174: Lich standoff

Within the Pangu Shrine on Mount Buzhou.

Seeing the Yao Race make several major moves in succession, first establishing the Demon Script and then attaining the Heavenly Marriage.

The Heavenly Court was truly bustling!

During that great battle with the Immortal Court, Dijun led the demons of the Heavenly Court to manifest the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Drawing upon the starlight of the Zhou Tian Star Dou, they wiped out the Immortal Court in one fell swoop.

The Ancestral Witches also realized the overwhelming power of Formations.

Coincidentally, they also inherited a Formation from their Bloodline Legacy.

It required the bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches as the foundation and the Pangu essence blood within them as the catalyst to summon the descent of the Pangu True Body.

This Formation was far more impressive than some starlight array!

Previously, they had only set up the Formation occasionally in their spare time.

But after returning this time, the Ancestral Witches had been contemplating and practicing within the Pangu Shrine.

Now, they had finally reached Major Achievement.

Looking out again, the Heavenly Court had truly developed too rapidly.

At this moment, the Ancestral Witches were also sitting in a circle, discussing important matters together.

"Damn it, those Yao Race people are establishing scripts and holding a Heavenly Marriage, yet they didn't even notify us. They truly don't respect us at all," Ancestral Witch Qiangliang said with an angry expression.

Having such a neighbor who constantly makes a fuss right above your head without even giving you a heads-up.

No one would feel good having such an eccentric neighbor.

Zhu Rong's eyes rolled as a plan came to mind.

"Why can't we learn from them and create a Wu Script, or attain an Earthly Marriage or something?"

Coming up with two ideas at once, one could only say the Idea King was still at work.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Ancestral Witches' eyes lit up.

Why could the Yao Race do it while his Wu Race could not?

You have the Demon Script; I have the Wu Script.

You hold a Heavenly Marriage; I'll have an Earthly Marriage.

Let's see who is stronger.

Dijiang looked at Zhu Jiuyin again, "Second Brother, what do you think?"

Zhu Jiuyin stroked his few thick whiskers and pondered,

"The matter of the Wu Script is quite good. Since our Wu Race has developed to this day, some characters have already been gradually inherited."

"It only needs some improvement to be completed."

"Good, then this matter is left to you!" Dijiang arranged it directly without another word.

"This..."

Being assigned a task for no reason, what kind of situation was this?

Zhu Jiuyin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was glared at fiercely by his eldest brother.

Dijiang stood with his hands on his hips and fists clenched, his muscles bulging.

The Ancestral Witch posed with the full majesty of an elder brother, "What, if you don't do it, are you waiting for me to do it?"

"Hehe..." Zhu Jiuyin smiled bitterly.

He knew that if he didn't agree, his eldest brother really would come.

But with his fists.

Next, Zhu Jiuyin began to analyze the feasibility of attaining the Earthly Marriage.

The Idea King only needed to come up with ideas; as for the subsequent matters, there was much to consider.

But it must be said, the Earthly Marriage seemed unexpectedly compatible with the Wu Race.

The Ancestral Witches were born from absorbing the earthly turbid Qi, and they established the Wu Race with the divine Mount Buzhou as their foundation.

Developing to this day, the figures of the Wu Race were everywhere on the Primordial Land.

"Only, who should be the one to attain this Earthly Marriage?"

After hearing Zhu Jiuyin's analysis, the Ancestral Witches also began to ponder this question.

They were all rough and careless, usually not having such thoughts.

And as for who among them had the greatest affinity with the earth and was most suitable for the Earthly Marriage... the Ancestral Witches all looked toward Houtu.

Indeed, Houtu was born from the Law of the Earth and was the only one among them to have birthed a Primordial Spirit.

She was the most capable of maximizing the benefits of the Earthly Marriage's Karma.

Being stared at like this, Houtu felt a bit at a loss.

Seeing this, Zhu Rong smiled and said, "I think we should let Little Sister..."

Before he could finish, a jade-like foot kicked him in the face, sending him flying.

The owner of this jade foot was not Houtu, but Xuanming.

Watching Zhu Rong roll several times on the ground, Xuanming warned the other Ancestral Witches, "Don't think that just because Little Sister has a soft personality, you can bully her. Ask me first if I agree."

"Xuanming, we are only doing this for Little Sister's own good..."

Houtu was indeed the beloved of all the Ancestral Witches; they were indeed thinking of her.

Zhu Jiuyin wanted to continue persuading, but was also glared back by Xuanming.

"Fine, fine..."

Seeing how fierce Xuanming was and that Houtu had no intention of getting married, the Ancestral Witches dropped the matter.

After this, Zhu Jiuyin and Dijiang exchanged glances, finally ready to discuss the main point of this meeting.

At Dijiang's signal, Zhu Jiuyin continued, his voice now carrying a hint of gloom.

"Those two feathered beasts, Dijun and Taiyi, it's one thing for them to establish the Yao Race and the Heavenly Court to develop their own power."

"What's hateful is that they are actually thinking of becoming the Heavenly Emperor and unifying the Primordial World."

"The Primordial World was transformed from the Father God; how can we allow them to control it?"

"As descendants of the Father God and Pangus Legitimate Successors, we have the responsibility to guard this world for him."

"How could Dijun and Taiyi be worthy!"

Hearing this, the Ancestral Witches all nodded in agreement.

The Wu Race was nurtured from Pangu's essence blood and born inheriting Pangu's Legacy.

No matter how you looked at it, they were more suited to manage this world than Dijun.

Now, before the Wu Race had even spoken, Dijun of the Yao Race was already rushing to become some Heavenly Emperor.

How could they tolerate this?

"Therefore, we must now establish our stance against the Yao Race."

"We can fight, we can wage war, but we absolutely cannot sit by and watch them lay hands on this world left behind by the Father God."

As the words fell, the Ancestral Witches all looked toward Dijiang.

Although this eldest brother seemed a bit unreliable and often bullied them with his strength.

But because of that, Dijiang held great weight in the hearts of the Ancestral Witches.

For a plan on this strategic level, he had to make the final decision.

Dijiang crossed his arms over his chest, his expression dark.

Looking up towards the Heavenly Court, he suddenly threw a punch, causing the Law of Space to ripple.

Then he roared, "A mere Yao Race, let's crush them!"

This roar instantly ignited the Battle Intent in the hearts of the Ancestral Witches.

"Crush them!"

"Beat them!"

"Send them flying!"

...Roars filled with primitive Battle Intent echoed out from the Pangu Shrine.

Piercing through layers of the Void Realm, they reached the Heavenly Court.

Hearing the Ancestral Witches' declaration, the high-level members of the Yao Race were not afraid at all.

One after another, their figures manifested, staring back at the Ancestral Witches.

Taiyi, at the very front, had golden light flowing in his eyes, and the tolling of a bell surrounded him, showing full Battle Intent.

At this time, Dijun also appeared before the demons.

Things had reached this point; the situation of confrontation between the Wu and Yao had long since been established, and he was powerless to change it.

But now was not yet the time for a formal war.

Dijun reached out to press down on Taiyi, holding him back.

After staring at Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches for a while, he waved his hand, signaling Taiyi and the other Yao Saints to withdraw.

Although Taiyi was very frustrated, he would not disobey his elder brother's decision.

After returning, he immediately began secluded cultivation to seek further improvement in his strength.
