Chapter 181: Tian Yuan is Mount Buzhou

Ethereal words drifted out calmly, accompanied by the surging release of Heavenly might.

Yinglong, who had been shocked by the terrifying power of Mount Buzhou, did not expect the vast Saintly might to descend upon him; he found that even his Primordial Spirit could not help but tremble.

He was, after all, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet merely the aura spilling out was enough to make his mind and spirit shake violently.

Shocked in his heart, Yinglong immediately looked up and saw a figure in the distance, shrouded in Dao Rhyme and surrounded by auspicious vapors, their face obscured.

Around the figure, Heavenly Flowers fell in profusion, Golden Lotuses rose and danced, and jade pendants and Manju flowers hung in the air, emitting light, tinkling sounds as they collided.

Merely by stepping out, such visions of Heaven and Earth followed.

What kind of person, having rendered such great service to Heaven and Earth, could command such a grand spectacle?

Looking at the blurred figure before him, waves of shock surged within Yinglong's heart.

He could clearly feel that the newcomer's cultivation was even above that of Tian Yuan.

What on earth had happened in the Primordial World to bring about so many powerful and terrifying existences?

Standing in the air, Yinglong had eyes only for that figure before him.

Huluwa and Gungun were greatly alarmed, a trace of panic flashing across their faces.

Beside them, the Fierce Beast Hou also emitted a series of low, rumbling growls.

Jieyin and Zhunti had made their Great Grand Vows and attained the status of Heavenly Dao Saint; although it was Merit Sanctification, they were still Saintly existences.

They had great confidence in Tian Yuan's strength, but at this moment, they could not help but feel worried.

The Peak Primordial Golden Immortal stage was only one realm away from a Saint, but that was a difference as vast as Heaven and Earth.

With a worried expression, Huluwa hurriedly looked toward Mount Buzhou in front; at this moment, perhaps only Nuwa could deal with Zhunti.

But Nuwa seemed to be inside the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space at the moment.

Compared to the worries of Huluwa and the others, Tian Yuan looked toward the direction of Mount Buzhou with a hint of amusement and said leisurely, "Since this is to settle karma, why use great magical power to lock down the space of Mount Buzhou?"

Having said this, Tian Yuan looked at Zhunti with a hint of mockery.

Tian Yuan's straightforward words made the skin on Zhunti's face, who was in the air, twitch slightly, and he felt a touch of embarrassment in his heart.

He had arrived at Mount Buzhou for some time and had only appeared after sensing that Nuwa's aura was absent.

Locking down the space around Mount Buzhou was, naturally, to prevent Nuwa from appearing.

As for whether it would succeed, Zhunti did not know, but he had to try at least.

Even though they were both Saints, Nuwa's prowess had truly exceeded the expectations of him and his fellow disciple.

Thinking of his earlier battle with Nuwa, Zhunti felt a surge of anger.

In the Chaos Sea, the two of them together were no match for Nuwa. Upon entering the Primordial World, they could only barely withstand her edge; the gap between them was quite large.

Zhunti smiled calmly and said faintly, "It has been a while, little friend, and you are still as confident as ever."

Smiling as he looked at Tian Yuan, Zhunti's peripheral vision swept over the few figures behind him.

A Supreme Innate Spiritual Root that had taken human form, the Crown Prince of the Dragon Clan, and that iron-eating beast—all were rare species of the Primordial World with extraordinary origins, but what Zhunti favored most was the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain before him.

He had just searched Mount Buzhou, and not to mention the Bitter Bamboo and those other Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots, even the slightly weaker Five-Leaf Needle Pine and Star Fruit Tree were nowhere to be found.

It was clear that Tian Yuan had moved all the Spiritual Roots on Mount Buzhou into the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

If he could convert Tian Yuan to the Western Sect, the Great Grand Vow he had made could be nearly half-completed in an instant.

Sitting on the entirety of Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan was absolutely the wealthiest person in the Primordial World.

Moreover, Zhunti was also very curious about that space.

After becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint, he had faintly sensed a power of will on Mount Buzhou, which must be that space.

Yet, when he tried to investigate, he was blocked by a thick, dense energy that even he found difficult to penetrate.

"Then let me see exactly what a Heavenly Dao Saint is like!" Tian Yuan had no interest in bickering with Zhunti.

When Jieyin and Zhunti became Saints, he had thought about having the chance to test the methods of a Saint.

After all, in the Primordial World right now, besides the Saints, who else could fight him? He wondered how his physical body, which could withstand an Innate Supreme Treasure, compared to that of a Saint. Having said this, Tian Yuan leaped up and threw a punch toward Zhunti.

"Arrogant!" Tian Yuan's action made Zhunti angry.

The Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain was indeed remarkable, having single-handedly interrupted the Witch-Demon Calamity, but he was now a Heavenly Dao Saint.

All below Saints are ants; this saying was not just empty talk.

With a stern shout, Zhunti did not move, and a massive Saintly might swept down, covering Tian Yuan.

In almost an instant, Hou and the others standing behind Tian Yuan fell toward the ground in a sorry state, their faces filled with horror.

"Is this Saintly might? It's actually this terrifying!" Hou could not help but exclaim.

That power rushing down was simply impossible to resist, as if one were facing the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth.

The trembling group looked up and saw Tian Yuan still charging wildly toward Zhunti.

"Father Mountain!" Huluwa exclaimed, his little face filled with anticipation.

A strange look flashed in Hou's eyes; he hadn't even had a chance to resist, yet Tian Yuan was able to charge forward.

Both were at the Peak Primordial Golden Immortal stage, yet the gap between them was so vast.

"Will! What an enviable fellow!" Seeing Tian Yuan rushing toward him, Zhunti felt a surge of annoyance.

Saintly might was, in essence, the great momentum of Heaven and Earth, the Heaven and Earth Will; the only thing that could resist it was will itself.

Tian Yuan not only resisted his pressure but was also able to charge straight at him; the will the other party possessed was not below his own.

What kind of relationship did this stone man have with Mount Buzhou?

Glancing at Mount Buzhou in the distance, Zhunti still could not understand it to this day.

Mount Buzhou was the Heavenly Pillar and could not take human form; as for creatures born from Mount Buzhou, there were quite a few in the Primordial World.

Huluwa, not far away, was one, but he was not as exaggerated as the stone man.

With many thoughts racing through his mind, Zhunti flicked his right hand through the void, and a great magical power wrapped toward his opponent.

"The Source Power of laws, accompanied by the momentum of Heaven and Earth; for ordinary creatures, this is indeed a dimensionality-reduction strike." Feeling the incoming attack, Tian Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Facing this scene, he was not the least bit surprised.

Previously, in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, he had chatted with Nuwa, so he already knew a thing or two about the methods of a Saint.

With a soft hum, Tian Yuan immediately saw a thick will emerge from beneath him, pouring into his entire body.

Mount Buzhou was no longer what it once was; now, as long as he stood in the northeast, he could have a continuous stream of will gather.

"Break!"

With an angry shout, a rolling white radiance emerged and exploded upon his fist.

The void trembled slightly, Tian Yuan flew backward, and the space did not shatter in the slightest.

"Haha, is this the strength of a Heavenly Dao Saint? It is nothing more than this!" Stopping in mid-air, Tian Yuan waved his arms, his eyes filled with excitement.

Compared to Nuwa, Zhunti was indeed much weaker.

Although this strike from Zhunti was incomparably powerful, it could not do anything to him.

The greatest strength of a Heavenly Dao Saint is the ability to borrow the momentum of Heaven and Earth.

How could ordinary living beings resist Heaven and Earth? Therefore, when facing a Saint, they had absolutely no power to resist.

But he was different; the Heavenly Pillar Mount Buzhou was his body, and he himself was a kind of Heaven and Earth momentum. If Zhunti wanted to suppress him with momentum, there was simply no such possibility. If this Zhunti were a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, he might find it difficult to resist, but the opponent was not.

"Hmm?" Zhunti's eyes were startled! Although that was just his casual strike, it was still the method of a Saint.

Between waving his hands and raising his arms, there was always the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Will, yet Tian Yuan seemed not to have been affected at all.

Can the will of Mount Buzhou resist the Heavenly Dao Will?

Watching Tian Yuan approach again, Zhunti grasped at the void and reached out to grab Tian Yuan.

At this moment, Zhunti suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated Tian Yuan after all.

The Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain was far more powerful than he had imagined.

"This little bit of skill won't take me down!" Seeing that Zhunti still had not used his full strength, Tian Yuan felt annoyed.

He was, after all, at the Peak Primordial Golden Immortal stage, and before Zhunti became a Saint, his realm was not even as high as his.

Having borrowed merit and a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi to achieve the status of a Heavenly Dao Saint, Tian Yuan looked down on the Western Two Sages from the bottom of his heart.

Now that Mount Buzhou was no longer what it once was and the Primordial World was even better than before, he could clearly have gone further.

Among the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, if not for Hongjun's secret assistance, how could Jieyin and Zhunti have achieved such status?

Tian Yuan flew up to meet him, colorful laws surging on his arms, clashing with Zhunti's hand that grew in the wind.

Above the Primordial firmament, Baize looked at the scene below, his face full of shock.

After Zhunti had forcibly broken into the Demon Court last time, the two Demon Emperors had gone into closed-door seclusion, and he, having settled all matters, also intended to go into seclusion to cultivate; who would have known he would suddenly sense the fluctuations of a Saint on Mount Buzhou.

He rushed over at the first opportunity, only to see the scene before him.

Baize had personally experienced the pressure of a Saint and had seen Zhunti's arrogance in the Demon Court; the two Demon Emperors dared not have any objections at all.

And now, the Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain could actually resist a Heavenly Dao Saint head-on.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Baize would not have believed it in his heart.

It was true that Tian Yuan was powerful, but how could it be this exaggerated?

Could it be that in the previous battle, Tian Yuan had still held back his strength? Baize was not sure, but at this very moment, he understood very clearly that Tian Yuan was definitely not someone the current Demon Court could contend with, unless the two Demon Emperors stepped into that realm.

He did not continue to watch, but instead fled back to the Demon Court.

If the two Demon Emperors did not prove the Dao to Hunyuan, the Demon Court would not enter the Primordial World, and he also had to seize the time to cultivate.

Zhunti, who stood proudly in the air without moving, looked at the hand that had been torn open by Tian Yuan, his face becoming incomparably solemn.

Tian Yuan wanted to test his methods, and he was likewise testing Tian Yuan's trump cards.

Just from the attack earlier, Zhunti clearly felt that Tian Yuan was different.

"Tian Yuan! What exactly is your relationship with Mount Buzhou?" Zhunti strode out and personally reached out to grab Tian Yuan.

There was no confrontation of Heaven and Earth Will at all; Tian Yuan completely ignored the Heavenly Dao power he had mobilized.

Only by being a fellow Heavenly Dao Saint could one possibly ignore his Heavenly Dao Will; Tian Yuan had not become a Saint, so how did he do it?

The only point of contention was naturally Mount Buzhou.

A thought flashed through Zhunti's mind inexplicably, but upon thinking about it, he felt it was impossible.

Mount Buzhou was the Heavenly Pillar, bearing the responsibility of supporting Heaven and Earth and dredging the Innate Spiritual Qi for the Primordial World.

Mount Buzhou was so massive that it was inherently difficult to take human form, and more importantly, it was constrained by Heaven and Earth, which could be said to be difficult upon difficulty.

That kind of massive karma completely cut off the possibility of the other party taking human form.

But to be able to ignore his Heavenly Dao power, perhaps only the Heaven and Earth momentum that was Mount Buzhou itself could do so.

This could also explain why Mount Buzhou had abandoned the Wu Clan and chosen Tian Yuan, and it also explained why Tian Yuan could mobilize the will of Mount Buzhou.

And there was the way the Innate Gourd Vine addressed Tian Yuan; perhaps that was the most direct meaning.

Earlier, they had only instinctively felt that Mount Buzhou could not take human form, but now that he thought about it carefully, everything made sense.

The Mount Buzhou before him was very likely just Tian Yuan's discarded shell.

The Heavenly Pillar Mount Buzhou had truly already taken human form, and it was the Stone Man before him.

That was why the other party had risen so strongly in the Primordial World, exceeding everyone's expectations, and now was even facing him, a Heavenly Dao Saint, directly.

"Hoo!"

Zhunti took a deep breath, having already confirmed the guess in his heart.

Tian Yuan is Mount Buzhou!!! Such an origin was no worse than the Three Pure Ones, and more importantly, the other party also held the Heavenly Pillar.

Watching Zhunti, whose expression was changing repeatedly, Tian Yuan did not know what the other party was thinking.

Even if he had guessed his origin, Tian Yuan did not have much surprise.

With more and more methods being exposed, and since Zhunti was also a Heavenly Dao Saint, he would eventually discover the strange parts.

When his strength was weak earlier, he was very worried about his background being known.

Now at the Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, and with Mount Buzhou's might greatly increased, even if he were considered the incarnation of Mount Buzhou, no one could do anything to him.

Tian Yuan merely smiled, his figure rushing wildly toward Zhunti; he wanted to truly experience the power of a Saint.

Yet, a flash of rosy light appeared before his eyes, and Zhunti's figure was already gone from the front. A figure strode out from the right, reaching out to rest a hand on Tian Yuan's shoulder.

To have one's Primordial Spirit entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, allowing one to go anywhere in the Primordial World—it is truly enviable.

Gungun laws surged forth, and Tian Yuan flipped his hand to grab them, but who would have known that with just a shake of his right hand, Zhunti would scatter all the laws surging from Tian Yuan's body, sending him flying away in a sorry state.

Before Tian Yuan could steady himself in the air, Zhunti appeared before him once more, reaching out to grab him again.

The speed was too fast; Tian Yuan could not keep up with Zhunti's speed at all.

Compared to a Heavenly Dao Saint, he still had a significant gap.

Feeling depressed, Tian Yuan shouted toward the distant Mount Buzhou: "Fellow Daoist! I'm counting on you!"

As soon as the words fell, a streak of red light suddenly appeared in the distance, and Tian Yuan heard a scream from the side.

It was Zhunti, who had revealed his figure, tumbling away in a sorry state.

In the distance, Nuwa strode out, rushing toward Zhunti with rolling red clouds.

"Nuwa!" Zhunti gritted his teeth, his figure flashing and disappearing above Mount Buzhou.

In the Primordial World, he had the assistance of the Heavenly Dao, but he was still no match for Nuwa; staying would only result in him suffering losses.

Although he did not capture Tian Yuan, he had gained something by discerning the other party's origins.

"This guy runs really fast!" Tian Yuan steadied his figure, but there was no longer any sign of Zhunti.

Zhunti had attempted to seal the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space with great magic power, but that was simply impossible.

Mount Buzhou is closely connected to the Primordial World; how could it be sealed by mere magic power?

The moment Zhunti appeared, Tian Yuan had already communicated with Nuwa.

After all, the Western Two Sages have always been shameless; if Jieyin were secretly hiding nearby, he would certainly be no match for them.

Since there was no need to fight, he could only summon Nuwa.

However, through this brief exchange, Tian Yuan had also roughly understood the gap between him and a so-called Heavenly Dao Saint.

Having one's Primordial Spirit entrusted to the Heavenly Dao is the most formidable aspect of a Heavenly Dao Saint.
