Tongtian: The Heavenly Secrets Were in Chaos

"The bow and arrows formed from Father God's ribs were indeed immensely powerful. However, without the Lunar Origin, they ultimately could not restrain the Golden Crow lineage. And our Wu Tribe does not cultivate the primordial spirit, making it difficult for us to refine spiritual treasures. But our Wu Tribe has a method of using heartblood sacrifices to refine acquired treasures. After Houyi obtained the Sun-Shooting Bow and arrows, he used heartblood to refine them, merging himself with the bow and arrows. Thus, as Chang'e cultivated, awakened her memories of her past life, and summoned the 'Sun-Shooting Arrow' fused with Wangshu's origin, the Sun-Shooting Arrow would naturally draw Houyi here. In the end, Houyi would be ambushed and killed." Pingxin spoke quietly as she looked at Houyi.

Houyi's expression changed. By now, he understood most of what had happened.

After learning the truth, Houyi clenched his fists, rage blazing within him. "Those beasts of the Demon Clan—when they could not win openly, they resorted to underhanded tricks. Damn it..."

Houyi cursed in fury, wishing he could charge straight into the Demon Court and settle the score with the Demon Clan.

Pingxin remained calm. "Enough. Since you know this was all a scheme, steady yourself and return soon."

"Ancestor Shaman Houtu... Since this Chang'e is the executor of a Demon Clan scheme, I should kill her first." Houyi spoke as killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing that, terror appeared on Chang'e's face. Once she learned from Pingxin that she had been involved in the Demon Clan's conspiracy, she had already felt utterly panicked.

Who would have thought that Houyi now wanted to kill her? This drove her even deeper into despair.

Chang'e was also greatly shocked. For no apparent reason, she had learned things about her past life and discovered that she had been entangled in a massive conspiracy. Even her birth might have been part of it.

Frightened, Chang'e looked at Chen Yang and Pingxin with a wronged expression. "Master, Teacher Pingxin, I... I..."

Chang'e looked pitiful, tears glimmering faintly in her eyes. She was deeply aggrieved. She did not even know what had happened, yet she had somehow become a calamity.

Pingxin thought briefly before saying, "Enough. Now that you know of this, you will not fall for their trap. The Demon Clan's scheme will not succeed. Killing Chang'e, on the other hand, would bring no benefit."

Hearing this, Houyi immediately withdrew his killing intent. "But Ancestor Shaman Houtu, this Chang'e is Wangshu's reincarnation. And Wangshu was Xihe's younger sister. In the future..."

Pingxin looked at Chang'e with a faint smile. "Chang'e is Chang'e, and Wangshu is Wangshu. Even if Chang'e becomes Wangshu in the future, she will not become a member of the Demon Clan. Moreover, if Chang'e lives, she will be a threat to the Demon Clan."

"A threat?" Chen Yang could not help asking in confusion.

"Yes, a threat. All right, we can discuss that later. The urgent matter is how to settle Chang'e."

"How to settle her is indeed troublesome." Chen Yang also had a headache. He truly did not know what to do with Chang'e.

If Chang'e were merely an ordinary member of the Human Clan, she could be arranged somewhere easily. But she was Wangshu's reincarnation and Xihe's younger sister. Furthermore, Pingxin's words about her being a threat were true. Chang'e was genuinely a huge problem.

Chen Yang fell into thought, while Pingxin suddenly said, "So be it. Leave Chang'e among the Human Clan and hope that she can grow up peacefully."

Chen Yang nodded and said nothing more. Chang'e was connected to far too many things. A slight mishandling could create a massive problem. Since that was the case, they might as well let her develop on her own.

Afterward, Houyi took the Sun-Shooting Arrow and returned to the Wu Tribe.

Chen Yang and Pingxin brought Chang'e back to the Human Clan's tribe.

Everything seemed to have settled into calm.

However, as things gradually calmed down around Chen Yang,

a strange change arose within the Jie Sect.

Inside Biyou Palace, Tongtian, who had been personally instructing Duobao and the other direct disciples, suddenly paused.

Tongtian fell silent. Duobao and the other four direct disciples emerged from their state of enlightenment, confusion appearing on their faces.

After a long silence, Duobao could not help asking, "Master, what happened?"

Tongtian was silent for a moment before speaking with grave seriousness. "The heavenly secrets are in chaos."

"In chaos? Master... The Wu and Demon Clans are currently confronting each other, and murderous aura covers the heavens. The heavenly secrets were already chaotic to begin with. Is there anything strange about them being in disorder now?" Duobao asked in confusion.

"No... After the second Wu-Demon War ended, the heavenly secrets had gradually become clearer. Yet now, those heavenly secrets that had been slowly clarifying have become chaotic again, tangled beyond measure, as if some great transformation is approaching," Tongtian said quietly.

Duobao was slightly startled. "Master... Could the changes in the heavenly secrets mean that something unexpected will happen in the Wu-Demon War?"

"There should not be many unforeseen events in the Wu-Demon War. I simply do not know what variable has arisen within it." Tongtian also fell into thought.

Chen Yang knew nothing of the conversations within the Jie Sect.

After returning to the tribe, Chen Yang waited several days before looking toward Pingxin and seeking an answer. "Pingxin, was what you said before about Chang'e true?"

"Of course it was true. When Sister Xuanming discovered Wangshu's origin, she found traces of Great Sun True Fire. If nothing unexpected happened, Wangshu likely perished at the hands of Dijun or Taiyi. Therefore, even if Chang'e awakens her memories of her past life, she will not join the Demon Clan. Instead, she will become hostile toward them." Pingxin spoke casually.

"Interesting. Xihe's younger sister likely died at Dijun's or Taiyi's hands. Also, judging from the fragments of memory Chang'e awakened, she was once sealed within the Lunar Star. It seems there are many hidden schemes involved." Chen Yang sighed.

"Many matters are involved, and I know only a little. However, even before Dijun established the Demon Court, Wangshu was not on the same path as them. It would not be strange if Wangshu was ultimately killed by Dijun and the others." Pingxin spoke seriously.

"It seems the Demon Clan of old was also involved in many secrets." Chen Yang pondered slightly.

"This is difficult to say. Perhaps once you grow stronger in the future, you will know." Pingxin did not elaborate.

Seeing that Pingxin was unwilling to answer, Chen Yang changed the subject. "Then was what you said about Chang'e gradually recovering and being able to affect the Cosmic Star Formation true...?"

"Of course it was true. The Cosmic Star Formation perfected by Dijun relied on the Lunar and Solar Stars as its formation cores. If Chang'e gradually grows stronger and recovers her cultivation from her past life, she might be able to use the Lunar Origin to affect the operation of the Cosmic Star Formation. That alone would be more than enough of a threat to the Demon Clan." Pingxin said with a faint smile.

"Hiss..." Chen Yang sucked in a cold breath, deep in thought.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.

Pingxin now looked somewhat languid as she turned to gaze at the vast starry sky. "Chen Yang... I should leave..."

"Leave? Where are you going? Are you leaving this tribe?" Chen Yang could not help asking.

"No, I am returning to the Wu Tribe. I have remained in the human world for countless years and gained many insights. Especially with the enhancement of your wisdom, I have gained a deep understanding of the path of reincarnation. There is little value in my remaining in the human world any longer. It is time to return to the Wu Tribe." Pingxin spoke slowly.

Chen Yang's expression shifted slightly. Looking at Pingxin, he did not know what emotions he felt. "Can I go with you? Since becoming your disciple, the only places I have visited are Golden Ao Island, Kunlun, and the Human Clan. I am very curious about the Wu Tribe."

"Oh... You want to accompany me to the Wu Tribe? Are you not afraid that your sect will blame you? You should know that our Wu Tribe has some conflicts with the Mystic Sect lineage." Pingxin looked at Chen Yang curiously.

Chen Yang nodded seriously, a trace of determination on his face. "It does not matter. I am very curious about the Wu Tribe and want to see it for myself. Besides, our Jie Sect does not care much for certain rules. And often, disciples of the Jie Sect simply act according to their own hearts."

"That is true. The Three Teachings have three different temperaments. Your Jie Sect is like a hot-blooded youth—you do not consider too much before acting and simply follow your inclinations." Pingxin smiled.

Having come to the Primordial World, it would truly betray his identity as a transmigrator if he did not visit the Wu Tribe. Furthermore, the Wu Tribe resided at Buzhou Mountain, that divine mountain surrounded by countless legends in later ages. Chen Yang had long yearned to see it.

Besides, after the Wu and Demon Clans' final war, the Ancestor Shamans would perish and Buzhou Mountain would collapse. By then, there would be little left to see.

In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed.

Chen Yang traveled with Pingxin for hundreds of years before finally arriving at the heart of the Primordial World—Buzhou Mountain.

The moment he arrived, Chen Yang felt an ancient and majestic aura.

Looking up, he saw a towering mountain piercing the heavens and connecting heaven and earth.

"Buzhou Mountain... So this is Buzhou Mountain." Chen Yang sighed, filled with excitement.

Pingxin nodded and looked at Buzhou Mountain. "That is right. This is Buzhou Mountain, the divine mountain formed from Father God's spine. It is also the foremost divine mountain and foremost blessed land in the Primordial World..."

Chen Yang nodded silently, sensing Buzhou's aura and the ancient desolation that seemed to have come from the passage of ages. "If living beings of the Primordial World cannot see Buzhou even once with their own eyes, then they have lived in vain as beings of this world!"

"That description does suit the wonder of Buzhou Mountain." Pingxin smiled as well.

Chen Yang nodded too, lamenting that if beings of the Primordial World could not behold Buzhou Mountain even once, they truly did not deserve to call themselves living beings of the Primordial World.

As Chen Yang sensed the vast aura and stepped into the Buzhou Region, he clearly felt a pressure descend upon him. It was as if he were carrying the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks on his back. "This pressure..."

"That is Father God's pressure. Near the Buzhou Region, it feels as though one carries mountains and rivers upon one's back. The closer one gets to the core of Buzhou Mountain, the heavier the pressure becomes, and the more terrifying the weight borne by one's entire body. It is said that at Buzhou Mountain's peak, approaching its core was like carrying the heavens themselves." Pingxin said with feeling.

"Hiss... Carrying the heavens? If the vast heavens fell, who could withstand them?" Chen Yang could not help sighing.

If the skies of the Primordial World fell, even Hongjun would likely find it difficult to support them. Thinking it over, only the great Pangu had the qualifications to do so.

Chen Yang sighed and looked toward the Buzhou Region. The Buzhou Region did not contain only Buzhou Mountain. It was a land of towering mountains and ridges, where countless mountain ranges could be seen, concealing innumerable dragon veins that surrounded the Buzhou Region.

It was as though Buzhou Mountain were a dragon pearl, encircled and guarded by countless dragon veins.

These countless interwoven dragon veins were not merely majestic. They also drew in and exhaled heaven and earth spiritual energy, transforming this place into a spiritual land where clouds and rosy mist swirled. Of course, the spiritual energy also contained Buzhou Mountain's will—a domineering will, a will for battle!

If Kunlun was like a refined gentleman, then Buzhou Mountain was like a fierce and tyrannical war god!

Kunlun could not compare. It truly could not compare!
