Primordial Wilderness: This poor Daoist Yun Xiao, Saint of Three Immortal Island!

Just then, Ao Feng suddenly asked.

"I do not know, but surely the Dragon Clan has great ones who can deduce it. Though this woman is somewhat strange, if we ask a clan elder to act, she can certainly be slain," the Whale Ancestor quickly replied.

If the Dragon Clan made a move, no matter how far she fled to the ends of the earth, she would still end up dead!

"Her origins must be divined, but killing her—that is entirely unnecessary."

Ao Feng looked at his wrist, where the wound had already healed, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Kill her? No.

Woman, you have successfully caught my attention.

"Why not kill her?"

The Whale Ancestor stared at Ao Feng in surprise. If he could read minds, he would have jumped up in shock.

What kind of masochistic constitution is this!

"Do I need to explain my actions to you?"

Ao Feng spoke indifferently, then turned and walked away. The Whale Ancestor paused for a moment before hurriedly following, utterly bewildered.

"The Dragon Clan's physical body is indeed formidable. Even with the Twelve Sea Calming Divine Pearls, I could only severely wound him, not slay him."

At this moment, a white cloud descended upon an island, taking the form of Yun Xiao.

The Dragon Clan's flesh was unmatched, and this was a Pure-blooded Golden Dragon at that. Even after being struck hard by the Sea Calming Divine Pearls, it only forced him into his dragon form.

Thus, Yun Xiao had no intention of lingering with Ao Feng. After heavily injuring him, she took her spiritual treasure and fled.

"Weng—"

Then, with a thought from Yun Xiao, a Spiritual Mirror instantly floated out.

She submerged her divine sense into the Spiritual Mirror, and at the same time, a stream of information flooded into her mind.

"Innate High-grade spiritual treasure, the Enlightenment Mirror?"

Yun Xiao's expression lit up with joy.

As expected, it was an enlightenment treasure. Within it were thirty-six layers of prohibitions, making it a top-tier treasure even among Innate High-grade artifacts!

Unlocking the first eight prohibitions would increase enlightenment a hundredfold.

Nine to fifteen, a thousandfold.

Sixteen to twenty-four, ten thousandfold.

All thirty-six fully unlocked, a millionfold!

For Yun Xiao, who urgently needed to boost her strength, this was nothing short of a timely gift!

With that thought, she immediately began breaking the prohibitions within. In less than ten years, she had already unlocked sixteen!

At this moment, the Spiritual Mirror emitted a profound fluctuation, accompanied by faint, elusive Dao Sounds. This made Yun Xiao's perception of heaven and earth clearer and more thorough, and her cultivation directly took a great leap forward, showing signs of breaking through to the mid Golden Immortal stage!

"What a wondrous feeling."

Yun Xiao held the Enlightenment Mirror above her head, bathed in a radiance, entering a special state of unity between heaven and man. Everything around her became so clear and intimate.

"Roar!"

But just then, a series of dragon roars shattered the brief tranquility.

"I'd better leave this place first. Offending a Pure-blooded Golden Dragon—if I'm found, it'll be trouble."

Yun Xiao looked up and saw massive dragon silhouettes flying overhead, exuding an indescribable pressure.

It was clear that these dragons were not targeting her, but staying too long in the East Sea—no one could guarantee what might happen.

With that thought, Yun Xiao transformed into a white cloud and flew northwest.

When she decided to leave, she had already settled on her next destination.

That was the backbone of the Primordial Wilderness—Buzhou Mountain!

"Hu~"

In the sky, a white cloud tore through the air, weaving between the clouds at a trajectory barely visible to the naked eye.

This white cloud was naturally Yun Xiao, hurrying toward Buzhou Mountain.

However, the Primordial Wilderness was vast beyond measure. Even with her incredible speed, after several years of flight, she had only barely covered half the distance.

"Thankfully, I have Barrier Penetrating Insight. Otherwise, I would have missed countless opportunities along the way."

Inside a divine mountain, Yun Xiao stepped out of a prohibition, looking at the Innate Spiritual Treasure in her hand and letting out a sigh of admiration.

Having this divine ability was simply too comfortable!

Especially now, in the early days of the world's creation, opportunities were everywhere. Though she hadn't encountered any earth-shattering fortune, she had gathered quite a few scattered Innate Spiritual Treasures and spiritual roots along the way. Contentment brought its own joy.

"Hm?"

Just then, Yun Xiao's heart stirred, and with a flicker she appeared above a lake.

Under Barrier Penetrating Insight, she could clearly see that the lake was surrounded by restrictions—clearly another blessed land.

After breaking through the restrictions, Yun Xiao stepped inside.

"What is this!?"

The moment she entered, Yun Xiao's eyes flew wide!

A Divine Maiden was bathing in the lake. Water slid over her snow-white skin, glistening like translucent pearls, tempting one to take a bite.

"Can't look, can't look!"

Yun Xiao muttered to herself even as she calmly walked toward the lakeshore.

She was a woman too. She also wanted to bathe.

"Who are you!?"

"How did you break my restrictions!"

Sure enough, Yun Xiao's arrival startled the Divine Maiden bathing in the lake. She flinched at first, but seeing that the intruder was also a woman, she calmed down.

On one hand, she sensed that Yun Xiao was only at the early Golden Immortal stage and no match for her.

On the other hand, Yun Xiao was a woman whose beauty rivaled her own—and even a woman enjoys looking at a beauty!

Still, the Magical Power surging around her showed she hadn't let down her guard.

"I am Yun Xiao, traveling through this area. Seeing that this lake was clear and spiritually rich, I wished to wash off the dust here."

"As for the restrictions, I did not know they were set by you, Divine Maiden. I thought this was a naturally ownerless blessed land, so I broke through and entered."

"I did not mean to disturb you, Immortal. I beg your pardon."

Yun Xiao was courteous and answered without a single flaw. Then, a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Root appeared in her hand, offered as an apology.

"No need."

Seeing Yun Xiao's sincere attitude and sensing no danger, the Divine Maiden in the lake dropped her guard. She smiled and beckoned: "Since you happened to come in by chance, it must be fate. Why not bathe together?"

"Then I'll gladly accept!"

Yun Xiao's hands trembled slightly as she undressed, then stepped into the lake and sat down by the shore.

"Why sit so far away? I'm not a man-eating tiger."

Seeing Yun Xiao so cautious, the Divine Maiden chuckled: "Come over here. Let's talk."

"Then I'll gladly accept!"

Yun Xiao took a deep breath and slowly walked toward the center of the lake.

After bathing together. (I know you don't like the middle part, so I'll skip it for you.)

"You mean to go to Buzhou Mountain?"

In the midst of their conversation, seeing the certainty in Yun Xiao's expression, the Divine Maiden couldn't help covering her mouth.

Then her expression turned serious. "A thousand years ago, I also went to Buzhou Mountain. Though I never reached the summit, I sensed an extremely dangerous presence."

"It felt like... something terrifying was being nurtured there."

In the Divine Maiden's memory, Buzhou Mountain was an extremely perilous place. Moreover, the fiery Qilin dwelled there—hardly a good destination for travel.

Even at her current cultivation level, she was reluctant to set foot there.

"Risk often accompanies opportunity. Besides, our path of cultivation has always been about seizing the blessings of heaven and earth. Even if one cultivates in seclusion, isn't there still the risk of qi deviation?" Yun Xiao said softly.

Hearing Yun Xiao's words, the Divine Maiden was first stunned, then slowly sank into thought.

After a long while, she suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Yun Xiao, and with a thought, sent a leaf shimmering with silver light flying into Yun Xiao's palm.
