Chapter 2

: He encountered a powerful patron right after his birth.

It has been 100 years since Xuanbao last said he was going to the prehistoric world. The reason why he has not left Jubao Cave after 100 years is that...

That's because Xuanbao still felt it wasn't safe enough. Right now, before the great war between the Primordial Witch and the Demon, while the Primordial World wasn't exactly a place where Great Luo Immortals were inferior to Golden Immortals, it was still quite good.

Putting aside everything else, just the fact that Hongjun was giving a sermon drew 3000 Great Luo Golden Immortals. As someone who is only at the Golden Immortal level, I can't be too careful.

Moreover, Xuanbao has not stood still in these 100 years. He has successfully reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, thanks to the tireless cultivation of 21 assistants.

The advancement in cultivation level was like a rocket launch. The biggest changes were to the 21 innate spiritual treasures. Except for the Kunwu Sword, which was not completely changed, all the other spiritual treasures had been completely refined. (The Kunwu Sword is a high-grade innate spiritual treasure with 35 innate restrictions. A Golden Immortal can refine up to 24 of them.)

With so many magical treasures protecting him, he is invincible in the Golden Immortal realm and can escape from the clutches of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. As for a Daluo, he can just lie down and wait to die.

Take out a stone tablet with the four characters "Jubao Cave Heaven" carved on it. This is the key to enter Jubao Cave Heaven and also the key to control the Jubao Cave Heaven formation. Jubao Cave Heaven is a top-grade blessed land.

The defensive magic is also very powerful. The Nine-Nine Chaos Array, as a Chaos-level array, has nine characteristics: defense, suppression, killing, sealing, gathering, illusion, concealment, trapping, and shielding. Non-saints simply cannot find the treasure cave. Even if some people encounter it, the array can block ordinary quasi-saints.

He channeled a wisp of magic power into the stone tablet, and felt a crack open in the array above his head, from which a beam of golden light emerged.

Upon entering the primordial world, Xuanbao felt its vastness and immensity, which was incomparable to the Treasure Gathering Cave. Although a single Treasure Gathering Cave was comparable to the size of an entire solar system in later generations, it was but a drop in the ocean compared to the primordial world.

The only difference is the concentration of spiritual energy. The concentration of spiritual energy in the primordial world is about 10% of that in the Treasure Gathering Cave. Otherwise, those innate great powers would all seek out blessed lands and grottoes, or at the very least, they would open up a Daoist temple.

I am currently at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and it won't be long before I break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. The Taiyi Golden Immortal realm emphasizes accumulation, especially the condensation of the five elements in the chest: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, I am not worried about this Xuanbao.

He possesses the Innate Five Elements Pearl, which can continuously replenish his spiritual energy of the five elements. Therefore, once he breaks through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he will enter a period of explosive growth. This is also why Xuanbao, at the Golden Immortal realm, dares to come out to search for treasures.

He took out the mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Breaking Yuan Shovel. This spiritual treasure was one of Xuanbao's favorite spiritual treasures, even though it was only a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

However, it is very useful for Xuanbao, who loves treasure hunting. One shovel can dig up a mountain, and it can also break through formations and even dig through innate formations.

It is truly an essential item for grave robbing and treasure hunting. Combined with the characteristics of Xuanbao, it can be said that 1+1 is greater than 2.

Xuanbao sensed his surroundings and found that the area within a radius of ten thousand miles appeared somewhat desolate. The entire prehistoric world had just experienced a great war between the three races, and although the calamity energy of heaven and earth had dissipated in the past ten thousand years.

However, the countless beings who perished in the war between the three races have no chance of reincarnation since the primordial tunnels have not yet awakened. These dead souls wander the primordial world.

Some powerful souls can still maintain their rationality, but the vast majority are fighting and devouring each other. Some, due to their countless sins in life, have an even more overwhelming aura of malevolence.

Xuanbao sensed an evil aura about 1000 miles to his south, which was rapidly approaching him.

Hmm! The demon soul at the Profound Immortal Realm sensed it approaching. It was just a demon soul at the Profound Immortal Realm, so Xuan Bao relaxed. A mere Profound Immortal? How laughable! This Daoist only needed to make a slight move to annihilate it completely.

The Daoist took out the Qingfeng Sword, a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure. Little Xuanxian didn't need it at all. The Daoist took out his most treasured possession. Just as Xuanbao was fantasizing about how he would demonstrate his power,

Roar... Roar.

A blood-red, lion-like demonic soul, but the size of a small mountain, still startled Xuanbao. Could his family imagine what it would feel like to have a skyscraper crashing down on him?

Although Xuanbao's realm had reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, his knowledge was still that of an ordinary person. Seeing the scene before him, Xuanbao had long forgotten that he had been fantasizing about how he could kill his opponent without leaving a trace with just a slight move.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Xuanbao scratched his nose, composed himself, and his gaze became firm, his demeanor shifting from nonchalant to sharp.

"King's Treasure" Xuanbao raised his hands, and behind him, portals appeared one after another. Xuanbao's twenty-odd spiritual treasures, like butterflies flitting among flowers, rushed out of the space and rushed towards the blood-red demon soul! Hehe (Piracy makes me happy O(∩_∩)O).

Seeing over twenty attacks radiating the power of innate spiritual treasures flying towards it, the blood-red demon soul, whose mind had been in a state of chaos, regained its intelligence. It slammed on the brakes and burrowed its head into the ground like an ostrich trying to escape its predator.

However, it was precisely because of his dodge that the attack, which was originally aimed at his face, successfully avoided his head and hit his upturned buttocks instead.

However, he didn't feel good at all. His entire buttocks evaporated, spraying out all sorts of red, green, and blue things. It was unclear what he had eaten. He looked ridiculous, but also disgusting. He collapsed to the ground, letting out a pitiful wail.

It was as if Xuanbao had done something utterly despicable to him.

Seeing the scene before him, Xuanbao felt slightly speechless.

To avoid seeing those horrible scenes again, he used Gate of Babylon once more, and the Crimson Soul instantly evaporated.

Just after slaying the blood-red demon soul, Xuanbao felt a ray of golden light gathering behind his head. After sensing it for a moment, Xuanbao knew that this was the all-purpose Heavenly Dao Merit.

The reason is that this demonic soul committed countless evils and had immense karma. I killed it, and this is the reward given by Heaven.

Seeing that killing these monstrous demons at night could bring heavenly merit, he figured that if he killed enough, his merit would increase even more.

Thinking that he would have nine golden wheels of merit above his head in the future, making him a true chosen one of Heaven, and even saints would not dare to do anything to him, just as Xuanbao was still considering whether to become a saint of merit or follow the righteous path of law.

Unbeknownst to him, thousands of miles behind him in the clouds, a young Taoist priest had witnessed the entire scene of how he had just annihilated the blood-red demon soul.

The young Taoist priest made some calculations with his two fingers, then looked at Xuanbao with shining eyes.

"A rough gem, a rough gem indeed!"

"A supreme innate spiritual treasure in human form should become my eldest disciple under the Three Pure Ones. Only someone with such aptitude can inherit my mantle."

That's right, the young Taoist priest who was spying from the sky was Tongtian Jiaozhu, one of the Three Pure Ones. Of course, Tongtian had not yet established the Jie Sect, so he could not be called the leader yet.

But now he is a true quasi-saint, one of the most powerful figures in the prehistoric world.

Just as Xuanbao was still lost in his fantasies, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him from behind. Xuanbao trusted his intuition and, without turning around, launched a strike at the Gate of Babylon behind him.

Tongtian, who had just arrived behind Xuanbao, was hit by the King's Treasure technique. After feeling the power of this divine ability, Tongtian was not surprised but happy.

"You little brat, you do have some skill, don't you? You've reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. This technique could easily kill an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, it's still too rudimentary. It might be enough to deal with those weaker than yourself, but if your opponent is equal to or stronger than you, your attacks will be completely powerless. How many times can you control so many innate spiritual treasures? What will you do when your magic power is exhausted?"

Xuanbao, who had just recovered his senses, saw a young Taoist priest in front of him who had blocked all of his attacks with one hand and was lecturing him without changing his expression.

?

The young Taoist's figure was as upright as a peerless immortal sword about to be drawn from its sheath. His eyes held a hint of unruliness and sharpness, and his strength was at least that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Who else in the entire prehistoric world could be like him? The name of a great god emerged in Xuanbao's mind.

"The Master of Heaven"—what incredible luck! He's been born into such a powerful family.
