This primordial world is extraordinary.

Chapter 6: A Common Type of Show-off [Please Read On]

"Who is Fellow Daoist Yuanmu?"

This is the only innate deity that Kunpeng is unfamiliar with; he has never actually heard of it before.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, you've never been to the Central Realm of the Primordial World, have you?"

Xi Yi gave an irrelevant answer.

"really!"

The Kunpeng, which had just crawled out of the sea, had never been to the center of the primordial wilderness.

"Then it's not surprising. Fellow Daoist Yuanmu is the World Tree of this world, the innate spiritual root that supports my primordial world... However, due to certain reasons, Fellow Daoist Yuanmu is not very intelligent and is often in a daze. I heard about this from Fellow Daoist Yangmei. Fellow Daoist Yangmei was very fortunate to have encountered a moment when Fellow Daoist Yuanmu was clear-headed."

"hiss?"

This fake primordial world was actually supported by the World Tree, the Mother Tree.

I thought it was a miniature version of the legendary god Pangu, but it seems it's not entirely the same.

"I see. I must go and observe when I have time. Fellow Daoist Yuanmu has done us a great service!" Kunpeng said earnestly.

At this moment, he was very curious and wanted to ask them if they knew about Pangu.

Or perhaps there is a legend of Pangu in this world?

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Yuanmu has made great contributions to our Primordial World. The Primordial World's abundant innate spiritual energy is due to two reasons: firstly, the transformation of the Primordial World itself, and secondly, the transformation by Fellow Daoist Yuanmu. We have all benefited from Fellow Daoist Yuanmu," Xi Yi said.

"Hmm?" Kunpeng was a little confused: "What do you mean by the abundant innate spiritual energy that Fellow Daoist Xiyi mentioned?"

What did Kunpeng think he had missed?

Where is the innate spiritual energy, or even the rich innate spiritual energy?

"Can't you breathe?" Xi Yi was a little confused.

How come this person doesn't understand anything? How can he receive the teachings of heaven and earth?

"Ah? This...this...so this is what it is." Kunpeng's expression was very complicated, and he didn't know why he was like this. Did he still have expectations?

Poor fool.

The air I was breathing was actually rich in innate spiritual energy; this exaggerated description was indeed the first time I had ever heard of it.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the Great God Pangu?"

Kunpeng noticed Xiyi's change and realized something might have gone wrong.

It seems I really don't have any inheritance from heaven and earth.

Everything I know is based on my past life experiences, and it seems to lack a process, lacking the inheritance of heaven and earth that Xi Yi spoke of.

"You?" Xi Yi was truly stunned.

If my intuition is correct, this person is a naturally divine being just like myself... perhaps, possibly, maybe even a little stronger than myself.

Otherwise, he would have truly believed that the Kunpeng before him was a remnant of a chaotic god or demon.

"If you'd like, fellow Daoist, could you also tell me how to obtain the inheritance of heaven and earth? I don't seem to have any?"

Since Xi Yi can't beat me anyway, I might as well ask him everything.

Even if I jump ten meters, the person opposite me only jumps five meters.

I am strong, he is weak, he can't beat me.

With such strong backing, Kunpeng became fearless.

As for concepts like cause and effect, calamities, and other things that are dangerous in the primordial world, they don't exist.

This trivial and chaotic situation doesn't exist.

Do you understand that I don't have the ability?

Therefore, no matter how he asks or does, it doesn't involve cause and effect.

Conversely, it would be better if it existed, as it would indicate that the primordial world was very powerful and could involve cause and effect, eons, and calamity energy.

That way, I won't be heartbroken.

"No? You don't have a companion treasure?" Xi Yi was equally dumbfounded.

Speaking of Kunpeng, I'm even more confused.

Demon Master Kunpeng is famously poor. What did the first generation of Hun Kun have?

Is he also a notoriously poor guy?

Is this something that is hereditary?

Do I have a companion treasure?

Besides, something's not right. It's one thing if the people are fake, but what's wrong with this primordial world? Could it be that innate treasures and innate spiritual treasures have also been created here?

No way?

Why?

Why is he so depressed?

"Ahem, what is meant by a companion treasure?" Kunpeng was not very confident at the moment.

His background and the legends surrounding him made him very insecure.

I was reincarnated as a famous poor person, and I really lack confidence!

"You, you? Fellow Daoist, you are so pitiful." Xi Yi felt that he had misunderstood Fellow Daoist Kunpeng.

He really doesn't understand; he's truly pitiful.

Just like that scoundrel named Qiankun, who pitied himself back then.

Now I finally understand the way Qiankun looked at me back then.

When I proudly took out the Xiyi Lamp, I remember Qiankun pulling out many other items from his pocket; the scene is still vivid in my mind.

"The companion treasure is born of heaven and earth, equivalent to you and me. It is the supreme symbol of our innate divinity, a perfectly compatible treasure, or perhaps it is the two parts of our origin. The companion treasure is the connection to the Great Dao..."

This time, Xi Yi was very patient, without any competitive mentality or desire to surpass Kunpeng.

He simply patiently described it to Kunpeng.

Don't misunderstand why Xi Yi had a competitive mentality before, and why he always tried to show off his nobility and surpass Kunpeng.

Because this pirated version of the Primordial Era is so ridiculous, the holy and powerful beings can't discuss their extremely high cultivation levels and their understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so they can only compare this.

The poorer they are, the more particular they become; they are probably the epitome of stingy and pedantic.

Therefore, they take everything—refined cuisine, etiquette, knowledge—with extra care.

There's nothing else to be proud of, so these are the only things that make them feel proud.

In other words, this prehistoric world is most likely populated by: pretentious show-offs.

They were all very proud.

Kunpeng understood through Xiyi's description.

The so-called companion treasure is like a connector between heaven and earth. Any knowledge, inheritance, or divine gift will be transmitted to the innate deities through the companion treasure.

It wasn't as he imagined, that it was directly imprinted in his soul and innate knowledge, but rather that there was a process to transmit it.

[Could it be that the Heavenly Dao of this world cannot directly imprint the divine soul?] Kunpeng found it hard not to think this way.

Perhaps the Heavenly Dao of this realm couldn't do it, so it developed something like an app in a system and passed it on to these deities.

However, none of this matters.

The important thing is that I don't seem to have any innate treasures. I really don't.

[Holy crap! You've gone this far with the story, and you still want to follow the legend? You're setting me up as a penniless nobody, without even a single companion spirit treasure? Are you targeting me?] Kunpeng thought speechlessly.

"Do you understand now?" Xi Yi looked at Kunpeng with pitiful eyes.

Seeing Kunpeng's depressed and distressed appearance, they thought they had hurt this new fellow Daoist.

"Understood," Kunpeng nodded.

"Hmm!" Xi Yi paused, then immediately changed the subject, saying, "As for the Great God Pangu you asked about, he is actually mentioned in the inheritance. The Great God Pangu was born from chaos, slayed three thousand gods and demons, opened up our primordial world, and transformed into all things, accumulating immeasurable merit..."

He launched into another long discourse, seemingly wanting to tell this poor, uninherited Kunpeng everything he knew.

The person is actually quite nice.

"Of course, strictly speaking, we don't count. We are innate deities, you know what I mean?" Xi Yi said finally.

"I understand," Kunpeng said.

"Do you really know?" Xi Yi asked.

"I really understand. I'm just poor, not stupid," Kunpeng joked to himself.

Upon hearing this, Xi Yi gave an awkward smile and did not delve any further.

What's so hard to understand? It's just some stupid, prehistoric program setting, isn't it?

These innate gods and demons are merely remnants of chaotic gods and demons, such as the famous Yang Mei, a remnant of a spatial chaotic god and demon.
