Time in the Primordial Chaos flowed without measure; tens of thousands of years vanished in the blink of an eye.

Within Jade Capital Mountain, Xuan Yi and Hongjun sat facing each other.

"Old man, can you let me travel the Primordial Chaos now?"

"Oh? Have you cultivated your Law of Space to the third level?"

Xuan Yi said nothing, merely waving his hand gently.

"Spatial Transfer."

Xuan Yi's figure zipped through Jade Capital Mountain. This divine ability was precisely Spatial Transfer, which could only be used after comprehending the Law of Space to the third level.

"Spatial Annihilation."

Another soft exclamation followed. The space before Hongjun instantly collapsed, and the shattered fragments of space transformed into blades that cut into each other.

"You've comprehended the Law of Space to fifty percent?"

Hongjun had miscalculated again. He had thought that even with Yang Mei's Law power infusion, it would take Xuan Yi at least millions of years to comprehend thirty percent. He never expected that in just ten thousand years, Xuan Yi would actually comprehend the fifth level of the Law of Space.

"I'm not done yet."

"Time-Space Stasis."

Every blade of grass and tree in Jade Capital Mountain instantly froze. Even Hongjun was slightly affected.

"How is this possible? Law of Time? How do you know the Law of Time, and moreover, comprehend both Time and Space to the sixth level simultaneously?"

If not for his billions of years of cultivation bolstering him, Hongjun's Dao heart would likely have collapsed by now. How long did it take him to comprehend the laws? Trillions of years? How long did Yang Mei take to comprehend the Law of Space? Also trillions of years.

Yet, in just ten thousand years, Xuan Yi had comprehended the laws to such a degree, and these were the most difficult Laws of Time and Space. How could Hongjun remain calm?

In truth, this was largely thanks to Xuan Yi being a transmigrator. When he arrived, the Primordial Chaos Bead had left behind a large amount of Law of Time fragments.

Unknowingly, these had merged with the Law of Space left by Yang Mei. The two complemented each other, allowing Xuan Yi to comprehend both laws simultaneously in such a short period.

"Perhaps my talent in comprehending laws is quite high, Father. You won't go back on your word, will you?"

What else could Xuan Yi say? He could only speak the honest truth.

"Since I promised you, how could I go back on my word?"

Hongjun directly produced two Primordial Chaos Stones. These two stones were left by Hongjun when the heavens and earth first opened. They had been by Hongjun's side for billions of years and had already developed sentience.

With a gentle tap from Hongjun, "Buzz."

The two Primordial Chaos Stones instantly transformed into two Daoist attendants.

The two Daoist attendants were like golden boy and jade girl, fair-skinned and beautiful.

Crucially, they possessed the cultivation of early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals the moment they took form. Their origins were in no way inferior to the great deities of the Primordial Chaos.

With another gentle tap from Hongjun, he imparted his experiences in the Primordial Chaos to the two of them.

"Greetings, Master, greetings, Young Master."

The two Daoist attendants knelt in unison.

"From today onwards, you shall be my Daoist attendants. You shall be Haotian, and you shall be Yaochi. Your task from now on is to accompany the Young Master on his travels through the Primordial Chaos. You must take good care of the Young Master, do you understand?"

"We respectfully obey Master's decree."

Haotian and Yaochi immediately knelt and replied.

"Xuan'er, your father has reached a critical juncture in his path to enlightenment. From now on, let Haotian and Yaochi accompany you on your travels."

"This is an Incarnation Talisman refined by your father. If you encounter danger, simply tear this talisman, and your father will arrive immediately."

Unable to completely rest assured about Xuan Yi, Hongjun added another layer of safety.

"Thank you, Father. I wish you early enlightenment."

For so long, Hongjun had devoted himself wholeheartedly to Xuan Yi. Xuan Yi was not a cold-blooded and heartless person; he also regarded Hongjun as family.

"Haotian, Yaochi."

Before Xuan Yi could say anything else, Hongjun waved his hand.

Two Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures appeared.

"This is the Haotian Mirror."

"This is the Plain Cloud Boundary Flag."

"I hope you two will make good use of them and ensure the Young Master's safety."

At this moment, Hongjun was exceptionally stern.

"Thank you, Master."

Haotian and Yaochi, looking at the Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures in their hands, were dazed. This was truly a windfall from heaven.

"Hmm."

Hongjun nodded and looked towards Xuan Yi.

"Xuan'er, your father is going into seclusion. If you encounter any danger, tear the Incarnation Talisman immediately. Do not try to be brave."

After saying this, Hongjun's figure vanished instantly.

"Let's go."

With one last look at Jade Capital Mountain, Xuan Yi, along with Haotian and Yaochi, transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the Primordial Chaos.

"Freedom!"

Xuan Yi shouted loudly as he flew. Having cultivated for over ten thousand years with the consciousness of a modern person, Xuan Yi had been driven mad with boredom.

Now that he was out, the emotions he had suppressed for so long were finally released.

Haotian and Yaochi followed silently behind Xuan Yi. This was also their first time in the Primordial Chaos, and they were incredibly excited by the magnificent scenery.

"Hmm, there's a Spiritual Treasure here."

After landing, Xuan Yi immediately sensed a treasure nearby. The origins of the Primordial Chaos Bead gave all Spiritual Treasures a strange sense of familiarity towards Xuan Yi.

Sensing Xuan Yi's arrival, the Spiritual Treasure directly transformed into a streak of light and flew towards him.

"A top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure, the Purple Spirit Armor."

"Haotian, this one's for you."

Clad in divine equipment, Xuan Yi truly disdained mere Houtian Spiritual Treasures and casually tossed it to Haotian.

"Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master."

Haotian was different. Apart from the Haotian Mirror that Hongjun had given him, he didn't have a single Spiritual Treasure.

I can't believe Young Master actually gave me a Spiritual Treasure. I've served Young Master well.

Xuan Yi's figure instantly grew taller in Haotian's heart.

"Let's go, I feel like there are many more Spiritual Treasures calling to me."

Without waiting for Haotian to speak again, Xuan Yi led the two towards the next location.

"Wow, these are the Five Pine Needles, one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots. Eating one can gather the energy of the Five Elements."

"This is a top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure."

"This is the Xiantian Spiritual Root, the Dragon Fire Tree."

Along the way, Xuan Yi kept picking things up until he was dizzy. Were there really so many treasures in the Primordial Chaos? Are Spiritual Treasures as common as dirt? Those novels from my past life misled me.

Xuan Yi had been out for several hundred years, and his money pouch was stuffed full. A preliminary calculation showed over a hundred Spiritual Treasures of Mid-grade Xiantian or above, and dozens of types of Xiantian Spiritual Roots. There were also hundreds of Lower-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures.

This didn't even include the Houtian Spiritual Treasures that Xuan Yi disdained and threw to Haotian and Yaochi, which numbered in the thousands.

However, Haotian and Yaochi, who were following behind, didn't think that way. They had the knowledge of the Primordial Chaos instilled by Hongjun and knew that obtaining even one treasure was difficult.

From initial elation to disbelief, and then to numbness.

"I swear, even Master might not be as wealthy as Young Master right now."

Haotian was completely astonished by Xuan Yi's luck. It was as hard as climbing to heaven for others to obtain a Spiritual Treasure, but for Xuan Yi? Spiritual Treasures flew into his hands automatically. With such treatment, no one would believe Xuan Yi wasn't the favored son of the Heavenly Dao.

Even Haotian and Yaochi became rich overnight just by following Xuan Yi out. Each of them had several Xiantian Spiritual Treasures (of course, the ones Xuan Yi didn't care for), and the number of Houtian Spiritual Treasures was beyond imagination.

"What is that place over there? Let's go take a look."

A fairy mountain appeared in the distance, catching the attention of the three. Ethereal immortal energy wafted from the mountain.

"Let's go, let's go see."

Xuan Yi spoke, and Haotian and Yaochi immediately flew towards the fairy mountain with him.
