Taking a Disciple!

The spiritual treasure wailed continuously as it fell straight into the boundless sea of blood.

The sea of blood within a radius of ten million zhang was evaporated into a bloody mist.

Ming He plummeted toward the boundless sea of blood.

Di Jiang had not dealt a killing blow.

After knocking Ming He down, he merely stood with his hands behind his back and waited quietly.

Hou Tu watched silently from the side.

She was filled with curiosity over the method Di Jiang had used.

Could that be the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror her eldest brother had told her about?

Di Jiang had never concealed the existence of the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror from the Ancestral Witches.

Especially later on.

He had told the other Ancestral Witches that the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror had been left behind by Father God Pangu.

Thus, the witches knew of Di Jiang's plans.

With a splash, Ming He flew out of the boundless sea of blood and returned before Di Jiang.

His gaze toward Di Jiang was filled with fear, confusion, and bewilderment.

Ming He truly could not figure it out.

What sort of power had Di Jiang mastered?

In that instant, it had felt as though he had seen the Heavenly Dao itself.

He had been utterly unable to muster any thought of resistance.

Could Di Jiang have mastered the power of the Heavenly Dao?

Or had Di Jiang already become a Sage?

Seeing Ming He's uncertain expression, Di Jiang said calmly:

"Have you made your decision?"

Ming He asked hesitantly:

"You... what power have you actually mastered?"

Di Jiang said nothing and merely looked at him quietly.

Ming He's expression changed several times. Then he dropped to one knee before Di Jiang and said respectfully:

"Ming He pays respects to Master!"

A faint smile appeared on Di Jiang's face before he laughed heartily.

"Good, good, good! Rise!"

"Rest assured! Your master will not treat you poorly."

Every word and action of an Innate Divine Saint carried profound significance; one could not acknowledge a master lightly.

Once one took a master, the karmic bond between master and disciple was no laughing matter.

After answering in the affirmative, Ming He rose and asked Di Jiang:

"Master! What is this great opportunity you spoke of?"

To Ming He, if he could grasp the power Di Jiang had just displayed, it would be more than worth it. He was exceptionally eager to break through in cultivation.

Hou Tu was shocked within. She had not expected her eldest brother to truly succeed.

Di Jiang said with a smile:

"Ming He, put your mind at ease!"

"This opportunity will appear before long."

He himself was not far from breaking through to become a Sage.

Judging by the passage of time.

It would likely take only ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years?

To the Primordial World, and to Innate Divine Saints who casually entered seclusion for thousands or tens of thousands of years, it was no more than the blink of an eye.

He just did not know, once he became a Sage.

What would the Heavenly Dao think?

What would Hongjun think?

And what would the many Innate Divine Saints of the Primordial World think?

Surely!

When they learned that an Ancestral Witch could become a Sage, they would be utterly shocked, wouldn't they?

Di Jiang thought so.

Hearing Di Jiang's words, Ming He could only suppress his doubts.

Still, he believed Di Jiang had no reason to deceive him.

Nor did he possess anything worth deceiving him over!

Immediately after.

Di Jiang said to Hou Tu:

"Little Sister Hou Tu!"

"This Netherworld Blood Sea may allow you to comprehend many things."

"Ming He, take Little Sister Hou Tu to explore the Netherworld Blood Sea."

The last sentence was directed at Ming He.

Hearing Di Jiang's words, Hou Tu obediently nodded. Then she and Ming He began exploring the Netherworld Blood Sea, which was immensely vast, spanning hundreds of millions of billions of li.

The exploration would take quite some time.

Di Jiang was in no hurry. Within the Netherworld Blood Sea, he selected an island and began cultivating. There were still two thousand years until the next lecture.

He was not in any rush to return to Pangu Hall so soon.

Within this Netherworld Blood Sea, which stretched for hundreds of millions of billions of li, were countless islands, as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Di Jiang casually chose one and began cultivating.

He circulated the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique to raise his cultivation, while the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror and Netherworld Primordial Purple Qi within his sea of consciousness continuously enhanced his Dao attainment.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years went by.

A powerful aura spread from Di Jiang's body. His terrifying pressure directly stirred the boundless sea of blood into waves millions upon millions of zhang high, driving away countless living beings.

With Di Jiang at the center, there had long been no living beings within a radius of hundreds of millions of li.

Rumble!

A soundless roar resounded.

The bottleneck within Di Jiang's body shattered.

Perfected Primordial Golden Immortal, achieved!

"I've finally broken through to Perfected Primordial Golden Immortal!"

Di Jiang opened his eyes. Feeling the power within his body, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He now felt incomparably powerful.

With this feeling, even evaporating the entire Netherworld Blood Sea might not be impossible.

One had to know that the Netherworld Blood Sea was the most polluted place under heaven.

It was of extreme importance to the Primordial World.

Of course, Di Jiang was not foolish enough to do that. If he evaporated the Netherworld Blood Sea, it would likely incur boundless karmic sin, and even a Sage would not escape it.

Di Jiang continued pondering and muttered to himself:

"My cultivation has now reached Perfected Primordial Golden Immortal."

"As long as I continue comprehending the Netherworld Primordial Purple Qi, I can attain the Dao and become a Sage. At the same time, I can merge with the Earthly Dao, wield the power of the Earthly Dao, and establish the Netherworld!"

"And this will take less than ten thousand years!"

If an ordinary person knew what Di Jiang was thinking.

They would surely think he had gone mad.

Becoming a Sage! How could it be so simple? Not to mention merging with the Earthly Dao!

As he pondered this, Hou Tu and Ming He returned.

Sensing the increasingly terrifying aura around Di Jiang, Ming He was instantly overcome with shock. Only a thousand years had passed, yet Di Jiang's cultivation had broken through again?

How was that possible?!

Di Jiang looked at them and asked Hou Tu:

"Little Sister Hou Tu! How has your comprehension gone?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Hou Tu's eyes. She nodded and said:

"Eldest Brother! I have gained some insight, but I need time to continue comprehending it!"

Di Jiang said with a smile:

"Good! In that case, let us return to Ancestral Witch Hall!"

"Ming He! Remain in the Netherworld Blood Sea for now. When the time comes, an opportunity will naturally be bestowed upon you!"

Ming He forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and replied respectfully:

"Yes, Master!"

Then Di Jiang nodded and left the Netherworld Blood Sea with Hou Tu.

This journey had brought plentiful gains: his cultivation had reached Perfected Primordial Golden Immortal, he had accepted Ming He as a disciple, Little Sister Hou Tu had gained insight, and the hidden danger of the Netherworld Blood Sea had been eliminated.

It could truly be called a fruitful harvest!

Ming He watched Di Jiang leave, his eyes filled with reverence.

At that moment, Di Jiang and Hou Tu swiftly headed toward Pangu Hall. The former asked:

"Little Sister Hou Tu! What did you comprehend?"

Though he already knew the answer, he still wanted to ask.

Hou Tu replied:

"Eldest Brother! Within the Netherworld Blood Sea, I comprehended a type of law. It uses Earth Law as its foundation and can cause souls to cycle and be reborn."

Di Jiang said, "Reincarnation Law?"

Hou Tu nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Brother. Your insight is truly sharp. It is indeed Reincarnation Law!"

Di Jiang thought to himself, Just as expected.

What Hou Tu had comprehended was the Reincarnation Law.

Under normal circumstances, after Hou Tu comprehended the Reincarnation Law, she would have no choice but to transform into reincarnation itself, establish the Netherworld, and become Lady Ping Xin.

But with Di Jiang here, that would not happen.

The two witches conversed as they headed into Pangu Hall.
