Primordial Era: The Witch Clan's Dog-Headed Strategist

Zhu Rong said nonchalantly, "Come on! I trust you!"

Gonggong nodded: "What need is there for us to have reservations?"

Xuanming coldly said, "Brother Panxuan, there's no need for further words."

Houtu said softly, "Go ahead and do it."

Dijiang stood up: "We believe in you."

Pan Xuan bowed deeply, walked up to Di Jiang, and placed his hand on Di Jiang's shoulder.

With the Righteous Qi Technique activated, a gentle and pure power seeped into Dijiang's body, flowing slowly along his meridians, exploring every acupoint and every drop of blood and qi.

Dijiang relaxed his mind and did not resist at all.

A moment later, Pan Xuan opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

He investigated Zhujiuyin, Zhurong, Gonggong, Xuanming, Houtu... in turn until all twelve ancestral witches had been investigated.

"Brother Panxuan, what's wrong?" Zhurong couldn't help but ask.

Pan Xuan took a deep breath and slowly said, "The innate Dao bodies of all my brothers and sisters have naturally opened the major acupoints throughout their bodies."

The ancestral witches were taken aback.

Pan Xuan continued, "Ordinary living beings need to use their qi and blood to impact each acupoint when refining their bodies, which consumes countless eons."

And you all—all three hundred and sixty-five major acupoints were completely unblocked from the moment they took shape, forming a perfect whole.

"The realm of body refinement is one that you are all born with perfect perfection."

Zhu Rong's eyes widened: "That powerful?"

Pan Xuan laughed and said, "It's not just about body refinement."

Each of you contains your own innate energy: fire, water, ice, earth, space, time... that is the power of laws brought by the essence and blood of the Father God.

These innate energies have already formed their own sea of ​​qi. At the level of qi refinement, none of you need to cultivate further.

He paused, his voice filled with admiration: "The acupoints are naturally open, and the Qi Sea is naturally formed."

"Your innate Dao bodies have already reached the pinnacle of body refinement and Qi cultivation. You can directly begin your journey into martial arts by cultivating your will."

Zhu Rong was overjoyed: "Great! I knew I couldn't possibly start from scratch like an ordinary person!"

Gonggong rarely showed a smile: "The body refinement and qi cultivation are now complete, so let's focus on refining the will and the Dao."

Houtu asked softly, "Refining Intent... how should one cultivate it?"

Pan Xuandao said, "There is no fixed method for cultivating intention. Everyone's intention is different, and their path is different."

But willpower needs tempering. Divine enlightenment inspires understanding, and the Heavenly Map broadens horizons, but willpower itself must be forged in battle, introspection, and adversity to become as strong as steel.

He looked at Zhu Rong: "Brother Zhu Rong, your intention is to burn all things, and also to temper all things."

The will of fire lies not in destruction, but in creation. The Father's axe strike was the purest form of fire.

Zhu Rong's eyes shone: "The fire of creation... the fire of tempering... I understand."

Pan Xuan looked at Gonggong: "Brother Gonggong, your intention is to submerge all things, and also to bear all things."

The will of water lies not in swallowing, but in embracing. The differentiation of clear from turbid is the essence of water.

Gonggong seemed to understand: "Bearing all things... I understand."

Pan Xuan looked at Xuan Ming: "Sister Xuan Ming, your intention is to freeze all things, and also to solidify heaven and earth."

The will of ice lies not in its coldness, but in its protection. The power of extreme cold is the force that stabilizes the four poles.

A flicker of emotion crossed Xuanming's cold and beautiful face: "Frozen heaven and earth... stabilized the four poles... I see."

Pan Xuan looked at Di Jiang: "Brother Di Jiang, your intention is to tear apart the void, and also to bear all things."

The will of space lies not in fragmentation, but in inclusiveness. From this point on, all directions find their home.

Dijiang said in a deep voice, "The all-encompassing emptiness... I understand."

Pan Xuan looked at Zhu Jiuyin: "Brother Zhu Jiuyin, your intention is to accelerate the flow of things, and also to witness everything."

The will of time is not to manipulate, but to record. From the very beginning of time, it has flowed eternally.

Zhu Jiuyin opened his cloudy old eyes and slowly said, "The long river that witnesses everything... well said."

Pan Xuan then looked at Ju Mang: "Brother Ju Mang, your intention is the intention to bring forth all things, and also the intention of the cycle of withering and flourishing. One withering and one flourishing is the way of heaven and earth."

Jumang's green robe trembled slightly, and he nodded without saying a word.

Pan Xuan looked at Ru Shou: "Brother Ru Shou, your intention is to show your sharpness to the fullest, and also to kill all things."

The essence of gold lies not in its sharpness, but in its restraint. The autumn harvest and winter storage are the very essence of gold.

The light on Ru Shou's golden robe flickered slightly, and he nodded.

Pan Xuan looked at Qiang Liang: "Brother Qiang Liang, your intention is the intention of thunder and lightning, and also the intention of cleansing the universe."

After the thunder, all things revive.

A look of understanding appeared on Qiangliang's sharp and capable face.

Pan Xuan looked at Xi Zi: "Brother Xi Zi, your intention is the intention of lightning speed, and also the intention of connecting heaven and earth. Between heaven and earth, only electricity can connect."

A faint electric crackle appeared on Xi Zi's face as he seemed to be deep in thought.

Pan Xuan looked at Shebi Shi: "Brother Shebi Shi, your intention is to corrode all things, and also to dissolve reincarnation."

After decay comes new life.

A rare hint of solemnity appeared on Shebi Shi's sinister face.

Pan Xuan looked at Tian Wu: "Brother Tian Wu, your intention is to sweep away all things, and also to be free and unrestrained. Between heaven and earth, only the wind is unfettered."

Tianwu nodded slightly, a hint of elegance in his eyes.

Finally, Pan Xuan looked at Houtu: "Sister Houtu, your intention is to bear all things and to encompass everything."

The will of the earth lies not in its heaviness, but in its compassion. The pure rises to become the heavens, the turbid sinks to become the earth; the earth bears all things, never rejecting any.

Houtu's eyes shone brightly: "The earth's mercy... encompasses everything... I understand."

Pan Xuan stepped back and looked around at the Ancestral Witches: "You have all completed the body refining and qi tempering."

Cultivating one's will and cultivating one's path are individual matters.

With the Heavenly Enlightenment Light and the Heaven-Opening Diagram in hand, it is the perfect time to deduce the way of martial arts.

Next, I would like to invite all my elder brothers and sisters to begin deducing their own path in martial arts.

Dijiang stood up and said in a deep voice, "Brother Panxuan has already shown us the way."

Everyone has their own path, but we can exchange ideas and verify each other's experiences.

From this day forward, they will all go into seclusion in the Pangu Hall to refine their respective martial arts.

Zhu Rong was the first to jump up, laughing loudly, "Good! I want to see just how refined my Will of Fire can be!"

Gonggong also stood up, revealing a rare fighting spirit: "The will of water carries all things. I will walk this path to the end."

Xuanming coldly said, "The will of ice can solidify heaven and earth. It's worth a try."

Houtu said softly, "The will of the earth, the mercy of the land. I will deduce it carefully."

Jumang, Rushou, Qiangliang, Xizi, Shebishi, and Tianwu all nodded, their eyes gleaming.

Pan Xuan felt a warm current surge in his heart as he watched this scene.

The exploration of the path of martial arts has only just begun. This path is long and arduous, but they have each other, trust, and a common goal.

The thirteen people sat down in the Pangu Hall, each closing their eyes and concentrating, and began to deduce their own path of martial arts.

During the long years when the ancestral witches were practicing martial arts in the Pangu Palace, the situation on the primordial land was undergoing drastic changes.

The war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans had already lasted for countless eons.

The three races stood in a tripartite balance, checking and balancing each other, with none able to completely defeat the others.

The Dragon Clan rules over the four seas and governs all aquatic creatures.

The Phoenix Clan rules the sky, and all birds pay homage to them. Their territory is located atop the immortal volcano in the south.

The Qilin clan rules the land, and all beasts submit to them.

Each of the three races has its own strengths and heritage, and although wars are constant, they have always maintained a delicate balance.

However, this balance is being disrupted.
