Although the Dragon Soul Wood was a Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the power of its self-destruction was no small matter!
However, Taichu was determined to kill the two of them. Rather than evade it, he chose to withstand it head-on!
It was not that Taichu was being overconfident. After all, his physical body had already reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage, so he was not without the ability to endure it!
Seeing the spiritual treasure self-destruct, Hun Kun Old Ancestor and Limitless Old Ancestor immediately chose to flee!
"Where do you think you're going!"
Taichu roared and swung the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler. With one strike, Ruler Span Horizon!
Two miserable cries rang out as the two desperately fled into the distance.
"Damn it!"
Taichu glared in the direction they had fled and spat out the words fiercely!
"The next time I encounter those two, I'll definitely kill them!"
Taking the self-destruction of a Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure head-on had not left Taichu unscathed either!
Looking at the wounds left on his body by the explosion, Taichu shook his head bitterly!
"My cultivation is still too low. I need to cultivate quickly. Otherwise, how will I protect the Primordial Wilderness for Big Brother?"
After speaking, he turned around and saw that three immortal islands had appeared majestically upon the surface of the East Sea!
They were arranged in the shape of a triangle. Penglai Immortal Island stood at the top, while Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island lay on either side!
These islands were the famed Three Immortals Island!
Even Taichu was stunned by the sight before him. This truly was a blessed land for immortals!
The spiritual energy on the islands was more than ten times denser than that of the Primordial Continent. Towering ancient trees stood lush and verdant, while ten-thousand-year lingzhi, exotic flowers, rare herbs, and ginseng covered the ground!
After entering the islands, Taichu formed hand seals with both hands and set up an array before beginning to explore them!
The first island he entered was Penglai Island. The moment he stepped onto Penglai Island, Taichu was utterly dumbfounded!
An ancient tree soared into the clouds, radiating wave after wave of Dao patterns!
"Th-this is a Chaos Spiritual Root, the Enlightenment Tea Tree! How is this possible?" Taichu cried out in shock!
The Enlightenment Tea Tree could aid one's comprehension of the Dao. If one drank Enlightenment Tea and cultivated beneath the Enlightenment Tea Tree, their progress would advance by leaps and bounds, achieving twice the result with half the effort!
Just as Taichu was reeling in shock, a flash of white light caught his eye. Following its source, he was nearly stunned speechless!
Beside the Enlightenment Tea Tree was a pond. At its very center floated a white lotus platform, its White Lotus blooming with twelve grades!
Nor was that all. The water in the pond was extraordinary as well—it was the Primordial Wilderness's foremost divine water, the Three Lights Divine Water!
The Three Lights Divine Water consisted of Sunlight Divine Water, Moonlight Divine Water, and Starlight Divine Water!
When separated, the Three Lights Divine Water was the most poisonous substance in the world. Not only could it harm one's Nascent Soul, but when combined, it became the world's greatest healing medicine, capable of reviving the dead and regrowing flesh upon bare bones!
At that moment, Taichu's smile bloomed like a flower!
"Looks like my fortune really is profound!"
As he spoke, Taichu looked again at the White Lotus!
He and Pangu had been born from the same root. In theory, the Chaos Green Lotus was his mother as well!
Now that he had encountered the White Lotus, he naturally felt an innate sense of closeness toward it. If he could gather every lotus platform, perhaps he could recreate the Chaos Green Lotus!
With that thought, Taichu hurriedly took out the Chaos Pearl!
The Chaos Pearl was still dim and lusterless!
He carefully placed the Chaos Pearl into the pond to nourish it!
After making a full circuit of Penglai Immortal Island, he found no other treasures!
Taichu then arrived at Fangzhang Island!
"Since Penglai Island, one of the three immortal islands, has so many treasures, Fangzhang Island surely won't be lacking either!"
With that thought, Taichu began looking around once more!
Fangzhang Island was somewhat smaller than Penglai Island. Taichu walked through it and inspected every corner carefully, yet he did not find a single treasure!
"That can't be right! They are both immortal islands, so how could Fangzhang Island have no treasures?" Taichu muttered to himself as he spread out his divine sense and searched carefully!
Still, he found nothing at all!
"Forget it! Since these three immortal islands already belong to me, there's no need to rush. I'll refine the three islands first!"
It was not that Fangzhang Island lacked treasures. They had merely been concealed by an array. Once Taichu refined the island, he would naturally know the location of every treasure with a single thought!
This refinement took a thousand years. Taichu also set up a defensive array and a concealment array around the immortal islands!
Looking at his handiwork, Taichu nodded in satisfaction!
"After incorporating so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the Island-Protecting Array's defensive power is such that anyone below the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak cannot even discover it, much less break it. This will do for now. Once my cultivation improves in the future, I'll set it up again!"
Having finished all this, Taichu flew directly back beneath the Enlightenment Tea Tree!
He began cultivating in seclusion!
Meanwhile, across the northern lands, two figures fled in a sorry state!
"Was that junior just now Pangu's second brother?" Hun Kun asked in terror!
"I suppose so," Limitless Old Ancestor replied indifferently.
"Fuck me!"
Hun Kun Old Ancestor had just raised his hand to strike Limitless Old Ancestor when he discovered that one of his arms had already been severed cleanly by the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler!
Hun Kun Old Ancestor asked again, "Since you recognized him, why didn't you say so sooner? Did you have to wait until we were beaten black and blue before telling me?"
Limitless Old Ancestor was about to say, "I suppose so."
But after seeing the icy look in Hun Kun Old Ancestor's eyes, he forcibly swallowed the words back down and did not dare make a sound!
As they spoke, the two limped back to their respective Dao fields!
On Jade Capital Mountain!
Hongjun slowly opened his eyes!
Hongjun's Dao Injury had fully healed. With the Fragments of Creation Jade Disc, his cultivation had advanced rapidly, and he had faintly touched the threshold of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage!
Hongjun, who had attained the Dao as Cricket Zen, had been the most insignificant low-ranking Demon God in Hundun.
Relying on the calamity of the opening of heaven, he had escaped into the Primordial Wilderness. Thus, in this life, he swore to become someone above all others—no, to be precise, he wanted to become the cricket above all crickets!
Seeing that his cultivation had vaguely reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage, he felt that he was capable again!
"If I want to dominate the Primordial Wilderness alone, I must have enough spiritual treasures. Therefore, I must gather enough treasures!" Hongjun muttered to himself!
"The moment I think of spiritual treasures, I think of that Taichu. He's utterly hateful! If not for that Taichu back then, I would have obtained quite a few spiritual treasures!"
Thinking of this, Hongjun could not help but grow furious again. But when he looked at his current cultivation, he smiled in satisfaction once more!
After saying that, he took a single step and arrived once again at the center of the Primordial Wilderness!
It was not that Hongjun had some obsession with treasures. After all, among those at the same realm, a fine spiritual treasure was enough to ensure that one remained undefeated.
In other words, among those of the same level, whoever possessed the better spiritual treasure would not lose and would survive!
That was true in the Hundun World, and naturally it was the same in the Primordial World!
After wandering about, Hongjun arrived outside Pangu Hall. Yet when he was still ten million li away, he could advance no further. Pangu's pressure crushed him until his bones creaked!
"Damn it!" Hongjun cursed inwardly!
"I can clearly sense a supreme treasure ahead, yet I cannot advance even the slightest bit. How hateful!"
Hongjun glared viciously at Pangu Hall before retreating beyond the range of its pressure!
"Pangu Hall, is it? You're very good! This Old Ancestor will remember this!"
With that, he snorted coldly, turned, and left!
