Primordial Era: I, Huanglong, have refined all the heavens, and will not join the Chan Sect.

Chapter 83 Houtu's Breakthrough, the Witch Clan's Fortune Increases

More than seven thousand years have passed since the second sermon at Zixiao Palace.

Before leaving the prehistoric world for Zixiao Palace, Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and other high-ranking members of the Sun God Temple made numerous arrangements.

They instructed all the beings in the Temple of the Sun not to cause trouble before their return, and simply to guard the Temple of the Sun's territory.

Logically speaking, with Di Jun's arrangements, although the Temple of the Sun would find it difficult to expand its territory during this period, nothing should have happened.

The strange thing is that it's unclear whether there was a traitor within the Temple of the Sun, or something else entirely.

After Di Jun and other high-ranking officials went to Zixiao Palace, the conflict between the Sun God Temple and the Witch Clan intensified.

Furthermore, with the high-ranking officials of the Sun Temple absent, leaving only some Taiyi Golden Immortals and newly promoted Daluo Golden Immortals, they were repeatedly defeated by the Wu Clan, losing countless territories.

Now, a large number of beings from the Temple of the Sun have perished, and the two sides are gradually showing signs of becoming irreconcilable enemies.

Buzhou Mountain, Pangu Temple.

A terrifying pressure far exceeding that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal erupted from it, causing the world to darken and the sun and moon to appear dim.

Centered on Mount Buzhou, within a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers, thick clouds of turbid air rose up, benefiting many members of the Wu tribe.

It could mean that one's physical body becomes stronger, or that one can use this to break through to a higher realm.

Several divine shamans thus broke through to the level of Great Shaman, and their cultivation level was raised to Taiyi Golden Immortal.

There were even a few great shamans who broke through the barrier of Taiyi Golden Immortal and became Daluo Golden Immortal!

With their vital energies connected, all the eleven Ancestral Witches, whether scattered throughout the primordial world or remaining at Mount Buzhou, felt a connection and their faces lit up with joy.

"Has Houtu broken through to a higher level?"

"If Houtu can take that crucial step, my Wu Clan will surely become the true rulers of the primordial world, and the Sun Temple and the Celestial Court will have to obediently submit to us!"

"Hahaha, the primordial world was created by the Father God, how could it not favor my Wu tribe?"

"Even Houtu has broken through, so we have to step up our efforts and not hold her back."

……

A hearty laugh echoed across the land, and the eleven ancestral witches were genuinely happy for Houtu.

Even Zhu Jiuyin, who had been dwelling deep within the Pangu Palace for many years and had never cared about the affairs of the primordial world, opened his eyes, which had been closed for tens of thousands of years, at this moment.

In an instant.

Mysterious divine light illuminated the entire secret chamber, and a golden dragon, hovering above Mount Buzhou, appeared in his eyes.

"Huanglong..."

Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, besides Houtu, there was another person who received the blessings of Pangu from the very beginning of his life, and that was Zhujiuyin.

Within the ruins of Pangu, he saw visions of the future of the Wu tribe and comprehended the most profound Dao of Time.

He knew very well that if they followed their predetermined fate, the witch clan would only face near extinction.

He has been entrenched in the Pangu Temple for years, trying to deduce a way to save the situation.

But once fate has been decided, how easy is it to change it? Even just preserving a few more members of the witch clan's bloodline would be of utmost importance.

Now, he saw that glimmer of change, even if it was just a sliver, it could potentially alter his destiny.

Unfortunately, after seeing this slight change, Pangu's legacy automatically dissipated into the world, concealing this possible change.

From then on, Zhu Jiuyin lost the possibility of using this legacy to open the gate of Hunyuan.

Even so, Zhu Jiuyin was overjoyed. He was willing to make this sacrifice as long as he could change the predetermined fate of the Wu Clan and save the lives of his brothers and sisters.

Then, Zhu Jiuyin opened his eyes, walked out of the Pangu Palace, stood at the gate, and looked up at the sky.

Now that we know the variable that could change the fate of the Wu tribe, we cannot speculate on this matter too much, lest someone with ulterior motives seize upon the secrets of heaven.

……

In the Pangu Hall, in Houtu's room.

Houtu, who had been in seclusion for over seven thousand years, awoke leisurely, her eyes gleaming with divine light, revealing the profound truths of the Great Dao.

If an ordinary Taiyi were to gaze into his eyes, he would fall into a state of enlightenment and break through in his cultivation.

"Alas! How can I ever repay this karmic debt..."

After a long while, Houtu sighed deeply, with gratitude and sorrow in her voice.

After absorbing the legacy of Pangu, Houtu successfully pushed open the gate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, saw the mysterious scene behind the gate, and squeezed half of her body inside.

Her current cultivation level is considered to be half a step into the Primordial Chaos realm, and she has officially embarked on the path to enlightenment.

His strength is between that of a Quasi-Saint and a Saint, slightly stronger than a Quasi-Saint and slightly weaker than a Saint.

Without the emergence of a sage, unless one possesses an innate treasure, even a quasi-sage would find it difficult to contend with him.

In addition to the improvement in strength, Houtu pushed open the gate of Hunyuan, becoming the first being in this era to witness the scenery of Hunyuan.

A unique fortune descended upon the primordial world, causing the fortune of the entire Wu Clan to surge, resulting in a significant increase in the Wu Clan's strength.

And all of this stemmed from Huanglong's advice.

Such a huge karmic debt is something even Houtu doesn't know how to repay.

More importantly, even if she knew how to repay this karmic debt, she couldn't find the Yellow Dragon.

The reason is simple: when Huanglong left Buzhou Mountain last time, he did not tell Houtu where he was going or where his Daoist temple was located.

The only thing Houtu knows now is that Huanglong is a member of the dragon clan; she knows nothing else about Huanglong.

"Alas! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let him leave Buzhou Mountain. Now we can only wait for him to reappear..."

Houtu sighed helplessly again, even though she really wanted to mobilize the power of the Wu tribe to find the whereabouts of Huanglong.

However, she also knew that Huang Long must have had some concerns about not revealing the location of her dojo. If she searched extensively, she might displease Huang Long.

With this in mind, Houtu had no choice but to give up and continue her seclusion to consolidate her cultivation.

Beyond the heavens, the Purple Cloud Palace.

The sage Hongjun, who was sitting cross-legged on the high platform, suddenly felt a ripple in his heart.

His consciousness descended into the primordial world, looking towards Mount Buzhou. He saw the explosive fortune of the Wu Clan and sensed the aura that Houtu had released after opening the gate of primordial chaos. His heart was filled with complex emotions, a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The reason for our concern is that the first being to push open the gate of chaos in this era was actually a member of the Wu tribe.

Even though he had only pushed open the door and squeezed half his body inside, having just embarked on the path of Hunyuan, and was still far behind him, the result was still beyond his expectations.

The same applies to the reason for joy; sometimes, changes are not all bad.

If everything followed a predetermined fate, then the primordial world would not be complete.

The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Cycle is forty-nine, and one is hidden away.

This variable is the one that has vanished. Only by allowing this variable to appear can the Heavenly Dao become more and more perfect, and the authority of this Heavenly Dao Saint in the prehistoric world will become more and more powerful.

The only problem is that the Witch Clan has produced a half-step Primordial Realm expert, whose strength has been greatly enhanced.

This would increase the pressure on the demon race. If the demon race were to be completely defeated and the witch race were to become the dominant force, Pangu's influence in the prehistoric world would also rise, which would be detrimental to Hongjun's plans.

"It seems we need to give the demon race more help. However, that Yellow Dragon is being far too cautious. We must proceed with the dragon race's affairs gradually."

Sage Hongjun withdrew his thoughts and continued to preach the Great Dao.
