Chapter 105: The Lost Ancestral Witches

Houtu turned around and looked at Tian Yuan to the side: "Brother Tian Yuan, I must rely heavily on you regarding the matters of my several brothers."

Although she was angry and annoyed at the stubbornness of her brothers, Houtu still cared deeply about their safety.

It was not just those ten Ancestral Witches, but also the vast number of their clansmen.

Father God's heart was currently suspended at the peak of Mount Buzhou; every member of the Wu Clan who fell was one less.

Tian Yuan nodded and said softly: "We must dredge and purify the Earth Veins as much as possible to enhance the might of Mount Buzhou, only then can we end the Great Calamity as soon as possible."

Although he already considered Houtu one of his own, Tian Yuan still had no intention of telling her about his Mount Buzhou avatar.

This was his greatest secret, and he could not tell anyone in the future either.

In the entire Primordial World, only Huluwa vaguely knew a little, but Tian Yuan had already given him stern instructions.

He spoke somewhat vaguely, but given Houtu's current situation, she should understand the meaning behind Tian Yuan's words.

As the Lord of the Earthly Dao, she was very clear about the state of the Earth Veins in the Primordial World.

"Rest assured, Brother. Leave the matter of the Earth Veins to me; I will certainly urge the clansmen to dredge and purify all the Earth Veins as quickly as possible," Houtu responded solemnly with a bow.

Dredging the Earth Veins was the mission of the Wu Clan to begin with; it benefited the Primordial World and could also improve their own strength, so why not do it?

For the sake of her brothers who remained stubborn, she also had to properly spur these members of the Wu Clan on.

As for the relationship between Tian Yuan and Mount Buzhou, she had guessed some of it, but Houtu did not ask.

Tian Yuan naturally trusted Houtu's guarantee very much. Immediately after a brief exchange, Tian Yuan exited the Consciousness Space.

The Earth Veins needed to be dredged, and the cultivation of laws could not be neglected either.

Before Mount Buzhou could move completely, his own combat power was the priority.

In a familiar position, Tian Yuan glanced at the Wu Clan tribe beneath him, wisps of white light emerging around his body.

In the surging Chaos, Earth Wind Water Fire erupted, and Chaotic lightning raged; even Great Luo Golden Immortals had to proceed with extreme caution.

And in the deepest part of that Chaos, a towering palace floated, emitting a mysterious aura as if it had existed since time immemorial.

It was precisely that Daoist dojo—Purple Heaven Palace!

In the endless gray Chaos, a cluster of rosy light streaked past and landed before the palace gates, revealing the figures of Di Jun, Taiyi, and others.

Scanning the Chaos behind them, the four did not hesitate and strode into the palace.

In the empty main hall, only three figures sat on the cushions at the very front; they were the Three Pure Ones.

Seeing that Nuwa and Fuxi had not yet arrived, the four—Di Jun and the others—stood to the side, closing their eyes to rest.

Outside the palace gates, figures arrived one after another; as the number of people continued to grow, the main hall still appeared incomparably vast.

Finally, the eyes of the meditating Di Jun and Taiyi opened; a figure slowly arrived from afar, and it was indeed Nuwa.

The two looked behind her and immediately frowned; Fuxi was nowhere to be seen.

Di Jun and Taiyi exchanged a look, their brows filled with suspicion.

Looking at Nuwa who sat straight down on a cushion, neither Demon Emperor spoke, but their expressions were very poor.

The third lecture at Purple Heaven Palace was the most important; besides the beheading of the Three Corpses, it also held the key to becoming a Saint. How could Fuxi be absent?

Regardless of Nuwa's choice, Fuxi was the Xi Emperor of the Demon Court; they had to inquire about this.

With a dark face, Di Jun's gaze swept toward the outside of Purple Heaven Palace.

Besides Fuxi, he was also waiting for another figure: Demon Master Kunpeng.

This fellow's speed was renowned throughout the Primordial World; there was no reason for him not to appear so late.

When the time limit was reached and the gates of Purple Heaven Palace were about to close, three figures were seen squeezing in in a panic; they were Jieyin, Zhunti, and that Demon Master Kunpeng.

"Phew! Luckily we made it!"

Zhunti let out a heavy breath and swept his eyes strangely toward the closed palace gates behind him.

"Junior Brother! Take your seat quickly!" Jieyin called out, having already sat on the fifth cushion.

Demon Master Kunpeng, having entered Purple Heaven Palace, stood at the palace entrance, seemingly deliberately avoiding Di Jun and Taiyi.

At this moment, outside Purple Heaven Palace, a figure rushed over from the Chaos in a panic; seeing the palace gates of Purple Heaven Palace tightly shut, they immediately cried out in pain and stamped their feet repeatedly.

On Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan, who was in quiet meditation, opened his eyes faintly; looking at the Heavenly Pillar above his head that was rumbling incessantly, his face was filled with a smile.

Ever since he had handed over the task of dredging the Earth Veins entirely to Houtu, the speed of dredging the Branch Veins had become much faster. In just a short thousand years, ten more Branch Veins had been purified.

Tian Yuan naturally knew Houtu's method: gathering many members of the Wu Clan at one Branch Vein to dredge and purify it one by one.

It was not that Tian Yuan had not thought of this method, but if there were any missed Strange Stones, it would still require a large number of the Wu Clan to search for them in the end, which would also drag down efficiency.

But Houtu was different; she seemed to be able to easily find the Strange Stones left behind in the Earth Veins, which must be the Ancestral Witch's extraordinary sensitivity to impure stones.

This discovery undoubtedly made Tian Yuan's decision even firmer.

From now on, all work regarding the Earth Veins should be left to Houtu to be responsible for.

"It seems it won't be long before all one hundred and eight Branch Veins are completely purified," Tian Yuan whispered softly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Once all the Branch Veins were dredged, he would surely break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Feeling the laws pouring in more and more surgingly from beneath him, Tian Yuan calmed his mind and focused on his meditation.

Inside the Pangu Temple beneath Mount Buzhou, the blood-evil was monstrous. Thick blood mist permeated the entire temple and even spread toward the valley.

Pairs of crimson eyes flashed, and violent auras surged.

The might continuously transmitted from the Heavenly Pillar made the Ancestral Witches even more irritable.

Every time the might of Mount Buzhou increased significantly, it meant that Tian Yuan's strength had been enhanced; how could this not make them anxious?

Xuanming's low voice sounded: "Big Brother! We cannot just sit here any longer!"

Tian Yuan had snatched away so many of the Wu Clan, and with Houtu's help, Father God's heart was missing from the Blood Pool; no matter how they cultivated, they could not compare to Tian Yuan.

If this dragged on any longer, they might really all be captured by Tian Yuan.

Seeing that Dijiang did not respond, Zhurong on the side also shouted in a deep voice: "Big Brother!"

Tian Yuan had taken so much from their Ancestral Witches; even if it meant crashing into Mount Buzhou and collapsing it, they could not let him succeed.

There was still no response from within the blood mist, and just as the few of them were feeling suspicious and uneasy, the void suddenly trembled slightly.

Before Xuanming and the others could investigate further, a powerful aura surged upward, accompanied by the emergence of dense Essence Blood.

Pure and refined, it gushed forth carrying violent power, filling the entire Pangu Temple and flowing toward the Blood Pool.

"Th-this, what kind of bloodline power is this?" Xuanming exclaimed, her eyes filled with shock.

This bloodline power was quite a bit inferior to Father God's, but it still belonged to a Chaos Demon God.

Zhurong and the others on the side were also gulping it down, secretly shocked in their hearts.

Dijiang's towering figure stepped out from the void. "This is the good fortune of our Wu Clan; the Wu Clan is the only Pangu Orthodox of the Primordial land!"

His indifferent words were accompanied by a ripple far exceeding that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Big Brother! You have broken through!"

"Big Brother! Have you stepped into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm?"

Exclamations rang out one after another; Xuanming and the others rushed forward, their eyes full of excitement.

They were Pangu Orthodox, and they practiced the Law of Dao of Father God; after Great Luo came the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Now, Big Brother had finally taken that step! The Wu Clan still had a future, and they still had a chance to take back everything that belonged to them.

Dijiang, whose entire body was stained blood-red, shouted excitedly: "Correct! All of you, seize the time to absorb it and break into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible; we will definitely make that stone man pay!"

Seeing the endless Essence Blood emerging from behind Dijiang, Zhurong and the others felt excited and hurriedly focused their minds to cultivate.

Strength, strength; only with powerful strength could they shatter that stone man on Mount Buzhou.

Xuanming gazed toward the space behind Dijiang, where one could vaguely see several massive, shattered bodies.

They lay horizontally in the void, all of them broken and dilapidated, yet without exception, they all radiated an ancient and vast aura.

When she looked more closely, those figures slowly faded away, leaving only the dense blood energy surging forth.

Xuanming only pondered for a moment before she became lost in the power rushing toward her.

Opening her mouth to swallow, the surging blood energy churned within her body, and the strength of her physical body began to skyrocket.
