Chapter 9: Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal!

"Could it be that a treasure has emerged in the central region?"

"In this period of the Wilderness, although it had experienced the Ferocious Beast Great Calamity, now the three primordial clans divide the world."

"Yet the entire Wilderness world remains a misty expanse, with myriad phenomena, and even more heaven-and-earth portents, treasure light frequently bursting forth."

"As a top-tier blessed land of the Wilderness, Gold Turtle Island being able to nurture spirit treasures is perfectly normal."

"Upon seeing that treasure light shooting up into the sky again,"

"he immediately concluded that a treasure must be gestating."

"Moreover, to display such a portent, it must certainly be a primordial spirit treasure."

"Without any hesitation, Duobao did not wander slowly but transformed into a gust of wind and rushed toward the location of that treasure light."

"【You travel by wind, personally experiencing the skill of flight; if you gain insight in your heart, you have comprehended one of the Wilderness's Four Great Escape Arts, Traversing Earth Golden Light!】"

"But what startled Duobao was that, as soon as he extended his form, many pieces of information flooded his mind."

"He had actually comprehended an incredibly powerful escape art! And upon achieving even a minor attainment in the Traversing Earth Golden Light ability, Duobao understood all the information about Traversing Earth Golden Light."

"In just a few breaths, he understood all the information about Traversing Earth Golden Light."

"Traversing Earth Golden Light—it can traverse ten thousand miles in an instant, far surpassing Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud, being stronger by more than just a little."

"When cultivated to a profound level, one can instantly cross hundreds of millions of miles; traveling the five lakes and four seas is no problem."

"However, he is currently only at the Golden Immortal level; an instant certainly won't reach hundreds of millions of miles, but tens of thousands of miles is still no problem."

"After obtaining the Traversing Earth Golden Light ability, Duobao directly deployed it."

"Boom! In just an instant, he turned into a blue streak, crossing a hundred thousand miles; with a flick, he crossed another hundred thousand miles, and so on, quickly becoming a point of light and vanishing."

"\"This damned primordial grand formation, how can it be so solid? I can't budge it at all! \"

"Boom—rumble! Crack!"

"Approaching the central region of Gold Turtle Island."

"A place where spiritual qi gathers, treasure light flickering, explosions booming."

"That is a rather expansive primordial grand formation, currently being wildly bombarded by a spirit treasure."

"Each strike of that spirit treasure is immensely powerful and heavy, with momentum weighing tens of thousands of jin."

"Controlling that spirit treasure is a young Daoist clad in a gray robe, his eyes blood-red, flashing with licentious light, his face full of gloomy color."

"His early Golden Immortal cultivation is fully evident."

"Yet this Daoist is now flustered and exasperated."

"No matter how he attacks the grand formation before him, he cannot move it even a bit."

"The gray-robed Daoist, his gloomy face full of anxious and uneasy color."

"\"Huh? \""

"Suddenly, the brow of the anxious, uneasy gray-robed person furrowed."

"Then, with a fierce expression, he turned to look toward a certain place behind him."

"\"Which fellow Daoist is spying on this humble one? Get out here! \"

"\"Tsk tsk, according to your bombardment method, even if you grind that spirit treasure to powder, you still can't open this grand formation—it's futile! \"

"Behind the gray-robed Daoist, a figure appeared out of thin air."

"He wore a black robe, hands clasped behind his back, calm and composed—indeed the Duobao Daoist who had come in pursuit of the treasure light."

"He had long since arrived here."

"He was astonished—how had that gray-robed Daoist arrived here?"

"On Gold Boil Island, only he and the Kui Ox are beyond doubt."

"Just then, his whereabouts were actually exposed."

"Duobao, who thought his concealment ability was superb, never expected this mysterious Daoist to be so adept."

"Nevertheless, he openly revealed his form."

"\"Who are you, and why have you appeared on Gold Boil Island? \""

"Duobao solemnly regarded himself as the master of Gold Turtle Island."

"His opening words were of a questioning tone."

"As an early Golden Immortal, he had nothing to fear."

"\"This humble one is Dingguang Daoist; fellow Daoist, could you not be the master of Gold Turtle Island? On what basis do you question this humble one? \""

"\"Dingguang? \""

"Duobao's brow furrowed, his eyes suddenly narrowing. As soon as the word 'Dingguang' left his mouth, Duobao instantly thought of a certain person."

"A key figure in the Fengshen Great Calamity."

"Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal!! \"Aren't you the very first rabbit between heaven and earth, Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal? \""

"\"Oh, you know this humble one? \""

"Faced with Duobao's words exposing his true nature, Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal felt greatly surprised."

"His Daoist monastery is extremely far from Gold Turtle Island."

"Indeed, he is not even a person of the East Sea."

"Several hundred years ago, he offended a certain force; that force's chieftain, a late Golden Immortal cultivator, destroyed his monastery, pursued him for countless hundreds of millions of miles, and he accidentally fell into Gold Boil Island."

"Only then did he manage to save his life."

"But since great misfortune does not die without later blessing! While in a daze, he actually encountered the emergence of a treasure here."

"That is why he rushed here first."

"At this moment, Duobao was utterly astonished."

"He actually encountered the renowned Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal."

This rabbit is not simple; like him, it is a primordial strange beast.

He possesses two innate divine abilities: the ability to listen to heavenly sounds and the evasion technique.

His heavenly sound listening ability is immensely powerful.

He can listen to the Dao's sound; even when the Sage Hongjun lectures on the Dao from the Thirty-Three Heavens far away, he can faintly hear a thread! His evasion technique is likewise incredibly swift.

With a single step he travels a hundred thousand miles, marvelously akin to his Golden Light of Earth Traversal.

Relying solely on these two divine abilities, Long-Eared Immortal Deng Guang thrived in the Jie Sect.

He became one of the Seven Attendant Immortals of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Moreover, due to the sect leader's favor, he repeatedly broke the precepts yet remained free and unrestrained.

But in the end, to save his life and to obtain a Buddha's fruition, he sold out the entire Jie Sect.

But what of it? Now I could never possibly enter the Jie Sect; whether this Long-Eared one is good or bad has nothing to do with me.

As long as he does not obstruct my path, let him go.

Of course, if Long-Eared blocks my path, then that's another matter.

"Immortal Deng Guang, fellow Daoist, I am Duobao Daoist, master of Golden Ao Island; considering your cultivation has not been easy, I will not make things difficult for you—you may go!"

Looking at the gray-robed Daoist before him, Duobao's expression remained calm, as if speaking of a trivial matter.

"Hahaha, who do you think you are? Still claiming to be master of Golden Ao Island? Self-proclaimed, surely."

"Hmph, you think you can drive me away? You're not worthy."

Long-Eared Immortal Deng Guang shook his iron staff in hand, and a cold voice rang out.

This iron staff is a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, its power astonishing; it is also one of Deng Guang's sources of confidence.

"Looks like you're refusing a toast and opting for punishment, huh?"

"Then go die!"

Duobao said no more.

The Five Elements Glazed Pagoda emerged freely from his heart, shooting out from between his brows.

It carried strands of innate divine might, blasting toward Long-Eared Immortal Deng Guang.

"An innate spiritual treasure?"

Sensing the might of the glazed pagoda, Long-Eared Immortal Deng Guang's pupils contracted sharply.

Filled with disbelief.

Although in this era many innate spiritual treasures still exist, with opportunities abundant.

Yet innate spiritual treasures remain objects of contention among the gods.

Not only because innate spiritual treasures are immensely powerful, but also because comprehending them grants one the legal power inherent in the treasure.

Thus allowing living beings to strengthen themselves.

Although Long-Eared Immortal Deng Guang is an innate living being, he nevertheless lacks a companion spiritual treasure.

The treasure in his hand, acquired later, is a low-grade innate spiritual treasure specialized for attack.

This is exactly opposite to the Five Elements Glazed Pagoda shooting forth.
