Chaotic eras birth heroes, not because only chaotic times can spawn the Heaven's Proud, but because only in such times can true talent be unconventionally identified and given the chance to rise.

For many cultivators, a stable world order may provide security in their time of weakness, allowing them to engage in cultivation step by step, but this very stability also binds them, forcing them to slowly accrue seniority.

Great waves sift sand, and it is only in true chaos, where danger coexists with opportunity and old rules are broken, that new rules can emerge, offering cultivators the chance to seize the moment and soar.

Reflecting on the return to the Ancestral Land, the Conferred God War, the start of the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan, every turning point in life took place during a shift in the world order.

...

The incarnation of the Witch God Sect Leader dissipated, and a ray of Spirit Light returned to the body, as he stood silently atop a Divine Mountain of the Witch Deity Teaching, watching the surging sea of clouds.

Even as mighty Taoist Monarchs like the Taoist Monarch Tianji continued to clash within the Chaos Void, this failed to spark any interest in the Witch God Sect Leader.

He closed his eyes slightly, contemplating his plans.

While the Witch Deity Teaching is one of the most powerful forces in this world, it is among the most low-key within the top immortal sects, seeming indifferent to many matters and often disregarding the competition for benefits.

This is not only because many of these benefits are not critical to the Witch Deity Teaching but also because they are already in possession of ample shares of benefits, comparatively more than other immortal sects.

Not to mention anything else, the position of the Imperial Honors Houtu within the Nether Yin Department is the highest authority just below the Ghost Immortal's incarnation, the Fengdu Emperor, on the Longevity Dao.

Shamans have always been intermediaries connecting the heavens and the earth, and by linking heaven and earth, the Witch Deity Teaching has effectively strengthened its most crucial foundation. What comes next is merely a matter of how much they will occupy.

Of course, the most important point is that the Witch Deity Teaching has two veteran Taoist Monarchs and several beings with martial power on par with Taoist Monarchs. They are already behemoths among the various forces in the world. If they continue to expand, it is bound to attract discontent from others, leading to a collective suppression.

The Witch Deity Teaching's survival from ancient times until now, aside from their formidable strength, also hinges on their understanding of what to embrace and what to forsake. Even when they appear domineering in public, they always leave room for maneuver and never truly corner themselves into a position besieged by all.

Given the power of the Witch Deity Teaching, they are qualified to sit above the fray like fishermen, observe the conflicts among various forces calmly, and have ample time to accumulate strength, not necessarily contesting for fleeting glory.

Ultimately, the development path of the Witch Deity Teaching differs from that of other top immortal sects, with entirely different trajectories.

For other immortal sects, their strength relies on more outstanding disciples. As long as these prodigies cultivate their skills and embark on the Cultivation path, they can become pillars of the sect.

Although the Witch Deity Teaching also needs outstanding disciples, the Heaven's Proud they seek are not ordinary cultivators but individuals of the human race who can align with the Great Witch God Path.

During the Ancient Era, countless Clans lived in each territory, teeming with beings capable of cultivating the Ancient Martial Path, yet not every being eligible for cultivation can qualify to become a Witch Priest and wield the authority of rituals, leading the tribe forward.

The requirements for Witch Priests are strict and unique. Even with exceptional talents, if one cannot truly connect with the heaven and earth and gain the recognition of the Ancestral Witch, they cannot embark on the path of a Witch Priest.

Some powerful Clans might possess formidable strength but face the terrifying reality of a severed Witch Priest lineage.

The ancient Human Race Common Master had many rivals when they ascended to their position. Amongst their subjects, there were also those who did not fall short of their strength, even some whose combat power surpassed them. However, these individuals ultimately could not ascend to the Common Master's position because they were not Witch Priests.

This is true for the Witch Deity Teaching as well. Even if your talent is peerless, a rarity that comes once in a thousand or ten thousand years, it means nothing if you cannot cultivate the skill of Witch Deity Teaching, and fail to receive recognition from the Ancestral Witches. Without these, they will not truly cultivate you.

Therefore, to some extent, the Witch Deity Teaching, due to their strict selection of disciples, is in conflict with the conditions for recruiting disciples of the top immortal sects, overlapping only in certain aspects.

However, earning the recognition of Ancestral Witches is just one aspect. There are many disciples of Witch Deity Teaching who have received the acknowledgment of the Ancestral Witch Venerable Position, but very few can truly ascend to it. To this day, the Venerable Positions of Ancestral Witches within the Witch Deity Teaching are not yet fully occupied.

The Ancestral Witch is the Witch Deity Teaching's highest inheritance. Only those who obtain the recognition and wield the Venerable Position of the Ancestral Witch can become the true Wielders of the Witch Deity Teaching. Only when the positions of the Witch Deity Teaching's Ancestral Witches are truly filled, can it be the peak moment for the Witch Deity Teaching.

The main goal of the Witch God Sect Leader in inviting Fire Virtue Star Lord is precisely this: among the many powerhouses in this world, there are many who cultivate the Great Path of Fire, including countless True Immortals, but very few have the qualifications to Refine the Ancestral Witch of Fire, Zhurong.

The Ancestral Witch of Fire wields the Fire Path Authority, and it is predetermined to stand at the pinnacle of the Great Path of Fire. Even if the Witch God Sect Leader were to find someone else who earned the recognition of the Ancestral Witch of Fire and cultivated them, and they Refined Zhurong's Authority, it is destined that a conflict for the supreme Authority of the Fire Path will arise with the Fire Virtue Star Lord.

A Taoist Monarch, especially a veteran one, has amassed significant depth and hidden strength, of which no one can be entirely sure.

Moreover, under the current rules, it's incredibly difficult to seize the Authority of Fire Virtue Star Lord without the ability to kill a Taoist Monarch. Even if it were possible, the inability to kill the other party would inevitably make the Witch Deity Teaching establish a deadly enemy.

Any top immortal sect does not fear True Immortals, but they also do not want to face a powerful Taoist Monarch as an opponent, Witch Deity Teaching included.

If there were no other choices, then so be it, as the Expansion Plan of the Witch Deity Teaching is most important after all. Anyone who obstructs the growth of the Witch Deity Teaching will be mercilessly crushed by them.

But now that there is a choice, the Witch God Sect Leader can entirely invite the Fire Virtue Star Lord to join and entertain the idea of Refining the Honorable Position Zhurong.

This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone, immediately filling a Venerable Position of the Witch Deity Teaching's Ancestral Witch, and recruiting a Taoist Monarch level powerhouse for the Witch Deity Teaching.

As for the concern that the other party might renege on their agreements after achieving their goals, the Witch God Sect Leader stated that such a possibility would never occur.

Once they truly Refine the Venerable Position of Ancestral Witch Zhu Rong, they will profoundly realize the strength of the Witch Deity Teaching and understand that the Witch Deity Teaching is the best choice.

Moreover, if they were to conceive a thought of leaving the Witch Deity Teaching after understanding its structure, then the Witch God Sect Leader would at that time praise their audacity!

"It seems that this invitation has been successful!" A voice rang out beside him, and the Witch God Sect Leader slowly opened his eyes.

Time Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiu Yin, this Demon God from the Ancient Times, has been cultivating within the Witch Deity Teaching since his return. Except for the rare occasions when he took action to expand the worlds for the Witch Deity Teaching, he mostly stayed within the Witch Deity Teaching.

After all, compared to other powerhouses, these God-Devils from Ancient Times had a unique advantage, which was their lengthy accumulation over time.

Once powerful and unrivaled in the Ancient Times, although they had yet to step into the Immortal Path due to the constraints of heaven and earth, the lengthy times gave them unimaginable accumulation and insight into the cosmos.

Now that they've returned, regaining their former power is much simpler than for ordinary Cultivators.
