Chapter 15: A Fortuitous Mine! Zhun Ti And Fei Lian!

At the foot of a towering mountain, nearly ten thousand creatures were confronting each other.

Yuan Lian had no interest in the battle near the mountain, instead, his attention was drawn to the aura released from the mountain.

After a brief investigation, he found that there were many metallic spiritual minerals in the mine, which would be somewhat helpful for cultivating the Gold Qi.

“Since I found this, it must be fate.” Yuan Lian immediately retracted the flying boat and descended from the sky.

However, he didn’t make a move immediately, but first escaped into the Pocket Dimension to gauge the situation.

“Xuan Hu, this is my Qingqiu territory, why haven’t you left yet?”

It was a female creature who spoke, and she looked at the rough-looking man in front of her with resentment.

“Hmph, your Qingqiu Mountain is still thousands of miles away; how can you claim this your territory?” Xuan Hu sneered disdainfully and continued, “This mountain range was discovered by my Black Tiger Clan. I advise you to leave, otherwise don’t blame me for disregarding the friendship of the alliance.”

The Primordial World is vast and boundless, and it has numerous creatures, and they often develop with the clan as the link.

There’s no shortage of resources for growth. Such a large vein of ore has unparalleled value whether it is used for cultivation or trading.

“Hmph, Xuan Hu, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re just coveting my clan’s mine. I advise you to stop dreaming,” Hu Jiu scolded the shameless Xuan Hu angrily.

“Hmph, then let’s fight.” Xuan Hu said confidently, as violent spirit energy erupted from his body.

Since the Black Tiger Clan was stronger than the Qingqiu Fox Clan, if they didn’t care about the other clans around them, the Qingqiu Fox Clan would have been wiped out long ago.

However, although the Qingqiu Fox Clan has a backing, but they are not stronger than the Black Tiger Clan.

“Xuan Hu, do you want to destroy the unity of the alliance? I have sent someone to inform the elders of the situation here. If you dare to do something, you will be wiped out, won’t you?”

In the Pocket Dimension, Yuan Lian’s observed everything with interest, “Interesting, clans and alliances have started to form.”

“However, for a group of acquired spirits who don’t even have a Golden Immortal, even if they have a backing, it’s not reliable.”

“It’s basically safe.”

In fact, Yuan Lian doesn’t know what realm is below Golden Immortal, maybe there are some, maybe there aren’t.

But he could feel that these spirit beasts were too weak, and there was nothing worthy of praise except that the elders he heard from them, which piqued his interest.

After Yuan Lian came out of the Pocket Dimension, he didn’t waste words, and directly released the aura of a Golden Immortal, and the vast spirit energy engulfed the area.

Under the strong oppression of the powerful Golden Immortal, all the creatures present prostrated themselves on the ground in an instant, their faces terrified.

If it wasn’t for Yuan Lian’s control over his aura, he would have crush them accidentally.

“From now on, this mine belongs to this deity,” Yuan Lian’s voice was very light, but it contained profound majesty.

After finishing speaking, he ignored them, waved his spirit energy to split the mine, and then swept away all the ore within.

“Proto-Qi of Gold, not bad.”

This is a vein derived from the Law of the Gold, which will be used in the future.

After doing this, Yuan Lian immediately turned into a rainbow and left.

“It seems that you can’t cultivate while you travel. Now that the Primordial World has just opened, there are treasures everywhere. It’s a pity to miss them.”

Yuan Lian slowed down, and swept away with her divine sense while walking forward.

“Maybe, wherever I come across a Congenital Treasure or something, I can make a huge profit.”

Just after Yuan Lian left, the Black Tiger Clan and Qingqiu Fox Clan who were originally confronting each other also dispersed.

The battle was essentially for the development of the clan, for more resources. Now that the resources are gone, there was no need to fight to the death.

However, they all reported back to the alliance that they met a terrifying strong man today.

“Wasn’t it said that the Primordial World is full of spiritual treasures?”

After Yuan Lian casually put away the piece of wood-type spiritual material in front of him, he grumbled.

Over the past few hundred years, his traveling speed has slowed down a lot, and with the mentality of not missing anything, he had found some natural treasures.

But most of them were metallic ore veins, or acquired spiritual roots, and a small part were wood-type and water-type spiritual materials.

But not a single innate spirit artifact was to be seen!

“It shouldn’t be like this, right? Now the spiritual veins in the Wild West have not been destroyed, and the spiritual energy is also abundant. Why have I never encountered a single innate spiritual treasure?”

Yuan Lian couldn’t figure it out.

“Huh? There are fierce beasts!”

Suddenly, Yuan Lian suddenly looked in a certain direction.

Hundreds of millions of miles away, Yuan Lian sensed the violent Law of Chaos through his divine senses, and he was very familiar with the unique traces of the Law of the Chaos Demon Gods.

Without hesitation, he sped up immediately.

Compared to the innate spirit treasure that cannot be seen in the shadow, the fierce beast is more real.

In a messy mountain range.

The chaotic and violent laws were colliding, and the sky seemed to be shattered inch by inch like crystal glass.

Two Innate Sacred Beings in the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm were besieging and killing a terrifying beast that looked like a tiger or a leopard.

This was a ferocious beast in the mid-Gold Immortal stage; it was covered in armor, and the terrifying black fire steamed, piercing through the sky, and the corrupting the laws around it.

“Roar!!!”

The ferocious beast roared and rushed towards the enemy in front of it. It only had destruction in its eyes, endless destruction.

Facing the terrifying supernatural powers of the ferocious beast, the two Innate Sacred Beings both chose to dodge by coincidence.

Yuan Lian saw them break through the infinite space in an instant and travel through the space in different directions.

“Fei Lian, if you don’t use all your strength, how can you kill this beast?” Zhun Ti asked Fei Lian angrily.

“Zhun Ti, why are you trying your best?” Fei Lian raised his brows slightly and said unhurriedly.

Although they are in alliance, they are not of one mind. They all want to let the other party put in more effort, so as not to hurt themselves.

After all, the Laws of the Chaos Demon God are too weird, and the terrifying power of turning order into disorder is enough to damage the foundation of their cultivation.

“Okay, everyone, don’t hold back and kill this beast as soon as possible. If Qiong Qi, the Beast King, finds out, something bad will happen.”

As Zhun Ti said, he sacrificed a piece of Spirit Treasure, a tree branch with bright aura, and once it was taken out, it immediately shone with brilliance, illuminating the thousands of miles around them.

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree is a branch of Zhun Ti’s connate spiritual root Bodhi tree, which is refined by combining gold, silver, colored glaze and other seven treasures.

Although it is an acquired middle-grade spirit treasure, it is very suitable for Zhun Ti’s own Dao, and can exert the power close to that of a top-grade spirit treasure.

Hearing what Zhun Ti said, Fei Lian looked a little cautious.

Obviously, the horror of Qiong Qi, the Beast King, made him have to deal with it carefully.

After all, when they hunted fierce beasts, they were actually making an enemy of Qiongqi, and it was really not appropriate to delay.

Thinking of this, Fei Lian also became serious, and saw a six-foot-long precious fan appearing in his hand, inlaid with many precious stones, each shining with glory, more gorgeous than Zhun Ti’s own Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.

Holding the spirit treasure in his hand, Fei Lian swung it vigorously amidst the surge of magic power.

In an instant, the endless winds rolled back, and all kinds of chaotic winds in the sky seemed to be controlled by him, wrapping the fierce beasts in groups, about to smash its flesh and blood.

Zhun Ti also shot directly, the treasure tree brushed past, and thousands of seven-color precious lights surged out.

Where the precious light passed, everything dissipated, and even the terrifying flame of the Law of Chaos was dimmed.

“He’s so strong, worthy of being the Future Saint of the West!”

In the sky, Yuan Lian quietly observed the battlefield.

“Zhun Ti is originally from the Wild West, so it’s not surprising that he appeared here, but why did Fei Lian also appear here?”

Fei Lian, as he remembered, seemed to be one of the top ten Demon Saints of the Demon Clan in the legends of later generations.

‘Why did he appear in the west now, and, has he been in the wild so early?’

“What’s more, what happened to the Beast King Qiong Qi that Zhun Ti mentioned, they all look terrified?”

Yuan Lian suddenly felt that he didn’t understand this Primordial World anymore.

Mythological Tidbits: Zhun Ti & Fei Lian

Zhun Ti (Cundi): In Chinese mythology and the classic novel Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen Yanyi), Zhun Ti is a powerful Daoist sage from the West who, along with Jie Yin, founded the Western Sect (a precursor to Buddhism). He is often depicted with eighteen arms and twenty-four heads, wielding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to brush away enemy weapons. Historically, he corresponds to the Bodhisattva Cundi in Mahayana Buddhism, revered as the “Mother of the Seven Billion Buddhas.”

Fei Lian: Fei Lian is an ancient Chinese wind god and a mythical beast. Often described as a hybrid creature with the body of a deer, the head of a bird (sparrow), horns, and a snake’s tail, he controls the winds. In legends, he served as a minister to King Zhou of Shang or fought alongside the war god Chi You against the Yellow Emperor, eventually being executed or banished for causing storms.
