Chapter 168 Heading to the Witch Clan
While the Witch Clan possessed incredibly powerful physical bodies, hailed as the strongest in the primordial world, their weakness was also glaringly obvious: the lack of a primordial spirit, preventing them from wielding innate spiritual treasures.
In the early stages of the Witch-Demon Era, the Demon Clan was far weaker than the Witch Clan, yet they grew stronger with each battle against the Witch Clan's relentless attacks, even establishing a Heavenly Court and sharing the primordial world with the Witch Clan.
This was due not only to the secret assistance of the Heavenly Dao, but more importantly, to the innate spiritual treasures they possessed, which repeatedly averted certain death.
Without these innate spiritual treasures, the Demon Clan would have long been annihilated by the Witch Clan.
This also demonstrates the Witch Clan's immense power.
If they could overpower the Demon Clan with their bare hands, imagine how powerful they would be if they used innate spiritual treasures; the Witch Clan would truly be the undisputed leader of all races in the primordial world.
The importance of mastering spiritual treasures to the Witch Clan was self-evident, which explains the attitude of Xing Tian and Kua Fu.
"Fellow Daoists, you are too kind. It's not that I'm unwilling to pass on this method, but while it's excellent, it has significant flaws. It's fine for a Grand Luo Golden Immortal to use it, but if a Taiyi Golden Immortal or lower cultivator uses it, it's fraught with danger. A slight mishap could damage their True Spirit, cutting off their path and leaving them with no way to advance."
"Then, my sin would be immense!"
Feng Zichen quickly stepped forward, helping the two to their feet and explaining.
The True Spirit is a person's foundation, crucial to their future path!
Using the True Spirit to control spiritual treasures in battle is no easy task. A slight mishap could damage the treasure, and if this affected the True Spirit, there would be nowhere to turn for help.
Taiyi Golden Immortals and other Golden Immortals are relatively fortunate because their True Spirits possess a trace of immortal divinity, which can be restored after millions of years of cultivation.
But how many millions of years can they afford to waste?
As for cultivators below the Golden Immortal level, if their true spirit is damaged, they are completely ruined, with no possibility of advancing to the Golden Immortal realm.
Oh!
It's not that it can't be repaired. When reincarnation is established in the future, and they enter it, they can reincarnate for thousands of lifetimes and recover.
However, by then, how many can remain conscious?
Even if they are conscious, are they still themselves?
It can be said that this method is specifically prepared for Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Great Luo Golden Immortals have immortal and indestructible true spirits, existing forever. Only they can use the power of their true spirits without any worries, without the fear of their true spirits being damaged and affecting their path to cultivation.
The true spirit's control over magical treasures is even more powerful than the primordial spirit's control over magical treasures. Why didn't the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world discover this?
It's because the true spirit is too important; they simply didn't think in that direction.
At that time, Feng Zichen was a clueless fool who thought that the true spirit was more advantageous than the primordial spirit. Then why cultivate the primordial spirit at all? Wouldn't it be better to cultivate the true spirit directly?
Therefore, based on this concept, he enthusiastically developed the True Spirit Cultivation Method.
For a considerable period, he was quite pleased with himself, believing himself to be a person of great wisdom, able to think what ordinary people couldn't.
Little did he know the enormous hidden dangers this method would leave for the path of gods and demons.
By the time he realized it, it was already too late…
Otherwise, who could have conceived of such a secret method that kills eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of one's own?
"Please rest assured, fellow Daoist, we are naturally aware of the drawbacks of this method. After you pass on this method, it will only be practiced by Great Luo Golden Immortals, not by the rest of our clansmen," Xing Tian said, standing up.
"If that's the case, fellow Daoist, you can simply pass on this method. There's no need for me to make a trip to the Wu Clan." Having already passed on the method to Xing Tian and Kua Fu, Feng Zichen had no intention of hiding it.
Moreover, when he passed on the secret technique to the two, he hadn't said anything about it being forbidden to be shared, which was tacit permission for them to freely spread the method. He
hadn't expected the two to be so honest, not only seeking his consent but also asking him to personally go to the Wu Clan to pass on the method. This inevitably raised Feng Zichen's opinion of the two even higher.
You must know that passing on this method is a great thing that benefits an entire clan,
naturally blessed with good fortune. Moreover, it's for the Wu Clan, the strongest race in the prehistoric world. The benefits they would receive are unimaginable. The two didn't even consider it and directly pushed it to him, which shows their character.
"Fellow Daoist, you jest. Such a momentous matter concerning the future of our clan is not something we can presume to do. It would be best if you handled it yourself." "You will be rewarded accordingly."
Seeing that Feng Zichen was unwilling to go to the Wu Clan, Xing Tian became somewhat anxious and even offered his benefits in advance.
"Then we'll have to trouble you!" Since the two were so sincere, Feng Zichen couldn't refuse any longer and nodded in agreement.
Besides, he was also somewhat curious about the Wu Clan and wanted to see what made this strongest race in the prehistoric world so different.
"No trouble at all."
"Fellow Daoist, please follow me!"
With a wave of his hand, Xing Tian and Kua Fu led Feng Zichen towards the Houtu Tribe.
"By the way, fellow Daoist, I've heard that your ancestral witch Zhurong is proficient in all the fires under heaven and deeply understands the essence of weapon forging. He has forged a unique path in weapon forging, creating a method for crafting divine weapons exclusively for the witch clan."
"It's rumored that some of the divine weapons he forged are no less powerful than acquired treasures. Why haven't we seen you use them?"
On the way to the Houtu tribe, Feng Zichen suddenly recalled a rumor and asked Xing Tian.
Zhurong was born with the power of fire, able to control all the fires in the world and burn everything in between. With this advantage, he naturally achieved extraordinary success in weapon forging.
It is said that Zhurong collected tens of thousands of innate spiritual materials from the primordial world, fused them together, and forged twelve innate divine weapons, each no less powerful than an innate spiritual treasure, to serve as the weapons of the twelve ancestral witches.
Judging from this rumor, the witch clan naturally has its own exclusive weapons. Why didn't we see the two of them using them in the battle just now?
"Don't even mention it. If innate divine weapons were truly as powerful as the rumors suggest, no less than innate spiritual treasures, the demon race would have been wiped out long ago. There wouldn't be this mess today." Xing Tian's expression changed, and he said to Feng Zichen with some helplessness.
The Great Dao is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth, the cornerstone of its existence!
Laws are the rules governing the operation of heaven and earth.
Cultivators in the primordial world, regardless of whether they follow the immortal or demonic path, all cultivate by comprehending the Great Dao and exploring the ultimate principles of heaven and earth in order to achieve harmony with the Dao and return to their true nature.
The Wu race is different. They are a race derived from the bloodline of Pangu, born with the ability to control the rules. They are, in essence, natural controllers of order.
This advantage allows them to progress without needing to comprehend the Great Dao; they only need to continuously comprehend the laws they control.
Once they fully master their own laws, those laws will align with the corresponding Great Dao, allowing them to ascend to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
The extraordinary nature of the Wu race is thus evident!
