I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 189 Gathering the Primordial Spirit of the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan Attacks

"Now that you're all here, please come in," Lai Yang's voice rang out from inside the ancestral hall of the Witch Clan.

The twelve ancestral witches looked at each other in bewilderment before entering the ancestral temple of the witch clan.

When they first saw Lai Yang, they had a momentary illusion as if they were seeing the Father God.

"Fellow Daoist," the Third Ancestral Witch stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Fellow Daoist, what you just used, could it be the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, which has been lost to my Wu Clan for a long time?"

"The Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation requires the combined true forms of twelve Ancestral Witches to be unleashed. How did you manage to unleash the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation all by yourself?"

The Fifth Ancestral Witch and the Eighth Ancestral Witch couldn't help but speak up.

"It is indeed the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation." Lai Yang nodded, admitting it frankly.

The commotion caused by the condensation of Pangu's true form was so great that the entire Wu tribe probably knows about it.

"The Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is actually hidden in the Ancestral Hall. The statues of the twelve Ancestral Witches correspond to the twelve directions of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. I carefully deduced and comprehended the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. By the way, how long did I spend in seclusion this time?" Lai Yang said calmly.

Upon hearing Lai Yang's question, the Third Ancestral Witch hesitated for a moment before replying, "About twelve hundred years."

“Twelve hundred years…” Lai Yang was slightly taken aback.

Twelve hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

He felt as if he had just had a dream. He had spent a long time deducing the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, and he wondered how Ruyan was doing now.

"Fellow Daoist, is there any progress regarding the primordial spirit of our Witch Clan?" the Third Ancestral Witch asked.

At the same time, all the Ancestral Witches couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Since it concerned the survival and prosperity of the Wu tribe, they naturally attached great importance to it.

"Yes, I've found a way." Lai Yang nodded.

Upon seeing this, the ancestral witches were greatly surprised, and a hint of excitement appeared between their brows.

"Really?! You've really found a way to help our witch clan condense their primordial spirit?!"

"Great! With the primordial spirit, those demon scum are nothing compared to my witch clan."

"Fellow Daoist, please tell us what you need, and we will definitely do it for you."

"Yes, we must do it even if we can't!"

Lai Yang waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet: "It's not that difficult, but I need some rare and precious materials, the higher the quality the better. I also need to prepare some array materials. In addition, condensing the primordial spirit is not an easy task, and I cannot guarantee 100% success."

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, we understand. We will give it a try no matter what, as long as there is an opportunity."

"No need to say more, just tell us what you need and we'll get it for you right away."

Lai Yang nodded, then wrote down the cultivation method of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation and all the necessary materials for setting up the formation on a piece of paper and handed it to the Ancestral Witches.

"This is the cultivation method for the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, as well as the necessary materials for setting up the formation. As for the other rare and precious materials, you can handle them as you see fit."

The First Ancestral Witch stepped forward, took the item from Lai Yang's hand, and examined it carefully.

Several ancestral witches nearby gathered around.

"It really is the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, hahaha."

"Good, good! Once we have successfully cultivated the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation and condensed our primordial spirits, who in the entire Immortal Realm will dare to bully our Witch Clan?"

"Let the people of the tribe go out and get some exercise."

"Okay, big brother."

Having obtained the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, the Wu Clan suddenly straightened their backs considerably.

In order to collect the array materials and rare treasures needed by Lai Yang, the Wu Clan mobilized almost all of its forces, plundering the Wu Clan's enemies everywhere, acting extremely domineeringly.

Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches personally took action. As soon as powerful figures from other forces made a move, they immediately led the Witch Clan to flee, infuriating the other forces.

Before long, more and more rare and precious materials were sent to the ancestral temple of the Wu tribe, and all kinds of precious and rare resources were piled up like mountains.

Even the entire ancestral hall is almost overflowing.

Looking at the resources that filled the entire ancestral hall, Lai Yang couldn't help but marvel at the sheer power and resources of the Witch Clan. It was truly terrifying.

The First Ancestral Witch looked at Lai Yang and slowly raised his hand to ask, "Fellow Daoist, do you think these resources are enough? If not, we can go to the demon race to borrow some more."

"With so many rare and precious materials, it should be enough to help the twelve fellow Daoists condense their primordial spirits," Lai Yang replied.

Upon hearing this, the ancestral witches were delighted.

When do we begin?

"We can begin now."

After saying that, Lai Yang quickly formed hand seals, and a large number of precious array materials flew into the air and were refined. They were then incorporated into the array, outlining countless special and mysterious array patterns, exuding an extremely powerful and profound Daoist aura.

"Who wants to go first?" Lai Yang looked up at the twelve ancestral witches and called out.

The twelve ancestral witches looked at each other and immediately began to discuss the matter.

"I'll go first."

"No, of course I, as the eldest brother, should set an example. I am the strongest, and I am better able to deal with any problems."

"No one knows if there will be any dangers in condensing the primordial spirit. Big brother, you are the strongest. You are the greatest pillar of our witch clan. You can't afford to have any problems."

"Brothers and sisters, in terms of inspiration, I am the strongest in the entire Witch Clan. You should all stop arguing and let your twelfth sister try it out for you first."

“I think Twelfth Sister is right. We’ll all have to try sooner or later anyway. Among us, Twelfth Sister is definitely the one with the best chance of condensing her primordial spirit. Let’s let her try first.”

"Fellow Daoist, is there any danger in condensing the primordial spirit?"

"Fellow Daoists, please rest assured, there is no danger. I simply cannot guarantee that I will be able to condense my primordial spirit 100%."

"In that case, Twelfth Sister, you may go."

"Go, Twelfth Sister!"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches nodded and stepped forward resolutely. They had human bodies and snake tails, black hair, four arms, and a pair of wings on their backs. Their eyes, which seemed to hold the depths of autumn water, shone brightly and possessed a captivating charm.

"Fellow Daoist, thank you for your trouble," the Twelve Ancestral Witches said softly.

“Fellow Daoist, simply stand in the center of the formation, relax your mind, and do not resist,” Lai Yang nodded and then spoke.

The twelve ancestral witches followed his instructions and stood in the center of the formation. Looking at the mysterious formation rotating around them, they felt a little nervous.

The other eleven ancestral witches also stared intently, seemingly worried that something unexpected might happen.

"I'm going to start."

Lai Yang spoke, and immediately a powerful array enveloped the twelve Ancestral Witches. A vast spiritual force surged into the twelve Ancestral Witches' bodies, creating an astonishingly powerful aura.

Immediately afterwards, Lai Yang forced out a mouthful of golden blood from his heart, his face turning pale.

The ancestral witches were taken aback by what they saw.

"Golden blood!"

"This blood seems to share the same origin as ours, causing a throbbing sensation in the veins within me."

"It is the aura of the Father God; his blood contains a rich aura of the Father God."

"How is this possible? Could this be the blood of the Father God? How could this human have the Father God's blood flowing in his veins? Could he be the reincarnation of the Father God?"

...

A mouthful of blood from his heart merged into the formation, instantly entering the space between the brows of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Moments later, an incomparably terrifying and boundless primordial spirit power erupted from the bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, condensing into a true Dharma body between heaven and earth.

Upon noticing the commotion at the ancestral temple of the Wu tribe, many Wu tribe members instinctively looked up, only to be utterly shocked and dumbfounded.

"Look! What is that!"

"The Twelve Ancestral Witches?"

"Primordial spirit, that's the power of the primordial spirit! The Twelve Ancestral Witches have cultivated their primordial spirits!"

"Thanks to the Father God's blessing, my witch clan finally has a primordial spirit! Hahaha..."

"May God protect you!!!"

The witch tribe shouted excitedly.

Meanwhile, at the location of the Demon Court.

A demon emperor dressed in flamboyant and luxurious attire seemed to sense something, and suddenly frowned, feeling an inexplicable and intense sense of unease, as if something terrifying was about to happen.

"Why do I feel a little uneasy? It's been so many years since this has happened," the Demon Emperor muttered to himself.

The Demon Emperor calculated with his fingers, attempting to deduce the secrets of heaven.

Then, his expression turned to one of astonishment, and he said incredulously, "Impossible! Is there anything in the Immortal Realm that even I, the Emperor, cannot deduce?"

The Demon Emperor tried repeatedly to deduce the secrets, but each time the heavenly secrets seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, making them impossible to see through.

Unable to deduce the cause, the Demon Emperor's unease grew stronger, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he suddenly stood up and shouted, "Someone, go and investigate immediately! Has anything strange happened in the Immortal Realm recently?"

On the other side, the true forms of the twelve ancestral witches dissipated, and the world returned to peace.

In the ancestral hall of the Wu clan.

The hearts of the eleven ancestral witches were already filled with turbulent waves.

They felt it very clearly just now: the primordial spirit, the true power of the primordial spirit, the primordial spirit power belonging to Twelfth Sister, actually succeeded!

Upon seeing that the event was over, the eleven Ancestral Witches immediately stepped forward and asked, "Twelfth Sister, you... you have condensed your primordial spirit?"

Although they had seen it with their own eyes, they still wanted to hear the Twelve Ancestral Witches admit it in person.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches nodded vigorously in response to the eager gazes of the crowd: "Yes, I have a primordial spirit."

"Good, good! Excellent! My witch clan finally has a primordial spirit!"

"From this day forward, I shall see who in the Immortal Realm will dare to look down on my Witch Clan even a little bit."

"This is wonderful! Our Wu tribe has been waiting for this day for far too long."

The primordial spirit may not mean much to other races, who are born with it and take it for granted.

However, what is taken for granted by other living beings is a priceless treasure that the Wu tribe has sought by countless means but could not obtain.

The Witch Clan possesses the strongest physical bodies in the Immortal Realm. Now that they have condensed physical bodies again, it's unbelievable how powerful the Witch Clan has become.

The Wu Clan, lacking a primordial spirit, nearly destroyed the entire Immortal Realm, inspiring fear and dread among countless powerful races.

Ultimately, under the machinations of Heaven, the demon race forged the Witch-Slaying Sword, which destroyed eleven ancient ancestral witches of the witch race.

The last ancient ancestral witch, in order to protect the witch clan, voluntarily entered the underworld, merged with the cycle of reincarnation, and could never step out of the underworld again.

These are all shames for the Wu tribe, but now they finally have the opportunity and hope to avenge themselves.

"Fellow Daoist, are you alright?" The Ancestral Witches stepped forward, looking at Lai Yang with great concern.

At this moment, Lai Yang's status in everyone's eyes was greatly elevated.

Because of their bold guesses, they looked at Lai Yang with a deep respect.

"It's alright, I just need to rest for a while," Lai Yang waved his hand and said calmly.

The area outside the ancestral temple of the Wu tribe became noisy, as the Wu tribe members were drawn by the commotion.

The First Ancestral Witch turned and walked out of the Ancestral Hall of the Witch Clan.

Upon seeing the First Ancestral Witch emerge from the ancestral hall of the Witch Clan, the Witch Clan members asked excitedly, "Great Ancestral Witch, what exactly happened inside the ancestral hall? Just now, we seemed to sense the presence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches..."

"Silence! Everyone, don't be impatient. You will soon find out. Now do as I say. From this moment on, block all news of the Witch Clan, activate the Twelve Witch Gods Array, and forbid anyone from entering or leaving the Witch Clan. Anyone who trespasses into the Witch Clan or attempts to leave without my order will be killed!" The First Ancestral Witch shouted coldly.

The members of the Witch Clan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and solemnly shouted in unison, "Yes, Great Ancestral Witch!"

"From this moment forward, no one is allowed to approach the ancestral temple. Anyone who violates this rule will bear the consequences."

Having said that, the First Ancestral Witch turned and returned to the Ancestral Hall of the Witch Clan, tightly closing the heavy doors of the hall.

The members of the Wu tribe looked at each other in bewilderment. The Wu tribe elders immediately began to organize the Wu tribe to carry out the orders of the Great Ancestral Witch, and the Wu tribe closed itself off from the outside world.

Not long after, another earth-shattering primordial spirit appeared above the ancestral hall of the Witch Clan, none other than the First Ancestral Witch!

"The Great Ancestral Witch has also condensed his primordial spirit!"

"What exactly happened inside the Ancestral Hall that caused the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Great Ancestral Witch to all give birth to primordial spirits?"

"The day of our Wu clan's rise is coming."

Immediately afterwards, another primordial spirit dharma image soared into the sky; it was the Second Ancestral Witch.

The Wu tribe members were speechless with shock, and many of the elders were moved to tears.

Meanwhile, inside the ancestral temple of the Wu tribe.

Lai Yang's face was ashen, and he swayed precariously, being supported by the two Ancestral Witches, their brows furrowed with heartache.

"Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"

“You’ve already vomited your heart’s blood several times. You can’t vomit anymore. If you damage your heart’s blood any further, it will definitely affect your foundation.”

“That’s right. This matter is not urgent. How could my Wu clan possibly deserve your help, fellow Daoist, who is willing to risk your life for us?”

If it were an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal, losing their heart's blood three times in a row would inevitably cause their cultivation level to drop.

However, Lai Yang possesses the heart of Pangu and has an astonishing ability to recover. He is just a little overdrawn and weak, but he will recover after a short rest.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry. I know what I'm doing. Since I promised you all, I will do my best to fulfill it. I'll rest for a while."

"Alright, alright, fellow Daoist, you should rest now. We will protect you."

Lai Yang sat down cross-legged on the spot and immediately used rare and precious herbs to heal and recover.

It was indeed very taxing to condense the primordial spirit of a Quasi-Saint; he was already struggling to keep up after just three people condensing their primordial spirits.

If he were a Celestial Emperor, he wouldn't be in such trouble; he's just too weak.

"Eldest brother, second brother, now that you have formed your primordial spirits, you should go out. After so many days, many clansmen must be getting restless. We are here for you."

The First Ancestral Witch and the Second Ancestral Witch exchanged a glance and nodded: "Twelfth Sister is right. We'll go out and stabilize our people first. The rest is up to you. You must take good care of our fellow Daoist."

That's for sure.

A month later, countless powerful demonic energies swept across the world, almost obscuring the sky.

Upon sensing the approach of the demon race, the Wu clan members' expressions changed slightly, but they showed no fear and stood ready for battle.

The Witch Clan's previous actions were so significant that they naturally did not escape the eyes of the Demon Clan.

"Witch Clan, how dare you lay a hand on my fellow demons!"
