Chapter 37: Catching Enough at Once

"So this is indeed the mission of the Wu Clan!"

On Mount Buzhou in the Primordial Land, Tian Yuan's face was full of joy.

Although he had emerged from his Consciousness Space, his perception had never left the two, Kuafu and Houyi.

He had underestimated the status of Pangu in the hearts of the Wu Clan, and had also slightly underestimated the benefits of the Earth Veins to the Wu Clan.

Houyi and Kuafu were not ordinary members of the Wu Clan; they also had a bit of brains. From their reactions, one could roughly know the situation of the several Ancestral Witches in the future.

Out of consideration for the face of the two Great Witches, Tian Yuan had specifically left Houyi and Kuafu alone within the Main Vein.

The two of them also had gains from clearing the Strange Stone, but it was fundamentally different from that of Wu Man and the others.

The Earth Veins were closely connected to Mount Buzhou, and nothing could escape his perception.

When ordinary members of the Wu Clan like Wu Man cleared the Earth Veins, they could only absorb subtle energy to strengthen their blood and Qi, which was used to temper their physical bodies; the harvest of Kuafu and Houyi was actually the Law.

This discovery, while joyful, also made Tian Yuan clear up a doubt that had always been in his heart.

After the sermon at Purple Heaven Palace, many Innate Sacred beings in the Primordial Land all followed the method of beheading the Three Corpses to become a Saint.

Although the Twelve Ancestral Witches had a Primordial Spirit, it was extremely weak, and they had no magic treasures; there was no doubt they had nothing to carry the Three Corpses.

Yet, in the final great battle of the Witch-Demon Calamity, the Twelve Ancestral Witches all had the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint.

The Wu Clan did not respect Heaven, did not worship Earth, and only honored Pangu; this was truly not false at all, and just like Pangu, they proved the Dao with the Law.

Thinking of the Three Pure Ones formed from the Pangu Primordial Spirit, Tian Yuan shook his head for a moment.

The foundation of the Three Pure Ones was even above the Ancestral Witches, and they enjoyed the most Opening Heaven Merit, but unfortunately, in the end, they were all trapped in the Purple Heaven Palace.

They played a perfect hand of cards into a complete mess, and they didn't even live as comfortably as those two bald donkeys in the Western Region.

However, because of his appearance, the Primordial Land had already undergone great changes. Kuafu and Houyi had both been captured by him, so naturally, they would not fall in the future.

As for the twelve Ancestral Witches, he could only plan slowly. The clearing of the Earth Veins could not do without their participation.

The situation in the three Main Veins was much more serious than in the Branch Veins, with only the areas near Mount Buzhou being slightly better.

A little further away, Strange Stones were densely packed, like meteorites floating in the void, almost blocking the entire passage.

Moreover, the three Main Veins were far larger than the Branch Veins, and the distance they extended was also incomparable to the Branch Veins.

More importantly, the situation of the Earth Veins in the other three directions was even worse, and the turning point might lie with the Wu Clan.

Glancing at a certain place on Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan strode forward.

There was a lazy fellow there, lying on the ground with limbs splayed, gnawing on a Spirit Stone in his mouth.

Tian Yuan did not hide his aura; Gungun flipped up, swallowed the Spirit Stone in his hand like a glutton, and ran up happily.

"Master!"

Calling out loudly, he rubbed against Tian Yuan's calf, being incomparably well-behaved.

Glancing at the simple and honest fellow in front of him, Tian Yuan smiled and said, "How is it? Are you used to life on the mountain?"

Cuteness is innate; some have it, and some don't, and it's impossible for them to have it.

"Used to it! Used to it!" Gungun nodded repeatedly, his small eyes darting around to look at Tian Yuan's calf.

Although he hadn't found anything extremely rare, ordinary heavenly treasures were everywhere, which was much better than the days of the Wu Clan.

Only, seeing him again, he felt that the scent on his master was even more fragrant and mellow.

Gungun couldn't help but stick out his bright red little tongue and gently lick Tian Yuan's smooth calf.

"You silly thing, you are still as gluttonous as ever!" Tian Yuan didn't mind.

He grabbed into the void with his right hand, and a stone the size of a human head, glowing with five-colored light, appeared in his palm.

Smelling the scent, Gungun looked up, his eyes full of burning heat.

"Don't slack off on your cultivation!" Seeing the other's greedy look, Tian Yuan tossed it down lightly.

Gungun, sitting on the ground, hurriedly caught it with both hands. "Thank you, Master!" Tian Yuan smiled and strode away from the scene.

Seeing Tian Yuan leave, Gungun hurriedly hugged the divine stone and began to gnaw on it, his eyes shining.

He had eaten quite a few heavenly treasures over the past few hundred years, but none could compare to what was in front of him.

Descending Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan quickly fled toward the Eastern Land.

The Great Witches Kuafu and Houyi had already been taken; the next step was to capture all the Wu people above the Golden Immortal level in the Houtu Tribe before the Ancestral Witches discovered it.

The Earth Vein blockages far from Mount Buzhou were severe, and only with enough Wu people could the Earth Veins be cleared as quickly as possible.

He had stepped from the early stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal to the middle stage, accumulating the feedback from fifteen Earth Veins.

To break into the late stage, the quantity required would only be greater; only by becoming stronger could he plot against the Ancestral Witches.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches all possessed the Ancestral Witch Body, which was incomparable to Great Witches; to capture them, a mere Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure was not enough.

Even the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who wielded an Innate Supreme Treasure like the Chaos Bell, had failed to defeat the Twelve Ancestral Witches one by one, which was enough to explain a lot.

Perhaps he could defeat the Ancestral Witches, or even severely injure them, but to capture or even kill them—difficult, difficult, difficult!

After stepping into the middle stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal, Tian Yuan's speed became much faster.

This time, Tian Yuan no longer had any scruples; his vast Divine Sense expanded, and all the Wu people above the Golden Immortal level within the coverage were taken away.

In the current Primordial Land, the Great Luo Golden Immortal was already an absolutely formidable existence.

In an instant, he passed by, leaving behind one panicked Wu Clan tribe after another.

However, this time, Tian Yuan did not let go of the Demons he encountered along the way either.

Of course, besides the fact that even a small amount of meat is still meat, the main consideration was the situation of the Wu Clan.

All the powerhouses of the Houtu Tribe had been captured by him; if these Great Demons acted recklessly, the remaining Wu people would suffer.

After taking away those above the Golden Immortal level, the rest could fight and play as they pleased; it would depend on their own abilities.

In over ten years, he arrived at the place where he had first met Houyi.

As his figure swept past, dense tribes appeared in his perception; these were all areas he had not yet developed.

To Tian Yuan's surprise, after only a few years, he saw a vast Wu Clan tribe stretching for ten thousand miles.

Radiating out from this place as the center, it was likewise filled with densely packed small tribes of the Wu Clan.

Among the many mountains and forests connecting the tribes, there were many Wu people walking about.

"This should be the very front of the Houtu Tribe!" Tian Yuan's eyes lit up, his heart filled with immense joy.

Not to mention the numerous small tribes in the surroundings, within this tribe alone, there were hundreds of thousands of Wu people.

Opening his mouth to exhale, the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil transformed into a hazy yellow cloud and wrapped toward the tribe below.

No sooner had he brought it out than he saw a powerful figure rush out, who actually possessed the cultivation of an early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Tian Yuan's eyes brightened; another Great Witch! Besides being experts at dredging Earth Veins, Great Witches were primarily capable of manifesting laws.

After the Space Law and Law of Force were manifested, he could clearly sense the existence of these two types of laws.

If it were not for the sake of capturing more Wu people, he would have been cultivating in peace at Mount Buzhou.

Tian Yuan was just about to step forward, but who would have known that the Great Witch did not recognize the power of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and actually dove headfirst into the yellow clouds.

"Great Witches are all arrogant!" With a mutter, Tian Yuan exerted his full power to drive the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.

Amidst a roar of unwilling fury, the rolling yellow clouds swept past, leaving behind panicked and screaming Wu people.

A Wu Clan tribe numbering in the millions was, in the blink of an eye, more than half captured by him.

Without the slightest pause, Tian Yuan fled toward the numerous tribes scattered about, and he did not leave behind the Wu people walking along the way.

This time, no one blocked him again; he was going to capture enough! (End of this chapter)
