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

Pan Xuan put the first batch of dozens of array flags into his sleeve, then took out new spirit jade and spirit materials to continue refining.

The sun and moon revolve, and spring and autumn alternate.

Inside the Pangu Palace, the work of forging array flags never ceased.

After Pan Xuan finished refining each batch, he would put it into his sleeve and immediately begin refining the next batch.

His Righteous Qi Technique allows him to work without rest, the Merit and Profound Yellow Dharma Form ensures his inexhaustible magical power, and the Laws and Gods make his control over the power of stars increasingly exquisite.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were not idle either.

They took turns going out to collect more spiritual materials from Mount Buzhou for Pan Xuan's use.

Dijiang used his spatial powers to travel through various parts of Buzhou Mountain, extracting the rare spiritual minerals hidden deep within the mountain.

Houtu used the power of the earth to sense the spiritual veins deep underground and guided the essence of spiritual materials that had been nurtured for countless years to the surface.

Zhu Rong and Gong Gong used the power of water and fire to temper the spiritual materials, removing impurities and saving Pan Xuan a lot of time.

Five innate spiritual roots grew quietly beside the blood pool, their spiritual energy seeping in through the palace walls.

Intertwined with the stellar power surging from the Creation Cauldron, the cultivation environment within the Pangu Palace became increasingly mysterious.

The Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus slowly rotated beneath the dome, its chaotic light scattering down, purifying all impurities in the hall and making Pan Xuan's refining process smoother.

The Creation Cauldron truly deserves to be called a supreme innate treasure.

Those spiritual materials that require a great deal of effort to purify in the hands of ordinary cultivators can be refined to their ultimate state in just a moment in the Creation Cauldron.

Those stellar origins that require precise control to fuse can be perfectly integrated with spiritual materials under the power of the Creation Cauldron's return to its origin, without any repulsion.

Pan Xuan's control over the Creation Cauldron became increasingly proficient.

Initially, it took several years to refine a batch of battle flags, but later it only took a few months to complete a batch.

Under his divine sense, the stellar essence and spiritual materials within the cauldron seemed to come alive, spontaneously condensing, taking shape, and inscribing runes.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

As the last batch of array flags flew out of the Creation Cauldron and hovered in front of Pan Xuan, he exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

All 365 Star Flags have been completed.

Pan Xuan stood up and waved his sleeve.

Three hundred and sixty-five array flags flew out from his sleeves and floated in mid-air above the main hall of the Pangu Palace, according to the orientation of the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

The scene was absolutely magnificent.

The 365 array flags each radiated the light of a corresponding star.

Golden, silver-white, crimson, deep black, ice-white, earthy yellow, emerald green, sharp gold, thunder purple, electric silver-blue, poisonous dark green, storm gray.

Three hundred and sixty-five kinds of light intertwined together, forming a miniature celestial map in the Pangu Hall.

Between the banners, an invisible force was subtly flowing.

That is the gravitational pull between stars, the most fundamental principle of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Although the grand formation has not yet been fully deployed, the 365 array flags have already begun to resonate with each other, attracting, restraining, and amplifying one another.

The aura of a single array flag is only that of a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

But when the 365 flags come together, their stellar power begins to intertwine, resonate, and superimpose.

Golden starlight flowed between the array flags, like an invisible giant net tightly connecting the 365 flags together.

Its aura steadily increased, breaking through the level of a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure all the way to finally and steadily reaching the peak of a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

No, it's not even that. Pan Xuan could sense that after these 365 array flags gathered, their power had already faintly touched the threshold of a post-natal supreme treasure.

Although it hasn't truly reached that level yet, its aura already shows a tendency to advance towards becoming a supreme treasure.

If the two main stars, the Sun and the Moon, are added as the array eyes, and the Ziwei Emperor Star as the array core, and the complete Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array is used to activate it, the power of these array flags will truly step into the level of acquired treasures.

Zhu Rong stared wide-eyed and muttered, "Good heavens... 365 array flags, just gathered together, have such power."

"If all of this were activated, how powerful would it be?"

Gonggong, unusually, did not refute, and nodded, saying, "The aura of these array flags alone is enough to make my heart tremble. If they were arranged into a large array, their power would be unimaginable."

Three hundred and sixty-five mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures, gathered into an array, have actually reached such a level… This power of the stars is truly profound.

Di Jiang asked in a deep voice, "Brother Pan Xuan, if these array flags were used to form the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, how large an area could they cover?"

Pan Xuan said, "Using the sun and moon as the array eyes, the Ziwei Emperor Star as the array core, and 365 star flags as the array base, the entire Buzhou Mountain can be covered within it."

Once the grand formation is set up, it will automatically draw upon the power of the stars in the sky, endlessly regenerating.

Unless someone can simultaneously breach both the Sun and Moon array points, or dismantle the core of the Ziwei Emperor Star array from within, the great array cannot be broken by external forces.

He paused, then continued, "But that's not the most important thing."

Most importantly, this grand formation needs someone to control it.

Houtu said softly, "Brother Panxuan, do you mean that these array flags need to be controlled by someone?"

Pan Xuan nodded: "Exactly. Each of the 365 Star Flags needs to be held by someone."

The person who wields the array flag must be in harmony with the corresponding celestial origin in order to unleash the full power of the array flag.

Moreover, the more people who hold the battle flags, the stronger the formation becomes.

If 365 flag bearers can be gathered, the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array will reach its peak.

Zhu Rong scratched his head and said, "Three hundred and sixty-five people? And they all need to be in harmony with the origin of the stars? Where are we going to find that?"

Pan Xuan smiled slightly but did not answer.

His gaze passed through the gate of the Pangu Palace and fell upon the empty space outside the palace, which lay quietly beside the blood pool.

That place will be the birthplace of the Star Witch Clan.

But Pan Xuan did not immediately begin the next step.

He first spent several days recuperating, fully restoring the mental energy depleted from a century of refining.

Although the Righteous Qi Technique kept him at his peak, the depletion of his mental and spiritual energy from a century of continuous refinement could not be compensated for by monstrous power.

He sat cross-legged in the quiet room, drinking a cup of spiritual tea made from the tender buds of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. He let the refreshing aroma of the tea cleanse his soul and let the profound power of enlightenment soothe his mental fatigue.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches did not urge them.

They knew that what they were about to do was more important and required more caution than crafting the array flags.

Creating a new witch race is no small matter.

Since their inception, the Wu tribe has had only one origin: naturally conceived from the blood pool of Pangu.

Those witches born from the blood pool are direct continuations of the Father God's bloodline. They are born with the physical strength of the witches, but they also inherit the witches' flaw: they have no primordial spirit.

The reason why Houtu was able to give birth to a primordial spirit is that she absorbed less evil energy when she was gestating underground in Buzhou Mountain, and her soul was more complete. Furthermore, under the enlightenment of Pan Xuan's heavenly wisdom, she opened the gate to the primordial spirit.

The other eleven Ancestral Witches absorbed too much evil energy, and their souls were suppressed too deeply. Even with the help of the Heavenly Enlightenment Light, they could not give birth to true primordial spirits and could only be replaced by law deities.

But the "Starry Witch Clan" that Pan Xuan wanted to create took a different path.

It was not naturally conceived from the pool of blood.

Instead, they artificially created a completely new witch race, based on the essence of the ancestral witches, with the origin of stars as its soul, and aided by the blood pool, the creation cauldron, and the twenty-four-petaled creation lotus.

These Star Witches will use the origin of stars as the core of their souls.

The origin of stars is a power that existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, containing the creative power of the Great Dao.

With this as their soul, they are born with a primordial spirit.

It is not something that is acquired later in life, but rather a complete primordial spirit that is present from birth.

At the same time, they used the essence and blood of the ancestral witches as the foundation of their physical bodies.

The essence and blood of the Ancestral Witch is a continuation of the Father God's bloodline, containing the Father God's life force.

Using this as their physical body, they will possess the powerful physique of the Witch Clan and be naturally close to the power of the stars.

This was a plan that Pan Xuan had been working on for a long time. He had simulated it countless times in his mind, deducing every step, every detail, and every possible change.

He knew that the success rate of this plan was extremely high, but not 100%.

If we fail, the loss will only be some star essence and ancestral witch blood, and will not damage our foundation.

However, if successful, the Witch Clan will gain a brand new force, possessing a primordial spirit, close to the stars, and capable of perfectly wielding the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Several days later, Pan Xuan left the meditation room and went to the main hall.

The twelve ancestral witches were already waiting there.

They knew that today was the day to create the Star Witch Clan.
