Ancestral Witch: Find an Opportunity to Visit the Sun Star

Pangu Temple.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches gathered together, and Houtu recounted the events that had transpired at Purple Heaven Palace.

"Hongjun actually wanted the Golden Crows to establish a Heavenly Court to monitor the world and maintain order in the Primordial World?"

Dijiang's face revealed a look of astonishment; this move by the Sage was clearly a sign of dissatisfaction with their Witch Clan, an attempt to use the Heavenly Court to restrain them.

"Those two Golden Crows did not agree. Subsequently, Sage Hongjun turned to appointing heads for the male and female immortals to lead all the male and female immortals in the Primordial World, likewise to maintain order in the Primordial World!"

Houtu continued, relaying everything that had happened at Purple Heaven Palace in detail, leaving the group of Ancestral Witches lost in thought.

"These Golden Crows are quite sensible!"

"However, these male and female immortal heads are rather interesting. Maintaining order in the Primordial World—isn't that clearly aimed at us?"

"Aimed at us? If they dare to meddle, I'll twist their heads right off!"

"Hongjun is going to preach the Dao of the Sage next time! If any great power breaks through to become a Sage, I fear it will be disadvantageous to our Witch Clan!"

The Ancestral Witches discussed the matter fervently; the first-hand intelligence brought back by Houtu was indeed useful to them.

"It is said that the Golden Crow named Ling Xiao may have broken through to the Quasi-Sage realm. Coupled with Hongjun choosing them to establish the Heavenly Court, I fear there are some secrets hidden within."

"Could it be that the Sage feels the Golden Crows can suppress us?" Zhu Jiuyin's gaze was profound, filled with the weight of passing ages; from Houtu's words, he had analyzed this point.

"Perhaps the Sage has glimpsed the future heavenly secrets...?" A flash of suspicion and confusion crossed his eyes.

"In my view, it's not that complicated. It's nothing more than the Sage knowing the Golden Crows have broken through to Quasi-Sage, so he wants to use them to restrain us!" Gonggong said dismissively.

After all, in the current Primordial World, one could likely count the number of Quasi-Sages on one hand; Hongjun doing this was merely picking the tallest among the short.

"I believe we must find an opportunity to go to the Sun Star and test the Golden Crows. If they truly pose a threat to us, we should kill them early!" Zhu Jiuyin said coldly, intending to nip the trouble in the bud.

"No matter. Even if one Golden Crow has achieved Quasi-Sage, it would be of no consequence even if all three broke through."

"The Golden Crows refused to establish the Heavenly Court, which shows they do not wish to oppose us, as could be seen from their earlier rejection of Baize."

Dijiang waved his hand and said indifferently:

"The top priority is to accelerate our expansion. Once Hongjun finishes preaching the Dao of the Sage, there may be Sages emerging, so we must strengthen our power as quickly as possible to cope with future changes."

Once these words were spoken, the other Ancestral Witches nodded in agreement.

"I have a premonition that the Three Pure Ones will soon break through to Quasi-Sage. In my view, they are our greatest enemies. Even after being suppressed so heavily, these three shameless ones still possess such profound fortune!"

Zhurong said quite seriously.

"Next time we have a chance, we must kill them and seize all the legacy of the Father God they possess!"

Qiangliang said angrily. Although his words were brash, they drew the agreement of most of the Ancestral Witches, for only in this way could they improve more rapidly.

"What you say all makes sense, but expanding our territory must be placed first. This is the foundation of our Witch Clan's strength."

Dijiang gave a final instruction.

Subsequently, the meeting concluded. The Twelve Ancestral Witches left Pangu Temple to mobilize the warriors of their tribes and launch a new round of fierce attacks.

Sun Star.

After Di Jun and Tai Yi returned, they pulled Ling Xiao aside to talk about the events at Purple Heaven Palace.

Upon hearing that Hongjun wanted them to establish the Heavenly Court, Ling Xiao gave a silent thumbs-up.

He had once speculated about this possibility, but who would have thought that Hongjun would actually take the initiative to have Di Jun and Tai Yi establish the Heavenly Court.

Although he was not present, he could still imagine the scene.

He's getting anxious, he's really getting anxious.

"You were right not to agree. Establishing the Heavenly Court sounds glorious, but it is definitely not a good job."

Ling Xiao said with a smile. Fortunately, he had given them instructions beforehand; otherwise, Di Jun and Tai Yi would likely have agreed.

Otherwise, they would have gone out to listen to a sermon and come back having brought the Heavenly Court with them, only to show it off to him—who could handle that?

"Third Brother, you were absolutely right. What is so good about establishing a Heavenly Court? Running around and exhausting oneself for no reward—how could it compare to the comfort of cultivating at home?"

"But thanks to your prior instructions, otherwise I might have really accepted it in a moment of excitement!"

Di Jun laughed heartily; after all, it is easy to be impulsive when one's head is hot.

"The most interesting part is that when Hongjun saw we were unwilling to establish the Heavenly Court, he simply stopped pushing it. He turned around and created the positions of the heads of male and female immortals, also to maintain order in the Primordial World."

Tai Yi also said with a smile, not quite understanding why the Sage would resort to such maneuvers.

Did he really want them to establish the Heavenly Court that badly?

Ling Xiao nodded; this was within his expectations. He smiled and asked, "Did they ask you to be the head of the male immortals as well?"

Di Jun waved his hand and said, "That did not happen. The Sage wanted Red Cloud to be the head of the male immortals, but who knew that Fellow Daoist Red Cloud would also refuse."

"Red Cloud?" Ling Xiao's expression changed. He had not expected this; Hongjun was actually so deranged that he even wanted Red Cloud to be the head of the male immortals.

Could he not pick someone else to trap?

He still needed to give him the Primordial Violet Qi later!

It was highly likely that Hongjun felt Di Jun and Tai Yi would not accept, so he intended to start with Red Cloud to drag them into the fray.

But he hadn't expected Red Cloud to suddenly see the light and learn how to refuse.

"Fellow Daoist Red Cloud likely felt it wasn't a good task either, so he didn't accept it, and then Duke of the East stepped forward to volunteer, so the Saint gave him the position."

"That makes sense..." Ling Xiao nodded. If there were a list of those courting death in the Primordial World, Duke of the East would definitely be near the top.

"After the sermon ended, the Saint said there would be a third sermon to impart the complete path to Sainthood and to take in a group of disciples," Tai Yi added.

"Do you want to become disciples of the Saint?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Di Jun and Tai Yi waved their hands in unison, saying indifferently, "Being a Saint's disciple is nothing special; we want to attain Sainthood on our own."

They were very firm, especially after having experienced Hongjun's level of expertise.

He claimed that cultivating laws could not lead to the Dao.

Little did he know that their third brother had already reached the realm of Golden Immortal of the Origin.

"If you can think this way, that is for the best," Ling Xiao nodded. It seemed that Di Jun and Tai Yi had not returned empty-handed from listening to the sermon; at the very least, their conviction to attain Sainthood had been strengthened.

"Once I cultivate to the Golden Immortal of the Origin, I will definitely wring the heads off Jieyin and Zhun Ti," Di Jun said with a cold expression, his aura filled with killing intent.

He grew angry just thinking about what happened not long ago.

"By the way, Third Brother, why did the Ziwei Star God become your attendant?"

The Ziwei Star was the most powerful and noble star god after the Sun and Moon, and they had no idea how he had been subdued by their third brother.

Both Di Jun and Tai Yi revealed expressions of curiosity.

"It happened like this..." Ling Xiao gave a rough, understated account of the events.

After hearing it, Di Jun and Tai Yi were filled with shock.

"The Stellar Tree!?"
