Chapter 16
Refining the Spiritual Treasure, the Treasure Qi is Abundant
In the primordial world, time was the least valuable thing. In the blink of an eye, 500 years had passed. Around the 300th year, the two Western beings, Jieyin and Zhunti, also hurriedly arrived at Zixiao Palace, just in time for the end of Hongjun's special instruction.
Ultimately, the vast majority of people didn't hear it and were completely confused. Jieyin and Zhunti were so anxious that they almost started urinating again.
The sermon in Zixiao Palace abruptly stopped. Hongjun opened his eyes, looked into Zixiao Palace, and slowly spoke.
The 3000-year sermon has concluded. This time, I will unite with the Dao. The primordial world is not a major issue, and I will not be reborn. Remember, minor matters in the primordial world can be changed, but the great trend cannot be reversed. Remember, remember! After saying this, Hongjun slowly and directly dissipated into nothingness.
Upon hearing that Hongjun said he would not be born before the great events of the prehistoric world, everyone felt a little happy, after all, no one wanted to have another "father" above them.
Seeing Hongjun depart, everyone rose to respectfully see him off. After Hongjun's figure completely disappeared, the Zixiao Palace fell silent for a moment, and then began to whisper among themselves.
Laozi, the leader of the Three Pure Ones, stroked his long beard and looked into the depths of his eyes. He addressed Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, saying, "After this three lectures, the number of Quasi-Saints and Great Powers in the Primordial World will surely increase rapidly. We should intensify our cultivation and break through to the Saint Realm as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen complications."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable, who was standing to the side, also expressed his deep agreement. "What my elder brother said is absolutely right. We must cultivate more diligently and break through to the realm of saints as soon as possible, so as not to fail the name of the Three Pure Ones."
However, the Tongtian Sect Leader, who was naturally unrestrained, had other ideas. "Eldest brother, second brother, the three of us brothers all possess supreme treasures, which allow us to roam freely in the prehistoric world. In addition, there are my Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter. As long as I set up the Immortal Slaughter Sword Formation, it cannot be broken by any but the Four Saints. This is what our teacher said."
Xuanbao, who was watching the show from the sidelines, wished he could cover Tongtian's mouth when he heard his teacher say that. How could he say such things? He was afraid that he would be beaten up by everyone.
Sure enough, Xuanbao noticed that the expressions of the people present changed slightly. If he hadn't been paying special attention, he probably wouldn't have noticed.
Sigh, my teacher really is like that—impulsive, easily angered, and somewhat reckless. It seems I'll be busy from now on. Otherwise, my tens of thousands of junior brothers and sisters will definitely still be burdened by their not-so-bright master.
After chatting for a while, everyone went their separate ways. They had all benefited greatly from this lecture and urgently needed to go into seclusion to cultivate and make further progress.
The Three Pure Ones took Xuanbao back to Dongkunlun. However, this time Xuanbao did not make them carry him around all the time. Instead, he spread out his Holy Light Wings, with the Western Plain Cloud Banner above his head, and followed beside the Three Pure Ones without showing any signs of strain.
When the Three Pure Ones saw that Xuanbao had obtained such a precious treasure, they all marveled at Xuanbao's good fortune.
Upon arriving at the Sanqing Hall, the Sanqing gave Xuanbao a few instructions before preparing for seclusion. Before going into seclusion, each of them condensed a jade talisman and gave it to Xuanbao for protection. Each jade talisman sealed one of their supernatural abilities.
An ordinary quasi-saint would be severely injured even if he survived a single blow. Xuanbao respectfully accepted the jade talisman, his heart filled with gratitude. The Three Pure Ones had indeed been very kind to him, and he would try his best to resolve the conflict between them.
After the Three Pure Ones went into seclusion, Xuanbao pondered alone in the Three Pure Ones Hall. He knew that the situation in the prehistoric world was becoming increasingly complex. Although the war between the Lich King and the Demon King had not yet arrived, the war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans had just ended.
The entire prehistoric world is undergoing a new reshuffle. Although I have a powerful treasure to protect me, I cannot be careless. If I encounter a hidden powerhouse somewhere, I don't know if the reputation of the Three Pure Ones can protect me.
He still has over 600 innate spiritual treasures that he hasn't refined yet. If an ordinary person were to refine them, it would take forever. Fortunately, he possesses treasure energy that can accelerate this process; otherwise, his snowballing speed would be greatly reduced.
However, the Xuanbao, which originally had more than 5000 strands of precious energy, now only has more than 4000 strands left after upgrading the Poyuan Shovel and several uses. This has made the Xuanbao feel heartbroken for a long time, as it represents millions of years of accumulation.
However, Xuanbao was well aware of the principle that you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. So, he endured the pain and released more than 600 strands of precious energy into his inner space, which then merged into more than 600 innate spiritual treasures.
What followed was quite spectacular: over 600 innate spiritual treasures trembled incessantly, as if addicts on drugs were dancing disco on the spot. This continued for more than ten minutes before finally stopping.
For the next 3000 years, Xuanbao spent refining spiritual treasures. It took Xuanbao a full 3000 years to completely refine these more than 600 innate spiritual treasures.
According to statistics, Xuanbao now possesses nine top-grade innate spiritual treasures, 38 high-grade innate spiritual treasures, 130 mid-grade innate spiritual treasures, and 593 low-grade innate spiritual treasures. In total, Xuanbao now has 770 "tools" to help him cultivate.
With so many tools, even a pig could cultivate into a saint. However, with so many tools cultivating, Xuanbao has now comprehended more than 200 laws, among which the sword law, spear law, and the five elements law are the most powerful.
Sword Dao Laws: 55%; Spear Dao Laws: 35%; Five Elements Laws: 35%. There's no way around it; the most common spiritual treasures in the prehistoric world are sword-shaped spiritual treasures. There are more than 100 sword-shaped spiritual treasures among the Xuanbao alone. No matter what type of spiritual treasure you have, comprehending the same Dao Laws will be twice as effective with half the effort.
As for the Law of the Gun, it seems that the Western gods are very fond of guns. With the blessing of two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Law of the Gun has also successfully reached 3%. As for the Law of the Five Elements, there is no need to say more. His own half-body spiritual treasure, the Innate Five Elements Pearl, is one of the spiritual treasures that has been with him the longest. The rest of the laws are between half and two levels.
It's hard to imagine that a Taiyi Golden Immortal has already comprehended more than 200 kinds of laws, and the strongest one has even broken through to the mid-stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal. It's outrageous.
Most importantly, with the blessing of these hundreds of innate spiritual treasures, Xuanbao can condense six strands of precious energy in a year. It can be said that he can take off on the spot, and one year is equivalent to 6000 years.
In the future, I won't be so stingy when using my precious energy. In the primordial world, there's plenty of time. Six strands a year, 6000 strands in 1000 years, which is more than I can gather in countless eons.
Now he has basically used up all the opportunities he gained in Zixiao Palace, which has also led to a qualitative leap in his strength.
As long as he doesn't encounter any powerful beings above the peak of the Great Luo realm, he has the strength to fight them now, and if he's not careful, he might even be able to turn the tables and kill them.
Having sensed the location of the Three Pure Ones' seclusion and their calm demeanor, it's clear they won't be leaving anytime soon. Okay, it's time for my favorite treasure hunt again! Xuanbao remembers very clearly that there are still many opportunities waiting to be discovered on West Kunlun. I've already missed 6000 years, and I wonder how many will be taken by some lucky people. They're all mine.
He left a message telling the Three Pure Ones that he was going out to undergo trials in the prehistoric world, so they didn't need to worry about him... and so on.
After finishing his business, Xuanbao picked up his most beloved Yuan-Breaking Shovel, spread his Holy Light Wings, and flew towards Xikunlun. However, what happened to him next caught Xuanbao off guard.
