His origins are too mysterious; since his appearance, no one knows anything about him besides his Taoist name 'Xuan Yangzi', but his profound cultivation is enough to indicate that his origins are definitely not simple!"

"What does that matter?" Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch replied discontentedly. "Are we, brothers, actually afraid of him? Why should we watch him take away the Hongmeng Purple Qi?

If word of this gets out, the immortals of all Primordial will probably laugh at us for being scared of that Xuan Yangzi!"

"You blockhead, I really don't know how to explain things to you!"

Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch had long understood his brother's simple-minded and straightforward character, but he still felt a headache at this moment.

"Although the Hongmeng Purple Qi is a Supreme Treasure of the Heavenly Dao, with unimaginable mighty power, and even rumored to grant Sainthood upon acquiring it, these were given to his disciples and grand-disciples by Hong Jun Daoist.

We neither cultivate the Primordial Spirit nor perceive the Laws; this Hongmeng Purple Qi is probably useless to us!

Instead of antagonizing a powerful enemy capable of rivaling Donghuang Taiyi over something useless to us, it's better to turn hostility into alliance and make a powerful ally."

"This..."

Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch furrowed his brows tightly but was speechless, unable to find any reasons to refute.

Indeed, if the Hongmeng Purple Qi was useless to the Ancestor Witches, it would truly be an unwise move to offend a powerful ally for that.

"Moreover, when you threatened him just now, Xuan Yangzi seemed confident, obviously still holding a trump card. If we had really forced him to act, even if we succeeded in seizing the Hongmeng Purple Qi, it certainly wouldn't have been easy."

Emperor Jiang Ancestor Witch sighed and continued: "As it stands, the might of the Demon Court is growing stronger and stronger. After he has dealt with the Independent Immortals of the East Sea, he will inevitably see our Witch Clan as the next target..."

He did not continue further.

Zhu Rong Ancestor Witch's expression became solemn.

He understood Emperor Jiang's meaning.

When that Demon Emperor Emperor Jun established the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, he had boasted that he would unify all the tribes of Primordial, leaving only the Demon Clan between Heaven and Earth!

The current Demon Clan was a fusion of many Primordial tribes, with over eighty percent of the tribes already subdued.

If allowed to continue growing, they would surely make a move against their Witch Clan.

Although their Witch Clan was powerful, facing the fused might of all Primordial tribes alone would invariably result in a grave situation.

Under these circumstances, the Ancestor Witches also needed to learn to make more allies instead of more enemies.

"The two elder brothers are considerate!"

Zhu Rong nodded, finally understanding, although still somewhat reluctantly looking at Zhu Jiuyin and asking, "Are you sure this Hongmeng Purple Qi is of no use to us?"

"Even if it is useful, it doesn't matter." Zhu Jiuyin said calmly: "Compared to the Hongmeng Purple Qi, I care more about the future of our Witch Clan."

As the brain of the Witch Clan, Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch was undoubtedly wise.

He knew well that the path of the Witch Clan and that of the Cultivators were fundamentally different.

For Cultivators, Hongmeng Purple Qi was a Supreme Treasure, but for the Witch Clan that cultivates the body through the absorption of turbid evil aura and walks the Power Dao, the possibility of it being of any effect is minuscule.

Thus in his eyes, a powerful ally was definitely more important than that strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi!

Especially after the several Ancestor Witches' recent commotion in the Heavenly Court, a confrontation between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan had become unavoidable, and in not too long, countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals would probably be directed towards Buzhou Mountain!

...

After leaving Buzhou Mountain, Yu Yuan released Chang Xi Fairy from the Qiankun Ruyi Bag.

"You're letting me go?" Chang Xi Fairy looked at him with some surprise. "After Red Cloud Ancestor's fall, I thought you would kill me to avenge him."

"Every debt has its debtor... Forget it, why am I even telling you this." Yu Yuan waved his hand with declining interest. "You better leave quickly."

"Are you really letting me go?" Chang Xi Fairy tentatively looked at him.

For some reason, she found that she couldn't quite penetrate the man in front of her anymore.

Yu Yuan didn't speak, just glared at her with annoyance.

Chang Xi Fairy shrank back a little and whispered, "Then I'm really leaving, okay?"

After saying that, seeing that Yu Yuan had no intention of stopping her, she quickly transformed into a cool stream of moonlight and disappeared into the sky.

Yu Yuan sighed softly, then stretched out his palm in front of him.

His gaze was fixed on his palm.

Within the palm, several red dots the size of needlepoints were floating.

This is the last few sparks of wisdom light that remained after Red Cloud Ancestor self-destructed his Primordial Spirit, at any moment they might be completely extinguished by the gentle breeze.

Seeing this scene, Yu Yuan once again felt somewhat emotional.

Although Red Cloud Ancestor's strength was not as great as those top-level Great Divine Power wielders, it was still far from weak.

He had many friends and was renowned throughout the Primordial era, yet in the end, he met such a miserable fate, which truly made people sigh with emotion.

Buzz buzz~~

At this moment, the air trembled, and soon after, a slender figure quietly appeared.

"Why have you come back again?"

Yu Yuan said sullenly.

The person who had arrived was none other than Chang Xi Fairy.

"Um~"

Chang Xi Fairy's gaze fell on the spark of wisdom light in Yu Yuan's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "I just thought of something... Red Cloud Ancestor's spark of wisdom light hasn't completely dissipated, there's still hope for him to be reborn from Nirvana."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Is that true?!"

Chang Xi Fairy nodded, then shook her head, speaking hesitantly, "The Nirvana Technique is the ineffable secret of the Primordial Phoenix, and I too accidentally came across it and barely understand a fraction of it, I've never tried it before…"

Yu Yuan immediately understood her implication, without any hesitation he replied: "Don't overthink it, go ahead and try anything that might work. If it works, I will owe you a favor; if not, it's not a problem."

Hearing this, Chang Xi Fairy also breathed a sigh of relief, whispering, "Then shall I try?"

Yu Yuan waved his hand, "Try! Just go ahead and try!"

Chang Xi Fairy nodded, took the spark of wisdom light from Yu Yuan's palm into her own hands, then clasped them together, red flames burst forth from her palms, seemingly powerful enough to burn everything, but in reality, a large amount of Life Essence was converging towards the center of her palms.

This is Nirvana Fire?

Yu Yuan was inwardly amazed, never expecting that the Moon Goddess would understand the exclusive secret technique of one of the three dominators of the Ancient Times, the Primordial Phoenix.

She possesses the Nine-Colored Glaze Heart, the heritage of the Primordial Phoenix, and also follows the footsteps of the Innate Divine – most importantly, this Moon Goddess is truly kind-hearted!

Although she could have left, she turned back to save someone.

And the one she's saving is an opponent from her faction.

Of course, perhaps with her Nine-Colored Glaze Heart, she has her own judgment of good and evil.

Yu Yuan felt that he shouldn't categorize her within the Demon Court's camp.

At this thought, he saw Chang Xi Fairy stop her actions.

Her complexion looked pale, and beadlike sweat appeared on her smooth forehead, seemingly finding it extremely difficult to use the Nirvana Fire, draining a lot of her origin power.

Yet, there was a hint of joy on her face.

The Nirvana Fire between her hands gradually extinguished, and then she slowly parted her palms, a gentle stream of cloud energy floated out and ascended into the sky.

It was light and graceful, like an elegant ribbon dancing in the Heavenly Vault.

The cloud energy was a pale white, exuding a peaceful, tranquil aura.

Under the sunlight's illumination, the cloud became brighter and clearer, as if radiating the power of life, giving people the feeling of its vitality.

"He has been reborn, but all his Dao Xing and memories are gone…" Chang Xi Fairy said somewhat wearily: "After a long period of time, he will transform again, Cultivate, and comprehend the Dao... However, by that time, he will be a completely new life."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan's mind stirred, and he instantly thought of someone.

"In that case, this might not necessarily be a bad thing."

Chang Xi Fairy didn't quite understand the meaning behind his words.

Yu Yuan did not explain.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a throb in his heart, signaling that the time was almost upon him.

Before leaving, he looked solemnly at Chang Xi Fairy, thanked her, and then said earnestly, "I'll remind you, do not casually tell others about the Nine-Colored Glaze Heart and Nirvana Fire, such treasures can easily attract envy, and not everyone is like me."

"You're right..."

Chang Xi Fairy pursed her lips, whispering softly, "Others covet only my Nine-Colored Glaze Heart, but what you covet is... huh, why have you suddenly disappeared?"

...
