Great Dao Divine Script

The Chan Sect had gained another supreme treasure, and Yuanshi Tianzun's heart was blooming with joy.

Meng Chen already possessed the God-Slaying Spear and the Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Banner—lethal force and defense in hand—and now with the Myriad Dragon Whip, a divine weapon, no one of his generation could rival him.

Sage Jieyin and Sage Zhunti felt a sour pang in their hearts, grumbling at heaven's injustice that all the good things fell to the Three Pure Ones.

Just then, the void trembled, and Treasure Springs erupted once more.

Woo woo woo!

The sky was filled with magic treasures—blades, spears, swords, halberds, pots, bowls, ladles, basins... countless treasures bearing an innate aura rained down like a torrential downpour.

These treasures with an innate aura were akin to acquired magical tools among acquired treasures. Lacking the innate indestructible spiritual light, they could only be nurtured into innate magic treasures, not Innate Spiritual Treasures.

On Sage Zhunti's golden body, the miscellaneous magic treasures—prayer beads, wooden fish, golden hooks, silver hooks, divine pestles, agates, and so on—were all innate magic treasures.

The gap between an innate magic treasure and an Innate Spiritual Treasure was as vast as that between an Innate Dao Body creature and a Primordial Saint.

Even so, when heaven and earth nurtured an innate magic treasure, they endowed it with a special wondrous function. This function could be offensive, defensive, or auxiliary.

With a duang, a golden basin appeared in Daoist Duobao's hands. Spiritual light shimmered on the basin, and Dao charm surged—it was actually a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Amid the rain of innate magic treasures, Daoist Duobao had fished out a big catch!

Clutching the basin, Daoist Duobao's hands trembled uncontrollably, as if struck by Parkinson's.

It hadn't been easy! He, Daoist Duobao, had finally turned things around!

"Haha, not bad. It seems my Disciples of Intercepting Teaching have some karmic fortune too!"

Master Tongtian's temperament wasn't as restrained as Yuanshi Tianzun's. Seeing Daoist Duobao gain this opportunity, he laughed heartily. He recognized the wondrous function of the basin in Duobao's hands—it was called the Treasure Gathering Basin, capable of collecting magic treasures from all directions.

Sure enough, after Daoist Duobao obtained the Treasure Gathering Basin, most of the treasures spewing from Treasure Springs changed direction and flew toward him.

The disciples of the Western Church could only sigh helplessly.

What the West lacked most was innate magic treasures. They'd finally had a chance to gain more, only for Daoist Duobao to cut them off.

After obtaining the Innate Spirit Pill and the Myriad Dragon Whip, Meng Chen had little need for more treasures. However, one rather unique treasure caught his interest.

It was a small, dark-green bottle. Its mouth was open, ceaselessly absorbing the essence of sunlight, moonlight, and starlight, condensing them into drops of sun-water, moon-water, and star-water.

He tentatively infused his mana into the small dark-green bottle, and the bottle's absorption of sunlight, moonlight, and starlight sped up.

"The Three Lights Divine Water Bottle—a fine item. My Undying Tree grows too slowly. With this bottle, its growth rate should increase significantly."

This time, aside from Yuanshi Tianzun, no sage noticed Meng Chen's actions. Daoist Duobao was too dazzling; his brilliance overshadowed Meng Chen's movements.

Yuanshi Tianzun felt quite pleased that Meng Chen hadn't gotten the Treasure Gathering Basin.

If all the benefits fell to the Chan Sect, relations between the Intercepting Teaching and the Chan Sect would surely sour. Once the Disciples of Intercepting Teaching grew jealous of the Chan Sect disciples, the two sects would inevitably fall out one day.

As for the Teaching of Humanity, it still relied on the Chan and Intercepting sects for help! With only Grand Master Xuandu as its disciple, without the Chan and Intercepting sects lending a hand, the Teaching of Humanity couldn't accomplish anything.

What could be done? The three brothers were bound by the same breath—who else would dote on their eldest brother if not themselves?

"Eh, I have an Innate Spiritual Treasure! I have an Innate Spiritual Treasure too!"

Suddenly, a cheer rang out from Sacred Spring Peak, filled with joy and disbelief.

"Whose disciple is this?"

Yuanshi Tianzun had been focused on Meng Chen, but hearing this vaguely familiar voice, a bad feeling stirred in his heart. He looked toward the source of the cheer and saw Yellow Dragon True Man clutching a horn-shaped Innate Spiritual Treasure, grinning foolishly to himself.

Ah, it's one of mine!

Seeing that this show-off was indeed a Chan Sect disciple, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but rub his forehead and sigh. Wasn't it just an Innate Spiritual Treasure? Did the acquired spiritual treasures he, Yuanshi Tianzun, refine really fall short of an Innate Spiritual Treasure?

Yuanshi Tianzun thought Yellow Dragon True Man was a show-off, but Sage Zhunti, on the other hand, regarded Yellow Dragon True Man as a treasure.

And wasn't he? Yellow Dragon True Man seemed unremarkable, yet he had gained the recognition of a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

A fool's luck, indeed!

The Chan and Intercepting sects each gained an Innate Spiritual Treasure, while the Teaching of Humanity and the Western Church fared poorly.

The Teaching of Humanity had only one disciple, and Grand Master Xuandu's karmic fortune couldn't compare to the freaks Meng Chen and Duobao. So far, he had only obtained three innate magic treasures: the Cooling Pearl, the Wind-Sending Pearl, and the Warm Sun Pearl.

Despite their pleasant names, these three treasures had only one function: regulating the climate of a Daoist Temple, keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer.

The Western Church had many disciples, but numbers were useless—they hadn't obtained a single Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Alas, is our Western Church truly fated to have no connection with Innate Spiritual Treasures?"

A shadow of gloom fell over some Western Church disciples. They held innate magic treasures in their hands, yet couldn't muster any joy.

The Three Pure Ones had already shown great mercy by allowing the Western Church disciples to come and seek opportunities here. Not only were the Western Church disciples ungrateful, but they also coveted more, wanting Innate Spiritual Treasures—a clear sign of their greed.

But Treasure Springs couldn't hear the Western Church disciples' thoughts. As three hundred and sixty-five rivers flowed out from the springs, the final eruption of Treasure Springs began.

Woo woo woo! Woo woo woo!

The divine objects spewed this time were even more precious—Great Dao Divine Scripts formed at the dawn of heaven and earth. Each script was equivalent to a chapter of the Great Dao scripture, Pangu's exposition of the myriad paths of the universe.

"Yin," "Yang," "Metal," "Wood," "Water," "Fire," "Earth," "Time," "Space," "Power," "Causality," "Wealth," "Beauty"...

The sky was filled with divine scripts, each word brimming with might. Even Meng Chen felt he was no match for these scripts. Any one of them falling could crush him to death.

"Great Dao Divine Scripts—actually Great Dao Divine Scripts? The teacher once said that Pangu's Heaven-Opening Scripture in the Creation Jade Plate was recorded using Great Dao Divine Scripts. It was through that scripture that the teacher comprehended the Three Corpses Severing Technique. These juniors have such fortune?"

Master Tongtian was deeply shaken to see so many Great Dao Divine Scripts manifest.

The Western duo's hearts began to stir restlessly, itching to snatch all the divine scripts and take them home. If their Western Church obtained all the Great Dao Divine Scripts, it would be impossible for them not to flourish.

Only Yuanshi Tianzun felt a trace of unease. He looked up into the depths of the clouds, piercing through the void, as if staring straight at the Heavenly Dao.

"Do these disciples bear some special mission? Three hundred and sixty-five spring eyes correspond to the three hundred and sixty-five main stars of the heavens. The Heavenly Dao would not bestow such fortune on these disciples without reason."
