Chapter 4: The Treasure Hunting Duo

  Zhou Cheng and Pangu set out on the road together, and along the way, they swept through like a swarm of locusts, bandits entering the village, taking away all the innate spiritual treasures and various chaotic treasures that were discovered. Everything belonged to Zhou Cheng alone, and several times, Zhou Cheng sneakily wanted to hand over the things he found to Pangu. However, Pangu insisted that these things were useless, not as sharp and practical as his axe, and he didn't want them, leaving Zhou Cheng speechless for a moment. With his own logic of being a thief who wouldn't take anything himself, but would rather let others have it, he thought to himself, "Whatever I see, I'll grab it", anyway, he couldn't leave these things behind for the enemy to use later.

  Among them, there are a few things that make Zhou Cheng smile and laugh, the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, 36 Dinghai Divine Pearls. It makes Zhou Cheng suspect that in the future, Zhao Gongming only got 24 pearls? Was it embezzled by Tongtian? The central apricot yellow flag. There is also a Hunyuan Lingguo tree with one Hunyuan fruit on it. If an ordinary person takes one, they can instantly reach the realm of Taiyi True Immortal, and from there, it's just a step away from Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, the time from flowering to fruition is too long, taking a total of 100,000 years.

  Pangu found a few things that were even more pleasing to the eye: Qiankun Ding 12 lotus platforms, Hunyuan wheel return pen. When Zhou Cheng got these things, he really laughed with his eyebrows, nose and eyes all scrunched up together. Zhou Cheng came from later generations, and yet he disliked Western religions so much, thinking that their teachings were actually a distortion of the heavenly way's ultimate principle, taking their founding principles, looking at how they would swagger afterwards.

  Zhou Cheng wandered with Pangu in the chaotic space for several tens of millions of years, during which Pangu taught Zhou Cheng his cultivation methods and some insights into the Heavenly Way using the divine transmission technique. Zhou Cheng felt that those things were different from his own cultivation key, "Hunyuan Chapter". Pangu's great method emphasized self-cultivation and also cultivated the primordial spirit. It seemed that the 12 Ancestral Shamans who came later were transformed from Pangu's vital energy, although they occupied strong physical bodies, their powers were somewhat dispersed. The Three Pure Ones shared Pangu's primordial spirit, so they were stronger. Zhou Cheng's "Hunyuan Chapter" was more focused on cultivating the primordial spirit and emphasized understanding the great Dao laws. What Zhou Cheng lacked was that thing. Zhou Cheng's magical powers and physical body also grew stronger in the chaotic years of flowing away. In fact, the chaos could not be counted in years, it was just Zhou Cheng's own feeling.

  However, he still only touched the Mixed Yuan Dao, it seems that becoming a saint is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it depends on one's own luck and understanding of the Heavenly Way. Pangu also didn't achieve the Mixed Yuan Dao, but his innate talent was good, he had the blessing of heaven, and for someone like Zhou Cheng who was at the quasi-master level, it was just a casual move.

  The chaotic years were uncounted, Zhou Cheng finally stopped after using his magical powers to retrieve a third-rate innate treasure. He turned back to look at Pangu.

  "Boss, I think you're truly omnipotent and invincible. Do you have any life ambitions?" Zhou Cheng felt suffocated, having excavated treasures until his hands cramped up and traveled to the point where his legs went soft, so he decided to enlighten the great ancient god Boss.

  "No way, I think that digging for treasure with you is the happiest thing I've ever experienced." Pangu shook his head and swung his axe, saying with a sigh.

  "Hey boss, don't you think this world is too dull? Look at that, and that, and even further away, it's all just one color, so depressing!" Zhou Cheng lamented.

  "Well, I think it's normal, aren't we like this since birth?" Eh, the great god is too unsophisticated and doesn't understand.

  "Big brother, have you ever thought of raising that axe of yours and slashing around this damned place... That would open up a whole new world. Zhou Cheng was being very sincere, he thought he was right, after all it was just the two of them, if Pangu didn't create the sky, then it would be his turn next, but he wasn't confident in his heart. Moreover, he could also help Pangu, Pangu didn't necessarily have to die."

  "Is it really as good as you say?" Panggu was somewhat moved.

  "Wow, old big brother, I've been calculating the Heavenly Way recently and found that opening up the sky is really a great scene! After opening up the sky, we can eat delicious food and drink spicy stuff, eat things you've never eaten before, see sights you've never seen before, and have goddess sisters you've never had... What? You don't understand? Ha! That's exactly why we need to open up the sky, seeking knowledge is what makes a good young man!" Zhou Cheng thought it was necessary to properly guide Pangu.

  "En, although I don't quite understand many of the things you said, I think there's some truth to your words about exploring the unknown. Perhaps what you're saying is my mission, but I still feel a bit uneasy, like there's something dangerous." Pangu's interest was piqued, and he spoke after a moment of contemplation.

  "Ah, boss, you're really clever. As soon as I mention it, you sense that something good is coming, right? There's no more danger now, with little brother here to help. You can take the lead and I'll assist you. If there's trouble, little brother will join in too." Zhou Cheng didn't dare to speak too confidently, after all, creating the heavens wasn't a task for mortals. Even Pangu, who was incredibly powerful, could only sacrifice himself to create the world. With his own help, it would probably be just enough. However, he really felt that he had nothing better to do, and creating the heavens was Pangu's mission anyway, it was just a matter of time. Besides, in the primordial chaos, time was not counted, so if he didn't say anything, who knows when Pangu would suddenly remember to create the heavens?

  "Alright, let's get started! Watch as I, Pangu, chop open this primordial chaos!" With a heroic spirit and determination, Pangu raised his axe.

  "Older brother, stop!! I think opening the sky is a great thing, but it's also too difficult. Our cultivation is still lacking, why not take some more time to quietly cultivate and make things happen." Although Zhou Cheng was very cunning, he wasn't completely without emotions. After several tens of millions of years, he had developed deep feelings for Pangu, even if he wanted Pangu to open the sky, he hoped that he wouldn't end up losing his life in the process.

  "Alright, let's two brothers cultivate well, when we feel our strength is enough, we'll make that earth-shattering move." Pangu said with great enthusiasm.

  "Wow, I've got you now, boss!" Zhou Cheng said with a flattering face, and the two immediately entered their training.
