Seeking a Mount

In the vast and boundless Primordial World, where all things teemed with life, its immense scale was beyond imagination. Within this boundless expanse, searching for opportunities and a mount was an arduous task.

The Tai Xu Shui Yun He flapped its wings and soared high, weaving through towering mountains and rugged peaks.

"Master's mount is the Green Ox, Second Uncle's is the Four Unlike, and Third Uncle has the Kui Ox..."

"But I only know the Kui Ox is in the East Sea~~"

Shi Yu listed the mounts of the Sanqing one by one. However, the Primordial World was so vast, finding these three was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Right, if you have trouble, find the Wu Clan!"

As a prominent clan of the Primordial World, the Wu Clan would surely know the most about these rare and exotic beasts. Their help would make things much easier.

Thus, Shi Yu changed direction and flew towards the Mount Buzhou range, intending to borrow the strength of the Wu Clan to find what he sought.

In the Primordial World, all mountains and rivers had true names; one could know their location by reciting them mentally. After flying for an unknown duration, the highest peak in the Primordial World, Mount Buzhou, came into view.

Familiar with the way, he arrived outside the Wu Clan's settlement. Looking out, the settlement stretched as far as the eye could see. Moreover, compared to last time, the killing intent here was even denser.

As soon as Shi Yu landed, several burly Wu Clan men surrounded him, their eyes filled with vigilance. They were guards protecting their tribal land.

Shi Yu quickly cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "Brothers of the Wu Clan, please don't be nervous. I am Shi Yu, and I have a request. I am old acquaintances with your Ancestor Witch!"

A man who appeared to be the leader stepped forward, clad in armor, his gaze sharp. He looked at Shi Yu and said, "Acquainted with our Ancestor Witch? Our Wu Clan rarely interacts with the outside world. Are you trying to fool me?"

"Moreover, you yourself are a demon. Why should I believe you?"

"Wu Clan warriors, form the array!"

Several robust men, as sturdy as city walls, surrounded Shi Yu, their bodies enveloped in killing intent, making them comparable to human weapons.

"Sigh~"

"Really. In that case, I'll accompany you!"

Shi Yu turned his wrist, and his Companion Spiritual Treasure, the Cloud Void Water Fan, appeared in his hand, enveloped by the majestic Laws of Water.

After a fierce battle, Shi Yu looked at the Wu Clan members lying scattered on the ground, groaning in pain.

"Damn it, how is this kid so strong~"

"Big Ox, Little Ma, quickly go get reinforcements! Tell the Wu Clan, someone's come to cause trouble!"

"I'll hold them off for you!"

"You must hold on, Great Warrior Hou Yi!"

Big Ox and Little Ma quickly got up and ran towards the interior of the Wu Clan settlement.

"I told you, I'm really here to ask for help, and I know your Ancestor Witch! If all else fails, I can send them a message!"

A faint smile appeared on Shi Yu's face. He truly had no ill intentions!!! He regretted it a little; he should have notified the Ancestor Witches in advance.

"Wait, you're Hou Yi!"

Suddenly, Shi Yu seemed to realize something very important. The impulsive young man before him was Hou Yi, the one who shot the suns!

"It is I! Great Warrior Hou Yi!"

"Kid, take this arrow!"

Hou Yi gathered the killing intent around him to form a red bow, holding a white short arrow with a string attached. No need to guess, what Hou Yi held was the renowned Sun-Shooting Bow.

"Brother, I'm a disciple of Taiqing! If that doesn't work, go find Xing Tian! Xing Tian of Houtu's tribe!"

"We know each other!!!!"

A great axe descended from the sky, landing precisely in front of Shi Yu. The smooth surface of the axe reflected Shi Yu's face.

"Hmph, who are you, trying to get chummy with everyone? Who knows you!" Xing Tian descended from the sky and landed beside Hou Yi.

"Xing Tian, do you know this guy?"

Hou Yi looked at Xing Tian beside him. Xing Tian shook his head, his tone filled with strong certainty:

"No, definitely not. We've never met before!" Xing Tian denied it three times in a row; he had his pride...

"Alright, let's join forces, brother, and take him down!"

With that, Hou Yi released an arrow, which shot straight towards Shi Yu. The arrow was like a streak of light, arriving in an instant.

"Ding~~"

However, the powerful arrowhead was firmly stuck about two steps away from Shi Yu, enveloped by a gentle, earthy yellow light.

"It's good to have you, Brother Pagoda~~"

"Stop being disgusting, I'm gonna puke~~~"

Indeed, it was the might of the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a supreme treasure, that could easily defend against an arrow. After a few breaths, the arrowhead fell powerlessly to the ground.

"Let me break your shell and eat my axe!"

Xing Tian's surrounding malevolent energy continuously gathered, and in the blink of an eye, a colossal giant that reached the heavens and earth appeared, its massive axe blade glinting with cold light.

"Ah!!!"

Xing Tian revealed his true form and raised his giant axe, hacking down forcefully at Shi Yu.

"Rumble~~"

After a deafening roar, the land for thousands of miles cracked. Where the axe blade struck, a massive pit appeared.

"What, what kind of Spiritual Treasure is this that can block my full-power strike? This is impossible!" Xing Tian stared with wide eyes at the undamaged shield.

"Good, good, good, pretending you don't know me, huh!"

Shi Yu raised the Cloud Void Water Fan in his hand and swung it fiercely, saying calmly, "Cloud Water Fury!"

A colossal wave rose from the ground and surged towards Xing Tian and Hou Yi.

"Hou Yi, help me!"

Xing Tian exerted force with his legs and leaped up, boundless malevolent energy coiling around his axe, attempting to smash through the towering waves with brute force. Hou Yi raised his hand and fired three arrows simultaneously.

An enraged voice boomed, "Stop immediately, Hou Yi, Xing Tian!"

"Halt!"

The one who arrived was none other than the Ancestor Witch of Water, Gonggong, and the Ancestor Witch of Earth, Houtu. Upon receiving the report from the diligent messengers, they had rushed over.

The two Ancestor Witches employed their methods, blocking the attacks of both combatants.

"Hmm?"

"Xing Tian, what's going on?"

"Don't you recognize Shi Yu? Why didn't you tell Hou Yi?" Houtu tilted her head up and glanced at Xing Tian.

"Cough, cough, cough~"

"Ancestor Witch, I'm telling you this was a misunderstanding, do you believe me?"

Xing Tian scratched his head, and after reverting to his true form, he said in a hurried voice.

"What do you think?"

Houtu smiled slightly. To Xing Tian, that gentle smile was a signal that he was finished!

"You go back to the Houtu tribe first. I'll deal with you when we get back. Hou Yi, you continue patrolling the Wu Clan territory!"

"Yes, Ancestor Witch!"

"My apologies for the incident just now! The Demon Clan has been gathering lately, I was just..."

Hou Yi looked a bit embarrassed. Recently, the monsters had been gathering together, calling themselves the Demon Clan, and launching attacks on the Wu Clan every few days.

"It's alright, it's your duty. I understand, I understand!"

Shi Yu smiled faintly, thinking that Di Jun and Tai Yi must have started gathering the monsters. The Primordial World was about to get interesting!

"Then thank you for your understanding, Brother Shi Yu!"

"Next time you visit the Wu Clan, I'll treat you to roast meat!"

With that, Hou Yi led a group of Wu Clan strongmen and continued their patrol.

Before Xing Tian left, he shouted loudly at Shi Yu, "Shi Yu, in a one-on-one fight, I'm not afraid of you!"

"But you had a Spiritual Treasure's blessing, you cheated! I'm not convinced. Let's fight again sometime!"

Hearing this, Shi Yu finally understood. Xing Tian was still bothered by their last encounter. As expected, the Wu Clan were all stubborn!

"Cough, cough~"

"Xing Tian, you're mistaken. This isn't a Spiritual Treasure!"

"It's a Supreme Treasure! Hahahaha!"

"If you want to fight, I'm ready anytime."

Xing Tian, who had already gone far, heard this and let out a long sigh. "No wonder my axe couldn't break it. So it's a Supreme Treasure..."

After resolving this misunderstanding, Shi Yu got straight to the point. His primary mission now was to inquire about Green Ox.

"It resembles a cow, dark and black, with plated horns. Its entire body is dark green, and it has one horn growing from the center of its forehead, a horn that reaches the sky."

Shi Yu described Green Ox's appearance and characteristics to the two Ancestor Witches, Houtu and Gonggong.
