"Your treasure?"

Guang Chengzi slightly raised his eyebrows, doubting if he heard it wrong.

Does this junior really want to compete with them for the treasure in the valley?

Where did he get such courage?

Next to him, Chi Jingzi, also dressed in the Eight Diagrams Purple Immortal Robe, curled the corners of his mouth as if he had heard something amusing, and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Yes, my treasure."

Yu Yuan nodded seriously, riding the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel leisurely towards the valley, and solemnly said, "Please step aside, gentlemen, so as not to delay me from claiming the treasure."

"This junior is really amusing."

The tall figure of the Daoist Yellow Dragon, whose voice boomed like a bell, laughed heartily with a hint of ridicule, "If your master was here speaking these words, I, Yellow Dragon, would turn around and leave without a word. But you, a mere junior, asking us to step aside, aren't you afraid the wind might blow your tongue away?"

Next to him, Samantabhadra, the True Immortal, spoke with a hostile tone: "I fail to see what's so amusing about a Jie Sect disciple who lacks manners like you!

But then again, disciples of Jie Sect have always been so arrogant and full of themselves!"

"Is this Chan Sect friend discussing manners with me?"

Yu Yuan looked surprisedly at Samantabhadra, the True Immortal, "Half of the Twelve Golden Immortals of your Chan Sect are here, ganging up on two disciples of Jie Sect... Are such actions appropriate and in accordance with manners?"

"Hahaha... Nephew asked a good question!"

Yuyi Immortal had been somewhat annoyed that Yu Yuan did not heed his words, but now he laughed out loud: "Aren't you Chan Sect disciples the ones who value manners and rules the most?

If you have the ability, come and fight me one-on-one, so that you can see whether we of Jie Sect are really as arrogant as you claim!"

"Hmph!"

Samanthabhadra, the True Immortal's eyes flashed with anger, ignoring Yuyi Immortal's provocation, instead looking coldly at Yu Yuan and scolded: "What would a junior know? Yuyi Immortal and Flame Immortal are notorious for their violence, they barged into this Grotto Heaven and wreaked havoc. We took action to protect this sacred Grotto Heaven..."

Before he could finish, Yu Yuan interrupted: "I understand, I understand... You're saying this is the specialty of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect... the righteous gang beating, right?"

"Hahahaha..."

Despite being in a dire situation, Yuyi Immortal couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Nephew, you scolded them well!"

Yu Yuan frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, when have I ever cursed anyone?"

Yuyi Immortal laughed heartily: "Isn't that right! Isn't it by this very tactic of 'righteous gang beating' that they made their name as the Twelve Golden Immortals?"

The two of them took turns in their sarcasm, excelling in mockery.

The faces of Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Sect disciples immediately darkened.

Dressed in Water Molecule Robe with twin buns on his head, Manjusri Guangfa Venerable shouted sternly: "Relying on your sharp tongue, you truly act lawlessly. Today I shall discipline you properly on behalf of your master!"

With that, he abandoned Yuyi Immortal, his Flat Stick transforming into a streak of azure light, shooting towards Yu Yuan.

At this moment, Yu Yuan was already in front of the valley, looking at the heavy cloud mist covering the valley, he casually tilted his head and let the Flat Stick pass by.

"Swish!"

The Flat Stick grazed his ear and struck heavily on the cloud mist ahead.

The cloud mist, which should have been visible but intangible, showed unexpected toughness, catching the Flat Stick like a net and deeply indenting, then violently bouncing it back.

Yu Yuan's gaze shifted slightly, thinking that a Quasi-Saint's power indeed is extraordinary.

Even this Cloud Covering Formation casually deployed by the Red Cloud Ancestor, after countless ages, could easily block the attack of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

However, given the Dao Xing and Spiritual Treasures of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, this Cloud Covering Formation would not be able to stop them for long, breaking through was merely a matter of time.

Considering this, Yu Yuan did not want to delay either and directly took out the small triangular flag given by the Red Cloud Ancestor.

He held the small triangle flag and gave it a gentle shake, and the heavy cloud mist in front of the valley willingly parted to both sides, revealing a winding path leading into the depths of the clouds.

"How is this possible?!"

"How does he have the Array Flag?"

"Could the treasure inside the valley really belong to him?"

"Impossible! This valley has been hidden in the void for god knows how many ages!"

Everyone present was stunned.

Guang Chengzi and the others even forgot to continue suppressing Yuyi and Flame Immortal, allowing the two to seize the opportunity to soar into the sky, hurrying along the winding path.

But before they could get there, Yu Yuan had already ridden the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel into the formation, and the heavy cloud mist closed tightly behind him, so perfectly sealed that not even an ant could get through.

Yuyi Immortal hurriedly yelled, "Nephew, let us in too!"

No one answered his call, but behind them came Samantabhadra, the True Immortal's angry voice: "Brothers, let us first suppress these two obstinate ones, then guard the surroundings!

That Yu Yuan insulted us, and it's only right to discipline him on behalf of his master!"

"The junior brother is correct!"

Chi Jingzi slightly narrowed his eyes and coldly said: "That Yu Yuan is our junior, yet he is disrespectful to his seniors; he should be disciplined.

"Heh, you Chan Sect disciples really are hypocritical!"

Yuyi Immortal mocked: "To covet treasures, you first list others' crimes; are you not tired of this? Unlike us disciples of Jie Sect, we always act on our impulses, free and unrestrained, this is how a Cultivator on the Immortal Path should be!"

"You Jie Sect disciples are ill-mannered, shameless, and commit all manner of wicked deeds, do not equate yourselves with us!"

"There's no need for fellow brothers to waste words with them; suppress these two first!"

"Heh, do they really think our Jie Sect Immortals are so easy to bully!"

…

After entering deep into the clouds and mist, all sounds from the outside world could no longer be heard.

The entire world became quiet in an instant.

Yu Yuan rode the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel, winding along the tortuous path, east one moment and west the next, finally arriving in the valley after a considerable amount of time. He became the first extramundane being to enter the valley after an infinite expanse of years.

Compared to the Ancient Era, the environment within the valley had greatly changed.

At a glance, ancient trees towered to the sky, their branches robust like entwined dragons, countless precious birds and Auspicious Beasts concealed among the vegetation, very harmonious and natural.

Also visible were all kinds of rare Great Medicines.

A ginseng with a thickness like that of an arm, Lingzhi with nine layers of leaves hanging high, and many more unknown herbs shone translucently, filled with bits of glowing light.

The fragrance of the herbs wafted through the air, refreshing the heart and spleen.

Just by breathing in the air of the valley, Yu Yuan saw prompts on the information panel like "Mana -1" "Vitality -2."

However, what caught the attention the most was the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Despite many ancient trees blocking the view, Yu Yuan still felt its unique aura the moment he entered the valley.

Within his Divine Thought, it felt as if a profound Daoist charm was flowing in the depths of the valley, prompting numerous stray thoughts in his heart instantly and causing his Primordial Spirit to gradually cloud with confusion...

"Truly an Enlightenment Tea Tree!"

Yu Yuan sincerely admired and thought that just a sweep of Divine Thought could fill him with distracting thoughts and obscure his Primordial Spirit. For other beings, it probably could clear their minds and lead to the realization of the Dao!

Take, for example, the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel.

At this moment, its eyes were blank, as if it had entered a mysterious Realm.

With Yu Yuan's urging, the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel woke up as if from a dream, joyfully advanced rapidly, and soon they saw the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

The closer they got to the Enlightenment Tea Tree, the more stray thoughts proliferated in Yu Yuan's heart, and he had to operate his Primordial Spirit to block the interference.

In stark contrast was the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel.

At this moment, its inner state was one of peace, without joy or sorrow, serene and tranquil. Had it not still been adhering to its duty, it might have already entered a state of enlightenment.

Yu Yuan then placed it into the Qiankun Ruyi Bag and took a closer look at the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

The tree was no longer the small sapling it once was, yet it was not enormously tall either.

The highest point was only about thirty feet above the ground, with a trunk more than two feet thick, robust as a coiled dragon, with its old bark cracked open like Dragon Scales.

It was extremely unique; no two leaves on the tree were the same.

Each leaf was distinct, all transparent and as if carved from jade.

Some leaves gleamed like gold, others were bright like cinnabar, displaying a myriad of colors.

Wisps of Daoist charm flowed over the leaves, creating various patterns and symbols, resembling fish, Immortal Cranes, mountains, clouds, Eight Diagrams...

These patterns and symbols, condensed from Daoist charm, appeared lifelike, with each leaf unique, each possessing a unique and precious Daoist charm, incredibly mysterious.

The various leaves, with their strange shapes, emitted Seven-colored Mists.

The ancient, robust trunk and the vibrant leaves merged, filled with life and Daoist charm, both mysterious and profound.

Yu Yuan counted and found a total of three thousand leaves on the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

It was uncertain whether these leaves represented three thousand kinds of Innate Dao.

If that were true, then the value of these leaves would be immeasurable!

Especially for those Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals, and even Quasi-Saint powers who have encountered bottlenecks on the Immortal Path and found it difficult to make any progress, this Enlightenment Tea Tree could be of great assistance.

With this in mind, Yu Yuan did not hesitate. He activated his mana and extended it along the roots of the Enlightenment Tea Tree down toward the rocks below.

Naturally, he wanted to uproot the Enlightenment Tea Tree, so he made sure to protect all of its roots.

To his surprise though, the tree which appeared to be only about thirty feet tall had roots extending dozens of feet long, plunging deep into the earth's veins.

It was precisely by this method that it drew the Spiritual Energy of Wuyi Mountain and, after an endless span of years, nurtured such a special Spirit Root as the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Yu Yuan enveloped all of the roots of the Enlightenment Tea Tree with mana, not missing even the tiniest detail. Then with a slight vibration, he reduced the surrounding rock to dust, yet without harming the Enlightenment Tea Tree in the slightest.

He took out the Ruyi Qiankun Bag, found an open space inside to plant the Enlightenment Tea Tree, then proceeded to collect all the rare Spiritual Medicines, towering ancient trees, precious birds, and Auspicious Beasts into the bag from the valley.

Were it not for the fact that the Qiankun Bag had an inner space of several thousand miles in radius, he might not have been able to fit everything inside.

When Yu Yuan had satisfactorily tied up the bag, the entire valley had already become quite bare.

Just then, he felt a sudden movement in his heart, detecting a subtle and mysterious aura that emerged without warning and began to expand at an extremely fast rate.

Following the trail, he saw that in the large hole left by the removal of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, strands of golden light were converging from all directions, gathering in that hole to form a bright golden orb.

Inside the orb, one could vaguely make out a round coin with a square hole, wings on both sides, and Seven-colored halos swirling around it.

The moment he saw it, Yu Yuan already knew what it was.

He had an odd expression; he could hardly believe that the treasure sought by the Nine-tailed Fox clan for over a thousand years, which they had failed to find, would appear in such a manner.

Could it be that he was the destined Fude True Immortal?
