Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 6 Encountering Houtu at Buzhou Mountain

Of course, this is only calculated based on the amount of innate spiritual energy. If one can obtain some rare and precious materials, cultivation can be accelerated.

However, this is only the spiritual energy requirement for the first three stages. By the fourth stage, the requirement is much higher, not ten times, but a hundred times.

That would require the magical power of a thousand yuanhui. The fifth transformation would require a thousand times that, a million yuanhui of magical power.

The sixth transformation would require the magical power of 10 billion Yuanhui.

……

If this continues, even if you eat the fruits of the ten spiritual roots every day, you probably still won't be able to achieve the Nine Revolutions Dao Attainment.

Although the path to enlightenment is unlikely, it must be said that the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is still quite powerful.

Characters like Yang Jian from the Investiture of the Gods period and Sun Wukong from Journey to the West period both cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill.

Its combat power is particularly fierce. It is far stronger than those of the same realm. It can even fight against opponents of a higher level.

However, in general, it is ultimately just a technique that makes you great in the early stages but gets beaten up later. It becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you progress, and there is almost no hope of attaining enlightenment.

Hongyun shook his head, not thinking much about it. He began to wander around Buzhou Mountain, hoping to find some opportunities there.

It would be best to find that gourd vine.

However, instead of finding the Red Cloud Gourd Vine, they found another spiritual root, which was a banana tree.

It only has four leaves in total, corresponding to the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, so it's no wonder that it has a connection with the red clouds.

Legend has it that Lao Tzu's banana leaf fan was obtained from a banana tree leaf.

However, the banana tree possessed both yin and yang attributes. Laozi took the yang-attribute leaves to fan the fire and refine elixirs.

The other leaf, which possessed a yin attribute, was somehow obtained by the Styx River and later passed on to Rakshasa.

Hongyun didn't know whether his Four Symbols Banana Tree or the Yin-Yang Banana Tree was better.

But he possessed all four banana trees, including the four leaves and the entire tree itself.

Hongyun also put the banana tree into the treasure plate, and then continued to search for treasure in Buzhou Mountain.

After some time, Hongyun had no further noteworthy gains.

Just as Hongyun was about to leave Buzhou Mountain, he unexpectedly bumped into a woman.

The woman was dressed in a pale yellow palace gown, with delicate features, yet she had a refined and demure air about her.

However, none of the creatures encountered in Buzhou Mountain were simple beings.

After all, Mount Buzhou is permeated with the oppressive power of Pangu, and it is not a place that just any living being can enter.

Otherwise, how could the treasures in these mountains have remained until now, not yet completely looted?

When Hongyun saw the woman, he was shocked and vaguely sensed the terrifying power contained within her body.

This power is not ordinary magic, but a kind of blood energy, a symbol of a strong physical body.

Furthermore, this woman's aura also possessed a sense of earthy solidity, much like that of Zhen Yuanzi.

In an instant, Hongyun realized that this woman was probably Houtu, the ancestral witch of the earth.

The Earth Goddess who transformed into the six realms of reincarnation?

As they met on a narrow path, Hongyun was pondering how to speak when Houtu spoke first: "Fellow Daoist, may I ask your name?"

"Hongyun greets the Ancestral Witches." Upon hearing this, Hongyun smiled and thought to himself that Houtu was indeed an anomaly among the Ancestral Witches, but her personality was kind.

Houtu couldn't explain why she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to this Taoist priest, so she took the initiative to start a conversation with Hongyun.

Hongyun, being a kind-hearted person, unexpectedly found herself getting along well with Houtu during their conversation.

After chatting for a long time, the two became much closer and could be considered familiar with each other.

At this time, Houtu invited Hongyun to the Wu tribe.

Hongyun thought about it and agreed. However, Hongyun did not expect that Houtu would lead her directly to the Pangu Palace.

Although the Pangu Palace is called a palace, it is actually very large inside, divided into countless areas. Houtu led him inside, and Hongyun did not dare to peek around recklessly.

I only saw a few other Ancestral Witches in the Pangu Palace, including the Space Ancestral Witch Dijiang, who was also the elder brother of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the head of the clan.

The second brother is the Time Ancestral Witch Zhujiuyin, the fourth brother is the Water Ancestral Witch Gonggong, and the fifth brother is the Fire Ancestral Witch Zhurong.

And the Tenth Sister, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming of Rain.

As for Houtu, she was the youngest of the twelve ancestral witches.

The Ancestral Witches were quite surprised to see that Houtu had brought back a Taoist priest. Although Houtu was kind and friendly, she didn't bring just anyone home.

In addition, the Ancestral Witches could also vaguely sense that Hongyun's cultivation was extraordinary, so they treated him well.

At this time, the Wu tribe had no intention of conquering the world.

Therefore, Hongyun was still warmly received by the Ancestral Witches. Hongyun was not stingy and took out Enlightenment Tea to share with them.

Well, when these ancestral witches brought over one large "teacup" after another, Hongyun was somewhat numb.

However, the Enlightenment Tea still has outstanding effects.

Although it was diluted with too much water, every ancestral witch's eyes lit up after drinking it, and they all praised Hongyun.

While drinking tea and chatting, Hongyun's relationship with the group of Ancestral Witches improved considerably.

They were already considered good friends of the Ancestral Witches.

However, they were ultimately warlike Ancestral Witches, especially with the most straightforward Fire Ancestral Witch, Zhu Rong, present.

Zhu Rong couldn't contain himself and took the initiative to ask Hong Yun for a friendly sparring session.

Hongyun thought about it and agreed without refusing. He also wanted to see what the difference was between the Ancestral Witches who focused on physical cultivation and cultivators like himself who focused on primordial spirit cultivation.

Zhu Rong was overjoyed to receive Hong Yun's consent and immediately pulled Hong Yun out of the Pangu Palace, intending to fight outside the palace.

The other Ancestral Witches did not stop him; they also wanted to see just how strong Hongyun really was.

Only Houtu was a little worried, and said to Zhurong, "Fifth Brother, Fellow Daoist Hongyun's physical body is not as strong as ours, so you have to be careful."

He also warned Hongyun to be careful.

Hongyun nodded and said to Zhurong, "We can begin."

"Hahaha, great! That's satisfying!"

Zhu Rong was quite satisfied with Hong Yun's personality. He clenched his fist and did not reveal his true form as the Ancestral Witch.

He rushed to Hongyun in two quick steps and then threw a punch at her.

Beautiful red clouds.

Surprisingly, he neither dodged nor avoided the punch, taking it head-on, which startled Zhu Rong so much that he quickly withdrew some of his strength.

But once the fist was thrown, it couldn't stop even at such a short distance.

The punch still landed on Hongyun.

Zhu Rong's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong. Why didn't the Red Cloud Taoist dodge?

If she really gets hurt, the girl will blame herself terribly later.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and the next moment, Zhu Rong's eyes widened.
