The Siblings Depart, Heading to the East Sea to Seek a Cultivation Ground

Seeing these two items, a flash of bewilderment crossed Tianlu's eyes.

He muttered to himself in his heart.

What kind of opportunities was the Heavenly Dao giving him?

If his memories from the later ages were correct, the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin shouldn't have been hidden in Wuyi Mountain until the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, when it was discovered by those two obscure loose immortals, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao?

And this Five-Colored Stone—this was the supreme divine object that Nuwa would later use to mend the heavens. It stood to reason that it should have had its own exclusive place of gestation.

How could these two completely unrelated treasures end up together, packaged and hidden in the cliffside of Mount Buzhou by such a profound innate formation?

What Tianlu did not know was that this was all thanks to himself.

Ever since he arrived at Mount Buzhou, relying on his status as a darling of the Great Dao and his heaven-defying Law of Devouring, he had been eating his way through the mountain. He was like a goose passing through that plucked every feather, scraping the earth three feet deep.

To preserve the spiritual veins and foundation of Mount Buzhou, the Heavenly Dao had been forced to alter the original trajectory of opportunities in the Primordial World.

In order to get rid of this troublemaking Devil King sooner, the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao had secretly manipulated things, forcibly moving the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin from Wuyi Mountain and bundling it together to present to Tianlu, hoping only that he would take the loot and get lost immediately.

As for this location, it was naturally the destined place for the Five-Colored Stone; the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin was merely an addition.

The reason it was the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin was that this spiritual treasure did not hold a significant status in the Primordial World.

Tianlu was naturally unaware of these twists and turns, but he had always been the type to take things as they came. With treasures to be had, who cared if it made sense?

At this moment, the three of them withdrew their gazes from the treasures, and Tianlu turned to look at Nuwa and Fuxi, breaking the silence.

"Fellow Daoists, it was only by breaking the formation together that we were able to see this innate opportunity. I wonder how we should divide these spiritual treasures and materials?"

Hearing this, Fuxi smiled slightly, his gentle and scholarly face full of candor.

"Brother Tianlu, that is where you are mistaken. Being able to find this hidden innate blessed land is entirely due to your unfathomable fortune and ability to deduce."

"My sister and I merely provided some brute force to break the formation; how could we dare to claim credit?"

Nuwa also nodded gently, her eyes shimmering with sincerity.

"My brother is right. If you do not mind, Brother, the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin, shall belong to you. My brother and I will only take this Five-Colored Stone."

Listening to the siblings, Tianlu could not help but praise them inwardly.

They were truly the top-tier powerhouses who would later shake the Primordial World. This temperament and bearing were indeed far beyond what ordinary beings could compare to.

The Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, far more valuable than the Five-Colored Stone, yet Nuwa and Fuxi were able to hold fast to their principles, taking only what was beneficial to their own Great Dao without a shred of greed.

"Since you two are so straightforward, I shall shamelessly accept this Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin."

"This Five-Colored Stone complements Fellow Daoist Nuwa's Great Dao of Creation; it will surely help you attain the supreme Great Dao sooner."

Tianlu was not one to be coy and readily agreed.

The three of them then stepped forward.

Tianlu opened his mouth wide, and an invisible devouring force surged out, sucking the winged Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin directly into the mysterious space within his belly, intending to slowly refine its innate restrictions with the power of creation in his gut later on.

Nuwa waved her fair hand, casting a gentle stream of the energy of creation to scoop up the massive Five-Colored Stone, which she then properly stored within her Primordial Spirit space.

The moment Tianlu tucked away the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin, a vast, boundless, and supreme will suddenly descended into his mind.

"Opportunity obtained, get out of Mount Buzhou immediately!"

The voice lacked any emotional fluctuation, yet it carried the threatening intimidation of the Heavenly Dao, shaking Tianlu's Primordial Spirit.

Tianlu rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart.

"What a stingy Heavenly Dao! I only ate a few of your mountain ranges and plucked a few spiritual treasures; is it really necessary to chase me away like this? As if I even wanted to stay!"

Though he grumbled, Tianlu knew when to quit. Since the Heavenly Dao had already fed him to his heart's content, if he kept making a scene, it might really strike the earth with Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

He turned his head to look at Nuwa, who was full of joy as she contemplated the Dao essence of the Five-Colored Stone, and asked with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you previously suggested that we travel to the East Sea. I wonder what you two think about that now?"

Nuwa and Fuxi exchanged a glance and both shook their heads, a hint of apology flashing in their eyes.

"Brother Tianlu, we are truly sorry."

"Traveling through Mount Buzhou with you has been incredibly beneficial for us. Not only did we hear about the general trend of the Primordial World regarding the retreat of the three clans, but we have now also obtained this Five-Colored Stone that fits our Great Dao."

Fuxi cupped his hands and explained gently.

"We feel that our own foundations have reached a critical point, so we intend to return to our dojo at Fengqi Mountain to enter seclusion and cultivate, hoping to achieve a further breakthrough in our cultivation and Great Dao."

Upon hearing this, Tianlu did not force the issue.

A twisted melon is never sweet; if they wanted to go back and cultivate in seclusion, he couldn't exactly drag them out for a stroll.

"In that case, I shall see you two off. It just so happens that I am also leaving Mount Buzhou."

Afterward, Tianlu steered his Cloud Treasure and departed the area with Nuwa and Fuxi.

He escorted them all the way until he watched the siblings safely enter the protective formation of Fengqi Mountain, at which point Tianlu stopped.

Standing in the void outside Fengqi Mountain, Tianlu rubbed his round chin and began to ponder his next destination.

Ever since he crossed over to the Primordial World, he had been drifting about, eating wherever he went, without a fixed dojo of his own.

Now that his cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, it was time to find a place with good geomancy to settle down.

As he pondered, a flash of inspiration struck Tianlu.

"Didn't Fellow Daoist Nuwa mention before that the East Sea is vast and boundless, hiding countless immortal islands and blessed lands within it?"

"Especially those legendary three overseas immortal islands—Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang—they are top-tier grotto-heavens in the Primordial World!"

"Not only is the spiritual energy there dense, but they also contain complete fragments of Chaos. They are absolutely the premier choice for settling down."

The more Tianlu thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Relying on his heaven-defying fortune as a darling of the Great Dao, as long as that old geezer Heavenly Dao didn't meddle behind his back, wouldn't finding one of the three immortal islands be as easy as reaching out his hand?

Thinking of this, Tianlu hesitated no longer. With a flick of his mind, the Cloud Treasure beneath his feet instantly transformed into a streak of light, speeding off toward the vast and boundless East Sea.

Meanwhile, during Tianlu's long journey to the East Sea, the years of the Primordial World flowed on leisurely.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and before he knew it, the long span of a Yuanhui had quietly slipped away.

During this Yuanhui, the Primordial World underwent earth-shaking changes, and the true golden age of the innate divinities slowly began to unfold.
