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

The moment he passed through the barrier, Pan Xuan felt a scorching power surging from all directions, as if it wanted to melt him.

On the surface of the Sun, golden flames surged endlessly, and the temperature was astonishingly high.

Even a cultivator at the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm would be burned by this flame if they did not have sufficient protection.

However, Pan Xuan was protected by righteous energy and possessed the meritorious Xuanhuang Dharma Image, along with the imperial power within him. Although these flames were intensely hot, they could not get close to him.

Pan Xuan traversed the surface of the Sun Star, unleashing his full divine sense in search of the Sun Star's primordial crystal.

The Sun is one of the most important stars in the sky. Its origin is extremely vast and is concentrated in the deepest part of the stars.

Pan Xuan did not want to alarm Di Jun and Tai Yi, so he could not collect a large amount. He could only take a small portion, enough to deduce the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

He descended, passing through layers of flames, and finally arrived at the core of the sun star.

There, a massive golden primordial energy floated in the void, radiating intense light, like a miniature sun.

Within that origin lies the pure power of the sun, extremely strong and yang, and incomparably hot.

Pan Xuan did not approach the core of that primordial energy, but instead carefully drew out a wisp of the sun's primordial energy from the edge, using righteous energy as a guide.

That wisp of origin, as thin as a hair, shimmered with golden light in the darkness, containing immense power.

He stored that wisp of solar essence into the spirit jade, and the golden light mist inside the spirit jade immediately became brighter and hotter.

Pan Xuan nodded in satisfaction, turned and left the core of the Sun Star, flying towards the exit of the restriction.

As he passed through the barrier, he took out a high-grade innate spiritual treasure from his sleeve that he no longer needed.

A small black flag, named "Xuanshui Flag," was acquired in his early years and had been left unused.

He used the Treasure-Dropping Coins as a means of communication and exchange, using the Xuan Shui Flag as "toll money" in exchange for the right to leave the restricted area.

The barrier reopened, creating a passage wide enough for one person to pass through, and Pan Xuan flew out smoothly.

The twelve ancestral witches were waiting outside. When they saw Pan Xuan come out, they all went forward to greet him.

Zhu Rong asked anxiously, "Brother Pan Xuan, how did it go? Did you get it?"

Pan Xuan nodded and patted the spirit jade in his sleeve: "I obtained a trace of the sun's essence, which is enough."

He then took out the Treasure-Losing Coin and informed the Ancestral Witches of the transaction results for the two top-grade innate spiritual treasures:

"The Fire Flag and the Dark Water Flag have been exchanged for the right to enter and exit the restricted area."

Although two top-grade innate spiritual treasures were lost, the value of the Sun's Essence far exceeds that. This deal is a good one.

Di Jiang said in a deep voice, "Brother Pan Xuan, the Sun Star has been dealt with, and the next one is the Moon Star."

Pan Xuan nodded: "There are restrictions placed on the Taiyin Star by Changxi and Xihe, similar to those on the Taiyang Star."

We will follow the same method, exchanging two top-grade innate spiritual treasures for the right to enter and exit the restriction, and obtaining a trace of Taiyin essence. Again, only one person can enter at a time.

He took out two unused high-grade innate spiritual treasures from his sleeve.

One is a cyan wood-attribute spiritual treasure called "Azure Wood Bead," and the other is a white metal-attribute spiritual treasure called "Taibai Blade."

These were all acquired during his early travels. Although they were precious, they were no longer of any use to him given his current level of cultivation and the treasures he possessed.

It's perfect for exchanging the restrictions on the Taiyin Star.

The thirteen people left the Sun Star and flew towards the Moon Star.

The Moon is located on the other side of the starry sky, echoing the Sun.

It is like a cool, clear jade plate, radiating a soft light that contrasts sharply with the heat of the sun.

On the surface of the Moon, silvery-white light flows like water, and the air is chilling, a stark contrast to the heat waves of the Sun.

Pan Xuan used the same method, employing the Falling Treasure Coin to communicate the rules of exchange, and exchanged the Green Wood Bead and the Taibai Blade, two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, for the right to enter and exit the Taiyin Star's restrictions.

A silver-white passage opened in the barrier, allowing only one person to pass through at a time.

Pan Xuan entered Taiyin Star alone, took a trace of Taiyin essence from the core of the star, and stored it in a spiritual jade.

That wisp of origin was silvery-white, cool and gentle, forming a stark contrast to the golden yellow of the sun's origin.

The moment the Yin essence entered the Spirit Jade, the golden mist and silvery light inside the Spirit Jade intertwined, forming a mysterious scroll of Yin and Yang in motion.

Pan Xuan observed the changes within the spirit jade and a thought struck him—the sun and the moon, one yang and one yin, two primal forces complementing each other. If they could be fused together, perhaps an even more profound grand formation could be deduced.

He left the Moon Star and reunited with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"We've obtained the essence of both the sun and the moon." Pan Xuan carefully put away the spirit jade and looked at the ancestral witches. "Brothers and sisters, how is the collection of stellar essences going?"

Dijiang took out the spirit jade: "Spatial Origin, Seven Paths."

Zhu Jiuyin took out the spiritual jade: "The origin of time, three paths."

Zhu Rong took out the spirit jade: "Fire attribute star essence, twenty-eight pieces."

Gonggong took out the spirit jade: "Twenty-six water-attribute star essences."

Xuanming took out a spirit jade: "Twenty ice-attribute star essences."

Houtu took out the spirit jade: "Thirty earth-attribute star essences."

Jumang, Rushou, Qiangliang, Xizi, Shebishi, and Tianwu also reported their harvests.

Of the 363 main stars in the Zhou Tian constellation, aside from the golden stars and the Ziwei Emperor Star which Pan Xuan was in charge of, the majority of the remaining primordial essences were collected by the Ancestral Witches.

Pan Xuan collected all the spirit jades and calculated the time.

More than nine hundred years have passed since I left the Pangu Temple.

There were still about a hundred years until the end of Hongjun's second sermon.

"Time is running out," Pan Xuan said in a deep voice. "Hongjun's second sermon will end in a hundred years."

Those powerful beings are about to return from Zixiao Palace. We need to return to Pangu Palace before they come back.

Dijiang nodded: "Let's go."

The thirteen people transformed into thirteen streams of light, rising from near the Taiyin Star and flying towards the primordial land.

Passing through the sea of ​​stars, through the fierce winds of the heavens, and through the clouds, the outline of Mount Buzhou gradually came into view.

The Pangu Hall stands majestically.

The primordial energy in the blood pool continued to rise, the Four Symbols Banana Tree and the Primordial Gourd Vine swayed gently in the breeze, and the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Yellow Plum, and Five-Needle Pine also thrived beside the blood pool.

The Creation Cauldron in the main hall exudes an aura of returning to one's origin, echoing the chaotic light of the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus.

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

Pan Xuan took out thirteen spirit jades and placed them on the stone platform in the main hall.

Within the spirit jade, hundreds of stellar primordial essences are stored, in colors such as gold, purple, crimson, deep black, ice white, and earthy yellow...

Various colors of light intertwined, illuminating the entire Pangu Temple as if it were daytime.

"The essence of the stars has been collected." Pan Xuan looked at the spirit jades and said slowly, "Next, we will deduce the Zhou Tian Star Array. This will take time and patience."

Before Hongjun begins his third sermon, we have three thousand years. We must make good use of these three thousand years.

Dijiang said in a deep voice, "Brother Panxuan, you will preside over the divination, and we will assist you from the side."

Pan Xuan nodded, put the spirit jade into his sleeve, and turned to look at the starry sky outside the hall.

The stars shone brightly, illuminating this ancient land.
