out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the content of the mission appeared on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mission: Obtain the submission of three hundred Saint-realm powerhouses and help the Qin Kingdom survive this tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward: 500 merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Failure penalty: Reduce your own cultivation by one level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the system's voice had just fallen,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi could not help but frown, because he felt that this mission seemed a bit too simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, his current strength was enough to rival an Eighth-Level Saint powerhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this mission seemed a bit too easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking of the 500 merit points rewarded by the mission, he abandoned his doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Investigate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice had just fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system's voice rang out once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, investigation complete, please wait a moment, host!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ximen Wudi did not speak again, but closed his eyes to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the system's voice rang out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, system query complete, issuing the first mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission content: Seize the Shennong Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission reward: 300 merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Special attribute: Alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After use, it can increase pill refining level by 10

slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he walked toward the pill room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his target was the Shennong Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when he walked into the pill room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>looking at the pill furnace in front of him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a look of gravity could not help but appear in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in the Primordial world or the Primordial Chaos world, there were pill-dao experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ximen Wudi could be considered half a pill-dao grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he knew that in the way of pills, there was an existence even more powerful than a grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of person not only had profound attainments in pill refining, but each could also refine all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a mountain peak could be easily tucked into their pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even Ximen Wudi had never heard of Shennong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since there was a mission, he could not give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately reached out and grabbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the huge pill furnace flew up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chi chi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames spat out continuously, and the scorching temperature almost incinerated the firmament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ximen Wudi's expression became increasingly solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his hands danced, he cast one seal after another,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>letting them fall toward the pill furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a short moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the scorching pill flames under his palms\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were compressed into a round ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, sweat dripped from Ximen Wudi's forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it was very strenuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did not give up, continuing to drive the magic power within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the prototype of the pill had completely condensed into shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ximen Wudi's face was becoming increasingly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, when the last bit of magic power was injected into the pill,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the surface of the entire pill furnace turned red in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a wisp of blue smoke drifted up from the furnace lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the entire pill room was filled with a rich fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It caused Ximen Wudi's spirit to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he approached the pill furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just after his figure approached,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the pill furnace was directly flipped open by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a mass of golden-yellow mist surged into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It caused Ximen Wudi to be incredibly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did not hesitate in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure flashed, and he met the golden-yellow mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he just touched the mist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the rich energy surged toward him along his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Ximen Wudi felt that his whole body was incredibly comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the system's voice also rang out at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission, you have obtained one lottery chance, do you wish to use it immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the system's voice fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi's heart moved, and he said slowly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after his voice fell,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he saw a stream of light shoot out from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, it gathered into a scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scroll was filled with all kinds of pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they were all divine-grade spiritual pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect: Increases the magic power required for the First

power required for the Sixth to Sixth-Order Saint realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a copy of the Nine-Turn Profound Art, please comprehend it, host!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the content on the scroll was finished being read,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi understood in his heart that he had struck it rich again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was a sudden fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill was a pill that could help him quickly break through to the Fifth-Level Saint realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Nine-Turn Divine Pill, it was a pill that could increase the magic power required for a Sixth-Level Saint powerhouse's realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this time, there were two pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply heaven-defying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, summoning has begun, please wait patiently!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, summoning successful, you have obtained one Donghuang Taiyi summoning card!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, summoning successful, you have obtained one Mo Lishou summoning card!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, summoning successful, you have obtained one Chi You summoning card!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained one Ancestral Witch Zhu Rong summoning card!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained one Xing Tian summoning card!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained one Ancestral Witch Ju Mang summoning card!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard the system's prompt voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even though Ximen Wudi had long been prepared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he was still shocked; he had not expected that so many talents would join him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as he was pondering, the system's voice continued to ring out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, summoning successful, you have obtained one Chaos Fierce Beast Taotie summoning card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please pay attention to receiving it, host!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the system's voice, Ximen Wudi could not help but gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had long guessed that he might summon a Chaos Fierce Beast this time, after actually hearing it, his heart still could not help but race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was truly as he had expected, this battle would definitely be incredibly arduous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was he in danger, but the entire human race would definitely be implicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this time, he could not afford to consider too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, just after he heard the system's voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a gust of wind swept over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Ancestral Witch, who had already appeared outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that at this time, his whole body was wrapped in black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made it impossible for people to see his appearance clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, standing outside the door, the vast blood-evil aura caused Ximen Wudi's pupils to shrink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he knew that this person should be the Ancestral Witch ranked third among the Ancestral Witches: Xing Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, not long after, an unruly voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you brat actually killed my precious son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, I must annihilate your entire human race!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the voice fell, a black-light-shining axe appeared in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slashed heavily toward the pill furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorching axe blade, as it collided with the surrounding space,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>actually emitted a clanging sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It caused Ximen Wudi's expression to sink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that the Ancestral Witch had attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, he could not care about the pills in his hand at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the axe blade slashed down, in his mind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a roar rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, endless blood light splashed out between heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chi la!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tearing sound,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the giant axe in Xing Tian's hand shattered inch by inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in Ximen Wudi's mind, the system's voice rang out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained 100 faith points from Ancestral Witch Xing Tian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained a Pangu bloodline fragment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the faith points reached one million,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had not expected that this Pangu Essence Blood would actually bring such great benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the Ancestral Witch was so aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was not strange, after all, Pangu was also the hegemon of the Primordial Chaos world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the other Ancestral Witches not covet it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Pangu Essence Blood was absorbed by Ximen Wudi, his physique erupted with brilliant purple-gold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as dazzling as the scorching sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It caused the surroundings to be illuminated brightly in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his entire majesty was also radiated at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, whether it was his physical body or his cultivation, both had broken through again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had stepped into the Sixth-Level Saint realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the other side, the experts of various clans in the Primordial Chaos also rushed to the Ancestral Court one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, at this time, in the great hall, dozens of Seventh-Level Saint powerhouses had already gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the second day after Ximen Wudi entered the Ancestral Court,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he summoned everyone to discuss this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, above the great hall, besides the Human Emperor Xuanyuan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was led by Ancestral Witch Xing Tian, Ancestral Dragon, Di Jiang, Gong Gong, She Bi Shi, She Bi Ya, Zhu Rong, Kua Fu, and Hou Tu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind each person followed several Seventh-Level Saint powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were the foundation of the human race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, I have called you all here today because there is a matter that needs to be discussed with you all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice rang out indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after Ximen Wudi's voice had just fallen, in everyone's ears, Ximen Wudi's voice rang out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, what are your instructions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, Your Majesty, whatever orders you have, just say them, we will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since so, then please everyone, go together to the depths of the Chaos and summon the Ancestral Witch and the remaining eight Ancestral Witches, all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is my order!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi said.
