Primordial Era: The Dao Wasn't Finished, But the Ancestor Witches Had Already Become Saints
Wood Ancestral Witch Gou Mang, Water Ancestral Witch Gong Gong, Poison Ancestral Witch Shebishi, Ice Ancestral Witch Xuanming, including the Metal Ancestral Witch Ru Shou who did not come, couldn't they all travel using Divine Power?
That was completely normal, and there was totally no need to feel discouraged over such a thing.
However, seeing Zhu Rong's pathetic display immediately balanced Li Hao's mood.
He merely hadn't grasped what kind of Divine Power was his own.
Compared to someone like Zhu Rong who clearly had Divine Power yet could do nothing at all, he was simply much stronger, right?
With his mind no longer vexed, he comfortably began to enjoy the convenience provided by his older brothers and sisters.
The Ancestor Witches took turns using their Divine Power to travel, and their speed could be described as reaching the absolute extreme.
In less than a hundred years, the group... of witches arrived in the Western Lands.
Looking at the two regions separated by a mere thread yet feeling as distant as a heavenly chasm, Li Hao secretly sighed.
The great decisive battle of the Devil Dao back then took place right in Luohu's stronghold, which was the Western Lands.
And after Luohu was defeated, his self-detonation directly blew up the spiritual veins of the entire Western Lands.
Although endless years had passed by now, and the Western Lands had long since recuperated, it still couldn't compare in the slightest to the Eastern Land.
The land here was extremely barren, and the Spiritual Energy was unusually thin.
It presented a miserable sight of the sun setting behind the western hills, fragmented and dilapidated.
Houtu possessed the Law of Earth and was exceptionally sensitive to the perception of the earth.
The moment she stepped into the territory of the Western Lands, or rather along the way as they approached the West, she already felt quite uncomfortable.
She knitted her pretty brows and looked at Li Hao.
Little Brother, will there really be treasures here?
Eldest Sister only feels quite uncomfortable.
Li Hao was slightly stunned, then came to an understanding.
In later generations, Houtu was a great deity who controlled the changes of mountains and lands as well as various mountain and earth gods, practically existing as the Mother of Earth.
The barren and dilapidated appearance of the West would naturally trigger her discomfort.
Li Hao frowned.
Eldest Sister, how about you go a bit further away and wait for us?
Once we finish hunting for treasure, we'll go find you, alright?
Houtu shook her head. No! I'm going with you. It's just that my heart feels a bit uncomfortable, not that my body is suffering!
Just as Houtu said, this place merely made her heart feel somewhat awkward.
It didn't harm her body, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed behind.
Of course, even if it truly harmed her body, she would absolutely never leave her precious little brother.
Little brother had to remain within her line of sight at all times.
There were simply too many flirting Fox Demons in the Primordial Era.
In just the Purple Heaven Palace alone, she had run into two fox demons, one big and one small.
She had to be careful and make sure not to accidentally let someone else hook her little brother away.
Li Hao nodded, then looked around.
He knew there were treasures in the West, but he didn't know where they specifically were!
If he searched blindly and randomly, goodness knew when he would find them.
However, he couldn't just ponder like this either; he had to take action first.
If he didn't take action, he would never find anything.
Leading the Ancestor Witches in circles, crossing one river after another, and climbing over one mountain after another, he spent a full thirty years searching to still no avail.
On this day, Li Hao sat despondently by the side of a pool of lake water, venting his frustration by throwing stones into the lake.
Houtu watched with a heartache so intense it was almost unbearable, wishing to comfort him, yet not knowing how to speak up.
Suddenly, Li Hao trembled all over and froze in place.
It wasn't because he had thought of something; it was mainly because in just that very flash of an instant, he seemed to smell a strange, intoxicating fragrance rushing toward him.
The duration was very short, yet it was extremely rich.
He could conclude that this was definitely not an ordinary object.
He only wondered where this thing came from.
While he was feeling puzzled, the system prompt rang out.
[The host is detected to have discovered a Primordial Object.]
Li Hao looked around in all directions, but found nothing.
Knowing that the system had more to say, he quietly waited.
A moment later.
[The Primordial Object is blocked by a restriction. If the host has need of it, fifteen thousand Points can be spent to lift it.]
Li Hao sneered in his heart, as it was just as he had anticipated.
With the system's piss-poor personality, he had already figured it out thoroughly.
Dropping half the prompt and keeping the other half—wasn't it all for his pitiful amount of Points?
Bring it on, then; I'll give them to you.
He decisively chose to consume Points to remove it—what else could he do?
Since he already knew a Primordial Object existed, could he possibly just give up?
Besides, Li Hao was indeed harboring some anticipation in his heart.
This was by the lake; what could grow in water besides lotus flowers?
The reason for his anticipation was mainly because that Jieyin seemed to be transformed from a white lotus in the West.
Of course, this white lotus wasn't any rare item.
Yet what accompanied the white lotus was an absolute treasure.
That was none other than the Bodhi Tree, one of the Ten Primordial Spiritual Roots.
Which was also Zhunti's true form.
Speaking of which, that Zhunti was able to take human form, which could be considered the result of favorable karma.
Cultivation was difficult, and taking human form was even harder.
Whether a Primordial Object could take human form was basically predetermined long ago.
Outside of destiny, unless it was an object with immensely vast karmic fortune, there was basically no possibility of taking human form.
Even the Bodhi Tree, one of the Ten Primordial Spiritual Roots, was no exception.
Chapter 33: Zhunti: Senior Brother, I feel very bad, yet I can't articulate where it hurts
Just as Li Hao chose to lift the restriction, Dijiang not far away, just like Houtu, was secretly worried about Li Hao in his heart.
Thirteenth Brother looks like he's taking a huge hit.
But thinking about it, it made sense too; they had led the big guys around for so long yet found nothing. Even if the older brothers didn't bring up this matter, he must surely be feeling terrible inside, right?
How could they comfort him?
Dijiang slowly stepped forward.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a wisp of Geng Metal Qi suddenly rise, shining brilliantly with a light that pierced people's eyes.
Dijiang instinctively blocked his eyes, leaving only a tiny crack between his fingers in order to watch.
Simultaneously with the appearance of the light, the surrounding misty vapor surged up accordingly.
Instantly, brilliant colors burst forth, as if one had been placed inside a fairyland.
Soon, the light faded and the mist dispersed.
A Bodhi Tree that blotted out the sky sprang vividly into view.
The tree was nearly a million zhang tall, and its canopy covered the sky with at least tens of millions of li in expanse.
Between the tree canopy, wisps of Geng Metal Qi could be faintly seen circulating.
Even more, colorful clouds flew side by side while spiritual lights flickered.
It was truly profoundly mysterious and possessed infinite marvelous methods.
At this moment, the Ancestor Witches also noticed this spectacle.
There was shock, there was amazement, and there was even beating one's chest and stamping one's feet in regret.
