Primordial Era: I, the Thirteenth Witch, had my innermost thoughts overheard by my older siblings.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Kai was overjoyed and accepted the Flame Banner that had left the ground.

He never expected that Lao Tzu would be so easy to talk to!

"A small flag in exchange for you calling me 'Senior Brother'—it's worth it!"

Upon hearing Ye Kai's address, Laozi smiled and said seriously.

Upon hearing Lao Tzu's words, Ye Kai was also taken aback:

Something about what Lao Tzu said sounds a bit off.

[Even just the title of "Senior Brother" in exchange for a fiery banner that leaps off the ground is worth it!]

Win-win! Win-win!

……

With that thought in mind, Ye Kai stopped thinking about it and put away the Flame Banner.

Whether I did it on purpose or just to show off, the Flame Banner off the ground is now his.

He didn't suffer a loss!

"Haha, you're right, little brother. It's worth it to be called 'Senior Brother' in exchange for a Flaming Banner!"

"That old guy is really cunning! Even now he's still scheming?"

"We need to be careful of that old guy from now on!"

"..."

Upon overhearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others were taken aback for a moment before realizing what was happening.

Lao Tzu's statement may seem like a joke, but it was actually a way for him to save face.

After all, it wouldn't look good for him to have his Flame Banner stolen by Ye Kai in front of everyone.

But as Ye Kai said, whether Laozi did it intentionally or unintentionally, as long as they got the Flame Light Banner, they would have made a profit.

There's no need to care about these things anymore!

At that moment, Dijiang looked at Yuanshi and Tongtian, "Where are you two?"

Upon hearing Dijiang's question, Yuanshi's face darkened even more, becoming extremely ugly.

In his heart, he was extremely unwilling.

Compared to Yuanshi, Tongtian's eyes flickered slightly. "We are all fellow disciples, so naturally we should love and care for each other. I have already taken quite a few things. Since Fifth Junior Brother likes this Purple Thunder Hammer, I will give it to you."

As he said this, Tongtian waved his hand, and a small hammer flashing with purple lightning flew out.

[Fifth junior brother? Fifth is fine, it's better than sixth!]

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Ye Kai was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

However, he then smiled and put away the Purple Lightning Hammer, saying, "Thank you, Third Senior Brother."

"Is Lao Liu bad? What's wrong with Lao Liu? I think Lao Liu is great."

Upon hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Zhu Rong was taken aback and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The sixth one is the sixth one, the fifth one isn't the sixth one."

"Perhaps it's because the sixth child ranks lower than the fifth."

"Sixth Brother, do you have a problem with that?"

"..."

Hearing Zhu Rong's complaints, Di Jiang and the others couldn't help but smile knowingly and teased each other in whispers.

While they were joking around, Ye Kai looked at Yuan Shi with a smile and asked, "Bajie, what about yours?"

"Pigsy?"

Upon hearing Ye Kai address him in this way, Yuan Shi's expression hardened, and his brows furrowed.

What do the Eight Precepts and Six Precepts have to do with him?

"It's nothing, Second Senior Brother. As the senior brother, you should also take care of your junior brother."

Upon hearing Yuanshi's words, Ye Kai realized what he meant and immediately changed his words.

Upon hearing Ye Kai's words, Yuan Shi's expression darkened further. "Ye Kai, I will remember this!"

Without further hesitation, he summoned a small, earth-yellow flag.

And this small flag is none other than the Central Apricot Yellow Flag!

"for you!"

As Yuanshi said this, he threw the apricot-yellow flag over.

Upon seeing this, Ye Kai was overjoyed and immediately accepted the apricot-yellow flag.

This is a valuable treasure; it played a significant role during the Great Tribulation of the Gods!

"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods? What's that?"

"Could it be a cataclysmic event that threatens the heavens and earth? I've heard Hongjun mention it before?"

"No wonder my little brother cares so much about this little flag!"

"Since this is a cataclysmic event, our Wu clan must make proper preparations to prevent our clansmen from being harmed."

"Big brother is right!"

"..."

Having overheard Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others couldn't help but tense up.

Although the twelve Ancestral Witches were not afraid of the great calamity of heaven and earth, their witch clan was not just composed of these twelve Ancestral Witches, but also included hundreds of millions of witches.

As the ancestral witches of the witch clan, they have a duty to protect their people!

of course,

What they didn't know was:

The so-called Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is still in the distant future.

Now, their Wu clan is facing the Wu-Demon Calamity, which is ten thousand times more dangerous than the Conferred God Calamity!

Now,

Although Ye Kai accepted the Apricot Yellow Banner, the immediate troubles were not resolved.

When the immortals saw Ye Kai acquire three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, they couldn't help but become even more envious.

"Ye Kai, although you are a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor, you can't be so arrogant and domineering. We should also have a share of these treasures!"

"That's right. You've already collected so many high-quality treasures. Shouldn't you share the lower-grade spiritual treasures with us now?"

"Yes, the Dao Ancestor is distributing treasures here; he's not letting you have them all to yourself!"

"..."

As they spoke, they surrounded Ye Kai and the others.

Seeing this, Yuanshi couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, so you're greedy enough to incur public wrath. Let's see what you can do now!"

Just now, Ye Kai, relying on the protection of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, put pressure on the Three Pure Ones, forcing them to give up their top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

They will all be somewhat unwilling.

Now that they see Ye Kai about to suffer a setback, they are happy to see it happen, and some are even gloating!

"What do you want to do?"

"You think you can threaten my little brother?!"

"So what if we share the loot? So what if we take it all for ourselves?"

"..."

Upon seeing the immortals gather around, Dijiang and the others immediately stopped joking around, focused their minds, and unleashed the full power of the twelve ancestral witches.

Upon witnessing this scene, the immortals couldn't help but tremble slightly, a hint of apprehension creeping into their eyes.

After all, at this stage, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are still the top beings in the prehistoric world!

In particular, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had just forced the Three Pure Ones to submit, and their lingering influence made them even less likely to offend them!

But just as they hesitated, Di Jun, Tai Yi and the others suddenly became serious and went straight to the front.

"Do not be afraid, everyone. Even if they are strong, there are only thirteen of them. We, the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, are not afraid of thirteen people."

"That's right! No matter how strong you are, you can't possibly suppress us all!"

"Ye Kai, hand over the spiritual treasure, or we will never let you leave!"

"..."

Upon hearing Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the others start a commotion, the other immortals also tensed up and immediately resumed their previous imposing manner, pressing down on Ye Kai and the others.

Seeing this, Ye Kai's expression hardened slightly. "These people really are incorrigible!"

Ye Kai glanced at Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the others, his expression growing even more gloomy.

If it weren't for Di Jun and Tai Yi taking the lead, these people would have been suppressed by his older brother and sister.

But now that they have regained their momentum, it is impossible to suppress them again.

As for distributing the treasure to them...

If it were before, Ye Kai would indeed have had such thoughts.

After all, there are many treasures on the Treasure Distribution Cliff, many of which are of low quality or even completely useless to him. Giving them to these immortals to avoid incurring public wrath is not unreasonable!

But now that he has seen Di Jun and Tai Yi's performance, he has given up on this plan.

After all, judging from the way he's acting, even if he really does part with the treasure, these people might still take advantage of him.

Since that's the case, then let's do as they wish and let him have it all by himself!

but,

Even so, to truly possess it exclusively, a perfect strategy is still needed!

[To avoid verbal and written attacks, or even standing on the opposite side of the entire primordial world!]
