Guiding the Twelve Ancestral Witches

The Chaos Pearl was a Chaos supreme treasure!

After the Creation of Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Dao did not permit Chaos supreme treasures to exist in the Primordial World.

That was also why the Chaos Pearl had vanished after Pangu created heaven and earth.

Therefore, Chu Yi used the power of laws to seal part of the Chaos Pearl's power.

Well, Chu Yi had not yet completely refined the Chaos Pearl, so he could not make it fully conceal its aura.

"Cha... Chaos Pearl! It really is the Chaos Pearl!"

"Legend says Father God possessed three supreme treasures: the Fortune Jade Disc, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, and the Chaos Pearl... I never thought we would actually see the legendary Chaos Pearl!"

"Then this senior... really is our... uncle! But we have never heard that we had an uncle!"

At that moment, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were utterly transfixed by the sight of the Chaos Pearl.

The power of chaotic space upon the Chaos Pearl was incomparably profound.

Even Di Jiang, who had been born with supreme spatial divine abilities, could not compare to it and was instantly awed by the power of chaotic space.

"Di Jiang pays respects to Uncle!"

Di Jiang heavily kowtowed three times to Chu Yi!

"We pay respects to Uncle!"

The other Ancestral Witches also knelt and saluted.

"Mm, rise." Chu Yi put away the Chaos Pearl.

"Uncle, may I ask why you have revealed yourself this time?" Ju Mang asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Zhu Rong said. "We are Father God's true lineage. The lands of the Primordial World should naturally be under our control!

"Uncle has appeared because he surely intends to lead us in unifying the lands of the Primordial World!

"When the time comes, Uncle can hold supreme authority, while we help you handle the trivial matters."

Chu Yi walked up to Zhu Rong and gave him a sharp knock on the head. "All you know is fighting and killing, dreaming of unifying the Primordial World.

"Let me ask you this: after you unify the Primordial World, then what? What will you do?"

The Witch Clan was naturally warlike and easily impulsive. This was a very bad trait.

In the future Witch-Demon War, the Witch Clan would nearly be exterminated because of this very disposition.

Well, even if they unified the Primordial World, so what?

What came after that?

Would they not still be trapped inside the Primordial Prison?

Only by surpassing the Heavenly Dao would they have a chance to break free from this prison.

Chu Yi's goal was to cultivate several more Chaos Limit Grand Luo Golden Immortals for the Primordial World!

Only then could the Primordial World reach a higher dimension.

Of course, this goal was difficult...

Forget Chaos Limit Grand Luo Golden Immortals—even reaching the level of a Chaos Grand Luo Golden Immortal was extremely difficult.

Zhu Rong clutched his head, grimacing in pain. "Once we unify the Primordial World, what else is there to do? Under heaven and across the earth, my Witch Clan will be the greatest! All living beings will obey the Witch Clan. Whoever refuses will be killed with one punch! Once you grow tired of being lord of the Primordial World, Uncle, you can pass the position on to us."

However, the other Ancestral Witches took Chu Yi's words to heart.

"Shut up." Di Jiang, the eldest, rebuked Zhu Rong.

Zhu Rong looked unconvinced, but Di Jiang was still his eldest brother, so he did not dare talk back.

"Uncle, Di Jiang is ignorant and has never considered the questions you raised. I ask Uncle to enlighten me."

Di Jiang could not figure it out, so he could only seek his uncle's guidance.

"Mm, you can still be taught." Chu Yi nodded in satisfaction and said, "My elder brother and I were born with supreme divine power. Especially your Father God... he was invincible from the moment he was born. Let alone ruling the Primordial World...

"At that time, even if he had wished to rule Chaos, it would have taken only a single word from him.

"Then why did your Father God still fall?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Pangu Hall fell into brief silence.

Then Hou Tu stepped forward and answered, "Uncle, was it because Father God found Chaos oppressive, so he split open heaven and earth?"

Chu Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Then did Father God wish to create heaven and earth and nurture new life?" Gong Gong continued.

Chu Yi shook his head again.

"Uncle, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us already. You've made my heart itch with curiosity." Zhu Rong scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

"In truth, once one reaches the level of my elder brother and me, what confines us is this prison of Chaos!" Chu Yi said. "Within Chaos, immeasurable kalpas repeat in endless cycles.

"My elder brother died because he was driven by an invisible force!

"His mission was the Creation of Heaven and Earth! This was the prison imposed upon him from the moment of his birth.

"In truth, my elder brother could have broken free of this prison, but he was kindhearted and accepted his fate."

Many of the Ancestral Witches did not understand these words.

Even Di Jiang, the eldest, understood only half of it.

"It is normal that you do not understand now. Once your strength improves, you will naturally understand." Chu Yi did not insist that they understand.

"Simply put, no matter what you do—whether you unify the Primordial World or live in seclusion in the Chaos beyond heaven—you are now trapped within an enormous prison.

"This prison has not yet reached the level of Chaos, so for now, I shall call it the Primordial Prison.

"What you must do is break this prison and become truly powerful.

"Only by breaking this prison can you attain true freedom!"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches felt that their uncle's words were profound and unfathomable, difficult to comprehend.

Yet they also found their spirits stirred by them!

At the very least, they all remembered those final words.

Only by breaking the Primordial Prison could they become truly powerful.

"We will bear Uncle's words in mind." Di Jiang respectfully cupped his hands. "Uncle, I have a plan. Since Uncle does not want us to compete for supremacy, we shall cultivate slowly within Pangu Hall.

"While improving our own strength, we will also build a powerful race."

Chu Yi nodded. "This is a good plan, but there is one thing you must strive to obtain."

Di Jiang asked, "What is it?"

Chu Yi replied, "Xuanhuang Merit. Whenever you have a chance to obtain merit, do everything possible to earn it.

"Your primordial spirits are incomplete, so you can only take the path of sanctifying the fleshly body. But sanctifying the fleshly body also requires immense merit."

This immediately enlightened Di Jiang.

"I understand. We slay ferocious beasts to bring stability to the Primordial World and protect the weaker living beings, not to compete for supremacy and become rulers of the Primordial World.

"If the former is our goal, merit will naturally descend upon us. If the latter is our goal, the Dao will be unclear and our Dao hearts impure, only breeding more baleful energy.

"Thank you for your teachings, Uncle. Di Jiang understands now! When one's perspective changes, one's state of mind changes as well."

After Di Jiang finished speaking, he felt completely at ease.

The blood-tinged baleful energy naturally carried by the Ancestral Witches also diminished greatly at that moment.

Boom!

A layer of restriction within Di Jiang's body shattered.

His cultivation reached the late Quasi-Saint stage.

Well, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were not like the Three Pure Ones.

Di Jiang, who had been born earliest, was only at the middle Quasi-Saint stage.

Most of the other Ancestral Witches were only at the early Quasi-Saint stage.

"Haha, good, very good."

Chu Yi was in high spirits at the sight.

With gradual guidance, the Witch Clan would have no worries in time.

"Listen carefully. There are the Three Pure Ones on Kunlun Mountain, named Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing. They are also my nephews, and they are seeking allies to wage war against the ferocious beasts. You may go form an alliance with them. Once the ferocious beasts are all slain, merit will naturally descend."

This was Chu Yi's purpose.

With the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches forming an alliance, their strength could not be underestimated.
