Disciple of the Three Pure Ones, a Talented Student! Great Witch Guards the Mountain Gate?

Just as Qin Mu and Duobao were sizing up the living beings in line.

Yu Ding's gaze kept drifting between the two of them.

Earlier, when he saw Qin Mu and Duobao arrive, he had faintly sensed a layer of inexplicable karma entwining around them, as if they shared some mysterious connection with the Heavenly Dao.

Having cultivated for many years, he was quite sensitive to the movements of heavenly secrets.

It was precisely for this reason that he had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation, hoping to get to the bottom of it.

What left Yu Ding utterly astonished was this.

Duobao Daoist could be set aside, but Qin Mu turned out to be a disciple of the Three Pure Ones.

In this Great Desolation World, who didn't know the name of the Three Pure Ones?

Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, personally taught by the Dao Ancestor, destined to become the most supreme Saint lineages of heaven and earth in the future!

Countless Great Experts had racked their brains trying to become disciples of the Three Pure Ones, yet couldn't even find their mountain gate.

But today, he had actually encountered a true disciple of the Three Pure Ones!

"This Qin Mu must be extraordinary to have been accepted by the Three Pure Ones."

"If I can forge a good connection with him here, it might greatly benefit me in the future."

"Perhaps I can even use this relationship to become a disciple of the Three Pure Ones myself."

Thinking this, Yu Ding's heart surged with excitement.

In the current Great Desolation, everyone knew.

The Dao Ancestor Hongjun's third sermon had already distributed the Saint seats. The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the two Westerners would become the Six Saints of the heavens in the future.

If he could also become a disciple of a Saint like Qin Mu, wouldn't that be a leap to the heavens?

Just as Yu Ding was lost in his fantasies, Qin Mu withdrew his gaze and asked:

"Daoist Yu Ding, why are so many people lining up at Buzhou Mountain? Are there conditions required to enter?"

At the same time, Duobao also turned to look at Yu Ding:

"Yes!"

"If you want to enter Buzhou Mountain, why not just go straight in? Why do you need to line up?"

In Qin Mu and Duobao's view, the opportunities within Buzhou Mountain must have countless beings flocking to them.

Everyone wanted to claim the treasures and fortunes for themselves.

Why would they obediently line up?

Seeing Qin Mu and Duobao's puzzled expressions, Yu Ding smiled helplessly and then explained:

"You two fellow daoists don't know this."

"Although Buzhou Mountain was formed from the spine of the Great God Pangu, and its opportunities naturally go to those fated to receive them..."

"Right now, this place is the territory of the Witch Clan."

"The Witch Clan doesn't cultivate the Primordial Spirit, only tempering their physical bodies, but their strength is formidable. Especially the Twelve Ancestral Witches—each one is a Quasi-Saint level existence. Who would dare to force their way in?"

Saying this, Yu Ding paused briefly, then looked toward the entrance at the front before continuing:

"To enter Buzhou Mountain, you must obtain the approval of the Witch Clan."

"The Witch Clan loves battle."

"They have set up a challenge at the entrance. Only by defeating the Witch guarding the entrance can you earn the right to enter Buzhou Mountain!"

After Yu Ding's explanation, Qin Mu and Duobao finally understood.

"I see."

"I thought one could just go straight in."

"I didn't expect the Witch Clan to be guarding this place!"

Duobao remarked, then turned to look at Qin Mu and asked:

"Daoist Qin Mu."

"What do you think?"

Qin Mu smiled slightly and replied:

"Since this place is under the Witch Clan's control, we naturally have to follow their rules."

Hearing this, Duobao nodded and thought to himself:

"I wonder how strong the Witch guarding the entrance actually is?"

"Boom!"

Little did he know, just as Duobao was pondering this, a deafening roar suddenly came from the entrance ahead.

Startled, Qin Mu and the other two quickly looked toward the sound.

What they saw was a figure flying backward like a meteor, then crashing heavily into a nearby mountain wall.

Struck by this impact, that mountain body instantly split apart, kicking up a sky full of dust.

Before long, the turmoil subsided and the dust scattered.

Looking closely, they saw a creature with Golden Immortal cultivation collapsed limply on the ground, breathing faintly, clearly gravely wounded.

"This?"

"Even a Golden Immortal creature can't withstand it?"

"Just who among the Witch Clan is guarding the entrance to Buzhou Mountain?"

Duobao stammered, his heart trembling with fear.

After all, he himself was only at the Golden Immortal realm right now.

Seeing this, Qin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and silently sighed:

"The Witch Clan truly are formidable!"

With that thought, Qin Mu steadied his mind, glanced at Duobao and True Man Yu Ding, and said:

"Come, let's go up and take a look!"

With that, the three didn't dawdle and moved toward the entrance ahead.

Before long, Qin Mu and his companions had reached the very front.

They saw that on a patch of open ground at the entrance, another creature flew forward to challenge the Witch Clan member guarding the way.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Bang, bang..."

As the two exchanged blows, the earth shook and the mountains swayed.

But soon, that creature was sent flying by a single punch from the Witch Clan member.

"Is there anyone else who dares to challenge?"

A thunderous roar exploded like a clap of thunder, stinging the ears of the many creatures present.

Qin Mu fixed his gaze and saw a giant standing proudly on the open ground at the entrance. His form was towering, his muscles coiled like twisting dragons.

On his skin gleamed a bronze-like luster, his eyes blazed like torches, and Sha Qi surged to the heavens.

With just a brief look, Qin Mu could tell.

This Witch Clan member guarding the entrance was a Great Witch.

"So it's a Great Witch standing guard here!"

Qin Mu couldn't help but exclaim.

He knew that in the Witch Clan, bloodline was paramount.

Below the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Great Witches were the strongest.

The entire Witch Clan did not cultivate the Primordial Spirit nor walk the Immortal Path, yet their physical strength could shake mountains and rivers.

Ordinary Golden Immortals were utterly powerless before them!

"Gulp..."

Seeing another Golden Immortal sent flying by the Great Witch, Duobao swallowed hard and silently lamented:

"A Golden Immortal's cultivation is simply no match for this Great Witch."

"The treasure mountain is right before us, but we can't get in!"

After a moment's thought, Duobao glanced at Qin Mu.

He himself was at the Golden Immortal realm, but Qin Mu was a rank higher, already at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level.

Moreover, during the earlier struggle for the Innate Spiritual Root, the Yellow Central Plum, when Qin Mu made his move, he had killed a late-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal with his early-stage cultivation.

In Duobao's view, Qin Mu had a good chance of succeeding in the challenge and entering Buzhou Mountain.

After pondering a bit, Duobao snapped back to reality, turned his gaze, and looked at True Man Yu Ding:

"Might I ask, Fellow Daoist Yu Ding?"

"Have you stepped forward to challenge before?"

Hearing Duobao's sudden question, a look of embarrassment flashed across True Man Yu Ding's face.

He paused briefly, then gave an awkward smile before replying:

"To be honest, before this, This Humble One did step forward to challenge."

"Unfortunately, with my Golden Immortal cultivation, I was no match for that Great Witch."

"I only lasted a few exchanges before I was defeated."

Having said this, True Man Yu Ding shook his head and sighed helplessly.

After hearing what True Man Yu Ding said, Duobao's heart tightened, and he grew hesitant.

Standing nearby, Qin Mu narrowed his eyes, a glint of sharp light flashing within them as he fixed his gaze squarely on the Great Witch, murmuring softly:

"It's no wonder the Witch Clan can dominate a region of the Primordial Wilderness."

"Their physical bodies are truly terrifyingly strong!"
