A Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure!
It stands on the same level as the Heaven and Earth Yellow Exquisite Pagoda of the Taiqing Saint.
The Heaven and Earth Yellow Exquisite Pagoda focuses on defense; suspended above one's head, it renders one inherently invincible, granting the ability to be Invulnerable to All Dharmas, calming the mind, and assisting in cultivation.
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, however, is the exact opposite.
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler focuses on slaughter and extreme offense, capable of destroying all things, and killing without incurring Karma.
Furthermore, it possesses the ability to measure Qiankun and delineate laws, making it truly extraordinary.
The two swords of slaughter in the hands of Old Ancestor Styx, Yuantu and Abi, also possess the effect of killing without incurring Karma.
However, the two differ slightly.
The "killing without incurring Karma" of the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler is based on the power of merit to adjudicate and execute; it is judged as acting on behalf of Heaven, a form of merit-based exemption, and thus naturally does not stain one with Karma.
The Yuantu and Abi swords, on the other hand, are born to feed on Karma, refined by karmic fire, and belong to the Sea of Blood.
Thus, they achieve the state of killing without incurring Karma.
"I thought this Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler would be hidden in some extremely concealed place; I never expected it to just be stuck here."
Cangyuan smiled slightly.
Iron shoes are worn out in the search, only to find it without any effort.
Finding the goal of this trip directly is, of course, the best outcome.
Cangyuan immediately flew forward.
Sensing him, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler began to hum and vibrate, releasing wisps of mysterious yellow merit energy. Its laws were sharp, and its extreme edge made one hesitate to approach.
"I sense the aura of a spiritual treasure on you. Are you a spiritual treasure that has undergone Form Transformation?"
An ancient voice resonated in his heart; Cangyuan understood that the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler was speaking.
A spiritual treasure of its level could not possibly have failed to develop sentience.
Cangyuan performed a junior's salute: "Junior Cangyuan greets Senior Measuring Ruler."
"Hmm." The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler grunted, saying with interest: "You are a strange junior. How can you still understand the language of spiritual treasures after undergoing Form Transformation?"
After a spiritual treasure undergoes Form Transformation, it is basically no longer considered a pure spiritual treasure but a living being; therefore, such beings usually do not retain the ability to understand the language of spiritual treasures, yet the junior before it could.
This made the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler extremely curious.
Cangyuan did not know why this was the case either.
But he could indeed understand it.
"This junior does not know."
"Senior, this junior came here specifically to seek you out. I wonder if Senior would be willing to lend me a hand."
Cangyuan did not hide anything and stated his purpose directly.
He would have liked to force his way, but he was afraid of being sliced into french fries by the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler.
At the level of a Supreme Treasure, even without a master to control it, it was not something he could contend with.
"You are quite straightforward, little one."
"Very well, I am also quite curious about you, so I will follow you for a while."
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler laughed loudly.
The next instant, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, which had been stuck diagonally in the ground, rose straight up.
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, as large as a stone tablet, shrank in the wind, eventually transforming into a slender, sword-like ruler.
It flew before Cangyuan.
Cangyuan solemnly received the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler with both hands.
"Old Tree, won't you give a parting gift to an old friend?"
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler spoke again, but this time it was not directed at Cangyuan.
In the distance, the miraculous Dao Comprehension Tea Tree rustled, shaking down a sky full of tea leaves.
The quantity was so vast it was staggering.
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler said: "Kid, why aren't you going to collect them?"
"Got it."
Cangyuan beamed with joy.
This trip was not in vain.
Not only did he obtain a Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure, but he also acquired so many leaves from the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree.
Taking them back to drink himself or to offer to his master would both be excellent choices.
Cangyuan swept through the leaves like a gale, quickly gathering up all the Enlightenment Tea Leaves.
A full 12,960 leaves!
The Dao Comprehension Tea Tree had essentially shaken off every single leaf it possessed.
However, there was no need to worry about the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree suffering any damage from this.
If you can't find the book title, try searching for the author; perhaps the name has simply been changed!
Even if they weren't gifted to Cangyuan, these leaves would eventually fall to the ground, rot into the soil, and sprout a new batch, repeating the cycle indefinitely.
"This junior takes his leave."
Cangyuan poured a generous amount of Three Lights Divine Water for the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree, bowed to it, and turned to depart.
The branches and leaves of the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree swayed, colliding to produce a rustling sound, as if bidding farewell to an old friend, or perhaps scolding the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler for going off to have fun and ignoring it.
Cangyuan truly wanted to take the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree with him, but a Supreme Innate Spiritual Root could not be easily transplanted.
Doing so would damage its foundation.
Unless... a practitioner with great divine powers or even a Saint took action.
"Kid, head that way."
Cangyuan maintained a calm expression, following the guidance of the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler as he headed north.
After flying for some time.
Cangyuan saw a stone tablet in the distance engraved with the two characters "Penglai".
What they had seen when entering the island earlier was merely an island marker, used to inform the world of the location.
The one before him now was the true Penglai Realm Stele.
It was a vital object that, once refined, allowed one to control the entire realm!
Cangyuan did not hesitate; he immediately flew to the Penglai Realm Stele, sat cross-legged, and began to refine it.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Primordial World remained the same; nothing of note had occurred in those thousand years.
Penglai Immortal Island.
Cangyuan had successfully refined the Penglai Realm Stele!
Following the Fangzhang Immortal Island, Cangyuan had now become the master of Penglai Immortal Island as well.
Only Yingzhou Island remained.
If he could get his hands on that, Cangyuan would possess his own Three Immortal Island.
Currently, Yingzhou Island was in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor Dijun, and obtaining it from him would be no easy task.
But... couldn't he just wait until it wasn't in his hands?
After the fall of the Demon Race Heavenly Court, this Yingzhou Island would become ownerless; surely he could stake a claim as a disciple of a Saint?
Besides, it was only a damaged Yingzhou Island.
Let me see what that girl Bixiao is up to.
Cangyuan thought to himself.
After refining the realm stele, Cangyuan was omniscient and omnipotent within the island, able to see any location.
"Don't run!"
"You big bird, don't run!"
"Wait for me, be my mount!"
Cangyuan saw it.
At this moment, Bixiao was chasing a divine bird with all her might!
Its wingspan was like clouds hanging from the sky, its emerald feathers flowing with primordial cyan radiance, each one inscribed with Innate Dao patterns of the Law of Wind.
It cried out in a clear, melodious tone as it was chased by Bixiao, the Innate Xun Wind Qi swirling around its body tearing through the sea of clouds, with billions of strands of cyan light flowing like a reversed galaxy.
Cangyuan was stunned: "This is... a Qingluan?"
Indeed.
The divine bird being chased by Bixiao looked very much like a Qingluan Divine Bird.
It radiated the aura of a Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Logically speaking, at this cultivation level, it shouldn't be running all over the sky being chased by Bixiao.
However... although Bixiao only had the cultivation of an early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal, she was carrying a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Golden Phoenix Hairpin.
On top of that, she had another mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
The power of these two spiritual treasures allowed Bixiao to turn the tables.
She actually wanted to capture this Qingluan as her mount.
Cangyuan arrived before the Qingluan in an instant.
He blocked its path.
The Qingluan was greatly alarmed.
At this moment, it was being attacked from both front and back.
Seeing Cangyuan, Bixiao immediately became excited, the urgency on her small face vanishing as she joyfully shouted, "Junior Brother, help me catch this big bird!"
Cangyuan smiled gently, looking at the Qingluan as he asked with a laugh, "Fellow Daoist, would you like to leave this immortal island and go see the outside world?"
