After Xuan Ming finished speaking, she leaped up and pinned Ling Wudao to the ground.
Then she turned to Houtu. "Houtu, what are you waiting for? If we miss this chance, we'll have to enter seclusion for ten million years. Do you really want to wait that long?"
Hearing this, a trace of conflict flashed across Houtu's face.
That was right! If she missed this opportunity, she would have no chance to do what Dao Companions were supposed to do for the next ten million years.
With that thought, Houtu's face instantly flushed red, and she slowly walked toward Ling Wudao.
...!
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed. Xuan Ming slowly rose from the ground, a faint, knowing smile still lingering on her face.
"Houtu, you usually seem so gentle. I never expected you to be even crazier than me over these hundred years."
Hearing Xuan Ming's words, Houtu slowly put on her clothes and rose from the ground.
"Sister, I was just thinking that we'll be in seclusion for ten million years, so...!"
"Hehe!"
"I understand, little sister. We can spend more time exchanging pointers together in the future."
"Wudao, hurry up. We've already spent a hundred years in the treasure vault. If we don't go out soon, Big Brother and the others will start suspecting us."
At those words, Ling Wudao immediately got up from the ground and put on his clothes. Then he said to Xuan Ming, "You should get dressed quickly too. It'll be troublesome if Di Jiang and the others come in."
Those two girls were far too fierce. They hadn't stopped even once in a hundred years. If I didn't have the Mythical Sacred Talisman Body, along with the strength of a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal, I really might not have been able to take it.
A moment later, Xuan Ming finished dressing and said to Ling Wudao, "Let's go out now. Otherwise, Big Brother and the others will get anxious."
Ling Wudao and Houtu nodded, and the three of them headed out of the treasure vault.
Before long, after returning to Pangu Hall, the three discovered that aside from Di Jiang, none of the other Ancestral Witches were inside.
Seeing this, Houtu asked, "Big Brother Di Jiang, where are the other brothers?"
"They all returned to their own tribes to make arrangements. Did you find what you needed?"
Ling Wudao, standing nearby, said, "We found them. But Brother-in-law, the treasures in the Witch Race's vault are already enough for all of you to attain the Dao as Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortals."
"So there's no need for us to seize the Demon Race's treasures. The most urgent matter now is for you to attain the Dao as Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortals as quickly as possible. That way, when the great battle with the Demon Race begins, we can crush them completely."
"I'll first pass on the method for attaining the Dao as a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal. Then move the treasures from the vault into Pangu Hall. As long as you make your breakthroughs inside Pangu Hall, the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun won't discover you."
Immediately afterward, Ling Wudao waved his hand, and a ball of light entered Di Jiang's sea of consciousness. "This is the method of attaining the Dao. Brother-in-law, you can gather them in Pangu Hall to enter seclusion now."
Upon hearing this, Di Jiang immediately sent voice transmissions to the other Ancestral Witches. Before long, the rest of them arrived at Pangu Hall one after another.
When the Ancestral Witches entered, they saw that Ling Wudao and the others had already come out of the treasure vault. Zhu Jiuyin said, "It seems you've already found the treasures you wanted."
"But you were in there for far too long. Don't tell me you were doing something unspeakable inside!"
At those words, Xuan Ming and Houtu could not help feeling a little guilty.
Seeing this, Ling Wudao immediately said to Zhu Jiuyin, "How could we possibly have been doing that? The main reason we stayed inside for a hundred years was because of this."
As he spoke, Ling Wudao took out the Chaos Pearl.
Seeing the pearl in Ling Wudao's hand, Zhu Jiuyin immediately wore a puzzled expression.
"Isn't this just an ordinary pearl? Don't tell me you spent more than a hundred years inside just to study it?"
"This is no ordinary pearl. This treasure is called the Chaos Pearl, a Chaos Treasure. We stayed inside for more than a hundred years to study it."
"Enough about that. You need to enter seclusion and break through to the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible. The treasures in your vault are enough to support your attainment of the Dao."
"As for how to attain the Dao, I've already told Brother-in-law Di Jiang. Just ask him. I'm going to try refining the Chaos Pearl now. Once I refine it, dealing with Hongjun will become much easier."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Wudao sat cross-legged on the ground and entered the System Space.
Meanwhile, the somewhat guilty Xuan Ming and Houtu spoke at the same time. "We'll go move the treasures from the vault over here."
With that, the two women left Pangu Hall without looking back.
After the two women left, Zhu Rong asked, "Big Brother, how are we supposed to attain the Dao as Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortals?"
Hearing Zhu Rong's question, Di Jiang slowly said, "I haven't had time to look through it yet. Wait a moment. Once I finish reviewing the information Wudao gave me, I'll share it with you."
Then Di Jiang closed his eyes and began examining the information Ling Wudao had passed on to him.
At the same time, in a patch of grass atop Kunlun Mountain, Taiqing was suffering from nonstop diarrhea. Squatting in the grass, he looked as if he were enjoying himself immensely.
Damn it, what has been going on these past hundred years? Every time I take a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, this happens. Could there be something wrong with the pills?
But that shouldn't be possible! Nine Revolutions Golden Pills couldn't expire. Unless someone had tampered with the pills.
Thinking of that possibility, Taiqing immediately pulled up his pants and sent a voice transmission to Yuanshi.
Inside Jade Void Palace, upon receiving Taiqing's voice transmission, Yuanshi immediately flashed over to Taiqing's side.
But the moment Yuanshi arrived, he smelled an extremely foul stench.
"Big Brother, you again...!"
"Second Brother, what has happened to me over these hundred years isn't my own problem. Someone tampered with the golden pills."
"That damned thief is too sinister. He actually resorted to such despicable methods."
Just as Taiqing finished speaking, his stomach rumbled. "Mm~"
"I feel it again. No, it's coming again."
As soon as he said that, Taiqing ran into another patch of grass and squatted down.
"Splat, splat!"
A stream of foul spiritual excrement came out of his body. "Mm~ So comfortable!"
When Taiqing's spiritual excrement fell onto the plants, the grass and trees on the ground instantly absorbed it.
Before long, the plants that had absorbed Taiqing's spiritual excrement instantly transformed into spirits.
Such things had been happening continuously over the past hundred years. It couldn't be helped; a Saint's spiritual excrement was an immense tonic to ordinary grass.
After all, Taiqing had consumed Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. Naturally, the spiritual excrement he produced could not be ordinary either. Once those plants absorbed it, they naturally transformed into spirits.
