Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 614 The Ignorant Witch Clan (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Where did the doctrines of the Hundred Schools of Thought come from? They were passed down by those with great supernatural powers. After cultivating to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, if one wants to continue to grow stronger, one cannot do without the support of powerful fortune.

The simplest way to gain immense fortune in a short period is to spread the Dao among humans. By enhancing the strength of the human race, one can acquire a portion of their fortune.

Simply put, this is a transaction; the greater the benefits brought to the human race, the more fortune will be obtained from them.

No one can resist this temptation, so when the time is right, there will surely be a large number of powerful cultivators who have achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm going to the human race to spread the Dao.

Furthermore, because they are too powerful, they certainly wouldn't enter the Southern Great Realm in their true form to spread the teachings. Even if they wanted to, the human race wouldn't agree.

Hundreds of Grand Luo Golden Immortals poured into their own territory all at once. Who wouldn't be afraid? If something unexpected happened, the human race would be doomed.

Therefore, the Primordial Dao Master may go to the Southern Great Realm to spread the Dao, but he must go in an avatar, not in his true form.

These incarnations of the Primordial Dao Masters became the various schools of thought in later generations. The so-called Hundred Schools of Thought are the cultivation systems they created based on their own cultivation philosophies.

The flourishing of diverse schools of thought was the result of their competition. Although there were many cultivation systems in the prehistoric world, only a few became mainstream, ranging from one or two to more than ten, but no more.

Therefore, those Primordial Dao Masters who want their created cultivation system to become mainstream must fight and prove that they are the strongest.

In this way, one can naturally become a top influencer.

Because of their actions, the strength of the human race will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced. They will also become more civilized, and their progress in developing intelligence will be significantly accelerated.

With the advanced knowledge passed down by Ao Bing, coupled with the flourishing of diverse schools of thought, it was entirely foreseeable that the human race would surpass its past achievements and reach a new peak.

"What you're thinking is pretty much in line with our plan."

Xi Huang sighed, "Ao Bing's plan, apart from the Demon Clan, is the same as the development path they have set for the Human Clan."

Of course they're the same, since Ao Bing copied their plan exactly, so it would be strange if they weren't.

"So be it!"

The matter was settled, as Xi Huang had no better solution. As for whether he would suspect Ao Bing of having ulterior motives, that was uncertain.

If it wasn't for ulterior motives, could it be that Ao Bing was just bored and thus plotted for the human race?

In fact, Xi Huang knew exactly what Ao Bing was thinking.

Ao Bing's schemes for the human race were nothing more than to strengthen his direct lineage of human-dragons.

One point must be emphasized: the relationship between the human-dragon lineage and the human race is not separate. On the contrary, the two are one, with the human-dragon being the superior of the ordinary human race and representing its evolutionary direction.

This means that the lineage of dragons and the human race are interdependent, sharing both prosperity and adversity. Only when the human race becomes stronger and everyone gains intelligence will more humans transform into dragons.

The term "human dragon" refers to the most outstanding members of the human race. Therefore, the higher the overall level of the human race, the closer they are to the human dragons, and the easier it is for them to transform.

Based on this, even if it were only for his own benefit, Ao Bing would certainly do his utmost to plan for the human race. How can the dragon race prosper if the human race doesn't become better?

Furthermore, if the human race declines, it will be equivalent to the human-dragon lineage losing its largest base, and it will also decline.

Emperor Xi was well aware of this, so even though he knew Ao Bing had ulterior motives, he still agreed to his plan.

Regardless of Ao Bing's plans, at least in terms of strengthening the human race, both sides share the same interests and are working towards this goal.

That alone is enough. Ao Bing planned for the human race, so it's only right that he gets some benefits after the plan is successful. You can't expect someone to work for free, can you?
………………

After discussing matters concerning the human race with Xi Huang, the two parted ways. Xi Huang returned to the Fire Cloud Cave to discuss Ao Bing's plan with the other Holy Emperors, to see if there was anything that could be improved.

Ao Bing hurriedly headed to the area below Longzhou, which was the original site of Buzhou Mountain and is now the territory of the Wu tribe.

The Wu Clan's territory is too close to the heart of Longzhou, and by choosing to locate their territory below the heart of Longzhou, the Wu Clan undoubtedly gained a great advantage over Ao Bing.

This matter needs to be resolved. Otherwise, dragging it out will be bad for both sides and could easily lead to bigger conflicts.

The reason why the Goddess Houtu wanted to see Ao Bing was to discuss this matter with him and see how to resolve it. It was obviously impossible to get the Wu tribe to leave the Buzhou Mountain ruins, and Ao Bing couldn't do that either.

Because the Wu tribe indeed possesses a natural right to rule this place. Mount Buzhou was left by the great god Pangu, and the Wu tribe are descendants of the great god Pangu.

If Mount Buzhou still existed, and the Wu tribe claimed control over it, no one would agree. But now that Mount Buzhou is gone, leaving only ruins, the Wu tribe claims it as their territory, and no one in the prehistoric world would object.

After all, they are descendants of the great god Pangu. Why go to such extremes? Letting the Wu tribe gain some advantage is fine, and they can also express their respect for the great god Pangu through this matter.

Therefore, it was impossible to get the Wu tribe to leave the Buzhou Mountain ruins, but it is a fact that they stayed here and took advantage of Ao Bing.

There should be some compensation; otherwise, if the neighborly relations become too strained, it might not have a significant impact on Ao Bing, but the Wu tribe's future will be difficult.

Therefore, Ao Bing's meeting with Houtu Niangniang was to discuss compensation matters.

Ao Bing can allow the Wu tribe to remain at the Buzhou Mountain ruins, but they must offer him some compensation. What that compensation will be depends on the outcome of their negotiations.

The Pangu Temple is not a treasure among treasures, but the most solid object in the primordial world, and it can also be said to be the most defensive treasure in history.

Even a near-eternal treasure wouldn't necessarily be able to shatter the Pangu Temple. This is because it was formed from the skull of the great god Pangu. And the skull is often the hardest part of the human body.

Pangu was very fair. Each of the Three Pure Ones received one-tenth of the merit for creating the world, and they were also born with the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, a treasure of acquired merit.

In addition, they even had a connection with the most precious treasures created at the beginning of time. Their blessings were so profound that they were close to being the greatest in the primordial world.

Compared to them, the Wu Clan seems quite inferior. They did not receive any merit from the creation of heaven and earth, nor were they born with any treasures of acquired merit, and they were even ineligible for any treasures of the creation of heaven and earth.

However, the Wu tribe possessed the Pangu Temple. This single temple surpassed everything else.

Just look at the current understanding of the gods in the primordial world. Everyone agrees that only two treasures are most likely to be promoted to semi-eternal treasures: the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Pangu Temple. The three great creation treasures are not even among them. In fact, in the eyes of the gods, they would be lucky to even be promoted to chaotic treasures.

A near-eternal treasure is only really possible if the three are combined; it would be very difficult to separate them.

This shows that the Pangu Temple is far superior to the Creation Treasure.

The Wu tribe already has the Pangu Temple, so naturally they don't need any other treasures. Giving them anything more would be showing them too much favoritism, which isn't a good thing.

After the ancient times, the demon race declined and never recovered. The witch race, on the other hand, is slowly recovering its strength over time, seemingly unaffected by the backlash from heaven and earth.

The root cause lies with the Pangu Temple. The protection of the Goddess Houtu could only prevent the Wu tribe from being bullied by other tribes, but it could not shield them from the backlash of heaven and earth.

After all, that was a heinous crime that destroyed the primordial world. If it really reached its limit, even if the Wu Clan were descendants of Pangu, they wouldn't be able to withstand it and would inevitably have to pay a heavy price for it.

But the existence of the Pangu Temple undoubtedly changed this. The backlash from heaven and earth, to put it bluntly, is being burdened by karma, making one unlucky and making cultivation much more difficult. Not only is it hard to calm the mind, but it's also easy to go astray in cultivation.

For cultivators, this was worse than death. This is why the demon race couldn't recover its strength; cultivation became difficult, future generations couldn't grow, and decline was inevitable.

But the Wu Clan is different. No matter how strong the backlash from heaven and earth is, they only need to hide in the Pangu Temple. Hey, they can directly block out the Heavenly Dao. Not only do all the negative influences disappear, but their comprehension is also doubled.

This is the Pangu Temple, not only the hardest thing in the primordial world, but also the most secret place in the primordial world.

Even the Heavenly Dao was unaware of what was happening inside. This was because the Heavenly Dao was also isolated by the Pangu Temple, and nothing He could do within the Pangu Temple could affect it.

This is why, after the fall of the Ancestral Witches, the Witch Clan was able to produce powerful figures like Xing Tian and Chi You, who were in no way inferior to the Ancestral Witches.

Xing Tian was able to take Hao Tian down with him, demonstrating his strength was comparable to that of the Ancestral Witches. Similarly, Chi You, capable of contending with the Holy Emperor, must also possess the combat power of a great supernatural being.

So what if the heavens and earth suffer a backlash? As long as they cultivate in the Pangu Temple, the Wu Clan will not be affected in any way and can continue to grow stronger.

This is why people look down on the demon race but are quite wary of the witch race. Because no one knows just how many powerful figures the witch race harbors.

With the Pangu Temple in place, if the Wu Clan truly wanted to conceal their strength, even the Heavenly Dao would be unable to estimate their true power.

An enemy whose strength is unknown is the most terrifying. Therefore, the Witch Clan has always been a source of fear.

It is precisely for this reason that the Pangu Temple became a sacred place for the Wu tribe, and throughout history, no one outside the Wu tribe has ever set foot here.

Few people know what it looks like inside; outsiders are very curious, but none have had the chance to see it.

Now, under the personal welcome of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, Ao Bing became the first person outside the Witch Clan to set foot in the Pangu Temple in the primordial world.

The Pangu Temple, though called a temple, is actually a vast world inside, a boundless and chaotic expanse filled with terrifying chaotic energy.

Stepping into this place is like leaving the primordial wilderness and entering the chaos.

"The foundation of the Witch Clan is truly profound!"

Ao Bing was deeply moved by what he saw. He had previously heard people say that the Wu tribe were a bunch of brainless brutes who only knew how to destroy and not how to build, and he had been somewhat skeptical.

But now, he's starting to believe it.

The fact that the Wu Clan could still be in its current state despite having the Pangu Temple shows that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were indeed not very capable.

This chaotic world is equivalent to the remnants of the consciousness of the great god Pangu, possessing boundless power. In other words, with such a treasure, the Wu Clan has no shortage of resources.

There's no need to go out and search; they can be completely self-sufficient, and even have a surplus. For one thing, simply raising ferocious beasts here can create endless wealth.

In addition, one can create heaven and earth here and generate endless creations.

However, the Wu tribe, possessing such a treasure, showed no intention of making use of it. They simply left it unattended, doing nothing except cultivating in the area.

Nothing was done, absolutely no development!
Upon learning this, Ao Bing was almost laughing in anger; he had never been so speechless. Back then, in the war between the Lich and the Demon Clan, the Lich Clan's defeat was truly well-deserved.

After obtaining the boundless starry sky, the demon race was eager to fully exploit its potential value. However, the witch race, possessing such a treasure trove, had no intention of making use of it whatsoever.

The difference in strength between them is obvious. If the Wu tribe doesn't lose, who will?

The reason the Wu tribe didn't develop this chaotic space was also absurd. This place was formed from the Father God's sea of ​​consciousness, and it was already a great fortune for them to be able to enter it to cultivate. How could they disturb this place? This would be a great disrespect to the Father God.

Upon hearing these words from the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, Ao Bing immediately laughed and couldn't help but retort, "The primordial world was transformed from the Great God Pangu. When you were destroying it, why didn't anyone mention any disrespect?"

With just one sentence, Xuanming Ancestral Witch blushed deeply, her face turning bright red. She wanted to refute him, but couldn't utter a single word.

Because what Ao Bing said was true. Back then, they were all blinded by the calamity energy and lost their minds. All they could think about was how to destroy the demon race, and they didn't care about anything else.

Although I came to my senses afterward, the damage was already done, and it was too late for regrets.

"If you have resources but don't use them, it's no wonder you can't defeat the demon race and end up with both sides suffering heavy losses."

Ao Bing showed no mercy to the Wu Clan, as he was stunned by their ignorance. Could there really be such foolish people in the primordial world? It could only be said that the Wu Clan's behavior was somewhat out of place in the primordial world.

Or perhaps the morals of ancient times were not as corrupt as they are now, so most people were still very simple and honest?
Thinking of this, Ao Bing felt it wasn't impossible. After all, social customs don't deteriorate overnight; it takes time.

"Fellow Daoist is right. Our Wu Clan's behavior back then was indeed somewhat foolish."

"Even if we don't manage the Pangu Temple the way you manage Dragon Continent, but just develop it the way the demon race manages the starry sky, so that it can play a greater role, my witch race wouldn't have fallen to this state."

"At least we won't end up perishing together with the demon race."

The Goddess Houtu appeared and affirmed Ao Bing's assessment. Back then, she didn't think the Wu tribe had done anything wrong; showing reverence for the Father God was only right.

Looking back now, it seems that our actions back then were indeed somewhat foolish, even stupid. Having good things and not using them—isn't that just plain stupid?
