The voice faded as Xu Fang and Kong Xuan looked over, seeing the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor rushing towards them.
Kong Xuan frowned at the sight and immediately reprimanded him.
"Dapeng, what is the meaning of this? Do not be so disrespectful to this fellow Daoist!"
"Senior, I apologize! It is just that I heard you were leaving, and in my haste, I was impolite!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor landed beside the two and bowed deeply to Xu Fang, offering his apology.
Then, he impatiently asked.
"Senior, where are you going? Are you weary from your journey? Do you need a large bird to carry you and fly freely throughout the Primordial Heaven and Earth?"
"I, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor, am of Yuan Feng's bloodline and possess the ability of extreme speed. Wherever you point, Senior, my mission will be fulfilled!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor chattered on, leaving Xu Fang and Kong Xuan speechless.
You, with the bloodline of Yuan Feng, to speak such words, isn't that just wanting to be a mount for someone?
"Dapeng, there are limits to your mischief; you must be mindful of your status!"
Kong Xuan shouted, truly angered this time.
This Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor, after all, is a descendant of Yuan Feng's bloodline. To eagerly offer himself as a mount to others, what is this all about?
Isn't this a disgrace to the Phoenix Clan?
"I don't care, wherever Senior goes, I go!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor paid no mind to such matters. Staying in the Phoenix Clan was so boring. It would be far better to follow Senior and search for treasures in the Primordial World.
Ever since he learned of Senior's unique divine ability, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor had clearly set his goal: to follow this Senior and become a treasure hunter in the Primordial World!
Besides, it had already been decided within the Phoenix Clan that his elder brother would be the patriarch. He had no desire to contend for the position of the Phoenix Emperor. Of course, he wanted to roam freely throughout the Primordial Heaven and Earth!
"You!"
Kong Xuan was enraged. Seeing that the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor was disobedient, he was about to discipline him.
Xu Fang quickly stopped Kong Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist, please calm your anger. Since Dapeng yearns for the freedom of the Primordial Heaven and Earth, why don't you let him venture out and try his luck!"
"Rest assured, given my relationship with you, Fellow Daoist, how could I possibly treat him as a mere mount? I will take good care of him."
Since the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor already knew about his so-called unique divine ability, bringing him along to search for treasures was not impossible.
After all, traveling alone in the Primordial Heaven and Earth was indeed quite boring. Having an extra large bird could also provide some company and relief.
Kong Xuan looked at Xu Fang, and Xu Fang nodded at him.
"Alright!"
Kong Xuan knew that this fellow Daoist had always been steady and would surely take good care of his younger brother. After a moment of contemplation, he agreed.
If he refused, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor would likely slip away unnoticed. It was better to let him follow Xu Fang and have someone to look after him.
"Fellow Daoist, you must keep a close eye on him and prevent him from causing trouble."
"Understood. Farewell, Fellow Daoist. We shall meet again at Zixiao Palace!"
Xu Fang bid farewell to Kong Xuan once more. The Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor, his wish granted, also waved repeatedly, bidding farewell to Kong Xuan.
After leaving the Undying Volcano with the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor, Xu Fang looked back at the bird following behind him and shook his head.
He had originally intended to escort the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor back to the Phoenix Clan with Kong Xuan, but after all the twists and turns, he ended up taking him along on his journey.
However, since he had promised Kong Xuan, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor had now officially joined the Primordial Treasure Hunting Squad.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor had no such reflections. He was currently immersed in boundless joy, filled with anticipation for the future.
Seeing Xu Fang look over, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor's spirits lifted, and he eagerly inquired.
"Senior, where are we going now? Can you use your divine ability and see where there are treasures?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor's eyes were full of expectation. Senior Xu Fang's divine abilities were mysterious and powerful. The Phoenix Clan, with so many members and over so many years, had been unable to find the Phoenix Staff, yet Senior Xu Fang had found it as soon as his divine ability was activated.
At this moment, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor naturally looked forward to Xu Fang using his divine ability again to point to the location of treasures.
"I really don't know what to do with you. Wait a moment!"
Xu Fang sighed helplessly. Although his primary goal in traveling the Primordial World was to find treasures, this was the first time he had been urged to do so!
In the eyes of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor, had he truly become a human-shaped, mobile treasure detector?
Xu Fang closed his eyes, his mana surging and flowing without end.
"Senior's divine abilities are indeed vast. I could never imitate such techniques!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor watched from the side, marveling.
He had initially thought that he might be able to learn something by observing Senior's divine ability.
Now, however, he couldn't even understand the flow of mana, let alone imitate it!
Xu Fang smiled inwardly. It would be a miracle if anyone could imitate it!
After all, Xu Fang's so-called surging mana and displayed divine abilities were merely superficial. At this moment, his consciousness was focused on the treasure map, searching for suitable treasures.
"Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?"
Xu Fang quickly found a suitable treasure. What was considered suitable was a treasure that was closest to his current location and had not yet been claimed.
Although Xu Fang was enthusiastic about treasure hunting, he had not reached the point of madness or obsession. He was still hesitant about killing for treasure.
Of course, if it were an enemy like Jiu Ying, Xu Fang wouldn't mind engaging in a bit of "killing and taking treasure."
Currently, the map indicated that the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was the closest and had no marked owner. Xu Fang then clicked on the information interface of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
[Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda]
[Grade: Acquired Spirit Treasure.]
[Ownership: None yet.]
[Current Location: East of the Undying Volcano. System map is continuously navigating for the host.]
[Introduction: The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, officially known as "Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Sarira Seven Treasures Exquisite." The pagoda, as its name suggests, resembles a seven-story pagoda. It can absorb people into it and use great fire to burn them, or it can be thrown to strike at the crown of someone's head, possessing an irresistible force. The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda has a world similar to the Mustard Seed Universe in the Mirror of Goodness, capable of holding treasures and living beings. The pagoda is divided into seven levels, each containing a magic treasure. These are the Spirit-Calming Pearl, the Elegant Immortal Sword, the Demon-Binding Chain, the God-Startling Halberd, the Heavenly Net Umbrella, the Pure World Fly Whisk, and the Heaven-Battling Thorn.]
Xu Fang quickly finished reading the introduction to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and exclaimed in surprise.
"Isn't this the treasure used to deal with that Heavenly King of the Li family and my own rebellious son?"
"What Li family Heavenly King, what rebellious son?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor asked, confused.
"Nothing, nothing. I am currently using my divine ability. Do not interrupt me!"
Xu Fang casually replied, glossing over it.
He had been too excited just now and had forgotten that the Golden-Winged Great Peng Condor was still watching his ritual.
Xu Fang mused inwardly, no wonder he felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the name "Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda."
It turned out that this treasure was the very pagoda held by Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Heavenly Court in the future. It was precisely because he wielded this pagoda that Li Jing earned the title of "Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li!"
