Xu Fang's thoughts returned, and he paid no mind to what the Ink Jade Qilin was saying, waving a hand to stop it.
"No more nonsense, I'm in a hurry. I still have a little brother to save. I ask you, how did you discover this Qilin Cave Heaven? What unusual circumstances were there back then? In all these years, have there been any anomalies here?"
Xu Fang was indeed in a hurry, firing off questions one after another. The Ink Jade Qilin was left stunned for a moment before it could react and reply.
"After the war between the three tribes back then, they all suffered heavy losses. The Witch and Demon races rose, and we, being weak, led our Qilin tribesmen to wander the Primordial world and stumbled upon this small world."
The Ink Qilin recounted the arduous years of the past with a sigh.
"Indeed, we knew that the Qilin tribe's power was greatly diminished and could not contend with the Witches and Demons, so we gathered all our tribesmen and migrated here."
The Jade Qilin chimed in, recalling the past before continuing.
"As for anomalies, it was probably just a stroke of luck! At first, we thought it was a magical artifact, never imagining it to be a small world."
"Haha! That's right, we've lived here for many years with no changes. Daoist Xu Fang, please don't laugh, we really mistook it for a magical artifact back then, it's truly embarrassing!"
The Ink Jade Qilin said, exchanging smiles. They had indeed made a fool of themselves by mistaking it for a magical artifact, and even now, they felt a sense of shame.
However, as Xu Fang listened to their words, he repeatedly shook his head.
"No, no, no! Your feelings were not wrong. This Qilin Cave Heaven is indeed a magical artifact!"
Xu Fang had harbored suspicions earlier, and hearing the Ink Jade Qilin's recollection further confirmed his thoughts.
If nothing was wrong, this so-called Qilin Cave Heaven was the shattered bead outside, the world formed by the Chaos Bead!
The Chaos Bead inherently contained spatial laws and a chaotic world. If it didn't wish to fall into the hands of living beings, even if it was shattered, it should be able to transform into a world without issue.
"This!"
At these words, the Ink Jade Qilin exchanged glances, both incredulous and shaking their heads.
"Daoist Xu Fang, don't joke. How is that possible? We have already proven that it's a mistaken notion."
"Yes, even if we were wrong back then, after living here for so many years without discovering any anomalies, how could that be possible!"
The Ink Jade Qilin expressed disbelief, while the Golden-winged Great Peng and Ao Xue nodded repeatedly, expressing their belief.
"When it comes to treasure hunting, Senior is unrivaled in the Primordial world. If Senior says so, then it must be so, even if it isn't!"
"Your words are quite unreasonable, but I like them. Senior, are we going to dig for treasure?"
The Golden-winged Great Peng and Ao Xue looked delighted and eager to try.
Even the little Qilin who had been away for a long time had its treasure-hunting spirit ignited.
"Your Highnesses, you really have no choice but to believe this. Senior will not be wrong."
The Ink Jade Qilin listened to these words and looked at the little Qilin with a hint of helplessness.
Forget about the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, you are a Qilin! Why aren't you on our side?
This greatly stirred their competitive spirit, and after exchanging glances, they both laughed.
"Daoist Xu Fang, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that this matter is not as you say. If Senior doesn't believe us, you can try to search for it."
"Indeed, indeed. If Daoist Xu Fang can find any treasures in this Qilin Cave Heaven, they will all be yours. If Daoist Xu Fang says this Qilin Cave Heaven is a treasure, and can truly prove it, then this Qilin Cave Heaven will also be given to Daoist Xu Fang!"
The Ink Jade Qilin said this hoping to make Xu Fang retreat and not waste his time.
Their Qilin tribe had been rooted in the Qilin Cave Heaven for so many years, they knew every treasure and spiritual root clearly, how could there be any omissions?
However, upon hearing this, Xu Fang couldn't help but laugh and sigh, looking at the Ink Jade Qilin with helplessness.
"Do you really mean what you say? You will regret this!"
Xu Fang sighed. The last person who spoke so confidently in front of him had lost half of their Sea of Blood. Why were there so many stubborn individuals?
The Ink Jade Qilin heard this, exchanged glances, and also appeared helpless.
It seemed that Daoist Xu Fang was really determined to get to the bottom of this today.
"Daoist Xu Fang, we stand by our word, you can do as you please!"
"That's right, we won't go back on our word with Daoist Xu Fang. Daoist Xu Fang, please!"
There was no other way. To completely make Daoist Xu Fang give up, the Ink Jade Qilin had to let him try it himself.
"You all, alas!"
Xu Fang sighed. Since they were so stubborn, he had no choice but to give them a lesson.
"Alright! Follow me!"
Xu Fang said, and immediately stood up. The Treasure Distribution Rock had already thoughtfully stopped outside. Xu Fang stepped onto it, and the others followed.
The Ink Jade Qilin, standing on the Treasure Distribution Rock, still managed a bitter smile. This Daoist Xu Fang was truly persistent!
Forget it, forget it. In the end, he was a benefactor of the Qilin tribe. When he was disappointed later, they would give him a few more treasures so he wouldn't be too dejected.
The Treasure Distribution Rock carried Xu Fang and the others, quickly arriving at the tallest mountain in the Qilin Cave Heaven.
The Ink Jade Qilin saw this and shook its head repeatedly.
This mountain was the highest point in the Qilin Cave Heaven and was eye-catching. How could they not notice it?
The Qilin tribe was rooted here, and this mountain had been scoured by the Qilin tribesmen countless times. Forget about treasures, even spiritual roots of a hundred years had been plundered, forcing them to issue decrees for the Qilin tribesmen not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
In such a mountain, traversed by thousands and climbed by tens of thousands, what secrets could there be? What treasures could still exist?
"Daoist Xu Fang, perhaps we should leave?"
"Yes, we'll have a feast tonight. Let's have a good meal, shall we?"
The Ink Jade Qilin tried to persuade him, but Xu Fang remained unmoved. With a thought, a group of magical artifacts flew out and landed on the mountain.
The treasures gleamed, like a river of stars, resplendent and dazzling. The power of countless magical artifacts was unleashed, and the group of wind magical artifacts also shouted loudly.
"Chaos Bead! I know you're inside, come out quickly!"
"You fellow, you dare covet my little brother, but you don't dare come out to see us?"
"Open up! We're here for an inspection!"
Xu Fang listened to the magical artifacts' words and was immediately speechless.
It seemed he would have to talk to himself less in the future. These magical artifacts were learning from him, and what kind of nonsense were they spouting now!
However, it must be said, these words actually had an effect. As these words fell, the entire Qilin Cave Heaven began to tremble and shake, the heavens and earth changed color.
"This!"
The Ink Jade Qilin exchanged glances. What was happening?
Soon, amidst an atmosphere of world-destroying power, the mountain directly cracked open, and a beam of light rose slowly, illuminating the entire Qilin Cave Heaven, making it as if one was in a starry river!
