As for the Gathering Origin Cauldron, it was meant to refine the Spiritual Treasure materials in his possession into Spiritual Treasures, while also concocting some pills for his disciples who had yet to be born.
"As for the remaining Spiritual Treasures, I'll have to come back for them later." Qing Xuan gazed greedily at the other treasures. Unfortunately, his cultivation was insufficient; otherwise, he would have simply snatched them away.
"Hahahaha! Little friend, you have good taste. Those two Spiritual Treasures rank among the finest in our Dragon Clan Treasury."
After Ao Lie saw that Qing Xuan had chosen his treasures, he led him out of the treasury. The two returned to the main hall of the Dragon Palace. Just as Qing Xuan was about to bid farewell, he heard a crisp and pleasant voice.
"Father, has your injury healed? Who is this person?"
A curious gaze fell upon Qing Xuan. A well-behaved, adorable girl with dragon horns atop her head ran to Ao Lie's side, wrapped her arms around his, and coquettishly pleaded with him.
"Hahahaha! Ao Run, this is Tongtian, the benefactor who helped heal my injuries."
"Little Friend Tongtian, this is my daughter, Ao Run, the Eldest Princess of the West Sea."
Ao Lie happily introduced them to each other.
"Greetings, Eldest Princess."
"Greetings, Senior Tongtian."
Qing Xuan and Ao Run exchanged polite greetings. Looking at Ao Run, the future Dragon King of the West Sea, Qing Xuan had not expected her to be so adorable and well-behaved.
"Senior Ao Lie, this junior still has matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave first."
Qing Xuan then spoke his farewell. After all, he was still using someone else's identity, so it was better to make his escape first.
"Hahahaha! In that case, little friend, make yourself at home. The West Sea welcomes you to visit anytime."
"Farewell, Eldest Princess."
Qing Xuan then departed from the West Sea Dragon Palace.
"Father, is this person very powerful?" Ao Run asked curiously.
"Hmph. This man does not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually wanted to clash head-on with Yuan Feng while only at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. That is someone even your father would not dare provoke."
"He is bound to be a huge troublemaker. If you see him in the future, remember to stay far away from him."
Ao Lie instructed his daughter, hoping she would not provoke that troublesome fellow. Yet he did not know that sometimes, trouble could not be avoided.
At this time, Qing Xuan had already left the West Sea and was flying toward the land, intending to find a valley where he could first refine his Spiritual Treasures.
"Looks like I can only return to the Dragon Clan Treasury after cultivating the divine ability of Fetus Transformation and Shape Shifting."
"After cultivating Fetus Transformation and Shape Shifting, I'll be able to alter my appearance and physique. Turning into a member of the Dragon Clan before entering the treasury will be much more convenient."
As he pondered this, Qing Xuan spotted a valley with beautiful mountains, clear waters, and abundant spiritual energy.
"This place will do."
Qing Xuan parted the clouds and mist, then raised his hand and cast twenty-four restrictions to protect the valley.
"Oh, an unexpected gain."
Qing Xuan looked at the Innate Profound Gold in his hand. It could be used to forge Spiritual Treasures. Though it was not rare, no one would ever complain about having too many Spiritual Treasures.
Thus, Qing Xuan began cultivating here. Besides the two High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, he also intended to forge some things he had in mind.
At this moment, a great battle was taking place in the skies of the western Primordial Wilderness.
"Black loach, die!"
First Kirin unleashed a divine ability at Ancestral Dragon, who was currently battling Yuan Feng.
"Roar!"
"Dead kirin, mangy bird, today I will make sure you both die here!"
Ancestral Dragon dodged the attack and roared furiously at the two of them.
"Hmph! I'm afraid you lack the ability."
Yuan Feng snorted coldly. Compared with Ancestral Dragon and First Kirin, the naturally proud Phoenix was still somewhat more polite than they were.
Ever since the war among the Three Clans began, fighting had spread from south to north, then from north to east. Along the way, countless living beings had suffered, while mountains and rivers had been shattered. The leaders of the Three Clans realized that this would not do. Even if they won, the Primordial World would be ruined.
Thus, the Three Clans sought a place where they could fight without restraint. After discussing it, they found that the Phoenix Clan was in the south, the Kirin Tribe in the east, and the Dragon Clan was spread across the Four Seas, so their location did not matter. That left only the west and the north. Yet the north was almost entirely ocean, with little land, making it highly disadvantageous for the other two clans.
So, as the Three Clans fought, they gradually moved into the western reaches of the Primordial Wilderness and began their unrestrained final battle.
Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and First Kirin had been fighting for years. All three stood at the Quasi-Saint Peak and should have been evenly matched. Yet Ancestral Dragon was somehow able to fight two against one without falling behind, greatly shocking the spectators.
For instance, not far to the west, Luohu, who had concealed his form, was watching the battle alongside the Twelve Demon Generals under his command.
"Cult Leader, Ancestral Dragon is actually this formidable. It seems this battle will continue for quite some time."
"Hahahaha! The longer it lasts, the better. It will give me the opportunity to set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation."
Luohu brought forth four flying swords: the long-bladed Immortal Slaying Sword, the entirely crimson Slaughtering Immortal Sword, the Trapping Immortal Sword whose blade emitted an eerie, dim radiance, and the Absolute Immortal Sword whose blade flowed with mysterious runes.
"Boshun, go add some fuel to their fight."
"Yes, Cult Leader."
The Twelve Demon Generals flew toward the place where Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and First Kirin were fighting. Luohu immediately formed a hand seal and laughed sinisterly.
"Hongjun, I hope you enjoy the gift I have prepared for you. Hehehe."
As it happened, high in the eastern sky, Hongjun was also watching Ancestral Dragon and the others' battle with several people.
Besides Yang Mei and Qian Kun, Hongjun had an elderly man with an immortal bearing at his side.
"Daoist Hongjun, I never expected you to invite Daoist Zaohua as well. It seems Luohu is certain to die this time." Qian Kun happily looked at Daoist Zaohua beside him. As fellow Chaos Demon Gods, they had naturally dealt with one another before.
"Daoist Qian Kun, do not underestimate him. When I was searching for Luohu before, I briefly fought him. His injuries have already healed, and after lurking in secret for so many years, his schemes are surely immense. We must remain cautious."
Hongjun was not so optimistic. In the struggle for the Heavenly Dao, one wrong step meant losing the entire game. That was why he had gone to such lengths to bring Yang Mei, Qian Kun, and Zaohua together to eliminate this demon.
"That is right. We all cultivate the Three Thousand Great Daos. Now that Luohu has pulled ahead of us, once he attains the Dao, he may not be as accommodating as Pangu and allow us to remain in the Primordial World."
"Daoist Hongjun, look!"
As the four Chaos Demon Gods conversed, Daoist Zaohua pointed toward the place where Ancestral Dragon and the others were fighting. Several Demonic Shadows were flying toward the three combatants.
"Daoist Hongjun, what should we do?"
Hongjun narrowed his eyes and said,
"These people should be Luohu's subordinates. Let us refrain from acting for now and see what they intend to do."
The four then stopped talking and quietly watched the battle below.
Meanwhile, Qing Xuan was still in the valley from before, but rather than cultivating, he was "having hotpot!"
"Wonderful, wonderful! This Dragon Meat really does taste better than other meat." Qing Xuan picked up a slice of Dragon Meat with his chopsticks and fed it into his mouth. The meat was tender and smooth, yet pleasantly chewy. Combined with the freshness of the ingredients, it was bursting with flavor. One bite filled him with pure satisfaction.
"Ah! I love seafood!" Qing Xuan could not help shouting aloud to express his delight.
After refining the Gathering Origin Cauldron and the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Hood, Qing Xuan had begun forging several Spiritual Treasures he had envisioned. Although he had transmigrated to the Primordial World, Qing Xuan still retained the memories of his previous life.
