Treasure Distribution Rock Snatching, Bountiful Harvest

Hongjun's expression darkened, and he finally barked sharply, "Enough! Do you think the Purple Cloud Palace is a place for such reckless antics?"

The crowd fell silent, cowed by the reprimand, yet unwilling to yield, their faces tinged with a pitiful reluctance.

Seeing them like this, Hongjun sighed inwardly, helpless, and could only relent.

"At the rear mountain of Purple Cloud Palace lies the Treasure Distribution Rock, where I have left the spiritual treasures I accumulated while comprehending the Jade Disk of Creation."

"All grades of innate spiritual treasures combined number over ten thousand."

"There are also countless houtian spiritual treasures, some aiding cultivation, others for offense or defense."

"You may go to the Treasure Distribution Rock and claim what fate grants you. Miss the chance, and it's gone."

"Over ten thousand innate spiritual treasures? And countless houtian ones?"

The crowd erupted, their eyes blazing with fervent light.

Even a low-grade innate spiritual treasure far surpassed an ordinary houtian one.

For most beings who only possessed common artifacts, this was a chance to ascend in a single step!

In an instant, none could maintain their dignified bearing. They transformed into streaks of light and shot out of Purple Cloud Palace, moving several times faster than before.

The Three Pure Ones, though already in possession of innate supreme treasures, still wished to reserve spiritual treasures for their future disciples and hurried after them.

Dijun and Taiyi were especially impatient. The Demon Race's vast territory demanded a great many spiritual treasures to arm their kin.

Kunpeng's eyes were dark and calculating as he traveled, scheming how to seize the high-grade treasures.

Hongyun quietly trailed behind Zhenyuanzi, planning to rely on his old friend's protection, slip away while the others fought over the treasures, and avoid entanglement.

In the blink of an eye, only Haotian, Jade Pool, and Hongjun remained in Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun gazed at the empty hall, a smile spreading across his face.

"You two go as well. The Treasure Distribution Rock holds many spiritual treasures whose Dao rhythms resonate with yours."

"For instance, the Space Shuttle, imbued with Space Law, and the Water Cloud Bead, which nurtures Ren Water Spiritual Qi. If you delay, others may take them."

"But Master..." Jade Pool's voice choked with reluctance.

"After I merge with the Dao, if you have doubts, you may still come to Purple Cloud Palace to see me. Now, go claim your treasures."

Hongjun raised a hand, and a pale golden light enveloped Haotian and Jade Pool, teleporting them away from Purple Cloud Palace.

When they reappeared, they stood before a towering black rock.

This was the Treasure Distribution Rock. It rose a thousand zhang, its surface covered in dense Dao Patterns, and the spiritual light of countless treasures made the entire rock shimmer with flowing radiance.

Mid- and low-grade innate spiritual treasures were the most abundant—over ten thousand of them, either embedded in the rock's crevices or suspended in midair.

Their light was soft or rich, scattered like stars across the sky.

Over two hundred high-grade innate spiritual treasures occupied the upper-middle section of the rock, their brilliance dazzling and their Law fluctuations clearly discernible.

Some were sword-shaped, others cauldron-shaped—a wide variety of forms.

Several dozen top-grade innate spiritual treasures were scattered only at the rock's core summit, wrapped in faint Chaos Airflow.

Though they revealed no pressure, they carried a Dao rhythm that stirred the heart.

Around the innate spiritual treasures, houtian spiritual treasures were piled like mountains.

From the Calming Jade Pillow, which aided enlightenment, to the Formation Breaking Saber, which amplified attacks, the variety was truly countless.

"So many spiritual treasures..." Jade Pool's eyes widened, her voice filled with astonishment. Her gaze involuntarily fell on a recess in the rock wall.

There, a pale blue Water Cloud Bead radiated Ren Water Spiritual Qi that resonated with her own. Its spiritual light was warm and gentle—clearly the treasure her master had spoken of.

Haotian gazed at the magnificent sight before him, his fingers unconsciously brushing the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler at his waist as he murmured softly.

"Did Master gather every hidden spiritual treasure in the Primordial Wilderness?"

"With this quantity and quality, I doubt a second such place exists in all the Primordial Wilderness."

He had cultivated for over ten thousand Yuanhui and traveled across much of the Primordial Wilderness, yet he had never seen such a concentrated hoard of spiritual treasures.

Clearly, his master had expended no small effort in preparing this distribution.

After a moment of reflection, he reached out and took Jade Pool's hand, adding with a smile, "Come, let's first claim the treasures that resonate with us."

"Then we'll see if there's anything else useful. With so many treasures, we can lay a stronger foundation for the future."

Jade Pool nodded at his words and then focused intently on gathering the spiritual treasures fated for her.

Haotian collected on his own side. In the blink of an eye, he had already gathered dozens of treasures that resonated with him.

But soon, his gaze was drawn to a black spear wedged in a rock crevice.

Its shaft was covered in dark-gold patterns. Though it leaked no spiritual light, it exuded a chilling aura of slaughter.

Even from hundreds of zhang away, he could feel the Dao rhythm of soul-breaking power within it.

His heart stirred. He reached out with a gesture, and the black spear flew into his palm like a bird returning to its nest.

"This is..." Haotian activated the Primordial Heart Sutra to probe it, and a stream of information flooded his mind. Joy spread across his face.

This was the God Slaying Spear—a top-grade innate spiritual treasure that had fallen in grade! It could ignore defenses and directly attack the Primordial Spirit.

After the War of Dao and Demons back then, it was taken away by Master, I never thought it would be placed here.

More importantly, this spear has already had most of its demonic energy purified by Master, so I can safely collect it.

Thinking this, he moved his mind, gathered Chaos Spiritual Energy at his fingertip, and quickly refined it preliminarily.

The killing aura of the spear shaft was temporarily suppressed by his Space Law, transforming into a black needle an inch long, hidden within his sleeve.

Just as he finished storing the God Slaying Spear, Jade Pool suddenly pointed at another side of the rock peak and shouted, "Senior Brother, look at that lotus!"

Haotian followed her gaze and saw a pitch-black lotus floating silently.

On the twelve black petals, a faint, clear spiritual glow lingered—it was the Twelve-Petal World Destroying Black Lotus.

Also a supreme treasure of Luohu, it had once been able to devour Chaos Spiritual Energy and evolve world-destroying power.

After being purified by Master, its demonic energy had greatly dissipated, but its power remained undiminished, still capable of nurturing the Primordial Spirit and guarding against inner demons.

"Another relic left by Luohu. Master really gathered all these treasures here."

Haotian smiled as he stepped forward, plucked the black lotus, and stored it away as well.

Then the two continued their search, relying on Master's covert guidance and the Primordial Heart Sutra's keen perception of laws.

Any innate spiritual treasure or Houtian spiritual treasure that had affinity with them actively drew near.

In just a few hours, they had already collected over six hundred innate spiritual treasures, with even more Houtian spiritual treasures, and there were still many more fated innate spiritual treasures yet to be taken.

Just then, the sound of tearing air came from afar as Laozi, Venerable Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others arrived one after another.

Laozi saw that Haotian and the others were already there, swept his gaze over the spiritual treasures beside them, asked no questions, and merely nodded slightly at Haotian.

Then he summoned the Taiji Diagram, and the pale black and white qi representing yin and yang swirled, sweeping up all the spiritual treasures within the rock that resonated with his pure Dao Rhythm.

In just two hours, he had collected over two hundred innate spiritual treasures and several thousand Houtian spiritual treasures.

Venerable Yuanshi was not to be outdone; with a wave of the Pangu Banner, fierce sky-opening qi split the Chaos Airflow.

He claimed one Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and over ten High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures from the rock peak.

Along with other compatible spiritual treasures, he obtained over two hundred innate spiritual treasures in total, a number on par with Laozi.
