Time passed, and half a Yuanhui later, Ye Xuan had refined most of the Innate Indestructible Divine Light within the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Creation Cauldron. Only the final strand remained, one that could only be fully mastered at the Realm of Sages, and so it remained unrefined.
Moreover, he had not only mastered it but also merged the Universe Ruler into the Heaven Measuring Ruler, elevating it to a higher level.
With these two supreme treasures in hand, Ye Xuan could contend even with an ordinary Quasi-Saint Late Stage cultivator. Though he might not gain the upper hand, it would be no easy task for his opponent to take him down.
While he was in secluded cultivation, within the Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor and the others had further perfected their great formation. Seated high in the grand hall, the Demon Emperor's expression darkened. Though they had refined it and increased its power, subduing the Pangu True Body was still no simple matter.
"Eldest Brother, relying on us alone to take down the Twelve Ancestral Witches is no easy feat!"
"In our Heavenly Court, there are only four Innate God-Demons, but the Twelve Ancestral Witches number twelve!"
Beside him, Daoist Fuxi also spoke up.
"Emperor Taiyi speaks sense!"
"We need a few more fellow Daoists to have any chance of victory when war breaks out with the Witch Clan in the future."
Hearing this, the Demon Emperor's face showed a contemplative expression as he looked at Fuxi and the others and asked, "Second Younger Brother, Xi Huang, which fellow Daoist do you wish to invite into our Heavenly Court?"
After he spoke, Emperor Taiyi and Daoist Fuxi exchanged a glance before replying, "On the Western Continent, if Daoist Jieyin were willing to enter the Heavenly Court, we could surely take down the Twelve Ancestral Witches!"
Hearing this, the Demon Emperor fell into deep thought once more. Ye Xuan's strength had been witnessed in the previous Yuanhui—truly formidable. Without relying on the Twelve Heavenly Gods Great Formation or the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, he alone could subdue the Demon Emperor and the others, even the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
"Excellent!"
"This fellow Daoist is indeed powerful, but Second Younger Brother is impulsive by nature. Would Xi Huang be willing to make the trip?"
Hearing this, Daoist Fuxi gave a wry smile and was about to speak when Daoist Nuwa interjected, "Let me go. I wish to seek guidance on how the Five Elements Dao can manifest the mysteries of other Daos."
Seeing her speak, the Demon Emperor was momentarily startled but then agreed.
"Excellent!"
"It would be best for Nuwa to make the trip. If the other party is willing to enter the Heavenly Court, Imperial We can grant them the Demon Emperor Position and share the fate of the realm. If they have other requests, they may also speak freely."
Hearing such a generous offer, the others drew in sharp breaths. But upon reflection, if that person entered the Heavenly Court, subduing the Twelve Ancestral Witches would be effortless, so they held their tongues. Daoist Nuwa nodded slightly and departed for the Endless Western Continent.
After she left, an electronic sound reached Ye Xuan's ears.
[Ding Dong!]
[Detected that within the Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor has ordered Daoist Nuwa to come to the Western Continent to seek an audience with the Host, intending to invite the Host into the Heavenly Court and share the Demon Emperor Position. Please choose from the options below.]
[Option One: Agree to meet Daoist Nuwa, engage in Dao discussion with her, and comprehend a trace of the Way of Creation's mystery. Complete the task to receive a ten percent Destruction Law Fragment.]
[Option Two: Enter the Heavenly Court with Zhunti, help resolve the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Complete the task to receive a drop of Pangu's Essence Blood!]
[Option Three: Ignore her and let her leave. Complete the task to receive a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Seven-Colored Cloud Veil.]
Ye Xuan had been in secluded cultivation, attempting to comprehend the Way of Creation within the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Creation Cauldron.
Hearing this, he emerged from his seclusion, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Let me enter the Heavenly Court?"
Ye Xuan shook his head. Entering the Heavenly Court was not a good thing. Being dragged into the Great Tribulation by the power of fate was inadvisable.
However, letting her leave would only yield a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, while discussing the Dao with her would grant him a ten percent fragment of the Way of Destruction.
After some thought, Ye Xuan spoke.
"Choose the first option. Meet with her."
After he spoke, another electronic sound reached his ears.
[Ding Dong!]
[Host has chosen to meet Daoist Nuwa and engage in Dao discussion with her. The ten percent Destruction Law Fragment is being distributed. Please check it yourself.]
From the void, a stream of information regarding the Way of Destruction entered Ye Xuan's Primordial Spirit.
After a brief inspection, Ye Xuan opened his eyes and sent a voice into the Spiritual Mountain.
"Golden Cicada!"
Though his voice was not loud, it reached Golden Cicada's ears directly.
Golden Cicada, who had been in secluded cultivation, opened his eyes upon hearing this. With a flicker of his form, he entered the Dao Seeking Palace.
"Master!"
Looking at Golden Cicada, Ye Xuan noted that his strength had also advanced a step. A satisfied expression appeared on his face as he gave an order.
"Golden Cicada, an honored guest is about to arrive. Go and receive them."
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Golden Cicada went to the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain to await the honored guest.
"An honored guest? With Master's strength, they must be at least an Innate God-Demon, right?"
Golden Cicada thought for a moment, then shook his head. His master was the first among the Innate God-Demons to advance to Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage through his own power, and he possessed the Three Supreme Dharma Gates.
The honored guest he spoke of must be among the strongest of the Innate God-Demons. As Golden Cicada pondered this, a graceful figure appeared outside the Spiritual Mountain, revealing her true form.
The newcomer wore a palace dress, her face cold and proud, her phoenix eyes carrying a trace of authority. A phoenix hairpin adorned her black hair, and with lotus steps she moved, every gesture exuding an air of grace and nobility. Golden Cicada felt an immense pressure just from a single glance.
"Greetings, Your Excellency. This Humble One is named Golden Cicada. My master long instructed me to await you here. Please, honored guest, enter and speak!"
Looking at Daoist Nuwa, Golden Cicada confirmed she was the esteemed visitor and offered a bow.
Daoist Nuwa glanced at Golden Cicada, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. One of the Five Great Fierce Beasts, with such an Innate Foundation—no small matter. The Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain indeed held some mystery. She spoke.
"Good."
This was the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain; who his master was, one could tell at a glance. She did not press further and entered the Spiritual Mountain alongside him.
The moment she stepped inside, Daoist Nuwa's face showed a hint of shock. Within the Spiritual Mountain, endless Chaos Spiritual Qi surged—such Innate Spiritual Qi made this the foremost cultivation holy land. Secluded cultivation here would yield progress a thousand times faster.
Gazing at the thousand-plus Innate Spiritual Roots atop the Spiritual Mountain, even Daoist Nuwa couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.
By the time she entered the Dao Seeking Palace, her face still held a look of awe.
"Daoist Nuwa greets fellow Daoist!"
Looking at Ye Xuan, Daoist Nuwa offered a solemn bow. Though both were Innate God-Demons, Ye Xuan was the one who had single-handedly withstood the lingering might of a Saint—the strongest among Innate God-Demons. She had to show proper respect.
