After leaving the Phoenix Clan with an unsolved mystery, Luo Qing fled a hundred thousand miles without stopping.

He then found a secluded, inconspicuous small mountain, dug out a cave, and hid himself.

With various concealment methods in place, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal passing by would not be discovered unless they looked very closely.

Luo Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason he had been so eager to escape Hundred Gods Mountain was to avoid the Phoenix Clan's intentions.

With Hun Xing as a major enemy before, his acceptance of the Phoenix Clan's overtures was merely a temporary measure.

Now that Hun Xing was dead, Luo Qing naturally no longer wished to be close to the Phoenix Clan.

What if the Phoenix Clan forced him to join them? Wouldn't he become a slave within the Phoenix Clan?

Putting the matter of the Phoenix Clan aside for the moment, Luo Qing excitedly began to check his spoils of war.

First, he had killed four Golden Immortals in the middle and late stages, and then annihilated Ancestor Hun Xing, the master of Hundred Gods Mountain.

He had also inherited the spoils of four Golden Immortal "senior brothers."

All in all, Luo Qing had plundered the wealth of eight Golden Immortals and one Grand Unity.

Not to mention a large pile of Innate Treasures and six or seven low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

With Luo Qing's Golden Immortal cultivation, treasured artifacts were no longer worth his attention.

Even low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures were not particularly rare; as long as the materials were complete, Luo Qing could refine them at will.

However, a large pile of spiritual materials containing the Origin of the Great Dao made Luo Qing overjoyed.

Compared to the Acquired Spiritual Treasures he had confiscated, Luo Qing preferred spiritual materials more.

There were piles of other cultivation resources, but for Luo Qing, many were useless.

The biggest gain, however, was this Innate Spiritual Treasure from Ancestor Hun Xing's hand.

[Five Source Spirit Disk]

Quality: Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure

Description: A Five Elements placenta born from the Five Elements Great Dao, it can balance the Five Elements, allow them to circulate, and absorb and assimilate the origins of the five elements.

Seeing the appraisal description of this treasure, Luo Qing frowned.

No wonder Ancestor Hun Xing, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, could come up with a method to assimilate the origins of the Five Elements Godly Beings to transform his own foundation.

It turned out he relied entirely on this Five Source Spirit Disk.

However, this Spiritual Treasure was only useful for gods like Hun Xing who originated from the Five Elements Great Dao.

For an Immortal like Luo Qing, who solely cultivated the Great Dao of Fire, its effect was not as significant.

The key function of this treasure was to balance and circulate the Five Elements.

Luo Qing's origin of fire did not need balancing or circulation at all!

After all, it was an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Even if it wasn't ideal, it could still serve as a defensive Spiritual Treasure for protection.

Luo Qing, who currently possessed five Innate Spiritual Treasures, felt rather awkward.

Damn it, not a single one of the five Spiritual Treasures was fire-attributed.

If it weren't for the fact that the four Innate Spiritual Rings were born from the same origin as Luo Qing, and the treasured artifact Fire Spirit Ring served as a regulator in the middle.

It would have been truly difficult for Luo Qing to wield the four Innate Spiritual Rings as easily as his own arms.

Just like now, even though Luo Qing had completely refined the Five Source Spirit Disk.

But due to the incompatibility of attributes, when operating it, it was not as smooth as the Five Elements Spiritual Rings.

After organizing his gains, Luo Qing finally focused his attention on himself.

He had only just broken through to Golden Immortal, a Golden Immortal, and had fought two consecutive battles, his cultivation had become unstable.

Not daring to be careless, Luo Qing began his first closed-door cultivation after becoming a Golden Immortal in this remote location.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.

The place where Luo Qing had entered seclusion finally welcomed the sound of a stone door opening.

Spotless, like a graceful jade immortal, with a divine and imposing presence, Luo Qing emerged from the temporary Cave Mansion.

After a thousand years of cultivation, Luo Qing had only managed to stabilize his Golden Immortal cultivation, sweeping away all his restlessness.

"The cultivation of a Golden Immortal is truly arduous!"

Luo Qing sighed. Over the past thousand years, his cultivation progress had been minimal.

The accumulation of quantity was secondary; even if Golden Immortals required vast amounts of essence, there were always ways to fill it.

But for Golden Immortal cultivation, the accumulation of energy was only one aspect.

More important were the insights into the Great Dao, the understanding and mastery of the laws of the Dao.

As an Innate God, possessing the Innate Chi Wang Fire God Dharma Form.

Flames of law were constantly being integrated into the Chi Wang Dharma Form.

But the Chi Wang Dharma Form's status was only at the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Its speed of absorbing flame laws was too slow. If it proceeded step by step, it would take several Eras before it could even touch the threshold of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

At this moment, Luo Qing had the idea of embarking on a long journey.

To accelerate his Golden Immortal cultivation, he still needed to rely on the Eye of the Great Dao.

However, this region was too barren, and there weren't many Innate Treasures that could accumulate experience for the Eye of the Great Dao.

Innate Treasures could no longer bring Luo Qing any surprises since he had advanced to Golden Immortal.

The Eye of the Great Dao's analysis speed for Innate Treasures had increased dozens of times.

It took about a year to complete the analysis of one item.

Now, treasured artifacts were merely a channel for Luo Qing to accumulate Innate Runes and Innate Treasure Restrictions.

And one Spiritual Treasure could supplement the Eye of the Great Dao dozens of times more than a treasured artifact.

Luo Qing urgently wished to witness more Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Once the idea of a long journey arose, he could no longer suppress it.

With the chaos of Fierce Beasts quelled, Golden Immortals were now qualified to traverse the Primordial Era lands.

"It's decided!"

Luo Qing solidified his resolve.

If he stayed in this region to be a king, by the time he became a Grand Unity Golden Immortal and emerged, there would likely be Great Luo Immortals everywhere outside.

However, even with the plan for a long journey, Luo Qing wasn't going to set off immediately.

He glanced in the direction of the Five Elements Tribe's original territory.

The only thing he couldn't let go of was the Five Elements Tribe that had moved away years ago.

Luo Qing's figure flickered, and the Cave Mansion beneath his feet instantly collapsed.

As he passed by Hundred Gods Mountain, Luo Qing cast a distant glance at it.

He saw a phantom of a fire phoenix hovering above Hundred Gods Mountain in the void.

As Luo Qing had expected, after Hun Xing's death, the Phoenix Clan had occupied Hundred Gods Mountain.

Regardless, Hundred Gods Mountain ruled over hundreds of thousands of miles of land. With no leader, the Phoenix Clan would certainly not let such a prize go.

"With the remnants of the Fierce Beasts wiped out, the lives of the gods in the southern region of the Primordial Era are likely to become even more difficult!"

Luo Qing muttered as he looked at the phoenix phantom.

Compared to the Fierce Beasts who only knew how to kill, the intelligent Phoenix and Avian races were more overbearing and harder to deal with.

This was also one of the reasons Luo Qing wanted to leave the southern region.

As Luo Qing, an Innate Fire God, he was naturally at odds with the Fire Spirit Phoenix Clan, as long as he was unwilling to be subservient to others.

The Divine Path was a road that became increasingly narrow the higher one climbed.

One Great Dao had a fixed width; if you occupied more, others would have less.

In the Gold God and Grand Unity stages, this was not yet apparent.

But at the Great Luo stage, walking the Divine Path required contention for the Dao.

Further on, at the Hunyuan stage, a single Great Dao might only allow a few or even just one person to ascend.

Unless one was willing to remain subordinate to others, the Divine Path would ultimately lead to a life-or-death struggle.

This was perhaps one of the reasons why the Immortal Path later gained prominence.

The Great Dao of the Gods was already occupied by their predecessors. Late-born divine beings, if they didn't want to overthrow their superiors, had no choice but to abandon the Divine Path and cultivate the Immortal Path.

Luo Qing naturally would not abandon his Divine Path cultivation, nor was he willing to be subservient to others and become their subordinate god.

Therefore, he and the Phoenix Clan were destined not to be on the same path.

He cast a deep glance at the phoenix phantom, then turned and headed towards the original territory of the Five Elements Tribe.
