Chapter 670: Unlucky Three Pure Ones
Chat Group.
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "I'm so envious my scalp is tingling. Ancestral Blood of the Ancestral Witch, this is truly a great stroke of fortune."
Through the live stream, Ye Fan and the other group members all saw what was happening in Honghuang?
Who would have thought that a group of Ancestral Witches would actually be conquered by Xiao Shi's culinary skills.
But to be fair, Xiao Shi's barbecue skills are indeed formidable; few among those present can compare.
Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "A single drop of Ancestral Blood of the Ancestral Witch and you take off instantly; why even bother being a Heavenly Emperor."
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Indeed!"
Girl Ruthless: "..."
Demon Queen: "Damn, this luck."
Playboy: "I have a question, can the Ancestral Blood of the Ancestral Witch be replicated? If it could be replicated? Hehehe."
Diviner: "Heh, it can be replicated; it's not like the Ancestral Blood of the Ancestral Witch isn't in the mall, even Pangu Essence Blood is there. It's just that with your technology, it's impossible to replicate. Furthermore, the reason the Ancestral Blood of the Ancestral Witch is precious is because of the inheritance and Laws within the blood."
Perhaps the blood can be replicated, but the Great Dao Laws within it are something technology currently cannot replace.
Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "That makes sense."
Playboy: "Alright, I was just thinking about it."
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "So, Shi Laoliu. What are your thoughts? Will you accept the Ancestral Blood of the Ancestral Witch?"
Zui Ai He Shounai: "Barbecue is just my hobby, and I don't want to spend my whole life cooking for the Ancestral Witches just for their Ancestral Blood. Although the Ancestral Blood of the Ancestral Witch is of immense value and could be considered a step toward ascending to the heavens, even surpassing my former self.
However, the Great Dao is endless, and I believe my future self can continuously surpass the present. Immortal Emperor is not the end, Sacrificial Dao is not the end, and what lies beyond Sacrificial Dao is not the end either."
Girl Ruthless: "Ye Fan, you saw it, didn't you."
Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Little Sister Ruthless..., this, this, this..."
Ye Fan felt awkward; he hadn't expected Shi Laoliu's vision to be so grand.
Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Admirable, truly admirable."
Ancestral Witch Houtu: "Not bad."
Zui Ai He Shounai: "Hehehe."
Honghuang.
Regarding the recruitment by the Ancestral Witches, Xiao Shi still refused, though of course, he would continue to make barbecue for the Ancestral Witches before leaving.
The Ancestral Witches also wanted to do it themselves, especially Ancestral Witch Zhurong, who directly burned down a large mountain range with fire; although many fierce beasts were burned to death, the taste of the roasted meat was far inferior to Xiao Shi's.
Simply put, theirs could only satisfy the most basic cravings of the palate, while what Xiao Shi made could touch the soul.
Buzhou Mountain, a cave dwelling with abundant spiritual energy, like a paradise on earth.
This was the cave dwelling of the siblings Fuxi and Nuwa. After leaving the territory of the Ancestral Witches, the two siblings returned to their dwelling; they were afraid that if they stayed too long, the famished Ancestral Witches might "mistakenly eat" them.
And the first thing they did upon returning to the cave was to cultivate and break through to the true Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, condensing a unique Daluo Dao Fruit.
As an Innate Sacred, Fuxi grasped the Yin/Yang Law at birth, and his attainment in these two Laws was extremely profound, making him a unique existence throughout all of Honghuang.
As an Innate Sacred, Nuwa, like Fuxi, was born with her own Law: the Creation Law.
The Creation Law is also one of the extensions of the Creation Great Dao, belonging to one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and is extremely profound.
After discussing the Dao with Xuanzang, the two siblings had already understood how to condense the Daluo Dao Fruit.
Among the methods of breaking through, they also chose to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage via Laws; this was the fastest and most secure way.
After all, among the Three Thousand Great Daos, every single one can be used to verify the Primordial.
Fuxi used the Yin/Yang Law as a foundation to condense the Daluo Dao Fruit.
Nuwa used the Creation Law as a foundation to condense the Daluo Dao Fruit.
Time passed leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, three years had gone by.
Boom!
On this day.
A burst of intense golden light erupted simultaneously from Fuxi and Nuwa. Above their heads, a mysterious Daluo Dao Fruit bloomed in the shape of a lotus flower, its seven-colored light dazzling, like a flower of the Great Dao.
"It is done."
Joy appeared in Fuxi's eyes, an excitement he could not conceal.
"Indeed, Brother. We have become true Great Luo Golden Immortals," Nuwa said happily.
With this breakthrough, their strength had not actually increased by much, but it was fundamentally different from before.
Previously, they possessed Great Luo-level magic power but lacked a Great Luo Dao Fruit; although powerful, they always felt something was missing, as if something of vital importance was absent.
That was, the Dao!
For any living being, if one only focuses on increasing magic power without cultivating the Dao, then no matter how high the magic power is, it is meaningless, because sooner or later, this magic power will dissipate into nothingness.
But now that they possessed the Daluo Dao Fruit, they had initially acquired their own Dao.
Even if their bodies died and their Dao vanished, as long as they had this Daluo Dao Fruit, sooner or later they would find their true selves and return from the endless space-time.
Furthermore, as they continued to contemplate, the Daluo Dao Fruit would slowly derive many mysterious powers; the end of this power is omniscience and omnipotence.
Therefore, looking across the heavens and earth, looking across the myriad worlds, every Great Luo practitioner is a unique existence.
Nuwa, having broken through in cultivation, was very happy and wanted to go to the Ancestral Witch territory to find Xuanzang and Houtu.
Fuxi, however, shook his head and said:
"Do not go; they are no longer there."
This was one of the abilities Fuxi gained after condensing the Daluo Dao Fruit; through the Yin/Yang Law, he had mastered the extended Eight Trigrams Law.
The Eight Trigrams Law possesses the power of deduction, which can calculate the fate of all things in heaven and earth, know the past, understand the future, and comprehend Karma.
At the same time, the Eight Trigrams Law also encompasses the power of the Five Elements of heaven and earth, and can control metal, wood, water, fire, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
Nuwa was slightly stunned, then immediately understood. She possessed the Creation Law, so naturally, she also had the power of deduction.
"Brother, do you know where they went?" Nuwa asked.
"If my guess is correct, Fellow Daoist Xuanzang, Fellow Daoist Houtu, and the others should have headed toward Western Mount Xumi. Calculating the time, the Demon Ancestor Luohou and the Daoist Hongjun from three thousand years ago are about to begin their decisive battle. They must have gone to watch the Dao-Demon Struggle," Fuxi said.
"Then let's go too, Brother?" Nuwa said hurriedly.
Fuxi's expression was solemn as he said, "Sister, the Dao-Demon Struggle is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Our strength is far too inferior to Fellow Daoists Xuanzang and Houtu. Moreover, with our strength as siblings, if we were to cross the Honghuang land, what would we do if we encountered ancient great terrors? Your brother here cannot defeat them."
Hearing this, Nuwa puffed out her cute cheeks and said indignantly:
"Brother, tell me, who can you even defeat?"
Fuxi was looked down upon by his own sister; the expression on his face was awkward. He gave a dry cough and said with a straight face:
"Fighting isn't my strong suit, Brother, but if I calculate with my fingers, we have a future date to meet Fellow Daoist Xuanzang again. So, we just need to wait at Buzhou Mountain."
"How long do we have to wait?" Nuwa asked.
"About a thousand years or so," Fuxi said uncertainly.
"Hmph."
Nuwa was dissatisfied with this.
"Alright, Sister. Let us cultivate diligently; you wouldn't want to be this weak the next time you see Fellow Daoist Xuanzang, would you?" Fuxi said.
Nuwa gave Fuxi a Byakugan, then entered her own cave dwelling to begin cultivating.
As an Innate Sacred, possessing the creation of heaven and earth and naturally carrying Qi Luck, the speed of cultivation was also very fast.
Moreover, this was Buzhou Mountain, the center of the entire Honghuang land, containing the most concentrated Heavenly Dao Laws and power of heaven and earth!
……
Kunlun Mountain region.
In the sky, Xuanzang, Houtu, Wang Wu, and Xiao Shi were drifting on a cloud.
Looking at the vast world, with powerful auras appearing from time to time, the expressions of the few were varied.
Wang Wu couldn't help but complain: "We've been flying for three years now; when exactly will we arrive at Mount Xumi?"
Wang Wu had never wanted to land so badly; after leaving the Ancestral Witch territory, they had gone to Mount Xumi together.
But after traveling for three years, they hadn't even seen a shadow of Mount Xumi.
And this was with Xuanzang and Houtu carrying them.
At her own flight speed, she probably wouldn't have even covered one-tenth of the current distance.
"It is estimated there is still a seven or eight-year journey," Houtu said.
"Even if we are late, it doesn't matter. The decisive battle between the Demon Ancestor and the Dao Ancestor will not be decided for several thousand years," Xuanzang said.
"Damn, that long. My points won't last," Wang Wu said helplessly.
Although the Time-Space Crystal could travel across planes, there were limits to the time one could stay in a plane.
It started at a minimum of three days, and later, to cope with special situations, the Time-Space Crystal had been upgraded through many versions; as the price increased, the time one could stay also increased significantly.
Like the crystal Wang Wu had now, which allowed her to stay for several years, it had cost seven or eight thousand points; this was already almost the points of a single Team Mission.
However, in the Honghuang world, the group had not been without gains over these three years.
By picking some top-grade spirit herbs and Spirit Fruit, they had obtained quite a few points.
But the Chat Group was a profiteer; reselling spirit herbs of the same grade was not worth points.
That is to say, some spirit herbs could be sold for three thousand points the first time, but only one hundred or even less the second time.
So in the end, Wang Wu ate all the spirit herbs herself to improve her cultivation, combined with the Three Thousand Golden Core Method she had already perfected.
In three years, the results were greater than her three thousand years of cultivation.
According to Xuanzang's estimation, in these three years in Honghuang, Wang Wu's Three Thousand Golden Core Method had been cultivated to the extreme, and in terms of combat power, she could already rival a Golden Immortal, or perhaps even be slightly stronger.
This was mainly because Wang Wu's Three Thousand Golden Core Method was cultivated in an extremely brutal way, fitting the Honghuang cultivation system, and it only cared about devouring massive amounts of spiritual power; furthermore, it did not belong to any of the Three Thousand Great Daos, belonging instead to an external cultivation system outside the Heavenly Dao.
For Anlan and Xiao Shi, the cultivation improvement was conversely not as huge.
Because their Daos were all about "I am the only one supreme," cultivating their own techniques.
Once completely released, it was easy to be assimilated by the Honghuang system and "transform into Dao."
Unless they abandoned their original Dao and switched to cultivating the Honghuang system.
Letting Anlan and Xiao Shi give up was naturally impossible.
Even so, their realm and strength had improved slightly.
Anlan even felt that in another ten years, he could cultivate into an Immortal Emperor!
Xiao Shi did not cultivate magic power to improve his realm.
Instead, he used the power and Laws of the Honghuang heaven and earth to temper his own Flesh; although it was only three years, its strength was already no weaker than a Di Bing, and his entire body had reached the limit in the Human Dao Realm; it could be said he already possessed a Supreme Flesh.
This didn't count for much in Honghuang, but if he returned to Shi Guo or the Great Wilderness.
Relying solely on this Flesh, Xiao Shi could beat the gods of the Upper Realm into slag.
Of course, Xiao Shi had not stopped cultivating; in a few more years, his body would definitely be even more powerful.
"Sword Immortal Wang, as long as we find more spirit herbs and heavenly treasures, won't we have points?" Shi Hao said.
In three years, his cultivation had improved greatly. Sometimes Brother Xuanzang would even catch some weak Primordial Fierce Beasts for him to practice on, but even the weakest of these beasts were stronger than the giants, sect masters, and gods of the Upper Realm.
"That's true," Wang Wu nodded.
Boom!
Suddenly, a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering roar erupted from the mountain range below.
From all directions, hundreds and thousands of Primordial Fierce Beasts were rushing toward one direction; that terrifying aura directly caused the dark clouds to block the sun, with baleful energy soaring into the sky.
"What is going on, to cause such a huge commotion?" Wang Wu said.
"I feel a very terrifying aura," the silent Qing'er spoke up.
"Indeed, there is an aura here, not even weaker than an Ancestral Witch," Houtu said.
Regardless of the Saints, in the current timeline, the Ancestral Witches are already the ceiling.
Even the Dao Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor would not dare to take the Twelve Ancestral Witches head-on!
Although there is the Dao-Demon Struggle, if the Twelve Ancestral Witches intervened, they would not be able to fight at all.
Now that Houtu says there is an aura here not weaker than an Ancestral Witch, it is evident that a peerless, great, fierce beast is hidden in this place.
Beneath the mountain range, three figures are surrounded by tens of thousands of fierce beasts; they are struggling to maintain a protective barrier, their faces deathly pale.
These three are wearing roughly identical Taoist robes, divided into red, gray, and blue.
Their builds are also similar, but because the Taoist robes are too long, covering their lower bodies, overall, they are much like normal Taoists.
"Third Brother, look at the good deed you've done, actually provoking the fierce beast Hegemon Taotie!" the young Taoist in the red robe said.
"Second Brother, you are blaming me, but I did it for Eldest Brother."
The Taoist in the blue robe said; he holds a long sword, has sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and a lotus mark can be seen on the surface of the sword blade.
The Eldest Brother they speak of is a young man with the hair of a crane and the complexion of a child, possessing silver hair, but his facial features and skin are no different from a youth of seventeen or eighteen.
"Do not argue; the Sanqing are one body, this time is merely our tribulation," the silver-haired young man said.
These three young men are the cultivators of Kunlun Mountain, the Sanqing, who are also Innate Sacred, and have a close connection with the Ancestral Witches; it is rumored that they were formed from the Primordial Spirit of Pangu splitting into three.
Cultivating in recent years, the eldest, Taiqing, encountered a bottleneck while practicing, only one step away from stepping into a new world, but this step was too hazy, seemingly close at hand yet unreachable.
Vaguely, Taiqing felt as if he were missing some vital existence.
In fact, Taiqing, like Nuwa and Fuxi, has already cultivated to the Great Luo level, but lacks the Daluo Dao Fruit.
Fuxi only thought it was a bottleneck, but Taiqing had already touched the Tao and even realized a method himself, wanting to forcibly become a Golden Immortal with a Dao Fruit; unfortunately, the breakthrough failed in the end, and he was severely injured by the backlash.
And Shang Qing Tongtian, for the sake of his eldest brother's injuries, specifically went out to search for highly nourishing items, taking three fierce beast eggs with spiritual energy so abundant it was hair-raising from a hidden cave.
After eating these fierce beast eggs, Taiqing's injuries did indeed improve significantly, and his magic power even increased quite a bit.
But the problem arose: the three brothers did not expect that these eggs belonged to the ancient fierce beast Hegemon Taotie!
Taotie is an existence that could fight against heaven and earth Hegemons like the Dragon.
How could the three brothers afford to provoke it? But because they ate the Taotie eggs and were tainted by the aura, they have been hunted down ever since, and now their retreat is blocked, with nowhere left to retreat?
