Chapter 175 Primordial Map
Dijiang was the patriarch of the Wu Clan, representing their honor.
If he were to personally thank a post-natal being, regardless of the reason, it would become a laughingstock throughout the primordial world.
Those innate gods and demons who hated the Wu Clan wouldn't care about the details; they would seize upon this to ridicule the Wu Clan mercilessly.
It should be understood that at their level of strength, true death was nearly impossible. What they sought, besides the Great Dao, was merely face.
Therefore, Dijiang absolutely could not go, and even if he did, he couldn't offer thanks.
Furthermore, the Wu Clan ruled the earth, and Dijiang, as their patriarch, was the true ruler of the earth, equal in rank to Dijun, one of the two poles of heaven and earth.
His bow was far more terrifying than Houtu's; even a saint wouldn't dare accept such a bow, let alone Feng Zichen. He might even be killed by that single bow.
"This..."
"As my second brother says!"
Di Jiang hesitated for a moment, feeling that his actions were indeed somewhat inappropriate.
"Big brother, could you wait until I finish speaking before making a decision?" Seeing Di Jiang and the others' hesitation, Hou Tu said with amusement.
"Hmm! Could it be that the human race has other methods passed down?" From Hou Tu's tone, Di Jiang sensed something else and asked.
"Big brother, look!" Hou Tu smiled and pointed to the figure in the void.
Instantly, the figure underwent a transformation, with a divine sea manifesting and bloodline awakening; a Yin spirit being born, resembling an ancestral witch... all of this was an interpretation of the Way of Gods and Demons.
"This Way..."
Gazing at the figure interpreting the Way of Gods and Demons, Di Jiang remained silent for a long time.
The previous True Spirit Treasure Control Method had already given him considerable shock. But the appearance of the Way of Gods and Demons brought him utter awe!
The Pangu Body, proving the Way through force, was the highest pursuit of the Witch Clan. At this moment, it was manifesting one by one at the end of the Way of Gods and Demons.
The Path of Gods and Demons points directly to the body of Pangu!
Tell me, among all the paths of the primordial world, is there one more suitable for the Wu Clan than this?
This path is practically a cultivation path specifically created for the Wu Clan.
"Brother, this is the Path of Gods and Demons, a method dedicated to cultivating the true spirit, created by Feng Zichen!"
Seeing the stunned Ancestral Witches, Houtu spoke up, informing them of everything that had happened in the Houtu Palace.
"The Primordial Earth Vein Map?"
"Excellent, a truly brilliant idea!"
"This child's wisdom is far beyond our reach!" "
At least, we, who have ruled the primordial land for countless years, have never thought of such a thing!"
After hearing Houtu's explanation, Dijiang couldn't help but show shame.
Thinking carefully, since becoming the ruler of the earth, he had not achieved any merit; his thoughts and ideas were even inferior to those of a post-natal being, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed before his father.
However, Dijiang was, after all, a top-tier divine being of the primordial world; in an instant, he adjusted his state. He turned to Zhu Jiuyin beside him and said,
"Second brother, please take a look and see what impact the Path of Gods and Demons will have on the future of my Wu Clan!"
Zhu Jiuyin was a wise man of the Wu Clan. He mastered the laws of time and often lingered outside of time, exploring the secrets deep within it.
Therefore, he had a deeper understanding of some of the secrets of the primordial world than ordinary people.
Furthermore, relying on the advantage of Pangu's bloodline, Zhu Jiuyin could capture some scenes from the future to predict its course.
The Wu Clan lacked a primordial spirit and could not communicate with the Heavenly Dao to obtain its secrets, thus they could not cultivate methods of deduction. This was the origin of the Wu Clan's ignorance of divination.
However, the Heavenly Dao was flawed, allowing all things to have a glimmer of hope. The inability to obtain secrets from the Heavenly Dao did not mean the Wu Clan had no other way to predict the future.
As the controller of the laws of time, Zhu Jiuyin was responsible for predicting the future for the Wu Clan. Therefore, whenever a major event affecting the Wu Clan occurred, Dijiang would have Zhu Jiuyin predict it to formulate a plan.
"Yes!"
Upon replying, a strange aura suddenly appeared on Zhu Jiuyin's body, manifesting the laws of time, the power of the years surging forth, sweeping across the eight wastelands.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz..."
As the laws surged, it seemed to connect with the Dao of Time, causing Zhu Jiuyin's consciousness to completely immerse itself in time, looking towards the future.
"Brother, in the future, with the help of the Path of Gods and Demons, the Witch Clan will become even more prosperous!"
After a moment, Zhu Jiuyin's consciousness returned from the past and told Di Jiang what he had seen in the future.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Second Brother!" Di Jiang said, looking at the pale-faced Zhu Jiuyin.
Predicting the future was incredibly taxing on Zhu Jiuyin, requiring at least hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation. Therefore, Zhu Jiuyin would not use such methods unless it was a major event.
"Sister, you did very well!"
"Based solely on the Path of Gods and Demons, he deserves the title of Teacher of the Witch Clan!"
"Once the Primordial Earth Vein Map is completed, I want to see this human, Zi Chen Shi, with my own eyes, to see what kind of person he is, that as a post-natal being, he can do what innate gods and demons cannot!"
"As for now, I will not see him, lest he be targeted by the demon race and suffer a terrible fate!"
Having confirmed his guess from Zhu Jiuyin, Di Jiang made up his mind and said this to Hou Tu.
"Yes!" Houtu nodded and continued, "Once this matter is settled, I will set off for Buzhou Mountain to survey the earth's veins, search for spiritual sites, and draw a map of the primordial earth's veins."
"Speaking of which, I have an idea!" Dijiang's mind stirred, and he slowly said,
"Sister, drawing a map of the primordial earth's veins will inevitably require you to travel throughout the primordial land. Why not take this opportunity to record the primordial terrain as well, and draw a map of the primordial terrain?"
"Not only that, Gonggong, who controls the primordial waters, can certainly draw a map of the primordial water veins!"
"Zhurong, who controls the primordial fires, can also draw a map of the primordial fire veins!"
...
"We, the twelve Ancestral Witches, each control a law of heaven and earth, and can certainly use this advantage to each draw a map of the primordial land!"
"Then, we will combine the twelve maps of the primordial veins, integrating earth veins, water veins, terrain... into one, forming a primordial geomantic map!"
"This would be an immeasurable act of merit!"
"We have ruled this primordial land for many years, yet it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we have accomplished nothing. Whenever I think of this, I feel somewhat ashamed before the Father God's expectations!"
"Moreover, we bear heavy responsibilities, yet we have failed to fulfill them in the slightest, inevitably incurring the dissatisfaction of the primordial beings."
"Their dissatisfaction with us is one thing, but if it tarnishes Father God's reputation, our sin would be immense."
"Perfectly, with this act of great merit, we can solidify our position as the masters of this land, and with it, silence the gossip of the primordial beings!"
