Chapter 367: First-Class Witch (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"Snake Ancestor couldn't possibly be a spy. If Snake Ancestor were a spy, I would have been dead long ago with no burial place," Wu Yuan thought quickly.
As for the elder witches of the clan? The probability of them being spies was also very low.
Even if they leaked the information they knew, it wouldn't be worth it for the Celestial Clan to attack Wu Yuan at such a high cost.
After all, before this battle, the talent level displayed by Wu Yuan had been seen in the history of the ancient witch clan, and even if the Celestial Clan had assassination actions, they had never been so crazy.
"It can only be the Creation Ancient Mirror, or the Creation Divine Weapon in the hands of the other two emperors? Or does the Celestial Clan have other special treasures?" Wu Yuan thought to himself.
The Southern Emperor controls the Creation Divine Cauldron, skilled in defense and restraint.
The Thundering Emperor controls the Creation Thunder Light, skilled in attack and escape.
These were the pieces of information about the emperors that the witch clan was relatively familiar with, as most of the clashes in the long years of war were with these two emperors.
Only the Great Yan Emperor and the Creation Ancient Mirror were the most mysterious.
"Haofeng, you guys wait here, follow me," the voice of the Snake Ancestor suddenly sounded in Wu Yuan's mind.
It was a divine consciousness transmission.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but look towards the Snake Ancestor.
"You all listen. In this battle, the target of the Celestial Clan is indeed the Haofeng Witch God," the Snake Ancestor suddenly spoke.
Immediately, Haofeng Witch God and more than thirty other immortals looked over, showing considerable respect.
The Snake Ancestor had a very high status among the witch clan, especially in the Tuwu lineage, even above the two major witch gods.
And these upper-level witches, many of them had only heard of the legend of the Snake Ancestor, but had never seen him.
Usually, only the elder witches could see the Snake Ancestor.
"In the past, concealing information was to avoid provoking the Celestial Clan, but obviously, the Celestial Clan has other means to know the strength and talent of Haofeng Witch God, and is willing to go to great lengths to assassinate him," the Snake Ancestor swept his eyes and said, "However, now that this battle is over, you have all seen it. Haofeng Witch God's strength, after cultivating for hundreds of years, is indeed a genius unprecedented in the entire ancient world."
Many upper-level witches nodded involuntarily.
Yes!
In their understanding, to become an upper-level witch after cultivating for ten thousand years was already an outstanding genius, but Wu Yuan? This cultivation speed was too exaggerated.
To cultivate for another few thousand years? Tens of thousands of years?
It's unimaginable.
"Now that the news has spread, I will be frank. The task of my Tuwu lineage in the future is to protect Haofeng Witch God with all our might and further enhance his strength," the Snake Ancestor said, "Do you all understand?"
"We understand."
"Yes."
"In the future, Haofeng Witch God's strength may even be comparable to the Wine Offering Witch God," these upper-level witches spoke successively. They were all high-level figures of the witch clan, with a broad vision, naturally able to see the situation clearly.
The Snake Ancestor nodded slightly, "Haofeng Witch God, from now on, you lead these upper-level witches to guard here and prevent the Celestial Clan from coming again."
"Arrange the earth witches to clean up the battlefield and see how much damage our Tuwu tribe has suffered in this battle."
"At the same time, start laying down formations again, especially the alert formations," the Snake Ancestor instructed.
"Got it," Haofeng Witch God nodded.
Then the Snake Ancestor looked at Wu Yuan, and two figures, one large and one small, swiftly flew into the nearby torn earth crack and disappeared from the sight of the upper-level witches.
... Following the Snake Ancestor, Wu Yuan arrived at a vast underground palace, and with a sweep of his eyes, he knew that there were heavy restrictions here, all fully activated.
"This time, it was my carelessness and complacency," the Snake Ancestor's huge body coiled up into a ball, and he said in a deep voice, "I originally thought that even if the Celestial Clan knew of your existence, they wouldn't know the full picture and wouldn't go all out to kill you."
"With me and Haofeng Witch God, it should have been enough to protect you."
"I didn't expect to almost make a mistake," the Snake Ancestor looked at Wu Yuan, a hint of fear in its eyes.
"Snake Ancestor, it's not your fault. Anyone would have never thought that the Celestial Clan's investigation methods were so sophisticated and that they would act so recklessly," Wu Yuan said.
"Yeah."
"I carefully considered it. The Celestial Clan should possess extremely strong predictive abilities, speculating that you are a future threat that could destroy the Celestial Clan," the Snake Ancestor said, "This kind of speculative surveillance method is too sinister and difficult to guard against."
Wu Yuan nodded lightly, the Snake Ancestor's speculation coincided with his own.
"Have you condensed the true meaning of life?" the Snake Ancestor looked at Wu Yuan.
"Yes."
"Condensing the higher-level law's true meaning, and you've only been cultivating for two hundred years? Unbelievable," even though the Snake Ancestor had long suspected.
But getting Wu Yuan's own admission also brought a hint of emotion.
It was well aware of how difficult this step was.
"Controlling the true meaning of life will further enhance my control over the three great celestial witch weapons," Wu Yuan said, "The comprehension of the Dao and the transformation of mana are necessary to quickly break through the Celestial Clan's battle formations."
This was the truth.
Each of those celestial battle formations had the strength close to that of a Triple-Calamity upper-level witch.
If Wu Yuan had only broken through in either the comprehension of the Dao or mana, it would have been difficult to win this victory.
"With your strength approaching that of a witch god, you already have the power to protect yourself. The overall situation has been set, and it will be difficult for the Celestial Clan to attempt another assassination," the Snake Ancestor said, "And now that you've only reached the ninth level of the Holy Domain, once you step into the realm of earth witch, you will likely advance even further."
Wu Yuan listened quietly. With his current strength, he wasn't afraid of encountering Celestial Clan emperors even outside of Tianzhu Mountain.
Indeed, the overall situation had been set.
"It may take some time to step into the realm of earth witch," Wu Yuan thought to himself.
"No rush, take your time," the Snake Ancestor's voice was gentle, and it was in a good mood, saying, "You have just condensed the true meaning of life, and you may not have fully comprehended it yet. This is a good time for cultivation."
"Go meditate and comprehend the Dao first, and we'll talk later when you come out," the Snake Ancestor said, waving its wings.
A huge and dim cave appeared in the distance on the stone wall.
"What is this?" Wu Yuan was puzzled.
"It leads directly to the Celestial Witch Hall. I have instructed the Tower Spirit, and it will open again. You can enter the Celestial Witch Hall to cultivate in seclusion," the Snake Ancestor said, "Although the effect of cultivation is far inferior to your first time, it will still be better."
"What about the resources?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Having spent decades in the Tuwu tribe, he had a deep understanding of all aspects of the tribe.
Naturally, he knew that the opening of the Celestial Witch Hall was not without cost.
It required consuming some special resources, one of which was to continuously absorb the essence of the earth's spiritual veins.
"Don't worry."
"These resources, if given to most witches for cultivation, would ultimately be wasted, so I'd rather give them to you," the Snake Ancestor said, "Don't delay."
"Okay."
Wu Yuan no longer refused and turned into a stream of light, swiftly leaving through the passage, directly entering the Celestial Witch Hall.
There was no one here.
The Triple-Calamity upper-level witch who had originally guarded this place had already gone to Tianzhu Mountain. Wu Yuan randomly chose a witch room and walked in.
Boom~ The bronze door opened, and Wu Yuan walked in.
He sat cross-legged on the jade platform.
"Sitting here does make it easier to calm the mind," Wu Yuan thought to himself.
This thought flashed by, and then he continued to perceive the vast and profound essence of the life laws.
Just breaking through, it was the best time for countless inspirations and thoughts to collide and intertwine.
It was the best time to consolidate one's foundation.
"Hum~" silently, as Wu Yuan quietly pondered the Dao, his spiritual sense perceived the essence of the life laws, and a faint breath emerged from all four walls of the witch room, countless life law runes appearing.
It helped Wu Yuan to comprehend faster.
...
When the great battle of the Tuwu tribe ended, and the Celestial Clan army suffered heavy losses and returned without success.
In the distant land, Tianzhu Mountain stood towering and endless.
It was merged with the entire heaven and earth, immovable, but inside, the three emperors of the Celestial Clan had opened up layer after layer of worlds using great supernatural powers, collectively known as the 'Thirty-Three Heavens'.
And today.
In the Thirty-Three Heavens, where the Celestial Clan had thrived for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the Eighth Heaven, this vast land of thousands of millions of miles was once inhabited by billions of celestial beings, who actually came from different races, gathering together, and those who could live here were all elites.
Ninety-nine percent were cultivators, and most of them were celestial soldiers or above. They were the foundation of the Celestial Clan's resistance against the witch clan.
Today, however, it welcomed a terrifying catastrophe.
The Witch Clan!
Led by the three witch gods, more than two hundred upper-level witches marched mightily into the Eighth Heaven. With every move, they possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, and a mere flick of their hand could turn hundreds of thousands of miles of heaven and earth into nothingness!
The Witch Clan's army marched on.
Especially dazzling was the towering figure enveloped in flames. With one strike, he could tear the heavens and earth apart.
This was the catastrophe of the Celestial Clan.
All the formations set up by the celestial beings, the army formed by countless upper-level and earth-level celestials, couldn't stop the Witch Clan's army's attack.
Countless celestial beings wailed in agony.
"Where are the emperors?"
"Where are the three emperors?"
"Where are our upper-level celestials? Where have they gone? Why did they let the Witch Clan's army advance and slaughter?"
"Are we just going to let the Witch Clan massacre us?" Countless celestial beings wailed, cursed, and felt unwilling before their deaths.
They hadn't thought about escaping.
But the Witch Clan's army attacked too fast, and the celestial beings, even the celestial scholars and generals, would take a long time to escape to higher heavens.
Soon.
"Kill!"
"The main force of the Celestial Clan has been defeated. Haofeng Witch God has killed seven upper-level celestials, and the battle of the Tuwu tribe has been victorious."
"This battle will definitely destroy the foundation of the Celestial Clan." The entire Witch Clan's army was filled with an unstoppable momentum.
"Boom!"
The heavens and earth shattered, an upper-level celestial roared to the sky, manipulating countless treasures, with a majestic aura, trying to struggle and resist.
This part of the Eighth Heaven was the place where his race flourished, and there was only him, an upper-level celestial.
So, he was unwilling to flee and would rather die than retreat.
But such resistance was futile.
"Boom!"
A giant flaming palm swept across the heavens and earth, crossing tens of thousands of miles of void. Along the way, countless treasures and artifacts were like toys in the hands of children, directly attacking this upper-level celestial.
The upper-level celestial, enraged and terrified, tried to escape, but seemed to be locked in by the giant palm, and the two sides collided in midair!
"Boom~"
With a dull sound, this upper-level celestial, who wanted to fight for his race, was directly blasted to oblivion, not even a trace left.
Perished!
The giant palm fell, bombarding the earth, tearing apart mountains and rivers, countless living beings perished.
Everything was apocalyptic.
"Damn Witch Clan."
"We, the myriad races, originally lived everywhere on the earth. It's you who drove us out, slaughtered us, and occupied our homeland. Now, even when we've hidden in Tianzhu Mountain, you still refuse to let us go?"
"Someday, your Witch Clan will also be destroyed." Some of the most spirited celestial warriors cursed angrily before their deaths.
They struggled, unwilling to submit.
"You are right."
"My Witch Clan was not born to dominate the earth, but this world has never been your paradise either." Wine Offering Witch God strode through the void, flames burning the heavens and earth, standing between heaven and earth with indescribable dominance, overlooking the entire world with a cold and indifferent gaze.
"Power has always been something only the strong can strive for."
"Weakness is the original sin!"
"Today, I am strong, so I slaughter you. In the future, I will annihilate the entire Celestial Clan and turn the entire ancient wilderness into the territory of my Witch Clan."
"Your blood, tears, and bones will not disturb me. They will only become my glory, nourishing the prosperity of my Witch Clan."
"If in the future, someone stronger comes to kill me, to wipe out my Witch Clan, I hold no grudge. I only regret not being strong enough."
"The heavens and earth are indifferent, treating all things as mere straw dogs. This is the will of heaven and earth." Wine Offering Witch God's voice was indifferent, echoing through the heavens and earth.
With a punch, flames soared, burning through the entire heavens and earth.
Millions of celestial beings perished.
In just one hour.
Led by the Wine Offering Witch God, the Witch Clan's army bloodily massacred up to the Seventeenth Heaven, approaching the Eighteenth Heaven.
As they ascended towards the Thirty-Third Heaven, the power of the Celestial Clan's three emperors' Creation Ancient Mirrors would become stronger.
The Eighteenth Heaven marked a qualitative change.
"Dayan, do you dare to obstruct me alone?" Wine Offering Witch God's voice was indifferent, echoing through this heaven and earth. "Besides, your plans have failed."
"The price paid in blood is still in vain." Wine Offering Witch God looked towards the Emperor's figure in the void.
"Do not try, how can you know success or failure?"
"Tried before, even if failed, no regrets." Emperor Dayan stood in the void, his face slightly pale. Even after receiving news of the failed attack on Haofeng Peak, he remained calm.
"In that battle years ago, I was not fully satisfied."
"Today, let me witness the full power of the Creation Divine Weapons." Wine Offering Witch God directly attacked.
He had no weapons.
His palms were his strongest weapons. With towering flames descending, the heavens and earth were illuminated by the fire.
This overwhelming power made all the upper-level witches and celestial beings on both sides pale.
"The power of creation is not something you can touch."
Emperor Dayan took a step forward, and an ancient mirror rose into the sky, radiating light that illuminated millions of miles of void, locking onto Wine Offering Witch God from afar.
At the same time.
A purple divine light soared into the sky, colliding and erupting with the flames, unleashing endless terrifying power.
Whoosh!
With each step Emperor Dayan took, his life force increased. By the time he took nine steps, he had reached an incredibly terrifying level.
Standing in the void, he seemed like an immortal descending from the heavens, transcendent and extraordinary.
With an almost invincible momentum.
The Witch Clan's army, including hundreds of upper-level witches, found it hard to breathe.
"Are they Heavenly Immortals?"
"It seems so!"
"I suspected long ago that the three of you could unleash the power of Heavenly Immortals within Tianzhu Mountain." Wine Offering Witch God seemed to have anticipated it.
He was not afraid at all and erupted in the same way!
One palm after another, like flaming celestial swords, the terrifying power was not inferior to Emperor Dayan.
Clearly, in terms of understanding the Dao, Wine Offering Witch God surpassed Emperor Dayan by a large margin.
The brutal battle between the two sides was extremely fierce. The shockwaves unleashed turned layer upon layer of formations and prohibitions into nothingness, leaving the entire Eighteenth Heaven in ruins.
The upper-level witches and celestial beings on both sides were stunned.
They couldn't intervene in such a level of battle. Just the aftermath alone could severely injure them.
Suddenly.
The Creation Ancient Mirror that had been suspended in the air suddenly moved, beams of light shooting out into the void, locking onto Wine Offering Witch God, causing his towering figure to stiffen.
Boom!
A purple divine light slashed down, instantly piercing Wine Offering Witch God's head, blood splattering, dazzlingly bright.
This scene made many celestial beings tremble.
Whoosh! Suddenly, Wine Offering Witch God's body exploded, terrifying shockwaves sweeping out, shattering the purple divine light.
Followed by countless flesh and blood reassembling, once again forming the body of Wine Offering Witch God, but his life force had decreased significantly.
"Haha, good."
"Dayan, I've learned your tricks. Next time we fight, I won't fall for it again." Wine Offering Witch God's voice was clear, without a hint of anger.
Boom!
A palm struck the void, flames surged, blocking the sword-like purple divine light, and the whole person turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the Seventeenth Heaven.
"Withdraw the troops."
"Let's go!" Hundreds of upper-level witches turned into streams of light and quickly disappeared into the Eighteenth Heaven.
The Witch Clan's army retreated.
"Retreat."
"We held it." The remaining thirty or so upper-level immortals didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
In this battle, they held their ground, but the casualties to the entire Celestial Clan were too heavy.
Not only did they lose a large number of earth immortals and upper-level immortals, but also the Seventeenth Heaven was completely destroyed, with the prospect of rebuilding distant and uncertain.
Moreover, the power unleashed by the Wine Offering Witch God was terrifying, as he could still match the Celestial Clan Emperor one-on-one even in the Eighteenth Heaven.
If he could pierce through once, he could do it a second time.
"Just wait quietly."
"The two Emperors will return soon." Emperor Dayan's voice was indifferent as his figure dissipated into the Eighteenth Heaven.
"Yes." Many upper-level immortals respectfully responded.
Whoosh! Like a gust of wind, Emperor Dayan swiftly returned to the Thirty-Third Heaven through layers of formations and prohibitions.
The empty palace greeted him, and he just sat down cross-legged.
"Puff!"
A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and Emperor Dayan's once mighty life force rapidly declined, perhaps not even comparable to an ordinary upper-level immortal.
"Burning the essence of life, activating the essence of creation, can't kill Wine Offering?" Emperor Dayan closed his eyes lightly.
Indeed!
With the full support of the Creation Divine Weapons, the Celestial Clan's three Emperors' magical powers could ascend to the level of Heavenly Immortals.
But that was only possible in the Thirty-Third Heaven.
In the Eighteenth Heaven alone, without enough authority from heaven and earth, normally speaking, he would only possess the magical power of a six-tribulation upper-level immortal.
It was by burning the essence of life and using the Bronze Ancient Mirror to conceal that Wine Offering Witch God mistakenly believed he could reach the level of a seven-tribulation Heavenly Immortal.
However.
Emperor Dayan still failed to kill Wine Offering Witch God, only severely injuring him, prompting Wine Offering Witch God to flee directly.
"Wine Offering is a disaster."
"Haofeng? Equally capable of Witch God power?" Emperor Dayan sighed inwardly. He dared not attempt any more deductions.
In his current state, to attempt another deduction would be pure suicide.
But just based on the current situation, Emperor Dayan understood that the probability of the entire Celestial Clan's destruction exceeded ninety percent!
"There are only two paths."
"One is to use the Divine Weapons as a boat and leave this heaven and earth."
"The other is to give it all, sacrifice everything, and kill Haofeng." Emperor Dayan pondered silently. "Then flee, wait for the opportunity, and reopen the Thirty-Third Heaven."
Both paths were extremely difficult.
"Whichever path is chosen, it will be extremely difficult to succeed, with a high probability of being a dead end, a hopeless situation."
"However, as the world turns, there is always a glimmer of hope."
"Waiting passively is the road to death." Emperor Dayan's eyelids drooped slightly. "For now, I must heal my injuries as much as possible."
In the battle just now, if Wine Offering Witch God hadn't retreated from the fight, then given the powerful vitality of the Witch, there was a seventy percent chance that Emperor Dayan would have perished.
However, Wine Offering Witch God didn't know Emperor Dayan's bottom line and didn't dare to take the risk.
Under the circumstances of being wounded first, the natural choice was to leave.
...
The third Witch-Celestial War ended with two major battles: the Battle of Haofeng Peak and the Battle of Tianzhu Mountain.
The Witch Clan washed away the decline of the past ten thousand years and achieved an unprecedented victory.
In this war spanning nearly a hundred years, the Witch Clan suffered great losses but gained equally great rewards. They not only annihilated numerous Celestial Clan cities established outside Tianzhu Mountain but also decimated over sixty percent of the Celestial Clan's population and core territories.
And in these two major battles.
The Haofeng Witch God and Wine Offering Witch God became renowned across the ancient wilderness.
"Haofeng Witch God is definitely the first genius in our Witch Clan's history. He can become a Witch God in just a few hundred years of cultivation."
"But I heard he's still just a Witch General?"
"Fart, clearly a Witch God."
"Haofeng Witch God has high talent, but Wine Offering Witch God is the strongest in our Witch Clan. Even on Tianzhu Mountain, he can face the Celestial Clan Emperor undefeated."
"They are all top experts of our Witch Clan."
"In another period of time, our Witch Clan will surely be able to break through Tianzhu Mountain and exterminate the Celestial Clan." Countless Witch Clan experts and creatures sang their names, spread their deeds, and worshipped them.
The four major Witch Tribe clans confirmed a strategy to fully protect "Haofeng" after communicating with each other, waiting for him to advance to the level of a land witch.
Three Witch Gods resided in the Earth Celestial Witch Tribe alone.
It must be known that in the entire Witch Clan, excluding the Snake Ancestor, there are only six Witch Gods.
Of course.
The highest level of the Witch Clan did not disturb Wu Yuan, who was in seclusion.
...In the Celestial Hall, in a quiet room.
"The mystery of life."
Wu Yuan sat cross-legged, fully comprehending the mystery of the true meaning of life, and as his insights deepened, unknowingly.
Wu Yuan began to gather various insights into the true meaning of life within his body.
For the Qi Refining line, the virtual world is fundamental, and the Purple Mansion opened within the virtual world is just a projection of the virtual world.
The Purple Mansion cannot sustain living creatures.
But for the Body Refining line, it's different. A world is formed within the body, which is rejected by the real world, making it difficult to sense the real world.
Even now, Wu Yuan's Body Refining Avatar, born with a divine soul, can only vaguely perceive the fate of the virtual world and the power of belief.
The mountains and rivers within the body are the core.
"The true meaning of life." In Wu Yuan's vast 90,000-mile mountains and rivers within his body, the core source is constantly evolving.
From the past star laws to the current life laws, it is constantly evolving.
As one's own insights into the Dao of heaven and earth become stronger, the mountains and rivers formed within the body will also become stronger and the source will become more vigorous.
Why is it so difficult for some Qi Refining Body Refiners to become Celestial Gods or Celestial Deities? It's because the source of the mountains and rivers within the body is too weak, and the Dao is too weak.
While some Body Refiners have extremely powerful mountains and rivers within their bodies, so once they pass the ninth immortal calamity tempering, they can quickly open up a vast real world and become Star Monarchs or Sovereigns in one leap.
When he first opened up the mountains and rivers, Wu Yuan used the star laws as the core structure.
The star laws and the laws of life are born of the same origin, and since they are not completely real now, they can naturally evolve quickly.
However.
Pushing the evolution of the source of the mountains and rivers within the body is a slow process, and Wu Yuan is also full of patience, as this is laying the foundation.
Moreover, only a small part of his attention is focused on this, with the vast majority of his attention still continuing to deduce the laws of life.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
"It's finally done." Wu Yuan sensed that at this moment, the source of the mountains and rivers within his body had been completely constructed by the laws of life.
The source became quite vigorous, and the entire world seemed to become more vibrant.
Also at the moment when the evolution of the source of the mountains and rivers within the body was completed.
Silently.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" The originally vast and majestic world within the body suddenly trembled, and then countless life forces crazily surged towards the four directions of the mountains and rivers.
Boom! Standing between heaven and earth, the towering thousand-mile boundary tree also trembled and began to grow rapidly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The entire world of mountains and rivers within the body, uncontrollably began to expand in all directions.
In the dark.
An invisible barrier was broken.
"The second-class witch foundation of the Body Refining Avatar is about to evolve into a first-class witch foundation?" Wu Yuan thought to himself, somewhat incredulous.
Is this transformation starting?
Before this, Wu Yuan was still somewhat worried about the foundation of the Body Refining Avatar. After all, as Master Kuachi said, the stronger one's own strength, the harder it is to transform the foundation.
It's relatively easy when in the Holy Domain, but it becomes much harder once you step into the realm of the land witch.
What Wu Yuan didn't expect was that it broke through silently like this.
A first-class witch foundation!
"Is it because the laws of life have reconstructed the source of the mountains and rivers, making the source strong, and naturally undergoing transformation?" Wu Yuan murmured.
It's like a house, no matter how it's renovated, it can't escape from the original framework, a three-story building can't be turned into ten stories.
Only by rebuilding the foundation.
"A first-class witch foundation."
With a thought, Wu Yuan saw a huge amount of source crystals pouring into his body's mountains and rivers as if they were free, quickly transforming into life source power.
Nearly madly pushing the expansion of the mountains and rivers within the body.
Several days later.
"Boom!" The mountains and rivers within the body reached their limit, with a maximum diameter of an astonishing 160,000 miles, much larger than before.
This is already the limit of the Holy Domain.
"Want to expand again?" Wu Yuan tried a bit and sensed that the mountains and rivers within his body had expanded to a kind of extreme.
Reached a certain limit allowed by the rules of heaven and earth.
Want to break through again?
Only by entering the Law Manifestation Realm (Earth Witch) can one go this route, and then the mountains and rivers within the body will undergo another qualitative change.
The expansion of the mountains and rivers within the body will make the body stronger, the life source power stronger, and the efficiency of nurturing the divine soul higher.
"The most important thing is."
"With a strong source of the mountains and rivers, I can bear more celestial level source techniques." Wu Yuan revealed a smile, "I can cultivate the third celestial level source technique."
Each celestial level source technique is extremely important.
In the battle with the Untraceable Celestial, before the breakthrough, the reason Wu Yuan could hold on for so long was because he had cultivated "Opening the Sky and Splitting the Universe".
If he can cultivate another celestial level source technique, it will greatly increase Wu Yuan's strength.
"Cultivate 'Ancestral Witch's Nine Arms'." Wu Yuan quickly selected the source technique from his inherited memories.
This is an extremely terrifying offensive source technique.
From Three-Headed Eight-Armed to Ancestral Witch's Nine Arms, it seems that only one arm has been added, but it represents a kind of perfection and extremity in the dark.
Many powerful killing moves will become perfect, and even in defense, their power will be greatly enhanced.
"In this way, with one defense, one body technique, and one attack, the three major celestial level source techniques complement each other, maximizing my strength." Wu Yuan murmured, very satisfied with this choice.
Of course, making a choice is one thing.
To cultivate to a high level and unleash great power also requires a lot of effort from Wu Yuan.
"However, with the foundation of cultivating 'Three-Headed Eight-Armed' before, my insights into the Dao are also very high. It shouldn't be difficult to get started." Wu Yuan felt calm in his heart, continuing to comprehend and deduce this celestial level source technique.
...
When Wu Yuan's Body Refining Avatar was making rapid progress in the mysterious ancient land.
In the endless distant time and space.
In the Green Mound Great Boundary, in the Northern Gloomy Boundary, within the Linxian Pavilion.
"The true meaning of life?"
"The Body Refining Avatar has encountered a great opportunity again?" Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar pondered, quite shocked.
Although he didn't know what the Body Refining Avatar had experienced.
But when the Body Refining Avatar broke through, countless insights into the Dao of life unconsciously surged into his mind, allowing the Qi Refining Avatar to grasp the true meaning of life.
How long has it been?
"Clearly, the divine soul of the Qi Refining Avatar is stronger, and it has more power of faith. Although the Dao body is slightly inferior, the cultivation environment of the Linxian Pavilion is excellent. Over the past decades, I have also received the inheritance of the Temple of Dao many times." Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar secretly sighed.
However, the progress of the Body Refining Avatar is not slow at all.
Now, it has even made a breakthrough.
"As long as I practice a few more moves and challenge the hundred floors of the Second Star Tower, I'm afraid I can pass." Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar flashed this thought.
A hundred floors of the First Star Tower is equivalent to ninety floors of the Second Star Tower in difficulty.
In other words.
If Wu Yuan, as the 'Ming Sword', goes to challenge now, it is like challenging from the ninety-first floor of the Second Star Tower.
A hundred floors of the First Star Tower require mastery of the seventh level of the Lower Realm to have a chance of success.
A hundred floors of the Second Star Tower require mastery of a Lower Realm law to have hope.
"However."
"My current performance is already dazzling, and the points of the Temple of Dao are still sufficient, far from being used up. There is no need to rush to challenge now." Wu Yuan thought secretly.
Going to challenge now doesn't have any special benefits, but will attract more attention and only bring more danger.
It's not worth the loss.
"Waiting another hundred years to challenge is not too late. By then, it won't attract so much attention." Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar made a decision.
"But."
"It's time to go see Master Kuachi." Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar suddenly smiled.
Not going to see him when crossing the threshold of the laws of life was not very meaningful, as there was no significant improvement in strength.
But now that the true meaning of life is condensed? The significance is completely different.
Just a thought!
Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar entered the Azure Peak Witch Realm and arrived at his personal palace.
At the same time, he applied for an audience with "Kuachi Witch Lord."
Unlike the Body Refining Avatar, as a disciple of the Witch Lord and not yet a Heavenly Witch, he could directly go to meet.
But the Qi Refining Avatar, having never been exposed, to avoid leaking information, couldn't directly go to the Witch Lord's plane.
He could only apply in his personal palace.
Wu Yuan didn't have to wait long.
In less than a quarter of an hour.
"Hum~" Silently, a tall figure wearing beast skins appeared in Wu Yuan's personal palace.
Where he stood, it seemed like the embodiment of heaven and earth, vast and endless.
"Master." Wu Yuan respectfully bowed.
"It's rare."
Kuachi Witch Lord smiled faintly, his voice deep, "Wu Yuan, it's been almost a hundred years since you last contacted me. Even though you cleared a hundred floors of the First Star Tower last time, you didn't inform me as your master."
"A trivial matter, I felt it wasn't worth bothering Master, so I didn't inform you and beg your pardon." Wu Yuan said respectfully.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't be petty." Kuachi Witch Lord smiled, "When my disciples achieve something, make progress, as a master, I will only be happy for you, why would I blame you."
Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily.
Although his relationship with Kuachi Lord was not comparable to that with Master Dongyang.
The other party had indeed treated him well.
"Coming to see me, what's the matter?" Kuachi Witch Lord looked at Wu Yuan, quite expectant, "Have you made a breakthrough in the Dao of life? Have you crossed the threshold of the laws of life?"
"Reporting to Master."
"Master, the disciple has indeed made a breakthrough in the Dao of life, but has not yet crossed the threshold." Wu Yuan respectfully said.
"Oh?" Kuachi Witch Lord frowned slightly, "Not yet broken through?"
He felt a bit dissatisfied.
In his estimation, if Wu Yuan devoted himself to comprehension, logically, with many opportunities, he should have crossed the threshold of the laws of life.
Could it be that he's distractedly comprehending the laws of space?
"Disciple has successfully condensed the true meaning of life. Please, Master, take a look." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
Hum~ Silently, a hazy wave of the Dao enveloped Wu Yuan.
"Hmm? What?" The words almost uttered by Kuachi Witch Lord stopped abruptly, staring at Wu Yuan in amazement.
He sensed this familiar wave of the Dao.
For him, this strand of the Dao wave was very weak but contained vigorous vitality, as well as an indescribable toughness.
If it's not the true meaning of life, what else could it be?
But!!
"You've realized the true meaning of life?" Kuachi Witch Lord was astonished, looking at Wu Yuan, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Although he had only taken Wu Yuan as a disciple for a little over a hundred years.
In these hundred years, Wu Yuan had brought him great surprises, completing terrifying transformations one after another at an astonishing speed.
From being originally unremarkable, just a little special with the 'Heavenly Witch Pattern', he quickly transformed to the level of 'the first in the history of the Great Boundary'.
And now.
At the age of more than a hundred and seventy, he has realized the true meaning of life.
At this age, there is still a hundred and thirty years left before reaching three hundred years, the age required to challenge the Second Star Tower.
With this pace of progress.
In another hundred years or so, what level will Wu Yuan reach?
"I have accepted over a thousand disciples, and only two have realized the true meaning of life early, but the shortest time it took was a thousand years." Kuachi Witch Lord was somewhat incredulous.
A hundred and seventy years, a thousand years, this is not a tenfold difference in talent.
It's a hundredfold.
And the disciples he accepted were all extraordinary talents, among which the top ones? Definitely among the best in the history of the Great Boundary.
Has Wu Yuan opened up a gap of a hundred times?
"Moreover!"
"My disciple, not only comprehends the Dao of life, but he also seems to have a high achievement in the Dao of space." Kuachi Witch Lord stared at Wu Yuan, secretly thinking, "This kind of talent... I've never seen before."
What kind of vision does he have?
Standing at the peak of the Great Boundary, having lived through countless years, having visited many Great Boundaries, traversed various places in the endless river of time and space, and befriended many super beings.
Countless years, witnessing countless extraordinary individuals and geniuses.
But none could catch up to Wu Yuan.
"At least, among peers, no one can catch up to him," Kuachi Witch Lord murmured, "He truly deserves to be called the 'strongest genius'."
He thought of some legends in the river of time and space.
Back then, when he mentioned Wu Yuan, it was just to encourage him, not believing that Wu Yuan could really make it through.
But now, Kuachi Witch Lord felt that there was real hope.
"At this rate of progress, he might enter the realm of life within ten thousand years."
"With a million years of time, let him try to break through from the realm level." Kuachi Witch Lord thought to himself.
With ample time.
The probability of breakthrough will increase by many folds.
...
"Master?" Wu Yuan finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with the life true meaning I've comprehended?"
Half a day passed, and the master still hadn't spoken.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the path he comprehended? Wu Yuan felt uneasy.
"No problem!"
"Very good." Kuachi Witch Lord showed a brilliant smile, feeling emotional, "Compared to you, your senior brothers and sisters seem mediocre."
"Your rate of progress also exceeds my expectations." Kuachi Witch Lord looked at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile.
To receive praise from Kuachi Witch Lord was rare, and he still remembered the evaluation his master gave him when he first joined.
"Your senior brother Changhong has been cultivating for thousands of years, and in terms of comprehending the Dao, he is probably only one level above you." Kuachi Witch Lord said.
Wu Yuan nodded.
Senior Brother Changhong had deduced a mid-level law to the realm level and was already a member of the Second Origin Witch Realm.
Over a hundred years had passed, and perhaps he had made further progress.
"How is your Body Refining Avatar?" Kuachi Witch Lord asked.
"It should be fine, but I'm not sure about the specific experiences." Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar said, quickly recounting his own feelings.
"Hmm."
"It seems that you have experienced great opportunities." Kuachi Witch Lord looked at Wu Yuan, "But, did your North Ghost Immortal Master hope for you to condense the spatial true meaning?"
"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded, "But the disciple has already decided not to go down that path and to focus on the laws of life."
"No!"
"Listen to your North Ghost Master." Kuachi Witch Lord smiled.
"Huh?" Wu Yuan was stunned.
The previous Kuachi Master didn't say that.
"If you take a thousand years to condense the true meaning of life, I naturally won't let you be distracted, it's not worth it." Kuachi Witch Lord said, "By then, trying to control a law of life for a million years will be extremely difficult."
Wu Yuan listened.
"But for now, your progress in the laws of life is too fast." Kuachi Witch Lord sighed, "It's so fast that even I find it hard to believe. Naturally, we should consider the more distant future..."
"More distant future?" Wu Yuan was puzzled.
"In the future, you will understand."
Kuachi Witch Lord looked at Wu Yuan and smiled, "In short, your talent is high enough, compared to some ordinary geniuses, you have room for trial and error."
"Moreover, your talent in the laws of space is not weak at all, so you can try a little."
"The third stage of your North Ghost Master's training is an opportunity that countless strong desire but that I cannot provide."
"You don't have to cultivate to a very high level, just condense the spatial true meaning is enough." Kuachi Witch Lord said, "It's completely worth spending hundreds of years to comprehend."
"By then, if you simultaneously cultivate two superior laws, your strength will also be stronger."
"Even if it's ultimately unsuitable, giving up will only waste a fraction of the Qi Refining Avatar's hundreds of years of energy, which is not a big cost."
"But once successful." Kuachi Witch Lord looked at Wu Yuan, "The benefits will be endless!"
End of the chapter.
Chapter 368: Years, Stone Carving
"To embark on the path of space and enjoy endless benefits?" Wu Yuan was slightly stunned.
If even Kuachi Master said so, then once successful, there would indeed be unimaginable power.
After some contemplation, Wu Yuan came up with many speculations.
"Although I'm not yet clear on what exactly the master means by the future mentioned... But if I can master the spatial true meaning again, it will indeed greatly enhance my strength," Wu Yuan thought to himself.
If he could grasp the spatial true meaning, without waiting for Celestial Immortal strength, with just a thought, he could step into higher-dimensional spatial fragments with his physical body, greatly improving his survival ability.
The way of space is extremely mysterious.
Second only to the mysterious law of time.
Of course, this path is also extremely difficult. At least foreseeable, if Wu Yuan chooses to comprehend the spatial law, it will be more difficult than the law of life.
After all, Wu Yuan is extremely proficient in the three paths of life, longevity, and stars.
But in terms of the three mid-level laws of space? The true domain is needless to say, the talent is extremely high.
The talent in the path of heaven and earth is passable, and now he has condensed the true meaning of heaven and earth.
But in the path of spatial rifts, the talent is relatively ordinary. Even now, at the realm triple stage, among the countless cultivators in the Qingling Great Boundary of this era, he can hardly be called the top.
"Kuachi Master has a very broad vision."
"If he says that the third stage mentioned by the North Ghost Master is a great opportunity, it should not be wrong," Wu Yuan pondered.
Just like the Immortal Land, Kuachi Master's judgment was correct, leading to a transformation for Wu Yuan.
The rise of any peerless genius is inseparable from opportunities.
And many opportunities are something even monarchs cannot provide.
Of course, in the vast river of time and space, there are countless opportunities. It also depends on one's efforts to seize them, just like Wu Yuan's Body Refining Avatar in the Primordial Land, which has been trying step by step.
"At least the two monarchs won't harm me. Now, they both advise me to comprehend the law of space, there must be some certainty."
"Moreover!"
"The essence of the law of life is to compete! To struggle in this vast world, to fight for a chance of transcendence." After this transformation of the true meaning of life, even though the Qi Refining Avatar doesn't know the experience of the Body Refining Avatar.
But the true meaning of life has also gradually changed the mindset and thoughts of the Qi Refining Avatar.
Seeking stability is not wrong.
But blindly seeking stability, sometimes, will also miss many opportunities. At some critical moments, perhaps failure will occur due to some slight differences.
When it's time to fight, you must fight.
Just like what Kuachi Master said, it may take hundreds of years of the Qi Refining Avatar's energy.
Try it, why not?
Distracting oneself will indeed affect the progress of the law of life to some extent, but if successful?
The gains and losses are hard to say.
"Disciple understands. In the time to come, I will do my best to strive and strive to meet the requirements of the North Ghost Immortal Lord." Wu Yuan said solemnly, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."
"I have pointed out the way for you, but the path, you have to walk it yourself." Kuachi Witch Lord smiled faintly.
"According to reason, condensing the true meaning of life so quickly, far exceeds my requirements. I should give you some rewards, but I can't directly find your Qi Refining Avatar."
"Just reward you with 'one hundred Temple of Dao points' for now."
"Other rewards will be postponed for now."
"When your Body Refining Avatar returns from the Immortal Land, come to me again." Kuachi Witch Lord smiled.
"Yes." Wu Yuan was quite surprised.
One hundred Temple of Dao points can be used to accept twenty life or space law inheritances, which is already a very good reward.
You should know that Temple of Dao points are different from ordinary treasures and wealth. This is not something that ordinary treasures and wealth can obtain.
"Now, I don't lack Temple of Dao points. Whether it's the Supreme Source Divine Court or the Witch Court, I have over a hundred points. I can go to any side and accept twenty or thirty superior law inheritances, or nearly a hundred mid-level law inheritances..." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
In recent years, it has been extremely luxurious for Wu Yuan to accept a superior law inheritance once every twenty years.
Because Wu Yuan is clear.
This is because he has just started, so progress seems fast, and Kuachi Master, North Ghost Master, and others have given many rewards.
As his strength becomes stronger and stronger, progress will slow down.
For example, the Seven-Star Tower of the Supreme Source Divine Court can be challenged before reaching Celestial Immortal for a million years, which can be imagined as extremely difficult.
Naturally, the later he gets these rewards, the harder it will be.
"I have to save some and use them slowly." Wu Yuan thought to himself, "But according to Master's meaning, there will be other rewards when the Body Refining Avatar returns?"
"In addition, your Body Refining Avatar should now be a first-grade Witch Foundation." Kuachi Witch Lord said.
"A first-grade Witch Foundation?" Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar's eyes lit up.
"Yeah."
"Breaking through the foundation has many methods, such as combining with some extremely rare and terrifying treasures, and the foundation's original source, naturally enhancing it by a large margin, like the World Tree." Kuachi Witch Lord said, "However, items that can break through to a first-grade Witch Foundation are extremely rare."
"The most common way is to combine treasures with the law, and then use some special techniques to cultivate together successfully."
Wu Yuan listened.
He naturally knew about these general methods.
"But there is one hardest way, which is the transformation of the original source." Kuachi Witch Lord smiled, "Your Body Refining Avatar is estimated to be only in the Sacred Realm, so, as long as you comprehend a superior law to the true meaning level, or a mid-level understanding to the realm level... In short, the comprehension at the Celestial level can transform the foundation..."
Wu Yuan was surprised.
Soon he understood.
The comprehension of the Sacred Realm level and the Celestial level in the way of the Celestial Immortal can directly transform the foundation into a first-grade.
For the Splitting Void Sacred Domain level, one needs to comprehend to the Star Lord level to transform.
For the Tribulation Universe Building level, one needs to understand a superior law to transform directly.
"The further you go, the harder it will be to transform the foundation." Kuachi Witch Lord looked at Wu Yuan, even more satisfied, "Now both of your Avatars have become first-grade foundations, and your comprehension of the law is so high."
"The foundation has been established."
"There is no need to delay any longer. As soon as you accumulate enough time, you should break through immediately and reach the level of Celestial Immortal and Celestial Witch as soon as possible."
"By then, it will be your time to shine." Kuachi Witch Lord said.
"Yes." Wu Yuan said solemnly.
The nine levels of the Splitting Void Sacred Domain require three hundred years to stay; the nine levels of the Earth Immortal and Earth Witch require at least eight hundred years.
In short.
"In about another thousand years, if everything goes smoothly, I will be able to enter the level of Celestial Immortal and Celestial Witch." Wu Yuan felt a little hopeful.
"Go!" Kuachi Witch Lord waved his hand.
...
This thought left the Cangfeng Witch Domain and came to the quiet room of the Self Courtyard in the Linxian Pavilion.
"I don't know how the Body Refining Avatar is doing now, but judging from the progress of the past few hundred years, it mainly involves comprehending the law of life."
"By using the law of life to promote the Path of Longevity in reverse, the Path of Longevity is also constantly improving." Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar secretly said.
The Path of Longevity has now reached the level of true meaning three times, enough to satisfy the progress of the law of life.
"Now, my Qi Refining Avatar..."
"Will follow Master's instructions and fully comprehend the law of space." Wu Yuan silently pondered.
The Qi Refining Avatar comprehends the law of space, with three major advantages.
First, it is a powerful primordial spirit. After nearly a hundred years of contemplating the Black Tower, the primordial spirit of the Qi Refining Avatar has reached an astonishing level, with a single thought able to spread for millions of miles, but it has not reached its limit.
"The primordial spirit of the Qi Refining Avatar is comparable to an ordinary Celestial Immortal." Wu Yuan secretly said to himself, "For high-dimensional perception..."
In an instant.
Wu Yuan's divine sense spread out, already touching the higher-dimensional spatial fragment layer. In the past, he dared not touch it and only dared to sense it slightly.
But now?
With a higher level of comprehension of the law of space, coupled with a stronger primordial spirit, Wu Yuan dared to manipulate a strand of divine sense to roam and explore the spatial fragment layer at will.
The clarity of perception of space has already advanced further.
Perception is only one aspect, and the important thing is talent. And obviously, after being nurtured by the Fire God Canyon, Wu Yuan's talent in space has become even higher.
The second is the special environment of the Linxian Pavilion, coupled with the inheritance of the "True Domain Code" and the "General Outline of Spatial Laws."
The third is a large number of Temple of Dao points, which allow him to accept inheritances time and time again and receive the best guidance.
"At any cost."
"Go all out."
"A thousand years? There are still nine hundred and twenty years left until the promise of the North Ghost Master." Wu Yuan already has a clear plan for cultivation.
"First, push the way of the Splitting Void to the true meaning level."
"Once all three mid-level laws reach the true meaning level, it means that I have entered the realm in different aspects of the spatial law, with no omissions, and then try to integrate and enter the threshold of the spatial domain, which will be easier." Wu Yuan secretly said.
This is the experience Wu Yuan gained from realizing the true meaning of life.
"First, lay a solid foundation, but not too profound, not to be influenced by the Dao of Alchemy, and then seek integration."
"Let's begin."
From that day on, Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar was fully immersed in the contemplation and deduction of the law of space.
...
Days passed by.
In the mysterious ancient world, within the Earth and Heaven Witch Tribe, inside the Heavenly Witch Tower.
"Hmm?"
"My comprehension of the law of space, especially the degree of understanding of the Splitting Void, is rapidly improving." Wu Yuan's Body Refining Avatar quickly noticed this.
This rate of progress, compared to the other two mid-level laws of space, was not considered fast.
But compared to before comprehending the Splitting Void, it had increased by dozens of times.
There was only one possibility—his Qi Refining Avatar was currently fully comprehending the Splitting Void.
"Could it be..."
"Has my Qi Refining Avatar encountered special circumstances, necessitating an attempt to cross the threshold of the law of space?" Wu Yuan's Body Refining Avatar wondered.
However, he couldn't be sure.
His consciousness was isolated.
He couldn't perceive or judge.
"I am still me, both of my Avatars are me. I believe that whatever decision I make will be the correct one." Wu Yuan had confidence in himself. "Well, my Qi Refining Avatar will fully comprehend the law of space."
"I will continue to comprehend the law of life."
"It's a pity that the 'Silver Light Sphere' left to me by Master Kuachi doesn't have much effect anymore." Wu Yuan sensed the huge silver light sphere within his body, within the mountains and rivers.
The countless runes on it.
At this moment, in Wu Yuan's eyes, everything was already clear, and there were no more secrets, because he had completely understood it.
"The road ahead."
"Will rely on the guidance of the origin of the law of life in the depths of my mind to continue understanding." Wu Yuan's Body Refining Avatar already had some ideas about the path of cultivation ahead.
Thinking of this.
"The help from the Heavenly Witch Tower is getting smaller and smaller." Wu Yuan glanced around the walls. Although the runes were still profound and mysterious, they were actually not systematic.
It no longer had the guiding effect it once did.
"Let's go!"
Wu Yuan stepped out, the bronze gate opened, and he flew out.
This time, his seclusion lasted nearly two years.
"Houfeng Witch God, I'm out." Not far away, there was a figure in white robes and white hair, sitting cross-legged, calmly watching Wu Yuan.
"Elder Houqiong." Wu Yuan spoke.
"I've heard about your situation, and I admire it." Elder Houqiong showed a rare smile on his face. "I've already passed on the news of your emergence from seclusion to Snake Ancestor and the other Elders."
Wu Yuan nodded gently and asked, "How is the situation with the war?"
That was the main point.
"The great battle has ended... Until today, they are still stationed around Mount Tianzhu." Elder Houqiong said.
Wu Yuan understood the situation.
The Third Witch-Fairy War ended with a complete victory for the Witch Clan. After this battle, the highest level of the Witch Clan reached a consensus and established a permanent military camp around Mount Tianzhu, where three Witch Gods led a large number of Upper Witches and Earth Witches stationed year-round, ready to launch a decisive battle against the Fairy Clan at any time.
In the past two years, the major battles in various places gradually subsided. The Fairy Clan was severely damaged, and its main forces never left Mount Tianzhu.
"Go ahead."
"Last time you had a breakthrough, but there wasn't an official celebration." Elder Houqiong smiled lightly. "This time, I think the tribe will hold a grand celebration."
"Being born as a Witch God is not easy."
"I won't go." Elder Houqiong closed his eyes, apparently unwilling to say more.
Wu Yuan nodded slightly and flew away.
...
As expected by Elder Houqiong, Wu Yuan's emergence from seclusion immediately caused the entire Earth and Heaven Witch Tribe to boil with excitement, quickly organizing a grand celebration.
However...
Currently, there weren't many Upper Witches in the tribe, with fewer than fifty, and most of them were still stationed on the front line of Mount Tianzhu.
This was the duty of the top experts of the Witch Clan.
The celebration lasted for several days. Not only did the Earth and Heaven Witch Tribe hold it, but the other three major Witch Tribes also sent Upper Witches to join the celebration. Of course, most of them only sent their avatars, and there were many Earth Witches who came to see and learn.
"So young."
"Houfeng Witch God, only at the level of Witch General? The rumors turned out to be true."
"Indeed, just a Witch General. However, anyone who dares to underestimate him as a Witch General is truly foolish. He can unleash the swordsmanship of a Witch God."
"A Witch General who can bring the Divine Weapons of the Celestial Witch Gods to such a level, it's impressive for him to cultivate into an Upper Witch in the future, isn't it?" Many Earth Witches who came to congratulate each other whispered to each other, amazed by Wu Yuan's cultivation and strength.
And through this celebration...
Wu Yuan's status in the ancient Witch Clan was officially confirmed—a Witch God! One of the top levels of the entire Witch Clan.
After the celebration ended.
"Heavenly Witch Jade?" Wu Yuan pondered the token in his hand.
"Yes."
Snake Ancestor nodded. "The vast expanse of the earth is not easy to maintain constant contact with at all times. This world has many limitations and cannot open up a Divine Realm. Through the Heavenly Witch Jade, the highest level of our Witch Clan can maintain contact at any time. It's not easy to make and is usually only possessed by the Elders."
Wu Yuan nodded gently.
He now understood the highest combat power—Snake Ancestor, the six Witch Gods, plus himself empowered by the Heavenly Witch Divine Weapons.
Below that were fewer than thirty Upper Witch Elders.
"What are your plans next?" Snake Ancestor asked.
"I plan to leave the Earth and Heaven Witch Tribe." Wu Yuan smiled.
Snake Ancestor couldn't help but be stunned.
"Being trapped in one place doesn't benefit my cultivation much." Wu Yuan said calmly. "I'm comprehending the law of life, which means I need to travel around, not just for the integration of the mysteries of the Dao, but also to experience the wonders of all living beings in this world."
Paused for a moment.
"Moreover." Wu Yuan smiled again. "After spending nearly a hundred years in this world, I haven't had a chance to explore this vast land properly."
"It's somewhat regrettable."
"There are countless living beings, and there must be many wonders."
Snake Ancestor nodded. He didn't know much about how to comprehend the law of life.
But he knew one thing—someone like Wu Yuan, a peerless genius, could not be judged by an Upper Witch who had been cultivating for tens of millions of years.
Don't understand?
Then don't give blind advice, but find a way to solve the problem.
"The path of cultivation is yours to walk," Snake Ancestor smiled. "But your safety must be ensured. You've suffered enough from that ancient mirror; you can't afford to make the same mistake again."
"Let me think."
After some consideration, Snake Ancestor said, "With me guarding the Earth and Heaven Witch Tribe, hmm, I will have the Witch God of Hou Tu and the Elder Hou Zhi follow you as your attendants to protect you along the way. They won't disturb your cultivation."
"This way, the three of you, even if you encounter the simultaneous attack of the three Emperors of the Fairy Clan, will have the power to defend yourselves."
"Also, if there's danger, seek help immediately."
Wu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised.
A Witch God and an Elder as his attendants?
"Would they be willing?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, they will," Snake Ancestor chuckled. "It's not truly being an attendant, just a disguise, and besides, it won't be for too long."
"In another one or two hundred years."
"When you reach the Earth Witch level, by then, your strength should be close to surpassing the Blessing Witch God."
"Then there's no need for protection anymore," Snake Ancestor said.
Wu Yuan nodded gently.
Indeed, once he reached the Earth Witch level and was empowered by the Divine Weapons of the Heavenly Witch Gods, his strength would experience a significant surge.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Snake Ancestor." Wu Yuan didn't refuse.
If he could venture more safely...
Why refuse?
After all, who knows if the Ancient Mirror of Life and Creation can deduce his exact location? It would be dangerous to venture alone, especially if it attracted the simultaneous attack of the three Emperors of the Fairy Clan.
...
After staying in the Earth and Heaven Witch Tribe for two more days, on the outskirts of the tribe.
"Hou Quan, make sure to cultivate well," Wu Yuan smiled at this dark-skinned young man.
He seemed young but was extremely mature.
"Okay." Hou Quan nodded, looking at Wu Yuan with a touch of emotion in his eyes. "Hou Feng... Witch God!"
Then he smiled again, "I will also strive. Even if I can't become a Witch God, I will work hard to become an Earth Witch or even an Upper Witch."
Wu Yuan smiled.
The friendship between the two of them had not changed much despite his breakthrough in strength.
"Hou Feng."
A Witch General dressed in red, Hou Tong's eyes were slightly red. "You just came out of seclusion a few days ago, and now you're leaving again?"
Wu Yuan became a Witch God, and many Witch Generals and Earth Witches in the tribe showed great respect for him. Even Hou Quan was somewhat restrained.
Only Hou Tong, as usual.
The slightly different relationship between them had long been spread throughout the Earth and Heaven Witch Tribe.
The highest levels of the Witch Clan were happy to see this happen, with hardly anyone opposing it.
After all, Hou Tong's talent and background in the Witch Clan's younger generation were already at the top.
"This is how cultivation is, isn't it?" Wu Yuan smiled slightly, looking at this enthusiastic woman who was like a blooming flower.
"Are you trying to avoid me?" Hou Tong bit her lip, suddenly saying, "Yes, your talent is extraordinary, and you're already a Witch God. You may even become a Heavenly Witch in the future."
"But am I just not good enough for you?"
Wu Yuan was momentarily stunned, then smiled, "No one is unworthy. We are all independent individuals. Even if there's a gap in strength, we are still equal in this matter."
"However, I currently have no inclination for love," Wu Yuan shook his head.
"I'm leaving."
Immediately,
Wu Yuan soared into the sky, disappearing into the vast clouds and mist, while the Witch God of Hou Tu and the Elder Hou Zhi were waiting for him outside the tribe.
Hou Tong, watching Wu Yuan's departing figure, was somewhat lost in thought, her eyes slightly reddened.
She acknowledged that she had been humble enough.
Suddenly,
"Hou Tong, Hou Feng is just going to travel the land, not to fight for life or death," Hou Quan couldn't help but say, "Actually, you can totally follow him."
Hou Tong was first surprised, then showed a pleased expression, "Hou Quan, it's the first time I've found you so clever."
With that said,
Swoosh!
Hou Tong turned into a streak of light, shooting into the sky, swiftly heading towards Wu Yuan and the others.
...
Regarding Hou Tong's pursuit, the Witch God of Hou Tu and the Elder Hou Zhi showed a look of experienced individuals.
After Wu Yuan smiled, he didn't refuse again.
With the strength of their team, protecting Hou Tong was not difficult.
"Now that you've followed, cultivate well. I'll have the Witch God of Hou Tu guide you along the way. If you can't meet my requirements, then go back," Wu Yuan said.
"Humph."
"No need for you to say, Grandpa Hou Tu will guide me," Hou Tong huffed. She was the granddaughter of the Witch God of Hou Lu.
She also called the Witch God of Hou Tu "grandpa."
"Oh, and one more thing," Wu Yuan added. "From today onwards, on this journey, call me Young Master."
"Why?"
"Because Grandpa Hou Tu now calls me Young Master," Wu Yuan chuckled. "You can think of yourself as a maid."
"I don't want to be a maid."
"If you don't want to, you can go back," Wu Yuan said lightly.
Hou Tong glared at Wu Yuan.
"Come, I'll teach you a method to conceal your breath, but don't leak it," Wu Yuan added.
While the Witch God of Hou Tu and the Elder Hou Zhi could conceal their breath, ordinary Earth Witches found it difficult.
But it wasn't the case for Hou Tong; she needed to practice a specific method.
...
The group began their journey to explore the vast land. The ancient land was immense, spanning billions of miles.
How many tribes inhabited it?
As they traveled, Wu Yuan gradually discovered that besides the Witch Clan, there were many other intelligent races living in this vast land. However, they didn't occupy the spiritual veins of the land, and most of them were weak, mostly just mundane beings.
Only a few could become cultivators.
The Witch Clan was the ruler of this land, but not the only race.
Even an ordinary low-level tribe of the Witch Clan was seen as immensely powerful by many weaker races.
"The conflict between the Witch and Immortal realms is constantly raging, but for many weaker races on the edge of the land, it's quite distant," Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.
They passed by many races.
Some occupied only tens of thousands of miles of land, with no spiritual veins, yet they had their own diverse and splendid civilizations.
Time passed.
Year after year.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed.
...In the Qingling Great Realm.
"A hundred floors of the Second Star Tower, it's really not difficult," Wu Yuan's Avatar of Qi Refinement easily passed through the hundred floors of the Second Star Tower.
But compared to when he passed through the hundred floors of the First Star Tower,
This time, it didn't cause much of a stir. Even many Star Lords didn't pay much attention; they just glanced over it.
The name of the peerless genius of the Sword of Ming had long been recognized.
This time, apart from many Star Lords from the Northern Seclusion Lineage sending their congratulations, neither the Northern Seclusion Immortal Lord nor the Qua Chi Witch Lord met Wu Yuan.
In their eyes,
If he could pass through a hundred floors of the First Star Tower, passing through a hundred floors of the Second Star Tower was a matter of course.
"Mingjian, the first genius in the history of our Qingling Great Realm," such voices had already been heard, but had not been widely recognized.
After all, he was still too young.
Only by passing through the hundred floors of the Third Star Tower, the Fourth Star Tower, and the Fifth Star Tower, would he have a chance to gain recognition from all the superpowerful beings.
...On the mysterious ancient land.
For the Witch God of Hou Tu and the Elder Hou Zhi, a hundred years was just a momentary flick, as they had already lived for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years.
But for Wu Yuan?
It was a transformation.
He had never traveled the land so leisurely and freely, passing through many Witch Clan tribes and races, encountering no danger, and not being attacked by the Immortal Clan.
Leisurely and free.
His heart grew even calmer, yet not truly peaceful. In these seemingly leisurely days, he was observing the lives of countless beings on the land, experiencing their joys and sorrows.
Gradually,
Occasionally, Wu Yuan would stay in some small tribes for a few days, experiencing and feeling like an ordinary member of the Witch Clan.
Juhong Tribe.
This was a medium-sized tribe, just one of the inconspicuous tribes among countless Witch Clan tribes, occupying only a small spiritual vein and inhabited by millions of Witch Clan members.
Like a kingdom.
On the east side of the main city of the tribe, there was a large courtyard, where many Witch Clan members dressed in fancy clothes were watching from a distance.
"Peng~"
"Peng~" The stones were continuously chipped away and fell on the grass. Along with a figure in white robes, the stones, which were as tall as ten people, gradually revealed the appearance of a strange beast.
It looked like it was roaring towards the sky.
Its eyes, fur, tail, and facial features all seemed lifelike, but most importantly was its aura.
It seemed to have come alive.
"Amazing."
"Indeed, Master Qianshan's skill is beyond doubt. Don't you know how many people want to commission a Thunder Beast statue and can't get one?"
"It's too lifelike."
"It's as if it's come alive."
"Unfortunately, the source crystals my father gave me are not enough, otherwise, I would definitely buy it," these tribal elites whispered.
Having ample storage, they still respected etiquette.
The Witch Clan, rising from the wilderness, had faced many pressures over the millennia, even now, as they continued their battle against the Immortal Clan.
Cultivation for longevity and power remained the main theme, but artistic development had not completely stagnated. Especially in areas like cuisine, clothing, painting, etc., there was continuous progress.
However,
Perhaps inherently rough, the Witch Clan seemed to prefer collecting stone carvings, weapons, and so on, compared to delicate arts like painting and calligraphy.
Wu Yuan had been in this tribe for nearly ten years.
He bought a mansion and occasionally, when he felt like it, he would create stone carvings and then sell them.
At first, the prices weren't high.
But gradually, as his reputation spread, the prices soared. Today, he was recognized as the highest-level stone carving master in the entire tribe's main city.
However,
Wu Yuan always only carved Thunder Beasts and never sold them individually. Even when faced with so-called dignitaries, he did the same. Surprisingly, this behavior only increased his fame in the Juhong Tribe.
"The sculptures of the young master are becoming more and more realistic."
"Yes, when he first started on the road, he only did wood carvings, but gradually shifted to stone carvings. At first, it was small stones, but slowly became large-scale stone carvings."
"I feel that this statue, it's like it contains life." Not far from the courtyard, two figures resembling stewards were conversing.
It was none other than the Witch God of Hou Tu and the Elder Hou Zhi.
How broad were their horizons?
Naturally, they could perceive the extraordinary nature of that animal-like stone sculpture, faintly containing a special artistic conception, very profound.
... "Using wood to carve, plants are also a form of life and carving out their vitality is easy," Wu Yuan spoke as if no one was around, his gaze always on the huge stone carving.
He had never deliberately carved, only following his own intentions.
This was just one of the methods of his cultivation of the "Law of Life."
"Life, after understanding the true meaning of life, the next step is to observe all things, understand the mysteries of life's circulation, and realize the unique spirituality of life," Wu Yuan silently said.
He chose to carve.
The subject, Thunder Beasts!
There was no other reason, just because of the Origin Picture of Creation, which left him with a deep impression of the aura contained within the Thunder Beast depicted in it.
At first, it was wood carvings, but in the end, he chose stone carvings.
"Stone is dead."
"Nowadays, thinking about it, the so-called Thunder Beasts in the Thunder Realm are just endowed with a kind of life spirituality by the Great Dao of the Origin, containing the life spirit of the thunder, making Thunder Beasts appear like real living beings," Wu Yuan thought to himself.
He continued to carve.
"Stone sculptures, lifelike? Ultimately, they're dead."
"If one day, I can truly make this stone sculpture 'come' alive, moving around me like a living being, I'm afraid I can reach the level of the Domain of Life." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
Unfortunately, the gap was too far.
According to what Wu Yuan knew, at extremely high levels of comprehension of the Law of Life, one might even attempt to create life.
But for now, he was just imitating.
Crash~
Accompanied by a large amount of debris falling, this huge stone sculpture was finally completed, resembling a living Thunder Beast.
It was imposing.
Especially those eyes, faintly containing a pressure, made many Witch Clan young elites in luxurious clothing feel a bit stifled.
Too terrifying!
But they didn't know that this was carved by Wu Yuan based on the Origin Picture of Creation and the elite Thunder Beasts. Once completed, the pressure naturally became strong.
Whoosh!
A red-clothed woman suddenly dashed out and arrived under the stone sculpture. She scanned the crowd and smiled, "Everyone, as per usual, starting price is one hundred source crystals, each bid must increase by at least ten source crystals. Let's begin."
"Two hundred source crystals."
"Three hundred source crystals."
"Three hundred and twenty source crystals."
...
"One thousand eight hundred source crystals." The number of bidders decreased, and this price had reached a limit.
After all, it was just a stone sculpture. No matter how magical, it could only be used for collection and didn't contain any profound meaning.
Naturally, the price wouldn't be too outrageous.
Suddenly.
"Ten thousand source crystals." A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, and a young man in a silver robe walked out, surrounded by a group of people.
There was an uproar, and everyone looked over.
Ten thousand source crystals, to buy a stone sculpture?
Are they crazy?
The young man in the silver robe had a hint of smile on his face, full of arrogance, seeming to enjoy the attention of the crowd. There was a hint of greed in his eyes.
"It's Lord Zhu Ren."
"Is it him?"
"He also likes sculpting? I've never heard of that before." Suddenly everyone knew who the newcomer was. He was a very famous witch in the tribe.
His fame wasn't because of his strength.
But because of his influential background.
He was the eldest son of a witch general, albeit only the inconspicuous third son.
However, as a medium-sized tribe, the strongest in the Juhong tribe were only a few witch generals. Therefore, having a father as a witch general, Zhu Ren could be arrogant.
Some minor offenses.
The tribe's law enforcement team turned a blind eye.
"Ten thousand source crystals, are you sure?" The maid, wearing a red robe, frowned slightly. "Once confirmed, you can't go back on it."
"Haha."
"I, Zhu Ren, have I ever gone back on my word? I've long heard of Master Qianshan's extraordinary skills, and today I see that they are indeed well-deserved." Zhu Ren, in the silver robe, grinned. "However, this ten thousand source crystals are not just to buy this stone sculpture."
"Do you also want Master Qianshan to give up and give your maid to me? How about that?" Zhu Ren stared at Hotong, his eyes showing a hint of greed.
Hotong, the witch general, flashed a cold light in her eyes.
As a strong witch general, even though she suppressed her aura and pretended to be a maid, she was still young and far from having the perfect aura suppression like the witch gods. So, a slight leak would give people a unique feeling.
This kind of temperament was something ordinary maids or even witches didn't have.
And just now, it attracted Zhu Ren's attention.
Stone carving?
He had only heard that there was a master stone carver here and came to see what was going on. But now, he was more eager to get Hotong.
The woman in red before him made him itch.
"Want a maid?"
"This Zhu Ren, is here to cause trouble, right?"
"But, it's just a maid. Although her temperament is indeed outstanding, Master Qianshan... Although his stone carving skills are high, he's ultimately just a witch. I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to offend Zhu Ren." The onlookers whispered to themselves, but no one dared to speak out.
Zhu Ren's background was not something many people dared to provoke in the main city of the tribe.
"You're looking for..." Hotong's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, about to explode.
Suddenly.
"Xiaotong, since Lord Zhu Ren has made an offer, he is a guest. Don't be rude." However, not far away, Wu Yuan's faint voice came.
Hotong frowned slightly.
"Is Master Qianshan scared?"
"I'm afraid so." Everyone didn't find it surprising; ordinary witches might not dare to offend Master Qianshan, after all, the status of a master stone carver was still high.
But Zhu Ren?
"Haha, I told you, Master Qianshan is very good at handling things."
Zhu Ren's smile became even brighter, and he stared at Hotong with a lecherous look, saying, "In auctions, the highest bidder wins. I'll leave ten thousand source crystals and take everything with me. Someone, bring the stone sculpture back for me, and the person too..."
"Be polite to guests." Wu Yuan's calm voice continued, "Just leave him a whole body."
"Yes, Young Master." Hotong's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
The onlookers were all stunned.
A whole body?
Did they hear it correctly?
"What?" Zhu Ren was also stunned, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
His attendants were equally bewildered.
"How dare you play tricks on me? Leave me a whole..." Zhu Ren was about to explode, but suddenly a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Because.
"Boom!"
"You want me? I'll give you!" The once harmless maid in the red dress had cold eyes as she suddenly slapped out.
As fast as lightning.
