Wherever My Heart Rests Is Spirit Mountain

With the formation of the Earth Vein, the Western Continent began to change dramatically. Spiritual energy flourished, and although it could not compare to the other three Primordial Wilderness realms, it was no longer as desolate as before, and finally there was hope.

Golden light shimmered in the sky, as if something was being nurtured within it. Before long, a vast and profound Mysterious Yellow Merit began to gather and coalesce.

Almost all the Primordial Wilderness beings witnessed this scene, and none of them understood what had happened to cause the Heavenly Dao to bestow so much merit.

Everyone started calculating!

After completing his Tongtian, Tongtian of Kunlun Mountain exclaimed, "These men truly possess great perseverance, wisdom, and merit; they have actually repaired the Western Region Earth Vein!"

Taishang also chimed in, "This is a great act of kindness, truly beneficial to the Primordial Wilderness and to the Immortal Dao of immortality. I just don't know whether it's good or bad for our Mystic Sect)."

Yuanshi said calmly, "My teacher once said in the Purple Sky Palace that Jieyin and Zhunti have great perseverance and wisdom, and have cultivated Eight Hundred Side Gates, so they are of no benefit to our Mystic Sect."

Tongtian snorted coldly and said, "Although Jieyin and Zhunti are my teacher's disciples, I have always disliked them. One is extremely shameless, and the other always looks bitter and resentful. I don't like them at all!"

Neither of them said much about what Tongtian had said.

The Taishang suddenly spoke up, saying, "The Witch Clan has now dispatched troops to the Three Mountains and Five Peaks; it seems the Primordial Wilderness is about to form a bipolar world."

Yuanshi thought for a moment and said, "Elder brother, I believe this is an inevitable process. The Kunwu Divine Dynasty of yesteryear, with its Three Clans, is so similar to the Wu and Witch and Monster Two Clans of today. Given the prevailing trend, they are bound to rise."

"But what goes up must come down. It's impossible for both races to attain enlightenment through destiny at the same time. A great war is inevitable. It's estimated that either the East Wind will prevail over the West Wind, or the West Wind will prevail over the East Wind, or they will perish at the same time."

Taishang's eyes lit up as he looked at Yuanshi and asked in confusion, "Have you attained enlightenment?"

Yuanshi nodded slowly, "I believe that the general trend of the Primordial Wilderness remains unchanged, while minor matters can be altered. The Chan Tian Dao is to follow the will of Heaven. I am the general trend, I am Heaven, I am the Dao!"

Tongtian stared in shock, an expression of disbelief on his face, and sighed inwardly:

"I thought I was already domineering enough, but Second Brother, are you truly domineering? Chan Tian Dao and follow its will. But you say you are Heaven itself, meaning whatever you say is law!"

"Eldest brother, third brother, I have already grasped the essence of my path. Further seclusion and cultivation will be of no use. I need to travel Primordial Wilderness to verify and practice my path. Today, I bid you farewell."

Yuanshi officially descended the mountain to experience, practice, and perfect his Dao in the primordial Primordial Wilderness.

The Heavenly Court, the Blood Sea, the West Kunlun, the Witch Clan, and other forces all witnessed the Mysterious Yellow Merit Cloud gathering in the sky above the Western Continent, and were greatly shocked. They were all trying to figure out what had happened.

The Three Mountains and Five Peaks and Five Sacred Mountains are the most important mountain ranges in the Primordial Wilderness. The Three Mountains are a general term for all mountains, and the Five Sacred Mountains are located in five directions in the primordial Primordial Wilderness. They are also among the oldest mountain ranges in the Primordial Wilderness.

The Great God Bing Ling Gong of the Three Mountains attained enlightenment in the ancient era. He was Great God who was transformed from the mountains between heaven and earth. He cultivated the Desolate Ancient God Path and was named Bing Ling Gong by the Kunwu Divine Dynasty during the ancient era, ruling over all the mountain gods in the Primordial Wilderness.

He made great contributions during the Fierce Beast Tribulation, but contributed very little in the later Immortal-Demon War.

At this time, all the mountain gods of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks Mountain God Lineage were gathered at Mount Tai, and the main hall was filled with Daluo Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saint- Saints.

The person at the very top is Bing Ling Gong!

The East Yue Imperial Sovereign spoke up, saying, "Great God, the Witch Court is now coming on strong, gradually eliminating our peripheral forces. They are now approaching Mount Tai, it seems they intend to fight us to the death."

The North Yue Imperial Sovereign responded angrily, "These barbarian witches are truly ambitious, actually trying to swallow our Mountain God Lineage."

Several people inside the hall spoke up, expressing their anger at the Witch Court's dispatch of troops.

Bing Ling Gong raised his hand to silence the chaotic chatter in the hall. "There's no use in saying all this now. The Witch Court is determined to annihilate us, attacking us from all sides, trying to subdue us with its grand and imposing presence. Now, we only have three paths left."

"First, abandon the land ahead and fight them to the death at Mount Tai!"

"Secondly, as mountain gods, we have scattered and our survival depends on our own abilities and fate. However, having lost our territory, let alone attaining enlightenment, it will be impossible for us to achieve the Dao. It is tantamount to the Great Dao being severed."

"Third, surrender to the Witch Court and retain your current position."

Bing Ling Gong slowly swept his gaze across the crowd in the hall and calmly asked, "What is your choice?"

The East Yue Imperial Sovereign snorted coldly, "Great God, we have no choice but to fight to the death. If we mountain gods abandon our territory, what kind of mountain gods are we? What kind of path are we trying to prove? In any case, Mount Tai is my territory. If the Witch Court wants to fight, then let them fight. I will not flee, nor will I surrender to those barbarian witches!"

"Elder brother is right. We of Beiyue will be the first to object. If you want war, then let's fight. We attained enlightenment in the ancient times, how could we be afraid of these juniors?"

"Even in battle, we of Xiyue will never flee!"

"War..."

Bing Ling Gong slammed his hand on the table in front of him and shouted, "Then let's fight to the death! Let these juniors see the majesty of our Divine Dao! They want to destroy us, so let's do the opposite! Let's destroy them, seize Buzhou Mountain, monopolize the Primordial Wilderness fortune, and establish our divine Divine Dao!"

"You gather your troops and assemble at Mount Tai; we'll be waiting for them here!"

Inside the hall, everyone shouted in unison, "Yes, Great God!"

In the Western Continent, the Mysterious Yellow Merit Cloud in the sky finally took shape, and the enormous merit cloud split into seven and descended.

The first portion, about one-tenth, landed on the eight main veins of the Western Continent, emitting bursts of golden light. In the end, it completely merged into the main veins and disappeared, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth increased by a few points.

Immediately afterwards, the three largest portions of merit fell, with about 50% going to Donghua, Zhen Yuanzi, and Zhunti, and the remaining 40% going to Jieyin, Houtu, and Hong Yun.

Donghua stored the Mysterious Yellow Merit within his Purple Mansion World, but did not refine it immediately. He sensed the amount of merit and found it was enough for his magical power to break through to the Late Stage Quasi-Saint.

The others did the same, putting away their merits and not refining them immediately.

"Thus, our journey has been successfully completed!"

The group nodded and smiled, their joy mirroring the hardship they had endured.

It should be noted that this harvest was not only Mysterious Yellow Merit, but also a portion of Western Region Fortune. Although the majority went to Jieyin and Zhunti, each of them also received a share of Western Region Fortune to some extent.

As long as the Western Region prospers in the future, this fortune will also rise accordingly, which is what makes them happiest.

If merit is a panacea, then the elusive luck is the ultimate panacea; as long as you have luck, the Heavenly Dao will be on your side.

The fact that everyone accepted the donations signified the complete end of this journey to the Western Region.

Several Golden Scroll appeared in Donghua's hand, recording the Heavenly Dipper Great Spiritual Powers and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers. He handed the Golden Scroll to Zhen Yuanzi, Jieyin, and the others. They accepted the Golden Scroll and praised them, but said nothing about the rankings.

With the Western Region affairs settled, Donghua didn't want to stay any longer and said, "Fellow Daoists, now that the great matter is accomplished, I shall take my leave. After all, the Primordial Wilderness is not safe right now; there are too many people with heart conditions."

At this point, Donghua glanced at Houtu, but she seemed not to hear him and paid no attention.

Zhunti quickly spoke up, his words filled with reluctance. "Tai Wei Daoist Taiwei, why not stay a few more days? Our Western Region are poor, but we would like to extend our hospitality!"

"It's alright, it's alright. We are innate Innate Deities and Great Powers of Primordial Wilderness primordial world. We will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Just don't look down on me, Donghua, if you two fellow Daoists attain enlightenment in the future."

Zhunti shook his head and said, "Not at all, not at all. As the Head of Male Immortals, the Eastern Wood Duke, it is our honor and we have been looking forward to your arrival in our Western Region. You will always be a distinguished guest of our Western Region, and the gates of the Western Region will always be wide open for you!"

Jieyin didn't speak, but nodded firmly, indicating his agreement with Zhunti's words!

"Alright, then I'll take my leave now!"

Just as Donghua finished speaking and was about to leave, Houtu suddenly spoke up, "Tai Wei Daoist Taiwei, we're going the same way, why don't we travel together?"

Donghua glanced at Houtu but didn't say anything. To be honest, he really didn't want to deal with this guy right now; he was too cunning.

The people standing nearby stared at the scene in a daze, as if to say, "You two have a story."

Now Donghua was even less able to travel with Houtu, and politely declined, saying, "I have been invited by Zhen Yuanzi and am preparing to go to Wuzhuang Temple first, so Houtu Daoist Houtu, please go back on your own!"

Houtu didn't press the matter further, and said in a clear voice, "Then I'll take my leave. Fellow Daoists, please feel free to visit Mount Buzhou. Houtu will certainly welcome you."

After saying that, she glanced at Donghua, then turned and flew away.

Donghua thought to himself, "If you want to leave, then leave; if you want to welcome me, then welcome me. Why are you looking at me like that!"

He turned around and saw that everyone else was looking at him, including the Jieyin.

Why are you all looking at me?

The group quickly averted their gazes. Zhen Yuanzi coughed a few times and whispered, "Tai Wei, you're quite the ladies' man. You went to West Kunlun, gave away the Peach Spirit Root, and even became Dao Companion with the West Queen Mother."

"You've come all this way to the Western Region and are already flirting with the Ancestor Witch Houtu. You're really something!"

"However, I think you need to be careful. Fellow Daoist Taizhen is no pushover; he is the one who wields the Heavenly Punishment Great Dao!"

Donghua: "/(=∵=)..."

"What are you saying? Can you even speak human language?"

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled, didn't answer, bid farewell to the others, and then got up and flew away with Hong Yun.

As he was leaving, another voice echoed from the sky, "Tai Wei Daoist Taiwei is truly a role model for us all! What a dashing and romantic Donghua God!"

Donghua was furious and roared, "You, Zhen Yuanzi, have slandered me like this! I will not let this go!"

"Fellow Daoists, Donghua will take his leave now!"

After saying this, he flew away, chasing after Zhen Yuanzi.

The two, Jieyin and Zhunti a glance.

"Junior brother, the time for the great prosperity of our Western Region has not yet come, but with this revival of the Earth Vein, it is just around the corner."

Zhunti and slowly said, "We also seized the opportunity. Since Dragon Han form, when have we not seized it from life-or-death crises?"

"Although we are Innate Deities, we lack the noble status of the Three Pure Ones, the extraordinary talent of Nuwa, the wealth of Donghua, and the carefree life of Hong Yun. We can only strive!"

Jieyin hands clasped in prayer, his voice boomed like thunder. "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed."

"Junior brother, you're too attached to appearances!"

Zhunti looked at Jieyin in surprise. "Senior brother, you have attained enlightenment?"

The figure of the Jieyin seemed illusory, as if it were not here, yet it also seemed to be standing truly on Mount Sumeru.

"The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss Great Dream of Three Thousand, where truth and illusion coexist, and vice versa. Where my heart finds peace, there lies the Spirit Mountain."

As soon as the words were spoken, the vast Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss of Ultimate Bliss and Mount Sumeru merged together, blurring the lines between reality and illusion!

Zhunti exclaimed in admiration, "Senior Brother's talent is no less than that of Senior Sister Nuwa!"

The Jieyin did not accept this greeting, but instead exchanged greetings with the recipient.

"Mount Sumeru will henceforth be called Spirit Mountain!"

As the voice faded, the two Great Dao Inscription merged into the mountain, completely erasing what was originally Mount Sumeru.

Perhaps Mount Sumeru ceased to exist the moment the Demon Ancestor Luohu died.

P. S.: I'd like to ask you guys for some monthly votes. I heard there's a reward for getting over 1000 monthly votes, I want to try it out, hahaha!
