I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 331 - 14: Enlightened Six Witches (2/3)

After a long time, Bahu and Golden Horn had already left long ago.

As the Golden Crow set in the west and the Jade Rabbit rose in the east,

Specks of starlight sprinkled upon the desolate ground below.

At that moment, six figures appeared out of thin air in the distance, strolling leisurely across the ravaged land.

Until they reached the center of the battlefield, where Long Jikui last stood.

By now, the soil had been completely eroded into obsidian by the lava.

The solid obsidian even reflected the moonlight, giving off an exceptionally chilling feeling.

"This battle was really something else..."

The tall leading man exclaimed while crouching to touch the solid obsidian.

This man was about ten feet tall, with a sturdy build.

Holding a Witch Staff, he clearly had the appearance of a Great Witch.

"Right now, the Celestial Gods have almost been wiped out by Wu Yi, and there aren’t many who can defeat the ’Horror God Corpse’."

"Wu Peng, do you think it could be that Celestial Being from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"

The speaker this time was a hunched, small-built man with a face covered in various Witch Patterns.

Compared to the tall Wu Peng, this man was cloaked in a gray robe, giving off an eerie aura at first glance.

"Wu Fan, I think you’re overthinking it."

Wu Lv, who had been walking at the back, couldn’t help but interrupt after casting a glance at the worried Wu Fan.

"You and I both know the abilities of that Celestial Being; this clearly isn’t his doing."

Prompted by Wu Lv’s reminder, Wu Xiang, the most skilled in combat among them, then spoke up.

"Wu Lv is right; whether it was the initial Wind and Fire Power or the terrifying suction that followed, neither is that Celestial Being’s capability."

"However, considering that Celestial Being is exceptionally adept at learning and has astonishing creativity..."

"It’s not impossible for him to have developed a new ability over the past year or so."

Wu Di, whose robust build was second only to Wu Peng, chimed in, continuing the conversation.

"Let’s not forget, Wu Yi stubbornly wanted to choose him as his successor."

"Plus, Wu Yi ended up dying in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range..."

"Who knows if he left anything for his intended successor?"

Listening to his brother’s criticisms of Wu Yi, the only female among them, Wu Yang, instinctively spoke up in defense.

"Wu Yi chose that Celestial Being as the Witch King’s successor with the unanimous consent of all Great Witches."

"We, the Enlightened Six Witches, all voted in favor too..."

"Are you now saying that you misjudged before?"

Seeing Wu Yang defend Wu Yi so staunchly, Wu Di hesitated for a moment and dropped the topic.

He clearly had no intention to argue with his third sister on this matter, as everyone knew she was Wu Yi’s most ardent supporter.

Even among the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches, Wu Gu’s stance wasn’t as unwavering as hers.

"Alright, what’s there to argue about among siblings?"

"Besides, Wu Yi is dead and gone now; is it necessary to let a dead man affect sibling relationships?"

Standing up slowly, Wu Peng, the head of the Enlightened Six Witches, said this.

"What I care more about isn’t those things; I just think it’s bad enough that Wu Yi himself died without bringing that Celestial Being into our ranks."

"Now the ’Witch King’s legacy’ is broken, the Nine Tripods are hidden..."

"If we hadn’t found the ’Undying Tripod’ in advance, securing a competitive edge, I reckon Great Xia would’ve already lost the country again."

This was the real reason why Wu Di couldn’t stand Wu Yi.

The way he did things was simply too crude, and he didn’t consult with the Great Witches of Great Xia beforehand.

To be honest, Wu Di felt that if Wu Yi had given a heads-up to the Great Witches beforehand, he wouldn’t have faced betrayal during the battle with the Gods of the East Sea.

"Of all the Witch Kings, Wu Yi was the most extreme and unconventional."

"I wouldn’t be surprised at anything he did..."

"Besides, are we Great Witches really worthy of his trust?"

Wu Fan’s muttered remark left the Enlightened Six Witches in silence.

Great Xia has stood on this land for thousands of years.

The tangled grievances between the Great Xia Gods and the Great Witches have also lasted for thousands of years.

Among the Great Xia Gods, there were those who opted to openly support Wu Yi.

So naturally, among the Great Witches, there were also those who secretly sided with the Gods.

Thus, despite Wu Yi’s actions being extremely haphazard this time and triggering a catastrophe far beyond anyone’s expectations...

From the perspective of the Great Witches, none genuinely thought the calamity Wu Yi initiated was wrong.

On the contrary, each Great Witch had witnessed the hardships of human survival and knew how terrifying the Gods’ oppression of mortals was.

Only over these thousands of years has the rapid expansion of humanity’s numbers, and the increasing emergence of Innate Divine beings, barely managed to balance the oppression by the Gods.

But it still didn’t fundamentally resolve humanity’s inherent struggle for survival.

In this context, saying every Great Witch is a staunch "human supremacist" might be an exaggeration.

Yet claiming that only one in two Great Witches is a "human supremacist" would surely leave many without an answer.

As long as it doesn’t affect Great Xia, no catastrophe is seen as significant in the eyes of the Great Witches.

If this catastrophe could also cleanse non-human Spirit Monsters and the Fang Kingdom, it might even be considered a pleasant surprise by the Great Witches.

"Why do you all like to bring up the most uncomfortable topics?"

Seeing the atmosphere descend into eerie silence, Wu Lv, who held relatively neutral views, opened his mouth helplessly.

"Wu Yi is of the past..."

"At least until we bring him back to life, we have to figure out how to deal with the mess he left behind."

"The strong Celestial Gods were wiped out by him, and the ordinary Gods have been demoted to Innate Divine due to cosmic changes."

"But this cannot last long; the cosmic order is bound to be restored one day."

"For those Gods, only two safe zones exist now—one is Great Xia, and the other is the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"The former would require contending with us; unless necessary, no God is likely to actively go to Great Xia."

"The latter, although guarded by that Celestial Being, also reconnects the Gods with the cosmic order through the real Path of Celestial and Human."

"So if we don’t want to fall behind in this ’survival competition’..."

"We must become stronger than those Gods before the cosmic order is restored."

At this point, Wu Lv paused slightly before continuing his speech.

"The ’Elixir of Immortality’ is our only hope to surpass the Gods."

"We took risks using the ’Undying Tripod’ and unhesitatingly used the Longbo Giant as an experiment, breaching our contract with the Gods..."

"Regardless of what happens, we cannot give up on that only nearly successful ’Horror God Corpse’."

The last words were spoken by Wu Peng, the leader of the Enlightened Six Witches.

Hearing Wu Peng’s words, the attending Great Witches exchanged glances, seeing hesitation in each other’s eyes.

If that "Horror God Corpse" actually fell into the hands of the Celestial Being, they had no confidence in retrieving it.

"How about we try cultivating another ’Horror God Corpse’ from scratch?"
