Seeing this, Cuiwei and Han Su said nothing, merely smiling as they divided the group into several teams.
"The first thing we need to do is scout out the current situation. That way, we can prepare ourselves. If we act blindly like this, we're bound to suffer losses."
Hearing Cuiwei and Han Su's words, the others nodded.
"We understand. Just like Master said, 'Sneak into the village, don't fire a shot!' Information is always the top priority."
"Right!" Han Su also smiled and nodded.
Under Cuiwei and Han Su's arrangements, the group split up and headed in various directions to begin gathering information.
Soon, Cuiwei's team encountered a great demon locked in battle with a Fierce Beast.
But what surprised them was that even though the great demon, a late-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, had pulled out all the stops—
It was still being driven back step by step by the Fierce Beast, which was only at the mid-stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
That Fierce Beast's body seemed to be an innate spiritual treasure itself, as it simply rammed headlong into the great demon's magic treasure.
With every collision, the Fierce Beast was unharmed, but the great demon couldn't hold up.
Especially now—the magic treasure in his hand was already covered in cracks.
It pained him just to look at it.
Watching the Fierce Beast before him, which radiated a monstrous, heaven-shaking aura, Cuiwei couldn't help but mutter inwardly, So this must be the protagonist of this Kalpa.
I just wonder who the opponent on the other side is?
Just then, that late-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal great demon also spotted Cuiwei and the others.
He hurriedly called out, "Fellow daoists, please lend me a hand and slay this Evil Beast! After the matter is settled, I will surely reward you!"
Cuiwei and the others exchanged glances.
After a moment's hesitation, they called back to the great demon.
"Greetings, fellow daoist. May we ask what the reward is?"
That Primordial Unity Golden Immortal great demon quickly shouted, "It is a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure I stumbled upon, one that falls just short of a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure! I haven't retrieved it yet, as the time wasn't right. If you fellow daoists help me through this ordeal, I will surely tell you where it is!"
Hearing this, Cuiwei and the others didn't hesitate for a second. They turned and left.
"Farewell!"
Their clean, decisive departure stunned the great demon for a moment.
Wait—that's a treasure just one step away from a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
After Cuiwei and the others had left, one of the child attendants couldn't hold back anymore.
"That great demon was so rude! He wants us to help him, yet he can't even offer a decent reward. How stingy! Master said people like that aren't worth befriending!"
Cuiwei nodded in agreement.
He could even sense the deep reluctance hidden in that great demon's voice when he mentioned the treasure.
Just a measly mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, and he was already so reluctant.
Who would save him?!
After all, over the years, Hong Yuan had used the Universe Cauldron to refine quite a few magic treasures.
Every single one was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Sometimes he'd refine a whole pile of them in one go.
He had seen Master forge artifacts before—just toss some dirt and bones into the cauldron, close the lid, and it was done.
It didn't take any effort at all.
Sometimes Master even let him try his hand at it.
It was that simple.
If even he could do it so easily, then Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures probably weren't all that rare in the Primordial Wilderness.
After all, who among them didn't have three or five Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures on them?
A mere mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, and he was so reluctant about it—no one in their right mind would save him.
Not long after Cuiwei and the others had left—
A blood-curdling scream rang out.
The aura of that Primordial Unity Golden Immortal great demon vanished from the Primordial Wilderness in an instant.
But the Fierce Beast didn't stop. It immediately charged after the lingering traces of Cuiwei and the others.
Feeling the monstrous aura closing in from behind, Cuiwei's face twisted with anger.
"What a bold beast!!"
As he spoke, a longsword wreathed in boundless Geng Jin Qi had already appeared in his hand.
The others did not hesitate either, angrily shouting as they took out their own magical treasures.
In an instant, the auras of those Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures filled the void above.
A dazzling array of colors, extremely brilliant.
Their sheer number even caused the mindless Fierce Beasts to pause instinctively.
"Die for Us!"
Cuiwei and the others held nothing back, directly channeling all their power into the treasures in their hands.
"Boom!"
With a massive explosion that shook heaven and earth.
That Fierce Beast instantly turned to ashes.
Watching the beast perish like that, Cuiwei furrowed his brow.
"How is it this fragile? Could it be that it was already severely wounded after that fight with the great demon earlier?"
And the battle on Cuiwei's side also drew the attention of many.
But when they saw that each of these individuals had at least three or more Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures beside them.
They were instantly stunned into silence.
Wait, since when did Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures become as common as dirt?
Although the Primordial Wilderness had many innate spiritual treasures, the number of Top-grade ones was still limited.
Having spent years cultivating here, obtaining even one was an extremely fortunate matter.
There were even many Primordial Unity Golden Immortals who only had a low-grade innate spiritual treasure at best.
Yet today, they witnessed hundreds of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
This also sparked a thought in their minds.
If only they could get their hands on one.
As for why these people possessed so many Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, that was already forgotten.
Although the influence of Kala Qi was at play, when profit lay before them, many still couldn't resist the temptation.
In an instant, the many great demons in this area began communicating with each other.
After all, these people were not weak in strength, and with so many treasures protecting them.
They were not something a single person could take down.
If possible, it would be best to find a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to oversee the battle.
Even if most of the gains would go to that Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
But this was also the safest approach.
After all, Cuiwei and the others numbered several dozen people.
In the distance, Han Su suddenly felt a pang of unease for no apparent reason.
So she quickly began to perform a divination.
This divination immediately filled her with rage.
The change in Han Su's expression caught the attention of the others, who hurriedly asked, "Big Sister, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
Han Su took a deep breath, her voice as bone-chilling as the dead of winter, sending shivers down everyone's spine.
Her terrifying aura caused snowflakes to begin falling all around.
"Some reckless great demons, coveting our treasures with evil intentions, plan to gather the nearby great demons to attack Cuiwei and the others!"
Hearing Han Su's words, the crowd immediately lost their composure.
"Their mother's eggs! We haven't even made a move against them, and they dare to think of robbing us? Do they think we're pushovers?!"
Rolling up their sleeves and cursing, they said, "Let's go! Big Sister, let's go teach them a lesson and show them who's Father!!"
Even the usually more composed young girls were now fuming with rage, their faces fierce: "Master told us, we don't start trouble, but we're not afraid of it either! Let's go! Today, we're going to shove their heads up their own asses!"
"They've really gone against heaven!"
And in the Hong Yuan Realm, watching this scene, Hong Yuan's face turned completely black.
Wait, what the hell, do you all have two faces or something?
Where are This Venerable's well-behaved little boys and girls?
