Primordial Era: The Giant Turtle Returning from Immortality

In the primordial world, spiritual treasures are divided into innate and acquired types.

Acquired spiritual treasures are artificially crafted, mostly made from raw materials.

Although it is quite powerful, it ultimately has a touch of craftsmanship, and its internal laws are incomplete, so it has its limits.

Just like the Kunpeng, which uses the place where it was born to create the "Kunpeng Nest".

Because the materials we used were good.

Although it is a decent acquired spiritual treasure, it is hardly a vessel for the Great Dao.

And innate spiritual treasures.

It was formed from the laws of the Great Dao and the innate origin before the creation of heaven and earth, containing the complete laws of the Great Dao, infinitely mysterious and incomparably powerful.

Obtaining a primordial spiritual treasure not only greatly increases one's combat strength, but also allows one to comprehend the corresponding Great Dao. It is a treasure that all cultivators dream of.

Since its birth, Kunpeng has roamed the Northern Sea and traveled far and wide in the primordial wilderness, but it has never been able to obtain a primordial spiritual treasure of its own, which is a great regret in its heart.

Now, with an unclaimed innate spiritual treasure right before their eyes, how could they not be tempted?

Guiyuan also sensed a faint causal connection between himself and the black flag.

Spiritual treasures are captivating, let alone those that are innate.

When traversing the primordial world, one's own cultivation is the foundation, but a powerful spiritual treasure is often the key to determining life and death and seizing opportunities.

Moreover, just by looking at the appearance of this magical treasure, Guiyuan already roughly knew what it was.

Of the five innate flags formed from the petals of the Chaos Green Lotus, the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag is said to have fallen into the hands of the Styx River, unlike the other four innate flags.

Some say it should be in the north, or perhaps it fell into the hands of the Xuan Turtle, and then into the hands of Nuwa.

Now it seems that it has indeed fallen into the hands of the Black Tortoise, after all, it is a treasure of the North.

He realized the cause and effect above, and that it was destined to be his. If it weren't for this tribulation, he would have obtained it later by following the cause and effect.

But that should only be done when it's still a tortoise shell; at that point, it's also a matter of life and death.

Guiyuan would never give it up, as these are at least top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Let alone for a Daluo, even if it were a step further up, it would be beneficial.

Moreover, the Great Dao contained within is a great boon to both Guiyuan and Kunpeng.

Who is willing to give in?

The atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward.

They were both innate deities of the Northern Darkness, and just moments ago they addressed each other as fellow Daoists, but now they are vying for treasure.

Directly tearing off the mask of civility and seizing the goods is not a respectable act, nor is it the behavior of a wise person.

Kunpeng's mind raced, and a smile crept onto his sinister face as he spoke first: "Fellow Daoist Guiyuan, this treasure has appeared before our eyes, and it is destined to be with my Beiming."

However, a treasure cannot serve two masters…

He paused for a moment, then proposed a solution: "How about we have a friendly competition, and the winner gets the treasure?"

He had his own plans.

This old tortoise—no, Guiyuan—had previously spent his days in a daze in the North Sea, with almost no combat experience.

As for himself, he had set foot on the northern continent, fought against the remaining ferocious beasts, and even clashed with the dragons who dominated the four seas, so he was very experienced.

Even if we are at similar skill levels, I am sure I will have the upper hand in actual combat!

Guiyuan was taken aback at first, then found it somewhat amusing.

Yes.

In the present primordial world, Hongjun has not yet attained enlightenment, Zixiao Palace has not yet begun its teachings, and many schemes and entanglements of cause and effect have not yet become widespread.

The way powerful beings resolve conflicts is rather "simple".

Let's have a fight.

Winner takes all; it's simple and straightforward.

"Does this Kunpeng think I have a high level of cultivation but lack combat skills? Does it intend to use its experience to subdue me?"

He shook his head and chuckled inwardly.

"Battle? In the world of immortality, I was a celestial king who fought my way up from a mortal through mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"

Did they really think I was just a figurehead, waving flags and shouting slogans while I was working alongside model worker Fang?

Without real skill, they would have been annihilated long ago by the combined might of the Heavenly Lords and Celestial Kings!

Kunpeng's experience in fighting ferocious beasts and battling dragons is nothing compared to the vast wars and sieges by celestial kings he has experienced.

"Good." Guiyuan nodded calmly in agreement, "I will do as you say, fellow Daoist."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two of them suddenly changed their demeanor.

Guiyuan and Kunpeng faced off in mid-air, their thoughts racing as they weighed each other's strengths and weaknesses.

The battles of the primordial world were nothing more than a contest of five things: realm, laws, spiritual treasures, supernatural powers, and physical body.

In terms of cultivation level, both of them were at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, so they were evenly matched.

In terms of spiritual treasures... the two are currently practically "penniless." The small black flag that sparked the dispute is still hovering in the distance, so let's leave that aside for now. At least Kunpeng has the "Kunpeng Nest," crafted from the Northern Dark Ice, his birthplace, as an acquired spiritual treasure, while Guiyuan is truly unarmed, having just taken human form and possessing nothing at all.

Kunpeng was well aware of his physical strength. Although his innate divine body was extraordinary, it was probably slightly inferior to the North Sea Black Tortoise, which was known for its defense and endurance.

"So it seems the key to victory lies in the comprehension of laws and the application of supernatural powers!" A glint flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, his confidence growing. Born extremely early, he had spent years comprehending the Great Dao of Feng Shui, and combined his own Daoist techniques with countless lifetimes of combat experience to create several powerful supernatural abilities. In contrast, Guiyuan had previously been confused and ignorant, likely possessing only a high level of cultivation but lacking understanding of the subtleties of combat!

"Fellow Daoist, be careful!"

Without hesitation, Kunpeng struck first. He knew the Xuan Turtle's defenses were formidable, so he didn't seek immediate victory but instead laid out his plan. He simply pressed his hands down, and the laws of water resonated around him, drawing upon the Northern Sea below!

"Return to the Void!"

Boom!

The space around Guiyuan instantly darkened and collapsed, as if forming an invisible, enormous vortex. Not only was the light swallowed up, but even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even the cultivator's own dissipated energy, were forcibly extracted and sealed off! This was a trapping technique deduced by Kunpeng using the Great Dao of Water, intended to cut off any way for Guiyuan to recover his magical power, trapping him in a cage.

However, Guiyuan's eyes remained calm, and he had already discerned Kunpeng's intentions the instant the Kunpeng's aura changed.

"A trivial skill."

He uttered four words softly, his body motionless, yet the immense magical power within him erupted like a volcano.

"Great Dragon Physiognomy! Great World Technique!"

hold head high--!

Suddenly, countless dragon roars resounded in the void! Countless ancient celestial dragons, formed from condensed magical power, appeared out of thin air. Each one was covered with scales and claws, containing supreme dragon might and the power to create a world! The myriad dragons surged forward, not in a chaotic manner, but in an instant, they intertwined and combined, transforming into a vast refining world that covered all four directions!

The Great Immortal Technique of Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the Realm!

This is a powerful immortal technique in the world of immortality that combines the supreme divine power of the dragon race with the power of world creation, and its power is boundless!

"Boom!"

The newly formed "Return to Nothingness" cage was shattered like fragile glass under this domineering and unparalleled refining power! The blockade was broken instantly!

"What?!" Kunpeng's pupils shrank drastically, his heart filled with horror. "Dragon Clan divine power? So pure and vast! What is his connection with the dragon race?!"

Seeing that the residual power of the Myriad Dragons Refining Realm was still undiminished and was surging back, Kunpeng dared not take it head-on. He instantly activated the Great Dao of Wind, and his figure transformed into an almost invisible stream of light. This was the extremely fast technique he had deduced—Peng Strike! In an instant, he had already escaped the coverage of the immortal technique.

Despite his surprise, he remained calm and composed. He was extremely experienced in combat. As he fled, his hands were already forming hand seals, and the laws of Feng Shui and the two paths of Feng Shui merged and resonated between his palms!
