I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 223 Where Does My Path Lead?

However, she soon realized that Ye Yang was from the future, so of course he knew.

"Ahem, Ancestor of Humanity, you only said you wanted the essence and blood of the Ancestral Witch, but you didn't say you wanted the power of the laws. Therefore, I am not breaking my promise."

"you"

Ye Yang's face was ashen, but he was unable to say anything at this moment.

"Fine, old man, you win."

After putting away the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, Ye Yang angrily rushed out, not even noticing the statue of the Tongtian Sect Leader as he passed by.

"You old geezer, why aren't you opening the door and letting me out? What? Are you trying to force me to fight?"

"Hahaha, no, there's no point in us fighting now, go on."

A vortex appeared in front of Ye Yang, and Ye Yang plunged into it. Watching Ye Yang's figure disappear, Hongjun laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, Ancestor of Humanity, you have planned so many things, but in the end, you still can't outdo Heaven. I want the throne of the Human Emperor, and I want the title of the First of the Five Emperors."

He had already sent a clone into the cycle of reincarnation, and now, upon closer inspection, he realized that it had been reincarnated and grown into an adult, and had already reincarnated several times.

Now, another clone has been sent into reincarnation. With one in the open and one in the shadows, it's hard to guard against. Moreover, once this clone enters reincarnation, it is divided into millions of clones, making it difficult to find.

However, the next moment, Hongjun's expression slowly turned serious.

"But the Ancestor of Humanity is indeed worthy of being called the Ancestor of Humanity. His nose is amazing. It seems that he has already discovered the secret of this Dao."

With a wave of his hand, a half-finished magic weapon appeared in his hand. If Ye Yang were here, he would definitely recognize that this thing was the long horn of that chaotic beast.

It is already faintly exuding the aura of a Chaos Treasure, and it will be fully completed in a few more days. At that time, Hongjun will truly no longer fear Ye Yang.

Hongjun glanced at the statue of Tongtian Jiaozhu beside him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Tongtian has already been suppressed by me. Even if I give you the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, what can you do? In the end, it will still return to my hands. So it won't be considered that I broke my promise."

After speaking, Hongjun turned and walked into Zixiao Palace.

Outside, Ye Yang stormed out of Zixiao Palace in a fit of rage and rushed straight into the depths of chaos, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Damn, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. That old bastard thought he had tricked me, haha, we still don't know who tricked whom."

The power of the Ancestral Witch's blood essence and laws was taken away by Hongjun, which further confirmed Ye Yang's conjecture. Hongjun wanted to take the path of proving the Dao through force in order to break free from the control of the Heavenly Dao, but it was destined to fail.

Hongjun didn't obtain the essence and blood laws of the Ancestral Witch Houtu. Even if he succeeded in enlightenment, so what? He would only have a half-baked power law.

However, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was different. She had already received the authentic inheritance of Pangu, and the Dao of Power was imprinted deep in her soul. Even if the Ancestral Witch essence blood given by Hongjun did not have the power of laws, it didn't matter, as Houtu possessed the complete inheritance.

The only thing needed now is the essence of the Ancestral Witches. Once the Pangu bloodline is activated, Houtu's true strengths will be revealed.

From that point on, Hongjun fell behind Houtu by a step, and the gap would only widen as time went on, just as the saying goes, "If you fall behind by one step, you will fall behind by every step."

Looking slowly towards the direction of the primordial wilderness, Ye Yang smiled slightly.

"You want the Human Emperor? Do you really think the Human Emperor is so easy to obtain? And you even dare to dream of using the human race's destiny to escape the Heavenly Dao? Heh, you're dreaming."

Ye Yang has already said that everyone should rely on their own methods. This statement is not without merit. Ye Yang has been planning for many years, and even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have been targeted. If Hongjun wants to intervene, he has no other way but to add a whetstone to the rise of the human race.

In the future, the destiny of Heaven will be attributed to the human realm. It's just unknown whether Hongjun will be so angry that he dies at that time.

Splash!

With a cloud of dust rising, Ye Yang headed straight for the deepest part of the chaos. After a long time, he finally saw Houtu sitting cross-legged and cultivating.

"Ye Yang, you've arrived. Did you bring anything?"

"I brought it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang waved his hand, and eleven Ancestral Witches' essence blood appeared before Houtu's eyes.

"Brother, sister, boohoo—."

In an instant, Houtu cried. The twelve ancestral witches shared deep emotions, and it was truly heartbreaking for Houtu to be the only one left alive.

"Don't cry anymore, melt away. From now on, your older brother and sister will be with you every moment."

"Um."

Houtu opened her mouth, and eleven streams of essence blood rushed directly into her body, but in the next instant, she was filled with boundless rage.

"Damn it, the power of the laws is gone! Hongjun, you bastard!"

Houtu was furious. Being stripped of her power of law was an unbearable humiliation, worse than being skinned alive. She suddenly stood up and was about to rush into the prehistoric world without regard for anything, but Ye Yang grabbed her.

"Calm down, now is not the time to be angry. The important thing is to quickly integrate and absorb the essence and awaken the Pangu bloodline."

Standing in front of Houtu, Ye Yang shouted:

"Don't let my efforts go to waste. There will be plenty of time to deal with Hongjun later. Improve your strength, otherwise you will be unable to defeat Hongjun in the final battle. Your brothers and sisters in the Yellow Springs will not forgive you."

These words forcibly calmed Houtu down. Tears of humiliation welled in her eyes as she looked towards the direction of the primordial wilderness, gritting her teeth as she spoke:

"Hongjun, I will not let you go."

Rumble.

Time passed slowly. Houtu and Ye Yang went to the depths of chaos to awaken their bloodlines. The essence and blood of the twelve Ancestral Witches gathered together, and Houtu's bloodline was activated again. Although she lost the power of the laws, the twelve Ancestral Witches were born of heaven and earth, and their baleful aura was still terrifying.

It seemed to come alive directly within Houtu's body, and a battle immediately broke out. However, it was suppressed by another terrifying aura and then forcibly merged together.

This aura is the trace of Pangu's aura that was previously fused into the body of Houtu Ancestral Witch. Now that the Father God has reappeared, how can the Twelve Ancestral Witches act rashly?

Splash!

At this moment, the body of the Ancestral Witch Houtu was like a surging river, with golden blood filling every part of her body, faintly tinged with purple.

Terrifying auras swept in all directions. Fortunately, this place was in the deeper part of the chaos; otherwise, with such fluctuations, the primordial world would have been doomed.

Seeing Houtu enter the transformation process, Ye Yang was in a great mood, feeling that the rise of humanity in the future was more secure.

With a single wave of his hand, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation appeared.

"Heh, so this is the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram? Sect Leader, you owe me a favor."

However, the moment Ye Yang took out the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, the Tongtian Sect Master's clone, who was practicing swordsmanship beside the corpse of the Chaos Beast, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hmm? This scent feels so familiar."

He looked in a certain direction, then stopped practicing his swordsmanship and transformed into a beam of light, heading straight for his senses.

Here, Ye Yang slowly put away the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram and sat down cross-legged.

"Now that Houtu has found her true path, and Tongtian Jiaozhu has also attained his own Dao and obtained the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, he will surely break free of his shackles in the future. So what about me?"

Ye Yang sighed and then sat down cross-legged.

"So where is my way out?"

Although I know that the only way out is to transcend, is transcendence really that easy? My origins are only innate. Although I am the Dao Ancestor of the Human Path, my own upper limit has already determined the limit of my growth.

The highest one can reach is the Dao Ancestor. So how can one forge one's own path? How can one truly transcend the Dao?

For a moment, Ye Yang felt lost and confused. He closed his eyes and pondered, his mind wandering into the void.

"Hmm? What is this?"

Suddenly, he saw that the lotus root of the Creation Green Lotus beneath the Great Seal of the Human Ancestor within his body was faintly growing a thin root. It was so small that it would be impossible to notice unless one was very careful.

"How could this be? Could it be..."
