Chapter 179: Entering Pangu Hall! The High-Level Members of the Demon Race Are Terrified!

Houtu heard this, was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Lu Yun, if you like them, just take them. These two items have been here for a long time, and no one among our Wu Clan has been able to fathom their mysteries. You are exceptionally wise; perhaps you might be able to grasp their marvelous uses."

Lu Yun was overjoyed after hearing this; he had not expected Houtu to be so generous as to give these two treasures to him.

He hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks: "Many thanks, Houtu! I will certainly study these two treasures well!"

Houtu smiled and nodded, saying nothing more.

Lu Yun immediately prepared to put the book and the pen into his pocket, but unexpectedly, the book and pen, which had been motionless, suddenly shone with brilliant light.

Everyone could not help but show expressions of astonishment.

Houtu was also somewhat surprised, and then she could not help but smile: "It seems these two items are indeed fated with you, Lu Yun!"

But what the members of the Wu Clan did not expect was that just as Houtu's words fell, before Lu Yun could even open his mouth to reply, the book and the pen flew up directly and landed in Houtu's arms.

"This..."

Houtu was at a loss for a moment.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yun sighed inwardly: It seems my guess was correct!

Upon seeing these two things earlier, combined with Houtu's future, he had already formed a hypothesis.

Now he could be certain that this book and pen were indeed the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen, or rather, the Book of Humans and the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen!

Houtu was clearly still unaware and wanted to give the two Spiritual Treasures to him, but Lu Yun smiled and refused, saying: "Forget it, Spiritual Treasures have spirits; they clearly recognize you as their master more, so do not force them."

At this, Houtu was even more bewildered, saying: "But as an Ancestral Witch, I cannot use these two Spiritual Treasures either!"

Lu Yun said with a smile: "Who knows? Perhaps there will be a chance to use them in the future?"

Houtu could not help but look at him a few more times, feeling that there was more to his words, but Lu Yun did not explain further and turned to look at other Spiritual Treasures instead.

Houtu did not ask further, simply letting Lu Yun choose for himself.

Subsequently, he made another round through the treasury, picking out many Spiritual Treasures, cultivation techniques, and secret manuals suitable for Human Race cultivators.

Those techniques and manuals were naturally things snatched from the Demon Race when they were fighting with the Wu Clan!

Although these items were of little use to the Wu Clan, they were rare treasures for Human Race cultivators.

Especially since the number of powerful individuals in the Human Race was currently scarce, they were in urgent need of these things to improve their strength.

Houtu was not stingy either, letting him pick a whole pile of things to take away.

That night, Lu Yun spent a pleasant evening under the warm hospitality of the Houtu Tribe.

Early the next morning, other Ancestral Witches came one after another to invite Lu Yun to visit their respective tribes.

Lu Yun did not decline and followed them to visit each one.

Every time he arrived at a tribe, he received a warm welcome and generous hospitality.

At the same time, he also witnessed the characteristics, customs, and powerful strength of each branch of the Wu Clan.

After this round, Lu Yun could not help but have a deeper understanding and grasp of the Wu Clan's strength and foundation.

At the same time, he also established deeper friendships and connections with all branches of the Wu Clan.

When the other Ancestral Witches learned that Houtu had let Lu Yun pick many things from the treasury, they were equally straightforward in opening their own tribal treasuries to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun had a fruitful harvest in the treasuries of the various Wu Clan branches; not only did he pick some precious Spiritual Treasures and cultivation resources for himself, but he also accumulated valuable wealth for the future of the Human Race.

These resources would play an immeasurable role in the growth and strengthening of the Human Race.

After staying in the Witch Ancestral Land for a few days, Lu Yun felt the time was ripe and brought up the matter of going to Pangu Hall to Houtu.

Upon hearing this, Houtu's expression became serious, and she said in a deep voice: "Lu Yun, you should know that Pangu Hall is the holy land of our Wu Clan; no one who is not of our clan may enter."

Lu Yun nodded to show he understood, saying: "Houtu, I was just curious; if it is truly inconvenient for you all, then I can abandon this idea."

Unexpectedly, the previously serious Houtu suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Alright, I won't tease you! Actually, I don't have any objections to you wanting to enter Pangu Hall, and my sisters and brothers probably won't object either, but you need to know first that not just anyone can enter the inner hall of Pangu Hall; even within our Wu Clan, only we twelve Ancestral Witches can enter, and other Great Witches cannot."

After a slight pause, she added: "How about this, I will go ask my brothers and sisters for their opinions first, and then take you there if it is confirmed?"

Lu Yun naturally had no objections.

Thus, Houtu left to discuss the matter of Lu Yun entering Pangu Hall with the other Ancestral Witches.

Not long after, Houtu returned to Lu Yun's side with good news. She smiled and told Lu Yun that after some discussion, the other Ancestral Witches had all agreed to Lu Yun's request, allowing him to enter Pangu Hall for a visit.

Lu Yun was overjoyed upon hearing this and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Houtu.

Being able to enter Pangu Hall for a visit was a rare opportunity for him, and also an affirmation of the deep friendship he had built during his time with the Wu Clan.

Houtu smiled and shook her head, saying: "Lu Yun, you need not be so polite. However, Pangu Hall contains the infinite wisdom and power of Father God Pangu; if you are fated to enter, you must maintain a heart of reverence and must not rashly touch anything inside."

Lu Yun nodded solemnly, indicating he would definitely keep Houtu's instructions in mind.

Thus, led by Houtu, Lu Yun arrived at the entrance of Pangu Hall.

He saw a towering and magnificent hall standing before his eyes, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

The gates of the hall were tightly shut, as if isolating all the noise and disturbance of the mortal world.

Outside the hall, several Great Witches were responsible for guarding it. Seeing Houtu and Lu Yun arrive, they bowed and greeted them, then looked at Lu Yun with confusion.

Houtu smiled and explained: "Fellow Daoist Lu Yun wants to visit our clan's Pangu Hall, so I brought him to take a look."

The Great Witches were suddenly enlightened, but then they could not help but smile.

Because they themselves had also tried to enter Pangu Hall, wanting to obtain some inheritance and opportunities, but they had all failed in the end.

Lu Yun was just a human; he certainly would not be able to enter the inner hall. Immediately, Houtu walked forward, softly chanted a spell, and then reached out to push open the hall's gates.

A majestic aura immediately surged out from within the hall, making one feel an indescribable majesty and solemnity.

Lu Yun followed Houtu into the hall and saw that the interior was vast and deep, with a huge statue of Pangu standing in the center.

The statue was lifelike, as if it contained infinite power and wisdom. Around the statue, some ancient runes and patterns were scattered, flickering with a faint light.

Houtu came before the Pangu statue, performed a bow, and only then said to Lu Yun: "The entrance to the inner hall is behind this statue. If you can enter, you will naturally be drawn in once you stand before this statue."

Lu Yun walked up curiously and, imitating Houtu, performed a bow to the Pangu statue.

Regardless of anything else, Pangu had the immense merit of opening Heaven and Earth, and was worthy of the respect of all living beings existing in the Great Desolation.

Then, Lu Yun took a deep breath, cleared all distracting thoughts from his mind, and focused his full attention on the statue.

As he gazed, the runes and patterns around the statue began to rotate slowly, and the light they emitted gradually grew brighter.

Lu Yun felt an invisible force guiding him, and he reached out involuntarily, touching the base of the statue. At that very moment, a powerful suction force suddenly surged from the statue, pulling his entire body into the entrance of the inner hall.

Seeing this scene, Houtu was momentarily stunned, never expecting that Lu Yun could actually gain the recognition of Pangu Hall! "How is this possible?!"

The Great Witches guarding outside Pangu Hall now had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Originally, they had intended to watch a joke of this Human Race Immortal Master, but who would have thought that Lu Yun would actually gain the recognition of Pangu Hall and enter the inner hall that even they had never entered! This made them even suspect whether Lu Yun was the one who was a Witch, and they were not? This news quickly spread from their mouths, and for a time, many Great Witches among the Wu Clan, and even the Ancestral Witches one by one, were all alarmed and gathered toward Pangu Hall.

The Ancestral Witches had also not expected Lu Yun to be able to enter Pangu Hall, which was why they had not come over, but who would have thought the result would be like this.

The Ancestral Witches arrived at Pangu Hall one after another, their expressions varied; some were shocked, some were deep in thought, and some were in disbelief.

"How is this possible?! A member of the Human Race, actually able to enter the inner hall of Pangu Hall?" Zhurong said in disbelief.

"Indeed, ever since the Father God fell, apart from us twelve Ancestral Witches, no one else has been able to enter the inner hall. Yet now, a member of the Human Race has done what we could not." Gonggong was also full of shock.

Although the other Ancestral Witches did not speak, the expressions on their faces said it all. They could not accept this fact, but they had no choice but to accept it.

In the end, all the Ancestral Witches chose to stay outside Pangu Hall, silently waiting for Lu Yun to come out.

They all wanted to know what this member of the Human Race had obtained in the inner hall? And whether he could walk out alive? At the same time, on the Sun Star in Outer Space, Taiyi was deep in thought in his palace.

His gaze was like a torch, flashing with sharp light.

Di Jun was currently in seclusion, and Fuxi had not appeared for a long time; he was the commander of the Demon Race and had been looking for an opportunity to regain control of the Heavenly Court.

And not long ago, he learned that most of the twelve Ancestral Witches had left the Heavenly Court and headed to the foot of Mount Buzhou, leaving only Jumang to guard the Heavenly Court.

This was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

However, just as Taiyi was preparing to summon the various Demon Sages to discuss how to act, he suddenly received news: the twelve Ancestral Witches had actually led numerous Great Witches to gather at Pangu Hall!

This news struck Taiyi's heart like a bolt from the blue, causing his plan to fall through in an instant.

"How is this possible?!" Taiyi stood up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief, "What are they doing suddenly entering that Pangu Hall?"

As old rivals, the Demon Race also had a deep understanding of the Wu Clan, knowing that these Witches would never open that mysterious Pangu Hall unless there was something major.

Only when they had some grand plan would they create such a stir. Because Pangu Hall could isolate detection, even a Saint could not perceive the situation inside; its secrecy was excellent! "I haven't even regained the Heavenly Court yet, these damned Ancestral Witches, could they be planning to move against my Demon Race again!"

Taiyi's face was gloomy, knowing that he must take immediate action to deal with this sudden change.

Thus, he immediately ordered: "Summon all the Demon Sages to assemble urgently in the meeting hall on the Sun Star."

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was tense and heavy, and every Demon Sage's face was filled with anxiety and unease.

They also felt that the twelve Ancestral Witches gathering at Pangu Hall was by no means accidental; there must be a deeper reason and purpose behind it.

"Everyone!" Taiyi's voice echoed in the hall, "The twelve Ancestral Witches gathering at Pangu Hall must have an ulterior secret behind it! We must immediately find out their true purpose and make countermeasures!"

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, the Demon Sages nodded in agreement.

The current situation of the Demon Race had become extremely severe; a slight carelessness could lead to an irrecoverable situation.

Demon Sage Baize suggested: "We should immediately dispatch scouts to conduct reconnaissance near Mount Buzhou to find out the true movements and purposes of the twelve Ancestral Witches!"

Demon Sage Feilian suggested: "Immediately strengthen the defensive forces in Outer Space to prevent a sudden attack by the Wu Clan!"

Demon Sage Jiuying shouted angrily: "This Demon Sage thinks that instead of worrying like this, it is better to take the initiative and directly launch a war against the Wu Clan to completely eliminate this hidden danger!"

But no one paid any attention to this suggestion from Jiuying.

Just kidding, if the Demon Race really had the ability to annihilate the Wu Clan, Taiyi would have launched a war long ago.

Isn't it precisely because they lack certainty that they even handed over the Heavenly Court? What's more, Di Jun was still in seclusion comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and they were still hoping for Di Jun to become a Saint and lead their Demon Race to unify the Great Desolation!

After pondering for a while, Taiyi decided to adopt the suggestions of Baize and Feilian first, with reconnaissance and defense proceeding simultaneously.

Taiyi gritted his teeth and said: "You all first strengthen the defenses of Outer Space, I will personally go to the foot of Mount Buzhou to investigate the situation!"

The Ten Great Demon Sages were all taken aback and wanted to dissuade him.

But soon they realized that there was no other choice at the moment.

Because the Heavenly Court was occupied by the Wu Clan, it was difficult for their subordinates who were Great Luo Golden Immortals to even enter the Primordial Land.

And the eyes and ears of their Demon Race in the Primordial Land also had very limited strength; the only news they could detect was that the twelve Ancestral Witches had gathered at Pangu Hall, and more information could not be found at all.

Indeed, only if Taiyi acted personally would it be possible to find out the situation!

Thus, Taiyi hurriedly left the Sun Star, unleashed the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique, and headed straight for the Primordial Land!
