Primordial Era: I, the auspicious beast Pixiu, am the darling of the Great Dao.

Tianlu felt quite helpless about Tiandao's shameless methods.

After all, the Heavenly Dao is the master of the rules of operation. If it is determined to hide something, it is really impossible to dig it out in a short time.

After thinking about it, I decided to just let it go if I couldn't find it myself.

It just so happens that I have been wandering in the prehistoric world for so many years without even a proper place to settle down and establish my own place of practice. Shouldn't I find a place with good feng shui in Buzhou Mountain and establish my own place of practice?

But Tianlu is someone who never suffers a loss.

Since Heaven dares to trip him up in the dark, then don't blame him for overturning the table.

A flash of inspiration struck Tianlu, and he thought of the future trends of the prehistoric world.

In the future primordial world, after several great calamities, heaven and earth were shattered, and only one-tenth of the innate spiritual energy remained, while acquired spiritual energy and turbid energy ran rampant.

At that time, let alone innate spiritual roots, even the ordinary spiritual herbs that are now ubiquitous on the land of Buzhou Mountain and are imbued with innate spiritual energy will be rare items that countless cultivators will fight tooth and nail for in later generations.

Although I may not lack these flowers and plants now, I absolutely cannot live without them.

If Heaven is unjust, then don't blame it for being unjust.

As the saying goes, "If a goose flies by, it will pluck its feathers; if it flies by, not a blade of grass will grow."

Since the great opportunity was hidden, he packed up everything that was on display at Mount Buzhou and took it with him.

Subsequently, Tianlu officially began his unjust actions at Buzhou Mountain.

He transformed into a colossal, sky-covering phantom, rampaging through the Buzhou Mountains.

Wherever he went, he opened his gaping maw that seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and earth, unleashing the full power of his innate divine ability—the strange space within his abdomen—combined with the mighty power of the Devouring Law and the Law of Space, forming terrifying black hole vortexes.

The spiritual herbs on the ground? Uproot them completely!

Towering ancient trees? And the surrounding spiritual soil was all uprooted.

In short, any rare and precious natural treasures within his sight were mercilessly swallowed into his vast and boundless belly space.

Within his abdominal space, the laws of creation and the laws of devouring intertwined, as ordinary spiritual herbs and roots were swallowed.

Under the crushing force of spatial power and the nourishment of the energy of creation, a miraculous transformation begins to occur, reversing the innate from the acquired and continuously improving its own grade.

At this moment, Tianlu, the Pixiu that should have brought good fortune to the world, has completely transformed into the largest locust in the primordial world.

The place he passed through was desolate, barren of everything, with not a blade of grass left, and even the ground had been scraped away three feet.

Although it is said that after a long period of time, the underground spiritual veins will rely on the self-repairing ability of the primordial world to once again give rise to the vitality of the earth.

But now, in this Buzhou Mountain Range that has been ravaged by Tianlu, where is there any trace of the immortal spirit of the first divine mountain in the primordial world?

They were clearly just a series of pitted, barren mountains!

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. Tianlu has been frantically cutting grass, trees, and spiritual roots in the Buzhou Mountains for a full century.

Over the past century, his internal space has accumulated mountains and seas of various resources. Although the quality is not high, the quantity is enormous. After being purified by the laws of creation, it is still an extremely astonishing fortune.

However, his banditry eventually angered the creatures who had settled and cultivated in the Buzhou Mountain range.

Many Taiyi Golden Immortals who had established their Daoist temples in this mountain range watched helplessly as Tianlu brazenly and recklessly destroyed the surrounding environment.

In particular, when this reckless Pixiu actually ran to the entrance of their temple and, right in front of them, wantonly plundered those things that were not important for cultivation.

But since these spiritual roots were merely decorative and ornamental, the Taiyi Golden Immortals were instantly enraged.

Finally, a powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal with a fiery temper could no longer tolerate it.

He roared, his magical power surging, and he summoned a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, which transformed into a dazzling divine light and blasted fiercely towards Tianlu, who was munching on a piece of spiritual bamboo.

Faced with this fierce attack, Tianlu didn't even raise his head.

He merely snorted disdainfully, and his thick, whip-like tail lashed out.

On Tianlu's tail, a vast amount of magical power at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal instantly gathered, with the laws of space and power perfectly fused together.

Transforming into a terrifying afterimage barely perceptible to the naked eye, it not only effortlessly shattered the divine light, but also launched a devastating counterattack with an even more powerful blow.

A loud bang.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal who made the move didn't even have time to scream before being sent flying backward by this terrifying force.

His protective divine light shattered with a deafening roar, and he coughed up blood, smashing through several mountain peaks. He was severely injured and on the verge of death.

The other Taiyi Golden Immortals who had originally intended to attack him en masse gasped in shock upon seeing this scene, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

As the saying goes, those who understand the times are the heroes.

Faced with a Grand Luo Golden Immortal who could manipulate them at will, these Taiyi Golden Immortals instantly suppressed all their anger and arrogance.

They kept the temple gates tightly shut, activated the protective array, and pretended to be deaf and dumb, tacitly accepting Tianlu's bandit-like behavior of stealing feathers from a passing goose at their doorstep.

However, deep within their secluded temples, these powerful beings were all furiously denouncing Tianlu in their hearts.

What exactly is this thing?

Isn't the Pixiu a mythical creature believed to bring wealth and good fortune?

This is hardly a mythical beast.

It is clearly a peerless ferocious beast that has emerged from chaos in the world.

They left nothing behind, not even a clod of earth imbued with spiritual energy, nothing at all—they were nothing short of robbers!

Despite cursing him in their hearts, no one dared to provoke Tianlu again.

As time went by, Tianlu's deeds in the Buzhou Mountains were passed down by word of mouth among all living beings and quickly spread.

Within the Buzhou Mountain range lies a sacred mountain, blessed with natural beauty and shrouded in ethereal mist, known as Phoenix Perch Mountain.

At the summit of Phoenix Perch Mountain, two figures exuding vast Daoist wisdom sat facing each other.

The two also heard about Tianlu's extensive looting in the Buzhou Mountains.

Especially when they heard the news that the Pixiu had severely injured a Taiyi Golden Immortal with just a flick of its tail, both of them showed great interest.

The two then exchanged a glance and made a decision simultaneously.

Go and see this Tianlu that has caused such a stir in the prehistoric world.

However, both of them shared a common question.

In this period when the great calamity of the Dragon and Han dynasties had just ended and the remaining power of the three races still existed, Mount Buzhou, though vast, was still a significant place.

However, a large part of the area was once the territory of the Qilin clan, the king of the beast race.

Although the Qilin clan has declined and retreated into the primordial wilderness, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse, and the remnants of the Qilin clan's power and spies still remain on this land.

Why does Tianlu dare to be so arrogant and domineering in the former territory of the Qilin clan?

Even if his true form is a Pixiu, he can still be considered a member of the beast race, but he can't act so arrogantly and without leaving any room for maneuver, can he?

This is a slap in the face to all native creatures.

The man in the black Taoist robe stood up, looked at the barren mountain range in the distance, and spoke softly.

"Sister, although this Pixiu acts as crudely as a bandit, its strength should not be underestimated. It severely injured Taiyi with a single blow, so it must be at least a Daluo Golden Immortal."

"He dares to act like this in the old territory of the Qilin clan; he must have something to rely on. Why don't we go and meet him?"

The woman, draped in a seven-colored robe, nodded slightly, a gentle smile on her face, and responded softly.

"What you say is absolutely right, brother. That's exactly what I was thinking too."

"Since the war between the three races, no Great Luo Golden Immortal has roamed Mount Buzhou. This Pixiu may have come from outside Mount Buzhou. Perhaps we can learn about the current situation of the world from it?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two transformed into streams of light, one yin and one yang, and fled towards Tianlu's location.
