Fourth, a small Jade Disc of Creation Fragment.

In terms of the Great Dao, innate Dao resonance, and power contained within it, it was roughly comparable to a High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

However, the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment carried the three thousand Great Daos and could enhance comprehension and assist in Dao enlightenment. It was an ultimate treasure for comprehending the Dao, and its true value was in no way inferior to a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Yuan Yan carefully took stock of Yingzhou Immortal Island, collecting every Innate Spiritual Treasure that could be taken and harvesting every fruit from the Innate Spiritual Roots that could be picked.

Thinking of the various treasures contained within Yingzhou Immortal Island, greed could not help but rise in Yuan Yan's heart. "One Yingzhou Immortal Island alone contains so many treasures, including the Twelfth-Rank World-Purifying White Lotus."

"Then what treasures do the remaining two of the Three Immortal IslandsPenglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island—contain?"

"Could treasures such as the Yellow Central Plum, Five-Needle Pine, and Grandmist Measuring Ruler be on Penglai Immortal Island or Fangzhang Immortal Island?"

"It is said that the Three Immortal Islands were all formed from fragments of chaos and share some sort of connection. I wonder whether that is true. Could I use Yingzhou Immortal Island to find the whereabouts of the other two islands?"

At that thought, Yuan Yan exchanged glances with Yuan Lun, Yuan Jie, and Yuan Ling. In an instant, they understood one another's intentions.

Boom! Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling operated their respective Great Daos without holding anything back. Using the authority over the island domain wielded by Yingzhou Immortal Island's boundary monument, they deduced things connected to Yingzhou Immortal Island and searched for the precise locations of Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island.

However, perhaps their current cultivation realms were still insufficient, or perhaps the Three Immortal Islands had always been independent and did not share any particularly close connection.

After a long period of deduction, they ultimately found nothing.

Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling dispersed the Dao aura surrounding them. Yuan Yan frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "It seems forcing the deduction is useless. The connection between the Three Immortal Islands may be extremely obscure, beyond what our current realms can perceive. Or perhaps the Three Immortal Islands are inherently independent, and it is simply impossible to calculate the locations of the other two from one of them."

"Main body!" Yuan Jie said. "I fear the Three Immortal Islands are each independent, with no special connection between them. Naturally, one island cannot serve as a guide to find the other two.

"If that were not the case, then after Dongwang Gong found Penglai Immortal Island, he should also have been able to find Yingzhou Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island. He should have had the Twelfth-Rank World-Purifying White Lotus and other supreme treasures at his side.

"Even if he still would not have been a match for Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who wielded an Innate Supreme Treasure, he should not have fallen so easily."

"That is true." Yuan Yan nodded lightly.

"Forget it. What is gained is fortune; what is lost is fate! Our harvest this time is already plentiful enough!"

With that, Yuan Yan temporarily set aside his obsession with Penglai and Fangzhang Immortal Islands.

"Main body, since we will not continue deducing the whereabouts of Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island, what should we do next? Go to the Western Continent to repair the earth veins, or first completely digest and absorb the memories and insights of the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor?" Yuan Jie asked.

"Naturally, we will first completely digest and absorb the memories and insights of the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor," Yuan Yan answered without hesitation.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Yan continued, "This time, we will enter seclusion together. We will emerge only after you break through to the Late Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm and I break through to the Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm. Then we will go take a look at the Western Continent."

"Th-this... would that not be somewhat inappropriate?" Yuan Ling asked hesitantly.

For the three of them, breaking through to the Late Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm would not be difficult, but it certainly could not be accomplished in a short time.

Since the four of them were originally one entity, they could share each other's insights into the three thousand laws and Great Daos. This gave them exceptionally deep foundations.

However, they still needed to thoroughly comprehend certain Great Daos that corresponded with and suited their own Daos in order to better evolve and perfect them.

Without relying on any external aid and only cultivating through devoted Dao enlightenment, they would need at least fifty or sixty yuanhui to break through to the Late Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm.

For Yuan Yan to break through to the Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm, he would not only need to deeply comprehend the three thousand laws and Great Daos and accumulate sufficient foundations, but also evolve and perfect his own Dao.

Without relying on any external aid and only cultivating through devoted Dao enlightenment, he would likely need more than a hundred yuanhui before breaking through to the Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm.

They had only just received this opportunity, yet they were about to enter seclusion for such an extended period without going to cleanse and repair the Primordial World. That did not seem very appropriate!

If not for the Twelfth-Rank World-Purifying White Lotus suppressing their Fortune, Yuan Ling would even worry that their Fortune might suddenly drain away while they were in seclusion and enemies would come knocking at their door.

Yuan Yan and Yuan Ling's minds were connected, and Yuan Yan instantly understood his concerns. With a soft laugh, he said, "If we do not use external aid, then yes, it will indeed take you a long time to break through to the Late Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm, and me a long time to reach the Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm."

"But why did we painstakingly search for so many treasures and painstakingly cleanse and repair the Three Clans Battlefield to earn Heavenly Dao Merit? Was it not to raise our cultivation realms? The treasures we gather and the Merit we earn only truly belong to us once they have been turned into our strength!"

"Moreover, once our cultivation realms rise, our efficiency in cleansing and repairing the Primordial World will naturally increase greatly, allowing us to earn even more Heavenly Dao Merit."

"Main body, you mean—" Before Yuan Jie could finish, Yuan Yan said firmly, "That is right. During this seclusion, we will not only use Heavenly Dao Merit, but also the fruits of many Innate Spiritual Roots, such as Innate Wisdom Fruit, Innate Spirit-Nourishing Fruit, Innate Blood-Soul Fruit, Yellow Millet Dream Rice, Yinyang Twin-Bloom Lotus Seeds, World-Purifying White Lotus Seeds, Innate Pure-Spirit Tea Leaves, and Three Lights Divine Water—"

"We possess the first batch of fruits from these Innate Spiritual Roots. This first batch was nourished while hanging on the trees for countless years, making its quality far superior to normally produced fruits. After consuming them, we can easily comprehend the corresponding Great Daos and rapidly accumulate sufficient foundations."

"Some Innate Spiritual Root fruits can even assist with Dao enlightenment and greatly benefit the evolution and perfection of our own Daos, such as Innate Wisdom Fruit, Innate Pure-Spirit Tea Leaves, and World-Purifying White Lotus Seeds."

"After consuming these fruits, then using the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment and even burning Heavenly Dao Merit to enter a state of enlightenment where we become one with the Dao, our cultivation speed will be dozens or even hundreds of times faster than normal Dao cultivation."

"Perhaps in only a few yuanhui, you will break through to the Late Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm, while I will reach the Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm."

"Good!"

Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling all nodded in agreement with Yuan Yan's decision.

In the blink of an eye, the four returned to the shore of the Three Lights Divine Water Lake. Each placed the World-Purifying White Lotus back into the lake and sat cross-legged upon a lotus platform.

The World-Purifying White Lotus bloomed with soft, pure white light that purified the world. Bathed in it, all distracting thoughts vanished from the four, and their minds became utterly clear.

Without the slightest hesitation, the four first took out and consumed Innate Wisdom Fruit. Their primordial spirit auras connected, while the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment hung in the air and cast down mystical light from the three thousand Great Daos. Yuan Yan and the others all entered a deep state of enlightenment.

(The first batch of Innate Wisdom Fruit produced twelve fruits in total. Yuan Yan, Nuwa, and Fuxi had previously used three, leaving nine remaining.)
