Chapter 12
The Creation of the Azure Lotus, Encountering the Three Pure Ones
Upon hearing this, Jin Xuan's heart was stirred.
A spiritual object surpassing even the highest-grade innate level!?
The temptation... is undeniably great.
He was aware of Duobao Daoren's talent for treasure hunting.
Since he said so, it's probably true.
Go another 30,000 li to the east, and you'll be on the edge of Buzhou Mountain.
Now that the sermon at Zixiao Palace has ended, all the innate deities have returned to the primordial world.
Furthermore, over the past three thousand years, many new Great Luo Golden Immortals have likely emerged in the primordial world.
Going to retrieve the treasure would likely be dangerous.
The primordial world is rife with karmic connections and crises; therefore, prudence is the best course of action.
Even the finest treasures are only worth enjoying if you are alive.
However, a thought suddenly popped into Jin Xuan's mind, and he turned to look at Duobao, asking, "Fellow Daoist Duobao, do you have a master?"
If Duobao had already become Tongtian's disciple, there would have been no problem before.
Shangqing Tongtian was transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu and is one of the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain.
Although I have not yet become a saint, this title, given by Tongtian's name, should ensure my safety.
Duobao was taken aback, not knowing how the topic had turned to this, and shook his head, saying, "This humble Taoist has no master, I am just a rogue cultivator."
"In other words, even if Duobao fails to obtain the treasure this time, he won't die. After all, Duobao is the future chief disciple of the Jie Sect. If he dies today, how can there be any Duobao of the Jie Sect in the future?"
Even Duobao Daoist couldn't die, so my strength, luck, and background are now far superior to Duobao's. How could I possibly lose my life? At most, I'll just have to escape.
Jin Xuan pondered for a moment, then finally made his decision and said to Duobao, "In that case, this humble Daoist will accompany you on this journey."
"Good! Fellow Daoist, follow me!" Seeing Jin Xuan agree, Duo Bao was overjoyed and immediately led the way eastward.
During the journey, Jin Xuan and Duo Bao made a three-point agreement.
Treasure hunting requires teamwork; one must not scheme against another.
If faced with unavoidable danger, self-preservation is the priority.
As for the proceeds, they shall be distributed according to the prior agreement.
Thirty thousand miles is not a long distance for Golden Immortals like them.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two had already arrived at the place they had mentioned.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the place!"
Duobao pointed ahead, where there was only a sheer cliff, with ancient pines and cypresses growing on it.
Duobao didn't waste any words. He took out thirty-six array flags from his body, all of which were mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures, but there were already twenty-four restrictions on them, which were faintly close to the high-grade acquired spiritual treasures.
The thirty-six array flags, arranged in a celestial formation, surrounded the area, and a light mist gathered, concealing the presence of the two individuals.
A moment later, the two seemed to merge with the heavens and earth, becoming almost imperceptible.
Especially when Jin Xuan looked at Duo Bao, if they weren't standing face to face, he probably wouldn't have noticed Duo Bao's presence at all.
Seeing this, Jin Xuan said to Duobao, "Fellow Daoist Duobao, your formation..."
"This formation is called the Heavenly Gang Concealed Breath Formation. To be honest, fellow Daoist, I am timid by nature, and breaking the formation takes a lot of time. So I spent several dozen Yuanhui (a unit of time) to comprehend this formation."
"If you and I are in this formation, you would need at least the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, or even the perfect Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, to discover each other." Duobao couldn't help but feel proud when he mentioned this formation.
Jin Xuan watched with envy. If he could comprehend this formation and combine it with the Innate Limitless Formation, setting it up near the Treasure Cave Heaven would greatly enhance its safety and concealment.
"Duobao Cave Heaven! Duobao Cave Heaven!" Jin Xuan glanced at Duobao Daoist and thought to himself, "This cave heaven needs to be renamed in the future, otherwise people will think it's Duobao Daoist's Daoist temple."
"Fellow Daoist, let's break this restriction together." As soon as Duobao finished speaking, he placed his palm three feet in front of him.
Ripples spread across the cliff face, making it appear transparent.
Before Duobao and Jinxuan was a primordial restriction.
Within the barrier, spiritual energy lingered like mist.
Jin Xuan activated his Treasure-Seeking World-Seeking Eyes, and a flash of purple-gold light appeared in his eyes.
Within the barrier, the magical energy was incredibly robust, indeed even more powerful than a top-grade innate spiritual object.
But at this moment, Jin Xuan could clearly see the array of treasures within the restriction.
He exclaimed in surprise, "It's a Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Lotus!"
"Fellow Daoist, do you recognize this item?" Duobao's eyes lit up. "It is indeed this treasure. It is said to be a lotus seed of the Chaos Green Lotus, a supreme treasure of chaos, which fell into chaos and transformed into this treasure."
The Creation Lotus is nearing maturity; the restrictions here will automatically disappear within a hundred years at most. We must break the restrictions as soon as possible, otherwise, when the Lotus is finally born, the commotion will be immense, and we will have absolutely no chance of obtaining this treasure.
"Fellow Daoist Duobao, your great opportunity is about to arrive!" Jin Xuan gave Duobao a deep look.
This Creation Lotus is divided into three parts: white lotus root, red flower, and green leaf, which evolved into three supreme innate spiritual treasures, falling into the hands of Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian respectively.
Since Duobao is here, he will surely become Tongtian's disciple.
If Jin Xuan were willing, he could simply open his mouth, or even not open it at all, and Tongtian would probably accept him as a disciple.
If you only need short-term protection, there's no need to become a disciple of Tongtian.
Although Tongtian later established a religion and became a saint, his later fate was not good.
The Jie Sect was nearly destroyed. The leader of the Jie Sect swallowed the Fallen Saint Pill. Duobao, the first disciple of the Jie Sect, joined the Western Sect and became Duobao Tathagata, bearing the name of a traitor.
Jin Xuan didn't want to become an unlucky victim in the future Investiture of the Gods.
But through this encounter, we can say that we have formed a bond.
Then Jin Xuan and Duo Bao sat cross-legged in front of the restriction.
Duobao focused intently and broke the restriction.
As for Jin Xuan, he was multitasking.
On one hand, he pretended to break the restrictions, and on the other hand, he activated the Treasure-Seeking Cave Eye to comprehend the Heavenly Gang Concealment Array of Many Treasures.
Breaking the formation is impossible. The treasure hunt at Buzhou Mountain is over, and the Creation Lotus is about to mature.
Before long, the Three Pure Ones, having obtained the gourd, will find this Creation Lotus.
He and Duobao were the first to find this opportunity, and after a while, they were destined to meet.
The Three Pure Ones also need noodles, and they will surely show goodwill at that time.
At the very least, they should offer some benefits.
For example, Duobao was directly accepted as Tongtian's first disciple.
With the help of the Treasure Cave World Eye, and the fact that Jin Xuan's foundation had been upgraded to the low-grade innate divine level, his comprehension was enhanced. More than ten years later, he had grasped most of the formation.
Twenty years later, he fully comprehended the formation.
In the future, by integrating with the Innate Limitless Array, one can comprehend a new array.
Just then, a brilliant light shot into the sky from the direction of Buzhou Mountain.
Even Daoist Duobao looked over and couldn't help but click his tongue, saying, "What a magnificent Buzhou Mountain! This commotion is probably far more powerful than the Creation Green Lotus."
Jin Xuan nodded, indicating that the innate gourd vine had been born.
After the treasure is divided, the Three Pure Ones should come to this place.
Just as Jin Xuan was gathering his thoughts, a voice came from outside the formation.
"Eldest brother, third brother, this is the place with the strongest sense of opportunity."
Duobao looked at Jin Xuan, his expression changing drastically.
"Hey! There are two little guys here too."
After speaking, Duobao looked up from within the formation.
Among the three figures, a young man with a straight, sword-like posture broke the formation with a flick of his sleeve.
run!
Duobao transformed into its true form and began digging holes like crazy.
