Chapter 10
: The Treasure Distribution at Buzhou Mountain, Jin Xuan Encounters Many Treasures
Within the restricted area, the Daoist energy flowed.
There was a ten-foot-long green vine, wrapped around the mountain wall. It was the Primordial Gourd Vine, a top-grade innate spiritual root, and was known as one of the ten top-grade innate spiritual roots in the primordial world.
Seven gourds of different colors grew on the green vine.
Six of them are already close to maturity, while only one is still very immature.
Furthermore, the soil that nurtured the innate gourd vine was none other than the rare divine soil of the primordial wilderness.
The eyes of the powerful figures shone brightly.
The Blood Sea Styx Ancestor's eyes were gloomy. He didn't say a word, but with a single sword strike, a ten-thousand-foot-long blood-red light seemed to want to split the heavens and the earth, intending to break the innate restriction that covered the gourd vine.
However, Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Dijun, Taiyi and other innate deities intervened to block the attack. The five top innate deities easily neutralized the move.
The fact that the five powerful figures acted simultaneously to stop the Styx River truly surprised many people.
"This treasure is rare; the last gourd has not yet fully matured. You fool, you actually tried to break the seal prematurely. Such an action may result in this gourd being inherently incomplete."
Taiyi glanced coldly at Styx, then looked around at everyone, saying, "If anyone dares to make a move again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Upon hearing this, Styx's throat bobbed, but he remained silent.
Laozi stroked his beard and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Taiyi is absolutely right. In my opinion, this restriction will not break automatically for at most a hundred years. Fellow Daoists, you may wish to wait a while."
"Spiritual treasures possess spirits and choose their own masters. Whose destiny holds such a treasure? No one can say for sure. Let us remain calm and wait for their spiritual roots to fully mature, then let them choose their own owners."
Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded in agreement.
The Eastern King also advocated this method. The Dao Ancestor had recently bestowed upon him the title of the head of the male immortals, and he could not bear to see chaos appear before his eyes.
He felt even more strongly that his luck and opportunities were extraordinary, and that he should have one of these many spiritual treasures.
Seeing this, all the primordial deities sat cross-legged.
Several powerful beings who had planned to seize the treasure directly abandoned their idea when they saw that the Three Pure Ones and the two Golden Crows had reached an agreement.
To seize a treasure right under the noses of five top-tier innate saints, one must carefully consider whether they possess the necessary strength.
Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.
Ultimately, the seventh gourd also failed to mature.
The innate gourd vine vanished in the blink of an eye, transforming into several streams of light that flew in all directions.
"Haha! This humble Taoist actually has a gourd!" The old ancestor Hongyun was overjoyed when he saw a gourd fall into his arms.
The remaining gourds fell into the hands of the Three Pure Ones, Taiyi, and Nuwa, respectively.
Laozi obtained a purple-gold gourd, Yuanshi obtained a green gourd, Tongtian obtained a cyan gourd, and Taiyi and Nuwa obtained a white-skinned gourd and a gold-skinned gourd, respectively.
Furthermore, the innate gourd vine and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil also voluntarily surrendered to Nuwa.
Of the seven gourds, only the blue gourd remained, incomplete from birth and lacking spiritual light, and stayed in its original place.
In the blink of an eye, several precious treasures found their owners, and those who did not obtain them sighed that they were not destined to have them.
The Eastern King's face was extremely gloomy. The head of the male immortals had no chance at all.
Without uttering a word, it vanished as a streak of light.
Before the bustling barrier, only the Three Pure Ones and the incomplete blue gourd remained.
Tongtian reached out and grabbed the treasure, saying, "Unfortunately, the innate gourd vine, which nurtured several precious treasures, exhausted its life force, leaving this treasure incomplete from its innate state. If it could have been nurtured for a longer period, it would surely have become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."
After speaking, he put the blue gourd into his sleeve.
Perhaps this treasure has a chance to survive and be fully developed in the future.
Yuan Shi frowned slightly, opened his mouth as if to speak, but then closed it again.
Laozi nodded and looked in a certain direction of Buzhou Mountain, saying, "Yuanshi, Tongtian, our opportunity is not yet over, let's head east."
Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded, and the Three Pure Ones transformed into a beam of light and vanished in an instant.
……
If we go back a hundred years, after Jin Xuan left that small grotto-heaven, he dared not linger and wanted to head east.
Halfway there, they suddenly heard a series of booming sounds coming from the distant horizon. The power fluctuations of a Golden Immortal at the peak of his level were mixed with roars and howls.
Upon seeing this, Jin Xuan concealed his aura and spotted a streak of dark yellow light frantically fleeing from afar.
A dark cloud, carrying the force of wind and thunder, was closely following behind it.
It was a black Qilin, its entire body as black as ink, covered in black scales, with a single horn on its head and wind and thunder coiled around its four hooves.
The black Qilin's eyes widened in fury, spewing black lightning and fire, relentlessly bombarding the Xuanhuang escape light in front of it.
"The Qilin Clan! The Black Qilin!" Jin Xuan exclaimed in surprise, wondering if they had arrived near the ancestral land of the Qilin Clan.
The Qilin clan was one of the three overlords of the prehistoric world during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, leading all kinds of beasts and tribes, with the area near Buzhou Mountain as their ancestral home.
After the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, the three clans retreated to their ancestral lands. The ancestral land of the Qilin clan was the most hidden, its location unknown.
"Who messed with this local tyrant?"
Jin Xuan knew that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Although the Qilin clan has retreated to their ancestral land, they are not people that ordinary beings can easily mess with.
Within the Qilin clan, there are likely still powerful beings at the level of Primordial Golden Immortal.
He activated his Treasure-Seeking Eyes, his eyes gleaming with golden light. Within the mysterious yellow light, he saw a rat radiating golden light.
Moreover, the rat was filled with a rich aura of preciousness.
This precious energy does not come from the rat itself, but from the rat itself.
It is quite similar to his innate Daoist body, the Golden Toad with Many Treasures.
"This guy is Daoist Duobao!? The future chief disciple of the Jie Sect?" Jin Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
Like him, the Treasure Rat is a primordial beast, and there is only one in the entire primordial world, without a doubt.
Jin Xuan didn't want to cause trouble, especially now that the lecture at Zixiao Palace had just ended and undercurrents were surging in the primordial world. He just wanted to make his fortune quietly and cultivate in peace.
Jin Xuan simply used his supernatural powers to hide in the mountain wall.
Although Daoist Duobao appears to be facing numerous crises, he is actually safe and sound.
But how could Daoist Duobao know this?
However, the Daoist Duobao, who was in the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm, dodged left and right, and occasionally used some talismans and one-time spiritual treasures to resist the Mo Qilin.
Although they were in a sorry state, their lives were not in danger.
The next moment, Duobao found nothing on his person.
Seeing this opportunity, the black Qilin transformed the black lightning and fire in its mouth into several black spheres the size of human heads, which instantly spewed out and slammed into Duobao.
The protective barrier around Duobao was shattered instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he was covered in blood and his aura weakened.
Just as Duobao was thinking that his life was about to end, he suddenly sensed an aura nearby that was somewhat similar to his own.
He said to a certain place, "Fellow Daoist in the mountain wall ahead, I am Daoist Duobao. I beg you to lend a helping hand and get rid of this wicked beast."
"I have found a precious treasure. If you can save me, I am willing to offer it to you."
As they spoke, they saw Daoist Duobao holding a ball of earthy yellow light in his hand.
Its precious light could not be suppressed and burst forth.
Upon hearing this, Jin Xuan initially intended to flee and ignore the matter.
If you kill this black Qilin, you will have divine protection, but I will have no one to protect me.
It was clear that the item in Duobao Daoren's hand was rich in precious energy, no less than a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, so Jin Xuan changed his mind.
At the same time, the black Qilin's divine sense swept towards Jin Xuan. Enraged, it spewed out thunder and fire from its mouth without saying a word, and a thousand-foot-long pillar of fire instantly leveled the place where Jin Xuan was hiding.
