77: Chapter 72: The Invitation of the Witch Clan 77: Chapter 72: The Invitation of the Witch Clan Taiyi was taken aback upon hearing Di Jun’s words.
He had never considered this question and suddenly fell into silence.
Di Jun did not urge him but waited quietly instead.
After a long while, Taiyi slowly exhaled a breath.
Di Jun could feel Taiyi’s vigorous and lofty spirit and knew that Taiyi had made his decision.
With high spirits, Taiyi said to Di Jun: “Elder brother, I’ve decided.
I want to train on my own.”
“I may grow quickly or slowly on my own.”
“But if I keep travelling the Primordial under elder brother’s protection, I might never get the chance to fight alongside you.”
“Moreover, I won’t allow myself to always be under your protection.”
Listening to Taiyi’s words, Di Jun nodded and said: “Since you’ve decided, then go ahead and do it.”
Taiyi should be , otherwise how could Donghuang Taiyi have such a reputation in the legends of his former life.
Then Di Jun’s mind stirred, and the River Map and Luo Book appeared in front of him, a phantom River Map and Luo Book separating from within.
With a wave of his hand, Di Jun sent the phantom River Map and Luo Book into Taiyi’s body.
Throughout the process, Taiyi made no actions; he trusted his elder brother would absolutely not harm him.
“This River Map and Luo Book carries a strand of my Primordial Spirit, which can borrow the power of All Heavens Stars when necessary.”
“I think it should be able to protect you for a while during your most dangerous time,” said Di Jun.
Taiyi thought about it but did not refuse, instead saying: “Thank you, elder brother.”
After that, Taiyi left.
In the time following, Di Jun continued to travel the Primordial with Xi He and Chang Xi.
However, it wasn’t long before Xi He and Chang Xi also expressed their wish to leave, which Di Jun didn’t try to hold back.
Now, only Di Jun was left.
There was no longer a need to travel; it was time to settle some accounts.
In the past, when he imprinted mountains and rivers for the River Map and Luo Book, he had been pursued by some reclusive Primordial Golden Immortals.
Now it was time to pay them back.
On some matters, Di Jun was not that scheming, something which Wu Tian had deeply experienced back then.
It was unknown whether Wu Tian had recovered the lost part of the Outer Heaven Demon’s Origin.
In the following time, Di Jun visited these races one by one and battled with their senior ancestors.
The outcomes of these battles were at least a draw.
After completing all his visits, Di Jun’s collection had grown significantly, all given generously by these races.
They were the kind that Di Jun couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to.
After all this, Di Jun had planned to visit those powers from the legends of his previous life, such as The Three Pure Ones, Fu Xi, Nuwa, and so on.
However, after sensing Taiyi’s message, he immediately returned to the Sun Star.
Back at the Sun Star, Di Jun saw the Fusang Tree and Taiyi again.
The Fusang Tree hadn’t changed much, only its essence had grown stronger.
As the path of Fusang Tree was different from theirs, Di Jun was unsure of how far it had progressed.
As for Taiyi, Di Jun could clearly sense the changes in him.
Taiyi’s cultivation realm had become more profound, and his edge more apparent.
Furthermore, Di Jun could feel a faint aura of battle intent on Taiyi, not directed towards himself.
It seemed like he couldn’t fully conceal it.
Taiyi had undergone significant changes and had a battle-hardened feel compared to when he left.
Taiyi called out as soon as he saw him.
“Taiyi, you’ve changed a lot.
It looks like your training in the Primordial has been fruitful,” said Di Jun.
“Indeed it has been fruitful,” replied Taiyi.
“Taiyi, can you briefly talk about what you’ve experienced?” asked Di Jun.
A look of reminiscence appeared on Taiyi’s face.
“Actually, when I first left elder brother, my goal was clear, which was to witness the strength of the Witch Clan.”
“After all, having seen Zifu State already, how could I not go see the Witch Clan?”
Di Jun listened quietly, without comment.
Due to the legends of his previous life, Di Jun had always subconsciously avoided this topic.
“Later, I happened upon Shebi Corpse on the way, and we had a comparison.”
Shebi Corpse, one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, Di Jun was aware of this.
“In the physical confrontation, we were evenly matched.”
“But the moment I used other powers, Shebi Corpse was no match for me at all.”
Taiyi said this with evident pride.
“Afterward, I followed him to the gathering place of the Witch Clan.”
“Have you been with the Witch Clan all this time?” Di Jun asked.
“Yes, the entire Witch Clan are a bunch of warmongers, and my cultivation grew fastest in battle, so I stayed there,” Taiyi responded.
Di Jun nodded at this.
Indeed, the Witch Clan did not have as many schemes; strong individuals could gain their respect, while the weak became their food.
Clearly, Taiyi was among the strong ones.
Moreover, Taiyi’s reputation was built upon stepping on the East King of Zifu State, which naturally made him close to the Witch Clan.
After all, it was a suppression of the East King’s prestige.
And with Di Jun, a Primordial Golden Immortal of the Primordial, standing behind Taiyi, the Witch Clan naturally would not seek enmity lightly.
“The Twelve Ancestor Witches truly live up to their fame, and they are much more straightforward than that East King,” remarked Taiyi.
To this, Di Jun didn’t say much.
He didn’t have much affection for the East King, having only the connection from their past and his own curiosity about fate or destiny.
“What is the reason for your message to me this time?” Di Jun asked, no longer inquiring about Taiyi’s growth, but the purpose of his communication.
“Elder brother, it’s because I was entrusted by others.”
By the Witch Clan?” guessed Di Jun.
“That’s right, the Twelve Ancestor Witches would like to invite elder brother to be a guest at the Witch Clan,” Taiyi said directly.
Di Jun’s voice was full of questions.
He had almost no dealings with the Witch Clan, so why would they suddenly invite him as a guest?
At this point, Taiyi said: “The Twelve Ancestor Witches indeed said it was to be a guest, but more so, they want to exchange pointers with elder brother and see the power of a Primordial Golden Immortal.”
“They told me this without concealing their intentions, and they were much more straightforward than the East King,” added Taiyi, as if afraid his brother would refuse: “I told them that even if the Twelve Ancestor Witches fought against you together, they would not be your match and that there was no need to compete.”
“But the Twelve Ancestor Witches confidently assured they have their ways.”
Taiyi now wanted the Twelve Ancestor Witches to feel the strength of his own elder brother.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun naturally understood the method of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, which was nothing other than the Twelve Devastating Gods Formation.
