The Tianling Clan, along with a host of divine beings, came to welcome the Heavenly Emperor Law Clone and the four individuals, including Li Fan.
The last time Li Fan visited the Grand Unity Palace, it was a scene of splendor. Now, more than half of the golden roof of the divine hall had collapsed. The remaining glazed tiles reflected a blood-red light under the setting sun, a testament to the brutality of the recent war.
The Heavenly Emperor Cangli Clan asked, "What do you four plan to do with Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian? Seal them, or exile them to the Land of Ultimate End?"
Upon hearing that they were to be sealed, Cang Tian and the others showed fear and roared in unison, "Don't seal us! We are willing to swear a Great Dao oath, never to oppose the Solar Star God, Taiyin Star Lord, Doumu Yuanjun, or Goddess Taiyuan. Please do not push us too far!"
Although sealing would not kill them, the loneliness of eons would slowly accumulate, making even despair a luxury. It would be a fate worse than death.
The victor takes all, and the loser accepts defeat. Which Grand Unity being lacked the courage to face death? It would be better to enter Guixu, where there might be a chance for the Grand Unity Dao Fruit to return one day!
Li Fan discussed with Wangshu, Ziguang, and Taiyuan. The three Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, "Sunlight Wheel," "Moonlight Wheel," and "Starlight Wheel," would certainly not be handed over. Meat that had entered their stomachs would never be vomited out.
Goddess Wangshu and Goddess Ziguang were enamored with the "Moonlight Wheel" and "Starlight Wheel," their eyes filled with adoration.
Do not underestimate Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures as mere trifles. There were only thirty-six Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures naturally born in the Primordial World. The elder deities who appeared first had already plundered all the early Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Coupled with the three thousand Innate Divine Beings that appeared later, some of the top-tier Innate Divine Beings were impoverished, lacking useful spiritual treasures, such as the later Demon Master Kunpeng.
Once an Innate Spiritual Treasure reached the Supreme Grade, it had immense value for Grand Unity beings, aiding in enlightenment, self-protection, and suppressing destiny.
There were a few exceptions that could not suppress destiny, but they were a minority. Li Fan knew that the Six Soul Banners and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation were not destiny-suppressing spiritual treasures, which was befitting of the ultimate sage, the Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerate, who was fully buffed!
Empress Ziguang said menacingly, "Throw Cang Tian and the others into the Land of Ultimate End, Guixu. Give these four Grand Unity Supremes some dignity."
As soon as Empress Ziguang spoke, Cang Tian and the others felt cold sweat break out all over their bodies.
As expected of Empress Ziguang, she was truly domineering and decisive in her actions!
Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian knew that their three Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were beyond saving, and it was better to exchange them for their lives.
The Three Heavens respectfully said, "We three are willing to offer our three Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures to Goddess Taiyuan, Taiyin Star Lord, and Doumu Yuanjun, and spare our lives."
Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian's hearts bled. They had suffered a great loss.
Goddess Taiyuan took out the Sunlight Wheel and placed it before Cang Tian. "This has long ceased to be your spiritual treasure. Come, quickly, hand over any other good things you have. There's nothing that can't be discussed."
Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian remained silent.
Taiyuan's gaze turned cold. "Does Xuan Tian have any treasures? I'll give you a chance."
Goddess Wangshu analyzed seriously, "The Four Heavens led by Xuan Tian ultimately belong to the Cangli Clan, so there's no hope there. Cang Tian and the others still have the Three Heavens that previously separated from the Nine Heavens of the Primordial World. Those three Great Thousand Worlds can be put to use."
Li Fan mourned for these four Grand Unity beings...
Li Fan and the other three decided to hand Xuan Tian over to the Cangli Clan for them to deal with, as it was an internal matter of the Heavenly Emperor.
Heavenly Emperor Cangli Clan was very disappointed in Xuan Tian. Betrayers were the most difficult to bear. Xuan Tian was exiled to the Land of Guixu, with no foreseeable date of return!
Li Fan and the other three made Cang Tian and the others swear a Dao oath, guaranteeing with their own Great Dao that they would never oppose Li Fan and the other three, and then they let them go.
Li Fan and the other three were only acting under the guise of Heavenly Emperor Cangli Clan's agreement. The dispute between the Three Heavens and Heavenly Emperor Cangli Clan was a struggle of the Great Dao, a fight to the death.
Li Fan and the others would not be the pawns of Cangli Clan. The Three Heavens were natural guardians of the Heavenly Dao, three Great Divine Powers with immense destiny.
Whether they killed them or sealed them, it would diminish their own destiny. This was because Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian themselves had important missions yet to complete. The Great Dao of the Three Heavens was a part of the evolution of the later "Thirty-three Heavens"!
The Three Heavens were registered with the Primordial Heavenly Dao. The pure Qi of Heaven was a hot potato!
The Thirty-three Heavens, which was the later "Heavenly Court," would surely attract trouble from the Heavenly Dao if its origin was missing and its emergence encountered any accidents.
Cangli Clan knew this to some extent, making the matter of the Three Heavens difficult to handle, which was why they tolerated it.
Otherwise, with Heavenly Emperor Cangli Clan's foresight, how could they not understand the principle of nurturing a tiger that would bring disaster?
Li Fan and the others did not take the three Great Thousand Worlds either. It wasn't an issue of being too greedy, but rather that the destiny of those worlds was neither tasty nor worth discarding.
The Chaos Demon Gods were watching covetously, and who knew when they might attack. Li Fan and the others had no time to protect them. If those three Great Thousand Worlds were destroyed and their inhabitants annihilated, it would significantly deplete their own destiny.
During the last Divine-Demon War, Li Fan and the other three had all been deployed, leaving their base, the Starry Sky, unguarded. If the Chaos Demon Gods invaded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Primordial Heavenly Dao was not yet manifest, and merit and karma did not appear. However, the Heavenly Dao would eventually emerge and settle all accounts, and no one could escape.
In the later Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao emerged. During the war between the three tribes, a large amount of karma descended from the heavens.
The tribes suffered heavy losses, and with karma upon them, their cultivation could not advance. The Ancestral Dragon and other Great Divine Powers were entangled in karma, paying a price beyond ordinary people's imagination!
The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan subsequently declined and withdrew from the Primordial World stage.
Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian returned to their own worlds. The three of them had suffered heavy losses and were injured by the Dao. The only consolation was that the three stolen Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures did not align with their respective Great Dao.
Cang Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Cangli Clan, you just wait! I will make you pay!"
The Three Heavens entered a deep level of seclusion to heal and improve their cultivation.
The Destiny Demon God's face lit up with joy. "Now that the Three Heavens are completely opposed to your Cangli Clan, the tribulation of the Hunyuan Grand Unity blocking the Dao is unavoidable for you, hahaha."
The Grand Unity Heaven contained a large amount of the pure Qi of Heaven. Heavenly Emperor Cangli Clan could even spare a small portion of the pure Qi of Heaven to trade with Li Fan and the other three Supreme Star Gods!
Once Pangu's upper dantian, the "Heavenly Court," emerged, the Three Heavens would undoubtedly be the first in line.
Back when Heavenly Emperor Cangli Clan embarked on the path of "God Merged with Dao," he was essentially half a Chaos Demon God and absolutely could not control the Heavenly Court!
Li Fan knew that the struggle for the Grand Unity Heaven would not end here. The conflict between Cangli Clan and the Three Heavens was irreconcilable.
The fusion of the origin of heaven was the general trend of the Primordial World. Heavenly Emperor Cangli Clan had blocked the path of Cang Tian and the other two, indirectly hindering the progress of the Heavenly Court's emergence!
Like a journey of a thousand miles, traversing space, Li Fan and the other three returned to the Star Realm.
Goddess Taiyuan softly said, "Li Fan, this Sunlight Wheel is compatible with your Solar Great Dao. I'll lend it to you. I owe you a favor for saving my life. You can return it to me when you no longer need it. This Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure isn't useful to me right now."
Li Fan said with a smile, "Saving your life? It wasn't that dramatic. It was mainly Goddess Wangshu's contribution." He secretly thought, Lending it and giving it away are pretty much the same thing now!
Seeing Li Fan's humble demeanor, Wangshu teased with a smile, "Hurry up and accept it. Don't act like you're being taken advantage of when you're clearly benefiting."
Li Fan took the Sunlight Wheel from Goddess Taiyuan. The Sunlight Wheel resembled a curved blade, with a golden crystal core embedded in its center. Fiery white flames pulsed around it.
This Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Sunlight Wheel, possessed great spirituality and was very fond of Li Fan, a Solar Star God.
