Chapter Two: Xuan Chu Appears to Save the Witch Clan
The Twelve Ancestral Witches defeated the demon race with the phantom of Pangu, but their efforts were thwarted by the appearance of Hongjun. Dijiang spoke rudely, angering Hongjun. Just as Hongjun was about to teach the Twelve Ancestral Witches a lesson with his giant palm, a long sword pierced through the air, shattering the giant palm and saving the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Hongjun was shocked to see his attack interrupted. Although it was not his full-force strike, with his cultivation at the sixth level of the Saint Realm, equivalent to the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, no one in the entire prehistoric world should have been able to stop him, except for Yang Mei.
Just as Hongjun was wondering whether the person who blocked his attack was Yang Mei, a young Taoist appeared and stood in front of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, confronting Hongjun. The newcomer was none other than Xuan Chu, who had just awakened.
"Who are you, fellow Daoist, and why are you blocking my way?" Upon seeing Xuan Chu, Hongjun frowned, for he had never met Xuan Chu before. Logically speaking, he had taken human form at the beginning of the world and had experienced the great calamity of ferocious beasts, the struggle for supremacy among dynasties, and the great calamity of the Dragon-Han era. He had seen all the older generation of cultivators in the prehistoric world. Unless the person before him was not from the prehistoric world, but if he was from another region, the Heavenly Dao of the prehistoric world would surely have issued a warning upon his entry into the prehistoric world. This puzzled Hongjun greatly.
Xuan Chu sheathed the Hunyuan Sword, glanced at the Three Pure Ones beside Hongjun, smiled, and said, "I am Xuan Chu, the younger brother of Pangu!"
This statement shocked everyone, especially the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, because their lineages never contained any record of Xuan Chu.
Hongjun carefully examined Xuan Chu and found that he could not see through Xuan Chu. There was only one possibility: Xuan Chu was stronger than him. This made Hongjun feel threatened, especially since Xuan Chu claimed to be Pangu's younger brother and had saved the Twelve Ancestral Witches from his hands. All signs indicated that Xuan Chu had come to protect the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chu, the Twelve Ancestral Witches disrespected the Heavenly Dao, and I am punishing them on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. Your sudden appearance may anger the Heavenly Dao." Seeing that he could not defeat Xuan Chu, Hong Jun had no choice but to invoke the Heavenly Dao. After all, the Heavenly Dao was the biggest boss in the prehistoric world, and no matter how arrogant Xuan Chu was, he would not dare to oppose the Heavenly Dao.
However, Xuan Chu's reaction greatly disappointed Hongjun. A voice from afar said, "What is the Heavenly Dao? Without Brother Pangu and myself, what is the Heavenly Dao? Why should I listen to it?"
As soon as Xuan Chu uttered these words, the sky instantly changed color, and thunder rumbled beyond the nine heavens. This was a sign of the Heavenly Dao's wrath. Seeing the Heavenly Dao's wrath, Hong Jun was secretly delighted, thinking that it would be best if the Heavenly Dao could kill Xuan Chu directly, then he would still be in charge of the prehistoric world.
Facing the wrath of Heaven, Xuan Chu remained unconcerned and silently summoned the Golden Wheel of Merit. This wheel was not formed from the merit of Heaven, but rather from the merit of the Great Dao bestowed upon Xuan Chu by the Great Dao after he fought against three thousand Chaos Demons and Gods in the Chaos and opened up the Primordial World. With the merit of the Great Dao, even Heaven could not do anything to Xuan Chu.
As expected, the moment the Great Dao Merit Golden Wheel appeared, the Heavenly Dao immediately cowered.
Seeing that the Heavenly Dao had backed down, Hongjun was quite helpless and could only say, "Fellow Daoist, the Wu Clan's control of the land and the Demon Clan's control of the heavens is the general trend of the primordial world, which even the Heavenly Dao cannot change. I hope you will not make a mistake for yourself."
"The Primordial World was created by my elder brother. I don't care about any grand power or power. However, I have no interest in the Thirty-Three Heavens. Giving it to the Demon Race is not out of the question. But Hongjun, let me tell you, I will decide the affairs of the Witch Clan from now on. Not even the Heavenly Dao itself can control the Witch Clan. I will naturally seek an explanation from you for what happened today. Witch Clan, listen to my command and return to the Pangu Palace with me," Xuan Chu said.
Xuan Chu didn't care about the power or influence of the heavens. However, the Thirty-Three Heavens were not suitable for the Wu Clan to live in. In order not to provoke the Heavenly Dao too much, Xuan Chu should not think that the Heavenly Dao was truly powerless against him just because he had the merit of the Great Dao. After all, the Great Dao had now retreated. If the Heavenly Dao really wanted to eliminate Xuan Chu, it could still do so as long as it paid the price. Before returning to the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian realm, Xuan Chu still could not provoke the Heavenly Dao too much.
Before leaving, Xuan Chu glanced at the Three Pure Ones and said, "Three Pure Ones, you are the transformations of Pangu's primordial spirit, and can be considered his offspring. If you still acknowledge me as your uncle, then come to the Pangu Palace." After saying this, Xuan Chu left with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
After Xuan Chu left, Hongjun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Di Jun and Taiyi, "This matter ends here. From now on, the demon race shall retreat to the Thirty-Third Heaven. They shall not descend into the Primordial World lightly without cause, or they will bear the consequences. Sanqing, come with your master to Zixiao Palace." After saying this, he left with the three Qing.
Inside the Pangu Palace, the Twelve Ancestral Witches cautiously looked at Xuan Chu, appearing hesitant to speak, which Xuan Chu found quite amusing. He said, "Say whatever you want to say."
"Master, you say you are the younger brother of Pangu, the Father God, so why is there no record of this in our lineage?" Dijiang asked cautiously. Although Xuan Chu had saved his brothers and sisters, they still dared not casually acknowledge Xuan Chu as their uncle. After all, Pangu was supreme in the hearts of the Wu tribe, and they would not allow anyone to desecrate Pangu.
Xuan Chu understood the thoughts in the minds of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. He didn't speak, but simply raised his hand and waved it. A vast amount of memories entered the minds of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. They saw the scene of Pangu and Xuan Chu fighting side by side against three thousand Chaos Demons. They also heard Pangu call Xuan Chu "my brother". At this point, they finally acknowledged Xuan Chu's identity.
After the image disappeared, the Twelve Ancestral Witches immediately knelt before Xuan Chu and respectfully said, "Di Jiang (Zhu Jiuyin...) greets Uncle!"
"Alright, get up, all of you!" Xuan Chu was overjoyed to see that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had finally acknowledged him as their uncle.
"Thank you, Uncle." The Twelve Ancestral Witches stood up and thanked him repeatedly.
"You all did a great job and did not disgrace Brother Pangu." Xuan Chu affirmed the twelve Ancestral Witches' unyielding spirit in the face of Hongjun.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches smiled. They were very happy to receive Xuan Chu's affirmation, after all, Xuan Chu was an elder, and his praise was no less than that of Pan Gu.
"Uncle, since you survived from the Chaos, why have you never appeared all these years?" At this moment, Houtu, the Earth Ancestral Witch, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, asked Xuan Chu. Houtu was asking the same question that the other Ancestral Witches wanted to ask. After all, Xuan Chu was a person from the Chaos era. If he had appeared long ago, then there would be no need for Hongjun in the prehistoric world.
Xuan Chu said, "During the Great Chaos War, I was seriously injured and had no choice but to give up my demon god body and use my primordial spirit to reside in Pangu's heart. Later, Pangu's heart transformed into the Pangu Palace, and I slept under the Pangu Blood Pool until recently when my physical body was reconstructed and I awoke. That is why I have never appeared in the prehistoric world." Xuan Chu also told the Twelve Ancestral Witches about his experience.
Upon hearing Xuan Chu's words, the Twelve Ancestral Witches suddenly realized, "Yes, in the Great Chaos War, even Father Pangu exerted all his strength, so how could Uncle be unharmed?"
"Uncle, I wonder who is stronger between you and Hongjun?" At this moment, Gonggong, the ancestral witch of water, asked. Now that he knew Xuan Chu's identity, he also wanted to know who was more powerful between Xuan Chu and Hongjun, since Xuan Chu would be their witch clan's greatest support in the future.
Xuan Chu glanced at Gong Gong and instantly understood Gong Gong's little scheme, but he didn't care. After all, the battle at Buzhou Mountain had made the Twelve Ancestral Witches realize the gap between them and the Heavenly Dao Hongjun. In addition, because of his appearance, they could be said to have offended Hongjun to death. If his strength was not as good as Hongjun's, then they would be in big trouble in the future.
"Hongjun is only a sixth-level Saint, at most a mid-stage Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, while I am a peak Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. In general, my strength is above Hongjun's. However, if Hongjun has the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, I can only be evenly matched with him. But don't worry, before Hongjun merges with the Dao, with me here, he can't do anything to the Wu Clan," Xuan Chu said.
Hongjun's strength is two minor realms lower than Xuanchu's. However, Hongjun is, after all, the representative of the Heavenly Dao and can receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's power. With the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's power, Hongjun can only fight Xuanchu to a standstill. When Hongjun merges with the Heavenly Dao in the future, he will probably be able to unleash the strength of a Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian, which is the Heavenly Dao Realm. Unless Xuanchu can recover his Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian cultivation, he will not be able to defeat Hongjun.
