It would not be too late to transplant them after he had his own abode.
Mount Fangzhang truly had no shortage of resources.
Unfortunately, all he saw along the way were acquired spiritual roots, not a single Innate Spiritual Root.
He continued flying toward the center of Mount Fangzhang.
He had a feeling that the greatest opportunity of this journey lay at the heart of the island.
Sure enough.
When Hongxuan arrived at his destination, an even purer and denser spiritual aura washed over him.
A noble violet glow instantly seized all his attention.
The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler!
An acquired merit supreme treasure!
It was actually here?
Delight flashed across Hongxuan's face as he immediately sent a trace of his primordial spirit imprint into it.
The next moment, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler abruptly concealed its aura.
It turned into a streak of violet light and entered his palm.
The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler was an acquired merit supreme treasure, able to kill without incurring karmic backlash.
Most importantly, its offensive power was astonishing.
From now on, it would serve as his usual offensive treasure.
As for the Eternal Dao Tome and the Destiny Compass, Hongxuan always had the feeling that they should not be revealed lightly.
Otherwise, accidents could easily occur.
After putting away the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, Hongxuan finally noticed a spiritual pool not far away.
It was filled with white lotus flowers.
The one at the center, in particular, had reached the twelfth grade.
The Twelfth-Grade White Lotus of Purification.
And the water in the pool... was Three Lights Divine Water?!
Excitement appeared on Hongxuan's face. Before he could calm himself, a thunderous boom suddenly echoed out.
Without anyone noticing.
Someone had actually discovered Mount Fangzhang outside the island and begun attacking its grand formation.
Judging by the sheer force of the attack, the intruder's cultivation was undoubtedly far beyond his own.
Hongxuan did not dare delay.
He fired out streams of mana, and in an instant, the entire lotus pool—including the White Lotus of Purification within it and the Three Lights Divine Water—was collected away.
There was no time to inspect them carefully now.
The enemy would soon breach the grand formation.
He had to find a way to leave as quickly as possible.
With a sweep of his right hand.
Every trace of his aura in the surroundings vanished completely.
At the same time, he concealed both his figure and aura, flying toward the edge of the island.
At this point, nearly all the valuable resources on the island had been taken by Hongxuan.
Even if those who came later entered the island, they would only be left with scraps.
On Mount Fangzhang.
Duke of the East led the immortals under his command in breaking through the grand formation with great difficulty. As they stared at the Immortal Island, now covered in devastation.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
Shock, confusion, fury, and incomprehension filled their hearts.
The pressure of a Quasi-Sage spread out, nearly causing space itself to solidify.
Most infuriating of all, he could not even deduce who had done it.
It was blatant humiliation, a vicious slap across his face.
"Ah! Damn it, who was it that stole my Mount Fangzhang?!"
"Pursue them! Send everyone out to search carefully! Within a million li, do not let a single suspicious person escape!"
Hongxuan swiftly flew toward the Primordial Wilderness continent without pausing in the slightest.
Before long, a heaven-shaking roar came from behind him.
Even Hongxuan could not help feeling a chill run through his heart upon hearing it.
Fortunately, he had the Destiny Compass to conceal the Heavenly Secret.
Otherwise, with even a slight deduction from Duke of the East, his whereabouts would have been exposed.
No matter how powerful Duke of the East was or how vast his influence, being one step too late meant he had completely lost the opportunity.
In the end, it could only benefit Hongxuan.
Even now, Hongxuan felt lingering fear when he thought about having seized an opportunity right before Duke of the East's eyes.
Although Duke of the East was inferior to Dijun, he was still one of the Primordial Wilderness's foremost great powers, a Quasi-Sage expert.
Had the slightest accident occurred earlier, he might not even have had time to flee.
At the hands of the enraged Duke of the East, he could only have perished, body and soul extinguished.
Even if Lord Tongtian learned of it afterward, he probably would not have cared much.
Fortunately, his methods were extraordinary, allowing him to seize chestnuts from the fire.
It had truly been thrilling!
An acquired top-grade merit supreme treasure, the Twelfth-Grade White Lotus of Purification, a pool of Three Lights Divine Water.
Along with numerous acquired spiritual roots, his gains had been truly abundant.
If the Three Xiao Sisters learned that he had gained so much before even setting foot on the Primordial Wilderness continent, they would surely be envious!
"No, I need to keep a low profile for a while!"
"If Duke of the East uses some strange method to trace things back to me, it will be troublesome."
"The Destiny Compass is even more useful than I imagined. I need to spend more time comprehending it."
"First, I'll find a place to refine the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler and the Twelfth-Grade White Lotus of Purification. I can travel the Primordial Wilderness afterward!"
With that thought, Hongxuan concealed his aura once more, accelerated, and headed toward the Primordial Wilderness.
Golden Turtle Island.
Within Biyou Palace, Lord Tongtian had also sensed the emergence of Mount Fangzhang.
Mount Fangzhang was destined by Heaven to belong to Duke of the East.
However, what surprised him was that.
Someone had actually gotten there before him.
They had taken the island's true treasures in advance, leaving behind only an empty island.
As a result, its value to Duke of the East had been drastically reduced.
When he first made his deduction, he had unexpectedly failed to determine who was responsible.
Only after deducing with all his strength did he discover in astonishment.
That it had all been the work of his newly accepted disciple, Hongxuan.
Even he was stunned.
Lord Tongtian was a Sage. Logically, nothing in the Primordial Wilderness should have been able to escape his awareness.
Yet now, he had needed to exert his full strength.
How could he not be shocked? How could he not be curious?
How had Hongxuan accomplished all this?
With Hongxuan's mere Profound Immortal cultivation, how had he escaped from the encirclement of the Purple Palace faction?
He had even done so without Duke of the East noticing.
Was Duke of the East too useless, or were Hongxuan's methods simply too powerful?
