The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 73 A Spark Ignites a Prairie Fire: The Battle of the Sexes! (12)

Feng Xi glanced sideways at the torch that was burning fiercely.

The materials used for the torches were not ordinary.

It is a piece of innate spiritual wood.

Based on Feng Xi's many years of experience and hearsay, his understanding of the rare and precious materials in the prehistoric world is most closely related to the innate spiritual root—the phoenix tree!

Among the many spiritual roots in the world, the parasol tree is one of the rare ones that is not afraid of fire and is the most resistant to burning.

After all, the phoenix perches on the parasol tree.

If a spiritual root that can serve as a nest for a phoenix is ​​accidentally burned to ashes by the phoenix itself one day... wouldn't that be a joke?

Therefore, using such spiritual wood to make torches will surely produce the most vibrant and undying sacred fire!

The one who passed on the torch—Suichu—was very thoughtful.

but……

Regardless of the external hardware, Feng Xi still felt a deep-seated resistance to this rather mysterious and eerie proselytizing ritual—she always felt that this was a cult, and once you joined, there would be no turning back.

Feng Xi had already fallen into a trap and was nearly killed. So many blades of fate hung brightly overhead, and no one knew when they would fall.

Now, he just wants to live a quiet life, level up peacefully, and ignore the turbulent world until the fierce war between the Lich King and the Lich King begins.

all in all--

He doesn't want to fall into this trap!

Faced with Sui Chu's enthusiastic invitation, Feng Xi remained silent, struggling to find the right words to refuse.

"I mean—don't spread it, get lost! Is that appropriate?"

"Or... am I busy right now, and we can discuss this another time?"

Feng Xi's mind was racing, her eyes darting around, and a thousand possible responses were on the tip of her tongue.

Ultimately, all of this came down to a single, heartfelt word.

"Could I understand—what does this fire represent? What great cause is behind it?"

Feng Xi took out a complete set of tables and chairs from his storage treasure, arranged them properly, and also provided fruits, vegetables and wine, inviting Sui Chu to sit down and listen attentively to his work on passing on the fire.

Let me state upfront that this is absolutely not cowardice, nor is it a change of attitude due to Sui Chu's action of placing his hand on the stone axe as if he were about to strike at the slightest provocation.

Is Feng Xi such a cowardly sorcerer?

Wealth and honor cannot corrupt him, poverty and hardship cannot sway him, and power and force cannot subdue him—this is Feng Xi's motto, the noble character he pursued throughout his life. How could he possibly compromise with violence?!

He just remembered something.

—It was Sui Chu who broke through the Heavenly Will's sneak attack for Feng Xi!

Based on this strength... no, this favor, Feng Xi insisted on listening to Sui Chu's preaching, and afterwards gave him a thumbs up to show his recognition and respect for the great cause Sui Chu was involved in, and even wrote an application to join the church to show his positive attitude.

However, although he had joined the sect, Feng Xi had to run errands for the Ancestral Witches and travel all over the prehistoric world, so it was difficult for him to contact Mr. Sui Chu... This was quite unfortunate!

Feng Xi looked down at his nose, seemingly listening attentively to the teachings.

Such a respectful and sincere behavior made Sui Chu extremely happy. She lowered the hand that was resting on the stone axe at her waist, and sat up straight to preach to Feng Xi.

"Our cause is a great cause, a just cause!"

"The witch clan has now embarked on a dangerous and misguided path... Unhealthy trends are rampant, and some unreasonable, unequal, and distorted phenomena are even more outrageous..."

Sui Chu spoke passionately and eloquently, his spittle flying everywhere. The entire shaman was filled with passion and a fighting spirit.

He was excited.

Feng Xi was dumbfounded.

He listened intently, but couldn't understand anything; it was as if the two of them were not on the same wavelength at all.

"Is there...something very serious wrong with the Witch Clan?"

Feng Xi looked bewildered, but after carefully searching her memories, she discovered that everyone, from the entire clan down to each individual shaman, had a positive and optimistic outlook.

Here, everyone can find their own interests and values, and strive for them... One beacon after another shines ahead, ensuring the road is never dark or confusing.

If we ignore the terrifying epochal calamity that will erupt between the demon race and the future... then without a doubt!

This is a paradise for humanity!

However, now someone is telling him that the Witch Clan is in trouble, and it's a very serious problem!

Sui Chu noticed Feng Xi's confusion, shook his head, and casually waved his hand, causing a light screen to rise.

The video displayed on the screen, however, was an incredibly ingenious small-scale battle, showcasing all sorts of wits and courage.

"Huh?!"

Feng Xi looked at the screen, and his expression instantly turned strange.

This……

Wasn't this something he had just witnessed not long ago?

A thousand-strong army of heroines slaughtered Feng Xi and his two companions, to let them "rest in peace" and know who they dared not mess with!

"Look!" Sui Chu slammed her hand on the table. "What's going on here?"

"How outrageous!" he exclaimed indignantly. "A whole thousand people, surrounding and attacking three people... using any means necessary, utterly ruthless!"

"Look beyond these surface phenomena to observe their essence... Do you understand?" A glint of light flashed in Sui Chu's eyes. "Such a terrifying mobilization ability, linked by the same gender, forming a massive force... Now, only a sliver is being revealed, yet it unleashes such terrifying oppressive power!"

"The heroines of the Witch Clan have united!" His expression was solemn. "They've formed an organization under the guise of mutual assistance among women, but in reality, it's a platform for some 'malicious' individuals to expand their own influence..."

"And since some have expanded their power, others must have reduced it... Who has reduced it?"

"Only we, the men of the entire Witch Clan, are in a corresponding position!"

"This is a terrible situation!"

Sui Chu's voice was firm and powerful, "And what's even more terrifying is that this isn't just the beginning... it started spreading like a plague a long time ago!"

"They lurk invisibly, they spread in all directions... Today's attack is only because the time has come, and they are now revealing their fangs!"

"They will step over the remains of the three kings, issuing the loudest declaration to the entire witch clan—they have arrived!"

"The situation has reached its most dangerous point!"

Sui Chu stood up and raised the torch high... At this moment, his figure appeared so tall and majestic in Feng Xi's eyes.

Surrounding it are dazzling halos, making it appear as if it were a supreme deity illuminating a dark and cruel world.

"Today, they can gang up on three people and chase them down until they have nowhere to run. Tomorrow, you and I might face the same fate for infringing on their interests."

"In order to turn the tide, to prevent the situation of Feng Xi and the other two from repeating itself, and to prevent all the men in the Witch Clan from collapsing in the future struggle for power due to their disunity..."

"We wizards must unite and make our voices heard!"

"Faced with inevitable oppression, we must clench our fists in resistance!"

Sui Chu looked intently at Feng Xi, "A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

"So... Feng Xi, would you be willing to join my Spark Organization, to carry on a spark of hope, and to become a part of illuminating this dark age?"

Sui Chu's expression was solemn and dignified.

This emotion infected Feng Xi, making him feel excited and causing him to stand up abruptly.

"Where righteousness lies, I will not regret even unto death!"

Feng Xi patted his chest forcefully, making a solemn vow, as if it were the truth.

"I am willing to endure the fire, to bear the responsibility of being a warlock... all for a better tomorrow!"

"Excellent, excellent..." Sui Chu was overjoyed. "I am not alone on this path; today I have gained another fellow traveler!"

As he spoke, he took out a red scarf and personally tied it around Feng Xi's arm.

Then he took out a small candlestick, lit it with a torch, and received a bit of the sacred fire, which shone eternally and was bestowed upon Feng Xi.

A sacred light flashed across Feng Xi's face as she respectfully accepted the candlestick with both hands, listening as Sui Chu spoke—

"When one day, every wizard's arm is bound with a red scarf, and they hold aloft a candlestick, the primordial world will tremble, and the most brilliant fire of the era will ignite!"

"How magnificent is the spark of hope!"

"How magnificent is the spark of hope!"

Feng Xi echoed, then said with a devout expression, "Since the organization has such a grand ambition, how can I, Feng, not do my part?"

"Perhaps I can't offer much help in terms of wisdom or force... but I'm still somewhat confident in terms of money and connections."

"I, Feng, am the first leader of the Business Alliance... Therefore, if Fellow Daoist Suichu has any needs for personnel placement, as long as they meet the standards, I can arrange them all!"

"Haha!" Sui Chu burst into laughter. "Fellow Daoist Feng Xi is too kind... This kind of help is indeed crucial for our fledgling organization!"

"I would be impolite to refuse... Of course, if someone has made contributions, they must be promoted."

"From now on, you will serve as the vice leader of our 'Male Wizard Mutual Aid Spark Alliance'... We'll need your close oversight of the finances!"

"Alright!" Feng Xi nodded readily. "Leave everything within your ability to me!"

The two shamans, both of noble character, exchanged a deep, meaningful glance, then burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

His loud laughter startled countless birds into flight.

The only drawback is perhaps that the laughter sounded somewhat hollow and fake.

No one was genuinely laughing.

After all...

It's just a transaction, why talk about opening up to each other?

Sui Chu broke Feng Xi's deadly trap, pulling her back from the brink of self-destruction, but of course, he had something in mind.

Feng Xi saw things clearly.

The so-called "passing on the fire" was merely a decorative embellishment to the deal, just another way of putting it.

Saving someone's life in return for Feng Xi opening the doors of the Business Alliance, letting a wolf into the house, and providing an opportunity for someone who is likely a pawn or a secondary account of a powerful figure to usurp the rights of the Business Alliance.

Under normal circumstances, if the business alliance were Feng Xi's own private domain... then of course he would never agree to it.

But is this the normal situation?

of course not!

He's about to step down, and from now on that business alliance will probably have nothing to do with him anymore; it'll just be someone else's meal... The resentment in his heart has been accumulating for who knows how long.

While they still hold power, of course they want to cause some trouble and make things difficult for the successor leader... Doesn't it hurt to sell off his children's land?

Sustainable development?

If I were still in office, I might consider it... but I won't live to see that day, so why bother with all this?

Sui Chu was also quite sensible.

He promised a vice-leadership position... although this so-called Starfire Alliance has no reputation at all, and whether it can become a leader is still just a pipe dream.

"However, I must admit... there is still potential here."

Feng Xi, quick-witted and agile, pondered, "If we can truly scale it up and reach the ideal level... well, it might not be much worse than a business alliance."

"Tsk... The first person here to start such a gay organization is truly taking a unique and unconventional approach!"

He thought of the witch alliance that Sui Chu had mentioned before, a family of all the heroines of the witch clan.

"My business alliances use profits to win people's hearts."

"Organizations like the Crimson Bright Sword Technique Association unite forces through shared interests and knowledge."

"I never imagined that people would actually use mere gender or ideological stances to create a fake alliance!"

"Absolutely brilliant!"

"Deeply understanding the principle of putting people first, we control things directly from the source."

After pondering it for a moment, Feng Xi couldn't help but admire it.

Such an organization naturally has deep roots—because female witches make up at least 40% of the total witch population!

The prospects are bright!

Moreover, their unique positioning gives such organizations the most tenacious vitality, making them almost impossible to eliminate.

After all, business can be abandoned.

But you can't distort someone's gender, can you?

There are countless ways to destroy a business alliance, but destroying this witch alliance... is far too difficult!

The principles of Yin and Yang, and the distinction between male and female, are the true principles of Heaven and Earth, with a long and rich history.

Finding a male witch is easy, finding a female witch is easy too.

Finding a witch who is neither male nor female is truly astonishing.

……

Feng Xi sorted out her thoughts and discerned some invisible undercurrents and power struggles.

"In the future, this alliance of witches will undoubtedly wield considerable influence within the witch clan... but perhaps this very alliance will also be their downfall."

"Gender is both the foundation upon which they rise, and the constraint that will ultimately hinder their leap... Just like now, an organization belonging to male wizards has been born!"

"Unless, because of too much licking... no, the pursuit of love, a group of male witches defect... is that even possible?"

"Besides, the pinnacle of power in this era is mostly comprised of male experts!"

"Although those innate saints and supreme beings have countless incarnations, and might create a different identity anywhere... the fact that they show their true form already represents their stance."

"From a macro perspective... the witch's path to power is fraught with difficulties."

Feng Xi thought for a moment and secretly crossed out the witches.

"Impossible."

"There's no hope."

"Unless all the top male supernatural beings perish, like Fuxi, Dijun, Taiyi, Mugong, Dijiang, Zhujiuyin... who would dare to put that on their death list?"

"Uh... something seems off?"

Feng Xi looked up at the sky.

"Those pieces of information about the Lich Wars, whether true or false..."

Fuxi perished, but Nuwa survived.

"The Eastern King Duke is utterly cold, while the Western Queen Mother is lively and energetic."

"Among the ancestral witches of the Witch Clan... it seems that Lady Houtu has achieved the most, wielding the power of reincarnation, while the rest seem to have fallen into oblivion?"

"hiss……"

P.S.: I'm ashamed to say I wasn't feeling well yesterday and couldn't update... This chapter is to make up for yesterday's. There will be another chapter before midnight.
