However, since the opponent has appeared, this opportunity must not be missed. It is known that he resides in the Heavenly Court and rarely shows himself. Now that he knows of the transaction between Ju Mang Ancestor Witch and Wood Virtue Star Lord, he will undoubtedly be more vigilant.

If today Qingling Primordial Lord is allowed to return, and the Daojun behind him seeks to balance the Witch Deity Teaching by spending a great cost to seize the Wood Dao Authority for him, it might really assist him in achieving Tao Certifying.

The saying goes: a Daojun cannot nurture another Daojun in the Heaven and Earth.

According to the happenings in the Heaven and Earth, perhaps a Daojun can help a cultivator become a True Immortal, but to cultivate a being into a Daojun, even at great cost, is a dim hope.

Yet nothing is absolute. This saying "a Daojun cannot nurture another Daojun" actually refers to a normal Daojun, but a Daojun with potential to ascend further, who is not hindered by future paths even with assistance.

However, if one chooses to sacrifice future potential, spending tremendous costs, it may forcibly elevate a True Immortal at Sixth Heaven touching the Daojun threshold to become a Daojun.

But such Daojuns are often not recognized by many other Daojuns as peers. These Daojuns possess great combat strength, but their realm does not match, and their future potential has already dried up, leaving no hope for further progress, making them unrecognized.

Moreover, every True Immortal, especially those at Sixth Heaven reaching the Daojun threshold, has carved their own path. As long as they achieve Tao Certifying, there is hope to climb to the summit, with immense potential. Who would willingly sacrifice their future for such short-sighted gain in combat strength?

Not until hitting rock bottom would any True Immortal be willing to do so. Even strong ones like the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder would rather chart a new course, seeking reincarnation, than accept such a pseudo-Daoist state, lowering themselves everywhere.

For Qingling Primordial Lord, it is the same. He is merely a step away from the Daojun level, why would he sacrifice his future?

It's known that even using such a method, even if temporarily becoming a Daojun, there would be no future advancement, only to witness others continuously grow stronger, what suffering it would be.

But that was before. Before, Qingling Primordial Lord had hope and opportunity.

Yet now he knows of the transaction between Ju Mang Ancestor Witch and Wood Virtue Star Lord. The authority held by both will gather with Ju Mang Ancestor Witch. After the other certifies the Dao, it poses a great threat to himself, becoming the greatest obstacle to his Tao Certifying.

No one knows what crazed actions those who have lost hope will take.

The Witch Deity Teaching is not without enemies. If they let those people unite with the Daojun behind the Five Old Lords, they have enough power to forcibly propel Qingling Primordial Lord into Daojun.

When facing a great enemy like Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, as long as those Daojun give promises, there's no guarantee Qingling Primordial Lord won't conceive some mad idea of mutual destruction.

The hope is small, the opportunity slim, but Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch cannot take the gamble, even a small mistake is unacceptable.

For those of the Taoist School, even if they lose Qing Laojun, they can easily find a replacement. Moreover, if they can drag an Ancestral Witch of the Witch Deity Teaching into the water, it's a great profit for the Taoist School. It's much harder to select an Ancestral Witch of the Witch Deity Teaching than picking a Five Old Lord of the Taoist School.

Therefore, this opportunity must not be missed. Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch is ready to act, even if it means provoking some Daojun titans. He can't worry about it.

As long as he can seize the opponent's Wood Dao Authority, it will be profit for the Witch Deity Teaching even if some Daojun come because of it.

Of course, he is still somewhat apprehensive about the Five Old Lords. He knows taking the authority is possible, but he must spare Qing Laojun's life.

But without the Wood Dao Authority, Qing Laojun is nothing in Zhu Jiuyin's eyes, no longer a threat to him, to Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, or even to Wood Virtue Star Lord.

Time Stagnation!

Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch is a decisive person. Once he has decided to act, he shows no hesitation.

The powerful Five Elements Formation is difficult to break in a short time for Wood Virtue Star Lord and Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, but to Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch, it isn't worth mentioning.

Not to mention he himself possesses combat prowess comparable to Daojun, the reversal of the Time Laws alone is enough to suppress this Five Elements Formation.

Once this Divine Ability of Time Stagnation is exerted, it seems in an instant as if the entire time has come to a halt, and the Five Old Lords clearly feel a loss of control for a moment.

In battles between the strong, it's all about the slightest margins. Even a brief moment of stagnation allows Wood Virtue Star Lord and Ju Mang Ancestor Witch to seize the opportunity.

The Five Elements Formation is inherently ceaseless, but under the Time Stagnation, it broke in an instant, which is enough for Ju Mang Ancestor Witch and Wood Virtue Star Lord.

Bang!

Several Divine Abilities landed on the Five Old Lords, unleashing terrifying destructive power.

"Time Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin!"

"Zhu Jiuyin, you deserve to die!"

"This is a Daojun-level Divine Ability."

"A Daojun attacking True Immortals, Zhu Jiuyin, you are courting death!"

The Five Old Lords were blasted back, their faces pale, eyes showing despair, shouting angrily, reprimanding harshly.

They never expected Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch to be here, launching a sneak attack, easily breaking the Five Elements Formation with just one move.

The power of the Time Laws is truly terrifying.

Moreover, the most shocking thing to them was that the Divine Abilities Zhu Jiuyin displayed at this moment were absolutely beyond a True Immortal, fully comparable to a Daojun.

A Daojun sneak attacking five True Immortals is truly shameless.

What they couldn't understand was why the opponent was so arrogant, daring to defy the rules and attack them, wasn't he afraid of Daojun's penalties?

"If not acting now, waiting for when?" Zhu Jiuyin said to Ju Mang Ancestor Witch and the others.

"I have not ascended to Daojun, why can't I act?"

Zhu Jiuyin was not moved at all, insisting he had not attained Daojun, outright denying it.

Some things can be done but not mentioned. Anyway, the realm he exhibits is only at True Immortal Sixth Heaven. As for some Daojun believing he is already a Daojun, he has never admitted it.

As long as he hasn't stepped into True Immortal Seventh Heaven, he is not a Daojun. Even if he is stronger, he's just a powerful True Immortal Sixth Heaven, not a Daojun. He decided that as long as he stubbornly refuses to admit it, it's just a matter of dispute.

Seeing Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch being so shameless, the Five Old Lords were furious but quickly teamed up again, knowing that survival was crucial.

Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch's face was cold and resolute. Unwilling to waste time, he knew the urgency of seizing Qingling Primordial Lord's Wood Dao Authority as quickly as possible.

Once it becomes a fait accompli, even if a Daojun reacts, it ends up being a mutual dispute. However, if given a chance to escape, there would be no such good opportunity left.

Ju Mang Ancestor Witch beside him shared the understanding. Upon seeing Zhu Jiuyin act, he immediately followed suit.

Clang!

A sword cry echoed through the void, a sharp sword light tore through the void, directly striking towards Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch, blocking his attack, preventing him from striking the Five Old Lords again.

"Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch, this act is too much." A faint voice echoed, causing Zhu Jiuyin's expression to turn somber.

"Dragon Tiger Mountain, Bai Qicang!" Zhu Jiuyin coldly uttered a name, his eyes glinting with killing intent.

He said to Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, "The Five Elements Formation has been broken, leave the rest to you, Bai Qicang is mine."
