Buzhou Mountain.
Within the small world inside that innate formation.
Qin Mu was refining the restrictions of the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd.
This Purple Gold Chaos Gourd, nourished by Chaos Liquid, had reached the rank of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
And a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure contained a full forty-eight innate restrictions.
The more restrictions refined, the greater the power of the magic treasure when wielded.
Time slipped by silently.
Unnoticed, many years passed.
Now, within the small world, Qin Mu slowly opened his eyes.
"Forty-eight innate restrictions, and I've refined sixteen of them."
"That should barely be enough to unleash the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd's might."
Qin Mu muttered to himself, then put away the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd floating before him.
Next, his gaze shifted to the Innate Gourd Vine.
"Though all the gourds on this Innate Gourd Vine have been picked."
"It's still one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots."
"I wonder if it can still nurture seven new gourds?"
After thinking it over, a hint of resolve flashed in Qin Mu's eyes. He raised a hand, and an invisible surge of magic power instantly infused the Innate Gourd Vine.
When he looked again, the Innate Gourd Vine had already been collected by Qin Mu.
"If I open a Red Packet next time and get Chaos Liquid again, I might as well give it a try."
"If the Innate Gourd Vine can bear innate gourds once more, that would be a huge win."
Having stored the Innate Gourd Vine, Qin Mu let out a long breath and sighed:
"Time to leave."
Then, without further thought, he passed straight through the innate formation and walked out of this small world.
But what Qin Mu hadn't expected at all.
Was that the moment he stepped out of the innate formation, fierce attacks came hurtling at him from three different directions.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three attacks arrived in an instant.
A blazing magic fire dragon, a freezing magic sword qi, and a sinister magic poison mist.
In less than a breath, the three magic attacks struck right in front of Qin Mu.
"Oh?"
Seeing this, Qin Mu's brows darkened sharply.
He hadn't anticipated that, just as he emerged from the innate formation, three vicious attacks would greet him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Before Qin Mu could think further, the three attacks slammed into him almost simultaneously.
Deafening explosions rang out, magic power surged and churned endlessly, and even time and space twisted under the shock.
Soon, the tremors subsided, and the dust and mist cleared.
Looking closely, Qin Mu still stood rooted to the spot, his whole body unscathed, not a single hair harmed.
Ever since entering Buzhou Mountain, he had been using the pressure here to temper his flesh.
Now, his physical strength was comparable even to a magic treasure!
Though those three attacks were fierce, they couldn't break through his body.
After all, before entering Buzhou Mountain, Qin Mu had already defeated the Great Witch Kuafu of the Witch Clan with pure physical power!
Then, Qin Mu turned his gaze, sweeping out coldly.
Looking over, he saw three figures standing not far away.
They were none other than the Green Robe Daoist, the Red Robe Daoist, and the Black Robe Daoist, who had arrived here before him.
"This?"
"He's not dead?"
"He withstood the magic attacks of all three of us with just his physical body?"
The three of them were stunned to see Qin Mu completely unharmed.
They had not expected his physical body to have grown so formidable.
In their estimation, the three fierce attacks they had just unleashed should have been more than enough to slay a mid-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
Qin Mu's expression darkened slightly when he saw who they were.
After a moment's thought, he understood.
He had broken through the Innate Formation and entered the small world within, obtaining a tremendous opportunity.
These three, on the other hand, had spent over ten thousand years comprehending it without gaining a thing.
Naturally, they would think of killing him and seizing his treasure!
Just as Qin Mu was pondering this, the Green Robe Daoist's gaze turned cold as he addressed Qin Mu directly:
"Daoist friend."
"For the sake of our past acquaintance."
"Hand over the treasure immediately, and I will spare your life!"
Earlier, when they saw that Qin Mu had broken through the Innate Formation and entered it in only three hundred years, the three of them, including the Green Robe Daoist, had been greatly shocked.
At that time, they had already agreed among themselves.
Once Qin Mu emerged from the formation, they would join forces to seize whatever treasures he carried.
All three of them were late-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, while Qin Mu was merely mid-stage.
Hearing the Green Robe Daoist's words, Qin Mu smiled faintly and said:
"You want the treasure?"
"Then here it is!"
As he spoke, Qin Mu casually turned his hand over, and a gourd floated out from his palm.
It was none other than the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure he had obtained from the small world—the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd!
"Boom!"
The moment the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd appeared, it radiated a terrifying aura, wreathed in Chaos Qi, with treasure light soaring to the heavens!
"This... this is an Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
"So he really did obtain a great opportunity!"
"That opportunity should have been ours!"
Seeing the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd in Qin Mu's hand, the three immediately recognized its quality as an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
For a moment, all three stared with blazing eyes, consumed by greed.
After all, an Innate Spiritual Treasure was no ordinary object.
Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal might not necessarily possess such a treasure.
Moreover, in the future, when severing a corpse to attain the Dao and stepping into the Quasi-Saint realm, one would also need an Innate Spiritual Treasure to entrust their Primordial Spirit.
"Haha!"
"Heaven helps me!"
Amidst their shock, the Red Robe Daoist couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, his eyes fixed on Qin Mu with undisguised greed.
Qin Mu paid it no mind and said coolly:
"If the three of you want this treasure."
"You'll have to see if you have the skill to take it."
"But..."
He paused briefly, then added with a disdainful expression:
"Three mere late-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortals."
"Plotting to kill and steal treasures."
"Don't you think you're overestimating yourselves?"
The moment these words left Qin Mu's mouth, the three Primordial Unity Golden Immortals all changed expression.
After all, Qin Mu himself was only a mid-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal—how dare he speak such words in front of the three of them?
"Hmph!"
After a brief silence, the Green Robe Daoist couldn't hold back a cold snort:
"You're merely a mid-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, yet you dare speak such nonsense?"
"Take my magic treasure!"
With a sharp shout, the Green Robe Daoist waved his hand, his mana surging wildly, and a long sword was immediately summoned, flying straight toward Qin Mu to strike him down.
Qin Mu's expression remained utterly calm.
He simply threw a punch at the Green Robe Daoist.
Boom!
The power of the fourth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill erupted. Thirty-six strands of chaotic Sword Qi coiled around his fist.
One punch—and the void collapsed!
The long sword that had been slashing toward Qin Mu met the blow, and in a single clash, it was shattered into pieces!
The terrifying force of the punch did not diminish!
In less than an instant, it slammed down before the Green Robe Daoist.
"Ah?"
The Green Robe Daoist's eyes bulged wide, disbelief flooding his face.
Bang!
Before he could even recover his wits, the dreadful fist force crashed into his body.
A deafening sonic boom followed.
The Green Robe Daoist's physical form exploded outright, while his Primordial Spirit was shredded by the Sword Qi on the fist's edge.
Thus, a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal fell, utterly annihilated.
