God-Slaying Spear and World-Destroying Black Lotus, Two Supreme Treasures are Born!

Within Purple Cloud Palace, the former liveliness and clamor were gone!

Hongjun didn't rush to speak, but instead looked at Chen Ku with a meaningful gaze.

Seeing this, the latter became even more frightened!

After all, his identity as a transmigrator was his greatest secret, and one that absolutely could not be known by outsiders.

Once exposed, he would inevitably be seen as an anomaly.

Therefore, it was no wonder that he was so frightened and uneasy.

For a long time, the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive, almost suffocating.

Chen Ku bit the bullet and said:

"Master Ancestor, why... why did you keep this disciple behind?"

After a pause, Chen Ku put on a pitiful expression.

"This disciple has always been diligent and conscientious, just like Master Jie Yin and Uncle Zhun Ti, wholeheartedly dedicated to revitalizing the Western Sect, with no other intentions."

"Even when traveling between heaven and earth, I am always tolerant and have never harmed the innocent."

"This disciple... this disciple is completely a good person."

Chen Ku's words were a preemptive strike.

Hongjun, as the Dao Ancestor, claimed to treat all living beings equally, without any selfish thoughts or ulterior motives.

Even if he wanted to attack him, he would need a reasonable reason, right?

As for Hongjun.

Hearing Chen Ku's words, he was first stunned, then his expression became strange.

Tolerant in every way? A good person?!

Hmph!

Did this kid think he knew nothing?

He should know that Hongjun was aware of how Chen Ku, together with Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, forcibly seized Old Ancestor Ming He's opportunity under the Innate Banana Tree.

For this kid to say he was a good person, he really had a thick skin.

Hongjun was speechless.

Of course, the reason he deliberately kept Chen Ku behind wasn't to seek justice for Old Ancestor Ming He.

The ownership of a mere Plantain Fan was not enough to affect the overall situation, and didn't require Hongjun's excessive attention or concern.

After pondering for a moment, Hongjun said in a deep voice:

"Chen Ku, there was something in the Outer Heavens that you obtained."

"However, that thing should not belong to you."

Hongjun spoke vaguely, seemingly because it was inappropriate for him, as the Dao Ancestor, to "covet" the opportunity of a junior.

Hearing these words, Chen Ku's heart sank, and he thought of something.

However, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.

The Dao Ancestor mentioned the Outer Heavens? In that case, it wasn't because his identity as a transmigrator had been exposed.

If that was the case, then other matters were not a big problem.

His face didn't reveal anything as he pretended to be confused and puzzled, saying:

"Outer Heavens?!"

"Master Ancestor is indeed all-knowing. This disciple, along with Master and Uncle, did enter the Outer Heavens."

"However, it was empty, desolate, and lifeless. The three of us only collected some Star Sand."

"If there is anything inappropriate, this disciple will go find Master and Uncle and have them return the Star Sand."

As he spoke, Chen Ku immediately pretended to leave Purple Cloud Palace to find Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

Behind him, hearing Chen Ku's response, Hongjun's expression froze even more, utterly speechless.

Did this kid really not understand the meaning behind his words?!

Or was he deliberately beating around the bush, trying to divert the topic and escape?

It had to be said that Chen Ku was probably the only one who dared to play such petty tricks in front of the Dao Ancestor.

This child was not only thick-skinned, but also as cunning as Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

Hongjun thought to himself, and simply stopped pretending.

With a sigh, he spoke again:

"What I am referring to is the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand!"

"Know that a snake tries to swallow an elephant with insatiable greed."

This time, Hongjun completely stated it clearly.

Not bad!

His goal is precisely the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand!

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ku, who had been feigning confusion, suddenly froze.

So that's it!

The Thirty-Three Heavens Sand doesn't have any other heaven-defying effects; its only significance lies in the future establishment of the Heavenly Court.

In that case, without a doubt, Dao Ancestor Hongjun specifically asked him for that treasure for the sake of the future Heavenly Court.

At this thought, Chen Ku couldn't help but secretly gasp.

The Witch and Demon Calamity hasn't even fully begun and erupted yet. Could it be that Hongjun has already discerned the future trend of the great forces?!

Immediately afterward, Chen Ku denied this speculation!

That's absolutely impossible!

Even the Dao Ancestor can't do that!

Perhaps Hongjun just vaguely sensed that the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand shouldn't be obtained by anyone.

At this thought, Chen Ku relaxed a little.

However, although he understood Hongjun's meaning, Chen Ku wasn't prepared to hand over the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand so easily.

He turned to look at Dao Ancestor Hongjun, his face already full of unprecedented sorrow and grievance.

"This... Ancestor, that Thirty-Three Heavens Sand is also one of this disciple's opportunities."

"Since this disciple has sensed its location, according to reason, it should belong to this disciple."

"Moreover, this item is also a rare great fortune for my Western Sect, enough to benefit the Western living beings."

"I hope Ancestor will have pity on this disciple's sincere heart."

Chen Ku didn't respond to Hongjun's words. Instead, he spoke in this way, emphasizing the importance of the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand to himself and even to the Western Sect.

Hearing this, Hongjun's expression was calm, and he didn't say a word.

If it were any other cultivator, they would have handed over the treasure without a second word, and even begged Dao Ancestor Hongjun for forgiveness.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ku dared to speak so righteously, looking as if he would never hand over the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand.

But what kind of person is Dao Ancestor Hongjun?!

In just an instant, he understood Chen Ku's meaning!

This kid... is negotiating with him.

How does the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand have anything to do with your Western Sect?!

To put it bluntly, the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand isn't as important as Chen Ku said.

He's just relying on the trump card of having that treasure in hand to demand enough benefits.

What the hell...

Under the shroud of endless immortal light, Hongjun was already covered in black lines, utterly speechless.

Troublesome!

Too troublesome!

Even when facing the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others, they were all obedient to Hongjun.

But today, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

However, Hongjun clearly sensed that the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand was extremely important and must not be easily given up.

If he allowed it to remain in Chen Ku's hands, it would have a shocking impact on the future Heavenly Dao trend.

Therefore, Hongjun was determined to obtain it!

Of course, with his strength, if he directly snatched it without explanation, Chen Ku would naturally have no way to resist.

But Hongjun couldn't do that.

First, a dignified Dao Ancestor snatching the opportunity of a junior. What would the living beings think if this were to spread? Where would the Dao Ancestor's prestige be?

Second, now that the three lectures were over, Hongjun was about to begin merging with the Dao.

The more critical the moment, the more he couldn't be contaminated with the slightest karma, otherwise it would inevitably affect the progress of the merger.

In other words, he still had to follow Chen Ku's wishes to have a chance to retrieve the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand.

Glancing at Chen Ku unhappily, Hongjun sighed inwardly.

"Since that's the case, this seat won't force anyone to do something difficult."

"This seat will exchange two treasures for your Thirty-Three Heavens Sand, is that alright?"

Before he finished speaking, Hongjun lightly flicked his sleeve.

In an instant, two supreme and dazzling immortal lights burst out, wrapped around two top-level treasures with overwhelming and terrifying auras.

"These two treasures, one is the God-Slaying Spear, and the other is the Twelfth Grade Black Lotus of Destruction!"

"Like this... you kid can hand over the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand now, right?"

Looking at the two divine lights above his head and listening to Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words.

For a time, Chen Ku's expression changed, shocked beyond measure!
