"Why have the Three Pure Ones and Old Ancestor Hongyun all gone to Mount Buzhou?"
On the Sun Star, Dijun watched the Three Pure Ones and Hongyun leave their respective sanctuaries and head toward Mount Buzhou, a trace of puzzlement flashing in his eyes.
With the help of Daochen's Time Compass, he had fully stabilized his cultivation at the Middle Great Luo Golden Immortal stage. He had even glimpsed signs of a breakthrough to the Late Great Luo Golden Immortal stage.
"What else could they be doing? Naturally, some fortuitous treasure is about to emerge on Mount Buzhou."
Daochen strolled over.
During this time, he had been keeping an eye on the Three Pure Ones and the Witch Clan on Mount Kunlun.
What he had not expected was that the Three Pure Ones would actually let the Witch Clan eat, drink, shit, and piss all over their territory.
For that sheer capacity to endure humiliation alone, Daochen had to give them a thumbs-up.
If the Witch Clan dared pull that on the Sun Star...
Daochen guaranteed he would beat them until even their parents could not recognize them.
"A fortuitous treasure? Something is about to emerge on Mount Buzhou?"
At the mention of treasure, Dijun's eyes blazed with light. He looked every bit a money-grubber.
"I'm only guessing whether there's a treasure. We'll have to ask Taiyi about that."
Daochen smacked his lips and looked helplessly at Dijun.
The man was destined to become a Demon Emperor, after all.
Could you show a little dignity?
"Still, judging by the timing, it should be about ready to emerge."
Daochen muttered to himself.
Now that Hongjun's first lecture had ended, the Gourd Vine, one of the ten great xiantian spiritual roots, ought to be due to emerge.
"Eldest Brother, now that you mention it, I do remember something. During my seclusion, I sensed that something destined for me was about to emerge on Mount Buzhou. But I was at a critical point in my breakthrough, so I didn't pay it much attention."
Just then, Eastern Emperor Taiyi walked over.
He scratched his head rather foolishly, looking a little embarrassed.
"I-!"
Seeing his two younger brothers like this, Daochen slapped his forehead.
Were these really the Demon Race's two great Demon Emperors from the legends of his previous life?
A money-grubber and a complete blockhead!
Had all that seclusion rotted their brains?
"So a treasure really is about to emerge? Do you know what kind?"
Dijun hurriedly asked.
It was not that Dijun wanted to ask. He really was poor.
Just look at Eastern Emperor Taiyi. His companion spirit treasure-the Chaos Bell-was a Xiantian Supreme Treasure.
As for Daochen, Dijun did not even want to compare himself to him.
Because there was no comparison!!
"That, I really don't know."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi continued scratching his head like a simpleton.
Heaven's secrets were obscure and difficult to unravel to begin with.
Besides, divination was not his primary discipline.
How could he possibly divine exactly what treasure was about to emerge?
"It's the Gourd Vine!"
Daochen said it casually.
"What's the Gourd Vine?"
Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi immediately perked up at the name Gourd Vine.
As for how Daochen knew, neither of them asked. Some things simply should not be questioned too closely.
Who did not have a few secrets?
"The Gourd Vine is one of the Primordial World's ten great spiritual roots. It ranks alongside the Fusang Tree on our Sun Star, the Moon Laurel on the Lunar Star, and the Ginseng Fruit Tree at Five Villages Temple!"
Recalling the various accounts of the Gourd Vine from his previous life, Daochen spoke softly.
"Huh? How is that possible?"
Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi both felt a jolt.
They might not have been able to list the names of all ten great xiantian spiritual roots, but they knew every wondrous property of the Fusang Tree.
After all, the Fusang Tree shared their origin. All of them had been born on the Sun Star.
After countless years, they naturally knew it well.
"Eldest Brother, then should we...?"
Excitement glittered in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes.
The Gourd Vine was a spiritual root of heaven and earth on the same level as the Fusang Tree. If they could obtain such a divine marvel, its benefits would be beyond words.
"Naturally, we leave now. Wouldn't it be a shame to miss such a divine marvel?"
Daochen chuckled.
The Three Pure Ones and Hongyun had sensed it, and even Eastern Emperor Taiyi had detected something.
The treasure on Mount Buzhou had to be the Gourd Vine.
He was also curious just what power to seize the wonders of heaven and earth this legendary xiantian Gourd Vine, a treasure from root to tip, possessed to have such an enormous influence on the Primordial World's later history.
"Excellent!"
Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi both laughed.
The next moment, three streaks of light soared from the Sun Star, heading straight toward Mount Buzhou.
"What powerful pressure!"
"It truly deserves its reputation as the mountain formed from Pangu's spine!"
Mount Buzhou was vast-truly vast. From afar, it looked less like a pillar supporting heaven and more like a boundless mountain standing upon the land of the Primordial World.
Before the three even drew close, pressure so dense it seemed tangible surged into their faces.
Had Daochen and the others not already reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, that terrifying pressure alone would likely have left them unable to take a single step.
Perhaps only the Witch Clan, Nüwa, and Fuxi, who had been born here, could move normally under such pressure.
Daochen was not exaggerating. At his current flight speed, even if he went all out, circling Mount Buzhou once would take centuries.
He truly could not fathom how Gonggong had managed to smash Mount Buzhou apart back then.
Never mind being a hardheaded fool-even if Gonggong were an indestructible Gourd Brother, Daochen guaranteed that ramming into the mountain would shatter his head into something resembling tofu pudding.
Mount Buzhou would not suffer so much as a scratch.
So the later legend of Gonggong smashing into Mount Buzhou in a rage really deserved closer scrutiny!!!
"Who goes there? This is the ancestral land of the Witch Clan. Outsiders may not enter!"
Just as Daochen and the others were about to approach Mount Buzhou, a burly man appeared before them.
His muscles bulged, and his powerful arms brimmed with strength.
"This mountain was formed from Pangu's spine. Since when did it become the private property of your Witch Clan?"
Dijun stared coldly at the great shaman, a trace of anger in his eyes.
He had long heard of the Witch Clan's tyranny, but he had never imagined it had reached such a degree.
They had actually claimed Mount Buzhou, the very heart of the Primordial World, as their own.
That was far too brazen.
A flicker of anger crossed Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes as well.
Even on the Sun Star, he had heard something of the affairs between the Witch Clan and the Demon Race over the years.
Now it seemed that what he had heard was merely a little witch beside a great one.
"We were born from Pangu's bloodline. Since Mount Buzhou was formed from Pangu's spine, it is naturally our Witch Clan's ancestral land."
Great Shaman Chilin spoke with pride on his face.
"If you refuse to withdraw, don't blame us for showing no mercy."
Great Shaman Chilin shook himself, and a hundred-thousand-foot ancestral witch true form instantly appeared between heaven and earth.
"I'd like to see what your Witch Clan can do to me today."
Dijun laughed in fury. With a thought, the River Chart and Luo Writing instantly appeared above his head.
"You're courting death!"
Great Shaman Chilin grinned, raised two enormous axes, and hacked straight at Dijun.
The clashes between the Witch Clan and the Demon Race had intensified over the years, and Chilin had already hacked down several powerful demons.
He therefore felt no fear whatsoever facing Dijun now.
"Stop! How dare you run wild here? Stand down!"
Just then, a graceful figure descended from the sky. As she raised her hand, the aura of the law of earth spread, forming an enormous palm that blotted out the sky and slammed into the great shaman's hundred-thousand-foot true form.
Boom!
As the powerful aura of the law of earth erupted, the great shaman's towering body flew backward and crashed straight into the depths of Mount Buzhou.
