This final finishing blow was the epitome of speed, precision, and ruthlessness. The Yin Yang Qilin didn't even have time to let out a scream before being sent off by a single brick.
"Buzz—"
After slaying the Qilin, the Primordial Brick erupted with a brilliant light, directly ascending to the Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level!
"What a treasure. Killing a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal made it rise to mid-grade. If one day I could kill a Saint with it..."
Yun Xiao tucked the Primordial Brick away with anticipation, then began rummaging through the Yin Yang Qilin's corpse.
"Blood Origin Spear, one Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Root, seven Acquired High-grade Spiritual Roots, the high-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure Star Chessboard..."
Yun Xiao listlessly collected the treasures one by one.
Given her current wealth, these things were barely better than nothing.
With a flicker, she vanished from the spot.
A pure-blooded Yin Yang Qilin held no low status in the Qilin Clan. Killing one was like poking a hornet's nest—she couldn't stay at Buzhou Mountain any longer.
Thinking this, Yun Xiao cast Soaring Cloud Light, empowered by the Law of Strength, and shot toward the mountain's base in an instant.
The Law of Strength enhanced anything that could be called force—divine power, law power, magical power, and physical strength alike.
Even at just three percent, it more than doubled the speed of Soaring Cloud Light!
As she neared the mountain's base, Pangu's Pressure weakened, and Yun Xiao's speed increased. Within a few days, she reached the foot of the mountain, then shot billions of li in an instant, heading straight for the Western Sea of the Primordial Wilderness!
"Crack!"
After Yun Xiao left, a small stone at the site of her battle with the Yin Yang Qilin—on the mountainside of Buzhou—suddenly split.
It was clear that their fight had already faintly shaken Buzhou Mountain.
And this might have provided the karmic condition for some Wu to one day smash Buzhou Mountain apart.
Meanwhile, at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, inside a cave.
"Boom!"
A clump of black-and-white fire suddenly extinguished. Seeing this, a Qilin guarding nearby was horrified and rushed out.
Before long, countless massive figures soared out from Qilin Mountain, their killing intent shaking the void itself.
Two Realms Mountain.
A white cloud drifted lightly down here, transforming into Yun Xiao.
"It seems there's no Five Villages Temple here yet."
She looked over the empty Two Realms Mountain. Just as she was about to leave, a flash of red in the distance caught her attention.
"What's this?"
Yun Xiao teleported there in an instant and found a small fruit tree rooted in the center of Two Realms Mountain, bearing several fruits shaped like infants.
Above the tree, a cluster of red clouds floated in the void, glowing with a red light visible from near and far.
"Ginseng Fruit Tree... Hongyun..."
Yun Xiao felt a stir of desire.
After all, the Ginseng Fruit Tree was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root! It hadn't yet transformed—this was the perfect time to pick its fruit!
But when she saw the countless corpses around the tree, some still faintly radiating the aura of Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, Yun Xiao forcibly suppressed her impulse.
She suddenly remembered that Zhenyuanzi had his accompanying spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, which could harness the power of the Primordial Spiritual Vein, forming its own domain that twisted time and space. It wouldn't be easy to touch.
With that thought, Yun Xiao sighed helplessly and turned away without hesitation.
"Rustle, rustle."
After Yun Xiao left, the calm Ginseng Fruit Tree swayed slightly.
As if a voice were saying: Did you think I could have transformed so smoothly without the protection of Innate Restrictions?
A few days later, Yun Xiao finally flew past Two Realms Mountain. Instantly, a dense wave of spiritual energy washed over her, refreshing her mind and body.
She had now reached the Western Land. The spiritual energy here was rich, the forests lush and dense, and under Barrier Penetrating Insight, she even spotted several restrictions!
In truth, the West at this time was no less prosperous than the East.
That made perfect sense.
This was the dawn of creation. The Dragon-Han Tribulation hadn't even begun, let alone the Dao-Demon Conflict. Luohu, that handsome fellow, hadn't self-destructed and detonated the Western Spiritual Vein yet, so the West was still on par with the East.
"A Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure? Not bad."
By now, Yun Xiao had cleared the first restriction and was rushing to the next without pause.
"An Innate Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure, the Imitation Immortal Brush? What a treasure!"
"A Water Repelling Pearl? Why is it on land?"
"..."
Along the way, Yun Xiao had also reaped a bountiful harvest, while inwardly sighing with relief that she had arrived here ahead of Luohu's self-destruction—otherwise, where would so many treasures have come from?
Just like that, after traveling millions of miles, a powerful tugging sensation suddenly emerged!
This was Barrier Penetrating Insight detecting a large-scale Innate Restriction!
Just as Yun Xiao was about to head over, she suddenly furrowed her nose and brow slightly.
"What is that smell?"
She couldn't help but sniff, then abruptly turned to look to the side!
There, a Geng Metal White Tiger with wings on its back was lifting one leg, letting out a rushing stream against a large tree!
"Do you realize you've trespassed into my territory?"
The Geng Metal White Tiger shook itself a few times, then coldly gazed at Yun Xiao.
"Your... territory?"
Yun Xiao looked at the small stream beneath the tree and finally understood where the smell came from.
Good heavens—so this method of marking territory had been passed down since ancient times!
"Just passing through, my apologies for the intrusion. I'll be on my way."
Unwilling to linger here any longer, Yun Xiao only wanted to hurry to that large Innate Restriction to seek her fortune.
With that, she turned and flew off to the side.
"Did I say you could leave?"
With a ripple in the void, the Geng Metal White Tiger directly blocked Yun Xiao's path.
Beneath the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, there were also many extremely dominant races—though inferior to those three, their bloodline inheritances were still very powerful.
Take the White Tiger Clan, for instance; in this western corner, they were quite overbearing, with no one daring to provoke them lightly.
Especially this White Tiger blocking Yun Xiao's way—he was the clan leader of the White Tiger Clan, the very first White Tiger in heaven and earth!
At this moment, eyeing Yun Xiao's flowing white robes and delicate skin, he had unknowingly begun to feel hungry!
"You mean you won't let me leave?"
Sensing the White Tiger's aura at the Peak Golden Immortal level, Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes, and a faint green light began to shimmer around her.
"That's right—with a master of such esteemed status, how could you possibly walk on your own?"
"Of course you need a mount!"
At this moment, the Geng Metal White Tiger, with both eyes black and swollen, and the feathers on his back wings nearly plucked clean, was carrying Yun Xiao as he flew toward the direction of the Innate Restriction.
"So that's why you wouldn't let me leave—you were being thoughtful."
Yun Xiao smiled faintly, tucking away a trace of the White Tiger's Primordial Spirit imprint in her hand.
As long as she held that Primordial Spirit imprint, the fate of this Geng Metal White Tiger was completely in her grasp; with a single thought, she could decide his life or death.
With that in mind, Yun Xiao patted the White Tiger's head: "Since you're so considerate, I'll grant your wish. Today, I take you as my mount, and I'll let you roam the Primordial Wilderness with me."
"Thank... you, Master!"
The Geng Metal White Tiger wanted to cry but had no tears, bitterly regretting not checking the almanac before leaving home!
"Seeing how valiant and spirited you are, with an air of dominance, I shall name you... Xiao Bai!"
Yun Xiao pondered for a long while, then spoke with a serious expression.
So you thought it over for ages, and all you came up with was Xiao Bai!?
What does that have to do with being valiant and spirited, or having an air of dominance!
The Geng Metal White Tiger grumbled inwardly, but dared not say a word, only mumbling a low, grudging assent.
