Educating Zhu Rong and Gong Gong
"The Three Pure Ones are also nephews of our uncle?" Di Jiang frowned. "Doesn't that make them our brothers, too?"
"Well, based on your origins and foundations, you can indeed call each other brothers," Chu Yi answered with a smile. "The Three Pure Ones were formed from the primordial clear energy of Pangu's spirit, while you were formed from his essence blood."
"However, there is no need to be so formal; we can each maintain our own relationships."
Upon hearing this, the Twelve Ancestral Witches immediately wore expressions of shock and bewilderment.
Indeed, when put that way, the Three Pure Ones were certainly their brothers!
"Uncle, how can we treat this separately? If they are our brothers, then they are our brothers! Brothers must stand together through thick and thin."
Zhu Rong stepped forward, speaking with righteous indignation.
Afterward, his peripheral vision caught sight of Gong Gong.
He thought... that brat Gong Gong is the only one who doesn't get along with me.
"As for this matter, handle it however you see fit. It is not impossible to call them brothers."
Chu Yi then turned his gaze toward Zhu Rong and Gong Gong. "You two, come here."
Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were born as water and fire, inherently incompatible.
These two would eventually engage in a great battle that would cause the collapse of the Buzhou Mountain pillar, leaving them burdened with heavy karmic debt.
"Uncle, what is it?"
Zhu Rong grinned, and in front of his uncle, he didn't hesitate to shove Gong Gong aside with his hip.
"You dare to be so rude in front of Uncle? Zhu Rong, you are too insolent!" Gong Gong was clearly unconvinced.
"Gong Gong, you dare to shout in front of Uncle? You are the one being rude!" Zhu Rong retorted, shifting the blame.
The two went back and forth, neither willing to yield to the other.
If not for Chu Yi's presence, they likely would have started fighting right then and there.
"Enough," Chu Yi said. "You two are born as water and fire; you will bring about a great disaster in the future."
"The so-called Five Elements generate and overcome one another..."
"Ju Mang's innate divine ability governs wood, Hou Tu governs earth, Ru Shou governs metal. From now on, whenever you act or stand in formation, you must follow the positions of the Five Elements' generation!"
Chu Yi instructed them slowly:
"Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood... Ju Mang, Zhu Rong, Hou Tu, Ru Shou, Gong Gong... from now on, stand in the order of the names I just called!"
Yes, keeping two people between Zhu Rong and Gong Gong would ensure their attributes did not clash so violently.
Ju Mang and the others obeyed. Once they stood in that formation, the restlessness in the hearts of Zhu Rong and Gong Gong immediately subsided.
"I previously created a formation in the Heaven Beyond Heaven called the Primordial Five-Element Formation. It is suitable for the five of you, and you must practice it diligently."
Having fully grasped the Innate Law of Five Elements, creating such a formation was a natural progression for Chu Yi.
"Remember, in a Five-Element formation, the greatest taboo is to lose your footing! Follow the cycle and the elements generate; oppose it and they overcome!"
After speaking, Chu Yi condensed the information of the Primordial Five-Element Formation into a spiritual wave and projected it into their minds.
"Very well. There is one more thing! In your inherited memories, is there any mention of the Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation?!"
Chu Yi asked with a serious expression.
The Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation was a technique unleashed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, either collectively or through the refinement of the Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Banners, capable of manifesting the true form of Pangu or the Ancestral Witches!
It was the number one killing formation of the Primordial World!
This formation stood in opposition to the future Heavenly Stellar Constellation Formation.
It was also the foundation upon which the Ancestral Witches would stake their survival.
He just didn't know if the shadow of this formation existed within the Ancestral Witches' inherited memories.
If the formation wasn't born from the influence of Pangu's inherited memories, then it was something the Twelve Ancestral Witches had devised later on.
"Uncle, how do you know of this formation?" Di Jiang was shocked. "A few days ago, some things suddenly surfaced in my mind."
"It was essentially a formation that combined the power of us twelve brothers!"
"At the time, I named this formation the Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation!"
Hearing Di Jiang's words, Chu Yi was certain.
The number one killing formation of the Primordial World was indeed part of their inherited memories, but those memories had not yet fully awakened!
"Good, I understand," Chu Yi said with a smile. "Do not be anxious. Do not try to achieve everything in one step. Start by creating a smaller version of the formation, then move from simple to complex, perfecting it gradually."
Di Jiang suddenly felt enlightened. "Thank you for your guidance, Uncle."
"Once the Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation is partially mastered, you shall go to Kunlun Mountain to answer the call of the Three Pure Ones," Chu Yi said with a smile.
He then produced twelve talismans.
"These are talismans I crafted using the Law of Space. They contain my power and can serve as both a means of attack and a way to contact me."
Chu Yi left the twelve talismans with the Ancestral Witches and vanished from where he stood.
"My business here is finished, so I shall take my leave. If you encounter any difficulties, use the talismans to find me."
The Twelve Ancestral Witches looked at each other in dismay.
Our uncle truly is... like a divine dragon that shows its head but never its tail!
"We respectfully see our uncle off."
The Twelve Ancestral Witches bowed respectfully.
"Brothers, let us first contemplate the Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation. Once the formation reaches minor success, we shall go find the Three Pure Ones."
Di Jiang issued the order.
"Yes, eldest brother."
Time flew by, and tens of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.
It is said that when the heavens and earth first opened, the five elements operated without ceasing.
Beyond the Primordial World, there lay a vast expanse of sea!
Within this sea, an innate divine beast was born, known as the Ancestral Dragon.
The Ancestral Dragon propagated within the sea, and as his kin multiplied, the Dragon Race grew stronger by the day.
He led the Dragon Race to govern the seas, becoming the hegemon of the waters.
Meanwhile, two other powerful divine beasts were born in the sky and on the land.
They were...
Primordial Phoenix!
Primordial Qilin!
In the Primordial World at the dawn of time, several species with great intelligence and diverse forms were naturally conceived!
Some were called beasts, some were called feathered creatures, and others were called aquatic tribes!
In later ages, they would shake the Three Realms under the name of the Demon Race.
But for now, they were being ravaged by the fierce beasts. Lacking the strength to resist, they sought refuge under the banners of the Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Qilin respectively.
The Ancestral Dragon governed the aquatic tribes.
Primordial Phoenix governed the feathered creatures.
Primordial Qilin governed the beasts.
Thus, a long-standing confrontation began between the fierce beasts and the Divine Beast Alliance!
Western Kunlun.
After that fellow Hongjun had scoured the Primordial World for treasures, he also tracked down some of his old friends.
Those old fellows were Daoist Yang Mei, Cosmic Patriarch, and Yin-Yang Ancestor.
Once gathered together, the old fellows began to scheme against the fierce beasts.
Because the fierce beasts were ravaging the Primordial World, one could obtain Xuanhuang Merit by slaying them.
Hongjun had obtained a fragment of the Fortune Jade Disc and realized that to further elevate his cultivation realm, he needed to acquire Xuanhuang Merit.
Knowing he could not swallow the prize alone, Hongjun cajoled the other three old fellows into joining him.
Kunlun Mountain.
Today, the Three Pure Ones emerged from seclusion one after another.
"We have already mastered the basics of the Profound Origin Art. It is time to sound the horn for clearing out the fierce beasts."
Taiqing spoke up.
"We are willing to follow your orders, eldest brother."
Yuqing and Shangqing replied.
"We, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, have come to pay a visit. We invite the Three Pure Ones to come out and meet us."
Just then, the voice of Di Jiang echoed from the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
