Whoosh!
With a Space Folding, the Twelve Ancestral Witches vanished without a trace, not even leaving behind a wisp of karmic aura.
"Bastards!!!"
Hongjun, who was painstakingly suppressing the earth veins, watched Dijiang and the others sweep away every supreme treasure and saunter off. He was so furious he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He had plotted for countless yuanhui, schemed against the three clans, schemed against Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, the Five Elements, and even schemed against Luo Hou.
Just when success was within his grasp, Dijiang had snatched away the entire pot at the very last moment!
"No matter who you are... once this Daoist attains the Dao of the Primordial Unity, I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes!"
Hongjun gritted his teeth and swore this great vow. Yet for now, he could only remain there in stifled humiliation, miserably cleaning up after Luo Hou's self-destruction while bearing the endless resentment and karma of the Western Continent.
Mount Buzhou, Pangu Hall.
Space rippled violently as Dijiang led the other eleven Ancestral Witches out of the void, landing steadily in the center of the great hall.
"Hahaha! That was satisfying! Truly satisfying!"
The instant he landed, Zhu Rong could not help bursting into laughter, his voice making the hall hum. "Big Brother, did you see that old schemer Hongjun's face at the end? It turned green! He schemed and plotted all that time, only to come away without even a single hair, and now he has to stay behind eating dust!"
"Yeah, we made a killing this time!" Gonggong's face was also full of excitement.
Dijiang smiled faintly and swept his sleeve, releasing every spoil they had seized from the tiger's jaws.
"Hum—"
The first to appear were the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus and the God-Slaying Spear.
The moment these two demonic supreme treasures escaped Dijiang's spatial suppression, they erupted with towering Demonic Qi and killing intent, struggling violently as if trying to tear through the void and flee.
However, this was Pangu Hall!
It had been formed from Pangu's heart and bore Pangu's very presence.
Boom!
As though sensing the provocation of the Demonic Qi, the blood pool deep within the hall suddenly churned. An inexplicable pressure crashed down, pinning the Black Lotus and God-Slaying Spear in place.
"Hum..."
The two treasures, which had been wild and unyielding a moment ago, their demonic flames reaching the heavens, immediately let out mournful cries under that pressure. Like mice that had seen a cat, they obediently withdrew all their Demonic Qi, hovering quietly in midair and no longer daring to move in the slightest.
"Once you enter Pangu Hall, dragons must coil and tigers must lie down."
Dijiang snorted, then swept his gaze across the many supreme treasures floating in the air: the Taiji Diagram, Heaven-and-Earth Cauldron, Five-Elements Pagoda, Four Swords of Immortal Execution, God-Slaying Spear, and Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.
Any one of them, if taken out, would be enough to stir up a bloody storm in the Primordial World.
"Big Brother, how should we divide these treasures?" Qiang Liang rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning with eagerness.
Dijiang pondered for a moment, already having made up his mind.
"Though magical treasures are good, they must match one's own laws to unleash their greatest power."
He beckoned, drawing the ancient and weighty Heaven-and-Earth Cauldron, which radiated Mystic Yellow Aura, into his hand before passing it to Houtu.
"Houtu, you cultivate the Law of Earth. This Heaven-and-Earth Cauldron possesses the effect of Revert to Root, Return to Origin and can suppress Heaven and Earth. It suits you best. Refine it well. Whether for protection or artifact refinement, it will be of great use in the future."
"Thank you, Big Brother." Houtu's beautiful eyes lit up as she happily accepted the Heaven-and-Earth Cauldron.
Next, Dijiang's gaze fell upon the Five-Elements Pagoda, which emitted five-colored divine light.
This Five-Elements Pagoda was a top-grade innate Spirit Treasure containing the origins of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"This Five-Elements Pagoda..."
Dijiang looked at Zhu Rong, Gonggong, Jumang, and Ru Shou.
The four of them respectively controlled the laws of fire, water, wood, and metal. Logically, giving the Five-Elements Pagoda to any one of them would be suitable, yet choosing any one of them also seemed unfair to the others.
Zhu Rong and Gonggong exchanged a glance. Though they usually did not get along, they were unexpectedly in perfect accord at this moment.
"Big Brother, I don't want this pagoda. My Southern Bright Flame is tyrannical enough as it is. The water and wood aura within this pagoda irritate me just looking at them." Zhu Rong waved his hand.
"I don't want it either." Gonggong shook his head as well.
Jumang and Ru Shou likewise stated that they had no need for it.
A trace of gratification appeared in Dijiang's eyes. Though none of the four brothers wanted it, leaving the Five-Elements Pagoda without an owner for the moment, that was still better than all four of them wanting it.
"Since none of you wants it, let the Five-Elements Pagoda be nurtured in the blood pool for now. If someone can thoroughly master the Five Elements laws in the future, it will be granted to them."
With that, Dijiang sent the Five-Elements Pagoda into the blood pool.
Afterward, he looked toward the Taiji Diagram, which radiated yin and yang qi.
"This Taiji Diagram was formed from the back of the Heaven-Opening Axe. It is an Innate Supreme Treasure, unmatched in defense, and can also calm earth, water, fire, and wind."
Dijiang pushed the Taiji Diagram toward Zhu Jiuyin. "Jiu Yin, you are the most steady in your actions, and the Time Law is mysterious and unfathomable. With you in command of this Taiji Diagram, I will be most at ease."
Zhu Jiuyin did not refuse. He solemnly accepted the Taiji Diagram. "Thank you, Big Brother."
After distributing those three, only the killing treasures remained.
Dijiang's gaze settled on the Four Swords of Immortal Execution and the God-Slaying Spear.
"The Four Swords of Immortal Execution carry killing intent that is too heavy. I will keep these four swords and their formation diagram for now."
Dijiang stored the Four Swords of Immortal Execution in his spatial realm, then picked up the God-Slaying Spear, whose Killing Intent surged to the heavens.
"Xuanming."
Dijiang looked at the silent Xuanming. "You cultivate the laws of ice and rain, both of which contain the utmost grim slaughter. This God-Slaying Spear was formed from the lotus stem of the Chaos Green Lotus combined with Heaven-Opening Killing Intent. It specializes in injuring Primordial Spirits and is peerless in slaughter. It is perfect for you."
A flash of light crossed Xuanming's cool eyes as she stepped forward and accepted the God-Slaying Spear.
The moment the spear entered her grasp, a terrifying will of slaughter tried to invade her Primordial Spirit, only to be instantly frozen and suppressed by the bone-piercing cold laws within her.
"Thank you, Big Brother. I like it very much." Xuanming lightly stroked the spear's shaft, a faint smile curling her lips.
At last, only the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus remained.
"This Black Lotus can absorb violent qi and possesses formidable defense."
After thinking for a moment, Dijiang tossed it to Qiang Liang. "Qiang Liang, you cultivate the Thunder Law. Your offense is more than sufficient, but your defense is lacking. Take this Black Lotus to protect yourself."
"Hehe, thank you, Big Brother!" Qiang Liang happily put away the Black Lotus.
"Oh, and be careful before refining Luo Hou's magical treasures, lest Luo Hou left something behind."
Dijiang gave one final warning. He did not care much about things like the Heaven-and-Earth Pagoda, but he had to be cautious with remnants left behind by Luo Hou, such as the God-Slaying Spear. After all, he knew that although Luo Hou had self-destructed, he had not truly died.
"Understood, Big Brother." Xuanming and Qiang Liang nodded.
With that, the seized supreme treasures had all been distributed.
The overall strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches had once again undergone a qualitative leap.
"Alright, the magical treasures have been distributed. Next, it is time to discuss other matters."
Hearing that Dijiang had other matters to discuss, the brothers who had received Spirit Treasures hugged them in their arms, while those who had not obtained any simply sat cross-legged, watching Dijiang with serious expressions.
