Chapter 124: Joining Forces to Capture the Ancestral Witches
"Hunyuan Golden Immortal Mid-Stage, how is it that everyone is cultivating so quickly?" Looking at the imposing Fierce Beast Hou before him, Fuxi felt depressed.
A few hundred thousand years is not a long time, yet in the blink of an eye, everyone's cultivation realm has skyrocketed.
He is an Innate Sacred, and was formerly a Demon Emperor of the Demon Court; there is no need to even mention his background.
Now that the Ancestral Witches and Great Witches are advancing rapidly in cultivation, this strange beast from the East Sea, Fierce Beast Hou, has actually stepped into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Mid-Stage as well.
Gazing at the figures locked in a chaotic battle in the distance, Fuxi fell into deep thought.
Fuxi suddenly felt that as long as one was associated with Tian Yuan, it seemed everyone's cultivation would skyrocket.
The Ancestral Witches, the Great Witches, and even this captured strange beast all had cultivation speeds far exceeding his own.
As for the person involved, Tian Yuan, that goes without saying. The pressure he exerted was far above that of Houtu and Gonggong, which meant the other party might have already broken into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Late-Stage.
When they first met on Mount Buzhou, they were all at the Great Luo realm; now the gap is so vast.
Among this large group of figures, only Huluwa by his side was similar to him, but the aura faintly rising and falling from the other party clearly showed he was already on the verge of a breakthrough.
But Fuxi knew very well in his heart that when he first saw Huluwa, the other party had not even taken human form.
"Hoo!" Fuxi took a deep breath; it was because of Tian Yuan that they were cultivating so quickly.
Perhaps in this space, they had all found their missions, or their own Daos, one by one.
In a flash of thought, Fuxi thought of Nuwa, whom he had not seen for hundreds of thousands of years.
He did not know if his little sister had grasped her own Dao after such a long time.
Fuxi wanted to go out and take a look, but he was not sure if Tian Yuan would let him leave this place.
As many thoughts raced through Fuxi's mind, he suddenly saw a figure flash before his eyes, and Tian Yuan's form appeared.
"Dao Brother, how is it?" Houtu stepped forward quickly and asked in a soft voice.
Just now, she had suddenly felt an abnormality in the Earthly Dao Will, which was clearly Tian Yuan's doing.
Houtu was somewhat shocked that Tian Yuan could stir the Earthly Dao Will, but now she wanted to know more about what had happened below.
Hongjun had designs on the Primordial World, and the appearance of Zulong also gave her an ominous feeling.
"It's nothing! It was merely a phantom image outlined by the will." Tian Yuan shook his head, but did not elaborate on the situation within.
The Primordial World was originally opened by Pangu in Chaos, so it was reasonable for it to be eroded.
The will of Mount Buzhou was gradually strengthening; only by becoming more powerful could the Primordial World better resist Chaos.
The most intuitive manifestation of this was the Heaven and Earth Will, which is the Heaven Earth and Man Three Daos; they were the strongest power to resist Chaos.
"A phantom image?" Houtu was stunned, her expression somewhat surprised.
However, Houtu naturally would not doubt Tian Yuan's words.
Glancing at the foot of Mount Buzhou, Houtu continued: "Dao Brother, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and Great Witches like Xingtian all possess no weak strength; could we attempt to capture those brothers of mine?"
Working so hard to dredge the Earth Veins all these years was not only to benefit the Primordial World, but also to rescue Dijiang and the others.
With the dredging of a Main Vein, several Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Witches had emerged, and more importantly, Tian Yuan's strength had skyrocketed, so Houtu naturally thought of capturing the Ancestral Witches.
Capturing her brothers would not only allow them to escape the Great Calamity, but also accelerate the dredging of the Earth Veins.
Before Tian Yuan could reply, Fuxi at the side cupped his hands and responded loudly: "Fuxi is willing to lend a hand!"
He was just thinking about going out, and this was absolutely a great opportunity.
Houtu was stunned; she naturally knew what the other party was thinking, but still nodded in thanks: "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist."
She did not agree, nor did she refuse, but instead looked at Tian Yuan opposite her.
Whether Fuxi could go out was not something she could decide; it all depended on Tian Yuan's will.
Fuxi, standing nearby, also understood this, his eyes looking at Tian Yuan with burning intensity.
It was not just to see his little sister; the key was that being cooped up in this space for hundreds of thousands of years, facing the same environment every day, was truly somewhat dull.
Meeting the other party's gaze full of longing, a powerful aura surged out from Tian Yuan.
A roar sounded from afar; Fierce Beast Hou turned back and landed steadily behind Tian Yuan, making the earth tremble.
Swish, swish, swish—Gonggong, with a solemn expression, led the disheveled Kuafu and the others back.
They did not look at the Hou, but only looked at Tian Yuan with shock mixed with a little helplessness.
Having thoroughly dredged and purified a Main Vein, they had gained a rich harvest; how could Tian Yuan, who held the will of Mount Buzhou, not have gained anything?
That powerful aura just now meant the other party's cultivation realm was far above theirs. Scanning Gonggong and the others, Tian Yuan looked at Houtu: "Since it is a request from a Fellow Daoist, Tian Yuan will naturally give it his all."
Capturing the Ancestral Witches required top-tier combat power; those manifested stone men could not go out, so they could only rely on the people present.
Houtu understood the meaning behind Tian Yuan's words and stated her plan to Gonggong and the others.
So much time had passed, and the Ancestral Witches like Dijiang must have also seen their cultivation soar; having a few more people would naturally make it more certain.
"You have been here for quite some time, and you should know that this is the true home of the Wu Clan; are you willing to follow me out to rescue our clansmen?" As she spoke, Houtu's gaze swept over the few people before her.
Kuafu and the others, who had been feeling depressed, heard they could go out, and their eyes instantly lit up.
Hearing the purpose of going out, their eyes became even more fervent, their faces filled with eagerness.
Rescuing their clansmen was naturally a duty they could not shirk, and the key was that if they could capture the Ancestral Witches, it would be glorious; they were all eager to try.
Xingtian and the others, rubbing their hands, did not speak, but turned to look at the Ancestral Witch Gonggong at the side.
There were many Great Witches here, but not many had broken into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, and there were still ten Ancestral Witches outside; Gonggong's combat power could not be ignored.
Seeing everyone's gaze converge on him, Gonggong sighed softly in his heart: "Little sister, just give the order."
After choosing to dredge the Earth Veins, Gonggong had known this day would come.
Although meeting again might be a bit awkward, just as Houtu said, it was all for the entire Wu Clan.
"Good!" Houtu nodded, a smile she could not hide on her face.
When she first followed Tian Yuan alone, her brothers did not understand, and she had felt miserable in her heart.
Now that there was finally a brother who acknowledged her, Houtu was truly very happy.
She believed that it would not take long for those brothers to understand all of this.
"In that case! Very good! Then let us head out now!" Tian Yuan nodded slightly, a surge of joy in his heart.
To maintain the entire Primordial World, relying on his own strength alone was clearly somewhat weak.
With the Ancestral Witch receiving help from Hongjun, although Tian Yuan wanted them to improve their strength on the Primordial land, it would naturally be best if he could capture them all.
Having said this, Tian Yuan did not say more; a faint will immediately emerged, enveloping everyone present.
Fuxi, who had been waiting on the side and ignored by Tian Yuan, was instantly overjoyed; he had thought Tian Yuan would not let him out, but he had not expected to be brought along.
Yet, thinking of that overbearing pressure from just a moment ago, Fuxi understood in his heart that if Tian Yuan wanted to capture him, he would have nowhere to run.
Having stayed here for hundreds of thousands of years, Fuxi no longer had the heart to return to the Demon Court.
Now, he only wished to see his younger sister and, incidentally, find his own Dao.
Kuafu, Houyi, and the others in the area were all looking excited, their faces full of eagerness.
With a flash of the scene, everyone appeared on Mount Buzhou.
Upon manifesting their forms, everyone immediately looked toward the base of Mount Buzhou.
To the east of Pangu Temple, billowing Blood Fiend Qi dyed the sky, blotting out the sun and covering a vast area, emitting terrifying fluctuations.
"That is... how could it be like this?"
"Pangu Temple, is that the current Wu Clan tribe?"
"Such violent aura, how did the Wu Clan become like this?"
Kuafu and the others had been staying inside and were unaware of the changes in the Wu Clan.
Including Gonggong, the few of them all looked at that blood-colored mass in shock.
Dark red Malevolent Qi completely obscured that patch of heaven and earth, making it impossible to see anything.
Because of that Malevolent Qi, the surrounding vegetation was wrapped in an eerie blood-red color, and no living creature dared to approach.
"Hoo! This fluctuation... it is the aura of a Chaos Demon God!" Fuxi, standing to the side, took a deep breath, his face full of shock.
With the Pangu Heart suspended at the peak of Mount Buzhou, he had vaguely guessed the situation of the Wu Clan, but he had not expected it to reach such a state.
"Dao Brother! It all depends on you!" Houtu bowed to Tian Yuan, her expression solemn.
Gonggong, Fuxi, and the others were shocked, and Houtu was likewise very surprised in her heart.
Having absorbed the flesh and blood of those Chaos Demon Gods, Houtu did not know what would become of her elder brothers.
