Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt.
Primordial Violet Qi?
Wasn't this supposed to be the opportunity for the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's disciples to become Saints, distributed only after Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao in the future?
How had it appeared in Buzhou Mountain now?
Could his own appearance have triggered a butterfly effect?
However, he did not dwell on it for long.
Who cared why it had appeared? Since his system had detected it, there was only one word.
"Plunder!"
Su Ming silently thought.
[Plunder successful!] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the entry: Primordial Violet Qi!]
The next moment, a purple stream of qi about a foot long appeared out of thin air before him. Profound Dao Rhythm swirled around it, and it radiated an aura that made all the ten thousand Daos submit.
This was Primordial Violet Qi!
If any Quasi-Saint expert saw this item, they would probably fight for it at any cost.
Because it represented a broad path leading to becoming a Primordial Saint!
However, when Su Ming looked at the Primordial Violet Qi before him, his brows lifted slightly.
It was certainly a good thing.
It could even be said to be one of the most precious treasures in the Primordial Wilderness.
But to him... it seemed somewhat useless.
The path he wanted to take was the same as Pangu's.
Prove Dao by Force!
With absolute strength, break through all shackles and transcend above the Heavenly Dao!
Yet this Primordial Violet Qi came from the Heavenly Dao. If one used it to become a Saint, one would remain beneath the Heavenly Dao forever and be constrained by it.
That ran counter to his Dao.
"Forget it. Although I have no use for it, this is still a good thing."
Su Ming waved his hand casually and collected the Primordial Violet Qi into his inner space.
Whether he used it to trade with others or bestowed it upon his subordinates in the future, it would be a good choice.
After putting away the Primordial Violet Qi, Su Ming's state of mind remained completely undisturbed, as though he had merely picked up an inconspicuous pebble.
His gaze turned once more toward the depths of Buzhou Mountain.
This foremost divine mountain had only just begun revealing the tip of the iceberg to him.
Since even Primordial Violet Qi had appeared, where were the legendary Innate Banana Tree and Innate Gourd Vine?
A thousand years later.
Buzhou Mountain.
Su Ming's figure appeared once more.
He closed his eyes and stirred his thoughts.
His Spiritual Sense spread out like a tide, covering an area of hundreds of millions of li.
When he opened his eyes again, a trace of disappointment appeared on his face.
Over the past thousand years, he had searched Buzhou Mountain but found nothing.
"Has it been concealed by the Heavenly Dao...?"
Su Ming stood atop the mountain, his brows slightly furrowed.
He could sense that the laws of the Great Dao here were exceptionally active, yet they were shrouded by an even grander, invisible force that blocked all probing.
Clearly, the supreme treasure hidden within the mountain had not yet reached the time to emerge.
Spiritual treasures depended on Fate/Karma. They could not be forced.
Su Ming was quite decisive. Since he could not obtain them for the time being, he would first plunder Buzhou Mountain.
As Pangu's spine and the foremost divine mountain of the Primordial Wilderness, the natural treasures here were absolutely beyond imagination.
Time was the least valuable thing in the Primordial Wilderness.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
During those thousand years, Su Ming had practically plundered the entire outskirts of Buzhou Mountain.
His harvest was extremely abundant.
Millennium-old medicines and ten-thousand-year-old spiritual essences filled several storage spaces. He had even found several Acquired Spiritual Roots. Their grades were not high, but they made up for it with their numbers.
Yet he had not even seen the shadow of an Innate Spiritual Treasure he had anticipated.
"Those Primordial Wilderness novels from my past life really were all lies!"
Su Ming sat cross-legged on a huge rock, looking at the pile of spiritual materials of decent quality before him. He could not help complaining.
Weren't they supposed to say that treasures were everywhere in Buzhou Mountain, and that one could kick an Innate Spiritual Treasure after taking just a few steps?
He had nearly scraped off a layer of the mountain's surface. Forget Innate Spiritual Treasures—even the slightest trace of an Innate Spiritual Root had escaped him.
"Could I be using the wrong method?"
Su Ming began to doubt himself, but immediately cast the thought out of his mind.
He possessed the Heart of Pangu and shared a source with Buzhou Mountain. If even he could not find anything, then there were probably few people in the Primordial Wilderness who could obtain a fortuitous opportunity here.
At this thought,
the stubborn streak in his personality flared up.
Couldn't find anything?
Then he would keep looking!
If a carpet search did not work, then he would dig three feet into the ground!
He refused to believe that vast Buzhou Mountain was truly so "barren"!
Another several decades of painstaking searching passed.
On this day, Su Ming was investigating a deep valley when the dormant Heart of Pangu within him suddenly trembled lightly, without warning.
Buzz!
An exceedingly mysterious tremor, resonating with both his bloodline and his soul, came from some unknown direction.
That sensation vanished in a flash.
It happened so quickly that Su Ming almost thought it had been an illusion.
He abruptly stopped and closed his eyes, his mind instantly sinking into the deepest state of meditation.
It was not an illusion!
That tremor just now had originated from the Heart of Pangu. There could be no mistake!
It was a supreme treasure related to him!
And it was highly likely to be a top-tier treasure related to Pangu, about to emerge!
Su Ming's heart instantly burned with excitement.
He abandoned his previous needle-in-a-haystack method of searching. His entire body stood motionless in the valley like a stone statue, all his aura restrained as he immersed his mind completely in communicating with the Heart of Pangu.
What he needed to do was wait.
Wait for that resonance to appear again.
The Primordial Wilderness knew no years.
A thousand years passed.
Although Su Ming's luck was poor,
his patience exceeded imagination.
At last, this day arrived.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced the clouds and spilled into the valley, that familiar tremor came again!
This time, it was several times clearer than before!
It was this direction!
Su Ming's eyes snapped open, and a divine radiance tore through the void.
Without the slightest hesitation, he moved and sped toward the direction from which the sensation had come.
The resonance came and went, erratic and elusive.
Su Ming could only follow his feeling, stopping and starting as he went.
He headed east, passing through a mountain range shrouded in thunderclouds.
He was completely immersed in this pursuit, forgetting the passage of time.
After spending a hundred years, he arrived before an apparently ordinary stone wall.
The resonance was stronger here than ever before, almost as though it would force the Heart of Pangu out of his body!
The source was right behind this stone wall!
Yet no matter how he investigated, the stone wall was nothing more than ordinary mountain rock, without the slightest trace of an array or restriction.
"Space Force?"
Su Ming pondered thoughtfully.
Just as he was preparing to use brute force to break through the stone wall, the Heart of Pangu in his chest suddenly emitted an almost imperceptible halo of mysterious yellow light.
Buzz—
The stone wall ahead rippled like water.
A gentle yet irresistible suction force swept over, and Su Ming's figure was instantly pulled inside.
The scene before his eyes shifted violently.
The next moment, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space.
This place seemed like a paradise beyond the mortal world.
Innate Spiritual Qi so dense that it had almost solidified filled the air. Each breath carried the fragrance of grass and trees, washing through his limbs and bones.
Strange flowers and exotic plants covered the ground. Any one of them was at least a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine.
A clear stream flowed gently nearby. The water within it actually contained incomparably pure Essence of Innate Gui Water.
What a Blessed Land Cave Heaven!
Yet Su Ming's gaze did not linger over these spiritual medicines or spiritual waters for even a moment.
His eyes locked firmly onto the very center of the valley.
The source of that resonance that had haunted his dreams was right there!
In a pool filled with swirling spiritual qi, a green lotus was quietly blooming.
The green lotus was entirely a warm Chaos Azure color. Upon its Lotus Platform were exactly thirty-six petals—no more, no less!
Every lotus leaf seemed to bear an entire world, and every thread of swaying azure light radiated endless Power of Creation.
Dao Rhythm Innate, divine radiance restrained.
Just looking at it made Su Ming feel his soul being cleansed, while his comprehension of the Great Dao rapidly improved!
Su Ming's breathing stopped at this moment.
In his eyes erupted indescribable shock and delight!
Just then, the system's notification sounded in his mind as expected!
[Beep! A top-tier entry has been detected!] [Top-tier Innate Supreme Treasure!] [Thirty-Six-Petaled Creation Green Lotus!] [Description: This treasure was formed from one of the nine lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus after the Chaos Supreme Treasure shattered. It contains supreme Power of Creation and is a top-tier Innate Supreme Treasure!]
Boom!
Su Ming's mind was rocked by a thunderclap!
Thirty-Six-Petaled Creation Green Lotus!
It really was it!
