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

"Fellow Daoists, aren't you going too far with your actions?"

"Humans are beings created by my junior sister Nuwa, and are part of our primordial world. What's wrong with this old Daoist traveling here?"

Having made up his mind, Lao Tzu did not hesitate. He immediately summoned the Panlong Staff, struck the ground with it, and waves of magical power rippled outwards.

At this moment, he was no longer hunched over as before, and slowly straightened his back.

As he straightened his back, a powerful aura emanated from him.

Even when faced with that imposing figure, I remained completely unmoved!

[Wow, as expected of the leader of the Three Pure Ones! I never imagined that he would not only consolidate his foundation during this period, but also sever his third corpse!]

In the back hall of Pangu, Ye Kai noticed this scene and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. The aura that Laozi had just released was the aura of a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses.

In the present primordial world, perhaps only Laozi and Hongjun could completely sever all three of their three corpses.

This is true not only now, but probably in the future as well!

In that case, my siblings, relying solely on that illusory figure, will likely find it difficult to suppress me.

Thinking of this, Ye Kai couldn't help but let his eyes gleam.

If Dijiang and the others are difficult to deal with, he will have no choice but to take action himself.

After all, Dijiang and the others have already taken action, and as their brother, he can't just sit idly by!

"We can't suppress this old power struggle? You underestimate us!"

"Today we'll crush this old gambler and show him our power!"

"You must understand, for the past few thousand years, it wasn't just me who was in seclusion cultivating; we were also in seclusion seeking enlightenment!"

"..."

Upon overhearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others were first taken aback, and then burst into laughter.

And they said it with absolute confidence!

After all, influenced by Ye Kai, they didn't run around, but instead stayed in the front hall to study the Buddhist scriptures.

After thousands of years of contemplation, they have all achieved some success.

That illusory image of the Ancestral Witch just now was their reward!

Now that Ye Kai has said so, they certainly can't let their younger brother look down on them!

Upon realizing this, Di Jiang and the others immediately trembled, and the laws of the Ancestral Witches erupted once again.

Above the human tribe, the phantom became even more solid and its power even greater!

"A mere Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses, yet you dare to act so arrogantly in my Witch Clan? Get down!"

They let out a low shout, then activated their witch power. The phantom moved accordingly, and a huge fist descended directly upon Laozi.

Faced with such a powerful fist attack, Laozi's old face tightened slightly. Immediately, clear energy circulated around his body, and streaks of blue lotus swayed out. In the sky, purple clouds stretched for miles, enveloping this side.

Under such overwhelming power, Lao Tzu could barely withstand the pressure of the fist shadow.

But the next moment, Dijiang and the others trembled again, making the phantom even more solid.

"Boom boom boom—"

The void trembled repeatedly, countless lotus flowers withered, and the purple aura dissipated.

Even Lao Tzu couldn't help but feel his stature shrink a bit.

"My ancestral witches, do you truly intend to ruin my opportunity?"

At this moment, Lao Tzu's expression also turned completely ugly.

He immediately waved his hand, and a golden light burst forth.

Then,

A pagoda flew out of his body and instantly grew to the size of a mountain.

Under the shadow of this pagoda, no matter how much power Dijiang and the others exerted, they were still unable to suppress it.

"It is the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth!"

"I never expected that I would even use this acquired merit treasure."

"The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is the number one defensive treasure in the primordial world. With this treasure protecting me, even the Twelve Ancestral Witches cannot do anything to me."

"..."

Those powerful figures who were watching couldn't help but freeze slightly upon seeing this scene, and they all exclaimed in amazement.

After all, many of them were seeing such a precious treasure for the first time!

[I never expected him to even use this treasure. It seems I'll have to stay out of the public eye and not make any moves!]

Upon sensing this in the Pangu Rear Hall, Ye Kai's expression also turned slightly serious.

Since Laozi has used his most precious treasure, it is not something that Dijiang and the others can shake.

In that case, it's time for him to make his move!

"No rush! Watch how we suppress him!"

"Brothers, let's go!"

"Old Bo Yi, get down!"

"..."

Having overheard Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others became even more focused, and immediately their bodies trembled as they arrived above the human tribe.

Ye Kai is watching now, they can't afford to lose face!

That is why they unleashed their power of law as soon as they arrived.

The laws of space seal off space!

The law of time freezes time!

……

As waves of laws erupted, Di Jiang and the others trembled repeatedly, suddenly returning to their original state.

Then, streams of law power came crashing down on Laozi.

"Boom boom—"

Faced with such suppression, Laozi's mind became even more focused, and his face turned pale.

Although he had severed his three corpses and possessed the Primordial Treasure of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, the number one defensive treasure in the primordial world, he was still somewhat inferior in the face of the combined suppression of the twelve Ancestral Witches!

He immediately froze on his feet and quickly unfolded the Tai Chi diagram.

Only in this way could he barely withstand the suppression of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

Even so, his expression remained grim. "Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, do you truly intend to thwart this old Daoist's path to sainthood, even at the cost of harming the humans here?!"

As he spoke, his aura trembled slightly, and lingering power spread out in all directions.

Even with the sealing effect of the Dijiang spatial laws, it still inevitably has a certain impact on the surrounding area.

Furthermore, those humans had no cultivation and were completely unable to withstand such pressure.

So, affected by the lingering effects, they all clutched their heads and lay prostrate on the ground in agony.

"You actually..."

"You, in your attempt to withstand our suppression, have actually extended this lingering influence to the human race!"

"You old gambler, you actually dared to threaten us with the human race! How shameless!"

"..."

Upon seeing this scene, Dijiang and the others' expressions changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly!

After all, these humans are all Ye Kai's tribes. It would be bad if they were injured because of their actions.

"Hmph! It's because you all wanted to ruin my chance to become a saint that I resorted to this tactic. Besides, I controlled the intensity; otherwise, their suffering would have been far more than just pain!"

Hearing what Dijiang and the others said, Laozi snorted coldly, completely unconcerned!

"After this is over, they will be grateful to the old Taoist priest."

As he said this, a chill crept into Lao Tzu's eyes.

In his eyes, these humans were not creatures from the primordial world, but rather the opportunity for him to attain sainthood!

If he can't get this opportunity, what does it matter if it's ruined?!

but,

No sooner had he finished speaking than...

"What a convenient way to thank you afterwards!"

A cold voice came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, a burly figure arrived, stepping through the air!

As he arrived, the surrounding void solidified, and the scattered residual power vanished instantly.

"It is His Majesty the Father!"

"Greetings, Holy Father! Thank you for saving our lives!"

"..."

The humans immediately regained their composure. Upon seeing Ye Kai, they were overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank him.

Although they didn't know what had just happened, they knew that Ye Kai must have saved them!

As he watched the crowd below bowing and expressing their gratitude, Ye Kai's expression darkened further.

"What kind of bullshit opportunity is this! I'll ruin your bullshit opportunity today!"

……
