131: The Road Ahead for the Witch Clan

Seeing Hou Tu's solemn expression, Taiqing knew that the pressure she felt at this moment was too great.

He quickly spoke to comfort her; while pressure can be a good thing, too much of it is not.

Excessive pressure would be detrimental to Hou Tu's cultivation.

Hearing Taiqing say this, Hou Tu's face was no longer as solemn, and she began to relax.

"Additionally, there is one more matter I should mention.

This elder brother has spoken of this with Fuxi and the others before."

"Big Brother Taiqing, please speak. We will all listen to you. As long as we brothers and sisters are of one mind, what does it matter even if it is the Heavenly Dao?"

The Ancestral Witches and The Two Qings didn't immediately recall what Taiqing had discussed with Fuxi and the others previously.

"That matter concerns the future direction of our Wu Race; we will not participate in the struggle for hegemony over the Primordial World.

You already know the causes and outcomes of the previous struggle between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans.

This elder brother has also explained the details to you.

If the Wu Race does not seek hegemony, it will not be easy for the Heavenly Dao to find a weakness to exploit.

Even if the Heavenly Dao supports another race to deal with us,

if we do not engage, It can do nothing to our Wu Race."

Taiqing saw that none of his younger brothers and sisters had taken the matter of the Wu Race not seeking hegemony over the Primordial World to heart.

He couldn't help but press his palm to his forehead and sigh. He had already stated twice that the Wu Race would not seek hegemony.

These younger siblings had actually treated his words like wind passing by their ears.

"Big Brother Taiqing, if we do not seek hegemony over the Primordial World,

the resources near Mount Buzhou alone might not be enough to support the cultivation of the entire Wu Race, right?

Although the Wu Race is currently small in scale and consumes few resources,

we all know the potential of our race.

In time, I fear even the entire Central Continent will be unable to support the Wu Race's cultivation."

Di Jiang spoke with some concern.

Their own cultivation alone consumed a terrifying amount of resources.

Furthermore, the Wu Race would only grow more numerous in the future, and the resources consumed would likely be beyond counting.

"This is the other matter This elder brother wanted to discuss—the path ahead for our Wu Race.

Our Wu Race is naturally suited to absorbing Evil Qi for cultivation.

With the twelve-grade pure world white lotus, we can naturally ensure the stability and safety of the Wu Race's Primordial Spirit.

And within the Primordial World, there are still vast areas shrouded in innate malignant qi, unsuitable for living beings to survive.

As long as our Wu Race absorbs the Evil Qi from those territories completely, it will be a deed of great Karma.

In this way, we can not only support the Wu Race's cultivation but also obtain great Karma.

At that time, with great Karma upon us, even the Heavenly Dao will have no way to move against us.

Any race supported by the Heavenly Dao would not dare to strike at a Wu Race that possesses such Karma."

Taiqing slowly revealed the plan in his heart; this was a decision he had made after careful consideration.

Taiqing felt that the fact the Wu Race was born capable of absorbing innate malignant qi was not as simple as it seemed.

This should have been specifically designed by Father Pangu, like a path specifically prepared for the Wu Race.

Managing and absorbing that endless innate malignant qi in the Primordial World was the Innate responsibility of the Wu Race.

As long as the Wu Race managed and absorbed the innate malignant qi of the Primordial World, the Wu Race would naturally remain safe and sound.

Unfortunately, the original Wu Race did not follow this path at all.

Instead, they fell headfirst into the pit dug for them by the Heavenly Dao, competing with the Yao Race for hegemony over the Primordial World.

Sure enough, after Taiqing spoke these words, a sense of realization dawned in the hearts of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

It felt as if managing and absorbing the innate malignant qi of the world was indeed their natural duty.

And in the deepest part of the Pangu Hall, where the pangu tablet was enshrined,

the pangu tablet also swayed slightly, as if it were endorsing Taiqing's words.

"Big Brother Taiqing, we understand. This truly seems to be the path Father Pangu prepared for us.

In the future, we will surely lead the Wu Race to properly manage and absorb the world's innate malignant qi.

Moreover, I have a feeling that after absorbing the innate malignant qi,

the Karma bestowed will be the perfect medicine to solve the Wu Race's Primordial Spirit problem."

Di Jiang spoke with some excitement, and the expressions of the other Ancestral Witches were similar to his.

Watching the Twelve Ancestral Witches react this way, Taiqing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Could it be that I really just stumbled upon the truth by pure luck?

Did I actually discover a sustainable development path for the Wu Race?"

Taiqing asked himself in his heart with some disbelief.

Unfortunately, no living being was destined to answer this question for him.

Perhaps Pangus Will could answer him, but after its last descent, Pangus Will had fallen into silence.

It was unknown how long it would take before it could recover and descend upon the Primordial World once more.

"Good. Since all my Wu brothers and sisters agree, then the future path of the Wu Race is decided.

We will not participate in the struggle for hegemony; we will only manage and absorb the world's innate malignant qi.

Of course, if there really is a race that is blind enough to dare provoke our Wu Race,

our Wu Race will respond with the most fatal of blows."

While the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches were planning the future of the Wu Race, far away on the Eastern Continent,

at the Shore of the East Sea, more than ten Grand Unity Golden Immortal experts were gathered.

Among them, the leaders were precisely the founders of the Yao Race whom Taiqing was wary of—The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi.

Naturally, Xuan Qing was also among the leaders.

As for the followers, they were naturally the future Ten Great Demon Sages of the Demon Race Heavenly Court.

On the way to Penglai Immortal Island, The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi had completely gathered the Ten Great Demon Sages.

As for the fallen Demon Sage Fei Dan, he was replaced by a new fellow named Fei Lian.

Fei Lian was also a famously powerful member of the Yao Race in the Primordial World.

His true name also contained the character 'Fei', so it was normal for the Heavenly Dao to bring him in to replace Fei Dan's position.

At this moment, The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi already possessed the initial qualifications to struggle for hegemony over the Primordial World.

After avoiding the Calamity of the Conflict between Dao and Demon for a period of time, Di Jun and Tai Yi set out once more with their subordinates.

Now, they had finally arrived at the Shore of the East Sea.

On this day, three living beings appeared ahead of the group of experts, engaged in a great battle.

The reason for their battle was that they had simultaneously discovered an Innate Spirit Treasure.

The aura emitted by that Spirit Treasure was clearly that of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Hahaha, what a truly great Opportunity, a great Opportunity indeed.

To think we would encounter the birth of another Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Could it be that this Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure only emerged to wait for us after sensing our presence?"

Seeing a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure being born, Tai Yi's mouth curled into a wide grin.

Throughout their travels, they had only encountered a few Low Grade, Medium Grade, and high grade innate spirit treasures.

For top-tier Innate Deities like them, if it wasn't a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, they hardly gave it any regard.

The Low Grade, Medium Grade, and high grade innate spirit treasures encountered on the way

had all been bestowed by Di Jun to his ten subordinates to win their loyalty.

Encountering a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure naturally made them incredibly happy.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing, how about the old rules?"

Di Jun and Tai Yi looked toward the silent Xuan Qing.

The 'old rules' they spoke of were naturally the rules they used when they first met to decide the ownership of the exiled immortal wings.
