First Kirin's Unease

There had never been roads in the world; where enough people walked, roads came into being.

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain lay the Kirin Clan's ancestral land, with no shortage of major and minor roads.

Some roads were merely paved with broad stones, while others used rare materials.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lu Ya bypassed a main road paved with obsidian, yet still ran into trouble.

He had not wished to start a conflict with the Kirin Clan. Since coming to the foot of Buzhou Mountain, Lu Ya had avoided stirring up trouble, but sometimes avoiding it was not enough.

Now, a barrier blocked the path ahead.

"The Kirin Clan is going a bit too far." Lu Ya frowned.

There was neither a road nor a Kirin Clan tribe here, yet the Kirin Clan had still set up a barrier. That was rather overbearing.

Did Buzhou Mountain belong to the Kirin Clan? Did First Kirin dare say such a thing?

He released his Divine Sense and carefully examined the barrier before him.

The barrier covered an extremely vast area, but it did not completely enclose the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

In other words, the Kirin Clan had left a "route" for going up and down the mountain?

This barrier was undoubtedly one of the Kirin Clan's rules.

Clearly, members of the Kirin Clan could enter and leave this barrier at will, while non-Kirin Clan members had to use designated routes.

Perhaps the Kirin Clan even prohibited flying.

As he drew closer to Buzhou Mountain, Lu Ya no longer saw anyone flying through the skies or burrowing through the earth.

Should he say the Kirin Clan had strict rules?

In truth, the Phoenix Clan's rules were no less strict.

The Dragon Clan, known as the number one race of the Primordial World, had surely established quite a few rules as well.

Without rules, there could be no order.

For a great clan like the Kirin Clan, setting some rules was understandable. But erecting a barrier that covered nearly the entire foot of Buzhou Mountain was excessively overbearing.

If one lacked strength and backing, then before the Kirin Clan's rules, one could only obediently comply.

But using such rules to restrain Lu Ya was laughable.

He had deliberately avoided the Kirin Clan's tribes and roads because he wanted to avoid trouble.

Though he was not afraid of trouble, he did not like it either.

But now, trouble had come.

Although Lu Ya could reveal his identity, and even First Kirin would treat him courteously, he found it troublesome.

This barrier was no trivial matter. Even Grand Unity level Magic Power would find it difficult to break open a gap.

Relying on his own Magic Power alone, it would be difficult for Lu Ya to open a gap in this barrier.

He had to borrow the Sun Star's power again.

He connected with the Sun Star.

In an instant, a vast surge of Magic Power crossed the void and empowered Lu Ya.

For a time, Lu Ya possessed the Magic Power of one Calamity.

That was the minimum standard for a Quasi-Saint.

With Quasi-Sage Magic Power, completely destroying this barrier would not be easy, but opening a mere gap would be effortless.

This Great Barrier covered nearly the entire foot of Buzhou Mountain. The difficulty of completely destroying it was easy to imagine.

And for the Kirin Clan to establish such a barrier, they must have invested no small amount of effort.

The foot of Buzhou Mountain was the birthplace of the Kirin Clan.

First Kirin himself had been born beneath Buzhou Mountain.

From First Kirin's birth until now, many Cosmic Epochs had passed, and the Kirin Clan's development beneath Buzhou Mountain had naturally been extensive.

Of course, many Kirin had also been born on Kunlun Mountain.

Kirin were auspicious beasts, the leaders of the Hairy Insects throughout the heavens.

They were moved by the wind and born from the heavens.

Besides the foot of Buzhou Mountain and Kunlun Mountain, many blessed lands had also given birth to Kirin.

And the Kirin scattered throughout the Primordial World all revered First Kirin.

"Crack!"

With a wave of Lu Ya's hand, the vast Magic Power of one Calamity erupted.

The void before him shattered, space and time fell into disorder, and even the Heaven and Earth Laws trembled.

Even a great universe would have been reduced to ruin beneath this power.

A deep black fissure appeared in the barrier blocking Lu Ya, stretching hundreds of thousands of li.

Within the fissure, the Five Elements were in chaos, yin and yang were reversed, all phenomena were displaced, and even Postnatal Grade earth, water, fire, and wind surged within.

Even a Heavenly Immortal would suffer Death and Dao Annihilation in an instant upon entering.

Yet Lu Ya ignored it and stepped inside.

The moment he entered the black fissure, the world spun around him.

It was incomparably dangerous to Heavenly Immortals, and even True Immortals would be left in a sorry state if careless. But with Lu Ya's current cultivation, he naturally had no need to care.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ya passed through the barrier.

Then, transforming into a rainbow streak of light, he flew toward Buzhou Mountain.

As for the gap in the barrier, if the Kirin Clan did not repair it, it would heal itself after several hundred years.

Opening a gap in the Kirin Clan's Great Barrier with Quasi-Sage Magic Power would inevitably alarm many Kirin Clan experts, but that was not within Lu Ya's considerations.

Large and small tribes were scattered throughout the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Those qualified to establish tribes beneath Buzhou Mountain were either members of the Kirin Clan or some of its vassals.

Within the largest tribe, magnificent palaces were shrouded in divine radiance.

Suddenly, Innate Five Elements Qi surged wildly, and First Kirin, who had been in seclusion, emerged from a palace.

First Kirin stared gravely in one direction.

Without any visible movement, he crossed hundreds of millions of li in an instant.

In terms of the Five Elements Evasion Technique, there were few in the entire Primordial World who could compare with First Kirin.

More than two billion years of Magic Power appeared around First Kirin.

One Calamity of Magic Power amounted to slightly more than 6.4 billion years, and that was merely the minimum standard for a Quasi-Saint.

From this, it was clear that First Kirin's cultivation was still far from reaching the Quasi-Saint realm.

But among Grand Unity level cultivators, First Kirin could be considered powerful.

Among the current Grand Unity cultivators of the Primordial World, First Kirin was absolutely among the very best.

The Great Barrier set beneath Buzhou Mountain was an important defensive line for the Kirin Clan. When someone broke it, First Kirin was the first to sense it.

At the same time, more than a thousand Kirin sensed it as well.

As First Kirin fully unleashed the Five Elements Evasion Technique, dazzling streams of light darted through the void at astonishing speed.

Before long, First Kirin arrived outside a Teleportation Array.

He stepped into the Teleportation Array.

Space twisted, and in an instant, he arrived several hundred dasu away.

Hundreds of millions of li was merely a small number in the Primordial World. Beyond that came zhao, jing, and gai, while dasu came after more than a dozen units.

Several hundred dasu was no short distance. Even a Grand Unity cultivator proficient in evasion techniques would need a long time to cross it.

After teleporting once, First Kirin raised his Evasion Light again.

After a long while, First Kirin withdrew his Evasion Light before an enormous black fissure.

As he carefully examined the fissure before him, First Kirin's expression grew increasingly grave.

The force that had caused this fissure possessed no less than six billion years of Magic Power.

A Hunyuan level being above the Grand Unity level?

In First Kirin's understanding, the only being who had possessed the Magic Power of one Calamity was the Fierce Beast Emperor, Shen Ni, before his fall.

Could the Primordial World actually be hiding a Hunyuan level great power?

After all, the fissure before him could not be faked.

If it was even a Hunyuan level being who had attained the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, that would be even more terrifying.

It had to be said that First Kirin's understanding of the Hunyuan Dao Fruit was still lacking.

Those who attained the Grand Unity Dao Fruit experienced little change in their Magic Power, which led First Kirin to make an erroneous conjecture about the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

Little did he know that upon attaining the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, one's Magic Power immediately reached at least one Immeasurable Calamity, which was slightly more than three hundred quintillion years.

The Magic Power of one Calamity was already enough to make First Kirin deeply wary.

More importantly, the foot of Buzhou Mountain was the ancestral land of his Kirin Clan. The Kirin Clan had established the Great Barrier beneath Buzhou Mountain and spent many Cosmic Epochs perfecting it.

What did it mean for someone to break a gap in this barrier?

Could some mysterious Hunyuan level being bear ill will toward the Kirin Clan?

As he pondered deeply, unease arose in First Kirin's heart.

Although the Kirin Clan was blessed by destiny, if a Hunyuan level being were hostile toward the Kirin Clan, First Kirin would be unable to eat or sleep in peace.

As time passed, two more Kirin with Grand Unity level cultivation arrived.

At present, including First Kirin, the Kirin Clan had three Grand Unity cultivators.

But only First Kirin had attained the Grand Unity Dao Fruit. The other two Grand Unity cultivators had only attained the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

"What divine being dares act so presumptuously?"

"How dare they break our clan's protective barrier? This cannot be forgiven."

The two Grand Unity level Kirin who had arrived looked at the black fissure, both filled with fury.

"It is a being whose Magic Power is no weaker than Shen Ni's," First Kirin said only one sentence.

"W-what?"

"This..."

The two Grand Unity level Kirin behind First Kirin looked at each other.

A Hunyuan level being?

They could not afford to provoke such an existence!

This matter should not be pursued, and they needed to keep a low profile.
