How Dare You Try to Rob Me

By now, everyone in the prehistoric world understood that the six Meditation Cushions at the front belonged to Hongjun's six disciples.

But after taking Nuwa as his disciple, Hongjun said nothing more about accepting disciples.

Seeing Hongjun fall silent, Jieyin and Zhunti immediately unleashed their ultimate technique.

"Wuwu, Dao Ancestor, the West is barren. The two of us endured countless hardships to come here and listen to your teachings. We beg the Dao Ancestor to take pity on us and accept us as disciples."

Jieyin and Zhunti cried rivers of tears and snot. They even deliberately mentioned the desolate, barren West that had resulted from the great battle with Luohu.

"Sigh, so be it. You have no affinity with me, but the West's barrenness is karma I must bear. Today, I shall accept you two as registered disciples to repay this karma."

Hongjun did not want to take them in either, but the karma of the West was there, leaving him no choice.

"This disciple is willing! This disciple kowtows to Master and wishes Master eternal longevity!"

Registered disciples were still disciples. Something was better than nothing, so Jieyin and Zhunti immediately kowtowed.

"This is the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, a Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure with unparalleled defense. I bestow it upon you."

"This is the Vajra Divine Pestle, a Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure. Take it to protect yourself."

Looking at the Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures in their hands, then at the Xiantian Supreme Treasures held by the Sanqing and Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti felt bitter inside. Direct disciples really were different, but they did not dare say it aloud and could only endure it in silence.

"In three thousand years, I will continue teaching the path of the Quasi-Saint. You may disperse!"

After saying that, Hongjun vanished before anyone could react.

Seeing Hongjun leave, the great powers also departed one after another.

However, the Sanqing and Nuwa looked toward the sleeping Xuan Yi.

"Ahhh~~"

"That was such a comfortable sleep."

Only now did their protagonist, Xuan Yi, awaken.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xuan Yi, for your guidance."

Seeing Xuan Yi wake up, the Sanqing hurried over.

"Senior Brother? What senior brother?"

Xuan Yi had no idea what had just happened.

"The Dao Ancestor has accepted us as disciples, and since Senior Brother is the Dao Ancestor's son, we should naturally address you as Senior Brother."

"Ah? This... all right."

Seeing how serious the Sanqing were, Xuan Yi could only agree.

"Senior Brother, we will return to Kunlun Mountain first to digest the insights we gained from this lecture, so we will not disturb you any longer. We hope Senior Brother will visit Kunlun Mountain when you have time, so that we may show you proper hospitality."

After bidding Xuan Yi farewell, the Sanqing departed.

"Xuan Yi, thank you."

After the Sanqing left, Nuwa came to Xuan Yi's side with a flushed face.

"Hey, why be so polite between us?"

"By the way, I have something for you."

With a wave of his hand, Xuan Yi produced the Xiantian Supreme Treasure, the Flowing Light Colorful Robe.

"Nuwa, my father prepared this for his future daughter-in-law. Now, it is yours."

The words "daughter-in-law" made Nuwa's already crimson cheeks turn even redder, looking so enticing that one could hardly look away.

"The Dao Ancestor has already bestowed a supreme treasure upon me. I cannot accept this."

Nuwa thought the father Xuan Yi spoke of was Hongjun and hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.

"Take it. It was prepared for you in the first place."

Before Nuwa could refuse again, Xuan Yi handed the Flowing Light Colorful Robe to her.

"Nuwa, let me take you home. Father's lecture has just ended, and you need to digest what you gained this time as well."

Xuan Yi took Nuwa's hand and headed out of Zixiao Palace.

The forgotten Fuxi wept silently behind them.

"Little sister, you forgot your brother here."

Before he had time to lament any further, Fuxi hurried after them.

The moment the three entered the chaos, they encountered Jieyin and Zhunti, who had been waiting there.

"Boy, I've finally caught you. Hand over all the spiritual treasures on you."

"Such precious treasures are not something a mere Heavenly Immortal like you can possess."

Both men believed Xuan Yi relied on spiritual treasures to cross the chaos, and that their grade had to be extremely high. Otherwise, they could not have withstood the Chaos Gale.

The great powers who had not gone far immediately stayed to watch the show. If Xuan Yi truly possessed supreme treasures, they also wanted to seize the chance to get a share.

"Do not go too far!"

"If you want to make trouble for Xuan Yi, you must defeat me first."

Nuwa leaped in front of Xuan Yi.

"If you want to bully my little sister, this brother-in-law won't allow it."

After being a background character the entire way, Fuxi finally had his moment to shine.

"Nuwa, Fuxi, this is a grudge between us and this boy. It has nothing to do with you."

"This boy is only a Heavenly Immortal. If you choose a Heavenly Immortal as your Dao Companion, are you not afraid of disgracing the Dao Ancestor?"

The two men were truly shameless, trying to use Dao Ancestor Hongjun to pressure Nuwa. Unfortunately for them, they had chosen the wrong target.

"Who I, Nuwa, choose as my Dao Companion is none of your business!"

Nuwa was like an enraged lioness, wishing she could tear the two apart.

"Nuwa, let me handle this."

Xuan Yi understood that if he did not show some ability today, many more people like Jieyin and Zhunti would appear in the future.

He might as well beat them senseless in one go and crush any such thoughts.

"But your cultivation..."

In Nuwa's eyes, Xuan Yi was only a Heavenly Immortal. She did not want him to get hurt trying to prove himself.

"Don't worry. I'm not that simple."

After gently stroking Nuwa's cheek, Xuan Yi walked over to Jieyin and Zhunti.

If my husband suffers even the slightest harm, I will pursue you to the ends of the earth and fight you to the death.

Watching Xuan Yi approach the two, Nuwa silently swore in her heart.

"Don't you want magical treasures?"

"Are these enough?"

A golden light flashed. Xuan Yi held the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler in his left hand and the God-Slaying Spear in his right. He wore the Taixu Armor, stood upon the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, had the Qiankun Cauldron floating above his head, the Yin-Yang Mirror before his chest, and the Heavenly Stem Diagram circling around him.

"Holy shit!"

"So many Xiantian Supreme Treasures! So many Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures!"

"What kind of absurd luck did this Heavenly Immortal stumble into? No wonder he could cross the chaos. Give this many spiritual treasures to a pig, and it could do it too!"

"..."

The great powers watching from nearby instantly had bloodshot eyes. Some of the stronger ones could no longer suppress the greed in their hearts and flew toward Xuan Yi, intending to kill him and seize his treasures.

Jieyin and Zhunti were practically drooling. Born in the barren West, they had never even touched a Xiantian Supreme Treasure.

After exchanging a glance, the two immediately circulated their mana and attacked Xuan Yi.

"You overestimate yourselves. I do not even need to use spiritual treasures against you."

"Let me show you the might of Heavenly Punishment."

Xuan Yi put away his spiritual treasures, and the Eye of Heavenly Punishment between his brows instantly opened.

"Rumble!"

As the Eye of Heavenly Punishment revealed its might, lightning coiled around Xuan Yi's body, while a despairing power of destruction surged from between his brows. In the once-peaceful world of chaos, a gigantic eye appeared. Cold and merciless, it radiated waves of destructive aura, as though it would destroy this entire stretch of chaos in the next moment.

"That is the Eye of Heavenly Punishment! This boy can control Heavenly Punishment? Impossible! How can anyone control Heavenly Punishment?"

"No, we will not rob you anymore! Spare us!"

The appearance of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment made everyone consumed by greed feel the threat of death.

"Too late. Die."

As Xuan Yi's words fell, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment blazed with light, unleashing a torrential downpour of lightning.

In only an instant, everyone who had tried to kill him for his treasures was reduced to ash, leaving not even a trace behind.

"Splat."

Two charred black lumps fell before Xuan Yi. They were Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Hmph. If you were not still useful to Heavenly Dao, that attack would have turned you to ash."

The power of Heavenly Punishment could even destroy Saints, so naturally it could kill the two of them. Xuan Yi had merely spared their lives because they still had some use to Heavenly Dao.

But neither of them was in good shape. Their entire bodies had been carbonized, and lightning occasionally flickered through them as they twitched. Without a close look, no one would recognize them as once being humanoid beings.

"What about you? Do you want to try it too?"

Xuan Yi asked the great powers around him who had not acted just now.

"No, no, no! We'll leave immediately."

The terrified great powers fled in an instant.

Too terrifying. Fighting someone who could control Heavenly Punishment was simply courting death. Fortunately, they had not acted earlier. Everyone who escaped felt grateful for their wise choice.

At this moment, Nuwa and Fuxi's jaws had dropped. When the great powers had charged toward Xuan Yi, Nuwa had been prepared to risk her life to protect him. Yet Xuan Yi had casually summoned the power of Heavenly Punishment and wiped them all out.

Fuxi, meanwhile, rejoiced that this thigh was worth clinging to. Not only was Xuan Yi's background invincible, but his strength was terrifying as well.

"Come on, Nuwa. Let me take you home."

After waking Nuwa from her shock, the three flew toward Buzhou Mountain.
