Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

The foot of the mountain was shrouded in mist, because the world had just been created and the great calamity of ferocious beasts had not yet passed, and the chaotic aura had not yet completely dissipated from Buzhou Mountain.

"The primordial energy was still present, which is why the gourd vine was later able to produce gourds containing primordial energy and various laws."

"Then this must have been absorbed by the spiritual root through its connection to the earth's spiritual veins!"

"The Earth's Spiritual Veins~"

As Zhen Yuanzi said this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, he did not, like the other treasure-hunting creatures in his memory, plunge into Buzhou Mountain and wander around exploring.

He simply closed his eyes and channeled his own Earth Qi into the spiritual veins of the earth beneath his feet.

Whether it is an innate spiritual root or an acquired spiritual root, whether it is of the highest or lowest grade, they are all rooted in the spiritual veins of the earth.

Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation of the Earth Great Dao encompasses all things in the world. Therefore, as long as a spiritual root is born now, even if it has not yet developed, matured, or reached the time of its birth, it cannot escape his perception!

As he said before: before the tunnel was revealed, he was the tunnel!

Even if Heaven were to cover it up now, all living beings would still have nowhere to hide from the perception of the Earthly Dao, which holds the power over them!

As the Earth Qi slowly merged with the earth veins below, the veins of this first immortal mountain in the primordial world unfolded like a vast map in Zhen Yuanzi's sea of ​​consciousness!

Where in the mountains are there spiritual springs, grotto-heavens, unformed creatures, spiritual roots, and spiritual treasures? Everything is clearly visible!

"Truly worthy of Mount Buzhou!"

Even Zhen Yuanzi, who possessed numerous supreme spiritual roots, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

In his perception, the number of spiritual roots on Mount Buzhou was countless!

Among them, the most eye-catching are the spiritual roots hidden in various places on the mountaintop!

First, there is a blue lotus growing on Linghu Lake, its red flowers yet to bloom.

Secondly, there is a gourd vine that has produced seven miniature gourds.

Thirdly, there was a jujube tree that was entirely fiery red but had no dates...

These plants are all top-grade innate spiritual roots!

Unfortunately, like the Four Symbols Spiritual Roots, they are still far from maturity, even longer than the Four Symbols Divine Tree.

Zhen Yuanzi shifted his perception from his spiritual root to his spiritual treasure, and immediately sensed a giant hammer wreathed in purple lightning on the mountainside.

The innate spiritual treasure, the Purple Lightning Hammer.

Deep within the belly of Buzhou Mountain, a golden gourd floats, emanating a terrifying suction force that devours all things!

It is indeed the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron!

The many magical treasures each possessed their own unique mysteries, and even Zhen Yuanzi was momentarily dazzled by them.

However, none of these are what he needs most right now; what he needs to find is the Pangu Temple!

As long as he finds the Pangu Temple, he can use Pangu's essence blood to comprehend the laws and achieve the goal of helping the underground path awaken ahead of schedule.

But just as he used the earth's spiritual veins to find the Pangu Temple hidden beneath Mount Buzhou,

The appearance of a magical treasure startled him!

"This is……"

Beneath the temple formed from Pangu's heart and filthy blood and turbid energy, a lotus flower was hidden!

This lotus is pure white, with petals layered like ice sculptures, exuding an extremely pure and ethereal aura!

This energy can purify all the filth in the world; it is truly a top-grade innate spiritual treasure…

"A twelve-petaled pure white lotus?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes.

"How did it get here? I don't remember it ever being born... hiss~"

Suddenly, Zhen Yuanzi seemed to realize something.

The Pure White Lotus possesses the power to purify all filth in the world, including impurities, bloodlust, murderous intent, malevolent energy, and even demonic energy.

Everyone believes it should be in the purest place in the world, but the reality is quite the opposite!

It is located beneath the Pangu Temple, which is enough to prove that this must have been the work of Pangu's consciousness!

Pangu, who slew three thousand demon gods and created the world, possessed a righteous spirit, a murderous aura, and a fierce and malevolent aura in his heart!

The malevolent energy and remnants of three thousand demon gods, combined with turbid air, transformed into countless ferocious beasts.

If Pangu's malevolent energy is not purified, coupled with the tainted blood and essence of his own body, it will surely become a great calamity in the primordial world once it takes human form!

The future Ancestral Witch will lead the Witch Clan to unify the prehistoric world, but they will rule under the true lineage of Pangu.

It's like a father who establishes a dynasty, and after his death, his sons all live in harmony and inherit the throne without vying for it; it's perfectly natural.

Furthermore, they absorbed the earth's impure energy, benefiting the primordial world!

In contrast to the demon race, which only sought to unify the primordial world and attain enlightenment, the witch race was truly worthy of its position.

If Heaven hadn't harbored selfish motives, fearing Pangu's resurrection and the Wu tribe's control of the primordial world, the Wu tribe would have been able to annihilate the demons in the first and second wars, and wouldn't have suffered such a tragic fate in the future.

This proves that the Ancestral Witches were all benevolent witches of the primordial world, and their ability to become benevolent witches was most likely due to the purification power of the White Lotus under the temple!

Without purification, given the power of their father god Pangu, they would probably be even more terrifying than the ferocious beast race after transforming!

The Pangu Temple is a forbidden place not only for the primordial beings and chaotic demons, but also for the Heavenly Dao itself!

Even Heaven itself dares not investigate, let alone see what lies beneath the temple.

Therefore, if Zhen Yuanzi had not awakened the Pure World White Lotus in advance to help the Earthly Path, it would never have been discovered, much less come into the world!

"Such an opportunity, I will certainly not waste it."

With a flick of his wrist, Zhen Yuanzi revealed the Earthly Mirror in his palm.

As the Earthly Mirror slowly sank into the earth, Zhen Yuanzi's body also disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was outside the huge Pangu Temple, and a pure white lotus flower appeared in his left hand!

The purifying power of the Pure White Lotus can not only suppress the malevolent energy of ferocious beasts, but also suppress Rahu's world-destroying demonic energy in the future.

With such an opportunity before him, Zhen Yuanzi naturally wouldn't miss it. Moreover, he needed this treasure to enter the Pangu Temple and block its dense bloody aura.

The Great Dao of Earth, which is cultivated, also requires the power of purification!

The Pangu Temple is simple and unadorned, seemingly built from pieces of blood-stained stone, and is enormous.

The towering palace gates were tightly closed, with no inscriptions of the Great Dao on them, yet they seemed to carry the phantom image of Pangu from the time of creation!

Zhen Yuanzi took a step forward and tried to get closer, but was blocked by an invisible force when he was three zhang away from the palace gate.

No matter how much he used the power of the Earth element or the power of space, he could not penetrate it. Instead, he was bounced back by an immense pressure!

"Spatial Barrier! Pangu's Might!"

Zhen Yuanzi was more solemn than ever before. He hurriedly summoned the Earthly Mirror, the World-Suppressing Staff, and even the Myriad Phenomena Sinking Sand at the same time to resist this pressure.

The pressure was extremely strong. The moment they made contact, Zhen Yuanzi was unable to withstand it. He broke out in a cold sweat, and even his magic weapon was shaken off.

But in the next moment, this overwhelming pressure surprisingly dissipated!

This strange occurrence greatly alarmed Zhen Yuanzi.

"It's subsided? Why?"

Zhen Yuanzi then combined his memories from later generations to begin his deductions.

"It was only after I used three genuine magical treasures to block this oppressive force that it subsided!"

"Is this a test or a recognition?"

"inevitable!"

"The Witch Clan is destined to rule the heavens and the earth! Even if the Witch Clan is plotted against by the Heavenly Dao in the future, it will be Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, who will represent the Earthly Dao. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot change this matter!"

"In other words, the Witch Clan's rule is an order and rule that transcends the Heavenly Dao!"

"Then this rule must have originated from their father god—Pangu!"

Having realized this, Zhen Yuanzi's mind became even clearer.

"That's why later on, Gonggong angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain. The Heavenly Dao was willing to suffer damage and destruction, but it was also a scheme to make the Ancestral Witch break this rule herself, so that the Ancestral Witch would make a mistake, thus imprisoning Houtu and suppressing the Underworld!"

"My presence here now, wielding the treasure of the Earthly Dao's authority, is in accordance with the will of Pangu, which is why the oppressive aura has subsided!"

"If I were to control the underground passage and help it awaken ahead of schedule, the Twelve Ancestral Witches would surely become my allies!"

"Conversely, I will also help them become the representatives of the local communities I will be in charge of from now on!"

"If this aligns with the will of Pangu, then I can certainly use them—first to control the earth, then to plot against the heavens!"
