52: The treasure is captivating, and West Kunlun enters the fray.
"This..."
Seeing this, Bai Ze was a bit dumbfounded.
He never expected that the Queen Mother of the West, a mere woman, would be so strong and sharp.
Especially the Cultivators beside her; they were all staring at him like mad dogs at this moment, making him feel the crisis and urgency of death!
For a moment, Bai Ze couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly spoke: "Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, what I said is absolutely true!"
"We received news that there are indeed traces of an innate supreme treasure within Mount Buzhou, but the exact location is unclear and requires searching after breaking in."
"Of course, I can swear that this news is real, with absolutely no falsehood involved!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the breathing of the Queen Mother of the West and the Great Divine Power Holders present quickened by several degrees!
If before they only had some suspicions, thinking Bai Ze came to gather people to help the Demon God Palace against the Witch Race,
then under Bai Ze's current words, they wavered.
An innate supreme treasure!
That is an innate supreme treasure; who could not be moved? Who could not care?
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire hall was deathly silent and oppressive.
Bai Ze also breathed a sigh of relief; at least everyone no longer intended to attack, which put him much more at ease.
Only Li Yun's brow was furrowed at this moment.
Bai Ze's words and posture already indicated that the Demon God Palace had indeed received news and was even fully certain of the existence of a treasure within Mount Buzhou.
But how was this possible?
As far as he knew, there were no innate supreme treasures within Mount Buzhou.
Any slightly powerful treasures or valuable items had basically been plucked by him or collected by the Witch Race.
If there was an innate supreme treasure, why was there no news before, only for it to be leaked at such a critical moment?
One must know, the Demon God Palace was clearly struggling at this point; otherwise, they wouldn't choose to seek help instead of searching for it themselves while knowing the information about the innate supreme treasure.
If so, was there someone manipulating things behind the scenes? Was it done intentionally to help the declining Demon God Palace, oppose the Witch Race, and prevent their rise?
Thinking of this, Li Yun felt that this matter was a huge conspiracy.
He even highly suspected that this was likely orchestrated by Hongjun or the Heavenly Dao.
Hongjun had not yet Attained the Dao and become a Saint.
But so many years had passed since the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity; he should have reached a point close to success.
Therefore, for his own future and plans, Hongjun would absolutely not allow the Witch Race to rise so early, or even let the Twelve Ancestral Witches enter the Quasi-Saint realm first to seize more of the Great Desolation's Luck!
Moreover, for an ordinary Cultivator, an innate supreme treasure was indeed something they couldn't produce, but if it was Hongjun, that was a different story.
After all, as far as he knew, the number of innate supreme treasures in Hongjun's hands was quite large, such as the taiji diagram, pangu banner, qiankun cauldron, god slaying spear, and so on!
Besides that, the Heavenly Dao was also a possibility.
After all, the Heavenly Dao seemingly had no wisdom and was merely a combination of rules responsible for maintaining the order and stability of the Great Desolation.
But in reality, the existence of the Heavenly Dao itself was irrational, and whether it was the Vicious Beast Calamity of the Era of Primeval Beginnings or the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity of the Ancient Era, these events were all driven by the Heavenly Dao.
Because of this, it wasn't impossible for the Heavenly Dao to want to suppress the Witch Race at this stage; producing an innate supreme treasure wouldn't be a difficult task for it.
"This is tricky."
"The Witch Race I worked so hard to support; if they are besieged by the gods of the Great Desolation, they will probably be beaten back to their original state very quickly!"
"Once the Witch Race is beaten back and the sense of urgency from the Twelve Ancestral Witches is gone, the Three Pure Ones might find it difficult to complete their Breakthrough in a short time. At that time..."
For a moment, the thoughts in Li Yun's mind shifted incessantly.
Compared to the so-called innate supreme treasure or the foundation of the Demon God Palace, he cared more about the situation of the Witch Race, as it concerned his plans and layout.
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, I'll believe you this once!"
At this moment, the voice of the Queen Mother of the West echoed through the hall.
After a brief hesitation, although she knew there were risks involved, she still couldn't suppress her inner desire for an innate supreme treasure.
Because of this, she chose to head to Mount Buzhou to participate in the battlefield where the Witch Race and the Demon God Palace were fighting!
As soon as the Queen Mother of the West spoke, the other Cultivators in the room also responded one after another: "Since Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West is going, we will naturally go together!"
"Exactly, the West Kunlun lineage should stand united!"
"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, let's set out together. It's the perfect chance to see the situation of the battle between the Witch Race and the Demon God Palace."
"..."
As they spoke, the group was eager to move, looking as if they were about to set off immediately.
Among the crowd, Bai Ze was even more excited.
After all, since the Queen Mother of the West and the others agreed to go, his task was considered complete. With the addition of this group, the Demon God Palace's chances of winning would also increase significantly.
"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, what do you think?"
Looking at the restless crowd, Tongtian also spoke up with some hesitation.
Not only was the innate supreme treasure enticing.
More importantly, the Demon God Palace was clearly going to receive a large amount of help this time. In this way, the difficulty for the Witch Race to crush them would also increase significantly.
As a result, could this opportunity be used to suppress the rise of the Witch Race and the possibility of the Ancestral Witches attempting to use Luck to Breakthrough from the Grand Unity Golden Immortal to the Quasi-Saint realm?
"Not much!"
Coming back to his senses, Li Yun glanced at the conflicted Tongtian, having roughly seen through his thoughts. He shook his head and said, "I will not go to the area of Mount Buzhou to take risks, but how you choose to act depends on your own intentions, Fellow Daoist."
"However, there's one thing you must be clear about: if you succeed, that's fine, but if you fail, then..."
At this point, Li Yun did not continue.
But Tongtian understood his meaning.
Once they failed, the Three Pure Ones would completely tear off all pretenses with the Ancestral Witches.
Once they failed and the Ancestral Witches advanced to the Quasi-Saint realm while they had not yet advanced, what would await them would be a crushing battle for the orthodox lineage of pangu. At that time... "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, are you coming with us?" At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly spoke.
For a moment, the room fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Tongtian.
Including Bai Ze in the crowd, who was also full of anticipation.
After all, the reputation of the Three Pure Ones was beyond doubt, and their strength was even more so. If the Three Pure Ones helped the Demon God Palace, it wouldn't just be about blocking the Witch Race's attack; there would even be the possibility of a counterattack or even invading Mount Buzhou.
"Go ahead, Fellow Daoists!"
Facing the gazes, Tongtian stood up, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "I will go back and discuss it with my eldest and second brothers. Whether or not to participate still needs some discussion."
"Since you all are about to set off, I won't disturb you any longer. Fellow Daoist Li Yun, let's go!"
"Alright!"
With a response, Li Yun stood up, gave a salute to the Queen Mother of the West and the others, and followed Tongtian directly out.
