Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Lei Ming's plan is that once the Five Elements World becomes the Great Thousand World, the Tomb of the Gods world can serve as a subordinate world, and an ascension passage can be established between the two worlds, so that Dugu Baitian and the others will also have the opportunity to break through.

Lei Ming did not linger in the world of "Tomb of the Gods." After his breakthrough, he entered the river of time and returned to the primordial world. Calculating the time, more than a hundred years had passed in the primordial world as well.

After becoming the Ziwei Emperor, Yang Jiao consolidated the power of the Jie Sect within the Heavenly Court, making him second only to Haotian in authority. A man of unwavering resolve, he never neglected his cultivation despite his busy schedule. With the aid of immense fortune, Yang Jiao's Nine Revolutions Profound Technique finally reached its fifth level.

"I have finally reached the realm of physical immortality." Yang Jiao felt the powerful force. The fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was equivalent to a Golden Immortal. Apart from ancient cultivators, very few people could reach it.

Yang Jiao surveyed the stars and suddenly noticed that some of his heavenly soldiers were missing. He immediately checked and found that they had been transferred away by Haotian.

Yang Jiao opened his Dharma Eye and looked at the ancestral star. A great battle was taking place on the ancestral star, and two giants appeared in the human world. The Heavenly Court's forces were suppressing them.

The Heavenly Court laid a trap, intending to capture the two giants alive, but the two giants roared and tore the trap apart, killing many heavenly soldiers and generals. Due to the suppression of the ancestral star's seal, the heavenly soldiers and generals could not unleash their full power and had to temporarily retreat.

"It's actually the Witch Clan!" Yang Jiao looked at the two giants but couldn't deduce anything. He sensed that something big was about to happen, so he went to Liyuan Island.

Although Lei Ming was the leader of the Jie Sect, he returned to Li Yuan Island after arranging matters for the sect. Yang Jiao knew how to enter and exit Li Yuan Island, so he went directly to the island.

"Disciple Yang Jiao greets Master!" Yang Jiao bowed respectfully. "Congratulations, Master, on your great advancement in magical power!"

Lei Ming smiled and gestured for him to stand up: "Your cultivation has improved quite a bit; it seems you haven't been relaxing. Judging from your hurried manner, is something the matter?"

Yang Jiao recounted the events at the ancestral star, and Lei Ming, after listening, said, "You saw correctly; those two are indeed members of the Witch Clan, but they are merely Earth Witches."

Yang Jiao exclaimed in surprise, "Master, the ancestral star has a seal placed by the Dao Ancestor, how could there be a Witch Clan here?"

"When the Dao Ancestor placed the seal, he didn't say that the Wu Clan was forbidden from entering the Ancestral Star," Lei Ming said. "The Jie Sect will not participate in this matter; let the Chan Sect handle it."

Yang Jiao was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Master, many forces are currently vying for the ancestral star's fortune. Now is a good time to demonstrate your divine power. Why give it up?"

Lei Ming shook his head and said, "It's not about giving up the opportunity, but about avoiding suicide. Do you think the ancestral star only has those two witch clans? Hmph, those two witch clans are just small fry; a great witch is hiding behind them!"

"Great Shaman!" Yang Jiao exclaimed in shock. Although he had never seen a Great Shaman, he knew that the Great Shaman's strength was equivalent to the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

"We will not participate in the Witch Clan's schemes." Lei Ming did not explain further. He guessed that this was Pingxin Niangniang's plan and vaguely sensed that she was plotting something.

Yang Jiao still had some doubts in his mind, and he still couldn't figure it out after returning to the Heavenly Court.

The next day at the Heavenly Court assembly, Haotian brought up the matter of the ancestral star. This time, the Chan Sect was quite enthusiastic. In their view, these were merely two Earth Witches, easily captured. And after suppressing these two Earth Witches, they could gather a large amount of fortune.

Seeing the Chan Sect members vying for the mission, Haotian looked at Yang Jiao, who shook his head slightly, indicating that the Jie Sect would not participate. Haotian then handed the matter over to the Chan Sect.

Emperor Gouchen Lei Zhenzi, representing the Chan Sect, accepted the mission and immediately mobilized the forces of Gouchen Palace to head towards the ancestral star.

When Lei Zhenzi descended to the mortal realm, the power of the Heavenly Court fell upon the ancestral star, and the seal on the ancestral star immediately weakened. Only then did the various forces realize that the Heavenly Court actually had a way to break the seal on the ancestral star.

In Xianyang, the capital of the Nine Provinces, Chi You, reincarnated as Ying Zheng, had unified the Nine Provinces, established the Qin Dynasty, and become the Human Emperor.

After Chi You unified the world, he immediately ordered the collection of all weapons in the land. He had Bai Qi personally supervise the melting down of these weapons, which were then cast into twelve golden statues, each a thousand feet tall. These golden statues were placed around the city of Xianyang, and in the very center of Xianyang was an altar with eleven black banners hanging on it.

Chi You led his shamanic soldiers in worship toward the altar. Wisps of energy rose from the depths of the ancestral star, slowly entering the banners and finally the golden figures. As time passed, these enormous golden figures became increasingly sentient, as if they were about to come alive.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Court has sent people down to the mortal realm again. This time, it is Gouchen who is personally leading the attack." Bai Qi, dressed in general's armor with a sword hanging at his waist, clasped his hands in a fist and said to Chi You.

Chi You looked up at the sky: "Let them come if they want, but once they come, they won't leave. Bai Qi, I'm entrusting Gouchen to you."

Bai Qi clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes, sir!"

Chi You watched Bai Qi's departing figure and smiled with satisfaction. Bai Qi was also an anomaly; he possessed the bloodline of the Wu tribe and later, under Chi You's tutelage, awakened his bloodline. In just a few decades, Bai Qi's strength soared, and during the forging of the golden statue, he actually became a Great Witch, something even Chi You hadn't anticipated.

"The Queen said it will take another thirty-six years, but it'll be soon, very soon!" Chi You sensed the inner aura of the golden figures, his eyes filled with anticipation. "As long as the eleven Ancestral Witches can be resurrected, my Witch Clan can once again rule the prehistoric world. With the help of the Ancestral Witches, I will also be able to restore the strength of the Ancestral Witches as soon as possible."

Lei Zhenzi led 300,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, all elites trained by the Chan Sect, the weakest of whom were Heavenly Immortals. With the opening of the ancestral star's seal, a vast net of heaven and earth covered the skies above Xianyang, making the people of Xianyang feel as if the sky were about to collapse.

"They arrived quite quickly."

Bai Qi gripped the sword at his waist, gazing at the divine general in the sky, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. His fighting spirit materialized, transforming into a massive bronze halberd that pierced the heavens, activating the Heavenly Net Formation.

"The remnants of the Witch Clan dare to disturb the ancestral star! Now that the Heavenly Court army has arrived, why don't you surrender!" Lei Zhenzi, dressed in imperial robes, roared, accompanied by the power of wind and thunder, exuding boundless majesty.

"kill!"

Bai Qi, unwilling to engage in verbal sparring, drew his sword, its aura stretching for thousands of miles. The Heavenly Net Formation materialized, a massive net blocking the sword energy. However, the sword energy was simply too sharp; with a hiss, the Heavenly Net was shattered. Then, as the sword energy swept across, hundreds of celestial soldiers and generals were cleaved in two at the waist, their very souls obliterated.

Enraged, Lei Zhenzi unleashed wind and thunder wings from his back, wielding a golden wind and thunder staff, and charged towards Bai Qi. A flash of wind and thunder power, and Lei Zhenzi was already before Bai Qi, his speed astonishing.

Bai Qi remained unhurried, twirling his sword and thrusting it towards Lei Zhenzi. Lei Zhenzi parried with his golden staff, lightning and fire flashing in the sky, and the two engaged in a fierce battle.

Lei Zhenzi was incredibly fast; his golden cudgel was already invisible. He struck Bai Qi several times with it, but Bai Qi seemed completely unaffected. Conversely, Bai Qi's sword pierced Lei Zhenzi's wing, and Lei Zhenzi's blood splattered across the sky.

"With such a powerful physique, you must be a Great Witch of the Witch Clan!" Lei Zhenzi finally realized.

Bai Qi let out a long laugh and revealed his true form, transforming into a figure tens of thousands of feet tall, his immense power almost crushing the ancestral star.

"How dare a mere third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect interfere in the affairs of my Wu Clan?" Bai Qi roared. He was actually of the Di Jiang bloodline. After revealing his true form, Bai Qi actually suppressed Lei Zhenzi in speed.

"The True Form of Wind and Thunder!"

Lei Zhenzi also used all his skills. His imperial robe was torn apart, revealing a ferocious monster that was tens of thousands of feet tall. Its wings flapped incessantly, and the power of wind and thunder swept towards Bai Qi.

"It's no use. Let me show you the power of my witch clan."

Bai Qi, overwhelmed by his power, grabbed Lei Zhenzi's wings and tore them off. Lei Zhenzi, not to be outdone, unleashed a torrent of wind and thunder that tore Bai Qi's skin and flesh. As the battle progressed, the heavenly soldiers and Qin troops couldn't resist joining the fray. In an instant, the air above Xianyang was filled with the sounds of battle, corpses fell continuously, and blood spread into a thick fog, enveloping the entire city.

Chi You had not made a move in Xianyang City. He was chanting a spell, and the twelve golden men were absorbing the blood energy, accelerating their transformation.

Inside the ancestral star, the mysterious black energy rose at an accelerated rate, and Chi You smiled upon seeing this.

"What Your Majesty said was indeed true. By using the power of the Heavenly Court to break the seal on the ancestral star, we can speed up the return of the Ancestral Witches."

Haotian probably never imagined that he would fall into Pingxin Niangniang's trap.

The battle in the sky grew increasingly fierce, with Qin soldiers suffering heavy casualties. However, on the other side, Bai Qi completely suppressed Lei Zhenzi. The more Bai Qi fought, the more courageous he became, and his sword had already pierced Lei Zhenzi's heart. Lei Zhenzi's breath grew weaker and weaker.

"You are a worthy opponent." Bai Qi drew his sword.

Lei Zhenzi still held the golden cudgel in his hand: "Heh, I never thought I would die in this world."

Bai Qi wiped his sword, and Lei Zhenzi's aura vanished, causing the Heavenly Court to tremble nine times. After all, Lei Zhenzi was one of the Six Emperors, holding a high position and enjoying the Heavenly Court's fortune; his death silenced all the gods of Heaven.

Yang Jiao finally understood Lei Ming's meaning; the ancestral star was indeed in great danger.

After Lei Zhenzi's death, the remaining heavenly soldiers and generals were no match for Bai Qi and were all slaughtered by him. After killing these heavenly soldiers and generals, the murderous aura emanating from Bai Qi became even more intense, enough to terrify even ghosts and gods.

Not long after the great battle, the blood-red aura above Xianyang was completely devoured by the twelve golden statues. Twenty years later, the aura belonging to the twelve ancestral witches was also leaked out.

At this point, the Wu tribe's scheme could no longer be concealed.

"Witch! Witch! Witch!"

The twelve golden figures roared to the heavens, transforming themselves into the Dharma form of the Ancestral Witch. This roar proclaimed the imminent return of the Ancestral Witch, shaking the Three Realms and Six Paths. Not only the primordial world, but even the sages in the chaos were alarmed.
