Chapter 1769

"Forget it, everyone, start cultivating first. Once you've attained enlightenment, you'll understand what's going on."

Zhu Jiuyin exclaimed in surprise: "Can you cultivate without understanding the profound mystery of the technique?"

Hou Tu nodded: "Indeed."

Gong Gong shouted: "If that's the case, why go through all this trouble?"

Zhu Rong, unusually, did not oppose—instead, he agreed: "Exactly!"

Hou Tu fell silent, transmitted the technique to everyone, then extracted one drop of essence blood.

"Who's next?"

Zhu Rong blinked in surprise: "Aren't we cultivating together?"

"If we do it together, everyone must extract eleven drops of essence blood at once. I've already attained Hunyuan, so it's no problem for me," Hou Tu gazed at them all. "But can you withstand it?"

Gong Gong said: "With Hou Tu sister here and the Pangu Hall, none of us will weaken. Why not do it together?"

Everyone was swayed.

The Zu Wu clan were the most impulsive.

How could they bear to sit idle and wait while the Hunyuan Dao Fruit lay untouched?

Though the waiting time probably wouldn't be long.

"Alright," Zhu Jiuyin nodded. "When the time comes, Hou Tu sister, you'll guard us."

Hou Tu smiled: "Isn't that only natural?"

Saying this, she extracted ten more drops of essence blood and distributed them one by one.

Everyone copied her, extracting eleven drops of essence blood each and exchanging them.

Extracting eleven drops of essence blood—even with their famed physical strength, every Zu Wu turned pale as if suffering from consumption.

Everyone found a spot, sat cross-legged, and began fusing the essence blood.

Hou Tu activated her thought, spent her points, and drew the power of the Universe Tower to envelop the eleven of them.

Time passed.

Only one year passed in the outside world, but one eon passed under the Universe Tower.

The eleven Zu Wu, once pale and sickly, now radiated vigor, their aura stronger than ever.

Suddenly, all of them shuddered, and above their heads appeared the Pangu Dao Fruit; their bodies rang like divine iron struck.

At that moment, all eleven Zu Wu became Hunyuan experts.

"We've attained enlightenment!"

"I feel the heavens and earth have suddenly become clear. All past events now seem like dreams," Zhu Rong's eyes were lucid, no longer the restless man he once was. "My former self had a character worse than an ordinary person."

Gong Gong nodded: "Same here. With such a temperament, it's strange we weren't schemed to death."

Hou Tu gazed at them all and bowed with a smile: "Congratulations, elder brothers and Sister Xuanming—you've all attained Hunyuan."

Xuanming laughed sweetly: "This is all thanks to Hou Tu sister's extraordinary fortune. Otherwise, how could we, as Zu Wu, escape our original fate?"

Zhu Jiuyin nodded: "Indeed. Hou Tu sister, what should we do next?"

Zhu Rong pondered: "We certainly can't storm Purple Cloud Palace. Hong Jun has long attained enlightenment—perhaps he's already surpassed Hunyuan. If we attack, we won't win."

Gong Gong nodded: "That's true. If he has the confidence to scheme against the Honghuang, his strength must not be weak."

Everyone nodded, a sense of worry rising in their hearts.

Xuanming pondered: "Hou Tu sister could ask the chat group—if the Dao Jun offers strategy, it would save us so much trouble."

Zhu Jiuyin's eyes lit up: "Xuanming sister is right. If the Dao Jun gives us ideas, we can repay him. The Honghuang may lack many things, but primordial spiritual treasures are plentiful."

Even they had collected quite a few.

The Wu clan couldn't use primordial spiritual treasures, but their taste was excellent.

Whenever they encountered a spiritual treasure, they usually collected it, never leaving it out for enemies to claim.

Hou Tu laughed: "I'll ask. As for primordial spiritual treasures, I doubt the Dao Lord even needs them—he can forge even Chaotic Supreme Treasures himself."

Zhu Jiuyin shook his head: "That's different. Whether he wants them or not, we must offer them—we can't be rude. Zhu Rong, go fetch all the spiritual treasures. Don't hide any. The Dao Jun helped us attain Hunyuan; don't keep those treasures secret."

Zhu Rong nodded: "Alright, I'll go now."

"That's good," Hou Tu nodded. "I'll go speak with the Dao Jun."

Chat group.

Hou Tu: "@Zhang Taixuan, are you free? My Zu Wu have all attained sainthood—what should we do next?"

Su Xiao: "Attained sainthood? So fast?"

Xiao Yan: "That speed is terrifying!"

Xiaomai: "Why can't we do that?"

Zhang Taixuan: "The Zu Wu attained sainthood by condensing the Pangu Dao Fruit from their Pangu bloodline. If you want, you can buy the essence blood of the Twelve Zu Wu and attain Hunyuan—speed is very fast. But… dare you?"

·········Flowers wanted·········

Su Xiao: "Condensing the Pangu Dao Fruit—isn't that dangerous?"

Zhang Taixuan: "For you, yes, it's dangerous. For Hou Tu and the others, they had no choice. Unless they sever their Pangu origin, they'll be influenced by Pangu no matter which path they take."

Zhang Taixuan: "But if they truly sever the Pangu origin, reaching the Jun Saint realm again could take an unimaginable time. In the Honghuang, being unable to attain Jun Saint for so long is far more dangerous than condensing the Pangu Dao Fruit."

Xiaomai: "This is clearly a path only the Zu Wu can take. We shouldn't even think about it—let's progress slowly. If we had no choice, condensing the Pangu Dao Fruit might be acceptable. But if we have a choice, I'd rather cultivate slowly."

Ye Hei: "Same. Hunyuan is good, but we must avoid hidden dangers."

Hou Tu: "Shouldn't Father Pangu never harm us?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Probably not. We're just discussing potential dangers. Every cultivator avoids leaving uncertain things inside themselves!"

Hou Tu: "Indeed. 【Red Packet】 Dao Jun, these are the primordial spiritual treasures we've collected over the years—please offer your guidance."

Zhang Taixuan: "How generous. There are over three hundred primordial spiritual treasures here!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "I'm so jealous—did you guys rob the entire Primordial Realm? How do you have so many good treasures?"

Houtu: "How could that be? Are our Ancestral Witches that kind of people? The Primordial Realm is vast; even though we haven't really gone out much, we've still collected quite a few spirit treasures."

Zhou Qing: "It seems Lady Houtu's world is even bigger than the Primordial Realm on my side. There are just too many spirit treasures here."

Zhang Taixuan: "That is a top-tier world—it's even just a hair's breadth away from becoming an Eternal World."

Xiaomai: "Terrifying beyond compare!"

Xiao Yan'er: "+1"

Ying Zheng: "……"

"……"

Zhang Taixuan: "Alright, it's time to discuss the subsequent plans. Although you've now attained the Dao of Primordial Chaos, your strength is still weak—you're not suited for a head-on clash."

Su Xiaoxiao: "So, we should lie low and cultivate, until we're able to counterattack the Purple Firmament Palace?"

Zhang Taixuan: "That would be the stupidest plan!" Ren.
