Buzhou Mountain vs. Boundless Four Seas! Encountering Hong Yun!

As Laozi's heart filled with melancholy and hesitation.

Tongtian's figure had already left Kunlun Mountain by tens of millions of li in the blink of an eye.

He was in no hurry to travel. He stopped atop a bank of clouds, pondering where he should go to seek opportunities.

In the current Primordial World, it could be said that treasures lay everywhere.

After all, even he, a Pangu Sect Disciple, had only transformed not long ago.

It was easy to imagine that many of those spirit treasures that would one day become renowned under heaven had likely yet to emerge.

But searching for them one by one by following a map to find the steed would inevitably waste far too much time.

So he needed to go to the place with the most treasures. Only then could he seize this thread of initiative and gather more opportunities into his pouch.

In that case, only two destinations remained for him.

One was Buzhou Mountain, the pillar that held up the heavens; the other was the land of the Boundless Four Seas.

Buzhou Mountain was not only the pillar that held up the heavens, but had also been formed from the backbone of Pangu after he split heaven and earth apart in ancient times.

Year after year, it had always been shrouded in incomparably heavy Pangu's Pressure.

Let alone ordinary living beings—even Innate Great Beings, before they possessed sufficient cultivation, could not ascend it.

But Tongtian was different. He was a Pangu Sect Disciple.

He should have a chance to enter it.

The key was that there truly were no few opportunities within Buzhou Mountain. The Innate Gourd Vine that would later resound throughout the Primordial World, as well as the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth, were both located within Buzhou Mountain.

Such a vast Buzhou Mountain could not possibly have only this small number of opportunities. It would certainly still allow him other gains.

Aside from that, there were also quite a few powerful figures near Buzhou Mountain.

The Daoist sanctum of the siblings Fuxi and Nüwa at this time was located near Buzhou Mountain.

One of them was the future reincarnated Human Sovereign, while the other was the future Holy Mother of the human race and one of the Saints destined by the Heavenly Dao.

If he could form a connection with them, it would definitely be greatly beneficial to him.

Of course, if he could take Fuxi directly as a little brother, or become Dao companions with Nüwa...

Then by the time of the Investiture War, he would at least not be utterly alone.

Why did Jie Sect suffer a crushing defeat in the Investiture War?

As one of the Pangu Sect Disciples, and with a heaven-defying trump card like the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in his hands, Tongtian's battle strength was beyond doubt.

The crushing defeat was merely because all the Saints had been targeting Jie Sect.

This was also inseparable from the fact that Jie Sect had ten thousand immortals paying court; a tall tree drew the wind.

But speaking of it, there were only six Saints in total, yet he had actually been targeted by five of them. That was truly a little too miserable!

If one or two Saints had stood on the same battle line as him, Jie Sect definitely would not have lost that battle in such a complete rout.

"The brotherly affection between the Three Pure Ones definitely can't be relied on."

"When that time really comes, Laozi and Yuanshi will probably still scheme against Jie Sect."

"So I can only seek reliable external aid."

"Trying to topple everything by the strength of myself alone definitely isn't realistic."

Tongtian's understanding was extremely clear in his heart.

No matter how hard he cultivated, when the time came, could he defeat the Heavenly Dao? Could he defeat Hongjun?

Moreover, the Great Tribulation of the Worlds was not something that could be resolved simply by possessing strength.

What he could do was seize every opportunity, increase his own strength, and then connect with more allies, thereby completely reversing the situation!

He would make Jie Sect a beneficiary in the Great Tribulation of the Gods.

Not the side that contributed everything.

Aside from Fuxi and Nüwa, when mentioning Buzhou Mountain, there was no avoiding the Witch Race.

It would not even be an exaggeration to say that the Three Pure Ones and the Witch Race were relatives.

After all, they all originated from the great god Pangu.

The Three Pure Ones had inherited Pangu's Primordial Spirit, while the Twelve Ancestral Witches had inherited Pangu's qi, blood, and fleshly body.

In addition, not only did the Three Pure Ones possess Pangu's inheritance, the Twelve Ancestral Witches possessed it as well.

What they cultivated was a body-tempering cultivation art, the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill!

Tongtian was naturally extremely curious about this point.

If he could gather both the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill and the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, who knew whether he could directly reshape the Pangu Primordial Skill that Pangu had created himself!

Either one of these two cultivation arts was a supreme cultivation method in the Primordial World.

If they could go one step further, even Tongtian found it hard to imagine just how heaven-destroying and earth-shattering its might would be.

The thought was extremely wonderful, but if he wanted to go to Buzhou Mountain, the first problem he had to solve was where this pillar that held up the heavens was!

Tongtian had read plenty of Primordial World novels, so he was naturally well aware that Buzhou Mountain was located in the central lands of the Primordial World.

But that was only in novels!

Right now, he was merely a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and the Primordial World was so vast and boundless.

When would he ever be able to fly to Buzhou Mountain?

Besides, the central lands were only a place name. Even if he really did find them, would he be able to go smoothly to Buzhou Mountain?

"Buzhou Mountain is far too distant. Looks like I can only head to the Boundless Four Seas."

Gathering his thoughts, Tongtian directly chose another target.

Compared to Buzhou Mountain, the Boundless Four Seas would definitely be easier to find.

Because the Boundless Four Seas, as a whole, were even broader and more immense.

He even only needed to find a stream that flowed into them, follow it onward, and Tongtian would be able to successfully enter the Boundless Four Seas.

It was worth mentioning that Golden Turtle Island, the future Daoist venue of the Jie Sect, was also within the Boundless Four Seas.

If this trip went smoothly, he could first find Golden Turtle Island for himself.

That way, he could leave Kunlun Mountain anytime and anywhere.

Beyond the seas were many immortal islands, and immortal islands held many spiritual treasures.

The most prominent among them were the Three Immortal Islands!

Any one of those immortal islands contained numerous opportunities and spiritual treasures.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that opportunities were scattered everywhere.

Having made his decision, Tongtian prepared to set off for the Boundless Four Seas first.

After finding some opportunities, it would not be too late to look for a chance to go to Buzhou Mountain.

Whoosh!

With his heart set on a destination, Tongtian's figure immediately transformed into a streak of flowing light, racing ceaselessly toward the edge of the sky.

He did not care too much about the consumption of his magical power.

When his magical power was exhausted, he would simply find any place to recover his condition.

Once he had recovered, he would continue on his way.

He did not know how long he had been flying.

On this day, a notification suddenly rang out in Tongtian's mind.

You have flown above the firmament year after year, month after month. With a stirring in your heart, you successfully created a great divine ability: Ground Shrinking Step.

Joy rose in his heart. Truly, when drowsiness came, there was the pillow.

With this divine ability, his traveling speed would increase greatly.

Thus, he immediately activated Ground Shrinking Step, and his traveling speed instantly increased by several times over.

Of course, the consumption of magical power increased somewhat as well.

But the increase in efficiency was solid and real.

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

When he arrived at a certain vast region, Tongtian suddenly stopped.

At this moment, great swaths of black thunderclouds filled the firmament. Judging by the situation, it should be a Transformation Tribulation.

Without a doubt, there was an Innate Great Being nearby who had just transformed into human form.

Only after the heavenly tribulation had completely receded did Tongtian continue advancing ahead.

In just a short while, he saw a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth.

He saw that the heaven and earth all around had been dyed a deep crimson, a red halo soaking through heaven and earth.

Within the endless radiance, there was a Daoist with the appearance of a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged as he recovered.

Sensing Tongtian's arrival, his eyes abruptly opened and looked over...
