"Little White, a Saint preaching is a great opportunity. If you don't go listen, you'll miss out on it."
Nuwa earnestly tried to persuade Bai Chen. She truly didn't want him to miss this great opportunity.
"I'm not going!"
Bai Chen refused with just two words, then curled up on the meditation cushion and went back to sleep.
Great God Bai Chen had no desire to waste time listening to the first lecture at Purple Firmament Palace. He wanted to make a fortune. If he went to listen to the lecture, he would miss a huge opportunity to get rich.
Nuwa continued persuading Bai Chen until his ears practically grew calluses. He finally turned toward Fuxi and shouted:
"Sis-con, hurry up and drag Nuwa away. Stop disturbing Great God Bai Chen's sleep here."
Fuxi did not argue with Bai Chen this time. Instead, he cooperated and persuaded Nuwa, dragging her away.
"Little sister, it doesn't matter if this Fat Cat doesn't go. We siblings can listen carefully and share what we gain with him when we return."
Fuxi did not want to bring Bai Chen along either. He was afraid Bai Chen would fall asleep while listening at Purple Firmament Palace and end up dragging the two of them down with him.
"Sigh!"
After Fuxi repeatedly persuaded her, Nuwa saw that Bai Chen had already begun dozing off and helplessly sighed:
"Little White, you've truly become hopelessly lazy."
Nuwa felt that Yuanfeng had completely spoiled Bai Chen, making him so lazy that he was beyond saving.
Getting Bai Chen to become diligent was as difficult as attaining the Dao!
"Little White, your cultivation isn't high. Stay at Phoenix Perch Mountain and sleep. Don't run around!"
Before leaving, Nuwa gave Bai Chen one last warning.
Bai Chen could not even be bothered to answer Nuwa. He simply flicked his tail, signaling for Nuwa and Fuxi to hurry up and get lost.
At Pangu Hall on Buzhou Mountain...
Ever since the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity ended, the Pangu Blood Pool had begun giving birth to new Witches.
There were now quite a few Witches, and they had formed the Witch Clan!
The Witch Clan revered neither Heaven's Way nor anything else. They revered only Pangu and the Great Dao.
Among the Witch Clan, the Twelve Ancestor Witches were the most exalted, followed by the great Witches beneath them.
Jiu Feng, Chi You, Xing Tian, Da Yi, Kua Fu, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi were all outstanding among the great Witches.
Jiu Feng in particular possessed bloodline power far surpassing that of the other great Witches.
Because of Ancestor Hongjun's preaching, the Ancestor Witches were currently discussing whether they should go listen to the lecture.
Although Bai Chen had once given them some guidance about attaining the Dao and told them about the flaw in Heaven and the imperfection of Earth,
it was not until Heaven's Way awakened that the Twelve Ancestor Witches managed to gain a faint understanding:
There might be an Earthly Way in the Primordial Wilderness besides Heaven's Way.
The existence of the Earthly Way was still only a preliminary conjecture by the Ancestor Witches.
They had originally wanted to find Bai Chen and ask him, but ever since Bai Chen had gone out with Nuwa and the others, he had never returned to Buzhou Mountain. They had no idea where he was.
Now, the Ancestor Witches were considering whether they should go to Purple Firmament Palace to listen to the lecture and learn Ancestor Hongjun's Dao techniques.
"Eldest Brother, I want to go listen to the lecture. Little White might be going too.
"Even if we can't learn Hongjun's Dao techniques, we can ask Little White about our method of attaining the Dao."
Houtu was the first to speak up and state her position. Xuanming immediately followed in agreement.
The sisters Xuanming and Houtu could no longer remember how many eras had passed since they last saw Bai Chen. Who could understand the agony of a cat addiction flaring up?
It was all that detestable Nuwa's fault. She had secretly moved away, taken the cat with her, and refused to tell them where they were.
When they encountered Bai Chen this time, they would definitely rescue him from Nuwa and bring him back to Buzhou Mountain.
"Our two sisters are right. Then it's settled."
The Ancestor Witch Dijiang was not only the eldest brother among the Ancestor Witches, but also a veteran sis-con. He settled the matter with a single word.
The other Ancestor Witches did not object. Aside from being sis-cons themselves, they were also afraid of Dijiang's fists as their eldest brother.
In the blink of an eye, another two thousand years passed. Bai Chen, who had been dozing in Zu Fei Palace, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Two thousand years have passed, leaving only the final thousand. The Innate Divine Beasts and Innate Deities should have already gone to listen to the lecture."
Bai Chen felt that the time had come. It was time for Great God Bai Chen to go out and seek opportunities.
In fact, the situation outside Purple Firmament Palace was more or less as Bai Chen had expected.
There were still a thousand years before the time Ancestor Hongjun had set for preaching. The gates of Purple Firmament Palace had not yet opened, but many great figures from the Primordial Wilderness had already gathered outside.
Every one of these great figures was an Innate Divine Beast or an Innate Deity. The acquired Deities and acquired Divine Beasts, lacking sufficient fortune, had all been stopped outside Purple Firmament Palace and lost their way in Great Luo Heaven.
Bai Chen stretched his body, ready to make his move.
As for the first place he would search for treasures, Bai Chen had decided long ago. It was Queen Mother of the West's immortal paradise in the Western Kunlun Mountains.
Yuanfeng's assets should all have belonged to Great God Bai Chen, yet that ugly monster Queen Mother of the West had taken twenty percent.
He had demanded that she return it, but not only had she refused, she had even humiliated Great God Bai Chen.
If Great God Bai Chen did not go to Queen Mother of the West's cultivation ground to seek an opportunity, he would be letting that ugly monster off too easily.
Bai Chen acted as soon as he made up his mind. He left Phoenix Perch Mountain and flew toward the Western Kunlun Mountains.
After some time, Bai Chen finally arrived at the immortal paradise in the Western Kunlun Mountains.
While traveling, Bai Chen had already changed his appearance into that of a majestic, handsome Divine Lord in white robes.
After all, when one traveled outside, it was best to alter one's appearance.
Unfortunately, this Divine Lord in white robes was merely an appearance Bai Chen had transformed into. It was not Bai Chen's transformation into his innate Dao body.
There was still a great difference between this altered appearance and an innate Dao body. For example, it affected Bai Chen's combat strength.
Bai Chen looked at the restrictions outside Queen Mother of the West's cultivation ground and mockingly sneered:
"Queen Mother of the West, you still have time to set up a seal at your cultivation ground when you're going to listen to the lecture? You're not sincere at all, yet you still want Ancestor Hongjun to teach you the Saint's Dao? Dream on."
Because of the restrictions, Bai Chen was somewhat unhappy. This meant he would have to waste more of his precious time and magical power.
"A mere trick, and you dare show off your skill before Great God Bai Chen."
Although the protective restrictions around Queen Mother of the West's cultivation ground were well arranged, they were nothing in Bai Chen's eyes. They were all just crude tricks.
Before Bai Chen met Nuwa, he had already begun preparing for this search for opportunities.
He had spent countless eras studying how to break restrictions, all for the sake of making a grand haul this time. How could a mere Queen Mother of the West possibly stop him?
"Break!"
Bai Chen could not even be bothered to use the fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation. With a hand seal, he broke through all techniques with sheer force and ruthlessly shattered the protective restrictions around Queen Mother of the West's cultivation ground.
When it came to breaking restrictions, Great God Bai Chen was a professional.
The protective restrictions around Queen Mother of the West's cultivation ground were utterly incapable of withstanding a single blow before Great God Bai Chen.
Not long after Bai Chen entered the Western Kunlun immortal paradise, Gold Qilin led the attendants of Western Kunlun and blocked his path.
Although Gold Qilin's physical body had been slain by Bai Chen in the past, leaving him completely crippled,
Queen Mother of the West had used certain methods to help Gold Qilin condense a physical body.
Because Bai Chen's methods had been too ruthless, Queen Mother of the West still could not help Gold Qilin transform into human form.
However, with Queen Mother of the West's assistance, Gold Qilin had recondensed his Three Flowers on the Crown and recovered to the High-level Golden Immortal realm. He was merely the very weakest kind of High-level Golden Immortal.
Although Gold Qilin could not see through the depths of the Divine Lord in white robes before him, he could sense Innate Qi emanating from the other party.
Innate Qi was one of the symbols of an Innate Deity or Innate Divine Beast. There was no doubt that the other party was an innate great being.
"Greetings, Great God. I am Gold Qilin!"
Even though Gold Qilin knew that the being before him had come with hostile intent, he quickly bent his knee and saluted.
Although he too had condensed the Three Flowers on the Crown and was a High-level Golden Immortal, his High-level Golden Immortal status had not come from cultivation.
Instead, Queen Mother of the West had bestowed a great opportunity upon him. He had eaten the fruit of the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum and become a High-level Golden Immortal.
Although they were both High-level Golden Immortals, the other party was an Innate Deity or Innate Divine Beast, born as a High-level Golden Immortal.
He had only become a bottom-tier High-level Golden Immortal by relying on the fruit of the Yellow Middle Plum.
If he fought the other party, there would be only one outcome: a three-to-seven split. He would die seven times in three breaths!
"Great God, this is the cultivation ground of Queen Mother of the West. As an innate living being of noble status, please do not demean yourself."
"Please leave immediately, Great God. I absolutely will not tell Queen Mother of the West about this."
Because he feared Bai Chen's strength, Gold Qilin could only try to persuade him politely despite knowing that Bai Chen had come to plunder the place, while warning him in Queen Mother of the West's name.
"Annoying!"
Bai Chen backhanded him with a slap, sending Gold Qilin flying.
Did Gold Qilin really think Bai Chen could not guess how he had condensed the Three Flowers on the Crown and become a High-level Golden Immortal?
What was a bottom-tier High-level Golden Immortal who had relied on the fruit of the Yellow Middle Plum? What right did he have to call himself a High-level Golden Immortal? He was simply dragging down the rank's reputation.
For a bottom-tier High-level Golden Immortal like this, Great God Bai Chen could kill a whole group with one slap if he wished.
After slapping Gold Qilin until he was half-dead, Bai Chen began scolding him:
"Gold Qilin, what is Queen Mother of the West supposed to be? She's merely a being transformed from Pure Yin Qi, yet she dares invoke her name to threaten me."
