Mythical Grand Unity, Saints Beg Me Not to Show Off

For a moment, the pressure on the Demon Race lessened, as if they had turned the tide.

"Hmph! A mere illusion array thinks to trap us? Break for me!"

Yet the Ancestral Witches were no easy opponents.

They cultivated no Primordial Spirit, yet their true spirits remained unclouded, their minds steadfast, illusions unable to invade them!

Dijiang suddenly punched out, Space Law erupting, directly piercing through a stretch of starry sky illusion!

Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were even more ferocious, the power of water and fire merging into a torrent of destruction, forcibly collapsing a vast section of the array!

The remaining Ancestral Witches roared in kind, relying on sheer strength and innate divine abilities to shatter the formation!

Though the Hunyuan Heluo Great Array was mighty, now solely maintained by Di Jun without the aid of the Zhou Tian Star Gods, it wavered and cracked under the brute force of the twelve Ancestral Witches, countless gaps torn open in moments!

"Pfft!"

Di Jun and Fuxi, struck by the array's backlash, spat out a mouthful of golden blood, their faces instantly turning pale.

"Big Brother!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, alarmed at the sight, rang the Chaos Bell repeatedly to drive back the surrounding Ancestral Witches and rushed to Di Jun's side.

"Elder Brother?"

Nuwa was also terrified, quickly shaking off Xuan Ming and Hou Tu to flash back beside Fuxi.

"Retreat!"

A flicker of unwillingness passed through Di Jun's eyes, but assessing the situation, he knew today was lost.

The Demon Race, facing the combined might of the twelve Ancestral Witches, had ultimately fallen short!

"Want to leave? Leave your lives behind!" The Ancestral Witches refused to let go, ready to pursue.

Yet the Demon Race's foundation ran deep. Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi joined forces, activating the River Diagram and Luo Book along with the Chaos Bell to forcibly open a path, wrapping up the remnants of the Demon army and retreating in a flurry of light toward the Heavenly Realm!

"Hahaha! Demon brats, nothing special!"

"We'll spare you today, but if you trespass again, death is certain!"

The Ancestral Witches, watching the Demon Race's retreating backs, roared with earth-shaking jeers, their voices spreading across the Primordial Wilderness.

This battle, though brief, was fierce, with losses on both sides, yet the result was the Demon Race's defeat.

As news spread, the entire Primordial Wilderness shook!

Countless great beings hidden in various Grotto-Heavens turned their gazes toward the Witch and Demon Clans, their eyes varied.

Some gloated: "Heh, the Demon Race? Ruling all beings? Now it seems nothing but a joke!"

Others were solemn: "The Witch Clan's physical bodies are this formidable! The twelve Ancestral Witches joining forces can even break the Hunyuan Heluo Great Array—no one will be able to control them in the future."

Some calculated: "The Witch-Demon conflict—perhaps our opportunity is at hand?"

The Demon Race's high-profile emergence ended in an embarrassing defeat.

Far from intimidating anyone, it became a laughingstock among the great beings of the Primordial Wilderness, dealing a significant blow to the prestige of Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Meanwhile, deep within Buzhou Mountain, near the mountain hollow shrouded by Chaos Qi Flow.

Ao Chen, carefully sneaking and searching for Innate Spiritual Treasures, suddenly felt a stir in his heart. He looked up toward the distant horizon.

Chapter 24: Mythical Heavenly Immortal Mid-Stage, Great Dao Origin Scripture Immortal Chapter Emerges

Though billions of miles from the battlefield, with Buzhou Mountain blocking the way, Ao Chen keenly caught a trace of the earth-shattering energy collision and the hasty retreating aura of the Demon Race.

His divine sense stirred slightly, and combining it with his known information, he instantly deduced the general situation.

"So the Witch and Demon Clans finally clashed?"

"The Hunyuan Heluo Great Array lost?"

A faint, almost imperceptible smile curled at the corner of Ao Chen's mouth, his eyes carrying a hint of understanding and a touch of disdain.

He wasn't surprised the Demon Race lost.

Were they weak?

In truth, no. The Four Emperors of the Demon Race were all Innate Divine Beings, the Ten Great Demon Gods were no pushovers, and with many Taiyi-level great demons, they were undisputed overlords at this point in time.

But unfortunately, they faced the Witch Clan—a race even saints would later fear deeply.

The Witch Clan was born strong, their bodies divine, granting them a degree of immunity to divine abilities—a natural counter to the Demon Race. Their defeat was only natural.

In later ages, if not for Hongjun's biased intervention, the Demon Race would have been wiped out long ago, with no such outcome as both Witch and Demon falling together.

"Still, this has nothing to do with me. This search should be compiled, and I should break through."

"Ten thousand years of accumulation, succeeding in one fell swoop—so it should be."

Ao Chen withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to the external conflicts, and poured all his focus back into the target before him.

Over these tens of thousands of years, he had gained no small harvest—four innate spiritual treasures and even an innate spiritual root.

Although the innate spiritual treasures were all low-grade, Ao Chen didn't mind. After all, his purpose in seeking them wasn't for use, but to observe the different innate spiritual lights within each.

As for that innate spiritual root, its grade was quite high—a top-grade innate spiritual root named the Five Elements Pine Needle Tree.

Even Ao Chen himself was somewhat surprised when he obtained this spiritual root.

After all, a top-grade innate spiritual root was something that, even in later ages, would stir the hearts of sages upon sight—and yet he had acquired it by chance.

Of course, the emergence of such a treasure did not come without turmoil.

For the sake of this Five Elements Pine Needle Tree, he had even clashed with a primordial beast whose strength reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level.

Its form resembled a qilin, but it bore a single horn and was heavy with Sha Qi.

That beast was no weakling, but before Ao Chen, who was already a Mythical Heavenly Immortal, it still fell short.

Ao Chen did not kill it. He merely executed the Grass Extinguishing Sword Art, easily severing one of its forelimbs and its horn. After displaying such overwhelming power, the beast wisely retreated, diving deep into the earth's veins, not daring to show itself again.

Ao Chen couldn't be bothered to pursue. He took the Five Elements Pine Needle Tree and departed at his leisure.

After all, his goal was the spiritual root. He bore no great enmity toward that beast—cutting off one limb as a light punishment was enough.

"With these four innate spiritual treasures, I should be able to perfect the Great Dao Origin Scripture: True Immortal Chapter."

"Moreover, after all these years walking through Buzhou Mountain, my foundation is already solid. It's about time I break through to the mid-stage of Mythical Heavenly Immortal."

With this thought, Ao Chen directly dove deep into the mountain forest, seeking a secluded place to go into seclusion.

A short while later, Ao Chen stopped before a hidden valley, surrounded by a winding mountain stream nine times over and perpetually shrouded in innate cloud mist.

Here, spiritual energy was so dense it had nearly turned solid. Natural maze formations and defensive arrays guarded the place, making it difficult even for an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to intrude.

"This is the place."

Ao Chen nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, he laid down several profound concealment restrictions, completely sealing off all internal and external auras. Then, with a flicker of his form, he vanished into the valley.

Inside the valley, a green stone platform was as smooth as a mirror, and beside it, a clear spiritual spring gurgled softly.

Ao Chen arrived at the stone platform and sat cross-legged. His mind instantly sank into a state of serene emptiness.

His first goal was to perfect the Great Dao Origin Scripture: Mythical True Immortal Chapter, which concerned his future path.

With a single thought, four low-grade innate spiritual treasures quietly floated before him.

The four treasures shimmered with light, each emitting a distinct yet pure innate dao rhythm—sharp, illusory, heavy, and blazing.

Ao Chen's eyes were tightly shut. His primordial spirit seemed to split into countless perspectives, simultaneously sinking into these four spiritual treasures.

He even released the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Chaos Gourd and the Kunwu Sword, letting them reflect in the void.

Different laws, different dao rhythms—under his heaven-defying comprehension, they were rapidly stripped down to their most fundamental law information. Then, they collided, verified, and merged with the theoretical framework of the Mythical True Immortal Chapter he had previously constructed.

The obscure, missing, and imperfect key points in the original framework were now receiving the most precise "patches" and "lubricants."

Countless sparks of inspiration burst and exploded within his sea of consciousness.

The content of the Great Dao Origin Scripture: Mythical True Immortal Chapter became clear, smooth, and flawless at a visible pace.

From how to construct a stable and immortal true-self dao domain, to how to use it as an anchor to perceive and gradually draw in past and future bodies, to how to truly achieve "Use My Heart to Replace Heavenly Heart" and realize complete independence and transcendence...

All the details, all the steps, all the barriers—were deduced, perfected, and connected one by one.

Boom!

After an unknown span of time, when the last stagnant dao rhythm was fully smoothed out and integrated into the general outline of the technique, a dazzling divine light erupted within Ao Chen's sea of consciousness!

A supreme scripture pointing directly to the path of the Mythical True Immortal had finally, in his hands, fully emerged.

Great Dao Origin Scripture: Mythical True Immortal Chapter—completed!

Having successfully perfected the True Immortal Chapter technique, Ao Chen's mind was clear and serene, his Dao Heart more steadfast than ever.

Without any pause, he immediately began the second step—elevating his own realm!
