If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 131 Innate Gourd Vine!

After Ao Bai broke through his strength, he continued to cultivate on the immortal island, striving to improve his own strength.

Now that his strength is constantly improving, Ao Bai has more plans for his future.

"It is indeed too difficult to forge one's own path of spiritual practice."

Even with the help of his cheat-like abilities, Ao Bai didn't dare to try it easily.

Once you take the wrong path in your spiritual practice, it's not as simple as just turning back.

Currently, Ao Bai only knows the Path of the Three Corpses and the Path of Proving the Dao through Force; there are no other ways.

As for proving one's path through force, Ao Bai had considered it, but ultimately decided not to risk taking that route.

Under the suppression of the will of Heaven, it is extremely difficult for Ao Bai to break through his own realm. If he wants to take the path of proving the Dao through force, it will probably be even more difficult.

Even the great god Pangu could not traverse this path, so Ao Bai did not believe he would succeed.

Pangu, the primordial god, was incredibly powerful and possessed extraordinary talent, yet he ultimately failed.

Whether he died creating the world or from exhaustion, he ultimately failed.

In this way, it seems that the only remaining path is the method of severing the three corpses. However, Ao Bai is well aware of the traps involved, and he understands even more clearly that he cannot follow the method of Hongjun Daozu.

Even if he were to sever the three corpses, he would innovate and forge his own path, striving to go further on the foundation of Hongjun Daozu's Daoist teachings!

Ao Bai's initial plan is to start with the "Three Corpses".

Other cultivators slayed the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the self-corpse.

Ao Bai, however, did not intend to do so. He wanted to sever his past, present, and future corpses.

This is just a preliminary idea. As for the future practice of severing the corpse, that will have to wait until Ao Bai reaches the Great Perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

With the strength of a Golden Immortal, one is simply not qualified to sever a corpse.

Ao Bai made detailed plans for his future and deduced the feasibility of this path, which will greatly help Ao Bai's future cultivation and make him clearer about his direction.

Not long after Ao Bai emerged from seclusion, Ao Feng and the others also emerged from seclusion one after another.

This time, their cultivation levels all improved, some even reaching the edge of a breakthrough.

It must be said that the Dao taught by Hongjun Daozu is indeed very useful.

Those cultivators who listened to the Daoist teachings in Zixiao Palace all experienced improvements to varying degrees.

As the cultivators' strength increased, they also began to actively search for innate spiritual treasures.

This was also a peak period for the emergence of innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world, with a large number of innate spiritual treasures appearing one after another, causing countless battles and killings.

"Your Highness, the Blood Sea and the Styx River have left the Nine Netherworld and are heading towards Mount Buzhou!"

Bai Lin suddenly came to report.

Over the years, the Styx Ancestor has been keeping an eye on Ao Bai's every move, while Ao Bai has also been secretly observing the Styx Ancestor.

No sooner had the Styx Ancestor left than his whereabouts were reported to Ao Bai.

"The Old Man of the Styx went to Mount Buzhou? Could it be that a fortuitous opportunity has descended upon this world?"

Ao Bai's heart stirred, and he immediately found Ao Feng. After a brief discussion, the father and son, along with the Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen, Mosquito Daoist, and Chief Bai Ze, flew towards Buzhou Mountain.

Whether or not a primordial spiritual treasure has been born, they only need to go to Buzhou Mountain to find out the truth, and they will know everything.

Even if it's not a magical treasure that's born, making the trip won't result in much loss.

"If it truly is a spiritual treasure emerging from Mount Buzhou, then this is a golden opportunity!"

Ao Bai harbored a secret expectation.

There are many good things in Buzhou Mountain. First of all, there is the top-grade innate spiritual root gourd vine, which contains several top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

The gourd vine itself is a rare treasure, and it is also related to a fortuitous encounter in later generations, making it an important treasure.

"It is said that Mount Buzhou was formed from the spine of the great god Pangu, but whether this is true or not is unknown."

"The Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen sighed."

This was also her first time visiting Buzhou Mountain. The prehistoric world was so vast and dangerous that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would not dare to wander around at will.

Ao Bai laughed:

"I've long heard that Mount Buzhou is the number one divine mountain in the primordial world. Let's go and see for ourselves. As for whether it was formed from the spine of the great god Pangu, I think it's probably true."

No one would joke about something like Buzhou Mountain.

Bai Ze smiled and said:

"There are countless opportunities on Mount Buzhou. If we can obtain one or two of them this time, that would be the best outcome."

This was the first time these cultivators had visited Buzhou Mountain.

As for Ao Feng, he once fought alongside the First Emperor to this place and was fortunate enough to climb Mount Buzhou.

At that time, the pressure within Mount Buzhou was immense, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to fly through it; they could only climb it on foot.

Without a sufficiently strong physical body, climbing Mount Buzhou would be extremely difficult.

And to find an opportunity within it would require a timeframe of tens of thousands of years.

Mount Buzhou is enormous, with numerous peaks, resembling a kingdom. Without sufficient strength, one would find it extremely difficult to move around, let alone seek opportunities.

As Ao Bai and his group of five flew towards Buzhou Mountain, they saw the divine peak that pierced the clouds from afar.

Once they reached the vicinity, immense pressure began to build up, making their flight increasingly difficult.

"Let's go down and hike up the mountain."

Ao Bai suggested that they fly to the mountainside and climb on foot.

Only after truly entering Buzhou Mountain will one deeply experience that terrifying pressure.

If a weak creature were to come here, the pressure would likely be enough to make it difficult for them to even protect themselves, let alone climb Mount Buzhou.

Ao Bai and the others were all at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, but even after arriving on the mountain, they could still feel that terrifying pressure.

"Mount Buzhou lives up to its name. If we were to fight the Wu tribe here, I fear we would be completely suppressed!"

"The Mosquito Taoist exclaimed in amazement."

The Wu tribe enjoyed the blessings left by Pangu and remained completely unaffected in Buzhou Mountain. This is like a fish entering water, where there is only help and no harm.

The Wu tribe has held the great god Pangu in high esteem over the years, and they would not even casually climb Mount Buzhou.

Those members of the Wu tribe also lived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, only entering the mountain to search for various resources when needed.

Therefore, Ao Bai and his group's arrival did not attract the attention of the Wu tribe at all.

On the other side, the Styx Ancestor and his group also successfully entered the mountain.

This time, the Styx Ancestor and the Blood River Daoist sensed the opportunity within Mount Buzhou, which is why they rushed here so quickly.

As Ao Bai and his companions climbed upwards, the abundant spiritual energy in the mountains astonished Ao Bai.

The spiritual energy on Yuanzhou Immortal Island was already very rich, but compared to Buzhou Mountain, it was a completely different story.

The spiritual energy in Buzhou Mountain is as rich as clouds and mist, and there is even a long river of spiritual energy flowing through it.

Everywhere you look, there are orchids and jade-like herbs, and patches of purple jade and golden flowers.

As Ao Bai and his companions continued to climb, the spiritual energy above them grew even denser.

From time to time, divine rain falls, nourishing everything in the world.

Those were raindrops condensed from spiritual energy, falling from the sky.

No wonder there are so many opportunities in Buzhou Mountain. In such a superior environment, it would be difficult not to have opportunities arise.

The Wu tribe is uniquely favored in this respect, taking full advantage of favorable timing and location.

"Someone's coming!"

Just as Ao Bai and his group were heading upwards, several figures flew swiftly from afar and landed in Buzhou Mountain as well.

Looking at the wisps of blood mist, Ao Bai immediately recognized them as the Styx Ancestor and the Blood River Daoist.

These two clearly started ahead of time, but now they've fallen behind; they've obviously taken a detour.

The Styx Ancestor came this time for a chance encounter. They landed halfway up the mountain and climbed on foot, just like Ao Bai and the others.

Ao Bai smiled; this time, he would not allow the Styx Ancestor to obtain the opportunity.

The group continued climbing, and soon the figures of the Three Pure Ones appeared here as well.

Ao Bai secretly observed the direction the Three Pure Ones were heading, and he became even more certain of his choice this time.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the Three Pure Ones and others have come to Buzhou Mountain in search of opportunities.

"So now, they must be here to find the Innate Gourd Vine, right? Only this top-grade innate spiritual root could attract so many powerful individuals."

Ao Bai has already met the Three Pure Ones and the Styx Ancestor, and it's likely that the others will arrive soon as well.

Just as Ao Bai and his group had advanced a short distance, they indeed saw the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi flying from the Sun Star.

"There's no mistake!"

Upon seeing these individuals, Ao Bai was completely certain of everything.

There are seven treasure gourds on the top-grade innate spiritual root gourd vine, all of which are top-grade innate spiritual treasures. This is the largest number of gourds that have been fought over by many powerful people.

Ao Bai secretly headed towards the direction where the Three Pure Ones were, and they soon encountered other cultivators.

Fuxi and Nuwa arrived at Buzhou Mountain early in the morning, even before Ao Bai and the others.

This brother and sister were searching for opportunities in the mountains, one step ahead of everyone else.

Furthermore, since they had previously cultivated in Phoenix Perch Mountain and were most familiar with the situation of Buzhou Mountain, it was not surprising that they could find opportunities there.

"There's a radiant light shining into the sky there, let's go take a look."

Ao Bai saw beams of divine light rising in the distance, soaring straight into the heavens, clearly indicating that someone had encountered an extraordinary opportunity.

The crowd was invigorated, and they all rushed toward the rising light.

They were still halfway up the mountain, and Ao Bai and his group needed to climb a little further.

As they continued to ascend, the surrounding pressure increased, and even cultivators at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level could not do as they pleased here.

That terrifying pressure severely restricted them.

When Ao Bai and the others arrived, the Three Pure Ones and the others had already arrived.

This place is blessed with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it would be an excellent place to live and cultivate oneself.

"It really is a gourd vine!"

Upon Ao Bai's arrival, the first thing he saw was the top-grade innate spiritual root, the gourd vine.

From the outside, the gourd vine is no different from other acquired gourd vines, but it is extremely tall, with the entire gourd vine being tens of thousands of feet long. It hangs on the mountain ridge and looks lush and green.

There were seven precious gourds on the gourd vine, each emitting a different radiance, making them look dazzling and radiant.

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones, Fuxi and Nuwa, Taiyi and Dijun, and Styx and Blood River also arrived.

These cultivators had come for an opportunity, and upon seeing the gourd vine, their eyes gleamed with joy.

"Mount Buzhou truly lives up to its reputation as the number one divine mountain in the primordial world; I never expected to encounter such an opportunity!"

Taiqing sighed, "That gourd vine is indeed incredibly mysterious, especially the seven innate gourds on it. Anyone can see how extraordinary they are."

"Brother, this gourd is destined for us brothers; today it is truly ours to possess it!"

Yuanshi Tianzun laughed heartily, paying no attention to the reactions of the other cultivators.

The three brothers are powerful and certainly have the ability to stand out from the crowd.

Ao Bai smiled casually, without saying a word.

He didn't really value the top-grade innate gourd; what he was eyeing was the gourd vine and the Qiankun Cauldron that might be hidden nearby.

The Qiankun Cauldron is a supreme innate treasure. If Ao Bai could obtain it, it would be of great help to him in the future.

However, Ao Bai is not sure whether the Qiankun Cauldron is actually here. After all, the information he has is from later generations and has no basis.

Just as everyone was examining the gourd vine, more cultivators arrived from not far away.

"Fellow Daoists, you've arrived long ago; it's us brothers who are a step too late!"

The newcomers were none other than the Western Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin. Although they wore obsequious smiles, no one paid them any attention.

These two brothers were quite shameless, chatting and laughing as if nothing was wrong with them.

After they arrived, they also moved closer to the gourd vines in front of them.

The two men's eyes darted around, clearly eyeing the gourd vine.

When the Guide Daoist and the Zhunti Daoist arrived, on the other side, the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi and the Old Ancestor Hongyun also rushed over in a hurry.

"The Kunpeng Ancestor should have arrived by now!"

As soon as the thought flashed through Ao Bai's mind, the figure of the Kunpeng Ancestor appeared on the other side.

These individuals all have some connection to the innate gourd vine, which is why they have come today to share the gourd vine.

There are seven precious gourds on the innate gourd vine, but there are far more than seven cultivators here.

The distribution of the gourds immediately became a problem.

Those present were all supreme beings, and they stood at the forefront of the Zixiao Palace.

With only seven gourds remaining, one of which is not yet mature, it is clear that none of the various factions are willing to give up easily.

Ao Bai and the others did not communicate with each other. On the contrary, the four emperors of the demon race stood together, clearly intending to create a stark contrast with the Three Pure Ones.

It's worth mentioning that the four kings of the demon race have now gathered together, which is different from the original plot.

This also makes the four demon kings more competitive; these four Great Luo Golden Immortals are in no way inferior to the Three Pure Ones.

It should be noted that Donghuang Taiyi also possesses the innate supreme treasure, the Chaos Bell, which is currently the most powerful weapon.

After everyone arrived, the gourd vine emitted a burst of light that was three times more intense than before.

"This means the innate gourd is about to mature!"

Ancestor Hongyun cheered. He was very excited because he felt a connection with this treasure gourd.
