Primordial Era: This Humble Daoist is Yun Xiao, Saint of Three Immortal Island!

Meanwhile, somewhere in the western lands, within an Innate Restriction, a Bodhi Tree and a Bitter Bamboo were also frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to speed up their transformation.

"Refine."

On Xiao Bai's back, while traveling, Yun Xiao sent her divine sense into the Spirit Coffin Lamp and began to refine it.

To be honest, Yun Xiao was quite satisfied with this harvest.

Although the Spirit Coffin Lamp was a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and compared to the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler in her hand, it was still a bit lacking compared to the Pure World White Lotus, its origins were extraordinary.

One should know that there were Four Great Spiritual Lamps in the Primordial Era: the Human Lamp, the Spirit Coffin Lamp; the Earth Lamp, the Eight Sceneries Palace Lamp; the Heaven Lamp, the Jade Void Glazed Lamp; and the Creation Lamp, the Precious Lotus Lantern.

The Human Lamp, the Spirit Coffin Lamp, in her hand, had flames that were the most mysterious of the Four Heavenly Fires, the Netherworld Ghost Fire.

After the Investiture of the Gods, Ran Deng defected to Buddhism. The reason he did not change his title and was even conferred the title of Ancient Buddha Ran Deng was precisely because of this Spirit Coffin Lamp.

Vulture Peak Mountain also entered Western Spirit Mountain because of this lamp.

As for the lamp's flame, the Netherworld Ghost Fire, it cultivated into human form in Western Spirit Mountain. Unwilling to endure the loneliness of Western Spirit Mountain, it escaped to the mortal world and disappeared.

The remaining lamp was consumed by a small gu worm, eventually becoming the Glazed Ghost Mother who wreaked havoc.

Earth Lamp, Eight Sceneries Palace Lamp.

Its flame was called the "Purple Fire of Burning Delusions."

This fire possessed infinite power. Legend had it that it could burn the heavens and boil the seas. If all of it were unleashed, it could boil half of the East Sea.

Heaven Lamp, Jade Void Glazed Lamp.

It was a magical treasure of the Primordial Celestial Clan.

Within the lamp was a ball of golden flame, named "Ancient Flame of Ten Thousand Spirits," which was one of the Four Heavenly Fires.

This type of flame had a special function: it could detect nearby magical treasures.

However, Venerable Lord Yuanshi, one of the Three Pure Ones, had long since stopped considering magical treasures as means of survival.

Therefore, even though he possessed the Jade Void Glazed Lamp, he was too lazy to search for magical treasures.

When cultivators fought each other, the common saying "use your Primordial Spirit to light the Heaven Lamp" referred to this Jade Void Glazed Lamp.

Creation Spiritual Lamp, Precious Lotus Lantern.

It was formed from a not-fully-matured lotus seed of the Thirty-Six-Petal Chaos Green Lotus.

When the heavens and earth were created, the Thirty-Six-Petal Chaos Green Lotus shattered under the immense pressure of the primal chaos. Six of its lotus seeds then transformed into six Lotus Platforms.

Among them, one mature lotus seed transformed into the Twelve-Petal Creation Green Lotus, a treasure of Innate grade, which was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. It eventually split into three, becoming the Jade Ruyi, the White Jade Flat Crutch, and the Qingping Sword.

The remaining five semi-mature lotus seeds separately transformed into the Twelve-Petal Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the Golden Lotus of Merit, and the Twelve-Petal World-Purifying White Lotus in Yun Xiao's hand.

There was also a Twelve-Grade Samsara Purple Lotus, which was the most mysterious to date. Even Yun Xiao had no memory of its specific functions.

In addition, another not-fully-matured seed transformed into the Precious Lotus Lantern.

Legend had it that only those with extremely kind hearts could activate it.

It could be said that the Four Spiritual Lamps of the Primordial Era were all High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, each with an extraordinary origin.

There were even rumors that if all four divine lamps were gathered, they would evolve into unimaginable divine objects!

"What a pity. At this point in time, the Universe Ruler is still in Old Ancestor Qiankun's hands. If I could have obtained it along with the Spirit Coffin Lamp at Vulture Peak Mountain, this trip would have been a huge profit."

After preliminarily refining the Spirit Coffin Lamp, Yun Xiao shook her head regretfully.

The Universe Ruler could measure heaven and earth. When fused with the Thirty-Six Sea Calming Divine Pearls, it could evolve into a new Spiritual Treasure – the Thirty-Six Heavens!

Back then, Ran Deng possessed twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls. Combined with the Universe Ruler, he evolved the Twenty-Four Heavens, which possessed both offense and defense, allowing him to leap to become the strongest combatant below the Saint level!

Even powerful figures like Old Ancestor Minghe had to avoid his sharp edge.

Now, she had twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls. The Twelve Heavens she evolved, though not perfect, were still extremely formidable.

"Master."

Just as Yun Xiao was lost in thought, Xiao Bai's voice suddenly rang out.

She looked forward and saw an old man sitting cross-legged in the void, his eyes slightly closed, with a divination chart placed before him, blocking their path.

"No need to mind him, continue on your way."

Yun Xiao calmly instructed. The most important matter now was to head to the North Sea to find Kunlun Mountain and obtain the Fragment of the Jade of Creation.

"Buzz--"

Just as Xiao Bai turned to go around, the old man's figure reappeared before them, blocking their path once more.

"Fellow Daoist, would you care for a divination?"

The old man slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing within them.

Yun Xiao calmly looked at the old man for a moment, then smiled gently. With a flash, she appeared opposite the old man and sat down before the divination chart. "The road ahead is long and directionless. A divination would be good."

"What would you like to divine, Fellow Daoist?"

"I'd like to divine whether my Golden Immortal cultivation encountering a Grand Unity Golden Immortal blocking my path is a blessing or a calamity."

The elder was slightly stunned when he heard Yun Xiao's words, and then he also started to laugh.

"Alright, then allow me to divine a hex for you, fellow Daoist!"

He smiled and placed a brush and paper in front of Yun Xiao: "Please, fellow Daoist, draw whatever comes to mind."

Yun Xiao took the brush and, without any hesitation, drew a large horizontal line on the paper.

The elder picked up the paper, but at that very moment, a gust of evil wind blew, and the paper fluttered down onto the divination chart.

The spot where it landed happened to be drawn with a dagger, so lifelike it seemed as if it could be plucked directly from the image and stab someone through the heart!

"Fellow Daoist, this hex seems... not very auspicious!"

The elder pointed to the fiery red sky: "This celestial timing, with the sun just peeking out, is the Hour of Dusk."

Then, he pointed to the dagger on the chart: "This dagger is named Golden Chi She Yuan."

The elder then pointed to the horizontal line on the paper: "What you drew, at the Hour of Dusk with the dagger, is extremely inausicious!"

"How inauspicious?" Yun Xiao asked.

"Below the horizontal line, with the dagger and the dusk, the outcome could be as dire as falling."

"So, it's death."

"Precisely, it's..."

"Death!!!"

The elder's smiling face instantly turned ferocious!

The next moment, the divination chart moved as if by itself, and the dagger carved upon it actually flew out of the diagram, aiming straight for Yun Xiao's brow!

Golden Chi She Yuan could bypass the physical body and directly seize the opponent's Primordial Spirit, piercing the soul!

Especially at such close range, there was no way to dodge!

"Clang!"

But just as Golden Chi She Yuan was about to reach Yun Xiao's brow, a White Lotus instantly bloomed on her forehead, directly repelling the dagger!

"How can a mere Golden Immortal possess such a Spiritual Treasure!"

Seeing this, the elder exclaimed in shock.

One must know that Golden Chi She Yuan was his companion Spiritual Treasure, a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Yet, it was directly repelled by the other party's Spiritual Treasure.

This meant that this White Lotus-shaped defensive Spiritual Treasure was at least a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, if not higher!

It might even be a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

This was a great opportunity that had come knocking on his door!

As long as he killed the other party, wouldn't everything belong to him?

Thinking this, the elder's face instantly filled with a smile: "Originally, I only intended to kill you and your mount, using your mount's origin to nourish my own."

"But I never expected that you, a mere Golden Immortal, would possess such extraordinary fortune. I suppose I'm lucky today."

The elder looked down at Yun Xiao from above, as if everything was within his grasp.

His identity was Geng Metal Ancestor, evolved from the origin of Innate Geng Metal.

As for Xiao Bai, it was the Innate Geng Metal White Tiger, which was why he had sensed it from afar and come here to intercept them.

According to Geng Metal Ancestor's plan, obtaining Xiao Bai's origin was the primary objective, and killing Yun Xiao was merely incidental.

But he never expected that this insignificant Golden Immortal he had overlooked would be carrying such a great fortune. It was truly a double blessing!

"Which fortune are you referring to?"

Just as Geng Metal Ancestor was preparing to strike again, Yun Xiao suddenly waved her hand, and a Mysterious Yellow Handkerchief floated out.

"This treasure is called the Mysterious Yellow Star Handkerchief. It is a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and with a single strike, it can wield the power of the stars."
