After Taichu left Zhou Mountain, it took him less than a period of time to reach the West.
The West was no longer as desolate as it was after the war between Daoists and Devils. It was almost as desolate as the East!
At the end of the Sixth Calamity, many Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures had grown. This made Taichu very excited. His hobby of collecting Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures and Earthly Treasures were as firm as his Dao Heart!
"If I keep digging like this, will the West become barren?" Taichu thought to himself.
He felt a little guilty. "Eh, ten-thousand-year-old ginseng. Not bad..."
"Oh! I am indeed a man of great luck. Is this an Innate Formation? "
Taichu sensed a place with dense Metal Qi. It was a valley!
"Could it be that all the Heavenly Treasures and Spiritual Roots are hidden in valleys and canyons? Looks like I have to be extra careful when I come across such places! "Taichu said as he walked towards the valley.
"It is indeed an Innate Formation!" The valley was covered by the formation. Streams of Metal Qi filled the air.
"It's an Metal Qi Formation. I think the Innate Metal Qi I'm looking for is here!"
Taichu looked at the formation and found that it was another formation that required a lot of effort!
Innate Formations might not be very powerful, but they were all formed by Innate Beings. Therefore, they were very complete and could not be broken easily.
Moreover, they were born by Heaven and Earth. As time passed, the formation would become more powerful. This was something that could not be done by man-made formations.
Taichu knew that he was an expert in formations. However, such a formation was very troublesome to deal with.
"I can study it. Every Innate Formation is the best teacher. If I can fully understand this formation, I will be able to set it up in the future."
Taichu initially thought that many formations were created through research. Actually, that was not the case. There were indeed many formations that had been researched by individuals. However, for the earliest formations, other than those who specialized in the Laws of Formations, some Innate Formations were the best teachers!
This included the Space-Time Formation that Taichu had deciphered. After tens of thousands of years of research, Taichu could also set up a Space-Time Formation. The only difference was the strength of the Space-Time Formation.
However, as his cultivation improved, he could also increase the power of the array formation!
This research took him nearly a hundred years. After his cultivation improved, his research on array formations also sped up. Furthermore, this Innate Metal Array Formation was not as strong as the previous Space-Time Array Formation!
From this, it could be determined that the items inside were not as valuable as the ones he had obtained in Zhou Mountain!
After another thousand years, the Taichu finally broke through the Innate Formation!
As the formation was broken, a gust of Innate Metal Spiritual Qi gushed out!
In the middle of the valley, there was a golden apple tree!
"This … this can't be the Golden Apple Tree, right? Why do I feel like I've transmigrated? "Taichu was surprised.
In fact, in the Untainted Land, there were not only the Nine Supreme-Grade Primordial Spiritual Roots, but also many other Primordial Spiritual Roots. Just like the Purple Gold Grapes obtained by Taichu, this Golden Apple Tree was also a Top Grade Primordial Spiritual Root!
As for why there were so few records in the later generations? Because many records were recorded from the Lich Era, many secrets from the Desolate Era were covered up.
Thinking about it, only Hong Jun and a few others were left after the death of the Gods and Demons. They were all existences with high status. Who would tell the younger generation?
The Untainted Land was also divided into many eras, such as the Desolate Era, the Primordial Era, and the Lich Era.
Many secrets from the Lich Era would be buried in the river of time in the future.
Taichu had transformed so early, so he was destined to know many secrets that the later generations did not know. Taichu only knew a little about the Untainted Land now. He was not as familiar with it as he was after the Dragon Han Tribulation!
… … …
"This Golden Apple is indeed condensed from Metal Spiritual Qi. It is very beneficial to creatures with Innate Metal Spiritual Qi. It is also very important to creatures who cultivate the Law of Metal. It was obtained by me, "Taichu said after observing the Golden Apple.
There were 36 fruits on the tree, which implied the number of the 36 cycles.
"I wonder how many fruits can I eat to complete my Innate Metal Spiritual Qi?" Taichu's purpose was to find Spiritual Veins, Spiritual Treasures, and Spiritual Roots that contained Innate Metal Spiritual Qi.
This Golden Apple happened to be what Taichu needed very much.
In addition, Taichu's Primordial Spirit explored the valley and found that there was a rare Metal Spiritual Vein here!
Most of the Spiritual Veins in the Untainted Land did not have any attributes, so any creature could absorb them.
Spiritual Veins were divided into Ancestral Veins, Supreme Grade, Upper Grade, Middle Grade, and Lower Grade.
For example, the 36 grotto-heavens were places with Supreme Grade Spiritual Veins, and the 72 blessed lands were places with Upper Grade Spiritual Veins.
For example, Zhou Shan was the most powerful Ancestral Veins in the Untainted Land.
However, some of the top blessed lands also had Ancestral Veins, such as Kunlun Mountain, Penglai Island, and the top three stars among the billions of stars, such as the Sun Star and the Crape Myrtle Star!
These places all had Ancestral Veins!
There were also some special blessed lands that contained Spiritual Veins of the Five Elements, such as the Metal Spiritual Vein in the West, the Fire Spiritual Vein in the Undying Volcano in the South, the Water Spiritual Vein in the East Sea, and so on!
This kind of Spiritual Vein was very special and precious. After the Untainted Land changed from Zhou Shan to Buzhou Mountain in the Great Shaman War, this kind of Spiritual Vein disappeared.
Even before the Great Shaman War, it might have disappeared even earlier.
Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals relied on this to quickly increase their cultivation. Just think about it!
This was also the reason why it was so difficult to increase one's cultivation in the future. Many treasures of heaven and earth were gone, so naturally, one had to rely on their own efforts. This was also the reason why every time a living being could obtain Qi of Merit during the Great Shaman War, it would always be envied by countless living beings.
Because at that time, only Qi of Merit could quickly increase one's cultivation. There was nothing else!
Thinking of this, Taichu put away the Golden Apple Tree without saying anything. Then, he put the Connate Metal Spiritual Vein into the Space-Time Staff.
"Set it up in the Limitless Training Ground. As long as I don't drain the pond to fish, I should have enough Connate Metal Spiritual Vein with the Golden Apple Fruit." Taichu thought.
It was also because of this understanding that Taichu felt that in the future, he should not only focus on the Spiritual Treasure herbs. Like this kind of precious Spiritual Vein, he should also collect it. Anyway, if he did not collect it, it would be destroyed. It was better to benefit himself.
After the matter was over, Taichu's trip to the West this time was successful.
Taichu decided to return to the Taichu World first. This trip and seclusion had taken him a lot of time. He really missed the Taichu World. That was his home.
The purpose of this trip was almost all achieved, and the harvest was full. He found the Purple Gold Grape, Golden Apple, and Yellow Middle Plum!
There were not many Spiritual Treasures, only one, but this Cauldron of Creation was more precious than a hundred ordinary Spiritual Treasures!
Rather than having a lot of useless things, it was better to have what he needed the most.
Besides, Taichu, who knew the future of the Great Desolate Era very well? He did not think that he would lack Spiritual Treasures.
He did not have many now, mainly because they had not been born. Along the way, he encountered nearly ten Spiritual Treasures, but none of them were born. However, Taichu left a trace of his Primordial Spirit. As long as they were born, he could collect them when the time came.
Thinking of this, this trip was even more perfect.
Taichu held the Space-Time Staff and rushed to the South Sea happily!
