A strand of Innate Xin Metal Qi has taken form...
This root is not simple at all!
Yu Yuan's gaze flickered slightly.
If he remembered correctly, the Western Sect leader seemed to be a strand of Innate Geng Metal Qi that had taken form.
Geng Metal is yang, Xin Metal is yin.
Geng Metal carries a murderous aura, fundamentally strong and resilient, dull and sharp, cold and solemn, known as Yang Metal.
Xin Metal is supple, warm and clear, able to support nations, able to save lives, known as Yin Metal.
Just based on their roots, it is difficult to say which is superior.
However, the Western Sect leader had already taken form at the very beginning of Creation of Heaven and Earth, received numerous fortunes and opportunities, and has been cultivating for who knows how many eons.
While "Golden Spirit" has just taken shape at this moment.
Even if their roots are the same, the gap between the two is now as vast as a chasm.
There are only so many opportunities in this Heaven and Earth.
Those who transform early get to feast, those who transform later can't even sip the broth.
Yu Yuan felt somewhat regretful for his own mentor.
If she could have taken form at the beginning of Creation of Heaven and Earth, even if she couldn't become a sage, she could at least found a lineage.
However, the early stages of the Primordial era were extremely brutal, and the likelihood of perishing early seemed even greater.
At this moment, the newly transformed "Golden Spirit" looked at him with some caution, seeing him staring intently at her, the wariness on her face grew even thicker.
With her roots, she had already awakened to spiritual wisdom before her transformation and understood many principles of the great Dao.
For example, the tribulation of transformation!
Ever since the birth from the Heavenly Dao, in the Primordial Heaven and Earth, be it insects, venomous creatures, birds, fish, beasts, scaled, armored, or feathered...
All tangible and intangible spirits, the collective intelligence of various beings, those who wish to become Innate Taoist Bodies, must all undergo the test of the Heavenly Dao.
Under normal circumstances, this test will come in the form of thunder sent by the heavens.
Survive it, and the transformation is successful.
If unable to withstand it, one returns to ignorance, awaiting the next opportunity to transform.
In addition, a very few number of beings will face the trial of Red Dust upon transformation.
This is often due to celestial phenomena during transformation that attract covetous powerful enemies, making it far more dangerous than the thunder tribulation!
Because the might of the transformational Heavenly Thunder always has an upper limit, while the powerful enemy attracted by the celestial phenomena could be any kind of existence.
At this moment, in the eyes of "Golden Spirit," Yu Yuan, who easily swatted away her companion Spirit Treasure, the Flying Gold Sword, was undoubtedly such a formidable enemy!
However, Yu Yuan had no such recognition.
He looked at the figure standing among the exotic flowers, his "mentor," and a rather peculiar feeling welled up inside him.
He still remembered that upon his own transformation, the first person he saw was his mentor, Golden Spirit Saint Mother.
And now, he witnessed the transformation process of his "mentor" and also became the first person the other party saw.
This feeling was too wonderful.
As he was lost in thought, a surprised voice rang out.
"It seems today is my lucky day, as I, Ashen Divine Lord, have stumbled upon the transformation of Innate Xin Metal Qi!"
Accompanied by the voice, the world suddenly darkened.
A fierce wind arose without warning.
A beam of gray light descended from the sky and landed above the valley, revealing a figure.
He was a tall and lean Daoist in gray robes.
With a stern face and beady eyes, his deep and glossy eyes were full of moving shadows, currently looking with some surprise at Yu Yuan and the group of Witch Clan warriors in the valley.
"Aren't you from the Witch Clan who do not cultivate Primordial Spirits? Even if you catch this Innate Xin Metal Spirit, you won't be able to absorb her Spiritual Energy, right? Oh, I get it..."
At that time, there was no Demon Clan Heavenly Court, nor were there conflicts between the Witch and Demon clans, so his reaction to seeing these Witch Clan warriors was simply one of curiosity and caution rather than hostility, taking the initiative to ask.
Before he finished speaking, he saw the strange flower where the "Golden Spirit" stood, and his eyes revealed a hint of realization.
"You want that Spirit Root, don't you? Well, that happens to work, we can join forces and each take what we need!"
After saying that, without waiting for the others to respond, he turned himself into a black whirlwind a hundred zhang in diameter and immediately swept towards "Golden Spirit."
"Golden Spirit" wore a slightly worried expression on her delicate face, the small golden sword pinned in her hair instantly transformed into a beam of golden light and shot out.
But Yu Yuan was even quicker, reaching out his large hand and with a sweeping slap, aimed at the whirlwind.
"Boom!"
Yu Yuan's physical strength was overwhelming; with one slap, he directly shattered the black whirlwind.
The heartbroken Daoist in gray was taken aback and angrily asked Yu Yuan, "If you Witch Clan don't cultivate Primordial Spirits and cannot assimilate her Spiritual Energy, why contend with me?"
Clearly, the gray-robed Daoist mistook him for a member of the Witch Clan.
Yu Yuan couldn't be bothered to explain and charged forward, throwing a hefty slap as he approached.
"Slap!"
The gray-robed Daoist couldn't dodge in time, got hit squarely on the face by the slap.
In this instant, he felt an unimaginable colossal force strike him, and his entire body flew out uncontrollably.
It was like he was a cannonball that smashed directly into a hard cliff thousands of yards away with a loud "boom", embedding deeply into the rocky wall.
"Ding!"
A streak of golden light circled around Yu Yuan and shot towards the cliff.
Yu Yuan turned his head to look at the "Golden Spirit" who had made the follow-up attack; she immediately stepped back cautiously and called back her Flying Gold Sword to circle protectively around her.
However, compared to before, the hostility in her eyes had much diminished.
Yu Yuan waved at her and said with a smile, "With me here, he won't be able to hurt you."
"Hmph~"
"Golden Spirit" pursed her lips, her voice crisp and chilly as a mountain stream.
"I can handle it myself; I don't need your help!"
"Hmm?"
Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He hadn't expected his master to have such a tsundere side.
Just then, a sensation in his heart alerted him that the grey-robed Daoist had transformed into a streak of gray light and burst out of the cliff, his hands outstretched with curved, sharp claws aiming fiercely at him.
Yu Yuan felt somewhat surprised.
The palm strike he had just delivered was extraordinarily powerful.
He had thought it would have been enough to reduce his opponent to shattered bones and torn muscles, but it turned out that the grey-robed Daoist only had a swollen cheek, with the rest of his body seemingly unharmed.
It seemed this fellow had something up his sleeve, no wonder he dared to strike directly.
Thinking this, a flash of Upper Pure Divine Light shone in his eyes.
Under the scrutiny of his Upper Pure Divine Eye, the true foundation of the grey-robed Daoist could not hide; it was mostly a grey wolf demon with a silver back and red eyes, shrouded in thick Blood Evil Vicious Qi, but there were also three small grayish-white buds on top of his head.
Clearly, this Gray Divine Lord had reached the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, the realm of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Not only that, but his physical body was also incredibly strong; whether in offense or defense, he was far superior to those of the same realm in the later ages.
"I have no old grievances or recent quarrels with you, why do you ruin my good deed!"
The grey-robed Daoist attacked while still not forgetting to roar out loud, seemingly very much perplexed by Yu Yuan's actions.
Yu Yuan's response was quite straightforward.
He reached out his right hand and grabbed the back of the grey-robed Daoist's waist.
At this moment, he stood twelve or thirteen feet tall, and his frame was extremely burly; his hand, far larger than a giant fan, simply picked up the tall and thin grey-robed Daoist as easily as picking up a baby chick.
Whoever had been slapped away and still felt indignant was now pale as death, struggling desperately.
Yu Yuan exerted a little strength in his hand, and the grey-robed Daoist's bones shattered and his muscles tore, blood spurted out.
"Spare... my life..."
At this moment, the grey-robed Daoist truly felt what it meant to be outmatched by an opponent and hastily started pleading for his life.
Only then did Yu Yuan slightly loosen his grip and said in a casual manner, "Want to save your life, eh? Then I'll ask you a few questions... Have you ever heard of Red Cloud Ancestor?"
The grey-robed Daoist was slightly taken aback and then hurriedly nodded, "I know! I know! That Red Cloud Ancestor is currently in Dawn Dew Valley..."
At this point, he stopped, looking at Yu Yuan and said, "If I tell you everything I know, can I bargain for my life?"
Yu Yuan laughed heartily, "Don't worry, as long as you confess truthfully, I assure you can leave unscathed... if you don't believe me, we can make a Dao oath!"
The grey-robed Daoist breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, "That won't be necessary, I know you Witch Clan are straightforward and honest, not the cunning and deceitful kind like the Spirit Fox Clan."
Hearing this, all the Witch Clan warriors present involuntarily grinned.
For them, this was the best kind of praise.
Yu Yuan also grinned, revealing what he felt was his honest smile.
The grey-robed Daoist didn't know much.
Just half a day ago, there were unusual signs of Heaven and Earth in Dawn Dew Valley, as if an Innate Spiritual Object had been born.
Thus, the grey-robed Daoist had rushed there to investigate, but found that many people had already gathered, including Red Cloud Ancestor, and several individuals with profound Dao Xing fighting over the treasure in the valley.
To avoid being implicated, the grey-robed Daoist left Dawn Dew Valley but unexpectedly discovered another sign of Heaven and Earth along the way, which brought him here in a rush.
After hearing his words, Yu Yuan nodded slightly, "One last question, where is Dawn Dew Valley?"
"From here, if you travel southeast for about three hundred thousand li, you should be able to see Dawn Dew Valley."
After answering the questions, the grey-robed Daoist looked at Yu Yuan, as if it was only natural for Yu Yuan to let him go.
Yu Yuan shook his head, somewhat regretfully, "You really should have made an oath."
As he spoke, he applied tremendous force with his hand, slamming the grey-robed Daoist onto the ground in front of him before stomping down heavily with his big foot.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, a deep hole appeared in the valley, along with a huge, headless wolf corpse.
The grey-robed Daoist's Primordial Spirit attempted to flee as a streak of gray light but was also caught by Yu Yuan, who held it in his palm-sized hands and ground it into dust with a single crush.
Having done all this, he casually dusted off his hands, only to find that "master" had turned into a streak of golden light and swiftly glided along the ground, disappearing into the depths of the Secluded Valley in an instant.
And those Witch Clan warriors were gazing at him with an indescribable look in their eyes.
Especially that Pan, who was almost about to write "doubt" across his face.
Their Great Witch could never be so cunning and deceitful!
