Qing Xuanzi sacrificed the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus and completely disregarded defense, unleashing divine abilities and techniques on Dong Wanggong as if they were free.
He even used martial arts divine abilities; Qing Xuanzi was essentially going all out.
After a relentless beating that left Dong Wanggong disoriented,
Dong Wanggong suddenly felt that he had probably, most likely, kicked a steel plate.
So he left in anger, leaving behind a harsh remark before departing: "My Immortal Court and you shall be irreconcilable."
This angered Qing Xuanzi so much that he almost chased after him directly.
However, he still held back. He discovered a weakness of his: a lack of spiritual treasures, a severe lack of offensive spiritual treasures.
Even though he was a cut above Dong Wanggong, it wasn't easy to kill him.
The reason was the lack of a suitable offensive spiritual treasure.
As soon as he thought of a suitable offensive spiritual treasure, Pangu's words echoed in Qing Xuanzi's mind:
"If you lack offensive spiritual treasures in the future, go to the Ancestral Witch Hall on Buzhou Mountain. The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler is there."
As for how to gain the trust of the Ancestral Witches, Qing Xuanzi was already prepared.
Acting on his thoughts, Qing Xuanzi used the spatial divine ability that only Hunyuan Golden Immortals could comprehend: A Step Across the Horizon.
With a single step, he arrived at Buzhou Mountain.
Deep within Buzhou Mountain, there was a place shrouded in turbid energy year-round.
That was the ancestral land of the Ancestral Witches, and the Ancestral Witch Hall was located there.
"Human Race brat, the area ahead is our Ancestral Witch forbidden ground. Do not enter." A loud shout came, stopping Qing Xuanzi in his tracks.
"I am Qing Xuanzi of the Human Race. I seek an audience with the Ancestral Witches. I hope this Witch Race brother will announce me," Qing Xuanzi said, bowing and stating his purpose.
"Get lost. Do you think you can just meet the Ancestral Witches whenever you want?" Clearly, that Witch Race member wasn't buying Qing Xuanzi's story and directly chased him away.
"In that case, this Witch Race brother, Qing Xuanzi apologizes for the offense." Seeing that he couldn't communicate properly with these Witch Race members, Qing Xuanzi directly revealed his massive true body, planning to cause a commotion first.
The true body Qing Xuanzi displayed had a significant origin, a very significant one.
It was a divine ability Pangu had specifically created for the future martial arts of the Human Race: the Human Ancestor True Body.
It was identical to the Ancestral Witch True Body, equally vast, ancient, and profound.
The difference between it and the Ancestral Witch True Body was that the Ancestral Witch True Body was activated by Pangu's essence blood, while the Human Ancestor True Body was activated by the Five Grand Primordial Arts.
The auras they emitted were extremely similar. If one didn't observe carefully, it was very easy to confuse them.
For example, the Witch Race member in front of him rubbed his eyes, bewildered.
What the hell, a sudden sound out of nowhere, and an Ancestral Witch appeared? Is this for real?
Soon, the aura of Qing Xuanzi's Human Ancestor True Body attracted the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Twelve massive Ancestral Witch True Bodies surrounded Qing Xuanzi.
"Strange, how can an outsider use the Ancestral Witch True Body?"
"Exactly, exactly. Why don't you, old Zhurong, go up and fight him? Maybe it's just for show."
"Right, right, that makes sense."
"Brothers, stop messing around. Let's hear what this brother has to say."
"What else is there to say? Since he can use the Ancestral Witch True Body, why not just fight him to verify his identity?"
"..."
The Ancestral Witches chattered away, their voices particularly loud, making Qing Xuanzi's ears ring.
He quickly said, "Fellow Ancestral Witches, this humble Daoist, Qing Xuanzi, is from the Human Race. What I used was not the Ancestral Witch True Body, but the Human Ancestor True Body."
"Whatever you say, let's fight first." Zhurong immediately threw a fist as big as a small mountain.
Qing Xuanzi gave a wry smile and could only unleash his martial arts movement technique, engaging in a fight with Zhurong.
The Ancestral Witches scattered, leaving an open area.
However, they soon realized that this wasn't a fight at all; it was purely a one-sided beating.
The one being beaten was Zhurong.
After all, Qing Xuanzi was at the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm and used the Five Grand Primordial Arts, which were as pure as could be.
How could Zhurong be his opponent? In just a moment, his face and body were covered in bruises.
The Ancestral Witches could also see that Qing Xuanzi hadn't intended to kill.
Zhurong's injuries were all superficial.
"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore! If you've got the guts, suppress your cultivation to be the same as mine and then fight!" Zhurong, who had been beaten mercilessly, jumped out of the fighting circle, complaining about the unfairness.
The Ancestral Witches burst into laughter at Zhurong's embarrassed state. It was rare for this battle maniac to voluntarily admit defeat.
Dijiang, as the leader of the Ancestral Witches, stepped forward and patted Qing Xuanzi's shoulder, indicating that the Ancestral Witches accepted Qing Xuanzi as a friend.
"Regardless of whether you are from the Human Race or something else, since you can display the Ancestral Witch True Body, you are our brother. Let's go inside and talk first."
Dijiang didn't care what Qing Xuanzi said; he was convinced that what Qing Xuanzi displayed was the Ancestral Witch True Body.
He then invited him into the Ancestral Witch ancestral land for a detailed discussion.
Qing Xuanzi's goal had also been achieved, so he naturally withdrew his Human Ancestor True Body and walked into the Ancestral Witch ancestral land with the Ancestral Witches.
"Brother Dijiang, to be honest, my Human Ancestor True Body actually originated from Great God Pangu," Qing Xuanzi explained after arriving at the location.
"Hehe, anyway, I can't tell the difference," Zhurong said with a chuckle from the side.
"Brother Qing Xuanzi, since you call me Big Brother, I, the Ancestral Witch, have accepted you as a brother. Tell me, what brings you here to Big Brother?"
Dijiang knew that Qing Xuanzi wouldn't reveal his true body and attract them for no reason; there must be something important. He said this in a straightforward manner.
"When I was in Chaos, I received care from Great God Pangu. He told me that if I ever needed spiritual treasures in the future, I could go to his descendants on Buzhou Mountain to seek help."
Qing Xuanzi stopped here. He had already made his meaning very clear.
However, what the Ancestral Witches were interested in was the first half of his sentence: in the Chaos era, he received care from Great God Pangu.
"I am Houtu. May I ask, fellow Daoist Qing Xuanzi, are you a Chaos Fiendgod?" It was Houtu who spoke.
"No, at that time I was merely a wisp of spiritual light that had gained sentience. If it weren't for the protection of Great God Pangu, I would have died countless times by now."
"Hahaha, in that case, brother, you are also of Father God's generation." Dijiang didn't notice his grammatical error.
"No, no, no, how could I be of the same generation as Great God Pangu? To be precise, I should be considered his offspring." Qing Xuanzi shamelessly pulled himself into the Pangu family to get closer to the Ancestral Witches.
"Good, I acknowledge you as a brother. Isn't it just about spirit treasures? Since you are also Father God's offspring, go to Pangu Hall and choose one yourself."
Dijiang acknowledged him as a brother without question and directly told Qing Xuanzi to go choose a spirit treasure.
Upon entering Pangu Hall, Qing Xuanzi immediately saw a ruler. Although it didn't seem particularly extraordinary.
After all, divine objects often conceal their brilliance.
However, Qing Xuanzi's heart told him that it was the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler he was looking for.
A cultivator's first intuition is often the truth.
Without a word, Qing Xuanzi walked directly to the ruler that had been casually tossed in a corner.
He bent down to pick it up.
But the moment Qing Xuanzi touched it, a sudden change occurred.
A whooshing sound came from behind him, and at the same time, a loud shout rang out: "How dare you, thief! You actually dared to touch this place!"
