See the Great Way by Breaking Through Life and Death; Create the Future with the Nine-Turn Divine Art (Continued)

"It's time to make another breakthrough!"

Yun Xiao swallowed all the spirit pills in one go, then activated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique, continuously absorbing their vast energy.

Kunlun Mountain.

Within the Innate Restriction atop the mountain, three balls of light floated in midair. Auspicious radiance surged around them, and Dao Sounds rang out from time to time, sacred and serene.

At that moment, one of the three balls of light, glowing with Taiqing radiance, suddenly shuddered and woke with a start!

"Eldest Brother, what's wrong?"

The balls of light radiating Yuqing and Shangqing light woke at the same time and sent their questions through their Primordial Spirits.

"I don't know. I just feel inexplicably stifled."

Within the Taiqing ball of light, Taiqing Laozi, who had yet to take human form, murmured.

It was as if an opportunity that should have belonged to him had been snatched away right under his nose!

Time passed unmarked in the Primordial Wilderness.

On this day, Yun Xiao, who had been cultivating, slowly opened her eyes. An extremely powerful aura spread out from her.

The Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique had reached the mid-stage of its third revolution, and she had advanced to the mid-stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!

It was only a minor breakthrough, but because she cultivated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique, every advancement brought about a tremendous transformation.

Not only had her Primordial Spirit become more solid, but the mana within her body had expanded more than tenfold!

That was why she had needed to consume so many spirit pills just to advance one minor stage. A single small step for her was equivalent to a giant leap for others.

At this point, the fire among the five qi in Yun Xiao's chest had also reached Perfection thanks to her advancement in the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique.

"Time to leave."

After putting away the remaining Shouyang Copper and the alchemy furnace, Yun Xiao flashed outside the restriction.

"Come on, keep sniffing."

Seeing the Treasure Seeking Rat lazing on Xiao Bai's back, Yun Xiao waved a hand lightly, and a gust of wind sent it tumbling head over heels.

Hmm. I mustn't disrespect Eldest Brother.

"Master, it's not that I don't want to keep sniffing. The baleful aura of Heaven and Earth has suddenly grown so thick that it can mask a lot of things."

The Treasure Seeking Rat looked aggrieved.

Although it had innate supernatural abilities, the Primordial Wilderness was now filled with the stench of blood, as if some great evil thing were about to emerge.

"Looks like Shen Ni's emergence isn't far off."

Looking around at the murky world, Yun Xiao knew the Treasure Seeking Rat wasn't lying. She fell into thought.

The Primordial Wilderness was currently enjoying a rare period of peace. And with the Treasure Seeking Rat around, this was the perfect time to travel the land and search for opportunities.

But the baleful aura of Heaven and Earth was seriously affecting the rat's nose, and her own Barrier Penetrating Insight seemed to be under some sort of restriction...

Wait!

Just then, Yun Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

If she taught Barrier Penetrating Insight to the Treasure Seeking Rat, could it break through some of those restrictions?

After all, this divine ability was extremely well suited to the Treasure Seeking Rat's innate talent!

With that thought, Yun Xiao pointed at the Treasure Seeking Rat's brow. The next moment, profound Dao Sounds swirled around its ears, and countless talismans flickered into view, seeming to expound on some kind of Heaven and Earth Rhythms.

"Barrier Penetrating Insight?"

As it read the information about the great divine ability in its mind, the Treasure Seeking Rat looked utterly shocked.

In the Primordial Wilderness of this era, someone could actually master such a profound divine ability!

One's innate laws and divine abilities were passed down through the bloodline; they couldn't be taught to others.

So the divine ability Yun Xiao had passed on to it was actually a Dao art she had comprehended through her understanding of Heaven and Earth!

Was she really a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal wouldn't have such aptitude and comprehension!

If it knew Yun Xiao had also mastered the laws of the Great Dao, who knew how it would react?

Xiao Bai, on the other hand, seemed much calmer.

It had seen enough by now that nothing its master did could surprise it.

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and comprehend it!"

Yun Xiao threatened it from the side. "If you don't learn it properly, Xiao Bai's dinner tonight will be roasted field mouse!"

At her words, the Treasure Seeking Rat shuddered. It quickly curled up on the ground and began comprehending Barrier Penetrating Insight.

Before long, golden light began to glimmer around its nose, and the baleful aura of the calamity surrounding them was driven away by the light.

The fur on its body also grew whiter, as pure and spotless as the first snow of winter.

"This divine ability really is a natural fit for the Treasure Seeking Rat. It's actually mutated."

Yun Xiao nodded slightly.

Rather than working hard herself, she might as well push someone else to do it.

From now on, finding treasures would be entirely up to the Treasure Seeking Rat!

"Master, I've discovered that the divine ability you taught me can actually fuse with my innate divine ability!"

"From that, I comprehended a new divine ability—Treasure Devouring Heaven Purifying."

"Now I'm not only unaffected by the baleful aura, I can also sense treasures within a hundred billion li!"

"I can even sniff out a treasure's properties!"

A day later, the Treasure Seeking Rat slowly opened its eyes, excitement on its face.

Searching the world for treasures had always been its dream!

As for who ended up with the treasures, that didn't matter. What mattered was that it had enjoyed the process.

With that thought, the Treasure Seeking Rat twitched its nose, and its pupils suddenly quivered.

"I smell an incredibly strong fragrance. It's so sharp it stings my nose, but it's neither stone nor anything else. It's really strange."

The Treasure Seeking Rat's eyes shone. It had never encountered a scent this overwhelmingly strong!

"Xiao Bai, let's go!"

Yun Xiao quickly climbed onto Xiao Bai as well, and they streaked south like a beam of flowing light.

Before long, they arrived above a desolate mountain range.

"Buzz—"

Yun Xiao sent a stream of mana downward. Ripples spread through the void, but no Innate Restriction was shaken loose.

"Are you sure it's here?" She looked at the Treasure Seeking Rat.

"It's definitely on this mountain. That smell... It's too strong!"

The Treasure Seeking Rat covered its nose, its eyes streaming from the stench.

"Then let's search carefully."

Yun Xiao landed at the foot of the mountain. Treasures weren't always hidden inside Innate Restrictions.

"You there, do I look like an Innate God or Demon, or do I look like a Yellow Weasel?"

Just then,

A creature resembling a weasel suddenly appeared. It stood upright on two legs and cupped its hands in greeting to Yun Xiao and the others.

A Yellow Weasel seeking a title?

Yun Xiao blinked. She hadn't expected to encounter something from the legends of her previous life here.

In her previous life, Yellow Weasels nearing transformation would waylay travelers in wild mountains and forests and ask, "Do I look like a human, or do I look like a god?"

If you said it looked human, it would cultivate into a human. If you said it looked like a god, it would cultivate into a god.

The important thing was that no matter what you called it, it would keep pestering you, making you provide for it forever.

This Innate Yellow Weasel before her was also at the critical point of transformation, and was using its innate divine ability—seeking a title—on Yun Xiao and the others.

If it were titled a god or demon, its innate aptitude would improve, and it would ascend to godhood.

If it were called a Yellow Weasel, its transformation would fail—and it might even be doomed to roam the Primordial Wilderness in the skin of a Yellow Weasel for all eternity.

This was the moment that would decide its fate!

"Everyone, do I look like a god or demon, or do I look like a Yellow Weasel?"

"Be careful how you answer."
