The Second Expedition of Treasure Hunting in the Wilderness
Kunpeng saw that Huang Zhongli had formed 36 fruits, so he closed himself on the island of Fangzhang to cultivate and absorb 12 Huang Zhongli. His magical power was already in the middle period of Quasi-Saint, but due to his insufficient self-cultivation, his overall cultivation was still in the early stage of Quasi-Saint. At this time, Kunpeng was one of the top masters in Hongyuan, and only a few people could compare with him. However, compared to the previous Kunpeng, his current cultivation had fallen behind by a lot.
Kun Peng was a genuine quasi-sage mid-term expert before he got injured, while Zhang Fang had never heard of Daozu Hongjun's lectures and could only maintain his quasi-sage initial cultivation by relying on the memories left in Kun Peng's mind, which is already difficult to come by. Moreover, he has now obtained three extreme-quality innate spiritual treasures, and his overall strength is not inferior to before. However, what makes him feel a little regretful is that these three innate spiritual treasures are more defensive than offensive.
The Northern Mysterious Origin Water Control Flag is a powerful defensive treasure of the water attribute, capable of controlling all waters. The Kunpeng itself belongs to the water attribute, making this flag the most suitable weapon for it, although its attack power is relatively low, but it is the origin of water itself. The 12th-grade Mysterious Black Lotus and the Northern Mysterious Origin Water Control Flag are both treasures of the water attribute, the former being transformed from the Chaotic Green Lotus, making it the best choice for beheading the Three Corpses. The Twelve Sealing Divine Pearls, each pearl representing a world, when used to behead the Three Corpses, possess the power of twelve worlds, and in terms of magical power, even the Mysterious Black Lotus is inferior.
Kunpeng calculated the time and understood that the second heavenly tribulation was about to arrive, and the first witch war was also about to begin. He didn't want to expose his true strength in front of everyone too early, so he didn't want to participate in this struggle.
After some consideration, Kunpeng decided to continue treasure hunting before the Witch War. This time he set his sights on the vast expanse of Honghuang. With memories of later generations, he knew that every mountain in Honghuang might have a Primordial Spirit Treasure, although the quality might be somewhat low, it was still a Primordial Spirit Treasure, which could be used to kill the Three Corpses, and even if he didn't need it himself, he could give it to his disciples in the future. After the second Heavenly Tribulation, Honghuang was destroyed, and the spiritual energy scattered, most of the Primordial Spirit Roots contained in the land of Honghuang would be destroyed, so collecting Heavenly Spirit Roots was also one of his goals this time.
He entered the vast wilderness and began his treasure hunt. In Jiuhua Mountain, he found the pre-heavenly spiritual treasure 'Wheel of Reincarnation Mirror'. This was also an extraordinary pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, but at this time, the Six Paths of Reincarnation had not yet formed, so the treasure was still in a sealed state.
Taishan indeed lived up to its reputation as the leader of the Five Mountains. Kunpeng found the pre-heavenly spiritual treasure 'Drive Mountain Bell' on the mountain. Although this treasure was only a high-quality spiritual treasure and slightly inferior to the 'Wheel of Reincarnation Mirror' in quality, its function was not inferior to that of the 'Wheel of Reincarnation Mirror'. The 'Drive Mountain Bell' could drive away any mountain range, and it was one of the original sources of the earth, along with the Earth Book from the Heaven, Earth, and Man trilogy. The Earth Book could summon the power of the earth for defense, as long as one stood on the ground, its defensive power was not inferior to that of the post-heavenly treasure 'Heaven and Earth Xuan Huang Pagoda'.
The 'Drive Mountain Bell', on the other hand, was an attacking spiritual treasure that could drive any mountain range on the earth's surface for attack. It could be said that it was a rare attacking spiritual treasure.
"Du Shan Duo" is a top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure that doesn't stand out among the many spiritual treasures in the Primordial Chaos, but it's currently the most suitable for Kun Peng as it can hide his cultivation and not draw too much attention.
Kunpeng wandered in the vast expanse of Honghuang for a hundred years, almost traversing the entire land of Honghuang, but only obtained two pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, "Pre-Heavenly One Qi Band" and "Mysterious Water Shield", during the early period. However, neither of their qualities was satisfactory, offering no help to him, and were only suitable for bestowing upon his disciples. The "Pre-Heavenly One Qi Band" formed a small space on its own, which could either restrain enemies or cultivate heavenly spiritual roots, with a mid-to-high quality, but Kunpeng had the superior Dinghai Divine Pearl that surpassed it by a hundred times. The "Mysterious Water Shield", on the other hand, was a water-attribute defensive spiritual treasure of relatively low quality, inferior to the "Pre-Heavenly One Qi Band", and utterly useless to Kunpeng.
In the hundred years of Honghuang, Kunpeng brought infinite variables to Honghuang, and most of the heavenly spiritual roots were swept away by him. Many people hated what he did with gritted teeth, but due to their lack of power compared to Kunpeng, they could only hold back their anger and eventually had to rely on the Heavenly Court or surrender to the Witch Clan. This result made Emperor Jun and the Twelve Ancestors of the Witch Clan extremely happy.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, Kunpeng pondered and finally decided to hide in the Heavenly Court first. When he arrived at the Heavenly Court, Emperor Jun and Taiyi were very enthusiastic about him, which surprised Kunpeng a little. After careful inquiry, it turned out that his search for a hundred years on the vast land of Honghuang had led most of the demon cultivators to surrender to the Heavenly Court, greatly increasing the power of the demon tribe.
After meeting with Di Jun and Tai Yi, Kun Peng took over the Tai Yin star, claiming to be a demon master. The vast land of Honghuang was full of discussions about Di Jun's decision, and even among the demons, many were dissatisfied with Di Jun's decision, most of whom had their spiritual roots stolen by Kun Peng. The witch tribe was shocked by this decision, as the increased power of the demon tribe made them feel a sudden increase in pressure.
After Kunpeng entered the Taiyin star, he carefully observed the entire Taiyin star. The Sun Star gave birth to Emperor Jun and Taiyi, two people. Emperor Jun was born with the top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure "Hetu" and "Luoshu", while Donghuang Taiyi had the pre-heavenly treasure "Hundun Bell" to protect himself. Since Pangu opened up the sky, no living beings have been born from the Taiyin star, nor have any pre-heavenly spiritual treasures appeared. The Taiyin star and the Sun Star were transformed into Pangu's eyes, one as the sun and one as the moon. Kunpeng naturally wouldn't believe that this Taiyin star had nothing.
After a period of arduous effort, Kunpeng finally found an unborn Pre-Heavenly Treasure at the core of the Taiyin Star, under the laurel tree. All Pre-Heavenly Treasures are born from Chaos, and among them, the three treasures - Pangu Flag, Taiji Diagram, and Hunyuan Bell - were transformed from the Pangu Axe used by Pangu to open up the sky. The Qiankun Ding and the Hegemony God Gun were also born from Chaos. Although this Pre-Heavenly Treasure in the Taiyin Star has not yet taken shape, it is also a Pre-Heavenly Treasure nurtured after Pangu opened up the sky. This treasure has not been fully formed because of insufficient spiritual energy in the Post-Heavenly realm. To make it take shape, an enormous amount of spiritual energy is needed. The poverty of the Taiyin Star is precisely due to this unborn Pre-Heavenly Treasure.
Kunpeng saw this unformed pre-heavenly treasure, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and carefully put it into the Dinghai Divine Pearl to prevent accidents and being known by others.
After putting this congenital treasure into the Dinghai Divine Pearl, Kunpeng finally calmed down and carefully examined this unformed congenital treasure. The result of the examination made him surprised again. The congenital treasure nurtured by Taiyin Star is not an ordinary treasure, but a real killer. To nurture it into shape, not only a large amount of spiritual energy is needed, but also endless killing intent. If this treasure can be used to kill the three corpses, its power can rival the method of proving the Tao with force. How could he not be surprised by such a result?
After obtaining this congenital treasure, Kunpeng's originally calm heart was once again stirred up. Before this, he did not want to participate in the witch and demon struggle, although he knew that he would not die in this struggle and would obtain Emperor Jun's congenital spiritual treasures 'River Map' and 'Luo Book', but he also knew that it was precisely because of his participation in the witch and demon struggle that he had provoked endless karma, which would cause him to be constantly suppressed by saints, and thus never have the opportunity to attain enlightenment.
But now the situation is different, he was originally a penniless and poor demon master, but now he has countless congenital spiritual roots and several high-quality congenital spiritual treasures. He always wanted to take the path of beheading three corpses to become a saint, but ordinary congenital spiritual treasures can also behead corpses, but due to the limited quality of the congenital spiritual treasure, after beheading three corpses, his magical powers cannot be upgraded again, making it difficult for him to compete with other saints.
All along, Kun Peng had planned to use the twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls to sever his own self, and the twelve grades of Xuan Water Black Lotus to sever the good corpses. However, the most powerful evil corpse among the three corpses never had an ideal innate spiritual treasure. The Northern Xuan Yuan's Kontrol Water Flag was also a rare innate spiritual treasure, but its attack power was not high in itself, and using it to sever the evil corpse would restrict the evil corpse's ability. Now that he has obtained this killing instrument, the innate ultimate treasure, it is just right to use it to sacrifice the evil thoughts.
Kunpeng wants to use this killing tool to behead the evil corpse, so he must transform this congenital treasure into shape as soon as possible. The endless killing intent is not easily obtained, so he must make early arrangements and participate in the upcoming witch demon struggle. And get that endless killing intent from it, transform this congenital treasure into shape, and try to avoid causing too much karma, affecting his own future path to sainthood.
