The first disciple of the Three Pure Ones, Little Sizi's immortal brother

"Huh? Little Pouch-kun has disappeared?"

"Your Highness, what's wrong...?" The two palace maids following behind saw Xiao Sizi stop and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Eh? Where's the thing His Majesty gave you?"

Although it didn't seem to be anything particularly precious, it was still a gift from the emperor. If it was lost in front of them, the emperor would be in trouble. The little princess, with the emperor's favor, would certainly be fine, but they were just lowly palace maids, and they might die without a burial place.

"No,..." Little Sizi was about to say that the bamboo had turned into the fairy Xiao Nangjun and left, but then she remembered what Shi Ming had told her before he left, and quickly changed her words, "The persimmon hid the things~"

The two palace maids exchanged a glance. Seeing what the little princess had to say, they dared not ask any further questions. They could only plead guilty to the Empress later, hoping that with Empress Zhangsun's kindness, she might spare their lives.

……

"So you're back after all..."

Within the Primordial Innate Grand Array, Shi Ming reappeared at the place where he had disappeared. The difference was that this time he appeared in his Innate Dao Body form. This form was most suitable for cultivation, and since he was originally a human being, he had no intention of reverting to his original form.

The bitter bamboo swayed its body beside him, initially looking very wary, but after sensing Shi Ming's aura, it turned to joy.

"Yes, I'm back." Shi Ming gently stroked the leaves of the bitter bamboo. He still had feelings for this old friend who had been with him for thousands of years. If he could, he would do his best to help the other person take human form.

After all, he had initially relied on the other party's territory to develop stealthily and enjoy their protection and favors. This already incurred a huge karmic debt. He was not like those two ungrateful people from the West, so he naturally knew how to repay the kindness.

Just then, the primordial world seemed to sense his transformation, and auspicious omens descended from the sky. Strands of profound and mysterious Daoist energy descended in their direction, then directly ignored the obstruction of the innate grand formation and merged into Shi Ming's body.

In the primordial world, the higher the spiritual root's origin, the more difficult it is to take human form. However, if one does manage to take human form, the benefits are considerable. Moreover, information about the primordial world began to appear in Shi Ming's mind, which is why the innate saints were born with this knowledge.

Feeling his cultivation level begin to rise and finally settle at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, Shi Ming was pleasantly surprised. Obtaining the Taiyi Dao Fruit was considered a threshold in the prehistoric world, but he didn't expect that the reward from heaven and earth alone would directly help him cross this threshold, saving him countless years.

"Did I take a shortcut?"

Before Shi Ming's joy could fade, two streams of light flew out from his body, and after being cleansed by the Daoist rhyme, they gradually revealed their true form.

Twenty-four seasons of leaves!

Longevity Flute!

Two top-grade innate spiritual treasures!

"I never thought I'd have a companion spirit treasure..." Shi Ming murmured, "It feels like it was born from me..."

As a primordial spiritual treasure born from him, he didn't need to refine the innate restrictions within it like other spiritual treasures to unleash its full power; he could use it directly. This was what surprised Shi Ming the most. After all, which powerful being in the primordial world didn't need tens of thousands of years to refine a restriction?

Seemingly sensing Shi Ming's joy, Ku Zhu also wrapped her arm around Shi Ming's little finger and gently swayed it.

Shi Ming's gaze then fell on Ku Zhu: "Do you want to leave with me? But you're not..."

Unlike spiritual treasures, spiritual roots need to take root. Unless they are refined into spiritual treasures, they cannot be moved at will.

The bitter bamboo swayed gently, then wrapped around Shi Ming's little finger, gradually transforming into a bracelet that stopped at Shi Ming's wrist.

Feeling the faint connection between himself and the bitter bamboo, Shi Ming suddenly realized.

"Mutual benefit and symbiosis? I didn't know it could be like this..."

As bamboo plants, the two have almost no barriers between them, and the endless years they have grown together have allowed them to form such a unique relationship.

Shi Ming provides nutrients for the growth of the bitter bamboo, while the bitter bamboo purifies Shi Ming's spiritual power, aiding his cultivation. At the same time, it also purifies Shi Ming's mind, preventing him from going astray in his cultivation.

When encountering enemies, bitter bamboo can also be an aid. It should be noted that the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Six Roots Purification Bamboo, is made from bitter bamboo. As the bitter bamboo is connected to Shi Ming's mind, it can unleash its maximum power even without Shi Ming refining the restrictions.

Having resolved the issue of the bitter bamboo, Shi Ming's gaze turned to the land on the ground. How could a place capable of supporting the growth of two top-grade innate spiritual roots be ordinary?

Since the soil itself is nothing special, there must be something else beneath it, something they must have noticed when they took root.

With a flick of his wrist, Shi Ming took out a bead.

"Earth Spirit Orb?"

As one of the four spiritual pearls evolved from the earth, wind, water, and fire that were fixed by the Pangu Banner after Pangu created the world, the Earth Spiritual Pearl is naturally extraordinary and ranks among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures. If all four spiritual pearls of earth, wind, water, and fire are collected, they can unleash the power of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

It's important to understand that the number of top-grade innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world is limited, and their power is naturally immense. However, as a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Spirit Pearl can easily defeat ninety percent of other spiritual treasures.

After accepting this unexpected surprise, Shi Ming planned to leave.

Four thousand years ago, Hongjun had only preached the Dao once. Now, apart from those old monsters left over from the Dragon-Han Calamity, the highest level of the rest is only a Great Luo Golden Immortal. With all the treasures around him and the innate mastery of the two laws of time and creation, even if he can't beat them, he can still run away.

Moreover, Hongjun might still be preaching right now. The top group of people in the prehistoric world are not in the prehistoric world right now. Why not take this opportunity to find opportunities in the prehistoric world? When else would you wait?

"It's time to be born..." Shi Ming murmured, glancing at the bitter bamboo on his wrist.

Ku Zhu sensed Shi Ming's emotions and shook his head as well.

The next moment, as if sensing something, the innate grand formation began to slowly dissolve on its own. As the formation dissolved, a beam of light shot into the sky.

Shi Ming was stunned. He was going back now...

is there time?

The surroundings were not the idyllic scene of birdsong and fragrant flowers that Shi Ming had imagined, but rather a mess, indicating that a fight had just taken place there.

As for who it is...

The result is quite clear.

In the sky, an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man stood high above. Opposite them, two men radiating intense heat were equally imposing.

On the east side of the ground were two siblings with human bodies and snake tails, and on the west side were two bald monks...

I took it myself...

It shouldn't be the script of the innate gourd vine, right?
