Chapter 120: The Clearing of the First Main Vein
Tian Yuan returned to Mount Buzhou and began his cultivation of the laws.
Meanwhile, the Primordial World, whether it was the tribes of the Wu Clan or the Demon Court, was equally quiet.
Because the preaching at Purple Heaven Palace had ended, all the Innate Sacreds and ordinary living beings alike were practicing diligently.
Yet as time passed, many living beings felt a sense of oppression, and an inexplicable irritability grew in their hearts.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of years passed.
In the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, the main vein in the very center was bustling with activity.
Houtu gazed at the end that was now visible to the naked eye, her eyes filled with deep joy.
After hundreds of thousands of days and nights of purification, this central main vein was finally about to be completely cleared.
There were only three main veins in the entire Eastern Land; if one could be cleared, it would be a tremendous joy for Tian Yuan and for the Primordial World itself.
Houtu looked around and her voice, like Gungun, rang out: "Speed up, we must completely clear this main vein within a thousand years."
Although she could see the end at a glance, Houtu knew very well how difficult it was to clear an Earth Vein, especially this final stretch.
The many members of the Wu Clan all around responded loudly; although they had been annoyed by Tian Yuan's actions earlier, under Houtu's leadership over these years, that resistance had long since faded.
Even Gonggong in the distance looked forward with anticipation.
He had broken through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, and this hundreds of thousands of years of clearing work had also been of great benefit to him.
"After this main vein is completely cleared, I wonder what kind of harvest there will be." Kuafu looked into the distance, his eyes burning.
Beside him, the Great Witches such as Houyi and Xingtian also had faces full of anticipation.
Long ago, they had stepped into the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak, but they had been stuck at this realm ever since.
Previously, they had learned from many clansmen that the clearing of an entire Earth Vein would ultimately bring great fortune.
And the complete purification of the main vein before them would surely be the same.
Perhaps once the main vein was cleared, they would all be able to step into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
If they became Hunyuan Golden Immortals, they would catch up to the pace of the Ancestral Witches.
The Great Witches were like this, and the remaining ordinary Wu Clan members were even more so; everyone exerted all their strength to frantically clear the Earth Vein.
As the days passed, they grew closer and closer to the end of the main vein.
Finally, nine hundred years later, only a few Strange Stones remained blocking the very end of the entire main vein.
Houtu, having cleared the debris in front of her, dashed out first, and Gonggong, Kuafu, and the others who had pulled themselves away from their positions followed, rushing forward as well.
One by one, ordinary Wu Clan members were replaced, and amidst the booming sounds, only the largest Strange Stone remained, surrounded by the Ancestral Witches and Great Witches.
A strike from a Hunyuan Golden Immortal only caused the stone to tremble slightly, sending fragments flying.
Houtu, Gonggong, and the others had eager looks in their eyes, and the many Wu Clan members surrounding them were also in high spirits.
Amidst the dull thuds, accompanied by a heaven-shaking roar, the last Strange Stone in the main vein shattered with a bang.
Seeing the many small fragments scattering, Houyi and the others all took action, crushing them all in mid-air.
In the expectant gaze of the crowd, the last fragment was annihilated on the spot.
The many Wu Clan members, who had been staring intently at their surroundings, suddenly felt the main vein beneath them tremble violently, and immediately, the sound of ocean waves arose from the direction of Mount Buzhou.
At the same time, a buzzing sound came from the distant Mount Buzhou, and a majestic and vast aura swept out.
Through the flowing golden Innate Spiritual Qi, everyone saw the Mysterious Yellow Qi on the sacred mountain surge, and a visible yellow ripple swept toward the entire Eastern Land.
Countless shrill screams echoed in the firmament, then stopped abruptly.
The many wills wandering in the Eastern Land were directly wiped out on the spot, and the firmament was dyed a mysterious yellow.
As the ripples swept over, the sounds within the Earth Vein became more intense, and Houtu and the others saw a dazzling golden light in the distance arrive in an instant.
With a boom, it swept over the dense crowd of the Wu Clan, enveloping them all.
Standing in the field, Houtu only felt a surging law pouring into her body through her limbs and bones. Immediately, countless waves of breakthroughs rose up, and Houtu was no exception.
"Haha! I've broken through, I've broken through!"
"Roar, roar, roar! Hunyuan Golden Immortal, I have stepped into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm."
"This is amazing! This is amazing!"
"This... this is too exaggerated."
Cheers rose one after another, echoing in the Earth Vein.
Every member of the Wu Clan was cheering violently, their faces filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Within their field of vision, almost everyone had broken through a realm.
Houtu's beautiful face was full of joy; the breakthroughs of the many clansmen were merely the most superficial harvest.
The strengthening of the will of Mount Buzhou, along with the accelerated repair of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, those were the most important things.
With these changes, the Primordial World left behind by Father God would also become more powerful.
This was the mission of the Wu Clan; the Wu Clan should remain in this space and strive to benefit the Primordial World.
Thinking this in her heart, Houtu looked toward Gonggong not far away.
The other party had his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief. As far as the eye could see, every member of the Wu Clan was excited, cheering, and joyful.
Although he had long since accepted Houtu's decision in his heart, the scene before him still made Gonggong feel shocked.
There were over a hundred million clansmen in the Earth Vein, and just because of the clearing of one main vein, they had all broken through.
Such a grand spectacle was hard for even him, an Ancestral Witch, to process for a moment.
Seeing Houtu look over, Gonggong had a strange expression and said in a low voice: "Little sister, your brother was wrong before!"
Seeing Gonggong finally bow his head in person, Houtu smiled and walked forward: "It is not too late now, it is just that Big Brother and the others..."
She often asked Tian Yuan and Huluwa about the situation in the Primordial World.
Although the Witch and Demon Clans had ceased fighting, the Calamity Sha shrouding the world was becoming increasingly thick.
Hearing this, Gonggong looked toward the distant Mount Buzhou and said solemnly: "Rest assured, we will work together to capture them in the future."
Gonggong was very clear that this was the only way to save his many brothers.
Only by seeing the grand spectacle before them with their own eyes would his brothers understand their past mistakes.
"Mm!" Houtu nodded heavily.
The Wu Clan were the children of Father God, and they should be benefiting this world, not fighting and killing in the Primordial World.
"Roar! Lord Ancestral Witch, please grant me your guidance!" A rough voice interrupted their conversation.
Houtu turned her head to look and immediately shook her head slightly, but Gonggong at her side turned cold in the face.
It was Xingtian, holding his shield and axe, his eyes staring hotly at Gonggong, his whole body filled with fighting spirit.
Not far away, the Great Witches Kuafu and Houyi were also looking over excitedly, their faces eager to try.
The Wu Clan was warlike, and having just broken through, naturally everyone was thinking of venting a little.
A rumbling sound was already coming from ahead, and many members of the Wu Clan had started fighting directly within the Earth Vein.
In almost an instant, the entire Earth Vein was filled with the figures of those fighting.
"Good lad, it seems your skin is truly itching!" Gonggong was angered and strode toward Xingtian.
Although hundreds of thousands of years had passed, the feeling of being beaten up by the stone man earlier was still suppressed in his heart, and now was a good time to relieve it.
For the first time, Houtu did not urge everyone to go dredge another Earth Vein, and began to examine the Main Vein before her.
