Chapter 51: Yuanshi Tianzun is Enraged

Watching her brothers and sister depart, Houtu chose a direction at random and walked along slowly.

Gungun followed behind, clearly somewhat distracted.

He opened his mouth several times as if to say something, but in the end, he still lowered his head.

"To think this little fellow is so anxious!"

Houtu naturally noticed Gungun's state, but she was not in a hurry.

This was not just due to the resonance of the bloodlines from Kuafu and the others, but also the scene in that valley.

A single Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure was enough to make many Innate Sacreds fight tooth and nail.

That the stone man could actually restrain himself from the seven Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure gourds seemed inconceivable to Houtu.

Although she did not know why the stone man was connected to Mount Buzhou, the other party was likely a kind-hearted creature.

As Houtu was thinking this, her figure paused, and she looked ahead with slight surprise.

On the solid mountain body, a familiar figure slowly rose; it was precisely the stone man she had seen not long ago.

Although she already knew this stone man was extraordinary, such a silent and stealthy approach still made Houtu feel alarmed.

There was no fluctuation of energy in the air, and she could not see through the other party's cultivation realm.

Great Luo Golden Immortal perfection?

If it were only this realm, why did he not head to Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the Dao? "You finally—"

Houtu spoke first, but before she could finish, she saw the stone man before her let out a cry of surprise, his figure diving back into the earth and vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Houtu stood stunned on the spot, her eyes somewhat blank; she could not understand what the stone man was doing.

Sensing carefully, just like in that valley, she could not detect any energy fluctuations from the other party at all.

Seeing Tian Yuan appear, the incredibly nervous Gungun felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

On a cliff not far away, a Banana Tree swayed in the wind, emitting a faint Dao Rhyme.

The massive Banana Leaf was wrapped in gale winds, with lightning flickering; it was truly extraordinary.

"It is a bit inferior to the Innate Gourd Vine, but it is still good!" Laozi lightly stroked his long beard, a smile on his face.

There were many Spiritual Roots on Mount Buzhou, but not many could pique their interest.

They had not expected that in just a short while, the three of them would have a harvest.

"This Banana Leaf looks extraordinary, but it is a pity that only one has fully matured." Tongtian also nodded.

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and said dismissively, "It is no matter; we shall move the entire plant and plant it on Kunlun Mountain for ten thousand years, and it will be about the same."

Having just lost three Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures, he had to take this Banana Tree back to Kunlun Mountain.

After saying this, Yuanshi Tianzun strode toward the Banana Tree on the cliff wall.

Tongtian was slightly taken aback; he did not speak, but instead looked at Laozi.

The place where a Spiritual Root naturally grows is naturally the most suitable for its growth; moving it rashly might be improper.

But before Laozi could speak, a cry of surprise from Yuanshi Tianzun came from over there.

Tongtian hurriedly turned to look; on that cliff wall where gale winds were howling, a figure had actually emerged.

The six-zhang-tall yellowish stone man was the very fellow they had encountered a moment ago.

Glancing at that Banana Tree, a clear look of astonishment appeared on Tongtian's face.

"The luck is truly enviable!" Tian Yuan looked at the Three Pure Ones in the distance, unable to help but sigh at the three men's good fortune.

He had originally intended to see Houtu, but who would have thought the Three Pure Ones would find the Banana Tree so quickly.

There were many Spiritual Roots on Mount Buzhou, but few compared to the Banana Tree; unfortunately, they were all owned by others now.

Ordinary Spiritual Roots did not matter, as he could not guard them all, but those few could not be lost. Amidst the astonishment of Tongtian and Laozi, and the angry gaze of Yuanshi Tianzun, Tian Yuan lifted his right hand and took the piece of the cliff wall.

He himself was Mount Buzhou, so he naturally knew clearly where was most suitable for the Banana Tree to live.

"Evil creature! How dare you!" Yuanshi Tianzun was furious! Losing the Innate Gourd Vine was one thing, but now this stone man had moved the Banana Tree away as well; how could he not be enraged.

The furious Yuanshi Tianzun once again sacrificed the Three Treasures Ruyi.

Brilliant auspicious light descended, and the mountain rocks shattered, but there was no sign of the stone man in the air.

He flew into the high sky, looking in all directions, his Divine Sense sweeping out rapidly. Just like before, there was nowhere to be found.

"Big Brother!" Tongtian's face was dark, and he was deeply shocked in his heart.

Previously, they had all thought the stone man and the Innate Gourd Vine were symbiotic, but now it seemed that was not the case.

If that were not so, how could the other party appear inside the Innate Array?

The Innate Array contained the great momentum of heaven and earth; human power could hardly break it, and it only dissipated on its own.

He had mysteriously appeared inside the array, happened to take the Gourd Vine away, and now had appeared here just as coincidentally.

That stone man was not simple! "The Primordial World is vast beyond measure, and creatures are countless; how could we know everything." Although Laozi said this, deep within his calm eyes, a trace of shock remained.

Hearing his Big Brother say this, Tongtian frowned.

A thought flashed through his mind inexplicably: these Spiritual Roots all belonged to this stone man.

But thinking about it, he felt it was laughable; this was Mount Buzhou, formed from the spine of Father God Pangu, how could it be claimed by others?

"Big Brother! The Spiritual Root has been snatched away again, why are you just sitting there?" Yuanshi Tianzun flew back, his mood extremely poor.

The Gourd Vine was gone, and the Banana Tree was gone; he had not encountered such bad luck since he took human form.

They, the Three Pure Ones, were formed from the Pangu Primordial Spirit, enjoyed Opening Heaven Merit, and were favored by heaven and earth; how could someone intercept their opportunities?

Laozi did not respond, but said softly, "We had best return to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate in peace; you two must break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak as soon as possible, in preparation for the Dao Ancestor's second sermon."

The stone man doing it once was an accident, but doing it twice in a row was the other party's ability.

It would be difficult for them to gain anything more on Mount Buzhou.

"Big Brother!" Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned; he had not expected his Big Brother to ignore it entirely.

Two Spiritual Roots, and although their origins were extraordinary, they did not have many magic treasures worth mentioning in their hands.

Laozi did not speak again and fled directly toward Kunlun Mountain; staying behind was just a waste of time.

"Second Brother! Big Brother's words are very true; that stone man is extremely bizarre, and for now, we should prioritize listening to the sermon at Purple Heaven Palace." Tongtian nodded and earnestly advised.

The first sermon at Purple Heaven Palace spoke of the Dao of Great Luo; Big Brother successfully stepped into the Great Luo Golden Immortal perfection, while they also broke through to the late stage.

The Second Sermon, three thousand years later, will speak of the Essence Refining Stage after Great Luo.

They must reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak before the next sermon, as that is when the gains will be the greatest.

Although he was angry in his heart, Yuanshi Tianzun was also helpless.

How could he not know the reason behind it? It was just that having their opportunities repeatedly snatched away by a stone man truly shamed the reputation of the Three Pure Ones.

With Tongtian pulling and dragging him, the two quickly chased after Laozi.

In that forest, Houtu was puzzled by the stone man's sudden disappearance. Who would have thought that before long, the other party would emerge from the ground again.

Just like before, he was elusive, without the slightest ripple of energy.

Houtu even suspected that if the stone man appeared behind her, she might not even be able to detect it.

Looking at the sacred and dignified woman before him, Tian Yuan began to feel anticipation in his heart.

Persuading Houtu is the first step to taking down the entire Wu Clan! (End of this chapter)
