Chapter 6

Breakthrough to Taiyi Golden Immortal, Continue the Treasure Hunt

Since time is running out—around 200 years until he and his master go to Zixiao Palace—it seems he needs to speed things up and refine these thirty-odd innate spiritual items first. Xuanbao also feels the time is tight, after all, half of the treasure land in Kunlun Mountain hasn't been explored yet.

Over the course of more than twenty years, Xuanbao successfully refined 35 innate spiritual treasures. In order to speed up the process, Xuanbao even used a few more strands of treasure energy, which made him feel heartbroken for a long time.

There's no way around it; condensing precious energy is just too slow. Without the added benefit of numerous spiritual treasures, it would take 1000 years to condense even a single strand of precious energy.

If the Treasure Basin hadn't started accumulating precious energy from the moment it was conceived, it would have taken countless eons to condense over 5 strands of precious energy—which was all of the Xuanbao's reserves. After more than 1000 years of consumption, it had already used up over 100 strands. In its own transformation over just over 1000 years, it had only condensed one strand of precious energy.

However, in the past 1000 years, I have used more than 100 of them, which is completely insufficient. But now I have 59 innate spiritual treasures and 15 innate spiritual roots, which have successfully shortened the time for me to condense treasure energy by 250 years. Now I only need 750 years to condense one strand of treasure energy. Everything is difficult at the beginning!

However, Xuanbao successfully broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. It wasn't as difficult as he had imagined; it was as simple as a knife piercing through a piece of paper.

Fifty-odd innate saints cultivated for themselves in such a simple and unadorned way, without any challenge. Everyone said that if you can't endure the hardship of cultivation, you have to accept the hardship of reality. But Xuanbao said that he didn't want to endure any hardship. Isn't eating candy better?

However, in just over twenty years, Xuanbao's cultivation level stabilized at the peak of the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Don't ask why he was so fast; just look up the Innate Five Elements Pearl. As soon as he broke through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, Xuanbao directly nurtured the Five Elements Pearl within his five internal organs.

The power of the five elements is directly absorbed by one's own body, which is many times faster than slowly condensing the five elements in one's chest. It's like comparing a rocket to a walking person—there's simply no comparison.

Not only that, his clone also comprehended the great divine power of the Five Elements Escape from the Five Elements Pearl, making it easy for him to use the Five Elements divine power. This gave Xuanbao even more confidence in his upcoming treasure hunt.

Although he is only at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, he is confident that even someone at the peak of Taiyi might not be able to defeat him. He is that confident. If he is really unlucky and encounters a Daluo Golden Immortal, he only needs to shout to the sky for his master to save him!

My life should be fine here on Kunlun Mountain.

After calculating the time, there were still about 180 years until the Three Lectures of Hongjun, so the time left for me to find the treasure was not much.

I should have enough time to fly to West Kunlun to continue my treasure hunt. Even if I don't finish digging, I should be able to finish. I don't think much about Xuanbao and will fly directly to West Kunlun.

They flew for more than three months, and that was after they had broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. If they were still at the Golden Immortal realm, it would probably take them several years to fly across. This gives you an idea of ​​just how vast the prehistoric world is.

This time, Yuanbao did not venture deep into the western Kunlun Mountains, but was located on the outermost edge of the Kunlun Mountains. This area is basically a wild and undeveloped region, so it's best to be cautious as it's impossible to dig for treasure in other people's homes.

Although he wouldn't be in any real danger even if he were caught, Xuanbao didn't want to experience any physical pain, so he decided to start his treasure hunt from the outermost and most remote areas.

It should be right here. The first treasure location within the Xuanbao Sense is under a huge tree right beneath our feet. The tree is hundreds of feet wide and thousands of feet tall.

The lush green leaves covered the entire sky. No matter how many times I've seen it, it still feels magnificent. Just look at how big this tree is!

Xuanbao couldn't help but sigh. The highest place he had ever stood in his previous life was climbing Mount Tai, but compared to the big tree in front of him, it was incomparable.

Finding the right spot, he took out his Xuanbao shovel and began digging at the base of the tree roots. The power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal was far beyond what this tree could withstand; all that could be seen was wood chips flying everywhere.

Within minutes, Xuanbao had already dug into the heart of the tree, successfully breaking through a corner of the innate formation with a shovel, and then easily slipped into the space.

Hmm! The space is quite large. As soon as I arrived at this blessed land, Xuanbao began to use his spiritual sense to probe the reality of this space. Who would have thought that the area of ​​this space was so large, at least a large blessed land, on the same level as his own Treasure Gathering Cave.

Seeing that the cave is so huge, there must be many opportunities hidden inside. It is much better than the Golden Cloud Cave of Jade Cauldron Immortal. A single cave has nurtured a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, Ha Tui. Xuanbao is extremely despised.

If others heard this, they would probably want to kill Xuanbao. You're complaining about a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure? Even ordinary Golden Immortals might not have an innate spiritual treasure to protect them. How are ordinary people like them supposed to deal with this?

Within Xuanbao's perception, this grotto-heaven contained many treasures radiating precious energy, but most of them were gathered in the central area of ​​this blessed land. Without hesitation, Xuanbao picked up a shovel and flew directly towards the core area of ​​the grotto-heaven.

Along the way, Xuanbao saw more than a dozen acquired spiritual roots, including one low-grade innate spiritual root. However, Xuanbao did not intend to stop. The few in the core area that exuded treasure energy were the main attraction. He sped along and arrived at the center of this cave. A hundred-zhang-long pool stood in the center, with a pond of water lilies growing in it. The pool was surrounded by a circle of innate spiritual roots, at least a dozen of them.

Wow! Seeing the scene before him, Xuanbao was incredibly excited. This was a windfall! Each of these innate spiritual roots could support a small sect, and there were over a dozen of them here!

Overcoming her excitement, before Xuanbao could even get close, the delicate fragrance made her feel as if she had received a massage. She let down her guard and felt refreshed. She hadn't expected the water lily to have such effects, and Xuanbao had always been a flower lover.

Seeing the pond full of water lilies, Xuanbao admired them for a while. He calmed down and realized that he could appreciate them anytime, but he was pressed for time now. Moreover, this pond of water lilies was definitely not ordinary; it must be at least a mid-grade innate spiritual root. Otherwise, the fragrance alone would not have affected him, a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

After investigating, Xuanbao was overjoyed. He wouldn't trade any mid-grade innate spiritual root for a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Why was Xuanbao so happy? Of course, it was because this pond and the water lilies were simply too heaven-defying. No, to be precise, the pond and the water lilies were both heaven-defying.

This pond and the water lilies have a symbiotic relationship. This pond is called the Sacred Pond, and the water lilies in it are also called Sacred Lotuses. Don't be fooled by the common names; in the primordial world, if a name can be preceded by the word "sacred," it must have something extraordinary about it.

The Sacred Pool is somewhat similar to the Western Eight Treasures Merit Pool, but the two have different focuses. The Eight Treasures Merit Pool mainly nourishes the Dharma treasures, while the Sacred Pool mainly focuses on healing.

In particular, injuries to the soul can be healed with just a few drops of holy water. And the holy lotus in the pool is even more abnormal. Even if you die, as long as your soul is not dead, you can be resurrected on the spot with the help of the holy pool. It's that abnormal.

At this moment, Xuanbao looked at the pond full of water lilies, his eyes shining. These were all lives, and each water lily would only bloom once every thousand years.

Moreover, unlike other spiritual roots that bloom dozens of flowers at a time, the Sacred Lotus has no limit; it just takes 1000 years to nurture one flower. At this moment, there are 3000 Sacred Lotuses in the Sacred Pool, and he suddenly has 3000 resurrection coins. Xuanbao feels like he is Pangu's favorite son, having seen such a heaven-defying treasure.

However, this blessed land was never heard of in later generations. It's possible that before it could even be born, the primordial world was destroyed, and this blessed land was probably destroyed along with it, so it was never heard of.

It's impossible to finish digging it all out. I'd be lucky if I could finish digging out this blessed land within the next 180 years. The other treasures of Xikunlun will have to wait until later.
