Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

As the essence of the Tongtian Jianmu (a type of ancient Chinese tree) flowed into the root system of the World Tree, the World Tree grew wildly, its roots spreading throughout the primordial earth veins. The earthly evil energy was completely purified, forming chaotic spiritual energy that permeated the primordial world.

The leaves at the treetops blocked out the sun, suppressing the riotous atmosphere.

Three thousand buds slowly unfurled, forming a magnificent, towering tree.

The World Tree continuously draws in the chaotic energy from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, purifies the violent elements, and then inputs it into the primordial world.

In an instant, the primordial energy surged wildly.

The five continents are expanding wildly.

The abundant spiritual energy poured down, causing many cultivators to break through their cultivation levels.

These strange phenomena only ended when the primordial world expanded a hundredfold.

"Buzz!"

As a soft chant arose, the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man trembled simultaneously, and the merits of the Heavenly Realm condensed, forming a cloud of merits that blotted out the sun.

Merit and virtue rapidly differentiated.

The largest portion flew into the Celestial Court and was incorporated into Qin Ming's Golden Wheel of Merit.

The remaining merit and auspicious clouds multiplied into countless forms and were divided among a group of powerful beings.

Thus, the cataclysmic disaster came to an end.

However, the powerful figures did not leave.

Why?

Because the Wu and Yao clans were both severely injured, the magical treasures of Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were scattered throughout this world.

You should know that there are more than a dozen innate treasures here, and there is also a witch-slaying sword that is comparable to an innate treasure. Who wouldn't be envious?

Especially Shangqing Tongtian.

The Jie Sect did not possess any suitable magical treasures for suppressing destiny.

The Chaos Bell is an exceptional treasure of fortune.

If this treasure is obtained, the lost fortune of the Jie Sect can surely be stabilized.

How could he not be envious?

Of course, Donghuang Taiyi did not die.

But it's unknown how many eons it will take for him to be resurrected.

At that time, their cultivation level will surely increase dramatically, so why should they fear Donghuang Taiyi?

"The twelve Ancestral Witch Palaces and the Witch-Slaying Sword, I want them."

Just as the powerful beings of the primordial world were getting restless, a large seal broke through the air and attacked.

The immense divine power caused the surrounding space to distort.

Even so, it was due to the surge in the primordial energy.

Otherwise, the space would probably have shattered by now due to the arrival of the Great Seal.

Upon seeing the spiritual treasure in the void, the expressions of the powerful figures changed.

"Daoist Master, isn't your action a bit too greedy?"

Yuqing Yuanshi couldn't help but speak first.

"You dare speak to me?"

Qin Ming's voice was cold, and the great seal transformed into a martial arts technique, shooting towards Yuqing Yuanshi.

Although Qin Ming's injuries had not yet healed and he had lost nine-tenths of his fighting strength, he was still not someone that Yuqing Yuanshi could withstand.

Even with Yuqing Yuanshi's full defense, he was still knocked back and coughed up blood.

"Fellow Daoist Jingshi, the Twelve Ancestral Witch Palaces can be given to you, but the Witch-Slaying Sword is not acceptable."

After a moment of silence, Hongjun finally spoke slowly.

Although his relationship with Qin Ming has improved considerably, it is no longer as tense as the Dao Wars of ancient times.

Moreover, he needs Qin Ming's help to completely break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.

However, in the struggle for destiny, Hongjun cannot afford to refrain from vying for it.

Although the Slaughtering Witch Sword was forged by Emperor Jun.

But it is closely related to the human race.

This matter concerns the treasure that enabled the Human Emperor to attain enlightenment; how could Hongjun not be cautious?

"There is no room for discussion. The Slaughtering Witch Sword was forged using billions of human gods. I am the Holy Father of the human race. Apart from Fellow Daoist Nuwa, no one is qualified to touch the Slaughtering Witch Sword."

"If Fellow Daoist Hongjun wishes to compete, he is welcome to try."

Qin Ming remains dominant.

Although he was injured.

But don't forget, he also has a statue in the Celestial Court.

With the help of the Chaotic Crystal Spider, it's still possible to fight Hongjun to a standstill.

With Nuwa by his side and Yangmei, who owed him a huge favor, he had no fear of Hongjun.

Hearing Qin Ming's forceful words, Hongjun frowned.

He wondered what other trump cards Qin Ming had up his sleeve.

Furthermore, why did Qin Ming not appear in person from beginning to end, and only speak through telepathy?

Was it held back by something, or was it for some other reason?

Just as Hongjun's eyes flickered, Ancestor Yangmei arrived, stroking his beard and smiling faintly:

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, it's been many years since we last met. You're still as anxious and indecisive as ever."

Looking at Ancestor Yangmei, Hongjun's pupils contracted:

"Fellow Daoist Yangmei?"

"You have actually returned to the primordial world; this truly surprises me."

The powerful figures present were immediately taken aback upon hearing this.

Especially Tongtian.

Seeing Yang Mei's appearance, he suddenly realized that it was Yang Mei who had given him guidance earlier.

You need to know who Yang Mei Patriarch is.

That was an ancient powerhouse from the same era as Qin Ming and Hongjun.

His strength is extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, Ancestor Yang Mei returned from the Chaos to the Primordial World and gained merit from the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, so he would not be regarded as an outcast by the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the Primordial World.

What does this mean?

This means that even if Ancestor Yangmei were alone and did not establish any power, he could still greatly influence the future growth of the prehistoric world.

"Hehe, all of this is just thanks to Fellow Daoist Jingshi."

Yangmei Patriarch stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's expression changed slightly.

Although he had suspected it beforehand, Hongjun was still shocked when he heard the truth.

Now Qin Ming not only has Nuwa by his side, but also Yang Mei, the ancestor.

There is also Houtu who has not yet appeared.

However, even with these three powerful figures, he could not hold the line alone.

Thinking of this, Hongjun sighed inwardly:

"Enough. The Twelve Ancestral Witch Halls belong to the Witch Clan. Fellow Daoist Jingshi is Fellow Daoist Houtu's Daoist partner. It is only right that we take these Ancestral Witch Halls."

"The Slaughtering Witch Sword was forged by billions of human gods. If Fellow Daoist Nuwa has no objection, then let's give it to Fellow Daoist Jingshi as well."

At this moment, he had no choice but to back down.

Firstly, he would need Qin Ming's help in the future.

If things get too tense with Qin Ming because of some innate treasures, it will be detrimental to future cooperation.

Secondly, Qin Ming has three powerful figures on his side, so even if a fight breaks out, he has no chance of winning.

In addition to Qin Ming's nine disciples, all of them except for Hong Yun and Kong Xuan, whose whereabouts are unknown, have attained the Primordial Chaos Realm.

His five disciples were equally extraordinary; even with the addition of the traitors Zhunti and Jieyin, the Three Pure Ones under his tutelage were no match for them.

In the event of a major war, one cannot prevail.

Rather than doing that, it's better to back down proactively.

Inside the Celestial Court, in the Palace of the Celestial Venerable.

A smile appeared on Qin Ming's pale face.

He knew that the old fox Hongjun would back down, so he used his holy power to communicate with the Martial Ancestor's seal and put away the twelve Ancestral Witch Palaces and the Witch-Slaying Sword.

Upon seeing that more than a dozen innate treasures had suddenly disappeared, the expressions of the powerful figures present changed constantly.

Of course, this only refers to the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti.

As for Patriarch Bodhi and the others, they were too embarrassed to continue fighting for the treasure.

After all, Qin Ming was their teacher.

Now that Qin Ming possesses most of the innate treasures, if they were to compete for them, it would likely provoke public outrage.

"Teacher, our Western region is barren, and our Three Pure Ones brothers each possess innate treasures. Why don't we brothers choose two of these three innate treasures?"

Zhunti looked at Hongjun with a bitter expression, lying through his teeth.

However, the Hongjun bird ignored him completely.

"Hmph, you traitors, what face do you have to contend for my Eastern treasure?"

"Teacher, these three treasures are the most precious artifacts of our East. Why not entrust them to our Chan Sect for safekeeping?"

"Our Chan Sect follows the will of Heaven and the Way, and will surely be able to make reasonable use of the three supreme treasures."

Yuqing Yuanshi snorted coldly, made a sarcastic remark, and then looked at Hongjun to reveal his purpose.

"Master, our Jie Sect lacks a treasure to suppress our destiny. I only wish to obtain the Chaos Bell. I hope you will grant my request."

Shangqing Tongtian couldn't wait to speak.

"Tongtian, do you even remember me as your second brother?"

"You dare to compete with me?"

Upon hearing this, Yuqing Yuanshi glared angrily at Shangqing Tongtian.

"Second Senior Brother, our Jie Sect lacks a treasure to suppress our fortune. There are three supreme treasures here. Do you intend to take them all for yourself?"

This matter concerns destiny, and Shangqing Tongtian will not yield an inch.

As Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian argued, the atmosphere in the arena froze once again.
