Pangu's Will on Buzhou Mountain

Beyond the Northwestern Sea, at the corner of the Primordial Era, stood a mountain that was not whole, named Buzhou.

Buzhou Mountain was hailed as the Heavenly Pillar, connecting heaven and earth. It was also one path leading to the Heavenly Realm.

Of course, Buzhou Mountain was not the only path to the Heavenly Realm. There was also the Jianmu Tree, among others.

Even from afar, Lu Ya could not help but feel reverence upon seeing Buzhou Mountain.

One had to know that Buzhou Mountain had been formed from Pangu's spine.

As Pangu's backbone, it would rather break than bend.

At this moment, though Lu Ya could see Buzhou Mountain in the distance, it resembled a mirage, like flowers glimpsed through mist, somewhat unreal.

It looked to be only hundreds of millions of li away, reachable in an instant, but that was actually merely a projection of Buzhou Mountain.

If he relied solely on his own mana, then even if he fully unleashed the Rainbow Transformation Technique, it would take him several decades to reach Buzhou Mountain.

But by using sunlight to teleport, he could arrive within a day.

The divine mountain was named Buzhou, which was quite thought-provoking.

Buzhou meant incomplete.

Was the divine mountain incomplete?

More accurately, it became incomplete only after it was given a name.

No name could possibly be worthy of it. That was the true Pillar of the Primordial Era.

It truly inspired awe. It was indeed worthy of being Pangu's backbone.

Beneath Buzhou Mountain lay the territory of the Kirin Clan, yet even a clan as powerful as the Kirin Clan could not control the entire mountain.

That was because an unknown number of mighty experts were hidden within Buzhou Mountain. Perhaps some were even stronger than First Kirin.

Just as no clan dared claim all of Kunlun Mountain as its territory.

Any top-tier divine mountain or blessed land of the Primordial World inevitably housed mighty experts cultivating in seclusion.

However, top-tier blessed lands also contained many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Buzhou Mountain could be called the foremost blessed land of the Primordial World, with countless treasures of every kind.

Yet not every living being could go to Buzhou Mountain in search of treasure.

There was another point: Buzhou Mountain still retained Great God Pangu's Will.

Under Pangu's Will, none beneath the Golden Immortal level could fly.

In other words, one needed at least Golden Immortal level cultivation to fly upon Buzhou Mountain.

Of course, even those at the Grand Unity level would not be unaffected by Pangu's Will.

Thus, even if one could fly over Buzhou Mountain, it could not compare to flying beyond the range covered by Pangu's Will.

But as time passed, Pangu's Will on Buzhou Mountain was also dissipating.

At the Beginning of Heaven and Earth, even Quasi-Saints would likely have felt somewhat oppressed on Buzhou Mountain.

Now, Quasi-Saints were unaffected on Buzhou Mountain.

After several dozen Cosmic Epochs, even Grand Unity cultivators would likely be unaffected on Buzhou Mountain.

And experiencing Pangu's Will also brought benefits, though there was no need to elaborate on that.

Lu Ya made his way toward Buzhou Mountain at an unhurried pace, gathering any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he encountered along the way.

With a movement of his divine sense, Lu Ya connected to hundreds of millions of spaces, all of them spaces within the Sun Star.

There were quite a few Great Thousand Worlds, while Middle Thousand Worlds and Lesser Thousand Worlds were even more numerous.

As for Cave Heaven Worlds lower in rank than Lesser Thousand Worlds, Lu Ya could not even be bothered to spare them a glance.

He had also gained some understanding regarding his transmigration.

Before his transmigration, he had existed in an insignificant corner of a starry sea within a Great Thousand World.

That he could transmigrate to the Primordial World and become the Sun Star was likewise part of the Great Dao's workings.

The Heavenly Dao had its fixed destinies, but the Great Dao had none.

Under the workings of the Great Dao, countless "coincidences" existed.

No matter how inconceivable something was, it amounted to nothing before the Great Dao.

If one could attain the Great Dao, then with a single thought, one could bring countless Primordial Worlds into being and erase them again.

All beneath the Sages were ants; beneath the Heavenly Dao, even Sages were ants. Yet Pangu had been stronger than the Heavenly Dao.

And yet, countless Pangus would still be insignificant before the Great Dao.

A streak of rainbow light flashed across the Northwestern Sea.

Buzhou Mountain drew ever closer.

An immense and majestic mountain presence rushed toward him.

Ordinary beings would likely be unable even to stand beneath such a mountain presence.

Moreover, the closer one came to Buzhou Mountain, the denser the Innate Spiritual Qi became.

If any Chaos Primordial Qi still remained in the Primordial World, it was likely all on Buzhou Mountain.

By Lu Ya's estimation, Pangu's Heart, Pangu's Blood Essence, and Pangu's Marrow should all lie deep within Buzhou Mountain.

But the secrets of heaven were obscured, and Pangu's residual power remained. Finding them would be extremely difficult.

Suddenly, boundless killing intent erupted hundreds of millions of li away.

"What powerful killing intent." Even Lu Ya was rather surprised.

During his travels through the Primordial World, Lu Ya had witnessed many disputes and much slaughter.

But the killing intent in the distance was somewhat alarming.

It was likely a war between two clans.

Of course, it was also possible that some clan was suffering internal strife.

Since his journey to Buzhou Mountain had been smooth anyway, Lu Ya flew over to watch the excitement.

Sure enough, two clans were at war.

Both were beasts. One side was the Rhinoceros Clan, while the other was the Jiao Tribe.

The Rhinoceros Clan numbered several hundred thousand. There were white rhinoceroses, black rhinoceroses, one-eyed rhinoceroses, three-tailed rhinoceroses... all kinds without exception.

The Jiao Tribe, on the other hand, had only a little over ten thousand members. They resembled dogs with leopard markings, had horns like oxen, and barked like dogs.

Many members of both clans had assumed human form, but they fought in their original forms.

Assuming human form helped strange beasts cultivate, but their original forms were still better suited for battle.

Thus, there were few rhinoceros-headed humanoids to be seen, and likewise few jiao-headed humanoids.

Across this battlefield, enormous strange beasts were everywhere.

Even a hundred zhang in height did not count as large.

As for why these two clans were at war, Lu Ya had no interest in knowing.

Perhaps it was over resources, perhaps they simply disliked each other, perhaps they held a grudge, or perhaps it was something else entirely.

Remaining uninvolved, Lu Ya watched with great interest.

Among the two warring clans, there were more than a dozen Golden Immortal level combatants.

There were several thousand Mystic Immortal level combatants.

This place was fairly close to Buzhou Mountain, barely qualifying as beneath the mountain, which meant it was Kirin Clan territory.

The Kirin Clan was now one of the dominant powers of the Primordial World.

A dispute had erupted beneath Buzhou Mountain, yet the Kirin Clan did not intervene. That was quite thought-provoking.

At least one of the warring clans had to be a Kirin Clan vassal, or perhaps both were.

If conflict arose between vassal clans and war broke out, it was not strange for the Kirin Clan not to interfere.

"Hmm?"

Lu Ya's gaze locked onto a Golden Immortal level rhinoceros-headed humanoid. He was likely a Rhinoceros Clan Ancestor, and he actually possessed an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

At once, Lu Ya seemed to understand.

Generally speaking, vassal clans were not allowed to possess Innate Spiritual Treasures.

The Phoenix Clan also had many vassal clans. If a Phoenix Clan vassal obtained an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it had to offer it to the Phoenix Clan.

If a vassal clan secretly kept an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was equivalent to rebellion.

Of course, there was another possibility.

If a vassal clan rendered great merit, it was possible for it to be rewarded with an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

But at the very least, Yuan Feng had never bestowed an Innate Spiritual Treasure upon any vassal clan.

After all, Innate Spiritual Treasures were still extremely important to a clan.

With an Innate Spiritual Treasure, Fortune would generally increase.

A good Innate Spiritual Treasure could even suppress Fortune.

Innate restrictions were profoundly mysterious.

Then there were the laws contained within spiritual treasures.

The inherent might of the treasure itself was secondary.

Most importantly, there were too few Innate Spiritual Treasures!

How many Innate Spiritual Treasures existed in the Primordial World? Several hundred? Several thousand?

Even combined with Innate Spiritual Roots, their number would not reach ten thousand.

But how vast was the Primordial World? How many living beings were there?

Just considering the number of clans in the Primordial World, even if the number of Innate Spiritual Treasures increased by a thousandfold or hundredfold, it would still be impossible for every clan to obtain one.

There were too many monks and too little porridge. It was understandable that great clans did not permit their vassals to secretly keep them.

In the current battle, the Rhinoceros Clan had already fallen into a disadvantage.

A Golden Immortal level member of the Jiao Tribe said coldly, "For one person to secretly hide an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the entire clan is guilty of a capital crime."

"You are already at death's door, yet you still stubbornly resist. Your crime is compounded."

Despair also appeared in the Rhinoceros Clan Ancestor's eyes.

This was beneath Buzhou Mountain.

Perhaps mighty experts of the Kirin Clan were watching. The reason they had not acted was simply because they saw no need.

And the Jiao Tribe was eager to earn merit.

Both the Rhinoceros Clan and the Jiao Tribe were vassals of the Kirin Clan, and their status was roughly equal. But the Rhinoceros Clan had secretly kept an Innate Spiritual Treasure, committing a great taboo.

The battle grew increasingly unfavorable for the Rhinoceros Clan.

"Run!"

The Rhinoceros Clan Ancestor shouted.

At once, the Rhinoceros Clan warriors scattered in every direction.

But the Jiao Tribe relentlessly pursued and slaughtered the Rhinoceros Clan.

As for the Rhinoceros Clan Ancestor, he was unable to escape.
