Avatar-Slaying!

That was right!

Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal!

Not a Sage!

A Sage was a Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal.

But a Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal was not necessarily a Sage.

A Sage was a fruition.

A Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal was a cultivation realm.

Within the Primordial World, Sages could wield strength far beyond that of Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortals.

Yet in Chaos, a Sage's power would be greatly diminished, and the strength they could display was far inferior to that of a Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal.

Did that mean that Sages were inferior to Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortals?

That was not the case either!

Back then, Yang Mei, the Space Demon God, had been driven out of the Primordial World by Hongjun with the Heavenly Dao's help.

Moreover!

A Sage's Primordial Spirit was entrusted to the world's origin.

They were immortal and indestructible!

They existed alongside the world.

Yet Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortals could still perish in Chaos.

All in all, each had its advantages and disadvantages.

Di Jiang pondered this.

Just then.

The Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror in his sea of consciousness radiated brilliant light.

It fused the Nine-Turn Profound Technique and Nine-Turn Origin Technique from his memories.

Forming a new cultivation technique.

No!

It would be more accurate to say that it had restored them to their original form!

This was an innate ability of the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror—restoring things to their original appearance.

Come to think of it!

Did not the Six Paths of Reincarnation restore one to their original form before allowing reincarnation?

And the Six Paths of Reincarnation had originally been an ability of the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror.

This technique was called—

Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique!

A supreme technique that cultivated both the physical body and the Primordial Spirit.

It was a simplified version of the cultivation technique Pangu had once practiced.

Even so, it still offered hope of breaking through to the Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm.

"Hahaha!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Di Jiang laughed heartily and cried out "good" several times in succession.

Then.

He continued pondering, muttering to himself:

"Hope of breaking through to the Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm!"

"But if I only walk this one path, that would be somewhat regrettable."

According to Di Jiang's original plan.

He would merge himself with the Earthly Dao, control it, confer six Netherworld Sages, and perfect the Earthly Dao.

But now that he had the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique, he had hope of breaking through to the Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm.

Since that was the case, why could he not walk several paths at once?

Besides!

He could control the Earthly Dao and understood the overall situation.

If he did not take this opportunity to make some plans, would that not be letting himself down?

Di Jiang pondered slowly, then came up with a new idea.

The Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror possessed the Avatar-Slaying Method!

And this avatar method was not an ordinary technique.

The avatars it severed were completely independent individuals, capable of attaining the Dao independently.

Yet they still obeyed the original body!

He could use this Avatar-Slaying Method.

To sever three avatars.

The first avatar would scheme for the position of Heavenly Dao Sage.

The second avatar would scheme for the position of Human Dao Sage.

The third avatar would walk the path of the Primordial Great Dao.

As for Di Jiang himself, he would naturally control the Earthly Dao.

"When the time comes, if my original body merges with my avatars as the master of the Earthly Dao, combining the power of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, could I attain the Great Dao Realm?"

An unprecedented ambition flashed through Di Jiang's eyes.

What was becoming a Sage worth?

Even the Earthly Dao Realm would only make one a great power within the Primordial World.

If he was going to do it, he had to emulate Father God Pangu and seek the Great Dao!

Being merely a Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal was indeed free!

But Di Jiang himself had hope of attaining the Great Dao Realm.

Why, then, should he abandon what was near and seek what was far?

One had to know that even after breaking through to the Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm, attaining the Great Dao Realm would still be extraordinarily difficult!

Besides, it was not as though he could no longer attain the Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm!

Most importantly!

This Primordial World should have been Father God Pangu's inheritance for the Ancestral Witches!

It had merely been stolen by the Heavenly Dao, that steward, and Hongjun, that old loach!

With that thought, a sharp glint flashed through Di Jiang's eyes. He then summoned the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror.

The treasured mirror flew out and hovered before his brow.

With a thought, the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror released immeasurable rays of light and slashed directly at Di Jiang.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Soundless thunder roared.

Three shadows flew out from Di Jiang's body.

Two of those shadows swiftly took form.

They were Di Jiang's first and second avatars.

The two avatars resembled Di Jiang and smiled at him.

"Greetings, Original Body!"

Di Jiang smiled. "What are your names?"

The first avatar smiled. "My name is Di Hai!"

The second avatar smiled. "Your name is Di Hai! Then mine will be Di Liu!"

Di Jiang! Di Hai! Di Liu!

River, sea, stream?

Good, good, good!

Why were his avatars so flamboyant?

After grumbling inwardly for a moment, Di Jiang smiled helplessly and said:

"How is your cultivation?"

The first avatar, Di Hai, said with a smile:

"We are avatars severed by the Original Body. Our cultivation is currently at the Early Stage Golden Immortal realm!"

Di Liu nodded in agreement beside him.

Although the treasured mirror's power was profound.

Strength still had to be cultivated step by step.

But for the two avatars to retain Early Stage Golden Immortal cultivation.

Was already quite good!

Di Hai pointed at the shadow beside them and said with a smile:

"Original Body, will the third avatar not take form?"

Di Jiang smiled. "The time has not yet come!"

A thoughtful look appeared in Di Liu's eyes as he asked:

"Original Body, could it be that this third avatar is intended to...?"

Di Jiang nodded.

Di Hai also came to his senses and nodded as though he understood.

Di Liu smiled. "You should cultivate within Pangu Hall!"

Di Hai and Di Liu smiled and nodded, then each departed.

As for the third shadow, Di Jiang put it away.

After severing three avatars.

Di Jiang's cultivation fluctuated somewhat.

He decided to cultivate first and consolidate it.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye.

A thousand years went by.

Di Jiang awoke from cultivation. Extending his senses, he discovered that Zhu Jiuyin and the others had all awakened and were discussing matters in the hall.

With a thought, he arrived in the hall.

When the other Ancestral Witches saw Di Jiang, they all called out, "Big Brother!"

Di Jiang looked at them and nodded in satisfaction.

The cultivation of all the Ancestral Witches had broken through to the Mid-Stage Golden Immortal realm.

Even their Primordial Spirit cultivation had broken through to the Early Stage Golden Immortal realm.

"Not bad!"

"Your cultivation has all progressed quickly!"

Di Jiang said with a smile.

All the Ancestral Witches smiled.

Then, Di Jiang asked:

"I just saw that you were engaged in a heated discussion."

"What happened?"

Zhu Jiuyin answered:

"Big Brother!"

"Recently, when we went out, we discovered that Dijun and Taiyi had united the demon clans of the Primordial World and were preparing to proclaim themselves Demon Emperor and Eastern Emperor. Should we establish a race as well?"

"We discovered that we can use our own essence blood to nurture the Witch Clan from the Blood Pool."

Zhurong slapped his forehead and nodded.

"That's right! Big Brother!"

"Should we also use essence blood to nurture the Demon Clan?"

All the Ancestral Witches looked toward Di Jiang, waiting for his response.

Upon hearing them, Di Jiang slowly shook his head.

"We will not establish the Witch Clan!"

"Or rather, now is not the right time to establish the Witch Clan."

If they established the Witch Clan now.

The Witch-Demon Calamity would inevitably arise.

He had to cut it off at its source.

Zhurong said loudly:

"Big Brother? Why?"

"Dijun and Taiyi keep provoking us."

"I've long found them unpleasant to look at."

All the Ancestral Witches nodded in agreement.

Di Jiang said:

"You know of the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, and Qilin Race, right?"

"At their peak, their clansmen spread across the entire Primordial World."

"But what about now?"

"Weren't they either killed or sealed away?"

Di Jiang spoke slowly.

"No! Big Brother!"

"What you said earlier was that now wasn't the right time."

Zhu Jiuyin asked in confusion:

"If we don't establish the Witch Clan now, then when will we?"

Di Jiang smiled.

"When?"

"Naturally, when your eldest brother becomes a Saint!"
