Chapter 251: Tongtian Enters the Consciousness Space

Tian Yuan, having graciously accepted Tongtian's salute, replied solemnly: "To benefit the Primordial World is the duty of all living things; the heavens and earth belong to us all, so it should be as such."

With such a good opportunity, Tian Yuan naturally would not forget the most important purpose of his visit.

Tongtian is one of the Three Pure Ones, a figure of great significance in the Primordial World.

If he could obtain his assistance, it would absolutely save a great deal of time.

"Fellow Daoist is truly righteous; Tongtian feels ashamed of his own inferiority!" Tongtian said as he rose, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

He had already held Tian Yuan in high regard, and now, having just met him, his favor had increased even further.

Thinking of his own past actions, Tongtian could not help but feel a surge of guilt in his heart.

As one of the Three Pure Ones, he had spent almost all the long years since his transformation in quiet cultivation on Kunlun Mountain, rarely concerning himself with the affairs of the Primordial World, let alone working to benefit this world.

Tian Yuan, this stone man from Mount Buzhou, who might even be an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, was actually concerned for the Primordial World.

Because he had captured the Witch and Demon Clans to dredge the Earth Veins, the majesty of Mount Buzhou had grown immensely, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had surged, and even the barren Northern Land had begun to show signs of spiritual recovery.

In the end, he had even passed down the Hunyuan Dao without holding anything back, benefiting all living beings in the entire Primordial World.

Improving the environment of heaven and earth while never forgetting all living beings—what right did that Dao Ancestor in Purple Heaven Palace have to compare himself to Tian Yuan?

He suddenly felt some regret in his heart for not having gone to see Tian Yuan sooner.

With these many thoughts racing through his mind, Tongtian hurriedly continued: "Fellow Daoist has come from afar, so you are a guest. Please!"

After speaking, he gestured for Tian Yuan to head toward Biyou Palace.

Tian Yuan was also very satisfied with Tongtian's warm hospitality.

Given the current situation, there was no need to say more; Tongtian would certainly accompany him to the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space. This trip was going even more smoothly than he had imagined.

However, as Tian Yuan swept his gaze around, a flicker of suspicion crossed the depths of his eyes.

Tongtian's attainment of the Dao had triggered such a heaven-shaking phenomenon, yet Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had not appeared.

Kunlun Mountain and Shouyang Mountain were much closer to Golden Turtle Island than Mount Buzhou was.

They had been chatting for quite a while now; it made no sense that they had not yet arrived.

Although Tongtian and Yuanshi Tianzun had developed differences due to their teachings, their true split did not occur until the Fengshen Calamity.

And when it came down to it, it was because of the Great Teaching Luck that Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had united to deal with Tongtian.

The Jie Sect's luck was like a rainbow, with ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage, which had infringed upon the interests of the other Saints' Great Teachings.

Regardless of whether there was any plotting by Hongjun involved, at least on the surface, it was the Great Teaching Luck that had triggered the Fengshen Calamity.

But now, because of his intervention, the Witches and Demons had not fought, the luck gathered at the Demon Court had all scattered among the ten thousand races of the Primordial World, and the Human Race had yet to rise to greatness.

Although there were conflicts within the Three Pure Ones, given the current situation in the Primordial World, it should not be like this.

After all, with Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals appearing one after another, the Three Pure Ones should be standing together against a common enemy.

Moreover, even if there were differences between Yuanshi and Tongtian, why had even Laozi not appeared?

Could it be that the relationship between the Three Pure Ones was no longer as solid as he had imagined, or perhaps at this very moment, the Three Pure Ones already had their own separate plans?

The problems between them only erupted during the Fengshen Calamity.

This sudden discovery gave Tian Yuan a very ominous feeling; there must be a great secret regarding Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Originally, he had wanted to use Tongtian Jiaozhu to influence the thinking of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, but now it seemed there was no hope for that.

If the Three Pure Ones already had their own separate schemes at this time, then the later Fengshen Calamity likely would not be so simple.

He clearly remembered that in the Fengshen Calamity, the Jie Sect was defeated, and Tongtian had intended to refine the Earth Wind Water Fire to reopen the world, which had led to the appearance of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Not only had Tongtian taken the Saint-Slaying Pill, but Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had been no exception.

In the end, the renowned Three Pure Ones were confined to Purple Heaven Palace, becoming legends of the Primordial World, and even the Chan Sect and the Ren Sect gradually faded away between heaven and earth.

In the battle of the Fengshen, the Three Pure Ones were all losers.

Although Hongjun was a Chaos Demon God and had long since made many plans for the Primordial World, the Three Pure Ones were likewise extraordinary; it was impossible for them not to have noticed anything.

After all, among the Six Saints of Heaven and Earth, Nuwa had fled to Chaos after becoming a Saint and had never even concerned herself with the Human Race; she must have known something, so it made no sense for the Three Pure Ones to be kept in the dark.

Thinking this way, it seemed that after the sermons at Purple Heaven Palace, or perhaps after becoming Saints, the Three Pure Ones had already formed their own plans.

With these thoughts in his mind, Tian Yuan nodded and strode toward Biyou Palace.

Regardless of the specific state of the relationship between the Three Pure Ones, Tian Yuan was still very satisfied that he could win over Tongtian for the time being.

Even if Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had their own plans, his original intention had always been to benefit the Primordial World.

If heaven and earth were strong, it would not only benefit him but all things and all living beings, and the Three Pure Ones were also among them.

From beginning to end, his opponent had always been the Dao Ancestor in Purple Heaven Palace, unless Yuanshi and Laozi were being deceived by Hongjun.

Yuanshi Tianzun might be somewhat dangerous, but Laozi, the leader of the Three Pure Ones, should have no such possibility.

Tongtian did not know what Tian Yuan was thinking and enthusiastically welcomed him into Biyou Palace.

Duobao Daoren, who was outside the palace, saw this with surprise in his eyes, though some also looked toward the direction of the Primordial Land.

Because even the Yuan Ancestor from Mount Buzhou had come, yet their two Martial Uncles were still nowhere to be seen.

Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts, and they were soon completely immersed in the joy of Tongtian's breakthrough.

Their Master had broken through and established a new foundation, his Dao techniques far surpassing what they were before, and now even the Yuan Ancestor had come to offer congratulations in person; how could they not be excited?

"Senior Brother Duobao, what is the background of this Yuan Ancestor, to be so extraordinary?"

"Indeed! We came from the Primordial Land, and the road was filled with legends about him."

"Capturing the Ancestral Witches, suppressing the Demon Court, and not even holding the Grandmaster in his eyes—I have admired him for a long time."

Amidst the joy, many Jie Sect disciples could not help but be curious about Tian Yuan's origins.

For some time now, the most circulated stories in the Primordial World had been about Tian Yuan's deeds.

Yet, for such a powerful existence, very few people knew Tian Yuan's specific roots.

They did not believe that an ordinary stone man could achieve this level, so some Jie Sect disciples looked toward their Senior Brother, Duobao Daoren.

Duobao Daoren had the highest level of cultivation and had once wandered the Primordial Land; he had visited Mount Buzhou many times in the past and might know something.

Meeting the gazes looking over from all around, Duobao shook his head and replied: "The Yuan Ancestor is mysterious and extraordinary; how could we possibly know of him?"

Just as Duobao Daoren said, Tian Yuan flourished after the preaching at Purple Heaven Palace.

In the years past, one had never heard news of the other party in the Primordial World.

Seeing the many disciples all around still whispering, Duobao Daoren hurriedly said solemnly: "Quiet! The Yuan Ancestor has come in person to Golden Turtle Island; do not lose the etiquette of a Saint's disciples."

Although his Master and the Yuan Ancestor had entered Biyou Palace, both were no ordinary people, and the scene outside the hall was naturally clear to them at a glance. Discussing so wantonly outside Biyou Palace, Duobao felt it was still somewhat rude.

The initial shock was one thing, but excessive chatter would lose his Master some dignity.

The many disciples all around heard this and immediately quieted down one by one, not daring to speak recklessly, only casting their gazes toward Biyou Palace.

Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, and the other Personal Disciples were likewise watching the inside with curiosity.

And at this moment inside Biyou Palace, Tian Yuan and Tongtian were also chatting quite happily.

Just as Tian Yuan intended to open his mouth to invite Tongtian to take a trip to Mount Buzhou, Tongtian spoke first: "Fellow Daoist, I have heard that the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space is quite marvelous; can one observe the Earth Veins of the world?"

In the entire Primordial World, there was no one who was not curious about the Consciousness Space.

It was only because of Tian Yuan's act of capturing the Witch and Demon Clans that no one dared to go there easily.

Now, with his favor for Tian Yuan greatly increased, and coupled with the fact that it was the Witch-Demon who dredged and purified the Earth Veins, allowing the Primordial World to continuously expand, Tongtian naturally thought of going inside to explore.

Hearing this, Tian Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, nodded slightly, and replied: "Correct! Not only can the Earth Veins be seen, but Mount Buzhou, Kunlun Mountain, and others are all manifested there; it is not much different from the Primordial land."

Seeing the wonder in Tongtian's eyes, Tian Yuan continued: "If Fellow Daoist is interested, we can go and take a look now."

Tongtian Jiaozhu was one of the Three Pure Ones, not an ordinary Innate Sacred.

Tian Yuan guessed that if Tongtian entered the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, there would definitely be a great reaction inside.

Compared to Tongtian's curiosity, Tian Yuan was likewise somewhat impatient in his heart.

Tongtian, sitting quietly to the side, had his eyes light up, and he replied with a face full of smiles: "Good! But I must first give instructions to the disciples in the sect."

Having said this, Tongtian lightly flicked his Daoist robe, and suddenly eight figures appeared below the hall.

In front were one man and three women, and behind were likewise one man and three women; the leading Daoist was fair and plump, the woman beside him was dignified and elegant, and the remaining two both had solemn expressions.

As for the man at the back, he had a rugged face with a full beard, looking to have a forthright personality. The three women beside him had somewhat similar features, but at first glance, their personalities were distinctly different; they must be the famous Sanxiao of the Jie Sect and Zhao Gongming.

Tian Yuan did not expect that the Primordial World had already undergone such great changes, yet these few people had still become the Personal Disciples of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

The few who appeared were only slightly stunned before hurriedly bowing respectfully: "Greetings, Master!"

Most looked straight ahead with solemn expressions, but Bixiao was casting sidelong glances at Tian Yuan.

"Why have you not yet greeted the Yuan Ancestor!" Tongtian's ethereal voice came, though his pair of Chaos eyes glanced slightly at Bixiao standing at the back.

Tongtian naturally knew the personality of this disciple; he himself did not mind, but Tian Yuan was, after all, a guest from afar.

However, from Tian Yuan's face, Tongtian did not sense any displeasure; instead, he was curiously observing the few people in the hall.

Tongtian felt a bit suspicious in his heart, but he did not think too much about it.

"Greetings, Yuan Ancestor!"

Duobao Daoren dared not have any doubts and likewise bowed respectfully one by one.

Tian Yuan, sitting quietly at the head, nodded slightly, his face revealing nothing.

Having come to the Primordial World for so many years, what Innate Sacred had he not seen? Whether it was Sanxiao or Zhao Gongming, in his eyes now, they were just juniors.

Tongtian's indifferent gaze swept over the eight people in the hall and he ordered: "This Master intends to take a trip to Mount Buzhou; you all remain on the island to cultivate with a calm heart, and do not be lazy!"

Summoning the few to come, besides having matters to instruct, was naturally also to let them become familiar faces in front of Tian Yuan.

Duobao and the others below naturally dared not have any objections and were just about to accept the order when an indifferent voice sounded from the head.

"Fellow Daoist! Since we are going, why not lead a few disciples to accompany us? It can also let them broaden their horizons." As he spoke, Tian Yuan turned to look at Tongtian Jiaozhu beside him.

Tongtian's few Personal Disciples were all Great Luo Golden Immortals, and more importantly, that Zhao Gongming possessed the Laws missing from the Consciousness Space.

He could not speak directly about the manifestation of the Three Thousand Laws, so he could only let Tongtian take all the disciples along.

Although these eight Personal Disciples of the Jie Sect could not compare to the Innate Sacred, they all had good foundations, especially Zhao Gongming and his sisters.

Duobao Daoren and the others, who were about to accept the order, froze in their movements, looked at Tian Yuan in surprise, and then immediately looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu one by one.

They did not know what their Master was going to Mount Buzhou for. But no matter what he was doing, being able to accompany their Master was a great honor.

Immediately, their gazes became expectant, and Duobao Daoren at the front was no exception.

Cultivating the Hunyuan Dao, they all knew that there was a mysterious space on Mount Buzhou, and there were great opportunities there.

Tian Yuan being able to become so extraordinary had an inseparable connection with that space.

Their Master would definitely go to that space on this trip, so how could this not make them excited?

Tongtian, who was about to leave with Tian Yuan, was stunned; he did not expect Tian Yuan to say this.

After only a moment of hesitation, Tongtian responded loudly: "Since Fellow Daoist invites them, that is their good fortune. Why have you not yet thanked the Yuan Ancestor?"

As he spoke, Tongtian Jiaozhu looked at the eight people in the hall with his pair of Chaos eyes, while simultaneously sending his voice outside Biyou Palace.

Tongtian had also heard many rumors about the Consciousness Space.

Hongyun, Nuwa, and that group of Ancestral Witches had all obtained good fortune inside; Tongtian was still very happy that Tian Yuan allowed his disciples to go.

Having attained the Dao today, his two elder brothers had not appeared, and Tongtian still felt somewhat disappointed in his heart. One day, he would not only prove himself, but also let his disciples prove that his teachings were not wrong.

Now, going to the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space was absolutely a great opportunity for them.

Duobao Daoren and the others, whose hearts were already burning, hurriedly thanked him loudly: "Many thanks, Yuan Ancestor!"

From the words of their Master, Tongtian Jiaozhu, they already understood that this trip to Mount Buzhou was not simple.

Tian Yuan nodded slightly and looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu beside him.

The two slowly stood up, took a step forward, and simultaneously disappeared from the main hall.

At the same time, the many Jie Sect disciples gathered outside the hall were all stunned, bowed toward Biyou Palace, and then dispersed, returning to their respective caves to cultivate in silence.

As the stars shifted, Duobao and the others only saw colorful light surging before their eyes.

After only a few breaths of time, their vision brightened, and a vast, ancient momentum immediately rushed toward them.

Mount Buzhou; so quickly they had crossed the East Sea, traversed the Eastern Land, and arrived at Mount Buzhou.

Before they could even examine the scene around them, they felt a vast, ancient will descend upon them.

A dim light flickered, and when they opened their eyes again, they had already arrived in a slightly gloomy world.

But they had no time to observe, as all of them widened their eyes, gazing at the golden, towering divine mountain in the distance.

Just by taking a single look, an endless, ancient aura surged toward them, causing their minds to reel.

Upon this first meeting, they immediately understood: Mount Buzhou, that was indeed Mount Buzhou.

They had come directly to the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

Standing in the air beside them, Tongtian Jiaozhu was likewise looking at the towering Heavenly Pillar in the distance with surprise, his heart shaken! (End of this chapter)
