Treasure Goes to the One Fated for It? What a Joke!

As they spoke, the gourds on the spiritual vine had already ripened!

"Move!"

No one knew who shouted, but everyone charged toward the gourds!

Every person present was an innate mighty expert at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level!

Whether in spells or speed, they were all among the very best in the Primordial Wilderness!

Yet just as everyone made their move, they discovered that none of them could move at all!

"What is going on? We've all been immobilized—what great expert possesses such ability?!" Laozi asked suspiciously!

At this moment, Laozi was undoubtedly the one with the highest cultivation among them!

As everyone stared at one another in bewilderment, an unparalleled beauty and a monkey stepped out of the void!

The newcomers were Six-Eared Macaque and Caifeng!

"Senior Sister, you really were right. This place is brimming with good treasures! Which gourd do you want, Senior Sister?"

Caifeng looked at the seven gourds, unable to make a choice for a moment!

Six-Eared Macaque said, "Don't trouble yourself over it, Senior Sister. We can simply take them all!"

Caifeng shook her head. "Forget it, Junior Brother. Let's leave them a few. Master said that all things depend on fate. Taking one will be enough!"

The immobilized crowd could not help but feel alarmed when they saw the two arrive!

"Just what kind of expert are they, to immobilize so many mighty experts at once!"

As everyone stood at a loss, Caifeng pointed at a purple-black gourd. "Junior Brother, I want that purple-black one!"

Six-Eared Macaque looked over and saw that although the purple-black gourd had yet to ripen, it emitted endless ghostly light!

He could not help nodding. "Senior Sister has a good eye. Though this gourd has yet to ripen, given time, it will surely become a supreme treasure!"

In their words and manner, the two directly ignored the mighty experts present!

Having said that, Six-Eared Macaque moved to pluck the other gourds!

Six-Eared Macaque plucked every other gourd, leaving only the purple-black one behind!

Then Six-Eared Macaque used great divine power to gather up the Gourd Vine along with all the surrounding soil!

The instant the Gourd Vine was taken away, Nuwa vaguely sensed that she had lost some destined opportunity!

Looking at the six gourds scattered across the ground, Six-Eared Macaque said, "Treasure goes to the one fated for it. We won't take too much either. Divide the remaining six gourds among yourselves!"

"Thank you, Great Immortal! Thank you, Great Immortal!"

Everyone present nodded repeatedly as they spoke!

Then Six-Eared Macaque lay back down on Caifeng's back, and the two departed in grand fashion!

A brilliantly multicolored phoenix appeared in the sky once more, with a monkey lying atop it and eating peaches!

The moment Six-Eared Macaque and Caifeng left, everyone felt their bodies loosen, and they immediately surged madly toward the gourds!

No sooner said than done!

Taiyi brought out the Chaos Bell and covered all six gourds in one stroke!

Laozi shouted, "Brat, how dare you!"

The Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda was immediately brought forth as well, descending to cover the Chaos Bell!

One was an Innate Treasure, the other a Merit Supreme Treasure. For a time, they echoed and countered one another, neither gaining the upper hand!

The others also brought out their spiritual treasures. Light flashed across the field, magical treasures whirled through the air, and everyone plunged into a chaotic melee!

Taiyi, Dijun, Nuwa, and Fuxi instantly formed one faction;

Jieyin and Zhunti, the two fellow disciples, formed one faction;

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun formed one faction!

The Three Purities brothers formed one faction!

In an instant, four forces had taken shape!

Taiyi said, "The four of us are all fated with these gourds. We want four. You can divide the remaining two among yourselves!"

But Zhen Yuanzi said, "I do not want one. I am only helping my worthy brother secure one!"

Fuxi suddenly spoke up as well. "I agree with Taiyi. Or the Three Purities Daoist friends and Daoist friend Hong Yun may each take one. These are treasures of our East, so those from the West should not take part!"

Zhunti had just opened his mouth to speak when Laozi beat him to it!

Laozi said, "Fellow Daoists, we are all people of the Primordial Wilderness. What distinction is there between East and West!"

The moment Laozi spoke, Tongtian and Yuanshi both looked at him!

The two brothers thought, Has Big Brother lost his mind? Why is he speaking up for people from the West!

Zhunti also quietly gave Laozi a thumbs-up!

But it was not because Laozi was kind-hearted!

Laozi understood the battlefield situation better than anyone. If they followed Fuxi's proposal, then the three brothers would only be able to obtain a single gourd!

Rather than that, they might as well join forces with Jieyin and Zhunti.

Once they drove Taiyi and the others away, no matter how they divided the spoils, it would be better than getting only one gourd!

After all, once Taiyi and the others were driven off, the Three Purities brothers would be the strongest among those remaining!

Yet more often than not, schemes never unfold as planned!

Just then, two more figures arrived through the air!

They were Hongjun Saint's attendants, Haotian and Yaochi!

After the two arrived, Haotian haughtily declared, "A treasure has appeared here. By my teacher's command, I have come to claim it!"

Without sparing anyone present a glance, he strode over, took a Purple-Green Gourd, and left in grand fashion!

Seeing that he was a Saint's attendant, no one dared utter a word. They could only watch helplessly as Haotian departed!

That left five gourds!

At once, chaos erupted across the field again, but the factions were completely different from before!

Taiyi and Dijun were one group; Fuxi and Nuwa were another;

the Three Purities, Jieyin, and Zhunti formed one group;

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi formed another!

The three groups began battling fiercely once more!

For a time, none could do anything to the others!

Two hundred years later, while the Three Purities and Taiyi's side

were competing in magical power, Zhen Yuanzi used the Earth Book to sweep up a Purple-Red Gourd, then grabbed Hong Yun and fled into the distance!

Seeing this, the two remaining factions on the field also stopped fighting!

In the end, Taiyi took a Purple-White Gourd, while Nuwa took a Purple-Blue Gourd!

Laozi took a Purple-Gold Gourd, while Zhunti took a Purple-Yellow Gourd!

With the gourds in hand, the various parties departed one after another!

Although Zhunti and Jieyin had only obtained one gourd, they were nonetheless overjoyed!

For one thing, with the strength of just the two of them, obtaining even one gourd was already quite good. For another, they felt that this battle had also forged an alliance between them and the Three Purities brothers!

Zhunti immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Many thanks to the Three Purities, fellow Daoists, for your assistance. This humble Daoist is deeply grateful! Treasures belong to those fated to possess them—those words are indeed true!"

Yet Laozi said, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, there is no need for courtesy. The living beings of the Primordial Wilderness are all one family. What distinction is there between East and West?"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti swept out an arm and said, "The three of you are welcome to visit the West whenever you have the time!"

But at that very moment, Yuanshi and Tongtian received Laozi's signal!

The two struck together and snatched Zhunti's Purple-Yellow Gourd away!

Zhunti and Jieyin were instantly enraged. "What fine Three Purities! Who would have thought you were such people? We'll fight you to the death!"

Jieyin looked at the Three Purities, who were watching them like tigers eyeing prey, and helplessly tugged at Zhunti. "Forget it, Junior Brother. Today, we brothers admit defeat! The West will remember this debt!"

Yuanshi snorted coldly. "Hmph! So what if you remember it? Do you think the Three Purities are afraid of you?"

In Yuanshi's eyes, throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness, everyone aside from Hongjun Saint was trash!
