Second Master's Moment of Glory! Pangu's Secret Treasure Threw Itself into His Arms!
With a proud and aloof gait, Yuanshi Tianzun returned to the Yuxu Palace.
I was incredibly annoyed.
The eldest brother, Taiqing Laozi, went out for a stroll and acquired Chaos Breathing Soil and Bodhi Leaf one after another, his luck was off the charts.
Although the third brother, Tongtian, didn't find any treasure, he managed to exchange a pot of roasted meat for a mountain of treasures at the Zixiao Palace. Now he's happily planning to build a "Immortal Slaying Sword Formation Theme Park" for Lin Shen.
He himself was empty-handed.
How could the Yuqing Daozu, who always valued his reputation and always strived to be number one, possibly feel at ease?
"Hmph! What does luck matter?"
Yuanshi Tianzun mentally encouraged himself.
"True strength never relies on luck!"
"We cultivators should take our own Great Dao as our foundation and seek our true selves with unparalleled perseverance! My elder brother and the others have gone astray, resorting to opportunism and trickery, and are not worthy of our attention!"
He sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, preparing to calm down and carefully devise the next "Teaching Tools" for Lin Shen.
The last "Primordial Holographic Cinema" was quite effective, allowing Lin Shen to learn a lot about the history of the Primordial World.
But the Yuanshi Tianzun felt that it wasn't enough!
Not cool enough! Not sophisticated enough! Not interactive enough!
Especially after witnessing the power of Hongjun Daozu's "Words Manifest Reality," he felt immense pressure.
"I have to create something big!"
"I want my disciple to see that Second Master is the most powerful! A million times more powerful than that old man who can only conjure flowers!"
The competitive spirit of Yuanshi Tianzun burned fiercely.
He closed his eyes, his primordial spirit sank into his sea of consciousness, and began to deduce his own Great Dao of Formations.
The plan is to simplify and improve the essence of the most prized "Nine Bends Yellow River Formation" and "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Formation".
Create a massive immersive AR game that integrates "maze exploration," "role-playing," and "monster fighting and leveling up"!
He'd even come up with a name for the game—<Pangu Creates the Heavens Simulator>!
This will allow Lin Shen Can to personally experience the thrill of being the Great God Pangu, wielding the Heaven-Opening Axe, and fighting against Three Thousand Demon Gods!
"Hmm, that's a good idea!"
The more Yuanshi Tianzun thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He began to calm his mind and sketch out complex Array Runes in his sea of consciousness.
But just then...
"Buzz--"
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Pangu Banner, the Innate Supreme Treasure that was in harmony with his primordial spirit, suddenly trembled slightly without warning.
"Um?"
The Yuanshi Tianzun's heart stirred, and he opened his eyes.
The Pangu Banner was formed from the blade of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe. It is in charge of killing and contains the supreme power to World Creation.
How could something that's usually so still suddenly start moving on its own?
He probed the Pangu Banner with his divine sense, carefully sensing its contents.
They discovered that the Pangu Banner was facing a corner of the Yuxu Palace, emitting an extremely faint yet yearning resonance.
That corner was the most secluded storage room in the Yuxu Palace.
Inside were piles of "garbage" he had collected since the World Creation, but which he felt was of little use, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away.
For example, fragments of some Chaos Rock, withered branches of some unknown Innate Spiritual Root, and so on.
He hasn't set foot in that place for countless eons.
"Could it be that something in that corner has become connected to the Pangu Banner?"
A sense of curiosity arose in Yuanshi Tianzun's heart.
He stood up and, following the guidance of the Pangu Banner, walked to the door of the dusty storage room.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the stone door, covered in restrictions, opened silently.
A musty, stale smell wafted over.
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly. He was a clean freak and couldn't stand such a messy and dirty environment.
I forced myself to go inside, despite feeling uncomfortable.
The storage room remained the same as always, with all sorts of "garbage" piled up haphazardly.
The resonance of the Pangu Banner grew stronger and stronger.
Finally, he was led to a pile of dark, Chaos Rock.
"Is this the place?"
Yuanshi Tianzun was somewhat puzzled.
These Chaos Rock were picked up casually by him during his travels through the Chaos years ago.
Although the material was hard, the laws governing it were chaotic, making it unusable for refining weapons, so he just left it here to gather dust.
Could it be that I misjudged the situation?
What treasures might be hidden inside these stones?
The Yuanshi Tianzun stretched out his hand and used his magic to push aside the pile of stubborn rock fragments.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to something about the size of a palm, which looked like animal hide, beneath the fragments.
The animal hide was grayish-white, looked tattered, and had several holes in it, as if it had been pierced by some sharp weapon.
There was no fluctuation of magical power or flow of Daoist energy above it.
It looked like an ordinary, rotten animal hide that had been sitting for who knows how many years.
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and picked up the rotten animal hide.
The initial impression was unremarkable, even a bit rough.
"Strange, is this what the Pangu Banner senses?"
The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable was utterly perplexed.
He examined the rotten animal hide from all angles, but couldn't figure it out.
Just as he was about to throw it away, thinking that the Pangu Banner might have malfunctioned,
His fingertip accidentally brushed against a hole in the animal hide.
"Buzz--"
In that very instant!
That ordinary, rotten animal hide suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light!
A vast, ancient, and domineering aura of creation erupted from the animal hide!
That Daoist essence was incredibly pure; it was the very first axe blow wielded by the Great God Pangu at the moment of World Creation!
"This... this is?!"
Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief!
He saw that countless mysterious runes and patterns appeared out of thin air on the rotten animal hide, intertwining to form a complete picture scroll.
The scroll depicted none other than the complete form of his Innate Supreme Treasure — the Pangu Banner!
Moreover, it also records in detail the entire process of how the Pangu Banner evolved from the blade of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe into Innate Supreme Treasure!
And within it lie the forty-nine fundamental Heaven-Opening Laws!
This... this is... the design blueprint for the Pangu Banner?!
Or rather, its "manufacturer's instruction manual"?!
Yuanshi Tianzun was completely dumbfounded.
He obtained the Pangu Banner for countless eons and believed that he had refined it to its ultimate potential.
However, he always felt that he had not been able to fully unleash the power of the Pangu Banner, and he always felt that there were some deeper mysteries that he had not yet grasped.
He always thought it was because he wasn't skilled enough.
But now he realizes that it wasn't that he lacked skill, but that he simply didn't have an "instruction manual"!
With this blueprint, he will be able to fully understand all the mysteries of the Pangu Banner!
Unleash the full power of this Innate Supreme Treasure!
He could even comprehend the purest form of the Great Dao of Creation from Pangu Father God!
This opportunity is ten thousand times greater than the combined chances of my elder brother finding that lump of Chaos Breathing Soil and that tattered leaf!
"Hahaha... hahahaha!"
Unable to contain his elation any longer, Yuanshi Tianzun laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.
The laughter was full of joy and pride.
What luck? What opportunism?
This is truly the destiny bestowed upon us!
This is the highest reward from the Great Dao for my diligent cultivation Yuanshi Tianzun!
He carefully put away the "Beast Skin Blueprint," and the arrogant look on his face returned, even more pronounced than before.
He strode out of the Yuxu Palace with an air of indifference, as if he didn't recognize anyone.
He's going to find his eldest brother and third brother!
He wanted to show them what true "opportunity" really was!
What truly defines a "Chosen One"?
Meanwhile, in the temple, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Nuwa, who were envious of Taiqing Laozi's discovery of a treasure, were huddled together, whispering amongst themselves.
"Do you think Big Brother secretly fed Lin Shen something delicious, which is why Lin Shen's luck improved?"
The Tongtian Jiaozhu guessed with a look of suspicion.
Nuwa nodded thoughtfully, "Very likely. I've discovered that Little Lin Shen's obsession with food is beyond imagination. Perhaps we can start from this angle."
Just as they were preparing to join forces to figure out how to "bribe" Lin Shen with delicious food in order to gain a "lucky buff".
Yuanshi Tianzun, radiating an air of smugness he could not conceal, emerged from the Yuxu Palace.
"Eldest brother, third brother, Fellow Daoist Nuwa."
He cleared his throat and spoke in an extremely calm yet boastful tone.
"While I was sorting through some old things just now, I happened to find a little trinket."
As he spoke, he prepared to take out the "Pangu Banner Instruction Manual" and dazzle their eyes.
However, before he could even take the treasure out...
Outside the Kunlun Mountain, in the direction of the East China Sea, a deafening roar suddenly resounded!
Immediately afterwards, an incomparably sharp sword aura shot into the sky, tearing through the clouds!
The sword energy was mixed with the Tongtian Jiaozhu's incredulous yet wildly joyful roar.
"My goodness! Is this a windfall?!"
"No! It's a sword of Innate Spiritual Treasure level that fell down!"
