Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed.

Chapter 107 Obtaining the Innate Golden Spirit Pearl, Encountering Maitreya

"You unfilial son, you almost caused a disaster! Luckily, two senior figures arrived, otherwise your sins would have been far greater!"

After Yuan Hong and the other man left, Li Jing looked at Nezha with a look of disappointment and frustration.

He felt that if things continued like this, Nezha might cause even bigger trouble.

"snort."

Nezha turned his head away, gave a soft snort, and did not reply.

He was thinking that he would write a letter to his master later and send it via flying sword to see if his master supported him.

With his master as his backer, Nezha wouldn't care about anything else...

……

"Jingwei, this is a Primordial Water Spirit Pearl, containing immense power of the water's origin, which you can draw upon."

"It's perfect timing since you haven't yet condensed the primordial energy of water. Go and cultivate with it."

Yuan Hong handed the Innate Water Spirit Pearl to Jingwei and sent it back into the Myriad Spirits Chart.

With this item, Jingwei's advancement in cultivation is a certainty, and the speed will be even faster.

At that time, she will be able to refine higher-grade pills more quickly.

Yuan Hong pondered his next goal. While Jingwei was in seclusion, he certainly couldn't be idle.

"Now that it has been confirmed that the Innate Five Elements Spirit Pearl is a fragment of the Chaos Pearl, let's continue our search."

He activated the Chaos Bead 'Destiny' restriction in his mind, silently thinking:

"Let me know the locations of the other Five Innate Elemental Spirit Pearls..."

Now, with the improvement of his cultivation, the restrictive power of the Chaos Pearl has become even more perfect.

This fate restriction allows him to roughly sense the amount of essence blood that needs to be extracted beforehand, so there's basically no chance of being completely drained again.

"It seems that finding just one will be no problem at all."

Yuan Hong nodded and fully activated the restriction.

The next moment, a large amount of essence blood flowed into the source power, which was extracted by the Chaos Pearl and transformed into the power of destiny, evolving into the information he needed.

Yuan Hong's face turned pale. He had already activated the Creation Manipulation Technique and the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, and it took him a while to gradually recover.

However, these are not a problem at all; they can be recovered within a period of time, so it's not really an issue.

"That place seems to contain the Golden Spirit Orb..."

Yuan Hong's eyes lit up. After resting for a while, he flew straight toward his destination.

He used his Shrinking Mountains and Wind Control abilities to move incredibly fast, sweeping across vast stretches of land and rivers.

Soon, he left the eastern territory and arrived in the western territory.

"It is truly barren, far inferior to the East."

Yuan Hong looked around and secretly shook his head.

Compared to the magnificent mountains and rivers, abundant resources, and abundant spiritual energy of the East, the West appears noticeably shabby.

Even the most common natural treasures rarely grow here; the barren mountains and valleys connect to each other, adding to the desolate atmosphere.

Even the concentration of spiritual energy in the void is clearly inferior to that in the East.

Only the occasional veins of metal, such as those belonging to the Geng metal element, could be considered somewhat intriguing, since the western regions were rich in metal-related substances.

Yuan Hong knew that the reason why the Western region was so barren and far inferior to the East was entirely due to the fact that when the Demon Ancestor Rahu was defeated and died in the ancient battle between the Dao and the Demon, he recklessly exposed himself and detonated the ancestral vein of the Western region!

Good heavens, once the ancestral veins of the Western world are detonated, most of the Western continent will be affected, countless spiritual veins will be scattered, and the impact will be so great that it will take hundreds of millions of years to eliminate.

This is precisely why the two Western saints are so petty, greedy, and lack any saintly demeanor.

Of course, their ability to obtain the Heavenly Dao Saintly position was entirely due to the Heavenly Dao Hongjun's compensation to the Western Regions, who wanted them to manage the Western Regions well.

Moreover, the subsequent rise of the West was also due to this point.

As Yuan Hong pondered, he arrived at his destination, a mountain range rich in the energy of Geng metal.

"It's actually a gold mine; it must have been created by the innate Golden Spirit Pearl."

He had no interest in these ordinary gold mines and directly released the Daoist energy fluctuations of the Innate Water Spirit Pearl.

Soon, he felt a resonance.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a bead radiating dazzling golden light suddenly rose from the mountain range, soaring into the sky, its radiance enough to illuminate countless mountains and rivers.

"Buzz..."

The powerful energy of the metal element emanated like a tide, spreading out in waves, signifying the birth of this innate golden spirit pearl.

Rumble!

As the Golden Spirit Pearl was born, the mountain range below seemed to lose some kind of support and collapsed in a crash, breaking into pieces!

Yuan Hong flew over and took it in his hand; the Golden Spirit Pearl showed no resistance whatsoever.

[Ding dong, investing in your innate Golden Spirit Orb has triggered a tenfold return. Congratulations, host, your innate Golden Spirit Orb has been strengthened tenfold!]

He nodded in satisfaction and quickly refined it.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from afar, carrying the powerful aura of a Great Luo Immortal!

"Stop! That's a treasure from my western territory!"

Swish!

The next moment, a Great Luo Golden Immortal appeared not far away, greedily staring at the Innate Golden Spirit Pearl in Yuan Hong's hand.

"I am Maitreya, a second-generation direct disciple of the Western Sect. May I ask who you are and why you wish to take my Western Sect's treasures?"

Maitreya's words, though seemingly polite, were actually aggressive, indicating that he already regarded the Golden Spirit Pearl as his own treasure.

The Western lands are already barren, so it's rare for a primordial spiritual treasure to appear here. Even the two Western Saints would treasure it immensely, let alone the other disciples of the Western Sect!

When they saw the spiritual treasures and spiritual roots, it was like a hungry wolf seeing a piece of fat meat.

Not to mention, this vast western territory has long been regarded as their own private land, how could they tolerate other cultivators coming to plunder it?

It's already a miracle that these Western religions don't go to the East to plunder!

Of course, Western followers generally dare not go to Eastern territories, mainly because they are afraid of being beaten.

After all, the three Eastern sects—the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Jie Sect—have not yet broken ties and can be considered to be of one mind and one branch, with immense power, far beyond what the Western Sect can rival.

If Western sect monks were to appear in the East, they would likely be hunted down and killed by disciples of sects like Chan and Jie once discovered!

However, now that he is in the West, Maitreya is naturally very confident and aggressive.

Furthermore, as a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, he is a powerful being in his own right. Without a Quasi-Saint, no one else can easily do anything to him!

"The treasures of the Western lands are your Western religion's? What a joke."

Yuan Hong couldn't help but laugh when he heard Maitreya's nonsensical ramblings.

Countless cultivators have obtained opportunities in the East, and they have never heard of the principle that they must hand them over to the Three Mysteries Sect.

Such an overbearing style has only tarnished the reputation of a sage.

Of course, the Eastern Xuanmen sect is also very domineering, arrogant, and looks down on independent cultivators.

However, at least they didn't say such shameless things; they still had some sense of decency.

"It seems you think you're in control of the situation just because you're in the West. How laughable..."
