Traveling the Prehistoric World, Finding Treasure After Treasure-Huang Tian Struck It Rich!
"People say the Prehistoric World is boundless. Even a Quasi Saint might not be able to set foot in every corner in a lifetime."
"That really was true!"
In the eastern reaches of the Prehistoric World, Huang Tian soared through the air, his blood and qi surging. As his eyes opened and closed, he radiated divine majesty.
Ten thousand years had passed since he left the Shore of the East Sea, yet Huang Tian still had no idea how much longer it would take him to reach Buzhou Mountain.
After all, Huang Tian was currently at the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor (Da Luo) Realm.
His blood and qi surged as if they cost nothing, and his speed was inconceivable.
Fortunately, Huang Tian had not come away empty-handed.
During the Witch-Demon Era, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was still abundant. Spiritual flowers, herbs, and roots that had long since become extinct in later ages could be found everywhere.
There were countless blessed lands and caves—not quite common as dirt, but close.
As for heavenly treasures, at first Huang Tian took whatever he found. Later, he started being selective. After all, the Kongtong Seal was nearly full.
That was why even a pig could easily reach Taiyi in an environment like this.
With decent natural endowment, one could even break through to Daluo simply by living long enough.
Over the past ten thousand years, Huang Tian had encountered at least tens of thousands of Grand Unity Golden Immortals and two or three thousand Grand Luo Golden Immortals.
He had even witnessed great Witches of the Witch Clan battling demonic beasts.
As the conflict between the Witch and Demon Clans continued to intensify, the Tribulation's baleful qi grew ever denser.
Even Grand Luo Golden Immortals could have their Nascent Souls corrupted and become walking corpses who knew nothing but slaughter.
"Roar!"
"Die."
Suddenly, a Da Luo Demon God and several Taiyi Golden Immortal-level demonic beasts charged at Huang Tian. He casually slapped them to death.
In the more than ten thousand years he had been traveling, Huang Tian had done this countless times. It was second nature to him.
With a wave of his hand, his blood and qi surged, and the corpses of the slain beasts were drawn into the Kongtong Seal.
Demonic beasts at the Golden Immortal Realm or above were treasures from head to toe, excellent for refining weapons or pills.
The Human Race was multiplying rapidly. As its leader, Huang Tian naturally wanted to stockpile as many resources as possible.
In two hundred thousand years, the Human Race had grown to a population of ten billion.
In a million years, it might well surpass a trillion—or more.
Huang Tian had to plan ahead.
"Roar!"
"Suppress!"
"Hm?"
Another earth-shaking roar rang out. Huang Tian casually struck with his palm, but this time, the beast did not die.
Looking into the distance, Huang Tian saw a ferocious beast ten million zhang tall.
It resembled a black bear with wings. Black scales covered its body, its tusks were like halberds, ghostly flames burned in its eyes, and its tail bristled with barbs.
"A Desolate Ancient Exotic Species—a ferocious beast called Ming Yi?"
Huang Tian raised his brows at the sight.
It was the offspring of a ferocious beast, born from the fusion of a wisp of a remnant soul. It had no intelligence and knew only how to kill.
It could devour the essence of the Sun and Moon, and its roar could shake the Nascent Soul.
It could spit fire, scorching the ground wherever it passed until nothing remained but charred earth.
"You vile beast, how dare you act so arrogantly!"
As Ming Yi charged toward him, Huang Tian's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Rumble!"
Heaven and earth thundered and changed color. A ten-million-zhang-tall Martial Dao Dharma Image appeared, towering between heaven and earth. Terrifying power of blood and qi coiled around it, hotter than flames.
"Whoosh!"
All the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a hundred million li began to boil like water.
"Boom!"
With a piercing gaze, Huang Tian sent his Martial Dao Dharma Image into action.
His fist shot forward, carrying the surging Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi with it, and smashed into Ming Yi.
"Roar!"
Ming Yi let out a cry of pain. Its formidable spiritual armor, strong enough to withstand an Innate Spiritual Treasure, shattered. Flesh flew everywhere, and blood gushed out.
Without hesitation, Ming Yi turned and tried to flee.
"Suppress!"
Boundless golden light immediately filled the world. The Human Race Myriad Manifestations Diagram floated in the air, sealing the space across a territory hundreds of millions of li wide.
Ming Yi froze in place. Huang Tian pressed his advantage, and the Martial Dao Dharma Image's fists rained down on its body.
In moments, Ming Yi was reduced to a mist of blood and perished completely.
The Kongtong Seal immediately shone brilliantly. Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged across the vast territory, forming a vortex that swept up Ming Yi's flesh and blood.
The next instant, several glistening drops of blood essence appeared in Huang Tian's palm, radiating powerful blood and qi.
From their exchange, Huang Tian had already determined that Ming Yi was at the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Realm.
Just these few drops of blood essence could raise a Postnatal Human's natural endowment to that of a Top-grade Innate Dao Body.
In simpler terms, every drop of Ming Yi's blood essence gave the Human Race a good chance of producing another Martial Emperor (Da Luo).
"Hm?"
But Huang Tian's attention was not on Ming Yi's blood essence at all. He had been drawn to a yellow-brown pearl.
He raised a hand, and the yellow-brown pearl landed in his palm. Though it was only the size of an infant's fist, it felt as weighty as a whole world.
"People thrive when they move. There really are plenty of opportunities out here!"
Looking at the Earth Spirit Pearl in his palm, Huang Tian could not hide his delight.
A high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Earth Spirit Pearl!
It was one of the Innate Five Elements Spirit Pearls, containing pure Innate Wutu Origin and the Law of Earth.
When Pangu created the world, clear qi rose to become the heavens, while turbid qi sank to form the earth.
The turbid qi at the heart of the earth, the innate Wutu essence in the ley lines, and the remnants of the Chaos's Law of Earth merged together, giving birth to the Earth Spirit Pearl deep beneath the land of the Prehistoric World.
Once all five Spirit Pearls—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—were gathered, they could be fused into the Innate Five Elements Pearl. Its power would reach the level of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, second only to an Innate Supreme Treasure.
In particular, pearl-shaped treasures all contained inner spaces that could be used to create worlds.
For example, Daoist Randeng had used the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls to refine twenty-four miniature worlds known as the Twenty-Four Heavens.
Whether used as an Innate Spiritual Treasure or refined into a Martial Dao World to improve one's potential, the Earth Spirit Pearl represented an enormous opportunity.
"Boom!"
After storing the Earth Spirit Pearl in the Kongtong Seal, Huang Tian unleashed his powerful blood and qi and continued on his way.
Even Quasi Saints would covet a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
The Earth Spirit Pearl had only shone for an instant, but if there were any nearby experts at the Daluo Realm or above, they would soon arrive.
At the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor (Da Luo) Realm, Huang Tian could battle Grand Luo Golden Immortals at the peak, but he was not invincible.
If he could avoid trouble, he would naturally do everything he could to do so.
"Damn it! The energy left behind must have come from a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"Too bad we arrived late. I wonder which lucky bastard got it."
Sure enough, not long after Huang Tian left, more than a dozen Daluo beings arrived, roaring in frustration.
But Huang Tian knew nothing about it, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
His blood and qi surged as Huang Tian traveled for another ten thousand years.
"We're finally here?"
"So this is Buzhou Mountain?"
Feeling the terrifying pressure bear down on him, even Huang Tian, arrogant as he was, had to land and approach the foot of Buzhou Mountain on foot.
He looked up. Buzhou Mountain's height was impossible to fathom, and clouds and mist already shrouded its middle slopes.
Its boundless, ancient weight pressed down on him. Its roots reached the Nine Hells and Yellow Springs, while its peak pierced the skies and stars.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
In an instant, the Kongtong Seal protected its master of its own accord. It hovered above Huang Tian, showering down an endless stream of golden Human Race Destiny.
Inside the Kongtong Seal's inner space, another multicolored light mass blazed with radiance.
"Geng Metal Spirit Plant—the Golden Apple Tree, an upper-grade Innate Spiritual Root."
"It came into being from a spiritual core formed when the first wisp of Innate Geng Metal's pure qi fused with the essence of Nine Heavens Profound Iron at the creation of the world."
"It bloomed once every ten thousand years, bore fruit once every ten thousand years, and ripened once every ten thousand years."
"Every thirty thousand years, it bore eighty-one Golden Apples. Eating one could grant an Innate Geng Metal Dao Body and greatly improve one's comprehension of the Law of Geng Metal."
