He Found Another One!
"Brat! If I don't get rid of you, you'll remain lodged in my throat like a fishbone, robbing me of sleep and appetite. In time, you might even become my heart demon!"
Demon God Qijing's face was cold and dark, his expression sinister as he roared, boundless hatred written across his face.
So, to get his revenge, Demon God Qijing sent many beings of the Demon Race into the Primordial World to search for Lin Yunji.
Lin Yunji knew nothing of this.
At that very moment, he was still traveling through the Primordial Wilderness with Nüwa!
The Demon Race had sworn to rise, and its momentum could no longer be stopped.
But the Primordial World ultimately required balance. All things gave rise to and restrained one another; as one waned, another waxed, each rising and falling in its own time. Such was the Heavenly Dao.
Thus, as the Demon Race rose, another race began to show its edge, standing against it as an equal!
It was the Witch Clan.
Witch Clan cultivators primarily cultivated their physical bodies and possessed innate divine strength. Their leaders were the Twelve Ancestral Witches. All were mighty experts with powerful Divine Abilities, each commanding order and combat power.
After all, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers.
In the Unseen, things had their appointed course.
As the two races developed rapidly, friction between the Witches and Demons never ceased. They often found each other displeasing, and it was only normal for them to come to blows.
Throughout the vast Primordial World, the countless beings had long grown accustomed to fights between the Witch Clan and Demon Race.
Moreover, the situation had grown increasingly fierce, and many fights ended only when one side was dead.
Their hostility seemed to grow ever greater. Though it could be called a struggle between races, it was more as if heaven had willed it so. Each race regarded the other as heaven and earth, and falling into conflict was merely the fate written for them in the Heavenly Dao!
On this day!
A cloud suddenly drifted over a mountain range in the north of the Primordial Wilderness.
Lin Yunji and Lady Nüwa stood upon it, hands clasped as they gazed into the distance. Standing side by side, they looked like a couple of immortals.
"Rumble!"
A tremendous crash was followed by a continuous series of booming reports.
The sudden upheaval in heaven and earth shattered the beautiful scene.
Lady Nüwa's delicate brows rose, and anger showed on her face. Her discontent was beyond words. It was so rare to have a moment of peace, and now it's been broken! How utterly hateful!
Lin Yunji, standing beside her, had already spread his Divine Sense into the distance when the rumbling began. It covered millions of li, and before long, he found the source of the sound.
"How interesting. There are beings fighting several hundred li to the west of us. I took a closer look and found that they're Witches and Demons."
As though he had seen something interesting, Lin Yunji said to Nüwa with an intrigued look, "Why don't we go take a look?"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he took flight and sped into the distance.
Seeing this, Lady Nüwa could only follow close behind.
"Boom!"
The closer they got, the louder the rumbling became, until it was almost deafening.
In mere moments, they landed on a nearby mountain peak.
Looking closely, they saw that the battle between the two races in the area below seemed to have reached a fever pitch. Law Treasures clashed, Law Power flowed in unbroken streams, and spells flew through the air in an exceptionally heated fight.
Their hatred seemed engraved in their very marrow, and they would not rest until the other side was dead.
Moreover, the two sides were almost evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand for the moment. Clearly, they had been fighting for a long time without a victor emerging!
But what truly caught Lin Yunji and Nüwa's attention was something else.
Their gazes passed over the battle between the two races and fell on a depression atop the mountain opposite them.
A pool of water had gathered there.
Unlike an ordinary clear spring, the pool was divided into three parts. Three distinct colors came together in the same pool: gold, silver, and purple.
It looked profoundly mysterious.
"What wondrous thing is this? How marvelous!" Lady Nüwa asked Lin Yunji in surprise, her gaze fixed on it.
"That is the Three-Colored Divine Spring!" Lin Yunji replied, his eyes likewise fixed on it.
"Little Jade Bamboo, you actually know what it is!"
Lin Yunji immediately broke into a smile. After all, it was rare for him to have a chance to show what he knew in front of Lady Nüwa. He explained, "Master told me before that a spring would arise between heaven and earth. It can cure all illnesses, put flesh on bare bones, bring souls to life, and nurture spirits!"
"It's that mysterious!" Hearing that Cult Master Tongtian had said it, Lady Nüwa had no doubts. She was simply astonished that the spring water was so wondrous.
They also realized that the two races were most likely fighting here over the Three-Colored Divine Spring.
However, Lady Nüwa did not notice that Lin Yunji had been staring not at the Three-Colored Divine Spring, but at a cluster of luminous mist in its direction.
Dao resonance swirled there, and its light was dazzling.
Within it was a diamond-shaped fragment he knew all too well!
A Heavenly Scar Fragment had actually appeared in the Three-Colored Divine Spring!
Lin Yunji's heart stirred. No wonder he had been so curious about the conflict between the two races just now. Given his usual disposition, he would not have made the trip.
Presumably, there had been guidance in the Unseen.
It had kept him from passing this Heavenly Scar Fragment by.
Only... Lin Yunji could not help turning his gaze toward Nüwa.
Could Nüwa actually be my lucky star made flesh!? Lin Yunji could not help pondering.
Previously, when he saw Lady Nüwa in the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall, he had obtained a Heavenly Scar Fragment right above his head.
This time, he had been traveling through the Primordial Wilderness with Nüwa when they chanced upon the two races fighting. Guided by an impulse, he had discovered another Heavenly Scar Fragment!
Adding the one in the ancient formation beside the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall that he had yet to obtain, he had already found three while with Nüwa!
Three!
How much effort had he spent finding just one before this!
Yet with Nüwa, as many as three had appeared!
Lin Yunji looked down again. By now, the two races were red-eyed with slaughter. Clearly, this was not a good time to collect the Heavenly Scar Fragment, so he suppressed his excitement and teased Lady Nüwa. "Lady Nüwa, as a member of the Demon Race, aren't you going to step in?"
"I'm not helping them!" Lady Nüwa said irritably.
The thought that the two races had disturbed their peaceful time with their fighting made Nüwa angry!
Step in and help them?
Heh!
They were already incredibly fortunate that she didn't step in and kill them, all right?!
