Chapter 28: Supreme Merit and Spiritual Treasure: The Primitive Divine Map

On the final page. The Twelve Ancestors of Witchcraft chose the great witch Zimo from the Di Jiang tribe to unite with Xingtian. Firstly, they belonged to the same tribe. Secondly, Zimo's innate potential was inferior to Xingtian’s, so their union would be more advantageous for nurturing a witch clan with a primordial spirit. As for the ordinary witch warrior Meng Yu, there was no solution! At that moment, among the two hundred forty million warriors of the witch clan, any randomly selected individual would be far stronger than Meng Yu. Ultimately, the Twelve Ancestors of Witchcraft selected a witch woman named Hou Jian from the Houtu tribe to pair with Meng Yu.

Upon seeing that the significant matter was settled, the Ancestor Witch Di Jiang smiled and said, "Now that we have the six methods complete, I wonder what this seventh method you mentioned entails?"

Di Cang pondered for a moment and respectfully replied, "The seventh method I speak of is civilization; it can be seen as a supplement to the sixth method." Di Cang continued, "For a powerful race, for a great force, if they wish to endure forever and have a long-lasting legacy, they must possess their own civilization!"

"Of course!" Di Cang added, "The intangible influence that civilization brings to our witch clan is merely secondary."

"At this moment," he elaborated, "what is most useful for us is the development of civilization, which brings us immense merit and power!"

"For instance," Di Cang said, "not long ago, our witch clan established an ancestral cult, hoping to use its power to guard the vast land of chaos forever."

"The first step we need is to have a sufficient understanding of the vast land of chaos and possess the ability to monitor it entirely."

"To achieve this, we must create a geographical map of the chaotic world and assist it with some treasures of fate."

Di Cang then explained his ideas to the Twelve Ancestors of Witchcraft. In simple terms, there were two steps. First, using the immense powers of the Twelve Ancestors, they would create a geographical map encompassing all territories of chaos. Second, the witch clan would gradually support just forces in various places and forge the "Fate Divine Seal," using the name of Pangu, with the "Fate Divine Seal" as a divine treasure to confer upon various gods and suppress the regions.

At that time, they could use the power of these two treasures in tandem to monitor all areas. This would not only help the witch clan acquire two divine treasures but also allow them to gain a certain amount of merit and fate.

Such civilization and innovation represent what is known as the seventh method of civilization.

Of course, the so-called map of chaos is merely a small example; true civilization must include writing, legal codes, as well as inventions and creations in all aspects of life. However, the current witch clan can be said to be starting from scratch, with nothing to begin with, and must take one step at a time. Di Cang's choice was to start with creating the map!

"Creating the map and the Fate Divine Seal?" The Twelve Ancestors of Witchcraft considered this in their hearts. Ancestor Witch Houtu smiled and asked, "How do we create it?"

In reality, the knowledge Di Cang possessed about map-making was only at the level of a high school graduate. However, for the powerful beings of the chaotic world, even this basic knowledge was sufficient to aid them in their extraordinary abilities.

Di Cang then shared all the knowledge he had mastered. After listening, Ancestor Witch Houtu and Ancestor Witch Di Jiang contemplated it internally. Ancestor Witch Di Jiang smiled and said, "This is quite simple!"

He explained, "The most challenging part of creating the map is understanding the vast land of chaos. The chaos is boundless; even those at the quasi-saint level cannot claim they can traverse enough distance in their lifetimes to cover all corners of the chaotic land."

"However, Houtu is different!" Ancestor Witch Di Jiang smiled and added, "Houtu walks the path of the earth, mastering the powers of the earth among the three thousand chaotic paths, and with her cultivation level, she can connect with the powers of the great path."

"Typically, innate divine demons would have no way to communicate with such powerful great path forces for their own use."

"But if we want to create a divine treasure of the earth, to bless the land, the great path will surely respond and assist us with all its might. Thus, we may be able to encompass the entire chaotic land. What does little sister think?"

All the Ancestors turned their gazes towards Ancestor Witch Houtu.

Houtu pondered, "We need to try it first to know for sure!"

At that moment, Ancestor Witch Houtu sat cross-legged and drew upon the countless years of hard cultivation to invoke the "Chaotic Foundation," using its power to summon the great path of the earth, merging it with herself.

Houtu began from the Bu Zhou Mountain. With the power of the earth path, she was able to possess a considerable understanding of the Bu Zhou Mountain within the chaotic world.

Using her earth origin path, Houtu condensed the essence of the nine heavens and refined the map, while following Di Cang’s methods to draw the many mysteries of the map, as it was the first time a map was being created in the chaotic world.

Upon completing just the territory of Bu Zhou Mountain, boundless merit power manifested, coalescing into golden clouds of merit in the void, faintly revealing what seemed to be a weak tricolor divine light hidden within, representing the most exquisite golden clouds of merit.

When the golden clouds of merit appeared, they split into three. One portion was bestowed upon the chaotic divine map. One portion was given to Ancestor Witch Houtu. One portion was gifted to the great witch Di Cang.

The aura around Ancestor Witch Houtu gradually became ethereal, as she drew upon the power of merit from the great path, deepening her connection with the great path. The mysteries of the chaotic divine map became even more profound, seemingly able to slowly communicate with the geography of chaos through its own power.

Thus, a virtuous cycle was formed. Continuous streams of merit power kept appearing. At the same time, the great path's response and the power they could gain grew increasingly strong.

In the end, an incredibly terrifying aura, as if the embodiment of the great path, fused into Houtu’s being. At this moment, the being crafting the chaotic divine map was no longer Houtu but transformed into the earth path among the three thousand chaotic paths.

The chaotic divine map began to take shape at a visible speed.

Uncertain how much time passed, a new surge of merit appeared, close to the tricolor merit clouds, splitting into three and falling onto the two individuals and the object.

The chaotic divine map before everyone finally took complete shape.

Everyone looked up in awe!

They beheld the chaotic divine map manifesting before them, as it was the first map of the chaotic world created during the forging process, and due to the establishment of the ancestral cult, it possessed the mission of helping the cult monitor the vast land of chaos, thus acquiring the power of two near-tricolor merit clouds.

If they were able to absorb all the merit clouds' power, they might even advance further and transform into an extraordinary treasure of merit.

However, the power of merit was divided into three. Although the chaotic divine map had taken shape, it was still merely a top-tier treasure of merit.
