Chapter 7

: Stealing the House of the Western Gods

Having obtained such a precious treasure, Xuanbao was already quite excited. However, the subsequent sorting process brought him many surprises, including 18 innate spiritual roots surrounding the sacred pool.

Among them, there is one top-grade innate spiritual root, one high-grade innate spiritual root, four mid-grade innate spiritual roots, and the rest are low-grade innate spiritual roots.

The top-grade innate spiritual root is the World Tree; the superior-grade innate spiritual root is the Golden Apple; the mid-grade innate spiritual root is the Youth Apple; the mid-grade innate spiritual root is the Unfettered Jujube (Forget-Me-Not Fruit); the mid-grade innate spiritual root is the Golden Sunlight; the mid-grade innate spiritual root is the Innate Pomegranate Tree; and the remaining inferior innate spiritual roots were simply ignored by Xuanbao.

Although top-grade innate spirits and the World Tree cannot bear fruit, their abilities are still extremely powerful. The World Tree possesses nine independent spaces, all of which are at the level of minor worlds, and these minor worlds can continue to advance.

The Golden Apple, a top-grade innate spiritual root, bears 36 fruits every 1 years. Eating it can gather the power of the metal element, making it a very good spiritual root, similar to my own peach, which gathers the power of the water element.

The mid-grade innate spiritual root, the Youth Apple, also produces a batch of 36 fruits every ten thousand years. Each Youth Apple can add 1 years to one's lifespan, and 36 Youth Apples can add 36 years to one's lifespan.

The Luotuozao tree has a rather special innate spiritual root. Each batch of fruit contains 108 fruits, and eating them allows one to cultivate in a dream. One fruit can enable one to cultivate for 1 years, which is only a moment in the outside world. If that person in the West knew about this, he would probably try to snatch it away. This is similar to his dream-based path to enlightenment.

The remaining mid-grade innate spiritual roots are nothing special; they only increase one's magical power after consumption.

Seeing that there were more than a dozen more innate spiritual roots, he realized that he now possessed more than 30 innate spiritual roots. He thought to himself that even the Heavenly Court only used a single top-grade innate spiritual root, the Peach Tree, to maintain appearances.

Having over 30 plants myself, I realize there's no harm in comparing them; "I really am God's favorite."

However, these spiritual root names seemed familiar, but Xuanbao couldn't quite place them. He ignored them and instead pondered the harvest. "So many spiritual roots have never appeared in later generations. Something must have happened."

It's highly likely that the primordial world was shattered during the Investiture of the Gods period, and this blessed land has vanished or disappeared. If this blessed land were to reappear, the primordial world would surely descend into chaos, and all the great gods would fight tooth and nail. But this is a boon for me, hehehe *^O^* Xuanbao chuckled to himself.

Xuanbao planned to pack this entire area of ​​ten thousand miles into his Chaos Gourd. There was no other way; even the soil within this area was Breath Soil, a supreme earth-shaped treasure second only to the Breath Soil of the Nine Heavens.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to support so many innate spiritual roots. Also, Xuanbao was afraid of damaging the sacred pool, so he simply moved the entire area within a radius of ten thousand miles away.

Xuanbao slapped the ground with both hands, and the magical power within his body surged out like a flood, spreading outwards until it encompassed the entire area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. Then it spread underground for tens of thousands of miles before he could feel the roots of the World Tree. It truly lived up to its reputation as a top-grade innate spiritual root, with roots extending tens of thousands of miles deep. If he hadn't been afraid of harming the World Tree, Xuanbao would have directly used the Chaos Gourd to collect it.

After much effort, the land within a radius of ten thousand miles was successfully collected into the Chaos Gourd. After thinking for a moment, Xuanbao also transplanted his original dozen or so innate spiritual roots back onto the Breath Soil. Although the Breath Soil only covered a radius of ten thousand miles, it still seemed very spacious with thirty or so innate spiritual roots planted on it. Innate spiritual roots can grow large or small.

Otherwise, with the World Tree's main body supporting the size of nine worlds, there wouldn't even be enough for a single root within a radius of ten thousand miles. It truly lives up to its reputation as an innate spiritual root, capable of both large and small sizes—truly amazing. Fearing that the transplanted roots might be damaged, Xuanbao also took some holy water from the sacred pool and watered the roots of each innate spiritual root. Some of the originally withered spiritual roots instantly became lush and green after being treated with the holy water, radiating the aura of life.

However, while watering the World Tree, Xuanbao discovered that a life was being conceived at the roots of the World Tree. It was probably still in the early stages of gestation. It was a large black cocoon. After some investigation, Xuanbao's expression became interesting because he discovered that the creature being conceived was actually a dragon. However, it was not the dragon of the Eastern Continent, but the giant dragon of the Western world in later generations, the kind of giant dragon with fleshy wings and four legs.

A giant black dragon lives at the roots of the World Tree? Isn't that a Western myth?

Thinking about the names of these spiritual roots, aren't they all magical fruits from Western mythology? Could this blessed land be the location of the Western gods in later generations? Xuanbao was very surprised that he had dug up something extraordinary while digging for treasure.

However, there are many treasures in Western mythology. Judging from the fact that this black dragon has not yet shown any intelligence, it is probably still a long way from being born. I'm just going to raid its base.

Moreover, I am probably the only one who can act in this entire blessed land right now. Why can't I just plunder this blessed land and leave not a single hair for the Western gods?

Hmm, wait, will there be more in the future? Even those gods are uncertain. Since this black dragon has already been conceived, the other gods should have been conceived as well, just not yet born. It seems I'll have no choice but to ruthlessly destroy them. Hehehe…

Looking at the little black dragon, Xuanbao, the Nidhogg of later generations, did not intend to kill it directly. He only needed to plant his mark in the black dragon's consciousness, which was very simple for a black dragon that had not yet developed its own consciousness. Moreover, the little black dragon did look quite majestic.

Xuanbao planned to use it as his mount. Having a primordial deity as his mount would certainly be a great honor, and one should always maintain a certain image when traveling.

With a flash, Xuanbao returned to the blessed land. He ignored the enormous pit that stretched for tens of thousands of miles in front of him, as he needed to verify whether this was the location of the Western gods of later generations.

He sensed the nearest place containing treasure, which was only a few hundred thousand miles away. For Xuanbao, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it would only take a few quarters of an hour to reach it. Time passed quickly, and Xuanbao sensed that there was indeed an innate formation in front of him, and it was of a very high grade. Even an ordinary Quasi-Saint might not be able to detect this formation. However, he did not know the authority of GPS navigation.

In Xuanbao's eyes, no treasure could escape his notice. He picked up the Yuan-Breaking Shovel and dug furiously. The array was indeed of a very high grade. Xuanbao found that the Yuan-Breaking Shovel could not even dig through this innate array.

Just as Xuanbao was engrossed in his work, a warning came from the Heavenly Dao in his mind, indicating that the thing inside the formation was not yet ready to be born. However, the intensity of the warning was not high. Xuanbao thought about it and realized that Hongjun had not yet merged with the Dao, and the Heavenly Dao was still an artificially incompetent person.

No wonder the Breaking Yuan Shovel couldn't break this restriction; it turns out it was blessed by the Heavenly Dao. However, Xuanbao didn't take the Heavenly Dao's warning to heart. If it were Hongjun in later generations who had merged with the Dao, he would have turned around and left. Right now, he still has a lot of room to maneuver.

Moreover, the cultivation of cultivators is inherently about competing with heaven, earth, and man. When an opportunity is right in front of them, they are not so noble as to simply refuse it. Xuanbao's personality is such that no matter if there are dates on the tree, he will still climb up and swing a stick at it.

"You think you can just refuse me like that? That would be incredibly humiliating!" Xuanbao, in a fit of rage, unleashed 500 strands of magical energy, channeling them into the Breaking Yuan Shovel. The shovel was enveloped in golden light, its grade rapidly increasing. In no time, the Breaking Yuan Shovel, originally a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure with only 24 innate restrictions, quickly increased its innate restrictions to 25, successfully breaking through to become a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Because the prohibition is the enhancement of the treasure's energy, the prohibition is also directly open to the treasure, and it is directly and completely refined into a brand new high-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Breaking Yuan Shovel.

I refused to believe I couldn't break through you. Wielding the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Yuan-breaking shovel, I buried myself in hard work again. I dug for more than a year before I heard the sound of breaking. My Xuanbao, whose arms had gone numb from waving, instantly flashed into the suppression magic.

Upon arriving in this independent space, Xuanbao felt as if he had been hit by a flashbang. It was incredibly bright, with golden light shimmering throughout the space. It took Xuanbao a long time to adjust, and all he could see was golden light shimmering throughout the space, filled with holy light.

Don't ask why. Xuanbao knows what holy light is. This is the information that naturally came to Xuanbao's mind when he first saw these "holy lights". The holy light is very gentle. Being bathed in the holy light is like being in the arms of a mother.

Looking at the center of the space, there was a golden tree with dozens of golden fruits on it. The holy light in the space was emanating from this tree. After sensing it, it was a top-grade innate spiritual root, the Holy Light Fruit Tree. Moreover, eating the Holy Light Fruit had a very strong effect.

The Holy Light Fruit can add a layer of holy light attribute to one's own magic power, which will double the damage to evil spirits. It is indeed a good spiritual root, and it will be very prestigious to plant it in one's own dojo in the future.

However, this tree was not all the treasures he could sense in this small space. The vast majority of the treasure energy came from the deepest part of the space. He put away the Holy Light Tree and went directly to a cave deep in the space. Xuanbao walked in without thinking. The cave was not very big, mainly because there was a stone platform in the middle of the cave.

At this moment, a giant cocoon on the stone platform was emitting a golden light, and its pounding heartbeat was extremely jarring. However, the golden cocoon seemed to detect the intruder and began to tremble, whether out of fear or pleading, it was unclear.

"Hmm! It already possesses divine consciousness." Upon seeing that this giant cocoon already possessed divine consciousness, Xuanbao immediately felt murderous intent. "Cough cough, this child must not be allowed to live." Originally, Xuanbao wanted to take in the innate saints in this space as his subordinates.

However, those with intelligence are not included. Having intelligence means having thoughts, and having thoughts does not necessarily mean being 100% loyal. However, in Xuanbao's case, not being absolutely loyal is equivalent to being absolutely disloyal.

The divine consciousness has not yet been formed, but it can be cultivated slowly. Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
