Although the high-ranking officials of the Lich and Demon races have a tacit understanding and have no intention of launching a decisive battle for the time being, small-scale skirmishes and battles between the two races are inevitable in the process of conquering all races.

Moreover, as time went by, these frictions became more and more frequent, and the two races of witch and demon accumulated a huge blood feud, with tens of thousands of people of their race falling every moment.

If it were the initial struggle between the Wu and Yao races, it would have been a contest between powerful figures from the "Demon Heavenly Court," such as Di Jun and Tai Yi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, for the right to rule the world.

Now, with the protracted friction, the lower-ranking members of both clans have lost their beloved relatives and friends at the hands of the other. This grudge has deepened, and both sides are blinded by the aura of calamity, their eyes bloodshot with rage.

Faced with such a rising aura of calamity and an escalating war and slaughter, Lu Yuan naturally would not easily leave the Kunlun Mountain training ground.

You must know that the great calamity of heaven and earth is approaching, and the calamity energy in the world is rising. The Wu and Yao races are bewildered by the calamity energy. If you go down the mountain at this time and provoke karma, and you perish at the hands of the Wu and Yao races, there will be no place to seek justice.

Even if the Three Pure Ones attain sainthood in the future, suppress the Wu and Yao races, avenge themselves, and resurrect themselves from the past, it would still be a losing proposition.

Firstly, even if the Primordial Saint reverses the rules of Heaven and resurrects a Golden Immortal cultivator from the past, he will still suffer the backlash of Heaven. Although it is insignificant to the Saint, it consumes the goodwill that Lu Yuan has accumulated.

Secondly, even if he were to be resurrected from the past, after this fall, Lu Yuan's potential, comprehension, and fortune would be diminished, making his path to the Great Dao even more difficult in the future!

Thirdly, there is the aspect of time. After Lu Yuan was resurrected and returned, the time he was delayed by his fall was like a pause button being pressed, while his comrades or juniors were able to take the opportunity to rise!

The cost of dying once was too great, so Lu Yuan naturally stayed in the Kunlun Mountain training ground to cultivate.

After all, the protagonists of this era are the Lich and Demon races, followed by the Six Sages of Heaven. His era has not yet arrived.

Lu Yuan understood the principle that a wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act.

After condensing the innate water element, the five elements in the chest have successively condensed the innate earth element in the spleen qi orifice, the innate metal element in the lung orifice, and the innate water element in the kidney orifice.

With only the innate wood element of the liver orifice and the innate fire element of the heart orifice remaining, the condensation of the five elements in the chest is complete.

Following the order of the five elements' mutual generation, after condensing the innate water element energy, Lu Yuan prepared to condense the innate wood element energy.

However, in order to condense the innate wood element energy, one must first activate the liver orifice and spirit repository. Therefore, Lu Yuan tried to activate the liver orifice and spirit repository by simultaneously comprehending the Great Dao of Wood and refining wood-based spiritual objects.

And so, another three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, after Lu Yuan refined a wood-based spiritual object, he suddenly felt a jolt in his mind. The wood-based insights he had accumulated before surged into his heart, and it seemed that a gap had opened in the liver orifice of his body, automatically absorbing and releasing the innate spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

"Finally, the vital energy of the liver has been unlocked!"

Inside the Qingxuan Hall, Lu Yuan smiled faintly. After the Three Pure Ones finished their sermon, he went into seclusion to cultivate. After nearly five thousand years, he finally activated the Divine Treasury of the Liver Aperture and could now condense the innate wood element energy in his chest.

He had already collected a large amount of innate wood element energy needed to condense the innate wood element energy in his chest, near the spiritual root of the Tree of Life in the Qingxu Mountain cave.

Within the Purple Mansion Ancestral Aperture Spirit Platform Secret Realm, the innate wood elemental energy in that emerald green glass immortal bottle is enough for thirty to fifty ordinary Golden Immortal cultivators to condense the innate wood elemental energy in their chests!

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Lu Yuan took out the emerald green glass immortal bottle from the Purple Mansion Ancestral Aperture Spirit Platform Secret Realm, then opened the immortal bottle, closed his eyes, and inhaled and exhaled the pure innate wood elemental energy within.

As a large amount of innate wood elemental energy surged into the liver orifice and spirit chamber, a phantom cyan energy pillar gradually appeared above Lu Yuan's head amidst the auspicious clouds, standing alongside three other upright energy pillars of yellow, white, and black.

The four pillars of energy sometimes stand side by side, and sometimes transform into waves of energy that intertwine and collide, swirling around the three flowers and washing over them.

Unlike the yellow, white, and black qi pillars, Lu Yuan had not filled his liver orifice and spirit chambers, nor had he thoroughly condensed his innate wood-elemental qi. Therefore, the blue qi pillar remained illusory and unreal.

.......

Just as Lu Yuan was in seclusion, refining and absorbing the innate wood elemental energy, in the Lingxiao Palace of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Emperor Jun sat on his throne, with Donghuang Taiyi, Xihuang Fuxi, Nuwa, and Tengshe, a powerful newcomer to the demon race, seated below him. The Ten Great Demon Saints and a group of Daluo Demon Saints stood in the hall.

"Elder brother, nowadays, apart from the remnants of the Undying Volcano Wind Clan, the North Sea Black Turtle Clan, the demon clan under the command of the Northern Darkness Kunpeng, and the Western White Tiger Clan, the myriad races on the primordial land have basically been wiped out by our Demon Clan Heavenly Court and the Witch Clan!"

I think it's time for our Demon Clan Heavenly Court to test the strength and power of the Witch Clan and teach those Twelve Ancestral Witches a lesson!

"The Witch Clan is brutal and bloodthirsty, slaughtering my demon clan's sons and daughters time and again. It's time to send troops to conquer the Witch Clan!" A murderous glint flashed in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes, and a scorching fire burned deep within his pupils, manifesting as a three-legged golden crow.

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, the people in the hall frowned slightly. War with the Wu Clan was indeed of great importance, and could even affect the rise and fall of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court. Therefore, everyone present could not help but be cautious.

After a moment of contemplation, Tengshe, the great supernatural being who had just obtained the title of Demon Emperor, spoke up: "What my brother Taiyi said makes sense. The Wu Clan is an obstacle blocking our Demon Heavenly Court. Without eliminating the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Wu Clan, the Demon Heavenly Court will not be able to truly control the order of the primordial world!"

However, in my humble opinion, the most urgent task for our Demon Clan Heavenly Court is to first subdue Fellow Daoist Beiming Kunpeng and his demon clan. Only in this way can the fortune of our Demon Clan Heavenly Court be fulfilled.

As for testing the Wu Clan's foundation and strength, that would be a more prudent approach later...

After listening to Tengshe's suggestion, Dijun's face remained expressionless. He looked at Fuxi and Nuwa and asked, "What do you two think?"

Fuxi cupped his hands and said, "Your subject believes that Fellow Daoist Tengshe's suggestion is more prudent, while Fellow Daoist Taiyi's suggestion also has its merits!"

The specific choice depends on the Emperor's decision: will he choose the safer option or the more aggressive one?

Regarding Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, I believe we can employ a combination of kindness and force. First, we can use military force to coerce him into submission, and then offer him appropriate status and benefits. I think Fellow Daoist Kunpeng will be sensible and pragmatic…”

Nuwa, standing to the side, slightly moved her phoenix eyes and cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "Your Majesty, my thoughts are the same as yours..."

Di Jun nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said, "Fellow Daoists Fuxi and Nuwa are right. Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, as a top-tier supernatural being in the prehistoric world, is indeed not to be underestimated."
