[Ding Dong!]

[Detected that within the Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor has ordered war against the Witch Clan. The first Witch-Demon War has erupted. Please choose from the options below.]

[Option One: Intervene forcefully, quell the Witch-Demon War. Witches control the earth, Demons rule the heavens. Complete the task and receive one Innate Supreme Treasure!]

[Option Two: Help the Heavenly Court suppress the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Complete the task and receive one Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Star Fruit Tree!]

[Option Three: Help the Twelve Ancestral Witches suppress the Demon Emperor and his forces. Complete the task and receive one drop of Pangu's Essence Blood!]

[Option Four: Ignore the matter, remain steady and do not act. Let the Witch-Demon War proceed. Receive one-tenth of the Five Elements Demon God Origin Power.]

Within the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain, Ye Xuan was in secluded cultivation when another electronic sound rang in his ears.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan opened his eyes, a contemplative look on his face.

"Less than one Yuanhui—faster than I imagined."

That a great war would erupt between the Witch and Demon clans was something Ye Xuan had long known. He was neither surprised nor concerned. The West was too barren; even entering a Measure Tribulation would have negligible impact on it.

Looking at the first option, Ye Xuan shook his head. If it were just the Twelve Ancestral Witches or the Heavenly Court alone, there might be some pressure, but he could still attempt it.

However, facing both the Witch and Demon forces together—forget it. Ye Xuan was not arrogant enough to think he could single-handedly suppress over a dozen Quasi-Saint level experts.

Especially since among them was Emperor Taiyi, who possessed an Innate Supreme Treasure.

The Demon Emperor was no simple figure either—his Emperor's Great Dao commanded all laws to submit.

As for Di Jiang and the others, they were born with mastery over a Great Dao—the Way of Space, the Way of Time—and when they joined forces, they could even unleash a trace of the mystery of Space-Time power.

As for the second and third options—helping one side or the other—after some thought, Ye Xuan abandoned them. Choosing either would drag him into the Great Tribulation. Once a Sage was caught in a Measure Tribulation, they too could lose themselves.

If Ye Xuan were drawn in and lost himself, committing endless sins, it would be a major obstacle to his cultivation.

Especially since the Witch-Demon Tribulation was different from the Beast Tribulation, the Dragon-Phoenix Catastrophe, or the Conflict between Dao and Demon.

In this Measure Tribulation, there were Sages. It was far more dangerous. After thinking it over, Ye Xuan spoke.

"I choose the last one—ignore it."

[Ding Dong!]

[Host has chosen to ignore the matter and let the war between the two sides erupt. One-tenth of the Five Elements Demon God Origin Power is being distributed. Please check it yourself.]

Another electronic sound reached Ye Xuan's ears. Within the void, a divine light flickered.

A mass of five-colored origin power entered Ye Xuan's hands.

On the light mass, five colors—cyan, red, yellow, white, and black—flowed, illustrating the principle of mutual generation and restraint within the Way of Five Elements. Devouring the Innate Spiritual Qi around it, it exuded a trace of ancient aura.

Just holding it in his hand, Ye Xuan felt an impulse to swallow it all in one gulp.

Among the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods, the Five Elements Demon God was a supreme powerhouse. The five elements generating each other could produce endless life and the Qi of Creation; the five elements restraining each other could generate a sliver of destructive force.

"If I obtain the Way of Five Elements, it will greatly benefit my Dao Fruit."

Seeing another mass of Five Elements Demon God Origin Power in his hand, a look of wild joy appeared on Ye Xuan's face. The One Origin, Two Forms, Three Talents, Four Symbols, and Five Elements were all cornerstones of the world, immensely beneficial to the perfection of the Three Thousand Heavens. Calming himself, Ye Xuan swallowed it in one gulp.

"Boom!"

The moment it entered his body, a brilliant divine light burst from Ye Xuan, shining with five-colored radiance. His physical form emitted an incredibly ancient aura, as if he were a true Great Dao Demon God.

Ye Xuan's own origin power began to transform from within, elevating his Innate Foundation to a higher level. Comprehending the Way of Five Elements, he entered seclusion once more.

After Ye Xuan went into seclusion, another three thousand years passed. During those three thousand years, the Witch and Demon clans fought without cease. Blood flowed like rivers across the land. Beneath the Golden Immortal realm, life was as cheap as grass in the Measure Tribulation. Even Primordial Unity Golden Immortals could only barely survive. Above the nine heavens, Disaster Qi roiled, and the aura of slaughter shook the heavens.

Witnessing this scene, the various Innate God-Demons each activated their Innate Grand Arrays and sealed themselves away in seclusion.

Within the Spiritual Mountain, Daoist Zhunti's aura had already risen to the Realm of Quasi-Saint. Looking at the mountain of corpses and seas of blood at the foot of Mount Buzhou, he shook his head. If the two sides hadn't gone to war, he might have been able to convert some people over.

Although the Innate Spiritual Qi in the West had diminished to less than a tenth, that very scarcity made it safer. But the Measure Tribulation had already begun. Even as a Quasi-Saint, if he went there, he would be dragged into the Great Tribulation.

"Just as Eldest Brother thought—the Demon Emperor and his ilk truly did not ascend to the position of Great Heavenly Venerate."

A strange look crossed Daoist Zhunti's face. Once a stalemate set in, the Witch and Demon clans would repeat the same mistakes as Ancestor Dragon and the others—ending in mutual destruction.

"Forget it. It has nothing to do with me. I should focus on achieving Three Corpses Unification and obtaining the Sage Dao Fruit—that is the true priority."

In his hands, he not only possessed the only complete Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method among the Innate God-Demons but also three treasures of the same root. He was the most promising candidate among all Innate God-Demons to become a Sage. He had to seize this opportunity!

As for Ye Xuan, in Zhunti's view, once his elder brother became a Sage, he would be the next Dao Ancestor—already in a different world from himself, no longer counted among the Innate God-Demons. With that thought, he too entered seclusion.

Time flowed on. Another ten thousand years passed. Within the Dao Seeking Palace, Ye Xuan had not been idle. He had completely devoured the one-tenth of the Five Elements Demon God Origin Power. With a loud boom, a powerful aura erupted from him.

Ye Xuan opened his eyes, a satisfied expression on his face. Feeling his own strength, he realized he was beginning to transform into a Great Dao Demon God. By integrating a trace of Demon God Power, not only had his Innate Foundation greatly improved, but his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Behind Ye Xuan, a beam of light rose—cyan, red, yellow, white, and black, shining in five colors.

It was a great divine ability—the Five-Colored Divine Light!

"Innate Five Elements Qi..."

Looking at the new ability in his hand, Ye Xuan showed a look of surprise. The Five Elements Demon God Origin Power actually contained a strand of Innate Five Elements Qi—or perhaps Primordial Five Elements Qi.

This strand of Five Elements Qi was even more powerful than Daoist Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light.

If he could obtain the Innate Yin-Yang Qi, he could elevate it further and cultivate a supreme great divine ability.

The Taiyi Wonderful Divine Light!

The Five-Colored Divine Light was invincible against Quasi-Saints and Innate Spiritual Treasures, earning the reputation of "nothing within the five elements cannot be swept away." But against the Realm of Sages, it was insufficient. This Taiyi Wonderful Divine Light governed Yin and Yang, divided the Five Elements, and combined the power of the Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthly Branches. It was far stronger than the Five-Colored Divine Light and effective even against Sages.

After reading this, Ye Xuan's face lit up with joy again.

If anyone else had obtained this supreme great divine ability, it would be useless. But in Ye Xuan's hands, he happened to possess a strand of Innate Yin-Yang Qi.

"Excellent."
