Chapter 275 Ancient Formation, the Hope for the Rise of the Witch Clan!
To evolve the Netherworld, the Heavenly Dao is an insurmountable obstacle.
Let alone a group of Grand Luo Immortals, even if you were given billions of them, they would just be a few more ants.
The Earthly Path has only just awakened. Although its cultivation is constantly increasing and its status is on par with the Heavenly Path, it is still far inferior to the Heavenly Path, which was born much earlier.
Therefore, after hearing about the evolution of the Netherworld, Houtu was only slightly surprised before quickly calming down.
This is like being given 100 million yuan, only to find out that it's just coupons. The psychological gap is hard for others to understand.
"Sister, do you think we have no way of evolving the Netherworld?"
Seeing Houtu's dejected look, Zhao Gongming couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother, don't cancel it. Do you think you can evolve this world under the intervention of the Heavenly Dao?" Houtu rolled her eyes.
Zhao Gongming continued with a laugh, "If it were just me alone, I naturally couldn't evolve it, but what if we added the entire Witch Clan?"
The entire witch clan?
Houtu adopted a listening posture.
Zhao Gongming's expression turned solemn: "Back then, the battle between the Witch and Demon races was the most magnificent scene in this world, and that protracted and bloody battle ultimately ended with both sides suffering heavy losses."
"The Twelve Ancestral Witches were formed from the essence of Pangu's blood. Each of them wielded a law and divine power, which was the foundation for the Witch Clan's dominance over the prehistoric world. However, in that great war, eleven Ancestral Witches perished one after another. Dijiang died by self-destruction, Jumang died on Buzhou Mountain, Rushou broke his sword at Guixu, Zhurong and Gonggong perished together, Zhujiuyin burned out his divine soul, and Qiangliang, Xizi, Tianwu, Shebishi, and Xuanming died one after another in battle. Only my sister remained, using her supreme divine power to protect the last trace of the Witch Clan's bloodline."
"The demon race has the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars Formation, which is extremely powerful. The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is the supreme formation of the witch race. It is formed by condensing the energy of gods and demons, which can summon the true form of Pangu. During the war between the witch and the demon race, it was with the help of this formation that the witch race was able to stand on equal footing with the heavenly court of the demon race."
Upon hearing this, Houtu gave a bitter smile: "During the Lich-Demon Calamity, both the Lich and Demon races were manipulated by the Heavenly Dao Saints. The Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars Formation can indeed contend with the Heavenly Dao, but how many people can the Lich and Demon races gather to evolve them now?"
She still remembers the final moments of that great battle, when eleven of her brothers and sisters perished one after another. She, with the body of an ancestral witch, withstood the heavenly tribulation and protected the last batch of witch bloodline, barely surviving until today. If it weren't for Zhao Gongming's arrival, she would probably have followed her brothers and sisters in death.
But now, all eleven Ancestral Witches are dead, and the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation has become a thing of the past.
It's not that Houtu didn't want to repeat the great formation.
This formation requires not only cultivation level, but also the resonance of bloodline and laws.
The position of Ancestral Witch relies on the bloodline inheritance of the Father God Pangu, and can only be held by close blood relatives. Even though Houtu's cultivation is heaven-reaching and she is a supreme Golden Immortal of Hunyuan Wuji, she cannot use the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons on her own.
This is an ironclad rule left by the father god Pangu, and also an unsolvable problem that looms over Houtu's heart.
After a long silence, Houtu seemed to have thought of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly asked, "Brother, are you saying this because you have some way to revive our elder brother and the others?"
Zhao Gongming shook his head with a wry smile: "The Wu Clan has no primordial spirit. After their fall, they couldn't even leave behind a single point of true spiritual light. I, your younger brother, am helpless."
Upon hearing this, Houtu's expression turned sorrowful again.
"However, although I cannot revive the Twelve Ancestral Witches, I do have a way to evolve the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation after condensing the Elevenfold Golden Wheel of Merit," Zhao Gongming said slowly.
[Ding! God-level option unlocked]
[Option 1: Help Houtu evolve the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, Reward: Location of the Primordial Spirit of the Tongtian Jianmu Tree]
[Option 2: Help Houtu revive the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Reward: Top-tier Chaos God and Demon Bloodline]
As soon as Zhao Gongming finished speaking, the system's voice appeared.
This option, however, left Zhao Gongming stunned.
The generous rewards are one thing, but finding the Heaven-Piercing Tree will allow you to find the Earth-Opening Mark and refine the complete Heaven-Opening Earth-Opening Divine Art, which is truly powerful.
To his surprise, the second option was to help Houtu revive the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
In other words, according to the system's understanding, the Twelve Ancestral Witches can be resurrected!
"That's strange. The Witch Clan doesn't have a primordial spirit; once they perish, they're gone forever. How can they be resurrected?"
Zhao Gongming murmured to himself, "Logically speaking, the primordial spirit is a container that holds the true spiritual light. Without a container, the true spiritual light cannot enter it. It's like having a powerful physical body but no brain."
wrong!
Without a primordial spirit, how could the Witch Clan control the laws?
Could it be that the Witch Clan is hiding other secrets?
"Little brother, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!"
Houtu's urging brought Zhao Gongming back to reality.
He composed himself and slowly said, "What my sister is worried about is nothing more than the lack of the essence blood of the Witch Clan and the laws controlled by the Twelve Ancestral Witches."
"But sister, do you know that the reason this formation requires twelve ancestral witches is not just because of bloodline inheritance, but because it requires twelve witch masters who can bear the power of gods and demons?"
A strange light flashed in Houtu's eyes: "What does my brother mean by this—?"
Zhao Gongming spoke eloquently: "Sister, think carefully. What is the essence of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation? It is the merging of the twelve primordial spirits, drawing upon the divine and demonic power of Pangu to condense the true form of Pangu. Back then, the twelve Ancestral Witches were needed because their cultivation was sufficient and their bloodline was most compatible with the Father God. However, if a Great Witch could break through to the Quasi-Saint realm and cultivate the Twelve Laws, she could also bear the power of the divine and demonic forces!"
Houtu pondered for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "What my brother said is correct, and it is indeed so in theory. However, the Great Witch has reached the limit of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. The Quasi-Saint realm is a barrier between heaven and earth, which cannot be crossed without great opportunities, great perseverance, and great merit. How can our Witch Clan possibly have the spare strength to attempt to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm?"
Zhao Gongming smiled slightly: "What if there is?"
Houtu's gaze sharpened: "What do you mean by that, brother?"
Zhao Gongming took a deep breath and said something that shook Houtu to her core: "The Blood Pool of the Wu Clan is the place where the essence and blood of the ancestors of the Wu Clan have gathered since Pangu created the world. It contains the purest remnants of Pangu's bloodline. If we can activate the power of the Father God in the Blood Pool, it can provide the most fundamental foundation for a Great Wu to break through to the Quasi-Saint level."
"And the power of merit—" Zhao Gongming's heart stirred, and eleven golden wheels appeared behind his head. "If I were to distribute all the power of merit from these eleven golden wheels of merit to the eleven great witches of my witch clan, it would help them break through to the quasi-saint realm."
Houtu's pupils suddenly contracted as she looked at the eleven golden wheels of merit!
