Chapter 880: Wudang Holy Mother

Upon arriving in Nanzhan Buzhou, the appearance of Zhenyuanzi naturally drew the gaze of some.

The first to take notice was Lishan Laomu, who was hidden within Nanzhan Buzhou—no, it should be Wudang Holy Mother.

Wudang Holy Mother was also a powerhouse at the Quasi-Saint level; although she had only severed her evil corpse and possessed a cultivation base at the peak of the early-stage Quasi-Saint, she was a Quasi-Saint nonetheless.

Zhenyuanzi restrained his aura, which could deceive those Great Luo Golden Immortals, but it could not deceive her gaze.

"Why has this person suddenly come here?"

Nanzhan Buzhou was the base camp of the Human Race, and as a direct disciple of the Jie Sect, Wudang Holy Mother naturally understood the Qi of Luck of the Human Race.

Although the Jie Sect had been defeated, she, Wudang Holy Mother, was still here, so the Jie Sect naturally could not perish.

She had founded the Piaomiao Sacred Land in this Nanzhan Buzhou, which could be considered as inheriting a portion of the Jie Sect's will, and it was now one of the top ten sects in Nanzhan Buzhou.

Compared to sects like the Shushan Sword Sect and Jade Kunlun, it was not the least bit inferior.

Over these years, the Jie Sect disciples she had gathered had now recovered a few signs of prosperity.

Of course, the Chan Sect and Human Teachings naturally knew this, but they dared not provoke her excessively; the Investiture of the Gods war had already ended.

Although the Three Teachings had split up, following the orders of the Saints, the Three Teachings no longer had friction.

What's more, although the Jie Sect had been defeated, its strength was truly not gone.

Lishan Laomu was a powerhouse at the Quasi-Saint level, and in the Human Teachings and Chan Sect, there were only a handful of people who had reached the Quasi-Saint level.

Lishan Laomu, who was Wudang Holy Mother, had possessed extremely powerful cultivation and combat strength back when she was in the Great Luo stage.

Now that she had become a Quasi-Saint, she remained at the top among the second-generation disciples of the Three Teachings; those who could surpass her were only Senior Brother Xuandu, Duobao, and Nanjixianweng.

However, Duobao had now become Rulai of the Buddhist Sect.

Furthermore, among the Jie Sect disciples in the Heavenly Court who were on the Investiture of the Gods list, there were nearly ten Great Luo Golden Immortals alone.

Who would dare to easily provoke the Jie Sect? Even if they knew, they all simply ignored it.

Therefore, the Piaomiao Sacred Land enjoyed the Qi of Luck of the Human Race in Nanzhan Buzhou, and the Chan Sect dared not question it; after all, if those second-generation disciples did not come out, and even that Nanjixianweng did not make a move, the rest of the Chan Sect, such as Guang Chengzi and his ilk, could not claim they could defeat Wudang Holy Mother.

Thus, the Piaomiao Sacred Land gradually grew stronger and stronger, and because the Jie Sect was different from the Chan Sect, many Immortals of the Jie Sect had actually served as officials in Great Shang during the Yin-Shang period.

Especially many Jie Sect Immortals of the Human Race; their descendants did not perish following the fall of Great Shang, and some returned to the mountains and forests.

Later, when Lishan Laomu came to Nanzhan Buzhou, these people, upon hearing of Lishan Laomu, flocked to this Piaomiao Sacred Land.

Because some of them had served as officials or were descendants of Great Shang, they naturally knew how to govern a region.

Therefore, the commoners under the rule of the Piaomiao Sacred Land lived relatively well, and at the same time, the population grew ever stronger.

Naturally, the Piaomiao Sacred Land also became stronger and stronger, faintly showing signs of the "Ten Thousand Immortals coming to court."

Of course, this "Ten Thousand Immortals" was nowhere near the scale of the Jie Sect's "Ten Thousand Immortals coming to court" back in the day.

After all, the Piaomiao Sacred Land now had hundreds of thousands of disciples, but not many had truly reached the Earth Immortal stage.

In the Jie Sect of the past, even the fourth-generation disciples were almost all Earth Immortals or even Heavenly Immortals; this was also the reason why many other Great Sects were wary.

The Jie Sect of the past was truly too terrifying.

Tongtian Shengren taught without discrimination, causing many demon-immortals from the Ten Thousand Races of Honghuang to flock to the Jie Sect; although some were of mixed quality, their strength was truly beyond reproach.

Especially some demon god bloodlines of the Demon Race.

Each one was either a Great Luo Golden Immortal or a Taiyi Golden Immortal; placed in the present, which one of them would not be a powerhouse shaking the world?

However, the Jie Sect eventually perished; a portion who were not on the Investiture of the Gods list were converted by the Western Sect, and another portion retired to the mountains and forests—the latter being fewer, of course.

After all, when Tongtian Shengren set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, it encompassed nearly ninety percent of the Jie Sect disciples.

The current Piaomiao Sacred Land consisted of the remaining disciples from back then, as well as some descendants of Yin-Shang; when Yin-Shang was defeated by Western Zhou, there were people who were unwilling to surrender to Western Zhou and traveled over mountains and rivers to leave Jiuzhou.

Now, after more than one hundred thousand years of development, the Piaomiao Sacred Land had hundreds of thousands of disciples, and the mortals under its rule had reached nearly one hundred million.

The massive Qi of Luck also allowed this founder of the Piaomiao Sacred Land to reach an increasingly high realm, even nearly catching up to those veteran Quasi-Saints.

At the peak of the early-stage Quasi-Saint, her evil corpse had also reached the peak of the early-stage Quasi-Saint.

In fact, if this Lishan Laomu wanted to sever her benevolent corpse, it would be very easy, but she remembered her teacher's instructions regarding the issue of Innate Spiritual Treasures for the three corpses.

This Lishan Laomu still had the ambition to climb higher peaks, so she naturally did not want to sever the three corpses easily; if she couldn't merge them in the end, wouldn't that be a disaster?

As a direct disciple of Tongtian Shengren, she was not lacking in Innate Spiritual Treasures; she even had more than three, but these few Innate Spiritual Treasures were not very suitable as objects to entrust the benevolent corpse.

Therefore, over these years, she had not severed her benevolent corpse, but was waiting—waiting for when the Heavenly Court conquered other worlds and obtained Innate Spiritual Treasures, hoping to encounter one suitable for her that could be used for exchange.

In the Heavenly Court, there were so many Jie Sect disciples, and some even participated in the great wars.

For instance, that Doumu Yuanjun, who had a great reputation in the Heavenly Court's combat department, because she did not become decadent after being placed on the Investiture of the Gods list.

Instead, she actively fought for the Heavenly Court and conquered other worlds; after all, although being on the Investiture of the Gods list had restrictions, it only restricted the improvement of their cultivation base, not their realm.

She could cultivate her realm, and sooner or later, she would break free from the Investiture of the Gods list.

This Doumu Yuanjun only regarded the Investiture of the Gods list as a punishment for her; by conquering other worlds in the Heavenly Court and obtaining the Merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, in fact, once the Merit condensed to a certain degree, it would automatically allow her primordial spirit to break free from the Investiture of the Gods list.

In this regard, many Jie Sect disciples in the Heavenly Court were just like this Yuanjun; of course, there was also a portion who only took benefits in the Heavenly Court and did no work.

They enjoyed the Heavenly Court's Qi of Luck, did nothing, and directly sealed their Da Gong.

There were quite a few such Jie Sect disciples.

But regardless, the fact that a portion of the Jie Sect disciples in the Heavenly Court were exploring other worlds also gave Lishan Laomu an opportunity.

Unfortunately, for so many years, those Jie Sect disciples in the Heavenly Court had indeed competed for a few Innate Spiritual Treasures, but none were suitable for her.

However, this Lishan Laomu was able to sit still and was not in the least bit anxious.

In the end, her realm was sufficient, and as for things like spiritual treasures, she believed that one day, she would obtain them.

If it really didn't work out, she would just walk the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal; the method of attaining the Dao was not limited to just this one path, and it didn't mean she couldn't walk others.

Her teacher had walked three paths simultaneously.
