Dao Ancestor Resolves Karma, Zixiao Palace Distributes Treasures

As a Chaos Spirit Treasure, even though Li Yunjing was born with it, he still hadn't completely mastered it. To refine all ninety-nine restrictions within the "World Grinding Plate" was impossible for Li Yunjing with his current cultivation, even if he lived forever.

Including the top-grade innate spirit treasures "Treasure Dropping Golden Coin" and "Purple Lightning Hammer," Li Yunjing had not fully mastered them either. Top-grade innate spirit treasures contained forty-eight innate restrictions, and only by completely refining them could they be mastered and truly belong to Li Yunjing.

As a low-grade innate spirit treasure, the "Nine Heavens Divine Sword" only had twelve innate restrictions, and it was only after Li Yunjing completely refined and mastered it.

With a total of four supreme treasures protecting his path, Li Yunjing's foundation was established. As long as he could ensure his safety during the Great Tribulation of Investiture of the Gods, that would be the most important thing. Li Yunjing knew the future fate of the Jie Sect all too well.

Now, with the Three Pure Ones not yet separated, it was his best opportunity. Li Yunjing's filial piety towards Laozi and Primordial was no less than that towards his own master. Over the years, he had treated both elders as his mentors, keeping them very happy.

As a salesman from a later generation, Li Yunjing had no shame or integrity. He was filial to both elders, offering them "Enlightenment Spirit Tea," "Five Elements Spirit Fruit," and even strange and rare items he found during his travels, prioritizing them for offerings.

Even Primordial, an elder of extreme dignity, had a much gentler attitude when Li Yunjing visited. He often bestowed good things upon Li Yunjing, and Laozi even rewarded him with a pile of elixirs.

It was worth noting that Li Yunjing's four senior brothers and sisters above him did not receive such treatment. His two senior uncles had not bestowed a single thing upon them, highlighting the difference in how they were treated.

As a person without integrity, Li Yunjing only wanted to keep the two great figures happy so that they would remember his kindness during the future Great Tribulation of Investiture of the Gods and spare him!

In any case, Li Yunjing had no intention of killing the Twelve Golden Immortals under Primordial's command. He would not take any lives, and he was Primordial's good grand-disciple. With so many cannon fodder in the Jie Sect, the Investiture of the Gods could be filled without him. Naturally, his presence would neither add nor subtract much.

Although the Great Tribulation of Investiture of the Gods was perilous, the external crisis for the Jie Sect was not fatal. The key issue was internal matters. Li Yunjing knew that these people in the Jie Sect liked to invite others. If he were invited, it would be troublesome. As one of the five true disciples of the Jie Sect, Li Yunjing could not simply refuse to help.

Not only would his fellow disciples have opinions, but Sect Master Tongtian would surely be displeased. How to slack off and escape the tribulation in the future was something Li Yunjing needed to strategize.

After quickly clearing the battlefield, the two Grand Unity Golden Immortal demonic beasts were covered in treasures. Both the corpse of the Flying Dove and the small river formed by the Black Bear Spirit's blood on the ground were completely cleaned up by Li Yunjing, leaving nothing behind.

Unlike the current customs of the Primordial Desolation, Li Yunjing was thrifty and managed his household well, not letting go of any benefits. These good things could be used to reward the fourth and fifth-generation disciples of the Xuanmen in the future.

With no more demonic beasts blocking his path, Li Yunjing quickly departed and continued flying towards Mount Wuyi.

Upon returning to the blessed land of Mount Wuyi, Li Yunjing first rearranged various formations and restrictions, and then harvested three thousand leaves of "Enlightenment Spirit Tea."

"Alas! The bulk of this batch of spirit tea will still go to the three elders. The other four senior brothers and sisters will also get some. Winged Immortal cannot be left out either, but pitifully, I can only get a small portion," Li Yunjing muttered to himself, looking at the collected tea leaves.

It took Li Yunjing a full hundred years to set up layers of killing formations in the blessed land of Mount Wuyi before he left again and returned to Mount Kunlun.

After returning to the mountain, Li Yunjing sent some "Enlightenment Spirit Tea" leaves to Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Guiling, Holy Mother Wudang, Winged Immortal, and even Primordial's White Crane Boy. He met with them, strengthened their relationships, and then Li Yunjing returned to the Chaos Palace to go into seclusion.

This time, as Li Yunjing moved through the Primordial Desolation, he felt the arrival of Tribulation Qi. Although he could avoid this Heavenly Tribulation as long as he did not leave Mount Kunlun, his low cultivation still gave him a sense of trepidation. Cultivation was the courage of a Qi cultivator; without profound cultivation, powerful divine abilities, and sharp magical treasures, walking through the Primordial Desolation was a joke.

He entered complete seclusion and cultivation, which took over two thousand years. Li Yunjing remained at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. However, after years of refining, his four great magical treasures grew increasingly powerful. With Li Yunjing's magical treasures and divine abilities, few Grand Unity Golden Immortals could be his match. As for the higher-level Grand Unity Golden Immortals, they were not something Li Yunjing should be considering.

As for the other third-generation disciples of the Xuanmen, Daoist Duobao, the senior disciple, was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. It was estimated that after the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation, their senior disciple would break through his cultivation and become the first Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the three Xuanmen sects.

He had been quite close to Daoist Duobao, the senior disciple, over the years. In the future, he would undoubtedly need the senior disciple's help to establish himself after the birth of the human race.

Meanwhile, during Li Yunjing's seclusion, in Zixiao Palace, an old Daoist priest in a purple Daoist robe sat at the head seat, lecturing the three thousand great divine-ability users of the Primordial Desolation on the Primordial Great Dao.

"High is the seat amidst the clouds, the Daoist truth is settled on the meditation cushion.

Beyond the heavens and the earth, the yellow and dark, I shall be the honored sect leader.

Pangu gave birth to Taiji, the Two Forms and Four Symbols follow.

One Dao is passed to the Three Pure Ones, two sects are established, the Chan and Jie.

The leader of the Xuanmen, in one breath, transformed into Hongjun."

This old Daoist was the first Saint of the Primordial Desolation, Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Beside Dao Ancestor Hongjun stood a golden boy and a jade maiden, who would later become Haotian Shangdi and Yaochi Jinmu, the rulers of the Three Realms.

At this point, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's third lecture was complete. He had repaid his karma with the Primordial Continent and bestowed the six Saint positions upon the direct disciples of the Xuanmen: the senior disciple Taiqing Laozi, the second disciple Yuqing Primordial, the third disciple Shangqing Tongtian, the fourth disciple Nuwa, and the registered disciples Jieyin and Zhunti.

The positions of the Saints were decided. After distributing treasures and repaying karma, Hongjun merged with the Dao, which was his predetermined fate and could not be changed.

Hongjun looked at the three thousand great divine-ability users and said, "I have traveled through the Primordial Desolation before and obtained many spirit treasures. Now that I am about to merge with the Dao, these spirit treasures are no longer needed, so I shall bestow them upon you."

As Hongjun finished speaking, the hearts of the three thousand great divine-ability users burned with excitement.

With a casual wave of his hand, the innate supreme treasure "Taiji Diagram" appeared.

"This is the Taiji Diagram, one of the three opening treasures. It is an innate supreme treasure, transformed from three parts of the Pangu Axe. It can suppress destiny, possesses unparalleled defense, calms the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, transforms Yin and Yang and the five elements, discerns the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, and encompasses all phenomena."
