Chapter 239: Repairing the Origin, Reborn from the Fire
"It has been so long, why is there no movement at all down below?"
Waiting is undoubtedly an irritable affair, especially when one's heart is filled with curiosity about the scene below.
Di Jun's gaze frequently looked downward, but apart from the violent Yuanfeng, he still could not see the figure of Tian Yuan, nor was there any movement.
Just as he was speaking, he immediately raised his head and cast his gaze toward the sky above.
Wangshu, beside him, also looked up at the same time.
Amidst the surging Chaos above, a fiery red figure was fleeing rapidly; it was a stone man burning with flames.
The other party had a burly figure, and apart from the crimson body burning with flames, its appearance was exactly the same as Tian Yuan's.
The stone man only had the cultivation of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and at this moment, it parted the Chaos and hurried toward them.
Di Jun was naturally extremely familiar with such stone men; when he had attacked Mount Buzhou earlier, he had been besieged by numerous stone men.
After not seeing them for a period of time, this stone man had also reached the Peak Primordial Golden Immortal level.
"I heard that in this space, there are thousands of such powerful stone men?" Wangshu, beside him, asked in a soft voice.
When the Demon Court had previously attacked Tian Yuan, Wangshu had heard of the matter of the stone men, but this was her first time seeing one.
Di Jun nodded and replied with a frown: "These stone men are all pure embodiments of laws, and they are also related to the living beings who enter this space."
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly to look at Wangshu beside him.
He and Wangshu had already entered this space; perhaps in some corner, there was also a stone man with the same origin as them.
Feeling the pure and thick laws within the stone man's body, a look of worry flashed in Di Jun's eyes.
These strange stone men were all embodiments of a single law, and more importantly, they could cultivate.
Now that Tian Yuan had already Proved the Dao to Hunyuan, would those numerous strange stone men also take that step?
Back then, he and his brother had fought hard against many stone men; if they all broke through to become Great Luo Golden Immortals, thinking of this, Di Jun could not help but feel his heart shrink.
There are very few pure living beings in the world; for example, he and his brother were formed from the Great Sun Golden Flame, but their bodies were also mixed with other laws.
A Great Luo Golden Immortal of a single law is certainly incomparable to the ordinary.
Tian Yuan was already terrifying enough; if one added thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals of pure laws.
Thinking of this, Di Jun could not help but sigh heavily in his heart. The more he understood, the greater the blow he received.
The Demon Court had already crumbled, and he had even less capital to fight against Tian Yuan.
With these Stone Men of Buzhou Mountain here, there would likely be no day for him and his brother to get ahead in the Primordial World.
Wangshu did not notice the change in Di Jun, her eyes carefully sizing up the approaching stone man.
It was indeed as the rumors said, an absolutely pure origin of the Fire Law.
Fire Law?
Wangshu was startled and immediately lowered her head to look at the space below.
Tian Yuan had been down there for a while, and Yuanfeng's origin was also related to fire; it seemed this stone man had come under Tian Yuan's orders.
Just as she had thought, the stone man landed not far from them.
The other party ignored them and fell straight toward Yuanfeng below.
In the astonished gazes of the two, the flaming stone man did not encounter any obstruction and passed through easily.
Sensing the appearance of the stone man, the irritable and crazed Yuanfeng opened her mouth and spat out a stream of flames, her figure immediately pouncing toward the stone man.
Di Jun and Wangshu, watching from above, frowned slightly, their eyes filled with confusion.
It was one thing for the stone man to pass through the Heaven and Earth Will, but how could a mere Hunyuan Golden Immortal withstand Yuanfeng?
Although Yuanfeng's state was a bit strange at the moment, with only instinctual attacks remaining, she was definitely not someone a Hunyuan Golden Immortal could resist.
They looked carefully beneath Yuanfeng's body and did not see Tian Yuan appear.
In the puzzled gazes of the two, facing the flames spat out by Yuanfeng, the stone man did not dodge and went straight to meet them.
The eyes of the two watching shrank; who would have thought that just as it approached, the stone man turned into a long rainbow, ignored Yuanfeng's attack, and plunged headlong into Yuanfeng's body.
"It... it turned into a law?" Wangshu widened her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.
Even Di Jun beside her had his pupils slightly dilated, feeling extremely surprised.
These stone men were mysterious and strange, and he had even fought them before; Di Jun had always regarded them as a type of living being, but now, this was the situation.
In the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, these strange stone men were not living beings at all.
"No wonder! No wonder!" Di Jun muttered in a low voice.
At this moment, he finally understood why the laws within these stone men were so pure; it turned out they were originally incarnations of laws, not living beings at all.
As the pure power of law escaped into Yuanfeng's body, Di Jun had already vaguely guessed Tian Yuan's intention.
That was a wisp of law cultivated to the Peak Primordial Golden Immortal level; Tian Yuan was actually so generous.
Even with his own Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, such pure law was of great use.
Sure enough, as soon as the law transformed from the stone man entered Yuanfeng's body, the previously violent Yuanfeng trembled all over and immediately stopped in mid-air.
She flapped her wings slightly, no longer emitting painful cries, and the energy leaking from her body weakened significantly; the effect was immediate.
"Repairing the origin, it looks like Yuanfeng is about to wake up." Wangshu, beside him, also saw through Tian Yuan's plan, her eyes filled with wonder.
Di Jun was silent, his eyes filled with astonishment, annoyance, and deep helplessness.
Damage to the origin cannot be recovered in a day or two; once the Dao Foundation is injured, it may be difficult to repair.
Yet, for such a serious injury, Tian Yuan treated it as a casual act.
This stone man was too powerful and too mysterious.
There were thousands of stone men in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space; did that mean the other party possessed so much power of law?
The foundation—the foundation of Mount Buzhou—far exceeded their imagination.
Di Jun guessed inexplicably in his heart that even now, he only knew the tip of the iceberg of Tian Yuan.
The atmosphere in the scene was a bit too quiet; neither of them spoke, just quietly watching below.
Tian Yuan, who was repairing the Heaven and Earth Will, looked at the slightly quiet Yuanfeng above with great satisfaction.
It was just as he had thought; the method of repairing Yuanfeng's origin truly worked.
Although he had lost a manifested Fire Law stone man, the harvest far exceeded this small sacrifice. Moreover, it was only this stone man that had disappeared; Mount Buzhou could still manifest a new Fire Law, it was just that the new stone man would need to cultivate from scratch.
With the repair of many Earth Veins and the revival of Humanity and the Earthly Dao, Mount Buzhou was no longer what it once was, and the speed at which it manifested laws far exceeded what it had been before.
For Tian Yuan, this action could be said to have no losses at all.
On the contrary, with Yuanfeng waking up and being able to control her own energy, it would inevitably accelerate the recovery of the Earth Veins in the Southern Land.
With Yuanfeng's obstruction gone, there would be no need for him to personally repair these holes in the Heavenly Dao Will here.
Except for the Western Region, which was separated by a natural chasm, the East, South, and North were all shrouded by the will of Mount Buzhou, so leaving the repair work to Mount Buzhou was most appropriate.
There was one last point: once Yuanfeng woke up, he might be able to learn some secrets from her.
The Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space was mysterious and extraordinary, but he had no way to investigate matters concerning the Sea of Blood or the damage to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Yuanfeng was the only true living being in this space, and perhaps she would know quite a few things.
As he continued his repairs, the frequency of Yuanfeng's wing-flapping above grew lower and lower.
At such a close distance, Tian Yuan could clearly feel a dense Fire Law exploding within her body, repairing Yuanfeng's origin.
Under Tian Yuan's expectant gaze, Yuanfeng's massive body became completely still.
Those wings were spread out, and her entire form floated in the air, motionless.
Tian Yuan was wondering how long it would take for her to wake up, when a faint voice reached his ears.
"Many thanks for your help, Dao Brother; Yuanfeng is deeply grateful!"
The light, yet somewhat weary words instantly made Tian Yuan's face beam with joy.
Although Yuanfeng had quieted down, Tian Yuan did not know what the specific result would be.
After all, the energy within her body was too heterogeneous, and it was constantly being eroded by Chaos.
As for whether Yuanfeng could wake up and when she could recover, Tian Yuan had no certainty in his heart.
Who would have thought that the moment the power of the Fire Law exploded within her body, Yuanfeng would have already recovered her consciousness.
The happy Tian Yuan was just about to communicate with her when a loud cry rang out above his head, and he saw raging fires burning within Yuanfeng's body.
As those flames rose, Yuanfeng's massive body suddenly exploded with a boom, turning into flames that scattered in all directions.
Her entire physical body turned into pure fire, with many colors such as red, black, and gray.
The bursting flames almost filled all the space in front of him.
This sudden, drastic change left Tian Yuan stunned on the spot, but in the next second, his eyes lit up.
It was because among the flames scattering in all directions, bright red, gorgeous flames were rising.
They quickly gathered toward the center, and in the blink of an eye, they intertwined into a large cocoon, fiery red, emitting a sacred and noble aura.
In that huge fire cocoon, Tian Yuan clearly felt a familiar aura; it was none other than Yuanfeng from just a moment ago.
"Bathing in Fire, Rebirth from Fire—is this Yuanfeng's strongest innate divine ability!" Tian Yuan strode forward and passed through that layer of faint Heaven and Earth Will.
With Rebirth from Fire, even a single wisp of flame could restore her own body.
It was rumored that with every rebirth, one's strength would have a qualitative breakthrough.
Of course, this was also the time when Yuanfeng was at her weakest, but with the Heaven and Earth Will guarding the surroundings, no one could hurt her.
Tian Yuan tried to communicate, but she did not respond, which was also within his expectations.
Yuanfeng had quieted down, and although the surroundings were still filled with mottled energy, it could no longer be called a problem.
These mixed energies would all be absorbed by the Fusang Wood and finally transformed into the Earth Veins of the Southern Land.
After carefully examining the fire cocoon, Tian Yuan looked around and leaped toward the top.
Although he really wanted to communicate with Yuanfeng, at this critical moment, Tian Yuan would not disturb her.
Yuanfeng was suppressed under the Undying Volcano; there would be plenty of time in the future.
Moreover, after her Rebirth from Fire, Yuanfeng might be able to take that step and become a true Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.
This was a great thing for both the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space and the Primordial World.
Ignoring Di Jun and Wangshu, who were standing there in a daze, Tian Yuan leaped and sped upward.
Yuanfeng had completely quieted down, and those holes in the Heaven and Earth Will would also be repaired by Mount Buzhou.
It had been a while, and he wanted to go see the situation of the Earth Vein evolution in the Southern Land.
"Bathing in Fire, Rebirth from Fire? Is the effect of that stone man really that good?" Wangshu looked at the fire cocoon below, her eyes filled with great surprise.
They had both seen Yuanfeng's situation just now; she had completely lost herself, and there was mixed, violent energy within her body.
The fire stone man had only just been put into Yuanfeng's body, and she had recovered her reason in such a short time and even unleashed her innate divine ability.
Looking up at the direction in which Tian Yuan had left, Wangshu felt more and more how powerful he was.
Di Jun let out a soft sigh, his face filled with sorrow.
Just at this moment, a vast will descended from above, pouring directly into the Chaos beneath them and landing in the void below the fire cocoon.
Clearly, Tian Yuan was mobilizing the will to begin repairing the space below, helping Yuanfeng resist the erosion of Chaos.
"Such a dense will; is this the aura of Mount Buzhou?" Wangshu widened her eyes, looking carefully at the void in front of her.
She could see nothing, but Wangshu could clearly feel a vast, ancient aura.
After looking for a few more moments, she inexplicably felt her own insignificance and pettiness.
Even though they were separated by such a great distance and were still deep within the Undying Volcano, she had not expected Tian Yuan to still be able to mobilize such thick Mount Buzhou will.
Compared to Wangshu's shock and admiration, Di Jun's face twitched slightly, his eyes revealing embarrassment.
After Proving the Dao to Hunyuan and becoming a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, he had mastered quite a bit of Sun Star Will. But compared to the Mount Buzhou will before him, it was a difference as great as heaven and earth.
When they had fought before, it was in the Primordial Starry Sky, and here there was Chaos blocking them, yet it was still this powerful.
Di Jun deeply suspected that right now, in any place in the Primordial World, Tian Yuan could mobilize the will of Mount Buzhou.
Perhaps this silent stone man is already capable of crushing enemies with Mount Buzhou.
The will carried by Mount Buzhou is already this terrifying; if the Heavenly Pillar were truly to come crashing down, who could withstand it?
In the Primordial World, who else could be a match for Tian Yuan?
