No one had expected the battle between the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches to end this way.
Strictly speaking, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones shared the same origin. One group had formed from Pangu's primordial spirit, while the other had formed from the essence blood within his heart.
In essence, they were all one family.
Yet no one had expected the Three Pure Ones to stoop so low in this family feud that they would attack ordinary members of the Witch Clan.
What did that amount to?
It was like two brothers fighting, with the eldest unable to beat the second.
Fine, then he would attack his nephew!
Such shameless behavior was exceedingly rare, not just in the Primordial World, but even in modern society.
"Splendid. Truly splendid!"
Daochen swept his sleeve, and the Jade Table before him vanished. He raised his head and fixed the Three Pure Ones with a piercing gaze.
His meaning was obvious: the Three Pure Ones truly had no shame!
The adults were fighting, yet they attacked the children. How did they still have the nerve to call themselves Pangu's rightful heirs?
Weren't they afraid Pangu would be so furious that he would come back to life and slap them dead?
"Your lofty deeds today have earned my admiration, senior brothers. My deepest admiration!"
Although Nüwa disliked the Twelve Ancestral Witches too, they would never attack ordinary members of the Demon Race.
By attacking ordinary members of the Witch Clan today, the Three Pure Ones had certainly done Dao Ancestor Hongjun proud!
And they called themselves his personal disciples.
They had simply made themselves a laughingstock!
The other mighty figures of the Primordial World said nothing, but their expressions spoke volumes.
The Three Pure Ones had certainly done Pangu proud today!
"Hmph, a pack of ignorant fools. Once I attain Primordial Unity, I'll make you pay!"
Yuanshi snorted coldly.
"Let's go!"
Laozi, on the other hand, said little.
Compared with Yuanshi, Laozi still cared somewhat about saving face.
After doing something so disgraceful, he naturally had no desire to linger at Mount Buzhou.
"Very well."
Tongtian nodded slightly at Laozi's words. But just as the Three Pure Ones were about to set foot on Mount Buzhou-
A pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky from within the mountain. A phantom gourd vine that blotted out the heavens and the sun faintly appeared in the air, while vast quantities of xiantian spiritual energy gathered into an immense vortex.
The disturbance was clearly visible throughout the Primordial World.
The phantom gourd vine grew ever clearer. Seven gourds shining with boundless divine radiance could faintly be seen taking shape, as a terrifying surge of power brewed.
"It has emerged!"
As Laozi gazed at the Xiantian Gourd Vine within Mount Buzhou, its aura surging into the heavens, a flicker of joy suddenly appeared on his aged face.
He had thought someone had beaten him to this opportunity and that he would miss it.
Who would have thought its emergence would cause such an enormous disturbance?
"Hurry!"
Yuanshi's heart blossomed with joy as well. Of the Three Pure Ones, he alone lacked a suitable spiritual treasure.
Now that this opportunity had emerged with such an enormous disturbance, it surely had to be extraordinary!
"Oh no!"
Near the canyon where the Xiantian Gourd Vine grew, Daochen's expression suddenly changed in alarm.
He had never expected that, even after using the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, the Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Chaos Bell-three of the finest spiritual treasures in the Primordial World-to conceal the Xiantian Gourd Vine's heavenly secrets, its emergence would still cause such a tremendous disturbance.
He immediately sprang into motion and rushed into the depths of the canyon.
Dijun also realized that things had gone terribly wrong and hurried after Daochen into the canyon's depths.
"Suppress it!"
Deep within the canyon, Eastern Emperor Taiyi held the Chaos Bell, sending out boundless waves of bell resonance. Yet the instant each wave approached the Xiantian Gourd Vine, an invisible barrier deflected it.
He could not breach the barrier at all, much less seal away the disturbance caused by the Xiantian Gourd Vine's emergence.
"Elder brother, what should we do?"
Anxiety flashed through Dijiang's eyes. With such an enormous disturbance, not only would those fated to encounter the Xiantian Gourd Vine arrive, but even the mighty figures who had gathered at the foot of Mount Buzhou to watch the spectacle would try to get involved.
After all, not everyone was like Daochen, Dijun, or the Three Pure Ones, with at least one Xiantian Spiritual Treasure in hand.
Many mighty figures of the Primordial World did not even possess such a spiritual treasure, having only an acquired spiritual treasure they had refined themselves.
If opportunities truly littered the Primordial World and spiritual treasures were piled in mountains, as certain novels claimed-
Would those mighty figures have gone so mad when Hongjun distributed treasures at the Treasure-Splitting Cliff?
The birth of every Xiantian Spiritual Treasure was bound to the Heavenly Dao's ordained fate.
Until the appointed moment of its emergence, one could scour the entire Primordial World and still never find it!
Dijun had barely finished speaking.
Hum!
Streak after streak of light swiftly arrived.
Their auras shook heaven and earth, with the strongest at the late Great Luo Golden Immortal stage and the weakest at the early stage.
Dozens of figures descended.
That meant dozens of mighty figures had arrived!
"Hmph!"
Seeing these mighty figures of the Primordial World arrive, Daochen snorted coldly.
"Halt!"
Boom!
As Daochen's words fell, an incomparably powerful aura erupted. Endless Golden Crow Divine Flame sealed off the canyon.
The mighty figures rushing over were forced to remain outside.
Each stood a hundred thousand li away, not daring to approach the Golden Crow Divine Flame in the slightest.
Nüwa!
Fuxi!
The Three Pure Ones!
Jieyin and Zhunti!
All these mighty figures of the Primordial World were present, along with many others.
Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who had just been defeated, had come!
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had not come to seize the Xiantian Gourd Vine, but to watch the show.
Even if they seized it, they would not be able to use it.
They had no primordial spirits, so they could not wield Xiantian Spiritual Treasures against their enemies.
Even if the Chaos Bell fell into their hands, they could only use it as a brick!
Daochen's expression did not change in the slightest as these people arrived. Sitting cross-legged in the air, he quietly regarded the many mighty figures of the Primordial World.
"My two brothers and I discovered this treasure first. It already has owners. Everyone, please leave!"
As for whether the Xiantian Gourd Vine was fated for the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, Hongyun, or anyone else-
What the hell did that have to do with Daochen?
He had found it first, so it belonged to him!
The Three Pure Ones and their ilk wanted a share of the spoils?
Sorry, they weren't worthy!
At Daochen's words, the eyelids of every mighty figure present twitched wildly.
The expressions of the five who were fated to encounter the Gourd Vine-the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and Hongyun-changed in particular.
They had never expected Daochen to be the one who had obscured their perception earlier!
Seeing Daochen seal off the canyon, clearly determined not to let anyone through, quite a few of the mighty figures began considering retreat.
But when they looked at the seven gourds radiating terrifying auras from the Xiantian Gourd Vine within the canyon, their pupils constricted.
Then boundless greed rose in their hearts!
Seven Supreme Xiantian Spiritual Treasures!
The last one might even be a Xiantian Supreme Treasure!
If the gourds it bore were treasures of such rank, what sort of existence was the Gourd Vine itself?
Spiritual treasures of this caliber were enough to dispel most of their fear of Daochen.
People died for wealth, just as birds perished for food!
That saying held true everywhere!
