Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror!

Shimmering light flowed deep within the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

Hongjun's body trembled, and he immediately said:

"An abnormal movement in the Earthly Dao?"

"How is that possible?!"

"Now is not the time for the Earthly Dao to emerge!"

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao shifted slightly.

"Pangu's backup plan?"

Hongjun recalled the wretched state he had been in during the Heaven-Opening Calamity, and his expression immediately darkened. He took a deep breath and said:

"Rest assured! I will merge with the Dao as soon as possible!"

"Once I merge with the Dao and perfect the power of the Heavenly Dao, even if Pangu has left behind contingencies, we will have nothing to fear!"

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao slowly vanished.

The terrifying pressure emanating from Jade Capital Mountain began to dissipate.

Seeing the Eye of the Heavenly Dao disappear,

Hongjun's expression flickered uncertainly. He snorted coldly and slowly said:

"Pangu!"

"Heavenly Dao!"

He murmured those few words before resuming his cultivation.

The Creation Jade Disc emitted boundless Dao rhythms.

In an instant,

Jade Capital Mountain was once more filled with endless Dao rhythms and laws.

The moment Di Jiang activated the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror,

it was not only Hongjun on Jade Capital Mountain. The other Innate Divine Saints sensed something as well.

Mount Kunlun.

Three streams of clear light flickered.

Suddenly, the clear light took form and became three figures.

One young, one middle-aged, and one elderly.

They were the Three Pure Ones!

Tong Tian sat cross-legged, his aura as sharp as a sword, and slowly said:

"Eldest Brother! Second Brother!"

"What was that just now? Why did I sense such a strange fluctuation?"

Yuan Shi, who appeared middle-aged, nodded and agreed:

"That's right! Eldest Brother, I sensed it as well!"

"At first, I thought I had sensed it wrongly."

Tai Shang, appearing as an old man, wore a calm expression as he slowly said:

"There is no need to dwell on it!"

"We have only just taken form and must further consolidate our cultivation."

"Cultivate!"

Eldest Brother truly was Eldest Brother. He was actually so composed.

Seeing Tai Shang's demeanor, Yuan Shi and Tong Tian admired him deeply.

But how could they know that Tai Shang had sensed it as well, and even more clearly than they had? Yet even after secretly calculating, he still could not find the source.

To preserve his dignity as the eldest brother, he naturally could not lose face before his two younger brothers. Still, he was inwardly wondering what exactly was going on.

Mount Sumeru.

Jie Yin's entire body shone with golden light, Geng Metal energy circulating around him as he cultivated with his eyes closed.

Opposite him, the Ancient Bodhi Tree behind Zhun Ti swayed constantly, gleaming brilliantly.

Suddenly, they sensed something and abruptly opened their eyes.

Jie Yin's expression was somewhat uncertain as he slowly said:

"Junior Brother, just now..."

A troubled expression appeared on Zhun Ti's face as he said:

"Senior Brother! You sensed it too?"

Jie Yin said, "What kind of power was that? Why did it make my heart palpitate?"

Zhun Ti shook his head and said:

"This junior brother does not know! Judging by the direction, it came from the Eastern Continent."

"Alas, the earth veins of our Western Continent are in disarray, and its spiritual energy is exhausted. Who knows when it will recover?"

Jie Yin comforted him, "Junior Brother, do not worry. Things will work themselves out when the time comes!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhun Ti replied:

"Senior Brother! We were able to sense that mysterious power!"

"Presumably, some spiritual treasure has been born on the Eastern Continent."

"How about we find an opportunity to head to the Eastern Continent and see if we can pick up some benefits?"

Jie Yin smiled and nodded. "Junior Brother speaks wisely!"

Kunlun Mound.

Two figures with human bodies and serpent tails were cultivating.

Suddenly, as though they had sensed something, they transformed into human form.

They were Nuwa and Fuxi.

Nuwa furrowed her brows slightly. "Brother, what was that?"

A thought stirred in Fuxi's mind, and the Primordial Eight-Trigrams Compass above his head began spinning continuously. As it slowly rotated, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Nuwa's expression changed drastically. "Brother!"

Fuxi waved his hand. "I'm fine!"

Nuwa hurriedly asked, "Brother, what exactly happened?"

Fuxi's face was pale as he slowly said:

"I do not know! This power is beyond my ability to calculate."

"Fortunately, it was only a fleeting glimpse. Had I forcibly calculated the result, I fear I would have perished here."

Nuwa was greatly shocked.

Netherworld Blood Sea.

Blood Sea Ancestor sat cross-legged above the blood sea.

He continuously absorbed the baleful and bloody energies within it.

At once, the Netherworld Blood Sea, stretching for hundreds of millions of li, raised blood waves tens of thousands of zhang high.

Netherworld Ancestor abruptly opened his blood-red eyes and looked toward Mount Kunlun. His face showed uncertainty as he said:

"This is?"

Far Northern Lands.

Northern Darkness Palace.

A great peng spread its wings and soared through the sky, then plunged into the water and transformed into a kun. Suddenly sensing something, the kun raised its head and looked toward the Primordial World.

It was Kunpeng!

Kunpeng transformed into a man with a somewhat sinister expression.

Looking toward Mount Kunlun, uncertainty appeared on his face:

"This sensation! Is it... an opportunity?"

"It seems this ancestor must make a trip to the Primordial World and seek out this opportunity!"

Sun Star.

Dijun and Taiyi sat facing one another.

They sensed something and exchanged glances, each seeing uncertainty in the other's eyes.

Throughout the Primordial World, many divine beings felt something in their hearts.

After all, the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror was the manifestation of the Earthly Dao.

Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao.

They were the three Daos of the Primordial World.

Among them, the Earthly Dao was one of the three Daos of the Primordial World.

Every disturbance in the Earthly Dao would naturally draw the attention of the many divine beings of the Primordial World.

And at this moment,

Di Jiang, within Pangu Hall,

did not know that his use of the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror

had drawn the attention of numerous Innate Divine Saints.

At this moment,

the other eleven Ancestral Witches in the hall also sensed something.

They began discussing it one after another.

Di Jiang was cultivating. With the power of the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror, his Primordial Spirit cultivation had reached the Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, while his physical cultivation had reached the Mid-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

He opened his eyes, excitement on his face, and said:

"Good, good, good!"

"If I have no problem, then Zhurong and the other Ancestral Witches can do the same."

"The Witch Clan will embark upon a different path!"

Di Jiang pondered this.

At that moment, a voice came from one of the blood spheres within the blood pool. It was Zhu Jiuyin's voice.

"Big Brother, I sensed a mysterious aura just now. What exactly was that?"

The other Ancestral Witches hurriedly chimed in as well.

"Yeah, yeah! Big Brother, what happened?"

"Could it be that Big Brother comprehended some great divine ability?"

"Big Brother! Could Father God have left some treasure for you?"

"..."

The Ancestral Witches all spoke at once.

Di Jiang smiled mysteriously and said:

"Wait until you are born! Big Brother will give you a surprise!"

The other eleven Ancestral Witches booed in unison, then suppressed their curiosity and began refining the energy within the blood pool. They all desperately wanted to take form.

They wanted to quickly learn what it was that Di Jiang had spoken of!

Seeing this, Di Jiang smiled and resumed cultivating.

This was indeed difficult to explain. It would be better to wait until they had all been born.

Only then could he personally let them experience it.

The Primordial World did not keep track of years. In the blink of an eye, three thousand years passed.

Within Pangu Hall,

Di Jiang looked at the scene before him and nodded with a smile.

The eleven blood spheres above the blood pool emitted terrifying pressure.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another.

The blood spheres suddenly exploded.

Eleven terrifying figures appeared above the blood pool.

The power of time spread forth, vast azure light appeared, the powers of water and fire collided, the temperature plummeted, ten thousand thunder dragons roared...

Phenomena emerged one after another, dazzling and magnificent.

They were precisely the phenomena that accompanied the birth of the other eleven Ancestral Witches besides Di Jiang.

The eleven Ancestral Witches transformed into human form, each different from the others.

Their cultivations were all at the Early-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

They landed within Pangu Hall and, facing Di Jiang not far away, said in unison:

"We greet Elder Brother!"

Di Jiang smiled and nodded. "Younger brothers and sisters, please rise!"

Zhurong, whose entire body was crimson red, including his hair and beard, said bluntly:

"Big Brother!"

"When you said you'd tell us what that power you sensed was once we were born, you can tell us now, right?"

Di Jiang shook his head with a smile. Zhurong really is impatient. He stopped keeping them in suspense and slowly said,

"Have you sensed that the Primordial Spirits within your seas of consciousness are being worn away by baleful energy?"

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witches immediately examined themselves, then nodded at Di Jiang.

Only Hou Tu was affected by relatively little baleful energy, allowing her to retain a weak Primordial Spirit cultivation.

Zhurong said bluntly,

"Big Brother!"

"What we Ancestral Witches seek is mastery over the power of laws. As long as we cultivate our bodies, we can grasp the laws. If we do not need Primordial Spirits, then so be it!"

"Primordial Spirits are useless to us anyway!"
