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

Normally, the Western spiritual energy meridians haven't been activated yet, so the opportunities should be no less than those on other continents.

Could it be that this divine ability also has a limit?

A fixed number of sensing attempts within a certain period?

Or can one only sense a certain number of Innate Restrictions in total, or is there some other reason?

Yun Xiao couldn't figure it out, but the fact that Barrier Penetrating Insight had failed was undeniable.

"What a pity."

She shook her head slightly. Now, she could only rely on her own abilities to find opportunities.

Just as she was thinking.

Suddenly, from a cave in the mountain range beneath her feet, a black shadow streaked towards her at high speed, carrying an indescribable fishy and foul stench, mixed with boundless killing intent, drawing a crimson light tens of thousands of feet long in the air!

"Buzz—"

The Pure World White Lotus automatically protected its master, firmly blocking the crimson light from the outside.

"Sea Calming Divine Pearls."

Yun Xiao's expression was calm. The Twelve Sea Calming Divine Pearls instantly appeared behind her, smashing forward with the force of thunder!

"Boom!"

The Sea Calming Divine Pearls collided fiercely with the black shadow, splashing a rain of blood. A terrifying ripple spread out, severing all the surrounding peaks and sea of clouds.

The black shadow let out a pained roar and opened its gaping maw, continuing to attack Yun Xiao!

Only then did Yun Xiao clearly see the opponent's appearance. It was actually a crimson python tens of thousands of feet long, exuding the aura of a late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"Red Snake, the first ancestral snake in the world?"

Yun Xiao's eyes shone brightly. Those with such cultivation at this period were basically ancient ancestors.

Standing in the white lotus sea, Yun Xiao poured her magic power into the Sea Calming Divine Pearls and continued to smash them at the ancestral snake.

"Boom!"

This time, the fully charged attack directly smashed the Red Snake's massive body, causing it to sink in and exploding a patch of scales!

But it was only enough to blast open the scales; it still didn't seriously injure the ancestral snake.

"Such a powerful physical body!"

Yun Xiao was slightly surprised. After all, Ao Feng back then was heavily injured by a single blow from these Sea Calming Divine Pearls.

And after she advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, she further refined the Sea Calming Divine Pearls and mastered the Great Dao of Artifacts, so their power had increased significantly.

Ordinary late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals would probably not be able to withstand it.

But the ancestral snake could withstand it head-on, and even just blast open its scales, proving its body was incredibly tough.

"Swish!"

Just then, a golden rat suddenly appeared from behind the Red Snake. It sprinkled a handful of powder onto the Red Snake's wound. A flash of light passed, and the shattered scales actually recovered as before!

Red Copper Mother Powder?

Yun Xiao's heart stirred. No wonder the Red Snake had such a powerful physical body; it turned out to be formed by being steeped in Red Copper Mother Powder for a long time.

After doing this, the rat waved its paw again, and dozens of Spiritual Treasures floated out. Instantly, the treasure light filled the sky, each emitting the aura of a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Hand over the Spiritual Treasures in your hands, and we'll let you leave."

"If you disobey, you will be blasted into dregs."

The golden rat looked greedily at Yun Xiao and Xiao Bai, its nose twitching as it smelled the scent of treasures on Yun Xiao.

At the same time, two swords, one blue and one white, flew out from the sides of the Red Snake, emitting the aura of Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

"Use Spiritual Treasures to blast us..."

Hearing the other party's words, Xiao Bai's tiger face was strange.

This guy is truly fearless because he knows no fear!

"Since you're scared, hurry up and hand over your treasures and leave."

Seeing Yun Xiao and Xiao Bai fall silent, the golden rat thought they were scared and its expression gradually became arrogant.

After all, who wouldn't be intimidated upon seeing so many Innate Spiritual Treasures?

And these Spiritual Treasures were just the tip of the iceberg; its lair hid even more treasures.

No help for it, who made it the first rat in the world, a Treasure Seeking Rat!

Its nose could smell all sorts of treasures, even if they were blocked by Restrictions!

Therefore, even though it only had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal Perfection, the ancestral snake was willing to follow it. They were birds of a feather.

This was the power of capital!

"Why waste words with them? Kill them all, and the treasures will naturally be ours."

Just then, the Red Snake spoke impatiently and immediately activated the blue and white swords to slash forward.

In its eyes, Yun Xiao and Xiao Bai were merely early-stage and mid-stage Grand Unity cultivators. Even with that powerful White Lotus protecting them, it would eventually be broken through.

One must know that the Treasure Seeking Rat still had many spiritual fruits on its person, so there was no need to worry about the depletion of its spiritual power.

As for the Red Copper Mother Powder, it could guarantee its continuous physical combat power.

In this state, what could the opponent use to fight back?

"I told you not to listen to me, but see, Ancestor Snake is angry, and I can't stop it."

Seeing this, the Treasure Seeking Rat shook its head helplessly. It didn't want to kill too much, but good advice could not persuade a stubborn fool!

"Buzz--"

Just then.

A purple light flashed, emitting an unparalleled aura of slaughter, instantly piercing through the Red Snake's body.

Plop!

The Red Snake's massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust, completely devoid of life.

"Hmph, hmph, this is the consequence of not listening to advice."

The Treasure Seeking Rat crossed its arms and looked up with a cold smile, but immediately, its smile froze on its face.

???

What happened?

Why is Ancestor Snake on the ground?

After a moment of stunned silence, the Treasure Seeking Rat respectfully bowed to Yun Xiao: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving me. This Ancestor Snake not only occupied my lair but also stole my treasures. It's a deep-seated hatred!"

"Now that fellow Daoist has slain it and helped me resolve this grievance, your great kindness is beyond words!"

"I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

The Treasure Seeking Rat bowed respectfully, then turned to leave.

However, its body didn't move forward but slowly lifted into the air...

"Fellow Daoist, I know I was wrong."

Held in Yun Xiao's hand, the Treasure Seeking Rat forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

Although it still had several Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in its possession, it didn't dare to attack Yun Xiao at all.

As a Golden Immortal, how could its spiritual power be enough to simultaneously activate so many Spiritual Treasures?

Bringing them out would only be for show.

"Hand them over," Yun Xiao said.

The Treasure Seeking Rat had no choice but to hand over all the Spiritual Treasures on its person.

"Let's go, we'll go check out your lair," Yun Xiao continued.

What? She wants to ransack my lair too!?

The Treasure Seeking Rat wanted to refuse, but Xiao Bai happened to reveal a hint of killing intent, scaring it into quickly nodding and leading Yun Xiao towards the cave at the foot of the mountain.

Upon entering the lair, several beams of treasure light instantly shot out. An uncountable number of Spiritual Treasures were piled up here, with at least three Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures alone!

And the Acquired Spiritual Treasures were too many to count!

In addition to Spiritual Treasures, there were also many divine metals, Red Copper Mother, and other precious materials, which were very useful for artifact refining.

"You sure know how to hoard."

Yun Xiao waved her sleeve and collected all the treasures, leaving none behind.

Seeing this, the Treasure Seeking Rat felt a pang of heartache.

These were treasures it had spent a full several thousand years collecting by toiling in every corner of the Primordial Era, only to have them all become someone else's spoils in a single day!

After ransacking the lair, Yun Xiao looked at the Treasure Seeking Rat in her hand, contemplating how to deal with it.

[Ding, God-tier Choice has been activated.]
