Chapter 584: Xiao Bai Meets the Green and White Snakes: A Historic Encounter (7/7, Requesting Subscription)

Placing a single chess piece at random, Xiao Bai began searching for demonic creatures capable of inheriting the Golden Core Dao.

The first transformation of the Golden Core Dao requires condensing a Golden Core—too reliant on innate talent; demonic creatures lacking sufficient innate talent simply cannot cultivate it, and passing it on would be pointless.

At first, Xiao Bai worried she would fail to complete her husband's assigned task.

One day later, the situation changed dramatically.

Demonic creatures with exceptional innate talent emerged like mushrooms after rain, allowing her to place over a thousand chess pieces in a single day, finishing the task at an astonishing pace.

"Is this what is called acting in accordance with Heaven's will?" Xiao Bai was stunned. "To act in harmony with Heaven's intent—this efficiency is too high!"

As she marveled, a golden cloud descended from the sky, coalescing into the shape of a Jin Buyao.

"A merit-based spiritual treasure!"

Xiao Bai stared in disbelief.

The Jin Buyao was merely a low-tier merit-based spiritual treasure, yet such a treasure was no less valuable than a Jin Xian's immortal treasure.

Cultivators of Jin Xian realm could forge such treasures, but merit-based spiritual treasures were exceedingly rare.

Even many Luo Jinxian struggled to possess even one merit-based spiritual treasure.

Xiao Bai reached out and took it, remaining motionless for a long while before snapping back to herself, refining the spiritual treasure and inserting it into her hair.

The dangling hairpin swayed, adding even more charm to her.

"Now I must find several demonic beings with suitable moral character," Xiao Bai mused. "This act feels like digging at Heaven's foundations—will Heaven itself offer assistance?"

As she pondered this, Xiao Bai idly began her search.

Boom—

A sudden downpour descended.

At this moment, Xiao Bai had reached the edge of a bamboo grove.

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened as she gazed into the bamboo grove and saw two enormous snakes coiled within, shielding the rain from a pregnant woman beneath them.

"Is this fate?"

"Or is it Heaven's will!"

Though her act was essentially digging at Heaven's foundations, Heaven not only did not object—it showed her the protagonists of the Green Snake world: the Green Snake and the White Snake.

"So this is what my husband always said—that Heaven's will is distant and unfathomable; cultivators can only deduce a little, and the rest relies entirely on luck."

"Today's events—if Heaven thought like ordinary mortals, it would surely obstruct me from seeking worthy talents and competing for the position of the Four Palaces. But Heaven did not obstruct me at all; instead, it went out of its way to help. Heaven's thoughts truly differ from those of mortals!"
