System Rewards

They continued sitting there, talking.

"Hongjun has already become a saint. Will you go to Purple Cloud Palace to listen to his preaching?" Qin Yun asked them.

Hearing this, they looked at one another.

"I don't really want to go. After all, we don't have Primordial Spirits. Even if we went, we probably wouldn't understand the Dao he preached," one of the Ancestral Witches said.

Another Ancestral Witch nodded as well.

Houtu spoke up. "I want to go. Even if I can't understand it, it would still be good to go and take a look."

The other Ancestral Witches looked at Houtu. They all knew what their younger sister was thinking.

Dijiang said, "I plan to go and take a look."

"Although we Twelve Ancestral Witches are naturally formidable, there are also many powerful beings in the Primordial Wilderness. It can't hurt to see more of the outside world."

As the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and their eldest brother, Dijiang naturally had to consider such matters.

Hearing Dijiang say this, the other Ancestral Witches also felt it made sense and nodded unconsciously.

"If Eldest Brother says we should take a look, then I want to go too," an Ancestral Witch said.

"Since Eldest Brother says we should take a look, there's no harm in going." The Ancestral Witch who had just said he did not want to go now said this.

The other Ancestral Witches nodded as well.

"Although we Ancestral Witches have no Primordial Spirits, it would still be good to listen to the Dao."

"Maybe we might gain something from it!"

"After all, it's a saint preaching the Dao. It should be good to listen."

Dijiang looked at them, then at Qin Yun. What does the Mountain God mean by asking this?

The Mountain God gave us so many good things. If we still go listen to Hongjun preach the Dao, would that make the Mountain God unhappy?

With that thought, Dijiang looked at Qin Yun again and cautiously asked, "Mountain God, did you mean something by asking this?"

When Dijiang asked this, the other Ancestral Witches could not help frowning.

What did he mean? the Ancestral Witches could not help thinking.

"I didn't mean anything." Qin Yun shook his head. "I was just asking."

"Hongjun has already become a saint. Since he is going to preach the Dao, there will definitely be many people who want to hear it. That's perfectly normal," Qin Yun said.

If no one was willing to listen to the Dao, that would be abnormal.

The Ancestral Witches looked at Qin Yun. His words seemed proper and measured, yet they still could not tell whether this was truly what Qin Yun meant.

"Mountain God, do you not want us to listen to Dao Ancestor Hongjun preach the Dao?" Dijiang asked.

When Dijiang asked this, the other Ancestral Witches also felt that might be the case.

"Mountain God, if we go listen to the Dao, will you be unhappy?" the Ancestral Witch Qiangliang asked.

"Mountain God, you've given us so many good things..."

"Mountain God, if you're unhappy, just say it directly."

Qin Yun looked at them, shook his head, and said, "I'm not unhappy. I really was just asking."

"Mountain God, if you have something to say, just say it!" the Ancestral Witch Rushou said.

"Mountain God, if you have any instructions, just say them. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west!"

"Mountain God, have you seen something? Just tell us directly."

"Mountain God, you must be a hidden master beyond the world. You must see far more than we do. Whatever you have to say, just say it."

The Ancestral Witches chimed in one after another. They all felt this Mountain God was very formidable and were willing to listen to him.

Qin Yun said, "I really was just asking..."

"It would be good for you to go and listen to Hongjun's preaching."

"I didn't mean anything by it."

Qin Yun smiled at them and waved his hand, indicating that he truly meant nothing by it.

There was nothing wrong with the Twelve Ancestral Witches going to listen to the Dao.

"However, you should do your best to increase your strength. The stronger you are, the better," Qin Yun added.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches agreed with this as well, and they nodded unconsciously.

They talked for a while longer.

Time slowly passed.

At last, the Twelve Ancestral Witches bid farewell, and Qin Yun nodded.

He saw them off.

They left the Inner Space and arrived within the temple.

They looked at the temple, then at the wooden tablet on the offering table.

"We... should offer another stick of incense to the Mountain God," Dijiang said.

Hearing this, the other Ancestral Witches did not object and nodded.

So they fetched incense, lit it, and came before the offering table. They bowed three times to the memorial tablet on the table, then inserted the incense into the burner.

Their attitudes were all devout.

[ Ding! Detected twelve Persons of Great Luck offering incense to the host. They are the Twelve Ancestral Witches. As this is the second time the Twelve Ancestral Witches have offered incense to the host today, the host has obtained 1.2 million points of Incense Value. ]

Qin Yun had not expected them to offer him incense again, and he was rather pleased inwardly.

Before long, the Twelve Ancestral Witches departed as well.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches left the Mountain God Temple and were now slowly walking along the road.

"Big Brother, should we go to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao?" Shebishi asked.

Dijiang pondered for a moment, then nodded. "We'll go."

Hearing this, the other Ancestral Witches nodded as well.

They, too, planned to go listen to the Dao.

Within the temple's interior space, Qin Yun sat inside the hall.

The system had previously rewarded him with many things. Qin Yun had taken some to give to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but some still remained.

Qin Yun had given each Ancestral Witch two Great Dao Origins, as well as Soul Fragments and Pangu Blood Essence.

He had given them all the Soul Fragments and Pangu Blood Essence.

There seemed to be little use in keeping the Soul Fragments and Pangu Blood Essence for himself, so Qin Yun had given them all away.

If they refined the Pangu Blood Essence, Qin Yun would benefit as well.

If they refined the Soul Fragments, Qin Yun should benefit too.

In any case, they had all offered incense to Qin Yun and become his believers. Investing in them would certainly bring him benefits.

Qin Yun looked toward the system's other rewards.

Four Origins of Great Dao Laws of Strength and four Origins of the Great Dao Law of Battle.

Two kinds of Great Dao laws.

The Origin of Strength had also been rewarded by the system before. Qin Yun had not yet had the chance to refine it, but he naturally would when the opportunity arose.

The Origin of Battle was rewarded by the system this time, and it was good stuff too!

The system had rewarded him with a Chaos Demon God Pedigree. This was also a fine thing, capable of elevating Qin Yun's pedigree to the level of a Chaos Demon God.

Qin Yun was merely an ordinary mortal. He had transmigrated body and soul together, and his pedigree was only that of an ordinary mortal.

Now that he had obtained this reward, Qin Yun was naturally delighted.

The system had rewarded him with an Innate Merit Spirit Treasure, the Hong Meng Measuring Ruler. This Hong Meng Measuring Ruler was the foremost Innate Merit Spirit Treasure, the first ruler born when heaven and earth were opened. In terms of offense, it ranked only after the Pangu Banner, and killing with it would not incur karmic consequences.

Though the Hong Meng Measuring Ruler was not especially formidable—after all, compared to a supreme killing treasure like the God Slaying Spear, it was still somewhat weaker.
