Just as Qin Mu was lost in thought, Kuafu said with a smile:
"Daoist Qin Mu, this is our Witch Clan's Great Witch, Xing Tian."
With Kuafu's introduction, Qin Mu was secretly startled.
"So it's the Great Witch Xing Tian!"
"No wonder the fiendish aura and battle intent on him are so violent!"

Qin Mu was naturally no stranger to the Great Witch Xing Tian—this was a ruthless man who dared to charge into the Heavenly Court alone.
Known as the Witch Clan's God of War!
And Xing Tian's status within the Witch Clan was extraordinary, second only to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and alongside Kuafu, Nine Phoenix, and others, he was part of the Witch Clan's second-tier core combat strength.
Beyond that, his Quintessential Blood contained the Heaven-Opening Sha Qi.
It could activate the remnants of the Twelve Heavens Divine Fiend Formation, holding core value for the Witch Clan's secret arts.
After a brief thought, Qin Mu snapped back to focus, smiled at Xing Tian, and bowed:
"Greetings, Daoist Xing Tian!"
Hearing this, Xing Tian clasped his fists in return.
Earlier, having heard that Kuafu was defeated by someone, Xing Tian had rushed to the entrance of Buzhou Mountain.
He also wanted to see who possessed such great ability.
Unfortunately, at that time, Qin Mu had already entered Buzhou Mountain.
Afterward, Xing Tian joined Kuafu in guarding the mountain's base entrance, and today they finally waited for Qin Mu to descend the mountain.
"Daoist Qin Mu."
"Your trip into Buzhou Mountain must have yielded considerable gains, I presume?"
"Are you planning to leave Buzhou Mountain now?"
Qin Mu smiled slightly and replied:
"Just a small harvest."
"I've been traveling abroad for some time now; it's time to return to Kunlun Mountain!"
Hearing Qin Mu's words, Kuafu and Xing Tian were both startled.
"Kunlun Mountain?"
Kuafu exclaimed in surprise and quickly asked:
"Might I ask what relation the Three Pure Ones have with Daoist Qin Mu?"
Qin Mu didn't hide it and responded:
"Shangqing Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, is this humble one's master!"
Upon hearing that Qin Mu was a disciple of Tongtian, Kuafu and Xing Tian couldn't help but be astonished.
After all, the name of the Three Pure Ones had long resounded throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
Moreover, everyone knew that the Three Pure Ones would all become Saints in the future!
Beyond the shock, a smile spread across Kuafu's face as he sighed:
"I never expected Daoist Qin Mu to be a disciple of Senior Tongtian!"
"By that connection, we can be considered family!"
Before Qin Mu could respond, Xing Tian's bronze-toned face also carried a hint of a smile as he took over:
"What Kuafu says is true."
"Father God Pangu's Primordial Spirit transformed into the Three Pure Ones, while Father God's Quintessential Blood gave birth to our Witch Clan."
"By that reckoning, the Witch Clan and the Three Pure Ones share the same origin."
Qin Mu smiled and nodded.
He understood clearly that the Witch Clan revered neither heaven nor earth, only Pangu.
And since the Three Pure Ones were Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, as a disciple of Shangqing Tongtian, he naturally earned the goodwill of the Witch Clan.
Just then, Xing Tian shifted the topic:
"Daoist Qin Mu, this humble one has an impertinent request, and I hope you will grant it!"
"Oh?"
Qin Mu was surprised and looked back at Xing Tian:
"Daoist Xing Tian, please speak!"
Xing Tian didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point:
"Daoist friend is about to set off back to Kunlun Mountain, but before that, I wonder if you'd be willing to spar with me for a match?"
As he spoke, battle intent blazed in Xing Tian's eyes.
Having heard earlier that Kuafu was defeated by Qin Mu, and relying purely on raw physical strength at that, it had stirred endless fighting spirit within Xing Tian. Before his shift to guard the entrance of Buzhou Mountain had even arrived, he rushed over in haste. Afterwards, he stayed by Kuafu's side the whole time, waiting for Qin Mu.
"Ah?"
Hearing Xing Tian's request, Qin Mu was startled and silently lamented:
"What the hell is this?"
"We haven't even exchanged a few words, and he wants to fight me right off the bat?"
"Great Witch Xing Tian truly lives up to being the battle maniac of the Witch Clan!"
Seeing Qin Mu's stunned expression, Xing Tian felt a bit awkward, knowing full well his request was rather abrupt. He paused briefly, then lightly waved his hand, and from his palm emerged a purple fragment.
"Daoist friend Qin Mu."
"This item I stumbled upon by chance at Buzhou Mountain."
"I have no idea what it is."
"If Daoist friend Qin Mu agrees to spar with me, consider this our wager for the match."
With that, Xing Tian paused again, perhaps feeling it wasn't enough to show sincerity. With a flip of his hand, a drop of Quintessential Blood appeared.
"Besides this, there's also a drop of my Quintessential Blood."
"Win or lose, it's yours!"
"What does Daoist friend Qin Mu think?"
Hearing Xing Tian's words, Qin Mu trembled slightly, his gaze falling on the purple fragment in the other's palm. Upon looking, he saw that the purple fragment actually bore the imprint of Primordial Chaos-level laws. The entire fragment was crystal clear, its surface flowing with profound Dao Patterns.
What astonished Qin Mu even more was that around the fragment, Great Dao Laws manifested. Sometimes they transformed into blooming lotuses, sometimes they condensed into golden lamps burning bright...
"Damn!"
"This thing... could it be a Creation Jade Disk Fragment?"
Qin Mu quickly recognized it. The purple fragment Xing Tian had pulled out was highly likely a fragment of the Creation Jade Disk. After all, the Creation Jade Disk was a Chaos Supreme Treasure! It was formed from the primordial energy of the Chaotic Universe, its essence a microcosm of that universe, containing within it the three thousand Great Dao Laws. When Great God Pangu split the heavens, the Creation Jade Disk couldn't withstand the pressure of heaven and earth and shattered into eighty-one fragments. The largest portion was obtained by Hongjun, while the rest scattered across the Great Desolation World. When Dao Ancestor Hongjun preached the Dao, he had expounded on the Great Dao Laws within the Creation Jade Disk.
Though Xing Tian had only produced a small fragment, the true meaning of the Dao it contained was extraordinary.
"Too bad the Witch Clan doesn't cultivate the Primordial Spirit, only the physical body."
"This Creation Jade Disk Fragment alone would make all the Great Experts of the Great Desolation World fight tooth and nail over it!"
"Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun would need it!"
Qin Mu sighed quietly. Others might not know, but he was well aware that even Hongjun was secretly gathering the other Creation Jade Disk Fragments. After all, if one could assemble the complete Creation Jade Disk, they could evolve Chaos and deduce all events and the supreme principles of heaven in the Great Desolation World.
"Who would've thought that Great Witch Xing Tian would bring out such a treasure just to spar with me!"
"On top of that, the Creation Jade Disk Fragment is already extraordinary, yet he's willing to offer a drop of his own Quintessential Blood."
Among the Great Witches of the Witch Clan, Xing Tian's bloodline was unique. Because his Quintessential Blood contained the Heaven-Opening Sha Qi, it could activate the Witch Clan's Twelve Heavens Divine Fiend Formation. This was also the reason why, after Houtu Ancestral Witch transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, Xing Tian was chosen to take her place.
Just as Qin Mu was lost in thought, Xing Tian frowned slightly and let out a light doubt:
"Daoist friend Qin Mu, is This Humble One's sincerity still insufficient?"
Hearing this, Qin Mu quickly snapped back to reality and smiled at Xing Tian:
"Daoist friend Xing Tian, you're too kind!"
"Since you wish to spar with me, This Humble One naturally won't dampen your spirits."
Seeing Qin Mu agree, Xing Tian was overjoyed, and the battle intent surging through his entire body grew even more intense!
