Time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, six to seven hundred Epochs quietly passed.
This day, on Yingzhou Immortal Island, at the Three Lights Divine Water Pool!
Yuan Yan, seated atop the Creation Green Lotus, had been wandering beyond the heavens, focusing on comprehending the Great Dao and refining his own Dao. Suddenly, he felt something and withdrew from his state of enlightenment, opening his eyes.
"Hmm? Why did I suddenly sense something?" Yuan Yan wondered inwardly as he quietly calculated with his fingers.
In but an instant, Yuan Yan deduced the answer and understood what he had sensed. Yet this only deepened his surprise. "Ancestral Witch Houtu and Great Witch Jiufeng? Why have they suddenly come to visit—and to visit me, no less?"
He had rarely interacted with the Witch Clan.

Based on the anomalies surrounding the Witch Clan and Jiufeng, he had concluded that Jiufeng was also a transmigrator.
