The Movement at Buzhou Mountain

If Li Mo had never arrived, the battle between the Witches and the Demons would have ended with both sides suffering heavy losses.

But with Li Mo here, perhaps the outcome could change.

He already knew the method of Severing the Three Corpses, so it was inevitable that he would gain the lead over the other powerful figures and become a quasi-sage first.

At the thought, a smile crept across Di Jun's lips. At the same time, he tilted his head and glanced at Li Mo beside him.

Damn! Why is Jun Ge looking at me like that? It's terrifying! Jun Ge, your future wives are the two beauties Xihe and Changxi, not me!

Li Mo felt his scalp tingle and turned his head away.

For a moment, Di Jun was utterly embarrassed, his face turning bright red.

But then, in the next instant—

A hundred thousand li away, the purple aura suddenly grew denser. The eyes of everyone present turned toward it.

"It's that again! The purple aura's getting even denser!" Zhen Yuanzi said, glancing at Hong Yun beside him.

"Indeed. Some treasure must be about to appear. I wonder where it'll stop. Shall we follow it and take a look?" Hong Yun's eyes darted around as he surveyed everyone nearby.

At that, Li Mo grumbled inwardly.

With purple aura this dense, it's definitely Buzhou Mountain.

Hong Yun, this is your opportunity too.

If it were me, I'd head out right away and take the Innate Gourd Vine when we got there! Tsk, tsk, tsk...

A gleam appeared in Di Jun's eyes.

He rose to his feet and said, "There's no time to lose. We can't be the only ones who've noticed this. Based on my divination, the purple aura should settle at Buzhou Mountain. If we go there and wait, we'll surely gain the advantage."

"What? Fellow Daoist Di Jun, you were able to divine its destination?" Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun exclaimed together, their eyes wide with shock.

The two of them had tried divining it last time.

But the heavenly secrets were in chaos, and they couldn't make anything of it.

How could they not be surprised that Di Jun claimed to have figured it out?

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi looked thrilled. He was almost as powerful as Di Jun, yet he hadn't been able to divine anything. But his elder brother had figured out where the purple aura would settle, and he couldn't help feeling proud.

Even Li Mo gave Di Jun a thumbs-up.

You're amazing, Jun Ge! You really managed to divine it.

Di Jun's expression grew awkward.

I only know because I heard it from you.

"Since that's the case, why don't we set out?"

Zhen Yuanzi was brimming with excitement.

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Jun swept up Li Mo and Bi Fang with his sleeve and shot into the sky, heading straight for Buzhou Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi and the others followed close behind.

Meanwhile!

Di Jun and the others weren't the only ones who had noticed this strange phenomenon in heaven and earth.

At that very moment!

At Kunlun Mountain.

Yuanshi looked up and exclaimed with delight, "Elder Brother, our opportunity has come!"

"Then we naturally can't let it pass us by. Such a celestial phenomenon must mean that an extraordinary treasure is about to appear." A smile touched Taiqing Laozi's lips.

The three brothers exchanged smiles. Their magical power surged like a tide as they raced after the purple aura.

Fu Xi's eyes shone brightly.

He gazed up at the sky and laughed heartily. "Hahaha! An opportunity, little sister! At last, my chance has come. I still don't have a single spiritual treasure that suits me."

"Elder Brother, this celestial phenomenon is so spectacular. I'm afraid it will bring no small amount of trouble. An opportunity often comes with tremendous danger."

Nuwa wrinkled her delicate nose as she warned him.

"Let's go. We don't have to get it at all costs. If we get the chance, we'll take it. If we don't, we won't force it."

As he spoke, the space before Fu Xi rippled faintly. The two of them mounted the clouds and swiftly vanished into the horizon.

In the West!

Two figures hurried along, racing forward at full speed.

They were none other than Jieyin and Zhunti.

"The opportunity has come! It's here!" Daoist Jieyin exclaimed, laughing with excitement.

"We brothers are truly blessed with great fortune. We meant to travel around the primordial world, but never expected to stumble upon something so wonderful. A heavenly opportunity has come down to us—this is truly a heavenly opportunity!"

"This must be Heaven's compensation to the West!"

Daoist Zhunti called to Daoist Jieyin, and the two followed the purple aura.

The purple aura gathered as they pursued it. More than a hundred years passed.

Di Jun and the others were the first to reach Buzhou Mountain.

At that moment, purple aura wreathed the mountain, though it was rather thin.

But Buzhou Mountain looked like a colossal whirlpool.

A storm eye had formed, dragging in the surrounding purple aura with tremendous force.

The purple aura was gathering halfway up Buzhou Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, you truly can see what's coming. The treasure really is at Buzhou Mountain," Zhen Yuanzi said, his eyes shining.

Di Jun beamed with delight and kept glancing at Li Mo.

Quit looking at me. If it were up to me, I'd have already gone and taken the treasure.

If we don't hurry, we'll be surrounded in a moment.

Li Mo had been coveting the Innate Gourd Vine for quite some time.

After all, it was one of the ten supreme innate treasures, and the third spiritual root he needed to collect for his mission.

"Hahaha! There's no time to lose. Let's take the treasure and leave," Di Jun said with a hearty laugh.

They passed straight through the hurricane and arrived halfway up Buzhou Mountain.

The storm could keep weaker creatures at bay, but to powerful figures like them, who feared not even the Chaos Gale, it was nothing.

"Look! What's that?"

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi shouted.

Everyone's gaze fell upon a narrow spot.

There, before their eyes, was a gnarled gourd vine.

Seven little gourds of different colors hung from it, covering every shade from red and orange to yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

Each little gourd was only about the size of a baby's fist.

The seven gourds were continually absorbing the purple aura gathering around them. As the aura flowed in, they began to grow at an astonishing speed.

Di Jun and the others' faces darkened at once.

Jun Ge's luck really is terrible. We got here, and the gourds are still so small. They clearly haven't ripened yet.

Looks like the Innate Gourd Vine won't ripen until the other powerful figures arrive.

That means Jun Ge may not even manage to get a few of the gourds.

Originally, Hong Yun got one of the seven gourds and refined the red-purple gourd into the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd.

Nuwa got the purple-cyan gourd and refined it into the Monster Summoning Banner. When the banner moved, all the demons bowed.

The purple-white gourd fell into Second Brother's hands. He refined it into the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, which he later gave to Jun Ge's tenth son, Lu Ya.

Tongtian got the purple-yellow gourd and refined it into the Water-Fire Gourd. It wasn't famous, but it was surely powerful.

Hong Jun got the purple-green gourd and gave it to Hao Tian.

Yuanshi got the purple-black gourd. It contained its own Chaos and could evolve all things.

Laozi got the purple-gold gourd, which he mainly used to store pills. In truth, it was extremely powerful too.

And the gourd vine and Breathing Soil were both extraordinary treasures.

Nuwa got the gourd vine and refined it into the Human Creation Whip. The Breathing Soil gave rise to a new race, and Nuwa gained immeasurable merit because of it, becoming the first saint under Hong Jun.

One piece of information after another crashed into Di Jun's mind like towering waves.

These supreme treasures already had their own destined owners.

Still, he wasn't willing to give up. He would fight for them with all his might.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, what should we do?" Zhen Yuanzi asked.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi looked at Di Jun. "Elder Brother!"

"Wait!"

As soon as he spoke, streaks of light shot toward Buzhou Mountain from every direction in the sky.

The pressure of peak Grand Unity Golden Immortals made Li Mo keenly aware of how powerful the newcomers were.

We can't wait any longer. My precious little gourds, let Daddy touch you!

Once I've touched them, Jun Ge can go fight. I'm staying out of it.

Touching the Innate Gourd Vine in front of so many powerful figures wasn't a wise move.
