The Primordial Era: Starting with Becoming a Disciple of the Queen Mother of the West

Chapter 25 Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl

Along the way, Xuan Yao looked around.

I felt that the celestial aura of West Kunlun far surpassed any I had ever seen before!

The strange peaks and ravines that are usually hidden deep in the sea of ​​clouds are now adorned with auspicious colors by the great power of the great being.

Above the nine heavens, seven-colored celestial bridges formed from pure innate spiritual energy span the sky, connecting the originally isolated floating celestial islands.

In the void, hundreds and thousands of auspicious birds such as blue phoenixes, fire phoenixes, and white cranes, as well as pure-blooded divine beasts that are rarely seen in ordinary times, are now circling and flying above Yaochi, emitting clear and melodious cries.

And on those long, white jade steps leading to the depths of the Jade Pool, stretching for tens of thousands of steps.

Countless maids, clad in colorful cloud-patterned robes and carrying jade platters, spiritual fruits, and fine wines, moved about in an orderly fashion, like butterflies flitting among flowers.

What shocked Xuan Yao even more was that from time to time, wisps of earth-shattering, even earth-shattering, energy that could resonate with the laws of heaven and earth, would fall from the distant horizon among the peaks.

Some were a sharp sword light that reached the heavens and the earth, some were a cloud of demons that blotted out the sun, and some were simply a Tai Chi array that evolved the birth and death of the world!

Clearly, these beings, who made no attempt to conceal their terrifying power, were all immortals and supreme beings from all corners of the primordial world who had come to the banquet at the behest of the Queen Mother of the West.

Although Xuan Yao had long since become a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West, and had listened to the supreme Dao for hundreds of years in this Jade Pool.

But that was just private instruction between master and disciple before.

Now, I can truly witness this magnificent scene of countless immortals paying homage and gathering countless ancient beings from the primordial world.

He still couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and exhilaration as a cultivator from the primordial era.

"This is the primordial world, this is the true pinnacle of power!"

Xuan Yao sighed inwardly.

Following the maid's guidance, Xuan Yao stepped into the outermost edge of the Jade Pool Wonderland.

He first followed the strict etiquette and paid his respects to the fairy attendant in charge of welcoming guests and verifying identities, handing over his inner sect jade token.

Then, a female immortal led him, according to his status as an inner disciple, into the center of the Jade Pool where the grand banquet was actually held.

The seating arrangement at this grand banquet in Yaochi was extremely meticulous, reflecting the strict hierarchical order of seniority, age, and cultivation levels prehistoric times.

Xuan Yao was an inner disciple whose identity was bestowed upon him by the Queen Mother of the West.

Their seats were naturally quite high, and the tables were laden with rare and exquisite wines and fruits that were hard to find elsewhere.

However, considering the overall picture of the Yaochi Grand Gathering, his position is definitely not among the top.

Even so, he could only barely be ranked last among all the powerful seniors.

There is no other reason.

The reason is that most of those qualified to attend the banquet today are Great Luo Golden Immortals who dominate one side of the primordial world, and ancient innate saints who have been in seclusion for many years.

There were even those three thousand mortals from Zixiao Palace who had once listened to the teachings of their master, the Queen Mother of the West, in the Zixiao Palace beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens!

Before these ancient beings who have lived for countless eons and can grasp stars and the moon with a mere gesture.

With Xuan Yao's current cultivation level of only the Perfected Immortal, even if he is wearing the noble identity of the Queen Mother of the West's inner disciple, he is absolutely not qualified to sit on equal footing with them or be ranked at the front.

Xuan Yao felt no disappointment or resentment whatsoever.

In the primordial world, human relationships are disregarded; only cultivation level and background matter.

He is not worthy of his position. If we were to place a mere Xuanxian (a type of immortal) in the front row where powerful beings gather, it would only bring trouble upon ourselves.

After taking his seat, Xuan Yao sat up straight and composed, without any haste or impatience.

His gaze swept calmly over his surroundings.

Soon, not far ahead, in a position quite far forward, I saw a familiar, beautiful figure.

She was the same Su Nu who had sat with him on the jade platform by the water that day, discussing the Dao and pointing out the principles of Yin and Yang and the blessings of virtue.

As a senior disciple of Xikunlun, Su Nu had already cultivated to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, so her position was naturally ahead of Xuan Yao.

Seemingly noticing Xuan Yao's gaze, Su Nu turned her head slightly.

Upon seeing that it was Xuan Yao who had arrived, he raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded gently in acknowledgment.

Her demeanor remained as gentle and composed as ever, seemingly out of place with the bustling noise around her, creating a serene and tranquil world of her own.

Xuan Yao returned the greeting with a respectful smile and bowed respectfully from afar.

Just as Xuan Yao was about to step forward and start a conversation with Su Nu.

Suddenly, another strange female fairy appeared beside them, whose temperament was completely different from that of the fairyland of Yaochi.

This woman was tall and slender, and unlike other female immortals who wore long dresses of colorful clouds, she was covered with a dark feather robe that was as deep as the night.

Her appearance was extremely cold and beautiful, and her eyes were as calm as a deep, cold pool that had never turned over, exuding a chilling aura that could not be looked at directly.

What's most terrifying is that although there's no magical power emanating from her body...

But Xuan Yao could clearly perceive it.

A terrifying aura of killing intent emanated from this woman's body.

This kind of energy is unlike the ordinary way of killing, but secretly conforms to the principle of heavenly warfare.

Xuan Yao's gaze sharpened for a moment, and he instantly guessed the woman's identity!

Looking across the entire Western Kunlun Mountains, there is only one female immortal who, while cultivating to the Taiyi realm or even higher, also possesses such a pure aura of warfare and battle formations.

He was the eldest inner disciple of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is destined to be famous throughout the entire prehistoric world. In the future, during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, she will descend to the mortal realm to assist the Yellow Emperor in defeating Chiyou, thus forging an immeasurable karmic bond with the human race!

"Greetings, Senior Sister Xuan Nu."

Xuan Yao dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately stood up and slowly greeted the emperor.

The goddess stopped in her tracks upon hearing the sound.

Those cold eyes scrutinized Xuan Yao from head to toe a few times.

At first, her gaze held a scrutinizing quality, but after only a few breaths, a hint of surprised interest appeared in her eyes.

With Xuan Nu's discerning eye, she naturally saw through Xuan Yao's true nature at a glance.

A black tiger that attained enlightenment after birth was nothing special in this primordial world where origins are highly valued.

However, the junior brother Xuan Yao, who had only recently been accepted into the inner sect by his master, possessed an unusually harmonious and perfect internal energy!

The ferocious aura of the black tiger, which should have easily spiraled out of control and clouded the mind, was actually suppressed by an extremely pure and virtuous aura, and could even be said to have been perfectly refined and fused together.

What surprised Xuan Nu even more was...

She herself was extremely proficient in military strategy and tactics.

At this moment, he keenly sensed a rather remarkable sense of strategic deployment from Xuan Yao's restrained aura of fortune and misfortune.

That was clearly a unique aura that could only be cultivated by integrating the principles of array formations into one's own cultivation of the Great Dao.

"Junior Brother's aura is perfectly smooth and consistent, with blessings and killing power blending together, and it also contains the principles of mutual generation and restraint of formations."

A rare hint of appreciation appeared on Xuan Nu's usually icy face:

"No wonder Master made an exception and accepted you, a demon born after birth, into the inner sect."

If you have some free time in the future, Junior Brother, you might as well come and sit at my Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Cave. We are fellow disciples, and we can test each other's understanding of how to use this formation to defend against enemies.

Xuan Nu has always been fascinated by military formations and tactics. When she met someone who shared her interests, she didn't put on airs as the senior sister and immediately returned a polite Daoist greeting to Xuan Yao.

"Since Senior Sister has invited me, how could Xuan Yao dare to refuse? I will definitely visit her in the future to seek her guidance."

Xuan Yao was overjoyed and readily agreed.

This was an olive branch extended by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden herself.

If I could establish a connection with Senior Sister Xikunlun, who is proficient in formations, I would surely avoid countless detours in my future exploration of using formations to ward off evil.

However, before the three could exchange any more pleasantries or have a deeper conversation...

"Whoosh—! Boom!"

Suddenly, a burst of celestial music, resounding through the heavens, erupted above the vast and boundless Jade Pool in the distance!

The harmonious sounds of zithers and lutes, along with the resounding toll of bells and drums, instantly drowned out all the clamor of the crowd.

Followed by.

Above the sky, auspicious clouds burst forth, and ten thousand feet of golden light cascaded down like a waterfall from the heavens, illuminating the already extremely luxurious Yaochi Festival as if it were a crystal fairyland.

Xuan Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he, Xuan Nu, Su Nu, and the others all turned their gazes toward the towering clouds.
