In the Primordial World, time was not counted in years. More than ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Xuan Yi and Hongjun sat facing each other within Jade Capital Mountain.
"Old man, can you let me travel the Primordial World now?"
"Oh? Have you cultivated the Law of Space to the third level?"
Xuan Yi said nothing, merely giving a light wave of his hand.
"Spatial Shift."
Xuan Yi's figure darted rapidly through Jade Capital Mountain. This divine ability, Spatial Shift, could only be used after comprehending the Law of Space to the third level.
"Spatial Strangulation."
Another soft cry rang out. The space before Hongjun instantly collapsed, and the shattered fragments of space transformed into blades that slashed at one another.
"You've comprehended the Law of Space to fifty percent?"
Hongjun had miscalculated again. He had thought that even with Yang Mei's infused power of law, Xuan Yi would need at least several million years to comprehend thirty percent. Yet in merely ten thousand years, Xuan Yi had actually comprehended fifty percent of the Law of Space.
"I'm not done yet."
"Spacetime Suspension."
Every blade of grass and tree on Jade Capital Mountain instantly froze. Even Hongjun was affected slightly.
"How is this possible? The Law of Time? How do you possess the Law of Time? And you've comprehended both time and space to the sixth level?"
If not for the support of his billions of years of cultivation, Hongjun's Dao heart might have collapsed on the spot. How long had it taken him to comprehend the laws in the beginning? Trillions upon trillions of years? And Yang Mei? How long had it taken him to comprehend the Law of Space? Also trillions upon trillions of years.
Yet Xuan Yi had comprehended the laws to such a degree in only ten thousand years, and they were even the most difficult Laws of Time and Space. How could Hongjun possibly remain calm?
In truth, this was also thanks to Xuan Yi being a transmigrator. When he had transmigrated here, the Primordial Chaos Bead had contained a great number of Law of Time fragments.
Without realizing it, they had fused with the Law of Space Yang Mei had left behind. The two complemented each other, allowing Xuan Yi to comprehend both laws at once within such a short time.
"Perhaps your son is simply rather talented at comprehending laws. Father won't go back on his word, will he?"
What else could Xuan Yi say? He could only tell the truth.
"Since I have promised you, how could I break my word?"
Hongjun directly took out two Chaos Origin Stones. These two Chaos Origin Stones had been retained by Hongjun when heaven and earth first opened. After remaining by his side for billions of years, they had already developed spiritual intelligence.
Hongjun lightly pointed at them.
"Buzz."
The two Chaos Origin Stones instantly transformed into two Dao attendants.
The two attendants resembled a golden boy and a jade maiden, fair-skinned and beautiful.
Most importantly, they possessed early Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation the moment they took form. Their foundations were in no way inferior to those of the great divine beings of the Primordial World.
Hongjun pointed again and transmitted to the two of them all the knowledge and experience of the present Primordial World.
"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Young Master."
The two Dao attendants knelt in unison.
"From today onward, you shall be my Dao attendants. You will be Haotian, and you will be Yaochi. Your task from now on will be to accompany the Young Master as he travels the Primordial World. You must take good care of him. Do you understand?"
"We shall obey Master's decree."
Haotian and Yaochi immediately knelt and answered.
"Xuan'er, your father has reached the critical moment of attaining the Dao. From here on, let Haotian and Yaochi accompany you on your travels."
"This is an Incarnation Talisman forged by your father. Should you encounter danger, simply tear it apart, and your father will arrive immediately."
Still unable to set his mind at ease about Xuan Yi, Hongjun gave him another safeguard.
"Thank you, Father. I wish Father an early attainment of the Dao."
Over this long period, Hongjun had cared for Xuan Yi with utmost devotion. Xuan Yi was not cold-hearted, and he had likewise come to regard 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. You must protect the Young Master."
Hongjun was exceptionally stern at this moment.
"Thank you, Master."
Haotian and Yaochi looked at the Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures in their hands and were already overwhelmed with excitement. This was truly a windfall from heaven.
"Mm."
Hongjun nodded and looked toward Xuan Yi.
"Xuan'er, your father is going into seclusion. If you encounter danger, you must tear the Incarnation Talisman immediately. Never force yourself."
After saying this, Hongjun's figure instantly vanished.
"Let's go."
After taking one final look at Jade Capital Mountain, Xuan Yi brought Haotian and Yaochi with him, transforming into streaks of light as they flew toward the Primordial World.
"Freedom!"
Xuan Yi shouted as he flew. With the mindset of a modern man, he had cultivated for more than ten thousand years and had long been driven nearly mad from restraint.
Now that he was finally out, the emotions he had suppressed for so long were finally released.
Haotian and Yaochi silently followed behind Xuan Yi. This was also their first time coming to the Primordial World, and as they gazed upon its wondrous scenery, they were beyond excited.
"Huh? There's a spiritual treasure here."
After landing, Xuan Yi immediately sensed a treasure nearby. Because of the Primordial Chaos Bead's origin, every spiritual treasure felt an inexplicable affinity toward Xuan Yi.
Sensing Xuan Yi's arrival, the spiritual treasure directly transformed into a streak of light and flew toward him.
"A top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure, the Purple Spirit Armor."
"Haotian, this is for you."
Xuan Yi, already clad in divine equipment, truly had no interest in a mere Houtian Spiritual Treasure. He casually tossed it to Haotian.
"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master!"
Haotian was different. Apart from the Haotian Mirror Hongjun had given him, he did not possess a single spiritual treasure.
I never expected the Young Master to give me a spiritual treasure. I must serve him well from now on.
Xuan Yi's figure instantly became towering in Haotian's heart.
"Let's go. I can sense many more spiritual treasures calling to me."
Before Haotian could speak again, Xuan Yi led the two of them toward the next location.
"Wow, this is one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots, Five Pine Needles. Eating one can gather the energy of the five elements."
"This is a Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure."
"This is the Innate Spiritual Root, the Dragon Fire Tree."
Along the way, Xuan Yi picked up treasures everywhere until even he became dazed. Were there really this many treasures in the Primordial World? Were spiritual treasures just common items? Were they everywhere? The novels from his previous life had deceived him.
After several hundred years outside, Xuan Yi had stuffed his pockets full. By a preliminary count, he had acquired over a hundred mid-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures or better, along with dozens of types of Innate Spiritual Roots. There were even several hundred low-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures.
And that did not include the Houtian Spiritual Treasures Xuan Yi did not care for. He had thrown them all to Haotian and Yaochi, numbering in the thousands.
But Haotian and Yaochi, who followed behind him, did not see things that way. Hongjun had imparted to them his knowledge of the Primordial World, so naturally they knew how difficult it was to obtain even a single treasure.
The two went from ecstatic joy at the beginning, to utter disbelief later, and finally to numbness.
"I swear, even Master may not have a fortune as abundant as the Young Master's now."
Haotian was utterly stunned by Xuan Yi's luck. Others found it harder than ascending to heaven to obtain even one spiritual treasure, but what about Xuan Yi? Spiritual treasures flew into his hands on their own. With such treatment, no one would believe he was not the Dao of Heaven's beloved son.
After following Xuan Yi on this journey, even Haotian and Yaochi had become newly rich. Each of them possessed several Xiantian Spiritual Treasures—naturally, the ones Xuan Yi did not care for—and more Houtian Spiritual Treasures than they dared imagine.
"What is that place? Let's go take a look."
An immortal mountain in the distance entered the trio's sight. Immortal aura drifted around it, immediately drawing their attention.
"Let's go take a look."
Xuan Yi gave the order, and Haotian and Yaochi immediately followed him as they flew toward the immortal mountain.
