The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 431 Forgiving the Heavenly Emperor Once Again: A Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure

Luo Zu stood there for a moment, watching the three-legged cicada turn into mud.

"What kind of plea is this? What favor are you asking for?" Luo Zu called out, but did not stop Him.

Then the mud that the three-legged toad had transformed into actually reformed itself; this guy even had a comeback.

It was only because this fellow took the initiative to remind him that Luo Zu gave him such a kind look; otherwise, he would have been kicked out.

"I made a small mistake. I once fought with a demonic dragon from the North Sea and injured my soul. I haven't recovered yet, so I've forgotten a bit." The three-legged golden toad chuckled a few times, feeling embarrassed.

After He returned in a flash, that lump of mud underwent many material changes, transforming from gold to iron, then from iron to stone, and finally from stone to wood, changing endlessly until it became a body of flesh and blood.

Luo Zu could easily perform such material changes; he could do it even when he had just become a True Immortal.

Moreover, even before becoming a true immortal, one can achieve these things through the power of manipulating creation.

But His move depends on the changes at the very beginning, which can be considered as creating something from nothing.

Although He took a wisp of a feeling hidden in the soul of the toad Koko and descended to this place with it, He did not create this creation with the surrounding spiritual energy. Instead, He created it out of thin air. Moreover, Luo Zu did not find a large amount of energy descending from somewhere. So it is clear that He created it out of thin air.

His creation was merely this lump of mud, and subsequent material changes occurred on the basis of this lump of mud.

Seeing this, Luo Zu was quite surprised.

As for the three-legged golden toad's claim that its soul was damaged by the North Sea demon dragon, Luo Zu did not believe a word of it.

If that were truly the case, He shouldn't be here chatting with him; instead, He should be in seclusion, healing His injuries.

"Fellow Daoist Three-Legged, please explain what business it is with Lei Ze? Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request." Luo Zu then began to discuss the terms.

"Fellow Daoist, cultivating the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit is no easy feat. I urge you to reconsider," the three-legged golden toad said cryptically.

Seeing His solemnity, Luo Zu did not press the matter further, but his suspicions only grew.

Who is it that dislikes the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, and thus arranged for the three-legged golden toad to cause trouble?

"Since you have something difficult to say, I won't pry any further." Luo Zu then nodded.

Seeing this, the three-legged toad finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He feared that if Luo Zu continued to press him, although he could evade the question, he would inevitably be monitored by certain people with ulterior motives.

Moreover, it's not necessary for anyone with ulterior motives to do so. If one day the Heavenly Emperor has a sudden whim and uses his supreme divine power to reverse time and space and extract the information from this moment, He too will perish.

Although He had just used a first-rate secret divine power, how could it withstand the Heavenly Emperor's thorough investigation?

"I have a request, which I would be grateful for, fellow Daoist," the three-legged golden toad then said.

"What is it?" Luo Zu asked, waiting for him to explain.

After a moment of hesitation, the three-legged toad said, "I beg you, fellow Daoist, to spare the Heavenly Emperor this once in the future."

"???" Luo Zu couldn't control his emotions upon hearing this, and they showed on his face.

Are you sure you're not drunk?

What do you mean by saying you'll spare the Heavenly Emperor this time in the future?

It's already a miracle that the Heavenly Emperor spared him. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning by the Heavenly Emperor for saying such a thing?

"The Heavenly Emperor has shown me great kindness, so I have come to plead for His life," the three-legged golden toad then said.

"Is Fellow Daoist Three-Legged One joking with me?" Luo Zu squinted at him, a hint of something ominous already in his eyes.

The three-legged golden toad certainly understood that its words were easy to misinterpret, but it didn't explain anything, only pleading for mercy, which truly left Luo Zu speechless.

future……

Could the Heavenly Emperor possibly fall into his hands?

That can't be right. The Twelve Ancestral Witches are lined up there, and there are six Sages who want to give the Heavenly Emperor some pointers. There are also so many Great Luo Immortals eyeing the position of Heavenly Emperor. So this villain really doesn't belong to a mere Golden Immortal like Luo Zu.

Moreover, even if Luo Zu cultivates extremely quickly, he still won't be able to catch up with this matter. Luo Zu believes he simply doesn't have the ability to cultivate to the Great Luo Limitless before the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King.

"If Fellow Daoist Luo Zu agrees, I will certainly point out the location of the three top-grade innate spiritual treasures to you," the three-legged golden toad then said.

"A top-grade innate spiritual treasure? What does that mean?" This was the first time Luo Zu had ever heard such a term in the prehistoric world.

"This is the result of my many years of treasure hunting. It is just one person's opinion, so Fellow Daoist Luo Zu need not take it to heart." The three-legged golden toad puffed out its chest and said loudly, as if it were proud.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu was naturally curious and asked how the spiritual treasures were divided into levels.

"Based on what I have seen and heard over the past billions of years, spiritual treasures can be divided into innate and acquired types, and their levels can be divided into minor, medium, superior, and supreme grades. Among these, most acquired spiritual treasures of the same level are inferior to innate spiritual treasures, and only a small number of acquired spiritual treasures are stronger than innate spiritual treasures of the same level due to their own characteristics and the methods of refining them."

"The classification of spiritual treasures is based on the spiritual restrictions they possess. Those with six or fewer spiritual restrictions are considered minor, those with twelve or fewer are considered medium-grade, those with twenty-four or fewer are considered superior, and those with thirty-six or fewer are considered top-grade. Thirty-six spiritual restrictions is the limit for a spiritual treasure."

"All spiritual treasures cannot break through this limit. In the end, they can only break out of their shells before this limit, seize living beings, and start a second stage of cultivation in order to break through the limit of spiritual treasures and reach the Great Luo Limitless Realm."

"And above that spiritual treasure, there is an ultimate treasure."

At this point, His words ceased.

"I can't say another word. All the world's treasures are watching me closely. If I utter any more nonsense, I'm afraid they'll kill me." The three-legged golden toad looked like it was still in fear.

Luo Zu felt that this information was enough.

"Treasures are mostly born naturally, and there is absolutely no possibility of them losing their realm." The three-legged golden toad couldn't control its tongue and added at the end.

"Do you think what I've said will be of great use, fellow Daoist?" the three-legged toad then asked.

Luo Zu remained noncommittal. Although there were some differences, his understanding of spiritual treasures was similar to Luo Zu's, based on his own thoughts and the "little-known facts" he had learned from ancient novels in his previous life.

"I've heard that you also have a skill in weapon crafting. I wonder how it compares to the Crown Prince's?" the three-legged golden toad asked.

Luo Zu was too lazy to argue with Him about this matter, lest he lose the argument and incur the wrath of the Golden Crow Prince.

As for who the Golden Crow Crown Prince is...

This news has been circulating in the world.

It is said that the Heavenly Emperor's ten sons are all different, among whom the eldest prince is the closest. He has already received the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance of the Samadhi, and his Taoist magic is profound. He has reached the Taiyi ultimate level and is about to ascend to the Daluo realm. He is truly remarkable.

The second prince followed closely behind, displaying exceptional comprehension, and has now also attained the Taiyi realm.

In fact, only the eighth and tenth princes did not become Taiyi.

However, even the Taiyi realm cannot be divided into different realms, so there is a path to cultivation. Knowing which realm you have reached, and how to cultivate next to solve problems.

In addition to his advanced cultivation and high level of Taoist practice, the Golden Crow Crown Prince is also skilled in weapon crafting. The refined gold he uses to refine with the True Fire of the Sun is of the highest quality. Many Heavenly Court soldiers use this refined gold to forge protective armor, which allows them to better protect themselves in the battles against the Witch Clan.

"I dare not compare myself to the Crown Prince." Luo Zu's words were not humble. He was just a small fry, making some gadgets and mass-producing some magical artifacts, but he could not mass-produce magical treasures. How could he compare to the Golden Crow Crown Prince, who could even refine spiritual treasures?

However, it is said that the Golden Crow Crown Prince's creation of the spiritual treasure also involved a trick. In the end, he had to use the Zhou Tian Star Array to collect and refine the chaos outside the heavens, and then extract some kind of incredible spiritual energy from it, thereby endowing the magic weapon with spiritual restrictions and turning it into a spiritual treasure.

The three-legged golden toad chuckled, then, without lingering on the topic, asked directly, "Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to accept my favor?"

That was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, containing more than twenty-four spiritual restrictions, while the best spiritual treasure in Luo Zu's possession, the Purple Gold Lamp, only had twelve spiritual restrictions.

Therefore, if Luo Zu said he was not moved, it must be a lie.

Even if he is tempted, can he obtain this top-grade innate spiritual treasure?

Who knows if the three-legged toad wasn't just deceiving him, or even luring him into a trap?

The cautious Luo Zu ultimately refused the three-legged toad's request.

Although the offer was very attractive, he didn't want to accept it.

"Fellow Daoist Three-Legged One, go back to where you came from," Luo Zu said leisurely.

Upon hearing this, the three-legged toad could only shake its head helplessly, then turned around and croaked at the toad that was listening in a daze.

"Although you are facing hardship, you have also encountered such kind people. It is truly a case of fortune and misfortune being intertwined."

"It's a pity that your physical body has been obliterated, leaving only your soul. Otherwise, with Fellow Daoist Luo Zu's current fortune, it should be possible to help you cultivate into a Xuan Immortal." The three-legged golden toad scolded the toad Koko Koko again.

Toad Knock saw that he could be whipped even if he just stood there, and he was quite helpless.

It can only be said that his ancestor was really petty. He didn't get any benefits from Luo Zu, so he wanted to use this little guy to save face and teach Luo Zu a lesson.

"I have a manual on how to refine treasures. You should practice diligently so that you can easily collect and release treasures as soon as possible. Once you are proficient, you can ask Fellow Daoist Luo Zu to help you refine a new physical body." The three-legged golden toad quickly steered the conversation to the main topic.

The toad nodded repeatedly, agreeing with whatever its ancestor said.

Then the three-legged toad uttered a single sentence and made a hasty retreat: "Please, fellow Daoist, spare the Heavenly Emperor this time."

Seeing that He had not forgotten His original intention, Luo Zu smiled slightly.

As for the fact that Zhen Ge agreed to it, Luo Zu thought that the three-legged golden toad might be out of its mind.

After the three-legged golden toad left, Luo Zu summoned the toad Koko to his side and asked him about the deeds of this ancestor who lived in the Heavenly Court.

Since it was Luo Zu who asked, Toad Kouchou naturally answered all his questions without reservation, and there was nothing he couldn't tell Luo Zu.

Many of the stories about the three-legged toad are actually similar to mythological tales, all from a very long time ago.

"Master, do you really want to... spare Him?" Toad kowtowed, not daring to directly mention the title of that person.

Luo Zu was naturally surprised by this matter.

How could he possibly spare the Heavenly Emperor?

The toad knocked, but still couldn't understand.

Of course, he never imagined that the Heavenly Emperor would be so helpless, that he would be "let go" by Luo Zu.

Regardless, since his ancestor said so, it must be true... probably... likely.

He still found it hard to believe that such a thing could happen.

"Can He spare me?" Luo Zu asked rhetorically.

That's definitely not possible. Toad Knock thought to himself.

If one day Luo Zu truly threatens the Heavenly Emperor, He will surely exterminate him completely.

However, Luo Zu became increasingly curious about the three-legged golden toad, wondering how it dared to say such a thing.

How dare they let Luo Zu let the Heavenly Emperor off the hook?

But the more I think about it, the more...excited I get.

Fortunately, he has now achieved enlightenment and become a Golden Immortal. Otherwise, if so many distracting thoughts about the Heavenly Emperor flowed through his mind, the Heavenly Emperor would surely have noticed and then, even in the dead of night, a ball of true solar fire would have struck him.

"Raize..."

However, Luo Zu's mind was still preoccupied with the limited information provided by the three-legged toad.

"Leize" can't possibly be related to that extinct thunder beast, can it?

"Could it be... Emperor Fu?" A thought suddenly flashed through Luo Zu's mind.

But Emperor Fu has already fallen, so how could he still be secretly manipulating events in the public eye?

And those Great Luo Immortals...

However, he thought of the Old Ancestor Hongyun, who was still able to cause so many troubles even after his death.

So Emperor Fu really did have this ability, and he would achieve another great thing in the future—the Emperor of the Human Race!

If the three-legged golden toad had a past relationship with Emperor Fu, why would it ask Luo Zu to spare the Heavenly Emperor once in the future?

That doesn't seem very reasonable.

After all, there are many rumors in the prehistoric world about the fall of Emperor Fu, claiming that the Heavenly Emperor killed him.

Let bygones be bygones, and Luo Zu was unwilling to think about it any further. He also took the toad Koko back into the artifact realm to continue managing it for him.

In addition, we must promote the sublimation of the spirits of the artifact realm.

After all, the spirit of the artifact realm had reached its limit, just a little short of leaping from the "half-step spirit treasure" level to the spirit treasure level.

In particular, when Luo Zu attained the Golden Immortal realm, he propelled the great supernatural power of the World in the Pot to the fourth-order immortal art, which in turn caused the myriad heavens of the Heart Sea to upgrade and expand, including the Artifact Realm.

The spirit of the artifact was previously taken by the Heavenly Demon Commander to refine magical treasures, but this act did not taint it; instead, it added to its spirituality.

In short, His progress has been significant, but upgrading is not easy.

Especially for magical artifacts, the refining process takes even longer, sometimes taking millions of years to make any progress, unless the owner devotes a great deal of energy to it, or even abandons their own cultivation.

However, the spirit of the artifact cultivates extremely quickly. After all, it is both a magical artifact and the Dao of a world. The cultivation of artifact spirits in the world helps it cultivate, so its own refinement is indeed not slow.

However, the difficulty of upgrading to a spiritual treasure is quite high, and quantitative changes are unlikely to lead to qualitative changes.

Luo Zu could only try his best and hope that the spirit of the vessel world could "figure it out" on its own.

In the myriad realms of the Heart Sea, apart from the Realm of Vessels, which Luo Zu placed high hopes on, all other realms also received Luo Zu's attention.

All parties are still trying to create a new world, and the "corpse of the Golden Immortal" is being communicated with more and more frequently.

It's a bit too much to ask such a group of immortals and celestial beings to try to create the world, since not everyone has the supernatural power of creating a world within a pot.

But as more people tried, especially as the influence of the "Corpse of the Golden Immortal" grew stronger, it inspired even more people to attempt to create a new world.

After numerous tests, someone is finally about to succeed.
