Chapter 1 Kunlun Immortal Mountain, the Auspicious Beast Pixiu
Wild world.
"Isn't it said that in the primordial world, Kunlun is the ancestral vein of all mountains? Why can't we encounter even a single opportunity?"
A beast is roaming among the vast, immortal mountains.
This beast has a dragon's head, a lion's body, tiger's claws, and deer antlers. It has wings on its back, a very large belly, and a mouth but no anus.
It looks incredibly imposing, yet it also exudes an indescribable air of wealth and nobility.
If there were a primordial deity present at this moment, he could see through his origins with just one glance.
This is the auspicious beast of heaven and earth, the Pixiu.
His name was Tianlu.
In fact, he was a time traveler from the future.
The name Tianlu was not his original name in his previous life, but rather the name bestowed upon him by the rules of the primordial world.
However, the name Tianlu is very similar to his name in his previous life.
His name in his previous life was Tianlu.
Since Heaven and Earth bestowed upon him the name Tianlu, then he is Tianlu.
Since the pronunciation hasn't changed and the name is the same, it saves the trouble of changing the name.
Since the great god Pangu wielded his axe to cleave the chaos, establish the earth, water, fire, and wind, and create the primordial world, this world has undergone countless vicissitudes over the years.
During the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, the Beast Emperor Shenni led ferocious beasts formed from the resentment of the Chaos Demon Gods to wreak havoc on the prehistoric world, but was eventually annihilated by the combined forces of all races.
During the initial calamity of the Dragon-Han era, the three races of Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and First Qilin vied for supremacy, shattering the entire prehistoric world. Ultimately, the three races were forced into seclusion, burdened by karmic debts.
After that, there was a great battle between the Dao and the Demons.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou engaged in an earth-shattering battle at Mount Sumeru in the west. The Zhuxian Sword Formation was shattered, Luohou died and his Dao dissipated, and Hongjun was about to become a saint.
The primordial world is currently in a period of recuperation and development following the great war between the Dao and the Demons.
The western lands were barren due to Rahu's self-destruction of his spiritual veins, while the eastern lands were rich in spiritual energy, and all things flourished.
And the sacred mountain at the foot of Tianlu is the core of the Eastern land, the ancestral vein of all mountains—Kunlun Sacred Mountain.
Tianlu has been here for nearly 100,000 years.
He knew the cruelty of the primordial world, where powerful beings were everywhere, Golden Immortals were less than dogs, and Taiyi were everywhere.
To survive the future Lich Wars and Godhood Wars, one must possess immense strength and profound resources.
As a mythical auspicious beast of heaven and earth, the Pixiu, Tianlu was born knowing its origins and innate supernatural powers.
According to the inherited memory, his own blessings and opportunities should far surpass those of all living beings in the primordial world.
However, Tianlu wandered through the vast and boundless Kunlun Immortal Mountain for tens of thousands of years, searching all over the mountains and fields, but he did not even see a trace of a primordial spiritual root or a primordial spiritual treasure.
As he walked, Tianlu stopped, opened his large mouth (which had a mouth but no anus), and spat it out.
He exhaled a cloud radiating a hazy, precious light.
He leaped up and comfortably settled on the cloud.
Upon closer inspection, this cloud contained dozens of innate restrictions, radiating pure, innate, and indestructible spiritual light.
This was clearly a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.
However, this mid-grade innate spiritual treasure was not an opportunity that Tianlu found in Kunlun Mountain.
This was just something he had done a few days ago when he was bored. He casually grabbed a wisp of ordinary Nine Heavens Pure Qi on the summit of Kunlun Mountain and used his own magic power to condense it into a second-rate acquired magic weapon.
He then used his innate supernatural powers as a Pixiu.
Tianlu has not yet personally witnessed or experienced the fact that his good fortune and opportunities far surpass those of others.
However, he truly experienced and mastered the other extraordinary abilities of the Pixiu.
Firstly, their so-called opportunities and good fortune far surpass those of others.
Although it has not yet manifested, the inheritance of heaven and earth will never go wrong.
Secondly, he can swallow any magical treasure, spiritual treasure, or spiritual root.
His large belly, which had a mouth but no anus, formed a strange space of its own, filled with the mysteries of creation.
Once an item is swallowed, it can undergo a period of settling and gestation, triggering a qualitative change in the laws of nature.
Acquired items can reverse the innate, be imbued with the innate undying spiritual light, and be promoted to innate spiritual treasures.
As for innate spiritual treasures, if they are left to settle in the abdomen for a long enough time, their original grade can even be improved.
The same principle applies to spiritual roots.
Ordinary acquired spiritual roots, once swallowed, will transform into innate spiritual roots after a period of time.
The cloud beneath Tianlu was the result of his use of this supernatural power to transform an acquired magic weapon into a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.
If those innate deities who fight tooth and nail for a low-grade innate spiritual treasure knew about this ability to defy the laws of nature and disregard the rules of creation, they would probably be so jealous that their Dao hearts would collapse.
Thirdly, he is able to control the world's fortune and has the authority to bestow blessings and prosperity.
In the primordial world, fortune is a supreme existence.
Those blessed with good fortune will find magical treasures when they go out, turn bad luck into good, and make rapid progress in their cultivation without any bottlenecks.
Those whose luck is waning will find even drinking cold water difficult, suffer unexpected calamities, and may even go astray in their cultivation, leading to their death and the dissipation of their spiritual essence.
Tianlu had personally tested this supernatural power.
That was shortly after the Dragon-Han Calamity had just ended.
While wandering along the shores of the East China Sea, Tianlu happened to encounter two true dragons at the early stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and a black Qilin at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.
Although the three races had declined at that time, their remaining power was still strong, and the two true dragons were bullying the black Qilin by relying on their cultivation.
On a whim, Tianlu hid in the shadows and activated his supernatural power to control destiny.
With his supreme authority, he stirred up the mysterious river of destiny.
He forcibly stripped the dragon clan's fortune and personal fortune from the two true dragons, and then, as if by bestowing a blessing, poured them all onto the black Qilin.
The results were immediate.
The black Qilin, which had been beaten to the point of near death, experienced a sudden reversion of its ancestral bloodline under the blessing of immense fortune.
The bottleneck in his cultivation, which had been stagnant for many years, was suddenly shattered. He was immediately infused with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, directly crossing the chasm between Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal. Even the three flowers on his head directly condensed into two.
In contrast, the two true dragons, after their luck was stripped away, were instantly struck by misfortune.
Two bolts of purple lightning struck down from the clear sky without warning, directly shattering the bodies of the two true dragons.
Moreover, just as the two true dragons' primordial spirits were fleeing in terror from their shattered bodies, attempting to use the Blood Escape Technique to return to the Four Seas, the surrounding space suddenly began to distort strangely.
An extremely rare void rift suddenly opened up on their escape route without warning.
It directly swept these two Taiyi Golden Immortal level primordial spirits into the violent spatial turbulence, instantly annihilating them until their souls were scattered and even their true spirits could not escape, returning to nothingness completely.
The two dragons suffered one misfortune after another, dying without leaving a trace.
This is the terrifying consequence of having one's luck completely stripped away.
In the primordial world, fortune is the foundation of all existence. Without the protection of fortune, all things in heaven and earth will reject you. It is common to get a toothache from drinking cold water or encounter heavenly tribulations while walking.
