The True Master of the Creation Jade Tablet

The purple-gold qi in the sky spread ever more intensely.

After a very, very long time, it finally coalesced with great difficulty into a spiritual treasure.

This treasure, as it turned out, was a massive disc.

The disc emitted some strange and bizarre lights that made it impossible to see clearly.

As soon as this treasure appeared, it was as if a volcano had suddenly erupted deep within a thousand-zhang layer of ice.

In that moment, the entire Primordial World erupted into an uproar.

Countless people cried out in shock.

A faint trace of fear seemed to permeate the air.

"This... this is the Creation Jade Tablet..."

"Why has it appeared so early?"

"Such a powerful Creation Jade Tablet, and it's only ranked eighth?"

"I never imagined the original form of the Creation Jade Tablet was a disc..."

"It's over... my faith has crumbled..."

"The Primordial World is beyond saving... the strongest treasure is only ranked eighth..."

At this moment, all beings in the Primordial World fell into chaos.

Let alone these later generations of the Primordial World.

Even among those Innate Lifeforms, very few had ever seen the Creation Jade Tablet.

But that didn't diminish their longing for it.

The Creation Jade Tablet had even become their faith.

They never expected the Creation Jade Tablet to manifest at this very moment.

After all, this was the most renowned treasure in the Primordial World.

It was truly hard to imagine.

The treasure that made Dao Ancestor Hongjun what he was.

The one hailed as the number one treasure of the Primordial World.

And yet, it only appeared at the eighth spot on the ranking...

That meant the seven treasures ahead of it all surpassed the Creation Jade Tablet.

Just then, the Grand Dao Script manifested.

["Eighth on the Treasure Ranking: Creation Jade Tablet. Supreme Chaos Treasure. Possesses the Power of Wuji of the Chaos Law. Records the true essence of all life. Wuji transforms into myriad paths, serving as the source of all paths. Master: Chang Kong. (Hongjun)"]

Starting from the Creation Jade Tablet, the Treasure Ranking ascended to another level.

From the 100th to the 24th spot on the Treasure Ranking, all were Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

From the 23rd to the 9th spot, all were Primordial Treasures.

Now, starting from the 8th spot, everything became supreme Chaos Treasures.

And the Creation Jade Tablet, itself a Chaos Treasure, was only ranked eighth.

That meant there were at least seven Chaos Treasures ahead of it...

It was truly somewhat unbelievable.

Everyone knew that the Primordial World contained three Chaos Treasures.

They were the Heaven-Opening Axe, the World-Creating Pure Lotus, and the Creation Jade Tablet.

After the Heaven-Opening Axe split the heavens, it transformed into three Primordial Treasures.

The World-Creating Pure Lotus also transformed into countless innate spiritual treasures.

The Creation Jade Tablet was also shattered into fragments.

But in comparison, the Creation Jade Tablet still retained part of the power of a Chaos Treasure.

Thus, the Primordial Beings had always believed the Creation Jade Tablet was the top of all treasures.

They never expected it to appear at the eighth spot...

That meant

several treasures had been hidden all along, never revealed to anyone.

The Primordial Beings also came to understand the difference between Chaos Treasures and Primordial Treasures.

The power of a Chaos Treasure lies in the Chaos Law.

Meanwhile, the power of a Primordial Treasure and an Innate Spiritual Treasure lies in the Great Dao.

The Chaos Law naturally surpasses the Great Dao...

At that moment, the Primordial Beings suddenly discovered that the name of the Creation Jade Tablet's owner was actually Chang Kong.

Hongjun's name was still behind Chang Kong's.

This discovery instantly stunned the Primordial Beings.

What was going on?

The Creation Jade Tablet was clearly in the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Why did the owner column display Chang Kong instead?

Where was the problem?

All the Primordial Beings felt their mouths dry, unable to speak.

At this time, the one named Little Erbi spoke again:

"The Chaos Treasure Creation Jade Tablet has already shattered into fragments. It seems most of the fragments are in the hands of this person named Chang Kong. Perhaps the twenty-four pieces in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's possession are only a small part..."

"Is that so?"

The billions of Primordial Beings finally came to their senses.

It was indeed possible, as Little Erbi had said.

Most of the fragments were in the hands of that person named Chang Kong.

Only a small portion was in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's hands.

The entire Primordial World boiled over at this moment, erupting in uproar.

Everyone had assumed that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Creation Jade Tablet would surely top the list.

Never did they expect it to appear only at eighth place.

And moreover, the true owner of the Creation Jade Tablet was not Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

This was somewhat awkward...

In the Heavenly Court, the two figures Emperor Jun and Taiyi also wore cold sneers on their faces.

The two of them had always harbored resentment toward the Dao Ancestor.

Because when the Dao Ancestor preached, he had bestowed the opportunity to become a Sage upon others.

This caused the two of them to miss their chance at Sagehood.

They had held a grudge ever since.

Now that this change had occurred, the two of them actually felt a secret satisfaction in their hearts.

In the Ancestral Witch Grand Hall, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were also sneering coldly.

This Primordial World was created by their Father God.

After Father God died, this Dao Ancestor Hongjun came to throw his weight around in the Primordial World.

How could this not create a knot in their hearts?

Especially during the last decisive battle between the Witch and Demon Clans, when they were on the verge of defeating the Demon Race, this Dao Ancestor stepped in to stop them.

It truly infuriated them.

Now, this ranking naturally gave them secret satisfaction.

Apart from the Witch and Demon Clans, the several Sages were also exchanging bewildered glances.

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, within the Purple Cloud Palace, which was filled with chaotic aura, two Attendants were also dumbfounded.

These two Attendants were Haotian and Jade Pool!

After their Teacher merged with the Dao, the two of them were left to oversee the Purple Cloud Palace.

At this moment, before Haotian and Jade Pool stood an old man with white hair and a gloomy expression.

This person was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Since transforming and merging with the Dao, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had not appeared for a very long time.

Unexpectedly, he had now returned to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Though his hair and beard were white, his bearing was extraordinary—sharp brows like swords, eyes like stars, a spirit both elegant and imposing.

Every gesture and movement carried the flow of the Great Dao's rhythm.

Yet at this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's complexion was deathly pale, appearing extremely weak.

When Jade Pool and Haotian looked down, they were suddenly struck speechless with shock.

There, on Dao Ancestor Hongjun's chest, was a large patch of blood.

That patch of blood seemed to shimmer with a black light...

Clearly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was badly injured.

"Dao Ancestor, what has happened to you?"

Haotian and Jade Pool hurried forward to support him.

Under their assistance, the Dao Ancestor sat down in the seat of honor.

"It is nothing! You may withdraw for now."

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun stared darkly at the Creation Jade Tablet floating in the air.

Beneath that emotionless, still gaze seeped a layer of icy cold.

"I thought everything in the Primordial World was already within my grasp..."

"Who would have thought so many changes would arise..."

"Not only has Rahu returned..."

"but a host of other chaotic saints have appeared as well..."

"This one named Chang Kong... is no easy opponent either..."

"Unexpectedly, the Creation Jade Tablet in my hands is only a small fragment..."

"It seems... new challenges have emerged..."

Holding the fragment of the Creation Jade Tablet, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's gaze swept across the entire Primordial World.

In that moment, he once again became the supreme Dao Ancestor!

Ruling over the countless billions of beings in the Primordial World, the supreme and unrivaled existence...

After a moment, he looked up again at the Hongmeng Purple Gold List hanging in the sky.

"What kind of thing is this? Its power is so formidable? Not only did it wound me, but it also blocked my Heavenly Dao Will..."

He pondered for a long time but found no clue.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun then sat quietly in the seat of honor, closing his eyes in deep thought.

At that moment, another disturbance stirred in the sky.
