Strange Fluctuations (Seeking Collection, Seeking Follow-up Reads, Seeking Votes!)

"Worthy indeed of being transformed from Pangu's Spine, the heavenly pillar of the Primordial World!"

Buzhou Mountain's ranges rose and fell in endless succession. Its main peak was towering and precipitous, piercing straight beyond the nine heavens and holding up the vast azure sky. At a glance, Lu Yuan saw only wisps of cloud and mist curling around it; its summit was hardly visible.

Even from his perspective, comparable to that of an Immortal Golden Immortal, when he looked up from below, he could see only a small portion of Buzhou Mountain's outline.

Yet even that small portion of Buzhou Mountain's outline appeared incomparably majestic and towering in Lu Yuan's eyes.

After sighing with emotion for a while, Lu Yuan reverently paid his respects to Great God Pangu in the direction of Buzhou Mountain's main peak, then began walking toward Buzhou Mountain step by step.

In this era, Buzhou Mountain still retained Great God Pangu's undying will.

Cultivators who had not attained the Daluo Dao Fruit would find it difficult to withstand the weighty majesty of the Great Dao Rules within Buzhou Mountain.

Thus, within this ancestral vein and heavenly pillar of Buzhou Mountain, those who were not Great Luo Dao Lords or Great Divine Ability Users would find it difficult not only to use teleportation-type divine abilities, but even to ride clouds and mist through the air.

It was precisely because the majesty of the Great Dao Rules within Buzhou Mountain was so weighty that Great Luo Dao Lords and Great Divine Ability Users had never liked visiting this heavenly pillar of the Primordial World's ancestral vein.

Even Innate Sacred Beings and peak Innate God-Demons born from Buzhou Mountain only established secondary residences here. As for their true dao grounds, they sought other divine mountains elsewhere in the Primordial World.

For that very reason, countless living beings gathered within Buzhou Mountain. After all, creation converged here, Innate Spiritual Qi hung thick in the air, and it could be called the foremost treasured land of the Primordial World.

Naturally, this drew countless living beings of the Primordial World here to cultivate in seclusion.

After all, although Buzhou Mountain's Great Dao Rules were weighty, the pressure of those rules targeted only living beings who had attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and condensed the Power of the Great Dao.

The higher one's cultivation realm, the deeper one's comprehension of the Great Dao, the heavier the pressure of Buzhou Mountain's Great Dao Rules they would face.

As for those of low cultivation who had yet to condense the Power of the Great Dao, so long as they did not employ flight techniques, Buzhou Mountain's Great Dao Rules would not target them.

The moment he stepped into Buzhou Mountain, Lu Yuan felt a heavy Great Dao pressure descend upon him, and his body suddenly sank.

"The pressure of the Great Dao Rules on Buzhou Mountain is far too heavy!"

Walking slowly across Buzhou Mountain and feeling this pressure of Pangu, Lu Yuan furrowed his brow slightly and murmured inwardly, "With such a towering divine mountain, I truly wonder how Ancestral Witch Gonggong managed to smash it apart during the war between the witches and demons..."

Shaking his head, Lu Yuan continued onward, keeping an exceedingly low profile all the way.

From time to time, he walked and paused, gathering all kinds of spiritual roots and immortal herbs from divine mountains and immortal veins, as well as collecting rare materials.

During the Process, he naturally encountered cultivators harboring ill intent, as well as ferocious beasts bred within Buzhou Mountain.

Lu Yuan had nothing to say to such blind creatures. Naturally, he used divine abilities to kill them one by one.

In these battles, Lu Yuan also faced several trials of life and death. On three occasions, he nearly fell into desperate straits.

Once, he encountered a ferocious beast whose physical strength rivaled that of a Golden Immortal. Fortunately, suppressed by Buzhou Mountain's Great Dao Rules, the beast was muddleheaded and had not developed spiritual intelligence.

The second time, he encountered a Magic Crocodile that cultivated the demonic path. This Magic Crocodile had inherited the White Bone Demonic Dao lineage of the previous era and was also a difficult opponent.

The last time, he was trapped in an Innate killing formation. Had he not relied on the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Profound Yellow Pure Turgid Diagram, to protect himself, even if he had escaped the killing formation alive, Lu Yuan would have suffered grievous damage to his vital energy.

Yet each of these fierce battles brought Lu Yuan immense gains!

First, the repeated magical battles tempered Lu Yuan's methods of combat and his composed temperament in the face of danger.

Moreover, after every magical battle, Lu Yuan refined the spiritual-item resources within his Purple Mansion Ancestral Aperture and Spirit Platform Secret Realm. This made his cultivation ever deeper, and his cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal realm was nearing completion!

Lastly came his gains in resources and spiritual items. These creatures had spent years roaming Buzhou Mountain, where opportunities lay everywhere, so they always had several treasures tucked away for a rainy day.

Although he did not obtain any Innate Spiritual Treasures or Innate Spiritual Roots, Lu Yuan acquired more than a dozen Innate Spiritual Items and Postnatal Immortal Roots.

The greatest opportunity came in that Innate killing formation, where Lu Yuan obtained a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Earth Spirit Pearl.

After that occasion, perhaps Lu Yuan's luck had waned. Over more than three thousand years, amid Buzhou Mountain where creation converged and opportunities lay everywhere, he did not encounter even a single Innate Spiritual Item or Postnatal Immortal Root.

Since setting foot upon Buzhou Mountain, Lu Yuan had traveled through it for a full five thousand years. He had fought Innate God-Demons and had once retreated unscathed from the hands of a being who had attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

Of course, most often, he discussed the Dao with many beings of extraordinary cultivation, which benefited Lu Yuan immensely.

At the same time, this spread his name, passed from mouth to mouth among the living beings in certain regions of Buzhou Mountain.

Three thousand full years without gaining anything left Lu Yuan somewhat dejected, but he also understood that when an opportunity had not arrived, it could not be forced.

One day, Lu Yuan arrived at a divine mountain along Buzhou Mountain's main vein. As usual, he harvested the immortal roots, spiritual herbs, and essences of the five elements unique to that divine mountain.

Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly sensed a trace of obscure fluctuation.

This fluctuation was exceedingly hidden. Had Lu Yuan not achieved considerable results in comprehending the Profound Yellow Great Dao over the past twenty to thirty thousand years, he might not have been able to catch this strange fluctuation.

"Could it be Dao resonance related to the Profound Yellow path?"

Savoring that lingering echo, Lu Yuan's eyes brightened slightly as delight welled up in his heart. "Could my fortunes finally be turning?"

Following that strange fluctuation, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Lu Yuan turned and headed toward a valley. Clouds and mist shrouded the valley, making it appear utterly ordinary, with nothing remarkable about it.

His Primordial Spirit power covered the entire valley. Lu Yuan inspected every inch of earth and every leaf, yet found nothing.

But his spiritual senses clearly perceived that strange fluctuation. There could be no mistake.

As though he had thought of something, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up slightly. Without hesitation, he brought out the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Profound Yellow Pure Turgid Diagram, and spread it over the entire valley.

The Profound Yellow Pure Turgid Diagram emitted powerful Profound Yellow immortal light, and that strange fluctuation grew ever more intense, as though some treasure within the valley had resonated with it.

With the two answering one another from within and without, the clouds and mist within the valley dispersed, revealing dense layers of Innate restrictions.

"Sure enough, an Innate Grand Formation is guarding this place. Perhaps it is an Innate Spiritual Treasure of the Profound Yellow path!"

With the Profound Yellow Pure Turgid Diagram above his head, Lu Yuan followed the fluctuations in the frequency of that resonance and walked into the Innate Grand Formation.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan's figure vanished from the valley, and he appeared before a ruined divine hall.

His gaze swept across the ruined divine hall, and Lu Yuan saw quite a few God-Demon Dao Scripts. These Dao Scripts were resplendent and magnificent, bearing an air of noble grandeur, exceptionally solemn and imposing.

The Innate Dao Script of this era, however, was ancient and natural, containing the origin of the immortal Dao!

"Divine Script from the World of Gods and Demons?" Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly.
