Due to his innate attributes, Cihang's Five Elements Creation Qi had always been unbalanced.

This also kept him stuck at the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm.

Now, a single Ginseng Fruit had greatly increased Cihang's comprehension, allowing him to enter the realm of enlightenment.

The laws of the Five Elements flashed one by one in Cihang's sea of consciousness, where they were absorbed and transformed, becoming his own cultivation.

Under this continuous enlightenment, Cihang also used the power of the Five Elements' mutual generation to circulate the Five Elements within his body.

The Five Elements primal qi circulated continuously, achieving a state of balance among them.

The cultivation bottleneck that had been trapping him shattered in an instant.

Coupled with the surging primal qi from the Ginseng Fruit, Cihang was propelled to the peak Golden Immortal realm in one go.

A moment later, Cihang opened his eyes, the surprise within them impossible to conceal.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist Cihang, on your successful breakthrough!"

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist!"

Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun spoke in unison to offer their congratulations.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi. If it weren't for this Ginseng Fruit, I would still be trapped by the bottleneck!"

Cihang rose and expressed his gratitude.

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist. While the Ginseng Fruit is extraordinary, it only serves as an aid.

Your breakthrough is due to your accumulation and comprehension!"

Zhenyuanzi waved his hand to stop Cihang and invited him to sit down again.

"Fellow Daoist, you truly don't need to be polite. This Ginseng Fruit is precious externally, but Brother Zhenyuan certainly isn't lacking in them!"

Hongyun also picked up a Ginseng Fruit, appraising it as he spoke with a smile.

"You! Giving this Spiritual Fruit to you is a complete waste!"

Zhenyuanzi pointed at Hongyun with a smile in his voice.

"Spiritual fruits are meant to be eaten, even if they are top-tier Spiritual Fruits!"

As he spoke, Hongyun took out nine Ginseng Fruits and placed them before Cihang.

"Although the effect of the Ginseng Fruit is best the first time, it can still provide some auxiliary benefits to you, fellow Daoist!"

"Please accept these Spiritual Fruits as well. Currently, these fruits have little effect on us two."

Zhenyuanzi also gave the remaining few fruits to Cihang.

Zhenyuanzi greatly treasured the Ginseng Fruit.

It was only because Cihang was compatible with him that he gave away so many more.

"Thank you, two fellow Daoists. Cihang will not stand on ceremony with you.

Coincidentally, Cihang also has some Spiritual Fruits here. Although they are not as good as Ginseng Fruits, they possess some profound mysteries!"

Cihang did not refuse, but after accepting the Ginseng Fruits, he also took out many spiritual items.

These included the Yellow Jade Spirit Pine and Purple Bamboo Spirit Tea, among others.

"Innate Spiritual Fruit? Fellow Daoist truly has great fortune?"

Hongyun looked at Cihang with some surprise.

Although a little surprised, they were all very discreet and did not inquire about Cihang's fortune.

"I hope you two fellow Daoists will not find them wanting!"

Cihang smiled and invited them to taste the Yellow Jade Spirit Pine.

With the Spiritual Fruits and immortal tea, the three of them began to discuss the Dao in the main hall.

While it was called discussing the Dao, it was more like preaching the Dao to Cihang.

Cihang also stabilized his cultivation during this discussion.

When it ended, Cihang still seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun were both peak Quasi-Saints, and their cultivation experience was extremely precious.

Cihang gained immense benefits from this discussion.

On the other hand, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun were also very surprised; Cihang's knowledge and wisdom far surpassed his cultivation realm.

At the insistence of Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun, Cihang temporarily stayed at Wuzhuang Temple.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to refine the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

Since the Spiritual Treasure had come into his possession, he had no intention of returning it.

Although he failed to injure Randeng this time, taking one of his Spiritual Treasures had greatly weakened him.

Activating the restrictions on the side hall, Cihang took out the Heaven Measuring Ruler and examined it.

Although Randeng's cultivation was not strong, he did possess some Destiny/Fortune.

It not only possessed the companion spiritual treasure, the Spirit Coffin Lamp, but also the Heaven Measuring Ruler, a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

In Cihang's memory, this Heaven Measuring Ruler was extraordinary.

It contained a strand of Innate Qiankun power, which could aid in the evolution of Grotto-Heaven worlds.

It was precisely because Randeng used the Heaven Measuring Ruler to open up the Twenty-Four Heavens that he was able to achieve the status of Ancient Buddha in the future.

It could be said to be Randeng's path to enlightenment.

"However, this Heaven Measuring Ruler belongs to me now. Will you, Randeng, still achieve such accomplishments?"

Cihang formed a treasure refining hand seal, which transformed into streams of light that descended upon the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The Heaven Measuring Ruler, however, emitted a fierce resisting force.

Cihang's refining completely activated the Heaven Measuring Ruler, which began to counterattack Cihang.

"All Beings Seal, suppress!"

The All Beings Seal shone brightly, gathering the power of heaven and earth, and moved to suppress the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

"Since it has already fallen into my hands, do you still intend to resist?"

Unlike other spiritual treasures, the Heaven Measuring Ruler was a spiritual treasure with an owner, making it naturally more difficult to refine.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Under the suppression of the All Beings Seal, the light of the Heaven Measuring Ruler gradually receded.

Despite trembling and struggling with all its might, it was ultimately futile.

Cihang seized this opportunity to continuously imprint his mark, re-refining the restrictions within the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

Just as Cihang was about to imprint a restriction, all the restrictions on the Heaven Measuring Ruler flared with light.

In the next second, countless divine script characters combined, forming Randeng's likeness.

"Cihang, how dare you refine my spiritual treasure?"

Randeng glared at Cihang in anger.

"The Heaven Measuring Ruler is mine now. How can I not refine it?"

Cihang showed no fear.

The figure before him was not the true Randeng, but a primordial spirit imprint he had left within the spiritual treasure.

"Cihang, you are merely relying on Hongyun's influence to forcibly seize my spiritual treasure.

Will Hongyun protect you forever?

I advise you to release me immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Randeng threatened Cihang sternly.

"Heh, when have you, Randeng, ever been polite to me?

This Heaven Measuring Ruler is just a lesson for you. If you continue to pester me, you won't even be able to keep the Spirit Coffin Lamp!"

Cihang remained unmoved. He unleashed streams of World Purifying Light from his hand, purifying Randeng's aura from the spiritual treasure.

"Cihang, do you really think you can seize my spiritual treasure with your own power?

You overestimate yourself! I will personally come to retrieve the Heaven Measuring Ruler."

Randeng roared. The restrictions on the Heaven Measuring Ruler flared, instantly expelling Cihang's consciousness from the spiritual treasure's space.

In the next second, the Heaven Measuring Ruler's treasure light dimmed; Randeng had sealed it himself.

"Hmph, do you think I can't do anything to you this way?

Creation Cauldron, refine it for me."

Cihang waved his hand and summoned the Creation Cauldron, beginning to refine the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Fierce flames rose within the cauldron, beginning to forge the Heaven Measuring Ruler with all its might.

"Ah! Cihang, what are you doing?"

"Another high-grade spiritual treasure?"

"No, Cihang, are you really going to fight me to the death!"

Randeng's primordial spirit imprint let out a mournful, furious roar.

"We are already in a situation of fighting to the death.

Today, I will first destroy your primordial spirit imprint and collect some interest!"

Cihang formed hand seals. The flames within the cauldron intensified, burning towards Randeng.

"Fine, I, Randeng, have fallen today. You'd better hope Hongyun can protect you forever."

Randeng's venomous curse could be heard intermittently.

"Then you don't need to worry about it. Die!"

Cihang struck the Creation Cauldron with a palm, completely obliterating Randeng's imprint.

At the same time, a wisp of true fire essence, following the flow of energy, fled into the void.

"Pfft!"

On Spirit Vulture Mountain, Randeng suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Cihang, I, Randeng, will surely take your life."

His Spiritual Treasure was stolen, his primordial spirit imprint destroyed, and Randeng's main body had also suffered severe injuries.

Just then, a wisp of true fire appeared within Randeng's body, beginning to wantonly devour his essence.

"Cihang, you deserve to die!"

Randeng's expression changed, and he roared again in anger.
