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

"Xiao Bai, let's go!"

Yun Xiao was in high spirits as she pointed forward. The white tiger spread its wings, scattering a shower of sacred white light.

"I am the chieftain of the White Tiger Clan. I hope my clan won't be too sad after I leave."

Xiao Bai cast a wistful glance back toward the direction of the clan's habitat, then spread its wings and soared into the sky, vanishing in an instant.

Meanwhile, at White Tiger Mountain.

"Let's see... it's been about a shi chen since the chieftain left."

A white tiger spoke in human tongue, then yawned out of sheer boredom. "She's been gone this long and still hasn't come back. Let's elect a new chieftain."

"Agreed."

"I second that."

"Wait for me outside."

By now, Yun Xiao and Xiao Bai had arrived above a dense forest. She raised her hand and struck out with a stream of Magical Power, and a massive golden runic formation was shaken directly out of the void.

"An... an Innate Restriction?"

Seeing this, Xiao Bai's eyes went wide.

Just what kind of background did her master have? Not only was her combat power heaven-defying, but even her methods were this astonishing—she could actually sense the presence of an Innate Restriction!

"Weng—"

The Enlightenment Mirror and the Fragment of the Jade of Creation hovered above Yun Xiao's head as her hands traced continuously through the air. Torrents of vast Magical Power poured into the restriction, and within a few breaths, she had successfully broken it.

Then, she stepped inside.

Xiao Bai, on full alert, stood guard at the entrance.

"Whoosh!"

The moment she entered, dense Innate Spiritual Energy rushed at her face, while profound Dao Sounds echoed and reverberated within the restriction.

"What is this place?"

Yun Xiao looked up and saw multicolored light flowing through the air above the restriction, coalescing into a mass of auspicious vapor that floated there, showing signs of growing ever more solid.

Dao Sounds arising on their own, auspicious signs appearing out of nowhere.

Whatever was inside this restriction was definitely no ordinary thing!

Yun Xiao followed the direction of the auspicious light. Before long, she reached the deepest part of the restriction.

There, a Bodhi tree and a Bitter Bamboo stood nestled together, constantly absorbing spiritual energy and radiating a hazy, misty Dao light.

A Geng Metal Bodhi Tree and a Bitter Bamboo?

Yun Xiao was momentarily stunned, then a strange expression crept onto her face.

If her memory served her right, the two future Saints of the Western Teachings were the incarnations of these very two spiritual roots!

It seemed she had stumbled, quite by accident, into a very interesting place!

With that thought, a smirk tugged at the corner of Yun Xiao's lips as she slowly walked toward the Bodhi tree and the Bitter Bamboo.

Seeing this, the Bodhi tree and the Bitter Bamboo suddenly shrank back, as if crying out: Don't come any closer!

They had not yet taken human form and couldn't even speak, so they could only express their panic and tension through their movements.

But Yun Xiao was utterly unmoved. She first approached the Bodhi tree, activated the Law of Strength, and directly snapped off a branch!

The Bodhi tree shuddered violently and pressed itself even tighter against the Bitter Bamboo!

But the nightmare had only just begun.

With a wave of her hand, Yun Xiao plucked a handful of leaves, then gave a sharp tug, pulling a strand of the tree's very essence straight out!

"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"

The Bodhi tree shook violently, and a stream of clear liquid trickled down its trunk.

"Crying?"

Yun Xiao blinked in mild surprise, but she let the Bodhi tree go and turned toward the Bitter Bamboo.

It wasn't that her heart had softened—it was simply that these two supreme spiritual roots were rooted in the same ground, their auras interconnected, making them impossible to uproot.

Then, Yun Xiao stripped a few leaves from the Bitter Bamboo, extracted a sliver of its essence, and walked out of the restriction with a full harvest.

Watching her retreating figure, the Bodhi tree and the Bitter Bamboo clung tightly to each other, casting a long, dark shadow under the Dao light...

"Let's go. To the West Sea."

Leaving the restriction, Yun Xiao mounted Xiao Bai, and they transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, flying toward the West Sea.

Several months later, the two arrived at the depths of the West Sea.

"Boom!"

Gazing at the calm sea surface, Yun Xiao pointed a finger. In an instant, waves surged a thousand feet high, the waters churned violently, and then, an Innate Restriction rose up from the sea!

"Another Innate Restriction found?"

Xiao Bai's face was full of disbelief. How long had it been since her master had sensed another Innate Restriction?!

And this one was even larger than the last, covering millions of miles of sea in every direction!

"Hum—"

Yun Xiao raised her hand slightly, and countless streams of Magical Power poured into it. Before long, the restriction was broken, forming a vortex entrance.

The system had already transmitted the method to break it when it rewarded Fangzhang Island earlier.

"Keep guarding here."

Leaving behind those words, Yun Xiao vanished into the vortex.

"Clang!"

The moment she stepped into the restriction, countless streams of Chaos Qi slashed toward her, but they were all neutralized by the Green Light of her mystic art.

Like Yingzhou Island, the Chaos Qi within Fangzhang Island had not fully transformed into Innate Spiritual Energy. As far as the eye could see, there was only a stretch of grayish white, not a single spiritual root in sight.

Yun Xiao did not linger. Braving the Chaos Qi, she flew deeper into Fangzhang Island.

Though Fangzhang Island covered millions of miles of sea, it was still several times smaller than Yingzhou Island. Before long, Yun Xiao reached the core region.

"What is this?"

When she arrived, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Ahead, a Purple Small Ruler hovered in midair, radiating an extreme aura of slaughter that twisted the surrounding void into ribbons of color!

The ruler was three inches long, wreathed in faint purple light. It seemed plain and blunt, yet it gave the illusion that it could cut through anything!

Especially when a trace of its killing intent leaked out, it directly shattered the surrounding Chaos Qi, making Yun Xiao's skin prickle even from afar!

"This ruler... could it be?"

Looking at the three-inch ruler, Yun Xiao's heart stirred, and a resounding name instantly appeared in her mind.

The Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler!

"If it really is that ruler, then today is a huge win!"

Her gaze grew brighter as she stared at the distant ruler.

The Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler had an immense origin!

Though its quality was that of a Postnatal Supreme Treasure, it contained a sliver of the Great Dao Merit from the creation of the world!

What was the Great Dao Merit of creation?

Back then, Great God Pangu split heaven and earth. Feeling that the rules of the Primordial Wilderness were incomplete, he transformed his body into the Primordial Wilderness to complete them.

And the Great Dao, moved by Pangu's actions, descended boundless Great Dao Merit, also known as the Great Dao Merit of creation!

Of this infinite Great Dao Merit of creation, two portions condensed into the only two Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasures in the Primordial Wilderness.

One was the Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, the Accompanying Spiritual Treasure of Taiqing Laozi, said to render its wielder invincible as long as they stood beneath it!

The other was the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler, famed for unmatched slaughter, capable of cutting through nothingness and even injuring a Saint!

But the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler's use was not limited to slaughter. It had another ability that made everyone covet it.

That was—killing without incurring Karma!

Any living being slain by the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler would have its Karma and karmic sin consumed by the ruler's Great Dao Merit of creation. Even during a tribulation, one need not fear accumulating Karma or resentment!

This was a function that would make even a Saint green with envy!

After all, Karma was too mysterious a thing; even Saints dared not touch it lightly.

Otherwise, during the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, any Saint could have filled the Investiture of the Gods List in an instant by acting directly. Why would they hide behind the scenes and manipulate everything?

This showed just how deeply the beings of the Primordial Wilderness revered Karma.
