At this moment, Yun Xiao walked over and stroked Xiao Bai's head.
"I will definitely achieve the Dao in the future!" Xiao Bai carried Yun Xiao, transforming sorrow into motivation.
"I believe you," Yun Xiao nodded.
"Do you believe in me too, Master?" Xiao Bai asked, full of surprise.
"I believe that even if you were a block of wood, I could help you achieve the Dao."
Xiao Bai: ...
"Let's go, to Kunlun Mountain in the Northern Sea."
Yun Xiao pointed forward, and Xiao Bai spread its wings. After a reluctant glance back, it transformed into a beam of light and instantly disappeared into the entrance of the Restriction.
"Those who achieve great things can never be content to stay in one corner."
"Tiger Ancestor, we believe you will surely achieve the Dao in the future!"
After Xiao Bai left, the White Tigers who were still exploring Fangzhang Island all looked up, their expressions filled with sadness.
In the western lands, before a large Innate Restriction.
The person and the tiger seemed to be telepathically connected. On their way to the Northern Sea of the Primordial Era, they "happened" to arrive here again.
"Since we're here, let's go in and take a look. We're idle anyway,"
Yun Xiao murmured, then broke through the Restriction and walked in.
"Rustle!"
Upon seeing Yun Xiao again, the Bodhi Tree and Bitter Bamboo, after shaking violently, finally resigned themselves and offered their branches and leaves.
It was as if they were saying: Take it, take it all, just don't come back again!
"Absolutely not!"
Seeing the Bodhi Tree and Bitter Bamboo actively offering their branches and leaves, Yun Xiao politely refused while stripping them clean.
In a short while, the Bodhi Tree and Bitter Bamboo were almost half bald.
Yun Xiao finally stopped, nodding in satisfaction.
"Thank you both for your gifts. I will definitely remember to visit you again when I pass by next time."
Yun Xiao cupped his hands towards the Bodhi Tree and Bitter Bamboo, then turned to leave.
As a person, one must understand sustainable development.
"Rustle!"
After Yun Xiao left, the two spiritual roots hugged each other tightly. At this moment, even the resilient Bitter Bamboo burst into tears.
Again? Will this ever end!
This is the evil force of the Primordial Era!!!
Not to mention the psychological trauma of Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, several months later, Yun Xiao, who was on her way to the Northern Sea of the Primordial Era, suddenly felt a stir in her heart.
Under the Barrier Penetrating Insight, she sensed an Innate Restriction.
"Xiao Bai, go there."
Yun Xiao gave directions, and Xiao Bai traveled thousands of miles in an instant. Before long, they arrived in front of a spiritual mountain.
"Hmm? What a strange mountain."
Looking at the spiritual mountain before her, Yun Xiao exclaimed.
From a distance, the entire mountain's shape resembled a vulture perched there, poised to strike and kill enemies with a single blow from the shadows!
Coupled with the many caves in the mountainside, an eerie wind occasionally blew through, giving off a chilling and cold feeling.
Yun Xiao followed the sensation and landed before a cave. She then unleashed a stream of divine light, shaking the Innate Restriction out of the void.
Unlike the Innate Restrictions she had seen before, this one was dark green, with runes flashing with a netherworld glow, resembling a burial ground.
"What a peculiar Innate Restriction. Could there be something extremely fierce inside?"
Yun Xiao summoned the Fragment of the Jade of Creation and the Enlightenment Mirror to begin deciphering the Restriction.
At this point in time, even if there was something extremely fierce inside, it should not have taken form yet. Otherwise, this Innate Restriction would not have lasted this long.
Even if it had taken form and was cultivating inside, with her current strength, she would naturally not be afraid.
"Buzz--"
Several years later, Yun Xiao deciphered the Innate Restriction. After arranging for Xiao Bai to guard outside, she stepped inside.
"This is?"
Yun Xiao's eyes widened slightly as she saw the scene within the Restriction.
It was an extremely quiet cave, with countless netherworld fires floating in the air, dyeing the cave a chilling dark green, like a hundred ghosts walking in the night.
In the very front, a coffin lid was suspended, inscribed with ancient and profound runes, as if it were about to bury the entire world!
On the coffin lid rested a spirit lamp, its pale green flame flickering, yet no matter how violent the Chaos Qi Stream within the Restriction was, it couldn't extinguish it!
"A coffin lid, a spirit lamp, could it be...?"
Yun Xiao flashed before the coffin lid, gazing at the profound patterns on it, her mind already making deductions.
No wonder this spiritual mountain resembled a vulture so much.
If she wasn't mistaken, she was currently within the Restriction of the Yuan Jue Cave on Spirit Vulture Mountain, and this coffin lid naturally belonged to a "renowned" figure of the Primordial Era—Ran Deng!
And the spirit lamp on the coffin lid should be his accompanying Spiritual Treasure, the Spirit Coffin Lamp.
It is said that Ran Deng was formed from the very first coffin lid in the Primordial Era, and due to his accompanying Spiritual Treasure, the Spirit Coffin Lamp, he was named Ran Deng.
The reason Ran Deng's name was so renowned was not due to his strength, but rather his shamelessness.
With the phrase "This treasure has fate with me," he committed countless acts of snatching opportunities from others, yet Ran Deng himself was still self-satisfied.
It could be said that the most shameless person in the Primordial Era was none other than him!
"Fellow Daoist, since we meet here, it can be considered fate."
"Since it is fate, I shall gift you a treasure, which can be considered a good deed."
"However, since I am gifting you a treasure, Fellow Daoist, should you not also show some gesture?"
Yun Xiao smiled, chipped off a small fingernail's worth of innate mineral vein, and placed it on the coffin lid. Then, her gaze shifted to the Spirit Coffin Lamp.
"Clang!"
At this moment, the coffin lid suddenly shook violently, but Yun Xiao held it steady.
"It seems, Fellow Daoist, you agree."
She smiled faintly and immediately took away the Spirit Coffin Lamp.
When doing things, one must be true to their heart.
If others disagree, even if it's right in front of you, you don't take it!
As for how Yun Xiao understood whether Ran Deng agreed or not.
Don't ask.
Just assume it's telepathy.
"Clang!"
After Yun Xiao took the Spirit Coffin Lamp, the coffin lid suddenly jumped again, as if it were about to take form.
At this moment, a complex mix of emotions—anger, frustration, helplessness—flowed from the coffin lid.
"Do you wish to go out for a walk, Fellow Daoist, to get some air?"
Yun Xiao was slightly taken aback, then sighed again: "Unfortunately, I have a long journey ahead, and carrying a coffin lid around would be rather inconvenient."
Hearing her words, the coffin lid shook even more violently.
Who wants you to carry me? I want you to put down the Spirit Coffin Lamp!!!
What kind of person is this? Does she mean that if the conditions allowed, she'd even want to carry off the coffin lid itself?
Alas, Ran Deng, not yet having taken form, couldn't speak and could only express his frustration and anger by shaking the coffin lid.
"Fellow Daoist, I have matters to attend to and must leave for now. I will return to see you after I'm done."
Yun Xiao surveyed the surroundings, finding no other Spiritual Treasures. She then dug out another corner from the coffin lid with more force before turning and walking out of the Restriction.
Come back?
Hearing Yun Xiao's words, Ran Deng's mind was a whirlwind.
At this moment, he secretly vowed to cultivate diligently and strive to take form and emerge before Yun Xiao's next visit!
