Primordial World Situation

Five hundred more years passed. Nine hundred years had now gone by since Six-Eared Macaque and Kong Xuan, along with four others, entered Qianyuan Mountain.

Six-Eared Macaque, Kong Xuan, and the other four had not disappointed Xuanyuan. They had all cultivated to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, not far from Grand Perfection.

As for Jiu Feng, she had almost completely absorbed and refined the one hundred million Great Dao Merit Xuanyuan had provided. Behind her, a massive illusory figure stood tall, capable of breaking through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm at any moment.

The only one progressing slowly was Xing Tian.

However, Xing Tian had not been idle during these nine hundred years.

His physical strength had increased several times over compared to when he first arrived.

Over the nine hundred years, Dijiang and the other Eleven Ancestor Witches had visited a few times. Besides freeloading food and drinks, they also brought news of the Primordial World to Xuanyuan.

It was rumored that Taiqing Laozi had successfully broken through to the late Daluo Golden Immortal stage, becoming known as the strongest in the Primordial World beneath Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Fuxi and Nuwa discovered a primordial calabash vine on Buzhou Mountain, bearing seven primordial gourds. Although they had not yet ripened, they had attracted many powerful cultivators.

Ancestor Kunpeng encountered the remains of a Chaos Demon God in the far north. Among them were residual souls of Chaos Demon Gods. Kunpeng was no match for them, was injured, and went to Wuzhuang Temple to demand Ginseng Fruit from Zhen Yuanzi. Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun refused, creating animosity between them.

Jieyin and Zhunti, the two bald donkeys, did not return to the Western World but lingered in the Eastern World.

Relying on their mid-Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation, they stole treasures from many races and forces.

On one particularly audacious occasion, they infiltrated the Sun Star and stole the treasures from the Demon Clan's vault, leading Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi on a chase for several hundred years.

Passing by Pangu Temple, Jieyin and Zhunti could no longer stand the constant pursuit. They shifted the blame, throwing the Demon Clan's treasures into Pangu Temple.

When Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi came to demand them, the Twelve Ancestor Witches, led by Dijiang, naturally would not hand over the retrieved treasures.

Several major battles erupted between the two sides.

Although Dijiang and his kin did not unleash their full strength, they still taught Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi a lesson several times.

Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, resentful, recruited demons throughout the Primordial World, causing the Demon Clan's strength to swell like a balloon.

A hundred years ago, the two sides engaged in a decisive battle on Buzhou Mountain.

Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, Demon Master Kunpeng, and the ten great demon generals of the Demon Clan were all deployed. The Twelve Ancestor Witches, along with the Great Witches of the Witch Clan, participated in the fight.

The great battle raged for a full hundred years, culminating in a great victory for the Witch Clan.

Had Hongjun not intervened, the Demon Clan would likely have suffered heavy casualties.

Finally, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi returned to the Sun Star, focusing on cultivation and vowing to take revenge on the Witch Clan.

After the great battle concluded, Dijiang and the other Eleven Ancestor Witches came to Qianyuan Mountain.

"Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi are truly sons of bitches!"

Zhurong cursed, "Jieyin and Zhunti, those two bald donkeys, stole the Demon Clan's treasury. Instead of seeking revenge on those bald donkeys, those two idiots decided to fight us, the Witch Clan, to the death!"

Gonggong was equally indignant. "If you ask me, we should have hidden our strength, unleashed it directly, killed those two idiots, and seized the Sun Star. That would have been satisfying."

All Twelve Ancestor Witches were mid-Daluo Golden Immortals, on the verge of breaking through to the late Daluo Golden Immortal stage. Coupled with their powerful physiques and mastery of a law each, any single one of them was no weaker than Dijun or Donghuang Taiyi, let alone all twelve of them.

Even the Sanqing, known as the strongest in the Primordial World beneath Hongjun, were no match for them at this time.

However, due to Dijiang's deliberate suppression, they had only displayed cultivation at the Grand Perfection of Taiyi Golden Immortal during their battles with the Demon Clan.

It was only after the addition of powerful demons like Kunpeng and Bai Ze to the battle that they appeared to have just broken through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

"What do you two simpletons know!"

Dijiang glared. "Our opponents are no longer the Demon Clan led by Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, but that old man Hongjun. Before breaking through to Saint, all of you keep a low profile. Anyone who disrupts Brother Xuanyuan's plans will face my wrath."

Dijiang's anger caused Zhurong and Gonggong to shrink their necks.

Times had changed. They were no match for Dijiang now.

Moreover, this was also Xuanyuan's plan. As the saying goes, one cannot speak ill of those who provide for them. Looking at the Maozi and Huazi in their hands, they both fell silent.

After discussing the major events in the Primordial World for a while longer, Ancestor Witch Qiangliang looked at Xuanyuan and asked, "Brother Xuanyuan, is our sister doing well here with you?"

They had visited Xuanyuan several times but had never seen Jiu Feng or Xing Tian. Qiangliang, concerned for his sister, could no longer hold back his question.

"Sister Jiu Feng is doing very well!"

Xuanyuan smiled and produced a mirror, placing it before them.

This was an Innate Spiritual Treasure – the Heaven-Peeking Mirror, capable of observing all people and objects within a radius of a million li.

At this moment, on the Heaven-Peeking Mirror, Jiu Feng was seated cross-legged within Qianyuan Palace, her aura emanating all around. Behind her, her primordial spirit's illusory form stood towering.

Upon seeing this, Dijiang, Qiangliang, and the others were overjoyed.

They had all experienced the process of absorbing and refining Great Dao Merit and naturally understood what Jiu Feng was doing.

Qiangliang cupped his hands towards Xuanyuan and smiled, "Brother Xuanyuan, thank you!"

"We're all family, no need for pleasantries!"

Xuanyuan waved his hand with a smile, unconcerned.

Dijiang laughed heartily. "Excellent! Our Witch Clan is about to have a new Daluo Golden Immortal realm expert!"

The Ancestor Witches were in high spirits.

In the current Primordial World, each additional Daluo Golden Immortal expert meant an increased chance of victory.

And they all knew clearly in their hearts that Xuanyuan had done his utmost for Jiu Feng, gifting hundreds of millions of Great Dao Merit without hesitation.

Once Jiu Feng broke through, she would be no ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal; fighting beyond her level wouldn't be difficult.

Seeing Jiu Feng had gained so much, Zhurong, while happy, couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Xuanyuan, how is Xing Tian?"

Xing Tian was a great witch under his command, so naturally, he had to show more concern.

Xuanyuan's mind stirred, and the image on the Sky-Peeking Mirror shifted, showing Xing Tian.

Unlike Jiu Feng, Xing Tian had no primordial spirit projection behind him. He was currently using the dense Innate Spiritual Qi to temper his physical body.

Dijiang and the others glanced over and discovered that Xing Tian had already reached the Grand Perfection of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. His physical body had become incredibly robust, and as long as he continued to cultivate step by step, breaking through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm wouldn't be far off.

The only pity was that Xing Tian lacked a primordial spirit.

Even if he broke through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, he wouldn't be able to comprehend the power of laws, only continuously temper his physical body and increase his strength.

"This kid is also good, he didn't shame us!"

Seeing Xing Tian, Zhurong laughed heartily. Despite the regret, he was generally very satisfied.

Zhujiuyin looked at Xing Tian on the Sky-Peeking Mirror and tentatively asked, "Brother Xuanyuan, is there any way you can help Xing Tian, to give him a primordial spirit as well?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Ancestor Witches turned to look at Xuanyuan, their eyes filled with anticipation.

If Xuanyuan agreed, they would pester him relentlessly to have their great witches cultivate under him.

Xuanyuan smiled wryly and shook his head, "You think too highly of me. Among the great witches, Jiu Feng is the only exception. The others simply do not have primordial spirits, and I can't do anything about it now."

Xuanyuan put away the Sky-Peeking Mirror and looked at Dijiang and the others, smiling, "Big Brother, don't leave this time. Stay at Qianyuan Mountain. There are still two thousand years until Hongjun's sermon. Let's all cultivate well during this period and strive to break through to the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm before Hongjun's second sermon!"

"We'll do as Brother Xuanyuan says!"

Dijiang agreed without a second thought.

The Demon Clan had suffered a great defeat and wouldn't dare to cause trouble for the Witch Clan again in a short period.

Since they had nothing else to do, they might as well stay at Xuanyuan's place to cultivate well, and even get free food and drinks. What could be better?

The other Ancestor Witches also readily agreed.

Zhurong and Gonggong looked at Xuanyuan with expectant eyes, "Brother Xuanyuan, since we're staying with you, don't be stingy with the good stuff!"

"Don't worry, my two brothers. Maozi and Huazi will be plentiful!"

"That's the spirit!"
