High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Fisherman Reaps the Profit

Da Wa remained calm in the face of danger and hurled the massive boulder in his hands at the scorpion with all his strength.

The boulder tore through the air with a howling wind and struck the scorpion squarely.

With a dull boom, the scorpion was instantly pinned beneath it, its enormous body unable to move under the crushing weight.

The billowing dust gradually settled, and the surroundings fell silent.

"Father, don't you think I'm amazing?" Pride gleamed in Da Wa's bright eyes as he eagerly awaited his father's praise and approval.

Xiao Teng looked at the high-spirited Da Wa, his heart filled with gratification.

"Da Wa is very impressive, but there are countless dangerous creatures like this. You must never let your guard down."

Patting his chest, Da Wa replied with complete confidence, "Don't worry, Father. I know what I'm doing."

With that, he ran toward where he had just moved the stone.

Within the hollow crushed out by the boulder, a strange treasure light now flickered.

Da Wa leaned closer and saw an axe lying within, radiating an enchanting glow.

Curiously, Da Wa reached out to pick up the axe. Yet even after exerting all his strength with both hands, the axe remained as immovable as though it had taken root.

"Father, this axe is so heavy."

Hearing this, Xiao Teng raised his brow slightly in surprise. If even naturally mighty Da Wa could not lift it, its weight had to be extraordinary.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Teng said, "Da Wa, use your spiritual power and find a way to refine this axe."

Upon hearing this, Da Wa closed his eyes slightly and focused his mind. Suddenly, inspiration flashed through his mind, and a method for refining spirit treasures emerged.

He hurriedly followed the method and cast the technique. Streams of spiritual light flickered and flowed between him and the axe, and before long, the axe was successfully refined.

The incomparably heavy axe instantly became as light as a feather, and Da Wa easily gripped it in his hand.

As he played with it, he also learned the name of this spirit treasure.

"Father, this is the Geng Metal Mountain-Splitting Axe. It seems to be a High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure."

A flash of surprise and delight crossed Xiao Teng's eyes. They had only just begun exploring Mount Buzhou, yet they had already gained such a harvest. Their luck was truly not bad.

It seemed the saying that Mount Buzhou was covered in treasures was no lie.

"With this spirit treasure to aid you, your strength will surely rise greatly, and I can be somewhat more at ease. Continue searching through this mountain. Perhaps there are even more treasures to be found."

"Alright, Father." Da Wa answered and continued roaming Mount Buzhou with great enthusiasm.

At this time, Mount Buzhou was shrouded in an immense Dao aura, like a natural barrier that blocked the prying eyes of creatures from beyond.

For this reason, outside creatures found it exceedingly difficult to set foot in this wondrous land. Otherwise, the countless rare treasures of Mount Buzhou would likely have long since been looted clean.

The reason Hongjun had been able to enter this place was presumably because of the Jade Butterfly of Creation above his head.

And that was precisely why he had been able to distribute so many treasures after preaching the Dao in Purple Cloud Palace.

Da Wa did not travel quickly. He journeyed through the mountain for tens of thousands of years, yet had only covered a small portion of Mount Buzhou.

Mount Buzhou's grandeur was truly beyond imagination, resembling a boundless world without end.

Da Wa's luck was genuinely enviable. Along the way, he gained an abundant harvest.

Besides the Geng Metal Mountain-Splitting Axe, he found two more High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures and over ten Mid-Grade Spirit Treasures.

As for low-grade spirit treasures, they could almost be found everywhere on Mount Buzhou. Xiao Teng simply had no interest in them.

During their time together, Xiao Teng gradually figured out Da Wa's current cultivation realm. Da Wa had entered the Golden Immortal realm from the moment he was born, and he had now successfully advanced to Mid-Golden Immortal.

Da Wa's foundations were exceedingly high, but he had yet to find a cultivation method suited to him. Thus, even while residing on Mount Buzhou, where spiritual energy was unimaginably abundant, his cultivation speed remained rather slow.

However, after these tens of thousands of years, Da Wa had gradually explored a cultivation method suitable for himself.

"Huh, what is that?"

An extremely intense treasure light flickered ahead.

That treasure light was more brilliant than the glow emitted by any treasure they had seen before. Da Wa thought that perhaps another High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure had appeared.

"Father, should we go take a look?"

Xiao Teng nodded slightly. "Yes, let's take a look. This treasure light will easily draw other creatures here to fight over it, but it would be a great pity to miss such a valuable treasure. Still, remember this: if you encounter a powerful enemy, do not act rashly. You must not fight over it."

Having received his orders, Da Wa sprinted toward the source of the treasure light and arrived at his destination in the blink of an eye.

Through Da Wa's vision, Xiao Teng saw a gigantic snake covered in scales that glimmered with a cold, ghostly sheen battling fiercely against a large bird with gorgeous feathers.

Not far from them, a brown pearl floated in midair. Treasure light wreathed its surface, while shadows and radiance intertwined and flowed around it. One glance was enough to show that it was no ordinary object.

The giant snake and the large bird both seemed determined to obtain the pearl, and thus they fought without restraint.

Da Wa secretly examined their auras and discovered that their realms were actually a notch higher than his own. They had already reached Late Golden Immortal.

"Da Wa, do not make any rash moves. First find somewhere hidden to conceal yourself. Once they have fought until both sides are badly wounded, we'll reap the fisherman's profit." Xiao Teng instructed in a low voice.

"Who is the fisherman?" Da Wa scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression.

"This... I'll explain it to you in detail later. You must be careful and vigilant. Watch for whether there are other creatures hiding nearby."

Xiao Teng warned Da Wa to remain alert. Though he wanted to reap the fisherman's profit, there was no guarantee that no one else was waiting behind like an oriole.

The giant snake suddenly leaped high into the air, its enormous body drawing an arc through the sky as it opened its blood-filled maw and lunged at the large bird.

The large bird refused to be outdone. Relying on its speed, it beat its wings with all its might and soared upward in an instant. Its sharp claws slashed viciously at the giant snake like blades, each strike leaving deep wounds upon the snake's body.

The giant snake roared in pain and fury, then suddenly unleashed a constricting technique. Its thick body instantly coiled around the large bird like a rope, binding it tightly.

The large bird struggled desperately, its flapping wings stirring gale after gale, yet it could not break free.

Pressing its advantage, the giant snake bit down on the large bird's wing, and blood instantly dyed its feathers red.

The large bird let out a pained cry. As the two struggled, they lost their balance and crashed to the ground like meteors, smashing out a massive crater.

A moment later, the giant snake slowly released the large bird. The victor had already been decided.

"Da Wa, now!" Xiao Teng shouted in a low voice.

Da Wa immediately understood. With the Geng Metal Mountain-Splitting Axe in hand, he shot out like an arrow loosed from a bow.

Having just defeated the large bird, the giant snake was about to go claim the treasure when Da Wa suddenly charged in. It hurriedly twisted aside to evade him.

Fury blazed within its enormous vertical pupils as it roared viciously, "You dare launch a sneak attack on me? You are simply seeking your own death!"

After dodging the attack, the giant snake opened its massive jaws, wide enough to swallow a small mountain, and bit toward Da Wa amid a foul wind.

Da Wa showed no fear. He raised the axe in his hand high overhead and chopped down fiercely.

Yet the giant snake was exceptionally agile. With a violent twist of its body, it easily evaded the fierce strike.

Immediately afterward, it seized the chance to coil around Da Wa's body, tightening its grip again and again as it attempted to crush him alive.
