• Pan Xuan told the assembled Ancestral Witches he did not oppose creating clansmen but believed the time was wrong, warning that rushing ahead could destroy the entire Witch Clan.

Pan Xuan warned the Ancestral Witches that openly expanding the Witch Clan would draw the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans into a fight that could destroy them. He convinced them to secretly build their strength and wait for the three clans to weaken before making their move, establishing himself as the Witch Clan's strategist.

• Pan Xuan explained that the Witch Clan's small numbers and Pangu Hall's concealment had kept them safe, but a sudden expansion could make the three rival clans see them as a threat.

• Pan Xuan reassured Houtu that the Righteous Vitality Formula protected him from the baleful qi.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches and an unknown young man secretly collected ordinary corpses from battlefields after the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans withdrew, absorbing the baleful energy there. The three clan leaders learned of their activities and let them continue, leaving the thirteen figures free to gather corpses as the war neared a turning point.

Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches traveled across the Primordial World, witnessing the devastation of the clans’ war while strengthening their cultivation. In the desolate western lands, they discovered ancient, savage baleful aura that led Pan Xuan to suspect they had reached the source of the Ferocious Beast Calamity.

• Pan Xuan reflected on the ruin caused by the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans and resolved that the Witch Clan must not follow their path to supremacy.

• Xuan Ming and Zhu Jiuyin recognized the baleful aura as ancient and savage, and Pan Xuan suspected they had reached the source of the Ferocious Beast Calamity.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches failed to break an ancient innate restriction with their combined powers, so Pan Xuan used the Righteous Vitality Formula and the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to shatter it. A vast eruption of Killing Intent poured from the breach, and Di Jiang led the group deeper while the Ancestral Witches protected Houtu and Pan Xuan.

• Di Jiang discovered an ancient innate restriction sealing a vast area, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches attacked it with their powers but could not break it.
• Di Jiang asked Pan Xuan to try, and Pan Xuan used the Righteous Vitality Formula and the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to wear down the barrier.
• Pan Xuan's sustained assault cracked and shattered the restriction.
• A tremendous mass of ancient, violent Killing Intent erupted from the breach, and Di Jiang warned the group not to absorb it rashly.
• Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches surrounded Houtu and Pan Xuan for protection, then led the group deeper into the sealed area.

Pan Xuan led the Ancestral Witches into an abyss filled with the ancient Killing Intent of the Ferocious Beast race. After absorbing it, all eleven Ancestral Witches broke through the limits of a Daluo Golden Immortal, and a mysterious light then appeared beneath the earth.

• The group descended into the abyss, where Pan Xuan recognized visions of the Ferocious Beast Calamity and the Ancestral Witches absorbed the dense Killing Intent.
• Pan Xuan told Houtu that the Killing Intent might help her brothers break through the limits of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
• The eleven Ancestral Witches absorbed all the Killing Intent and broke through to a realm beyond Daluo Golden Immortal.
• Di Jiang and the others thanked Pan Xuan, while Houtu congratulated her brothers on their breakthrough.
• A strange light appeared in the deepest corner of the abyss, and something began rising from beneath the earth.

Pan Xuan recognized the black stele in the abyss as Shen Ni’s Destruction Stele and warned the Ancestral Witches to handle it carefully. After Di Jiang took the treasure, the group fled the collapsing abyss, and Pan Xuan told Houtu that the stele might be connected to the ancient Ferocious Beast Calamity.

• The Eleven Ancestral Witches discovered a black stele whose destructive aura shook the abyss.
• Pan Xuan recognized the stele as Shen Ni’s Destruction Stele and stopped Zhu Rong from approaching it.

• The thirteen Witches fled as the abyss collapsed behind them.
• Houtu asked Pan Xuan about the stele, and he said he suspected it was connected to the ancient Ferocious Beast Calamity.

Pan Xuan and the Ancestral Witches returned to Pangu Hall with the Destruction Stele after breaking the seal in the western lands. They resolved to stay cautious, while Ancestral Dragon sensed that the seal had been broken and recalled why it had been made.

• Pan Xuan urged the Ancestral Witches to hurry back to Pangu Hall, fearing the one who sealed the Destruction Stele might sense its discovery.
• Di Jiang brought the Destruction Stele into Pangu Hall, where its aura clashed with the hall’s ancient power.
• Pan Xuan told the Ancestral Witches that the restriction had combined powers from several clans and might have been arranged by ancient experts after the Ferocious Beast Calamity.
• Di Jiang ordered the Ancestral Witches to cultivate inside Pangu Hall and investigate the stele while avoiding unnecessary trips outside.
• Ancestral Dragon sensed that the western seal had broken and remembered that it had been created to contain the Killing Intent left by the defeated Ferocious Beast Clan.

Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Qilin accepted the seal’s destruction because its dangerous Killing Intent had been purified. Luo Hou discovered that someone had taken the resource he had planned to use, but he could not identify them and resolved to pursue his plans through the ongoing clan war.

• Ancestral Dragon sensed the seal break and dismissed it after realizing the Killing Intent had been purified.
• Primordial Phoenix and Primordial Qilin likewise welcomed the seal’s destruction as the removal of a lingering danger.
• Luo Hou learned the seal had broken and raged because he had planned to use its Killing Intent to temper the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying and intensify the clans’ war.
• Luo Hou failed to deduce who broke the seal and sensed Pangu’s aura obscuring the culprit’s identity.
• Luo Hou vowed to settle the matter with the unknown person and decided to rely on the continuing Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin conflict for more Killing Intent.

The great powers of the Primordial World reacted to the broken seal and purified Killing Intent, while Luo Hou began plotting anew. In Pangu Hall, Pan Xuan and the ancestral witches studied the Destruction Stele and learned that their breakthrough realm was the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.

• Ancestor Yin-Yang, Yang Mei, the Heaven-Earth Ancestor, and Hong Jun sensed the seal break but did not pursue the identity of the person responsible.
• The Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Qilin felt relieved or settled, while Luo Hou burned with resentment over losing his plan and began plotting again.
• Pan Xuan returned to Pangu Hall with the others, unaware that his actions had drawn the attention of the Primordial World's great powers.
• The ancestral witches decided that Houtu should wait until her Primordial Spirit stabilized before attempting to refine the Destruction Stele.
• Di Jiang consulted his inherited memories and explained that the eleven ancestral witches had reached the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm, where they fused their laws with themselves and achieved the union of body and Dao.

After the Ancestral Witches reached the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm, Pan Xuan proposed climbing Mount Buzhou to pass the time and honor Pangu. As the thirteen ascended, Pangu’s pressure revealed new insights into their powers and strengthened Pan Xuan’s Righteous Vitality Formula.

• The Ancestral Witches discussed their breakthrough and decided to stop collecting corpses to avoid attracting attention.
• Pan Xuan proposed that the thirteen climb Mount Buzhou, and the Ancestral Witches agreed.
