The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 212 The Billion-Year-Old Ghost

The battle ended in an instant, but it stirred up the winds and clouds over millions of miles around. Mountains and rivers were broken and their flow was interrupted, the landscape was drastically changed, and even the laws of nature were slightly altered.

In particular, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been scattered and reorganized, resulting in new changes. It has become more difficult for later generations to refine it into magical power or true qi.

This is just a few rogue cultivators fighting. If it were a legion of liches and demons fighting, it would very likely turn an area into a land of Dharma decline.

However, the Primordial World is still in its growth phase, and the spiritual energy is replenished quite quickly. The flow of spiritual energy in the world is also not slow. Perhaps in a few days, the spiritual energy in this area will be completely refreshed.

Some powerful beings, through their battles, directly altered the Great Dao, preventing the renewal and preservation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thus truly ushering in the end times.

However, the subsequent situation here was irrelevant to Luo Zu and the others, because Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao had already suggested to Luo Zu that they leave this place first, as they could not stay for long, otherwise they would attract other rogue cultivators, as well as the Wu and Yao clans, and even some ancient ghosts that could appear in broad daylight.

Even ancient ghosts that are hundreds of millions of years old—even Golden Immortals would have to avoid such spirits. After all, the dark and resentful thoughts within them are too deep, enough to distort the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If a Golden Immortal were to provoke them, their cultivation would be damaged as a result. Therefore, it is best to avoid contact with them.

But such old ghosts only appear in legends, and even "old monsters" like Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, who have lived for millions of years, have not encountered them.

However, this did not stop them from bringing it up with Luo Zu.

They even talked about some strange past events that could be related to this ancient ghost.

While they were talking, they had already used their escape light to travel hundreds of millions of miles away, avoiding this area.

As they expected, no sooner had they left than a group of rogue cultivators surged in from all directions. However, sensing that there was little benefit to be gained during their stay, they all withdrew.

As soon as they left, the Wu Clan arrived, eager to see who was so bold as to cause trouble in the current situation and create problems for the Wu Clan.

Unfortunately, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were both experienced and cleaned up too thoroughly, so the people from the Wu Clan couldn't find a single clue.

Therefore, Luo Zu also learned their methods. Such skills in cleaning up the mess are absolutely impossible to master without being "battle-hardened".

The three eventually landed on a hilltop inhabited by many winged tigers. However, these were not descendants of the Western White Tiger, but rather offspring of an animal called a leopard that had mated with a vicious tiger.

As they multiplied, they gradually became a new race.

Furthermore, the Western White Tiger clan never joined the demon race; they formed their own faction. After all, they had the Western Sacred Beast as their backer, and even the Heavenly Emperor had to give them face.

Once they reached the hilltop, the three began a new round of discussion.

This time, Luo Zu finally had the good fortune to see the true face of the Falling Treasure Coin.

It was a palm-sized coin with a round top and square bottom, decorated with all sorts of strange and wonderful patterns. On the two sides of the coin, there was also a pair of small and exquisite wings.

This is not much different from the treasure-dropping coins that Luo Zu remembered.

After meeting Luo Bao Jinqian, Luo Zu discussed his weapon-refining philosophy with Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, and even taught them many magical restrictions.

They were delighted to see this ingenious design, and its benefits were obvious, making it easy for them to accept.

The classification of magical artifacts and the orderly advancement plan for their inheritance are particularly important. This is equivalent to nurturing a magical artifact as a cultivator on the spot, unlike the previous magical artifacts, which depended entirely on their spirituality and were not only time-consuming and laborious to cultivate, but also potentially yielded no results in the end.
