The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

Wei Chen used the Dao talisman to sense the surroundings and found that there was no innate grand formation nearby.

Come to think of it, if there were a primordial grand formation, how could there be a lack of treasures?

No matter how incredibly lucky he is, he can't possibly find treasures everywhere he goes.

After thinking it over, Wei Chen decided to set up a large formation himself.

A grand formation set up using ordinary innate spiritual objects would definitely not work.

This is Mount Buzhou, which was formed from the spine of Pangu, and Pangu's energy is omnipresent.

His formation wasn't powerful enough to withstand the pressure of the stock market.

However, he happened to possess a treasure that could conceal the oppressive power of Pangu.

He said to Wang Shu, "I will set up a grand formation. Please wait a moment."

"Um……"

Wei Chen put down Wang Shu, took out the Earth Lotus as the array eye, and used the Eight Desolations Earth-Suppressing Pearl to stabilize the eight directions.

Wang Shu was stunned; this foundation was far too profound!

After setting up the grand formation, Wei Chen glanced back at Wang Shu and found her stunned and bewildered expression incredibly alluring. He really wanted to disregard his image and go forward to pamper her.

But I held back after thinking about it.

Wang Shu is not Zhu Que; a woman with thin skin cannot take a joke.

A fleeting moment of pleasure is not as worthwhile as a long-lasting, steady experience.

Wei Chen said boldly, "What do you think of this treasure of mine?"

Wang Shu was stunned, not understanding why.

"Would you like to cultivate the Dao of Earth? I can lend you a supreme treasure," Wei Chen tempted Wang Shu.

Wang Shu's face surged, her expression shifting rapidly. She said, "No need! I lack your profound talent, fellow Daoist. The Great Dao of Yin and Yang is sufficient for my lifelong comprehension!"

To be versatile without mastering anything is the worst thing one can do in cultivation. Wang Shu is already quite satisfied with comprehending the Great Dao of Yin and Yang; if he were to covet other Great Daos, he would likely end up achieving nothing.

Upon hearing this, Wei Chen was stunned.

The earth is all-encompassing, carrying all paths, embracing all things, like the ocean embracing all rivers, embodying profound benevolence and virtue, and so on...

This is the supreme path, yet Wang Shu actually refused it.

Is she stupid? Or is she intelligent and rational?

Wei Chen couldn't help but admire Wang Shu's character; besides her, no one else in the entire primordial world possessed such courage.

"Here you go..." Wei Chen tossed the supreme treasure to Wang Shu like trash.

Wang Shu smiled gratefully, offering no words of utterance.

The two then went into seclusion.

An entire era has passed without a sound...

Wei Chen looked at Wang Shu with an extremely complex expression. There was envy, resentment, and amazement, among other things.

Back then, he endured countless hardships and spent countless days and nights in deep thought before finally achieving a physical body at the level of a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Wang Shu has already reached the level of a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure in such a short time.

But thinking about it, I can understand. Wang Shu's background is no worse than his.

The Yin-Yang origin has reshaped the Dao body, and he has already comprehended a trace of the Great Dao of Chaos. His foundation is no worse than that of an ordinary Chaos Demon God.

Although the physical body of the Chaos Demon God is incredibly powerful, it has a major flaw: it can only cultivate its own original Dao, which greatly limits its potential.

However, Wangshu's Yin-Yang Dao is different. The Yin-Yang Dao encompasses everything, contains all paths, and evolves all things, making it extremely mysterious.

"How was your harvest this time, fellow Daoist?" Wang Shu asked curiously.

Wei Chen shook his head speechlessly. He had gained something, but it was nothing compared to Wang Shu's. It was too embarrassing to admit!

"Let's go!"

Wei Chen didn't want to talk about it, so Wang Shu didn't ask any more questions.

As soon as he put away the great formation, Wei Chen was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Gagaga..." Wei Chen laughed strangely.

Wang Shu, standing beside him, smiled, happy for Wei Chen's good fortune.

Wei Chen stroked the three-foot-long, earthen-yellow mace, his joy evident in his eyes.

The Mountain-Catching Mace is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. To have such a powerful earth-based spiritual treasure delivered to one's doorstep—this luck is truly heaven-defying.

Moreover, this Mountain-Driving Mace has a remarkable origin; it was formed from a piece of Pangu's flesh and blood, containing the Dao of the Earth, and can command the power of the primordial land, making it extremely mysterious.

Wei Chen could sense Pangu's aura from the Mountain-Catching Mace—immortal, indomitable, and supremely noble.

Holding the Mountain-Driving Mace, the pressure on Pangu eased somewhat.

Wei Chen thought for a moment and said, "You keep this treasure. It can reduce the pressure from Pangu. You can return it to me after we leave Buzhou Mountain."

"Um……"

The two climbed Buzhou Mountain together, persevering tirelessly for years.

This time, Wei Chen used Taoist talismans to sense the eight directions at all times, hoping to find the treasure again.

As expected, Buzhou Mountain did not disappoint him; on this day, the Dao talisman trembled.

Wei Chen rushed to the scene with Wang Shu and took out the earth lotus and started smashing it.

After blasting open the great formation, Wei Chen beamed with joy. With a wave of his hand, a jet-black broadsword and a snow-white longsword appeared in his grasp.

“This is yours!” Wei Chen handed the longsword to Wang Shu.

“This…” Wang Shu stammered, “This is too precious! I did not contribute anything, and I am ashamed to accept such a treasure.”

"Just take it when I tell you to," Wei Chen said, seizing the opportunity to grab Wang Shu's soft little hand.

“No, this is a fortunate opportunity for you, fellow Daoist; I cannot accept it,” Wang Shu declined.

"Take it," Wei Chen said, frowning.

Seeing that Wei Chen was unhappy, Wang Shu stopped refusing and accepted the longsword.

His heart was filled with joy: this longsword was not a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, nor even a high-grade spiritual treasure.

However, its value is in no way inferior to that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

This is an innate Dao treasure. As long as its owner is strong enough, and inscribed with their own Dao essence, and after years of refinement, it will undoubtedly become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Moreover, as the owner's cultivation level increases, the spiritual treasure will continue to advance in rank.

It doesn't even need to be mixed with any spiritual materials; that's what makes the Innate Daoist Pestle so extraordinary.

Wei Chen looked at Wang Shu, who was secretly delighted, and thought to himself that women are really troublesome. They clearly like her a lot, but they pretend to like her while refusing.

"Let's go..."

Having tasted success, Wei Chen worked even harder to find treasure.

Only a few years after they left, both of them were breathing heavily and covered in wounds.

But Wei Chen was extremely excited at that moment.

With Wang Shu by his side, they launched another fierce attack, which took longer this time, but Wei Chen was not angry but rather pleased.

The higher the level of the innate grand formation, the higher the level of the treasures it contains.

After days and nights of bombardment, the long-awaited cracking sound of shattering finally rang out.

The two of them gaped in astonishment at what they saw...

There are five blue lotuses inside, quietly rooted in a pool of water, noble and holy, exuding Taoist charm, with flowing blue light and a fragrant aroma that refreshes the mind and spirit.

That's not all; there was also a green flag fluttering in the wind and a jade disc floating in the air.

The two exchanged a glance, and Wei Chen said, "I'll take that twelfth-grade blue lotus; the rest are yours."

Wang Shu looked conflicted, hesitated for a moment, then decisively shook his head. He said, "This was discovered by you, fellow Daoist, and it rightfully belongs to you."

It wasn't that she didn't want such a precious treasure. On the contrary, it was precisely because it was so valuable that she couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

Wei Chen had already given her the Innate Dao Brush, a supreme treasure, before. Now he was giving her another supreme treasure, which she could not accept no matter what.

Wei Chen understood Wang Shu's personality and stopped being coy. After thinking for a moment, he put away all the treasures, leaving only the two ninth-grade blue lotuses.

Looking resolutely at Wang Shu, he pointed to the pool in the pond and said, "Yours..."

Seeing that she could not refuse, Wang Shu gladly put away the green lotus and the pool of Three Lights Divine Water, her eyes filled with smiles.

Wei Chen smiled and nodded, quite pleased with Wang Shu's obedience. Suddenly, he gathered his true essence into a large hand and grabbed at the pool water, as if he were about to dig three feet into the ground.

Bang! Mud and rocks flew everywhere.

A large piece of spiritual jade appeared before Wang Shu's eyes. The pure white jade was full of Daoist charm and spirituality, radiating a soft and auspicious light.

“This is yours too…” Wei Chen said in an undeniable tone.

Wang Shu was stunned. She hadn't expected there to be such a treasure at the bottom of the pool, and she certainly hadn't expected Wei Chen to give it to her without hesitation.

She pursed her lips and happily accepted it.

Wei Chen took out his most precious treasure to set up a grand formation, and after a moment, the two sat in the formation.

Wei Chen took out a fragment of Creation and handed it to Wang Shu, saying with a smile, "This fragment of Creation contains the three Daos of artifacts, formations, and pills. If you study it, it will greatly benefit your cultivation of the innate Dao."

After a pause, Wei Chen patted his chest and declared boldly, "What kind of spiritual materials do you need? Just say the word, I have plenty of top-grade innate spiritual materials."

Wang Shu felt uneasy, looking at Wei Chen with complicated emotions, unsure of what to say.

"That's settled then!" Wei Chen waved his hand and said.

Wang Shu went aside to contemplate the art of weapon crafting.

Wei Chen smiled broadly, feeling extremely pleased: "Sanqing, no matter how fortunate you are, you won't even get to drink the water to wash your feet in front of me, the Emperor."

Now that the Twelve-Petaled Green Lotus is in my hands, I wonder if the Three Pure Ones will still be able to enjoy it in the future.

This is really something to look forward to...
