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

In Zhen Yuanzi's later memories, the fate of the Twelve Ancestral Witches could be described as extremely bitter.

Because they were born too late, they were supposed to rule the world, but they were plotted against by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, and ended up either dying or being controlled!

Especially Houtu, the ancestral witch.

Houtu took Pangu's true lineage with her physical body and essence, and later cultivated her primordial spirit.

Such a background is enough to make him the best among all the primordial beings, without exception!

She's practically Pangu's most beloved daughter, his most cherished youngest daughter!

Despite being favored by the emperor, she was still outmaneuvered!

Even though he later attained the status of a Saint of the Earthly Path and wielded the power of the Earthly Path, he was still manipulated into becoming a puppet raised by the Heavenly Path!

The way of Heaven is to use her confinement as a basis to suppress the way of Earth and control the way of Humanity!

It made the primordial wilderness its domain, ensuring that no living being could escape its influence!

With these memories, Zhen Yuanzi naturally understood that Houtu was uniquely favored by Pangu.

He wanted to firmly grasp the power of the underground passage and then use the ancestral witches to plot against Heaven.

Then, just like the way of Heaven, we must use Earth as the foundation and Earth as the starting point to change the fate of all the Ancestral Witches!

At the summit of Mount Buzhou.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed with the light of the Earth element as he looked at the Twelve Ancestral Witches and said:

"Are you all willing to dedicate the remaining half of your merits to Houtu?"

The moment the words were spoken, the eleven Ancestral Witches, including Dijiang and Zhujiuyin, responded in unison without the slightest hesitation:

"We reply to the teacher, we are willing!"

Although they did not understand the deeper meaning of what their teacher, Zhen Yuanzi, said.

But even before they took human form, they had already received the kindness of their teacher. Now that they have been born ahead of schedule, they will naturally obey the teacher's words.

not to mention,

With the approval of the Father God Pangu, they were certain that this teacher would never harm them!

Seeing that his disciples didn't understand, Zhen Yuanzi readily agreed, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

This is the unity of the ancestral witches, and this is the trust in their teacher!

As a teacher, he naturally wouldn't let his disciples give away their merits without understanding why.

Zhen Yuanzi slowly sat down cross-legged. As he waved his right sleeve, twelve earth-yellow futons appeared on the ground beneath the ancestral witches.

"sit."

"Thank you, teacher."

The twelve ancestral witches obeyed and sat down as instructed.

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze fell upon his disciples, and he began to preach to them, explaining the doubts in their hearts:

"As the master of the earth, I should follow the laws of the earth in the primordial world."

"Since you are my disciples, you should naturally follow suit. Moreover, you are descendants of the great god Pangu, and you were born to manage the primordial world for your father god."

"However, you are all formed from the essence and blood of the Great God Pangu, and you were born with only physical bodies governed by laws, without any primordial spirit."

"Although I was able to refine my body to its ultimate level using the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique left behind by the Great God Pangu, I still lacked a bit of spiritual essence."

"You must follow the laws of the earth and govern the primordial world from now on. Without primordial spirits, the world will be unstable."

"Now that you have become my disciples, within my Great Dao of Earth, within the Earthly Dao, your primordial spirits can cultivate..."

"Your primordial spirits should be aided by immeasurable merit to help your physical bodies break free from their shackles and give birth to the fundamental essence of your primordial spirits within your bodies."

As he preached, Zhen Yuanzi's gaze fell upon Houtu, who had already shown signs of doubt.

"Houtu was born with the power to control the laws of the earth, which is as profound and inclusive as the earth's way that I control. She is the ancestral witch among you siblings who is most in harmony with the primordial spirit and essence."

"If one takes the merits of the Earthly Path as the foundation and the merits of the Creation of Heaven as the aid, one can surely cultivate a primordial spirit within a physical body of immeasurable merits!"

"As long as she takes this first step, you ancestral witches, being of the same origin as the blood essence of the great god Pangu, will also be able to cultivate your primordial spirit in the future."

"This will be of great benefit to you, to the underground world, and to the primordial world."

Upon hearing their teacher's words, all twelve Ancestral Witches showed expressions of delight and surprise.

Although they are physically strong and confident, they are also well aware that having only a physical body without a primordial spirit is their weakness.

After all, their father god Pangu also cultivated both his physical body and his primordial spirit!

Upon hearing their teacher's words that the primordial spirit could be cultivated, they were so excited that they all bowed down.

"We express our deepest gratitude to our teacher for his guidance and instruction."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Yuanzi summoned the Earthly Mirror and the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, mobilizing the spiritual veins of Buzhou Mountain to gather at the mountain peak, forming a large Earthly Book Array.

This formation is not only a defensive formation, but also a formation that uses the authority of the underground passage to store and gather fortune, preventing merit and fortune from leaking out!

"You may proceed with confidence within this formation."

"We thank you, teacher."

The twelve ancestral witches bowed in gratitude again, but when they looked up again, they found that their teacher, Zhen Yuanzi, was no longer there and they did not know where he had gone.

"Respectfully seeing off the teacher."

After Zhen Yuanzi left, the twelve Ancestral Witches looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement and gratitude.

Although the Father God is not here, how could I not be moved by the great help I received from my teacher?

He is a teacher, much like a father god!

As the eldest brother, Dijiang first suppressed his emotions and solemnly addressed his younger brothers and sisters:

"We siblings will immediately follow the teacher's words."

"Little sister Houtu, sit down under the eye of the great array set up by your teacher, and you will cultivate your primordial spirit when immeasurable merit enters your body."

"Okay." The gentle voice conveyed decisiveness and determination.

This act was for their ancestral witches, for the earthly path under their teacher's control, and for the primordial world; Houtu would naturally not refuse.

As Houtu responded, the twelve Ancestral Witches simultaneously set off and sat down cross-legged in the great formation.

Houtu sits beneath the Earthly Mirror and the central apricot-yellow flag of the Earthly Branch Wuji.

Eleven ancestral witches, including Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, Zhurong, and Gonggong, sat cross-legged around her, each with her as the center.

As the eleven Ancestral Witches unleashed their respective laws, streams of golden merit and fortune surged from their bodies, spreading outwards like streams without direction!

However, despite the central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner resembling a ginseng fruit tree stimulating the spiritual veins, the merits and fortune did not spread outwards from within the formation.

Furthermore, under the influence of the Earthly Mirror, a supreme treasure of earthly authority, all merits and fortunes converged towards Houtu in the center, following the patterns of the spiritual veins!

These merits include those that help awaken the earth's way, and even more so those that are gained from the creation of heaven!

Each of the eleven ancestral witches divided their merits into half, and the resulting merits and fortune flowed around Houtu like a vast golden river, dazzlingly bright.

Bathed in the golden light of merit, Houtu felt the merit transmitted from her elder brother and sister, and immediately began to absorb it with the source of the laws...

One Yuanhui later.

Within Houtu's sea of ​​consciousness, a faint wisp of her soul has already ignited.

Nourished by the golden light of merit, the soul grows slowly like a seed that has just broken through the soil.

First, it condensed a point of shimmering white light, followed by an earthy yellow light. After an unknown period of time, this wisp of soul had become a point of light and primordial spirit capable of cultivating Taoist techniques!

This primordial spirit went through several eons, gradually transforming from a point of light into a phantom resembling Houtu...

hum!

On this day, as the illusory image of the primordial spirit continuously absorbed the golden light of merit, it finally became clearer and clearer, and the originally illusory figure was born with divine radiance!

The moment the last wisp of merit merged into it, Houtu's primordial spirit suddenly shone with golden light!

Then the golden light passed through Houtu's head and condensed into three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit on her head!

Upon seeing this, all the ancestral shamans were overjoyed and rose to their feet, exclaiming in surprise:

"This is... the Three Flowers on Top!"

"Houtu has attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through her primordial spirit!"

"It's done! Just as the teacher said, it's done!"

"No, it's not just a Grand Luo Golden Immortal; the aura released by Houtu is—the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!"
