The eastern lands stretched vast and boundless. Ye Xuan's entire body was immersed in a void of nothingness, only his eyes shrouded within a layer of white mist. Though he had not exerted his full strength, each step he took still covered millions of li. Within a million li, a sweep of his Primordial Spirit power could discern whether an Innate Grand Array lay hidden.

Having rarely come out for a stroll, Ye Xuan did not wish to merely obtain Mount Fangzhang. In the Primordial World, there were still some Supreme Dao Fields yet to emerge. On Wuyi Mountain, there was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin.

There was also an Innate Spiritual Root, the Wuyi Mountain Big Red Robe, itself a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Within Shouyang Mountain, there was likewise a supreme treasure of the human race—the Kongtong Seal!

If he could obtain even one of these, Ye Xuan would have struck it rich. In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed. Ye Xuan had also entered the endless East Sea, yet he remained empty-handed. The Primordial World was simply too vast. After a millennium, he had not seen a single masterless Dao Field, so he had no choice but to enter the boundless East Sea.

Following the location, he headed toward Mount Fangzhang.

But when Ye Xuan entered its vicinity, he did not sense even a trace of an Innate Grand Array. Holding his breath and focusing, he swept his Primordial Spirit power to examine the area, and only then did he locate it and enter within.

"This Innate Grand Array holds a certain subtlety. I am already in the Realm of Quasi-Saint, and I knew of this immortal island's existence beforehand, yet it still took considerable effort to enter. No wonder no one managed to get in during the last Measure Tribulation."

Since the opening of the heavens, no one had ever entered this place. How many rare treasures would be on this immortal island?

A look of great joy appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes as he strode straight inside.

"Shua!"

The moment he entered Mount Fangzhang, endless Innate Spiritual Qi eagerly surged into Ye Xuan's physical body. Over the boundless years, the Innate Spiritual Qi here had already condensed into mist. Going deeper, he could even see a spiritual stream, its contents entirely composed of Innate Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, amidst the endless Innate Spiritual Qi, Ye Xuan spotted a strand of purple-black Innate Qi. Upon sensing it, he realized it was a wisp of Chaos Qi.

The two had directly merged together. The Innate Spiritual Qi, infused with a trace of Chaos Qi, had been elevated by a large margin, earning the name Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi.

On Mount Fangzhang, if one planted an Acquired Spiritual Root, it could even reverse its nature back to Innate, producing a sliver of Innate Qi and ascending to an Innate Spiritual Root. As for an Innate Spiritual Root, it would rise to an even higher level.

Furthermore, for those in the Realm of Quasi-Saint, Innate Spiritual Qi was generally useless—they needed to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos to improve their strength. But here, it was different. The Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi contained a hint of Chaos intent, and comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos within it brought tremendous benefits.

With the endless Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi surging through Mount Fangzhang, this place was truly a Supreme Dao Field. As Ye Xuan walked further inside, he found at least an Acquired Spiritual Root, along with some Innate Rare Treasures.

In the inner area, there was a large grove of Azure Cloud Jade Bamboo, each stalk a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Root. There were over a thousand such Innate Spiritual Bamboos; with simple refinement, each could become a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Excellent!"

Seeing the boundless Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi on Mount Fangzhang, which also had an effect on Innate Spiritual Roots, a smile involuntarily appeared on Ye Xuan's face. He himself possessed some Innate Spiritual Roots. If he could elevate them further, wouldn't he obtain a supreme Chaos Spirit Root?

Just as Ye Xuan was pondering this, he spotted another Innate Spiritual Root on Mount Fangzhang—one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, named the Immortal Apricot. Upon it grew a large cluster of Immortal Apricots, each one containing the Dao of Wind and Thunder within.

There was also an Innate Spring Eye, which originally produced endless Innate Spiritual Qi.

But after merging with the boundless Chaos Qi of Mount Fangzhang, it too had ascended, now capable of producing endless Innate Chaos Spiritual Qi.

"Excellent!"

Seeing the countless rare treasures within Mount Fangzhang, Ye Xuan prepared to pack it all up and bring it back to the West. Staying here indefinitely was not ideal.

However, this was one of the three Fragments of Heaven-Opening from when Pangu split the heavens. Though Ye Xuan had already ascended to the Realm of Quasi-Saint, he found himself utterly helpless before Mount Fangzhang. As he was thinking, another electronic sound reached his ears.

Helpless, Ye Xuan decided to go out for a stroll. After entering the endless East Sea, his gaze fell upon a desolate island, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

This desolate island, though seemingly ordinary and unremarkable, held no obvious abnormalities.

But with Ye Xuan's formidable strength at the Quasi-Saint Realm, he could still discern a clue.

"It's an Innate Grand Array!"

"Could there be another immortal island in the East Sea? Could it be Yingzhou?"

Just as Ye Xuan was pondering, another electronic sound reached his ears.

[Ding Dong!]

[Detected the Three Immortal Islands. The San Xiao Daoist is currently gestating and will not emerge for another ten thousand years. Please choose from the options below.]

[Choice One: Intercept the Three Xiao, have them pledge allegiance to your sect. Upon completion, you will receive a Spatial Teleportation Grand Array and an Innate Spiritual Treasure containing the Dao of Space. Used together, they can even relocate an entire Great Thousand World!]

[Choice Two: Ignore them, let them gestate naturally. Upon completion, you will receive a Formation Method, Basic Introduction Volume!]

Hearing this, a strange look appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes.

"An entire Great Thousand World can be relocated?"

This Innate Grand Array was truly profound. A Great Thousand World was no mere Middle Thousand World; within it, the Three Thousand Great Daos were already perfected and flawless, standing firm amidst the endless Chaos Qi like an unshakable boulder. Even a Saint making a move would find it no easy task to shift it.

Yet, relying on this Innate Grand Array, one could actually move it.

"There must be other mysteries within this grand array."

"Through this array, I can comprehend the Dao of Space."

"And with such a supreme grand array, couldn't I integrate Mount Fangzhang into the Three Thousand Heavens?"

Having figured this out, Ye Xuan's face lit up with great joy, and he immediately spoke.

"I choose the first option—intercept the Three Xiao!"

The San Xiao Daoist were merely Innate Beings, not Innate God-Demons.

But in later ages, they still held some renown.

After the Jie Teachings opened their mountain gates wide, Yunxiao and the others had joined the Jie Teachings.

Among the three teachings, Laozi ranked first in the Dao of Alchemy!

As for Primordial Heavenly Venerate, he ranked first in spiritual treasures!

Tongtian Sect Master was also foremost in the Dao of Arrays, and in his hands lay the foremost of the three great killing formations, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, which could only be broken by the Four Saints.

Under his teachings, Yunxiao and the others pioneered an Innate Grand Array called the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, earning even Primordial Heavenly Venerate's endless praise. However, because Yunxiao and her companions had completely erased the cultivation of the Chan Teachings Twelve Golden Immortals, Primordial Heavenly Venerate showed no mercy, destroying their physical bodies and sending Yunxiao and the others' Primordial Spirits into the Investiture of the Gods.

Yunxiao and her companions were themselves at least Quasi-Saint level experts, but due to their involvement in the formation, they were forced onto the list, their strength forever stagnant, halted at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

If they entered the Western Teachings, under Ye Xuan's hand, though they might not become saints in the future, they would still have a glimmer of hope to ascend to the Quasi-Saint Great Perfection realm.

As Ye Xuan pondered, another electronic sound reached his ears.

[Ding Dong!]

[Host has chosen to intercept San Xiao. The Spatial Teleportation Grand Array is being distributed. Please check it yourself.]

Another electronic sound reached Ye Xuan's ears, and then the method for arranging an Innate Grand Array entered his Primordial Spirit. After reading it through, Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

Just as Ye Xuan had imagined, within it lay a trace of the mystery of the Dao of Space.

This Innate Grand Array was no simple thing!
