Chapter 43
Zhou Shan was there to end the surge of the mountain gods.
Hou Ji clearly held a high position within the Hou Tu tribe and knew many secrets, which he had kept locked away in his heart. Even when coerced, he would hypnotize himself to forget these things.
Unfortunately, even such a mind-sealing technique cannot escape the watchful eye of the Great Dao of Elucidation. Even if the Twelve Ancestral Witches personally take action to erase all of this person's related memories, the Great Dao of Elucidation can restore them one by one.
In the Peach Blossom Paradise, Guang Chengzi casually tossed the ailment under an old peach tree.
As if knowing Guang Chengzi's intentions, this peach tree, which was only about three zhang tall, suddenly stretched out extremely long and huge roots, easily pulling the person into the ground.
As the roots beneath the peach tree continued to surge, one can imagine the terrifying torment this person was enduring.
A moment later, the old peach tree stopped wriggling, and in its place appeared a more spacious cavern, clearly having been sacrificed with blood.
Although such blood sacrifice techniques should not be used too often, otherwise they will surely bring retribution, this person was the one who provoked them first, so Guang Chengzi had no mercy in killing him.
Sitting on the peach bed he had built himself, Guang Chengzi was filled with dread.
This was because Houtu devised an extremely ruthless plan: to create a second Buzhou Mountain, or rather, it should be called Zhou Mountain.
Zhou means perfection, and Buzhou Mountain is an imperfect mountain. Even the mountain formed from the spine of a great god like Pangu did not dare to call itself perfect. However, Houtu wanted to create a perfect mountain, Zhou Mountain.
Unlike the towering Buzhou Mountain, which stands majestically between heaven and earth, Zhou Mountain is a mountain of destruction, representing the fall of all mountains and the end times of the world. It is a harbinger of death and a symbol of the end.
Life is not perfect because there are always regrets, but death is perfect because everything will be lost.
It was precisely by adhering to these principles that Zhou Shan came into being.
Since we are going to artificially create Zhou Mountain, we will naturally need to invest a lot of materials, just like refining Qi. And the materials for refining Zhou Mountain are none other than the corpses of countless ancient divine mountains!
"No wonder they wanted to ambush me; it seems they've been planning to topple my Nine Immortals Mountain for a long time. Humph! Wishful thinking!"
Upon learning of this, even Guang Chengzi couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. Jiuxian Mountain was his birthplace, and their lives were intertwined. If he were to die, Jiuxian Mountain would surely grieve.
Correspondingly, if Mount Jiuxian collapses, he will also suffer extremely serious damage, and it is not impossible that most of his original essence will be destroyed.
Faced with such an enemy blocking his way, Guang Chengzi never left any gentle words, which is why he so decisively killed Hou Ji, and even felt a surge of malice towards the Wu tribe.
He knew, of course, that once Hou Ji died, the Wu tribe would surely obtain him, and Hou Yi, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, would surely come to his rescue.
Faced with such a powerful innate shaman, Guang Chengzi was naturally no match. Even using all the treasures on his body, he was lucky to escape with his life, let alone protect Jiuxian Mountain.
But Guang Chengzi remained calm and composed, because he was not alone; he had the Three Pure Ones standing behind him!
If the Three Pure Ones were to intervene, it wouldn't matter if Hou Yi came, or even if all twelve Ancestral Witches were to arrive.
"Let me show you the pinnacle of my Jade Void Palace's martial arts—call me 'serve'!"
A sharp glint flashed in Guang Chengzi's eyes. Without hesitation, he plucked a peach leaf and wrote down all his experiences and speculations about the actions of the Wu tribe. He did not hold back at all.
After writing it, Guang Chengzi placed the peach leaf into the Jade Void Treasure Box, shook it slightly, not to turn it into blood, but to send it to the Jade Void Palace.
Yu Xu Bao He and Yu Xu Palace are connected, so even though he is far away from Kunlun Mountain, Guang Cheng Zi can still speak with Yuan Shi Tian Zun.
Seeing that the peach leaves inside the treasure box had disappeared, Guang Chengzi knew that Yuanshi Tianzun understood the matter, so he was relieved. He got up and put the many peaches in Peach Blossom Cave into his wine bag and food pouch. Then, he turned around and transformed into a golden light that shot into the sky, heading far away towards Buzhou Mountain.
With the protection of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, even a hundred Hou Yis couldn't harm Mount Jiuxian in the slightest. Guang Chengzi was naturally not worried. Rather than worrying about that, he should think about how to escape the primordial world.
Inside the Jade Void Palace, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who was sitting on the cloud bed with his eyes closed in deep contemplation of the Great Dao of Hongjun, suddenly opened his eyes. In front of him, a delicate peach leaf was bobbing up and down, with many ink marks on it that were not yet dry. It was clear that it had just been written on and then returned.
When Yuanshi Tianzun looked up, he immediately saw many of the words in the text and became furious.
"These barbarian witches are truly restless, actually coming up with such a vicious idea. They have truly disgraced the name of Pangu and deserve to die!"
When the Primordial Celestial Venerable was enraged, the entire Kunlun Mountain was instantly shrouded in an apocalypse, with lightning crackling everywhere, thunder booming, and an aura of annihilation erupting out, frightening all the immortals into retreating into their caves, not daring to step out even half a step.
Laozi and Tongtian opened their eyes at the same time, not understanding why their brother was so angry.
But after seeing the peach letter in the hand of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, not only Tongtian, who was already impatient, but even Laozi, who advocated non-action, was slightly agitated.
To demolish the ancient mountains to create Mount Zhou, thus reflecting the glory of Mount Buzhou, and with the two in harmony, directly establish the eternal prosperity of the Wu tribe—what a brilliant scheme! They deserve to die!
The Three Pure Ones were not people who would swallow their anger. After learning of the Wu Clan's plot, Tongtian suggested that they go to Buzhou Mountain again and kill all the Wu people, so that the Twelve Ancestral Witches would know what was going on.
However, Laozi stopped Tongtian, and Yuanshi Tianzun also felt it was inappropriate. Firstly, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were no longer what they used to be; they were extremely powerful and had the help of their clans. It would be dangerous for them to go and kill them.
Secondly, this is not just a matter concerning their Kunlun Mountain, but concerns all the great gods of the primordial world. There is no reason why only they are shedding blood and sweat here while others are sitting there reaping the benefits!
Besides, they're not the only ones who have a grudge against the Witch Clan. Those who hate the Witch Clan the most are all in the heavens. They're not stupid enough to be the vanguard for the Demon Clan.
Subsequently, Yuanshi Tianzun, without any scruples, directly exposed the matter, making it clear to the other primordial gods that if they did not want their Daoist temples to be destroyed, they should try to curb the actions of the Wu Clan.
This incident caused an uproar among the gods of the primordial world, who were extremely angry. Destroying their dojos was more difficult than killing them! Naturally, they all began to work together to control the actions of the Wu tribe.
In some places, the witch clan is strictly forbidden from entering; anyone who dares to come will be killed.
With the primordial gods charging ahead, the demon race was naturally overjoyed and readily cooperated with the gods.
Emperor Jun personally oversaw the Sun Star, using the Heavenly Surveillance Technique to monitor the Witch Clan. He would immediately inform the local deity of any signs of movement so that the deity could prepare in advance.
Before the gods of the primordial world, no matter how tough the Wu tribe was, they could only nip Zhou Shan's plan in the bud.
