If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?.

Chapter 88 The Witch Clan Rises! The Great Calamity Begins

Xuanwu was filled with gratitude when he saw that Ao Bai had agreed to his request.

The Breakthrough Pill is extremely precious and has remarkable effects. If it can be refined again, the chances of breaking through Xuanwu's cultivation level in the future will be much greater.

"This elixir is not easy to refine, and I cannot guarantee success. You should be prepared."

Ao Bai solemnly stated that the refining of elixirs is by no means guaranteed to succeed, so failure is quite common.

Even the most precious materials will be wasted if the refining process fails.

Xuanwu had clearly planned everything before coming. He nodded and said:

"I am already extremely grateful that Your Highness is willing to refine pills for me. As for whether it will be successful or not, we will do our best!"

That's how it is with refining pills. The more powerful the pill, the more difficult it is to refine. And the ingredients for such pills are precious, so every failure is unbearable.

This is why high-grade pills are often extremely rare and hard to come by.

Ordinary alchemists dare not attempt to practice this method lightly, as a single failure could severely damage their vitality or even bankrupt them.

After making some preparations, Ao Bai immediately began refining the product.

When the Wind and Fire Furnace was taken out, Xuanwu's eyes lit up.

The aura of such a superior innate spiritual treasure could not be concealed at all, and Xuanwu naturally recognized it at a glance.

Xuanwu was shocked; he never expected that Ao Bai would have such a powerful alchemy furnace.

It should be known that innate spiritual treasures are already rare, and alchemy furnaces that can reach the level of top-grade innate spiritual treasures are even rarer.

"call!"

Ao Bai ignited the furnace fire, and billowing purple flames rose, causing the temperature in the entire alchemy hall to rise.

Ao Bai did not let Xuanwu leave, but instead allowed him to observe the whole process.

Even if you let a cultivator who doesn't understand alchemy look at it, he still won't be able to figure it out.

The alchemy furnace quickly reached the required temperature, and Ao Bai placed various materials into it one by one, in an orderly manner according to their order.

Ao Bai was already very experienced in refining the Breakthrough Pill. In addition, with his current increased luck and the aura of merit surrounding him, he was even more adept at refining it.

As the medicinal herbs continue to melt, the liquid begins to blend together and slowly condense.

The prototype of a Breakthrough Pill gradually emerged, and Xuanwu's eyes lit up with joy upon seeing this.

He dared not make a sound, afraid of disturbing Ao Bai.

Ao Bai was completely focused, as the final moment of the pill's formation was the most crucial test for an alchemist.

If you become complacent because of success, even a small emotional fluctuation could lead to eventual failure.

Fortunately, Ao Bai was experienced and did not place much importance on the [Breakthrough Pill].

He still had this kind of pill in his possession, so it seemed quite ordinary.

"Open the furnace!"

With a series of hand gestures, Ao Bai unleashed the power of the flames within the Wind and Fire Furnace, sending the furnace lid flying into the air. At the same time, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire hall.

"It's done!"

Xuanwu was thrilled. He had witnessed the entire process of refining the Breakthrough Pill, which excited him greatly.

The Breakthrough Pill floated above Ao Bai's palm, its faint glow spreading outwards.

Xuanwu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in gratitude, saying:

"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. The craftsmanship of these pills is truly divine. If it weren't for Your Highness's assistance, I would never have been able to possess such miraculous medicines!"

Xuanwu's words were true. In the entire prehistoric world, even Taiqing could not refine the [Breakthrough Pill]. This was Ao Bai's unique pill formula.

Ao Bai laughed:

"There's no need for formalities between us. The Yokogawa lineage is a unified whole, and helping each other is simply our duty."

Xuanwu was extremely grateful that Ao Bai could refine such a precious elixir and succeed on the first try.

If it were any other cultivator, they would definitely have to pay a hefty "fee" to refine such a pill.

Xuanwu put away the Breakthrough Pill, expressed his gratitude once again, and then got up to leave, clearly to return to his secluded cultivation and prepare for his next breakthrough.

Ao Bai didn't try to stop him. Refining pills was a piece of cake for him.

"This time, refining the Breakthrough Pill was much easier than before. It seems that luck and merit have helped me a lot, and this Wind and Fire Furnace has also played a key role."

Ao Bai secretly rejoiced that although they were being targeted by the Witch Clan, his own situation was gradually improving.

Since obtaining the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, everything has been developing in a positive direction, which once again proves the powerful role of luck.

After Ao Bai understood this point, he began to attach even greater importance to "luck".

"I need to improve my strength as soon as possible. Ten thousand years from now, the Purple Cloud Palace will be opened again. At that time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun will explain the Three Corpses Mystery Method. I can't miss it."

Ao Bai calmed down and continued to comprehend the "Nine Transformations True Dragon Technique".

This technique is his greatest reliance now, and he must hold onto it firmly.

While Ao Bai was in seclusion again, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were also secretly discussing important matters in the Pangu Temple at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

"Brother, our Wu Clan's twelve tribes have taken shape, with nearly a hundred billion members. In my opinion, we are already capable of ruling the primordial world!"

Zhu Jiuyin looked excitedly at the Ancestral Witch Dijiang, and the other Ancestral Witches all had the same expression.

Why did the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans dominate the prehistoric world in the first place? Wasn't it all for fortune and resources?

For the Wu tribe to grow rapidly, it must also have the support of good fortune and resources.

To obtain these, one must unify the primordial world.

Only by taking the primordial world into one's possession can one control all its destiny.

Hongjun Daozu opened the Zixiao Palace three times in order to gather the fortune of the prehistoric world, but his path was to spread the Dao, not to dominate.

Only he could walk this path; other races did not have such strength or prestige, so they could only take the path of domination.

The three clans of the past, and the Wu clan of today, are all like this.

Their goals are the same, and their paths are the same.

Dijiang Zuwu looked at his many brothers and sisters. Although he also wanted to use the luck to cultivate, he was more worried that the Wu clan would follow the old path of the three clans, which was a bloody lesson.

However, as cultivators, they all had a disbelief in evil. In the eyes of all the Ancestral Witches, they would never be as foolish as the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans of the past, who made a mess of their path to domination.

They firmly believed they could do better and thus avoid that situation.

Furthermore, with the Wu Clan now dominating the world, no other race in the prehistoric era can rival them.

This filled the Ancestral Witches with confidence, making them even more eager to dominate the prehistoric world.

After pondering for a long time, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang finally spoke:

"I know what everyone is thinking, but our unification of the prehistoric world is not for domination, but to better govern the prehistoric world for the Father God, to make the prehistoric world more perfect and stronger, and certainly not just for our own selfish interests!"

Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch, looked at the assembled Ancestral Witches. He indeed intended to govern the primordial world in place of the Great God Pangu.

This is the original aspiration of the Witch Clan, and it is also the key to their rapid rise in the early stages of the Lich War.

The Wu tribe has always considered themselves the legitimate successors of Pangu. They are proud of their bloodline and naturally do not want to destroy the primordial world.

In their view, the primordial world was created by the father god Pangu, and it was a "treasure" left to them. Of course, the Wu tribe would never destroy the primordial world.

Their initial intentions were indeed good.

"Brother is right. Our father has perished and transformed into all things in the primordial world. As the continuation of our father's bloodline, we should take it upon ourselves to govern the primordial world and maintain the development of heaven and earth."

Houtu, the ancestral witch, nodded in agreement. They both had the desire to govern and expand the prehistoric world, and the growth of the prehistoric world would also bring great benefits to the witch clan.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Dijiang Zuwu continued:

"Even if we establish a clan, our fundamental purpose is to govern the prehistoric world. We must never be like the three clans of the past, who only knew how to fight and kill each other, thus destroying the prehistoric world in the process."

Dijiang Zuwu was quite insightful, and his plan was excellent.

The Wu tribe was established to govern the prehistoric world more legitimately, which would also allow them to possess more fortune.

After some discussion, the Twelve Ancestral Witches decided to immediately announce to the prehistoric world that they would establish a clan to express their determination to rule the prehistoric world, govern the four directions, and establish their legitimate status.

The Wu tribe does not respect the Dao Ancestor, but only reveres Pangu, so they do indeed need a lot of luck to bless them.

Without the Taoist teachings spread by Zixiao Palace, they could only rely on the legacy of the Great God Pangu.

After the plan was finalized, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang first revealed his true form as an Ancestral Witch. He stood proudly between heaven and earth, displaying the grandeur of the great god Pangu.

The other eleven ancestral witches also revealed their true forms, standing side by side with the ancestral witch Dijiang.

"Today, we, the twelve Ancestral Witches, proclaim to all spirits of the primordial world the establishment of the Witch Clan, to rule the primordial world, to govern the four directions in place of the Father God, so that the primordial world may flourish day by day, and heaven and earth may prosper ever more. The Witch Clan, established!"

The ancestral sorcerer Dijiang made a proclamation, which was clearly seen by all living beings in the primordial world.

Many cultivators secretly cursed, strongly disagreeing with the words of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang.

"What merit or ability does the Witch Clan possess to rule the primordial world? I fear we will never have a chance to rise again!"

"Damn it, the Witch Clan has only twelve Grand Luo Golden Immortals, yet they think they can rule over so many powerful beings from all the races? They're just daydreaming."

Each living being expressed their discontent, but unfortunately none of them dared to stand up and directly confront the Witch Clan.

The power of the Wu Clan is such that none of the other races dare to confront them head-on.

On Kunlun Mountain, the three Qing brothers witnessed all of this, and their eyes were also filled with gloom.

These three brothers also considered themselves the true descendants of Pangu, but now the Wu tribe has taken the lead and wants to establish a tribe to replace Pangu in governing the prehistoric world.

How could this move possibly please the Sanqing brothers?

"Hmph, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! There are countless beings in the primordial world, among whom are numerous powerful ones. What merit do the Twelve Ancestral Witches possess!"

Yuanshi Tianzun scoffed disdainfully. Since the Wu clan dared to jump out and claim to be the true descendants of Pangu, weren't they going to compete with the three brothers for the title?

"Second brother, let's wait and see. The fact that the Wu Clan dares to be so high-profile will probably provoke a backlash from all the races of the prehistoric world. Let's stay on the sidelines."

Taiqing smiled faintly. He was thinking far ahead, so he was no longer worried.

"Brother, what you said makes sense!"

After a moment's thought, Yuanshi and Tongtian realized what was happening and their worries turned to joy.

On the Sun Star, Di Jun and Tai Yi were also paying attention to this matter. Seeing the Wu Clan establish themselves and rule over the four directions, the two brothers were furious.

They had always harbored ambitions to dominate the prehistoric world, but now the Wu tribe had beaten them to it, which made Di Jun resentful.

"Second brother, it seems we need to speed things up, gather fellow Daoists from all directions, and finalize our next plan as soon as possible."

Di Jun knew that missing the opportunity would lead to total defeat. The Wu Clan had already made a bold statement that if they were to sweep across the prehistoric world again, many powerful figures would likely switch their allegiance to the Wu Clan.

"Brother, let's invite fellow cultivators from all directions to come to the Sun Star to discuss important matters!"

Taiyi said that they had been planning for a long time, and now that the Wu clan had been established, this was a "tailwind" and the best time for them to act.

The establishment of the Wu Clan caused a great uproar in the prehistoric world. Even Hongjun Daozu in Zixiao Palace opened his eyes and looked deeply towards the direction of Buzhou Mountain.

After examining the area, Hongjun Daozu withdrew his gaze and fell silent once more.

Ao Bai, who was in the Henghe Water Palace, also learned about all of this immediately.

Sensing the aura of the Wu clan's founding, he sighed inwardly.

"The Lich War is about to begin again. The primordial world has not yet recovered from the severe damage it suffered last time. If it is tormented by this calamity again, it may truly be doomed to complete decline!"

Ao Bai shook his head repeatedly. Although he himself was barely able to protect himself, he felt very uncomfortable seeing the primordial world being destroyed step by step and being powerless to stop it.

Such a prosperous world was slowly destroyed and eventually became a land of degenerate age. What a tragedy!

That former glory is gone forever; even the great god Pangu would probably find it unacceptable.

The world he created through self-sacrifice ultimately decayed...

Ao Bai is powerless to change anything now, but if he had the ability, he would certainly prevent the tragedy from happening again.

Only a powerful world can give birth to powerful beings, and Ao Bai will not easily give up the opportunity to change things.

However, at this moment, the Wu tribe had no idea where their future lay, and they were cheering and jumping for joy.

Streams of heavenly merit descended, falling upon the twelve ancestral witches and all members of the witch clan.

They established the Wu tribe and governed the primordial wilderness with the aim of maintaining and expanding it. This was a meritorious act towards heaven and earth, so it was normal for them to receive rewards for their merits.

As waves of merit descended, the Ancestral Witches felt refreshed and clear-headed, with a hint of breakthrough in their cultivation.

"boom!"

At this moment, Dijiang Zuwu unleashed a powerful aura. His cultivation was already on the verge of a breakthrough, and now, with the support of boundless merit and fortune, his strength successfully broke through and he advanced to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Good fortune and merit are of great help to cultivators.

At this moment, Emperor Jiang, the Ancestral Witch, was even more determined to rule the prehistoric world!
