Primordial Gourds Emerge!

Time was not counted in the Primordial World.

In the blink of an eye.

Another thousand years had passed.

Inside Pangu Hall.

Di Jiang's aura had condensed to the extreme. Dao rhythms evolved around him, and three thousand laws manifested.

He now appeared no less impressive than Hongjun had been when he attained the Dao and became a Sage.

Di Jiang slowly opened his eyes, a calm smile appearing on his face.

He then spread out his divine sense and sensed the other Ancestral Witches discussing matters within the hall.

His thoughts stirred, and Di Jiang's figure vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he had arrived in the main hall.

Upon seeing Di Jiang, the Ancestral Witches all rose to their feet and said:

"Big Brother!"

Di Jiang looked at them and nodded.

"Very good! All of you have already broken through to the mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm!"

Zhurong burst into laughter.

"That is all thanks to the opportunity bestowed by Father God."

The reason their cultivation had advanced so quickly was because they had cultivated the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique.

The Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique had been derived from the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror left behind by Father God Pangu, restoring the Three Pure Ones' Nine-Turn Origin Technique and the Ancestral Witches' own Nine-Turn Profound Technique.

In short, it was an opportunity bestowed upon them by Father God Pangu.

Gong Gong also laughed heartily. "And thanks to Big Brother as well!"

Zhurong shot him a glare, but did not refute him.

Gong Gong glared right back at him.

Seeing this, the Ancestral Witches all burst into laughter.

Sensing Di Jiang's aura, Zhu Jiuyin hurriedly asked:

"Big Brother! Have you already become a Sage?"

A Sage?

Had Big Brother finally become a Sage?

They had witnessed the power of a Sage through that old loach Hongjun.

It was terrifyingly powerful!

As they thought this, the Ancestral Witches looked at Di Jiang with excitement in their hearts.

Di Jiang shook his head and smiled.

"Not yet! But I can do so at any time!"

"However, now is not the right time for a breakthrough."

Hou Tu asked curiously:

"Then, Big Brother! When would be the right time?"

Di Jiang's gaze passed through Pangu Hall and toward the Chaos beyond the Primordial World. He replied calmly:

"We must wait until that old loach Hongjun joins with the Dao!"

Once Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, he would no longer be able to act freely.

If Di Jiang became a Sage now while Hongjun had yet to merge with the Dao, then for the sake of his own schemes, Hongjun would certainly act against Di Jiang.

Di Jiang had never underestimated the power of a Sage.

Naturally, he would not be foolish enough to do such a thing.

Hearing this, the Ancestral Witches all nodded in understanding.

Just as Di Jiang was about to speak, his heart suddenly stirred, and his figure vanished from the spot.

The Ancestral Witches looked curious, then immediately followed after Di Jiang.

Mount Kunlun.

Within a profound formation, a Primordial Gourd Vine shone brilliantly.

At this moment.

Quite a few Innate Divine Saints were already waiting around the Primordial Gourd Vine.

They were Tai Shang, Yuan Shi, Tong Tian, Nuwa, Fuxi, Dijun, Taiyi, Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, Jie Yin, and Zhun Ti.

Di Jiang's figure appeared here.

The instant they saw Di Jiang, strange expressions surfaced on their faces.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, however, were delighted. They cupped their hands toward Di Jiang and transmitted their voices:

"Fellow Daoist Di Jiang!"

"An extraordinary treasure is about to emerge here. Perhaps it is destined for you, Fellow Daoist."

Di Jiang nodded with a smile, also cupping his hands as he transmitted his voice:

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoists!"

The Three Pure Ones' expressions shifted slightly as they became fully vigilant. Ever since Di Jiang had driven them back last time, their impression of the Ancestral Witches had plummeted.

Their defeat at Di Jiang's hands had become known to many Innate Divine Saints, causing the Three Pure Ones' prestige to fall sharply.

Now, they wished nothing more than to kill the Ancestral Witches and restore the Three Pure Ones' reputation.

Dijun and Taiyi's gazes were icy.

Taiyi in particular looked as though fire might shoot from his eyes as he stared at Di Jiang. He transmitted his voice to Dijun:

"Big Brother! Di Jiang actually dared to come here?"

"My Eastern Sovereign Bell is still in his hands! I cannot wait to kill him here."

Dijun's gaze was cold as he replied:

"Second Brother, do not be hasty! This spiritual treasure is emerging now, so let us secure it first!"

"As for the Eastern Sovereign Bell, once we become Sages and kill every last one of the Ancestral Witches, it will naturally return to your hands, Second Brother."

Hearing Dijun's words, Taiyi suppressed the killing intent in his eyes and decided to wait and see.

"Di Jiang has come as well! Junior Brother, I fear we will not be able to claim these gourds!"

Jie Yin transmitted his voice to Zhun Ti.

"Hmph! Not necessarily! Di Jiang is alone!"

"And there are quite a few of us here."

Zhun Ti snorted coldly as he transmitted his voice to Jie Yin.

Just as everyone harbored their own thoughts.

Suddenly.

Eleven powerful auras emerged.

Everyone's expressions changed at once.

At this moment.

The other Ancestral Witches tore through space one after another.

They arrived directly at Di Jiang's side.

Sensing the other Ancestral Witches' auras, everyone's faces changed.

These brutes had actually broken through to the Quasi-Sage realm as well?

They did not know that the Ancestral Witches walked the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

Nuwa and Fuxi looked somewhat uncomfortable as they cupped their hands toward the Ancestral Witches.

The Ancestral Witches nodded and stood quietly behind Di Jiang.

Since cultivating the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique and advancing their Primordial Spirits and physical bodies together, their tempers had clearly improved greatly, though they still fought often.

However, before so many Innate Divine Saints, they were able to restrain themselves well.

Even Zhurong and Gong Gong were no exception.

Di Jiang could not be bothered with them. His gaze fell upon the Primordial Gourd Vine before him. As expected, it is this. This Primordial Gourd Vine contains immense fortune.

It was connected to Nuwa attaining Sainthood through the creation of humanity!

"Perfect. I can claim the Primordial Gourd Vine and the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, then scheme for a Human Dao Sage position!"

Di Jiang pondered this secretly.

The Primordial Gourd Vine was rooted in the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and nourished by the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, bearing seven gourds of different colors.

Each gourd had its destined owner, but the gourd vine and the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil were treasures Nuwa needed to become a Sage.

If he wanted to scheme for a Human Dao Sage position, these two items were of vital importance.

According to the original course of events, Nuwa possessed the merit of creating humanity. She could have used the boundless fortune of the Human Dao to draw forth the Human Dao Hongmeng Violet Qi.

She could then have used the Human Dao Hongmeng Violet Qi to attain the Dao and become a Sage. Such Sainthood belonged exclusively to the Human Dao and did not lie beneath the Heavenly Dao!

However, Nuwa had been plotted against by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun. She used the Heavenly Dao Hongmeng Violet Qi to become a Sage, causing the Human Dao to fall a level beneath the Heavenly Dao.

The Dao Ancestor of the Heavenly Dao!

The Supreme of the Earthly Dao!

The Master of the Human Dao!

These three had originally stood on equal footing.

Nuwa had originally been the Master of the Human Dao, yet later became a Heavenly Dao Sage.

The difference was far greater than a single level!

"But now that I am here, I can take advantage of this opportunity and scheme for a Human Dao Sage position."

Di Jiang thought to himself, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his lips.

In order to gather the power of the three Daos and attain the Great Dao Realm.

He had severed three Dao avatars.

Two of those avatars were Di Hai and Di Liu.

Di Hai walked the path of the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Di Liu, meanwhile, walked the path of the Heavenly Dao Sage.

His true body would attain the Earthly Dao Realm.

As for the final avatar, the time had not yet come, and it had yet to take form.

Just then.

The Primordial Gourd Vine began to shine with dazzling light.

Seeing this, the Ancestral Witches exchanged glances and began transmitting their voices to one another.

"We cannot let the Three Pure Ones, Dijun, and Taiyi obtain these gourds!"

"That is right! The Three Pure Ones attacked Big Brother last time. How can we let them have it easy?"

"Exactly! Dijun and Taiyi have attacked us many times as well. Our cultivation has advanced again today, so let us show them what we are capable of."

"Besides, the way they looked at Big Brother and us just now was far from friendly! They want these gourds? Dream on!"

"Exactly, exactly! Sister Hou Tu, what do you think?"

"I think that is perfectly reasonable!"

"..."

After transmitting their voices back and forth, the Witches ultimately decided to stop the Three Pure Ones, Dijun, and the others.

At the very least, they could not allow them to obtain these gourds.

As for Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi, and Nuwa.

They had no grievances with them, so naturally there was no need to target them.

Just then.

The formation began to dissipate slowly.

The seven gourds on the vine radiated all manner of auras.

Boom!

The formation dispersed, and its aura spread outward.

The Primordial Gourds had emerged!
