Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 77: The Twelve Ancestral Witches' Prophecy?

More importantly, they possess primordial spirits. The reunion of Pangu's primordial spirits and the activation of Pangu's Great Dao will have a significant impact on them, potentially causing them to unknowingly stray from the path of the Great Dao.

Furthermore, they did not believe that Yuan Yan and his three companions could remain of one mind with Nuwa and Fuxi when faced with the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus.

Even if they cannot reunite Pangu's primordial spirit and decisively defeat the world with a single blow, as long as Yuan Yan and the other three have a falling out with Nuwa and Fuxi, they may still be able to obtain the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus.

Instantly, the atmosphere on the field became tense. Yuan Yan and the other six, along with the Three Pure Ones, remained silent, watching each other warily, their Dao power solidified and unmoving, as if ready to make a move at any moment.

However, neither side made a move, remaining in a standoff and quietly waiting for the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus to fully mature and for the Innate Grand Array to dissipate on its own.

However, only a few hundred years later, before the twenty-fourth-grade Creation Lotus had fully matured and before the innate grand formation had dissipated on its own, thirteen imposing figures, exuding murderous aura, rapidly approached.

Without even needing to sense it, they knew that it was the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Great Witch Nine Phoenixes.

"Why are they here too?" Yuan Yan couldn't help but frown.

Even if it were just the Three Pure Ones, even if they formed a formation and drew upon the power of Pangu hidden deep within their primordial spirits, temporarily unleashing even greater strength, he was absolutely confident that he could suppress them and seize the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

However, if the Twelve Ancestral Witches are added, even if their side has six Great Luo Golden Immortals at the peak of their cultivation, and even if he is ready to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm at any time, he still doesn't have absolute confidence.

Of course, due to their innate limitations, the Twelve Ancestral Witches would find it difficult to use spiritual treasures and might not participate in the competition for the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus. Even if they did participate, they might not stand on the side of the Three Pure Ones.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones once fought each other over the name of Pangu's authentic lineage, so their relationship wasn't very good.

Their side has six Great Luo Golden Immortals at the peak of their cultivation, all of whom are top-tier innate saints. No one, regardless of who they are, would dare to offend them easily.

However, these twelve ancestral witches and the great witch Jiufeng are ultimately a variable.

Moreover, it is quite obvious that their side is the strongest. If the Twelve Ancestral Witches want to compete for the Creation Lotus, the best option would be to join forces with the Three Pure Ones to eliminate their side first, and then compete for it.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yan became even more wary of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. With a thought, he communicated with the Yuan Realm, Yuan Wheel, and Yuan Spirit in the dark, telling them to prepare.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches choose to join forces with the Three Pure Ones, they will go all out, temporarily merging their essence, energy, and spirit into Primordial Chaos Power, unleashing its immense strength to stop the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, thus buying him time.

At this moment, the terrifying and vast Dao energy of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Nine Phoenixes entered the special field formed by the confrontation between Yuan Yan and the Three Pure Ones.

In an instant, the special field changed, transforming from a standoff between two parties into a standoff between three parties.

"Is this the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus?" Upon seeing a portion of the scene within the Innate Grand Array, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Nine Phoenixes were all shocked.

"Houtu, is this Creation Lotus the opportunity you sensed?" Dijiang asked through the bloodline connection.

At the same time, they constructed a special communication space through blood ties. When they sent out messages, the other Ancestral Witches and Nine Phoenixes could hear them, but the Three Pure Ones and Yuan Yan and others outside could not detect them at all.

"No!" Houtu replied without the slightest hesitation.

She didn't want her brothers to misunderstand and then compete with the Three Pure Ones and Yuan Yan for the Creation Lotus.

The Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus is excellent, being a supreme innate treasure and a primordial spiritual root.

Unfortunately, due to their innate limitations, they were unable to use it at all. Even if they managed to snatch it, it could only gather dust in the Pangu Palace.

It would be unwise to offend the Three Pure Ones and powerful beings like Yuan Yan for such an unusable treasure.

"Then what kind of opportunity did you sense?" Xuanming asked curiously.

"I'm not sure either! But it should be within the innate grand formation as well."

"Doesn't that mean the Creation Lotus is an opportunity for the Three Pure Ones or Yuan Yan and others?"

"If you ask me, who cares whose opportunity it is, let's just snatch the Creation Lotus too!" Zhu Rong said nonchalantly.

"Zhurong, do not act recklessly!" Dijiang warned.

He wasn't a brainless fool. If the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus was destined for Houtu, they could have easily snatched it. The fact that the Three Pure Ones and Yuan Yan failed to obtain the Creation Lotus simply meant they were less skilled.

However, the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus was not meant for them, yet they still tried to seize it by force. That would create a great karmic connection with the Three Pure Ones, Yuan Yan, and others, and they would certainly not give up so easily.

If they could use the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus, then such a supreme innate treasure would be worthwhile for them to form a karmic bond with the Three Pure Ones, Yuan Yan, and others. However, since they cannot use the Creation Lotus at all, it is not worthwhile.

"Why don't we help Yuan Yan and Nuwa snatch the Creation Lotus? I've been annoyed with those three guys for a long time. They're just fragments of the Father God's primordial spirit, yet they dare to look down on us, the bloodline of Pangu," Gonggong said unhappily.

"Although I don't get along with Gonggong, I support him this time," Zhurong shouted.

After a moment's hesitation, Qiang Liang also spoke up: "I also think it's feasible. Didn't you all say that the four Yuan Yan brothers are unfathomable and can only be befriended, not offended? This is a good opportunity to make them owe us a favor."

"That's right, it can indeed help Yuan Yan and the others. It's a good opportunity to teach the Three Pure Ones a lesson and let them know who the true descendant of Pangu is." Several Ancestral Witches echoed in succession.

"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, Dijiang fell into thought, feeling somewhat tempted.

"Brothers, you mustn't!" Jiufeng quickly advised, "I think we shouldn't interfere in their dispute. We should just help Sister Houtu obtain the opportunity that belongs to her!"

"Why is that?" Dijiang asked in confusion, as he still valued Jiufeng's opinion very much.

This is not only because Jiu Feng is Qiang Liang's younger sister and has some of Pan Gu's essence blood in her body. Although she is not yet a Primordial Witch, she is not comparable to a Primordial Great Witch and has the potential to become a Primordial Witch.

Furthermore, because Jiufeng displayed remarkable wisdom, serving as their strategist, and was favored by the Father God, possessing the special ability to see and foresee the future.

Once, Jiufeng prophesied that Donghuang Taiyi possessed the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure from the creation of the world, and that Dijun Taiyi was their nemesis. As it turned out, they felt intense hostility towards Dijun Taiyi as soon as they saw him.

Jiufeng also prophesied that Taiqing Laozi possessed the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, a treasure of acquired merit, and that Hongjun would attain sainthood and preach three times in Zixiao Palace—all of which were later confirmed.

However, Jiufeng's ability to foresee the future is not entirely accurate:

For example, the Nine Phoenixes prophesied that when Hongjun preached in the Zixiao Palace, six special futons would be set up. These six special futons contained great opportunities, and in the end, Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti would sit on the futons.
