Innate treasure light drifts from the chaos, is it something good?

In the days after breaking through to High-level Chaos, Lin Yue lived a fulfilling and busy life.

Every morning, he would first cultivate for an hour beside the Innate Spirit Spring, using its energy to consolidate his recently breakthrough cultivation. A pale golden vortex spun steadily in his dantian, growing more solid with each rotation. In the morning, he would use a stone pick to clear the debris around the cave, moving sharp-edged rocks that could hinder his cultivation to a distant ravine. This seemingly simple task was excellent for honing his control over his newly breakthrough power—the strength of High-level Chaos was far greater than mid-level, and a slight lapse in attention could lead to excessive force and unnecessary destruction.

In the afternoon, Lin Yue would go to the energy rock area on the east side of the cave to collect resources. Scattered there were many rocks containing Chaos energy, some dark purple, others shimmering silver, each with different energy attributes. Following Pangu's previous instructions, he only selected rocks with relatively mild energy, suitable for absorption at his current stage, and carried them back to the cave in a specially made basket, stacking them neatly in a corner. These rocks were important cultivation aids, capable of replenishing energy when the Innate Spirit Spring's power was insufficient and serving as a temporary energy source in future emergencies.

In just a few days, the environment around the cave was completely transformed. The previously messy gravel was cleared, revealing a flat ground; energy rocks were neatly sorted and stacked, emitting a faint glow; even the bluestone beside the Innate Spirit Spring was wiped spotless by Lin Yue. Pangu showed no reaction, but Lin Yue noticed that the Senior's usual meditation spot seemed to be a little closer to the Innate Spirit Spring than before.

This afternoon, Lin Yue was busy in the energy rock area. He had just used his stone pick to pry open a piece of red rock embedded in the cave wall—this type of rock contained energy with a faint fire attribute, which, while not suitable for direct absorption, could be used to aid in condensing offensive spells—when suddenly, a flash of strange light caught his eye in the distant Chaos currents.

He straightened up abruptly, following the light, and his heart skipped a beat.

Hundreds of feet away, within the Chaos clouds, a wisp of pale purple treasure light was slowly drifting. The light was not dazzling but possessed an indescribable allure, as if containing the primordial essence from the beginning of creation. Even more peculiar was that wherever it passed, the surrounding violent Chaos currents seemed to part like subjects before their ruler, automatically yielding to both sides and forming an unobstructed passage.

"Is this... Innate Treasure Light?" Lin Yue's breathing quickened. He recalled what the Spirit Wood Daoist had said: "In Chaos, when supreme treasures emerge, they are often accompanied by Innate Treasure Light. The treasure light contains the aura of laws and can make worldly energies retreat; it is a rare and precious opportunity."

The Spirit Wood Daoist had also said that anything capable of attracting Innate Treasure Light was at least a treasure of the Innate Spirit Treasure level, or perhaps even a Chaos marvel containing complete laws. For cultivators, such treasures could not only greatly enhance their cultivation but also help them comprehend laws, serving as crucial catalysts for breaking through realms.

Lin Yue's heart pounded, his palms sweating slightly. He instinctively wanted to rush forward to chase the treasure light, but after taking a step, he abruptly stopped.

"Wait..." He forced himself to calm down. "Chaos is fraught with danger. Such obvious treasure light will surely attract other beings. Although I've broken through to High-level, I may not be a match for other powerful individuals. Besides, the Senior said to act cautiously and not to be overly ambitious."

He remembered the Chaos Demonic Wolf he had encountered before; if not for Pangu's intervention, he would likely have perished. This time, the treasure light's influence was wider, and the beings it attracted would only be stronger. Rushing forward would be no different from seeking death.

"I'll go back and tell the Senior first!" Lin Yue decided instantly. He glanced once more at the slowly moving treasure light, memorizing its direction and speed, then quickly packed his tools and turned to sprint back towards the cave.

Upon returning to the cave, Lin Yue saw Pangu still sitting in his original spot and quickly approached him respectfully. "Senior, your disciple discovered a wisp of Innate Treasure Light in the rock area to the east. It's drifting in our direction, and it looks like a remarkable treasure!"

Pangu slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction Lin Yue indicated. Despite the thick Chaos clouds, his gaze seemed to penetrate all obstacles, perceiving the true nature of the treasure light. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly at Lin Yue, and uttered two words: "You may go."

With the Senior's permission, Lin Yue's concerns vanished. He knew that since Pangu agreed, he must have a way to handle any danger, at least ensuring his safety.

"Thank you, Senior!" Lin Yue replied excitedly and turned to leave, but Pangu stopped him with a look. He paused for a moment, then saw the Senior raise a finger and gently tap his brow.

A gentle yet profound energy surged into his brow, flowing through his meridians and throughout his body, finally merging with the Chaos Imprint in his dantian. Lin Yue immediately felt his body become much lighter, his senses sharpened considerably, and he could even faintly "hear" the sound of the distant Chaos currents flowing.

"Is this... the Senior bestowing a blessing upon me?" Lin Yue's heart warmed. After bowing respectfully again, he turned and quickly left the cave.

This time, he was not as impulsive as before. Instead, he circulated his Chaos energy, concealing his form within the surrounding Chaos currents, like a vigilant leopard, cautiously approaching the direction of the treasure light. His speed was swift, yet he maintained constant awareness of his surroundings, detecting any unusual energy fluctuations.

As the distance closed, the treasure light became clearer. Lin Yue could see that at the core of the treasure light seemed to be enveloped by a slender object, its outline vaguely resembling a sword. When he entered within a hundred feet of the treasure light, a sharp aura struck him, as if countless invisible swords were slicing through the air around him, causing his skin to prickle slightly.

"Sharpness Law..." Lin Yue's heart stirred. "Could this be the nascent form of an Innate Sword-type Spirit Treasure?"

Sword-type spirit treasures were the most compatible with the Sharpness Law. If he could obtain this treasure, his offensive capabilities would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Just as he was contemplating how to collect the treasure light, a few dark shadows flashed in the distant Chaos currents in his peripheral vision. The shadows moved extremely fast, hurtling towards the treasure light, their energy fluctuations subtle but carrying clear hostility.

"As expected, other beings have been attracted!" Lin Yue's heart tightened, and he dared not delay any longer. He increased his speed, simultaneously condensing Chaos energy in his palm, ready to fight at any moment. No matter what, he had to try for this treasure—not just to improve himself, but also to live up to Pangu's trust.

The treasure light was still moving slowly, less than fifty feet away from him. Lin Yue took a deep breath, a flicker of determination in his eyes, and shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
