The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 8: War! Ancestral Witch Special Training

Feng Xi never imagined that one day he would be interviewed and even make the headlines of the Wu Clan's internal information push.

Faced with the sudden arrival of the interviewers, who asked him how he felt about receiving the ancestral witch's reward for his outstanding achievements... After only a fraction of a second of stunned silence, his instinct, ingrained deep in his soul, instantly calmed him down, and he spoke fluently and eloquently.

"First of all, I want to thank Houtu Zuwu, the provider of that competitive game, and the countless people who worked behind the scenes..."

"Without them, I wouldn't have the honor I have today..."

After a long, impromptu speech, Feng Xi left the interviewer speechless.

The interviewer wanted to leave, but couldn't... Feng Xi pulled him hard, as if she wouldn't let him go until she heard him finish speaking.

Finally, after being bombarded with countless "thank yous", he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, when the great ancestral witch saved him from the fire and water.

"Feng Xi, hurry!" He abruptly changed the subject, "The Ancestral Witch Houtu wants to bestow rewards upon you... Aren't you going yet?"

Feng Xi reluctantly shut his mouth and walked side by side with his nine teammates, who were all smiles on their faces but felt a bit nervous inside. They walked up to the award stage with their heads held high to receive the reward and praise from Hou Tu for their outstanding performance in District 1404, which allowed them to stand out so quickly and demonstrate their competitiveness.

The material rewards are very generous—they are resources that can propel them smoothly through their cultivation to the Golden Immortal realm!

It should be noted that the entire path of immortality only has four realms.

True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi, Daluo.

The Wu Clan certainly doesn't lack cultivation resources—a Great Luo expert can develop the Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Chaos, so what kind of rare and precious materials can't they obtain?

But, how about we consider the labor costs?

Therefore, resources within the Witch Clan must be obtained by exchanging contribution points.

Now, by directly granting them cultivation resources that lead directly to the Golden Immortal realm, countless hours of busy travel are saved, allowing ten prominent figures to gain a slight edge over others, greatly enhancing their future competitiveness and giving them a greater chance of transcending their limitations.

In an instant, Feng Xi felt that this resource was a bit too hot to handle—even though he knew that it was actually nothing to the Ancestral Witches.

Seemingly sensing his doubts, Houtu Ancestral Witch's expression hardened, becoming solemn and sacred.

She spoke slowly, as if explaining to him, or perhaps to the countless Wu tribe audience members seated below the awards stage, "You are excellent."

"So, this is what you deserve."

"Furthermore, rewarding you is also to tell the countless people of the Witch Clan—"

"Our conflict with the demon race is not simply a matter of thugs fighting or organized gang brawls!"

"It's not something that can be settled simply by showing off muscle strength or reckless charging."

"This is war!"

"A war that engulfs the entire vast primordial world and spans countless timelines!"

"As carefully selected warriors, every member of the Witch Clan should possess outstanding insight and wisdom, decisive judgment and decision-making... Excellent individual soldier qualities are what the Witch Clan strives for in future wars!"

The primordial world encompassed all the heavens and elements, and its astronomical scale of time and space provided ample depth for both the witch and demon races.

Furthermore, the existence of the Great Luo Supreme Being, who is eternally free in endless time and space and possesses the qualification and ability to take back moves, has further enhanced the depth of the game by an immeasurable amount.

The depth of the defense system determines the robustness of the attack system, the intensity of the attack, and the execution of far-sighted plans... This destined the duel between the liches to be an all-round, three-dimensional ultimate war!

Any confrontation, once it escalates to the level of war, should never be ignored.

Not to mention its terrifying scale?

This is a test of the organizational structure of a force, as well as a test of the capabilities of its basic members.

Unless it is a cultivator who has attained the Great Luo realm and possesses the authority to strike, it is a Super Stork Ape.

Otherwise, even a Taiyi expert might not be as effective on the battlefield as a qualified Wu Clan warrior who meets the criteria of the Ancestral Witches.

……

The words of the Ancestral Witch Houtu resonated like the morning bell and evening drum, shaking the hearts of countless witches.

They were swept up in the moment, standing at a higher vantage point to survey the entire situation and witness the great confrontation between the two dominant forces... Even a glimpse of what lay hidden made them tremble, excited them, and bring them entirely new insights.

It is conceivable that after today, more and more Wu Clan warriors will examine their life plans and consider developing and improving themselves in a more comprehensive way.

After all, with Feng Xi and these ten beacons set up as the wind vanes, the manifestation of the Ancestral Witches' will, the attraction of practical benefits... too many factors influence people to spontaneously embark on the path expected by the Ancestral Witches.

"So, are we ten people... just pawns in a grand scheme played by the Ancestral Witch?"

Was it a piece of wood used as a token of goodwill, or horse bones bought with a large sum of money?

Feng Xi's mind raced with thoughts, muttering to herself and grumbling incessantly.

However, before he could elaborate further, Houtu, the ancestral witch who had finished her speech and received applause from countless witches, turned her gaze to the ten of them and said, "You have guided the direction of the witches, actively responded to the call of our ancestral witches, and deeply understood our spirit... Your contributions are immense."

"As for material rewards, considering fairness, it's not appropriate to give too much."

"For this, I will give you additional compensation."

"A special combat training exercise!"

"To give you the opportunity to understand the level of the pinnacle figures in the primordial universe, and to light a guiding light for you."

"How is it?"

Are you happy?

At this moment, the ancestral witch Houtu had an extremely gentle and serene expression on her face.

But in the eyes of the ten Feng Xi...

Why... do we feel an incredibly terrifying malice spreading?!

They really wanted to refuse.

However, looking at the countless envious and jealous eyes of the Wu Clan below the stage, and then at the kind and gentle expression of the Ancestral Witch Houtu... Feng Xi's words lingered on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't utter a single word.

"Since none of you are speaking, I'll take that you all agree." Houtu smiled with satisfaction. "Without further ado, let's begin now."

With a casual wave of her hand, she could change the course of time and space.

The location changed, and it appeared in a vast universe.

A dark cloud hung over his heart, causing Feng Xiqian to swallow hard before managing to ask, "Lord Houtu..."

"May I ask—"

"Who exactly is it? Who's here to give us this special training?"

An ominous premonition made it impossible for him to remain silent any longer.

This is also the question shared by the other nine people.

"Of course it's me." Houtu said with a smile. "Don't worry, I will lower my cultivation level and keep it at the same level as yours."

"In order to optimize the special training effect and let you truly understand the level of existence at the peak of the primordial world... and coincidentally, there are nine avatars of the Ancestral Witches who are very interested in the award ceremony just now."

"So... ten against ten! A fair fight!"
