The Witch Clan Rises

"Ding, the host is seriously considering the current situation of the Witch Clan and aspires to cultivate the Witch Clan into the number one race in the Primordial World. A long-term mission is hereby issued: 'The Rise of the Witch Clan'."

"'The Rise of the Witch Clan' - Stage One Mission: Before the official start of the Lich War, for every Daluo Golden Immortal realm tribesman the host cultivates, the System will reward one Innate Spiritual Treasure and a thousand years of cultivation. This mission has no upper limit, and the deadline is before the official start of the Lich War!"

As Xuanyuan was seriously contemplating how to improve the overall strength of the Witch Clan, the System's cold, mechanical synthesized electronic voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

The System had actually issued a mission at this moment.

The Rise of the Witch Clan!

For every Daluo Golden Immortal realm tribesman cultivated, the System would reward an Innate Spiritual Treasure and a thousand years of cultivation.

The rewards were very generous!

Especially the Innate Spiritual Treasures, which were simply too timely.

After all, after Hongjun's second sermon, the method of severing three corpses would become the mainstream cultivation technique in the Primordial World.

And to sever a corpse, one must have an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It was conceivable that by then, Innate Spiritual Treasures would definitely be difficult to find and their value would greatly increase.

As long as he cultivated more Daluo Golden Immortal realm tribesmen, he would obtain a continuous stream of Innate Spiritual Treasures.

At that time, whether he kept them for his tribesmen and disciples to use, or exchanged them with other powerhouses, it would be a good choice.

Xuanyuan was quite satisfied with the System's rewards.

Free stuff was always the best!

"System, the Twelve Ancestor Witches and the Great Witch Jiu Feng, I have cultivated a total of thirteen Daluo Golden Immortal realm powerhouses for the Witch Clan. Shouldn't you be issuing the rewards now?"

"Apologies, host. These individuals do not count!"

The System, which had always been silent, explained to Xuanyuan for the first time.

Xuanyuan frowned, displeased. "Why don't they count? Just tell me, were they cultivated by us? Did they all break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm?"

"Only Daluo Golden Immortal realm powerhouses cultivated after the mission was issued count!"

Xuanyuan was furious. "Then all the countless resources we spent cultivating them before were wasted? You stingy System, give me back my hard-earned money!"

He was deliberately being unreasonable and distorting the facts.

The reason he did this was to test the System's intelligence and bottom line.

After all, it had been over a million years since he transmigrated to the Primordial World and bound with the System.

The System in his mind, apart from sign-ins, issuing missions, and giving rewards, had never communicated or interacted with him.

Xuanyuan had always thought the System was just a program and couldn't be communicated with.

Since he finally had a chance, he naturally had to take full advantage of it.

The System was silent for a long time, as if it had crashed. Just as Xuanyuan was feeling uneasy, the prompt tone finally sounded again, "The host's request is unreasonable. This is a warning. Given that the host did indeed consume resources to cultivate tribesmen, ten thousand years of cultivation will be returned to the host, along with one beginner's lucky draw!"

After hearing the System's prompt, Xuanyuan grinned and smiled silently.

Clearly, he had won this round against the System.

A complete victory!

As for the System's warning, it was harmless and didn't even have a specific punishment, so Xuanyuan obviously wouldn't take it to heart.

Ten thousand years of cultivation wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either. Based on the thousand years of cultivation rewarded to Six-Eared Macaque, Kong Xuan, and others when they broke through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm previously.

It was enough for him to advance significantly in the early Quasi-Saint stage.

Regardless, Xuanyuan was an Ancestor Witch formed from Pangu's essence blood. His talent and foundation were top-notch in the Primordial World.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the Son of Destiny of the Primordial World, the protagonist of an era.

For ordinary cultivators, ten thousand years of cultivation could allow them to break through from Taiyi Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal, which was already considered good talent.

But if it were Xuanyuan, he could definitely break through from Taiyi Golden Immortal to the Great Perfection of Daluo Golden Immortal, with leftover cultivation.

After all, breaking through from the late Daluo Golden Immortal stage to the Great Perfection of Daluo Golden Immortal only consumed about five thousand years of cultivation.

Xuanyuan's focus was not on the ten thousand years of cultivation returned by the System, but on the beginner's lucky draw.

"System, how are the lucky draw levels divided?"

"The System's lucky draw is currently divided into five major categories: beginner's lucky draw, intermediate lucky draw, advanced lucky draw, top-tier lucky draw, and supreme lucky draw. The host can obtain lucky draw chances by completing System missions or obtaining specific System rewards. Among them, beginner's lucky draw corresponds to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, intermediate lucky draw corresponds to the Quasi-Saint realm, advanced lucky draw corresponds to the Saint realm, top-tier lucky draw corresponds to the Heavenly Dao realm, and supreme lucky draw corresponds to the Great Dao realm!"

"The host has obtained one beginner's lucky draw chance. Does the host wish to draw?"

"Beginner's lucky draw only corresponds to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm?"

Xuanyuan shook his head, his interest immediately waning. He casually said, "Start the draw!"

"Ding, the host has used the beginner's lucky draw. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a bottle of Three Lights Divine Water!"

"Three Lights Divine Water?"

Xuanyuan curled his lips. "Beginner's lucky draw is indeed trash!"

Three Lights Divine Water, the number one healing sacred medicine in the Primordial World, could revive the dead and regenerate flesh and bones. Any cultivator below the Saint realm, as long as they had a breath left, could be healed by consuming a drop of Three Lights Divine Water.

It was an extremely rare treasure in the entire Primordial World.

Even a single drop of Three Lights Divine Water appearing could spark a great war.

It was a shame, though, that Xuanyuan had far too many treasures on him. Let alone a mere bottle of Three Lights Divine Water, he could produce a hundred bottles if he wanted.

It couldn't be helped. Ever since he'd transmigrated to the Primordial World, he'd signed in for a full million years. The various rare resources within the Chaos Cauldron had long since piled up like mountains.

"Forget it, it's better than nothing!"

To be honest, Xuanyuan wasn't concerned about the System's rewards.

What he cared about was gaining a clearer, more accurate understanding of the System through this encounter.

This way, he could better extract benefits from the System when similar issues arose in the future.

Now that the free rewards were in hand, Xuanyuan began to focus on enhancing the Great Witches' strength.

"Have Chi You manage the tribe, and have Kuafu, Hou Yi, Xiang Liu, and others come to me!"

After much deliberation, Xuanyuan finally sent a telepathic message to Fei Lian, naming thirty Great Witches and ordering them to come to Qianyuan Mountain immediately.

He intended to start enhancing the Great Witches' strength.

Meanwhile, at the Witch Clan tribe.

The great battle had ended, and Chi You, Kuafu, Hou Yi, and a host of other Great Witches surrounded Fei Lian, listening to him recount his experiences at Qianyuan Mountain.

They heard about the Innate Spiritual Qi being so dense it was almost liquefied, and how various Innate Spiritual Roots and fruits were found everywhere.

The Great Witches had long yearned for Qianyuan Mountain, wishing they could go there to cultivate immediately.

"Fei Lian, you lucky dog, you managed to get acquainted with Ancestor Witch Xuanyuan. I've got no other requests, brother. Just help us pass a message to Ancestor Witch Xuanyuan for us, tell him we want to go cultivate at Qianyuan Mountain!"

Chi You clapped Fei Lian on the shoulder, the impacts resounding as he acted exceptionally familiar.

"Brother Fei Lian, don't listen to Chi You's nonsense!"

Kuafu shoved Chi You aside and sidled up to Fei Lian, his face full of flattery. "I've always treated you well. You can't forget about me for such a good opportunity."

With Chi You and Kuafu leading the way, the other Great Witches couldn't sit still. They all chimed in, trying to curry favor with Fei Lian, hoping he would help them convey their desire to cultivate at Qianyuan Mountain to Ancestor Witch Xuanyuan.

Through this crisis, they had realized their own insufficient strength and desperately wanted to improve.

It was just that they lacked good methods.

Xuanyuan's appearance had made everyone's eyes light up.

They had no idea that Ancestor Witch Xuanyuan was so powerful.

After all, Ancestor Witch Xuanyuan was too mysterious, rarely appearing in the tribe.

Within the tribe, besides Ancestor Witches like Dijiang, and the two Great Witches Jiu Feng and Xing Tian, no one else had any connection with him.

The only one who had been to Qianyuan Mountain was the lucky Fei Lian.

Chi You, Kuafu, and the others knew deep down that Fei Lian didn't really have any connection with Ancestor Witch Xuanyuan.

But after all, he was the only one among them who had entered Qianyuan Mountain and spoken to Ancestor Witch Xuanyuan.

He was, to some extent, an acquaintance, right?

They could only try their luck!
