Chapter 142: Triggering the Sun Star Will

Looking at Mount Buzhou, which was close at hand, Tian Yuan felt somewhat impatient in his heart.

The ten Little Golden Crows, although their strength was weak, possessed extraordinary innate talents.

Without the slightest pause in his movements, Tian Yuan plunged headlong into Mount Buzhou and vanished in an instant.

Having arrived at the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, Tian Yuan tossed the group of the Demon Race into the main vein at the very top and flashed down to the south of Mount Buzhou.

Although the Demon Saint Jiuying possessed the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint, he counted for nothing at all in this space.

Sending over a single stone man would be enough to bring him to heel; the Demon Race were not like those Ancestral Witches or Great Witches.

Standing at the foot of Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan looked at the Southern Land burning with raging flames and waved his large hand, causing the ten Little Golden Crows to tumble out one by one.

After maintaining the Golden Crow Formation for a period of time and seeing that there was no movement in the surroundings, the ten Little Golden Crows flew about in disorder, squawking loudly.

However, because their Dao cultivation differed greatly, they were completely useless aside from attacking wildly.

Unable to break through the space, and with no response from their father or uncle despite using secret techniques to contact them, they could only pace back and forth in that space in a panic.

Suddenly feeling the scorching flames, the ten Little Golden Crows all wore expressions of great joy, both thinking they had been taken back to the Sun Star by their father.

Yet, upon looking around, they were instantly stunned on the spot; the surroundings were not the Sun True Fire they were familiar with, nor were there stars filling the sky above their heads, but only a towering divine mountain shrouded in Mysterious Yellow Qi.

They knew of Mount Buzhou and had seen it from afar, but it was different from what was before them.

A panicked Little Golden Crow saw Tian Yuan in the distance and immediately exclaimed loudly, "There is a stone man over there, it must be his doing!"

Prompted by their brother, the remaining Golden Crows all discovered Tian Yuan.

Filled with rage, they instantly formed the Golden Crow Formation, and rolling Sun True Fire fell toward Tian Yuan.

Tian Yuan, standing in the field, did not move, but instead stared wide-eyed at the tops of the ten Little Golden Crows' heads.

Above them, thin red lines were rising, rapidly pouring toward the firmament above.

Those ten thin red lines were infinitesimal, yet they were still clearly seen by Tian Yuan amidst the bright red flames. More importantly, Tian Yuan sensed a faint will upon those ten thin lines.

"Whoosh! It is actually a will; this might be related to the Heavenly Dao Will."

Tian Yuan took a light breath, his gaze fixed tightly on the rising lines, his eyes full of anticipation.

Capturing the ten Little Golden Crows was, aside from a craving for the Sun True Fire they mastered, for the sake of clearing the flames on the Southern Land; he had not expected such an unexpected joy.

He had previously guessed that Di Jun and Taiyi were communicating with the Heavenly Dao Will, but he had not expected the ten Little Golden Crows to also have a reaction.

At this moment, in Tian Yuan's line of sight, there were only those constantly rising lines.

As for the ten irritable Little Golden Crows before him, Tian Yuan naturally did not take them to heart.

They were merely ten little fellows at the Golden Immortal stage; in his eyes, they were no different from toddlers, and as for the Golden Crow Formation they had formed, it was likewise just a display.

On the ten Little Golden Crows circling in a ring, mysterious formation patterns flickered, accompanied by raging flames that fell and submerged the burly-figured Tian Yuan, yet he did not move at all.

The lines rose rapidly, piercing through the fiery red firmament, and stabbed straight into the depths of the dark void.

Had Tian Yuan's Dao cultivation not been profound, he would not have been able to see those lines clearly.

Under Tian Yuan's surprised gaze, those many lines finally ceased their ascent, and thin light began to flicker in that part of the void.

Estimating the distance, a flash of brightness appeared in Tian Yuan's eyes, and he quickly fled toward the firmament.

In a few breaths' time, he had already arrived where the many lines converged, and a smile began to bloom on his face.

"I didn't expect such an unexpected harvest!" Tian Yuan murmured softly, feeling quite surprised in his heart.

The Sun Star; he felt the fluctuations of the Sun Star.

Because of the appearance of the ten Little Golden Crows, the will of the Sun Star had been communicated, and now that renowned Sun Star would also manifest in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

The lines rising from below remained as they were, but the gathered light before him had deepened slightly.

Free-roaming Wills darted through the air, and when they accidentally bumped into those thin lines and the light, they all emitted sizzling sounds and were purified on the spot.

This sudden scene made Tian Yuan's eyes brighten even more.

"The task of purifying these Free-roaming Wills is indeed on the Sun Star." Looking around, infinite anticipation rose in Tian Yuan's heart.

Although the might of Mount Buzhou had increased—first with the Innate Spiritual Root propping up a light screen, and later with the manifestation of Kunlun Mountain—the wills rampaging across the land had indeed decreased by much. Yet, above this endless firmament, there were still dense masses of Free-roaming Wills.

They whistled past, drilling back and forth in the void, and there was still no telling how many there were.

When the Sun Star manifests in the future, wherever its light shines, the Free-roaming Wills will all fade away.

And at that time, he would be able to completely purify this space.

Although he had initially mistaken it for the Heavenly Dao Will, the progress of events made him very happy as well.

Excited in his heart, Tian Yuan leaped down toward the raging flames below.

"Stone man! That stone man has appeared again!"

"Quick! Burn him to death!"

As soon as Tian Yuan appeared, he heard many exclamations explode.

The ten Golden Crows, who had been searching everywhere for Tian Yuan, hurriedly formed the array again, and Sun True Fire fell down.

Looking at those petite, cursing little fellows, Tian Yuan was in a very pleasant mood.

Now observing carefully again, he discovered that the thin lines of light rising from the heads of the ten Little Golden Crows were not exactly the same.

The light rising from the head of the Golden Immortal Perfection Dajinwu was much brighter than that of the weakest one.

The degree of communication with the Sun Star Will was related to their Dao cultivation.

The stronger the strength, the faster the Sun Star would manifest.

He had captured many of the Demon Race, but only now was there a reaction; the manifestation of the Sun Star must lie with these Three-legged Golden Crows.

"It seems I must capture Di Jun and Taiyi as soon as possible!" Touching his chin, Tian Yuan thought to himself. They could not only accelerate the manifestation of the Sun Star, but in all likelihood, they also had the Heavenly Dao Will gathered within them.

Although those rampaging wills in the void could no longer erode Mount Buzhou and the Earth Veins, they always gave Tian Yuan an uncomfortable feeling.

Once the Sun Star was completely manifested, he could sweep them all away.

"He... he is actually unharmed!"

"How is this possible? This is the Sun True Fire, and it was condensed by the Golden Crow Formation."

Gazing at Tian Yuan, who stood motionless and shrouded in raging flames, the ten Little Golden Crows all exclaimed aloud in shock.

Just moments ago, flames had also fallen from the Array, but Tian Yuan had suddenly vanished, and they had not managed to see it clearly; now, however, they saw it with perfect clarity.

The flames poured down by Gungun were all attached to the surface of the stone figure, continuing to burn incessantly.

Yet that mysterious yellow stone figure just stood there, ignoring the flames on its body, merely staring at them with a burning gaze.

"This stone figure's strength is too great, brothers, run!" Dajinwu sensed the abnormality of the stone figure and shouted a warning.

Hearing this, the ten Little Golden Crows did not hesitate in the slightest and flew together toward the firmament.

Although the surrounding environment looked somewhat strange, flying toward the firmament was always the right choice; they would surely see the Sun Star eventually.

Yet, just as the ten Little Golden Crows spread their wings to fly, a powerful aura descended, pressing them all to the ground, and they immediately began to squawk incessantly.

"Our Father Emperor is the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court; who are you to dare harm us?"

"Father Emperor, save me!"

"Quack, quack! My uncle wields the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell; release us quickly, or you are dead for sure."

One by one, the Little Golden Crows began to roar at Tian Yuan, their wings flapping repeatedly.

But as they were only at the Golden Immortal realm, it was entirely in vain.

Meeting those clear yet angry large eyes, Tian Yuan looked behind him, where a figure was rushing over rapidly.

"Father Mountain!"

Huluwa greeted him and was immediately drawn to the ten Little Golden Crows amidst the flames.

"It's the Three-Legged Golden Crows!" he shouted, running forward quickly, his eyes filled with shock.

The Demon Court dominated the Primordial Starry Sky, and both Demon Emperors were Three-Legged Golden Crows; to have ten appear before him was unexpected.

Thinking of the Heavenly Marriage from long ago, Huluwa understood the origin of these Little Golden Crows.

"The flames of the Southern Land depend on these Golden Crows; you must supervise them well," Tian Yuan said softly while patting Huluwa's head.

No matter what, he was a Hunyuan Golden Immortal existence; there was no reason for him to bully a group of Little Golden Crows.

Even though these ten Little Golden Crows had tens of thousands of years of lifespan, their speech was full of childishness, making it most suitable to leave them to Huluwa to handle.

"Okay!"

Huluwa nodded repeatedly; he would never allow any mistakes in tasks entrusted by Father Mountain, let alone when it concerned the Earth Vein of the Southern Land.

Seeing that Tian Yuan was about to leave, Huluwa remembered something and hurriedly turned to ask: "Father Mountain, can I bring Gungun in?"

This was the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, which concerned Father Mountain's greatest secret. Although Gungun had now broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he still had to ask for Father Mountain's opinion.

Tian Yuan did not speak, merely sinking his mind slightly, and immediately, the wills before him converged, and a simple, honest figure slowly appeared.

The scorching air made Gungun exclaim in surprise, but upon seeing Tian Yuan, he immediately stepped forward respectfully to pay his respects: "Greetings, Master!"

Tian Yuan nodded and instantly vanished from the spot.

Scanning his surroundings with a glance, Gungun rolled his eyes and already knew where he had arrived.

A long, long time ago, Master would often mysteriously disappear on Mount Buzhou. Later, the Little Master and Master Houtu would also frequently go missing; clearly, it was this space, and now he had actually come here too.

With a joyful expression, he assumed his human form, ran forward, and shouted to Huluwa: "Thank you, Little Master!"

Ever since Huluwa appeared, he had not seen Tian Yuan for a long time.

Being able to come here was naturally the merit of the Little Master before him.

"You must assist me well in completing the task entrusted by Father Mountain, and there will be benefits for you!" Huluwa nodded and turned his gaze toward the ten Little Golden Crows.

"Quack, quack!"

Seeing Tian Yuan leave so readily, leaving only two children, Dajinwu let out two cries and pounced toward Huluwa.

The remaining Little Golden Crows hesitated only slightly before swarming forward as well, all spitting flames from their mouths.

They could sense that the two children were not simple, but they were Three-Legged Golden Crows, existences who wielded the Sun True Fire; how could they be afraid?

Huluwa curled his lips, patted the Treasure Gourd at his waist, and it flew into the sky with a swoosh.

Immediately, from the mouth of the gourd, surging Innate Kuishui Divine Thunder poured out, falling toward those Three-Legged Golden Crows.

Thunder filled the air, and suddenly black feathers flew everywhere, accompanied by painful squawks.

Huluwa had perfectly inherited Tian Yuan's style of doing things: if you want the other party to be obedient, beat them up thoroughly first.

Gungun, standing on the side, stared with wide eyes at what was before him.

Although he had stayed on Mount Buzhou all these years, he still knew a thing or two about the powers of the Primordial world.

He naturally recognized the divine birds before him: the world-renowned Three-Legged Golden Crows.

"Master is truly becoming more and more powerful!" Gungun thought to himself, a sense of pride rising spontaneously in his heart.

He felt that his decision to follow Tian Yuan earlier was extremely wise.
