Chapter Twenty: The Twelve Ancestral Witches Emerge from Seclusion
Under Xuan Chu's guidance, fire and clothing appeared among the human race, greatly enhancing their ability to withstand the cold.
However, troubles always come one after another. Although fire and clothing allow humans to resist the cold, they cannot resist wind and rain. Moreover, the arrival of wind and rain often extinguishes the fire that humans rely on for survival, and the clothes soaked by the rain turn from warm to cold, making humans suffer greatly.
A human named Youchao came to Xuanchu with a question. Xuanchu took Youchao to the wilderness again, pointed to the bird's nest in the tree, and asked Youchao to observe it carefully. Youchao got inspiration from the bird's nest and used trees and dry grass to build the first house of the human race.
The appearance of houses not only gave humankind the ability to shelter from wind and rain, but also to avoid attacks from wild beasts. Heaven was moved and bestowed merit. Xuan Chu, as the guide, still received two-tenths of the merit. Xuan Chu also entered You Chao's body, and You Chao thus became the third Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivator of humankind. The house built by You Chao himself, after absorbing one-tenth of the Heavenly Dao's merit, also became the third acquired merit spiritual treasure.
Suiren, Ziyi, and Youchao made tremendous contributions to the human race. In addition, the three of them were the only three Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators in the human race, making them the strongest among them. Therefore, the human race revered the three of them as the three ancestors of the human race.
The appearance of the three ancestors of humanity brought about a great change in the fate of humanity. Originally, as the Holy Mother of humanity, Nuwa possessed 80% of the fate of humanity, while the remaining 20% was distributed among the three thousand innate humans. However, after the birth of humanity, Nuwa provided very little help to humanity. Therefore, after the appearance of the three ancestors of humanity, the fate of humanity on Nuwa instantly decreased by 35%. 30% was distributed among the three ancestors of humanity, while the remaining 5% was given to Xuan Chu.
As the future protagonists of the world, although the time for the human race to truly take center stage is still far off, the effects of the human race's fortune have already begun to emerge. After obtaining half of the human race's fortune, Xuan Chu discovered that his long-stagnant realm had become somewhat loose, but he still lacked the necessary refinement to break through to the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian realm.
In the Chaos Nuwa Palace, Nuwa, who was building it, sensed that the human race's fortune was draining from her body. She immediately felt uneasy. After calculating with her fingers, she discovered that 30% of the fortune had gone to the three ancestors of the human race. This was not a big deal, after all, Nuwa had never intended to occupy 80% of the human race's fortune forever. On the contrary, as the Holy Mother of the human race, even if only 10% of the fortune remained, as long as the human race prospered, Nuwa would benefit more. Besides, Nuwa felt that she was a demon, and as one of the protagonists of heaven and earth, the demon race's fortune was more important than the human race's fortune. So what if it was lost? It was only half a percent of the fortune. Nuwa couldn't figure out where it had gone no matter what she did. In the end, Nuwa had no choice but to give up.
However, Nuwa's indifference does not mean that no one else cares. Since the birth of the human race, Hongjun in Zixiao Palace has been paying close attention to the human race. As the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun knows the importance of the human race better than anyone else. When the human race's fortune changes, Hongjun will definitely pay attention. The appearance of the three ancestors of the human race is not surprising to Hongjun, but Xuan Chu obtaining half of the fortune is quite surprising to Hongjun.
However, because Xuan Chu had changed his appearance and name, Hong Jun did not know that the current human Li Changsheng was Xuan Chu. But Hong Jun would not take this anomaly lightly, so he sent a message to Tai Shang, saying that it was time for Tai Shang to play his role.
On the other side, inside the Pangu Palace, the Pangu Blood Pool was boiling wildly. Soon after, twelve streams of light flew out of the blood pool and transformed into twelve figures. These were the twelve Ancestral Witches who had received the complete version of the "Nine Revolutions Profound Technique" from Xuan Chu and entered the Blood Pool Secret Realm to cultivate. After tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, the twelve Ancestral Witches finally cultivated the "Nine Revolutions Profound Technique" to the sixth level of entry and successfully advanced to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
"Hahaha, I'm finally out of seclusion!" After being held back for tens of thousands of years, the Fire Ancestral Witch Zhurong burst into laughter as soon as he emerged.
Houtu frowned and said, "Brother Zhurong, keep your voice down. Uncle might be cultivating right now. You'll disturb him if you speak so loudly."
When the Twelve Ancestral Witches came out, they did not see Xuan Chu and assumed that Xuan Chu had gone into seclusion to cultivate.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Rong quickly covered his mouth, his eyes darting around. Seeing that Xuan Chu was not present, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Thank you for reminding me, Sister Hou Tu. I was really getting carried away."
In order not to disturb Xuan Chu's cultivation, the Twelve Ancestral Witches left the Pangu Palace. However, they learned from the other great witches that Xuan Chu had been away from Buzhou Mountain for ten thousand years and no one knew where he had gone, which puzzled the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
On the shores of the East Sea, Xuan Chu sensed the emergence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches from seclusion. He smiled knowingly and murmured, "These twelve little fellows have finally emerged from seclusion. Twelve Primordial Golden Immortals have set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation. Even Nuwa, the Heavenly Dao Saint, would have to suffer a crushing defeat. The change in the fate of the Witch Clan has finally taken its first step."
Due to the incomplete cultivation techniques of the Twelve Ancestral Witches in their previous lives, they could not all be promoted to the Primordial Golden Immortal level until the decisive battle between the Witches and Demons. However, by that time, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were no longer complete. First, Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation and was trapped in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Later, Zhurong and Gonggong were plotted against by the Heavenly Dao and fought fiercely, both of them perishing. Moreover, Gonggong angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain, causing Buzhou Mountain to break, and the last trace of Pangu's might left in the prehistoric world also disappeared.
Now all twelve Ancestral Witches have advanced to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm and are on the right path. However, it is impossible for all twelve Ancestral Witches to advance to the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Their biggest weakness is their single-soul divine nature. Although the legend of physical sainthood has always circulated in the prehistoric world, Xuan Chu, as one of the Chaos Demon Gods, knows very well that this is impossible. Among the twelve Ancestral Witches, the one with the best chance of cultivating to the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is Hou Tu, who will achieve the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the future.
Now that the Twelve Ancestral Witches have emerged from seclusion, Xuan Chu is also preparing to return to Buzhou Mountain. After all, the Witch Clan is the foundation of Xuan Chu. Although the Human Clan is good, as the future protagonist of heaven and earth and the grand stage for the competition among various forces, they are destined not to be able to be used entirely by Xuan Chu like the Witch Clan.
Xuan Chu returned directly to the Pangu Palace without saying goodbye to anyone, and then sent a telepathic message to the Twelve Ancestral Witches: "You all come to the Pangu Palace immediately."
Upon hearing Xuan Chu's telepathic message, the twelve ancestral witches, who were inspecting the various tribes of the witch clan, also hurriedly went to the Pangu Palace.
"Dijiang... greets Uncle!" The Twelve Ancestral Witches bowed to Xuan Chu.
"No need for formalities." Xuan Chu waved his hand and said, "You have finally advanced to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and you have not disappointed my expectations."
"Thanks to my uncle for passing on the Dharma, otherwise my brothers and I would not know when we would be able to advance to the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal," Dijiang said.
"Uncle, we have now advanced to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. You once said that as long as all twelve of us advance to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm and set up the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, the Pangu True Body that we summon will be defeated even if a Heavenly Saint comes. When does Uncle plan to lead the Witch Clan to attack the Thirty-Three Heavens?" The most warlike Zhu Rong looked at Xuan Chu with anticipation.
