After a short while.
Lin Xuan arrived outside Laozi's dojo, Shouyang Mountain.
As soon as he descended from the rainbow light, a burst of fragrance assailed his senses, invigorating his spirit.
He glanced around.
He saw patches of spiritual roots scattered throughout Shouyang Mountain, each absorbing the Innate Spiritual Qi from the mountain and producing various phenomena.
The weakest of these spiritual roots were of the Low-grade Innate Spiritual Root level.
Anything inferior, like Postnatal Spiritual Roots, wouldn't even catch Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's eye.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Perhaps seventy to eighty percent of the Primordial World's Innate Spiritual Roots have been gathered here.
No wonder Grand Supreme Elder Laozi can refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, which can resurrect the dead and bring the flesh back to life, and allow anyone who consumes it to immediately become a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
With so many Innate Spiritual Roots for him to practice with, even a pig could be molded into a master of the Alchemy Dao.
Not to mention that Laozi himself possesses profound talent in the Alchemy Dao.
However.
All these Innate Spiritual Roots would soon belong to him!
Lin Xuan looked at Shouyang Mountain, shrouded by the Innate Two Energies Micro-Dust Illusionary Annihilation Formation, and a smile crept onto his lips.
Then, with a thought.
The primordial black God-Slaying Spear, radiating wisps of murderous aura, appeared in Lin Xuan's hand.
Following the formation mastery he inherited, Lin Xuan easily deduced the flaws in the mountain-protecting formation.
He then gently poked it with the God-Slaying Spear.
Instantly, a fluctuating gap appeared before Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan walked into the formation as easily as if he were returning home.
It couldn't be helped.
Who knew Lin Xuan's Master, Sect Master Tongtian, was an unparalleled master of formations in the Primordial World, and Lin Xuan had inherited all of his insights into formations.
Coupled with the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, this formation, not personally overseen by a Saint, was like paper to him.
Speaking of which.
Among the Three Pure Ones, the three brothers born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, Laozi was the founder of the Primordial World's Alchemy Dao, and Tongtian was a master of formations himself. It seemed only Yuanshi was in a mediocre position.
Apart from his cultivation, he had nothing else to show for himself.
After his internal grumbling, Lin Xuan headed directly for the Grand Supreme Eight Sceneries Palace located at the summit of Shouyang Mountain.
Laozi's senior disciple, Xuandu, was guarding the dojo there.
Ever since Lin Xuan had ransacked Primordial Heavenly Venerate's Jade Void Palace last time, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi had ordered his disciple Xuandu to guard the dojo.
To prevent a similar incident.
In Laozi's opinion, his disciple already possessed Late Stage Quasi-Saint cultivation and could break through to the Late Stage Quasi-Saint realm at any moment.
In the Primordial World, besides himself and the other six Saints, Xuandu was considered a top expert.
With him guarding the dojo, Laozi was confident he could rest easy.
Xuandu, on whom Laozi placed great hope, suddenly felt a sense of unease.
He silently performed a divination of heavenly secrets, but found nothing unusual.
Still somewhat uneasy, Xuandu decided to patrol Shouyang Mountain.
As soon as he stepped out of his quiet room, he saw a figure leisurely strolling in the Eight Sceneries Palace.
Xuandu's pupils contracted sharply when he recognized the figure's identity.
The Intercepting Sect's Senior Disciple Brother, Lin Xuan!
How dare he!
How dare he trespass into a Saint's dojo!
Was he not afraid of death!
Immediately, Xuandu circulated his full mana, adopting a defensive stance.
He prepared to notify his Master, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, to return.
Xuandu believed that, as a Late Stage Quasi-Saint powerhouse, he could at least exchange a few blows with Lin Xuan and stall until his Master returned.
By then, Lin Xuan would surely be unable to withstand the wrath of a Saint.
Just as Xuandu made up his mind, he heard a voice filled with surprise.
"So you're here, that saves me some trouble."
Immediately after, Xuandu saw an unbelievably powerful fist strike towards him!
For a moment, Xuandu felt time freeze and space shatter, the cycle of life and death of all heavens revolving within that fist.
He was completely immobilized by a vast will, unable to do anything, his mind a blank slate, with only this ever-growing fist.
"Bang!"
Xuandu, the esteemed Senior Disciple Brother of the Human Sect, the foremost disciple of Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, and a powerful Late Stage Quasi-Saint.
His Primordial Spirit was scattered by Lin Xuan's bare-fist strike, leaving him in a state of unknown life or death.
This wasn't because Xuandu was too weak.
It could only be said that Lin Xuan's physical strength was too formidable!
Throughout the history of the Primordial World, no cultivator had ever been able to refine their physical body to such a level.
Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were once renowned for their physical prowess in the Primordial World, had not reached this realm.
Not to mention, Lin Xuan's Primordial Spirit cultivation had also reached the peak of Quasi-Saint.
The combination of these two was definitely not a simple matter of addition.
Lin Xuan, at this moment, could truly be considered a miniature Saint.
Therefore, he could crush Xuandu effortlessly.
Looking at Xuandu lying unconscious on the ground, a smile couldn't help but appear on Lin Xuan's lips.
Then, he flicked his sleeve.
The disciples of the Intercepting Sect, whom he had collected using his Sleeve Universe divine ability, appeared within the Grand Supreme Eight Sceneries Palace.
Lin Xuan spoke to these disciples, their faces filled with excitement:
"Now, pack up the entire Eight Sceneries Palace."
The disciples of the Intercepting Sect, who had long suppressed their excitement, upon hearing Lin Xuan's words.
Immediately, they all said in unison:
"Yes! We will strictly follow the decree of the Sect Leader Senior Disciple Brother!"
Then, they rushed out like zombies released from a cage.
Beginning their grand act of looting!
Leading the charge was none other than the usually taciturn Fairy Bixiao.
She rolled up the sleeves of her arms and shouted in a sweet voice:
"Sisters, follow me! Time is pressing! Everyone, first collect all the precious elixirs, magical treasures, and spiritual roots, and hand them over to the Sect Leader Senior Disciple Brother!"
"As for the rest, don't worry about them for now!"
Fairy Yunxiao, who was standing beside Lin Xuan, saw her sister's fierce demeanor and couldn't help but blush slightly.
Her sister was acting a bit too...
Seeing his junior disciples' enthusiastic fervor, Lin Xuan couldn't help but clear his throat lightly.
Then, he turned and walked towards the depths of the Eight Sceneries Palace, joining the grand act of looting.
