See the Great Way by Breaking Through Life and Death; Create the Future with the Nine-Turn Divine Art (Continued)

Another Innate Spiritual Treasure—and a mid-grade one at that!

The Geng Metal Ancestor was practically bursting with joy.

After bringing out the Mysterious Yellow Star Handkerchief, Yun Xiao moved her mind again, and a hammer wreathed in azure light appeared in midair.

"This is the Primordial Heavy Water Hammer, a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."

As she finished speaking, another flash of treasure-light passed, and the Twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls flew out.

"Each Sea Calming Divine Pearl contains the power of an entire sea."

"The Three Lights Divine Water can corrode all things, but it can also nourish them."

"The Enlightenment Mirror is a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure that enhances one's comprehension of the laws of Heaven and Earth."

"The Spirit Coffin Lamp is a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure that can unleash the flames of the netherworld."

"The Pure World White Lotus is a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. You've just seen what it can do."

"..."

At that moment, the Geng Metal Ancestor stared at the treasures, eyes wide.

As Yun Xiao brought out one Spiritual Treasure after another, his state of mind gradually changed.

From joy, to shock, to alarm, and finally to fear.

That was right. Even before Yun Xiao made a move, the Geng Metal Ancestor was already thinking of fleeing!

This woman's origins were definitely no ordinary matter. She might well have been transformed from some extremely powerful innate lifeform!

Otherwise, she couldn't possibly have had so many fortuitous encounters—or even a Peak Golden Immortal Geng Metal White Tiger at her side!

Only then did the Geng Metal Ancestor suddenly come to his senses!

He'd been blinded by the Geng Metal White Tiger's Origin!

If this woman were merely an ordinary early-stage Golden Immortal, why would a Peak Golden Immortal Tiger Ancestor willingly become her mount?

"Oh, right. I almost forgot one more thing."

While the Geng Metal Ancestor was still stunned, Yun Xiao smiled faintly. The next moment, a three-inch Purple Small Ruler appeared in midair. Instantly, the space throughout the entire area froze, and the dense killing intent made the Geng Metal Ancestor shudder.

"This treasure is called the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler. It is a... Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure."

"Most importantly, it kills without incurring Karma. In other words, if it cuts you down, you're dead for good."

Yun Xiao lined up the Spiritual Treasures and smiled. "With so many treasures before you, which one would you like to try?"

Run! Run! Run!

The moment he saw the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler, the Geng Metal Ancestor was so terrified his soul nearly flew out of his body. He didn't dare reply. Instead, he burned his blood essence and fled for his life.

He had arrived at his leisure, but left in a hurry.

"Go."

Yun Xiao pointed ahead and poured all her magic power into the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler. In an instant, violet light blazed across the sky. The small ruler became a streak of divine light and shot through the air, striking the Geng Metal Ancestor directly!

"Pfft!"

The killing aura invaded his body, instantly extinguishing every last trace of life within him!

A mighty Geng Metal Ancestor, a powerhouse who might one day have attained the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Dao, died in obscurity in a forgotten corner.

He didn't even get the chance to use his innate Geng Metal Law, famed for its unrivaled offensive power.

The Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler was truly terrifying!

"Whoosh!"

Yun Xiao reached for the Geng Metal Ancestor's corpse. A wisp of Geng Metal Origin was drawn out, then tucked into her sleeve.

"Master..."

Xiao Bai came trotting over, its eyes shining with longing.

This Innate Geng Metal Origin would be tremendously beneficial to him.

"Let's go."

Yun Xiao pretended not to notice, climbed onto Xiao Bai's back, and closed her eyes to recover her magic power.

Though the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler was unmatched in its killing power, the magic power it consumed was just as terrifying.

"All right..."

Seeing that Yun Xiao had no intention of rewarding him with the Innate Geng Metal Origin, Xiao Bai didn't ask further. He flew swiftly toward the North Sea of the Primordial Wilderness.

He trusted that Yun Xiao had her reasons.

Indeed, Yun Xiao wasn't being stingy. If Xiao Bai devoured the Geng Metal Ancestor's Origin, it might temporarily boost his strength, but it would also muddy his bloodline and hinder him from attaining the Dao in the future.

As the first White Tiger between Heaven and Earth, Xiao Bai's origins were no lesser than the Geng Metal Ancestor's.

If he was going to refine an Origin, it should come from a lifeform with a greater innate foundation than his own.

Just as she had refined Pangu Jade Marrow...

Time passed without measure in the Primordial Wilderness.

After an unknown length of flight, Yun Xiao finally reached the vicinity of the North Sea.

On its shore stood a magnificent sacred mountain. Auspicious clouds drifted around its slopes, cranes circled its peaks, and dense forests of pines and willows blanketed its ridges.

Streams and lakes wound through the mountains, and spiritual flowers bloomed everywhere. Countless spirit beasts frolicked among them, making for a scene of perfect serenity.

At the highest peak stood a magnificent waterfall, plunging from a million zhang above like a silver river pouring down from the Ninth Heaven. Sunlight glimmered across its drifting spiritual mist.

"As expected of Kunlun Mountain. It may not be as magnificent as Buzhou Mountain, but it certainly has the atmosphere down."

Following the location of the Fragment of the Jade of Creation in her mind, Yun Xiao landed at the very summit of Kunlun Mountain.

Looking at the million-zhang waterfall below, she raised her hand, which glimmered with a hazy green light, and slashed downward!

"Crash!"

Under the Law of Strength, the waterfall split apart, forming a magnificent curtain of water.

Behind it lay a cavern. Inside was a stone platform, and upon it rested a Fragment of the Jade of Creation!

This was the Fragment of the Jade of Creation the system had rewarded her with.

It had been hidden behind Kunlun Mountain's divine waterfall. Though unprotected by any Innate Restriction, it could conceal its treasure-light and seal away its presence.

"Whoosh!"

Yun Xiao drew the Fragment of the Jade of Creation to her and immediately immersed her divine sense in it.

Compared to the main fragment, this one was pitifully small. Even so, it contained records of two exceptionally useful Great Dao Laws: the Great Dao of Pills and the Great Dao of Artifacts.

The Great Dao of Pills allowed one to borrow the laws of Heaven and Earth to extract the energy from spiritual fruits and refine it into spiritual pills.

These pills not only enhanced the fruits' effects, but were also easy to refine, so one wouldn't burst from an excess of energy.

The Great Dao of Artifacts not only taught one miraculous methods of crafting treasures, but also made one more attuned to magical artifacts and weapons, allowing them to unleash power beyond what their unlocked Innate Restrictions should permit.

For example, Yun Xiao had unlocked six Innate Restrictions on the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler, allowing her to wield one ten-thousandth of its power. With the Great Dao of Artifacts, she could wield one five-thousandth.

If she fully refined the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler, then with the Great Dao of Artifacts, she could unleash more than one hundred percent of its power!

These were two exceedingly practical auxiliary Great Dao Laws, and they would greatly benefit her cultivation in the future.

With that in mind, Yun Xiao brought out the Jade Disc and the Enlightenment Mirror and began comprehending the two Great Dao Laws.

After a hundred years, she had comprehended ten percent of the Great Dao of Pills.

After another hundred years, she had comprehended ten percent of the Great Dao of Artifacts.

One day, Yun Xiao slowly opened her eyes. Two Great Dao Rivers surged through her pupils, but in the next instant, a green Great Dao River appeared and swallowed them both!

"Just as I thought!"

Yun Xiao was amazed. Her guess had been right: the Law of Strength was created by Great God Pangu through the fusion of all the Great Dao Laws. It was the guiding principle of all three thousand Great Daos!

Otherwise, how could it swallow the other Great Dao Rivers?

At that moment, Yun Xiao also understood why she'd found it relatively easy to comprehend the Great Dao of Pills and the Great Dao of Artifacts.

For one thing, though the two Great Daos were miraculous, they were much simpler than the Law of Strength, so they were easier to comprehend.

For another, comprehending the Law of Strength had subtly improved her understanding of the other Great Dao Laws.

In other words, once you learned the general principles, the finer details became much easier to master.

"It's time to meet the legendary Three Pure Ones."

Yun Xiao stood and activated Barrier Penetrating Insight. The next moment, she sensed an Innate Restriction deep within Kunlun Mountain.

She instantly arrived above a certain mountain peak, then tapped the air. A formation of immortal light appeared in midair.

After spending several years breaking the restriction, Yun Xiao stepped inside.

"Buzz—"
