As time passed, another ten thousand years went by. Ye Xuan hadn't been idle during this time. First, he integrated one-tenth of the Sword Law into his other Great Daos, then tried to comprehend the Law of Derivation.
This Supreme Great Dao was derived from the concept of evolution, complementing the workings of Heaven and Earth. One level higher was the Boundless Great Dao, which granted boundless power with every gesture and could shatter ten thousand laws with a single force. Like the Sword Law, it could complement countless other Great Daos and enhance their power.
As Ye Xuan secluded himself to cultivate and comprehend the Dao, another electronic sound rang in his ears.
[Ping-dong!]
[Detected: The second Witch-Demon War will break out in ten thousand years. Host, please choose one of the following options.]
[Option One: Intervene forcefully and prevent the Witch and Demon Clans from going to war. Complete the task to receive one Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heavenly Book!]
[Option Two: Go to Mount Buzhou and join the Twelve Ancestral Witches in their assault on Heaven. Complete the task to receive one-tenth of a Law of Emotion fragment!]
[Option Three: Go to the Heavenly Court and join the Demon Emperor and the others in capturing the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Complete the task to receive one Foundation of the Great Dao!]
[Option Four: Do nothing and let the two sides go to war. Complete the task to receive one mass of Chaos Origin Qi.]
In the midst of secluded cultivation, Ye Xuan heard another electronic sound in his ears and showed a trace of surprise.
"Another war?"
The first option required him to intervene and prevent the two sides from fighting. In return, he'd receive the Heavenly Book, one of the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man: an Upper-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Investiture of the Gods, and another Upper-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the God-Beating Whip. Together, they formed a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Though it was the Heavenly Book, it was basically useless to Ye Xuan.
The second option was to help the Twelve Ancestral Witches attack the Heavenly Court, in exchange for one-tenth of the power of the Law of Emotion.
This Great Dao mainly depended on the strength of the other party's desire to pursue the Dao. If their resolve was weak, one could alter their thoughts and make them lose the will to fight. Though it wasn't suited to combat on its own, it had its own mysteries when used alongside other Great Daos.
The third option was to help the Heavenly Court and receive a Foundation of the Great Dao. Ye Xuan aspired to the Great Dao—why would he care about attaining the position of a Sage?
Besides, Ye Xuan hadn't intervened last time, and the Heavenly Court already had the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation. It was one of the Three Great Killing Arrays of the Primordial World, and once deployed, it could rival a Sage. The Twelve Ancestral Witches also had the Twelve Heavenly Gods Great Formation, which could summon an apparition of Pangu's True Body and likewise rival a Sage.
Though Ye Xuan was already invincible among Innate God-Demons, he was no match for a Sage.
He'd have to eliminate them before they could set up their formations to have even a sliver of a chance.
Once the formations were deployed, even escaping would be no easy task.
Ye Xuan shook his head and spoke.
"I'll still choose the last option. I won't get involved!"
[Ping-dong!]
[The host has chosen to do nothing and let the two sides go to war. One mass of Chaos Origin Qi is being delivered. Please check it yourself.]
After Ye Xuan made his choice, another electronic sound rang in his ears.
Chaos Divine Light flashed through the void, and a glowing mass radiating endless Chaos Qi entered Ye Xuan's hand.
Endless Chaos Qi swirled across the mass in shades of black and purple, distorting even the Boundless Void.
Seeing that he'd received another mass of Chaos Origin Qi, Ye Xuan's face lit up with delight.
Once an Innate God-Demon was born, it was at least a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. This was because, during its gestation, a mass of Innate Origin Power fused with it, elevating its Innate Foundation.
If a being received even a trace of Innate Origin Power while gestating, it would at least become an Innate Being and have some hope of ascending to the Realm of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
The same was true of Innate Spiritual Roots.
Innate Spiritual Roots also contained a mass of Innate Origin Qi.
Chaos Origin Power was even more powerful—a rare treasure born only from the endless Chaos Qi.
According to legend, when each Great Dao Demon God gestated, a mass of Supreme Chaos Origin Qi fused with it, giving it a Chaos Demon God Body from birth. Its physical strength alone could rival a Sage.
This was a truly priceless treasure. Only someone with tremendous fortune could obtain it!
After thinking it over, however, Ye Xuan decided not to fuse it with his body.
His physical strength was only at the Realm of Quasi-Saint, and he'd reached that realm only thanks to the Thunder Demon God.
Rather than fuse it with his body and further strengthen his physical power, he'd be better off fusing it with the last Innate Gourd, the Chaos Gourd. If it could be elevated into an Innate Supreme Treasure, it would also benefit his Path of Three Corpses.
After considering it, Ye Xuan performed another divination. Only when he was sure it would work did he return to secluded cultivation.
He planned to refine the Heavenly Emperor Gourd and the final Chaos Gourd first. After fusing them together, he'd add the Chaos Origin Qi, making it easier for them to ascend into an Innate Supreme Treasure.
Another ten thousand years passed. Seeing that he'd finished refining both Innate Spiritual Treasures, Ye Xuan finally showed a trace of satisfaction.
With a lift of his hand, he infused them with another profound mystery of Karma.
Seek Cause Determine Effect!
This profound technique might not necessarily work on an Innate Supreme Treasure, but it could at least increase the chance of its ascension to an Innate Supreme Treasure. Ye Xuan already had an immense karmic debt with the Infinite Beings of the West.
Using the Way of Karma came as naturally as breathing.
After completing the preparations, Ye Xuan fused the mass of Chaos Origin Qi into them and resumed his secluded cultivation.
After his Evil Corpse had been entrusted to it, this Innate Spiritual Treasure had yet to be incorporated into the Three Thousand Heavens.
Once it was, it would make the Three Thousand Heavens seem even more lifelike and give them the wondrous ability to evolve on their own.
While Ye Xuan secluded himself to cultivate, the Primordial World was far from peaceful.
Countless years had passed since the last Witch-Demon War. Not only had both sides recovered, they'd grown even stronger. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans had long since taken over the Heavenly Court, filling its armies with experts. With the River Diagram and Luo Book, the Demon Emperor had also comprehended an unparalleled formation.
The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation!
This supreme formation harnessed the power of countless stars to form a grand array. Once deployed, it had no rival beneath the Sages!
After sensing the formation's power, the morale in the Heavenly Court soared. They seemed to believe that wiping out the Witch Clan would take no more than a wave of the hand.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had also accomplished much. They, too, had comprehended a supreme formation.
The Twelve Heavenly Gods Great Formation!
Each Ancestral Witch held a Dutian God-Sha Banner, which could draw upon the endless baleful energy beneath the earth and the endless Innate Filthy Qi. Once the formation was deployed, the Twelve Ancestral Witches could use the power of their bloodline to summon an apparition of Pangu's True Body.
Seeing how powerful Pangu's True Body was, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were overjoyed and eager for battle, ready to avenge their past defeat and seize the Heavenly Court.
