Chapter 10 Mount Lu Wu, Superior Innate Spiritual Root
Chapter 10 Mount Lu Wu, Superior Innate Spiritual Root
at the moment.
Lu Wu, who was being pressed down by Tianlu, appeared extremely humble at this moment, trembling all over as he felt the terrifying pressure from the Great Luo Golden Immortal on his back.
"Pixiu Heavenly Venerable, I don't want it anymore... I don't want it anymore!"
Lu Wu felt utterly miserable, and tears were almost falling from his eyes.
He couldn't understand how this seemingly greedy and lustful Pixiu could actually be a high-ranking immortal.
Even if I, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, risked my life, I simply couldn't defeat him!
Lu Wu was filled with regret. No wonder the nine-tailed fox refused to come when he went to ask it to patrol the mountain together, and even made an excuse to run away.
It turns out that the nine-tailed fox has a naturally keen sense of spirituality and must have sensed the intruder's terrifying strength long ago.
How infuriating! They didn't even warn me!
Lu Wu couldn't understand it. According to the inherited memories, although the Pixiu clan were auspicious beasts, they were not usually known for their combat power. There was no reason for them to have such strong combat power.
But reality often contradicts expectations, and I've really run into a brick wall today.
Seeing that Lu Wu had completely given up resisting and obediently admitted defeat, Tianlu nodded in satisfaction.
He patted Lu Wu's neck, thinking that although his cloud was comfortable, he got a little tired of sitting on it for a long time, and he was just in need of a cool mode of transportation.
This enlightened beast, Lu Wu, looks quite good and would be perfect as a mount.
"Since you've admitted defeat, then obediently follow orders and head towards this blessed land in the Kunlun Sacred Realm, a place imbued with the spiritual essence of heaven and earth!"
When Lu Wu heard that he was to be made a treasure hunter by the great enlightened beast, his inherent pride as a divine beast made him subconsciously want to refuse.
"Pixiu, I will not easily..."
Upon hearing that he dared to refuse, Tianlu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his seemingly soft claws involuntarily landed on Lu Wu's neck.
A trace of the Devouring Law at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal flowed at the tip of his claw, causing Lu Wu's soul to tremble.
Under the threat of death, Lu Wu's pride vanished instantly.
"Heavenly Venerable, please calm your anger! This humble beast will lead the way, will lead the way!"
Lu Wu quickly agreed to Tianlu's request and dared not have the slightest thought of disobeying him.
Afterwards, Lu Wu carried Tianlu and began to roam freely among the mountains of Kunlun Sacred Realm.
With Lu Wu, a local strongman, leading the way, Tianlu indeed saved a lot of effort.
However, after visiting several mountains, Tianlu found some innate spiritual roots, but most of them were low-grade items, such as Star Grass and Mystic Spirit Fruit.
Although these things can also transform within the space inside the abdomen, they are simply not enough to satisfy Tianlu, who has already tasted the sweetness of the Creation Lotus.
Sitting on Lu Wu's back, Tianlu seriously suspected that this enlightened beast was just trying to appease him and was simply giving him some junk.
Otherwise, how could Xikunlun, a top-tier blessed land in the primordial world, and Lu Wu, a local tyrant born in Kunlun and living here, not have a few decent treasures?
Tianlu snorted coldly, scratching Lu Wu's neck again with his claws, his tone full of threat.
"Little kitty, are you playing tricks on me? If you don't find a good treasure soon, you can forget about living in Kunlun forever. Obediently come with me and be my mount for life!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wu was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder seemed to split open, and the hair on his body stood on end.
If he were to be captured by this greedy Pixiu and made its mount for life, he, as a dignified enlightened beast, would lose all face, and his path to the Great Dao would be completely severed.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of keeping anything secret. Most of the treasures in Kunlun Sacred Realm are hidden within innate formations."
"However, since the Celestial Venerable has spoken, this humble beast will now take you to a truly precious place!"
Lu Wu explained with trepidation, then quickly sped up, taking Tianlu deeper into the Kunlun Mountains.
Tianlu sat on its back, feeling the rich spiritual energy rushing towards him, and nodded in satisfaction.
Soon, Lu Wu led Tianlu through a misty canyon and arrived at a secluded blessed land with a spiritual spring.
As soon as you step into this place, a refreshing fragrance wafts over you, and taking a breath makes you feel as if your very soul is about to soar.
Tianlu looked up and saw a towering divine tree radiating a brilliant blue light growing in the center of the spiritual spring.
The branches and leaves of the divine tree are like jade carvings, with profound life patterns flowing on each leaf.
Among the lush foliage hung eighteen fruits, each the size of a baby's fist, translucent and containing boundless vitality and longevity substances.
As a favorite of the Great Dao, Tianlu knew the name of the person with just one glance at their appearance and the unique Daoist aura they exuded.
This was clearly a top-grade innate spiritual root.
A tree that is born with immortality.
Legend has it that as long as one consumes one of its fruits, one can enjoy immortality, live as long as heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and moon.
If an ordinary being obtains it, it will immediately shed its mortal form and become an immortal.
However, when Tianlu looked at this superior innate spiritual root, which would drive countless mortal beings mad in the primordial world of later generations, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"This thing doesn't seem to be very useful, does it?"
Tianlu pursed his lips and couldn't help but complain.
In a perilous world like the Primordial Era, as long as one's cultivation reaches the Golden Immortal realm, one can break free from the shackles of lifespan and achieve immortality.
For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, lifespan is even more of a transcendence of fate. As long as they don't get tainted by overwhelming karma or get caught up in calamities, lifespan is not a problem at all.
The fruit of this innate longevity tree, besides providing a negligible increase in vitality, primarily satisfies one's appetite.
Even if one were to swallow this Tree of Immortality into their stomach and transform it into a top-grade innate spiritual root, the core law effect would likely only be to increase lifespan, with very limited improvement in combat power and cultivation level.
Tianlu strongly suspected that Lu Wu had deliberately brought him here to find this kind of spiritual root, which was like a chicken rib to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
As a primordial divine beast, Lu Wu was extremely perceptive and immediately sensed the ill intent in Tian Lu's eyes.
He felt the pressure from the Great Luo Golden Immortal on his back begin to resurface, and he was terrified. He quickly tried to make amends.
"Heavenly Venerable One, please wait! This humble beast knows that the Tree of Immortality is beneath your notice, but this humble beast knows of another place!"
"There is definitely an extraordinary opportunity hidden there, but because it is protected by an extremely profound innate formation, my cultivation is too shallow to break through it, which is why I didn't dare to take you there."
Upon hearing that there was an innate formation protecting them, Tianlu's eyes immediately lit up.
In the primordial world, wherever there is a primordial array that conceals and protects the land, there will surely be a top-grade primordial spiritual root or a primordial spiritual treasure.
"Then what's the point of all this talk? Take me there now!"
Tianlu urged him on without any politeness, while simultaneously slapping Lu Wu's buttocks with his paw.
Lu Wu dared not hesitate for a moment. He immediately carried Tianlu and transformed into a whirlwind, speeding towards the mysterious place he had mentioned, which was protected by an innate formation.
