The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 15 Bixiao Borrows a Treasure
It would be good to go out for a stroll with Jin Ling and the others, just to relax and find a place to cultivate in the future. We could also look for treasures. Of course, most of the prehistoric world has already been searched, and most of the innate treasures are in the hands of powerful beings. However, there are exceptions, namely the Three Immortal Islands, or more precisely, Yingzhou and Fangzhang among the Three Immortal Islands, which have not yet been discovered by the people of the prehistoric world.

As the lord of the Celestial Court and the Daoist temple of the Eastern King Duke, Penglai was almost completely destroyed after the Eastern King Duke's death, and fell out of the ranks of top-level blessed lands.

Yingzhou and Fangzhang, two of the Three Immortal Islands, are as famous as Penglai and belong to the top-level blessed lands. Although no one has found them, Zhou Chen guessed that there should be innate treasures inside.

"Great! I also need to build a dojo, so I'll have to trouble you senior sisters."

Zhou Chen readily agreed.

After Zhou Chen agreed, Jin Ling's eyes flashed with a strange light. Then she smiled and introduced everyone. Actually, she mainly introduced Zhou Chen, because Jin Ling believed that Zhou Chen would know the others. Although Zhou Chen had made a good impression when the treasure was distributed, she still introduced him again.

After the introductions, they used their cloud-riding technique to leave Jin'ao Island and begin their journey to find a training ground.

A streak of auspicious cloud streaked swiftly across the vast East China Sea.

A powerful aura emanated from above the auspicious clouds from time to time.

The sea monster, which had initially harbored malicious intent, was immediately frightened and retreated, no longer daring to cause trouble.

"So, Zhou Chen, do you still think the East Sea is beautiful and magnificent? Luckily you're with us, otherwise, with your Celestial Immortal realm, you would probably have been devoured by sea beasts long ago."

Bixiao Fairy, the most lively of the Three Immortals, teased Zhou Chen.

"Yes, the East Sea appears calm on the surface, but it is fraught with dangers on the surface. If you are not careful, you will die! Fortunately, I have my senior sisters with me. If I were alone, I would not dare to go out so easily. I will have to rely on my senior sisters in the future."

Zhou Chen didn't find the centuries-long, leisurely search for a training ground boring, all thanks to his lively and energetic senior sister, Qiongxiao, who kept the atmosphere light. Although Qiongxiao's personality could easily cause minor trouble, it also made the relationships between the group much more harmonious, so Zhou Chen gave her a round of applause.

"Junior brother, can I play with your Purple Lightning Hammer?"

Bixiao and Zhou Chen became quite familiar with each other. After all, their strength was the lowest among the group, so the senior sisters usually took care of things while she and Zhou Chen watched the show. In addition, Bixiao's lively personality made her best friend and Zhou Chen. Bixiao also liked playing with Zhou Chen. Since Zhou Chen was the weakest, she could enjoy being a senior sister for a while. Also, Zhou Chen was nice to talk to and honest, and she liked this kind of sincere junior brother.

After spending this time together, Bixiao felt that her relationship with Zhou Chen was good enough, which is why she made this request. Of course, Bixiao didn't mean to possess him; she really just meant it literally—she wanted to have some fun.

"Bixiao!"

Yunxiao's eyebrows furrowed, and she was about to scold Bixiao. That was a magic weapon bestowed by the sage. Although the sage said it was only temporarily borrowed, Yunxiao could guess the deeper meaning behind it.

What Yunxiao didn't expect was that before she could even scold him, Zhou Chen had already taken out the Purple Lightning Hammer and tossed it to Bixiao.

"Senior sister, what's our relationship? Just play around. But senior sister, you should be careful. This is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, containing the laws of thunder, and its power is immense."

However, Zhou Chen still gave her a word of advice, lest Bixiao act rashly and hurt herself or others.

Bi Xiao hurriedly took the Purple Lightning Hammer, looking at the unique aura of an innate spiritual treasure emanating from it, somewhat incredulous. "Junior brother, you just gave it to me like that?"

Jinling, Guiling, Wudang, Yunxiao, and Qiongxiao were also somewhat incredulous. This was an innate spiritual treasure, something everyone would cherish like a precious gem. Zhou Chen had given it to her just because of Bixiao's words, without even hesitating, as if the Purple Lightning Hammer were some insignificant little object, which he had casually tossed over.

"What are you dreaming about? You want it? Didn't you hear what the teacher said? It's just a loan. You can play with it as you like, but don't even think about taking it back unless you ask the teacher."

Zhou Chen said irritably. How could he not know what the Tongtian Sect Leader meant? But the Sect Leader had already said it was a temporary loan. If he were to give away the Purple Lightning Hammer, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the Sage? However, he also knew that Bixiao didn't mean it that way; she was just teasing Bixiao by saying that.

"Ah! That's not what I meant. I meant you just lent it to me like that? This is a primordial spiritual treasure!"

Bixiao quickly explained that that was not what she meant.

"Hey, with our relationship, how could I refuse? Don't worry, go ahead and have fun."

Zhou Chen casually waved his hand, and suddenly he sensed a subtle spatial fluctuation. You should know that Zhou Chen's magic power has been refined with the power of space and time, and after being washed by the long river of time, he is extremely familiar with the power of space and time, so he was able to sense this subtle spatial fluctuation.

"Senior sister, you are now at the Profound Immortal realm. Try to see what kind of divine lightning you can unleash by activating the Purple Lightning Hammer. This Purple Lightning Hammer is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. If used to its fullest potential, it can unleash the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning."

Zhou Chen sensed the spatial fluctuations and made a guess: it was either an enemy or an opportunity. However, judging from the scale of the spatial fluctuations, the possibility of an opportunity was high, since the spatial fluctuations were too large, no smaller than the size of Jin'ao Island.

Zhou Chen didn't want to reveal his strength for the time being, so he came up with a plan: to have Bi Xiao test the Purple Lightning Hammer and blast out what was inside the space so they would know what it was.

Of course, Zhou Chen would definitely need to intervene secretly. After all, with Bi Xiao's strength, even if she used a top-grade innate spiritual treasure like the Purple Lightning Hammer, the lightning she summoned wouldn't cause any damage to anything hidden in the space, and it was even uncertain whether it could even hit anything!

Fortunately, when the Tongtian Sect Leader bestowed the Purple Lightning Hammer, he had already withdrawn his spiritual consciousness. In other words, the Purple Lightning Hammer was ownerless, and the temporary loan was just an excuse. In Zhou Chen's hands, with his comprehension and familiarity with the laws of thunder, he had refined this top-grade innate spiritual treasure during this period of time and was able to unleash its full power, which is why he had this idea.

"Then let me try?"

Bixiao stroked the Purple Lightning Hammer, and although she was speaking to Zhou Chen, she secretly glanced at Yunxiao out of the corner of her eye.

Jin Ling, Yun Xiao, and the others didn't know why Zhou Chen had given the Purple Lightning Hammer to Bi Xiao so readily, but they couldn't say anything, since it was Zhou Chen's spiritual treasure.

Yunxiao chuckled, annoyed, as she watched Bixiao's little antics.

"Try it if you want, why are you watching me!"

Clearly, Yunxiao didn't think that Bixiao, with his Xuanxian realm, could cause much trouble by trying out a primordial spiritual treasure, even if it was a top-grade primordial spiritual treasure.
