Chapter 68: The Chaos Gourd

In Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun gazed at the strange phenomena in the firmament, their faces revealing astonishment.

Hongyun remained silent for a long while before speaking softly: "Zhenyuanzi, when we took form, we didn't have such vast phenomena, did we?"

Such a grand celebration signified that the other party was deeply favored by Heaven and Earth.

The two of them could be considered among the first batch of Innate Sacred beings; what kind of existence could be enough to surpass them?

Zhenyuanzi nodded, his gaze looking far off in the direction of Mount Buzhou.

They could sense that the source of the phenomena was on Mount Buzhou.

Thinking of this, a figure unconsciously flashed through Zhenyuanzi's mind.

An Innate Spiritual Root, that Gourd Vine which hung seven Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures! "Do you think it could be that Gourd Vine?" Hongyun turned his head, thinking of the Spiritual Root that Tian Yuan had rescued.

There were many Spiritual Roots on Mount Buzhou, but that Gourd Vine was the most extraordinary, and they had just heard Tian Yuan say some time ago that it was about to take form.

"It likely is!" Zhenyuanzi nodded.

"Phew! It's fortunate that Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan took action back then, otherwise I would have committed a grave error." Hongyun's expression was filled with emotion.

To cut off the path of an Innate Sacred being, especially one so blessed by Heaven and Earth, would have resulted in karma of no small consequence.

Zhenyuanzi naturally understood what Hongyun was thinking and immediately asked with some curiosity: "Since that is the case, why did you all have that intuition back then?"

If it were only Hongyun, that would be one thing, but Nuwa, Taiyi, and even the Three Pure Ones had all intended to go.

Among the Innate Sacred beings of the Primordial World, there was no doubt that the Three Pure Ones had the deepest foundations.

Transformed from the Pangu Primordial Spirit, enjoying Opening Heaven Merit, and deeply favored by Heaven and Earth, there was no reason for them to be like that.

"I do not know either!" Hongyun shook his head, feeling somewhat bewildered in his heart.

The intuition from back then was still vivid in his mind; it was indeed a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, indicating a great opportunity for him on Mount Buzhou.

Zhenyuanzi's face was somber; he was likewise unable to explain this phenomenon.

As dignified Great Luo Golden Immortals and Innate Sacred beings, they certainly wouldn't be mistaken; could it be that Heaven and Earth were wrong?

With a soft sigh, Zhenyuanzi said: "Time is pressing; we should focus on quiet cultivation to await the Second Sermon at Purple Heaven Palace."

Whether it was Hongyun's act of yielding his seat or the establishment of the Demon Court, the chaos in the Primordial World had already begun; the top priority was to increase their strength as quickly as possible.

Hongyun had originally wanted to go to Mount Buzhou to take a look; if it were truly the case, he could also offer congratulations and thank Tian Yuan.

Hearing Zhenyuanzi say this, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress the thought of going.

He would make a trip to Mount Buzhou after returning from the Second Sermon at Purple Heaven Palace.

The two spoke no more, and their figures vanished into the air.

Such heaven-shaking phenomena naturally drew the astonishment of the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and a host of other Innate Sacred beings.

However, with the Second Sermon at Purple Heaven Palace imminent, no one went to the Primordial World to investigate, and all remained in their respective dojos for quiet cultivation.

At this moment, in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, Tian Yuan looked at Huluwa before him with excitement.

Just as he had thought, following the response of the Mount Buzhou will just now, Huluwa could also enter this space.

He did not need to carry him; he could actively communicate with the will of Mount Buzhou. Perhaps this was the fundamental reason why that person had racked their brains to eliminate the Gourd Vine.

And with the appearance of Huluwa, Tian Yuan felt several types of laws manifesting.

This was also within Tian Yuan's expectations; many Innate Divine Thunders had surged during the heavenly tribulation of taking form. Unlike the Flat Peach, Ginseng Fruit, Fusang Tree, and other Innate Spiritual Roots, the Gourd Vine was not a single-attribute Spiritual Root.

The only thing that made Tian Yuan regretful was that there were no Laws of Creation among those many laws.

"It's all the aura of Father Mountain!" Huluwa looked around, his face full of joy.

Compared to the outside on Mount Buzhou, he could feel a thick aura of Father Mountain in this space, almost completely enveloping him; this feeling was very comfortable. "Not bad, this is the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, but unfortunately, it has been eroded by many mixed consciousnesses, and even the Earth Veins are severely blocked." Tian Yuan looked toward the Primordial World.

One hundred and eight Branch Veins of the Eastern Land had now been mostly cleared, but of the three Main Veins, only the one in the very center had moved a tiny bit.

He did not know how much longer it would take to completely purify the Eastern Earth Vein, and right now, this space was filled with Tribulation Qi, which severely slowed down the progress.

"Don't worry, Father Mountain, Wa'er will help Father Mountain together in the future." Huluwa tilted his head and replied with a firm face.

Tian Yuan nodded; he still had great faith in Huluwa, who had a resonance with Mount Buzhou.

Even if he went everywhere to catch the Wu Clan just like him, it could greatly shorten the time for clearing the veins.

Seeming to think of something, Huluwa said repeatedly: "By the way, Father Mountain, there is still some Nine Heavens Breathing Soil left, for you!"

As he spoke, Huluwa took the Treasure Gourd from his waist and poured it gently; a small handful of golden-tinged yellow soil fell into his palm—it was exactly the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.

He had absorbed most of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to condense his physical body, and now only this remained.

Tian Yuan was stunned, then his face filled with joy; he had forgotten about it himself, and Huluwa had not mentioned it.

"Good, good, good!" Tian Yuan did not stand on ceremony.

Huluwa had said earlier that when he took form, he would give all the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to him.

Tian Yuan took it gently and opened his mouth to inhale; immediately, a rich nine-colored radiance bloomed from his chest.

The two were originally one, and Tian Yuan clearly felt them merging.

This Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure would be able to fully recover before long, and by then, it would greatly increase his strength.

As for Nuwa creating humans, that was a matter for the future.

Tian Yuan's gaze swept over the Treasure Gourd in Huluwa's palm; that was the last purple-black gourd, but it seemed a little different.

Seeing Tian Yuan's gaze, Huluwa immediately raised his little head and shouted excitedly: "Father Mountain, this Treasure Gourd and the Gourd Vine are both very remarkable treasures, especially this Treasure Gourd; it is very powerful, look."

Having said that, Huluwa pulled out the Gourd Vine from his waist and handed it along with the gourd in his hand to Tian Yuan.

Tian Yuan took it casually; the Gourd Vine was grayish-black, with the power of the Five Elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—lingering around it.

It could capture anything within the Five Elements; it was a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure for binding and grabbing people—a good treasure.

After returning the Gourd Vine to Huluwa, Tian Yuan looked at the Treasure Gourd.

It was shaped like the seventh gourd on the Gourd Vine, only its color also carried a slight grayish-black tint.

Tian Yuan pried open the gourd stopper and took a slight peek inside, immediately revealing astonishment on his face.

Lightning flashed, and thunder of various colors ran and raged; it was exactly the host of Innate Divine Thunders he had seen during the earlier heavenly tribulation of taking form.

No wonder this little fellow looks down on the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil; these Innate Divine Thunders are all saturated with fierce killing intent.

Under a barrage of wild bombardment, how could ordinary living beings resist? If they were sucked inside, it would be even more dire.

Two Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures, both offensive and defensive, are truly excellent Dharma treasures.

Tian Yuan, who was just about to withdraw his gaze, suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly. Beneath the flashing thunder, a cloud-like gray vortex was floating; that was... Chaos! Chaos Law! Tian Yuan took a deep breath and looked up at Huluwa: "Is that the Chaos Law?"

The Chaos Law, one of the Five Supreme Laws!

Huluwa lifted his little head even higher and replied excitedly: "That's right, this Treasure Gourd is also called the Chaos Gourd, it is the most powerful!"

The Innate Divine Thunder rages; if it sinks to the bottom of the gourd, it can be transformed by the Huntun Zhiqi and become one with Chaos.
