Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique!

Tai Shang's head was crowned by the Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, the foremost acquired merit treasure. A Flat Cane appeared in his hand, and he viciously smashed it toward Di Jiang.

Di Jiang had long been prepared. He let out a long howl and said, "Attack!"

Zhurong, Ju Mang, and Ru Shou swiftly made their moves.

Standing atop an azure cloud, Ju Mang was wreathed in Azure Wood Divine Light. With a raised hand, countless willow branches transformed into emerald blades, carrying the force of spring's birth as they shredded toward Tai Shang.

Zhurong's crimson hair burned like flame, and blazing fire engulfed his body. With a sweep of both arms, Ninefold True Fire transformed into roaring fire dragons that surged mightily toward Tai Shang.

Ru Shou's black robes fluttered fiercely, golden energy around him as sharp as blades. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a sky full of golden weapons, each wrapped in the grim aura of autumn. As they fell, laws shattered, and they slashed toward Tai Shang.

Space power coiled around Di Jiang, giving rise to a terrifying spatial storm that seemed ready to swallow even the chaotic energy within Chaos. A powerful suction force swept toward Tai Shang.

"Ancestral Witches!"

"You dare do this?!"

Tai Shang recognized these methods. Greatly shocked, he roared.

How could he possibly be Di Jiang's match?

In an instant.

He was defeated.

Tai Shang looked at Di Jiang and the others with a pale face, his hair somewhat disheveled as he said:

"No! You are not Ancestral Witches!"

"Ancestral Witches have no Primordial Spirits!"

"Who exactly are you?"

Zhurong and the other witches laughed.

Just as expected!

He could not recognize them.

No one would have imagined that the Ancestral Witches actually possessed Primordial Spirits.

Di Jiang smiled and said:

"Who we are is none of your concern!"

"Fellow Daoist Tai Shang, do you want your life, or will you hand over the Nine-Turn Origin Technique?"

Tai Shang gritted his teeth. "I'll hand it over!"

Di Jiang said calmly:

"Don't try anything."

"My other brothers are taking very good care of your two younger brothers."

"If we find out that you tampered with the technique."

"Hehe! Then next time, I will not be so easy to talk to!"

They could not kill the Three Pure Ones for now!

They carried Heaven-Opening Merit!

And if they pushed Tai Shang too hard.

The Three Pure Ones might be driven to desperation.

It would be troublesome if their side suffered losses then.

Hearing this.

Tai Shang's heart chilled.

He truly had intended to leave something behind in the technique.

But after hearing this, he no longer dared tamper with it.

Immediately after.

He handed the Nine-Turn Origin Technique over to Di Jiang.

Di Jiang chuckled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Tai Shang, you are quite sensible!"

"Then we'll take our leave!"

Zhurong, Ju Mang, and Ru Shou also chuckled.

With that, Di Jiang swiftly departed with Zhurong and the others.

Only Tai Shang remained where he was, his face alternating between green and white.

Soon after.

He left with a dark expression.

Pangu Hall.

The witches returned here.

Di Jiang smiled and asked, "How did it go?"

Hou Tu revealed an excited smile. She handed the Nine-Turn Origin Technique she had obtained from Tong Tian to Di Jiang and said:

"Big Brother! This is the technique!"

"That Tong Tian was rather cooperative. Once he realized he was outmatched, he obediently handed it over."

Tian Wu, Xi Zi, and Gong Gong grinned and nodded.

Zhu Jiuyin also handed the Nine-Turn Origin Technique he had obtained to Di Jiang, saying with a smile:

"Big Brother, this is the Nine-Turn Origin Technique!"

"That Yuan Shi was rather prideful and suffered quite a bit physically."

Xuanming also smiled and said:

"That's right! Yuan Shi's mouth was too foul!"

"We gave him a good lesson."

Qiang Liang and Shebi Shi wore strange smiles.

Sister Xuanming had not merely taught Yuan Shi a lesson.

She had frozen Yuan Shi in ice and left him drifting freely through Chaos.

Di Jiang smiled and said:

"Alright! Next, let us examine these techniques."

"If the techniques match, then they are genuine. If they differ, it proves that the Three Pure Ones were playing tricks."

The witches nodded.

Then, Di Jiang began examining the techniques.

They matched!

Di Jiang smiled and said:

"That's right! This is the Nine-Turn Origin Technique!"

"It shares the same origin as the Nine-Turn Profound Technique passed down to us."

"It was left behind by Father God!"

Joy appeared on the witches' faces.

Di Jiang passed the Nine-Turn Origin Technique on to the witches, then said:

"Go cultivate now!"

"Both your physical cultivation and Primordial Spirit cultivation must improve."

"Understood?"

The witches hurriedly replied, "Yes, Big Brother!"

Then, the witches went to cultivate.

Di Jiang also began cultivating.

Meanwhile.

Mount Kunlun.

The Three Pure Ones sat together.

Yuan Shi's expression was dark.

Tong Tian wore a stern expression.

Tai Shang's eyes were closed, his expression as still as an ancient well.

Yet his heart was far less calm than he appeared.

Suppressing his rage, Yuan Shi said in a hoarse voice:

"This was definitely done by the Ancestral Witches!"

"Who else but those brutes is known for their physical bodies and bears a grudge against me?"

Tong Tian kept a straight face and said indifferently:

"Second Brother, you are overthinking it!"

Yuan Shi said furiously:

"Tong Tian! What do you mean by that?"

Tong Tian sneered:

"What do I mean? Yuan Shi, do you know that you offended everyone back at Zixiao Palace?"

"Under such circumstances, anyone could have acted!"

Yuan Shi was left speechless.

Tai Shang opened his eyes, anger flashing within them as he shouted:

"Enough!"

Seeing Tai Shang grow angry, Tong Tian and Yuan Shi immediately fell silent and did not dare speak further.

A rare look of exhaustion appeared on Tai Shang's face as he slowly said:

"It was not the Ancestral Witches! The Ancestral Witches cannot possess Primordial Spirits!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shi's face alternated between green and white. He then rose to his feet, flicked his sleeve, and left.

Tong Tian said to Tai Shang, "Big Brother, this third brother will take his leave!"

Tai Shang waved his hand.

Tong Tian departed.

Tai Shang let out a weary sigh.

In the past, he would have acted as a mediator and persuaded them when they argued.

But now, he truly had no mood for it.

His state of mind was no longer as detached as before.

Pangu Hall.

Di Jiang was cultivating.

He did not know that because of him.

The Three Pure Ones had developed a conflict.

At this moment.

He began circulating the Nine-Turn Origin Technique. The Primordial Spirit within his sea of consciousness absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, growing stronger at a visible rate.

"As expected of the Nine-Turn Origin Technique, a technique specifically for cultivating the Primordial Spirit!"

Di Jiang praised inwardly.

His Primordial Spirit grew increasingly powerful.

Had he not obtained the Nine-Turn Origin Technique, cultivating his Primordial Spirit on his own might have taken millions of years before he could break through.

But with this technique, his Primordial Spirit cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds each day.

The difference was simply incomparable!

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye.

A thousand years went by.

On this day.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Two silent booms rang out.

A powerful aura spread from Di Jiang's body.

"Both my physical cultivation and Primordial Spirit cultivation have broken through to the Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm!"

A smile appeared on Di Jiang's face as he murmured.

The Nine-Turn Profound Technique cultivated the physical body!

The Nine-Turn Origin Technique cultivated the Primordial Spirit!

He discovered that these two techniques could promote each other during cultivation.

Neither the Twelve Ancestral Witches nor the Three Pure Ones.

Seemed to have ever tried combining these two techniques for cultivation.

Even the later Three Pure Ones had only obtained an incomplete version of the Nine-Turn Profound Technique.

Only Di Jiang of the present could combine them.

"Judging by this cultivation speed, setting aside the influence of the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror."

"These two techniques were originally one."

"But because the Heavenly Dao would not permit such a thing to happen."

"It separated them!"

Di Jiang pondered this, joy flashing in his eyes as he thought:

"With this, perhaps I have hope of attaining the Dao as a Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal!"
