Robbing the Three Pure Ones!

As Hongjun expounded the Dao, boundless Dao resonance spread through the air, and three thousand laws emerged from the void.

Golden lotuses surged from the ground, each as large as a millstone, their crystal-clear petals flowing with Dao resonance.

The divine beings began listening and comprehending.

Because Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches now possessed Primordial Spirits,

they too could listen to the Dao and gain enlightenment.

"Strange!"

"Very strange!"

Hongjun lectured while observing the divine beings.

He discovered that the Ancestral Witches could actually sit quietly and listen to the Dao.

It was simply inconceivable!

One had to know that the Ancestral Witches had no Primordial Spirits!

How could they possibly understand?

Hongjun could not make sense of it no matter how hard he thought.

He secretly took out the Creation Jade Disc and began rubbing it again.

The Creation Jade Disc was practically smoking from all the rubbing.

Yet he still found no answer.

"Forget it!"

"I should finish this lecture and merge with the Dao as soon as possible!"

Hongjun thought to himself:

"Once I set the Karmic Tribulation in motion, even if the Ancestral Witches are strange, they will be nothing to fear!"

With that in mind, Hongjun continued his lecture.

Golden Dao flowers drifted continuously through the void.

These golden Dao flowers had condensed from Dao resonance.

As long as one absorbed a Dao flower, one could comprehend the Heavenly Dao principles within it.

Di Jiang was also absorbing the golden Dao flowers.

His understanding of the Dao of Space grew increasingly refined.

Since Hongjun wanted to become the Dao Ancestor, he naturally had to offer something worthwhile.

Otherwise, the divine beings would not buy it.

These Dao flowers must be something that old loach comprehended from the Creation Jade Disc!

Di Jiang thought so.

Seeing the other Ancestral Witches engrossed in comprehension, even Zhurong among them, he nodded inwardly.

After listening to this lecture,

their understanding of Primordial Spirit cultivation would surely become clearer.

It would also be more beneficial to their future plans.

Gradually,

time passed.

In the blink of an eye,

three thousand years had gone by.

"This lecture has concluded!"

"The next lecture will be held three thousand years from now."

Hongjun's voice echoed throughout Zixiao Palace, and then his figure gradually vanished.

The many Innate Divine Saints awoke from their enlightenment.

Upon hearing this, they all departed.

After bidding Di Jiang farewell, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun also left.

The Three Pure Ones transformed into three streaks of clear light and flew directly out of Zixiao Palace.

In the blink of an eye,

the entire Zixiao Palace

was left with only Di Jiang and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Di Jiang led the other Ancestral Witches out of Zixiao Palace.

Within Chaos, chaotic energy raged wildly.

Di Jiang spread his spatial power to protect the witches.

Zhurong looked excited as he rubbed his hands and said:

"Big Brother! What do we do next?"

The other Ancestral Witches wore excited smiles as they thought about what they were about to do.

Even Hou Tu, who had a comparatively honest nature, looked the same.

Di Jiang said with a smile:

"Your body cultivation is now at the Mid-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, while your Primordial Spirit cultivation is at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. None of you will have any problem dealing with any one of the Three Pure Ones."

"But to be safe, we'll split into three groups and intercept the Three Pure Ones separately."

"Four witches against one!"

"Make each of them hand over the Nine-Turn Origin Technique."

"Then we'll compare them against each other! If any of them conceal something, teach them a lesson."

This was called a double-blind test!

That way, the Three Pure Ones would not dare tamper with it too much.

Among the Three Pure Ones, Tai Shang was the strongest, with Late-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation.

Yuan Shi and Tong Tian were both at the Mid-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

The Ancestral Witches would naturally have no trouble capturing them.

Not to mention four Ancestral Witches with Primordial Spirits.

Upon hearing this, all the Ancestral Witches rubbed their fists together, their faces full of excitement.

Zhurong said bluntly:

"Big Brother, tell us!"

"What should we do?"

Di Jiang continued with a smile:

"I'll take Ju Mang, Zhurong, and Ru Shou."

"Zhu Jiuyin, you take Xuanming, Qiang Liang, and Shebi Shi."

"Little Sister Hou Tu, you take Tian Wu, Xi Zi, and Gong Gong."

He separated Zhurong and Gong Gong to avoid any mishaps.

Zhu Jiuyin and Hou Tu nodded, indicating that they understood.

Di Jiang continued:

"To avoid exposing our identities, conceal your appearances."

The Ancestral Witches promptly replied, "Yes, Big Brother!"

Then they split into three groups and swiftly pursued the Three Pure Ones in the direction they had left.

Clear light streaked swiftly through Chaos.

It blocked all the raging chaotic energy around it.

Within the clear light were Tai Shang, Yuan Shi, and Tong Tian.

At that moment,

thinking of what had happened in Zixiao Palace, Yuan Shi's expression was somewhat unsightly. He turned to Tong Tian and snorted coldly:

"Third Brother!"

"Why did you apologize to them just now?"

"Was I wrong?"

"Aren't they all wet-born, egg-laying creatures?"

Being questioned again, Tong Tian also felt anger rising in his heart. He said:

"Second Brother!"

"Did you see what happened just now?"

"You provoked everyone's outrage!"

Yuan Shi flew into a rage and rebuked him:

"Tong Tian! You dare question your elder brother?"

"Are you trying to defy your superior?"

Tong Tian's face darkened.

"Second Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"You're saying I was wrong?"

"Do you really think you can handle everyone in Zixiao Palace?"

Yuan Shi snorted coldly.

"Isn't that so?"

"The name of the Three Pure Ones cannot be insulted!"

Fury burned in Tong Tian's heart. He turned toward Tai Shang and said:

"Big Brother! What do you think?"

Tai Shang, whose expression had remained calm, was about to speak when his face suddenly changed. He shouted:

"Watch out!"

Tong Tian and Yuan Shi reacted too slowly.

Powerful spatial force struck the protective clear light around them and exploded in an instant. The surrounding chaotic energy began scattering in every direction.

A thunderous boom rang out, and the Three Pure Ones were immediately separated.

Tong Tian and Yuan Shi groaned, their expressions filled with shock.

Tai Shang had defended himself in time and only felt some tightness in his chest. When he looked up, he discovered that he had been separated from his second and third brothers.

In the vastness of Chaos, finding them again would take no small amount of time.

But before him stood four black-clad figures whose faces could not be seen.

The black-clad figures formed a horn-shaped formation, surrounding him.

Tai Shang's expression darkened somewhat, but he did not panic. He asked coldly:

"Who are you?"

"You dare attack us Three Pure Ones?"

The leading black-clad figure spoke in a hoarse voice:

"The Three Pure Ones are exactly who we seek!"

"If you weren't the Three Pure Ones, we wouldn't have come looking for you!"

Tai Shang's pupils contracted slightly.

These black-clad figures had a clear objective and must have something to rely on.

Naturally, these black-clad figures were Di Jiang and the others.

The black-clad figure who had just spoken was naturally Di Jiang.

Tai Shang continued, "What do you want?"

Di Jiang smiled. "We want something from you!"

Tai Shang asked, "What?"

Di Jiang said meaningfully, "I have heard that you Three Pure Ones possess the Nine-Turn Origin Technique! I wish to see it for myself! Would Fellow Daoist Tai Shang be willing to part with it?"

Tai Shang's pupils constricted as he frowned.

"What Nine-Turn Origin Technique? I have no idea what you are talking about!"

Di Jiang shook his head.

"Tai Shang! Since I came here, I naturally know you have it. Why bother putting on this act?"

"Arrogant!"

Tai Shang shouted, then suddenly attacked.
