Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 313: The Witch Clan Arrives
A complete plan took shape in Ao Bing's mind. Then, instead of continuing to Tanggu, he headed to the eastern border to get the Sun-Shooting Arrow first.

However, before leaving, Ao Bing first sent a message to Yang Jian, asking him to guard near Tanggu and look for the whereabouts of Zifu.

Ao Bing was able to discover the Purple Mansion thanks to Yang Jian. The Zhiyang Divine Sword in his hand was related to the inheritance of Dong Wanggong and was the key to the Purple Mansion.

It can be seen that he has a connection with Zifu.

If Ao Bing wants to make some traces of the Xiantian Purple Palace appear and then devour Tanggu, he will definitely need the help of Yang Jian.

Let him guard near Tanggu first, and when Ao Bing gets the last Sun-Shooting Arrow, he will immediately rush over to meet him and search for Zifu together.

"Is the human dragon here?"

"We are here on the orders of the Queen Mother Hou Tu to cooperate with you and discuss the matter of sorting out the earth veins."

Just as Ao Bing was about to come out of retreat and set off for the eastern border, a strong man from the Wu clan arrived.

Previously in the netherworld, Ao Bing had sought help from the Queen Mother Hou Tu on sorting out the earth veins. For such a good thing that would benefit both heaven and earth and the witch clan, the Queen Mother Hou Tu agreed without hesitation.

She promised Ao Bing that she would send some powerful Wu Clan members to help him. Ao Bing thought that it would take some time for them to arrive, but he never expected that they would arrive now.

However, this is also a good thing. It can only be said that it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Coming at this time is just the right time.

Ao Bing stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of burly men, led by two tall figures, walking on the waves.

Although the true bodies of the great witches have different forms, because of their reverence for the great god Pangu, during non-combat periods, the witch clan has always appeared in their innate Taoist bodies, that is, in human form.

Therefore, in terms of appearance, the Wu clan is not much different from the human race except that they are taller and more muscular. They can be called an enlarged version of the human race.

"We're not late!"

Seeing Ao Bing appear, the leading wizard opened his mouth and made a thunderous sound. It was not that he did it on purpose, but his voice was just so loud that every time he opened his mouth, it was like thunder.

"Wind Master and Rain Master!"

"It looks like a very important person has come."

Ao Bing sensed the danger. The two great wizards who were leading the group were very strong, extremely strong. Even the twelve golden immortals of the orthodox sect combined might not be enough for the two of them to kill.

Feng Bo and Yu Shi, great wizards of the wizard clan during the ancient wizard-lich period, were conceived from Pangu's heart, and were innate wizards with noble blood and powerful strength.

As early as the ancient times, they were already the overlords among the Golden Immortals, and had killed countless demon gods and demons.

As for now, countless years have passed, and they will only become more powerful. I just don't know if they have set foot in the realm of quasi-saints.

"Do you recognize us?"

Hearing Ao Bing directly shout out their origins, the two great wizards Feng Bo and Yu Shi asked back curiously.

They have been in seclusion for a long time, so it is fine that those old guys know them. But Ao Bing, a junior who is not even ten thousand years old, a little kid, can actually reveal their origins. This is shocking.

"You two are joking. During the Xuanyuan period, you two helped Chi You fight against Xuanyuan and gained great fame. For this, the human race still worships you two today. It's not surprising that I can recognize you."

"In the entire Jiuzhou, there are only a few strong people who don't know you two."

Hearing this, Ao Bing explained with a smile.

Although the two great wizards, Fengbo and Yushi, had great reputations in ancient times, how many people know about the ancient events that have been passed down to this day?
Therefore, the present reputation of the two of them was not handed down from the ancient times;

At the end of the ancient Earth Emperor period, Chiyou and Xuanyuan competed for the throne of mankind. At that time, Xuanyuan had the help of the Heavenly Court, and Chiyou had the help of the witch clan.

The strong men sent by the witch clan to help Chiyou were led by the great witches Xingtian, Fengbo, and Yushi. The strong men sent by the heaven to help Xuanyuan were led by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman and supplemented by the twelve golden immortals of the Chan Sect.

That's right, the Golden Immortal of the School of Orthodoxy really fought with the Master of Wind and the Master of Rain. Ao Bing said that the twelve Golden Immortals of the School of Orthodoxy combined were not enough for the two of them to kill. He was not joking, but the truth.

During the Battle of Zhuolu, if it weren't for the saints' magical powers to protect them, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School would have almost all died at the hands of these two great wizards.

Others don't dare to kill the saint's disciples, but the great witch of the witch clan has no such scruples. Is he afraid of you, Yuanshi?

"It's better not to mention such embarrassing things!"

When Ao Bing talked about the old days in Zhuolu, the two great wizards Feng Bo and Yu Shi seemed to have thought of something and their faces suddenly became heavy.

For them, this was indeed not a glorious thing, even if they were sacrificed. After all, they were the losers.

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Seeing that the two were unwilling to talk about the past, Ao Bing naturally changed the subject and answered their previous question:

"You are not late. Our people are not ready yet. The secret methods, formations, tools and so on used to assist in combing the earth veins are not ready yet."

Although the task of combing the earth's veins had been planned a long time ago, it is still in the preparation stage.

There is a lot of preparation work to be done before sorting out the earth veins. First, the terrain must be surveyed, and then the cause of the blockage of the earth veins must be determined...

Only by completing all the preparations well can we assign the most suitable monks according to different problems, and thus clear the earth veins in the shortest time at the lowest cost.

Ao Bing picked out some key points, such as personnel training, and briefly explained them to the two great wizards.

"It's just combing the earth veins, but there are so many tricks? When Emperor Yan combed the earth veins, wherever he passed, the blocked earth veins were immediately unblocked. How could it be so troublesome?"

The two great wizards were shocked. What Ao Bing said about combing the earth veins was completely different from what they imagined.

In their opinion, combing the earth veins is not difficult, just reopen the blocked areas, it doesn't take much effort. The only problem is that the prehistoric world is too big, so it will take a long time.

Because it took too long, new problems arose. For example, just after the ground veins on this side were combed out, the ground veins on the other side that had just been opened up were blocked again, so they had to start all over again.

As time goes by, sorting out the earth's veins becomes a never-ending task that can never be completely solved.

"You two great witches are joking. What is the cultivation level of Emperor Yan? What is our cultivation level? What is the cultivation level of those immortals who are preparing to comb the earth veins?"

"We can learn Yan Di's method, but the effect will definitely not be as good as his."

"Plus, this time we not only need to sort out the earth veins, but also solve the problem of earth vein blockage once and for all, so there is so much preparation work."

Ao Bing was speechless. What kind of cultivation level did Emperor Yan have? Using Emperor Yan as an example, how can this be compared? Also, if he had Emperor Yan's cultivation level, would he still need the Wu Clan to help him? It's funny, right?

"Too!"

The two great witches came back to their senses and laughed dryly. However, in their hearts, their evaluation of Ao Bing had risen to a new level. Originally, they thought that Ao Bing's action of combing the earth veins was just a slogan, with the purpose of establishing a relationship with the witch clan.

But now after hearing Ao Bing's plan, they no longer think so. With such thorough preparations and such a huge investment, it's obvious that they are serious about it, and it's definitely not just talk.

Since Ao Bing really intends to comb the earth veins, even if he does this just to establish a relationship with the Wu Clan, it doesn't matter. After all, he has really invested a lot of money, and there is no reason for the Wu Clan not to support him.

"Is there anything we can help you with with these preparations?"

After confirming that Ao Bing was not just talking but actually preparing to comb through the earth veins, the two great wizards couldn't help but become serious and were ready to help immediately.

For them, combing the earth veins is really too important. It is related to whether their Wu clan can return to the primitive land, so it is not too important to attach great importance to it.

"Yes, you guys come in first, and there will be professionals in Renlong City to explain it to you. But before that, I have something I want to ask you."

Ao Bing opened the formation, leaving a gap to allow the two great witches to lead their people into Longzhou, while speaking to them.

"What is it? The Queen said that you have done a great favor to the Wu Clan. As long as it is not excessive, we can agree to it."

"Like the secrets of the demon race, the fragments of the ancient heaven, the inheritance of Chi You, as long as you want, we can tell you."

Stepping into Longzhou, Feng Bo spoke to Ao Bing in a tempting tone.

In this world, no one likes to owe favors to others. Therefore, after hearing that Ao Bing wanted to ask for something, Feng Bo offered the best conditions he could without any hesitation, trying to repay Ao Bing's favor.

"The secrets of the demon race, the ruins of the ancient heaven, the inheritance of Chi You, I have to say, I am a little moved by what you said."

"However, these matters are not urgent. We will have plenty of time to talk about them later. Right now, I have something more important to ask you two."

Although Feng Bo's words moved Ao Bing, he did not forget what was the most important thing for him at the moment. So, he asked:
"May I ask the two elders, do you know the origin of the Sun-shooting Arrow worshipped by the Youqiong Tribe of the Dongyi people?"

"Ok?"

"This is!!!"

"Ancestral essence!"

"How is this possible? After the collapse of Mount Buzhou, the primordial ancestral veins were completely exhausted, and there is no more ancestral vein essence in the world."

"But here, here..."

"How is it possible to have so much ancestral essence?"

The moment Ao Bing finished speaking, Yu Shi's shocked exclamation rang out almost at the same time. Previously, he had not noticed anything unusual because of the isolation of the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Array.

But as soon as he entered Longzhou, he realized something was wrong. This place was filled with ancestral essence that had disappeared between heaven and earth for many years.

The ancestral vein essence was the reason why the ancient world was at its peak. The reason why the later generations became worse and worse, in addition to the destruction of heaven and earth, was more because the ancestral vein was cut off and there was no essence to nourish it.

The higher the level of power, the easier it is to create a strong person. And the ancestral essence is the highest level of power in the prehistoric world.

In ancient times, cultivators could collect the essence of their ancestors' veins to practice, and their strength was naturally far superior to that of people in later generations.

“It’s really the essence of our ancestors!”

Upon hearing this, Feng Bo did not bother to answer Ao Bing's question. He carefully sensed for a while and spoke excitedly.

They were not shocked by the presence of ancestral essence in Longzhou, but were shocked by the reappearance of the ancestral essence, because this meant that the ancestral essence had revived.

If the ancient ancestral vein of the great wilderness had not been revived, how could it support the new ancestral essence?
The revival of the ancestral vein means that the ancient world is saved and will no longer continue to decline. Isn’t this worth being shocked and excited about?

"It's nothing. Emperor Yu sacrificed himself to revive part of the ancestral vein. Not long ago, I also transformed the Heaven-shaking Seal to repair the ancestral vein."

"It is normal for the ancestral vein to be nourished and revived a little."

Knowing what the two were shocked about, Ao Bing replied calmly.

Eliminating the Heaven-shaking Seal and reviving the Primordial Ancestor Vein were his greatest achievements that he had made public. Therefore, he never concealed them, but just put them out there so that as many people as possible could know about them.

This is not a bad thing, but a great thing. If so, why are you afraid of people knowing? On the contrary, since it is a good thing, more people must know about it.

In this way, the world will sing the praises of his achievements, praise him and sing his praises from the bottom of their hearts, thus gathering more luck and faith for him.

"The Heaven-Flipping Seal, is this the treasure that the Yuanshi Saint took from the Buzhou Mountain? If this thing is transformed, it can really revive the ancestral vein of the Great Desolation."

"Damn it, why didn't anyone think of it earlier?"

After learning the whole story, the two were upset at first. If they had known this earlier, the Heaven-Flipping Seal would have been snatched away by the Wu Clan. After their frustration, they both bowed to Ao Bing at the same time and said:

"Thank you for redeeming the sins of my Wu clan. From now on, if you give me any orders, we will definitely repay them with our lives."

For the Wu clan, the greatest sin was crashing into Mount Buzhou, causing the ancestral vein to dry up. But now, Ao Bing has revived the dried up primordial ancestral vein.

In the eyes of the Wu Clan, this was a way to make up for their sins, so they were extremely moved and wanted to repay him with their own deaths.

"I'll thank you later. It's more important for you two to answer my questions first."

The witch clan will not run away to express their gratitude, but the opportunity to snatch the Sun-Shooting Arrow cannot be wasted.

"So that fellow Taoists know that Youqiong's Sun-shooting Arrow is indeed related to my Wu clan."

"This arrow was specially made by the Netherworld Witch for Dayi's reincarnation, Houyi, in the hope that he could use it to shoot and kill the Ten Golden Crows, thereby conserving his own merits and escaping from the calamity."

The two looked at each other and felt that there was nothing to hide, so they told Ao Bing the truth.

"After Dayi shot and killed the nine golden crows, Emperor Jun was filled with hatred and found an opportunity to destroy his physical body and imprison his true spirit on the Moon, making it impossible for him to reincarnate."

"Later, Emperor Jun fell and the demon court collapsed. Empress Hou Tu took the opportunity to take back Dayi's true spirit, but was stopped by Xihe. In the end, she only took back half of the true spirit."

"Then, Hou Tu Niangniang sent Dayi's half of his soul into reincarnation, trying to repair it with the power of reincarnation, but the effect was not very good."

"At this time, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch thought of a way, which was to use the power of merit to forcibly summon back the remaining half of the true spirit."

"Merit is mysterious and related to the way of heaven. Although Emperor Jun and Xihe are powerful, they cannot go against heaven, so the means they have arranged cannot stop the call of merit."
