The Surging Wave Palm struck the grand formation.

One wave followed another.

Terrifying power layered upon itself again and again.

Stacking in succession, it ultimately underwent a qualitative transformation.

With a sharp crack.

The Five Absolutes Grand Formation was instantly shattered.

The Five Absolutes Daoists simultaneously spat out blood, their bodies tumbling down one after another.

They fell directly from the mountain peak to its foot.

With several thunderous crashes.

They smashed five deep craters into the ground.

"Brothers, we are no match for this man. Run!"

Golden Absolute Daoist's expression was grim.

The Daoist who had suddenly appeared before them was simply too powerful. He had not even exerted himself; with nothing more than a casual palm strike, he had instantly broken their brothers' strongest formation.

If this man had possessed killing intent.

That single move would have taken their lives on the spot.

How could they dare remain entangled with him?

He quickly fled into the distance with his other heavily injured brothers.

How could they still care about prey or magic treasures?

They only feared that Hongxuan would change his mind and leave them here for good.

"Daoist brother, are we really just letting them leave?"

Golden Fortune Daoist asked unwillingly.

"I bear them neither grudge nor grievance. A slight lesson is enough!"

"The terms of my deal were only to save you, nothing more. They did not include killing."

Hongxuan spoke calmly.

The Metal Spirit Pearl was already in hand, and he had no plans to linger.

His target before him was no longer of any use to him. As for the secrets they carried, he could not be bothered to investigate them.

He still needed to search for the final Earth Spirit Pearl!

"Daoist brother, your strength is extraordinary. You are both Grand Golden Immortals, yet those five fellows could not even withstand a single move from you!"

"If you had not deliberately spared them, they might have died on the spot."

Hongxuan merely smiled and did not respond.

After sweeping his gaze around once more, he said:

"The atmosphere for cultivation here has been ruined. It is not suitable to remain long!"

"Daoist friend, our transaction is concluded. I shall take my leave!"

With that, Hongxuan prepared to depart.

But Golden Fortune Daoist on the other side became anxious.

"Daoist brother, wait. I have another great opportunity. How about we cooperate once more?"

"If we can seize it, your chances of advancing to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm will increase by severalfold!"

Hearing this, Hongxuan's outstretched foot stopped at once.

He turned to look at Golden Fortune Daoist.

Waiting for him to explain further.

Hongxuan simply watched him in silence, showing no intention of speaking.

Yet he had also abandoned his intention to leave.

He wanted to hear what this fellow's so-called opportunity truly was.

At the same time, he silently activated the Grand Deduction Art.

Perhaps it was only at the rudimentary stage, so he could not deduce the specifics.

However, it confirmed one thing.

This opportunity was actually real.

Moreover, it would be extremely useful to him.

This made Hongxuan even more interested.

What a pity. If his Grand Deduction Art were complete and he knew the details, he would not have to be so passive now.

"Daoist brother, I was once fortunate enough to discover a Land of Opportunity."

"Unfortunately, I was too arrogant at the time and too confident in my own strength. I actually intended to enter alone and seize the opportunity."

"But I never expected it to contain great danger. Even after exhausting every method I had, I failed."

"Not only that, I suffered severe injuries."

"After escaping that dangerous place, I discovered that my cultivation had begun to decline strangely and rapidly over time."

"Now, I have even fallen to the mere Golden Immortal realm."

"If I cannot find a solution, I will continue falling, perhaps even becoming a mortal, bound by lifespan and ultimately dying with my Dao extinguished!"

Golden Fortune Daoist revealed a sorrowful expression.

It was unclear whether he was putting on an act or speaking from the heart.

Perhaps it was both.

Hongxuan did not care about Golden Fortune Daoist's little schemes.

Instead, he was filled with curiosity about this so-called Land of Opportunity.

"All these years, I have been searching for Daoist friends capable of returning with me to the Land of Opportunity."

"Unfortunately, they were either harboring ill intentions or too weak."

"Now that I have encountered Daoist brother, I have finally realized that you are the person I have been waiting for, the one who can help me!"

Golden Fortune Daoist looked at Hongxuan expectantly, hoping he would nod in agreement.

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.

They had only met by chance.

How could Hongxuan possibly trust him so easily?

Even with the Grand Deduction Art, he needed to remain cautious beyond caution.

If he failed to obtain the opportunity and instead followed in this man's footsteps, that would be the true tragedy.

"Heh, given your condition, why not seek the Sage's help?"

"Sages are omnipotent. Surely they cannot be unable to resolve your problem?"

"If you sincerely joined a Sage's sect, perhaps you might even be valued and entrusted with important responsibilities!"

Hongxuan was quite puzzled.

"A Sage? Daoist brother, do you truly think Sages are omnipotent?"

"The Primordial Wilderness runs far deeper than it appears on the surface."

"Otherwise, one day in the future, you will regret it beyond all measure."

Golden Fortune Daoist sneered, utterly dismissive.

But when he mentioned the deeper secrets of the Primordial Wilderness, he abruptly stopped.

"How am I to believe that the opportunity you speak of truly exists? Or rather, how can I truly trust you?"

"What if you scheme against me midway?"

"Rest assured, I will make you believe me!"

Golden Fortune Daoist's expression turned solemn. He then took out a jade communication talisman and a piece of beast hide, handing them to Hongxuan.

"Daoist brother is still a Grand Golden Immortal and cannot help for the time being. Once you advance to Grand Luo, we can confirm whether we will cooperate!"

"However, to build trust for the future, I will first give you an opportunity."

"The location of the opportunity is marked on the beast-hide map."

"If you can obtain it successfully, you will surely advance to Grand Luo more quickly, and it will bring you boundless benefits on your future path toward the Great Dao."
