Chapter 204: The Buzhou Mountain Thoroughly Revives

Gonggong, who appeared on Mount Buzhou, fled at once toward the valley where the Pangu Temple had once stood.

A long time ago, he had heard Houtu say that Xuanming had remained at the site of the old temple.

Tens of thousands of years had passed; the valley was now overgrown with towering trees and had long since lost its former appearance, though some remnants of stone pillars were vaguely visible.

Looking at the former holy land of the Wu Clan turned into such a state, Gonggong felt a touch of emotion in his heart.

"Alas! I do not know why Big Brother would act this way." Sighing, Gonggong thought of Dijiang, the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

This was the holy land of the Wu Clan; even if Tian Yuan had taken away the heart of the Father God, the altar was still sacred and inviolable, yet it had collapsed because of Dijiang.

The Wu Clan had all retreated into the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, the fortune shrouded by the Demon Court had scattered across the Primordial World, and the Tribulation Qi between heaven and earth was gradually fading; logically, Dijiang should have become calm.

But ever since the Demon Court attacked Mount Buzhou last time, he had not seen Dijiang again, and there was no news of him in the Primordial World.

And Xuanming, whose strength among the Twelve Ancestral Witches was second only to Dijiang, had also disappeared without a trace.

After searching the valley, Gonggong found nothing; neither Dijiang nor Xuanming had returned.

A flash of disappointment crossed Gonggong's eyes as he began to calm his mind and sense the locations of the two.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were all formed from the Essence Blood of Pangu, so there was naturally a blood resonance between them.

After only a moment, Gonggong opened his eyes, his face filled with disappointment.

Now that he was also at the Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal, he could sense Zhu Jiuyin and the others on Mount Buzhou, but he could not sense Dijiang or Xuanming.

Frowning, Gonggong had no choice but to flee toward the Western World.

Since the Demon Qi was born in the Western Region, Xuanming must be to the west of Mount Buzhou.

Gonggong headed to the Western Region to search for Xuanming, and Nuwa, who had appeared on Mount Buzhou, also headed toward the Western Land without the slightest hesitation.

Gonggong still restrained his aura and acted with caution, but Nuwa had no such scruples.

The powerful fluctuations rolling in were immediately detected by Jieyin and Zhunti on Mount Sumeru.

After fleeing back to the Western World in a sorry state from the Demon Court, Zhunti, like his senior brother, had been cultivating bitterly on Mount Sumeru.

Seeing Nuwa approaching with what seemed to be an aggressive momentum, Zhunti's heart shrank slightly.

"Senior Brother, why has this Nuwa come to our Western Region?" What he worried about was naturally not Nuwa, but Tian Yuan behind her.

Ever since they discovered that Minghe had disappeared, they had been paying attention to the movements in the Primordial World, but they still saw no news of Minghe.

The unknown was the most terrifying thing, and even as Heavenly Dao Saints, they were no exception.

"Rest assured, as long as we brothers work together, self-preservation will not be a problem." They were Heavenly Dao Saints, their Primordial Spirits entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, so it was impossible for them to perish.

Regarding the vanished Minghe, they speculated that he had most likely been suppressed by Tian Yuan, perhaps right under Mount Buzhou.

In the entire Primordial World, only Mount Buzhou could suppress a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Zhunti nodded and did not speak again.

He had originally thought that the Three Pure Ones would come into conflict with Tian Yuan, but unfortunately, so much time had passed, and the two sides had remained at peace.

As a result, they still did not have a relatively concrete understanding of Tian Yuan's strength.

After only a moment, Zhunti felt relieved.

Nuwa did not head straight for Mount Sumeru, but was searching for something in the Western Land.

Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

The Western Region was barren, as everyone knew, and it had long since been plowed three feet deep by them.

Even if there were truly treasures, they would have already entered their pockets; what else could Nuwa find? The two did not speak again, but while practicing, they kept a wisp of Divine Sense on the Western Land.

If any good treasure really appeared, it certainly could not be taken away by Nuwa.

As her Divine Sense swept back and forth across the land beneath her, Nuwa frowned slightly.

This area was precisely where the Demon Qi was constantly escaping from in the Consciousness Space.

Yet her Divine Sense had swept back and forth several times, but she had found nothing.

Now she was, after all, a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal and also held the Humanity Will.

In the Primordial heaven and earth, that Demon Qi related to Xuanming could actually evade her perception. Thinking of the strangeness in the Consciousness Space, Nuwa felt more and more that there was a major problem with Xuanming.

"Phew! It seems that what Brother Tian Yuan said is not false at all; the Hunyuan Dao is merely a starting point." Nuwa took a deep breath; the Primordial World was even more complex than she had imagined.

Suppressing the surprise in her heart, Nuwa began to search the surroundings carefully.

That Demon Qi was related to the Western Earth Veins, and since Tian Yuan had important matters and could not get away, Nuwa also wanted to contribute.

It was with Tian Yuan's help that she had stepped onto the Hunyuan Dao and managed to prove the Dao to Hunyuan.

Tian Yuan had helped their siblings a lot, yet conversely, they had not contributed much to the Consciousness Space.

Now that there was finally this opportunity, Nuwa would of course go all out.

For the next period of time, she intended to stay in the Western Land and thoroughly investigate that Demon Qi.

Time passed slowly; Tian Yuan was working hard to refine stars deep within the Zhou Tian Star Formation, and the entire Primordial World was also peaceful.

Because of the Hunyuan Dao that Tian Yuan had passed down earlier, both ordinary living beings and those Innate Sacreds were in seclusion.

Especially those Innate Sacreds who had already slain their corpses were all incomparably distressed in their hearts.

The Hunyuan Dao emphasized a flawless physical body and Hunyuan as one; no matter which corpse was slain, the physical body would have flaws and could never prove the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

To walk the Hunyuan path, one could only slay their current cultivation and fall back to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Self-slaying cultivation was not a simple matter; once an accident occurred and damaged the foundation, the light result was stagnation, and the heavy result was a regression in cultivation.

In the vast Demon Master Palace of Beiming, Kunpeng had a dark face, his expression incomparably conflicted. He had heard Tian Yuan's Hunyuan Dao from beginning to end, and it was indeed much more powerful than Hongjun's Three Corpses Method.

It was just that some time ago, he had inexplicably slain another corpse and successfully broken through to the Quasi-Saint Peak, leaving only the final step of merging the three corpses.

If he were to re-cultivate the Hunyuan Dao, it would mean he would fall from the Quasi-Saint Peak to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak.

After the Purple Heaven Palace lecture, it had taken him so many years to reach this step; Kunpeng was truly reluctant.

Moreover, because of the Demon Court affair, he had made many enemies, especially that Stone Man of Buzhou Mountain.

Being a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal really provided too little sense of security.

It had been some time since he returned from the foot of Mount Buzhou, yet he still could not make up his mind.

The troubled Kunpeng paced back and forth in the hall, his heart growing increasingly restless.

Just at this moment, a sudden 'hum' resonated through the heavens and earth, and a vast Saint's might rolled forth.

Kunpeng looked up and saw Heavenly Flowers falling in disarray in the distant sky, Golden Lotuses springing from the earth, and countless gems and necklaces dangling from the air, emitting light, crisp clashing sounds.

Auspicious rays of light rose up, and ethereal celestial music echoed throughout the entire world.

Kunpeng stood frozen in the hall, staring blankly in the direction of Mount Buzhou; someone had become a Saint again.

He was far too familiar with this aura diffusing through the air; it was that detestable Hongyun.

The fluctuations sweeping across the world made Kunpeng's expression look extremely ugly.

The seven people who had been granted Hongmeng Purple Qi in Purple Heaven Palace back then had all taken that step.

No merit fell from the firmament; it was clear that Hongyun had walked the path of the Hunyuan Dao and achieved the status of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

With Hongyun, who possessed Hongmeng Purple Qi, choosing the Hunyuan Dao, how could Kunpeng not understand what choice he should make?

He took one deep look in the direction of Mount Buzhou and dove headlong into the deepest part of Beiming.

With his Essence Refining Stage falling, Beiming was his greatest reliance; only by staying there could he feel a sense of security.

Tian Yuan also discovered Hongyun Proving the Dao to Hunyuan; he immediately calmed his mind and transformed into the Heavenly Pillar, Mount Buzhou.

Although there was no movement from Mount Buzhou in the Primordial World, there were many changes within the Consciousness Space.

"Big Brother Mount Buzhou!" A kind, excited, and childish voice came through; it was a call from Fire Cloud Cave.

Red clouds permeated the Fire Cloud Cave floating to the east of Mount Buzhou, and Humanity Luck rolled out, quickly falling toward the land below.

It scattered across the Eastern Land and spread outward from there, enveloping every living creature.

Along with it, the light curtain shrouding the east also slowly expanded.

Hongyun was the Humanity Lord, and his achievement as a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal caused the Humanity Luck of the Primordial World to surge greatly.

With the gathering of luck, it became easier for living creatures to cultivate, and they were constantly reinforcing the Primordial World.

A thick will rose up on Mount Buzhou, commingling with the Humanity Will emerging from Fire Cloud Cave, and then surged into the Eastern Land.

Tian Yuan could clearly feel the changes in the Eastern Earth Vein; in almost an instant, the energy circulating through the many Earth Veins doubled.

Tian Yuan believed that it would not be long before the changes here would feed back into the Primordial World.

After communicating with Fire Cloud Cave and sending a blessing to Hongyun, Tian Yuan withdrew his Divine Sense.

Following the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Fire Cloud Cave, the seat of Humanity Luck, had also completely revived; the Primordial World would become even more powerful.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk had revived long ago, only to be shattered for unknown reasons, but Fire Cloud Cave was different; it was still just a tender child.

Among the Heaven Earth and Man Three Daos, Humanity was indeed the last to awaken.

If not for his intervention, and if Hongyun had not perished, this day would never have come.

Humanity had already revived, and he needed to accelerate the refining of the stars in the sky. Relatively speaking, the Heavenly Dao was the top priority, because Hongjun had merged his body with the Dao.

After such a long time, that person in Purple Heaven Palace still had not made any moves; it was truly too strange.

But with his current strength, Tian Yuan did not dare to rashly head toward Chaos.

The only thing to do now was to manifest the Heavenly Dao Will in the Consciousness Space as soon as possible. Once the Heaven Earth and Man Three Daos all appeared, Mount Buzhou would surely undergo a great change, and he would have his greatest reliance.

In Fire Cloud Cave, Hongyun's expression was ecstatic, his rugged face full of excitement.

Proving the Dao to Hunyuan and achieving the status of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal—he had finally taken this step.

He had not relied on Hongmeng Purple Qi, nor had he depended on merit; aside from a little help from Tian Yuan, it was all cultivated by himself.

And at this very moment, Hongyun also became more aware of his mission.

Humanity must flourish! Only then would the Primordial World be more powerful! Standing proudly in the air, Hongyun looked down at the auspicious cloud beneath him. Within that interwoven Mysterious Yellow Qi, he clearly saw a great seal floating.

Following his breakthrough, that supreme treasure deep within Fire Cloud Cave had also completely gestated.

With a beckon of his right hand into the void, a great seal landed in his palm.

As soon as it fell into his palm, Hongyun knew the origin of this object.

The Human Race supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal, a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure! Nine dragons were coiled around the seal, countless phantoms of the Human Race appeared on the four sides of the seal base, and the Great Dao talisman characters 'Kongtong' were carved beneath the seal.

With the Witch-Demon era coming to an end, the Human Race was destined to be the protagonist of heaven and earth, and this treasure was used to suppress the luck of the Human Race.

"Zhenyuanzi, it is your lucky day!" Putting away the Kongtong Seal, Hongyun turned and left Fire Cloud Cave.

He had said long ago that the second supreme treasure gestated in Fire Cloud Cave would be given to Zhenyuanzi, and Hongyun would certainly not break his word.

Having cultivated for some time, it was just the right moment to go north and see how that good friend was doing.
