Chapter 86: The Decision of the Ancestral Witches

Tian Yuan disappeared, just like that, slowly sinking into Mount Buzhou, and not a trace of his aura could be felt anymore.

At this very moment, the many Ancestral Witches finally understood why they had been unable to find the other party earlier.

Gonggong also realized why the green python had previously said that the aura of stone people was everywhere on Mount Buzhou.

This stone person, Tian Yuan, was actually able to merge into one with Mount Buzhou.

A spirit of Mount Buzhou? A manifestation of Mount Buzhou? Or something else of Father God? As the group of Ancestral Witches stood stunned in the field, many thoughts raced through their minds, leaving only the image of Tian Yuan casually gathering the will of Father God.

That was the will of Father God, yet the other party could actually mobilize it so casually.

It was likely because of the will of Father God that Tian Yuan could easily take away the heart of Father God, and even cultivate an Ancestral Witch Body.

Gonggong panted heavily, saying indignantly, "Big Brother! We are the true Ancestral Witches; it must be that Tian Yuan who stole the legacy of Father God!"

After the Opening of Heaven, the heart of Father God had always been with the Ancestral Witches.

They were born with the Ancestral Witch Body and should be the ones to wield the will of Father God; they were the Pangu Orthodox.

The work of clearing and purifying the Earth Veins should also be completed by them, the Wu Clan.

As Ancestral Witches, they could lead the entire Wu Clan to dredge the Earth Veins and could likewise restore the will of Father God; when that time came, they too could merge with Mount Buzhou—what need was there for a stone person?

What had that stone person done? He only knew how to capture their clansmen everywhere.

In the end, wouldn't the work still be completed by their Wu Clan? "Exactly! Little Sister must have been deceived by this scoundrel." Zhurong also roared loudly, his expression extremely displeased.

A mere Great Demon had mastered their Ancestral Witch Body and had even snatched away the most precious thing of the Wu Clan; he absolutely could not be let off.

The remaining several Ancestral Witches did not speak, but they all panted heavily, glaring angrily at Dijiang.

Having suffered losses at the hands of a stone person time and again, they were furious and felt they should capture that stone person.

They, the Wu Clan, would naturally manage the world of Father God, and the mission left behind by Father God would also be completed by them; there was simply no need for any stone person.

Dijiang's expression was equally unsightly; he truly regretted it, regretted not heading to that Consciousness Space earlier.

If they had started researching that place long ago, there would be no such thing as Tian Yuan.

He, too, hoped that Tian Yuan had stolen the legacy of Father God, rather than Father God having chosen the other party.

If it truly was the choice of Father God, then they, the Ancestral Witches... thinking of this, a wave of panic surged in Dijiang's heart, and the aura shrouding his body became even more violent.

All along, they had prided themselves on being the Pangu Orthodox; they did not worship Heaven or revere Earth, nor did they disdain the preaching in Purple Heaven Palace, steadfastly upholding Father God's Dao of Strength.

Just as they had hoped, the Ancestral Witches were beloved by Father God, possessing formidable physical bodies that were difficult for spiritual treasures to harm.

Now, the more Dijiang thought, the more his mind became a tangled mess; he did not know what to do.

He was likewise very angry at Tian Yuan, but he also worried that the other party was truly chosen by Father God.

"Big Brother! By gathering the power of our twelve Ancestral Witches, perhaps we can find that space." At this moment, Xuanming, who was at the side, spoke, her eyes also filled with violence.

With so many Ancestral Witches joining forces, they had actually failed to take down a single stone person; they had failed the name of Ancestral Witch.

Whether it was Father God's choice was merely Tian Yuan's word; once they found that space, everything would naturally be clear.

Hearing this, Dijiang's eyes immediately lit up; the root of everything was that space.

The stone person was so extraordinary, likely because he had obtained good fortune in that space.

If they could go there, they could figure everything out, and then they would no longer need to fret over whether it was the choice of Father God.

"Little Sister is currently nowhere to be found, so how can we gather the power of the twelve Ancestral Witches?" Gonggong said with a gloomy face, very dissatisfied with this suggestion.

The stone person was too arrogant, playing with them like this; he simply did not hold the Ancestral Witches in his eyes.

They should search every corner of Mount Buzhou; he did not believe they couldn't find Tian Yuan.

Houtu had even told an outsider about something like the heart of Father God; she was no longer the Little Sister they were familiar with.

Not to mention that they couldn't find her now, even if they could find Houtu, she likely wouldn't help the Ancestral Witches.

In the past, they had all cherished this Little Sister, yet she had repaid them this way; Gonggong was furious.

The root of all this was that detestable stone person.

Dijiang was highly intelligent and instantly understood the meaning behind Xuanming's words: "Are you referring to the drop of Essence Blood that Little Sister left behind?"

They had not followed Little Sister's advice earlier, and Dijiang naturally understood that Houtu had her own plans.

Otherwise, how could she have told a mere outsider about a secret like the temple, which belonged exclusively to the Ancestral Witches?

Houtu was not here, but she had left behind a drop of Essence Blood. Relying on this Essence Blood, perhaps there would be unexpected gains.

Xuanming nodded; that was indeed what she meant.

The reason Tian Yuan could repeatedly provoke the Ancestral Witches was entirely because of that mysterious space.

Once they found that place and gathered the power of the many Ancestral Witches, it would be easy to capture the stone person.

They were the Pangu Orthodox, beloved by Father God; ignoring the might of Mount Buzhou was the best proof of this.

After pondering for a moment, Dijiang looked around at everyone present: "Return to the temple and find that space!"

Although Tian Yuan had already captured tens of millions of Wu clansmen, they were all clearing and purifying the Earth Veins; likewise, as long as they found that space, these Wu clansmen would surely return to the embrace of the Ancestral Witches.

Gonggong and the others, having no other options for the time being, agreed to Big Brother's suggestion upon hearing this.

Although the thought of smashing Mount Buzhou to find Tian Yuan had flashed through Gonggong's mind, it was merely a thought.

Mount Buzhou was shrouded in the will of Father God and still represented the faith of the Wu Clan.

Immediately, the many Ancestral Witches did not hesitate and all fled toward Pangu Temple.

After they left, Tian Yuan emerged from Mount Buzhou, with Huluwa following closely behind.

Tian Yuan had not left at all; although the Ancestral Witches were very angry with him, Tian Yuan was still very eager for these few great laborers.

After all, once the Ancestral Witches were convinced, the Wu Clan of the Primordial Land would be his to command.

To his surprise, the Ancestral Witches did not vent their anger on Mount Buzhou but left calmly instead.

"Strange! What are these guys planning?" Tian Yuan muttered, not quite understanding Dijiang's thoughts. Regardless, however, that move just now had already given the Ancestral Witches quite a shock.

Of course, setting aside his control over the will of Mount Buzhou, his formidable strength could not be ignored either.

Earlier, he had revealed the will of Mount Buzhou, but the Ancestral Witches had ignored it, thinking only of capturing him.

The Wu Clan are a group of fellows who worship strength above all else; without matching strength, how would they listen to his words?

Stealing the Pangu Heart and mastering the Ancestral Witch Body was the only way to make the Ancestral Witches take his existence seriously.

No matter the place, only with equal status is there an opportunity to reason.

Compared to the initial stage, the few Ancestral Witches have already become a bit more normal.

"Father Mountain! Did you break through again?" Huluwa's excited voice came from the side.

Moreover, vaguely, he felt that Father Mountain seemed very different.

Patting Huluwa's head, Tian Yuan nodded, then said: "How was the harvest this trip?"

Seeing Tian Yuan ask about this, Huluwa was immediately a bit annoyed and said: "There are only over thirty million Wu people above the Golden Immortal level; if it weren't for being chased by Gonggong, I could have caught even more."

After speaking, Huluwa still proudly shook the Treasure Gourd in his hand.

Hearing this, Tian Yuan was still very satisfied: "Not bad! Not bad! Release those weak Wu people first."

As he spoke, Tian Yuan waved his large hand, yellow clouds surged, and those Wu people below the Golden Immortal level fell out one by one.

He hadn't poured these Wu people out just now so as not to provoke the Ancestral Witches. Now that they had all left, it naturally didn't matter.

Huluwa also unleashed the Treasure Gourd, and immediately, one after another, angry figures were seen flying out in a flurry.

In an instant, beneath Mount Buzhou, it was a sea of people, all of them roaring and shouting Wu people.

Gungun, waiting on the side, stared blankly at the scene before him, his little head still in a state of crashing.

The scene just now was fleeting, but Gungun still knew that the eleven Ancestral Witches had gathered at Mount Buzhou; he hadn't expected his master to be safe and sound.

How many years had it been? His master, who originally had to scurry away under the Great Witches, had become this strong.

Although Mount Buzhou has many heavenly treasures, cultivation shouldn't be this abnormal, right?

A voice by his ear interrupted Gungun's deep thoughts.

"Little fellow, go wander the mountain yourself!"

When Gungun came back to his senses, the figures of Tian Yuan and Huluwa were already gone from before him.

Glancing at the irritable group of Wu people under Mount Buzhou, Gungun did not hesitate at all and quickly rushed toward the mountain.

With such a big commotion, it wouldn't be good if the departed Ancestral Witches ran back.

He had long known that his master and the little master were mysterious; now that he was back on the mountain, he just wanted to lie flat and relax.

Life under the mountain for these past few thousand years had truly been too nerve-wracking.

Huluwa had just appeared in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space when his expression turned suspicious; the aura of Father Mountain was much thicker here.

Sensing something, Huluwa looked up toward the peak of Mount Buzhou.

There, thick Mysterious Yellow Qi shrouded the area, and it seemed as if a faint rhythmic thumping sound was coming from it.

"Father Mountain, what is that?" Feeling the thick aura within, Huluwa was even more surprised.

It had only been a few thousand years; how could such a big change have occurred?

Regarding Huluwa, Tian Yuan did not hide anything and replied with a smile: "Pangu Heart!"

After not seeing it for a period of time, the Pangu Heart had already drawn close to Mount Buzhou, and at this moment, it looked like a precious pearl growing on the mountain peak.

Huluwa was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

As a Supreme Innate Spiritual Root, Huluwa naturally understood what this represented.

"Let's go! To the Main Vein!"

Having caught so many Wu people at once, the dredging of the Main Vein would speed up quite a bit; Tian Yuan was somewhat impatient.

Nodding, the two descended the divine mountain and stepped into that Main Vein in the middle.

Compared to earlier, the Main Vein was now bustling with activity and filled with noise.

Looking from afar, within the flowing golden Innate Spiritual Qi were busy figures of the Wu Clan.

Being able to restore the will of Mount Buzhou and also enhance their own strength was a temptation the Wu Clan could not resist.

As long as he could get those Ancestral Witches in, Tian Yuan was not worried at all that they wouldn't listen.

Without too many words, Tian Yuan unleashed the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and Huluwa threw out the Treasure Gourd.

Immediately, one could see dense figures falling into the Main Vein, accompanied by waves of angry roars.

The many Wu Clan members who were purifying the Earth Vein saw this and understood what was happening.

That hateful stone man had gone to patronize their tribes again.

Although they were all working quite hard, it did not affect their cursing of Tian Yuan at all.

The Wu people falling like dumplings were also shocked by the surrounding environment; many were dumbfounded, their faces showing suspicion.

Tian Yuan had no interest in caring about what these Wu Clan members thought; after shaking out all the Wu people, he took Huluwa to check on the few Spiritual Roots.

The light screen shrouding the Spiritual Roots had expanded a lot, and the vegetation growing within was also more lush.

Tian Yuan felt the spiritual energy within the light screen, his mood very pleasant.

In less than twenty thousand years, everything was developing in a good direction.
