Chapter 176 The Innate Spiritual Treasure Fish Drum (Please Subscribe)

"Innate beings!" The Antarctic Immortal stared at the things revealed by the innate Yin and Yang energies, examining them closely, and becoming more and more astonished the more he looked.

When he first obtained the innate Yin and Yang energy, the Antarctic Immortal did not think much of it, only feeling that he had a great opportunity.

It wasn't until Li Xuanyang unleashed his innate Yin-Yang energy, revealing the things contained within, that the Antarctic Immortal noticed something amiss.

This is not some innate yin and yang energy; it is clearly an innate being that has not yet taken form.

“Born from the innate Yin and Yang energies, could it be an innate god or demon?” The old man of the South Pole’s expression changed drastically, and even the Three Absolutes Daoist was somewhat moved.

Despite their advanced cultivation as Great Luo Golden Immortals and their innate origins as primordial beings, they cannot be considered among the innate gods and demons.

Innate gods and demons are born from heaven and earth. Once they take form, they comprehend the innate laws, are protected by innate divine light, enter the Taiyi number, and possess the cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The most outstanding among them possess both innate spiritual treasures and the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal upon taking human form.

Most innate beings are born from innate laws and need to condense a breath of innate energy within their bodies to communicate with heaven and earth, comprehend the laws, and thus understand a trace of the power of the laws, clarify their own path, and only then can they form auspicious clouds and enter the Taiyi number.

To put it simply, both are born innately, but when innate gods and demons take human form, they are at least at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, while when innate living beings take human form, they are all below the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

The creature before them, which had not yet taken form, was undoubtedly a primordial god or demon, born from primordial yin and yang energies, and its origins were extraordinary.

"Antarctic Immortal!" Tianjue Daoist suddenly sneered at the Antarctic Immortal, "Now what do you have to say?"

"Or were you planning to use this innate divine demon to forge a Dao-attaining artifact?"

Upon hearing Tianjue Daoist's words, the Antarctic Immortal remained unmoved and retorted, "This humble Daoist would certainly not do such a thing."

"I'm afraid you all have no good intentions, but rather want to seize opportunities, or even companion spiritual treasures!"

They had previously claimed it was out of good intentions, but the Antarctic Immortal naturally didn't believe it. Whether it was the innate Yin and Yang energy, the innate gods and demons that had not yet taken form, or even the legendary companion spirit treasures, all of them were first-rate opportunities.

The Antarctic Immortal refused to believe that the Three Absolutes Daoists would let him go so easily!

"Antarctic Immortal!" Tianjue Daoist's face flashed with panic as the Antarctic Immortal saw through their plans. He quickly bowed to Li Xuanyang and began to explain.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense, Master. We do have the intention of coveting the companion spiritual treasure, but we have absolutely no intention of harming the life of this innate god or demon.”

"If the companion spirit treasure is lost, the source will definitely be damaged. Even if this innate god-demon can take human form in the future, I'm afraid it will not be able to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm." The Antarctic Immortal immediately realized the Three Absolutes Daoist's intention, which was quite ruthless. Not only could he obtain the companion spirit treasure, but he also did not harm his life, and he was not afraid of causing trouble and karma in the future.

Even if the news were to spread, they would only say that this person's innate divine and demonic opportunities and fortune were insufficient, and that this was simply fate.

"Please, Master, judge for yourself!" Knowing that too much talk would lead to mistakes, Daoist Tianjue simply ignored the Antarctic Immortal and looked respectfully at Li Xuanyang, secretly worried.

He couldn't help but feel a deep resentment towards the Old Man of the South Pole.

"Who told you that?" Li Xuanyang looked at the group with amusement and said, "This being is a primordial god-demon, and may even possess a companion spiritual treasure!"

As for the good intentions and the desire to seize opportunities mentioned by the others, Li Xuanyang did not care. In the prehistoric world, the strong have always been respected, and the scramble for opportunities is very common.

"Not a primordial god or demon!" The Antarctic Immortal was taken aback, but clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

"No accompanying spiritual treasure!" The expressions of Tianjue Daoren, Dijue Daoren, and Renjue Daoren changed drastically, and a hint of disappointment was faintly revealed.

“This being was born from the innate Yin and Yang energies, how could it not be an innate god or demon, without any accompanying spiritual treasure?” the Daoist of Human Extinction said, utterly distraught.

“Even innate gods and demons don’t necessarily have accompanying spiritual treasures to protect them.” Li Xuanyang shook his head, and couldn’t help but think of Hongyun. Although he was an innate god and demon, he did not have an accompanying spiritual treasure. In fact, most innate gods and demons were like this.

Those innate gods and demons who possess symbiotic spiritual treasures and manifest in human form are ultimately only a minority.

"So, this being is a primordial being?" The Antarctic Immortal asked Li Xuanyang, a thought stirring in his mind.

Since they are not innate gods or demons, they can only be innate beings.

However, Li Xuanyang's words surprised them: "This being is both born with innate attributes and not born with innate attributes!"

"Could it be a demon?" With a hint of disappointment, Daoist Dijue looked at the creature in the innate Yin-Yang energy, only to find it filled with innate spiritual light and without a trace of demonic energy.

“Neither a demon nor a monster!” Li Xuanyang smiled and shook his head, then reached out and released a wisp of his primordial spirit power, which fell into the egg and revealed its original form: an oval egg with black and white colors.

Besides being full of vitality, it also faintly contains a unique divine light, as if it were an innate bloodline inheritance.

“Bloodline inheritance!” The Antarctic Immortal and the Three Absolutes Daoist looked at each other in dismay, a hint of panic gradually appearing on their faces. Could it be a descendant born from a Quasi-Saint Great Divine Power?

"The three-legged golden crow born from the Heavenly Emperor Dijun and Heavenly Empress Xihe of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, although not a primordial god or demon, was protected by the true fire of the sun from birth, and its origins were even above those of many primordial beings." As Tianjue Daoist spoke, he felt increasingly flustered. Fortunately, he and the others did not actually do anything, but the karma between the Antarctic Immortal and him was quite significant.

Thinking of this, Daoist Tianjue felt much more at ease. Instead, he looked at the Antarctic Immortal with a strange expression, somewhat gloating.

"A descendant of a quasi-saint and great supernatural being?" An Antarctic Immortal's eyes revealed a strange light, somewhat incredulous. However, with his current level of cultivation, although he could not be considered knowledgeable, he could still recognize all living beings in the universe.

However, the bloodline inheritance contained in this creature, as well as its innate spiritual light, were unprecedented, and only a trace of the innate Yin-Yang law power could be detected.

Could it be that, as Tianjue Daoren said, this is indeed a descendant of a Quasi-Saint Great Supernatural Being?

"Hehe, you are right." Li Xuanyang nodded with a smile and said, "This innate being does have some background. Not only did it inherit its mother's bloodline, but it was also nurtured by a primordial yin and yang energy. It can be transformed into a divine light of destiny to protect itself from birth. It can be said to have extraordinary opportunities."

Even with Li Xuanyang's wealth, aside from the innate Yin-Yang Qi he had obtained before, this was the first time he had encountered innate Yin-Yang Qi, which shows how precious this thing was.

In the future, one can fully comprehend the innate Yin-Yang laws based on this innate Yin-Yang energy, and even use it to forge a Dao-enhancing artifact, making it an excellent innate spiritual material.

"Speaking of which, this innate being can be considered to have a connection with me!" Li Xuanyang suddenly changed his tone, startling the Antarctic Immortal and the Three Absolutes Daoist, who both showed panicked expressions, wondering what relationship this innate being had with Li Xuanyang.

"Its true form is the first Roc in the world, and its mother is the Phoenix, one of the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin." Li Xuanyang had already recognized the origin of the Roc when he saw the innate yin and yang energy.

Just like Kong Xuan, he was a descendant of the phoenix and the crown prince of the phoenix clan.

However, the great calamity of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans back then caused the death of countless primordial beings, creating numerous karmic consequences. Although the Phoenix was eternally imprisoned in the Undying Volcano as repayment, the karmic consequences were not completely eliminated and fell upon future generations.

If it weren't for the protection of Li Xuanyang and the fortune and merit of the human race over the years, Kong Xuan would have gone through countless calamities.

"The Son of the Phoenix!" The Antarctic Immortal was shocked and became even more terrified. Although the Phoenix Clan had long since declined and was no longer the overlord of the prehistoric world, there were still powerful beings in the clan.

Moreover, the Antarctic Immortal has been cultivating on Penglai Immortal Island for tens of thousands of years, so he has naturally heard about Kong Xuan's background. He is the son of the Phoenix, and his body is filled with the innate five elements and five colors of divine light, making him the most outstanding second-generation disciple of the Xuanmen.

"The innate Yin and Yang energies!"

"The Five Elements and Five Colors Divine Light of the Primordial Chaos!"

"This phoenix has such great ambition, worthy of being one of the overlords of the primordial world in the past. It actually wants to cultivate the innate Yin-Yang divine light to protect itself, just like Daoist Kong Xuan!" Daoist Tianjue also thought of Kong Xuan, and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

Before even taking human form, he had already received such an opportunity, which surpasses that of countless innate beings, not to mention that he also has Daoist Kong Xuan as his support.

Daoist Tianjue looked at the Antarctic Immortal with a half-smile, "Fellow Daoist, you have great skill, daring to use the son of the phoenix as a primordial spiritual material to forge a Dao artifact!"

Although Tianjue Daoren did not mention Kong Xuan, how could the Antarctic Immortal not hear the gloating in his words?

"What should we do? That Daoist Kong Xuan is not someone to be trifled with. Over the years, he has killed countless evil cultivators, including many who were Great Luo Golden Immortals."

The Antarctic Immortal looked distressed and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Li Xuanyang. He said in a trembling voice, "Master, this disciple truly knows nothing of the origins of this roc..."

"It's alright!" Li Xuanyang lightly waved his sleeve, lifting up the Antarctic Immortal. He didn't make things too difficult for him, only a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Kong Xuan and Da Peng are both sons of the phoenix. The former possesses the innate five elements of energy, which he refined into five feathers, transforming them into the innate five-colored divine light of the five elements. It can sweep away and collect anything, making it a first-class innate divine light in the primordial world. In later generations, it was even hailed as one of the strongest quasi-saints and great supernatural beings below the level of a saint, comparable to Zhen Yuanzi, Kunpeng, and Styx Daoist.

The Roc, also a son of the Phoenix, possessed innate Yin and Yang energy. Not only had it not yet taken human form, but in later generations, it was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivator. It even refined a wisp of innate Yin and Yang energy into a Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle, transforming it into a spiritual treasure. Ultimately, Sun Wukong plucked three life-saving hairs from the back of his head, which transformed into a diamond drill, and used it to drill through the Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle, releasing the innate Yin and Yang energy.

Looking back now, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but find it quite amusing. A material capable of bearing innate Yin and Yang energy must be extraordinary; it couldn't be easily drilled through unless it was specifically made for the innate Yin and Yang energy.

"Leaving aside the future Golden-Winged Roc, the fact that it has not yet taken human form must have a reason." Li Xuanyang couldn't help but think of the preciousness of the innate Yin-Yang Qi, which was even higher than the innate Five Elements Qi. Moreover, it also possessed the same Phoenix bloodline inheritance and was conceived at almost the same time.

Even if they didn't transform at the same time, there shouldn't be such a long time difference.

Seeing that Li Xuanyang seemed to be deep in thought, the Antarctic Immortal, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt a sense of panic again.

"Do you remember where you obtained the innate Yin and Yang energy?" Li Xuanyang suddenly asked the Antarctic Immortal.

"Disciple remembers." The Antarctic Immortal dared not conceal anything and quickly told Li Xuanyang where he had obtained the innate Yin-Yang Qi, without hiding anything in the slightest.

“Alright, then I’ll accompany you on this journey.” Li Xuanyang nodded, waved his sleeve at the innate Yin-Yang energy in the air, and released a golden divine light, which gathered the energy back into a ball of light and stored it in his sleeve.

"Disciple will respectfully obey the True Man's decree!" The Antarctic Immortal bowed respectfully and agreed, but he didn't know why Li Xuanyang was like this. Could it be that there was some secret about the place where he obtained the innate Yin and Yang Qi?
Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Tianjue Daoren, Dijue Daoren, and Renjue Daoren were startled. Naturally, they did not want to get involved, so they quickly bowed to Li Xuanyang and said, "Master, if there is nothing else, we disciples would not dare to disturb your cultivation. We will take our leave now!"

Now that they haven't headed to the East Sea yet, the Three Absolutes Daoist thinks it's best to leave first, lest they discover any hidden matters and get caught up in trouble and karma for no reason.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanyang chuckled and looked at them, saying, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot. We can go together!" After saying that, Li Xuanyang didn't care whether they agreed or not. A golden light flashed beneath his feet, and he directly swept them into the clouds, flying towards the East Sea.

Looking at the three Daoist masters staring at each other, the Antarctic Immortal showed a rare smile, which made the three men glare at him angrily, but they dared not say anything.

Li Xuanyang ignored the changes in the expressions of the others, and instead revealed a smile, in which he held the Antarctic Immortal in high regard.

Its origins are very similar to those of Yun Zhongzi. It was formed at the beginning of the world, when it was imbued with a wisp of good fortune and fell into the Antarctic. After hundreds of millions of years, it finally took shape and became a blessed immortal, free from disasters and calamities.

This position is perfectly suited to the role of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, one of the Six Emperors of Heaven, who is in charge of the well-being and longevity of all living beings in the primordial world.

Even the Three Absolutes Taoist has extraordinary qualities.

Along the way, the golden clouds passed over the coast of the East China Sea, went straight into the East China Sea, and then went deeper into the East China Sea, gradually flying towards the place mentioned by the Antarctic Immortal.

Above the sea, a golden light flashed and disappeared, carrying a faint pressure that emanated from the sky. Wherever it passed, clouds and mist gathered, transforming into various strange phenomena.

After an unknown amount of time, the Antarctic Immortal suddenly spoke to Li Xuanyang, saying, "The True Man is right here!"

"Alright!" Li Xuanyang nodded lightly. The cloud beneath his feet stopped, and suddenly, auspicious wisps of energy shot into the sky from beneath the cloud, spreading out in mid-air.

This auspicious energy is full of vitality, and auspicious light arises from it, manifesting a wisp of merit, which appears in the colors of black and yellow.

"The power of merit and virtue!"

"I never imagined that there would be such an extraordinary spiritual island deep in the East Sea!" Li Xuanyang looked surprised and looked into the auspicious aura. He saw a spiritual island radiating light from within.

"What you may not know is that this place was originally just an ordinary spirit island. Until recently, for some unknown reason, it suddenly began to generate auspicious omens, and even golden light of merit began to emanate from it!"

"Disciple couldn't resist going to the island, hoping to find some opportunity." At this point, the Antarctic Immortal couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment. He did find an opportunity, but it was better not to have it, as he almost created karma with Phoenix and Kong Xuan.

"We disciples were also attracted here by the strange phenomena that have occurred here," Tianjue Daoist said.

"In that case, it's quite interesting!" Upon hearing their words, a golden light flashed in Li Xuanyang's eyes as he looked at the Spirit Island in detail. The next moment, he sensed a wisp of innate spiritual light suddenly emerging from the island, with an aura of soaring into the sky.

This caused everyone to sense a glimmer of opportunity, their faces showing a mixture of surprise and joy. Could it be that the phoenix had left behind some kind of opportunity?
"Have you all sensed any signs of impending opportunity?" Li Xuanyang withdrew his gaze, a smile on his face, and suddenly asked the group.

"Just as you said, disciple did indeed sense a glimmer of opportunity." The Antarctic Immortal showed a hint of confusion. Not much time had passed since his last visit to this place, so why was there a sudden glimmer of opportunity now?

Could it be that the arrival of True Man Xuanyang led to the interaction of their energies, which brought about this opportunity?

"Congratulations, Master!" The Antarctic Immortal couldn't help but congratulate Li Xuanyang, as did the Three Absolutes Daoists, all bowing to him.

However, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If they had known that there was an opportunity here, why did they chase after the Antarctic Immortal to seize the innate Yin and Yang Qi? In the end, they were encountered by Li Xuanyang and ended up in their current situation.

"Master, do you know what kind of opportunity this is?" Daoist Dijue couldn't help but ask Li Xuanyang out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the Antarctic Immortal, the Heavenly Absolute Daoist, and the Human Absolute Daoist all looked at Li Xuanyang, their curiosity evident.

Whether it is innate spiritual objects, innate energy, or even innate spiritual roots and innate spiritual treasures, all can generate opportunities to manifest.

Just like the last time the innate spiritual treasure, the Sun Wheel, appeared, it caused a great phenomenon that could be perceived by a group of great supernatural beings even from hundreds of millions of miles away.

"It seems to be a primordial spiritual treasure!" Li Xuanyang said, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"It's actually a Primordial Spiritual Treasure!" The group was all dumbfounded and incredulous as they looked down at the Spiritual Island.

Despite being cultivators at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, renowned figures on Penglai Immortal Island, and even worthy of being called "Great Supernatural Powers," they had never obtained a single innate spiritual treasure.

Not to mention these few independent cultivators from overseas, not all disciples of the Chan and Jie sects and the Western sect have innate spiritual treasures to protect them.

This shows how rare and precious innate spiritual treasures are.

This is especially true for those like the Antarctic Immortal and the Three Absolutes Daoist, who have not yet forged their own magical artifacts for achieving enlightenment.

"Is this a primordial spiritual treasure left behind by the phoenix?" The Antarctic Immortal couldn't help but ask Li Xuanyang.

"Whether it is or not, we will know soon enough." Li Xuanyang closed his eyes slightly and began to sense the situation in detail with his primordial spirit and divine sense.

A moment later, Li Xuanyang suddenly opened his eyes, two golden beams of light surging forth as he looked towards a spot on the Spirit Island. A half-smile appeared on his lips as he said, "It is this thing!"

"Will you come down with me, or stay here?" Li Xuanyang didn't say what kind of innate spiritual treasure it was, but instead asked the group.

"Disciples will naturally accompany you, Master!" The group of people looked delighted and spoke to Li Xuanyang in unison, wanting to go together. No matter what, they could witness the birth of a primordial spiritual treasure and broaden their horizons.

"That's fine too!" Li Xuanyang nodded, and a golden cloud flashed beneath his feet as he landed on the island, where a very ordinary mountain appeared before him.

Upon seeing the familiar scenery before him, the Antarctic Immortal was startled and exclaimed, "Disciple, it was right here that I obtained the innate Yin and Yang energy!"

"I see!" Li Xuanyang nodded, then turned to the others and said, "Each of you should summon your divine light to protect yourselves!"

The next moment, without any explanation, Li Xuanyang's innate Xuanyang divine light soared into the sky, spreading across the sky above the spirit island, shattering the clouds and mist, and dissipating the auspicious energy.

In an instant, the entire Spirit Island was enveloped, leaving the group dumbfounded. They felt waves of supreme pressure coming from the island and hurriedly summoned their divine light to protect themselves. With puzzled expressions, they looked at Li Xuanyang.

At this moment, the innate Xuan Yang divine light in the sky fell down and spread into the mountain. The next moment, a burst of light suddenly appeared in the mountain, seemingly blocking Li Xuan Yang's innate Xuan Yang divine light, and the innate aura overflowed.

"An innate formation!" The group blurted out instinctively, a hint of relief on their faces. Luckily, the Antarctic Immortal hadn't activated the formation, otherwise it would have been troublesome, and they might have perished within it if they hadn't been careful.

"Open!" Li Xuanyang's expression remained unchanged, as if he had known about this all along. He simply pointed his finger at the innate Xuanyang divine light, which broke through the barrier of the innate formation and entered it, sweeping outwards.

In a short while, it swept the two beams of innate spiritual light into the air, gradually transforming them into two innate objects.

One is a long bamboo tube, about four feet long, and is emerald green in color; the other is a long bamboo slip, about two feet long and about half an inch wide, which also has an emerald green sheen.

"Two innate spiritual treasures!" the group exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that there were two innate spiritual treasures, not just one.

“It’s not two, but one.” Li Xuanyang reached out and took it into his palm. “This item is called the Fishing Drum. It can barely be considered a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, and its power is quite extraordinary.”

As he spoke, Li Xuanyang turned to the center of the Spirit Island and asked calmly, "May I ask if what I said is correct, fellow Daoist?"
