknesses. They could use the power of willpower to refine and control treasures, imprint true spirit marks into them, and even deduce heavenly secrets.

Willpower, consciousness, and primordial spirit—all three are forces of the same root and origin, merely different forms of expression.

After cultivating indestructible willpower, they could begin the second layer of cultivation.

This second layer was Yin Yang Mutual Aid—indestructible willpower and the physical body complementing and merging with each other. At this stage, the cultivation of indestructible willpower could truly be said to have Reached the Hall and Entered the Room, equivalent to Perfection Primordial Golden Immortal.

As for the third layer, Xuanyuan had not yet deduced it.

The Ancestral Witches originally had the potential to prove Dao through the physical body. By cultivating the 'Indestructible True Spirit,' they could simultaneously walk the path of proving Dao through the true spirit, similar to proving Dao through the primordial spirit.

Xuanyuan's hope for the Twelve Ancestral Witches was not to achieve three proofs, but at least two. That way, after proving Dao Hunyuan, they would be dual-cultivation Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Origin, their strength absolutely surpassing ordinary Heavenly Dao Saints.

He and Di Jiang both cultivated the Space Great Dao, but the latter was different from Yang Mei and would not become an obstacle in Xuanyuan's Dao Struggle.

This was because the law bloodline talent they inherited from Pangu was inherently incomplete, inferior to Yang Mei's Space Demon God foundation. It had fallen in grade, at most reaching the Heavenly Dao level, with no possibility of the Dao Level.

Unless, like Xuanyuan, they possessed a Chaos Supreme Treasure like the Chaos Pearl, allowing continuous evolution and perfection...

Still, although the Dao Level was out of reach, as long as the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not die young, reaching the Primordial Golden Immortal realm was absolutely no problem.

The prerequisite was that they could not enter the Kalpa Tribulation too early, nor fall into Hongjun's schemes.

Hongjun had the Six Saints of Heavenly Dao. Though there would be changes, he would surely gather six. Xuanyuan felt it was perfectly reasonable to use the Twelve Ancestral Witches to later create a human path of twelve Hunyuan with the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Moreover, because they lacked a primordial spirit, the Ancestral Witches could not cultivate primordial spirit techniques or comprehend the Heavenly Dao to become saints. But this misfortune also brought a blessing—they were not subject to the Heavenly Dao's restraints and could kill freely, like Gonggong smashing the Pillar of Heaven.

Weren't they the perfect enforcers?

"Put another layer of clothing?"

The Ancestral Witches exchanged glances, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly grew heavy.

Xuanyuan's gaze swept over them, and he continued, "By cultivating indestructible willpower with the true spirit, even if the physical body is destroyed, it can be reconstituted. In this way, you can all leap beyond the predetermined cause and effect..."

His words did not trigger any law phenomena, but they stirred a storm in the hearts of every Ancestral Witch. Yet they all remained silent, listening attentively.

Even Tongtian was completely focused.

Though he had a primordial spirit—the most supreme Pangu Primordial Spirit foundation—if he could condense an additional layer of indestructible willpower around the periphery of his primordial spirit...

Wouldn't that mean that in terms of primordial spirit mastery alone, he could surpass Laozi and Yuanshi?

Essence, Qi, Spirit—the 'Essence' came from the Ancestral Witches' physical bodies, the 'Qi' from Grand Unity Magic Power, and the 'Spirit' from the Clear Qi Nascent Soul, plus indestructible willpower!

It was comprehensive power in every aspect!

While Xuanyuan was lecturing in Pangu Hall, the Primordial World was not at peace. The Calamity Qi between heaven and earth was constantly accumulating, and slaughter kept erupting.

As for the All Stars of the Primordial World Starry Sky, they could be divided into four grades based on their foundation strength.

The first grade was the two supreme stars at the core—the Sun Star and the Moon Star, formed from Pangu's eyes.

The second grade was the Ziwei Star, motionless at the center of the starry sky, formed from Pangu's Purple Mansion.

The third sequence was the 365 main stars, and the fourth sequence was the 14,800 secondary stars... but these need not be mentioned for now.

On the Sun Star, Tai Yi and Di Jun were gestating. On the Ziwei Star, another Great Divine Power had transformed and emerged, named Ziwei Star Lord, qualified to contend for the position of Lord of Stars.

However, this Ziwei Star Lord was unlucky from birth—he was immediately targeted by the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, who sought to seize the fortune and merit of the Lord of Stars.

Di Jun possessed the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure River Diagram and Luo Book, and Tai Yi had the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell. With a foundation already half a step lower, how could Ziwei Star Lord be their match?

Ziwei Star Lord silently lamented his misfortune. Just as he was about to be slain on the spot, fate decreed he should not die—he was saved by another Great Divine Power passing by.

That Great Divine Power was named Dong Wang Gong, the incarnation of the first wisp of Pure Yang Qi in the primordial world, unafraid of the two Golden Crows' might.

Thus, cause and effect, and a grudge, were forged between them.

"Brother Xuanyuan, I've cultivated indestructible willpower!"

Time passed without measure in the hall; days and years were unknown within. On this day, the youngest Ancestral Witch of Earth, Houtu, took the lead over the other eleven Ancestral Witches, cultivating indestructible willpower right after Tongtian.

Xuanyuan was not surprised that Houtu was the fastest to complete the first layer of the 'Indestructible True Spirit.' This was because Houtu was the only one among the Twelve Ancestral Witches who still had a primordial spirit. Though it was weak and inferior to the Great Divine Powers of the immortal path, it still allowed her to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Sister Houtu has succeeded in her cultivation, so now all of you brothers can seek her guidance. As for me and Third Brother, we intend to continue our travels across the Primordial World."

Brother Xuanyuan smiled faintly, also preparing to leave Pangu Hall.

These years of secluded cultivation within Pangu Hall had brought rapid progress in the Great Dao of Chaos. Within the Chaos World, laws of Yin and Yang, Thunder, Time and Space, the Five Elements, Wind, and Poison had already taken shape.

To grow stronger, shutting oneself away in solitary cultivation was no longer viable.

Moreover, in the early stages of the Witch-Demon Tribulation, many opportunities were emerging one after another across the Primordial World Earth—how could they afford to miss them?

"This... Brother Xuanyuan, why not stay another ten thousand years?"

Hearing this, the Twelve Ancestral Witches all showed reluctance on their faces.

"In the future, we shall meet again."

"By the way, I have a suggestion—though it is merely a suggestion."

"The Primordial World was opened by Father God through the Great Dao of Strength, where all might converges into one. One's own strength is the only true strength. There is no need to Establish a Clan and drag the Witch Clan into the vortex of the Tribulation, making you a target for all."

After a moment's thought, Brother Xuanyuan added.

If the Ancestral Witches do not Establish a Clan, let's see how the Witch-Demon Tribulation can drag the Witch Clan into its midst!

The Ancestral Witches do not suffer Heavenly Condemnation, do not Cultivate the Heavenly Dao, and are born with immense innate fortune—they lack for nothing. What substantive benefit could vying for supremacy with the Demon Race bring?

Far better to focus on Secluded Cultivation and quietly amass strength!
