Primordial Chaos: I, the Four Pure Ones of the Primordial Beginning, beg the Heavenly Dao to step do

Chapter 11 A Bountiful Harvest of Treasures: The Map of Mountains and Rivers

"Fourth brother is right."

As Taishang spoke, his actions did not stop. He took out a small hammer from his sleeve and handed it to Taichu.

"This is the Primordial Chaos Hammer, a primordial spiritual treasure containing thirty primordial restrictions, and concealing the laws of primordial chaos and spacetime. When thrown, it leaves no trace and is difficult to resist."

"Although it cannot compare to the Five-Colored Five-Directional Flags of the Primordial World, it is an excellent tool whether used for enlightenment or as a hidden weapon."

Wu Yunxian's Hunyuan Hammer?

Its ability to defeat the strong with the weak, easily taking down Chi Jingzi and Guang Chengzi, demonstrates its formidable power.

It's a pretty good item, actually.

The owner was just unlucky.

On the way to pursue Guang Chengzi, Zhunti, that shameless bald monk, interfered.

Not only did it fail to complete the task entrusted to it by Tongtian, it also lost itself, becoming an ornamental fish in the Western Eight Virtues Pond.

"The laws contained within this object will help me cultivate the Dao of Talismans and analyze the two divine runes of Primordial Chaos and Spacetime."

"Thank you for the gift, brother."

Tai Chu accepted the magic weapon, thanked him, and did not wait any longer.

"Second brother, third brother, let's set off quickly."

"It's normal to not be able to find a suitable one right away when there are too many treasures. We can wait until things settle down or after we've browsed the Phoenix Clan's treasure vault."

"We have plenty of time to allocate resources gradually."

The two who were constantly rummaging through the mustard seed space could only temporarily give up when they saw what Tai Chu said.

This time, we collected quite a few innate magical treasures and spiritual items.

There are probably few things that can rival the Immortal-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword and the Innate Five-Colored Five-Directional Flag.

A treasure containing special, supreme laws.

Neither of them managed to find a single one.

This is quite awkward.

They looted most of the dragon clan's treasure trove, yet they couldn't even offer a decent return gift.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that the two of them were reluctant to give their fourth brother the treasure!

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. This time, Third Brother was just unlucky and didn't find any useful treasures."

"Once I've made a trip to the Phoenix Clan's treasury, I'll definitely return the favor with this gift!"

Tai Chu wanted to say that it wasn't necessary.

But looking at Tongtian's stubborn eyes and Yuanshi's slightly gloomy face, he could only nod helplessly.

"Second brother, third brother, I believe in you."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi felt a mixture of displeasure and warmth in his heart.

He knew that anything is possible with human effort, and anyone can talk the talk.

Only by putting things out in the open can we wash away this embarrassment and shame.

He then turned and headed towards the treasure vault gate.

"Let's set off! To the Phoenix Clan's Treasure Vault!"

Tai Chu and Tai Shang exchanged a glance, shook their heads helplessly, and then followed in the footsteps of Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, ​​leaving the Dragon Clan's treasure vault.

They set off towards the southern immortal volcano cluster where the Phoenix Clan resided.

……

It's much closer to the Immortal Volcano from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea than it is to the East Sea from Mount Buzhou.

Traveling at full speed, the four of them arrived at the outer edge of the Undying Volcanoes in just over ten years.

"Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, something seems wrong."

Tongtian gazed down at the few figures scattered among the volcanoes below, his eyes filled with doubt and astonishment.

"Throughout the entire Undying Volcano Group, there are probably no more than a thousand people breathing."

"Even if the entire Phoenix Clan were to come out, it's impossible for them to leave only this many people to guard their territory and treasure vault, right?"

Yuan Shi also frowned slightly as he scanned the Phoenix Clan members below.

"The strongest are only three Great Luo Golden Immortals; the rest are Golden Immortals or Taiyi-level beings."

"Isn't Yuanfeng afraid that outsiders might take advantage of the situation?"

The Supreme One's fingertips rotated Yin and Yang, and the Tai Chi symbol manifested in his eyes. After calculating for several dozen breaths, he frowned slightly and murmured.

"Besides what's on the surface, the Phoenix Clan's territory also secretly harbors two Grand Luo Golden Immortals."

"But this still doesn't make sense."

"Five Grand Luo Golden Immortals may seem enough, but in reality, they are no match for those with ulterior motives who might take advantage of the situation."

"Could it be that the Phoenix Clan, like the Dragon Clan, has a Primordial Golden Immortal-level being preserved in their treasure vault?"

Taishang's speculation instantly unsettled Tongtian.

They immediately started complaining about this configuration.

"How come each of the three clans is more sinister than the last?"

"Why would a Primordial Golden Immortal stay behind to guard a treasure vault instead of participating in the great battle?"

"What's the use of guarding the treasure vault if everyone outside dies!"

Yuanshi remained calm and turned to look at Taichu.

"Fourth brother, the situation is unclear now. Should we continue to make the decision?"

"If you think it's okay, my brother and I will get started right away."

"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, please wait while I use the Karma Mirror to investigate."

"If there are really no problems, then let's get started."

After calming the group down with his words, Tai Chu took out the Mystic Mirror of Cause and Effect and, using his own karma as a guide, connected with the Phoenix Clan's treasure vault to deduce the consequences of this operation.

However, due to the obscurity of heavenly secrets, and the fact that the Phoenix Clan is one of the main protagonists of the Great Tribulation, the Heavenly Secrets remain shrouded in mystery.

Even with the Mirror of Cause and Effect used for deduction, he still did not obtain any concrete results.

They only received feedback that everything was fine and that an opportunity was approaching.

"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, this trip will be very successful, and there will be opportunities to come. We should not encounter any ambushes or traps."

"That's excellent."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Being's anxiety instantly subsided.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's take advantage of the Phoenix Clan's weakened defenses and make our move!"

With an excited shout, Tongtianmou prepared to rush into the Undying Volcano Cluster.

"Third brother, don't be in a hurry."

"The location of the treasure vault has not yet been determined; taking any rash action would only alert the enemy."

As Yuanshi calmly dissuaded Tongtian, he turned to look at Taishang.

Having already done it twice, how could the Supreme Being not understand the other party's intentions?

"Come with me."

The four of them then transformed into rainbows and flew into the immortal volcano group.

It took about an hour to travel through the mountains.

They arrived at an active volcano that stretched for ten miles and whose depth was unknown.

"The treasure trove lies beneath the magma."

"The guard is only one Great Luo Phoenix."

As soon as Taishang finished speaking, Yuanshi took the lead and summoned the Three Treasures Ruyi. He stealthily approached the Great Luo Phoenix Clan, poured all his magical power into it, and slammed it down on their heads.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

It caused him to instantly become paralyzed and lose his self-awareness.

"Eldest brother, feed him the medicine! Third brother, fourth brother, break the formation quickly!"

As he spoke, he kicked the unconscious Da Luo Feng clansman towards Tai Shang.

"Alright, watch me."

Tongtian had never seen Yuanshi act like this before. He responded with a hint of surprise in his eyes and then jumped directly into the magma.

The Supreme Being caught the flying Great Luo Phoenix Clan member, skillfully fed it a bewitching powder, and then tossed it aside.

Following closely behind, Tai Chu and Yuan Shi entered the molten lava.

Beneath the scorching golden-red magma, the Phoenix Clan had already carved out a space to house all the treasures they had plundered.

The array surrounding the treasure vault is the same as that used by the Qilin and the Dragon Clan.

All of these are merely decorative elements that obscure meaning, far more so than trapping and killing.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Tongtian had already skillfully deciphered the puzzle and led Taishang and the other two into it.

"As expected of a divine beast that is the origin of fire, its love for fire-attribute spiritual roots, equipment, and treasures is truly unparalleled in the primordial world."

The moment you step into the treasure trove, a wave of heat hits you!

Even though the four members of the Primordial Era were already immune to heat and cold and had achieved success in body refinement, they still felt a slight burning sensation.

"Second brother, third brother, let's do it."

Tai Chu knew that the two of them were feeling a little resentful.

He then let the others start looting first, while he and the Supreme Elder went to the place where spiritual herbs and ores were stored to collect the materials needed for alchemy and weapon crafting.

It's unclear whether the Phoenix Clan is short-handed or simply has a strong affinity for collecting fire-related items.

It took the four of them nearly a year to search and loot all the treasures in the vault.

"Fourth brother, come quick, your third brother has a great treasure for you!"

After collecting the last fire-attribute spiritual material mountain, a loud shout reached Tai Chu's ears.

Before he could react, Tongtian ran over with a seven-colored feather fan in hand and a joyful expression on his face.

"This is the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, belonging to the category of top-grade innate spiritual treasures. It contains thirty-six innate restrictions and a complete fire law."

"It is not only formed by the fusion of five kinds of fire: fire in the air, fire in the stone, fire in the wood, Samadhi fire, and human fire."

"Yuan Feng also used the primordial fire to refine it, fusing the feathers of the phoenix, the blue luan, the roc, the peacock, the white crane, the swan, the owl, and the seven birds into it."

"Burning the heavens and boiling the seas, melting mountains and refining stones, are all as easy as turning one's hand."

"Truly a top-tier treasure among the fire arts!"

Tai Chu accepted the seven-colored feather fan, a strange light rising in his eyes.

As the poem says:

Five rare treasures, named Seven Feathers, were first created by Suiren, who held the firefly.

When encountering mountains and strange rocks, they turn to ashes; when encountering the sea, they are dried up and barely exposed to the sun.

The first priority is to destroy wood and metal; the burning of beams and pillars continues unabated.

Wang Bianzong possessed the body of a deity, but his form would vanish the moment the fan was lifted.

This fan was a treasure of Huang Tianhua's master, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Their record is also quite impressive.

First, the Moral True Lord used this fan to kill the Heavenly Lord Wang Yi (Wang Bian) and break the Red Water Formation.

He later passed it on to his disciple Yang Ren, who used it to break the Plague Formation, killing Lü Yue, Li Ping, Chen Geng, Fang Yizhen, Yu Xian, and Yu Zhao, and scaring away Gao Ming and Yuan Hong.

It can be described as a renowned treasure of fire-related arts.

"Thank you for the gift, Third Brother. I am very pleased with this fan."

Tai Chu smiled faintly as he put away his feather fan, and was just about to express his gratitude when Yuan Shi's loud shout suddenly rang out.

"Fourth brother, this top-grade innate spiritual treasure is absolutely what you're looking for!"

Yuanshi, his face glowing, held a scroll high and placed it before them.

"This is?"

When Tai Chu saw how confident he was, he was also aroused with curiosity.

"This is a top-ten innate spiritual treasure, containing multiple Great Dao laws such as time, space, and creation, and recording the entire panorama of the primordial world—the Mountain and River Map!"

As they spoke, the scroll was unfurled.

Its interior reflects the vast universe, mountains and rivers, strange and wonderful things, the sun, moon and stars, flowers, trees, birds and beasts, and the earth's veins. The boundless spiritual energy within the treasure nurtures billions of living beings, which then cycle and dissipate between birth and death.

The scene in the picture is so lifelike and vivid, as if it were a real world!

Tai Chu quickly took it and carefully examined everything inside.

"I never imagined that the 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' would be hidden here."

"Based on the descriptions in the legends of the primordial era."

"If a sage does not possess a supreme treasure, he will be trapped within the painting for a hundred years and unable to escape."

"If it carries a priceless treasure, it can at least trap them for a year."

"In the primordial world, a year might not even be enough time for a nap."

"But for some crucial plans and life-or-death battles, the difference that comes with a year is like heaven and earth."
