Chapter 178: Di Jun Bleeds, Haotian Descends
"No!"
Facing the anxious Nuwa, Yuanshi Tianzun's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Although there are indeed four strands of origin within Mount Buzhou, once they are extracted, the mountain body will completely collapse and lose its value and divine radiance, leaving only its weight!"
"As for the half of Mount Buzhou on the ground, it can indeed be used as material, but once it is uprooted, the Great Desolation land will be shattered, and the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth will decrease by at least several hundred times; it is no different from killing the goose to get the golden egg and is not advisable!"
"Besides that, finding materials in heaven and earth that can compare to its strength is extremely difficult; what I have in my hands is not enough to refine even one Heavenly Pillar, let alone four!"
"This..."
Hearing this, the Saints and Great Supernatural Beings present all fell silent.
They had thought they had found a way out, but they had not expected it to turn out like this.
Materials for refining Heavenly Pillars.
This stuff was truly hard to find, and basically impossible to locate.
After all, if things with the hardness of Mount Buzhou existed, they would have long since been snatched up by people scrambling for them; but since nothing similar had ever appeared, everyone was in the dark.
"Demon Emperor, Ancestral Witch, this matter is of vital importance to you; is there no similar material within your two clans?"
Just at this moment, a sharp voice rang out, pointing the finger directly at the Demon Race and the Wu Clan.
And although his words were harsh, many Great Supernatural Beings nodded in approval.
It was not for anything else, but because they truly could not produce anything similar; however, as the hegemons of the Great Desolation, the foundations of the Wu and Demon clans were not to be underestimated, and they should be able to produce something.
"Hmph, my Wu Clan has never disdained those things you cultivators need!"
Dijiang snorted coldly and said unhappily.
Although they did indeed have things comparable to the hardness of Mount Buzhou, that was the foundation of the Wu Clan, and he would not be foolish enough to take it out.
After hearing Dijiang's words, the Great Supernatural Beings present did not doubt him; instead, they gathered their gazes on where Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the others were.
After all, the Wu Clan had no Primordial Spirit and did not usually collect any heavenly treasures; at most, they collected some innate spiritual roots that were fruit-like, and as for other spirit stones and the like, it had truly never been heard that the Wu Clan would spare no cost for them.
"My Demon Race does indeed have many treasures!"
Facing their gazes, Di Jun's face turned dark; after all, this matter was an unprovoked disaster for the Demon Race, and they had even suffered heavy losses because of it.
But as mentioned before, if they could not repair the hole in the firmament as soon as possible, the collapse of the Thirty-Three Heavens would continue to increase, and by then, the one suffering the greatest loss would still be the Demon Race.
Thinking of this, Di Jun immediately spoke: "However, although the materials in my Demon Race's treasury are not bad, they are at most strong enough to refine some superior Post-Heaven Spirit Treasures; wanting to reach the level of Supreme Treasures is basically impossible."
"However, among my collection, there are some Sun Gold Crystals; the hardness of this object is quite good, and it should be able to serve as an auxiliary material, but it cannot serve as a main material!"
As he spoke, Di Jun waved his large hand, and a small mountain of golden crystals flew out, landing directly on the ground not far away, splashing up countless waves of heavenly water, the treasure light so full it made one's eyes ache.
"It is indeed not bad stuff!"
After scrutinizing it for a few glances, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke: "However, as the Demon Emperor said, this object can only serve as an auxiliary material and is difficult to use as a main material!"
"Sigh~"
Hearing this, countless people present sighed.
Even the Demon Race had brought out their most precious materials, yet they still could not satisfy the requirements for refining the Heavenly Pillars; this was not good news.
Including Laozi, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Nuwa, all could not help but frown.
After all, the problem of materials for the Heavenly Pillars was indeed difficult to handle, and they currently did not know what to do.
"Still not appearing?"
"Do I need to continue spoiling the plot?"
Behind Tongtian Jiaozhu, Lin Fan's gaze looked toward the firmament from time to time.
Hongjun Daozu had been slow to appear, which made him feel a bit anxious.
But Lin Fan was somewhat hesitant at this moment.
It was true that the four limbs of the Xuangui were the best materials, but this thing was also a massive cause and effect.
In the original story, after the Xuangui died, its body remained immortal, directly evolving into a forbidden zone at the end of the North Sea, and even it itself was reincarnated and joined the Jie Sect, possessing great merit that no one dared to touch.
This also meant that if he spoiled the plot, he would inevitably form a cause and effect with it, and once this guy was reincarnated, the two sides would be locked in a life-and-death struggle.
"Buzz buzz~"
Just at this moment, a loud buzzing sound rang out in the firmament.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could clearly see a figure rapidly approaching from the distant firmament.
Before long, the figure of a Daoist boy appeared in the firmament, arrived where the four Saints were, bowed, and said: "Greetings to the three Senior Brothers, and Senior Sister Nuwa!"
"Who is this person?"
"The Dao Ancestor's Daoist boy!"
"Why has he come?"
"Does the Dao Ancestor have some order?"
"..."
Seeing the person who arrived, the Great Supernatural Beings present looked at each other, their minds filled with doubt and confusion.
Similarly, they also felt some anticipation in their hearts.
If Hongjun Daozu had sent him, did that mean there was a way to solve it?
After all, this matter was something that even the Saints were worried about, but Hongjun Daozu was an existence above the Saints; perhaps he had a way to solve it?
"Haotian, have you come because Teacher has some instructions?"
Frowning, Laozi asked.
At this moment, he was also thinking about whether Hongjun Daozu had any instructions, or perhaps a solution.
"Yes, Senior Brother Laozi!"
Nodding, Haotian did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly said: "The Dao Ancestor asked me to come and pass on a few words."
"Mount Buzhou has collapsed and cannot be repaired, but we can refine Heavenly Pillars to support the Great Desolation!"
"Within the Great Desolation, materials capable of supporting the heavens do not exist; within Chaos, there are Chaos Stones that can serve as the main material core, and you Senior Brothers need to go and extract them yourselves!"
"But the main material alone is not enough; the Heavenly Pillars also need a powerful carrier. At the end of the North Sea, there is a Xuangui at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, whose body strength has reached the level of the bodies of the ancient Chaos Demon Gods."
"As long as you can take its four limbs and refine them with the Chaos Stones, you can successfully refine Heavenly Pillars to support the Great Desolation, thereby resolving the crisis within the Great Desolation!"
Hearing this, everyone present had their eyes light up.
Sure enough, the Dao Ancestor is the Dao Ancestor.
In a few words, he solved the problem that had been troubling them all.
Now they only needed to deal with the Xuangui, seize its four limbs, and find the Chaos Stones from within Chaos, and the problem would truly be resolved.
Thinking of this, the Great Supernatural Beings present all looked at Laozi and the others with glowing spirits.
After all, whether it was killing the Xuangui or finding the Chaos Stones, those were not things they could achieve.
However, before the Three Pure Ones could speak, a hurried shout suddenly rang out: "Fellow Daoists, the two of us will head to the North Sea now to fetch the artifact refining materials."
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see that Jieyin and Zhunti had already transferred the living beings in the Mount Buzhou area to a safe zone, and at this moment, they had turned into streams of light and were heading straight for the northern land. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
