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

Pan Xuan was so immersed in this realization that he didn't know how much time had passed.

When he opened his eyes again, the light in them was even deeper than before, as if he had gained some ability to see the essence of the world.

He stood up, removed the surrounding restrictions, and looked towards the northwest of Wuyi Mountain.

There is also a primordial restriction there.

Pan Xuan transformed into a golden streak of light and flew towards the northwest.

For him, a distance of ten thousand miles was but a moment.

He landed in a more secluded valley, where the vegetation was much denser than before, with ancient trees reaching for the sky and vines intertwined, almost obscuring the heavens.

Deep in the valley, a waterfall cascades down from a great height, its roar echoing, and the spray forming a rainbow in the sunlight.

Pan Xuan's divine sense locked onto the location of the restriction, behind the waterfall.

Behind the waterfall's curtain of water, the entrance to a cave could be vaguely seen, but it was concealed by an invisible barrier. Without the blessing of a deity of law, it would be impossible to discover.

Pan Xuan flew to the waterfall, and the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler flew out from between his eyebrows and hovered above his head.

He held the measuring ruler and gently traced it across the layer of restrictions.

The light of Xuanhuang merit was like an invisible blade, cutting into the restriction.

This restriction is different from the restriction on the Falling Treasure Coin.

It is older, more resilient, and contains an inexhaustible power.

Pan Xuan used the power of the measuring ruler to search for the weak point of the restriction.

He discovered that although the power of this restriction was strong, its structure was not complicated; it was based on the power of life, forming a closed loop.

The restriction will collapse on its own once the cycle of life force is severed.

Pan Xuan concentrated his righteous energy onto the Measuring Ruler and precisely drew it toward the core node of the restriction.

The golden light intertwined with the light of Xuanhuang merit, transforming into a sharp blade that struck the node.

boom--

With a muffled thud, the barrier shattered, turning into countless specks of light that dissipated into the world.

The moment the barrier shattered, a rich spiritual energy surged out of the cave. Within that energy was a tranquil and profound power, seemingly capable of instantly calming one's mind.

Pan Xuan passed through the waterfall and entered the cave.

The cave wasn't deep, only a few dozen feet deep. Inside was a clear spring, its water crystal clear and emanating a faint spiritual aura.

Beside the clear spring, there grows a peculiar tea tree.

The tea tree was about three feet tall, with a bluish-brown trunk that resembled a coiled dragon.

The tree has a small canopy, but its branches and leaves are extremely dense, and each leaf is emerald green with a faint fluorescent glow.

At the top of the tea tree hang dozens of tender buds, which are golden yellow and stand out among the emerald green leaves.

The moment Pan Xuan saw that tea tree, a name immediately came to mind: Enlightenment Tea Tree.

This is a top-grade innate spiritual root, on par with the Four Symbols Banana Tree and the Innate Gourd Vine.

Its leaves can be used to make tea, which can induce a profound state of enlightenment and is highly beneficial for spiritual practice.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree is extremely rare; there are only a handful in the entire prehistoric world, and each one is priceless.

Pan Xuan gazed at the Enlightenment Tea Tree, a surge of indescribable joy welling up within him.

The Falling Treasure Coin is a concrete manifestation of the trading principles and a crucial part of his plan;

The Enlightenment Tea Tree is key to improving the overall cultivation speed of the Wu Clan.

With it, the disciples of the Wu clan can achieve twice the results with half the effort in their cultivation and break through bottlenecks more quickly.

He crouched down and carefully examined the roots of the Wudao tea tree.

The tea tree took root in the soil beside the clear spring, its root system extensive, extending several feet underground.

However, unlike the Four Symbols Banana Tree and the Innate Gourd Vine, the roots of the Enlightenment Tea Tree are not completely integrated with the soil, making it relatively easy to transplant.

Pan Xuan enveloped the entire tea tree with his righteous energy, forming a protective film to prevent any damage during the transplanting process.

Then he reached out and gently grasped the trunk of the tea tree, using his righteous energy to loosen the soil around the roots little by little.

His movements were gentle and precise, carefully removing every inch of the root system without causing any damage.

In less than half an hour, the entire Wudao tea tree was completely removed.

Pan Xuan held the Enlightenment Tea Tree in his palm, enveloping it with his righteous energy to prevent its spiritual essence from being lost. He turned and walked out of the cave, across the waterfall, and into the valley.

He set up a simple restriction again, sat cross-legged, and placed the Enlightenment Tea Tree in front of him.

He nourished the roots of the tea tree with his upright spirit, keeping it alive, while also thinking about where to plant it.

In front of the Pangu Palace, beside the Blood Pool, there are already Four Symbols Banana Trees and Primordial Gourd Vines.

There is the aura of the Father God there, and the primordial energy of the Blood Pool nourishes it, making it the best place for innate spiritual roots to grow.

If the Wudao tea tree is planted there, it should thrive.

Pan Xuan put the Enlightenment Tea Tree into his sleeve and protected it with his righteous energy and the divine law to prevent it from being damaged during the long flight.

He stood up, removed the surrounding restrictions, and prepared to leave Wuyi Mountain and return to Buzhou Mountain.

Just then, a jade talisman in his arms suddenly lit up.

That was a communication jade talisman left to him by the Twelve Ancestral Witches before they left, used for contact in emergencies. Pan Xuan took out the jade talisman and probed it with his divine sense.

From within the jade talisman came Di Jiang's voice, tinged with anxiety: "Brother Pan Xuan, we have found the Three Immortal Islands."

All three immortal islands are still there, but the innate restrictions protecting them are too profound; even the combined efforts of the twelve of us cannot break them. You must come to the East Sea as soon as possible; we will wait for you.

Pan Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

What level of restriction is it that even the combined power of the twelve Ancestral Witches could not break?

Dijiang and the others were already Hunyuan Golden Immortals, and they were connected to the Heavenly Dao by the Law Gods. With the combined strength of the twelve of them, even the restrictions of a Saint could be shaken to some extent.

The mystery of the restrictions that left them helpless is unimaginable.

Without hesitation, he put away the jade talisman, which transformed into a golden stream of light that rose from Mount Wuyi and flew eastward.

The treasure coins have been obtained, and the enlightenment tea tree has been harvested.

The trip to Wuyishan was a complete success.

But in the East Sea, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are still waiting for him. The restrictions on the Three Immortal Islands need to be broken by him.

Pan Xuan flew while pondering in his mind.

The restrictions on the Three Immortal Islands are likely not ordinary innate restrictions, but rather some kind of more mysterious formation.

Although the Twelve Ancestral Witches are powerful, their strengths lie in the power of laws and physical strength, and they do not have in-depth knowledge of formations and restrictions.

But he is different. He possesses the Primordial Measuring Ruler, the Righteous Qi Technique, and the Laws of Gods. He also has a profound understanding of the execution rules of the Heavenly Dao, making breaking restrictions his forte.

Golden streaks of light pierced the sky, passing through clouds, mountains, and vast stretches of land.

Pan Xuan's Righteous Qi Technique was running at full power, keeping him at his peak condition.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler hovered above his head, casting a beam of profound yellow light that completely concealed his aura, preventing anyone from noticing him.

In his sleeve, the Enlightenment Tea Tree lay quietly, its roots protected by its righteous energy, maintaining its vitality.

Within his dantian, the Treasure Coin slowly rotated, its golden light intertwining with his righteous energy, and the power of the trading law was gradually merging with him.

Pan Xuan sped eastward, silently calculating in his mind.

The restrictions on the Three Immortal Islands could not be broken even by the combined efforts of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

What he needs to do is not to break through with force, but with skill.

The measuring power of the Heavenly Ruler can penetrate the weaknesses of all restrictions.

The righteous power of the awe-inspiring spirit can restrain all evil seals; the deities of the laws are connected to the Heavenly Dao and can sense the flow of the Heavenly Dao's power within the restrictions.

If we combine these three factors, we should be able to find a solution.

Pan Xuan increased his speed to the limit, and a long trail of golden light left in the sky.
