One who holds the Chaos Pearl can use it to open up a world of their own based on chaos, becoming a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin not subject to the Heavenly Dao.

And chaos encompasses myriad laws, so the path Xuanyuan walked was ultimately different from that of the other Three Pure Ones—he would walk the path of the Return of Ten Thousand Daos to One, smelting all paths together.

Once successful, Postnatal Returns to Innate, Innate Returns to Chaos, Chaos Returns to Primordial Chaos—even the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin is merely a starting point!

Chaos divides into yin and yang, yin and yang divide into the four symbols, and thunder is the sound of the Beginning of Heaven and Earth. The comprehension of yin-yang and thunder and lightning was undoubtedly of great help to Xuanyuan in his enlightenment of the Great Dao of Chaos!

Setting aside the four Great Divine Powers discussing the Dao atop Buzhou Mountain, let us speak of what lay at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, where another group of Great Divine Powers was also being nurtured.

After Pangu Opens Heaven, he fell from exhaustion. Pangu's spine transformed into the heavenly pillar Buzhou Mountain, while Pangu's heart turned into the base of Buzhou Mountain—the Pangu Hall deep within the earth's veins.

Pangu Hall was naturally formed, seamless and flawless. Only the Twelve Ancestral Witches, through bloodline resonance, could find the Mysterious Gate that led in and out.

This hall was not only the origin and sacred ground of the Wu Clan but also the birthplace of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

The hall's interior was vast and boundless, containing a small world where myriad laws coiled together—an excellent convergence point for laws. It was of great help to immortal cultivators in comprehending the laws, and within it lay the Blood Pool, rich in the Power of Creation.

When the special aura of the Blood Pool combined with other auras in Pangu Hall, it could create all manner of things and living beings.

At this moment, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, led by the Space Ancestral Shaman Di Tian, were dripping their essence blood into the Blood Pool, nurturing Great Witches one by one.

With Great Witches came Lesser Witches, and from them, the entire Wu Clan would be born.

"Big Brother, my true spirit sensed a call. It seems some opportunity outside is summoning me."

A Tiger-headed Human-bodied figure suddenly stopped dripping essence blood, scratched his head, and looked at his elder brother with confusion.

This figure had Four Hooves like iron, long arms strong and sinewy, a red serpent in Its Mouth, and green serpents gripped tightly in both hands. Lightning radiance coiled All Over the Body, exuding overbearing destruction. He was the fifth among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Ancestral Witch of Thunder, Qiang Liang.

"Big Brother, I feel it too. It's Just Now on Buzhou Mountain."

Next, the eighth-ranked Ancestral Witch of Lightning, Xi Zi, also spoke.

Xi Zi was Human-faced Bird-bodied, with green serpents hanging from his ears and a red serpent in his hand.

So-called thunder and lightning were, in truth, the same Great Dao, merely two sides of yin and yang, each with its own emphasis.

Qiang Liang grasped the yang, masculine aspect of the Great Dao of Thunder—overbearing, destructive, explosive—hence he was the Ancestral Witch of Thunder.

Xi Zi grasped the yin, feminine aspect of thunder—latent, brewing, eroding—hence he was called the Ancestral Witch of Lightning.

But thunder and lightning were inherently one, two different manifestations of the same Great Dao's power. Thus, Qiang Liang and Xi Zi were the closest of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, inseparable as shadow and form.

Now that Qiang Liang felt the call of opportunity, Xi Zi's true spirit was also stirred.

Except for Houtu, the other Ancestral Witches did Not Cultivate a Primordial Spirit. Their true spirits, unwrapped by a Primordial Spirit, were directly fused with their physical bodies. If they fell, they would be utterly annihilated, with no possibility of reincarnation through a Primordial Spirit.

It was Also Precisely for this reason that their true spirits were, at times, even sharper than a Primordial Spirit.

"Since there is an opportunity, then go together. If you encounter trouble, call for us."

The Space Ancestral Shaman Di Jiang nodded.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches feared nothing under heaven. Since there was an opportunity, they would go.

If they truly met danger, all twelve Siblings would Make A Move together. Each was a Daluo Golden Immortal—even a Golden Immortal of the Origin above Daluo would have to retreat!

"This Great Dao of Thunder, under Fourth Brother's guidance, I have also gained Some insight. Thunder and lightning have yin and yang divisions—yin is lightning, yang is thunder..."

On Buzhou Mountain, Tongtian was expounding his insights on yin-yang thunder and lightning. Fuxi and Nuwa listened and could not help clapping and smiling, having gained something themselves.

"Hahahaha, well said!"

"You, this Daoist, have truly grasped some of the essence of thunder and lightning. We Two Brothers acknowledge you."

Just then, two rough voices came from below the mountain. The four Great Divine Powers stopped their discussion and Looked Towards the sound.

"I am the Ancestral Witch of Thunder, Qiang Liang. This is the Ancestral Witch of Lightning, Xi Zi. Since you have comprehended the Great Dao of Thunder to such a level, why not spar with us in the Great Dao of Thunder?"

Two figures rode the Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi, stepping through the air as they came.

They were the Ancestral Witch of Thunder, Qiang Liang, and the Ancestral Witch of Lightning, Xi Zi, who had Formed and Born into Innate Dao Bodies.

The so-called Innate Dao Body was the human form. When the Four Pure Ones Formed and Born, they had taken the form of the Innate Dao Body.

The reason for this form was that the Primordial World was opened by Pangu, and Pangu was human-shaped. Within the Primordial World, the human-shaped Innate Dao Body was the most compatible with the laws of the Primordial World.

Thus, aside from the Four Pure Ones, most Great Divine Powers, such as Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, also Formed and Born in the Innate Dao Body.

"Two Ancestral Witches?"

Xuanyuan frowned, but he knew this was a ripple effect caused by himself.

The Ancestral Witches dwelled in Pangu Hall. At this time, they should still be breeding the Wu Clan, not yet ready to emerge. And the two Three-legged Golden Crows on the Sun Star had likewise not yet left the Sun Star to roam the Primordial World.

Pangu Hall, formed from Pangu's heart, inherently isolated karma. Unless the Twelve Ancestral Witches Proactively established the Wu Clan and emerged, not even Hongjun could scheme against them.

Now that these two Ancestral Witches of thunder and lightning had emerged, they had likely already caught the eye of Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace.

"Spar in the Great Dao of Thunder?"

"Hahahaha, why not?"

Tongtian laughed heartily, a fighting spirit rising in his eyes.

Since Formed and Born, he had always listened to Yuanshi and Laozi and remained in Secluded Cultivation at his dojo. Tongtian had never actually fought anyone before.

"Good, refreshing!"

Qiang Liang and Xi Zi shouted in approval, then transformed into their Ancestral Shaman True Forms—one tiger-headed and human-bodied, the other human-faced and bird-bodied—wielding thunder and lightning as they began sparring with Tongtian.

The Ancestral Shamans did not cultivate the Primordial Spirit, only the physical body. Their divine power over thunder and lightning was also self-contained, innate, inscribed upon their flesh and blood. Every movement they made was a manifestation of the Great Dao of Thunder's power.

This was different from Tongtian's Upper Clarity Divine Thunder, and was closer to the Great Dao itself.

"Come, fight!"

Tongtian had only recently obtained the two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, but because he was naturally attuned to the Upper Clarity Qi, during the discussion of the Dao just now, he had already refined the first two layers of the treasures' restrictions, and could now summon them to battle.

The two Ancestral Shamans were different. They cultivated their physical bodies with turbid qi and had no Primordial Spirit, so they could not Deduce Heavenly Secrets or refine treasures. Their fists and feet were their weapons.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Tongtian held the Fishing Drum, symbolizing yang thunder, in one hand, and the Purple Lightning Hammer, symbolizing yin lightning, in the other. Uniting yin and yang, he fought one against two, matching the two Ancestral Shamans blow for blow.

In this battle, the yin and yang aspects of the Great Dao of Thunder were revealed and further perfected with each clash between the three.

Although both Qiang Liang and Xi Zi cultivated the Great Dao of Thunder, in truth, none of them had grasped the complete Dao. Otherwise, they would not be Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals but would directly Prove the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

The two Ancestral Shamans and Tongtian, aided by their treasures, all displayed the power of thunder, yet each was distinct. Through mutual exchange, they could continuously absorb the parts they lacked, deepening their comprehension of the Great Dao of Thunder.

Thunder is lightning; yin and yang are one.

Whether it was the Great God Pangu's All Heavens Divine Thunder, the Heavenly Dao's Chaos Divine Thunder, or Tongtian's Upper Clarity Divine Thunder—these were called thunder, but they were not purely thunder. They contained the power of yin and the manifestation of lightning.

Thus, thunder and lightning were inseparable.

Watching the three fight, Fuxi and Nuwa comprehended the yin and yang within the thunder, while inside Xuanyuan's Primordial Spirit, the Chaos Pearl underwent a change.
