If Hongjun heard Chen Ku's words, his face would surely darken again.
Jie Yin and Zhun Ti also knew that this brat was guarding against the two of them.
He had deliberately made the two top-tier spiritual treasures sound worthless because he was afraid they would ask him for them?!
For a moment, both Jie Yin and Zhun Ti glared at Chen Ku irritably.
This little brat had some cunning, and he used it all on his own master and Martial Uncle.
After a long while, the two finally came back to their senses.
No matter what, obtaining the God-Slaying Spear and the World-Destroying Black Lotus was an enormous opportunity far beyond their expectations.
Compared to those, the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand truly was not worth mentioning.
Only then did Zhun Ti say with a laugh that was neither cry nor smile:
"You brat, you really are sly."
"When the three of us went to the Outer Heavens, you gained so much, yet you kept your mouth shut?!"
"If not for what happened today, the two of us probably would never have known that the Thirty-Three Heavens Sand existed."
Zhun Ti jokingly scolded him a few times, his face full of helplessness.
Only now did Zhun Ti finally understand.
Back in the Outer Heavens, Chen Ku had already begun concealing the truth, monopolizing opportunities without letting the two of them know.
Hearing that, Chen Ku merely gave an awkward smile, unable to offer any defense.
However, Jie Yin was quite approving of this.
"Hehe, good, very good!"
"One should not flaunt one's wealth. Do great things quietly. My disciple's conduct truly pleases me."
Jie Yin nodded repeatedly.
Jie Yin and Zhun Ti had always acted from the shadows. To achieve their goals, they would stop at nothing, and once their goals were achieved, they would immediately depart without anyone noticing.
They were unlike Yuanshi, who wished to draw the attention of all beings every time he appeared, putting on an extravagant display.
Of course, in the mouths of other mighty experts, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's conduct was simply "sinister and shameless."
In short, Jie Yin greatly approved of Chen Ku's style of doing things.
After all, quite a few had met disaster through carelessness.
Only by being cautious could one survive safely in the Primordial World.
If one had backing and strength, that was one thing.
But if one had nothing and still acted arrogantly and recklessly without sufficient caution, then death would not be far away.
After a brief pause, Jie Yin said with a smile:
"The Innate Bitter Bamboo, the God-Slaying Spear, the World-Destroying Black Lotus..."
"Now, disciple, your accumulation is even deeper than your master's."
What Jie Yin did not say was that Chen Ku's skin was also thicker than theirs.
After all, thinking back on it, many of his opportunities had been "extorted" through sheer shamelessness.
"Hehe, thank you for the praise, Master!"
Chen Ku replied.
Then Zhun Ti, standing beside him, spoke again:
"That God-Slaying Spear possesses unparalleled killing power. It is an existence no weaker than an Innate Supreme Treasure."
"If we can study it, we will surely gain a fiercer path of attack and slaughter."
As he spoke, Zhun Ti looked at Chen Ku with feigned severity.
"You brat, don't keep it all to yourself!"
"Once we return to the West, take out both treasures and let the two of us study them!"
Zhun Ti settled for the next best thing. Even if he could not fully possess the two supreme treasures, being able to study them would still be good.
Chen Ku agreed without hesitation.
"Hehe, easy enough!"
"This disciple obeys!"
As he spoke, he could not help showing an exceedingly smug expression.
Seeing that expression, Zhun Ti looked even more aggrieved.
Other masters bestowed opportunities upon their disciples, and those disciples treasured them dearly, filled with gratitude.
Yet he had to rely on his disciple's good fortune just to comprehend more profound Dao rhythms.
Being a martial uncle like this was truly too humiliating!
Fortunately, the three thousand mighty experts had already left.
Otherwise, seeing this scene would only make them sneer in contempt and despise Zhun Ti even more.
After chatting and laughing for a long time, the three finally suppressed the joy in their hearts.
"Alright!"
"This time, our gains have been far too astonishing."
"Whether it is the Primordial Purple Qi or the many spiritual treasures obtained by my disciple, all are things that would stir the hearts of countless mighty experts."
"We should return to the West as quickly as possible!"
Jie Yin said sternly.
Hearing this, Zhun Ti also composed himself, while Chen Ku nodded.
He knew that Jie Yin was not worrying without cause.
As the saying went, wealth moved the hearts of men!
What was more, all these spiritual treasures and the Primordial Purple Qi were countless billions of times more precious than ordinary wealth.
For now, everything seemed peaceful and calm.
But it could not be denied that beneath the Treasure Distribution Rock, Chen Ku had attracted far too much attention. More than a dozen Innate Spiritual Treasures were enough to make even Quasi-Saints unable to remain calm.
Furthermore, the two strands of Primordial Purple Qi belonging to Jie Yin and Zhun Ti signified the immense fortune of two future saints attaining the Dao.
One could imagine how many eyes were already watching the three of them from the shadows.
Besides, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti had not yet become saints, and their deterrence over all beings was not particularly great.
There was no guarantee that some supreme mighty expert was not plotting against them in secret.
Thinking of this, the three said no more and immediately set off, flying toward the Primordial World.
This return journey was even swifter than their previous trip to Purple Cloud Palace.
Jie Yin and Zhun Ti revealed their Quasi-Saint cultivation. With each step covering a million li, their figures flashed like streams of light, leaving behind countless afterimages.
Chen Ku also unleashed the great divine ability Star Chasing Moon Grasping. His speed was no weaker than Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's, and he even seemed faintly faster.
Around them, great stars flashed past one after another, cast behind by the three.
However, as they continued onward, Chen Ku could not help frowning slightly.
"This..."
"Why do I have such an ominous premonition? Could there truly be some hidden danger lurking in the shadows?"
Chen Ku keenly sensed that the great divine ability Ziwei Astrology had begun to circulate faintly within his sea of consciousness, making his perception clearer.
One had to know that the Ziwei Astrology divine ability possessed the power to seek fortune and avoid calamity.
That indescribable feeling in the dark was precisely an ominous premonition that could not be put into words.
Moreover, the farther they traveled, the stronger that feeling became.
This was absolutely not without cause!
Though Chen Ku remained silent, his mana had already begun circulating throughout his body. Treasures such as the Ninth Grade Golden Lotus of Merit also shone brilliantly.
Whenever needed, he could sacrifice them with a single thought and keep himself safe!
At the same time, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti gradually revealed solemn expressions as well.
Though they did not possess a divine ability like Ziwei Astrology, as Quasi-Saint experts who had experienced countless battles and killings, they had long developed a keen sense of danger.
At a certain moment!
The scene before the three suddenly underwent a startling change.
Whoosh...
Whoosh...
Around the three, mournful winds suddenly howled, while waves of bleak mist surged forth!
Looking closely, visible fog rose into the air, blotting out the sky and sun as though it were boundless and endless.
One great star after another was swallowed by that mist, no longer visible!
Within the void, vast Dao sounds roared as well, deafening to the ears.
In only a brief moment, the chaos mist not only concealed the sight of the heavens, but also blocked the path of Jie Yin and the others.
Seeing this, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti gradually came to a halt, standing within the chaos void.
"Heh... so something really has happened after all?!"
Jie Yin gave a cold laugh, his gaze dark as he stared at the scene before him.
By this point, they could naturally see that this was not a sweeping chaos storm.
Or rather, it was not the chaotic and disorderly power of the chaos at all.
Something was wrong!
Twelve parts out of ten, something was wrong!
