Chapter 72: Breathing Out Postnatal Spiritual Qi

"Father Mountain!"

Huluwa felt Tian Yuan's aura and immediately ran over in excitement.

Patting the little head of the other, Tian Yuan cast his gaze toward the towering Bitter Bamboo.

A long time ago, he had thought about transplanting the Spiritual Roots into the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, but because this place was filled with endless chaotic wills, he had not acted rashly.

The Spiritual Roots had not yet awakened their intelligence, and he did not know if they would be occupied by the free-roaming wills.

Originally, Tian Yuan had intended to ask Huluwa after some time, but he had not expected the other to have already begun acting.

Looking at the scene before him, these Innate Spiritual Roots not only did not fear those wills, but they also seemed capable of purifying and absorbing them.

Stroking his chin, Tian Yuan had a bright glint in his eyes.

Although the will of Buzhou Mountain had strengthened and the free-roaming wills could no longer easily erode the Earth Veins, they still needed to be cleared away eventually.

Only by completely purifying all the chaotic wills in this space could the might of Buzhou Mountain be truly restored.

This was originally a plan for after the Earth Veins were purified; he had not expected it to be put on the schedule ahead of time.

Free-roaming wills darted through the air, and as soon as they entered the light screen before them, they burst on the spot with a 'pop' sound, turning into wisps of faint light that were swallowed by the Bitter Bamboo.

The scene before him could not help but make Tian Yuan think of the Demon Race of the Primordial World.

The Wu Clan could purify the Earth Veins, and even the Spiritual Roots could absorb the free-roaming wills between heaven and earth, so what about the Demon Race? In the current Primordial World, the Witch and Demon Clans were the protagonists of heaven and earth, and for this world, they must also have a significant role.

As for whether they could also clear the Earth Veins? The efficiency of those fellows was simply too low, especially in situations where the Earth Veins were severely blocked; they were simply incomparable to the Wu Clan.

In Tian Yuan's view, the mission of the Demon Race was certainly not to purify the Earth Veins.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the dim sky above.

Di Jun and Taiyi ruled the Primordial Starry Sky; if the Demon Race truly had a great use, it should be above the firmament.

It was a pity that when he went to investigate last time, this Starry Sky felt strange.

Tian Yuan stepped into the light screen, and his eyes immediately brightened again.

Spiritual Qi! Although it was extremely scarce, Tian Yuan's feeling could not be wrong.

Under the shroud of the light screen, faint Spiritual Qi was actually being generated; it was the Bitter Bamboo breathing out Spiritual Qi.

Although this space had mountains and water, it had no vitality at all; they were all illusory.

Apart from the golden-glowing Spiritual Vein, everything else appeared desolate and bleak. The numerous wills darting through the air also gave one a feeling of gloom and deathly silence.

The Bitter Bamboo transplanted here just now was not only unaffected, but it was actually able to breathe out Spiritual Qi.

This sudden discovery once again exceeded Tian Yuan's expectations.

Tian Yuan, feeling surprised and suspicious in his heart, slowly squatted down to sense it carefully, feeling slightly bewildered.

Postnatal Spiritual Qi!

What the Bitter Bamboo breathed out was not Innate Spiritual Qi, but Postnatal Spiritual Qi.

Buzhou Mountain still stood tall, and what flowed in the Earth Veins was also Innate Spiritual Qi; how could the Bitter Bamboo be Postnatal Spiritual Qi? Frowning, Tian Yuan turned slightly: "Huluwa, why is there Postnatal Spiritual Qi?"

Huluwa shook his little head, his face also showing a look of bewilderment.

"I also just moved Xiaozhu here; I don't know why it is like this."

He only instinctively felt that the Spiritual Roots had a significant role in the restoration of Father Mountain; he did not know anything else.

Tian Yuan was stunned at once; Huluwa was an Innate Spiritual Root, and even he did not know.

Come to think of it, he himself was Buzhou Mountain, yet he also did not know about the changes before him.

Tian Yuan was too lazy to rack his brain over things he could not understand; at least it was a great thing for now.

It could not only protect the many Spiritual Roots but also purify the Consciousness Space, killing two birds with one stone.

"Child, go quickly and transplant the Huangzhong Plum, Banana Tree, and all the other Innate Spiritual Roots in." Since it was feasible, it was natural to solve it all at once, so as not to always worry about being robbed at home.

Moving them into this Consciousness Space and having those stone men guard them specifically would ensure no problems occurred.

"Got it!" Huluwa nodded heavily and darted happily toward the Divine Mountain, disappearing in a blink. Being able to help Father Mountain made Huluwa very happy.

Tian Yuan waited on the spot and watched quietly; wills kept rushing over, only to be shattered and absorbed.

In the distance, a light flashed, and a silver-white glowing stone man came bouncing over.

Although the stone man manifested from the law had a good effect on purifying the Earth Veins, having one more or one less did not have much impact on the current Earth Vein project.

The stone man of the Space Law was now, like Tian Yuan, at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

With him guarding the Spiritual Roots, even if the Wu Clan ran out of the Earth Veins, they would not be able to hurt them.

A faint light flashed on the Divine Mountain in the distance, and Huluwa ran over excitedly, carrying the Banana Tree in his hands.

Casually shattering a cluster of wills that darted through the air, Tian Yuan strode forward.

Free-roaming wills surged toward Huluwa and were likewise shattered by his backhand, but they were not absorbed as they were by the Bitter Bamboo.

It seemed that only the Spiritual Root's original form could swallow the free-roaming wills in the air; Huluwa, having transformed into human form, no longer possessed this ability.

To make it convenient for the stone men to guard, Tian Yuan did not choose a place too far away.

Just like the Bitter Bamboo, as soon as it was planted, a faint halo rose up and shrouded the Banana Tree.

Such an eye-catching light immediately caused numerous wills in the air to surge over, rushing toward the Banana Tree one after another.

Those few Banana Leaves wrapped in gale winds swayed gently, and the numerous wills instantly shattered on the spot.

They turned into wisps of faint light and were absorbed by the Banana Tree, and then the shrouding halo expanded by a circle.

"This effect is simply too great!" Tian Yuan was very satisfied in his heart.

Although it was only a small area now, as the light screen continued to expand, the wills attracted would only become more and more numerous.

Over time, the amount of free-roaming wills absorbed would definitely not be a small number.

The only thing that made Tian Yuan somewhat worried was that he did not know if these free-roaming wills would continue to be born.

The Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space was not small, and the sky was gray and dim, so he could not investigate the specifics.

Below the Divine Mountain, the Bitter Bamboo, Banana Tree, Huangzhong Plum, and Immortal Apricot—the four Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots—were lined up, and the four light screens of varying sizes shone brilliantly.

Watching the many wills casting their gazes from all around, Tian Yuan's eyes held anticipation.

As long as enough time was given, the light screen would only grow larger and larger; perhaps in the future, ordinary living beings could also live on this land.

Just at this moment, an exclamation from Huluwa came from behind.

"Father Mountain!"

Tian Yuan was startled and turned to look, just in time to see Huluwa escaping back to the divine mountain.

At this moment, Huluwa was holding the Star Fruit Tree in his hands, his little face full of heartache.

Running closer, Tian Yuan finally saw clearly that a section of a branch on the Star Fruit Tree was pitch-black, and then it turned into powder and dissipated into the air.

"It was those hateful wills in the sky!" Looking at that withered little section of the branch, Huluwa shouted in anger.

It was fortunate that he had jumped back quickly; that wisp of will had been snuffed out by the divine mountain.

"Send it back to Mount Buzhou first!" Tian Yuan took one look and knew what was going on.

Although the Star Fruit Tree was an Innate Spiritual Root, it still had some distance to go before becoming a Supreme Innate Spiritual Root.

As it appeared now, the only things that could be moved into this space were Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots.

Tian Yuan felt some regret, but it was also within his expectations; after all, this had been his concern from the beginning.

A small section of a branch was not a major injury for a Spiritual Root.

After several more attempts, it was indeed as he had thought in his heart: only Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots could support the light screen.
