Chapter 198: Tian Yuan Dispatches the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas

Standing on the sacred mountain, Tian Yuan had a look of excitement in his eyes.

He had just carefully checked, and now he was only missing over three hundred Laws to reach the full count of three thousand.

The manifestation of the three thousand Laws in his Consciousness Space meant that the Dao of Mount Buzhou had already begun to take shape.

The remaining three hundred-plus Laws were not only rare but exceptionally powerful, and in all likelihood, they were all held by the several Heavenly Dao Saints.

"I wonder if those fellows have returned yet?" As he spoke, Tian Yuan looked toward the distant Kunlun Mountain.

The one in Purple Heaven Palace had made no move; after capturing Baize and the others from the Demon Court, he had the idea of testing the several Heavenly Dao Saints.

Who would have thought that the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages were actually not in the Primordial World.

Tian Yuan understood without needing to think that these Heavenly Dao Saints must have been frightened by his act of defeating Minghe and had gone to Purple Heaven Palace to seek Hongjun.

Tian Yuan was not in a hurry regarding the matter of the three thousand Laws; after all, a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal was different from the past.

It had been some time since he broke through, but none of the stone figures manifested from the Laws in his Consciousness Space had yet proven the Dao to Hunyuan.

Mount Buzhou was indeed extraordinary, but its primary duty was still to bring blessings to this world.

Condensing an additional complete Law was not as easy as he had imagined.

However, in the Primordial World, the one thing that was not lacking was time.

As long as he was given enough time, those manifested Laws would eventually all be able to prove the Dao to Hunyuan and achieve the status of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

All along, Tian Yuan had been very clear that this body of Mount Buzhou was his greatest reliance.

Withdrawing his gaze, Tian Yuan looked toward the Western Land.

The Eastern Earth Veins were completely purified, and the north and south had also begun to be restored, but only this Western Land remained.

Looking at the pitch-black void that seemed to have severed the world like a natural chasm, Tian Yuan felt a wave of distress.

Even the Northern Land, which had nothing at the very beginning, at least had Malevolent Qi that could be cleared.

But in this Western World, let alone Earth Veins, one could not even see the ground; it could be said that there was absolutely no way to start.

The deep void, bottomless at a glance, was like a heavenly abyss that had directly severed the Western World from the heavens and earth.

With a grim face, Tian Yuan rose into the air and flew toward the west of Mount Buzhou.

Now that he had broken into the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the time was about right, so he would just go and explore this Western World to prepare for the Western Earth Veins.

Descending from Mount Buzhou, it was as if he had escaped into a shattered void, with nothingness in every direction.

After flying for a while, Tian Yuan still did not see any land, and he could not help but mutter softly: "Strange, even with my will, it is difficult to weave together any earth."

When he left Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan had tried to reach out to the Western World with the will of Mount Buzhou.

Who would have thought that the will that surged over would all dissipate in the air, having no effect at all.

No matter in what form the Earth Veins manifested, they at least needed something to support them.

If this west did not even have land, it was a serious problem, whether for restoring the Earth Veins or for evolving into a world in the future.

With many thoughts turning in his mind, Tian Yuan accelerated and sped toward the west.

At his current speed, he should have long since reached Mount Sumeru in the west, but it was still a deep void.

The entire Western World truly did not have even a shadow of land.

Tian Yuan stopped in the air, looked around, and frowned deeply.

The Western Land, one-quarter of the Primordial World—did Luohou's self-detonation really shatter the Earth Veins so thoroughly? During the Beast Calamity, the north, as the birthplace of the Fierce Beasts, still had Ancestral Veins left behind.

One must know that these fellows, evolved from the remains of Chaos Gods and Demons, had the sole purpose of destroying the Primordial World opened by Pangu, and even suicidally rammed into Mount Buzhou.

A calamity that engulfed the heavens and earth had only ravaged the north.

Tian Yuan knew that Demon Ancestor Luohou was not simple, but this was a bit too exaggerated.

Before the Primordial World expanded, the Western Land was not small either, but with Luohou's Quasi-Saint cultivation, it would have been very difficult to achieve this level.

After discovering a series of events in the Primordial World, Tian Yuan guessed that Hongjun might have begun laying out his plans a long time ago.

Looking at the current situation, during the Demon-Dao Dispute, Luohou, Hongjun, and the others were likely already Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Only the self-detonation of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal could have shattered all the Earth Veins of the Western World.

Moreover, at that time, Luohou held the God-Slaying Spear and the Zhu Xian Sword Formation in his hands.

Whether it was the God-Slaying Spear or the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, both were Ferocious Evil Exotic Treasures of the Heavenly Dao.

Even if Luohou had an extraordinary background, with mere Quasi-Saint cultivation, it would be impossible to wield two such supreme treasures at the same time.

Combining this with the scene before him, Tian Yuan became more certain of his guess: Hongjun did not become a Saint after the Demon-Dao Dispute at all.

As for the specifics, perhaps only Yangmei, who fled to Chaos, would know.

After the Demon-Dao Dispute, this old friend of Hongjun fled directly to Chaos and never appeared again.

"Sigh! Perhaps I still need to ask Houtu about it." Withdrawing his gaze, Tian Yuan looked toward the direction of the Netherworld.

The mission of the Wu Clan was to comb and purify the Earth Veins of the Primordial World; Houtu might know some of the situation.

After carefully examining the surroundings again, Tian Yuan escaped back toward Mount Buzhou.

So much time had passed that there was little Malevolent Qi left in the north, and many of the one hundred and eight Earth Veins surrounding the Northern Ancestral Vein were already one-third the size of a Branch Vein.

The Northern Earth Veins only had the source of the Ancestral Vein left, and the numerous Branch Veins were purely expanded by the Dragon Clan; dredging each Branch Vein was incomparably difficult.

The Northern Ancestral Vein did not need to be opened, as there were only one hundred and eight Branch Veins, but the time required to fully restore them would definitely not be less than that of the east.

"Perhaps I can make a trip to the Dragon Clan!" Tian Yuan thought of the Four Seas Dragon Palace.

Although Zhulong led many of the Dragon Clan to suppress the north, he still left many clansmen in the seas, and there were quite a few Great Luo Golden Immortals among them.

This part of their strength could also be used to develop the Northern Earth Veins.

While thinking, Tian Yuan had already appeared on Mount Buzhou in the Primordial World.

"Master!" Yinglong, who was in quiet meditation, saw Tian Yuan appear and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

Scanning the other's realm, Tian Yuan nodded slightly: "The talent is not bad!"

It had only been ten thousand years since he left that great marsh, and Yinglong had actually stepped into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm; Tian Yuan was somewhat surprised.

"It is all thanks to Master's grace; otherwise, how could Yinglong have achieved such accomplishments!" Yinglong bowed slightly, his eyes filled with gratitude.

It was not only because of Tian Yuan imparting the Dao, but also the Karma on the Dragon Clan that was gradually diminishing.

Yinglong knew very well in his heart that everything was because of Tian Yuan.

If not for Tian Yuan's help, they would still be foolishly suppressing the Ancestral Vein in the north, unaware that the Dragon Clan was being schemed against by others.

"The Northern Earth Veins are progressing a bit slowly; let's make a trip to the East Sea!" Tian Yuan did not say much, instructing softly.

Yinglong was stunned for a moment, instantly grasping the meaning behind Tian Yuan's words, and his face was immediately filled with great joy.

The Dragon Clan had only been expanding the Northern Earth Veins for a short time, yet so much Karma had already been reduced; Yinglong had long harbored the idea of having the Dragon Clans of the Four Seas all head to the north.

Not only could it alleviate the pressure on his uncles and the clan elders, but it could also accelerate the reduction of the Karma on the Dragon Clan, and it could also assist Master in dredging the Northern Earth Veins.

Whether for Tian Yuan or for their Dragon Clan, it was a tremendous benefit. Now that Tian Yuan had brought it up himself, how could Yinglong not be happy?

"Yes! Master! Yinglong will immediately summon the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas at the East Sea!" With a joyful face, Yinglong nodded repeatedly.

Tian Yuan nodded slightly and took a step forward; a Great Dao of auspicious light appeared beneath his feet, carrying the two of them straight toward the East Sea.

Following behind, a faint dragon shadow appeared on Yinglong's body, and he vanished into the void with a 'whoosh'.

Tian Yuan was not in a hurry, leisurely gazing at the surrounding space as he slowly headed toward the East Sea.

Compared to the earlier times of capturing the Wu Clan everywhere, the Eastern Land was clearly much more abundant in spiritual energy and even more vast.

Yinglong followed respectfully behind, not daring to make a sound.

Some time ago, he had returned to the East Sea Dragon Palace once, and he had become even more aware of Tian Yuan's power.

At this moment, in the entire Primordial World, apart from that person in Purple Heaven Palace, he feared no one was Tian Yuan's match.

Yinglong felt very fortunate to be able to follow such a powerful existence.

It was not only his own blessing but also the blessing of the entire Dragon Clan.

Walking as if in a leisurely courtyard, it did not take long for Tian Yuan and the other to arrive at the East Sea.

From afar, they could see numerous figures standing on the sea surface; the four in the lead, with ten thousand behind them, were all waiting respectfully.

Seeing this, Yinglong walked forward with small steps to lead the way for Tian Yuan: "Master! Please!"

"Greetings, Yuan Ancestor!" The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas led the many clansmen, hurriedly stepping forward to pay their respects respectfully.

Tian Yuan preached in the Primordial World and imparted the Hunyuan Dao, so many called him 'Yuan Ancestor'; some from the Dragon Clan had once gone to listen to the Dao, so they naturally knew this.

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and the many Dragon Clan powerhouses lowered their heads, not daring to be presumptuous, yet many younger members of the Dragon Clan in the back secretly looked up.

They vaguely caught sight of a human figure, the other party surrounded by Dao Rhyme and shrouded in laws, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

After just one glance, they immediately lowered their heads one by one, not daring to move again.

Tian Yuan swept his gaze over the Dragon Clan before him and walked with long strides toward the sea; the strength of the Dragon Clan was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Just before him, there were many Great Luo Golden Immortals, and adding the remaining three Dragon Palaces, there would only be more.

The ones at the very front were not the timid and weak Dragon Kings of the Four Seas of later generations; they likewise possessed the cultivation of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

It was only because the Karma on the Dragon Clan was too heavy that their realms kept falling later on, turning them into those old dragons who feared everything.

Seeing Tian Yuan heading toward the Dragon Palace, the many Dragon clansmen hurriedly followed Yinglong's figure.

Although the Dragon Clan had retreated to the sea, there were still many forces in the various lakes of the Primordial World, and very few pieces of news on the Primordial World could escape them.

A long time ago, Tian Yuan's individual strength forced the Wu Clan to withdraw from the Primordial stage, and now he was even a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Back then, Di Jun alone suppressed the entire Dragon Clan, yet he was crushed by Tian Yuan with a casual flick.

As the former overlords of the Primordial World, the Dragon Clan knew very well the wonders of the gathering of Heaven and Earth Luck.

In the past, Luo Hou could only secretly scheme against the three clans, but Tian Yuan dealt with the Witch and Demon Clans so forcefully, yet in the end, he did not suffer the backlash of Heaven and Earth Luck.

Including Yinglong, many in the Dragon Clan knew very well in their hearts that Tian Yuan was no ordinary being.

Now that the Dragon Clan had latched onto such an existence, how could they not be excited and thrilled?

Moreover, Tian Yuan was not only powerful, but the matter in the north was also a great favor to their Dragon Clan; both in reason and sentiment, they should treat him with grand hospitality.

Upon receiving Yinglong's message, the East Sea Dragon King immediately set about preparing to welcome Tian Yuan's arrival.

The East Sea Dragon Palace had long been decorated, with red cloth everywhere and a festive atmosphere.

Looking at the many smiling faces welcoming him, Tian Yuan also felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

He had not been in the Primordial World for long, but apart from cultivation, most of his time had been spent capturing the Witch and Demon Clans; it was basically all fighting, and no one had ever welcomed him like this.

In the Primordial World, the strong are respected, and strength is everything.

Tian Yuan entered the East Sea, intending to send all the Dragon Clan north to develop the Northern Earth Veins, while at this moment, deep in Chaos, the tightly shut gates of Purple Heaven Palace slowly opened.

The Three Pure Ones, along with the Western Two Sages, stepped out.

Laozi, walking in the front, had a calm expression with no desires on his face, while Yuanshi Tianzun, following behind, was beaming with joy and looked quite excited.

Only Tongtian Jiaozhu, beside them, kept a straight face, looking very displeased.

His peripheral vision occasionally swept over Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, and upon seeing Yuanshi's expression, his face became even uglier.

The Western Two Sages who came out last were leisurely and appeared incredibly relaxed.

Just after leaving Purple Heaven Palace, Tongtian could not help but ask: "Big Brother, even if that Tian Yuan is an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, so what? At least he benefited the Primordial World."

The joyful Yuanshi Tianzun beside him was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"Third Brother, Outer Realm Heavenly Demons feed on the Chaos world; that Tian Yuan must be coveting the Primordial Heaven and Earth, which is why he deceived us. How can you be so stubborn?"

They were now convinced that Tian Yuan was an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, and that was enough.

An Outer Realm Heavenly Demon appearing in the Primordial Heaven and Earth must be here to devour this world; Tian Yuan was the common enemy of the entire Primordial World.

Yuanshi Tianzun truly did not understand why Tongtian believed in Tian Yuan so much.

Glancing at Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu said coldly: "Hmph! If that Tian Yuan is an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, then... what is he?"

Earlier, they did not know Hongjun's origin, but with their ascension to Sainthood and their Primordial Spirits entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, Tongtian had vaguely learned of Hongjun's roots.

A Chaos Demon God, a Chaos Demon God just like Father God Pangu.

To the Primordial World, Hongjun is likewise an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon.

"Tongtian!!!!" Yuanshi Tianzun, now fully understanding the meaning behind Tongtian's words, instantly flew into a rage.

Yuanshi Tianzun held the utmost respect for his master.

From this trip to Purple Heaven Palace, not only did they learn of Tian Yuan's origins, but their master also passed down the Cultivation Method for the future, leaving Yuanshi Tianzun very satisfied.

Hearing Tongtian slander their master now, he was naturally filled with great indignation.

With a roar, a sharp aura faintly erupted from his body, as if he were about to strike at Tongtian.

Sensing the fluctuations from Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian's expression stiffened, and his face darkened.

Although Tian Yuan's appearance was somewhat strange, Hongjun had clearly deceived them, yet Yuanshi Tianzun actually wanted to fight him over this matter.

It was true that they had often had disagreements in the past, but those were merely verbal disputes.

Looking at Yuanshi Tianzun, who was close at hand, Tongtian's facial muscles twitched repeatedly, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.

Yuanshi Tianzun's actions had completely exceeded his expectations.

Following far behind, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, a flicker of joy passing through the depths of their eyes.

Although they were all disciples of the Dao Ancestor, they were very happy to see the Three Pure Ones turn against each other.

Laozi paid no heed to Tongtian and Yuanshi at his side, his peripheral vision cast toward the space behind them.

The Purple Heaven Palace, which had been floating in the Chaos, had somehow slowly faded away, disappearing into the raging chaotic thunder without a trace left behind.
