Finding a Fortuitous Opportunity by Accident

At this moment, somewhere on Mount Buzhou.

Tianlu was uprooting spiritual trees and herbs one after another, roots and all, then swallowing them into his Abdominal Space.

As he continued devouring them, that immense devouring force formed a visible vortex of spiritual energy in the void.

Just as he was greedily consuming everything, ravaging the mountain range like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, an extremely obscure yet strangely familiar fluctuation of Dao essence suddenly traveled along his devouring force and entered his senses.

Tianlu's enormous body abruptly froze, and his eyes, bright as the sun and moon, instantly lit up.

This scent... was far too familiar.

He carefully savored the array essence lingering in the void, and the Xiantian Great Array he had encountered in West Kunlun while devouring the top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Root, the Huangzhong Plum, immediately surfaced in his mind.

The array essences of the two came from the same source. Both possessed the natural perfection and wondrous innate Creation contained within the fluctuations of a top-tier Xiantian Array.

"How marvelous!"

Tianlu was overjoyed, unable to stop a smile from spreading across his face.

He had never expected that his bulldozer-like, carpet-bombing search through the Mount Buzhou range would accidentally lead him to a place of opportunity protected by a Xiantian Array.

One had to know that anything actively protected by a Xiantian Array was absolutely beyond comparison with ordinary acquired spiritual roots.

He just did not know whether the array contained a top-tier Xiantian Spiritual Root or some Xiantian Spiritual Treasure with unfathomable power.

Meanwhile, within the supreme and ethereal Heavenly Dao Space of the Primordial World.

An enormous Eye of Heavenly Dao, radiating endless pressure, coldly observed everything happening on Mount Buzhou.

When it sensed that Tianlu had found yet another opportunity that did not belong to him, the entire Heavenly Dao Space fell into deathly silence.

The Heavenly Dao Will churned violently.

In order to restrain this Pixiu who relied on being a Pet of the Great Dao to act without restraint, it had already expended tremendous effort. Not only had it concealed the heavenly secrets, it had also placed Heavenly Dao shackles upon every top-tier opportunity along his path.

Yet who could have imagined that, despite all that effort, this Pixiu had still found a loophole through his almost unreasonable method of plundering everything.

"No, I must impose further restrictions!"

The Heavenly Dao Will was unwilling to accept this.

Even Innate Divine Beings fated to be born into the world would struggle to find such Xiantian opportunities without enduring countless hardships and becoming entangled in karma.

Why should this Pixiu obtain them so easily?

In an instant, vast and boundless Heavenly Dao power poured down from the Heavenly Dao Space, silently enveloping the entire Primordial World.

The Heavenly Dao power began operating frantically. It not only further deepened the concealment around the opportunities, but also employed the Law of Space to move those top-tier opportunities that had yet to emerge.

Together with the Xiantian Arrays surrounding them, it forcibly stripped them from the surface space of the Primordial World and hid them within layer upon layer of deep void.

If they were not hidden on the surface, let's see how this Pixiu could find them through such crude devouring methods.

Only after doing all this did the light within the Eye of Heavenly Dao dim slightly, as though it had finally gained a trace of peace of mind.

Tianlu, meanwhile, had no idea about the little tricks Heavenly Dao was pulling in secret.

To save time and avoid unforeseen complications, he directly mobilized the vast, ocean-like mana of his mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

"Open for me!"

Tianlu let out a low roar, and an incomparably powerful fluctuation of the Law of Spatial Great Dao instantly erupted from his body.

Tianlu's Space Great Dao allowed him to locate the flaw in that Xiantian Array with absolute precision.

Then, Tianlu's thick tail suddenly swung.

His boundless Daluo mana perfectly fused with the Law of Space, transforming into a terrifying afterimage that tore through heaven and earth as it violently struck that flaw.

BOOM!!!

A world-shaking explosion erupted across Mount Buzhou.

That Xiantian Great Array, which even Taiyi Golden Immortals could not shake in the slightest, shattered like fragile glass beneath Tianlu's devastating blow.

In an instant, an incomparably dense innate spiritual radiance burst forth from the shattered void.

The dazzling radiance contained the vast aura of the four great origins of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. It instantly pierced the heavens and spread across countless billions of miles.

At that moment, the spiritual radiance emerged, and a heaven-shaking phenomenon appeared.

Within the Mount Buzhou range, the mighty Taiyi Golden Immortals who had kept their abodes shut tight and pretended to see and hear nothing as they cultivated there were all shaken to their cores upon witnessing such startling treasure light.

"Such a phenomenon means a top-tier Xiantian Spiritual Treasure or spiritual root must have emerged!"

"An opportunity! A heaven-sent opportunity!"

For a time, greed overcame reason.

Several hundred streams of escape light radiating the formidable aura of Taiyi Golden Immortals shot toward the center of the spiritual radiance from every direction like meteors chasing the moon.

All of them sought to seize this astonishing opportunity, and some had already secretly summoned their magical treasures, ready to fight.

Yet who would have thought that, when they were halfway there and their divine senses detected the scene at the center of the radiance, every streak of escape light abruptly braked in midair.

When they clearly saw the familiar, massive figure bathing in the spiritual radiance and emanating the terrifying pressure of a Daluo Golden Immortal, every Taiyi Golden Immortal instantly went pale.

"It's that Pixiu!"

"Damn it! Why is it that scourge?"

Without the slightest hesitation, those Taiyi Golden Immortals, who had been so imposing just moments ago, immediately turned and fled like startled birds. They escaped even faster than they had arrived.

That was because the figure was none other than the peerlessly ferocious Pixiu whose notoriety had spread throughout the Mount Buzhou range in recent years.

In their rumors, they no longer regarded this Pixiu as an Auspicious Beast that brought wealth and treasure. Instead, they considered him a peerlessly vicious beast that had escaped from Chaos.

After all, what kind of Auspicious Beast acted like a bandit, even uprooting every ornamental spiritual root planted outside someone else's home?

They understood perfectly well that this Pixiu, Tianlu, not only acted without any restraints, but possessed the terrifying strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

No matter how numerous they were, mere Taiyi Golden Immortals were no different from ants trying to topple a tree before a Daluo Golden Immortal. If they dared to go forward and seize the opportunity, they would undoubtedly be courting death.

Tianlu naturally noticed those Taiyi Golden Immortals who had come and then turned back.

Seeing them flee faster than rabbits, Tianlu gave a disdainful snort.

"Consider yourselves sensible."

Those who understood the times were wise. Since they had not come to throw away their lives, Tianlu could not be bothered to chase them down. At least those fellows knew how to behave.

Then Tianlu withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the opportunity before him, which radiated an endless aura of Creation.

In the soil ahead stood a remarkably divine spiritual root.

The spiritual root stood about ten zhang tall, crystalline and translucent throughout, with profound innate Dao patterns flowing across its trunk.

Atop its canopy grew four enormous Plantain Leaves.

The four Plantain Leaves were each a different color, shining respectively in azure, red, black, and yellow. Wind, fire, water, and earth—the four innate origin elements—coiled around them.

Fierce winds howled, blazing flames raged, heavy water surged, and thick earth settled. Four utterly different yet mutually reinforcing powers perfectly merged within this spiritual root.

"So it was this thing!"
