Tianlu's golden eyes darted around as he heard this, his mind instantly whirring with activity.

I should ponder this, he thought.

If he went treasure hunting alone, even if he relied on his innate talent to dig three feet into the ground and scour every single mountain peak, there was no telling if that godforsaken Heavenly Dao would be plotting against him in the shadows again.

It would likely shroud every opportunity for innate spiritual treasures and top-tier spiritual roots, keeping them tightly hidden.

That stingy Heavenly Dao simply couldn't stand to see him, the darling of the Great Dao, reaping any benefits.

But what if he tagged along with Nuwa and Fuxi?

These two were the future top-tier mighty figures of the Primordial World, each carrying vast amounts of heaven and earth luck.

If he traveled with such high-luck individuals as Nuwa and Fuxi, perhaps he could use the mysterious pull of their luck to break through the Heavenly Dao's shroud and find the treasures hidden in the depths.

Thinking of this, the smile on Tianlu's face grew even brighter. He nodded repeatedly, readily agreeing to Nuwa's suggestion.

"Excellent! Fellow Daoist Nuwa's words are most excellent. Since we are all at the Zenith Heaven realm and have today discussed the Dao and forged a bond, traveling through Mount Buzhou together is naturally the best course of action!"

Following this, Tianlu left Fengqi Mountain with Nuwa and Fuxi, embarking on a journey to seek opportunities within Mount Buzhou.

This time, Tianlu restrained his nature, refraining from his usual crude habit of digging three feet into the earth.

After all, with two dignified innate sacred beings by his side, he, as an auspicious beast of the Great Dao, had to maintain some semblance of decorum; he couldn't afford to look too much like a bandit.

Along the way, the three traveled together, their auras intertwining.

Although the three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals did not intentionally release their immense pressure, to the eyes of the lower-cultivation beings, they appeared as dazzling as three scorching suns, causing the very void to warp slightly.

Mount Buzhou was home to many innate beings, including some powerful Primordial Unity Golden Immortals who each occupied a blessed land rich in spiritual energy.

However, these Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, who usually acted with impunity, turned deathly pale the moment they caught sight of Tianlu and his companions from afar. They retreated three hundred paces without hesitation, not daring to even draw a full breath.

This was not only due to Tianlu's glaring Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation but also because he was accompanied by two other unfathomable Zenith Heaven sacred beings.

Three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals traveling together—such a terrifying lineup, in a Primordial World where the three clans had withered and Zenith Heaven experts rarely appeared, was a force that could simply sweep away everything in its path.

Who would dare to provoke such bad luck? They feared that the slightest sign of disrespect would result in being ground into powder by those vast laws, leaving not even their true spirits intact.

Tianlu stepped upon a golden Cloud Treasure, watching the creatures below flee at the sight of them. He felt a surge of secret satisfaction and turned to look at Nuwa and Fuxi beside him.

"Fellow Daoists, look at these creatures of Mount Buzhou; they all seem to know how to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. They scattered long before we even drew near."

Upon hearing this, the two could no longer keep their composure.

Fuxi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Nuwa, meanwhile, was silently criticizing him in her heart.

The reputation of you, Tianlu, this Pixiu beast, has long since spread throughout all of Mount Buzhou, accompanied by your habit of plucking every goose that flies by and digging three feet into the ground!

Who in Mount Buzhou doesn't know that there is a golden auspicious beast who, relying on his Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation, goes around robbing everyone blind?

Never mind the innate beings at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm; even a passing bird would be scared into retreating three hundred paces upon seeing a scourge like you, fearing they might be swallowed whole to fill your stomach!

However, Fuxi was wise and Nuwa was gentle-natured, and both had the intention of befriending this auspicious beast with heaven-defying luck, so they naturally wouldn't say anything to dampen the mood.

"Fellow Daoist Tianlu is quite right. These Primordial creatures, by following the timing of heaven and knowing how to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, have saved us quite a bit of trouble."

Thereafter, the beast and the two humans officially began their journey to seek opportunities within the vast and boundless Mount Buzhou.

It is worth mentioning that for Nuwa and Fuxi, this was the first time since their transformation that they had truly wandered Mount Buzhou in search of heaven and earth opportunities.

In the long years of the past, the Primordial land had been dominated by the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.

The Primordial Qilin had led his powerful Qilin clan to occupy Mount Buzhou, which was formed from the spine of Pangu, treating it as their absolute territory and guarding it strictly.

To avoid the sharp edge of the three clans, Nuwa and Fuxi had remained within the innate formation of their blessed cave-heaven on Fengqi Mountain, focusing on their seclusion and contemplating the Dao of Zenith Heaven, never stepping a single foot into the outside world.

It was only recently that they learned from the shifting heavenly secrets that the war between the three clans had finally ended, and the Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins had all fallen into decline and retreated due to their heavy karmic debts.

Only without the occupation of the Qilin clan could Mount Buzhou be considered ownerless once more.

Only then did Nuwa and Fuxi voluntarily withdraw the innate formation of their dojo and appear in the Primordial World.

Having heard of the massive commotion caused by Tianlu, the auspicious beast of the Great Dao, in Mount Buzhou, they were curious and came specifically to seek him out and discuss the Dao.

Now that the three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were traveling together, they had assumed they would return fully laden with treasures from Mount Buzhou, known as the greatest treasury of the Primordial World.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow.

Ten thousand years of time, in the eyes of the mighty figures of the Primordial World, was but a fleeting moment.

Yet, as time passed and the world changed, they had gained absolutely nothing from this ten-thousand-year treasure hunt!

Never mind innate spiritual treasures or top-tier innate spiritual roots; they hadn't even encountered a single piece of spiritual material containing a hint of innate Dao essence, nor a single low-grade innate spiritual root.

This led Nuwa and Fuxi to fall into deep confusion.

Fuxi stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed, as cause and effect twisted at his fingertips while he attempted to calculate the heavenly secrets.

Nuwa's eyes shifted, the Law of Creation undulating faintly around her as she sensed the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

They looked at each other, both seeing the bewilderment in the other's eyes.

As top-tier innate divinities gestated by Fengqi Mountain, they bore the vast luck of the Primordial World, a level of fortune that ranked among the very best even across the entire Primordial World.

In the past, while staying around their dojo, they could occasionally follow the dictates of the Heavenly Dao and pick up spiritual objects nurtured by heaven and earth.

Why was it that here at Mount Buzhou, where the legacy of Pangu was deepest, they couldn't even catch a glimpse of a single opportunity?

This made no sense; it absolutely made no sense!

Could it be that their method of treasure hunting was wrong?

Or had the opportunities of Mount Buzhou long since been scavenged clean by the Qilin clan of the past?

Beside them, Tianlu trod upon a Cloud Treasure, outwardly sighing and lamenting along with them, while inwardly muttering incessantly.

That fellow, the Heavenly Dao, had definitely secretly strengthened the concealment of these opportunities!

Tianlu's golden eyes darted around, his heart as clear as a mirror.

Bearing the Law of Wealth and the Law of Luck, his perception of the opportunities between heaven and earth was the sharpest.

He was certain that Mount Buzhou hid countless heavy treasures, only they were being tightly suppressed by a supreme force of rules.

Otherwise, how could even a future saint like Nuwa, who bore such great luck, fail to find a single opportunity?

This was clearly the Heavenly Dao targeting him, Tianlu.

The petty consciousness of the Heavenly Dao must have been afraid that he would use the luck of Nuwa and Fuxi to hollow out the very foundation of Mount Buzhou.
