Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 50 The First Great War Between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan

After defeating Tongtian, Hongyun's consciousness returned to his body. He shuddered and woke up, opening his eyes.

I felt that my overall condition was better than ever before, even better than when I entered the dream.

However, the injuries he sustained during his battle with Tongtian in his dream were not shown in the slightest.

In that dream, although everything felt so real, it was actually still an illusion.

Whether it's the scenes in the dream, one's own physical body, primordial spirit, etc., they are all just fake things simulated by the system.

"Ding, congratulations host, you have defeated Tongtian from ten thousand years in the future. You can choose one of the following three as your reward."

"I. A few insights into swordsmanship from Tongtian."

"II. A few insights into the formations that reach the heavens."

"Third, a cultivation level of ten thousand years that reaches the heavens."

Upon hearing the three rewards offered by the system, Hongyun quickly ruled out the third one. Although ten thousand years of cultivation was considerable, it was easily attainable.

Compared to the first two rewards, this ten-thousand-year cultivation level is quite insignificant.

As for the remaining two rewards, either the profound insights into swordsmanship or the insights into formations, Hongyun hesitated only for a moment before choosing the second one.

Insights into formations.

Zhen Yuanzi is right. A person's energy is limited, and it's impossible to be omnipotent. Even with cheat codes, it's difficult to achieve omnipotence.

Therefore, Hongyun chose to focus on his understanding of formations, which he was already good at.

He also wanted to see what unique skills Tongtian had in terms of formations.

As soon as Hongyun made her choice, countless pieces of information appeared in her mind.

However, they were all Tongtian's insights into formations.

Although the system indicates a small quantity, this small quantity is not insignificant.

Hongyun closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then combined his understanding of the formation with Tongtian's, studying them together.

Finally, after a long time, Hongyun opened his eyes, and his understanding of the formation had increased considerably.

Moreover, and most importantly, he gained Tongtian's understanding of formations from his insights into formations.

This way of thinking was very important to Hongyun, giving him a lot of inspiration, and even allowing him to re-examine his previous understanding of formations from a perspective that reached the heavens.

Through this back and forth, they naturally benefited quite a bit.

After that, Hongyun continued his seclusion and cultivation, and another ten thousand years passed. During this time, the conflict between the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan became increasingly intense.

In the end, however, it was inevitable that the two races would go to war.

"Boom!"

One by one, the twelve Ancestral Witches revealed their true forms, including the spatial Ancestral Witch Dijiang, who had six legs and four wings and resembled a strange bird.

Gonggong, the ancestral water god, had a python's head and a human body, covered in black scales, stood on a black dragon, and had a green python wrapped around his hand.

The Time God Zhu Jiuyin, with a human head and a dragon's body, and his entire body was crimson.

Ru Shou, the Golden Ancestor, is a creature with a human face and a tiger's body, covered in golden scales, with wings growing from its shoulder blades, a snake piercing its left ear, and riding two dragons.

Jumang, the ancestral wood-based witch, was as green as bamboo, with a bird's body and a human face, and rode two dragons.

Thunder Ancestor Witch Qiangliang, etc., with a snake in his mouth and a snake in his hand, a tiger's head and a human body, four hooves and long elbows.

Each ancestral witch's true form was countless millions of feet tall, standing between heaven and earth, as if reaching to the sky and standing on the ground.

They exuded an extremely strong murderous aura, each one of them was exceptionally fierce, and their physical bodies were terrifying.

Generally speaking, for cultivators in the prehistoric world, manifesting their physical bodies to be too large would actually make them less agile.

Moreover, it exposed many weaknesses.

However, these things did not exist for the Ancestral Witches; their physical bodies were not only large, but also incredibly powerful.

He can even use his physical body to directly confront the magical weapons of Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng.

In addition, each Ancestral Witch possesses a Great Dao Law, and with every gesture, she combines the power of this Great Dao Law with physical combat techniques.

It can be described as being invincible, fighting against heaven and earth.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng encountered an unprecedentedly difficult battle. Even Tai Yi's proud innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, could not gain the upper hand in this battle.

Taiyi attacked the Ancestral Witches with the Chaos Bell, but even the power of this innate treasure was insufficient to injure them.

Their physical bodies are incredibly powerful.

He actually braved the Chaos Bell to fight Taiyi.

If Taiyi is like this, then Dijun and Kunpeng are even more so. If Dijun had not already severed his two corpses, he would be a mid-stage Quasi-Saint.

His cultivation and magical power are extremely strong, and his strength is close to that of Taiyi, who possesses the Chaos Bell.

With the two brothers joining forces, they absorbed most of the Ancestral Witches' firepower, and Kunpeng would probably have been defeated and fled long ago.

In the final moments of this great battle, it was thanks to Fuxi's compassion that he joined the fray, playing the ancient zither.

This helped Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng escape their predicament and get out of danger. The Twelve Ancestral Witches were relieved to see Fu Xi as a powerful ally.

Furthermore, with Nuwa yet to make a move, the two sides were evenly matched, and in the heat of the moment, it was difficult to defeat Di Jun and the others.

Only then, out of mutual respect, did both sides withdraw their armies and cease fighting.

However, after this battle, neither side is willing to give up, and another battle is bound to happen sooner or later.

Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple.

Hongyun silently watched the battle, then continued her secluded cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed, and more than a hundred thousand years later, Zhen Yuanzi was the first to emerge from seclusion.

He successfully slew the second evil corpse, and his cultivation improved significantly, reaching the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

After Zhen Yuanzi broke through and emerged from seclusion, several thousand years passed. Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from the Mingdao Palace.

Hongyun also successfully severed the corpse, but he used the Four Symbols Dao to sever the evil corpse incarnation.

He also became a mid-stage Quasi-Saint.

Over the course of more than 100,000 years, the primordial world underwent tremendous changes, and the conflict between the witch and demon races on the primordial land grew increasingly intense.

Although the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not take action, the Witch Clan had many Great Witches who led their warriors to exterminate the Demon Clan everywhere.

This caused almost no peace on the vast and desolate land.

Zhen Yuanzi had finally waited for Hongyun to emerge from seclusion, and immediately came to discuss the matter with him, saying, "The Witch Clan's actions are excessive."

"Moreover, from what I observe, many beings, who are not of the demon race, have also been implicated. If this continues, it will likely be more of a curse than a blessing for the witch race."

Hongyun nodded and said, "Brother, do you perhaps have some ideas?"

Zhen Yuanzi said, "Although you said that this calamity is a matter between the two races and that we shouldn't interfere, we do have a deep relationship with the Ancestral Witches and have received many favors from them. Even if we can't help them now, shouldn't we at least remind them?"

Upon hearing this, Hongyun pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, you are kind-hearted, which I cannot match. Moreover, it is true that not all creatures on the primordial land are demons. The actions of the Wu Clan have forced creatures that were not originally demons to become demons. If this continues for a long time, the demons will become stronger and, through the Wu Clan, will unify the other races."

As he spoke, Hongyun shook his head repeatedly and said, "How about this, brother? Although the Ancestral Witches may not listen, Fellow Daoist Houtu is an exception. She also has a kind heart. As long as we tell her about this matter and let Fellow Daoist Houtu persuade the other Ancestral Witches, the Witch Clan will probably restrain themselves."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said, "Then I'll go."

"Go."

Hongyun laughed and said, "It just so happens that I also need to go out for a while to my Fire Cloud Cave. I'm planning to try to move the Fire Cloud Cave back and combine it with Longevity Mountain. What do you think, brother?"
