Can Ancestor Wizards Have Fellow Daoists? The Pure World White Lotus Dispels Sha Qi

The vast majority of Innate Gods usually cultivate in Grotto-heavens and Blessed Lands, occasionally venturing out to visit fellow daoists or enjoy the mountain and river scenery.

They do not interfere with the grand trends of the Primordial Wilderness, nor do they have direct conflicts with the Wu Clan, so there is no need to fight to the death.

Moreover, these individuals generally possess a certain capacity for self-preservation, and since they have few attachments, if they were truly offended to the point of mortal enmity, they could roam the Primordial Wilderness and specifically target scattered Wu Clan tribes, which would be quite troublesome.

Ju Mang took the initiative to invite him: "Bei Ming, would you like to come to my tribe for a sit-down?"

"After some food and drink, and a period of rest, we can have another exchange of ideas!"

Bei Ming clasped his fists in a salute: "I still have important matters to attend to, so I will pass this time. If fate allows, we shall meet again."

"Very well!" Ju Mang responded heartily, his eyes still burning with fighting spirit:

"Since that is the case, go ahead and attend to your business. I shall return to tend to my injuries and continue my arduous cultivation; when we meet next, I will win it back!"

"I wish you luck."

After saying this, Bei Ming executed the Free and Unfettered Journey, his figure transforming into a streak of Streaming Light that vanished into the clouds in an instant.

Ju Mang blinked, suddenly realizing that with Bei Ming's speed, if he had chosen to flee from the start, he would never have been able to catch him!

He subconsciously rubbed his chin: "With Bei Ming's speed, I fear only my eldest brother could catch him."

"To be able to leave yet still choose to clash head-on with me—truly, he is also a person who enjoys an exchange of ideas. Excellent, excellent! He is worthy of being a fellow daoist recognized by me, Ju Mang!"

The logic of friendship for an Ancestor Wizard is actually quite simple—as long as one can fight and is not an enemy, one can be a friend.

However, this "standard for friends" is by no means low when placed in the context of the Primordial Wilderness.

"Not an enemy" is easy enough to satisfy; aside from the future members of the Demon Race Heavenly Court, the vast majority of other Innate Gods have no direct mortal enmity with the Wu Clan.

But the condition of "being able to fight" is much harder to meet.

The combat power of the Ancestor Wizards is extremely formidable; even among the Innate Gods, there are not many experts who can confront them head-on and trade blows back and forth.

For a cultivator to challenge an Ancestor Wizard, they must at least have grasped a Law.

In terms of equipment, it is best to be equipped with a Top-grade Defensive Spirit Treasure, otherwise, they might not even be able to withstand a few moves.

Furthermore, they must possess a Top-grade Offensive Spirit Treasure, or they would be unable to break through the physical body defense of an Ancestor Wizard at all.

If one can only serve as a punching bag, it naturally cannot pique the interest of an Ancestor Wizard.

Friendship is, after all, a two-way street.

Bei Ming held no prejudice against the Wu Clan.

But the other Innate Gods might not feel the same;

After all, the Wu Clan does not cultivate the Primordial Spirit, so there are almost no common topics when discussing the Dao with them.

Coupled with the rough and unrefined conduct of the Wu Clan, they are often viewed by many cultivators as barbarians, with some even calling them "savages" to their faces.

Interwoven with various reasons, the Wu Clan remains in a state of relative isolation within the Primordial Wilderness.

However, with their strength, even if isolated, they can still "bloom beautifully on their own."

After the exchange of ideas ended, Ju Mang landed heavily back on the ground, the mountain rocks beneath his feet cracking into countless fissures under his immense strength.

The injuries caused by the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler had not yet fully healed.

His aura was slightly disordered, and his shoulder revealed solid muscle intertwined with bloodstains, making him appear somewhat disheveled.

Kua Fu had been waiting in the distance, and seeing Ju Mang's state, he stepped forward quickly, asking with concern:

"Lord Ju Mang, are you injured?"

Ju Mang waved his hand dismissively and said with great spirit:

"Just minor injuries! I happened upon a fellow daoist and we had an exchange of ideas—it was truly refreshing!"

"???"

Kua Fu's brows arched slightly, his face showing confusion and surprise.

Since when could an Ancestor Wizard make a fellow daoist?

Out of curiosity, and also to avoid unnecessary conflicts in the future, Kua Fu could not help but ask:

"Lord Ju Mang, may I ask which expert that fellow daoist of yours is?"

Ju Mang did not actually know much about Bei Ming:

"He is called Bei Ming, and he cultivates the Water Law and the Wind Law. His magic treasures include a defensive banner and an offensive ruler."

"Since he is my fellow daoist, he is an honored guest of my tribe; you must not be rude when you see him in the future."

Kua Fu clasped his fists and replied: "I shall strictly obey the Ancestor Wizard's command!"

Although Ju Mang had accepted Bei Ming, the other Ancestor Wizards had not; he alone could not represent the entire Wu Clan, so he could only offer him courtesy within his own tribe.

However, having finally made a fellow daoist, Ju Mang had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to show off to his brothers and sisters.

On the other side, after a long journey, Bei Ming finally returned to Changbai Mountain.

The Primordial Wilderness is not lacking in places of beautiful scenery, but as one of the four great main mountain ranges, Changbai Mountain possesses its own unique qualities.

The Ancient Furnace casts the Profound Bone, the sheer cliffs supporting the heavens divide the Yin Yang.

Above, the Ice Soul Cold Light pierces through; below, the forest waves roll in long, green billows.

When spring arrives, snowmelt dissolves the stars; when summer comes, the Mist and Rosy Clouds Illusory Rainbow Banner manifests.

In deep autumn, the moon sets, sinking like cold jade; as winter ends, the Wind Howling Broken Jade rings out.

Four Seasons Changes One Pool Contains, Eternal Manifestations Return to Truth Entering Great Void.

Bei Ming passed through two defensive formations; the formation patterns flickered beneath his feet, rippling gently before returning to stillness.

Stepping into the sky above the Heavenly Lake, Bei Ming looked down at the water's surface. A breeze brushed past, causing the waves to shimmer, reflecting the white clouds of the firmament and the shadows of the snowy peaks.

Bei Ming raised his hand and waved it, causing the Twelve Grade Pure World White Lotus to emerge.

The lotus platform was pristinely white, its petals blooming in layers, with wisps of Pure World Divine Light circulating within the lotus heart.

Under Bei Ming's urging, the Pure World Divine Light spread in all eight directions, transforming into a vast radiance that instantly enveloped the entire Changbai Mountain Range.

The Sha Qi that had been hidden in this place for countless Yuanhui fell silent at once, and even the spiritual energy became noticeably clearer.

With such power, Bei Ming felt even more confident in his plan to purge the Sha Qi from the Northern Continent.

Bei Ming placed the Twelve Grade Pure World White Lotus into the Heavenly Lake; the lotus platform merged with the lake water, sending out ripples of light.

Following this, he took all the Three Grade Pure World White Lotuses nurtured within the Three Lights Divine Water Pool in the Core Zone of Penglai Immortal Island and cast them into the Heavenly Lake.

The Dao Rhyme of the Pure World White Lotuses resonated with the essence of the Heavenly Lake, harmonizing like the strings of a zither.

The Heavenly Lake had originally possessed purifying abilities, but now, bolstered by the lotus platforms, its power surged dramatically.

Bei Ming moved, descending slowly from the air to land upon the Pure World White Lotus, his robes draping down as his aura settled into tranquility.

The Water Law also possessed a certain capacity to purify filth, and it allowed him to draw upon the waters of the Heavenly Lake.

At the same time, as the owner of the Pure World White Lotus, his activation was far more efficient than the Spirit Treasure operating on its own.

The auras of Bei Ming, the Pure World White Lotus, and the Heavenly Lake gradually merged, their radiance gathering together.

Guided by the Pure World Divine Light, the energy slowly seeped into the Ancestral Vein, driving out the attached Sha Qi.

The native creatures within the Changbai Mountain Range sensed this change in the depths of their being.

The spiritual birds in the mountain forests ceased their calls and bowed their heads upon the branches.

The spiritual beasts in the marshes raised their heads to gaze toward the direction of the Heavenly Lake, their eyes filled with awe.

Even the Spirit Roots and spiritual medicines buried deep within the earth swayed ever so slightly.

As long as the Sha Qi could be thoroughly purged from the spiritual veins, it would be a feat of re-creation for the Northern Continent and its countless living beings!

Though a reborn Northern Continent might struggle to compare with the most prosperous Eastern Continent, it was not without a chance to surpass the Southern Continent.

After all, since the Phoenix Race had gone into seclusion, the Southern Continent had remained stable and mediocre.

While the cultivators and creatures within its borders developed adequately, there were few top-notch Innate Gods capable of stirring the winds and clouds of the Primordial Wilderness.
