Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

In the far south of the Great Shang Dynasty, above the main channel of the Xiang River, which stretches for thousands of miles.

A thick, dark cloud, as black as ink and spanning tens of thousands of feet, hung motionless in the heavens. There was no thunder within it, only the howling of an extremely biting wind.

The Taoist Zhunti was sitting cross-legged on a tattered futon deep within the dark clouds in an extremely lewd manner.

The area on his right shoulder where a thin membrane had just grown was shivering from the extremely low temperature.

Even the foul-smelling, dark golden holy blood was frozen into purplish-black ice shards.

"Lin Xuan, you damned old bastard! You made me suffer such a great loss, today I will freeze all the southern waterways of your Great Shang Dynasty into dead ice!" Zhunti swore through gritted teeth with extreme malice, his bitter face completely distorted by extreme hatred.

His only remaining left hand tightly held the ancient calamity-bringing treasure, the Heavenly Extreme Mystic Ice Box, bestowed upon him by Hongjun. The surface of this box was covered with densely packed ancient sealing runes.

Zhunti took a deep breath and, with extreme rudeness, used his left thumb to pry open the box, creating a tiny crack the size of a fingernail.

"boom!"

A deep, soul-piercing roar exploded in the clouds.

A thick, black, and extremely destructive aura of primordial ice transformed directly into a black waterfall, pouring down from the box with extreme violence and irrationality! This was no ordinary snow disaster; it was a source of calamity from ancient times capable of freezing the Great Dao.

This black, icy waterfall crashed down from thousands of miles above into the wide Xiang River below.

"Snap! Snap, snap!"

The extremely piercing sound of ice breaking and reforming instantly echoed throughout the far south.

The main channel of the Xiang River, which was originally swift and full of life, couldn't even hold on for half a breath the moment it came into contact with the black ice.

The giant waves surging on the river were frozen in mid-air, turning into pitch-black, hard ice in utter despair.

The giant fish demons and ordinary aquatic creatures swimming in the river didn't even have time to scream before their souls were frozen to pieces, turning into extremely tragic specimens in the ice.

The freezing speed was outrageous, spreading wildly along the waterways towards the interior of the Shang Dynasty, threatening to completely sever the lifeline of the Shang Dynasty's southern granary.

At this moment, inside an ancient crystal palace at the deepest part of the Xiang River.

This is the sacred site of the two naturally born twin beauties—the goddesses of the Xiang River, Ehuang and Nüying. The two sisters have lived in seclusion here since ancient times, never interfering with the primordial cause and effect, and quietly managing the water veins of the south.

But today, this terrifyingly cold air, which came down without warning, abruptly woke the two beauties who were in seclusion.

The gate was deformed by the force of the thick black ice.

Ehuang, dressed in an extremely dignified light blue robe, her exquisite face filled with solemnity, calmly sensed the destructive aura outside. She said to her younger sister beside her, "Nüying, a powerful being has disregarded the backlash from Heaven and forcibly unleashed the ancient law of extreme cold. The Xiang River, the lifeline we protect, has been frozen to death!"

Upon hearing this, the woman dressed in a fiery red outfit, with a lively and mischievous personality, was so angry that she immediately drew her twin swords from her waist.

"These shameless old bastards! Do they really think we Xiangshui people are easy to bully?! Sister, let's rush out and kill them!" Nüying roared fiercely, not afraid of any difference in cultivation level.

"We can't fight head-on! This is a saint-level technique!" Ehuang grabbed Nüying's wrist. With extreme decisiveness, she took out a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with flowing laws from her sleeve—the [Xiangfei Bamboo Seal].

With utmost resolve, Ehuang bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of her life essence directly onto the bamboo seal. Seeing this, Nüying also tacitly infused her own pure water essence into it.

The Xiangfei Bamboo Seal instantly burst forth with an extremely dazzling emerald green light, transforming into an indestructible life barrier that firmly resisted the black ice layer pressing down on the Crystal Palace.

Two forces, one green and one black, collided violently at the bottom of the river, producing a grinding sound that made one's teeth ache.

Zhunti, who was above the dark clouds, sensed the resistance below, swept his divine sense across the area, and let out a cold laugh of utter disdain.

"How dare two mere ants, at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, block my way!" Zhunti's extremely arrogant and brutal temper flared up instantly.

He completely disregarded the rule of bullying the weak and shamelessly burned a drop of dark golden saint's essence blood, transforming it into an extremely large amount of magical power that he frantically poured into the Heavenly Extreme Profound Ice Box.

The black ice stream spewing from the gaps in the Xuanbing Box instantly increased in power tenfold!

"Snap!"

With an extremely crisp cracking sound, the Xiangfei Bamboo Seal defensive barrier, which Ehuang and Nüying had poured all their efforts into, was crushed inch by inch by the ice layer like a fragile eggshell under the merciless crushing force of a saint-level being.

An extremely terrifying recoil force flowed directly into the meridians of the two women along the bamboo seal.

"Pfft!" Ehuang and Nüying coughed up a mouthful of blood at the same time, their bodies crashing against the wall of the Crystal Palace like kites with broken strings.

The cold poison instantly invaded their meridians, and even their fingers became stiff with cold.

Sensing the imminent annihilation of the Crystal Palace by the black ice, Ehuang's eyes were filled with utter despair. But the fierce resolve within her would not allow her to sit idly by and await her fate.

With extreme decisiveness, she mobilized the last bit of water essence within her body and violently thrust her divine sense into the deepest underground water vein node of the Xiang River, sending out an extremely desperate final cry for help towards the direction of Chaoge, the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty!

At that very instant, a system notification sounded crisply in Lin Xuan's mind, far away in Chaoge.

[Ding! Special causal fluctuations detected in the far south! The coordinates of the new female lead have been locked: Ehuang and Nüying (the two innate beauties of the Xiang River).]
