Western World, Twin Yin-Yang Rods!

With a sweep of his divine sense at the late-Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage, the vast expanse of West Kunlun Mountain, spanning billions of li, was instantly enshrouded.

Within a Divine Pool, dense immortal qi surged as waters cascaded down from the Nine Heavens.

And at the center of this Divine Pool, a towering Flat Peach Tree stood in plain sight!

"Mo Wu, one hundred and eighty thousand li to the northwest—stop when you see the Divine Pool!"

Hearing Xie Fang's command, Mo Wu immediately spread his four hooves, clouds forming beneath them as he galloped wildly through West Kunlun Mountain.

Before even reaching the Divine Pool, a faint, lingering fragrance wafted through the air.

This scent, once inhaled, left one feeling light and clear-eyed!

Mo Wu followed the direction of the fragrance, charging ahead until he finally spotted the Divine Pool.

"Master, we've arrived."

Mo Wu snorted, opening his tiger-like eyes to gaze intently at the pool water. The rich Spiritual Qi emanating from the Flat Peach Tree within the pool invigorated him greatly.

"Master, there's actually a Spiritual Root here!"

Xie Fang nodded, lifting his head to look at the tall fruit tree already bearing fist-sized Flat Peaches. He spoke, "This is one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots—the Ren Water Flat Peach. There is only one such tree in existence. It takes ten thousand years to bloom, another ten thousand to bear fruit, and yet another ten thousand to ripen, yielding only thirty-six fruits each time."

This was a memory inherited from the Heavenly Dao, impossible to falsify.

According to the original history of the Primordial World, this item would eventually fall into Hongjun's hands. After the war between the Sorcerer and Demon tribes ended, Hongjun would bestow this Spiritual Root upon the Queen Mother of the West to suppress the Heavenly Palace.

But by then, the Ren Water Flat Peach would have long since branched out, transforming into three thousand six hundred trees.

Of course, the efficacy of those branched peaches could never compare to the complete, unbranched Ren Water Flat Peach of the present!

"I came, I saw, it's mine!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Fang waved his hand grandly. Instantly, a Silver Giant Hand materialized out of thin air, firmly gripping the towering Flat Peach Tree, over a thousand zhang tall, and yanking it upward with force!

With his late-Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation base and immensely powerful physical strength, it was no exaggeration to say that this strength was more than enough to claim an Innate Spiritual Root with ease!

"Done. Let's go!"

Xie Fang stuffed the Flat Peach Tree into his spatial storage, stepped onto Mo Wu, and clouds formed beneath their feet.

After sweeping his divine sense across West Kunlun Mountain, he found nothing else worthy of his attention, so he departed without delay!

West Kunlun Mountain was located in the western part of the Primordial World continent, not too far from the Western Spiritual Veins. Since he had come all this way and obtained one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots—the Ren Water Flat Peach—how could Xie Fang forget that the West still held many good things?

Not to mention anything else, just the Spiritual Veins that would later be destroyed by Luohu—if he were to bathe in them, how many Experience Points would that add?

Since he had come, Xie Fang had no intention of returning empty-handed!

Thus, riding Mo Wu, Xie Fang headed straight for the West.

Not long after Xie Fang left, a Daoist figure with white hair and beard appeared out of thin air.

"The Heavenly Dao guided me here, saying a Spiritual Root would manifest. Could this be the place?"

The Daoist swung his Whisk, immediately sensing the lingering misty aura beneath the spot where the Flat Peach Tree had been uprooted.

"Not good—could someone have taken it away?"

The Daoist frowned slightly, feeling the Spiritual Qi in the pool gradually dissipating. He waved his left hand, and a Purple Jade Pendant appeared in his palm!

This jade pendant was the size of a bowl, shrouded in purple mist, exuding an utterly mysterious aura.

But the flaw was that this Purple Jade Pendant had a walnut-sized gap in it.

If Xie Fang had seen the jade pendant in the Daoist's hand, he would surely have recognized that the walnut-sized gap matched the piece in his own possession!

The Jade Disc of Creation!

This person was none other than Hongjun!

Following the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun had come here seeking the Ren Water Flat Peach Spiritual Root, only to find someone had beaten him to it. Instinctively, he took out the Jade Disc of Creation and began to calculate with his fingers.

But gradually, Hongjun's brow furrowed.

Because he discovered that even at the Quasi-Saint realm and wielding the Jade Disc of Creation, the result of his divination was... no trace of this person!

It seemed someone had obscured the Heavenly secrets!

"Someone capable of obscuring the Heavenly secrets must be no ordinary being. Who could it be? Luohu? Yin Yang? Qiankun? Or Yang Mei?"

Little did he know that Xie Fang, who had successfully made someone else take the blame for him, was already within the bounds of the Western World.

Before the Dao-Magic War, the Western continent's Spiritual Veins were abundant, and auspicious signs were everywhere. The moment he stepped into the Western World, Xie Fang felt a wave of comfort wash over him. At the same time, a faint ripple from a Formation reached him!

"Legend says that before the Western Spiritual Veins were destroyed, treasures were everywhere. I didn't believe it before, but now I do..."

Xie Fang followed the direction of the Formation's ripple and, sure enough, a naturally formed Formation lay hidden within.

"Master, there's a Formation here—there must be treasure inside!"

At that moment, Mo Wu also spotted the Formation. Sensing Xie Fang's gaze fixed on it, he immediately stopped his four hooves and called out.

Xie Fang nodded. "Since we've encountered it, there's no reason to leave empty-handed. Let's go in and see what treasure it is!"

"Go... go in?"

Mo Wu was momentarily stunned. Shouldn't the normal procedure be to refine the formation first?

"Master, this innate formation is a seamless work of nature with immense power. We should..."

But before Mo Wu could finish, Xie Fang directly tore through space and teleported into the formation.

"What did you say?"

Only then did Xie Fang hear Mo Wu's words, turning his head to ask.

Mo Wu was completely dumbfounded. Before he could even grasp the situation, his master had already brought him inside the formation!

Just what level was this master's Cultivation Base?

"N-nothing..."

Mo Wu stammered a reply, his heart churning with emotion.

He remembered that from the moment he first met Xie Fang, he had only seen him strike down three Fire Kirins. After that, Mo Wu had carried Xie Fang as they traveled, and Xie Fang had revealed no other means.

Now, this display of a Spatial Divine Ability filled Mo Wu's admiration like an endless river, flowing without cease...

"The treasure here is extraordinary. Don't just stand there—move!"

Seeing Mo Wu lost in his reverie, Xie Fang tapped him on the head. Mo Wu snapped to attention at once, carrying Xie Fang as he dashed forward!

The formation was vast, yet the location of the treasure Xie Fang sensed was exceedingly strange.

It was divided into two realms, sharply distinct. One side brimmed with immortal energy, bathed in radiant light; the other was heavy with twilight, thick with malevolent Sha!

And at the junction of the two realms, a pair of rods—one bright, one dark—ceaselessly absorbed the immortal energy and Sha from both sides!

"This is... the Yin-Yang Rods!"

Xie Fang's eyes widened. According to his memories, this item was a pair of Innate Spiritual Treasures of extraordinary power. The Yang Rod could strike down immortals, while the Yin Rod could subdue souls!

It could be said that beneath the Twin Yin-Yang Rods, every living being in the entire Primordial World would be forced to bow their heads!
