Grandmaster Dotes on His Grand-Disciple the Most!

In Zixiao Palace.

Sect Master Tongtian was constantly shuttling through the palace, pulling Qin Hong along.

The spiritual energy within Zixiao Palace was incredibly dense, leaving a sweet aftertaste on the lips and tongue. Amidst this rich spiritual energy were countless profound and mysterious Dao rhymes.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that anyone, regardless of their innate potential, would gain something from staying here for an extended period. And Qin Hong, being Sect Master Tongtian's son, naturally had an exceptional foundation. Thus, after only a short while, he felt immensely benefited.

"Zixiao Palace truly lives up to its reputation as the dojo of the Heavenly Dao Saints!"

After a long silence, Qin Hong could only express his admiration and the shock he felt.

As Qin Hong continued to marvel, Sect Master Tongtian had already brought him to Hongjun's location.

On a high platform before the assembled Saints, an elder with snow-white hair and beard sat cross-legged on a cushion shaped like a yin-yang fish. Merely by sitting there, he exuded an indescribable aura.

While also a Saint, this elder's demeanor was distinctly different from that of Sect Master Tongtian and the other six Saints.

One could see him sitting there with their eyes, yet it felt as if he wasn't truly there. He seemed present, but not entirely distinct.

In Qin Hong's words: Wherever his gaze landed, it was Hongjun, yet it was also not Hongjun!

"Is this... Hongjun, who has merged with the Heavenly Dao?" Qin Hong murmured to himself.

Just as Qin Hong was lost in thought about Hongjun, Hongjun, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them. His gaze fell directly upon Qin Hong.

Now, having merged with the Heavenly Dao, he was the undisputed ruler of the Primordial Era. Nothing could escape his sight or manipulation; there was nothing he couldn't see through.

Yet, at this moment, he couldn't see through little Qin Hong, a mere child.

This situation caused Hongjun a moment of confusion and bewilderment.

Facing Hongjun's slightly questioning gaze, Qin Hong didn't overthink it. He was currently just a little money-grubber.

"Hmm, the Primordial Era's top figure, the Dao Ancestor, the first Saint to achieve enlightenment, my dad's master, my grand-master, hmm..."

The next moment, Qin Hong's small face broke into a smile. Rubbing his little hands together, he trotted up to Hongjun, his eyes sparkling. He spoke in a soft, childish voice, "Grand-master..."

Holy cow!

Amazing!

I'm absolutely impressed!

As his voice trailed off, the Saints who had already been tricked by Qin Hong couldn't help but shiver.

This little guy has no shame!

Tongtian's son is incredible, scamming even the Dao Ancestor!

Just as the Saints were exclaiming their impressment, Qin Hong spoke again, "Grandmaster, my uncles and aunts, and those pretty aunties have all given me meeting gifts."

"They were all very, very good treasures!"

"I'm your favorite little cutie, so yours must be even better, right?"

"Shameless!"

"And 'favorite little cutie'? Who gave you the nerve to speak to the Dao Ancestor like that?"

Aside from Sect Master Tongtian, his "cheap" father, the other five Saints inwardly cursed.

Qin Hong was clearly putting Hongjun on the spot. Not only was he legitimately asking for a meeting gift, but his expectations for the gift were not low either; it had to be at least as good as what the five Saints had given.

Looking at Qin Hong's innocent smile, Hongjun recalled the scene he had witnessed outside Zixiao Palace earlier. His expression remained unchanged, and he lightly parted his lips, saying, "Most of my treasures were distributed on Treasure Distribution Cliff back then!"

"But it's alright, a few are still left!"

As he spoke, Hongjun reached out towards the void with his hand. A lotus platform of black and purple hues floated in the air.

The lotus platform was black and purple, enveloped in dark energy. Just looking at it from afar instilled a sense of killing intent, making one's heart turn cold.

"This is the Twelve-grade Black Lotus of Destruction. I obtained it after defeating the Demon Ancestor Luohu. It's of no use to me here."

"I'll give it to you as a meeting gift!"

What the heck?!

Hearing Hongjun's words and learning that he was giving the Black Lotus of Destruction to Qin Hong, The five Saints' breathing quickened, their eyes reddening with jealousy.

This was an undeniably valuable item, a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure! The Twelve-grade Black Lotus of Destruction was renowned!

Before chaos ended and heaven and earth were formed, in the vast, boundless expanse, the Great God Pangu split the heavens and established the Primordial Era. The Chaos Green Lotus, from which Pangu was born, shattered under the immense pressure of creation.

One of the mature lotus seeds transformed into the thirty-six-grade Green Lotus of Creation.

Later, this Green Lotus of Creation split into three: the red flower became the Heavenly Lord of Morality's Coiled Dragon Crutch, the white lotus root became the Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the green lotus leaf became Sect Master Tongtian's Qingping Sword.

This is also why the saying "Red flower, white lotus root, green lotus leaf; the three teachings are originally one family" came about.

As for the other three immature lotus seeds, they transformed into the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, the Twelve-grade Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, and the Twelve-grade Black Lotus of Destruction.

The Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit is in the hands of the Saint Jieyin from the West.

The Twelve-grade Red Lotus of Karmic Fire is in the hands of Patriarch Minghe of the Sea of Blood.

This Twelve-grade Black Lotus of Destruction was originally the Demon Ancestor Luohu's defensive supreme treasure, impervious to all methods, extremely strong and fierce, exuding a dense killing aura that could disturb the mind and frighten the Dao heart.

In the ancient past, the Demon Ancestor Luohu, relying on this Black Lotus of Destruction, stirred up countless bloody storms, committed heinous sins, and, along with the God-Slaying Spear, formed an unparalleled might with one offense and one defense. The barren state of the West was caused at that time.

Now, this Twelve-grade Black Lotus of Destruction was actually going to be gifted by Hongjun to this brat Qin Hong, and all five Saints were tempted.

However, there was no other way. Who could blame him for being so shameless?

The treasures they, the Saints, had gifted were all good things, with the lowest being a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

If their master Hongjun were to give something inferior, wouldn't that be losing face for him?

In such a situation, they could only give out this top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Damn it!

This brat is too cunning!

Envy, jealousy, and hatred!

The Five Saints: Why don't we have such a brat? He's a complete money-eating beast on four legs!

Sect Master Tongtian: You want one? No way! If you have the ability, go have one yourself!

Unlike the envy and jealousy of the Five Saints, Sect Master Tongtian was in an exceptionally good mood.

He hadn't expected to gain so much from just one visit to Zixiao Palace.

Originally, Sect Master Tongtian had planned to distribute some of his own treasures after returning.

But now, it was all good.

With this Twelve-grade Black Lotus of Destruction, how many in the entire Primordial Era could touch my son?

What a joke!

At this moment, Qin Hong also put the Twelve-grade lotus platform into his embrace, his small face filled with smiles. He opened his little mouth and chattered like a string of beans:

"Grand-Ancestor, you are the kindest to me. Hong'er will definitely be filial to you!"

"In the future, I will also be a person useful to the Primordial Era, just like Grand-Ancestor, bringing blessings to countless beings of the Primordial Era, and acting with fearless spirit like Grand-Ancestor."

Gag...

The expressions of the Five Saints were contorted, clearly wanting to laugh but not daring to do so with Hongjun present.

This brat, he's too damn good at flattering!

A person useful to the Primordial Era? Blessing all beings? And like Grand-Ancestor?

How can you be so capable?

After listening to Qin Hong's words, Zhunti and Jieyin couldn't help but exchange glances: Shameful! Having roamed the Primordial Era for countless years, they realized they only knew the superficialities!
