Dijiang shook his head, his expression serious. "Brother Xuanyuan, as Ancestor Witches, you know the actual situation of our Witch Clan. Apart from a few of us and Jiu Feng, the rest of our kin have no primordial spirits and cannot comprehend laws. These things would be useless to them."

"That won't do!"

Xuanyuan still refused.

Comprehending laws was related to a person's origin. Once leaked, the consequences would be extremely severe.

Although he was confident that the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird wouldn't do such a thing, it was better to be safe than sorry.

If these things were truly leaked, Dijiang could easily be targeted by those with ill intentions.

As the leader of the Ancestor Witches and the true controller of the Witch Clan, any accident involving him would be a fatal blow to the entire Witch Clan.

The risk was too great; Xuanyuan dared not take the chance.

"Let me finish!"

Dijiang interrupted Xuanyuan and explained, "Don't think we're usually slow-witted. We understand everything. Our Witch Clan is about to face a huge crisis. We can't overcome it with just us. Since they are your disciples, we naturally trust them."

He looked at the Six-Eared Macaque, Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, and the other two. "We don't expect you to fight to the death for the Witch Clan; that's meaningless. We only hope that if such a day truly comes, you will preserve as many of the Witch Clan as you can within your abilities, so that the vast Witch Clan is not wiped out!"

Dijiang spoke very sincerely, even moving Xuanyuan.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew more inside information than Dijiang.

If things proceeded according to the normal course, the battle between the Witch and Demon clans would result in mutual destruction.

The two once powerful races that controlled the Primordial World would be nearly annihilated.

Only a small number of survivors from both clans would retreat from the center of the Primordial World, hide, and struggle to survive.

He just hadn't expected that Dijiang, who always seemed carefree and guileless, could see all this so clearly and was already planning a way out for the Witch Clan.

Since Dijiang had said so much, Xuanyuan, as a fellow Ancestor Witch of the Witch Clan, naturally wouldn't try to dissuade him further.

Although he firmly believed that with him as a variable, the Witch Clan would absolutely not repeat its mistakes in this life.

However, Dijiang's early planning was also a good choice.

"Since your Martial Uncle has said so, Great Peng, you should accept it!"

Xuanyuan instructed the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird to take the jade stone Dijiang handed over, then looked at the Six-Eared Macaque, Kong Xuan, Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, and Sihuxiang. He warned them, "Since you are my disciples, you are considered half-members of the Witch Clan. From now on, you must remember that no matter what happens, you must not do anything that betrays the Witch Clan. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The Six-Eared Macaque, Kong Xuan, and the other two quickly agreed. They had never seen their master so stern.

"Alright, relax everyone!"

Zhujiuyin stepped forward to ease the tension. He looked at Kong Xuan and smiled, "Your innate divine ability is the Five-Colored Divine Light, which is said to be able to brush away anything. It is indeed very powerful, but it also has its drawbacks!"

"Please guide me, Martial Uncle!"

Kong Xuan bowed respectfully to Zhujiuyin and earnestly asked for advice.

Among the four, he was the most arrogant. If he hadn't transformed so late and was still burdened by the karma of the Phoenix Clan, he wouldn't have needed Xuanyuan's help to enter Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao in the Outer Heavens.

In the beginning, he actually looked down on the Witch Clan. He only became Xuanyuan's disciple out of pure gratitude.

But since arriving at Qianyuan Mountain, he realized how shortsighted and arrogant he had been.

Xuanyuan's strength and foundation might not even be comparable to the Phoenix Clan, which was once incredibly powerful and led the entire Feathered Tribe.

And since Xuanyuan was willing to call Zhujiuyin "brother," Zhujiuyin's strength was beyond doubt.

Zhujiuyin nodded and said, "Your greatest fear is that your opponent has a means of escape, isn't that right?"

"Martial Uncle is correct!"

Kong Xuan was completely convinced. Zhujiuyin had indeed pointed out the fatal flaw in his innate divine ability.

He looked at Zhujiuyin, his eyes full of hope.

Since this Martial Uncle could pinpoint the flaw in his innate divine ability with such accuracy, he likely had a solution.

As expected, Zhujiuyin did not disappoint him.

"This is my comprehension of the Great Dao of Time Law. If cultivated to the extreme, it can freeze time. Unless the opponent's strength far surpasses yours, they won't be able to escape. Consider it a meeting gift from your Martial Uncle!"

Zhujiuyin also handed over a jade stone containing his complete comprehension of the Great Dao of Time Law.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle!"

Kong Xuan took the jade stone, his hands trembling.

The Great Dao of Time Law was exactly what he needed most.

There was a saying in the Primordial World: "Time is revered, Space is king, Fate does not appear, Karma reigns supreme."

The Great Dao of Time Law was known as the foremost law after the Great Dao of Strength Law.

This showed its formidable power.

He had long coveted the Great Dao of Time Law but had no way to seek it.

He never expected that his Martial Uncle Zhujiuyin would give it to him as a meeting gift.

This welcome gift is too precious.

More precious than the Great Dao of Space Law that the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird received.

Kong Xuan didn't know how to express his gratitude.

After Zhujiuyin, Houtu passed on the Great Dao of Earth Law to Sihuxiang.

Qiangliang and Tianwu, the two Ancestor Witches, then passed on the Great Dao of Thunder Law and the Great Dao of Wind Law to the Six-Eared Macaque.

They also gave the four of them some Solar Essence Stones that they had snatched from Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

The apprenticeship gifts were all presented.

Jiu Feng and Xing Tian, the two great witches, were filled with envy.

Seeing this, Xuanming passed on her insights into the Great Dao of Ice Law to Jiu Feng.

Only Xing Tian was left, and the Twelve Ancestor Witches truly didn't know what gift to give him.

They were all his disciples, and Xuanyuan felt he couldn't show favoritism. He sent his divine sense into the Chaos Cauldron, searched for a while, and finally found the Great Dao of Strength Law cultivation method, which he passed on to Xing Tian.

The Great Dao of Strength Law was the Dao-proving Law of Great God Pangu.

It was known as the foremost Great Dao Law in the Primordial World.

Xing Tian's physical body was powerful, comparable to that of an Ancestor Witch.

He was most suited to cultivating the Great Dao of Strength Law.

At this moment, Xuanyuan also realized that the reason the Maozi were better than before was not due to different System sign-in rewards, but rather because of the Chaos Cauldron.

When he had accepted Six-Eared Macaque, Kong Xuan, and the other two as disciples, the Qiankun Cauldron had advanced to the Chaos Spirit Treasure – the Chaos Cauldron – after completing the mission.

One of the functions of the Chaos Cauldron was to increase the quantity and quality of items placed within it.

Whether the quantity had increased, Xuanyuan wasn't really sure.

It was simply because he had placed too many things into the Chaos Cauldron.

But the increase in quality was obvious.

In just a few hundred years, the quality of the Maozi had improved by at least one tier.

"What a treasure!"

Xuanyuan was filled with emotion, grateful for his wise decision back then.
