Golden Spirit Holy Mother

The most striking sight in this small world was an immensely vast continent suspended in the air.

On the continent, ancient trees towered into the sky, divine peaks soared, and great marshes ran deep. Endless strands of the Great Dao descended, and Dao and principle intertwined and manifested across the land, making it seem like an immortal realm.

In the void beyond the continent, a great sun and a full moon revolved in alternation, bringing light and darkness, day and night to the small world. Specks of immortal radiance became stars filling the heavens, emanating the rich power of the celestial stars.

Unlike the world outside, this small world abounded in spiritual energy and source essence, and the laws of the Great Dao were especially active. It was a cultivation sanctuary of the highest order in the universe, no worse even than the star formed from Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's immortal platform.

Moreover, He Mu could see that every sun, moon, star, divine peak, and great marsh in this realm occupied a special node within the small world. While supplying it with an unending stream of the source essence of heaven and earth, they were also linked together, forming an unparalleled grand formation that enveloped the entire world.

The moment He Mu stepped into the small world, the grand formation had already begun to operate.

The supreme divine power accumulated day and night over tens of thousands of years gathered within the fused sun and moon overhead, ready to unleash a world-shaking blow at any moment.

Clang-

A bell rang, its waves of sound reverberating across the entire continent without fading for a long time. The whole continent resonated with it, producing echoes that shook heaven and earth.

The next moment, vast fluctuations surged from several divine peaks on the continent, nearly all at the Quasi-Venerable level. Powerful beings seemed to have awakened within their source, ready to break their seals and emerge to confront the mighty invaders.

Countless streams of immortal light also rose from the mountains and fields. Innumerable disciples of Lingbao were taking action, merging with the grand formation, their fighting spirit piercing the heavens. They were like an unparalleled killing sword drawn from its sheath, poised to cleave the nine heavens, pointing straight at He Mu and the young Daoist who had entered the small world.

As the many disciples and followers of Lingbao appeared one after another, the grand formation enveloping the small world fully manifested, enclosing He Mu and the young Daoist Wenxin as their auras locked into a standoff.

Then, from a golden divine peak on the continent, a woman dressed in gold emerged, her entire body wreathed in golden light.

Her aura was steady and her vital energy abundant. She was unmistakably a ninth-heaven Quasi-Venerable.

The gold-robed woman swiftly descended onto the formation's central nexus, facing He Mu directly. As the grand formation operated, her imposing aura continued to rise, bringing her close to a level that nearly reached the pinnacle of the Dao.

A cold, resistant hostility faintly emanated from the gold-robed woman. Yet she did not attack immediately, choosing instead to assess her enemy.

After all, even though she had nearly risen to the level of alternative Dao attainment, she could not see through He Mu at all.

The woman first cupped her hands in greeting, then asked in a clear voice.

"May I ask which Forbidden Zone you hail from, senior, that you have come to our Jade Roaming Palace in person? Our Lingbao Lineage failed to welcome you from afar, which was indeed discourteous, but what business brings a Supreme here?"

Although she offered a greeting before questioning him, the woman before them clearly showed little respect. Instead, her words were full of challenges, as though she thought nothing of the lofty Life Forbidden Zones.

At the mention of a Forbidden Zone, the disciples of Lingbao within the grand formation immediately braced as though facing a formidable enemy, pouring more divine power into the formation patterns. For a moment, the fused sun and moon overhead seemed to brighten further, and the formation's aura grew even more imposing, as though it could suppress all time and space through the ages and ward off every invading foe.

He Mu, however, was not at all surprised by her words.

Earlier, while in the chaos, Heavenly Venerable Lingbao had spoken to He Mu about his many disciples. Unless he was mistaken, the woman before him was Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the most fierce-tempered of his female disciples.

He Mu looked at Golden Spirit Holy Mother and asked.

"How do you know I am not the Current Heavenly Venerable? Why assume I come from a Forbidden Zone?"

Following up on He Mu's words, Golden Spirit Holy Mother asked again.

"If you are not a Forbidden Zone Supreme, then may I ask who you are, senior?"

"I am the Contemporary Dao Attainer, known as Wuliang."

That was He Mu's answer.

At this, Golden Spirit Holy Mother's expression softened somewhat, but she did not relax her vigilance in the slightest. She continued.

"So it is the Immeasurable Heaven Venerable of this age before us. We have been discourteous. This humble Daoist is Golden Spirit, a disciple of Heavenly Venerable Lingbao. This small world is the secluded dwelling of our Jade Roaming Palace's Lingbao Lineage. What business brings you here, Immeasurable Heaven Venerable?"

Sensing the sharp challenge in Golden Spirit Holy Mother's words, He Mu could not help laughing.

Sure enough, Lingbao's second disciple was just as he had described her: a strong-willed woman with a temper as fierce as fire.

Thus, he immediately said.

"The sight merely stirred the hunter's delight in me. I came to have a look at this small world and learn a little of Lingbao's Dao, nothing more."

Golden Spirit Holy Mother frowned.

"Please forgive us, Heavenly Venerable, but our Lingbao Lineage does not receive outside guests. Please leave."

Hearing this, He Mu found it increasingly amusing. Suddenly, he felt an urge to test her a little. He put on a stern expression and said in a low voice.

"In this vast universe, where can this Venerable not go? Your Lingbao Lineage has shown no respect for a Heavenly Venerable, repeatedly offending me with your words. You deserve punishment."

The next moment, He Mu slowly extended his right palm, pressing it down toward the Lingbao Grand Formation led by Golden Spirit Holy Mother. Seeing this, Golden Spirit Holy Mother shouted.

"So, Immeasurable Heaven Venerable, you would use your strength to bully the weak! But our Lingbao Lineage is no soft persimmon for anyone to squeeze! If you intend to attack us, you have miscalculated!"

Divine light immediately blazed around Golden Spirit Holy Mother as she drew down the sphere of light formed by the sun and moon overhead.

The next moment, bearing that vast, boundless divine power, she resolutely charged toward He Mu's descending palm and collided fiercely with it.

Boom-

An enormous explosion resounded throughout the small world. Everything paled before this heaven-shaking blow.

Yet the stalemate Golden Spirit Holy Mother had imagined never materialized. The next moment, He Mu's palm sent her flying, while the aftershock of the collision left the Lingbao Grand Formation tottering on the verge of collapse.

No one had expected a casual strike from He Mu to possess such terrifying might.

In an instant, the entire small world fell silent. A falling needle could have been heard; not even a crow or sparrow stirred.
