The reason he had swept away only a hundred or so Innate Spiritual Treasures, rather than all of them, was not that the Taiji Diagram lacked the power. He truly could not do it.
Not a word Hongjun had said was wasted.
Anyone with a destined connection could take one for themselves!
If that connection existed, one could naturally take them all.
But Laozi was evidently connected to only those hundred or so Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Thus, he could take only those treasures and no others.
Seen that way, arriving first seemed almost useless?
Clearly, it was not.
Arriving early was still extremely useful!
After all, an Innate Spiritual Treasure could be destined for more than one person!
If you arrived first and took a treasure destined for you, everyone else destined for that same treasure would see their connection severed!
So arriving early definitely meant you could obtain more Innate Spiritual Treasures!
Though Laozi had not taken them all, he had gained over a hundred Innate Spiritual Treasures, including several High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Naturally, he could not have been more satisfied!
What did you call that?
A windfall that made him rich in one stroke!
The Three Pure Ones might have been born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit and belonged to the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, but poor they most certainly were!
Before this, each of the Three Pure Ones had possessed only one Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and they had acquired those only by dividing up the Pure World Green Lotus.
As the saying went: the red flower, the white lotus root, and the green lotus leaf.
Only Grand Pure Laozi, as the eldest brother, also possessed a companion supreme treasure: the Heaven-Earth Black-Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda.
As for Yuanshi and Tongtian, neither even had a companion supreme treasure.
