At the dawn of creation, there stood a towering mountain in the Primordial Wilderness that connected Heaven and Earth. This mountain was called Mount Buzhou, transformed from the unyielding spine of Pangu. Mount Buzhou was majestic and boundless, beyond the power of any words to describe!
That day, two travelers arrived at the foot of the mountain. They were naturally Mu Jizi and Kunpeng, traveling through the Primordial Wilderness!
As the two stood at the mountain's foot and gazed at Mount Buzhou, which radiated a faint pressure, they could not help but be filled with emotion!
"Pangu was truly mighty! More than five thousand years have passed since he opened the heavens, yet the mountain's lingering might remains. None below a Quasi-Sage can reach its summit! Such cultivation is truly beyond our reach, like dust chasing a horse!" Mu Jizi raised his head to look at the towering Mount Buzhou piercing the clouds, and deep emotion rose in his heart!
Kunpeng said nothing upon hearing this, merely nodding silently. Who knew whether he had been shaken by the pressure left upon Mount Buzhou, or whether he had gained insight amid such an artistic conception!
At Mount Buzhou's summit, white clouds spread everywhere, concealing the peak like an immortal realm. At the mountain's foot, birds and insects occasionally chirped in delight. Just then, a sudden explosion thundered through the sky, and a green light shot out from the heavens above the summit!
The green light was as swift as lightning. In less than one-thousandth of an instant, it abruptly merged into Mu Jizi's body as he stood there with a face full of emotion!
Neither Kunpeng nor Mu Jizi had expected this instantaneous change!
"Big Brother, Big Brother, what's happening?" Kunpeng felt the pressure radiating from the green light around Mu Jizi. It was as though an ant stood before an elephant, utterly unable to resist!
At that moment, Mu Jizi's eyes were slightly closed, his entire body shrouded in green light. He seemed to be asleep, yet also seemed to be comprehending something. He stood in the void, his whole being resembling a deity. How could he possibly hear Kunpeng's calls? Then, suddenly—
The green light scattered, and Mu Jizi instantly awoke. At that moment, his eyes were clearer than ever before. Looking at the anxious Kunpeng, he smiled faintly. "Worthy younger brother, do not panic. Your elder brother is fine!"
"Big Brother, what was that green light just now?" Seeing Mu Jizi awaken, Kunpeng could not help but let out a breath of relief!
"At the beginning of Heaven and Earth, Pangu transformed his body into Heaven and Earth. What he burned was his cultivation and magical power, and what he practiced was the Creation Dao!" Mu Jizi remained unhurried. After pondering for a moment, he slowly explained, "Pangu possessed immense magical power and evolved the Primordial Wilderness. Though remnants of his own magical power remained, they were insufficient to preserve his life. Yet in the end, they condensed into many forces, such as Origin, Creation, and Reincarnation. That cluster of green light just now was formed from the Creation Force Pangu comprehended! With this trace of Creation Force, your elder brother's Dao has become clear!"
"No wonder that cluster of green light made my heart tremble. So it was the crystallization of Pangu's magical power!" Kunpeng suddenly understood, then congratulated him. "Congratulations, Big Brother! Your Grand Dao is about to be completed!"
"Heh heh!" Mu Jizi smiled. The joy in his heart was something ordinary people could never comprehend. Now that he had understood where his own cultivation lay, becoming a Sage was inevitable—it was merely a matter of time!
Just then, several rays of rosy light drifted through the void. When they saw Mu Jizi and Kunpeng standing at the foot of Mount Buzhou, those rays suddenly stopped. The leader wore a purple-gold crown set with jewels atop his bound hair, a golden forehead band embroidered with two dragons fighting over a pearl across his brows, and a crimson archer's robe with golden butterflies dancing amid flowers. A multicolored silk sash with flower knots and long tassels bound his waist. His complexion was like flowers in early spring, his sideburns as sharply cut as blades, his brows as though painted in ink, his face like peach petals, and his eyes like autumn waves. He wore a yellow robe and a felt headscarf, possessing a dashing and elegant air!
After the group came to a halt, one of the attendants suddenly pointed at Mu Jizi and Kunpeng and shouted, "You two, do you know why Mount Buzhou just erupted with that thunderous sound?"
Mu Jizi ignored him upon hearing this. Instead, Kunpeng narrowed his small eyes, cast a sidelong glance, and opened his eyes wide. Two brilliant beams shot forth like dazzling starlight and falling meteors!
"Wah!"
The attendant's entire body shook. Then, with a "wah," he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned deathly pale in an instant, and traces of terror appeared in the way he looked at Kunpeng!
"This..." The others standing nearby immediately panicked. A single glance had severely injured a clansman with Heavenly Immortal cultivation—just how immense was this man's magical power?
"Scram!" The single word seemed to come from the edge of the heavens, yet also drifted from some ethereal place. The group involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged looks, and fled upon clouds!
Such a minor interlude naturally could not disrupt Mu Jizi and Kunpeng's mood as they traveled through Mount Buzhou!
A gentle breeze blew. To the north, in a gorge tens of millions of li away from Mount Buzhou, several rays of rosy light descended from the sky. These were the very people Kunpeng had driven away from the foot of Mount Buzhou!
At this moment, the leader, who was addressed as the Crown Prince, muttered a few low words toward the gorge. Immediately afterward, with a "boom," a broad road leading into the depths of the gorge appeared out of thin air!
This gorge was the sacred land of the Qilin Tribe, sovereigns among the beasts. Besides the Qilin Tribe, other living beings of great magical power among the beasts also dwelled in its depths!
The group quickly entered the gorge. Before long, they arrived outside a magnificent palace. Guards stood watch before its gates. Qi Yu, the second prince of the Qilin Tribe, stepped forward and entered the palace. The attendants behind him were not qualified to enter and all remained outside the palace to wait!
The palace was resplendent and magnificent, grand and imposing. Auspicious beasts were carved as though taking flight with feathered ascension, while halos of light flowed through the halls. Within the main hall stood a throne, upon which sat a robust, middle-aged man in a yellow robe. His yellow robe was embroidered with the scene of all creation bowing in worship, golden light drifting from his sleeves. An imposing aura pressed outward from him. His face was ruddy as a red date, and an aura of authority without anger naturally arose around him!
This man possessed a majestic bearing, with auspicious energy between his brows. He was Qi Xiang, ancestor of the Qilin and current chief of the beast clans!
"Your son greets Father. May Father enjoy boundless blessings!" After entering the hall, Qi Yu stepped forward and bowed!
"What business does my son have with me?" Qi Xiang's eyes were bright, and a low yet authoritative voice issued from his mouth!
"Today, while your son was traveling through Mount Buzhou with several clansmen, I encountered..." Qi Yu concealed nothing and recounted every detail of his encounter with Mu Jizi and Kunpeng! "Your son has often heard Father say that the Primordial Wilderness is filled with countless capable individuals and extraordinary figures. If we could befriend one or two of them and have them serve our clan, then the bird and scaled clans would be nothing to fear. The moment your son encountered such great cultivators with divine abilities, I did not make enemies of them, but hurried back at once to inform Father!"
"Mm!" Qi Xiang pondered for a moment, then looked at Qi Yu. "You did very well. A single glance severely injured a clansman with Heavenly Immortal cultivation. A cultivator with such divine abilities has at the very least attained the Dao Fruit of a Golden Immortal. Our clan must do everything in our power to win over such people!"
"Yes, your son naturally understands!" Qi Yu said respectfully.
"In that case, I will arrange for the Great Elder to accompany you. You must win those two over. Even if you cannot recruit them, do not make enemies of them!" Qi Xiang said solemnly.
"Your son understands!" Qi Yu replied. "With the Great Elder and your son together, we will surely succeed the moment our horses arrive!"
"Mm!" Qi Xiang looked down at Qi Yu and said indifferently, "You may withdraw. Take my verbal decree to the Great Elder. He will naturally accompany you!"
"Yes, Father!" Qi Yu clasped his hands. "Your son takes his leave!"
