The Three Thousand Principles Shift in the Palm of His Hand!

At that moment, on an unnamed mountain range somewhere in the Primordial Wilderness...

"Little friend Lin Yunji, why don't you come back to the Witch Clan with me now? Our doors will be thrown wide open, and you will be most welcome!"

Ancestral Witch Houtu smiled at Lin Yunji. Gentle in manner, she looked rather like the big sister next door as she invited Lin Yunji to visit her clan, sounding exceedingly warm and friendly!

"Thank you for your kind offer, Ancestral Witch Houtu, but I think I'll pass for now..." Lin Yunji was already somewhat taken aback by the invitation. He shook his head awkwardly and declined.

"What a pity!"

Although Ancestral Witch Houtu had guessed Lin Yunji's answer before she asked, she could not help feeling somewhat disappointed when she actually heard him refuse.

She did not press him. Instead, she smiled and said, "In that case, I'll take my people back to the tribe first. After all, the Witch Clan and the Demon Race have often clashed recently, and I need to return and hold the fort for my clan!"

"If you have the chance in the future, little friend Lin Yunji, would you do us the honor of visiting our clan?"

"I certainly would!" Lin Ji nodded in reply.

After exchanging a few more words with the two of them, Ancestral Witch Houtu left with the Witch Clan warriors.

For the moment, only Lin Yunji and Lady Nüwa remained there.

"I never would have thought it, Little Jade Bamboo! A beauty invited you just now, and you didn't even go with him to have a look at the Witch Clan?"

Once Ancestral Witch Houtu and the Witch Clan warriors had vanished over the horizon, with not a trace of them in sight, Lady Nüwa turned to look at Lin Yunji and smiled faintly.

But her words made Lin Yunji's heart tighten.

Then Lin Yunji smiled as well. Looking at Lady Nüwa, he teased, "A beauty? Don't I have one right beside me?"

Lin Yunji looked at Lady Nüwa with a puzzled expression, though his eyes and brows were full of laughter.

"Hee hee hee hee!" Lady Nüwa could not help laughing at Lin Yunji's reply. "You and that silver tongue of yours!"

She shot Lin Yunji a reproachful glance and let out a pleasant chuckle, as lovely as a clear spring tinkling through a secluded valley.

Though she said that, the curve of her lips only deepened.

Clearly, she was delighted by Lin Yunji's compliment and found it very pleasing.

"Little Jade Bamboo, you... you broke through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and comprehended a Power of Principle at the same time. Can you tell me which Principle you comprehended? How could it give off such a radiance?"

Recalling her earlier discussion with Ancestral Witch Houtu, Lady Nüwa looked at Lin Yunji and asked in puzzlement.

She was intensely curious and wanted an answer from Lin Yunji at once!

She truly had never seen such a Power of Principle before.

Rumble!

Lin Yunji said nothing. Instead, he opened his hand and extended two fingers. With a slight turn of his thoughts, wisps of mist suddenly began to dance on his fingertips, even distorting the air around them.

Just like the lightning that had shot through the void and into the clouds when he had broken through his realm.

A terrifying pressure quietly spread.

"It's the Lightning Principle!" Seeing the wisps of mist and electric light dancing between Lin Yunji's fingers, Lady Nüwa raised her brows and asked in puzzlement, "How is that possible? Shouldn't the Lightning Principle's power be purple-gold?"

As soon as Lady Nüwa finished speaking, the misty lightning dancing on Lin Yunji's fingertips suddenly trembled and transformed into a ball of golden light that enveloped his palm.

The golden light was so dazzling that Lady Nüwa could not help narrowing her eyes.

"This... this is the Metal Principle of the Five Elements Principle!" Lady Nüwa was astonished beyond measure.

Before she had finished speaking, Lin Yunji's thoughts turned again, and the golden light dancing on her fingertips transformed into a ball of green light.

Unlike the golden light from before, the green light gave off a rich breath of life. It teemed with vitality, as though it contained countless lives, mysterious and unfathomable.

At that moment, Lady Nüwa was even more astonished!

The Power of Principle Lin Yunji was now displaying on his palm was identical to the power of the Principle he had comprehended upon reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal realm. It was none other than Creation's Power of Principle!

But before Lady Nüwa could express her astonishment, she saw the green light on Lin Yunji's fingertips suddenly change again, becoming a pitch-black cloud.

The dark cloud enveloped his palm, giving off a terrifying, greedy presence, as though it meant to devour everything!

Lady Nüwa's eyes widened.

Yes!

She recognized it again!

It was the power of the Destruction Principle!

Then Lin Yunji went on to display the Time Principle, the Space Principle, the Light Principle... each in turn.

Lady Nüwa watched as the Power of Principle on Lin Yunji's fingertips continued to change.

After an unknown amount of time, the three thousand Powers of Principle had completed a full cycle on Lin Yunji's fingertips.

Hiss!

Even with Lady Nüwa's breadth of knowledge, she was truly shaken by him.

She could not help sucking in a breath of cold air. Staring at Lin Yunji, she found herself at a loss for words!

It was a long time before he found his voice. His red lips trembling, he said softly, "The... the powers of the three thousand Principles?"

Lady Nüwa could not recover her senses for some time, remaining in a daze for a long while.

But then she heard Lin Yunji say calmly, "That's right. It's just as you think!"

He was as composed as if he were discussing where to go for a stroll with Lady Nüwa, but his words sounded quite different to her ears.

"When I broke through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm this time, the Three Flowers Gathered at the Crown, and I comprehended Principles. The Powers of Principle I gained through my sudden enlightenment were precisely those of the three thousand Principles." To confirm Lady Nüwa's guess, Lin Yunji kindly repeated himself.

"This... how is this possible? Could I still be dreaming?"

No one would have believed those words immediately upon hearing them, yet Lady Nüwa had just witnessed Lin Yunji transform all three thousand Principles upon his palm with her own eyes!

She had no choice but to believe it!

"Whew!"

She let out a heavy breath, as though only by doing so could she steady herself and force down the trembling in her heart.

Lady Nüwa's beautiful eyes shimmered as she gazed fixedly at Lin Yunji. After a long while, she said, "Little Jade Bamboo, this is the power of the three thousand Principles! No living being between heaven and earth could ever do such a thing. It has truly never been seen since time immemorial!"

Hearing Lady Nüwa say this, Lin Yunji grinned and burst out laughing. "Hahahaha, well, there's nothing to be done about that. I told you I was a genius, Lady Nüwa. Do you believe me this time?"

Before this, Lady Nüwa would certainly have shot him a reproachful look and accused him of boasting.

But now she had to admit that Lin Yunji truly was a genius, a peerless genius.

So Lady Nüwa nodded in agreement with utter seriousness. "I believe you, Little Jade Bamboo. Cultivation and power are merely a matter of time for you! In my view, even something as difficult as breaking through realms is only a matter of time for you!"

"I even believe that before long, you will surely attain the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, become a Sage on the spot, and achieve the position of a Sage!"

"No, that won't do!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Lady Nüwa's words, Lin Yunji shook his head like a rattle drum.

"I don't want to break through to that whatnot Sage realm so soon!"

For a moment, Lady Nüwa was too speechless to respond.

That was the supreme realm of a Sage, whose lifespan equaled that of heaven and earth, whose radiance matched the sun and moon!

It was the lifelong pursuit of countless billions of living beings in the Primordial World.

Yet Lin Yunji had simply come right out and said he did not want to break through! He did not want to attain the exalted status of a Sage?

Seeing the shock in Lady Nüwa's eyes gradually give way to puzzlement, Lin Yuji hurriedly changed the subject.

"Lady Nüwa, I've just broken through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, and there are still many things I don't understand. I've found a lead and need to deal with it immediately. Could you stand guard for me? Sorry for the trouble."

"Of course!" How could Lady Nüwa refuse? She agreed with a nod and had Lin Yunji sit down cross-legged. Then she sat opposite him and slowly closed her eyes.

After sitting down, Lin Yunji immediately calmed his mind. When he had broken through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm earlier, he had discovered many changes in both his body and his system's attribute panel. With so many people present just now, he had not had the chance to look, so this was the perfect opportunity to examine them carefully while Lady Nüwa stood guard.

At that very moment!

In Demon God Qijing's palace in the Demon Race's Heavenly Court.

Demon God Qijing sat upright on the throne in his great hall. The throne looked to be made of neither gold nor jade and was evidently a rare treasure.

In the hall directly below the throne, a black bear demon lay prostrate on the ground with utmost respect, reporting something to him.

"Are you certain?"
