Shocking Debut

From the deepest reaches of the Heavenly Origin Mother Sect came a faint aura of motherly majesty that ruled over all beneath heaven. To Ling Xiao, that aura was far too familiar—etched far too deeply into his memory.

It might not have been carved into his bones, but it was close enough.

At this moment, Yuan Mother was in secluded cultivation. Ling Xiao's gaze shifted, and from afar, he saw five faint Dao marks, like columns of wolf-smoke.

Yuan Mother had emerged from seclusion.

Ling Xiao concealed himself in the void without leaving a trace. He watched as Yuan Mother's Dharma body appeared between heaven and earth, like a goddess of creation.

At once, all living beings in the world worshipped and kowtowed to her, offering their finest blessings.

She was peerlessly graceful, yet sacred and inviolable, her eyes filled with majestic radiance. An ordinary man needed only one glance at her to feel utterly ashamed of his own inferiority.

She was an exceedingly formidable woman.
