Buzhou Mountain, formed from Pangu’s spine, stands majestic and unparalleled in the Great Desolation, towering and silently supporting heaven and earth.
At the suggestion of Dong Wang Gong, the chief of male immortals, many powerful beings from Zixiao Palace have now descended to the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
Formed from Pangu's spine, Buzhou Mountain is protected by numerous restrictions. Even these mighty beings from heaven and earth had no choice but to dismount at the foot of the mountain and proceed on foot.
“So this is Buzhou Mountain?”
Xu Fang and his group also followed, landing at the foot of the mountain.
This was Xu Fang’s first time seeing the legendary Buzhou Mountain, and he was naturally awestruck by its immensity. Looking up, Buzhou Mountain stretched endlessly, its peak vanishing from sight.
Looking up further, it pierced the heavens, soaring into the clouds, truly a bridge between heaven and earth!
“Fellow Daoist, would you like to join me in seeking opportunities?”
Dong Wang Gong spoke, inviting Xu Fang to travel together.
After repeated encounters and observing Xu Fang’s actions and words, he had a persistent feeling that this person seemed to possess complete knowledge of events in the Great Desolation, always acting mysteriously.
Therefore, Dong Wang Gong naturally wanted to bring Xu Fang along, increasing his chances of finding treasures.
Currently, a host of powerful beings had descended upon Buzhou Mountain. Although they were ostensibly searching for treasures together, it was impossible for everyone to crowd together.
Otherwise, how would the treasures be divided among so many people?
Thus, everyone was forming their own teams and proceeding separately. The Three Pure Ones, for instance, relying on their formidable abilities, directly entered Buzhou Mountain.
Xu Fang glanced at the immortals gathered around Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu, shook his head, and decisively refused.
Dong Wang Gong had led everyone to Buzhou Mountain, putting his innate gourd’s opportunity in jeopardy. To still have the audacity to invite him to travel together was beyond belief. Not beating him up was already giving him the respect due to the chief of male immortals.
“Very well, fellow Daoist, may your journey be safe. Farewell.”
Dong Wang Gong, seeing this, was unconcerned. He led the immortals who followed him into Buzhou Mountain.
Xi Wang Mu, however, was quite perplexed and asked.
“Since you are good friends with this fellow Daoist, why does he not seem happy for you becoming the chief of male immortals?”
“Haha! Though we are good friends, envy is a common human trait. It’s normal for him to feel a bit displeased.”
Dong Wang Gong laughed heartily. He had always been at the mercy of Xu Fang before; now, he could finally hold his head high.
If Xu Fang knew Dong Wang Gong’s thoughts, he would probably regret not having eliminated this fellow back then.
Xu Fang, along with Kong Xuan, led the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue, and also stepped into Buzhou Mountain.
Buzhou Mountain, true to its origin as Pangu’s spine, was fraught with restrictions. Upon entering, they felt countless fierce winds rushing towards them.
The four quickly channeled their magical powers to resist, moving slowly up Buzhou Mountain.
The vastness of Buzhou Mountain was beyond imagination. The three thousand guests from Zixiao Palace, once inside, quickly disappeared from sight, unable to see each other. They all formed their own teams to seek opportunities.
Xu Fang gazed at the vast, desolate landscape and then at the treasure map in his hand, his anxiety growing. He didn't know when his innate gourd would be discovered.
Kong Xuan, seeing this, was quite understanding.
“Fellow Daoist, have you sensed the presence of any treasures?”
Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue both looked over. They were aware of Xu Fang’s unique divine abilities, which were wondrous.
“Indeed, there is a treasure, but it is far from here.”
Xu Fang glanced at the treasure map and estimated. With the cultivation realms of the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue, and having to resist the fierce winds of Buzhou Mountain, by the time they arrived, the treasure would likely have been discovered.
Kong Xuan, seeing Xu Fang’s troubled expression, immediately understood.
“If that is the case, by the time we arrive, the treasure will likely have been acquired by others. That would be truly regrettable.”
“How about this, you go ahead, Fellow Daoist. I will bring them along behind you.”
Kong Xuan looked at the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue and immediately proposed.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue heard this and understood. It seemed they themselves were holding back their senior!
“Yes, Senior, you go first. We will follow shortly.”
“Indeed! Let’s find the treasure first, and then we can slowly look for other treasures!”
The Golden-Winged Great Peng and Ao Xue quickly chimed in, unwilling to let Xu Fang lose a treasure because of their delay.
After all, their senior possessed such talent and divine abilities; he could sense for other treasures later.
Xu Fang glanced at the treasure map. Several treasures were already approaching the location of the innate gourd vine, likely because the immortals had also sensed something in the vague.
The situation was urgent, and Xu Fang quickly nodded.
“Alright! I’ll go ahead first, and you all follow.”
Having spoken, Xu Fang no longer hesitated. He fully channeled his magical powers, using a magical barrier to resist the fierce winds, and hurried towards the location of the innate gourd vine.
Traveling alone, Xu Fang was many times faster than before, gradually approaching the site of the innate gourd vine.
Xu Fang’s anxious heart finally relaxed considerably as he quickened his pace.
There was no other choice. Buzhou Mountain at this time had not yet collapsed after Gonggong’s angry ramming; here, one could only travel on foot.
Otherwise, with the treasure map as his guide, Xu Fang’s figure would have already descended upon the location of the innate gourd vine.
This was also the reason for Xu Fang’s constant unease. Even with the map in hand, if he couldn't move quickly, he wasn't confident he could reach the innate gourd vine before others!
However, after a strenuous journey, Xu Fang finally appeared at the location of the innate gourd vine.
“This is wonderful!”
Xu Fang breathed a sigh of relief. He had just seen many immortals loitering nearby, searching for something.
However, with their own senses, they were naturally not as convenient as Xu Fang with his map. They had no idea that the treasure was so close!
Xu Fang looked around. No immortals had yet set foot here. His anxious heart finally settled completely.
“This time, it’s good. I can finally take all these innate gourds into my possession!”
Xu Fang rejoiced inwardly. He had originally thought that with all the powerful beings searching for treasures together, he would only be able to snatch one or two innate gourds.
Now that no one had discovered this place, he naturally wouldn’t be polite and would take all these innate gourds for himself.
The anxiety and trepidation along the way could be considered a narrow escape.
Xu Fang thought to himself, and after confirming the location, he prepared to quietly break the formation and harvest the treasures.
Just then, as expected, the unexpected happened.
The ground where the innate gourd vine was located suddenly trembled violently, followed by a burst of light that spread outwards, releasing a powerful aura.
Simultaneously, a beam of light shot up into the sky!
