My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

The fire element origin of the Earth Core Flaming Sun Fruit resonated with the fire element energy that was already fully formed in his chest.

Fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood, and wood generates fire.

The five elements in his chest circulated wildly at an unprecedented speed. With each rotation, his magical power became more refined, and his blood and qi became more vigorous.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique accelerated its operation on its own, and the fourth stage of the barrier was on the verge of collapse under the impact of this powerful primal force.

Meng Chuan became engrossed in cultivation, unaware of the passage of time.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe ten days, maybe a month.

The Earth Core Flaming Sun Fruit completely vanished into nothingness, and all its origins were devoured and refined.

Within his dantian, the five-colored vortex had expanded to its limit, and as it spun, the sounds of wind, thunder, earth, and fire could be faintly heard.

next moment--

Click!

A soft sound, like the shattering of glass, came from the depths of my soul.

The fourth stage of the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique has been broken!

The five elements in his chest exploded with a roar, then instantly reformed, transforming into a more condensed, pure, and faintly radiant cloud of five-colored light.

At the center of the energy cluster, a mysterious seed of Dao quietly condensed.

Breakthrough!

And it's not just a minor realm—it's a leap across an entire major realm!

Meng Chuan opened his eyes, and a five-colored light flashed in his eyes. His aura erupted like a volcano, rising steadily and instantly breaking through the limit of True Immortal and stepping into a new level.

Early stage of Xuanxian!

He clenched his fist, feeling the immense power surging within him, far exceeding anything he had ever experienced before.

The magic power underwent a qualitative change, subtly resonating with the laws of heaven and earth during its operation.

His physical strength surged, and five-colored patterns faintly flowed beneath his pale golden skin.

The range of his divine sense expanded several times over, becoming increasingly refined and acute.

"With my current cultivation level at the early stage of the Profound Immortal realm, my physical body at the fourth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, combined with the Primordial Golden Cauldron, the Universe Ruler, and the Golden Dragon Scissors..."

A glint of light flashed in Meng Chuan's eyes!

"Even an ordinary Golden Immortal, without a primordial spiritual treasure, would be easy for me to kill!"

Just as his heart was surging with emotion—

"roar--!!"

A violent, greedy, and bloodthirsty roar suddenly came from above the molten lake, causing the lava in the lake to churn violently!

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying demonic aura descended, locking onto his location.

Peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm!

This great demon exudes a fierce and violent aura, clearly an ancient demon that has cultivated for countless years deep in the Southern Wilderness!

"You little insect, how dare you infiltrate my territory, steal my spiritual fruits, and even dare to break through to a higher realm here? Fine, fine! I'll devour you to replenish my vital energy and help me embark on the path to becoming a Golden Immortal!"

The hoarse, shrill voice pierced through the lava and went straight to the eardrums.

Meng Chuan looked up.

Through the dark lava, a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen hovering and swimming above the molten lake...

Resembling a giant python, with a single horn on its head, its entire body covered in reddish-black scales, it was over a hundred feet long. Its demonic aura stirred up the lava, causing the volcano to roar.

This is a demonic python at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, clearly attracted by the aura and lingering fragrance of spiritual fruits from Meng Chuan's breakthrough.

In its eyes, Meng Chuan, who had just broken through to the early stage of Xuanxian, was a great tonic!

"I will annihilate your soul and annihilate your spirit!"

The demonic python roared, its single horn glowing with a dark red light, and a thick beam of fiery poison slammed into the molten lake, heading straight for Meng Chuan!

Wherever it passed, the magma was corroded, emitting pungent black smoke, its power terrifying!

Meng Chuan remained calm until the poisonous light reached three zhang above his head before slowly raising his right hand.

A faint crimson-gold light shimmered between his brows.

The Golden Dragon Scissors silently appeared, hovering in the palm of the hand, their dark gold blades shimmering with a cold, bloody light.

"cut."

Meng Chuan uttered a single word.

The Golden Dragon Scissors gave a slight tremor.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling brilliance.

Only two intersecting, hair-thin, crimson-gold threads extended from the scissors and disappeared into the void.

next moment--

Boom!

A hundred feet above, the terrifying fiery poisonous light, along with the large expanse of magma behind it, was as if it had been cut cleanly in two by an invisible giant shears, the cuts as smooth as mirrors, before silently vanishing.

The serpent's roar abruptly ceased.

Its hundred-foot-long body froze in mid-air, a straight, slender red line appearing from its head to its tail.

The red line expanded rapidly, and blood gushed out like a waterfall!

"impossible……"

The giant vertical pupils of the serpent still held a mixture of horror and bewilderment.

It didn't even see how the other party made their move, nor did it feel any fluctuations in magical power—just two thin golden lines flashed by, and its demonic body, which it had cultivated for thousands of years, its scales comparable to a post-natal spiritual treasure, along with its protective demonic essence and divine soul defense, were all severed in one fell swoop!

It's not just the physical body that's being severed.

It is all its vitality, all its existence.

boom!

The hundred-foot-tall demonic body split in two, crashing into the molten lake and splashing up towering lava before being engulfed by the earth's core flames and burned to ashes.

A fist-sized, red and black demon core with a struggling phantom of a serpent on its surface rose from the ashes and was casually picked up by Meng Chuan.

A powerful demon at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, killed instantly with a single blow.

Meng Chuan glanced at the demon core in his palm, then looked at the golden dragon scissors that were hovering quietly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

The killing power of this treasure is truly terrifying!

He had only used a smattering of his power, yet it already possessed such might.

If it were completely refined and unleashed to its full potential, what a sight it would be!

He put away the demon core and the Golden Dragon Scissors together, then with a swift movement, he broke through the magma, soared into the sky, and flew out of the Burning Heaven Volcano.

The sunlight outside was blinding.

Meng Chuan stood atop the mountain, gazing eastward.

"The Golden Dragon Scissors are obtained, and the Mystic Immortal is achieved. Next..."

Information about another magical treasure surfaced in his mind.

Twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

A single one is just an ordinary innate spiritual treasure, but when twenty-four are gathered together, they can evolve into the Twenty-Four Heavens, forming their own world, integrating offense and defense, comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

It contains the true meaning of the Great Dao of Space.

There is also a rumor that there are a total of thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. If all of them could be collected, their power would be comparable to that of a supreme innate treasure, which surpasses even the highest-grade innate spiritual treasures!

The complete God-Slaying Spear is a supreme innate treasure.

"The twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls should be scattered in the uninhabited area of ​​the East China Sea seabed at this time, and are still unclaimed."

Meng Chuan had a sudden thought.

The East China Sea is vast, and its seabed is even more mysterious and fraught with danger.

The upcoming treasure hunt will undoubtedly be a "major undertaking".

But now that he has the ability to protect himself, he has nothing to fear.

"Starting from the Southern Wilderness, traversing half of the prehistoric world to the East Sea, the journey is long. But with my current Xuanxian cultivation level, coupled with the Qiankun Ruler for teleportation, I should be able to save a lot of time."

After muttering to himself, he looked towards Mount Buzhou, and a figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind—

Houtu.

A gentle smile involuntarily curved his lips.

I haven't seen her in so long... I wonder what she's doing now.

At this time, the conflict between the Dao and the Demons had ended. The Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were still living in seclusion on the Sun Star, and the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race had not yet been established... In my memory, the Heavenly Court was only established after Hongjun merged with the Dao and established the rule of the Demon Race over the heavens.

The overall situation in the primordial world has been initially stabilized, but undercurrents are already surging.

"We need to hurry. The lecture at Zixiao Palace is probably not far off."

Without further delay, he discerned the direction, channeled his Xuanxian magic power, and sent the Qiankun Ruler flying out from his dantian, its Xuanhuang Daoist aura permeating the air. With a gentle stroke, he made a sweeping motion.

The void in front of him was torn open like a curtain, revealing a bizarre and chaotic flow behind it.

Meng Chuan stepped inside and disappeared.

The fissure closed, and the volcano returned to silence.

Thick smoke continued to billow from the mountain pass, as if nothing had ever happened...
