Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

Chen Changsheng raised his head and scanned the entire Penglai Immortal Island with his gaze, as if he could already see the level nine treasure chest radiating supreme light, quietly waiting for his visit in some corner.

His eyes were frighteningly bright, filled with undisguised desire.

He turned his head, looked at the bewildered Xuan Turtle, grinned, and revealed an incredibly bright smile that also gave the Xuan Turtle a chilling feeling.

"Senior, don't just stand there!"

"Those were just appetizers, nothing to brag about!"

"Now, the real meal is just beginning!"

Chen Changsheng shouldered the treasure-digging shovel and waved his hand with boundless pride.

"Let's go, Black Tortoise! ​​I'll take you treasure hunting!"

"Digging...treasure hunting?"

Xuan Gui was completely dumbfounded when he heard Chen Changsheng's heroic declaration.

His mind, which had just been reshaped and was still not quite used to it, was a little slow to catch on.

He pointed in the direction where Chen Changsheng had just put away the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, then pointed to the tattered shovel on his shoulder, and asked in an extremely confused tone.

"Young friend, you...you're not joking, are you?"

"Isn't that Primordial Measuring Ruler the greatest treasure of this place, the very opportunity the Dao Ancestor spoke of?"

"This...this is just an appetizer?"

Xuan Turtle felt like he was going crazy.

That is a treasure of acquired merit!

Its power rivals that of a supreme innate treasure!

Treasures of this caliber would be considered powerful artifacts capable of suppressing the fortunes of an entire sect throughout the entire prehistoric world!

Even a sage would be moved by it!

In this kid's mouth, it became an "appetizer"?

Then what kind of earth-shattering existence must his "main meal" be?

Is it a Chaos Treasure?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Since Pangu created the world, the Chaos Green Lotus shattered, the Chaos Pearl disappeared, and no Chaos Treasure has ever appeared on the surface in the entire prehistoric world!

This kid must be so excited about getting a treasure that he's lost his mind.

Chen Changsheng looked at the Xuan Turtle's "Are you crazy?" expression and just smiled mysteriously.

"Senior, that's what you call vision!"

"Your vision is too narrow!"

He patted the black tortoise on the shoulder and said earnestly, "A mere acquired treasure of merit has shocked you this much? What if we unearth an even more powerful treasure later? Won't your Dao heart shatter on the spot and you faint?"

The corner of the Xuan Turtle's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

A mere treasure of acquired merit?

Listen to this! Is this even human language?!

He has lived for countless years, from the chaotic era to the present day, and he has seen crazy people, but he has never seen anyone as crazy as this!

However, when he thought of Chen Changsheng's series of illogical and heaven-defying actions, the Xuan Turtle's doubts wavered a bit.

This kid is a complete variable; he can't be judged by common sense.

He said yes, what if... what if it really is?

"good!"

The black tortoise took a deep breath, and its eyes became solemn.

"Then today, this old man will broaden his horizons and see what kind of divine object this 'main course' you speak of is!"

He wanted to see just how much of a surprise (or shock) this kid could bring him.

"That's more like it!"

Chen Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, then closed his eyes and completely immersed himself in the system interface.

In his field of vision, a three-dimensional map of Penglai Immortal Island, visible only to him, slowly unfolded.

In a certain area of ​​the map, a red arrow emitting nine-colored light and marked with a huge "nine" is flashing continuously, making it extremely eye-catching!

"Found it!"

Chen Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Senior, stay close!"

He called out, identified the direction, and then transformed into a streak of light, flying rapidly towards the location of the treasure chest.

The black tortoise dared not delay and quickly followed.

The two traveled swiftly through the air above the ethereal Penglai Island, one after the other.

Along the way, countless exotic flowers and rare herbs, as well as innate spiritual roots that had long since disappeared from the outside world, swept past them.

On several occasions, the Xuan Turtle saw some innate spiritual roots of extremely high grade, such as a "Three Talents Enlightenment Fruit Tree" that bore three Dao Fruits and flowed with the Three Talents Laws. This was a top-grade innate spiritual root!

Even a sage would pick it if he saw it.

He was about to remind Chen Changsheng when he found that Chen Changsheng didn't even bother to look at it, focusing solely on moving forward. He acted as if the incredibly precious spiritual roots by the roadside were nothing more than worthless weeds.

The black tortoise's heart was once again deeply pierced.

What a waste of money!

That's such a waste!

He grew increasingly curious and expectant about the so-called "level nine treasure chest".

What kind of treasure could make this kid discard even a top-grade innate spiritual root like trash?

The two flew for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, passing through the core area of ​​the immortal island and arriving at a relatively remote edge area where the spiritual energy was much thinner.

Finally, Chen Changsheng stopped in front of what looked like an ordinary valley.

The valley was small and barren, with only some jagged rocks and hardly any weeds.

Compared to the otherworldly paradises and treasure troves we had passed through before, this place was like a desolate, godforsaken backwater.

"arrive!"

Chen Changsheng looked at the valley in front of him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"This is it!"

The black tortoise landed beside him, its brows furrowing as it looked at the desolate scene before it.

His powerful divine sense swept across the entire valley like a tidal wave, probing inch by inch, scanning back and forth several times.

But the result was a huge disappointment to him.

There is nothing here.

There were no restrictions, no formations, no hidden spaces, and not even a trace of precious energy.

It was just an ordinary, desolate valley.

He turned his head and looked at Chen Changsheng, who had a confident expression. He could no longer hide the doubt in his eyes.

"Young friend, are you... sure this is the place?"

The black tortoise's voice was filled with deep doubt and confusion.

He simply couldn't reconcile the desolate place before him with the earth-shattering "main course" Chen Changsheng had described.

The difference is too big.

It's like someone telling you that the palace's treasury is actually built under the latrine of a thatched hut—it's hard to accept.

"Of course I'm sure!"

Chen Changsheng answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

He looked at the suspicious look in the black tortoise's eyes and chuckled.

"Senior, you just don't understand, do you?"

"This is called 'true seclusion in the city,' or rather, 'the greatest truths are the simplest,' a return to one's true nature!"

"How could truly top-tier treasures be like those ordinary objects, radiating countless rays of light and auspicious energy, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know they were there?"

"The more impressive something is, the more ordinary it looks on the outside. That's the demeanor of a master, understand?"

Chen Changsheng began to spout nonsense with a straight face, instilling his own fabricated "treasure hunting theory" into the Xuan Turtle.
