A passing traveler through the heavens

In just one hour, the Howling Celestial Dog, under Huan'er's guidance, had become as intelligent and behaved as an adult.

Ji Lin nodded in satisfaction, transformed Huan'er back into mobile phone mode, put her back into the system space, and restored Xiaotian Dog to its original form. He planned to give Yang Jian a surprise, so he took Xiaotian Dog back to Yuxu Palace.

At this moment, Yang Jian was still focused on practicing his skills when Ji Lin stepped forward and interrupted him, saying, "Junior brother, I have prepared a surprise for you."

Yang Jian looked at Ji Lin with a puzzled expression, stopped what he was doing, and asked with curiosity in his eyes, "Senior brother, what's the matter?"

Ji Lin pulled out the Howling Celestial Dog from behind, untied its rope, gently stroked its head, then stood up, took a step back, and smiled in greeting.

In an instant, the Celestial Hound transformed into human form.

Yang Jian's eyes widened in shock, his surprise instantly turning into ecstatic joy. He stepped forward and exclaimed excitedly, "This...this is the Howling Celestial Dog? Senior Brother, how did you do that?!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, the celestial hound, now in human form, threw itself into Yang Jian's arms, crying out, "Master, Master..."

Ji Lin smiled and explained the whole story to Yang Jian, then jokingly added, "Junior brother, you'll have a great helper from now on. The Celestial Hound is quite clever these days."

Yang Jian didn't say much, only looking at Ji Lin with gratitude. Afterwards, Ji Lin took out a pill made from a dragon pearl, handed one to Yang Jian, and then took his leave.

Back at his residence in the Jade Void Palace, Ji Lin sat cross-legged on the bed, his aura calm and peaceful.

He slowly raised his hand and placed the last Dragon Ball pill in his palm. The pill emitted a soft and warm light. He took a deep breath, tilted his head back, and swallowed the pill.

Instantly, a surge of immense energy exploded within his body, like a raging wave, violently impacting his meridians.

Ji Lin felt as if his whole body was being burned by raging fire, and his meridians made crackling sounds under the impact of the powerful energy.

Ji Lin then circulated his internal energy cultivation technique. As the technique was activated, the violent energy within his body was gradually tamed and began to flow slowly along his meridians, merging into every inch of his flesh and blood, and every cell.

As he continued to absorb energy, Ji Lin's body began to emit a faint golden light, as if he were enveloped in a layer of sacred radiance.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Lin finally succeeded in absorbing all the energy.

He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. He stood up and practiced a set of punches in the room, clearly feeling that he was only one step away from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

After consolidating his power, he left the room and bid farewell to his master, Jade Cauldron Immortal. Ji Lin prepared to travel around the prehistoric world.

After Ji Lin explained his purpose to Master Yu Ding, Master Yu Ding looked at Ji Lin with concern and expectation in his eyes and said earnestly.

“Disciple, the primordial world is vast and boundless, seemingly full of opportunities, but in reality it hides dangers.”

"When traveling abroad, one must be extra careful in all things and never act rashly. If you encounter conflict, avoid it if possible and do not easily get involved in unnecessary disputes."

"But if we encounter injustice, we must not stand idly by; we must uphold the principles of Jade Void Palace."

Ji Lin respectfully cupped his hands and said, "This disciple will certainly follow Master's teachings and live up to your expectations."

Afterwards, Ji Lin found Yang Jian. Upon learning that Ji Lin was going on a journey, Yang Jian's eyes flashed with reluctance, and he said, "Senior brother, take care on your journey."

"I'm really worried about my little sister Yang Chan. If you happen to pass by Qianyuan Mountain, please make sure to check on her and see if she's doing well."

Ji Lin patted Yang Jian on the shoulder and said firmly, "Junior brother, don't worry, I will definitely go to visit Yang Chan. I will come back and let you know if anything happens."

Yang Jian looked at Ji Lin gratefully and bowed again to express his thanks: "In that case, I will have to rely on you, Senior Brother."

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Ji Lin's spiritual power surged, and he rode the escape light towards Qianyuan Mountain. However, after flying for a short while, he suddenly felt a strong spiritual energy fluctuation.

The fluctuations resembled a surging tide, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to surge and churn. Clearly, a great treasure was about to be born.

A flicker of excitement and anticipation flashed in Ji Lin's eyes. Without hesitation, he changed direction and followed the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

Before long, a magnificent and towering mountain came into view, soaring into the clouds and surrounded by mist.

He immediately activated his cultivation technique, using his spiritual power to envelop the entire mountain in search of the treasure's exact location.

But just as his mental energy touched the mountain, an invisible barrier suddenly blocked it, and when his mental energy hit it, it felt like hitting a wall of iron.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a hidden formation with intricate patterns and an eerie power.

Looking down the mountain, two young men stood before the formation.

They were dressed in simple coarse linen clothes, but their expressions were extremely focused. Each of them was making strange hand seals, and spiritual energy was constantly flowing around their bodies. They were obviously trying to break the formation.

It seems that the fluctuation of spiritual energy just now was caused by their breaking of the formation.

Ji Lin remained vigilant, using invisibility to silently approach the two from behind. He held his breath, quietly observing their every move.

One of the young men had beads of sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and kept changing hand seals. With each change, a golden light shot out from his hands and disappeared into the formation.

The other young man muttered incantations, gathering his spiritual energy at his fingertips to form an illusory sword of spiritual power, which he then thrust fiercely towards the node of the formation.

With each thrust of the sword, the formation trembled violently, and the surrounding air distorted.

As time passed, the runes on the formation began to dim, their light flickering as if making a final struggle.

The two shouted and simultaneously unleashed all their spiritual power. The golden light and the sword of spiritual power merged into one, like a dazzling star, and crashed fiercely into the formation.

With a deep rumble, the two successfully broke the ancient formation. Where the formation dissipated, an even richer spiritual energy instantly spread out.

A simple, round coin floated quietly in mid-air. The coin was about three inches in diameter, with a circle of simple cloud patterns carved around its edge. Each cloud pattern was smooth and natural, as if it had been carefully polished by time.

On the obverse of the coin is engraved a yin-yang double fish pattern, with the two fish connected head to tail, as if swimming gracefully. The scales on the fish's bodies are depicted with lifelike detail and emit a faint glow, shimmering with the flow of spiritual energy.

The reverse side features intricate ancient runes that exude a mysterious aura. The lines of the runes shimmer with golden light, echoing and complementing the faint glow on the front.

Ji Lin recognized it at a glance; it was very likely the innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Dropping Coin.

After all, in the primordial world, the only innate spiritual treasure that resembles a coin is the Falling Treasure Coin.

At that moment, he felt a surge of excitement; this was an opportunity that would not come again!

Ji Lin acted decisively, instantly deactivated his stealth state, and unleashed his spiritual power. With lightning speed, he extended his palm, and a stream of spiritual power carrying the Treasure Coin was instantly absorbed into his system space.
