Fei Lian was surrounded by a group of Great Witches, but his feelings were incredibly complex.
Among the Witch Clan's Great Witches, his strength was not weak, but he couldn't be considered top-tier.
Whether it was Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, or Chi You and Kuafu, they were all much stronger than him.
He had never imagined that one day he would experience such a star-studded reception?
But he knew himself best.
He truly had no connection with Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch!
Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch had given him a communication artifact, but it was only for when the Witch Clan was in danger. Fei Lian wouldn't dare to use it casually.
"Everyone, please don't make things difficult for me!"
Fei Lian shook his head with a wry smile. He was genuinely not familiar with Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch!
He couldn't figure out what they were thinking. If he could latch onto Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch, why would he be wasting time here chatting with them?
He would have gone to Qianyuan Mountain to cultivate long ago!
Just then, his heart suddenly stirred, and he quickly took out the communication artifact Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch had given him.
"You good-for-nothing Fei Lian, Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch even gave you a communication artifact, and you still say you're not familiar with him?"
"Fei Lian, you scoundrel, are you trying to hoard it all for yourself?"
"Let me tell you, no way. From now on, we're sticking with you, not leaving for a moment!"
Chi You, Kuafu, and the other Great Witches all stared at the communication artifact in Fei Lian's hand, their eyes filled with envy.
This kid Fei Lian, to receive Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch's communication artifact, was truly going to strike it rich this time.
While envious, everyone also felt deep regret.
If they had known Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch was so powerful, capable of instantly killing the remnant soul of a late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal Chaos Demon God, they would never have let Fei Lian go invite Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch in the first place.
Such a golden opportunity, and it all went to this kid Fei Lian for free.
"Everyone quiet down, let's hear what Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch has to say first!"
Hou Yi shouted loudly.
As the Witch Clan's renowned archer, Hou Yi was the calmest among all the Great Witches.
"Right, stop bickering and listen to what Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch has to command!"
After everyone quieted down, Fei Lian circulated his magic power, and immediately, Xuanyuan's voice came from the communication artifact.
"Have Chi You preside over the tribe, Fei Lian, you bring Kuafu, Hou Yi, Xiang Liu... to Qianyuan Mountain!"
Everyone listened intently.
The Great Witches who heard their names were all incredibly excited and thrilled, jumping and laughing like innocent children.
Those who didn't hear their names drooped their heads dejectedly.
Chi You, in particular, wore a bitter expression, utterly dejected.
Being put in charge of the tribe showed Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch's great trust in him, but not being able to go to Qianyuan Mountain to cultivate made him anxious.
He knew clearly that by the time these people returned from cultivating at Qianyuan Mountain, their strength would have undoubtedly improved significantly. At that point, he, one of the top three Great Witches of the Witch Clan, might no longer live up to his title.
But this was Xuanyuan Ancestor Witch's arrangement. Even though Chi You was unwilling, he didn't dare to say another word.
Watching Kuafu, Hou Yi, and the others excitedly head towards Qianyuan Mountain, Chi You grumbled sourly, "What's there to be so proud of? When Dijiang and the other Ancestor Witches return, I'll proactively apply to cultivate at Qianyuan Mountain. I'll still be stronger than you!"
Qianyuan Mountain!
As Kuafu, Hou Yi, and the others arrived, the usually quiet mountain gate immediately became lively.
They looked left and right, their eyes darting everywhere, simply unable to take it all in.
They had initially thought Fei Lian's words were somewhat exaggerated, but now it seemed they weren't exaggerated at all; in fact, they had been too conservative.
As soon as they arrived, before they had even begun cultivating, the dense Innate Spiritual Qi directly poured into their bodies, and unknowingly, their cultivation rapidly increased.
Qianyuan Mountain was practically a sacred land for cultivation for the Witch Clan.
After all, the Witch Clan couldn't absorb ordinary spiritual qi; they could only absorb malevolent qi to strengthen their physical bodies.
However, malevolent qi would affect the brain, causing the Witches to become extremely short-tempered.
They were prone to fighting at the slightest provocation.
Even among their own kin, conflicts frequently occurred.
In the end, even these Great Witches were hesitant to cultivate using malevolent qi.
This was also the main reason why the Witch Clan's Great Witches were not strong.
But Qianyuan Mountain was different. The Innate Spiritual Qi here was simply too abundant.
The Witch Clan could indeed cultivate by absorbing Innate Spiritual Qi.
Moreover, the effect was even stronger than absorbing malevolent qi, and it had no side effects.
It was just that after Father God Pangu created the heavens and earth, the Innate Spiritual Qi in the world became increasingly scarce. Even in places where Innate Spiritual Qi was abundant, most of them were already occupied by powerful individuals.
The Witch Clan was born too late, and their strength was not strong enough to compete for territory with those powerful beings.
If it weren't for their sheer numbers, as the Pangu Orthodox, it would be difficult for them to survive in the Primordial World.
It was precisely because of this that great witches like Kuafu and Hou Yi, after witnessing Xuanyuan's strength, became so worshipful.
They yearned for a sacred cultivation ground like Qianyuan Mountain.
Xuanyuan lay lazily on the Enlightenment Chair, seeing Kuafu, Hou Yi, and the other great witches acting as cautiously as Liu Laolao visiting the Grand View Garden. He couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Look at your unpromising selves. If you go out later, don't say you're from the Witch Clan; we'd be too embarrassed."
"Greetings, Ancestor Witch Xuanyuan!"
The great witches knelt on one knee, bowing to Xuanyuan.
This was the highest etiquette of the Witch Clan.
It was rarely seen in normal times.
It could be seen how much respect these great witches held for Xuanyuan in their hearts.
"Alright, get up. We don't do this here!"
Xuanyuan waved his hand casually. After everyone stood up, he warned, "Your strength is too weak. Since you are here, cultivate well. Anyone I catch slacking off will be kicked out of Qianyuan Mountain, and a brother eager to improve his strength will take your place!"
"Yes!"
The great witches nodded one after another.
It would be foolish to slack off in such a good sacred cultivation ground after finally getting in.
After settling Kuafu, Hou Yi, and the other great witches, Xuanyuan leaned back lazily on the lounge chair, content to lie flat once more.
Working hard to cultivate was just something to say to others.
As a man with a System, he wouldn't bother cultivating himself.
Cultivation knows no time; three hundred years passed in a flash.
Only a few decades remained until Hongjun's second sermon. It was time to head to Zixiao Palace.
Xuanyuan was very interested in this second sermon.
After all, Hongjun's second sermon was about the path of the Quasi-Saint, that is, the method of severing three corpses.
He had been coveting it for a long time.
If it weren't for obtaining the method of severing three corpses, with the cultivation rewarded by the System, he would have already reached the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, or even the mid-stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Xuanyuan stood up from the Enlightenment Chair and looked towards Qianyuan Palace.
At this time, Dijiang and the other Twelve Ancestor Witches, Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, Six-Eared Macaque, Kong Xuan, and others had all emerged from their deep cultivation retreats and were consolidating their realms.
As for Kuafu, Hou Yi, and the other great witches, they were all engrossed in cultivation, forgetting to eat and sleep, dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to it.
The cultivation environment within Qianyuan Palace was truly excellent.
It was a true sacred cultivation ground.
For them, wasting even a moment in such an environment would be a blasphemy.
