Buzhou Mountain was the foremost divine mountain of the Primordial World, reaching high into the azure heavens. Towering and perilous, it truly possessed an endless variety of grandeur. Even Kunlun, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains, fell somewhat short in comparison.
Upon setting foot on the mountain, Lu Ya found towering ancient trees standing dense and secluded.
Beneath the shroud of Pangu's Will, Lu Ya's flight consumed somewhat more mana.
As for Buzhou Mountain forming a realm unto itself, that was nothing unusual.
Even blessed lands formed their own systems, much less Buzhou Mountain!
It was no exaggeration to say that Buzhou Mountain stood apart from Heaven and Earth.
Many of the Primordial World's laws did not apply on Buzhou Mountain.
How many Cosmic Epochs have passed since Pangu's Creation? Yet the residual will of creation still hasn't dissipated. That's truly astonishing, Lu Ya thought.
It was simply unimaginable.
Pangu's Creation had not been done out of idleness, but to Prove the Great Dao.
Setting aside whether he had succeeded in Proving the Great Dao, merely qualifying to do so was already extraordinary.
Just as only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was qualified to become a Quasi-Saint.
Could a Grand Unity Golden Immortal directly become a Quasi-Saint?
Even the present Primordial Heavenly Dao was not qualified to Prove the Great Dao.
This showed just how powerful Pangu had been.
Even if Saints appeared in the current Primordial World, compared to Pangu, they would be nothing more than ants.
It had to be said that Buzhou Mountain truly possessed an abundance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Things like hundred-year ginseng were practically everywhere, and Lu Ya could not even be bothered to spare them a glance.
In the Age of Dharma's End, hundred-year ginseng nourished by Innate Spiritual Qi would be considered a supreme treasure, but in the current Primordial World, it was not much different from wild grass.
Gather wild grass growing everywhere? Lu Ya was not brain-damaged.
Only upon encountering ten-thousand-year spirit herbs would Lu Ya consider collecting them.
The years changed, and time flowed on.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ya had spent several decades traveling through Buzhou Mountain.
There were countless mighty cultivators secluded in cultivation on Buzhou Mountain.
The various Immortal Birds and strange beasts were also a feast for the eyes.
Then there were the many formations and restrictions. For example, the Kirin Clan had cultivated many spirit fields on Buzhou Mountain, planting numerous spiritual roots and herbs. Most were acquired, though a small number were innate.
The fruits and chestnuts eaten by First Kirin all came from Buzhou Mountain.
As the saying went, the grain of Mysterious Mountain, the millet of Buzhou, the broomcorn millet of Yang Mountain, and the black millet of the South Sea—yet only a few beings could enjoy such delicacies.
Oh, the Phoenix Clan also operated some spirit fields on Buzhou Mountain.
The foot of Buzhou Mountain was Kirin Clan territory, but Buzhou Mountain itself was not.
Speaking of which, Innate Spiritual Treasures truly were scarce.
Lu Ya had spent decades on Buzhou Mountain, yet had found only two ownerless Innate Spiritual Treasures: one low-grade and one mid-grade.
And that was with the Sun Star constantly watching Buzhou Mountain.
This was actually quite normal.
Innate Spiritual Treasures had always been scarce.
As time passed, naturally fewer and fewer ownerless Innate Spiritual Treasures remained.
And how many beings were there on Buzhou Mountain?
Many mighty cultivators had also traveled through Buzhou Mountain.
Hongjun, Rahu, Ancestor Yin Yang, Yuan Feng, and others—was it possible that they had never come to Buzhou Mountain?
Moreover, Buzhou Mountain was simply too vast. It was shrouded by Pangu's Will and connected Heaven and Earth.
Even Heavenly Dao Qi was blocked outside Buzhou Mountain.
The Sun Star high in the heavens increased its attention toward Buzhou Mountain.
Even though sunlight could not illuminate Buzhou Mountain, the Sun Star could still peer into it, though its "clarity" was reduced.
Under the Sun Star's day-after-day observation, many of Buzhou Mountain's treasures were discovered.
Lu Ya was responsible for collecting those treasures.
It was practically like having a map cheat.
He did not necessarily collect the closest treasures first. Some were farther away, but delays could bring unforeseen complications.
This day, the Sun Star made another discovery.
Lu Ya's spirits immediately rose.
Without hesitation, he transformed into a rainbow.
Though restricted by Pangu's Will, Lu Ya's Rainbow Transformation Technique had slowed, but when he went all out, even the space-time around him twisted.
The higher he went, the fewer beings there were.
At this moment, Lu Ya had entered the Gale Layer.
Below the Heavenly Realm lay the Gale of Thunder and Fire.
Buzhou Mountain could reach the heavens, and once one passed the mountainside, one could feel the gale winds.
The moment he entered the Gale Layer, fierce gales rushed at him head-on.
An ordinary Heavenly Immortal level cultivator who entered this Gale Layer would likely face mortal danger.
Beyond the Gale Layer was the Thunder-Fire Layer, where heavenly thunder and heavenly fire mingled. Thunder rumbled endlessly while heavenly flames ran rampant.
In truth, Buzhou Mountain had already blocked most of the Gale of Thunder and Fire's power.
Moreover, one area of Buzhou Mountain completely shielded the Gale of Thunder and Fire.
Thus, even ants could climb Buzhou Mountain to reach the heavens.
Although there were other paths to the heavens, such as the World Tree, none were as safe as Buzhou Mountain.
Without taking one of those routes and instead directly passing through the Gale Layer and Thunder-Fire Layer, even a True Immortal level cultivator would be left in a sorry state, perhaps even injured.
Lu Ya withdrew his Evasion Light. This part of Buzhou Mountain did not shield the gale winds.
But Buzhou Mountain still weakened them.
If one left Buzhou Mountain, the gale winds would be far fiercer than these.
Before him stood a bare rock wall, though faint jade light flickered from it.
After staring at it for a moment, Lu Ya formed hand seals with both hands, and his mana became streams of light that struck the rock wall.
After a long while, more than half of Lu Ya's mana had been expended. When he looked again, a cave entrance had appeared in the rock wall before him.
The cave led into Buzhou Mountain's interior. As for its length, Lu Ya could answer that.
It was not very long, less than a hundred million li.
When Lu Ya took a single step, he crossed ten thousand li as his foot came down.
It was merely Shrinking Ground to Inches, a rather practical divine ability.
Before long, Lu Ya arrived at the end of the cave.
It was a fairly spacious area, perhaps a few thousand meters in length, width, and height.
Sunlight could not reach this place, so it was pitch-black.
But Lu Ya's true form was a Golden Crow. He could turn himself into a small sun if he wished.
Lu Ya merely blinked, and the space lit up.
A clump of jade-colored substance floated in the void.
This was Pangu's Marrow. Though it could not compare to Pangu's Blood Essence, it was still immensely precious.
If Lu Ya absorbed and refined this clump of Pangu's Marrow, his foundation could likely rise from the Golden Immortal level to the Grand Unity level, while his cultivation would also greatly increase.
Does this count as sucking Pangu dry to the marrow? Lu Ya thought oddly.
Rather than directly absorbing the clump of Pangu's Marrow, he transmitted it to the Sun Star.
Chaos Demon Gods were disapproved by Heaven and Earth in the Primordial World, but Pangu had also been a Chaos Demon God.
If one used Pangu's Marrow to become a Chaos Demon God, however, the Heavenly Dao would not reject them.
This was the Heavenly Dao playing favorites, but who could blame it when the Primordial World had been created by Pangu?
As the supreme god of creation, Pangu stood above all the Primordial World's laws.
Becoming a Chaos Golden Crow seemed like a possible path.
Finding a clump of Pangu's Marrow naturally put Lu Ya in a good mood, but it also made him think of Pangu's Blood Essence.
It would be wonderful if he could obtain even a little Pangu's Blood Essence.
Having just emerged from the cave, Lu Ya looked in one direction.
The Sun Star had made another discovery.
In the distance, a Primordial Great Array had appeared. That Primordial Great Array seemed to have fallen into chaos.
Primordial Great Arrays generally concealed Innate Spiritual Treasures or Innate Spiritual Roots, or protected Innate Beings.
For example, the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches had yet to be born and were surely still gestating, so Primordial Great Arrays had to be protecting them.
Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, First Kirin, and the like surely had Primordial Great Arrays protecting them before their births as well.
With the Sun Star watching closely, it could be confirmed that the distant Primordial Great Array had indeed become chaotic. It seemed to have been "targeted" by the Heavenly Dao.
This aroused considerable curiosity in Lu Ya.
At once, Lu Ya raised his Evasion Light and headed there.
Though they were far apart, it would not take long with Lu Ya's Rainbow Transformation Technique.
Transforming into a rainbow was already incredibly fast, and traveling through sunlight made it even more astonishing.
Before long, Lu Ya arrived outside a Primordial Great Array.
Observed from up close, much Chaos Primordial Qi filled the surroundings of the chaotic Primordial Great Array.
The entire array covered more than a thousand li, so it was not especially large.
From outside, the interior was a murky gray, like Outer Chaos.
Yet purple light flashed intermittently within that murk.
After watching for only a moment, Lu Ya knew the array was dangerous.
But he still intended to enter and investigate.
His own safety also needed to be considered.
Even if he died, he would merely return to the Sun Star and could revive there, but it was naturally better not to die.
At once, he connected to the Sun Star and transmitted the Chaos Bell over.
In truth, he might not necessarily need to use the Chaos Bell.
