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

At that very moment, flowers rained down from the sky and golden lotuses sprang from the ground.

In the sky, countless golden petals fluttered down, each petal containing the power of pure merit.

On the earth, golden lotuses emerged from the soil, each lotus exuding a profound Taoist charm.

The entire western land was shrouded in this miraculous phenomenon of merit.

The Great Way bestowed boundless merit.

The power of merit was as vast as the sea and as pure as a mirror. It descended from the sky, splitting into several streams, and fell upon everyone who participated in restoring the earth's veins.

Pan Xuan felt the arrival of that power of merit.

He could sense the immense purity of that power of merit.

This is a meritorious act of restoring a vast land, a meritorious act of allowing countless lives to be reborn; its magnitude is immeasurable.

He did not absorb it directly, but instead collected all the power of merit.

The power of merit flowed slowly through his body like a golden liquid, stored in his dantian, waiting to be refined in the future.

Seeing this, the Twelve Ancestral Witches made the same choice.

Although they do not possess the true form of the Xuanhuang Dharma, they know it.

Pan Xuan is currently deducing martial arts principles, and the power of these merits may be of great use in his future cultivation.

Even if it can't be used directly in martial arts, there's no harm in storing it.

Therefore, they all temporarily sealed the power of merit within their bodies and did not directly absorb it.

The differences are between Jieyin and Zhunti.

They didn't know why Pan Xuan and the Ancestral Witches didn't directly absorb the merit, but they didn't think much of it. They simply sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the power of merit that was descending upon them.

As the power of merit entered their bodies, their cultivation levels began to rise.

They were already at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, only one step away from becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal.

This power of merit is precisely the opportunity for a breakthrough.

The golden light shone brightly around Jieyin, and the law of gold became even purer under the nourishment of the power of merit.

His aura began to rise, slowly advancing from the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm towards an even higher level.

The same applies to Cundi.

His Wood Laws became even more profound under the nourishment of the power of merit, and his aura also rose, approaching the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

However, breaking through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm is not something that can be achieved overnight.

The power of merit only provides an opportunity; true breakthroughs require them to comprehend and understand it for themselves.

After absorbing the power of merit, the two stood up, looked at Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and bowed deeply.

"My benefactors, the restoration of the western ley lines is entirely due to your assistance."

The guide's voice was steady and sincere, and his eyes were full of gratitude. "I have no way to repay the guide, but I will always remember him."

Zhunti's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little choked up: "The West is our root, the home of countless Western beings."

"You have repaired the western ley lines, not only helping us but also saving countless lives. This kindness will be forever etched in my memory."

Pan Xuan stepped forward, gave a slight bow, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities."

The primordial world was transformed from the Father God Pangu, and maintaining the primordial world and repairing the Father God's body is the duty of our Wu tribe.

The restoration of the Western ley lines is beneficial to the primordial world and to ourselves; it's a win-win situation.

Jieyin shook his head and said, "That is true, but you have no relation to the West, yet you are willing to spend countless years here to repair the earth's veins."

How can we turn a blind eye to such a noble cause and such a great kindness?

He paused for a moment, then solemnly said, "From this day forward, you will all be my friends in the West forever."

Whenever and whatever the matter, if there is anything you need my guidance, I will do my utmost to help you.

Zhunti also solemnly replied, "Zhunti feels the same way. All of you benefactors will always be my friends in the West."

Upon hearing this, the twelve Ancestral Witches all nodded slightly.

Dijiang said in a deep voice, "You two fellow Daoists are very kind. The word 'friend' is enough."

Houtu said softly, "Although the western earth veins have been repaired, the recovery of spiritual energy will still take a long time."

"My two fellow Daoists will need to take good care of this land in the future, so that it can regain its former vitality as soon as possible."

Jieyin nodded: "Houtu, our ancestral witch, rest assured, the West is our root, and we will take good care of it."

Pan Xuan glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti, then at the Western land that had regained its vitality, and turned to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, saying:

"Brothers and sisters, the earth veins have been repaired, and we should return to the Pangu Palace. The martial arts deduction is not yet complete and should not be neglected."

Dijiang nodded: "Brother Panxuan is right. Let's go back to the Pangu Palace."

The thirteen people transformed into streaks of light, rising from the western sky and heading towards the Pangu Temple in the east.

Jieyin and Zhunti stood atop Mount Sumeru, watching the thirteen streaks of light disappear into the horizon.

"Senior brother, they are true benefactors," Zhunti said softly, his voice full of gratitude.

Jieyin nodded, his gaze distant: "The descendant of Father Pangu is indeed extraordinary. We in the West will never forget this kindness."

The two stood atop Mount Sumeru for a long time, until the thirteen streaks of light completely disappeared into the sky, before turning back into the mountain.

Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches traveled eastward and returned to the Pangu Palace.

The Pangu Temple still stands majestically in the embrace of Buzhou Mountain, ancient and vast, exuding an eternal aura that is as old as heaven and earth.

The Pangu Blood Pool in front of the hall still lay there quietly, its primordial energy intertwined and swirling with the golden light of merit.

The thirteen people landed in front of the Pangu Hall and filed in.

Pan Xuan stood in the hall, looking around, his heart filled with countless emotions.

This trip to the West was incredibly rewarding.

They restored the western earth veins and accumulated boundless merit.

The Merit and Profound Yellow Dharma Image has grown stronger, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches have also stored a large amount of merit power within their bodies, which can be used for martial arts deduction.

They befriended Jieyin and Zhunti, thus establishing good relations for the Wu tribe in the West.

Although these two are currently only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Pan Xuan knows that their future achievements are limitless.

Making friends with such a person would only benefit the Wu tribe.

They also witnessed the changes in the primordial world.

The Dragon-Han Great Tribulation has ended, and the struggle between the Dao and the Demonic has come to a close.

The Way of Heaven is about to be born. A new era is dawning.

Pan Xuan took a deep breath, looked at the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers and sisters, the matter in the West is over. Next, we will continue to deduce the martial arts."

Although the effects of the Heavenly Enlightenment Light have faded, the insights gained from the Heavenly Creation Diagram remain, as does the power of merit.

We need to strike while the iron is hot and quickly develop the path of martial arts.

Dijiang nodded: "Brother Panxuan is right. Martial arts deduction cannot be abandoned halfway. Starting tomorrow, we will continue our seclusion."

Zhu Rong laughed loudly, "Good! Repairing the earth's veins is tiring, but it has also given me a deeper understanding of the nature of fire."

Previously, I only knew that fire could burn, but now I know that fire can also create and repair the earth's veins. My Nanming Li Fire is not only heating the fragments, but also injecting vitality into the earth's veins.

This feeling of creation is completely different from anything I've experienced before.

Gonggong nodded and said, "Water is the same. When repairing the earth's veins, my Weak Water not only binds the fragments together, but also nourishes the earth."

I have never felt the power of water to bear and encompass so vividly.

Xuanming coldly said, "Ice can solidify the earth's veins, and it can also temper them."

Before, I only knew that ice could freeze; now I know that ice can also protect.

Houtu said softly, "Repairing the earth's veins has deepened my understanding of the earth's power."

The earth not only bears all things, but also connects all things.

The earth's veins are like the meridians of the land; repairing them is like unblocking those meridians. This feeling is completely different from before.

The other ancestral witches also nodded in agreement, clearly having gained something from the process of repairing the earth's veins.
