This was a stretch of sea shrouded in endless rays of light.
At the center of the sea stood an incomparably majestic peak, surrounded by nine enormous mountain ranges stretching for countless tens of thousands of miles.
The mountain ranges resembled nine dormant dragons, guarding the central main peak from all directions.
"Nine Dragons Embracing the Pearl?"
Su Ming raised an eyebrow, seeing that this terrain was anything but ordinary.
This was one of the finest feng shui treasures in the world, a place most likely to nurture rare and precious treasures.
However, when his Divine Sense probed deeper, the playful expression on his face instantly turned into wild delight!
With his cultivation as a Primordial Golden Immortal, the naturally formed restrictions and illusions were completely transparent to him!
He saw through the surface and grasped the essence!
Those so-called nine mountain ranges were no mountain ranges at all!
They were clearly nine supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Veins!
The spiritual energy contained within each one was enough to support a top-tier great clan's consumption for ten thousand years!
As for the enormous peak guarded by the nine spiritual veins in the center, its true nature made Su Ming's heart clench violently!
It was not a mountain peak at all!
It was a true dragon vein!
An Ancestor Dragon vein formed from the convergence of boundless spiritual energy and the Destiny/Luck of the earth!
In terms of rank, across the entire Primordial Wilderness, there was probably only Buzhou Mountain, the backbone of Heaven and Earth, that could firmly suppress it!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Su Ming exclaimed "good" three times in his heart, his gaze blazing as if it could melt that entire stretch of Heaven and Earth!
He had originally come only for a Top-tier Innate Supreme Treasure, but he had never expected such an unparalleled treasure land to be hidden here as well!
A thought appeared in his mind.
This time, he would not only overpower all the Primordial Wilderness's elites and seize the treasure!
He would also pack up and take away this entire place, along with the nine supreme-grade spiritual veins and the central Ancestor Dragon vein!
He had been worrying that the level of his dao field's space was insufficient to accommodate more powerful beings.
If he could refine this unparalleled treasure land and merge it into his dao field, the space of his dao field would surely undergo a world-shaking transformation!
By then, what spiritual energy and what resources? They would be inexhaustible!
In an instant, Su Ming's plans changed completely.
His gaze slowly swept across the hundreds of thousands of excited and greedy cultivators present, including the few high-and-mighty Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
His eyes were so cold that they held not the slightest trace of warmth.
It was as if he were looking at a group of ants that had entered his backyard and were preparing to steal his vegetables.
Originally, he had only intended to snatch the treasure and leave, too lazy to bother with these people.
But now, this place had already been claimed by Su Ming.
Then everyone who had entered this place without permission and still dared to covet his treasures and territory...
They were all enemies!
Su Ming had never shown mercy to his enemies!
He might as well use this opportunity to establish his might throughout the Primordial Wilderness!
He would let the entire Primordial Wilderness see clearly that no one could touch what belonged to Su Ming!
At that thought, the faint killing intent around Su Ming quietly gathered.
A bloody feast that would soon shock the entire Primordial Wilderness had already begun to unfold!
Yet the hundreds of thousands of cultivators before him knew nothing of it. They were still confronting one another over the treasure that was about to emerge, their hostility on the verge of erupting.
The instant Su Ming's feet touched the ground, a long-awaited system notification rang out in his mind.
[ Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the entry: Pangu Shouyang Origin!] [ Pangu Shouyang Origin: Formed from Great God Pangu's male essence. It contains supreme creation and can help the host comprehend the profundity of Creation and refine his Divine Soul!]
Su Ming's heart trembled, and dazzling light burst from his eyes!
Pangu Shouyang Origin! This was a treasure ten thousand times more precious than any Innate Spiritual Treasure!
What made his heart burn even hotter was that he instantly understood the extraordinary nature of this place.
Shouyang Mountain!
Wasn't this the later dao field of Laozi of Taiqing?
No wonder that old man would choose this place. It turned out that such a shocking great creation was hidden here!
However, before Su Ming could carefully refine that strand of origin, the entire Shouyang Mountain suddenly began to shake violently without warning!
Rumble!
The earth split apart, rocks rolled down, and a vast, boundless aura erupted from deep within the mountain, shooting straight into the ninth heaven!
In an instant, a thick five-colored divine light, as massive as a heavenly pillar, pierced the firmament, dyeing the sky across hundreds of millions of miles in dazzling colors.
Immediately afterward, endless golden light erupted from within the divine radiance. Auspicious colors filled the sky, countless rays of light shone, clouds gathered in layers, heavenly flowers rained down, and golden lotuses surged from the earth!
Such a world-shaking phenomenon was more than ten times grander than the one in the Eastern Sea a hundred years ago!
In an instant, the entire Primordial Wilderness was stirred once again!
Countless cultivators who had just returned defeated from the Eastern Sea had not even had time to catch their breath before their eyes reddened again. They transformed into streaks of light and madly rushed toward Shouyang Mountain!
This time, the number of cultivators who gathered far exceeded the previous occasion, reaching several million!
The dense masses of people surrounded the entire Shouyang Mountain until not even water could pass through. They stretched from the ground all the way to the ninth heaven and sea of clouds. Murderous intent and greed intertwined, making the entire world incomparably oppressive.
Su Ming stood in the void, coldly watching this group of cultivators whose minds had been clouded by greed. His expression did not waver in the slightest.
His gaze had already pierced through the dazzling golden light and seen the source of the phenomenon.
The light gradually faded.
A golden seal roughly three inches square, coiled with nine lifelike five-clawed golden dragons and radiating a mighty, dignified, supreme aura, quietly floated above the main peak of Shouyang Mountain.
The instant he saw the seal clearly, Su Ming's pupils suddenly contracted!
Even though his state of mind had long been as calm as an ancient well, turbulent waves still surged within him at this moment!
"Kongtong Seal!"
"It's actually the human race's supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal!"
Su Ming's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
He had never imagined that at this point in time and in this place, the treasure that would emerge would actually be this legendary supreme treasure!
One had to know that Nuwa had yet to attain enlightenment, much less create humans. The human race did not even have a shadow yet!
By all rights, the Kongtong Seal should not have emerged at all!
Could it be that the wings of this butterfly called himself had completely disrupted the Primordial Wilderness's original course?
Su Ming forcibly suppressed his shock as all the information he knew about the Kongtong Seal flashed rapidly through his mind.
Although this treasure was a Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, its value and potential were in no way inferior to any Top-tier Innate Supreme Treasure!
It was the object that suppressed the human race's Destiny/Luck. Whoever controlled this seal would gain two-tenths of the human race's Destiny/Luck and possess the authority to depose and establish Human Emperors!
As the human race became the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, this treasure's might would also rise with the tide. In the end, it could even surpass the vast majority of Innate Supreme Treasures!
"I was human in my previous life. Though I am a member of the Wu Clan in this life, the human race's roots must not be severed!"
Su Ming's gaze instantly became incomparably resolute.
"The Kongtong Seal must not fall into another's hands! The fate of the human race should no longer be a pawn in the hands of the Saints!"
When he thought of the human race's tragic fate during the later Investiture of the Gods Tribulation and the Journey to the West Tribulation, an unnamed fire surged within Su Ming's heart.
In this life, he would not only make the Wu Clan stand atop the Primordial Wilderness; he would also fight for the human race and win it a future that would endure for eternity!
He was determined to obtain the Kongtong Seal!
On a mountain peak not far away.
The Three Pure Ones of Pangu stood side by side.
Their gazes likewise pierced through the endless void and landed on the golden seal above Shouyang Mountain.
"Hm?"
The proud Yuanshi Tianzun let out a soft exclamation, his brows faintly furrowing. "With such a tremendous phenomenon, I thought some earth-shaking supreme treasure had emerged. How is it... merely a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure?"
In his view, although the Kongtong Seal's aura was extraordinary, its rank seemed to fall within the category of Postnatal Spiritual Treasures. It was truly somewhat mismatched with such a world-shaking emergence.
Sect Master Tongtian, standing to the side, nodded as well, a trace of disappointment flashing through his eyes.
His fighting spirit had been soaring. He had thought that a Top-tier Innate Supreme Treasure would emerge, giving him a chance to compete for it and stretch his muscles. He had never expected it to be nothing more than thunder with little rain.
Only Laozi of Taiqing, standing at the head, had a profound light of wisdom flashing in his seemingly murky old eyes.
He stroked his long beard and slowly spoke, his voice ancient and distant.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, you are mistaken."
"This treasure is not simple."
"Its might has not yet been revealed. Great secrets and great creation are hidden within it."
Yuanshi and Tongtian were both stunned when they heard this. They focused their gazes on it again, but still could not discern anything.
Laozi did not offer any further explanation. However, a heat that no one could detect flashed through his deep eyes.
