Years passed like a shuttle. Three thousand years later, within the Dao Seeking Palace on the Western Continent, Daoist Houtu saw Ye Xuan cease the Sound of the Great Dao from his mouth, and a trace of reluctance appeared on her face.
After Ye Xuan's sermon, Daoist Houtu felt that her mastery of the Great Dao of Earth had increased by at least another ten percent. Once she returned and meditated on it, she could improve it by another five percent or so. Moreover, relying on this single Great Dao of Earth, she could develop other supreme mysteries.
"The Great Dao of Earth actually possesses such supreme mysteries. Houtu has been taught. Not only does it have the distinction of Yin Earth and Yang Earth, but it can also incorporate the power of the Ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches."
Furthermore, among the Ways of Five Elements, Earth was the most wondrous Great Dao. The other four Great Daos each had four mysteries, but the Great Dao of Earth had as many as six. It was only because the Five Elements needed to be complete that two were removed; only after reaching great accomplishment could they be reintegrated.
Once they were reintegrated, relying on the Power of Seasonal Cycles, one could grasp a hint of the mystery of time, merging the Great Dao of Time among the Three Thousand Great Daos into it.
However, for Ye Xuan, he needed to achieve great accomplishment in the Way of Five Elements. But Daoist Houtu was different; she only sought the Great Dao of Earth and could use it all in one go.
Such supreme Daoic scriptures, if no one taught them orally, would require endless years to comprehend, and even after endless years, one might still fail to understand them.
Looking at Ye Xuan, Daoist Houtu turned her palm over, and an Innate Spiritual Treasure appeared in her hand—it was the High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Mountain Driving Whip.
"This Innate Spiritual Treasure is useless to me, so I shall gift it to you, Daoist friend."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Ye Xuan's face.
"A High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
Among Innate God-Demons, a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was considered a supreme treasure. Of the Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Primordial World, more than half were in the hands of the Dao Ancestor, some had yet to emerge, and many Innate God-Demons couldn't even produce a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"Daoist Houtu is too kind. Exchanging insights with you has greatly benefited me as well. I feel unworthy to accept this!"
Beside him, Daoist Houtu's expression turned serious: "Although both of us have gained, I only have the Great Dao of Earth, while you have the Way of Five Elements. My gain is greater. This Innate Spiritual Treasure is of no other use in my hands; only in yours can it truly shine."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan thought for a moment and then agreed. The Twelve Ancestral Witches and others mainly relied on their physical strength and supreme laws.
Their physical strength was immensely powerful, surpassing even Innate Spiritual Treasures.
It was only natural that she didn't want it. After explaining some things to her, Daoist Houtu took her leave, eager to return to secluded cultivation. Seeing her leave, Ye Xuan had Golden Cicada return as well, and then he entered secluded cultivation.
The Great Dao of Earth could nurture the Golden Great Dao. Once the Great Dao of Earth was thoroughly comprehended, it would greatly benefit his Golden Great Dao.
After Ye Xuan entered seclusion, endless years passed again, and the Primordial World remained calm.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches and others were stunned by such supreme wondrous methods.
Using a single Great Dao of Earth to encompass the supreme Great Dao of Time—how bold was that?
But after a moment of shock, the Twelve Ancestral Witches couldn't help but show ecstasy.
Their physical strength and personal Daos had long reached a bottleneck. With Ye Xuan's guidance, they could ascend another level, and they too entered secluded cultivation.
As for Ye Xuan, he remained in seclusion. During his seclusion, Daoist Zhunti also emerged from seclusion, exchanged insights with Ye Xuan again, and then returned to seclusion.
[Ding Dong!]
[Detected that the final sermon ten thousand years from now will begin. Please choose from the options below, Host.]
[Option One: The Dao Ancestor holds the Jade Plate Fragment, and his strength is unmatched. Go to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Great Dao. Complete the task to obtain one of the Innate Five Directional Banners, the Azure Treasure Lotus Banner.]
[Option Two: Go to Mount Buzhou to exchange insights with the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Complete the task to obtain a drop of Pangu's Essence Blood!]
[Option Three: Stay steady and do nothing, ignore everything, and keep cultivating hard. Complete the task to obtain a seed of the Innate Spiritual Root, the Fusang Tree.]
Another Electronic Sound reached Ye Xuan's ears.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan opened his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Going to the Purple Cloud Palace was pure fantasy. Ye Xuan was confident that once the Three Thousand Heavens were perfected, he could stand above Pangu himself. Why would he need to go to the Purple Cloud Palace?
Moreover, he had already taken over all the great Karma. There was no longer any connection between the other party and the West. Even if he went, he would only gain some Innate Spiritual Treasures, which might not even be useful to him.
After thinking it over, Ye Xuan looked at the second and third options, a contemplative expression on his face.
The second option required him to go to Mount Buzhou to visit the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Completing the task would grant him a drop of Pangu's Essence Blood—this was the blood of Pangu!
Anything related to Pangu was a supreme treasure.
But if he went to see the Twelve Ancestral Witches, would he be dragged into the Great Tribulation?
The third option, as always, required him to stay in seclusion and not go out, granting him a Fusang Tree seed.
Ye Xuan still had a Primordial Fate Stone in his possession that he hadn't used. Once he integrated it and with endless Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi, he could obtain another Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root in a few days.
Weighing his options, a smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face. He had been too cautious. Even if he were truly dragged into the Great Tribulation, with his abilities, no one below a Saint could match him. As long as he didn't join forces with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, there was only a slight risk. So he spoke again.
"I choose the second option—go to Mount Buzhou to visit the Twelve Ancestral Witches!"
After Ye Xuan made his choice, another Electronic Sound reached his ears.
[Ding Dong!]
[Host has chosen to visit the Twelve Ancestral Witches. One drop of Pangu's Essence Blood is being distributed. Please check it yourself, Host.]
The void twisted again, and amidst a flash of divine light, a drop of supreme divine blood materialized.
"Boom!"
Within the divine blood, an aura surpassing that of a Saint burst forth. Its Divine Might soared to the heavens, containing endless vitality, surpassing even the Three Light Divine Water. Although it was only a trace of essence blood, Ye Xuan could feel an overwhelming pressure within it.
His own strength was equivalent to half of a Quasi-Saint Late Stage, but compared to Pangu, who was above Saints, it was nothing.
Looking at this drop of essence blood entering his hand, a solemn expression appeared on Ye Xuan's face.
Within Pangu's blood, the imprint of Pangu had long dissipated. Otherwise, if it still had spirituality, its pressure would be even greater.
"Although it's only a trace of essence blood, any ordinary Quasi-Saint who came under this immense pressure would have their physical body shattered. Among all the Innate God-Demons, only I can use it."
As for others, even if the Twelve Ancestral Witches came and swallowed it, their physical bodies would explode!
