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

Eleven cultivators transformed into giants, their domineering aura spreading outwards.

The primordial cultivator, aided by his supernatural powers, looked at the eleven cultivators and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"Such a powerful physical body, such intense killing intent!"

"Who exactly are they?"

"Wow, they're incredibly strong! If all eleven of them joined forces, even a peak-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't be a match for them, would they?"

"We are the twelve ancestral witches of the true lineage of Pangu!"

"I am Dijiang!"

"I am Zhu Jiuyin!"

"I am Jumang!"

"I am Zhurong!"

"I am Ru Shou!"

"I am Gonggong!"

.........

As Dijiang and others made their announcement, the entire prehistoric world instantly erupted in excitement.

"Hiss, so they were the Ancestral Witches!"

"So, does that mean they have a close relationship with the Pure World Daoist Master?"

"Yes, Houtu often followed the Pure World Daoist. Back then, the Five Elements Daoist and others joined forces to try to seize Houtu's treasure. It seemed that Houtu was about to give up, but it was the Pure World Daoist's treasure, the Beginningless Bell, that saved Houtu's life!"

"Who says otherwise? The Beginningless Bell is the Pure World Dao Venerable's most treasured possession. The fact that he was willing to lend it to Houtu shows how important Houtu is to him."

"These twelve Ancestral Witches are not only powerful in cultivation, but they also have such strong backing. Who in the prehistoric world would dare to provoke them now?"

Kunlun Mountain.

As the cultivators discussed amongst themselves, Yuqing Yuanshi's expression darkened: "Eleven mere brutes, how dare they claim to be the true descendants of Pangu?"

"Silence!"

"They are Houtu's people, and Houtu has a close relationship with the Pure World Daoist. Offending them could very well incur the Pure World Daoist's displeasure!"

Upon hearing this, Taiqing Laozi's expression turned gloomy.

He also looked down on the Eleven Ancestral Witches. If it weren't for their close relationship with Qin Ming, he might have taught them a lesson if they met again in the future.

But things are different now.

Qin Ming was the first person to attain enlightenment after the creation of the world.

Such a powerful being is not someone they can afford to offend for the time being.

"If our eldest brother doesn't agree, second brother, we should just bear with it for now."

"The Venerable Pure World said that he would begin preaching in five thousand years. Judging by the time, it's about time. Why don't we go and listen to his teachings?"

Upon hearing this, Shangqing Tongtian nodded in agreement and then made a suggestion.

"good!"

Yuanshi, who was already unhappy, felt even more annoyed when he saw Shangqing Tongtian also criticizing him.

The suggestion from Shangqing Tongtian is good; by listening to the great beings preach, they can also gain great benefits.

So, he immediately suppressed his displeasure and, like Laozi, agreed.

Having reached a consensus, the group sped off towards the East China Sea.

On Mount Buzhou.

"Brother, why don't we go together to listen to the Pure World Daoist Master's sermon?"

A stunningly beautiful woman with a human head and a snake's body looked at the man carrying a zither and asked him a question.

"The first great man to preach the truth will surely benefit us greatly from his teachings. However, it will not be easy to hear such a great man preach. We still need to make some preparations."

After thinking for a moment, the man nodded.

At the same time, a host of innate deities who had emerged from the primordial world, as well as those veteran powerful beings, activated their divine abilities and sped toward the East Sea.

In an instant, cultivators throughout the entire prehistoric world, regardless of their cultivation level, all merged into the torrent and rushed frantically toward the East Sea.

However, when they reached the edge of the East China Sea, they were shocked to find that the East China Sea had changed drastically.

"Hiss, Chaos Tide, how could this place be covered by Chaos Tide?"

"Yes, such a terrifying chaotic tide. If one rashly steps into it, one's Dao body may be shattered by the chaotic tide, leaving neither the primordial spirit nor the true spirit. What should we do?"

"I'll give it my all to hear the sermon!"

A cultivator gritted his teeth, channeled his magic power to protect himself, and stepped into the area.

The next moment, the cultivator was submerged in the chaotic tide.

"Holy crap, is he dead?"

"No, look, he's been moved over there!"

"I think I roughly understand what the Pure World Daoist Master means!"

Some of the cultivators who witnessed this scene understood immediately. They stepped into the chaotic tide and walked steadily through it, letting the chaotic tide wash over them.

As they advanced, the surrounding chaotic energy transformed into illusions, constantly tempting them.

At the same time, it evokes their deepest fears or their greatest joys.

This situation caused the expressions of the cultivators to change constantly.

The Three Immortal Islands of Chaos.

"You all go and set up the altar. When the time comes, close the great formation."

Looking at his disciples, Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"Houtu, go and explore on your own. I need to make some arrangements before going into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation. When the five thousand years have passed, I will emerge from seclusion to preach."

After giving an instruction to Houtu, he summoned the Heart Refining Tower and formed a series of complex hand seals.

"Primordial Chaos, guiding the tides, refining the spirit of the heart, condensing the Dao fruit, the Thirty-Six Chaotic Heart-Refining Arrays, activate!"

As Qin Ming made his move, the East Sea was enveloped by a vast, chaotic tide.

These chaotic tides, though not as violent as the chaotic air currents of the Outer Heavens.

It can be used in conjunction with the Innate Merit Treasure, the Heart Refining Tower, and its power remains considerable.

This formation is more than a hundred times more powerful than the Path to Heaven he had previously set up.

After all, he wanted to see if he could find a suitable disciple during this sermon.

Therefore, this Heart Refining Array can be considered a preliminary screening.

After doing all this, Qin Ming summoned the Chaos Pearl fragment and the Chaos Pearl, fusing the essence of the two Chaos Pearls.

At the same time, he multitasked, taking out three lotus platforms and placing them into the Chaos Lotus Platform, returning to their origin, and slowly merging them into the Twenty-Four Pure World White Lotus.

As Qin Ming's cultivation level rose to the level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, the speed at which both the Chaos Pearl and the three lotus platforms returned to their original state increased significantly.

As time passed, in just 1,500 years, the two Chaos Pearls completely merged together.

"A low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, containing twelve Chaos Divine Restrictions!"

Looking at the Chaos Pearl that radiated immense divine power, a glint appeared in Qin Ming's eyes.

With this Chaos Treasure, his combat power will increase dramatically.

"We still have some time, so let's use this time to refine some of the restrictions!"

After secretly calculating for a while, Qin Ming found that there were still several hundred years left. So he stopped being distracted and began to circulate his magic power to focus on refining the Chaos Divine Restriction contained in the Chaos Pearl.

Compared to the innate divine restrictions, the chaotic divine restrictions are undoubtedly more difficult to refine.

Fortunately, Qin Ming has already advanced to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, and his life level has undergone a fundamental change. Even his magical power now carries a trace of divinity.

Therefore, although the process of refining the Chaos Pearl was difficult, it was still possible to completely refine the twelve Chaos Divine Restrictions.

Time flies.

As time passed, cultivators gradually passed through the Heart-Refining Array within the Chaos Tide.

The first cultivators to enter were Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Shangqing Tongtian.

Following closely behind the three were Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, Nuwa, Fuxi, and others.

As the five thousand years approached, tens of thousands of cultivators arrived at the Chaos Three Immortal Islands one after another.

Seeing the astonishing chaotic spiritual energy contained within the Chaos Three Immortal Islands, the cultivators' eyes burned with fervor.

"I am Bodhi, the chief disciple of the Pure World Venerable, and they are my junior brothers."

"Silence is required within the Three Immortal Islands of Chaos!"

Just as the cultivators were discussing this, Bodhi arrived with his junior brothers, including Hongyun, and unleashed his aura, ordering the cultivators to act.

"They're so strong!"

"Yes, as expected of the disciple of the Pure World Daoist Master."

"Who says otherwise? If only I could also become a disciple of the Pure World Daoist Master."

"You?"

"Forget it!"

Amidst the murmurs of the cultivators, a streak of blood-red light hurtled towards the platform: "I am Styx, greetings to Senior Brother, all Senior Brothers, and Junior Brothers!"
