Primordial Era: I, the Lamp Burner, intercept the Western opportunity at the outset.

Three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the process of burning lamps to refine essence and blood is nearing its end.

Because his essence blood was not fully refined, and because his original cultivation level as a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal covered up his strength, the twelve Ancestral Witches around him could not discern the strength of Randeng's physical body at this moment.

However, the subtle pressure emanating from Ran Deng's body made some of the Ancestral Witches feel the pressure.

Among them, the Wood Ancestor Witch Jumang is now only at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. He sensed that the pressure emanating from Randeng was almost the same as his own.

"It's not like this Burning Lamp absorbed that ball of essence blood and its physical strength broke through to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, is it?"

Ju Mang thought to himself, "I have been constantly exploring the power of my bloodline, and I have only just reached the physical strength of the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal. This Randeng can reach the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal just by absorbing the essence blood of the Twelve Ancestral Witches."

While his original cultivation level certainly played a role, this was still far too exaggerated. It made his efforts over several eons seem like a joke.

Located at the center of the 12 Ancestral Witches, Randeng secretly sensed the strength of his physical body. He was not surprised that his physical strength had reached the peak of the Taiyin Golden Immortal realm.

He was originally a top-grade innate spiritual treasure law, which gave him a natural advantage in terms of physical strength. After absorbing the blood cluster formed from the essence of the twelve ancestral witches, his physical strength naturally rose to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

He opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. He stretched out his left hand and slowly made a fist. Without using the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, spatial cracks appeared in his palm.

Ran Deng was very satisfied with this. In his plan, now that he had obtained the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts of the Witch Clan, he naturally had to make himself a well-rounded warrior with no weaknesses.

One must cultivate magical power, the Great Dao, and the physical body to the highest level.

"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, you've finally finished the refining. How are you feeling now?"

Houtu asked, "Do you sense anything is amiss?"

Randeng shook his head. "When I refined the essence blood of my fellow Daoists, I did not find any residual power of laws or bloodline power. There was only the pure bloodline power of the Great God Pangu."

"Fellow Daoist, do you think it's feasible for me to use this method to cultivate a new witch clan?"

Dijiang eagerly inquired with Randeng. His most crucial purpose in gifting Randeng this essence of blood was to test whether the essence of the Ancestral Witch could enhance the physical strength of ordinary witches.

"It is certainly possible to create an ordinary witch body using the essence and blood of you fellow Daoists, but have you forgotten that the most crucial element in creating a living being is possessing that spark of innate spiritual light?"

Randeng mercilessly poured cold water on the Wu Clan. He didn't know how the ancestral witches of later generations used the blood pool to create the Wu Clan, but he clearly told the ancestral witches that using the essence blood of the ancestral witches could only cultivate a body, not a complete living being.

The twelve Ancestral Witches were stunned. Previously, they had only considered using the Blood Pool to create the Witch Clan, wanting to test whether their own essence and blood could improve the creation of the Witch Clan. However, they overlooked the most crucial point, which was the most basic innate spiritual light required by the Holy Spirit.

The most fundamental basis for the existence of living beings in the primordial world is that they possess that innate spiritual light, which can be understood as the most essential substance that makes up the soul or consciousness.

Just as the Five Ancestors did not have primordial spirits, they each possessed innate spiritual light.

The most fundamental difference between beings in the primordial world who cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is that they cultivate their innate spiritual light into innate immortal spiritual light, leaving their mark in the river of time. Even if they eventually perish, they can return to the primordial world by relying on that mark of innate immortal spiritual light.

Then the twelve ancestral witches followed suit, throwing their own essence blood into the blood pool to condense it into a mass of essence blood without attributes, and then using the supernatural powers in the blood pool to transform it into a blood cocoon.

A moment later, the blood cocoon ruptured, revealing a figure of a witch clan member, but whose eyes were tightly closed. Despite possessing physical strength, its spiritual realm was utterly dim.

Zhu Rong, the most hot-tempered member of the clan, slammed his fist on the floor of the Pangu Temple.

"Damn it, this will only create empty shells without consciousness."

Houtu stared intently at Randeng. For some reason, she felt that Randeng might have a solution.

"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, what are your thoughts on us ancestral witches creating the witch race using the blood pool?"

Ran Deng looked around at the other Ancestral Witches, pondered for a moment, and realized that although Zhu Rong, one of the Ancestral Witches, had been impolite to him at first, he was still very grateful that the Witch Clan had given him the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, which had increased his physical strength to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

"It's just that they lack innate spiritual light. As long as we can find that innate spiritual light, and with the guidance of your Pangu Blood Pool, we can create new Five Ancestors!"

Ran Deng chuckled as he made the suggestion, naturally knowing where to find innate spiritual light.

Di Jiang bowed slightly, his attitude extremely respectful.

"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, do you have any suggestions regarding the search for primordial spiritual light?"

"At the summit of Mount Buzhou, there is an innate, indestructible spiritual light. If you take it down and place it in your blood pool, after it has been nurtured in the blood pool, it should be able to continuously ignite the spiritual light in the bodies of the witch race you create."

He recalled the trajectory of later generations, and it was believed that the Wu tribe found this innate, indestructible spiritual light on the summit of Buzhou Mountain, which helped Houtu complete her original spirit and allowed her to continuously create more Wu tribe members and expand her territory.

This innate, indestructible spiritual light was also key to the war between the Lich King and the Demon King.

However, Randeng did not tell the Wu Clan that the treasures atop Mount Buzhou, besides the Innate Undying Condensed Light, also included the Pangu Jade Marrow, which was also a top-tier treasure in the primordial world.

Similarly, because they only have one innate, indestructible spiritual light, the Wu Clan can only choose between replenishing their primordial spirit and expanding their clan.

The kitchen is a special case because it is the last to be born and has the least absorption, making it the easiest place for a primordial spirit to be born.

"What? There's actually an innate, indestructible spiritual light atop Mount Buzhou? How did Fellow Daoist Ran Deng know about this?"

Di Jiang's tone was excited. He had been pondering the matter of the Wu Clan's lack of primordial spirit for several eons. The most important thing to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm was to prove the Dao, and the most crucial thing to comprehend the rudimentary form of the Great Dao was the primordial spirit.

"Fellow Daoists should know that I also have a mysterious connection with the Great God Pangu. This knowledge exists in my inherited memories. However, one must reach at least the level of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal to ascend to the summit of Buzhou Mountain."

Burning Lamp used inherited memories to cover up his knowledge of the undying spiritual light.

"It's alright, fellow Daoist. I'm already very grateful for this information. As for reaching the summit, we can do that when we reach the level of the Primordial Golden Immortal. We can go to the top of Mount Buzhou then. In any case, there are no races in this prehistoric world that can threaten my Wu Clan for the time being."

Dijiang was not in a hurry. He subconsciously believed that the demon race posed no threat, and they were not in a rush to obtain the innate immortal spiritual light.
