introduction
At the end of the War of the Gods, the Sect of Interpretation and the Sect of Interception finally put down all their faces and began the final battle. This battle seems to be a battle between the two major forces in the mortal world, but it is actually a battle in the circle of immortals.
Seeing that the advantage is in hand, Yuan Shi Tianzun is no longer hidden, and he wantonly kills the disciples of the sect, and many of the leaders of the second generation of disciples have died in the hands of Yuan Shi Tianzun, except for the Holy Mother of Wudang, who escaped and does not know where to go. Then why did Yuan Shi Tianzun spare the life of the Holy Mother of Wudang? This depends on the identity of the Holy Mother of Wudang.

First, it is to flee and start leaving
Many people think that after the failure of the Ten Thousand Immortal Array, the Holy Mother of Wudang was "running away", but this is not the explanation in the original book, and the description in the original book is: "At that time, the Holy Mother of Wudang saw that the formation was difficult to support, so she went first." This is enough to show two things, the first thing is that the Holy Mother of Wudang did not leave after the complete defeat of the Ten Thousand Immortal Array, but chose to leave when the situation was not good.
The second thing is that the Virgin Mary "went first", that is, when she left, the battle was not over, she was the first to leave on her own initiative, and she left openly in front of everyone. But everyone present, whether it was the Tongtian Sect Master or the Yuan Shi Tianzun, did not stop it, let alone kill it.

It's like a group of people playing football, and suddenly a player says, "Lao Tzu is no longer playing", and chooses to leave the field after speaking, but no one else stops him. That can only mean one thing, this player is a super big star. The same is true of the Holy Mother of Wudang, who can leave whenever she wants, without giving face to anyone, including saints.
If you understand it according to this logic, Yuan Shi Tianzun did not kill the Holy Mother of Wudang, but did not dare to kill, or even dare to stop her, this is the deterrent power of the Holy Mother of Wudang. So what is the background of Our Lady of Wudang, who can just walk away in front of the saints?

2. The background of the Virgin Mary
In terms of strength, although Our Lady of Wudang is a nominal second-generation disciple of the sect, her strength is not necessarily much worse than that of the saint, which can be seen in her name, the so-called "Wudang", according to the ancient interpretation of the meaning of disproportionate.
Therefore, it can be roughly understood that she is not very commensurate with the whole name of the Holy Mother, and the name of the saint should be used, and at the same time, some people understand that the master of the Tongtian Sect thinks that he is not qualified to be the teacher of the Holy Mother.
In any case, the strength of the Holy Mother of Wudang is beyond doubt, at least within the sect, even the leader of the second generation of disciples is terrified in front of the Holy Mother of Wudang, this is the impact of strength.
Although the rules of the god world are all ants under the saints, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the saints, if the strength of the Holy Mother of Wudang is infinitely close to that of the saint, then the Yuan Shi Tianzun may not be worse than the Holy Mother of Wudang.

In addition to strength, background is also a very important factor, although there are not many descriptions of the Holy Mother of Wudang in the book, but her background has also been speculated by many people, the first guess is that the Holy Mother of Wudang was once taken care of by Hongjun Ancestor, although she is a second-generation disciple of the sect.
But if she takes advantage of the relationship between Hongjun Ancestor, she will become the younger sister of Yuan Shi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master, in order to prevent the same sect from killing each other, Hongjun Ancestor directly let these two people eat poison. It is conceivable what the result will be once the Yuan Shi Tianzun makes a move on the Holy Mother of Wudang.
And the second guess is more far-reaching, that is, she is Fuxi's sister.

3. Li Shan's mother
The old mother of Li Shan is also called the old mother of Lishan, and in the myths and legends of the mainland, she is the sister of Fuxi, the first white ape in heaven and earth. Although Fu Xi never appeared in the First Battle of the Gods, and Nuwa rarely appeared, their influence in the Three Realms was very terrifying.
Aside from her own strength, Nuwa is not only the leader of the demon clan, but also the faith of the world, once they are offended, whether it is expounding the religion, intercepting the religion or the Western religion, you can play at the same time.
So what is the relationship between the old mother of Li Shan and the Holy Mother of Wudang, these two people are most likely the same person, the first judgment basis comes from "Journey to the West", Wu Chengen's version of Journey to the West, in fact, largely refers to the "Journey to the West" of the Yuan miscellaneous drama.
And in this version, it was stated that the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Old Mother of Li Shan were the same person, so if she offended the Holy Mother of Wudang, she offended a series of forces such as Nuwa and Fuxi behind her, and Yuan Shi Tianzun naturally did not dare to do this.

Coincidentally, from a religious point of view, the source of the interception of religion is the Luo religion of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the Wuwei Religion, which is the predecessor of the White Lotus Sect of the Qing Dynasty and is the product of the exchanges between many sects during the Ming Dynasty. Although it was defined as a cult by the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed the largest folk sect in the Ming Dynasty.
The god believed in by Luojiao is the unborn old mother, which is also the predecessor of the Holy Mother of Wudang, the unborn old mother has a very high status in Taoism, almost reaching the position of Sanqing, and the number of believers in many areas is far more than Sanqing. Therefore, from a religious point of view, the Holy Mother of Wudang has reached the same height as Sanqing, and once it breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable.

As the person who made the least moves in the sect, the Holy Mother of Wudang has always played a military role in the sect, and her influence in the sect is second only to the leader of the Tongtian Sect, surpassing the Duobao Daoists.
Therefore, just from the content of the "Fengshen List", we can also find the reason why Yuan Shi Tianzun did not dare to be embarrassed and not be a virgin. That is, the Holy Mother of Wudang will take away the last spark of the sect and work hard for the continuation of the sect, so that she can leave in front of the master of the Tongtian sect.
(Sanqing)
If the Yuan Shi Tianzun is difficult at this time, then the Tongtian Sect Master will definitely fight to the death, as we all know, the Yuan Shi Tianzun can't beat the Tongtian Sect Master, even if it is Hongjun, he can only use his own deterrence to reconcile the contradictions.
Once the Tongtian Sect Master goes berserk, the Three Realms may be completely finished, assuming that the Tongtian Sect Master asks the two saints of the Western Sect and Lao Tzu to kill the Yuan Shi Tianzun together on the condition of destroying the Three Realms, he will not be able to survive.

epilogue
The departure of the Holy Mother of Wudang has hinted at the final outcome of the exposition and the interception of the sect, this battle expounds the sect and admits defeat, the master of the Tongtian Sect leaves, and the rest of the people in the sect are still breathing, but what Yuan Shi Tianzun did not expect is that he will not only leave as the winner, but the twelve golden immortals under the door are also completely dispersed, and many people have also joined the Western Sect.
On the contrary, the Holy Mother of Wudang, who left early, retained a lot of power to intercept the sect, and after all the saints left, her combat power became the leader in the Three Realms, and her deterrent power far exceeded that of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
