Chapter 24: Does Mount Buzhou Have Brothers and Sisters?

While in a pleasant mood, Tian Yuan could not help but feel a sense of doubt.

The Earth Veins were blocked and polluted, the Three Thousand Laws were sealed, and it was as if Mount Buzhou had been stripped away from the Primordial World.

Was it man-made, or was the world itself restricted? Tian Yuan did not know either.

Regardless, dredging and purifying the Earth Veins was Mount Buzhou's cultivation, and it was his own practice as well.

Once all the Earth Veins of the Primordial World were dredged and repaired, perhaps he would be able to understand exactly what was going on.

The aura of the stone man before his eyes was still rising; after breaking into the Golden Immortal realm, it still showed no signs of stopping.

"Senior... Senior?" A voice, respectful yet slightly probing, rang out.

Tian Yuan turned his head, saw who had come, and nodded slightly.

He recognized the other party, the first member of the Demon Race he had dragged in.

Blood Dragon's breath hitched, his expression excited, and he hurriedly offered a respectful salute: "Blood Dragon pays his respects to Senior."

He often saw stone men hopping about, but they never spoke, only working diligently to dredge the Earth Veins.

Just now, hearing a stone man laugh toward the sky, he felt something was amiss, and sure enough, it was Senior Tian Yuan.

It had been nearly two thousand years since he arrived in this space, and although he had only seen Tian Yuan at the very beginning, Blood Dragon felt nothing but reverence for this stone man who came and went without a trace.

Tian Yuan's mystery far exceeded his imagination.

Xiongda and Xionger, who were following along the side, saw this and immediately walked up cautiously: "Xiongda (Xionger) pays his respects to Senior."

Although they had been knocked unconscious and packed away by Tian Yuan, at this very moment, the two demons felt nothing but endless reverence for him.

Having dredged two Earth Veins, they were now only one step away from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Bestowing such good fortune was no less than the grace of preaching the Dao, and they dared not forget it for all eternity.

Glancing at the two simple-minded fellows, Tian Yuan had some impression of them; they were the two simple bears brought in after Blood Dragon.

Many of the surrounding Demon Race were already suspicious, and now, hearing that the stone man was Senior Tian Yuan, they immediately swarmed forward, all offering respectful salutes.

They had not been here long, but almost everyone had broken through at least one realm, and the slightly weaker ones had even broken through two; how could they not be grateful to Tian Yuan?

Meeting the circle of burning gazes around him, Tian Yuan waved his hand and said: "The Earth Veins are limited; you all must seize the time and not lose this opportunity."

With the Wu Clan's terrifying dredging speed, if these demons didn't work hard, they would likely not be able to purify many Branch Veins.

Hearing Tian Yuan's words, Blood Dragon and the others were startled, realizing that there might be living beings in the other Earth Veins as well.

After casting a surprised look at the stone man who was still breaking through, the demons respectfully retreated.

Amidst the clanging sounds, many eyes still gathered on Tian Yuan's two stone men from time to time.

The realm of the stone man manifested by the Earth Law finally stopped after breaking into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

From nothing to something, it had stepped directly into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, exactly the same as his own realm.

Tian Yuan was not too surprised; this stone man could be said to be a manifestation of Mount Buzhou's cultivation.

Although Mount Buzhou's Earth Veins were polluted and it had inexplicable shackles upon it, a mere Great Luo was still insufficient to manifest its true strength.

Tian Yuan guessed in his heart that the other party stopping at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was very likely because of him.

His own cultivation had restricted this stone man!

Feeling the pure Earth Law within the other party's body, Tian Yuan was just about to step forward to study it properly when his figure suddenly shook violently.

"Bu... Brother Buzhou, save... save..."

A faint, low moan circled his ears, so infinitesimal that it vanished in a blink.

Stunned, Tian Yuan immediately turned his head to look at Mount Buzhou behind him.

The sacred mountain shook slightly, and the Mysterious Yellow Qi shrouding Mount Buzhou roared and surged, blooming with brilliant rays of light.

"This... what is going on?" Tian Yuan was greatly shocked; he had not misheard, someone was calling out to Mount Buzhou, and it was a female.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tian Yuan immediately sank his consciousness, his vast will enveloping everything; he was Mount Buzhou. After dredging twenty Branch Veins, Mount Buzhou's will had become much stronger.

Tian Yuan clearly felt his own internal disturbance, but he had no clue about that voice from just now.

The chaotic consciousness drifting between heaven and earth blocked everything, leaving him with no way to investigate.

After waiting for a long time, Mount Buzhou returned to calm, and that voice never rang out again.

Within the Earth Vein, Tian Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze filled with irrepressible shock and doubt.

He had previously thought that no living beings existed in this space, but it appeared that was not the case, or perhaps those were not ordinary living beings.

According to the meaning of the words, did Mount Buzhou have brothers and sisters? But how did he not know? Kunlun Mountain? Shouyang Mountain? Or Mount Sumeru? Besides, do mountains have gender distinctions? That faint voice had not finished speaking, but it was clearly calling for help.

Mount Buzhou itself was in a miserable state; if not for his appearance, it would have been knocked flying by a simpleton before long.

Tian Yuan felt a bit of a headache; it seemed this place was not as simple as just the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

Was the call for help because of the stone man before him? The manifestation of the Earth Law allowed the other party's voice to reach here. Using the Law as a medium? Thinking this, Tian Yuan carefully inspected the stone man before him, but other than feeling that the Law was very pure, there were no other abnormalities.

Judging by the current situation, to know whether it was true or not, he could only capture a Great Luo Golden Immortal and bring them in to test it.

With the Purple Heaven Palace preaching, the only Great Luo Golden Immortals on the Primordial World today were likely those few Great Witches.

Capturing a Great Witch of the same realm was too time-consuming; perhaps he could try once the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil was completely restored.

Regardless, he would dredge as many Earth Veins as possible, and when the time came, all mysteries would naturally be solved.

Sweeping a glance at the suspicious demons all around, Tian Yuan appeared within a brand-new Earth Vein.

With a wave of his large hand, a figure slowly emerged; it was none other than Wu Man.

Just as he appeared, Wu Man immediately shot up, throwing a punch toward Tian Yuan.

Mount Buzhou had suddenly bloomed with endless rays of light, and many of the Wu Clan had all rushed out of the Earth Veins, and he was no exception.

With Mount Buzhou's disturbance, as the Pangu Orthodox, they naturally had to look up and kneel in worship.

Who would have thought that as soon as he stood up, he would be shrouded by the Mysterious Yellow Qi; Wu Man knew all too well what this familiar scene meant.

He just hadn't expected that this time, he would see Tian Yuan, that stone man.

Alas, his figure, which had leaped up, was steadily caught in mid-air by Tian Yuan's hand.

"Your strength is not bad, but compared to a Great Witch, there is still some gap!" Facing the glaring Wuman, Tian Yuan wore a smile.

Having dredged many Earth Veins, Wuman's Essence Refining Stage had improved again, but it was a pity he had only stepped into the Golden Immortal realm.

"Great Witch? You, even a Great Witch is impossible!!!" Wuman exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

Over these past thousand years, Tian Yuan had never stopped capturing his clansmen. Could it be that he had even captured a Great Witch?

Tian Yuan did not explain, saying softly: "I have to trouble you again!"

After speaking, his figure vanished, and figures began to fall from the air with *pu pu pu* sounds.

Seeing Tian Yuan vanish in an instant, Wuman felt annoyed in his heart; he did not know how many more clansmen the stone man had captured.

Countless furious roars exploded, and that suppressed anger made even Wuman unable to help but glance sideways.

Just as when he first arrived, Tian Yuan summoned one Witch clansman for each of the remaining ten Earth Veins, distributing the million-strong crowd of Witches into each location.

Although putting all the Witches into one Branch Vein was fast, the efficiency in the later stages would be somewhat low.

To thoroughly dredge an Earth Vein, one needed to purify all the foreign objects within it.

He could not constantly monitor the specific situation of the Earth Vein dredging; spreading them out would maximize efficiency, after all, these fellows were already very fast by nature.

Moreover, he would be going down the mountain later, and at that time, there would also be a constant influx of Witches into them.
