Primordial Era: I am a gourd vine, starting with seven gourds combined into one.

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, Hongyun had already established the Heavenly Court. With Lin Yang as his backer, Zhou Tianxingjun serving him, and fellow disciples like Xuanfeng, Zhenyuanzi, and Minghe helping him, he was able to sit securely in his kingdom.

However, something had recently been bothering him. It turned out that the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who had been the catalyst for the final battle of the Great Calamity, had been captured and taken to the starry sky.

But before Lin Yang could kill Luo Hou and quell the situation, he unleashed a terrifying array, the supreme array of the Wu Clan—the Dutian Shensha Array—which was comparable to top-tier arrays such as the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array, the Zhu Xian Sword Array, and the Xiantian Five Elements Array.

At that critical moment, the twelve ancestral witches suddenly had an epiphany and unleashed this great formation. The twelve ancestral witches instantly merged into one, greatly increasing their strength. Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, they escaped from the starry sky.

After that, given Lin Yang's strength and status, he no longer personally took action to capture the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but instead handed the matter over to his disciples.

This also serves as a test for Hongyun and his disciples.

However, what was originally thought to be a minor matter turned out to be unexpected in subsequent attempts.

Hongyun realized something was wrong. With the abilities of the Twelve Ancestral Witches alone, it was impossible for them to escape the Heavenly Court's repeated captures.

Therefore, there must be others secretly making things difficult for me.

Or perhaps, is this a test of one's teacher?

After much deliberation, Hongyun concluded that the two most capable of doing so were Yuanfeng and Zulong.

But these two had just been subdued by their teacher, especially Zu Long, they shouldn't have had such audacity.

These two were merely stirring things up from the shadows.

The real force was someone else!

"It would be best to discuss this matter with my fellow disciples first," Hongyun muttered to himself.

So, Hongyun ordered his men to find several of his fellow disciples, and Nuwa also came.

Then Hongyun shared her thoughts with everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned. Only Xuanfeng, the senior disciple, remained calm.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi secretly nudged Hongyun, signaling her to look at Senior Brother Xuanfeng.

Hongyun, being quick-witted, asked, "Does Senior Brother know who the person in the shadows is?"

However, no one knew that Xuanfeng's background was that of the Six-Eared Macaque, one of the Four Mischievous Monkeys.

When Xuanfeng saw that Hongyun was asking for advice, he didn't presume and said with a smile, "Before my teacher went into seclusion, he asked us to assist you in becoming the Heavenly Emperor. Now that you have come to ask me for advice, I will tell you."

"Yuanfeng and Zulong did contribute a lot to this matter, but they weren't involved much. Even if they complained to the teacher, they would still be in the right."

"But the ones who truly helped the Twelve Ancestral Witches escape capture by the Heavenly Court were actually these people..."

Xuanfeng waved his hand, and instantly, portraits appeared in the void.

The portraits depicted innate deities, both male and female, all lifelike and incredibly vibrant.

"You need to pay special attention to these three. Their origins are extraordinary. They are said to be the true descendants of Pangu, and are much closer to the Great God Pangu than the Twelve Ancestral Witches," Xuanfeng said to Hongyun and the others, pointing to three of the portraits.

"Even closer to the Great God Pangu than the Twelve Ancestral Witches?" Hongyun and the others were also dumbfounded.

Xuanfeng didn't hold back and explained the background of the Three Pure Ones in detail.

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, realizing that there was such a deeply rooted innate deity in the world, who was actually born from the primordial spirit of the Great God Pangu.

"My teacher once told me that if these three hadn't been born a generation too late, I'm afraid that the one who could be the protagonist now, looking down on the world, would not be him, but also Zu Long and Yuan Feng." Xuan Feng also sighed with emotion about the Three Pure Ones.

After sighing, Xuanfeng continued to instruct, "This Taoist is called Fuxi. He is highly skilled in divination and is adept at calculations. He can also conceal the secrets of heaven. The Twelve Ancestral Witches were able to escape time and time again, and his role was the greatest."

"Fuxi?"

Nuwa looked at the man in the portrait, blinked, and for some reason, looking at Fuxi gave her a feeling that he was very familiar.

But unfortunately, she had no memory of it at all; in fact, she had never even met the other person.

But the more this was the case, the more confused she became.

She absolutely had to meet this man named Fuxi.

Meanwhile, Xuanfeng continued to instruct the other innate deities, "This one is called Lei Ze, he cultivates the Way of Thunder, and his use of the Thunder Divine Art is quite good..."

"And then there's this one called the Queen Mother of the West, who helped the Twelve Ancestral Witches escape. She played a significant role too. She possesses a magical artifact called the Kunlun Mirror, which can travel through time and space..."

"Time travel?"

Upon hearing this, Hongyun's eyes lit up. He recalled how the Twelve Ancestral Witches had inexplicably escaped from the Heavenly Army's encirclement each time. Now that he thought about it, it all made sense.

After careful consideration, Hongyun bowed to everyone and said, "To capture the Twelve Ancestral Witches, we need to capture these Primordial Saints as well; that would be the safest course of action."

"I, Hongyun, am not talented, but I humbly request the assistance of my fellow disciples!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanfeng, Zhenyuanzi, and Minghe all laughed and said, "Of course we'll help you."

Seeing this, Nuwa also came to her senses and said, "Count me in too."

Hongyun laughed and then shared his proposed solution with everyone.

"This plan is excellent. However, we have been taught by our teacher to cultivate these supernatural powers, but we have not yet had the opportunity to use them. This is also an opportunity. Why don't you let one of these innate saints be my opponent?" Xuanfeng said with a smile, eager to try.

Upon hearing this, Styx's eyes lit up, and he said, "I have no interest in the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but I would like to have a go at one of the Three Pure Ones. Please grant my request, Senior Brother."

"I want the one named Fuxi," Nuwa said most directly.

Zhen Yuanzi thought for a moment and felt that he could not be an exception. So he pointed to the Queen Mother of the West and said, "I want to test the power of the Kunlun Mirror and see what kind of power the so-called time travel has."

Seeing that everyone had spoken and had specified their opponents, how could Hongyun possibly disagree?

After repeatedly devising a plan, they intended to gather a large army again to besiege and capture the twelve ancestral witches, as well as a group of innate deities who had intervened.

This also establishes his authority as the Heavenly Emperor.

However, these are all issues that Lin Yang considers to be the problems of a junior.

Although this group of innate deities had considerable power when gathered together, Lin Yang's years of cultivating his disciples had not been in vain.

Therefore, although Lin Yang knew all of this clearly, and even knew about Zu Long and Yuan Feng's little tricks, Lin Yang did not intend to interfere.

At least for now, he won't intervene.

He is now powerful, but he doesn't want the primordial world to become a stagnant pool.

Whether these powerful individuals under his command were his own or not, he let them cause trouble as they pleased.

The bigger the commotion, the more interesting it might seem!

Leaving aside how Hongyun and Xuanfeng went to besiege the Twelve Ancestral Witches and a group of innate deities, let's talk about Lin Yang, who was in seclusion in the Ziwei Palace, comprehending the Creation Jade Tablet and absorbing the much information within it.

In the blink of an eye, many cycles had passed. On this day, suddenly, Lin Yang's body trembled, and a vast aura emanated from him.

However, as soon as this aura was released, Lin Yang immediately contained it, preventing it from spreading and causing an astonishing phenomenon.

At this moment, Lin Yang's Great Dao underwent another transformation, the eighth time. He was only one final transformation away from achieving final enlightenment, the ninth transformation.

Lin Yang's cultivation has become more profound, and his magical power and the Great Dao have become more powerful.
