Ignoring Risk, Continuing the Treasure Hunt

Thinking of this, Tianlu yawned and decided to ignore the Heavenly Dao's impotent rage.

"Forget it, strike if you want; consider it providing me with lighting."

He then steered his Cloud Treasure, braving the thunderous roar of the divine lightning filling the sky, and continued searching for other opportunities within Kunlun Mountain.

Consequently, a bizarre scene unfolded in Kunlun Mountain.

A golden, round, and chubby Auspicious Beast was flying leisurely atop a snow-white cloud.

Surrounding him were dense, earth-shattering bolts of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

The divine lightning roared along the way, causing mountain peaks to collapse and the earth to crack wherever it passed.

The divine beasts and exotic beasts in Kunlun Mountain that had previously held onto a glimmer of hope—

Such as the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal-level White Jade Dragon Elephant or the winged Winged Geng Metal Tiger—were so terrified that their legs went weak upon seeing someone strolling through the mountains while braving the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, with the surrounding lightning crashing down like rain.

"Th-this... where did this peerless ferocious beast come from? To be able to bathe in the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning and not die!"

"It's too terrifying! Run!"

These beasts, usually majestic and imposing, were now like mice seeing a cat; they hurriedly suppressed their auras and fled as far away from Tianlu as possible.

Watching the creatures fleeing in disarray, Tianlu felt speechless.

Sigh! This Heavenly Dao is truly petty. By doing this, you've scared everyone away. How am I supposed to ask for directions or find treasures now?

Tianlu sighed in his heart.

If the Heavenly Dao knew what Tianlu was thinking at this moment, its fury would likely shatter the constraints of the Great Dao and descend with a Heavenly Punishment at any cost.

What was the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus?

It was a taboo existence with the potential to become the next Chaos Green Lotus and overturn the order of the Primordial World.

The Heavenly Dao could not tolerate an existence beyond its control, yet Tianlu's body was unique and his fate defied the heavens. The Heavenly Dao truly could do nothing to him, forced to act like an impotent, angry guard, striking him with divine lightning to vent its frustration.

Tianlu, however, did not care about the feelings of the Heavenly Dao at all. He sat on his cloud, enjoying the massage from the divine lightning.

While rubbing his chin, he earnestly pondered what other opportunities might remain in Kunlun Mountain.

"Kunlun Mountain is the ancestral vein of all mountains in the Primordial World, rich in spiritual energy and countless opportunities."

"According to my memories from my past life, this Kunlun Mountain is divided into East Kunlun and West Kunlun."

Tianlu rolled his eyes, analyzing the situation before him.

"My current location should be East Kunlun."

"After all, the Three Pure Ones' dojo and the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus are here. Since East Kunlun holds such a massive opportunity, who's to say West Kunlun doesn't hide some earth-shattering treasures as well?"

Thinking of this, Tianlu immediately turned his cloud around and sped toward West Kunlun, heading straight into the sky-filling Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

West Kunlun was the future dojo of the Queen Mother of the West, the renowned head of all female immortals in the Primordial World.

Tianlu sat on his cloud, rubbing his round chin, calculating to himself.

Since he had already pocketed the greatest opportunities from the Three Pure Ones' dojo in East Kunlun—the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus and a pool of Three Lights Divine Water—wouldn't it seem biased if he left the opportunities of West Kunlun untouched?

What was this called?

This was called being thorough!

East and West Kunlun were two sides of the same ancestral vein of the Primordial World. Since he was going to take opportunities, he naturally had to share the wealth; taking both would be the only way to make it complete.

However, although Tianlu was greedy for wealth and treasures and acted unscrupulously due to his status as a Child of the Great Dao, he still had a bottom line.

If the future head of female immortals, the Queen Mother of the West, had already taken human form and emerged, then so be it.

After all, they were all innate sacred beings nurtured by the Primordial World; they would see each other often, and charging into someone else's dojo to snatch their opportunities would be in poor taste.

But if the Queen Mother of the West had not yet emerged, then the opportunities in West Kunlun were ownerless. As the saying goes, heavenly treasures belong to the virtuous, and as the only Pixiu, an Auspicious Beast in the world, he, Tianlu, was naturally the most virtuous person in the Primordial World.

Long years passed, a hundred years later.

Tianlu steered his mid-grade innate spiritual treasure-level cloud, finally crossing endless mountains and rivers to arrive at the borders of West Kunlun, beginning to wander leisurely through this vast and mysterious mountain range.

As for the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning that continued to roar and persist above the firmament, Tianlu chose to ignore it as before.

As a Child of the Great Dao, blessed with the passive favor of the Great Dao, no matter how angry the Heavenly Dao became, it could only test the limits of the rules.

It dared not truly descend a death tribulation to erase him. This Purple Heaven Divine Lightning looked world-destroying, but in reality, it couldn't even damage a single hair on his body.

Relying on the unique innate talent of the Pixiu clan—an extremely keen perception of spiritual objects—Tianlu constantly sniffed out the aura of places rich with opportunities in the air.

As an Auspicious Beast in charge of wealth and fortune, he knew exactly where the treasures were the moment he smelled them.

But what made him feel very depressed was that because the Heavenly Dao's impotent, angry Purple Heaven Divine Lightning struck frequently, the violent Law of Destruction energy threw the innate spiritual energy of West Kunlun into chaos.

Every time he caught a faint trace of a rare treasure and prepared to follow the trail, he was forcibly interrupted by the deafening thunder and the shattering void.

This left Tianlu feeling incredibly frustrated, rolling his eyes repeatedly on his cloud.

Since his precise positioning was being interfered with, Tianlu simply gave up on detailed sensing and relied on his intuition to search toward the deepest, most mysterious locations in West Kunlun.

Thus, a rare sight, unseen for eons, appeared in West Kunlun.

A Pixiu walked, and the divine lightning celebrated.

With every step Tianlu took, hundreds upon thousands of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning bolts crashed down around him, as if firing a salute for his grand procession. The spectacle was so immense that the native creatures of West Kunlun scrambled into deep seclusion, not daring to even draw a full breath.

And so, Tianlu wandered through West Kunlun, braving the sky-filling lightning as he searched for opportunities, unaware that several hundred years had slipped by.

Finally, one day, as Tianlu was riding his Cloud Treasure through a range of treacherous peaks shrouded in mist, a dull thud echoed out. He felt as though he had collided with an invisible yet incredibly resilient barrier, which sent his Cloud Treasure recoiling back several thousand feet.

Tianlu brought his cloud to a halt and reached out a golden claw to rub his forehead. Far from being angry, his large eyes suddenly lit up, radiating a greedy glow.

Found it!

The fluctuations of such a hidden Xiantian Array were undoubtedly guarding a world-shaking opportunity.

Perhaps sensing that Tianlu had once again discovered an opportunity that did not belong to him, the already volatile temper of the Heavenly Dao spiraled completely out of control.

The Purple Heaven Divine Lightning above the firmament erupted instantly. The thunderclouds churned even more violently, and the purple electric arcs, resembling countless world-ending Dragon Clan, descended with boundless fury, striking madly all around Tianlu.
