"If not for the heavens' benevolent nature, I would have killed you with a single slap."
Bai Chen didn't kill the Gold Qilin, not out of mercy, but because the suspicion would be too great.
If it killed the Gold Qilin and didn't attend the sermon this time, it would be easy for the Queen Mother of the West to suspect Bai Chen.
Although Bai Chen didn't expect to keep this a secret forever, before Nuwa was accepted as a disciple by Ancestor Hongjun and designated as a future Saint, it absolutely could not be exposed.
Once Nuwa became a Saint, even if the Queen Mother of the West knew Bai Chen had raided her Dojo, she would have to endure it.
Bai Chen suppressed all of the Queen Mother of the West's attendants and immediately began searching for opportunities in the Western Kunlun Immortal Realm.
"This one's good, take it!"
"This one's alright, take it!"
"I don't have this one yet, take it!"
"Whichever one has fate with this Great God, take it!"
"Take it, take it, pack it all up and take it!"
As Bai Chen rampaged through the Queen Mother of the West's Dojo, it finally discovered the treasure that anchored the place.
"Hahaha!"
Bai Chen couldn't help but laugh heartily as it looked at the treasure that anchored the place.
Because this treasure was the Innate Spiritual Root, the Yellow Middle Plum.
The Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum flowers once every ten thousand years, fruits once every ten thousand years, and matures after another ten thousand years. In thirty thousand years, it only yields nine fruits.
Its flowers resemble lotuses, and its fruits resemble pistils. Both bear the characters "Yellow Middle" on them.
Consuming it can condense the Three Flowers on the Crown, achieving the Dao Fruit of a High-level Golden Immortal, which is the Great Luo Golden Immortal in later generations, but it has side effects.
Bai Chen had known for a long time that the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum was in the Queen Mother of the West's possession, which was why it chose to visit the Queen Mother of the West's Dojo first.
Originally, Bai Chen was just hoping to get lucky and see if it could find the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum.
To its surprise, it actually found it. The Queen Mother of the West was also foolish enough not to take the Yellow Middle Plum, such an Innate Spiritual Root, with her.
As expected, Bai Chen was blessed with great fortune; this Innate Spiritual Root was fated to be with it.
In reality, once the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum was planted, it could not be moved.
At best, it would affect the future yields of the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum for several rounds. At worst, it would affect the foundation of the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum, causing irreversible damage.
Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West did not take the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum with her. Of course, this was indeed the Queen Mother of the West's carelessness; she never expected anyone would dare to raid her Dojo.
After all, the Queen Mother of the West considered herself a powerful figure, with few enemies daring to provoke her.
"This Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum belongs to me now."
Bai Chen pocketed the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum. Whether its innate foundation was harmed was not its concern.
Even if it was truly damaged, so what?
Great God Bai Chen possessed the top-tier Spiritual Treasure, Innate Breathing Soil, and could still nurture the Yellow Middle Plum back to health.
After Bai Chen finished plundering the Queen Mother of the West's Dojo, it left with a flourish.
The Queen Mother of the West's Dojo had already vanished, not even a single brick or tile was left behind by Bai Chen.
Great God Bai Chen, as an Innate Divine Beast, had to be thrifty and manage its household well; not a single brick or tile should be wasted.
Taking them back to expand Great God Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace, wouldn't that be good?
After Bai Chen left, the severely injured Gold Qilin got up, gritting its teeth and cursing:
"Damn fellow, as a dignified Innate expert, to actually take advantage of the Queen Mother of the West's absence to raid her home, how shameful, how shameless!"
The Gold Qilin had encountered many Innate Divine Beasts and Innate Deities in the past, but it had never seen such a shameless individual.
"Damn fellow, you actually crippled my cultivation."
That's right, although Bai Chen's previous slap didn't kill the Gold Qilin.
It had destroyed the Gold Qilin's Three Flowers on the Crown again, stripping away its cultivation.
Now that the Queen Mother of the West's Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum had been taken by Bai Chen.
It would not be easy for the Gold Qilin to become a High-level Golden Immortal again.
After Bai Chen left the Western Kunlun, it quickly flew to the east of Kunlun Mountain and stopped.
"That's Kunlun Ruins. Should I also go and seek opportunities there?"
Bai Chen looked at Kunlun Ruins with hesitation. It somewhat wanted to enter and seek opportunities.
But Kunlun Ruins were different from the Western Kunlun Immortal Realm. Kunlun Ruins were the Dojo of the Three Pure Ones, while the Western Kunlun Immortal Realm was the Dojo of the Queen Mother of the West.
The Three Pure Ones could Prove the Dao and become Saints of the Heavenly Dao, while the Queen Mother of the West could not.
"Forget it. Their three brothers will eventually Prove the Dao and become Saints. If they discover later that I went to their Dojo to seek opportunities, Nuwa might not be able to protect me."
Bai Chen hesitated for a moment and finally made a decision.
The risk of seeking opportunities in Kunlun Ruins was disproportionate to the reward; it wasn't worth the gamble.
Therefore, Great God Bai Chen decided to give the Three Pure Ones some face and let them off the hook.
"Next stop, East Gaze Mountain!"
"Bai Ze, you dared to kill my clone back then. Now I'll go to your dojo to find opportunities."
Bai Chen quickly locked onto the next place of opportunity. Back then, it had dispatched countless clones from Buzhou Mountain to find Yuan Feng, and most of them were killed.
Bai Chen remembered all those who had killed its clones, and Bai Ze of East Gaze Mountain was one of them.
Those people killed Great God Bai Chen's clones in the past, and now it was going to raid their homes. This was called retribution.
In the blink of an eye, another four to five hundred years passed. Bai Chen had visited the dojos of countless Innate Great Powers.
Some of them had grudges with Bai Chen. Not only did Bai Chen raid their dojos, but it also killed and ate their young disciples and servants.
Niu Yang Mountain...
Outside the dojo of the Innate Divine Beast Lu Shu, two figures were trying to break through the dojo's protective restrictions.
Just as the two figures were about to break through the dojo's restrictions, a loud shout suddenly came:
"Fellow Daoists, what are you doing outside this humble Daoist's dojo?"
Following the loud shout, a Divine Lord in white robes arrived, riding the clouds.
The arrival was none other than Bai Chen. This place was what Great God Bai Chen had set its sights on, and it had to drive away these two scoundrels.
As for these two scoundrels, Bai Chen knew their identities without even asking.
The future shame of the Saints, the swindling Saint--Zhunti!
The brainwashing Saint--Jieyin!
Because of Bai Chen's appearance, Zhunti and Jieyin stopped.
"Fellow Daoist, what should I call you?"
Zhunti, feeling guilty, quickly cupped his fists and bowed to change the subject.
"This humble Daoist is Bai Ze!"
Bai Chen loudly announced its name, not afraid of Zhunti and Jieyin knowing.
That's right, Great God Bai Chen had just given itself a new nickname: Bai Ze!
Who said only Bai Ze could be called Bai Ze in the Primordial Era, and other beings couldn't use this name?
He, Bai Ze, didn't have that qualification yet!
Bai Ze: Bai Chen, you thieving cat! You stole my dojo, killed my disciples and servants, and now you're impersonating me to do evil and frame me. You truly deserve to die!
"Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, is this really your dojo?"
Zhunti was a little suspicious of Bai Chen's identity. If Bai Chen had come out from inside the dojo, neither of them would have doubted it.
But Bai Chen had returned from the outside, and Zhunti had to suspect that Bai Chen was like them, trying to take advantage of the original owner's absence.
You must know that during this period, Zhunti and Jieyin had already encountered several dojos that had been robbed.
"This is not my dojo, could it be yours?"
Bai Chen was very confident, as if this really were its dojo.
"Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Bai Ze prove it?"
Jieyin, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly chimed in, signaling Zhunti to move aside and make room for Bai Chen.
As for the method of proof, it was self-evident: let Bai Chen open the dojo's restrictions.
"Break!"
Bai Chen formed a hand seal and shot out a divine light. The dojo's restrictions dissipated.
Bai Chen's speed was so fast, it was as if the dojo were truly its home.
Seeing Bai Chen open the dojo's restrictions, Zhunti's face turned grim.
Their brotherhood had come out to seek opportunities and encountered the dojo's owner. What was this?
"Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, my Daoist brother and I sensed an opportunity here. We truly didn't expect this to be Fellow Daoist Bai Ze's dojo. How truly regrettable!"
Zhunti, feeling guilty, shamelessly bowed and apologized to Bai Chen, then winked at Jieyin, signaling to leave.
Jieyin ignored Zhunti's glance and instead burst into laughter:
"Younger brother, Fellow Daoist Bai Ze is just joking with us."
Although Zhunti hadn't seen anything special when Bai Chen broke the restrictions, Jieyin had noticed something.
"Younger brother, this is not Fellow Daoist Bai Ze's dojo. The Daoist magic and divine abilities that Fellow Daoist Bai Ze just used, while appearing to be a method of unlocking restrictions, were actually a method of breaking restrictions."
