Taking a Mount, the Heavenly Horse Clan

That day, Xuan Qing was leisurely roasting meat when suddenly—

"Boom!"

Something fell from the sky and smashed his roast meat. Before Xuan Qing could react, a streak of light shot at him from afar.

Xuan Qing casually used the divine ability Transform Solid into Void. Before the incoming attack could touch him, it was directly turned intangible and vanished.

"Brat, hand over the Heavenly Horse and your Spiritual Treasure. We can spare your life and let you leave. Otherwise, you'll die without a whole corpse!"

Dozens of figures flashed past as a group of bears and wolves surrounded him.

Originally, Xuan Qing had not wanted to interfere in their conflict. As long as they did not harm him, it was only some roast meat. He could just roast more.

He had only just arrived and knew nothing of the situation in the Prehistoric Era. If he accidentally offended some great figure, he would be finished. Xuan Qing felt it was best to keep a low profile.

This bear was so arrogant. There were only five Golden Immortals among them, three of whom were early-stage Golden Immortals, yet they still dared to spout such nonsense.

No wonder bears in later generations all looked rather stupid. Their ancestors were a bunch of blockheads—what could their descendants possibly inherit?

Still, Xuan Qing was curious about the Spiritual Treasure the bear had mentioned.

"What Spiritual Treasure?"

"Of course, your Spiritual Treasure. Judging by how you're dressed, you're no ordinary Golden Immortal. If you have any Innate Spiritual Treasures, hand them over and we'll let you go."

"Get lost!"

Xuan Qing could no longer hold it in. What kind of idiots filled this Prehistoric Era? How could such brainless creatures even survive?

In truth, the Prehistoric Era had countless races, with every kind imaginable. Under the suppression of Great Dao Law and Pangu's Dao aura, breakthroughs were extremely difficult.

The Fierce Beast War had ended only recently. Ninety percent of all living beings had perished, and not many Grand Luo Golden Immortals remained. They had all entered seclusion, leaving Grand Unity Golden Immortals as the publicly recognized experts.

Both the Bear Clan and Grey Wolf Clan had Grand Unity Golden Immortals, so their races were the strongest in this area. Over time, they had developed the habit of acting superior to others.

Xuan Qing then circulated his Magic Power and revealed his Early Stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation. In an instant, he killed every enemy around him.

"So poor. Not even one Innate Spiritual Treasure, yet they sure knew how to shout."

Xuan Qing cursed in dissatisfaction.

He put away the two Golden Immortal Bear Clan members he had used for roasting meat and walked straight toward the Heavenly Horse.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!"

The Heavenly Horse panted heavily as he thanked Xuan Qing.

There were only four forms of address in the Prehistoric Era. Those of the same realm called one another Daoist Friend; those one major realm higher were called Senior; those one major realm lower were called Junior Friend; everyone else was an ant.

Xuan Qing raised a hand, and Manipulate Creation enveloped the Heavenly Horse. His injuries instantly healed, and his aura stabilized.

"What is your name? Whose territory is this?"

"Senior, my name is Bai Yu. This used to be territory controlled by the Ten Thousand Races Alliance. I was born only after the Fierce Beast War. According to the elders of my clan:

"Ninety percent of living beings died in the Fierce Beast War, and the Ten Thousand Races Alliance directly disbanded. This place is now ruled by the Earth Bear, the Moonlit Grey Wolf, and our Heavenly Horse Clan."

"Those just now were the Earth Bear and Moonlit Grey Wolf? Those names sound impressive enough. Did the Fierce Beasts knock their brains loose?" Xuan Qing was somewhat annoyed. His good mood had been completely ruined.

It seemed Grand Luo Golden Immortals were simply too scarce. With Grand Unity Golden Immortals overseeing them, the two clans had begun acting tyrannically.

"Why were they hunting you down?"

"Senior, some time ago, our Heavenly Horse Clan discovered a great formation. While breaking it, we were accidentally discovered by the Bear Clan. The Bear Clan joined forces with the Grey Wolf Clan to ambush us. I escaped at that time."

"A great formation? Take me to see it." Xuan Qing had not been interested in their conflict, but if there was a formation, perhaps there were treasures inside. It was worth investigating.

Xuan Qing had taken form from three great Origins, and the Green Lotus of Creation suppressed his Auspicious Qi. He had been born with immense fortune.

"With such a powerful Root Origin, I shouldn't have only the Green Lotus of Creation. Although I was born later than Hongjun and the others, I can't possibly be that far inferior to them. I should at least have some Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Roots."

Xuan Qing was rather unusual. The Dao Coffin of Time and Space had come with him from his previous life, the Chaos Spiritual Root had been collected by him from Chaos, and the Innate Spiritual Roots on the island had evolved from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree and Chaos Fragments.

Strictly speaking, Xuan Qing's new life had given him only the Green Lotus of Creation. If not for Great God Pangu, even the Green Lotus of Creation would not have been his.

After muttering to himself for a while, Xuan Qing felt his reasoning was sound. Heaven and Earth Demon Gods were all beings of great fortune. For example:

Hongjun had taken form from Innate Clear Qi. Aside from the Pangu Banner, he possessed several Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. During his travels through the Prehistoric Era, he had collected countless Innate Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Roots.

Luohu had taken form from the Earth's Turbid Qi and also possessed the God-Slaying Spear, the World-Destroying Black Lotus, and more. In the end, he had even obtained a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.

Old Ancestor Yin Yang had taken form from Innate Yin Yang Qi and also possessed the Taiji Diagram, Taiji Compass, Taiji Sword, and more.

Old Ancestor Qian Kun, who had taken form from Innate Qiankun Qi, was also wealthy. Aside from the Qiankun Cauldron, he had the Qian Kun Diagram, Qian Kun Ruler, Universe Ring, and an entire set of Spiritual Treasures.

Xuan Qing did not dwell on it. He had Bai Yu point out the direction, grabbed him, and used Soaring Earth Golden Light to fly toward the great formation.

"What? The little Heavenly Horse went back to fetch reinforcements?"

The moment Xuan Qing and Bai Yu landed, they discovered that the experts of both clans were gathered there. Their method of breaking the formation was extremely simple: they used brute force to continuously wear it down until its formation base could no longer hold.

However, there was a drawback to breaking a formation this way. It would damage the formation base. If the treasures inside the formation were also part of the formation base, they would likewise be destroyed.

There were only two Grand Unity Golden Immortals here. Xuan Qing's powerful foundation was not something they could contend with, and the pressure of his Middle Stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation instantly swept across the entire area.

"Fellow Daoists, the things inside this formation are fated for me. Why not yield them to me and spare us the trouble of fighting?"

The two Grand Unity Golden Immortal experts were no fools. Both had experienced the Fierce Beast Tribulation and could see that Xuan Qing was extraordinary. He was also a Middle Stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, so they did not dare offend him lightly.

"Daoist Friend, both of us are Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and we have many experts from our clans with us. You are alone. This is not something you can handle."

So they still had to fight. Neither of them was willing to give up this opportunity. With a wave of his hand, Xuan Qing put Bai Yu away, afraid that he would be killed by the aftershocks of battle.

"Daoist Friend, let us settle this with a fight!"

Xuan Qing immediately sent a strand of Magic Power at the two of them. Whoever struck first gained the advantage; whoever struck later suffered. This was Xuan Qing's first battle since taking form, so he had to go all out.

The two each brought out a Spiritual Treasure for defense. The battle's aftershocks swept outward, and members of the two clans who failed to escape in time were directly shredded by the scattered energy.

"You deserve to die!" The bear and wolf were so enraged that they immediately circulated their Magic Power and charged at Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing used Soaring Earth Golden Light to evade their attacks. He flashed behind the Earth Bear and drove a fist into his back.

"Bang!"

A streak of light flashed past, and the Earth Bear was punched straight into the ground.

After testing his physical body, Xuan Qing found it quite formidable. With physical strength alone, he could contend with ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals. He felt that ordinary creatures could no longer adequately test his strength.

Before the two could react, one of them had already been knocked down. This was an expert. Regret filled their hearts. Had they known, they should have given up long ago.

Xuan Qing did not care about any of that. Seeing that the Grey Wolf had no time to defend himself, he delivered a full-force kick into him. The two were blasted together, worsening their injuries.

"Daoist Friend, we give up. The opportunity is yours. We will not fight for it anymore."

The Grey Wolf hurriedly begged for mercy. Xuan Qing had taken them both down in two moves using only his physical body. If he used Magic Power, how could they possibly survive?

Xuan Qing stopped and released a bewildered Bai Yu, then looked at the two with a smile.

"I killed many of your clansmen and stole your opportunity. You don't hate me? You won't seek revenge on me later?"

"We wouldn't dare. Our clans each have only one injured Grand Unity Golden Immortal left. If we die here, our clans will likely have no good days ahead."

"Senior, you must not spare them! The Grey Wolf Clan is full of ungrateful wretches. Our Heavenly Horse Clan helped them before, yet now they turned around and slaughtered us. The Bear Clan is not very bright and follows their orders. They are all cut from the same cloth."

The Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Grey Wolf Clan glared furiously at Bai Yu, wishing he could tear him apart.

Oh, so that was what had happened. Xuan Qing had not intended to go too far after they abandoned the fight, but looking at the situation now, none of them were good people. He was not afraid of trouble, but he hated trouble.

One look at the Grey Wolf's expression told him Bai Yu was telling the truth. Looking at the members of the two clans fleeing in all directions, Xuan Qing directly brought out the Green Lotus of Creation, enveloped every enemy, and activated it with all his Magic Power.

A burst of green light flashed. Other than Bai Yu, not a single living being remained on the battlefield.

"Hand over a wisp of your True Spirit, and forget everything you just saw."

Bai Yu had brought him this opportunity, so Xuan Qing certainly could not kill him.

Hearing this, Bai Yu hurriedly handed over a wisp of his True Spirit, afraid that he too would be silenced.

Luohu's World-Destroying Black Lotus and Hongjun's Golden Lotus of Merit had shone brilliantly during the Fierce Beast War, and the entire Prehistoric Era had heard of them. Now that another Lotus Throne had appeared, it had to be a treasure of the same kind.

There were only five Lotus Seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus in the Prehistoric Era. With such obvious characteristics, it had to be the yet-unborn Green Lotus of Creation.

"Middle-stage Golden Immortal. Your spiritual qi and life force are vigorous, and you are naturally close to Innate Spiritual Roots. From now on, go to my Dao Field and help tend the Spiritual Roots."

Hearing this, Bai Yu felt that his master was no ordinary figure. Not only was he immensely powerful, but he also possessed the legendary Green Lotus of Creation. His future was limitless. If Bai Yu followed him now, his own future would certainly be bright.

Ignoring Bai Yu's little thoughts, Xuan Qing put away the two Innate Spiritual Treasures. One was a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Sword with nine restrictions, while the other was a Mid-grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure robe.

Xuan Qing curled his lip, feeling that those two were far too poor. What kind of junk was this? Even if he gave it to Qing Ling and the others, they probably would not care for it. He casually tossed it to Bai Yu.

"It's yours."

Joy fell from the heavens for Bai Yu. His master had just taken him in and already given him a Spiritual Treasure. He was far too generous. How could Bai Yu know that Xuan Qing simply looked down on it?

"Thank you, Master. Bai Yu will certainly serve you with all his heart."

"Don't call me master. It sounds uncomfortable. Just call me old master from now on."

Xuan Qing did not want a male Heavenly Horse calling him Master every day. It was far too uncomfortable.
