Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

In the future, if the Wu Clan encounters trouble, Li Xiuyuan must not ignore it, because most of these Wu Clan members are transformed from his own essence and blood.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan felt cheated and was a little annoyed! After all, no one would be happy to receive an extra package for no reason!

“Little one, don’t be angry. As long as you can strengthen my Wu clan, then this Pangu Palace, a treasure of acquired merit, will belong to you.”

Houtu paused for a moment and then said, "You should know that among the magical treasures in the Three Realms, the Pangu Palace is definitely one of the best. In terms of defensive capabilities, it is no less than Laozi's Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, and it also has the effect of concealing heavenly secrets."

Finally, this Pangu Palace became a microcosm of its own.

After saying that, she thought to herself, if it weren't for the fact that she was a member of the Witch Clan and couldn't cultivate the primordial spirit, this treasure would probably have been exposed long ago!

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan was somewhat tempted. Putting aside the defensive capabilities of the Pangu Palace, its ability to conceal heavenly secrets alone was enough to entice him.

In the future, if Li Xiuyuan were to do something bad, he could naturally do it without anyone noticing. Moreover, he possesses the World-Destroying Black Lotus. When he stands on the Black Lotus and has the Pangu Palace above his head, his combat ability will probably increase greatly when he competes with others!

Moreover, if Li Xiuyuan were to have another tribe, it would not only be a disadvantage, but also an advantage. That is, it would create an extremely powerful force. As the only ancestral witch of the witch tribe, he would be obeyed by all members of the witch tribe.

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, then replied in a calm voice, "Alright! I can agree to that, but this matter must be kept secret, and no one else is allowed to know about it."

He nodded in agreement, but this matter was far too complicated. If the other sages found out, they would certainly not let him live a good life.

After all, the sages do not wish for a powerful race to emerge. Moreover, since Li Xiuyuan inherited Pangu's power laws, the great witches he created will each have a unique advantage in power laws, and these people will be able to comprehend them very quickly.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The great witches born in this way cannot cultivate the primordial spirit, but the current ancestral witch is Li Xiuyuan, and he alone is enough.

If it were truly possible to cultivate the primordial spirit, Li Xiuyuan might still disagree! Because the people of the Wu tribe are simple and honest, if they were to cultivate the primordial spirit and become intelligent, they would inevitably change.

In this way, it would be difficult for Li Xiuyuan to control these people.

"Don't worry, little one, even if you don't say it, I won't say it out loud."

After hearing this, Houtu nodded solemnly. In ancient times, after the extinction of the witches and demons, there were several saints, such as the ten suns that caused chaos in the primordial world, and the great battle between water and fire.

After seeing Houtu's promise, Li Xiuyuan asked, "Sister Houtu, as the strongest force in ancient times, the Wu Clan must have had more than a few hundred Great Witches besides the Twelve Ancestral Witches! After all, many of the Demon Gods of the Demon Clan are Great Luo Golden Immortals."

Having said that, he was quite surprised. If the Witch Clan only had a few hundred Great Witches, how could they possibly contend with the Demon Clan?

Perhaps a few hundred great shamans sounds like a lot, but in reality, there aren't that many, after all, they are said to control the earth.

It should be understood that the four great continents at this time are not the true face of the primordial world. In the ancient primordial world, it was much larger than the world we see now. It was only after the war between the Lich King and the Demon King and the War of the Gods that things changed.

During the Investiture of the Gods, the primordial world was shattered and scattered into countless small places. These were then combined and refined by the Heavenly Dao into small worlds, distributed outside the four great continents, totaling three thousand small worlds.

If there are three thousand small worlds, plus the four great continents, this is the true face of the ancient primordial world!

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Houtu nodded in agreement, saying, "The vast majority of the Great Witches in my Witch Clan are born from this lineage, though they can also reproduce. Due to bloodline differences, some members of the Witch Clan find it difficult to reach the Great Witch realm."

However, it is different if their parents are both high shamans. If a high shaman marries a son, the son will have extremely high talent and great potential to become a high shaman himself.

Even more remarkably, some have grown into quasi-saint level powerhouses, such as Xing Tian and Chi You.

After saying that, she recounted some of the secrets of the ancient witch clan.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded to himself. No wonder the Witch Clan was able to become one of the most powerful forces!

Houtu continued, "However, it is by no means easy for a great shaman to have offspring. It would be extremely difficult without a thousand years."

As she spoke, she boasted a bit, saying that if the Great Witch had the reproductive ability of ordinary humans, the Witch Clan would definitely be able to dominate the prehistoric world and become the true protagonists of heaven and earth.

Instead, it's the human race before us!

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded inwardly. Indeed, the more powerful a person is, the more difficult it becomes for them to have offspring.

This is also why those great beings were unable to have offspring.

Li Xiuyuan asked calmly, "Sister Houtu, why didn't you twelve Ancestral Witches unite? If you had offspring, their potential would be extraordinary!"

After saying this, he was very surprised. If the Great Witches could unite, why couldn't the other Ancestral Witches unite?

If these people could produce more ancestral witches, the situation in ancient times would be very different.

Upon hearing this, Houtu blushed and replied, "Back then, all of us brothers and sisters were only focused on cultivation; we didn't have any other thoughts! Besides..."

As she spoke, she seemed to want to say something but ultimately didn't.

Houtu thought to herself, she couldn't possibly say that all her brothers were big, burly men and she looked down on them!

Chapter 406 The Treasure of the Witch Clan

Seeing Houtu's expression, Li Xiuyuan roughly guessed what was going on and said with a smile, "Sister Houtu, could it be that the other Ancestral Witches are too incompetent for you to approve of?"

As he finished speaking, a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

After learning some things from Houtu, Li Xiuyuan became bolder. Since the Wu Clan still needed him, Houtu would never harm him. Besides, he had Pangu's blood essence, and he and Houtu were like siblings.

Upon hearing this, Houtu blushed deeply, displaying a childlike demeanor rarely seen around her. She simply spat out a light "Pah! What nonsense are you spouting?"

As she spoke, she used her magic to remove the blush from her face.

Upon seeing Houtu's beauty, Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he exclaimed, "Sister Houtu, you can actually consider me. If the two of us were to unite, the offspring we would produce would be incredibly powerful."

Moreover, I am far more witty than the other ancestral witches, and I know how to make people happy, unlike their burly appearance.

Without waiting for a response, he continued, "For the sake of our witch clan's future, you might want to consider this."

As he spoke, he voiced his thoughts, which seemed somewhat offensive, but he knew in his heart that Houtu would not lay a hand on him.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan could make jokes without restraint.

"Pah! Little one, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm much older than you."

As she spoke, Houtu seemed to have thought of something. She paused and then said, "If you are truly determined, then work hard at your cultivation! Perhaps you will have a chance."

After saying this, she thought to herself that she was no longer an ancestral witch, and if she were to have offspring, they would definitely not be pure members of the witch clan.

However, his cultivation level was strong, no weaker than that of the Ancestral Witch's true form. If the two of them were to unite, their offspring might be even better.

As she pondered this, Houtu couldn't help but feel a little tempted. For the future of their Wu tribe, perhaps she could sacrifice herself.

However, Houtu looked down on Li Xiuyuan because she thought his cultivation level was too low.

After all, how could an immortal unite with a human? As the saying goes, "A dragon does not live with a snake." Most importantly, the more powerful Li Xiuyuan's cultivation becomes, the more advanced his power laws will be, and the stronger their offspring will be. That's why they must wait for him to reach a higher realm.

After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded. It's okay to joke about some things, but we shouldn't dwell on this issue too much. Besides, Houtu just said that she would give him a chance.

Li Xiuyuan continued, "Sister Houtu, my blood and qi are weak right now. If I force out more essence and blood, it will damage my origin. So if I want to continue to cultivate the Great Witch, I will have to wait for some time."

Having said that, he suggested that Li Xiuyuan was severely damaged after losing his essence blood, since essence blood is not ordinary blood, but the most refined blood.

Upon hearing this, Houtu nodded and replied, "Yes, I know. I've waited so many years, a little more time won't make a difference. Besides, my Wu clan's treasury contains many treasures that can help you recover quickly. You can come with me to take a look."

After saying that, she began to lead the way.

Houtu had prepared for this matter long ago. She knew that if Li Xiuyuan forced out his essence blood, it would naturally be very taxing for him, given his cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Therefore, Houtu prepared many highly nourishing items for him so that he could quickly make up for his losses.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded solemnly and replied, "Then, Sister Houtu, please take me there quickly!"

As he spoke, he felt a little tempted; he naturally longed for the treasures of the Witch Clan.

After all, Li Xiuyuan's main purpose in coming to the underworld was the treasure of the Witch Clan!

With these thoughts in mind, Li Xiuyuan followed behind Houtu, while the newly born Great Witch Xiang Yu had already retreated.

Li Xiuyuan named him Xiang Yu because he felt that the great shaman born from his own blood essence naturally inherited some of the laws of power, so he had unique strength. The name Xiang Yu was because in his previous life, the ancient Xiang Yu was strong enough to lift a tripod.

In the world of immortals and heroes, it would naturally be even more extraordinary.

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the treasure vault in the Pangu Palace. In this small world, it was completely controlled by Houtu. With her saint-level cultivation, she could do it with ease.

Moreover, after Houtu's true form as an ancestral witch disappeared, she also gained a primordial spirit. This is what is meant by gaining one thing and losing another.

Li Xiuyuan entered the Wu Clan's treasure vault, where he was greeted by a dazzling array of treasures, including all sorts of precious items such as Star Iron, Heaven and Earth Spirit Fruits, and Innate Spiritual Treasures.

There are dozens of innate spiritual treasures alone, and many of the other treasures were from ancient times and are rarely seen now.

When Houtu saw the fierce glint in Li Xiuyuan's eyes, as if he wanted to stuff all the treasures into his backpack, she couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking to herself that this was exactly the effect she wanted.

Houtu smiled and said, "Little one, don't look around. These things will all be yours in the future."

Having said that, she had already made up her mind to give all the treasures to Li Xiuyuan.

Those innate spiritual treasures were useless to the Wu clan because they were unable to cultivate their primordial spirit, so they were naturally given to Li Xiuyuan.

Most importantly, Li Xiuyuan is now considered the ancestral witch of the witch clan, so what's wrong with him controlling the witch clan's treasure trove?

The more Houtu gives to Li Xiuyuan, the more she will owe him in the future.

"really!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but ask in surprise, seemingly with some doubt.

"Of course, how could I possibly deceive you!"

Having said that, Houtu nodded slightly. Given their status, they naturally wouldn't stoop to deceiving others.

Li Xiuyuan was delighted to hear this. It seemed that coming to the underworld this time was indeed the right decision, as there were so many good things. If he had known earlier, he would have come much sooner.

If Li Xiuyuan had had so many resources to support his cultivation earlier, he probably would have reached the Quasi-Saint realm!

However, it's not too late now. Once Li Xiuyuan obtains these treasures, he will be able to develop rapidly, and even his path to sainthood will be significantly accelerated.

"Thank you so much, sister!"
