Chapter 8
Soaring Net Worth
Xuanbao reached out and used the laws of swordsmanship to kill the soul inside the golden cocoon. Just as the golden cocoon was killed by Xuanbao, a ball of karma descended upon Xuanbao.
The wisp of merit behind his head had vanished, and he was still burdened with karma. However, Xuanbao did not regret it. Moreover, this karma was not much, and it was nothing to Xuanbao. His dark purple luck was not affected by this karma at all.
It is also possible that this unknown innate deity has only just developed its divine consciousness and has little influence on future generations, so its karma is not much, even if it was God it just killed.
In other parts of the world, middle emperors and lower emperors will also emerge. Eventually, things will return to normal. In the primordial world, minor matters can be changed, but the general trend cannot be reversed.
However, what happened next stunned Xuanbao. Although the innate saint had been killed, his companion spirit treasures were still there, a total of three.
One top-grade and two high-grade innate spiritual treasures—this is almost comparable to the Styx Ancestor's entire fortune. The top-grade innate spiritual treasure is the Holy Light Sword, the high-grade innate spiritual treasure is the Holy Light Wings, and the high-grade innate spiritual treasure is the Holy Light Whip. I saw the names of three innate spiritual treasures.
Xuanbao fell silent. Uh, did he just kill God? Cough cough, so be it. Seeing the several spiritual treasures in his hand, Xuanbao didn't take God to heart. If he could get so many spiritual treasures every time he killed God, he might as well kill him a few more times.
Even with the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Holy Light Sword, Xuanbao still liked it. Although the Holy Light Sword was only a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, its power against evil spirits was no less than that of an innate supreme treasure.
Moreover, it has a very high aesthetic appeal. The golden and glittering Xuanbao feels very suitable for me. The other top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Holy Light Wings, is a pair of wings and a flying magic weapon. After being fully refined, it can fly 24 miles in a single breath when used at full power, which is much faster than the legendary Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique of 18 miles.
With these wings, he could truly attack or defend. However, he wasn't particularly interested in the other superior innate spiritual treasure, the Holy Light Whip, as using a whip was indeed a rare skill in the prehistoric world.
After searching the cave for a while, Xuanbao found only a few pieces of innate Gengjin. Confirming nothing was missing, he finally left the innate grand formation. Xuanbao didn't refine the newly acquired innate spiritual treasure. No, he didn't want to refine it; rather, his time was indeed running out. There were still over 130 years until Hongjun's three lectures.
There are still many places in this mysterious cave that haven't been explored. You have to understand that it took me a full 1000 years to completely search my own treasure cave. Although I was only a Golden Immortal at that time, and I am now a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it still took me more than 100 years to search it all.
Without a moment to think, Xuanbao, shovel in hand, embarked on his treasure hunt once more. The entire cave was like a swarm of locusts, and Xuanbao never stopped. He would simply collect any treasure he sensed and leave. It took a full 100 years for Xuanbao to finally cease his plundering of the cave.
The cave was already badly damaged, riddled with holes as if it had just been plowed by missiles, and the spiritual energy within it had decreased several times over. However, Xuanbao was grinning from ear to ear.
There's no way around it, anyone who gets a windfall will be happy. In these 100 years, Xuanbao has experienced both pain and joy. He has reaped a great harvest in these 100 years, and he has collected enough innate treasures to fill several small mountains.
They also obtained 7 more innate spiritual roots. Although the grades were not very high, with only one being a mid-grade innate spiritual root and the rest being low-grade, they still acquired a total of 27 spiritual treasures.
Among them are two top-grade innate spiritual treasures: the Eternal Spear and the Lightning Spear. There are also a total of eight high-grade innate spiritual treasures, such as Thor's Hammer, Poseidon's Trident, Double-pronged Fork, Sword of Victory, Golden Bow, Shield of Dawn, and so on.
These were all divine artifacts of the Western gods, and Xuanbao had taken them all away in one go. This must be a special favor from Heaven; a blessed land like this had actually nurtured so many innate spiritual treasures, and all of them were of very high quality. Although his own Jubao Cave was also a large blessed land, it paled in comparison to this place.
Xuanbao not only took away the magic treasures, but also took away all the innate deities that had been nurtured in the space in the early stages, a total of 18. Moreover, these 18 people have not yet developed intelligence, which is exactly the kind of tool Xuanbao needs.
Although bringing them out ahead of time will definitely affect their growth, those who could have grown into high-grade innate gods and demons may now only grow into mid-grade innate gods and demons at most, so what? Xuanbao doesn't care. Moreover, because he brought them out ahead of time, their fate has also changed. They certainly won't become the main gods of the Western pantheon as they were destined to be.
Xuanbao felt it was very likely that the Western God would be reborn, but the upper limit was hard to say. Moreover, all their future artifacts would be in his hands. Just thinking about a low-grade innate god holding a low-grade innate spiritual treasure and calling himself God made Xuanbao want to laugh. A tiny ant dared to call himself an emperor, and then he was slapped to death. Hehehe...
Xuanbao picked up the Eternal Spear and the Lightning Spear, two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and was very satisfied.
These are the weapons that best suit him. Xuanbao dislikes wielding swords and slashing at each other, as that would lower his status. He prefers to either engage in melee combat or play as an ADC on the sidelines. The Eternal Spear and the Lightning Spear are the most suitable weapons for him.
The Eternal Spear and the Lightning Spear are similar to causal weapons; they are 100% accurate when thrown and then quickly return to their owner's hand, somewhat similar to Lu Ya's Immortal-Slaying Gourd.
The thought of having holy wings and flying through the sky, untouchable, while attacking others at will, is disgusting. But, just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly powerful.
However, he doesn't have time to digest the spoils of this treasure hunt right now. The Three Lectures of Hongjun will begin in twenty or thirty years, and he needs to rush to Dongkunlun first to wait for his master and senior uncles to emerge from seclusion.
Xuanbao looked at the 18 giant cocoons lying on the ground. At this point, they could only be considered embryos, as they had not yet developed any consciousness. However, given their potential, these 18 innate saints could at least grow into quasi-saints.
However, for his future core team, loyalty is of course more important than strength. If they lack strength, he can invest resources to improve them. As for disloyalty, Xuanbao will let them experience what it means to wish they were dead. He set up a spirit-gathering array on each of the 18 giant cocoons, and checked to make sure nothing was missed before stepping out of the blessed land behind him. As soon as Xuanbao stepped out of the blessed land behind him, he disappeared instantly.
? ?
"Heaven is really unreliable. It just did a quick search and it moved all the blessed lands and grotto-heavens," Xuanbao muttered, rolling his eyes in annoyance.
If Hongjun Daozu had already merged with the Dao, Xuanbao would definitely have been subjected to a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder package. He's shameless to the extreme. Was it just a casual search? No, not a single hair was left behind.
Sigh, this treasure hunt has come to an end. Looking at West Kunlun, there are still more than a dozen places where treasures are hidden. Xuanbao feels extremely heartbroken. What he didn't get is never truly his. If someone else had taken it along the way, he would have been even more heartbroken.
Unfortunately, he really didn't have time now. He could only listen to Hongjun's three lectures and then hurry up and dig out his treasures. With a flash, he began to fly at high speed in the East Kunlun Mountains.
