By this point, the supreme treasures of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin Three Races had all fallen into Chen Ku's hands alone.
Naturally, he had no intention of stopping there.
Chen Ku continued searching, making move after move.
Before long, he had already obtained more than a dozen spiritual treasures.
Moreover, every treasure Chen Ku set his sights on was at least of the low-grade innate level.
Among them, the one that delighted Chen Ku most was a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure: the Limitless Bracelet.
Once activated, it could take away all treasures under heaven. It also contained earth-shattering offensive power, unrivaled in battle and impossible to resist.
In the original course of fate, this treasure should have belonged to Yuanshi.
Who would have thought that, in this life, Chen Ku would intercept it first with his foreknowledge?
However, there were fully three thousand great powers participating in the division of spiritual treasures.
With Chen Ku's performance being so outstanding, it naturally attracted the covetous eyes of certain people.
What was more, among the three thousand great powers, most had gained nowhere near as much as he had.
Just after Chen Ku claimed another Innate Spiritual Treasure,
a great power suddenly descended from the air.
"Hehe, boy, you reacted quickly enough."
"You really did seize the initiative."
"However, you have already gained enough. I shall graciously accept the remaining spiritual treasures on your behalf."
The newcomer sneered repeatedly, his eyes filled with greed.
He too was a great power at the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Perhaps for that reason, his earlier gains had consisted only of a few Acquired Spiritual Treasures, leaving him utterly unable to compete with the quasi-sage experts.
Thus, upon seeing Chen Ku's "good fortune," he immediately sought to seize this prime "treasure ground" and take the remaining spiritual treasures for himself.
Chen Ku's expression turned stern. The mana within his body began circulating on its own, vast and overwhelming, enough to shake the soul.
Instinctively, he wanted to make a move.
But in that flash of lightning, a thought stirred in Chen Ku's mind.
The other party was merely a Grand Luo Golden Immortal and was clearly an independent cultivator, unaffiliated with any major lineage.
For this? Was it worth exposing his strength?!
Chen Ku smiled strangely and immediately looked toward Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.
"Master, Martial Uncle, the spiritual treasures here are fated to belong to our Western Sect!"
"But someone is trying to steal your disciple's opportunity!"
That was right!
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ku directly deployed his traditional skill!
If he could complain, he would never fight!
That abrupt remark left the great power who had been sneering utterly stunned.
What?!
This kid... was that cowardly?!
Moreover, no one noticed that in another corner, Old Ancestor Ming He's expression froze when he heard Chen Ku's words, before his face darkened.
He was far too familiar with this move!
As for Jie Yin and Zhun Ti,
the two had been happily making move after move, collecting all manner of spiritual treasures.
Upon hearing Chen Ku's words, both their expressions sank as they looked in the direction of his voice.
Once Jie Yin saw clearly the great power contending with Chen Ku, he immediately barked coldly.
"Outrageous!"
"Xuanqiong Daoist, if you dare lay a hand on my disciple,"
"then when this matter is over, I will fight you to the death!"
Xuanqiong Daoist was clearly the Daoist title of the person intending to attack Chen Ku.
Having attended lectures at Purple Cloud Palace three times together, Jie Yin naturally recognized him at a glance.
As soon as those words were spoken, Xuanqiong Daoist halted, his face as dark as water.
Damn it!
He had originally planned to catch Chen Ku off guard, snatch his opportunity, and leave immediately.
Chen Ku would then have no one to blame but himself for being weaker.
Who could have expected this brat to refuse to play by the rules?!
One complaint, and he had directly drawn Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's attention to this matter.
This had become rather troublesome indeed!
Xuanqiong Daoist was naturally extremely wary of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.
Leaving aside their strength, either one of them could utterly crush him.
More importantly, once one provoked those "shameless twins," they would cling like maggots to bone, impossible to shake off.
As the saying went, one could be a thief for a thousand days, but one could not guard against thieves for a thousand days!
If he truly disregarded everything and seized Chen Ku's opportunity, he would never know peace day or night afterward.
After his expression changed several times, Xuanqiong Daoist silently weighed the pros and cons.
In the end, he could only glare at Chen Ku with a face full of black lines.
"What a detestable brat!"
"Hmph, you truly are as shameless as Jie Yin and Zhun Ti!"
Xuanqiong Daoist snorted coldly, his words brimming with disdain.
He had assumed that after being berated like this, Chen Ku would feel at least a little ashamed.
Who would have thought that, upon hearing those words, Chen Ku showed not the slightest shame? Instead, he held his head high, wearing a smug expression.
It did not matter!
With Chen Ku's thick skin, how could Xuanqiong Daoist's words possibly break his defenses?!
Seeing Chen Ku like this, Xuanqiong Daoist was rendered completely speechless.
In the end, he could only swallow this insult and storm off furiously in another direction.
From beginning to end, the gathered great powers watched this scene with mixed amusement and exasperation.
There was actually someone in the world so brazenly shameless. It was truly an eye-opener.
Though everyone privately despised him,
after this incident, no one dared covet Chen Ku's opportunities again.
After all, everyone feared that this brat would lodge another complaint and turn Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's attention upon them.
It was better to provoke such an unyielding rascal as little as possible.
This allowed Chen Ku to continue without any further disturbance, leisurely collecting all the spiritual treasures around him without missing a single one.
Only after sensing again and discovering that there were no more innate-level spiritual treasures nearby did Chen Ku finally stop.
Only then did he turn his attention to the gains of the other great powers.
Above the Three Pure Ones, divine radiance burst forth, covering the heavens and earth. Several hundred pillars of light soared into the sky, dazzling beyond compare.
Clearly, their gains numbered several hundred spiritual treasures.
Nuwa was no less impressive. With a sweep of her jade hand, she directly seized over a hundred spiritual treasures and stored them away.
Perhaps due to fear of their status as Hongjun's disciples, no one around the Three Pure Ones or Nuwa dared compete with them.
Chen Ku could not help sighing. It truly was easier to thrive with a great tree at one's back.
Chen Ku also saw Jie Yin and Zhun Ti. Though their gains did not compare to those of the Three Pure Ones or Nuwa,
relying on their formidable strength, they had still seized several dozen treasures.
The remaining spiritual treasures were divided among the many other great powers.
Looking around, Treasure Distribution Rock no longer held its former scene of countless treasures and brilliant divine radiance.
"Sigh... it seems these are all the gains I will get."
"How bitter... how bitter..."
Chen Ku let out a sigh.
He knew that even if he continued searching elsewhere, the top-tier spiritual treasures had already been claimed first by other great powers.
In other words, the distribution of treasures at Treasure Distribution Rock had come to an end.
But upon further thought, Chen Ku accepted it.
"Those are great powers who attended the lectures three times. Naturally, they are stronger."
"I only attended once. Being able to gain this much is already quite good."
If the other great powers learned of such thoughts, they would surely vomit blood in anger.
The number of spiritual treasures you have may not be the highest, but their grades are absolutely the most astonishing.
After all, among the countless great powers present, most had obtained Acquired Spiritual Treasures, while Innate Spiritual Treasures were few and far between.
Yet every single one of Chen Ku's treasures was an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
And Chen Ku did not notice that while he rejoiced inwardly and lamented his bitterness aloud,
from another direction, a sinister, icy gaze had already fixed itself upon him.
