Primordial Era: I am a treasure trove, full of magical treasures.

The Three Pure Ones established the primordial order and thus gained a great deal of merit. However, due to the urgency of time, and the fact that other Heavenly Saints could become saints at any time, the Three Pure Ones' path of simultaneous cultivation of the three methods to attain enlightenment is very time-sensitive.

The Three Pure Ones have now entered seclusion to meditate and comprehend the laws of nature, while Xuanbao has also embarked on a journey through the primordial world. His reasons are twofold: first, to find a complete set of spiritual treasures that will allow the Three Pure Ones to sever their primordial spirits again. As for the damage to the primordial spirit caused by severing the primordial spirits, Xuanbao claims that with the holy water at hand, it's child's play. Second, to gather the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth, so that his masters can establish them, thus making the primordial world even more secure and gaining considerable merit in the process.

Before setting off, the Three Pure Ones entrusted Xuanbao with their Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian for protection. Along the way, Xuanbao also requested 24 Sea-Stabilizing Pearls from Tongtian, who generously provided them, stating that once Xuanbao found the Qiankun Ruler, he could open up the 24 Heavens, and then he wouldn't have to worry about running out of mana. Carrying these numerous trump cards, Xuanbao confidently stepped onto the primordial land.

Xuanbao decided to head south to the Undying Volcano in the southern part of the Primordial Wilderness to find the Vermilion Bird of the Phoenix Clan. So Xuanbao headed south, and sure enough, the southern part of the Primordial Wilderness was indeed the territory of the Phoenix Clan. Volcanoes rose one after another, lava churned, and heat wafted towards him.

Along the way, Xuanbao summoned all the underlings from the Human Emperor Banner, who then scattered in all directions to capture the wandering souls of the prehistoric world. They continued to capture them as they went.

Xuanbao would explore any treasure he sensed. In just over 200 years, he had explored more than half of the southern part of the prehistoric world, and his achievements were remarkable. He had more than 20 innate spiritual treasures, the best of which was a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure called the "Crimson Flame Blade." He also obtained 13 innate spiritual roots, most of which were fire-attribute. The best of these was a mid-grade innate spiritual root called the "Flame Heart Fruit," which grew in the earth's fire. Eating it could greatly enhance the damage of fire-attribute spells and could even be used to comprehend the laws of fire, making it incredibly versatile.

As for the Human Emperor Banner, it has captured quite a few wandering souls in the southern part of the prehistoric world for more than 200 years. However, since the south is not suitable for souls to live in, the number is much less than that in the eastern part of the prehistoric world. In 200 years, it has only captured more than 8000 million souls. However, although the number is much less, the quality of the souls that can live on the southern continent is quite good.

Among them, there are more than 13000 at the Golden Immortal realm or above, including 620 Taiyi Golden Immortals and 12 Daluo Golden Immortals. Including his former underlings, Xuanbao now has 17 Daluo Golden Immortals, 1452 Taiyi Golden Immortals, and more than 26000 Golden Immortals. Although the Human Emperor Banner has not yet been upgraded to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, Xuanbao can see that it is already at the peak of a high-grade innate spiritual treasure and will soon break through to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

As they drew closer to the Southern Undying Volcano, the Golden Immortal's soul was becoming increasingly strained. Left with no other option, Xuanbao had to gather all his underlings away. A dramatic incident occurred along the way: one of Xuanbao's Grand Luo Immortals captured the soul of an ancestor from a avian race, enraging the race. They dispatched all their high-level combatants—two Taiyi Golden Immortals and ten Golden Immortals—to hunt down the Grand Luo Immortal. Had Xuanbao not ordered his men not to indiscriminately kill innocents, these few weaklings would likely have been slapped to death. They chased Xuanbao all the way to him, but upon seeing the force behind him, they froze in shock. They couldn't even sense that there were hundreds of Taiyi Golden Immortals and tens of thousands of Golden Immortals. What was this all about? "An attack on the Phoenix Clan."

The group of people were quite sensible and immediately knelt down. Xuanbao wasn't an unreasonable person. He had taken a low-grade innate spiritual treasure and several acquired spiritual treasures, yet he still let these idiots go. They couldn't even see through other people's cultivation levels, yet they dared to chase after them. If they weren't idiots, who would be?

"Hmm." Xuanbao flew alone to the Undying Volcano. On the way, he passed through a valley where the five elements and yin and yang energies intertwined, forming a Yin-Yang Five Elements Array.

Xuanbao arrived at the great formation and, after sensing it, determined that it was not an innate great formation. It must have been set up by some powerful being, and perhaps even someone else's Daoist temple. In all his years of treasure hunting, Xuanbao had encountered many other people's Daoist temples, and he usually avoided them to avoid getting entangled in karma.

However, Xuanbao was very familiar with this place. The name of this place had already appeared in his mind when Xuanbao sensed it: "Falling Phoenix Slope". That's right, it was the place where Yuan Feng, the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, fell during the war between the three clans. However, there was also a legend that Yuan Feng laid two eggs on Falling Phoenix Slope. One of them was Kong Xuan, who became the number one person below the sage in later generations, and the other was the Golden-Winged Roc, the uncle of the Buddha.

Xuanbao's heart stirred. Since this was Luofeng Slope, he definitely wanted to see what Kong Xuan, the number one person below the sages of later generations, looked like. He took out the Broken Yuan Shovel, which he hadn't used for a long time, and started digging at the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation. The Broken Yuan Shovel, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, didn't require much effort and had already dug through the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation. Xuanbao slipped inside in a flash. The formation was filled with the five elements and the two energies of Yin and Yang. Before Xuanbao could even catch his breath...

"Who dares to trespass here!" Two little ones pointed at Xuanbao and shouted angrily. These two little ones were Kong Xuan and Dapeng, who had just transformed into human form. At this moment, the two were in a panic. They had just been born and were blocked in their home by a person who looked very powerful. Their brother was probably doomed. However, even so, Kong Xuan, who was in charge, still protected his younger brother behind him.

Seeing the little boy before him, Xuan Bao couldn't help but chuckle. The number one person below the sages of later generations was now just a child, his cultivation level barely at the Xuanxian realm. However, seeing Kong Xuan protecting Dapeng behind him, he smiled slightly and said gently, "Don't panic, I mean no harm. I heard this place is Luofeng Slope, I just came in out of curiosity." Although Kong Xuan was afraid, he still tried to remain calm and said, "Regardless of whether you mean any harm, trespassing on the residence of my brother and me is unacceptable!" As he spoke, he assumed a fighting stance.

Xuanbao found Kong Xuan very interesting and developed a fondness for his talent. "I see that you have excellent potential. If you are willing, I can take you as my disciples and teach you immortal techniques."

Kong Xuan: ?

Dapeng: ? ?

The two had initially thought that Xuanbao meant they were exceptionally talented and wanted to take them as disciples. But now, this shameless man wanted to take them as his servants. "We are the sons of Yuanfeng, the crown princes of the Phoenix Clan! You want us to be your servants? Don't think that 'the Phoenix Clan will never be slaves'!"

However, after the re-education of the Xuanbao series, he finally succeeded in taking in Kong Xuan and Dapeng, the two boys. As for the beatings they suffered, it was nothing more than "a little hardship".

As for why Xuanbao didn't accept Kong Xuan and Dapeng as disciples, it's because he wouldn't know how to teach them. Besides, given his status, he wouldn't mistreat the two brothers who were his servants.
