"You are destined to be connected with the West."

One sentence left Xuanbao frozen in place; this, along with "Fellow Daoist, please wait," was arguably the two most deadly sentences in the primordial world.

Xuanbao braced himself and turned around. Sure enough, it was Zhunti, the Western Saint of Loans in later generations. "So it's Uncle Zhunti," the junior Xuanbao said, never expecting to meet Uncle Zhunti in this barren West.

Zhunti: ...If you can't speak, then don't speak.

Zhunti saw that the person in front of him was actually one of the Three Pure Ones disciples who had made a name for himself in Zixiao Palace. However, what caught his attention the most was that Xuanbao had quite a few spiritual treasures on him. At this moment, Zhunti had an impulse to rob him, but he suppressed this thought for the time being because of the Three Pure Ones.

Zhunti came here mainly because he felt there was an opportunity here, but as soon as he arrived, he saw Xuanbao, and his premonition disappeared. "My opportunity must have been taken over by that little thief Xuanbao."

"So it's my nephew Xuanbao. It's been over ten thousand years since we parted at Zixiao Palace. I never expected that my nephew's cultivation level has already reached the peak of the Great Luo realm. Truly, the younger generation is formidable." Although Zhunti was thinking about his own opportunities, he looked at Xuanbao with great affection. Talented people are not only valued by the Three Pure Ones, but even more so in the West. If Xuanbao were to join the West, Zhunti would be willing to break his ribs to make soup for him.

Upon hearing this, Xuanbao immediately understood Zhunti's intentions and quickly replied with a forced smile, "Uncle-Master, you flatter me. I was just lucky." In his heart, however, he was already plotting how to escape. Zhunti continued with a smile, "Nephew, you see, although the West is barren, it is also a place with great potential."

"If you could come to my West, I would do everything in my power to help you attain enlightenment." Xuanbao felt a headache coming on and hurriedly said, "I appreciate your kindness, Uncle-Master, but I have a deep bond with the Three Pure Ones, and it is really hard for me to part with you." However, in his heart, he thought that even if you all become saints in the future, it will be through loans. How can you help me attain enlightenment? You are just talking nonsense and trying to fool as many people as you can.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Zhunti's eyes, but he quickly regained his kind expression. "Nephew, there's no need to rush into a decision. You can think about it slowly." "However, I sensed an opportunity for me in this area before. I wonder if you saw it, Nephew." As Zhunti spoke, he also revealed the pressure of a mid-stage Quasi-Saint, making it clear that he knew Zhunti had taken his things and that Zhunti shouldn't try to get away with it.

However, the seemingly terrifying pressure of a quasi-saint was nothing to Xuanbao. He had already reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in all three methods, and he had comprehended 99% of the sword path. He only needed to comprehend 100% and begin to control the laws to successfully step into the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, which corresponds to the quasi-saint in the Three Corpses Severing stage. He had even comprehended 85% of the spear path. After all, it was Xuanbao's most comfortable weapon. Although he hadn't deliberately tried to comprehend it, with the training speed of nearly 1000 innate saints, his progress was unimaginable. Xuanbao had now comprehended more than 600 different kinds of laws. He had comprehended 50% to 60% of the stronger ones and 10% to 20% of the weaker ones. Now, Xuanbao had the power to fight against a quasi-saint without a supreme treasure.

However, the one before him was the Western Buddha Mother Zhunti from later generations, who was now a mid-stage Quasi-Saint who had severed her two corpses. He was definitely no match for her. However, Xuanbao was not too afraid. After all, he had his trump cards. Not to mention that his three masters had given him their most precious treasures for self-defense, Xuanbao also had six attack jade talismans made by the Three Pure Ones. As long as he activated them, he would have the full power of the Three Pure Ones. Even if Zhunti were to take a hit now, she would not be in a good position. Moreover, Zhunti could not catch him in a short time unless he encountered those freaks who played with space. Obviously, Zhunti was not among them.

Xuanbao composed himself and forced a smile, saying, "Uncle-Master, I haven't witnessed your opportunity. Besides, even if there were, it's only because your junior brother got it that it proves you and Uncle-Master are not destined for it!" As he spoke, Xuanbao displayed the Golden Wheel of Merit behind him. There were five full Golden Wheels of Merit, making Xuanbao look like a true god in the world, incredibly majestic. Xuanbao's meaning was clear: "Hit me! Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"

Xuanbao's five golden wheels of merit have been filled by the many souls he has captured, and he is about to begin condensing the sixth golden wheel of merit. However, each subsequent golden wheel of merit is the sum of the previous ones, so it will become slower and slower.

Zhunti glanced at Xuanbao's five golden wheels of merit, a glint of greed in his eyes. This was merit! He hadn't expected this young Xuanbao to accumulate so much merit. Now Zhunti was completely at a loss. He couldn't touch Xuanbao, he couldn't move him. If he captured Xuanbao now, the Three Pure Ones would probably come to settle scores with him. Moving Xuanbao was even more unthinkable. Not only would the Three Pure Ones fight him to the death, but the Heavenly Dao wouldn't let him off the hook either. Killing someone with so much merit wasn't so simple, unless you had a treasure that granted merit without incurring karmic consequences, which Zhunti unfortunately didn't have.

However, in my own perception, this opportunity is very important to me, as it concerns my path to enlightenment. It is impossible for me to simply leave.

"Junior nephew, do not deceive me. This opportunity is clearly already involved with you." Now there is no other way. Xuanbao cannot be touched or moved. I can only threaten him, hoping that Xuanbao will hand over the opportunity.

But to his utter surprise, Xuanbao was not afraid of him at all. In fact, he felt a bit itchy to fight. He was only one step away from becoming a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, so he might as well take this opportunity to fight Zhunti and hone his understanding of the laws. Maybe he could break through to become a Hunyuan Golden Immortal. After all, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. No matter how much he comprehends, it can't compare to the speed of practice in reality.

Xuanbao's fighting spirit surged. He formed hand seals, his body radiating light of laws, and a spear instantly appeared in his hand, its tip pointing directly at Zhunti. "Uncle-Master, let's see who's the best. If you can defeat me, this opportunity is yours."

Seeing this, Zhunti was somewhat dumbfounded. This kid Xuanbao was so brave! He was only a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet he dared to challenge him, a mid-stage Quasi-Saint. Zhunti, who hadn't originally planned to fight, said no more. His body radiated Buddhist light, and with a wave of his Seven Treasures Tree, a dazzling beam of light shot towards Xuanbao. Xuanbao dodged the attack, unfurled his Wings of Holy Light, and flew tens of thousands of kilometers backward.

Zhunti, whose attack had missed, saw the Holy Light Wings, a superior innate spiritual treasure, behind Xuanbao and almost drooled. "This treasure is destined for the West," he thought. Instantly, he displayed his Quasi-Saint strength and arrived beside Xuanbao. However, before Zhunti could make a move, Xuanbao disappeared from the spot again and casually threw out the Eternal Spear. A golden light pierced towards Zhunti's brow.

Zhunti snorted lightly, and with a horizontal movement of his Seven Treasures Tree, he blocked the Eternal Spear. His eyes turned cold. "Nephew, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." With that, his body surged with Buddhist light, and with his other hand, he took out a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the empowered Pestle, and swung it at Xuanbao. Xuanbao, of course, wasn't idle either, and immediately threw out his Lightning Spear. The Lightning Spear and the empowered Pestle collided in mid-air, bursting forth with dazzling light. Taking advantage of this opening, Xuanbao once again created distance, repeatedly pulling and tugging at Zhunti.

"Two more top-grade innate spiritual treasures!" After only a few rounds of fighting, Zhunti saw Xuanbao take out two more top-grade innate spiritual treasures that he had never seen before. If he remembered correctly, Hongjun had also given Xuanbao a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Western Plain Cloud Banner. So now Xuanbao had at least three top-grade innate spiritual treasures. "This treasure is destined for the West." Zhunti's eyes were now bloodshot, extremely envious.

Now Zhunti can no longer suppress his urge to rob the Xuanbao. Even though he has the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Dao behind him, they seem insignificant in the face of the temptation of at least three top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

The bold get rich, the timid starve. At this moment, Zhunti is like a hungry wolf, about to devour Xuanbao, this plump little lamb. But who is that wolf? That's hard to say.
