Junior Uncle is too cunning.

He missed the first time the Dao Ancestor preached, he didn't understand the second time, and the third time he preached the Dao of the Sages, which even the Three Pure Ones and others didn't understand much of, let alone him.

Randeng could only return to Yuanjue Cave on Lingjiu Mountain with his Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation level and silently begin his secluded cultivation.

At that time, the Lich King was at his peak. Let alone a minor Golden Immortal like him, even Yuanzi Hongyun and others from Styx Town couldn't make a splash.

At that time, the most famous were the Demon Emperor Di Jun, the ruler of the Demon Court, Donghuang Taiyi, Xihuang Fuxi, Nuwa, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan. They were the protagonists of the world. Even the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West are only slightly famous now.

Especially the great calamity of the Lich King, when the Burning Lamp Daoist recalls it now, he feels a chill in his heart. In particular, he could see the murderous aura emanating from the twelve ancestral witches of the Witch Clan when he was at Mount Lingjiu.

Like a yellow sac, red as cinnabar fire, with six feet and four wings, it is a chaotic entity without a face. The ancestor of space and speed is Dijiang, the leader of the twelve ancestral witches.

Green as bamboo, with a bird's body and a human face, riding two dragons, he is Jumang, the ancestral witch of the Eastern Wood element.

With a beast's head and a human body, covered in red scales, with fire snakes piercing his ears and fire dragons under his feet, he is Zhu Rong, the ancestor of fire in the south, and the progenitor of fire-wielding.

With a human face and a tiger's body, covered in golden scales, with wings growing from its shoulder blades, a snake piercing its left ear, and riding two dragons, it is Ru Shou, the ancestral witch of the Western Metal element.

With a python's head and a human body, covered in black scales, standing on a black dragon, and with a green python wrapped around his hand, he was Gonggong, the ancestral sorcerer of the northern waters.

Xuanming, the Ancestral Witch of Rain, is one of only two females among the Twelve Ancestral Witches. She is a ferocious beast covered in bone spurs, making her look extremely majestic.

Houtu can be said to be the gentlest of the twelve ancestral witches. She has a human body and a snake tail, seven hands behind her back and two hands in front of her chest, holding a flying serpent in her hands. She is the ancestral witch of the central earth.

With a snake in its mouth and a snake in its hand, a tiger's head and a human body, four hooves and long elbows, it is Qiangliang, the Thunder Ancestral Witch among the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

With a human face and a snake's body, and entirely crimson, he was Zhu Jiuyin, the ancestral witch of time. He was the strategist of the witch clan and a rare sage.

With eight human heads, a tiger's body, and ten tails, it is Tianwu, the ancestral witch of wind, whose speed is comparable to that of Dijiang, the ancestral witch of space.

With a human face and a bird's body, green snakes hanging from his ears and a red snake in his hand, he is Xi Zi, the ancestral witch of electricity among the twelve ancestral witches.

With a human face and an animal body, and ears like a dog's with green snakes hanging from them, he was Shebi Shi, the Ancestral Witch of Weather among the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were known as the Twelve Demon Gods at the time. They were born with unparalleled physical strength, capable of devouring heaven and earth, manipulating wind, water, thunder, and lightning, filling seas, moving mountains, and changing the world.

Especially when all twelve Ancestral Witches gathered together to use the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation, they could condense the true form of Pangu, creating heaven and earth and destroying the world. Few below the level of a saint could match them. Especially during the first war between the Witches and Demons, if it hadn't been stopped by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, there probably wouldn't have been the majestic Demon Court afterwards, not to mention Demon Emperor Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and others.

In fact, most of the gods and demons born in ancient times were transformed from the body of Pangu, the god who created the world, especially the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan.

After Pangu's Nirvana, the pure energy rose to form the Three Pure Ones, namely the Supreme Pure Sage, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Master of the Heavenly Realm; the turbid energy sank down, gathering the five elements of chaos from heaven and earth to form spirits, which became the ancient Wu tribe, namely the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Wu tribe. Therefore, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones can all be said to be incarnations of Pangu.

To explain in detail, the relationship between Pangu, the Three Pure Ones, and the Wu tribe is quite simple.

The Three Pure Ones are like the roots of a tree that have been cut down and grafted into three parts. The Ancestral Witches are like mutated plants that grow from the trunk of a tree after it has been cut down; they are derivative new forms of the tree, but not trees themselves. Later, the grafted plants and mutated plants were better cultivated and grew much taller and more luxuriant than the original tree—this is the relationship between the Three Pure Ones, the Ancestral Witches, and Pangu.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan were people who could be associated with the Three Pure Ones. Needless to say, they were incredibly powerful. In particular, the true form of Pangu that they summoned was comparable to a sage. If Fuxi and others hadn't used the Hetu and Luoshu to deduce the Zhou Tian Star Array and used the power of heaven and earth to fight against the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array of the Witch Clan, it's hard to say whether the great calamity of the Witch and Demons would have happened.

In ancient times, geniuses emerged in great numbers and prodigies roamed freely. Even the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West were not the most dazzling, let alone him, the listener of the Dao at Zixiao Palace. After all, Zixiao Palace always had three thousand guests for each Dao listening session. Although there were always losses, people would always be added to make up the numbers, so there were always exactly three thousand people each time.

Among the three thousand ancient powerful beings, even the lowest-ranking one was at the same level as Randeng. People like the Three Pure Ones, the Western Two Saints, Di Jun, and Donghuang Taiyi were all powerful beings who had already advanced to the Quasi-Saint level.

Basically, Ran Deng was the one with the lowest cultivation level among the three thousand guests, ranking low. If it weren't for the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King, in which the three thousand guests suffered heavy losses, it's hard to say whether Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the three thousand guests who had heard Dao Ancestor preach, would even recognize Ran Deng.

It could be said that Ran Deng was slow at one step and slow at every step. However, fortunately, his cultivation level was not high and he was located in the remote Lingjiu Mountain. So when the Wu and Yao races recruited experts, they simply ignored him, which allowed him to safely pass through the Wu-Yao calamity. Otherwise, he might have perished in this calamity long ago.

What seems like a blessing in disguise may actually be a curse in disguise. Unexpectedly, Randeng survived the perilous Lich Calamity, only to perish in it.

The more he thought about it, the more disheartened he became. Just as his three flowers were about to dissipate, a ruler and a bright lamp suddenly sprang out from his ceiling.

The ruler was entirely purple, making it appear dazzling, but it remained somewhat indifferent to the strange phenomenon of the lamp. The lamp, on the other hand, seemed rather impatient. Just as the lamp was about to succumb to its demonic influence, the lamp suddenly struck the ruler hard, scattering a few drops of light. The originally bright wick dimmed instantly, as if it had been seriously injured.

The lamplight splashed into the three flowers and purple mansion of the lamp-burning immortal, extinguishing much of the inner demon. The lamp-burning immortal, being a veteran Great Luo Golden Immortal, immediately regained his senses. Looking at the dimmed three flowers and the damaged dantian, he calmed down and seized the opportunity created by the lamp, suppressing the inner demon again in no time.

He breathed a sigh of relief, slowly summoning the lamp, his heart aching terribly, his eyes filled with malice.

In the primordial world, there were three divine lamps, known as the Three Lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The Jade Void Glazed Lamp is the Heavenly Lamp among the three lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Inside the lamp is a golden flame called "Myriad Spirits Ancient Flame," which possesses the ability to perceive all spirits. It is a treasure of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, but because the Primordial Celestial Venerable possesses many treasures, this lamp is not well-known. It was simply used by the Primordial Celestial Venerable for illumination when he preached and expounded the Dharma.

The ground lantern is one of the Eight Scenic Palace Lanterns, containing a ball of "purple flame" called "Heaven-Burning Purple Fire." This fire is incredibly powerful, said to have the ability to burn the heavens and boil the seas, and it belonged to the Supreme Sage.

The coffin lamp, one of the three lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Man, is the most mysterious. It disappears after birth, and it is only said that there is a "gray flame" inside the lamp, called "ghost fire of the underworld." This fire leads directly to the underworld and has the ability to reveal the life of the deceased.

The lamp that just saved Daoist Ran Deng is the Human Lamp Coffin Lamp, which is Daoist Ran Deng's birth treasure. It has been by his side since he was born.

In fact, the fact that the coffin lamp could serve as the companion spiritual treasure of the Burning Lamp Daoist is actually closely related to the Burning Lamp Daoist's true form.

In fact, few people in the primordial world know that Daoist Ran Deng was also a rare immortal who attained enlightenment through the transformation of spiritual treasures.

However, the true form of the Burning Lamp Daoist was quite peculiar, being the first coffin in the primordial world.

A coffin is a container for holding a human body, usually used in funerals. The coffin containing the body is called a spirit coffin.

The coffin lamp contains ghostly flames that can communicate with the living and the dead, making it a perfect match for the lamp's original form.

This is probably why Dipankara Buddha, who later abandoned Taoism for Buddhism, broke through to become a Quasi-Saint so quickly. After all, Buddhism emphasizes the concept of Nirvana and cause and effect, which is in harmony with his original nature. In addition, with the blessing of good fortune, his breakthrough to Quasi-Saint was also due to his profound accumulation of knowledge over the years.
