14: Physical breakthrough

Flattery works every time; having a thick thigh like Pangu's to cling to is simply too wonderful.

It's just a few words of praise for Father God Pangu; Taiqing has plenty of energy for that.

After offering worship to the pangu marrow essence, Taiqing finally approached the first drop of pangu marrow essence.

pangu marrow essence has infinite uses, including reshaping one's Foundation, condensing the Pangu True Body, breaking through Bloodline limits, and many more.

"With this father gods marrow essence, we, the Three Pure Ones, can also Cultivate the father god true body."

"The Twelve Ancestral Witches, my younger brothers and sisters, can also break their limits and possess a Primordial Spirit."

"When the time comes, with fifteen Pangu True Bodies appearing, who in the Great Desolation could compete?"

"With the help of the Capital Gods Fiend Formation, we can summon the father god true body."

"I'm afraid even that Old Thief Hongjun after joining the Dao would have to steer clear."

Taiqing immediately sat cross-legged and began to refine the pangu marrow essence.

"It's truly too massive. I wonder what Realm my Physical Body will reach once it's completely refined."

One drop of pangu marrow essence is equivalent to a Minor Thousand World.

To completely absorb and refine it with Taiqing's current cultivation, who knows how many Yuanhui it would take.

Taiqing could only absorb a portion for now to strengthen his Physical Body and condense the Pangu True Body first.

As for the rest, it would be left to be refined slowly in the future.

Within the Innate Great Formation, Taiqing refined the pangu marrow essence at a steady pace.

Outside the formation, the Five Elements Old Ancestor, who had been waiting, was starting to get anxious.

"Why hasn't that ant come out yet? Could he have left through another exit?"

Having waited outside for nearly Yuanhui, the Five Elements Old Ancestor still hadn't seen Taiqing emerge.

He felt somewhat anxious.

During this nearly Yuanhui, the Five Elements Old Ancestor's Cultivation on Mount Buzhou had been slow.

Due to the influence of Pangus Pressure, neither comprehending the Law nor accumulating magic power was satisfactory.

With his Realm stagnating, how could the Five Elements Old Ancestor not be anxious?

If he continued to wait here, Yang Mei might soon prove his Dao as a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Forget it. Since that ant could stir Pangus Will, he must have the protection of Pangus Will."

"Catching him in the Great Desolation is harder than hard, let alone here on Mount Buzhou, which was formed from Pangu's spine."

"I shall depart first; cultivation is what matters most."

"As for the secrets that ant knows, once I prove my Dao as a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, I will easily learn them."

With a cold snort, the Five Elements Old Ancestor turned into a streak of light, left his temporary dao arena, and headed toward his own Five Elements Dao Arena.

Rather than wasting time on Mount Buzhou, it was more practical to return to his dao arena for quiet cultivation and early Dao-proving.

In the Great Desolation, strength is ultimately respected above all else.

Pangus Will had shown no further signs of activity after that manifestation, so the Five Elements Old Ancestor didn't need to dwell on the matter too much.

Inside the Innate Great Formation, just as the Five Elements Old Ancestor left, Taiqing's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open.

"Boom!"

An extremely powerful and terrifying physical strength erupted from Taiqing.

The surrounding Void Realm even distorted because of this physical power.

"I didn't expect that refining just a tiny bit of the marrow essence would bring my Physical Body to the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level."

"This marrow essence is simply too powerful."

"Even my Foundation has been strengthened slightly."

"Most importantly, the Origins I absorbed from my second and third brothers have completely fused."

"The suppression from the Heavenly Dao has even decreased a bit."

"As long as I find a place that can avoid the Heavenly Dao's suppression, I can successfully advance to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm."

Taiqing examined himself with pleasant surprise; after his birth, his Physical Body was only at the Peak Golden Immortal level.

Even though he cultivated his Physical Body diligently, by the time he reached Mount Buzhou, it was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Being transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, it seemed he was naturally not adept at physical power.

But now, after absorbing the pangu marrow essence, this shortcoming of his was completely rectified.

His Physical Body and Primordial Spirit Realms were now equal, both having advanced to the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level.

Taiqing had already planned to follow the path of cultivating the Primordial Spirit, Physical Body, Law, and magic power simultaneously.

In the Great Desolation, magic power is the easiest to accumulate, so most Cultivators follow the Way of Magic Power.

But Cultivators who solely follow the Way of Magic Power are the weakest.

Next is the Path of the Primordial Spirit; most Cultivators follow a path that combines magic power and the Primordial Spirit.

Then comes The Way of the Physical Body.

The most difficult is the Path of Law.

Because the Path of Law, when cultivated to its depths, can rival or even surpass the Chaos Demon Gods of old.

To prevent uncontrollable Cultivators who follow the Path of Law from appearing in the Great Desolation, the Heavenly Dao naturally suppresses it.

Therefore, the Path of Law is the hardest to Cultivate, but also the most powerful.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches are born with control over Laws and also follow The Way of the Physical Body.

Furthermore, as Descendants of Pangu, the Heavenly Dao naturally wants to eliminate the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

This is the true reason for the evolution of the Witch-Demon Calamity.

Now, Taiqing has embarked on the path of cultivating Law, Primordial Spirit, Physical Body, and magic power together.

The Heavenly Dao will inevitably plot against him.

However, even if Taiqing didn't Cultivate the Path of Law, the Heavenly Dao would still plot against him.

In that case, it would be better to rebel against the Heavenly Dao and make his own strength the strongest and unrivaled within the same Realm.

"This Great Desolation was opened by Father God Pangu; we, the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches, should inherit the family estate."

"You, the Heavenly Dao, are nothing more than a housekeeper."

"Daring to plot to seize the estate of the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches is simply unpardonable."

"Wait until we, the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches, prove our Dao; we will settle accounts with you, the Heavenly Dao, sooner or later."

The Heavenly Dao is too powerful, and it acts in collusion with Hongjun, the one who joined the Dao.

Taiqing wouldn't resort to any solo acts.

He wanted to unite all the forces that could be united.

First and foremost, the most reliable ones had to be his own brothers and sisters—the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches.

As Descendants of Pangu, they should have stood united to protect the Great Desolation and inherit this vast estate.

Who would have thought that the original Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches would actually turn against each other?

In the end, the Three Pure Ones were forced to swallow the Saint-Falling Pill and were imprisoned in the Zixiao Palace.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches also suffered heavy casualties, with only the Xuanming Ancestral Witch remaining to retreat to the Northern Continent.

Mount Buzhou was also broken by the Water Ancestral Witch, and the Three Pure Ones even shattered the Great Desolation during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

This allowed the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun to completely control the Great Desolation and seize the estate of the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"No one can take away the estate of our Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches!"

"Even the Heavenly Dao shouldn't dream of touching a single bit of my estate."

"It's also time to head to the East Sea to find the Three Immortal Islands. Advancing to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm sooner will provide an extra layer of security."

After putting away the fifteen drops of pangu marrow essence, Taiqing suddenly felt a heavy weight on him.

Fifteen drops of pangu marrow essence, each the size of a Minor Thousand World, were naturally heavy.

"I wonder if that Five Elements Old Ancestor is still waiting outside. I'll check first."

This Innate Great Formation was originally prepared by Pangu for the Descendants of Pangu.

As a Descendant of Pangu, after refining a tiny bit of the pangu marrow essence, Taiqing gained control over this Innate Great Formation.

Controlling the core of the Innate Great Formation, he inspected the situation around the formation.

"It seems the Five Elements Old Ancestor and Old Thief Hongjun have already left. I must leave quickly as well."

"Otherwise, if the Five Elements Old Ancestor or Old Thief Hongjun returns, it will be difficult to leave."

After patrolling several times, he saw that there was no sign of the Five Elements Old Ancestor in the temporary dao arena he had built.

Nor did he sense the presence of Old Thief Hongjun around the formation.

Taiqing stepped out of the Innate Great Formation, activated the heaven-opening supreme treasure Taiji Diagram, concealed his information, and swiftly sped down Mount Buzhou.
