Chapter 17 Planning Opportunities
After discussing the Dao with Su Nu at the Jade Terrace by the water, Xuan Yao did not linger in the inner mountains of Xikunlun.
Instead, he rode on auspicious clouds and returned directly to his Qingheishan Taoist temple, located more than a million miles to the southeast.
Back in his cave, Xuan Yao dismissed the two boys, Qingya and Yuanguo, who came to greet him, and went alone into the secret chamber deep in the cold pool, where he sat cross-legged on a white jade bed.
"The Dao Ancestor Hongjun has only recently become a saint, and his lecture at Zixiao Palace has not yet fully concluded. In this vast primordial world, many supreme treasures that will later become famous are mostly still ownerless or in a state of gestation!"
Xuan Yao closed his eyes slightly, and the memories belonging to the transmigrators of later generations surged out of his mind like a tide.
He began to carefully review and take stock of all the great opportunities and extraordinary fortunes he knew of.
The first place name that popped into Xuan Yao's mind was naturally Mount Buzhou, the spine of Pangu that supported the primordial world!
Mount Buzhou, what a wondrous place that is!
That is the ancestral vein of the entire prehistoric world.
Xuan Yao knew very well that somewhere on Buzhou Mountain, a primordial gourd vine, capable of seizing the power of heaven and earth, was being nurtured.
The seven innate gourds growing on the vine were all extraordinary.
Each one, once matured, becomes a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!
Purple-Gold Gourd, Water-Fire Gourd, Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, Demon-Summoning Banner...
In later generations, top-tier beings such as the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Donghuang Taiyi, and Hongyun Laozu all obtained a gourd from this vine, which became awe-inspiring throughout the primordial world.
Moreover, the soil that nurtures the gourd vine is the "Nine Heavens Breath Soil," a land brimming with boundless vitality!
Besides the gourd vine, there is also a primordial banana tree on Mount Buzhou that produces leaves of earth, fire, water, and wind, each of which is a top-grade primordial spiritual treasure.
Such an opportunity, any one of which could be taken out, would be enough to drive the cultivators of the prehistoric world completely mad.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yao thought of the three ethereal immortal islands overseas.
Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou.
These three immortal islands were formed from fragments of chaos that fell into the East Sea when the world was created.
It not only retains the purest innate chaotic spiritual energy, but also nurtures countless innate spiritual roots and rare treasures, and is protected by a natural chaotic array that conceals the secrets of heaven.
Finding even one of them is equivalent to possessing an inexhaustible treasure trove.
"Mount Buzhou...Three Immortal Islands..."
Xuan Yao murmured to himself, a barely concealed fervor flashing in his eyes.
But he regained consciousness after only a moment.
"No! These places, though wonderful, are also extremely dangerous, far beyond my current capabilities!"
Xuan Yao felt increasingly uneasy about it.
Let's start with Buzhou Mountain.
Today, Buzhou Mountain is not only the land left by Pangu, but also the birthplace of the twelve ancestral witches and the ancestral lineage of the entire witch clan!
The people of the Wu tribe do not cultivate their primordial spirit, but only their physical body.
They naturally regard the flesh and blood of the primordial demon race as a great tonic.
Although his black tiger demon body had been refined by the Renshui peaches and had lost many of its acquired impurities, in the eyes of those witches with murderous aura, it was still a top-quality blood delicacy exuding an enticing aroma!
If I were to recklessly approach the depths of Buzhou Mountain, even if I were to wear the skin of an inner disciple of the Queen Mother of the West...
In the face of those tyrannical and unreasonable witch clan shamans, they would mostly be courting death, and would probably be chewed up and swallowed even their bone fragments.
Moreover, those peerless spiritual treasures, such as the innate gourd vine, were preordained by fate and were intertwined with the great karma of many future saints.
If one tries to forcibly seize it, one will surely suffer divine retribution.
Then there are the three fairy islands overseas.
The East China Sea is vast and boundless.
The deep sea not only conceals the legacy of the dragon race that retreated from the initial calamity of the Dragon Han Dynasty, but also harbors countless ancient demons and sea creatures that have lived for countless eons.
Even a powerful being at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level wouldn't dare say they could freely enter or retreat from such a dangerous place.
With his current mere late-stage Xuanxian cultivation, venturing into the East Sea to search for that ethereal Chaos Array is no different from suicide.
"Greed knows no bounds; trying to seize the ultimate opportunities without the corresponding strength is nothing but a path to death."
Xuan Yao eradicated these extremely dangerous thoughts from his mind one by one.
After a period of extremely calm elimination and screening.
Finally, Xuan Yao thought of a famous mountain in the southern part of the prehistoric world—Mount Wuyi!
Wuyi Mountain is not well-known in the current prehistoric world; it is just an ordinary place where many independent cultivators come and go.
However, Xuan Yao, as a time traveler, knew very well that this mountain had a great reputation in the later Investiture of the Gods!
Because within this mountain, two extraordinary opportunities were nurtured, enough to change the fate of any cultivator!
Firstly, there is the Enlightenment Tea Tree, one of the ten supreme innate spiritual roots!
Although this tree does not directly increase magical power like the peaches of immortality, the Enlightenment Tea it produces can help cultivators instantly enter a state of enlightenment, directly pointing to the origin of the Great Dao.
This is an invaluable treasure for any cultivator stuck at a bottleneck.
Secondly, there is that top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Dropping Coin!
This treasure is shaped like a round copper coin with a square hole, and has wings on the left and right sides, with celestial inscriptions faintly visible on it.
Although he did not appear many times in the later Investiture of the Gods.
But its record was absolutely brilliant!
It is virtually invincible against all magical treasures in the world!
No matter what grade your magic weapon is, as long as you use this Treasure-Dropping Coin, you can instantly sever the connection between the magic weapon and its owner, forcibly causing it to fall!
Back then, Zhao Gongming, who was awe-inspiring throughout the primordial world, wielded twenty-four supreme innate spiritual treasures, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, and rendered the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect powerless to fight back.
However, two unknown rogue cultivators easily snatched the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl away with the Treasure-Falling Coin!
"The Treasure-Falling Coin... If I could obtain this treasure, I would be virtually invincible in this primordial world where magical treasures determine victory!"
Xuan Yao's heart began to beat faster.
More importantly, although Wuyi Mountain is home to many independent cultivators and is a mixed bag of people, it is not like Buzhou Mountain or the East Sea, where one often faces great dangers such as the great witch of the Wu tribe or ancient demons.
As for whether the treasure coin already has an owner.
Xuan Yao had already made a deduction in his mind.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, who came from later generations, were just two rogue cultivators with mediocre cultivation, yet they were able to obtain the Treasure-Dropping Coin here.
This is enough to show that even though this opportunity has begun to take shape at this time, it has definitely not been seized or protected by any extremely powerful being.
"I am now at the late stage of the Profound Immortal realm, with a powerful physical body and the protective magic weapon, the Profound Fiend Golden Whip."
"I could take a trip to Wuyi Mountain."
Once the general direction was set, Xuan Yao had no further hesitation.
Now or never.
He immediately stood up and walked out of the secret room, calling the two boys, Qingya and Yuanguo, to his side.
"I have recently felt that I need to travel far away to seek an opportunity."
Xuan Yao looked at the two respectful boys and solemnly instructed them:
"While I am away from the mountain, you must all remain in your positions. Keep the mountain gates tightly closed and activate the protective maze formation. No matter what happens outside, or if anyone comes to challenge you, you must not leave the mountain without permission, and you must not lead anyone into the formation."
"Anyone who disobeys will not be spared!"
"This humble servant will obey Your Majesty's decree and will guard the temple to the death, awaiting Your Majesty's return!" Qingya and Yuanguo were startled and kowtowed repeatedly.
After instructing the boy, Xuan Yao returned to the edge of the cold pool.
He gazed at the Jade Dew Blessing Ganoderma, which exuded a rich and pure aura of blessings, and made a series of hand seals.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
He used his late-stage Xuanxian magic power as a foundation, combined with the earth vein techniques in "The True Explanation of the Golden Palace Mysterious Demon".
Around this icy pool and the core treasure vault, nine layers of illusion arrays were successively set up to conceal their auras, as well as three layers of Xuan Sha restrictions that would unleash terrifying killing intent if touched.
After doing all this, ensuring that even if a golden immortal were to pass by, it would be difficult for them to see through the core essence of this blessed land in a short time.
Xuan Yao was finally completely relieved.
Opportunities and destiny are determined by struggle!
Xuan Yao changed into a simple blue Taoist robe, completely concealing the fierce aura of the Black Tiger, and transformed into an ordinary-looking Xuanxian Taoist.
With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and burst out of the protective array of the Qinghei Mountain Range.
Having identified the location in the southern part of the prehistoric world, Xuan Yao parted the clouds and rushed straight towards Wuyi Mountain, which held unparalleled opportunities!
