Don't Talk Nonsense!

Lin Yunji's destination was the western lands.

The red area shown in the map information that Lin Yunji obtained by consuming Faith Points was located in the western lands.

However, this time the area involved was not the World of Ultimate Bliss of Jieyin and Zhunti, but another place— Mara Mountain!

Lin Yunji was no stranger to this name, because in High Antiquity times, the Daoist temple of the Devil Ancestor Luohou was located within this Mara Mountain.

Mara Mountain is an endless mountain range stretching for tens of millions of miles, with countless peaks connected together, forming a continuous and towering range.

Moreover, the area between the mountain peaks is filled with dark demonic energy, miasma, Sha Qi, and death energy.

During this time, the Devil Ancestor imposed many restrictions and set up numerous formations.

It is one of the most dangerous places on the Primordial Wilderness Land, and even the most powerful beings, such as the Daluo Golden Immortal, dare not venture in rashly.

If an ordinary being were to enter, its body would be invaded by demonic energy, its shell corroded by Sha Qi, and its mind clouded by malevolent energy. Prolonged exposure to this dense deathly aura would eventually plunge it into endless slaughter, its mind consumed by intense killing intent, and its lifespan wasted without its knowledge.

Thus, Mara Mountain became as famous as the swamps of the Northern Darkness, the Blood Sea in the Netherworld, and the Undying Volcano in the south, becoming a forbidden area in the Primordial Wilderness Land.

Of course, the main reason why all the creatures of the Primordial Wilderness were unwilling to step into Mara Mountain again was that the Daoist temple of the Devil Ancestor Luohou was set up here. Moreover, the land of Mara Mountain was barren and the Spiritual Qi was thin. Almost no plants grew on the mountain peaks, and the mountains were full of demonic energy. There was nothing to gain by risking one's life to enter. It was simply not worth the risk!

Nobody's stupid; who would do such an unprofitable deal?

Above a white cloud in the sky.

Lin Yunji was lying lazily on his back, while the Xihe sisters Xihe the Three Xiao Sisters were chatting away beside him, their cheerful laughter ringing out from time to time.

"Sister Changxi, how did you meet Senior Brother? I'm so curious! Could you tell me?"

Suddenly, Bixiao blinked, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at Changxi, who was laughing happily to the side.

"Ah! Oh, there's nothing wrong with talking about it! We bumped into each other on the Lunar Star!"

Xihe stretched out her little white finger, pointed to the sky, and said with a grin, "Because my sister and I are beings born from the Lunar Star, we have never left the Lunar Star since birth, nor have we ever seen any other beings, until..."

So Changxi recounted how she and Xihe He had stumbled upon Lin Yunji and the Lady Nüwa.

They then recounted how they later traveled together through the Primordial Wilderness, enjoying the mountains and rivers.

They also mentioned that afterward they went to the Sun Star, and due to some previous events, Lin Yunji fought with the Demon Race's Dijun and Taiyi, even nearly killing Taiyi on the spot.

Later, when they went to the Shores of the Four Seas, the Lady Nüwa suddenly attained Great Dao, created the Human Race, and became a Heavenly Dao Sage. Afterwards, she invited Primordial Wilderness beings to gather in the Chaos and witness her creation of the Empress Wa Heaven.

She recounted all sorts of old stories, all of which she intended to keep in her heart and remember firmly.

The Three Xiao Sisters of Sanxiao listened with rapt attention, wishing they could experience it for themselves.

When he heard about the earth-shattering battle between Lin Yunji, Dijun, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, his eyes revealed deep worry. But when he heard Changxi say that Lin Yunji was very brave, half-god and half-demon, with great power, and that he made Eastern Emperor Taiyi vomit blood on the spot and fly out, almost losing his life, he couldn't help but show an expression of admiration.

Then, upon hearing that the Lady Nüwa had created the Human Race on the Shores of the Four Seas and attained godhood, I couldn't help but feel a longing for her.

Later, upon hearing that the Lady Nüwa had created the Empress Wa Heaven and single-handedly created a small world, he was even more astonished!

"Wow, I never expected my senior brother to be so powerful! His cultivation is truly unfathomable!"

After a long while, Bixiao finally came to her senses and exclaimed excitedly, "That's the Demon Race race! The most powerful Demon Race race on the Primordial Wilderness Land! Their Eastern Emperor Taiyi wasn't even a match for our senior brother!?"

"My senior brother is so incredibly amazing!"

"Yes, if we hadn't heard what Sister Changxi said, we would have known that Senior Brother was powerful, but we never expected him to be... to be this strong!" Yunxiao looked at Lin Yunji, who was lying on the cloud looking bored, his eyes sparkling, and his heart couldn't help but flutter.

"As expected of the senior brother!" Qiongxiao nodded as well.

Although she didn't say much, her expression was extremely serious, and she also greatly admired Lin Yunji.

"You guys are so lucky!" Bixiao pouted, her tone tinged with envy, her expression full of longing. "I also want to be like you, experiencing so many things with Senior Brother! So that I can have so many memories to tell as stories in the future."

Hehehehehe!

Hearing Bixiao's words, Changxi couldn't help but laugh. She stuck out her tongue at Bixiao and said, "Alright, Bixiao, you're Yunji's junior sister. You can often be by his side, so why worry about not being able to experience many things with him in the future?"

"Hehe, that's true! Sister Changxi comforted me!"

"That's right! But... Sister Bixiao, there's something I'm also very curious about. I wonder if you could tell me?"

Before Bixiao could even ask, she nodded her little head repeatedly, "Yes, yes, of course you can! Sister Changxi, just ask away!"

Changxi chuckled, tapping her soft, fragrant cheek with her jade-like finger, and said, "That's right, why do you, Sister Yunxiao, and Sister Qiongxiao all have a little snake on your face?"

"Ah! This! Because..."

Bixiao glanced at Lin Yunji, then lowered her voice and recounted his earlier promise to help them improve the formation.

It's worth mentioning that when talking about Lin Yunji using his fingers as a brush to draw on their faces, Bixiao not only didn't feel wronged, but even proudly raised her little head.

It was as if they felt that Lin Yunji's ability to draw on their faces was something to be proud of and boast about.

More importantly, after hearing Bixiao's words, Changxi couldn't help but envy Bixiao.

A thought suddenly occurred to her, and she even wondered if she should ask Lin Yunji to draw a line on her face for her in the future.

"By the way, Sister Changxi, you mentioned before that you have a very good relationship with the legendary Lady Nüwa! How did Senior Brother meet her?"

Bixiao didn't elaborate on the snake pattern on her face, but instead asked this question.

It seemed that Lin Yunji's affairs were more interesting to him.

"You want to ask that... I'm not really sure about that either."

Changxi shook her head and said, "Brother Yunji and Lady Nüwa were already quite familiar with each other long before they met us! They must have known each other for a long time."

"I know they are all among the three thousand listeners of the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall; it's possible they met there."

Upon hearing Changxi's words, the Three Xiao Sisters were immediately shocked and stared at Changxi with wide eyes.

"The three thousand listeners of the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall!?"

Bixiao was utterly astonished and exclaimed in disbelief, "Could this be the legendary Purple Treasure Firmament Hall in the Chaos? The Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"

"That's right, your master Cult Master Tongtian, is also one of the three thousand listeners!" Changxi said with a smile.

"My goodness! Senior Brother is amazing!" Bixiao exclaimed in surprise, speaking from the bottom of her heart.

"But that's quite normal! Dijun and Taiyi were also listeners, and they were beaten to a pulp by Brother Yunji, weren't they?"

"Yes, yes!"

Hearing this, the Three Xiao Sisters felt somewhat relieved.

But at the same time, they also admired Lin Yunji even more.

Their senior brother is really amazing!

He was one of the three thousand listeners of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sermons!

Befriend the legendary Heavenly Dao Sage, Lady Nüwa!

They decisively defeated the powerful Demon Race Eastern Emperor Taiyi!

It inspired the Lady Nüwa, leading her to a sudden realization and the creation of the Human Race!

He can even unleash a mysterious array with a wave of his hand!

He is shrouded in countless mysteries; the more powerful he becomes, the more enigmatic he becomes.

"And one more thing, I'll tell you something secretly!"

At this moment, Changxi seemed to remember something and lowered her voice to the Three Xiao Sisters, saying, "Moreover, Lady Nüwa Nuwa has a nickname for Brother Yunji!"

"What? A nickname?"

Doesn't that mean they have a very good relationship?

The Three Xiao Sisters became even more curious, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at Changxi, waiting for her to continue.

"It's Xiao! Yu! Zhu!"

Under the intense gazes of the Three Xiao Sisters, Changxi spoke each word carefully.

The Three Xiao Sisters exclaimed in surprise, "Little Jade Bamboo?"

Shh! Don't talk nonsense!

Changxi quickly gestured for them to be quiet, telling them not to shout, and whispered, "Only the Lady Nüwa can call Brother Yunji by that nickname. Even we've never called him that. It's fine if you know, but please don't call him that!"

"Okay, okay! We got it. Anything else?"

"Also, I heard that the Three-Colored Divine Spring, the treasure that Lady Nüwa used to create the Human Race, was given to her by Brother Yunji!"

"Anything else?"

"Besides..."

Then, Changxi told him what she knew about the relationship between Lin Yunji and the Lady Nüwa.

The Three Xiao Sisters listened with great interest, their curiosity greatly satisfied.

And above that cloud not far away.

Although Lin Yunji's posture remained unchanged, still lying lazily on the soft clouds, he was somewhat amused and exasperated.

He had, of course, heard what they were saying.

Did they deliberately lower their voices?

He's a cultivator, you know!

Moreover, he has already reached the Mid-stage Quasi-Sage!

If you really don't want him to hear something, why not just send it telepathically?

This is utterly self-deception!

However, hearing their occasional laughter, Lin Yunji's mood improved.

Besides, their recounting of these events helped him recall them, making it quite entertaining to listen to, even if it was just like listening to a story.

Time flies.

Lin Yunji and his group traveled westward and finally arrived at the western land of the Primordial Wilderness.

This place is very different from the lands of the East.

After several major battles, it was extremely barren and desolate.

Due to the lack of Spiritual Qi, many creatures here have failed to develop intelligence.

It is utterly incomparable to the vast, resource-rich, Spiritual Qi vibrant, and blessed land of the East.

After arriving here, the women's conversation gradually quieted down.

They looked down at the barren land and bare mountains, and couldn't help but frown.

"This western land is too desolate! It's one thing that the Spiritual Qi is so thin, but how come there are so few living beings as well?" Bixiao pouted, a hint of pity on her face.

Changxi picked up the conversation and explained, "Legend has it that after the great god Pangu created heaven and earth, the western lands were a very prosperous place. It was only after repeated wars that they became what they are today."

"Senior Brother, do you have any way to restore this place to its former prosperity?" Yunxiao couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Yunji and ask.

Upon hearing her question, the five women all turned to look at Lin Yunji.

"No, no, no, you're overestimating me! Even that old man Hongjun... well, even the Dao Ancestor and the other Heavenly Dao Sage couldn't do something like this, let alone me! What merit do I have!"

Seeing the five women's hopeful eyes, Lin Yunji was both amused and exasperated, waving his hands and saying, "If we were to really do that, I'm afraid we'd have to go into the torrent of time to even have a chance."

At the same time, Lin Yunji couldn't help but think of Jieyin and Zhunti.

He couldn't help but think, "Those two hypocritical old men use the slogan of the impoverished Western world to swindle and deceive people, but in reality, they're just after the Western Sect!"

"During the later period of the Journey to the West, the Western Sect evolved into Buddhism at its peak. Even then, the western lands remained barren!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yunji felt even more contempt for those two hypocritical old men, Jieyin and Zhunti!

What shameless Sage are!

So the cloud they were riding continued to drift westward, heading deeper into the western land.

On this barren land, they encountered a very powerful creature.

It was the Qilin Race.

The Qilin Race, as one of the powerful races among the hundreds of races in High Antiquity times, possesses an extraordinary aura in every single creature!

Although the Qilin Race disappeared into the Primordial Wilderness Land after the Dragon-Han Great Calamity, they became auspicious mythical beasts in this western land.

"Senior Brother, how much longer until we reach the place you want to go?"

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, Bixiao couldn't help but look at Lin Yunji.

She rested her chin on her hands, blinking her big eyes as she looked at the latter.

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon!" Lin Yunji smiled.

This seemed to be in response to Lin Yunji's words.

Before long, they rode on clouds through a vast swamp shrouded in miasma, and soon a mountain peak came into view.

It was a continuous mountain range, and what they saw was only the first peak.

The mountain peaks were connected, stretching endlessly into the distance, with demonic energy billowing within, as if isolated and forming their own space.

In the void, rolling purple lightning intertwined and surged in the air.

Moreover, each mountain peak was bare, utterly desolate, and devoid of any life.

It was as if this mountain range had become a dead zone.

"Whoa!"

Even before entering the Mara Mountain Range, one immediately feels a chilling wind blowing, and demonic energy, malevolent Sha Qi, and death energy surge and rush towards them.

"..."

Looking at the mountain range shrouded in demonic energy before them, the Three Xiao Sisters subconsciously swallowed hard, their feet involuntarily stopping in their tracks, their faces turning pale.

"Big... Senior Brother, the destination you mentioned, is it... is it inside here?" Bixiao pointed to the Mara Mountain Range, her voice trembling slightly.

"Right here!" Lin Yunji laughed.

At the same time, he turned his gaze to the summit of one of the mountains in the range, a look of surprise on his face.
