Chapter 48: The Gods Gather at Mount Buzhou

Outside the Primordial World, many rays of multicolored light flickered, rapidly fleeing toward the Starry Sky.

The Three Pure Ones, bearing the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda above them, were the first to tear through the Chaos and descend into the Primordial World.

Glancing at the surging Chaos behind him, Yuanshi Tianzun said proudly, "Big Brother's supreme treasure is truly remarkable; we can come and go through the turbulent Chaos with ease."

In the Purple Heaven Palace, they, the Three Pure Ones, had been the first to seize their seats, and upon returning, they were still the fastest.

More importantly, while others were in a wretched state, they were strolling leisurely, calm and relaxed.

"Indeed! With this treasure hanging above our heads, one could say that ten thousand techniques cannot invade!" Tongtian also nodded.

This trip to the Chaos was thanks to Big Brother's supreme treasure; otherwise, it would have taken quite a lot of time.

Laozi, who had put away the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, raised his eyes and said with slight surprise, "My heart has felt something; there is an opportunity for me at Mount Buzhou."

He was now at the perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal; for him to have such a premonition, it must be no ordinary object.

Who would have thought that just as his words fell, two other voices sounded from the side.

"Eh! Big Brother, I have also felt something."

"Me as well!"

The Three Pure Ones looked at each other, and their eyes suddenly brightened; it turned out all three of them had an opportunity.

"Good! Let us head to Mount Buzhou immediately!" Laozi nodded, feeling some anticipation in his heart.

The three of them then stopped lingering and, following that premonition, quickly fled toward the Primordial land.

Following closely behind the Three Pure Ones, five figures broke out of the Chaos one after another; they were Di Jun, Taiyi, Fuxi and his sister, and Houtu.

Just as they entered the Primordial World, Nuwa and Taiyi were slightly stunned, their faces showing surprise.

After a brief pause, the five of them headed toward Mount Buzhou without prior agreement.

"Haha! Zhenyuanzi, thanks to your Earth Book, otherwise it would have been quite an effort." Hongyun laughed heartily, his face full of excitement.

Zhenyuanzi glanced at the several figures that had fled past in the distance, and a wave of worry arose in his heart.

His friend was good in every way, but thinking of the scene in the Purple Heaven Palace, Zhenyuanzi said again, "Hongyun, this time returning, definitely—"

He had already said it many times on the way back, but this friend had not taken it to heart at all.

"Wait! Zhenyuanzi, just now the Heavenly Dao manifested; there is an opportunity for me on Mount Buzhou." Hongyun exclaimed, interrupting Zhenyuanzi's lecture.

"An opportunity?" Zhenyuanzi was stunned, looking at Hongyun strangely.

You gave away the great opportunity in the Purple Heaven Palace, and now there is another one? "Indeed! Perhaps it is a spiritual treasure."

"Haha, next time we go to the Purple Heaven Palace, perhaps I won't need your care."

After saying this, Hongyun did not wait for Zhenyuanzi to reply, pulling him along as he flew toward Mount Buzhou.

Zhenyuanzi sighed repeatedly and had no choice but to follow behind with a helpless face, though his peripheral vision caught a figure following closely.

Jieyin and Zhunti, who had broken into the Primordial Starry Sky in a wretched state, looked at each other, a bright light flashing in their eyes.

They had heard clearly just now that there was an opportunity at Mount Buzhou.

Hongyun had just given them an opportunity; could it be that another one was coming?

The two, eyes filled with anticipation, hurriedly followed.

In a valley on Mount Buzhou, the Three Pure Ones looked at the glowing Array before them, full of anticipation.

The three of them had come following that trace of premonition, not expecting that they would all be in this valley.

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones looked up simultaneously, all of them frowning unconsciously.

In the sky in the distance, five figures descended; they were all acquaintances from the Purple Heaven Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun was about to speak, but who knew that two more figures were fleeing from the horizon.

"Haha, I didn't expect that fellow Daoists all have opportunities here; it seems there must be something extraordinary in this valley!" Before Hongyun's figure had even arrived, his clear laughter had already reached them. The Three Pure Ones looked at each other without speaking, their curiosity about the object in the valley growing even stronger.

Now that more than ten Great Luo Golden Immortals had arrived, what kind of heaven and earth spiritual treasure must be in the valley.

Glancing at Jieyin and Zhunti who had landed in the distance, Zhenyuanzi transmitted his voice, "Hongyun, do not miss this opportunity later."

The current situation was no different from that in the Purple Heaven Palace.

This friend of his truly had deep fortune, but he just hoped he wouldn't give away the opportunity in his hands again.

"Rest assured! This is my opportunity; how could I let others take it!" Hongyun waved his hand, his gaze fixed tightly on the valley below.

He vaguely felt it was a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, and it just so happened he didn't have any powerful magic treasures.

"Senior Brother, it is an Innate Array; the object inside must be a spiritual treasure." Zhunti whispered in exclamation, his eyes burning.

The array patterns in the valley rose; it seemed the time had come, and the Array was about to dissipate.

Jieyin only shook his head and did not speak. The Western Region was barren, and he was naturally longing for it in his heart.

However, apart from Kunpeng, who was cowering to the side, the few people on the scene were not easy to deal with.

At this moment, inside the Innate Array in the valley, a strange will emanated from the quietly swaying Gourd Vine; it spread outward, infiltrating the surrounding Innate Array.

Tian Yuan stood to the side, his brows furrowed deeply.

Hundreds of years ago, the Gourd Vine showed abnormalities; after he carefully examined it, he discovered a mysterious Dao seal within its Primordial Spirit.

Over these years, he had used many methods and tried a hundred ways, but could not expel it, and the Dao seal had no reaction either.

Yet, just a moment ago, the Dao seal cracked, and a strange will surged out, spreading toward the entire valley.

Under the shroud of this will, the Innate Array gradually disintegrated. He was actually unable to move from this place; the Gourd Vine seemed to be fixed in the valley.

That strange will was even stronger than the will of Mount Buzhou! He could only wait now, waiting for the Innate Array to passively dissipate.

Once the Array was broken and the will faded, he might be able to take the Innate Gourd Vine away.

In the entire Primordial World, the only one who could have such means was likely Hongjun in the Purple Heaven Palace.

Thinking this way, Hongjun must have started merging with the Dao ten thousand years ago, perhaps even longer.

The preaching in the Purple Heaven Palace could only be said to be the beginning of Hongjun's schemes against the Three Pure Ones and the others.

Scanning those figures one by one, Tian Yuan guessed in his heart that this might not only be aimed at the Gourd Vine, but also a calculation against the Three Pure Ones and the others.

Tian Yuan remembered that of the seven gourds on the Gourd Vine, except for the final Chaos Gourd which was taken by Hongjun, the rest fell into the hands of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Taiyi, and Hongyun.

It is a pity that the endings of these six people were not very good.

Nuwa became a Saint but retreated to guard Chaos, no longer entering the Primordial World. The Three Pure Ones consumed the Saint-Slaying Pill and sat alone in Purple Heaven Palace.

Hongyun and Taiyi were even more miserable, directly dying and having their Dao dissipated.

The Gourd Vine is an Innate Spiritual Root; severing its origin must surely result in being entangled by great karma. Furthermore, Tian Yuan guessed in his heart that the Gourd Vine might perhaps bear the mission of guarding Mount Buzhou.

"Could the matter of the Earth Vein also be related to that person?" Tian Yuan pondered in his heart.

Pangu's Opening of Heaven involved three thousand Chaos Demon Gods; it is impossible for it to be such a weak world.

Outside the Array, the Three Pure Ones and the others stared intently at the valley, their eyes filled with anticipation.

The array patterns gradually dimmed, the Innate Array shrouding the valley was dissipating, and a rich Dao Rhyme had already begun to overflow.

Before the crowd could even look closely, they suddenly saw nine-colored rays of light surging up from the valley, accompanied by the rising of dense auspicious energy.

"It is a Supreme Innate Spiritual Root!" Zhenyuanzi exclaimed first, sensing the same origin of the aura.

The breathing of the Three Pure Ones and the others also hitched; they saw a Gourd Vine shrouded in Mysterious Yellow Qi.

It was just that within the mist-shrouded valley, there seemed to be a burly figure, but no one cared about it at all.
