Seizing Minghe's Natal Treasures

Pangu cleaved open the heavens and battled three thousand Chaos Fiendgods. In the end, his strength was exhausted, and he had no choice but to transform himself into all things in the Primordial World, completing the Primordial World.

His magical treasures also broke apart, turning into countless innate spiritual treasures.

Among them, the thirty-sixth-grade Genesis Azure Lotus bore four unripe lotus seeds and one mature seed. In the end, they too merged into the Primordial World and transformed into five lotus platforms.

The four unripe seeds became the twelfth-grade World-Purifying White Lotus, twelfth-grade Karma-Flame Red Lotus, twelfth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, and twelfth-grade Merit Lotus.

The mature lotus seed became the twenty-fourth-grade Genesis Azure Lotus.

The twelfth-grade World-Purifying White Lotus was Wuchen.

Of the remaining three lotus platforms, the World-Destroying Black Lotus was in Luo Hou's possession, the Karma-Flame Red Lotus was in Minghe's hands, and the Merit Lotus was held by Jieyin.

The twenty-fourth-grade Genesis Azure Lotus was within Mount Buzhou.

Wuchen shared the same origin as them. If he could devour their origin power, his foundation might have a chance to advance further.

Luo Hou had only just died, so Minghe and Jieyin surely had not yet taken form.

Seizing their natal treasures might forge karmic ties, but heaven punished those who did not act for themselves. So long as he could replenish his origin, then so be it if such karma was formed.

Wuchen took a single step, and the space before him was instantly torn apart.

A Great Luo Golden Immortal had leaped free of the river of time, cast off the shackles of space, and become immortal and indestructible, eternally free and unfettered. With a single thought, they could create countless arts; with another, extinguish the heavens.

Tearing space apart was merely a trivial skill.

Wuchen stepped into the spatial rift, which instantly healed behind him.

When Wuchen appeared again, he was already in a filthy land. Before his eyes stretched a boundless Blood Sea, its murderous aura soaring into the heavens.

At the sight of that overwhelming murderous aura, Wuchen inexplicably felt an urge to purify the filth.

His origin was stirring.

Purification was the origin of the World-Purifying White Lotus, and purifying filth was even more his instinct. It was only natural for such an impulse to arise.

However, the Blood Sea had been formed from Pangu's navel and was where the filth of the Primordial World gathered. It was not something a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal like him could purify completely.

The birth of the Asura Clan was an irreversible trend of destiny, and as the creator of the Asura Clan, Minghe was naturally protected by immense providence.

Finding him within this vast Blood Sea would likely not be easy.

Wuchen could only pray that their similar origins would guide him. Otherwise, he would have to wait until Minghe was born before plotting to obtain the Karma-Flame Red Lotus.

Still, it did not matter. Whether now or later was merely a matter of time.

He was in no hurry.

Wuchen paid no attention to the passage of time, simply wandering through the Blood Sea as though traveling.

The Blood Sea was deathly still, utterly devoid of life.

Anyone whose cultivation was insufficient would likely have their mind thrown into chaos the instant they entered, overwhelmed by the monstrous murderous aura.

One day.

Wuchen suddenly had a sudden premonition and inexplicably sensed a pull.

"Found it!"

The corners of Wuchen's lips curled up slightly, and with a flicker, he vanished from where he stood.

That inexplicable pull guided Wuchen to a spot deep within the Blood Sea. This place looked no different from any other part of the Blood Sea.

Even after Wuchen exerted all his strength, he could not detect the slightest anomaly.

Yet the unseen pull continued to guide him without pause.

His opportunity lay here.

Wuchen slowly raised his right hand and extended his index and middle fingers. Golden, silver, and violet light flowed between the two outstretched fingers.

"Go!"

Wuchen pointed with his sword fingers, and the Three-Colored Divine Light suddenly shot forth.

Boom!

The Three-Colored Divine Light struck an invisible innate formation. The formation immediately revealed itself and was corroded open with a massive hole.

Wuchen moved and entered the formation.

Within it floated a placenta at the center, greedily devouring the spiritual energy inside the formation.

Three treasures circled around it.

They were none other than the renowned Yuantu and Abi Swords and the twelfth-grade Karma-Flame Red Lotus.

The Yuantu and Abi Swords trembled faintly, radiating boundless killing intent and incomparably sharp sword intent. They displayed intense hostility toward Wuchen, this uninvited guest.

The twelfth-grade Karma-Flame Red Lotus burned with immeasurable karmic fire. The extreme heat caused ripples to appear in the surrounding air.

Yet it displayed no hostility toward Wuchen. Instead, it eagerly wanted to rush toward him, only to be firmly suppressed by Minghe, whose spiritual intelligence had long since awakened.

"Early Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

Wuchen smiled as he looked at Minghe, who clearly wanted to play dead while desperately suppressing the Karma-Flame Red Lotus.

"The three treasures are fated with me. If you refuse to accept this, come find me after you take form."

With that, Wuchen waved his right hand.

With Minghe's meager strength, there was no way he could resist Wuchen's plunder.

The three treasures flew into Wuchen's hands beyond their control.

Since the karmic tie had already been forged, Wuchen naturally did not mind deepening it further. Taking the Yuantu and Abi Swords would also weaken Minghe's strength.

If he had not been worried that killing Minghe would come at too great a price, he would not have minded sending him on his way.

"This junior would not dare!"

A man had to bow his head beneath another's roof. Minghe knew full well that he could not reveal even the slightest hatred now, or else it would likely not end with merely losing his treasures.

Still, Minghe remembered this karmic debt. One day, he would make the other party repay it.

Wuchen ignored Minghe and extended his divine sense into the three treasures in turn.

The Karma-Flame Red Lotus was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure containing the complete Law of Karma.

Its immeasurable karmic fire did not burn the flesh or destroy the primordial spirit. It burned only karma. The deeper one's karma, the fiercer the burning. Without merit protecting the body, one's Dao foundation would collapse and one's soul would perish.

The Yuantu and Abi Swords were two top-grade innate spiritual treasures. However, their origins were similar, allowing them to merge into one and rise to become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Both swords were swords of slaughter. One recorded the Dao of Massacre, while the other recorded the Law of Slaughter. Interestingly, each contained half of the Law of the Sword Dao.

Most crucially, the two swords possessed the ability to kill without incurring karma.

Such an ability was among the finest in the Primordial World.

He simply did not know whether they could withstand Minghe's karma.

Forget it. Better not gamble.

Winning would be fine, but if he lost, the price might not be something Wuchen could bear.

Now that the treasures were in hand, Wuchen had no reason to linger any longer. He immediately broke through the formation and departed, leaving Minghe behind to rage helplessly.

After leaving the Blood Sea, Wuchen directly tore through space and arrived beneath Mount Buzhou.

He gazed at Mount Buzhou, whose peak could not be seen, and felt its terrifying pressure.

Even as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Wuchen could not help but feel awe.

Worthy indeed of the great god Pangu.

Mount Buzhou, formed merely from his spine, already emitted such terrifying pressure. How terrifying, then, must Pangu's true strength have been?

Only now did Wuchen understand how small he was.

A Great Luo Golden Immortal was merely the starting point in this Primordial World.

If one wished to live freely and unfettered in the Primordial World, even a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal would not be enough. Only a Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal or a Saint would suffice.

As for which path he should take in the future, Wuchen had no plan for now.

Novels were novels; reality was reality.

What the true Primordial World was really like, whether it held any restrictions or special rules, could only be understood once he reached that stage.

For now, he could only take things one step at a time.

"Forget it. There's no use thinking so much. Time to search for treasures."

Wuchen shook his head and once more began searching aimlessly through Mount Buzhou.
