Returning to the Source: Qiankun's Three Treasures
Looking at the now quiet Heaven Measuring Ruler, Cihang smiled.
Cihang was never one to stand up for himself or repay evil with kindness.
That final wisp of the True Fire of Creation was a deadly poison that devoured life force for Randeng.
Although it couldn't completely eliminate Randeng, it was enough to severely injure him.
Don't even think about causing him any more trouble anytime soon.
This period also provided him with an opportunity to rapidly improve himself.
"The mark on the Heaven Measuring Ruler has been removed; now it's time to refine this spiritual treasure!"
Cihang had not forgotten that she still needed a magical treasure to trade with Ao Qin.
However, it would be inappropriate not to mention the grade of the Heaven Measuring Ruler *.
Given his Randeng nature, he would absolutely not give up.
Trading the Heaven Measuring Ruler to Ao Qin would undoubtedly harm him.
This Heaven Measuring Ruler can only remain in my own hands.
"Hmm? Is there some connection between this Heaven Measuring Ruler and the Creation Cauldron?"
Just as Cihang was about to take out the spiritual treasure, divine light emanated from the Creation Cauldron.
The restrictions around the Heaven Measuring Ruler became visible, echoing those around the Creation Cauldron.
Cihang felt as if the two were originally one entity, but had been forcibly separated.
After a long time, as the light gradually faded, the Universe Ruler flew into Cihang's palm on its own.
At the same time, information from Lingbao flooded into Cihang's sea of consciousness.
"The Universe Ruler? This Heaven Measuring Ruler is actually the Universe Ruler."
Cihang looked at the Universe Ruler in her hand with delight.
He also learned of the connection between the Creation Cauldron and the Universe Ruler.
As mentioned before, the Creation Cauldron and the Universe Cauldron share the same origin, both stemming from the Chaos Spiritual Treasure Primordial Chaos Cauldron.
But these two treasures are not all.
To be precise, the Primordial Chaos Cauldron shattered and transformed into four spiritual treasures.
These are the Universe Cauldron, the Universe Diagram, the Universe Ruler, and the Creation Cauldron.
Among them, the Universe Cauldron has the most original essence and is a Primordial Supreme Treasure.
After the creation of heaven and earth, the three Qiankun Spiritual Treasures fell into the hands of the Qiankun Ancestor, thus giving rise to his name, Qiankun.
Unfortunately, in the Dao-Devil War, the Qiankun Ancestor perished at the hands of Luohu.
Among them, the Universe Cauldron and the Universe Diagram fell into the hands of Hongjun, but the Universe Ruler is nowhere to be found.
Unexpectedly, the Universe Ruler ended up in the hands of Randeng, who then modified it into the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
"This opportunity to Randeng is indeed a good one, but now it belongs to me."
With a joyful expression, Cihang began to fully refine the Universe Ruler.
Because it is connected to the Qi mechanism of the Creation Cauldron, the refining of the Universe Ruler is now proceeding very smoothly.
At its peak, the Primordial Chaos Cauldron could refine all things, and it even contained a small area of chaos.
Such a priceless Cihang.
Moreover, even if the Hunyuan Primordial Chaos Cauldron cannot be reunited, the Universe Ruler and the Creation Cauldron still have a chance to merge.
At that time, he will have another top-tier spiritual treasure.
Unfortunately, these two spiritual treasures have already been reborn, and fusing them together is not so simple.
However, Cihang is not in a hurry.
With his current cultivation level, he can barely use a high-grade spiritual treasure, let alone a top-grade spiritual treasure.
With both magical treasures in hand, he will eventually succeed in fusing them.
Perhaps we will be able to reunite at Primordial Chaos Cauldron in the future.
Setting aside all distractions, Cihang began to focus solely on refining the spiritual treasure.
Another century passed, Cihang finally began to acknowledge it as his master.
After the initial recognition of her master, Cihang did not intend to continue the ritual.
His cultivation level is currently limited, and even if he tries to refine it, it will be much less effective.
He placed the Universe Ruler into the Creation Cauldron, allowing the two spiritual treasures to become familiar with each other's aura, in preparation for their future fusion.
Cihang also opened the door to the side hall.
Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun were seen in the courtyard, enjoying tea and discussing philosophy.
"Congratulations on your completion of seclusion, fellow Daoist! The joy on your face indicates another breakthrough!"
Hong Yun gestured for Cihang to come forward and sit down.
"Breakthroughs aren't that easy; it's just that I refined a spiritual treasure!"
Cihang explained with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, have you truly refined the Heaven Measuring Ruler?"
Hong Yun was somewhat surprised, for the Heaven Measuring Ruler contained the mark of Randeng.
However, considering Cihang's magical treasures, removing Randeng's mark would not be difficult.
"It has naturally been refined!"
As she spoke, Cihang took out the Heaven Measuring Ruler, which emitted rays of divine light.
Looking at the Heaven Measuring Ruler, Hong Yun wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak.
Cihang has already recognized it as his master; it's too late for him to say anything more.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on obtaining this protective spiritual treasure!"
Zhenyuanzi had no reservations and directly congratulated Cihang.
As for the Randeng, he didn't really take it seriously.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Cihang smiled and thanked her.
"Now that you have emerged from seclusion, fellow Daoist, you must have stabilized your cultivation level. How about we discuss the Dao once more?"
Zhenyuanzi proposed it again.
"Cihang naturally has no objections; it is Cihang's honor to be able to discuss the Dao with fellow Daoists!"
Cihang immediately showed his delight.
Hong Yun would not refuse either.
The three of them did not get up, and immediately began to discuss philosophy in the pavilion.
After breaking through his cultivation level, Cihang gained new insights from listening to Zhenyuanzi and the other person preach.
Several hundred years passed, and Cihang's vision of the future became clearer.
"My two fellow Daoists, we have been together for nearly a thousand years, but we must eventually part ways."
Now it's time for me to leave!
After the discussion concluded, Cihang also began to consider leaving.
"Fellow Daoist, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Wouldn't it be better to stay here and cultivate and discuss the Dao with us?"
Hong Yun tried to persuade him to stay, though she seemed reluctant.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun is right, it is indeed a bit deserted with only the two of us in Wuzhuang Temple!"
Zhenyuanzi also tried to persuade them to stay.
"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoists, but I ultimately have my own path to walk."
Cihang rejected the two of them once again.
He has remained here for nearly a thousand years; it's time for him to go and find the Golden Spirit Pearl, lest something else happens.
"Very well, since you insist on this, I won't try to persuade you to stay any longer."
However, I hope you remember that Wuzhuang Temple welcomes you at any time.
I still have a few Ginseng Fruit here, fellow Daoist, please take them with you!
Seeing that Cihang was determined to leave, Zhenyuanzi presented her with six more Ginseng Fruit.
He also knew that Cihang was different from them, and now was the time for her to rapidly improve her cultivation.
Although Wuzhuang Temple is good, it lacks experience and opportunities; the outside world is the most suitable Cihang.
"I do not possess the wealth of Brother Zhenyuan, and this Jade Pendant contains the power of a single strike."
"The outside world is dangerous; if you encounter a situation beyond your control, it can serve as a life-saving item!"
Hong Yun also presented a crimson Jade Pendant.
"Thank you both, fellow Daoists. Cihang will take his leave now!"
He accepted the gifts from the two, then leaped onto the phoenix and soared westward.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, are you heading to the Western Paradise?"
Hong Yun frowned, looking in the direction Cihang had left.
"Perhaps it's some kind of fortuitous encounter! Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Cihang has abundant luck; nothing will happen to you!"
Zhenyuanzi led Hong Yun back to Wuzhuang Temple.
Longevity Mountain is located at the intersection of East and West, Cihang quickly entered the West.
The stark contrast became immediately apparent.
Although they were only hundreds of millions of miles apart, as soon as Cihang entered the West, Cihang felt that the spiritual energy had thinned by nearly half.
