138: Zhu Jiuyin's Breakthrough, the Ancestral Witch's Doubts

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, this is?"

Looking at the Red Lotus Clone, Ancestral Witch Houtu was momentarily surprised.

She had personally witnessed the Red Lotus Clone transform into Di Yi, and she could clearly sense that the latter's aura and appearance were exactly the same as before.

Although she knew that Cultivators had methods for creating Clones and Incarnations, this level of resemblance was truly astonishing.

"Ancestral Witch Houtu, there is no need for surprise!"

Waving his hand, Li Yun smiled calmly and said, "This Red Lotus Clone is an existence somewhere between an Incarnation and a second primordial spirit. Combined with my Divine Ability and secret techniques, it can achieve a level of deception that is truly indistinguishable from the real thing."

"Even Cultivators from the outside world won't be able to see through the difference in its foundation. Especially at this stage, no one can discern its distinctiveness!"

"Furthermore, I need a truly safe identity, rather than letting people suspect the fact that I am Di Yi. Therefore, regarding the matter of teaching the Method of Proving the Dao, he will still be the primary figure!"

Hearing this, Houtu nodded in understanding.

After all, Li Yun's current strength was indeed still somewhat weak, and this matter was of great importance. The Cultivators of the entire Great Wilderness were watching the Witch Clan, searching for information about Di Yi and the Quasi-Saint expert who might exist behind him.

Now that Li Yun's Red Lotus Clone had convincingly become Di Yi, even if the Clone itself were exposed, it wouldn't involve Li Yun. This meant he had achieved true safety.

Thinking of this, Houtu immediately spoke up, "In that case, let's head inside first!"

"My brothers are currently at a critical moment in their secluded cultivation. We can just explain things to Big Brother!"

After saying that, Houtu walked directly toward the main hall.

Seeing this, Li Yun did not hesitate. He sent the Red Lotus Clone to a side hall to perfect its condition, while he followed Houtu further inside.

Before long, Li Yun and Houtu arrived at the location of the Pangu Blood Pool.

"Break for me!"

Right at that moment, a low growl echoed out.

Accompanied by a terrifying aura and pressure sweeping outward, Zhu Jiuyin, who was sitting cross-legged in the area near the blood pool in the distance, stood up directly from the ground.

In the next second, an aura surpassing the Great Luo Realm surged from his body.

Impressively, at this moment, Zhu Jiuyin had also transcended the Great Luo Realm and entered the Early-stage Quasi-Saint level.

"Congratulations, Second Brother!"

"Congratulations, Second Brother!"

"..."

As Zhu Jiuyin successfully made his Breakthrough, Zhu Rong and the other Ancestral Witches in the nearby area all stood up to offer their congratulations, their eyes filled with envy.

Zhu Jiuyin had advanced.

This meant that the Witch Clan would now have two Quasi-Saint experts.

Furthermore, their own strength had already reached its limit. As long as they were given some time to accumulate, they were also confident in their ability to enter the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Thinking of this, the Ancestral Witches were all somewhat impatient.

"Haha!"

Laughing loudly, Zhu Jiuyin felt the power within his body and said with great joy, "It's done!"

"I have finally succeeded."

"Early-stage Quasi-Saint, and the Law of Time has also reached the stage of Major Achievement!"

"Given the current situation, even if I face Laozi, who is Attaining the Dao through Strength, I would have the power to fight!"

As he spoke, the smile on Zhu Jiuyin's face grew even wider.

Space is king, and Time is supreme!

In a sense, the Law of Time was more unique and powerful than the Law of Space.

Although he had only just entered the Early-stage Quasi-Saint level, he already possessed the aura of being invincible within the same Realm.

The only difference was that they followed the path of Fortune rather than Dao Proving through Law; otherwise, they would be even stronger.

"Second Brother, you've broken through."

Houtu also walked forward joyfully, her eyes full of admiration as she looked at the high-spirited Zhu Jiuyin.

Although the Witch Clan's territory had expanded and their Luck had increased, Di Jiang was the Master of the Witch Clan, which meant that the Luck distributed to the other Ancestral Witches was much less.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Jiuyin's advancement to Quasi-Saint was crucial for the Witch Clan at this stage. They could even use this opportunity to expand their territory and influence once again.

"Little Sister, you're here."

Seeing Houtu's arrival, Zhu Jiuyin restrained his emotions. He was about to say something when he spotted Li Yun's figure not far away.

For a moment, Zhu Jiuyin was surprised and said, "Fellow Daoist Li Yun, you've come."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Ancestral Witches also noticed Li Yun's presence.

Without any hesitation, the Ancestral Witches, including Di Jiang, walked forward and cupped their hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Li Yun!"

"Fellow Daoist, it has been a long time!"

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, we meet again."

"..."

Facing the enthusiastic Ancestral Witches, Li Yun did not dare to be negligent and returned the greeting, "Greetings, Ancestral Witches. Li Yun has come to disturb you again, please forgive me!"

Waving his hand, Di Jiang said dismissively, "What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Li Yun? You are a friend of our Witch Clan and an existence recognized by us Ancestral Witches. Coming to the Witch Clan is like coming home, so don't talk about disturbing us!"

"By the way, Little Sister, why have you and Fellow Daoist Li Yun come here this time?"

In response to the inquiry, Houtu briefly explained the matter of the Three Pure Ones leading their subordinates here to exchange for the Method of Proving the Dao!

"The Three Pure Ones!"

"It's actually them!"

"They actually want to establish their own forces too!"

"..."

After hearing Houtu's explanation, the expressions of the Ancestral Witches turned somewhat unsightly.

It wasn't for any other reason, but although Li Yun had traded the Method of Proving the Dao with Yuanshi and Tongtian before, that was because they were forced by the situation and needed to use that opportunity to recruit other Cultivators.

But now, the Three Pure Ones still wanted to obtain the Method of Proving the Dao, and it was for the sake of their subordinates. To be honest, the Ancestral Witches were not very willing.

Subconsciously, Di Jiang looked at Li Yun and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you think we can agree?"

"Once those guys rise, the lineage of the Three Pure Ones will become extremely powerful. When that time comes..."

"Ancestral Witch Di Jiang, there is no need to worry."

Hearing this, how could Li Yun not know what Di Jiang was thinking? He immediately waved his hand and said, "The potential of those Cultivators is indeed decent, but after reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm, their potential will basically be exhausted. The difficulty of taking another step forward will be enormous."

"On the contrary, the compensation given by the Three Pure Ones is substantial, and the compensation from those Cultivators is also good. I have no intention of keeping it to myself; the more this Method of Proving the Dao is spread, the better!"

"Why is that?"

Zhu Jiuyin and the other Ancestral Witches looked at each other and then at Li Yun with complete confusion.

After all, once something like the Method of Proving the Dao was spread, it was equivalent to assisting a future Quasi-Saint.

Li Yun had no intention of building a force, nor did he have the intention of subduing those Cultivators, so why...
