Guangchengzi's heart ached the moment he saw the vines.

A perfectly good opportunity, snatched away for no reason. How could Guangchengzi not be furious?

Then, Guangchengzi and True Person Huanglong saw the line of text Li Xiao had carved into the mountain wall.

"Encounter Huanglong, and decline for three years!"

Guangchengzi's old face twitched violently as he turned to look at True Person Huanglong.

True Person Huanglong, on the other hand, was so enraged he turned red, his eyes blazing, and roared, "Bastard, bastard! Which scoundrel is trying to frame this poor daoist?"

With that, True Person Huanglong, in his fury, summoned an immortal sword and directly blasted the giant mountain before them into collapse.

Dust billowed, and rocks flew!

Guangchengzi sighed, his face dark, and turned to leave.

A Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root like the Nine Heavens Jade Dew Fruit was a rare find, something that could not be sought out. To have his opportunity stolen naturally put Guangchengzi in a terrible mood.

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, wait for this poor daoist..."

True Person Huanglong hurriedly chased after Guangchengzi.

Catching up to Guangchengzi, True Person Huanglong quickly explained, "Senior Brother Guangchengzi, don't believe that inscription. I don't know which scoundrel is trying to frame me. Senior Brother Guangchengzi, you..."

"Junior Brother Huanglong, rest assured. How could I believe such nonsense? I just don't know who stole my opportunity. It's truly hateful and infuriating. If I ever find out who it is, I'll make them pay!"

Guangchengzi said fiercely.

"Yes, this poor daoist will definitely help Senior Brother Guangchengzi seek justice!"

True Person Huanglong said quickly.

Guangchengzi nodded, said nothing more, and continued to fly on his cloud.

After a short while, Guangchengzi's mind was suddenly illuminated again. A smile appeared on his gloomy old face, and he grinned, "Junior Brother Huanglong, I've sensed another opportunity!"

True Person Huanglong's old face twitched violently upon hearing this. He cupped his hands sourly towards Guangchengzi and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Guangchengzi. As they say, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. You lost an opportunity before, and now you've gained another. This is your good fortune!"

"Let's go. If we're late, someone else might snatch the opportunity!"

Guangchengzi nodded.

The two immediately sped off on their clouds.

However, halfway there, Guangchengzi's old face changed drastically again, and he gritted his teeth, "Not good, I can't sense that opportunity anymore..."

"This..."

True Person Huanglong's old face twitched violently, and a bad premonition began to stir within him.

The two hurriedly flew forward on their clouds.

Finally, they arrived beside a great river.

The aura of treasure permeated the area by the great river, but Guangchengzi could no longer sense it at all. Clearly, the treasure had been taken by someone else.

In fact, this was precisely the case. Li Xiao had just left this place, having obtained a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure from the river: the Heavy Water Bead.

Guangchengzi's face turned extremely grim. Suddenly, he looked up and saw a stone tablet. On it was inscribed the words, "Encounter Huanglong, and decline for three years."

Guangchengzi's old face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He abruptly turned to look at True Person Huanglong.

True Person Huanglong panicked and shouted, "Which scoundrel is so brazenly framing this poor daoist? If I find out, I will never forgive you..."

Chapter 19: Guangchengzi's Opportunity is Stolen Again and Again?

"Hmph!"

Guangchengzi snorted coldly, extended a large hand, and grabbed towards the river.

"Splash..."

With a loud splash, a fish demon was forcibly pulled ashore by his immense magical power.

"Immortal, spare me! Immortal, spare me..."

The fish demon was terrified and hastily knelt and kowtowed to Guangchengzi.

Guangchengzi, his face ashen, looked at the fish demon and asked in a deep voice, "I ask you, did someone come here just now and take a treasure?"

"Replying to the immortal, yes!"

The fish demon did not dare to hide anything and nodded quickly.

Guangchengzi took a deep breath and continued to ask, "What treasure was it?"

"I don't know exactly what treasure it was, but I vaguely heard the person say... something about the Heavy Water Bead..."

The fish demon said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi almost choked with anger and exclaimed, "A Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heavy Water Bead?"

"It seems so..."

The fish demon grinned.

Guangchengzi staggered, nearly falling to the ground, his heart about to explode with rage.

After all, throughout the entire Primordial World, there were only thirty-six sets of Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, meaning there were a total of forty at most.

He had finally encountered one, only for someone else to get there first!

If it were an ordinary treasure, Guangchengzi wouldn't be so angry, but the higher the grade of the treasure, the angrier Guangchengzi became!

After all, a bird in the hand had flown away, and it was a particularly plump bird at that. How could Guangchengzi not be angry? How could he not rage?

"I ask you, what did that person look like?"

True Person Huanglong hurriedly pressed.

The fish demon grinned and cupped his hands, "Reporting to the immortal, that person was shrouded in divine light, and I... I couldn't see his face..."

"You... useless thing!"

True Person Huanglong roared in anger. With a wave of his sleeve, he sent the fish demon tumbling into the great river.

"Hmph!"

Guangchengzi let out a heavy snort and sped forward on his cloud, clearly going to chase after the person who had stolen his treasure.

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, wait for me..."

True Person Huanglong was in a panic and quickly chased after Guangchengzi.

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, don't believe that person's nonsense. That person... that person is clearly trying to frame me..."

True Person Huanglong hurriedly explained.

Guangchengzi nodded with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Although Guangchengzi knew that someone was deliberately framing True Person Huanglong, the key was that Guangchengzi had a grudge!

It was one thing if it happened once, but this was the second time!

Moreover, the treasures lost were better each time, either Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Fruits or Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Guangchengzi couldn't help but recall that saying.

The two of them pursued relentlessly.

But where was anyone to be found?

Li Xiao had long since disappeared without a trace!

Li Xiao possessed the Chaos Bead, which could shield him from Heavenly Secrets. Not only could Guangchengzi and True Person Huanglong not find him, but if he wanted to hide, even all the Saints in the heavens, or even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, wouldn't be able to find his whereabouts.

Unable to find Li Xiao's whereabouts, Guangchengzi and True Person Huanglong felt a sense of loss.

They then decided to head to Mount Kunlun to listen to the Dao.

As they were traveling, Guangchengzi suddenly had an epiphany again. His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed joyfully, "I've sensed another treasure!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Guangchengzi!"

True Person Huanglong couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

Truly, comparing oneself to others was enough to kill oneself!

He was with Guangchengzi, yet he hadn't sensed anything, while Guangchengzi was sensing treasure after treasure.

Although the previous two treasures had been snatched away by others, it precisely showed that Guangchengzi had profound fortune, far beyond what he, True Person Huanglong, could compare to.

This time, Guangchengzi turned to look at True Person Huanglong.

Clearly, Guangchengzi was wary of the treasure being snatched away again.

Seeing Guangchengzi looking at him, True Person Huanglong's old face twitched fiercely, and he gave a sheepish smile.

Guangchengzi immediately fled forward at the fastest speed of his life.

True Person Huanglong hurriedly followed Guangchengzi.

However, halfway there, Guangchengzi's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Damn it, someone else has stolen my opportunity!"

Saying that, Guangchengzi accelerated again and charged forward.

True Person Huanglong's face turned ashen, a vague premonition rising in his heart, and he also hurriedly chased after Guangchengzi.

The two arrived at a valley. The vegetation in the valley was extremely lush and verdant, with towering trees and abundant spiritual energy. A rich, intense fragrance wafted towards them.

On the ground were some flower buds resembling lotuses, as if deliberately left behind, making them very conspicuous.

In fact, this was precisely the case. Li Xiao had deliberately left them there to anger Guangchengzi.

"This... this is the flower of the Yellow Middle Plum, one of the legendary Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots..."

Guangchengzi had seen the description of the Yellow Middle Plum in an ancient book. It was indeed like the lotus-like flower on the ground. He was so enraged that Blood Essence surged to his head, and he almost couldn't catch his breath and passed out.

The Yellow Middle Plum!

It was known as the King of All Fruits!

It was far more precious than the Ginseng Fruit of Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi and the Peaches of Immortality of the Queen Mother of the West!

The Ginseng Fruit took three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and another three thousand years to mature, yielding thirty fruits at once;

The Peaches of Immortality were similar to the Ginseng Fruit.
