Chapter 23: The Manifestation of the Three Thousand Laws

The shock in his heart transformed into boundless rage!

That stone man, that detestable stone man, after taking a punch from him, was actually still thinking about snatching the Wu Clan.

The practiced movements, the direction of advance—everything drove Kuafu to madness.

Flames of anger burned in his chest; he felt his blood surging and roaring, his heart seemingly about to burst through his chest.

The rage, suppressed to the extreme, had nowhere to vent, finally transforming into a heaven-shaking roar.

The void was instantly filled with dense cracks, and the Malevolent Qi behind him obscured the entire firmament, yet it could not close the distance between the two.

After stepping into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, that fellow's speed had become faster.

Had his own punch just now really not injured the opponent at all? Glancing at Kuafu, who was chasing from afar, Tian Yuan turned and fled toward Mount Buzhou.

After breaking into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, his perception had expanded more than a hundredfold, and he had toured all the Wu Clan tribes under his Divine Sense.

He had already captured enough Wu people, and the faint white light remaining on his arm needed to be eliminated; he was also somewhat looking forward to the changes in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

Being able to achieve what he had today was entirely thanks to the Heavenly Pillar, Mount Buzhou; that was his greatest reliance.

Watching the figure behind him grow further and further away, Tian Yuan muttered, "With this speed, no wonder he was roasted to death by ten little suns."

Because he had just swept away a multitude of Wu people, he did not escape into the ground.

Currently carrying the Iron-Eating Beast, not only did Kuafu fail to catch up to him, but he was actually falling further behind.

There are gains and losses; under powerful strength, there must be shortcomings.

Shaking his head, Tian Yuan had no intention of entangling with Kuafu, and with a *whoosh*, he led Gungun and dove into the earth.

With over a million Wu Clan members thrown into the Earth Vein at once, he reckoned it wouldn't be long before he could break through again.

As for Kuafu, this Great Witch, it was best to make plans after breaking through.

In a battle between Great Luo Golden Immortals, unless one has an absolute advantage, it is impossible to end it in a short time, not to mention that the Wu Clan are a bunch of thick-skinned fellows.

A physical body of pure strength is likely most adept at protracted warfare; it is time-consuming.

Seeing that Tian Yuan had lost his trail, a yellow snake coiled on Kuafu's shoulder darted out and likewise escaped into the ground, disappearing from sight.

Looking at Mount Buzhou, which was close at hand, Tian Yuan sighed in his heart: "The Primordial World is truly not just ordinarily large!"

This trip down the mountain had lasted about three hundred years in total, but the rapid return had only taken a year; he seemed to have only been wandering around the foot of Mount Buzhou all along.

He also gained a more intuitive understanding of the number of living beings in the Primordial World.

Several million Wu people might be but a drop in the ocean for the entire Wu Clan.

Thinking of it this way, how many living beings would this impending Witch-Demon Calamity involve?

Hundreds of billions or even trillions? In all likelihood, only more.

Tian Yuan stood in the air in deep thought, while Gungun beside him had eyes that were shining brightly.

Mount Buzhou, the place he yearned for most in his life.

It was rumored that heavenly treasures were everywhere upon it, but because Mount Buzhou radiated vast might, he had gone there several times and returned in a sorry state each time.

In the entire Primordial World, only the Wu Clan was unaffected, which was also the reason he followed Houtu.

Looking at the scene before him, Tian Yuan seemed to come from Mount Buzhou.

Before he could think further, he was swept up by a force and fell toward Mount Buzhou.

Gungun was greatly alarmed; his strength was not enough to fly on Mount Buzhou.

Tian Yuan, at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, might be able to, but he definitely had no spare energy to look after him.

Sure enough, before they even landed, a vast might descended, striking his Primordial Spirit directly; Gungun's face was filled with shock, and he shouted in a panic: "Wait—"

Just as the words left his mouth, he froze on the spot, staring blankly at his surroundings.

That might had actually vanished in an instant, as if it didn't exist at all.

As soon as the two landed, a faint glow flashed, and he saw the vast and boundless Eastern Land; he had actually reached the mountainside of Mount Buzhou. He had arrived here, and without being affected in the slightest—this was something he hadn't even dared to imagine.

Turning around to look at the Heavenly Pillar that still had no visible peak, Gungun hadn't seen wrong; he was indeed on Mount Buzhou.

Glancing at the dumbstruck Gungun, Tian Yuan naturally understood what he was thinking.

Mount Buzhou was his own body; although he couldn't jump up and smash people directly, controlling a bit of its might was easy.

"Stay here properly, and don't run around!"

Having said that, his figure had already vanished from the scene.

He didn't mind keeping a pet, but Tian Yuan had no intention of taking the Iron-Eating Beast to that space.

That was his greatest secret, and for now, it was a place one could enter but not leave.

The calm voice startled Gungun, who hurriedly responded respectfully: "Understood, Master!"

Controlling the might of Mount Buzhou was somewhat beyond his comprehension. And that instantaneous escape technique was clearly not an ordinary method either.

This stone man who had semi-forcibly taken him away was far more mysterious than he had imagined.

Tian Yuan had not harmed those Wu people, which made him feel a bit better; after all, his original intention was just to find a place to lie flat.

To Gungun's respectful address, Tian Yuan merely smiled.

In the familiar place, the twenty Earth Veins of the Eastern Land were golden and brilliant, illuminating that area in a sacred and gorgeous light.

The Mysterious Yellow Qi shrouding Mount Buzhou became even denser, as if a giant ring were covering the outside.

Tian Yuan, joyful in his heart, was just about to release those Wu people when his figure suddenly trembled slightly and he immediately vanished from the scene.

He arrived in an Earth Vein, the very Earth Vein the Demon Race was currently dredging, and Tian Yuan looked at the stone man before him in shock.

The consciousness of Mount Buzhou had manifested, numbering three thousand. Because of the ability to come and go as it pleased, it had always been dredging the Earth Veins together with the many members of the Demon Race.

But now, the stone man before him was shrouded in Mysterious Yellow Qi, and in the Earth Vein beneath its feet, rolling Earth Law was actually surging in.

He was very familiar with that law; it was precisely the Earth Law he was most proficient in.

It was clearly a manifestation of consciousness, without a fixed form, just a tool; yet now, it had undergone a change.

"Hoo!"

Tian Yuan took a deep breath and immediately settled his mind.

After a few breaths, he opened his eyes, his face filled with joy.

Tian Yuan understood the reason, and he was even clearer on why the stone figures manifested by the will numbered only three thousand.

They corresponded to the Three Thousand Laws, and because of his breakthrough, they resonated with Mount Buzhou, allowing the Earth Law to revive.

The stone figures before him had no life; they were merely the manifestation of the purest laws, yet they possessed cultivation.

"Haha." Tian Yuan looked up and laughed loudly, his heart filled with immense joy.

This was the greatest change in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space after stepping into the Golden Immortal realm—no, it should be said it was the change from dredging the twenty Branch Veins.

With the complete manifestation of the laws, Mount Buzhou had truly begun to gradually revive.

As long as the remaining laws were cultivated to a certain degree, the corresponding laws could be activated one after another.

Of course, he could cultivate them himself, or he could capture other Golden Immortals.

As long as he could trigger a resonance with the corresponding law, that law would manifest.

Tian Yuan thought of Kuafu at the very first moment!

For the Law of Force, if he were to capture him, this scroll of laws would manifest on a stone figure.

At that time, he would be able to use Mount Buzhou to cultivate the Law of Force!
