Chapter Twenty-Two: The Appearance of the Human Witch
In order to seize the fortune of the human race, Xuan Chu planned to have the Wu Clan make contact with the human race, and ideally bind the human race to the Wu Clan. That way, with the fortune of the human race in hand, even the Heavenly Dao would not dare to act rashly.
"Uncle, but how should we make contact with the human race?" Dijiang asked, puzzled. Making contact with the human race was not a problem, nor was helping the human race, but the question was, how should we do it?
Xuan Chu said, "Now that the human race is newly born, they are not very clear about the survival rules of the prehistoric world. What you need to do is teach the human race how to survive in the prehistoric world. In addition, help the human race resist external threats and integrate with the human race. Hou Tu, I entrust this matter to you. You will direct them on how to do it."
Of the twelve Ancestral Witches, only Houtu was meticulous. Xuan Chu was worried that the others would be too abrupt and frighten the human race, so he asked Houtu to lead them.
"Me?" Houtu hesitated when she heard Xuan Chu ask her to command her older brothers and sisters. She said, "Uncle, I am the youngest. How can I order my older brothers and sisters around? Why don't you let my eldest brother do it?"
"What are you afraid of?" Xuan Chu said, "Your brothers and sisters are all brainless. Letting them do it directly will only make things worse. You are different. You are meticulous. I trust you the most to handle this matter. If these eleven idiots dare to disobey you, just tell me, and I will have a way to deal with them." After saying that, Xuan Chu glared at the eleventh Ancestral Witch.
The eleven Ancestral Witches were frightened by Xuan Chu's gaze and waved their hands repeatedly, saying, "We dare not, we dare not. Uncle, rest assured, we will do our best to cooperate with Sister Hou Tu and will not be negligent in the slightest."
"Alright then, since Uncle and my brothers and sisters have said so, Houtu will do it. However, if there is anything Houtu does poorly, please forgive me, Uncle and my brothers and sisters." Houtu nodded and said.
"That's right. As descendants of Pangu's elder brother, how can we be timid and hesitant when faced with problems?" Xuan Chu said, "I feel that my cultivation has increased recently, and I need to go into seclusion for a while. I'm leaving the Wu Clan to you. Remember to do the things I've assigned you well. If you haven't done a good job after I come out of seclusion, see how I deal with you."
After Xuan Chu obtained half of the human's fortune, he felt that his realm was becoming somewhat unstable. So he decided to go into seclusion to see if he could break through and return to the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Golden Immortal realm. Once he returned to the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Golden Immortal realm, even if Hongjun merged with the Dao, he would naturally not be afraid.
"Uncle, rest assured, we will definitely do what you have instructed us to do perfectly," the Twelve Ancestral Witches replied.
"Hmm!" Xuan Chu waved his hand and said, "You may all leave."
After the Twelve Ancestral Witches left, Xuan Chu closed the gates of the Pangu Palace and set up a barrier outside the palace to prevent anyone from getting close. Since Xuan Chu awakened, he has directly used the Pangu Palace as his Daoist temple, and even the Twelve Ancestral Witches dared not object.
After Xuan Chu went into seclusion, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, following Xuan Chu's instructions and under Hou Tu's arrangement, began to make contact with the human race. At first, the human race was startled by the sudden enthusiasm of the witches and was very wary. However, after the witches arrived in the human race's territory, they did not show hostility. Instead, they used their powerful bodies to solve many problems for the human race and gradually gained the human race's trust.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches also set aside their airs and treated the three human ancestors, who were still at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, as equals, allowing the human race to feel the sincerity of the Witch Clan.
As the two tribes interacted more and more frequently, powerful witch men and beautiful human women were drawn to each other and, through their union, gave birth to human witches who were half-human and half-witch.
Human witches are different from pure-blooded witches and pure-blooded humans. Pure-blooded witches typically need three hundred years to produce offspring, and their reproductive capacity is extremely low. Therefore, most of the time, the twelve ancestral witches need to use the Pangu Blood Pool to create more members of their race. Pure-blooded humans generally need ten months of pregnancy, while human witches need three years. Human witches are not as intelligent as humans, nor as physically strong as witches, but they possess both. Importantly, humans possess a primordial spirit, and their lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary humans.
The emergence of human shamans caused a great upheaval in both the human and shaman races. For the shaman race, the two biggest factors restricting their development were their slow reproduction and the lack of a primordial spirit. Although human shamans reproduced more slowly than humans, they reproduced much faster than the shaman race. More importantly, human shamans possessed a primordial spirit.
For the human race, the biggest disadvantages are the lack of cultivation methods and their weak physique. Although the human race does not have any cultivation methods, the physique of human shamans is much stronger than that of ordinary humans. They are born warriors and can give the human race a powerful fighting force.
Therefore, the three ancestors of the human race personally discussed the ownership of the human witches with the twelve ancestral witches. However, the twelve ancestral witches were not foolish. Human witches were also very important to the witch race, and it was impossible to hand them all over to the human race. However, without the cooperation of the human race, the witch race alone could not produce human witches. Therefore, it was impossible for the witch race to take all the human witches for themselves. After discussion, a rule was set: when the human witches grew up, they would decide for themselves whether to stay with the human race or with the witch race. However, the human race had another request: that the witch race could teach the human witches who stayed with the human race the physical cultivation method and send people to help train the human witches. Since Xuan Chu already had a mission, the twelve ancestral witches would of course not refuse. However, the cultivation method taught to the human witches was only the most basic level, but it was already very good for the human race.
The leaders of both sides informed all the witches of this decision. In the end, 70% of the witches chose to stay in the witch clan, while the remaining 30% chose to stay in the human clan. Although the difference in percentage was quite large, the human clan was still satisfied. After all, the witch clan was much stronger than the human clan. A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and the human clan leaders could understand the choice of the 70% of witches.
Just as the human and witch races were worrying about the future of humans and witches, the Supreme Lord, the head of the Three Pure Ones and the chief disciple of the Xuanmen, entered the Zixiao Palace.
"Disciple pays respects to Master, wishing Master a long and prosperous life!" Taishang bowed to Hongjun.
"No need for formalities!" Hongjun nodded and said, "Supreme Lord, I wonder if you have made any progress in comprehending the Primordial Purple Qi?"
Taishang shook his head and said, "This disciple is dull-witted. I have been trying to comprehend the Primordial Purple Qi for a long time, but I have gained nothing. I have disappointed my teacher."
"I knew it would turn out this way," Hongjun thought to himself, and then said to Taishang, "Taishang, what are your thoughts on the human race created by Nuwa?"
"Human race?" Upon hearing Hongjun mention the human race, Taishang was somewhat puzzled. He knew about the human race himself. Although they were born with innate Dao bodies, their strength was extremely weak. The entire human race only had three Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators. Such strength was insignificant in the entire prehistoric world. If it weren't for Nuwa's sake, the human race would probably have been wiped out long ago. What was there to pay attention to about such a race?
Seeing Taishang's state, Hongjun knew that he had never paid attention to the human race, so he reminded him, "Taishang, if you want to comprehend the secret to becoming a saint, go to the human race more often. Perhaps you can gain some insights."
