A Sudden Enlightenment, the Dao Near Completion

At the dawn of creation, there stood a towering mountain upon the land of the Primordial Wilderness, linking Heaven and Earth. This mountain was called Mount Buzhou, transformed from the unyielding spine of Great God Pangu. Mount Buzhou was majestic and boundless; no words could describe its grandeur!

That day, two travelers arrived at the foot of the mountain. They were none other than Mu Jizi and Kunpeng, who were journeying through the Primordial Wilderness!

The two came beneath the mountain and gazed at Mount Buzhou, which radiated a faint pressure. They could not help but sigh with emotion!

"Great God Pangu was truly mighty! More than five thousand years have passed since he opened Heaven and Earth, yet this mountain's lingering might remains. None beneath a Quasi-Sage can reach its summit! Such cultivation is truly beyond our reach!" Mu Jizi looked up at Mount Buzhou, which pierced the clouds, and deep emotion rose in his heart!

Kunpeng said nothing at those words, merely nodding silently. It was impossible to tell whether he had been shaken by the lingering pressure atop Mount Buzhou or had found enlightenment within such an atmosphere!

At the summit of Mount Buzhou, white clouds drifted and concealed the peak, making it seem like an immortal realm. At the foot of the mountain, birds and insects occasionally sang with delight. Then, without warning, a thunderous explosion rang out in the sky, and a streak of green light shot from the heavens above the summit!

The green light was swift as lightning. In less than a thousandth of an instant, it abruptly merged into Mu Jizi's body as he stood there filled with emotion!

Neither Kunpeng nor Mu Jizi had expected this sudden change!

"Big Brother, Big Brother, what happened?" Feeling the pressure radiating from the green light around Mu Jizi, Kunpeng felt like an ant standing before an elephant, utterly unable to resist!

At that moment, Mu Jizi's eyes were gently closed, and his entire body was shrouded in green light. He seemed to be asleep, yet also seemed to be comprehending something. He stood suspended in the void, like a divine being. How could he possibly hear Kunpeng's calls? Then suddenly—

The green light scattered, and Mu Jizi instantly awakened. At that moment, his eyes were clearer than ever before. Looking at Kunpeng's anxious expression, he smiled faintly. "Worthy Brother, do not panic! I am fine!"

"Big Brother, what was that green light just now?" Seeing Mu Jizi awaken, Kunpeng finally let out a breath of relief!

"At the beginning of Heaven and Earth, Great God Pangu transformed himself into Heaven and Earth. What he burned was his cultivation and mana, and what he practiced was the Dao of Creation!" Mu Jizi was in no hurry. After pondering for a moment, he slowly explained, "Great God Pangu possessed immense mana and evolved the Primordial Wilderness. Though the remnants of his own mana were insufficient to preserve his life, they ultimately condensed into many forces, such as Origin, Creation, and Reincarnation. That green light just now was formed from the Creation Force comprehended by Great God Pangu! With this thread of Creation Force, my own Dao has become clear!"

"No wonder that green light made my heart tremble. So it was the crystallization of Great God Pangu's mana!" Kunpeng suddenly understood, then congratulated him. "Congratulations, Big Brother. Your Great Dao is about to be completed!"

"Hehe!" Mu Jizi smiled. The joy in his heart was beyond ordinary people's understanding. Having comprehended the path of his own cultivation, becoming a Saint was inevitable; it was merely a matter of time!

Just then, several streaks of rosy light drifted through the void. When they saw Mu Jizi and Kunpeng standing at the foot of Mount Buzhou, those streaks of light abruptly halted. The leader wore a purple-gold crown set with jewels, with a golden forehead band embroidered with two dragons fighting over a pearl wrapped around his brow. He wore a red archer's robe adorned with golden butterflies and flowers, tied with a multicolored silk sash bearing flower knots and long tassels. His complexion was like spring dawn blossoms, his temples cut as though by a blade, his brows painted in ink, his face like peach petals, and his eyes like autumn waters. Dressed in a yellow robe and wearing a felt headscarf, he possessed an elegant and dashing bearing!

After the group stopped, one attendant suddenly pointed at Mu Jizi and Kunpeng and shouted, "You two, do you know why Mount Buzhou erupted with that thunderous sound just now?"

Mu Jizi ignored him. Instead, Kunpeng narrowed his small eyes, cast him a sidelong glance, and widened his gaze. Two gleams of light, brilliant as starlight and shooting meteors, flashed forth!

"Argh!"

The attendant's entire body trembled. Then, with a cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood. In an instant, his face turned deathly pale, and traces of terror appeared in his eyes as he looked at Kunpeng!

"This..." The others standing nearby immediately panicked. One glance had severely injured a clansman with Heavenly Immortal cultivation—how immense must this person's mana be!

"Scram!" The single word seemed to come from the edge of Heaven, yet also drift from somewhere distant and ethereal. The group involuntarily breathed sighs of relief, exchanged looks, then fled upon clouds!

Such a minor interruption naturally could not disturb Mu Jizi and Kunpeng's mood as they toured Mount Buzhou!

A gentle breeze blew. To the north, within a gorge tens of millions of li from Mount Buzhou, several streaks of rosy light descended from the sky. These people were precisely the ones whom Kunpeng had driven away from the foot of Mount Buzhou!

At this moment, the one addressed as the Crown Prince spoke a few words in a low voice toward the gorge. Immediately afterward, with a boom, a broad road leading deep into the gorge appeared out of thin air!

This gorge was the sacred land of the Qilin Tribe, emperors among the beasts. Deep within the gorge, aside from the Qilin Tribe, there also lived other powerful living beings among the beasts!

The group hurried into the gorge. Before long, they arrived outside a splendid palace. Guards stood watch before its gates. Qi Yu, the Second Crown Prince of the Qilin Tribe, strode forward and entered the palace, while the attendants behind him were not qualified to enter and could only wait outside!

The palace was magnificent and grand, decorated with carvings of auspicious beasts ascending into immortality, while halos of light flowed throughout. At the head of the hall stood a throne, upon which sat a burly, middle-aged man clad in yellow robes. His yellow robes were embroidered with scenes of all creation paying homage, and golden light drifted from his sleeves. His face was the color of red dates, and an imposing aura arose from him even without anger!

This man possessed an immense bearing, with auspicious radiance between his brows. He was Qi Xiang, ancestor of the Qilin and current leader of the beast clans!

"Your son pays respects to Father. May Father enjoy boundless blessings!" Upon entering the great hall, Qi Yu stepped forward and bowed!

"What does my son seek from me?" Qi Xiang's eyes gleamed as a deep yet commanding voice emerged from his mouth!

"Today, while your son was touring Mount Buzhou with several clansmen, I encountered..." Without concealing anything, Qi Yu recounted every detail of the scene when they encountered Mu Jizi and Kunpeng. "Your son has often heard Father say that the Primordial Wilderness is filled with countless extraordinary people. If we could befriend one or two and have them serve our clan, then the avian and scaled clans would be nothing to fear. When your son encountered such great cultivators, I did not become hostile toward them. Instead, I hurried back to inform Father!"

"Mm!" Qi Xiang pondered for a moment before looking 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. We must do everything possible to win over such figures!"

"Yes, your son understands!" Qi Yu replied respectfully.

"In that case, I shall arrange for the Great Elder to accompany you. You must bring those two over to our side. Even if you cannot win them over, do not become enemies with them!" Qi Xiang said solemnly.

"Your son understands!" Qi Yu answered. "With the Great Elder and your son going together, success will surely come as swiftly as a horse reaching its destination!"

"Mm!" Qi Xiang looked down at Qi Yu and said lightly, "You may leave now. Take my verbal decree to the Great Elder. He will naturally accompany you!"

"Yes, Father!" Qi Yu cupped his hands. "Your son takes his leave!"

...Three updates today. The first two will remain at their usual times, while the final update will be released after midnight tonight. Once again, I ask for every kind of vote!
