Chapter 179: Please, Senior, Save Our Dragon Clan

In the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, Gonggong looked at the river flowing before him, his eyes filled with astonishment.

In the Northern Land, which was originally a stretch of scorched earth, the sound of splashing water suddenly arose.

He sprinted over and saw the scene before him at the foot of Mount Buzhou.

A river had appeared out of thin air, winding and twisting as it extended toward the north, and it was still slowly growing.

He was the Water Ancestral Witch, yet Gonggong had not discovered how the river had appeared.

What puzzled him most was that he sensed a very familiar aura within the river before him.

Earth Vein! It was the fluctuation of an Earth Vein! Thinking this, Gonggong could not help but glance at the Eastern Land.

The many Earth Veins in the Eastern Land, when viewed from afar, did indeed look like vast rivers, but they were not true rivers.

When the water from the river before him was scooped up, there was nothing unusual about it, but once it fell back into the river, it radiated the aura of an Earth Vein; it was truly quite strange.

Seeing Houtu appear in the distance, Gonggong hurriedly called for her to come forward. "Little sister, come quickly!"

Having received a report from the Wu Clan, Houtu, who had rushed over, descended from the sky.

She swept a glance over the river before her, and her expression immediately turned to great joy as she cheered aloud: "It is an Earth Vein! The Earth Vein of the North has finally revived!"

As the Lord of the Earthly Dao, Houtu naturally recognized at a glance that this was the Earth Vein of the North.

Hearing this, Gonggong's expression froze, his eyes filled with oddity.

He had harbored such a suspicion in his heart, but he had never dared to be certain; he had not expected it to really be true.

"Little sister, how can the Northern Earth Vein be like this?" After poking at the river water before him, Gonggong remained puzzled in his heart.

The Eastern Earth Veins had golden spiritual energy flowing through them and were shrouded in auspicious energy; one could tell at a glance they were extraordinary.

As for the river before them, if one did not look closely, one could not tell there was anything different about it at all.

"Earth Veins naturally take on ten thousand forms and postures; this North belongs to water, so it may be a water posture."

As she spoke, Houtu continued to ask: "How did this Earth Vein appear?"

In this short time, she had clearly sensed that the Earth Vein had grown slightly, but even after sensing it carefully, Houtu had not been able to see how this Earth Vein had manifested.

She was, after all, the Lord of the Earthly Dao, and she even had a faint will gathering upon her.

"I don't know. I also received a report from the clansmen a moment ago, and then I immediately summoned someone to notify you." Gonggong shook his head.

Hearing this, Houtu frowned and checked it carefully, but still found nothing.

Having stood up, she cast her gaze toward the surroundings.

For such a major event as the revival of the Northern Earth Vein, Tian Yuan had actually not appeared; it was somewhat strange.

Just as Houtu was about to investigate further, she saw a silver light flash in the sky, and a figure swept over rapidly; it was Houyi, a Great Witch from her tribe.

As soon as he approached, Houyi hurriedly said: "Ancestral Witch, a strange thing has appeared in the distance!"

When his gaze swept over the river beside them, a look of surprise could not help but flash across his face.

"Is it that rivers have appeared in other places as well?" Houtu asked impatiently.

"No, it is a spring eye, with gushing spring water, and it looks... it looks somewhat eerie." Houyi then recounted the things he had discovered one by one.

Hearing this, Houtu and Gonggong's eyes lit up instantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, they both fled toward the direction from which Houyi had come.

Houyi glanced at the river quietly flowing on the ground, and without lingering, he quickly followed.

As Houtu and the other passed through the air, they saw from afar that many figures had gathered there, each looking at the firmament in wonder.

Under the dim sky, a spring eye floated in the air out of thin air, with gushing spring water emerging from within.

"Ancestral Vein! The Ancestral Vein of the North!" Upon getting close, Houtu's beautiful face was full of joy.

After Houyi had spoken briefly, she had had this suspicion, but she had not expected it to truly be the case.

The Northern Earth Vein was clearly different from the East; once the Ancestral Vein emerged, it could naturally derive many Branch Veins.

Only when looking beneath the spring eye did Houtu's brows furrow slightly.

The water flowing from the Ancestral Vein spring eye did not have a specific direction, but instead scattered in all directions, slowly disappearing into the brown scorched earth.

Even though there was a river channel below that the Wu Clan had specifically opened, the water flowing into it still seeped into the soil and vanished without a trace.

It was not like the river they had just seen, which radiated the aura of an Earth Vein and was still slowly growing.

"Strange! Those branch veins are all growing, so why is the Ancestral Vein spring eye instead fading into the air?" Gonggong looked puzzled and waved his hand to capture a large mass of spring water.

The moment the water left the spring eye, it instantly lost the unique aura of the Earth Vein.

Houtu studied the spring eye carefully, but also found no reason for it. "The root cause may lie in the Primordial World!" A crisp female voice came, and suddenly a figure was seen descending from the sky; it was Nuwa, who had sensed something and rushed over.

"The Primordial World?" Gonggong exclaimed.

Houtu did not show much surprise on her face; since Tian Yuan had not appeared for a long time, she had guessed that he might not be in the Consciousness Space.

The manifestation of the Northern Earth Vein was very likely because a major event had occurred in the Primordial World.

As for why the Earth Vein had not manifested immediately, it was certainly because something was still missing.

Having figured out the key to this, Houtu turned to the many Wu clansmen around her and said: "You all have time to cultivate; do not gather here."

Houtu did not know what had happened in the Primordial World, but it was highly likely related to the Wu Clan clearing away the Malevolent Qi of the North.

Moreover, for the repair of the Northern Earth Vein, the Malevolent Qi would ultimately have to be cleared away completely.

The many Wu clansmen who had only gathered out of curiosity dared not doubt her and immediately scattered to cultivate on their own.

In the blink of an eye, only Nuwa and the few Ancestral Witches remained in the field.

Beneath the great marsh of the Northern Land.

Zhulong and the others looked at the stone man riding the waves with astonishment, their eyes filled with confusion.

The stone man's might was terrifying, and the Fierce Beast Hou's aura was overbearing, but neither seemed to have any intention of harming the Dragon Clan.

What did the word 'ignorant' in the other party's speech mean? Zhulong, feeling suspicious in his heart, stepped forward and hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Zhulong greets the senior! May I ask how to address you, senior?"

The years he had spent cultivating might have been far beyond those of Tian Yuan, but in the Primordial World, the strong were respected, and everything was determined by strength.

This stone man not only possesses profound Daoist cultivation, but can also command the Fierce Beast Hou; perhaps he is the new hegemon of the current Primordial world.

Glancing at the respectful Zhulong before him, Tian Yuan spoke indifferently: "Just call me Tian Yuan!"

Zhulong, younger brother of Zulong, is somewhat lacking in his Essence Refining Stage, being only at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Early-Stage.

"Greetings, Senior Tian Yuan!" Zhulong bowed respectfully once more, though his mind was spinning rapidly.

He filtered through his long memories, yet still had not the slightest impression.

In all likelihood, during the era of the struggle for hegemony among the three clans, the other party had perhaps not yet emerged.

In the distance, Yinglong hurried forward and also offered a respectful greeting: "Yinglong greets Senior Tian Yuan!"

The many remaining Dragon Clan members in the surroundings dared not linger, each rushing forward, though their peripheral vision unconsciously drifted toward the depths below.

Within that golden spring eye, they sensed a thick aura of the Fierce Beast.

Up until now, they still did not know what Tian Yuan's purpose was for this trip.

"I wonder if Senior could provide some guidance!" Zhulong, transformed into a red-haired elder, waited respectfully by Tian Yuan's side.

The Array had already been broken by Tian Yuan, and the other party's cultivation was so formidable; what else could they do?

Lowering his eyes slightly to look at Zhulong, Tian Yuan spoke softly: "This water flow is the Northern Ancestral Vein, yet it has been suppressed by you ignorant people, incurring great Karma!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhulong's entire body trembled, his eyes filled with shock.

His cultivation is not weak, and his knowledge is not low; it is only that the Dragon Clan slaughtered too much during the Great Calamity, resulting in Karma wrapping around their bodies and clouding their Primordial Spirit.

Now, receiving Tian Yuan's reminder, his mind became clear in an instant, and he faintly understood the reason behind it.

The many Dragon Clan members all around were also dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

As one of the Primordial Three Clans, the Dragon Clan naturally understands what an Earth Vein is.

If what they were suppressing was truly an Earth Vein, then their Dragon Clan—the many Dragon Clan members thought of this, looked at each other, and their expressions were all incomparably ugly.

They had come here originally to reduce the Karma borne by the Dragon Clan, never expecting to have done such a thing.

Having suppressed the Ancestral Vein of the entire North, the Karma shrouding the Dragon Clan would only become more terrifying.

"I hope Senior will save our Dragon Clan!" Zhulong performed a deep, formal bow.

Such a kindness would benefit the entire Dragon Clan.

If not for Tian Yuan's appearance, they would not have known how long they would have continued to suppress it.

Their actions, I fear, did not help their clansmen, but instead harmed the remaining Dragon Clan of the Primordial world.

Yinglong and the many other Dragon Clan members all bowed deeply toward Tian Yuan.

They are all Great Luo Golden Immortals; previously, they were simply blinded by Karma and did not understand the heavenly mandate.

Tian Yuan's one reminder, added to the golden spring eye before them, instantly made them sober up.
