Chapter 225: The Aura of Earth Veins in the Western Region

As the stars shifted and turned, the two emerged from the depths of the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

As Wangshu's figure appeared, endless starlight spilled across the sky, gathering in her palms.

And in Wangshu's hands, Tian Yuan also felt a faint, cool will; it was the aura of the Lunar Star.

The circulating Lunar will completely enveloped the energy that Wangshu had gathered.

The gathered energy was still only the size of a human head, only it looked much more vibrant in color.

Having finished this, Wangshu gently extended her right hand and handed the energy ball to Tian Yuan.

Although she did not know why Tian Yuan did this, she did not ask.

He took it with his right hand, and the will of Mount Buzhou emerged; just as before, the energy ball of gathered starlight was mastered by Tian Yuan.

Wangshu, who already wore a look of curiosity, saw this and her eyes widened instantly, her face filled with bewilderment.

This was energy she had gathered with her own will; how was it that Tian Yuan took control of it in the blink of an eye?

At such a close distance, she had not even seen how Tian Yuan managed to do it.

Regarding the renowned stone man before her, Wangshu felt even more curious; what did he want to do? Tian Yuan had clearly already refined quite a few stars in the depths of the Zhou Tian Star Formation and could likewise gather Star Power, so why go to such unnecessary trouble? Still not asking, Wangshu followed Tian Yuan to the space above Mount Buzhou.

Having not seen it for a while, the might of Mount Buzhou had become even more exaggerated.

With her Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, she could even faintly feel a powerful pressure.

No wonder Tian Yuan could capture Di Jun; it seemed taking her down would also be effortless. Everyone was a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet she had not expected the gap to be so large.

Before even approaching Mount Buzhou, Wangshu felt a faint will enveloping her; it was the aura of Mount Buzhou.

She did not resist, and that will merely circled around her body.

With a slight fluctuation in the void and a flicker of dim light, she had arrived in a slightly dusky world.

Within her line of sight, a divine mountain shrouded in Mysterious Yellow Qi stood tall, radiating a profound will.

With just one glance, Wangshu already understood that Tian Yuan had brought her to that mysterious Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

Earlier, Tian Yuan had captured many of the Witch and Demon Clans precisely to dredge the Earth Veins here.

Yet, standing in the air and looking out, she did not see any Earth Veins in the Eastern Land, though there were quite a few living beings surviving within it.

Just as Wangshu was feeling puzzled, a sigh filled with slight regret drifted over from the side.

Turning her head to look, she saw Tian Yuan open his palm, and the Star Power gathered in his palm began to fade.

Uncomprehending, Wangshu still could not help but ask, "Brother Daoist, this is..."

Having followed him all the way here, she was truly a bit unclear about Tian Yuan's actions.

He could do it himself, yet he borrowed her hand, and now he had this expression; it was truly quite strange.

"It's nothing, just a guess in my heart that was wrong," Tian Yuan waved his hand and replied softly.

Wangshu came from the Lunar Star and could likewise wield Star Power, yet she could not do as Di Jun did.

The Lunar Star was as extraordinary as the Sun Star; if it could not be done through Wangshu's hands, it could only be related to the Demon Court.

Although the Sun Star and Lunar Star were related to the Heavenly Dao Will, the Demon Court might be the key.

In the current situation, besides subduing Di Jun, one could only find Taiyi.

It was just that neither of these two methods was that simple.

Of course, bringing Wangshu here still yielded good results.

At this moment, above Wangshu's head, a brilliant silver moonlight rose, connecting directly to the Lunar Star in the Starry Sky.

Tian Yuan guessed that perhaps it would not be long before the Lunar Star could fully manifest in this space.

At that time, he would be able to rely on the manifested Lunar Star to inversely control the Lunar Star of the Primordial World.

Moreover, Wangshu's appearance had brought more than a dozen types of Laws to the Consciousness Space, and it was getting closer and closer to the perfection of the Three Thousand Laws.

Looking at that crescent-shaped Sun Star, Tian Yuan guessed that Taiyi's disappearance might be related to that more than half of the Sun Star that had yet to manifest.

Seeing that Tian Yuan did not elaborate, Wangshu did not ask either, and she cupped her hands politely, saying, "If Brother Daoist has any commands, just give them!"

She had long yearned for the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, and now that she had managed to enter, she could not help but feel curious.

"It's fine! You can wander around here as you please!" Tian Yuan replied with a smile.

Since Wangshu had entered of her own volition, she naturally had absolute freedom.

As for the manifestation of the Lunar Star, Tian Yuan was not too anxious; after all, the Sun Star did not even have a form, and he did not know when the stars would fill the sky.

"Ah? Alright!"

Wangshu was startled; she had not expected Tian Yuan to be so straightforward, and she naturally nodded repeatedly.

She did not stand on ceremony, cupped her hands toward Tian Yuan, and immediately swept toward the south of Mount Buzhou.

There, flames soared to the heavens, and more importantly, Wangshu felt the auras of Changxi, Xihe, and others.

Although she had no heart for the affairs of heaven and earth, she still cared somewhat for these two Lunar Fairies.

Now that she had entered the Consciousness Space and sensed their locations, she naturally had to go and take a look.

It was not just about the safety of the two women; the key was that she could also learn about the situation here from them.

Since Tian Yuan had brought her in, it was not convenient for her to grandly extend her Divine Sense; this was undoubtedly the best way to inquire about things here.

Watching the direction in which Wangshu left, Tian Yuan did not pay it any mind.

He was originally an easygoing person, and he had always been striving for the benefit of the Primordial World; since Wangshu could cooperate with him, she naturally had absolute freedom.

Tian Yuan, who had swept a regretful glance at the firmament, was just about to leave when his brows furrowed slightly.

He took a step forward, his figure landing on the peak of Mount Buzhou, gazing toward the Western Land.

Earth Veins; he felt the aura of faint Earth Veins in the West.

"What is going on?" Looking at the Western World where Demon Qi rolled, Tian Yuan's eyes held deep bewilderment.

Ever since Demon Qi inexplicably appeared in the West and kept dissipating, Tian Yuan had paid attention to it from time to time.

Yet, so much time had passed, and Zhu Jiuyin and the other Ancestral Witches had gained nothing, nor had he discovered anything. It was only that the surging Demon Qi was becoming more and more abundant, almost radiating throughout the entire Western World.

"Could the Western Earth Veins be within this Demon Qi?" Tian Yuan muttered, his figure vanishing from Mount Buzhou.

In the void, Demon Qi surged continuously, yet just as before, it could be touched, but seemed isolated in another space, having no effect on him.

Ahead, several streaks of light escaped; it was Zhu Jiuyin and several other Ancestral Witches who had sensed Tian Yuan's fluctuations and rushed over.

"Greetings, Dao Brother Tian Yuan!"

"Dao Brother!"

Compared to the past, the several Ancestral Witches were clearly much more respectful.

Seeing Tian Yuan again now, there was no trace of surprise; their eyes held only respect.

Tian Yuan nodded and asked softly, "Has there been anything unusual during this time?"

The Malevolent Qi on the Northern Land was nearly exhausted; apart from Houtu, who was cultivating in the Netherworld, and Gonggong, who was still searching for Xuanming on the Great Desolate land, the remaining Ancestral Witches were all here.

Zhu Jiuyin walked forward, his face showing embarrassment as he replied, "It is still the same as before; there is no movement, and it cannot be investigated, but..."

"... but Xuanming's aura has become increasingly thick!"

Speaking to the end, a worried look appeared on Zhu Jiuyin's face.

The remaining Ancestral Witches nearby also had heavy faces, worry flashing in their eyes.

Some time ago, Gonggong had returned to the Consciousness Space once, and they already knew the situation beneath Mount Sumeru.

They were unclear about the relationship between Xuanming and the World-Destroying Mill, but it was definitely related to Demon Ancestor Luohou.

The Western Earth Veins had collapsed because of Luohou, and he was one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods; they did not think the other party would be a good person. It was clear that Luohou was currently plotting against the Western Earth Veins, and Xuanming was involved in it.

When the Demon Qi first appeared, they had come to the Western Region, but who knew it would turn into this situation; they had gained nothing.

Regarding this, Tian Yuan was not surprised; after all, if Zhu Jiuyin and the others had made any discoveries, they would certainly have notified him immediately.

Without saying more, Tian Yuan swept forward, following that faint aura.

It was not a response from the Earth Veins, but merely that he had sensed the aura leaking from the Earth Veins, which was precisely what puzzled Tian Yuan the most.

Could the Earth Veins in the Consciousness Space not be under his control? Seeing Tian Yuan's expression, the regretful-looking Zhu Jiuyin and the others looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

No one spoke, only their gazes kept sweeping toward the front of Tian Yuan.

During this time, they had frequently flown back and forth in the Western Region, but had discovered nothing.

Could it be that Tian Yuan had already made a discovery the moment he arrived?

Amidst their shock and doubt, Zhu Jiuyin and the others felt anticipation in their hearts.

Xuanming had been missing for so long, and the few of them were still very worried.

There was no news of Gonggong on the Great Desolate land; perhaps they still had to rely on clues here.

On that side, Wangshu had already caught sight of the group of figures on the crimson land.

There were Changxi, Xihe, and the ten Crown Princes of the Demon Court; that group of Demon Gods and Demon Saints were all there, only Di Jun's figure was missing.

Wangshu did not conceal her aura, and Changxi and Xihe, who were also Lunar Fairies, sensed it easily.

Looking at the familiar figure in the air, both women had looks of astonishment on their faces.

Mas... Master?

Changxi and Xihe looked at each other, still somewhat unable to believe it.

Sensing carefully, it was indeed pure Lunar Power. The two women did not hesitate anymore and hurriedly rushed forward to meet her.

"Greetings, Master!" Changxi and Xihe bowed respectfully.

They were both Lunar Fairies, but thanks to Wangshu's guidance, the two women were able to take human form early, so they had always maintained the etiquette of juniors.

"Master, why have you come?"

"That stone man?"

Having just finished their greetings, Changxi and Xihe asked impatiently, their gazes frequently looking behind her.

They felt helpless that Di Jun might have been suppressed by Tian Yuan; now that they saw Wangshu appearing here safely, how could they not be shocked and suspicious?

Did Master break in to save them, or was she also captured by Tian Yuan? But looking at it this way, it did not seem so.

"Greetings, Fairy Wangshu!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wangshu!"

Baize and the others also saw Wangshu and flew forward one by one to offer greetings.

The scene was filled with high-ranking members of the Demon Court who all knew of Wangshu's existence, and many had even met her at Demon Court banquets.

The crowd, while offering respectful greetings, was also full of doubts at this moment; Wangshu's demeanor seemed somewhat different.

Sweeping across the many figures, Wangshu nodded slightly.

Except for Di Jun, all the Demon Gods and Demon Saints of the Demon Court were present; Tian Yuan had not taken their lives.

Meeting everyone's gaze, Wangshu asked in confusion, "Why is the Demon Emperor not to be seen?"

The Lunar and Solar are closely related, and Di Jun was a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal; unless he deliberately hid his aura, she would not be unable to sense him.

Of course, it also had to do with Wangshu being a newcomer; it was inconvenient for her to probe with her Divine Sense at will. Otherwise, with her strength, if she investigated with all her might, she would still be able to discover Di Jun's location.

Di Jun had been captured by Tian Yuan and was not seen at the moment, so she naturally had to ask Changxi and the others.

"The Demon Emperor?"

"Senior, is my Imperial Father not on the Great Desolate land?"

"Senior, have you ever seen the Demon Emperor?"

As soon as Wangshu's words fell, bursts of exclamations exploded.

And Changxi, Xihe, and that Demon Saint Baize had nervous expressions on their faces.

The strange reactions of the crowd in front of her also made Wangshu feel somewhat strange.

Meeting those pairs of eyes, Wangshu instantly understood the connection; the matter of Di Jun might not be that simple.

Since Tian Yuan had captured Di Jun without letting everyone know, there must be a reason for it.

Waving her hand, she said softly, "I previously obtained good fortune in the Starry Sky with the two Demon Emperors; they were the first to Proving the Dao to Hunyuan, but I do not know their whereabouts, and I thought they had come to this space."

Wangshu avoided the important and dwelt on the trivial, simply speaking of the matters in the Starry Sky.

"Proving the Dao to Hunyuan?"

"Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal? The Demon Emperor has broken through."

"Father Emperor has Proved the Dao to Hunyuan? Haha, that is great, Father Emperor will surely come to save us."

"Indeed! Father Emperor must be thinking of a way to save us."

Sure enough, hearing that the two Demon Emperors had broken through, everyone present was overjoyed, their expressions excited.

They had all heard of Tian Yuan's Hunyuan Dao and knew very well what Proving the Dao to Hunyuan represented.

The Demon Emperors' strength had greatly increased; how could this not make them happy?

Only Baize kept a slightly sunken face, without saying a word.

He had not yet told anyone about Di Jun being suppressed.

What Heavenly Dao Saint, what Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal—were they not still suppressed by Tian Yuan under Mount Buzhou?

To truly leave this place, only that stone man could voluntarily grant passage.

Although Changxi and Xihe knew that Di Jun had already entered, they did not know the specific situation.

With a strange expression, Changxi then asked in confusion, "Master, have you also taken that step?"

Being both Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, why had Di Jun disappeared without a trace, while Wangshu appeared here normally?

The excited crowd all around also recalled the implication of Wangshu's words, and their expressions began to turn somewhat strange.

They had not felt any fluctuations of battle just now, so how did Wangshu appear here? Was she captured by Tian Yuan? But she did not have that kind of demeanor; still, many of the Demon Race thought of a possibility, but they dared not speak, only waiting quietly in the area.

Scanning the crowd with her gaze, Wangshu nodded and said softly, "It was Tian Yuan who led me in."

Without any concealment, Wangshu stated it directly.

She had no enmity with Tian Yuan, and since Changxi and Xihe, whom she was most worried about, were also fine, there was even less reason to oppose Tian Yuan.

Moreover, Wangshu was very much in favor of Tian Yuan's work in benefiting the Primordial World, and was even willing to cooperate.

The group of Demon Gods and Demon Saints opened their mouths wide, their faces filled with astonishment, unable to react for a moment.

Baize was not too surprised; the moment he saw Wangshu, he had already vaguely guessed it.

Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd, Wangshu looked at Changxi and Xihe and said, "Tell me about the situation in this space."

Compared to Di Jun's encounter, she was more curious about this space.

Tian Yuan's goal was to benefit the world, and since Xihe and the others had been locked up for such a long time without incident, Di Jun naturally would not be in any danger.

Changxi and Xihe dared not doubt her and hurriedly recounted everything they knew one by one.
