Buzhou Mountain

Biodata

Background / History

Buzhou Mountain stands at the center of the Primordial Land as the Heavenly Pillar formed from Pangu's spine. Its roots contain a vast earth-marrow core and surging Earth Vein Dragon Qi; its presence stabilizes Heaven and Earth while restraining ancient turbid energy, earth fire, and killing intent beneath the world. 196 199 218

The mountain's foothills become the site of Chen An's small courtyard, an outwardly ordinary farmstead that draws the attention of the Primordial World's greatest powers. Prophecies, failed deductions, and backlash from divine senses repeatedly point to the courtyard at Buzhou Mountain's foot, turning the region into the focal point of hidden Dao phenomena. 66 67

The courtyard's “harmony” Dao charm gradually affects the mountain's Earth Veins. Violent turbid energy becomes regulated, killing intent is neutralized, and the earth marrow develops a rhythm associated with vitality and cyclic renewal. 203 204

During the Witch-Demon final battle, the Twelve Ancestor Witches use the Pangu True Body illusion to tear up Buzhou Mountain's core spinal ridge and forge it into the Buzhou Mountain Ridge Battle Halberd. The mountain's earth marrow ultimately fractures under the combined strain of the weapon's creation, Heaven-Opening killing intent, and the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation's backlash. 217 218

Appearance

Buzhou Mountain is a colossal, cloud-shrouded divine mountain whose jagged ridge is compared to a dragon's spine. Beneath its imposing exterior lies a turbulent nexus of pure spiritual energy, killing intent, Earth Vein Dragon Qi, and primordial turbid energy. 69 170 199

• Its spine forms the central pillar supporting the Primordial World's Heaven and Earth. 196 199
• Its roots and earth marrow contain Earth Vein Dragon Qi powerful enough to hinder ordinary immortals and gods. 199
• Its foothills contain mist-covered peaks, valleys, fertile patches, and the small fenced courtyard. 69 96 199
• After its collapse, its broken core becomes a scorched, unstable wound that releases destructive killing intent, earth fire, and turbid energy. 218 220

Properties

Heavenly Pillar

Buzhou Mountain is a structural foundation of the Primordial World rather than merely a mountain.

• Supports the heavens and stabilizes the relationship between Heaven and Earth. 196 199
• Maintains the balance of pure and turbid energies through its earth-marrow core. 218
• Its destruction tears open the sky, reverses the Heavenly River, destabilizes stars, and triggers eruptions of earth fire and turbid malevolence. 218

Earth Vein Nexus

The mountain's roots serve as a major convergence point for Earth Vein Dragon Qi and primordial forces.

• Its Earth Veins guide immense spiritual energy through the surrounding land. 199
• The courtyard's willow fence redirects violent earth, fire, wind, and water energies into docile currents that nourish the vegetable patch. 199
• Harmony Dao charm from the foothills regulates the mountain's previously violent turbid energy and killing intent. 203 204
• The Earth Veins react to Chen An/Lin Xuan's actions, including his contact with a broken willow branch. 199 213

Source of the Buzhou Battle Halberd

Its core ridge can be converted into an immensely destructive weapon.

• The Pangu True Body illusion forcibly extracts the mountain's spine during the Witch-Demon decisive battle. 217
• The extracted ridge becomes a ten-thousand-foot crimson-gold halberd infused with Earth Vein Dragon Qi, Pangu's killing intent, and Ancestor Witch essence blood. 217
• The weapon destroys the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation's three hundred and sixty star banners, but the resulting backlash contributes directly to the mountain's collapse. 218
