Duke of the East's expression, which looked as though he was suffering from severe constipation and extreme discomfort, persisted for a long time before he finally felt a trace of relief.

"Rob... Rob Hongyun? Hehe... You fellows really know how to dream! You guys truly have huge lives! For me to lose a top-tier Innate Spirit Treasure, I am convinced and harbor no complaints whatsoever!"

After holding it in for so long, Duke of the East spoke these few words, and he gradually and thoroughly felt comfortable and relieved.

Immediately afterward, he wore a depressed expression and refused to speak another word.

Had he known it would be this kind of situation beforehand, even if he had intended to rope in some people to strengthen the Immortal Court and indeed was at odds with Hongyun, he definitely would have realized that the Karma involved was immensely heavy, that the Four Seasons Loose Immortals deserved their doom, and he absolutely would not have intervened in this matter.

To actually want to rob Hongyun? This matter sounded utterly preposterous, alright!

If Hongyun could be robbed by these few people, he wouldn't be Ancestor Hongyun, who now astonished the Great Wilderness and could rival Pangu's Three Pure Ones!

Just how suicidal and unwilling to think things through must these few people have been to go and rob Hongyun!

At this very moment, the Four Seasons Loose Immortals had also considered their tribulation to have passed, their Dao Heart was crystal clear, and they possessed clear discernment and cognitive abilities. Naturally, they understood the meaning behind Duke of the East's recent words and could roughly perceive the changes in his mood.

Moreover, to tell the truth, as they thought about it now, lingering fear overwhelmed them, and they couldn't help but wonder why they had been so foolish and so eager to court death back then.

Robbing Hongyun? What a joke!

This matter was simply too preposterous!

What on earth were they thinking back then!

What they would not know was that this incident of theirs was actually just a beginning and a microcosm.

At this very moment, all over the Primordial Land, various preposterous robbery incidents began to appear successively, and many renowned Heaven and Earth mighty figures were being targeted for robbery.

Among them were Pangu's Three Pure Ones returning to the Kunlun Mountains, Ancestor Minghe who had been targeted the moment he descended from Chaos Beyond the Heavens, Zhen Yuanzi of Mount Wanshou, Jieyin and Zhunti of the West... and so on.

However, compared to the Four Seasons Loose Immortals, whose Karma was thoughtlessly taken over by Duke of the East, allowing them to escape a mortal tribulation, those robbers who targeted these renowned Heaven and Earth mighty figures—except for a few who mended their ways and were granted a sliver of leniency and a chance at survival—mostly lost their lives entirely.

As for these robbers, they were basically people who lacked Innate treasures in their hands. For the sake of the Quasi-Saint path, they had truly thrown caution to the wind.

Under this situation in the Great Wilderness, the Spirit Treasure contention tribulation derived from the opening of the Quasi-Saint era gradually intensified and spread continuously. Many living beings and Cultivators fought tooth and nail over a single Innate object, truly presenting a chaotic scene where one party exited the stage as another entered.

However, these were matters for later; right now, it was only just a beginning. Furthermore, Hongyun should be the first person to blaze a trail in this Spirit Treasure contention tribulation, but his mind right now was not focused on this Spirit Treasure contention tribulation at all.

Ever since Hongyun parted ways with Duke of the East and Queen Mother of the West, while continuing down the mountain, he forcefully shattered the Primordial Spirit and True Spirit imprint that Duke of the East had refined within the gathering immortals lamp, truly pocketing it for himself.

And when Hongyun truly tucked the gathering immortals lamp away, adding one more to his treasure collection, he was already close to walking out of Mount Buzhou and reaching the foot of Mount Buzhou.

Yet right at this moment, Hongyun's Primordial Spirit gave a slight twitch. In the dark, a special and abstruse sensory guidance seemed to arise, causing Hongyun to instinctively stop in his tracks. Immediately afterwards, his brows twitched involuntarily, and a trace of pleasant surprise surfaced on his face.

Following that, dazzling and abstruse immortal light gradually welled up in Hongyun's eyes, piercing through the the void and looking toward a moderately sized, ten-thousand-zhang-tall precipitous peak amidst a forest of peaks hundreds of millions of li away.

That was the general location guided by the abstruse sensory induction; going there to investigate would reveal the specific situation.

"Mount Buzhou truly deserves to be the divine pillar mountain supporting heaven and earth, transformed from the spine of Great God Pangu, and the center of the Primordial World. Although it is bound to be a right-and-wrong place where Karma converges because of this, it also gathers all sorts of Qi Fortune and creation, favored by heaven and earth. The spiritual opportunities of the Great Dao all gather here; it is a supreme geomantic treasure land of the Great Wilderness."

"For endless years, who knows how many rare treasures and Heaven and Earth spiritual materials have been nurtured within it, seeming as if they are inexhaustible, endless, and filled with infinite creation. Truly miraculous, it's just a pity that in the future... Sigh..."

Looking at the distant precipitous peak, Hongyun thought about how the Innate Gourd Vine and Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus had successively appeared in Mount Buzhou, and how various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots and Spirit Treasures were even concealed within. Cultivators from all directions had obtained all kinds of fated opportunities in Mount Buzhou, which was densely covered with various Heaven and Earth spiritual materials. He couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions, yet he also felt incomparable regret for the future when Mount Buzhou would be struck and collapse.

However, Hongyun did not want to learn from some novel protagonists and do such thankless and dangerous things as guarding Mount Buzhou.

Even if such a matter might yield Merit and Qi Fortune, Hongyun was still unwilling to do it; he didn't have such a broad mind and lofty ideals.

Therefore, Hongyun only sighed with regret for a moment, then gently shook his head, cast it behind his mind, and thought no more about it.

Instead, with a single step, he shattered the the void and arrived directly hundreds of millions of li away, landing atop that precipitous peak.

"I wonder what kind of treasure is hidden here that it can actually have a fated opportunity with me. Could it be another farce of having a fated opportunity without destiny caused by my physique of 'boundless overwhelming Qi Fortune'?"

"Given my status and position in the Great Wilderness today, unless it is someone I truly cannot stand, or completely imitating Jieyin and Zhunti, otherwise, I still have to mind some decency in the end and follow the heavenly fated principles, unable to always do things that ruin one's character like seizing other people's fated opportunities and creation..."

Although Hongyun muttered softly upon reaching the precipitous peak, he also quickly began searching carefully across this peak through the abstruse sensory guidance within his Primordial Spirit.

Very quickly, at a cliffside halfway up this precipitous peak, Hongyun sensed the existence of an Innate Formation.

Moreover, this time it was a true fated opportunity, by no means a fated opportunity without destiny. Because the moment Hongyun sensed the Innate Formation, the Innate Formation gained sentience, operating and opening on its own, and a Secret Realm spatial passage leading to the interior of the precipitous peak subsequently appeared.

Seeing this, Hongyun smiled calmly, then transformed into a stream of light and entered it. Instantly, he felt space and time transform, and in the blink of an eye, a small world of heaven and earth presented itself before Hongyun's eyes.

"Although this small world has no living beings and seems quite desolate, its Foundation is solid, and it even faintly manifests and evolves all phenomena and things of heaven and earth, presenting a scene full of vitality. If there are treasures here, they will definitely be extraordinary!"

As Hongyun surveyed this small world and felt its special features, he inwardly marveled and praised it while becoming even more curious about the treasure within that shared a fated opportunity with him.

And Hongyun soon saw the object of his fated opportunity at the top of a special peak in the center of this small world.
