25: The Wu Clan dominated Buzhou Mountain, achieving breakthroughs in both primordial spirit and physical body.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed.

During these thousand years, a large number of Cultivators fell in blood within the range of Mount Buzhou.

Besides the struggle for Innate Spirit Treasures and innate spiritual roots, the more significant cause was the violent massacre by the Eleven Ancestral Witches.

The Fusion of Ancient Martial Arts Protective Aura and Law directly raised the Ancestral Witches' Physical Body defense and Ruin power to another level.

This led to the Ancestral Witches basically crushing Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivators in battle; that terrifying Protective Aura ran rampant, leaving countless Grand Unity Golden Immortals unable to rest in peace.

After this battle, all Cultivators within the range of Mount Buzhou panicked.

Countless Cultivators fled Mount Buzhou in panic; as long as they saw the figure of an Ancestral Witch, they would flee immediately, not daring to linger for a second.

Even those top Great Divine Power Holders had to lower their heads when facing the powerful Eleven Ancestral Witches.

Even existences like the Three Pure Ones, Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Kunpeng had to abandon their thoughts of continuing to search for treasures in the Mount Buzhou area and return to their respective territories.

For no other reason than the Ancestral Witches being simply too strong.

The Ancestral Witches, who were already top-tier among Grand Unity Golden Immortals by combining their powerful Physical Bodies with Law, could still be countered by others relying on their own methods, Divine Abilities, and Spirit Treasures; in fact, several people working together could steadily suppress them.

But who could have imagined that the Wu Clan had actually mastered a brand-new method?

That so-called Protective Aura was incredibly terrifying, possessing not only astounding defense but also extraordinary Ruin power; many Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivators were heavily injured upon contact, and those caught in it had their Physical Bodies destroyed directly.

Even if their Primordial Spirits luckily escaped the range of the innate turbid qi, at least tens of thousands of years of cultivation were ruined, and repairing the Physical Body would also take tens of thousands of years to complete.

From then on, Mount Buzhou became a forbidden zone.

Large numbers of Cultivators collectively relocated away from the Mount Buzhou area and the surrounding regions of the Wu Clan Territory.

Taking this opportunity, the Ancestral Witches did not hesitate. They returned to Pangu Hall to create a large number of clansmen, subsequently expanding the entire Wu Clan Territory tenfold, encompassing nearly two-thirds of Mount Buzhou. Countless Cultivators, though furious, dared not speak... Inside a side hall of Pangu Hall.

"Break for me!"

With a low shout, Li Yun's blood and qi surged throughout his body, and his Physical Body strength broke through its shackles at this moment, reaching a brand-new level.

His fists were clenched, blood and qi surged, and Protective Aura ran rampant. His height even reached two point three meters.

"Hahaha~"

"It's done! This Daoist Master has succeeded!"

Opening his eyes, Li Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud as he felt his own condition.

A thousand years of bitter Cultivation.

His Primordial Spirit cultivation had successfully reached the True Immortal Realm, specifically the True Immortal Realm Middle Stage.

Of course, this was only secondary.

The most important thing was that he had successfully cultivated the Spatial Body Refining Technique. Combined with the Minor Witch Bloodline in his body, in just a thousand years, his Physical Body Realm had reached a level comparable to a Witch General of the Wu Clan.

Even if it was only the Witch General Early Stage, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could now fight head-on against Taiyi Immortal Realm Cultivators relying solely on his Physical Body strength.

In particular, he had also developed Protective Aura by practicing Eight Extremities Fist. With the two combined, his Physical Body combat power reached an even more terrifying level, giving him absolute confidence even when going head-to-head with Golden Immortal Realm Cultivators.

Not to mention he was still a Cultivator, capable of utilizing spells, Divine Abilities, and the empowerment of Innate Spirit Treasures. In terms of combat power alone, he was definitely not inferior to ordinary Golden Immortal Realm existences.

It could be said that this thousand years of bitter Cultivation had directly brought Li Yun's foundation to a brand-new dimension.

After a long time, Li Yun finally stopped laughing.

Feeling the fluctuations of blood and qi in his body, he immediately strode toward the outer area.

"It's about time."

His future Cultivation would require more practical combat experience.

The improvement of the Physical Body Realm required continuous combat, and the Primordial Spirit cultivation also needed to find opportunities for a Breakthrough.

However, as Li Yun came out, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were not in Pangu Hall.

When he walked out, he encountered a Lesser Witch guarding the outside. After a brief exchange, Li Yun learned what had happened in the outside world over the past thousand years.

"Hiss~"

"Outrageous! The Wu Clan has dominated Buzhou, and countless Cultivators have fallen in blood or fled in defeat!"

"Is this simply because I taught the Wu Clan Ancient Martial Arts, leading them to master Protective Aura?"

Opening his mouth, a strange look appeared on Li Yun's face.

This was something he had never expected. When he taught the Wu Clan Ancient Martial Arts, it was only to trade for protection and to improve the combat power of the Wu Clan members.

But no one expected that while the improvement of Ancient Martial Arts for ordinary Wu Clan members was already significant, the improvement for the Ancestral Witches would be so terrifying.

The upper limit of Protective Aura wasn't that high, but the Ancestral Witches integrated their own Laws into it, evolving it into an extremely terrifying method. It not only enhanced their defense and Ruin power but even expanded their attack range. It truly was... "Wait."

Suddenly, Li Yun's spirits lifted. He turned to the Lesser Witch and said, "Did you just say that two-thirds of Mount Buzhou is now under the control of the Wu Clan?"

"Yes, Lord Li Yun!"

Nodding, the Lesser Witch looked at Li Yun with admiration and replied, "Currently, two-thirds of Mount Buzhou is within the territory of our Wu Clan, and all the Cultivators there have been expelled."

"The Ancestral Witches are now leading the Great Witches at the border areas to intimidate those Cultivators. They will return once those fellows are completely deterred."

"If you wish to find an Ancestral Witch, Lord, I can send someone to report!"

The matter of martial arts had long spread throughout the Wu Clan, and the matter of Protective Aura had spread throughout the Great Desolation.

Because of this, the Wu Clan members knew how terrifying the upper limit of Protective Aura was, and all of this was brought and taught by Li Yun.

If Li Yun weren't a non-member of the Wu Clan, they would have even wanted to honor him as the Teacher of the Wu Clan.

"No need."

Coming back to his senses, Li Yun waved his hand and declined the Lesser Witch's suggestion.

Then, he spoke, "Since Mount Buzhou is already within the Wu Clan's territory, I'll go for a journey around Mount Buzhou!"

"If the Ancestral Witches ask about me after they return, you can tell them that I've gone to travel within Mount Buzhou!"

After speaking, Li Yun lingered no longer and directly rode a cloud, speeding toward Mount Buzhou.

"No kidding."

"Over all these years, Innate Spirit Treasures and innate spiritual roots have frequently appeared in the Mount Buzhou area. This is definitely the peak period for those Innate items to take form and mature."

"In that case, he could take this opportunity to search for the banana tree he hadn't found before."

"As long as he could find it and integrate it into himself, his foundation and background would be improved, and he could even gain the empowerment of more abilities."

"It just so happens that the other Cultivators are currently too intimidated by the Ancestral Witches to approach. If he doesn't take this opportunity to find the banana tree and fuse with it quickly, such chances will be greatly reduced later on."
