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

"Just now, this disciple sensed something in my heart, and in the darkness, I felt that there seemed to be an unseen treasure within your Zixiao Palace that I was destined to possess!"

When Chen Changsheng uttered those words, the unchanging Daoist aura of the entire Zixiao Palace seemed to freeze for a moment.

The air was deathly silent.

The blurry figure of Hongjun Daozu sat there, motionless.

He didn't speak.

But Chen Changsheng could sense that an invisible and intangible gaze, yet capable of seeing through all things, was firmly locked onto him.

There was no anger, no pressure, only a pure... bewilderment in that gaze.

Yes, I was completely bewildered.

Chen Changsheng was also very nervous, and his palms were sweating.

The most exciting thing he had ever done in his life was digging for treasure under the futon of the Tongtian Grandmaster.

But right now, he's asking Dao Ancestor Hongjun for something!

This isn't just being bold, this is downright insane!

But he had no choice.

A level nine treasure!

It's right in front of us, why not dig? That would be worse than killing him!

Moreover, his explanation was flawless.

In the primordial world, the most important thing is "fate".

Treasures possess a spirit and will choose their own masters. It is perfectly normal to discover a treasure you are destined to find when you have a premonition in your heart.

Who is Chen Changsheng? The greatest variable in the primordial world! The chosen one!

He can sense treasures that others can't, isn't that very unusual?

Chen Changsheng remained bowed, maintaining the posture of greeting, frantically encouraging himself in his mind.

Don't be a coward, just do it!

The bold get rich, the timid starve!

As long as the Dao Ancestor gives his approval, he's determined to dig up Zixiao Palace today! Even Jesus couldn't stop him, that's what he said!

a long time.

When Chen Changsheng felt his back was about to break, the emotionless voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun finally rang out again.

"treasure?"

His voice carried a clear hint of confusion.

"An unseen treasure?"

Hongjun was genuinely confused.

What kind of place is Zixiao Palace?

This is his sacred ground! It is the manifestation of the Great Dao's rules after he merged with the Dao!

Every blade of grass, every tree, every brick, and every tile here is formed from Dao patterns. Let alone a treasure yet to be revealed, even a speck of dust that doesn't belong here cannot escape his perception.

He himself has lived for countless years and preached here for countless eons, how come he never knew that there was a treasure hidden in his own home?

And it's still "unborn"?

Is this kid out of his mind because of what happened at Fire Cloud Cave? Is he starting to talk nonsense?

As the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun swept through the entire Zixiao Palace, inside and out, from the macroscopic to the microscopic, from the past to the future of the river of time, with a single thought.

No.

There was nothing there.

Apart from the Great Dao rules that constitute the palace, and Chen Changsheng, this living "variable," there is nothing else.

Chen Changsheng was getting a little anxious as the Dao Ancestor remained silent for a long time.

He gritted his teeth, raised his head, and stared directly at the blurry figure, his expression becoming even more sincere.

"If the Dao Ancestor does not believe me, this disciple can find them to prove that what you say is true!"

He patted his chest and assured them.

"This disciple swears to the Heavenly Dao that if that treasure is not destined for me, I will never lay a finger on it! But if it is truly destined for me, I beg the Dao Ancestor to grant my wish!"

That was said flawlessly.

This demonstrated their determination while simultaneously passing the buck back to the team.

You don't believe me? Fine, let me find it.

If I've found it, then it's my destiny. You, the dignified Dao Ancestor, can't break your promise and steal the opportunity from a junior, can you?

If I can't find it, then I was just bragging, and you can do whatever you want with me.

Silence fell once again inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

Looking at the confident young man below, Hongjun's unchanging state of mind was stirred by a slight ripple.

interesting.

That's really interesting.

Since he attained enlightenment, how many years has it been since he encountered something so interesting?

Before him, which of the six sages wasn't trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice?

Even the most unruly Tongtian wouldn't dare to be so "presumptuous" in front of him.

But this kid in front of him, whose cultivation level was only half a step into the Hunyuan realm, actually dared to say to his face that his dojo contained treasures that even he didn't know about.

Where does this courage and confidence come from?

Is it because of his "variable" status?

Hongjun's gaze lingered on Chen Changsheng for a long time.

He wanted to see what kind of "surprise" this biggest variable would bring him.

"OK."

Hongjun spoke, his voice carrying a faint hint of amusement.

"Go and go find it."

"If you can truly find a treasure within this Purple Cloud Palace that even I have not discovered..."

Hongjun paused for a moment, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"That is your destiny, and I will not interfere."

"This item is yours."

Become!

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng was overjoyed!

That's exactly what he wanted to hear from the Dao Ancestor!

The Taoist patriarch has decreed that he is determined to unearth this treasure today!

"Thank you for your kindness, Dao Ancestor!"

Chen Changsheng excitedly bowed deeply again, then eagerly straightened up.

"Then, disciple, shall we begin?"

He asked tentatively, fearing that the Dao Ancestor might change his mind.

"Go," Hongjun's voice returned to its calm tone.

He wanted to see what tricks this kid could pull.

"Okay!"

Chen Changsheng responded, his joy no longer concealed.

He turned around, ignoring the Dao Ancestor sitting high above, and began to scan the hall with his eyes, pretending to sense something.

In reality, his mind was completely absorbed in the system map in his mind.

A dazzling golden spot of light shone brightly right in the center of the hall!

That's it!

With a sense of reassurance, Chen Changsheng took a step forward, walking slowly towards the very center of the Zixiao Palace.

With each step he took, he felt as if he were treading on boundless Daoist principles, with the starry sky beneath his feet swirling around him, its mysteries reaching the extreme.

But this did not diminish his determination to find the treasure.

He soon arrived at the location marked by the system.

He stopped, looked down at the ground beneath his feet, which was made of Dao runes, and then looked up at the empty surroundings.

He took a deep breath, turned around, and faced Hongjun Daozu once again.

He stretched out his finger and pointed confidently to the ground beneath his feet.

"The Dao Ancestor".

His voice echoed in the empty hall, filled with unquestionable confidence.

"This disciple has sensed it."

"The treasure that's destined for me is right here!"

"The treasure that's destined for me is right here!"

Chen Changsheng's voice was resolute and echoed in the silent Zixiao Palace.

The blurry figure of Hongjun Daozu, who sat high above, paused slightly.

under?

His all-knowing and all-seeing holy thoughts surged forth once again like a tide, instantly piercing through the ground beneath Chen Changsheng's feet, which was composed of the rules of the Great Dao.

The divine thought penetrated deep into the void and explored the chaos, thoroughly scanning this region from its origin to its end, from every point in time to every spatial dimension.

Empty.

Apart from the purest and most fundamental laws of the Great Dao that form the foundation of Zixiao Palace, there is nothing else.

Forget about treasures, there wasn't even a single hair.
