"Or else?" Tongtian retorted without the slightest courtesy.
If the Dragon Clan were not foolish, they would not be so arrogant and conceited!
That way, he would not have had to go through so much trouble.
And he would not have ended up with a Dragon Clan kill order on his head.
Still, such things were normal in the Primordial World.
The Primordial World had always been a place where the strong preyed on the weak. The Dragon Clan was this arrogant precisely because its foundation was formidable!
The Dragon Clan's innate talent was already not weak, and its reproductive ability far surpassed that of the Qilin Clan and Phoenix Clan. Its population had long exceeded those two races.
That gave the Dragon Clan the confidence to look down on everyone else.
"My Dragon Clan has a profound foundation, far surpassing the Qilin Clan and Phoenix Clan."
"If my Dragon Clan is foolish, wouldn't those two be utterly brainless?"
Ao Li retorted indignantly.
Tongtian laughed. "Dragons are inherently lustful. In my view, your Dragon Clan's powerful foundation is entirely because dragons are good at breeding."
"With greater numbers, the overall quality naturally improves as well."
"But if your Dragon Clan truly surpassed the Qilin Clan and Phoenix Clan by that much, the Primordial World would not be in its current tripartite balance!"
Ao Li blushed furiously at those words, yet she could not refute Tongtian.
Because it was indeed the truth.
As for her, she had nine elder brothers above her, but all nine had been born from First Dragon breeding with beings of other races.
Not one of them was a pure-blooded dragon.
It could be said that among the Dragon Clan's younger generation, she was the only true pure-blooded dragon!
As for the clan members, the number of mixed-blood dragons had long surpassed that of true dragons by more than tenfold.
If they compared only true dragons, the Dragon Clan would probably not be much stronger than the Qilin Clan or Phoenix Clan.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Ao Li did not continue arguing with Tongtian.
Instead, she flew straight toward Buzhou Mountain.
The two drew ever closer to Buzhou Mountain and finally arrived safely.
Only by observing this pillar that held up the heavens from close range could one truly sense its majestic might.
Tongtian could even feel a unique attraction within it.
He knew that Father God's aura was resonating with his from afar.
"Fly up!"
Tongtian spoke.
He could no longer wait to seek out opportunities within Buzhou Mountain.
He had a premonition that this journey would definitely yield something.
Ao Li said nothing and immediately followed the mountain range upward toward Buzhou Mountain.
However, she had not flown far before she felt an incomparably immense pressure bearing down on her.
Its force was like the might of heaven itself, something she simply could not resist.
She let out a muffled groan. Blood immediately trickled from the corner of her mouth, and she was forced to land on Buzhou Mountain.
"Is this Pangu's Pressure?"
Ao Li returned to her true form, her pretty face deathly pale.
She had never expected this pressure to be so vast and heavy!
It was simply not something her current body could endure!
She even had a premonition that if she continued upward, her physical body would burst apart before long.
"No. My physical body and cultivation realm simply cannot contend against Pangu's Pressure."
Ao Li spoke in a grave voice.
Seeing her condition, Tongtian knew she had reached her limit.
If she took even one more step, she would likely die here, body and soul extinguished.
Naturally, he would not force Ao Li to do something suicidal. There was no point in that.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "I'll place you inside the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda. Heal your injuries there first!"
The Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda contained a small world of its own.
With the protection of its hazy power of merit, Pangu's Pressure would not affect anyone within it.
Tongtian immediately brought out the pagoda and directly took Ao Li inside.
He briefly swept his gaze across the surroundings before walking toward the mountaintop.
After taking only a few steps, he too felt an incomparably heavy Pangu's Pressure.
"The Witch Race fellows have it good. This Pangu's Pressure should have no effect on the Ancestral Witches."
"The Three Pure Ones are also Pangu Sect Disciples, yet we cannot resist this pressure."
Tongtian shook his head slightly and immediately activated his cultivation, using immense mana to resist the pressure.
Yet his body still bore an incomparably powerful oppressive force.
Every step was difficult.
Fortunately, this did not last long. A stream of clear qi suddenly rose from above his head.
It was his own Supreme Purity Qi!
The aura contained within it originated from the same source as Pangu's Pressure.
This immediately weakened most of the Pangu's Pressure bearing down on Tongtian.
Though some oppression remained, it was already within Tongtian's ability to endure.
However, he did not hurry onward. Instead, he calmed his mind and carefully comprehended the Pangu's Pressure upon him.
After a short while, as he took a hundred steps, a notification sounded beside his ear.
You personally endured the oppressive aura of Great God Pangu and gained insight, successfully comprehending the great divine ability: Pangu's Pressure.
The notification filled Tongtian with delight.
Pangu's Pressure!
This divine ability allowed Tongtian to directly imitate that supreme and boundless aura, suppressing his opponents through sheer force of presence.
If the difference in cultivation realms was too great, he could even use this divine ability to easily kill his opponent.
It was undoubtedly an extremely powerful divine ability.
At the same time, because he had successfully comprehended the divine ability Pangu's Pressure,
the Pangu's Pressure coming from Buzhou Mountain weakened further.
This allowed Tongtian to quicken his pace with ease.
Of course, as he drew closer and closer to the summit, the pressure would certainly grow even heavier.
Unless he cultivated another technique from Pangu's inheritance, the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill!
Only a physical body cultivated through the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill could become completely immune to this heavy pressure.
That was why the Twelve Ancestral Witches could move unhindered across Buzhou Mountain.
Not only the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but even ordinary members of the Witch Race possessed a formidable resistance to Pangu's Pressure.
That was also why the Witch Race had established its territory directly beneath Buzhou Mountain.
To them, it was a blessing bestowed upon them by Father God Pangu!
Tongtian continued climbing in high spirits.
This journey had truly been exceptionally fruitful.
Had he not left and instead remained on Kunlun Mountain cultivating bitterly alongside Laozi and Yuanshi,
his gains would certainly have been far inferior to what he had obtained now.
Not only had he reached the Mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, but he had also obtained a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
He had also comprehended numerous great divine abilities.
This had greatly enhanced his combat power.
Furthermore, he had not traveled far before spotting several mature Houtian Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Fruits.
Treasures of heaven and earth of this grade were not everywhere on Buzhou Mountain.
But he could find one every so often!
Tongtian did not take them all without distinction. He only collected the spiritual roots that had fully matured.
As for those that had not yet matured, he allowed them to continue growing within Buzhou Mountain.
After all, he had not come to strip Buzhou Mountain bare of all its treasures of heaven and earth.
He hoped more to obtain higher-grade treasures of heaven and earth, or spiritual treasures.
As for the immature ones, harvesting them early would only be a waste!
After walking an unknown distance, Tongtian felt the Pangu's Pressure upon him gradually growing heavier.
But his harvest had also increased by two Innate Spiritual Roots.
At that moment, a unique Dao rhythm drew his gaze.
Following it, a flash of shock appeared in Tongtian's eyes.
