Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 44 Pan Huang establishes the Human Religion, Lao Tzu establishes the Demon Religion, and the Age of Saints arrives.

While Lao Tzu was traveling through the primordial world, things were also bustling on the shores of the East Sea. Pan Huang had told the ancestral witches that he was preparing to establish a religion called the Human Religion.

The purpose of establishing the Human Religion was primarily to better educate and civilize the human race, making it stronger.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches wholeheartedly agreed. Their witch clan was now bound to the human race; as the human race grew stronger, their witch clan would also grow stronger accordingly.

The new generation of witches is now surpassing the older generation. According to Pan Huang's conjecture, some of the older generation of witches will enter the underworld when Hou Tu undergoes reincarnation, while the rest will die in the third war between the witches and demons.

The new generation of witches will be completely integrated into the human race, while the ancestral witches will enter the underworld after the third battle between the witches and demons, and from then on, they will silently guard the primordial land in another place.

As for the new generation of the Wu tribe, Pan Huang had already given them a name: the Jiuli tribe, which was the name Chi You used for the Wu tribe in his previous life.

"Thirteenth brother, everything is ready," Shebishi said to Panhuang.

In fact, today Pan Huang not only wants to establish the Human Religion, but also the Lingbao Clan. He wants to use the merit of establishing the religion and creating the Lingbao Clan to generate a primordial spirit.

"By the Great Dao, I am Panhuang, a descendant of Pangu and a member of the Wu tribe. When the human race was first established in the primordial world, I was revered as the Holy Teacher of the human race. During my travels among the human race, I felt the weakness of the human race and created the Golden Core Dao, which I then passed on to the human race. Now, in the name of the Holy Teacher of the human race and the Ancestral Wu Panhuang, I establish the Human Religion in order to educate the human race and pass on the laws of the Great Dao. Our Human Religion uses the innate treasure, the Kongtong Seal, to suppress the fortune. I humbly request the Great Dao to witness this!" Panhuang stood on the altar and shouted loudly, and his voice instantly spread throughout the primordial world.

In the Purple Cloud Palace, after hearing Pan Huang's words, Heavenly Dao Hongjun immediately stood up from the futon, and for the first time, anger appeared in his eyes.

The position of leader of the Human Cult belongs to Laozi, which was predetermined by the Heavenly Dao Hongjun long ago. However, it has now been usurped by the Wu Clan. How could the Heavenly Dao not be angry?

Just as the Heavenly Dao was about to intervene, an extremely powerful aura emanated from the depths of chaos. This aura was very similar to that of Pangu, but it was even more powerful and ancient. This was the aura of the Great Dao.

After the aura of the Great Dao appeared, Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao, immediately wilted. He was merely a product of the Primordial World, while the Great Dao was a product of Chaos, and there was simply no comparison between them.

After the aura of Tiandao Hongjun weakened, a smile flashed in his eyes. Clearly, Xuanmen Hongjun had appeared. However, this smile did not last long, and Hongjun's face returned to its indifferent expression.

"Accurate!" The voice of the Great Dao echoed throughout the primordial world.

Immediately afterwards, a small cloud of merit appeared above Pan Huang's head. Upon seeing this cloud of merit, Pan Huang's eyes widened.

"Hiss! Great Dao Merit, this is actually Great Dao Merit, what's going on?" Pan Huang was a little confused. Shouldn't it normally be Heavenly Dao Merit? How come this is Great Dao Merit!

However, Pan Huang immediately understood. Their Wu clan did not respect the Heavenly Dao or the Primordial World. They respected the Great Dao and revered Pangu. It would be a miracle if the Heavenly Dao could bestow merit upon them.

This cloud of merit and auspiciousness was not large, but it was much stronger than the merit of the Heavenly Dao. This alone was enough to make a person a saint. However, Pan Huang still did not choose to absorb it, but stored it away.

After the Great Dao's merits descended, the Heavenly Dao's merits followed, but these Heavenly Dao merits were very few, so few that they only fell upon all of humanity, while Pan Huang did not receive a single bit.

However, he didn't care. After all, he was receiving the merits of the Great Dao, so whether he received the Heavenly Dao merits or not didn't matter.

After the establishment of the Human Sect, 30% of the human race's fortune was instantly bestowed upon Pan Huang. When he had previously instructed Nuwa to create humans, he had already received 10% of the human race's fortune through his own essence and blood and the Kongtong Seal. Now that the Human Sect has been established, he has received another 30%, and Pan Huang now controls 40% of the human race's fortune.

This is more than the fortune of the human race that Lao Tzu controlled when he established the Human Religion, something Pan Huang had not expected.

Nuwa in the Nuwa Palace did not expect that Panhuang would take away 30% of the human race's fortune, but in the end she did not say anything, after all, the human race is what it is today thanks to Panhuang.

Laozi, who was traveling across the primordial land, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, his connection with the human race was completely severed.

Because Lao Tzu's relationship with the human race was completely severed, he didn't understand why he was vomiting blood. In the end, he found a reason for himself: perhaps it was because he wanted to become a saint too much, or perhaps it was because he resented the witch race, which caused him to be so anxious after they established their religion.

However, after spitting out that mouthful of blood, a very clear message appeared in Laozi's mind: go and see the demon race, see what their current state is like.

Following the message in his mind, Laozi randomly chose a demon tribe in the prehistoric world and entered it, and then began to travel among the demons.

Upon hearing Pan Huang's words, Yuan Shi in Kunlun Mountain and Tong Tian in the East Sea also entered a state of enlightenment.

Tongtian was moved away when Laozi was traveling through the prehistoric world, mainly because he could no longer tolerate Yuanshi's contempt for him and his disciples.

Pan Huang, after establishing the Human Sect, spoke again. This time, he established the Spirit Treasure Clan, which meant that since their birth, very few Spirit Treasures have cultivated into humans, and most of them have become weapons in the hands of prehistoric cultivators.

Pan Huang felt that it was not easy for primordial spiritual treasures to be born, and even more difficult for them to take human form. Therefore, he created the Divine Forging Law with his own soul law and the law of weaponry as the core, and forged the spiritual treasure race. From then on, any spiritual treasure that was born with intelligence in the primordial world could become a spiritual treasure, learn the laws of the spiritual treasure race, and ultimately pursue the Great Dao.

The Great Dao responded very quickly this time. After all, Pan Huang had essentially created another law outside of the three thousand Great Dao laws, which was a good thing to enhance the power of the Great Dao, so of course the Great Dao was willing to accept it.

Soon, the Great Dao Merit descended. Pan Huang looked at the Great Dao Merit the size of a millstone in front of him, and his smile almost stretched to the back of his head.

Not only Pan Huang, but all the artifact spirits created by Pan Huang received the merits of the Great Dao. Si Teng broke through to the top-grade innate spiritual treasure with the help of the merits of the Great Dao, while Zhong Ling broke through to the innate supreme treasure.

The reason she is so special is that Zhong Ling used the merits of the Great Dao to assimilate the Chaos Bell and then directly devoured it, which is why she evolved into a Primordial Treasure.

Besides the two of them, the remaining clan leaders of the Artifact Witch Clan have all broken through to the level of Innate Spiritual Treasures. If cultivators in the prehistoric world saw this, they would definitely be astonished.

While they were still fighting to the death for a single acquired spiritual treasure, Pan Huang already had innate spiritual treasures everywhere, and acquired spiritual treasures were as cheap as dogs.

After Panhuang established the Lingbao Clan, the unclaimed Lingbao in the prehistoric world began to move. They transformed into countless visible or invisible streams of light and headed straight for Buzhou Mountain, because that was the main base of the Lingbao Clan.

In the demon tribe, Laozi saw Panhuang receive the Great Dao Merit for the second time, and an expression of enlightenment appeared on his face.

"I am Laozi, the Supreme Pure One of the Three Pure Ones. Today, I am traveling among the demon race and have seen that their lineage is mixed and that most of them worship beasts and instincts, bringing endless slaughter to the primordial world. Today, I will pass on the Demon God Law to the demon race and establish the Demon Sect, with the aim of educating the demon race and using the innate treasure Taiji Diagram to suppress their destiny."

"Establish the Demonic Cult!" Laozi said calmly, standing in the territory of the Blood Moon Demon Wolf.

His voice was very soft, but it immediately spread throughout the entire prehistoric world.

As soon as Lao Tzu finished speaking, a purple aura spanning 30,000 miles appeared on the horizon, followed by a surge of merit that poured directly into Lao Tzu and all the demon races of the primordial world.

After Lao Tzu gained merit, his aura began to rise. Before long, he broke through the shackles of the Quasi-Saint and entered another level.

"Is this what a sage is?" Lao Tzu murmured to himself, feeling the earth-shattering changes within his body.

After Laozi became a saint, a saintly aura immediately swept across the entire prehistoric world. Except for the Wu tribe, all living beings in the prehistoric world knelt down and called him the Great Purity Saint.

In Nuwa's Palace, Nuwa's expression was rather unpleasant. Just as Laozi became a saint, he instantly seized 30% of the demon race's fortune, which greatly displeased Nuwa. Although she didn't value the demon race's fortune much now, that was no excuse for Laozi to take it without asking.

"You will surely pay for this in the future!" Nuwa murmured to herself, looking towards a certain place in the primordial world.

In the primordial world, Lao Tzu, who had already become a saint, felt a prying gaze from the chaos and a bitter smile appeared on his face. After all, his actions could be considered theft. But the next second, Lao Tzu's expression returned to indifference.

It doesn't matter anyway. Sages have endless lifespans. I'll settle my karmic debt with Nuwa in the future.

When Laozi became a saint, Di Jun and Tai Yi were initially furious. But then they thought, Laozi established the Demon Cult to educate the demon race. Doesn't that mean he will be a saint of the demon race in the future? If that's the case, their demon race will have two saints. With the support of these two saints, how could the witch race possibly be their match?

Having figured this out, Di Jun no longer cared about Laozi sharing the demon race's fortune after becoming a saint; he even wanted to give Laozi some more fortune.

Currently, regarding the fortune of the demon race, Nuwa originally occupied 40% of it. However, due to Laozi's ascension to sainthood, 10% of it was stolen. Nuwa now only has 30%, Laozi has 30%, Dijun and Taiyi together occupy 30%, and the remaining 10% belongs to all the demon races.

After Laozi attained sainthood, the enlightenment in the eyes of Yuanshi and Tongtian on Kunlun Mountain and Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea became even stronger, and they also understood their own Dao.

"I am the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Three Pure Ones. I now establish a religion called Chan, which aims to follow the Way of Heaven, maintain the operation of the Way of Heaven, and suppress the fortune with the Pangu Banner."

"Establish the Chan Sect!" The voice of Yuanshi Tianzun appeared in the primordial world after Laozi's holy might subsided.

The next second, purple aura stretched for 30,000 miles, and auspicious clouds of merit covered the heavens and earth. The holy might of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable also appeared in the primordial world.

Those beings who had just risen knelt down again, calling him the Jade Purity Saint.

After Yuanshi Tianzun became a saint, the voice of Tongtian Jiaozhu also appeared in the prehistoric world. Upon hearing Tongtian's voice, the beings in the prehistoric world who were just about to get up knelt down again. Since they would have to kneel down anyway, they might as well do it this way and get up after it was over.

"I am the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Three Pure Ones, and I hereby establish a sect called Jie. The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is hidden. The doctrine of Jie Sect is to seize the last glimmer of life between heaven and earth, to teach without discrimination, and to strive for a chance for all living beings in the primordial world to glimpse the Great Dao! I will use the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to suppress the fortune of Jie Sect!"

"The Intercepting Sect, establish itself!"

After the Tongtian Sect Leader's voice fell, another 30,000 miles of purple aura and a vast expanse of merit and auspicious clouds appeared. After the merit and auspicious clouds disappeared, Tongtian's holy might permeated the entire prehistoric world, which made an excited expression appear on his face.

At the same time, there was a trace of barely perceptible killing intent on Tongtian's face. This was directed at Panhuang. Even after so many years, he still harbored killing intent towards Panhuang. Now that he had become a saint and possessed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, an idea slowly began to take root in his mind.

Even after the divine might of Tongtian disappeared, the creatures in the primordial world still did not rise up, because they knew that there were still two who had not yet become saints, so they decided to wait until they also became saints before making any moves.

In the west, on Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance. At this moment, the Primordial Purple Qi within their bodies had already merged with their primordial spirits. After Tongtian's holy might disappeared, they stood up.

After they stood up, golden light emanated from their bodies, and soon several phantom images of Buddhas condensed behind them. These phantom images exuded a faint Zen-like aura, and the Buddha light manifested the Western Paradise, where all kinds of beauty, boundless joy, and temptations flashed by.

Within this Buddha's light, bursts of Sanskrit chants emanated from the west, gradually reaching the ears of the people of the prehistoric world. These chants carried a strong intention to convert and guide them, as they actually attempted to convert the creatures of the East when they attained sainthood.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa had no intention of letting the two Westerners have their way. First, Nuwa snorted coldly, and then the Three Pure Ones also snorted coldly, which represented their dissatisfaction. When the Eastern sage spoke, the Sanskrit chant disappeared abruptly.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, their faces full of wry smiles, before their gazes hardened once more.

"Now I, Jieyin and Zhunti, together establish the great Western religion, evolve the blissful realm, and spread the teachings to all sentient beings."

As Jieyin and Zhunti finished speaking, the Buddha's phantom behind them opened its eyes, revealing boundless compassion. This caused many beings in the prehistoric world to suddenly yearn for the West.

"Hmph! All show and no substance, nothing to brag about!" Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly upon seeing the grand spectacle of the Westerners achieving sainthood.

Then Jieyin and Zhunti spoke again: "Our Western religion uses the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Innate Spiritual Treasure to suppress the fortune."

"Western Religion, Established!"

"Boom!"

Purple aura stretched for 30,000 miles, and the auspicious clouds of merit remained unchanged. However, after these clouds of merit condensed, they did not descend for a long time. They hovered in the west, as if they were hesitating.
