Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, Obtaining a Supreme Treasure

The Taiji Diagram pulsed with ten thousand rays of divine light and a thousand streams of auspicious colors. Amidst the excited murmurs of the crowd, Hongjun spoke again, "Laozi, you are my eldest disciple. This diagram rightfully belongs to you."

"Thank you, Master!"

As Laozi's expression filled with excitement, the Taiji Diagram flew towards him.

Another Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Pangu Banner, appeared. Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at Primordial and said, "Primordial, this is one of the three treasures of creation, the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure Pangu Banner. It is peerless in attack, can suppress destiny, and possesses the might to tear apart the Primordial Chaos, the power to shatter the myriad heavens and time-space, the function to command the profound mysteries of all laws, and the ability to open heaven and earth."

"Thank you, Master. Your disciple will not fail your expectations." The kneeling Primordial, filled with excitement, received the Pangu Banner.

Hongjun summoned another formation diagram and four killing swords, saying, "Tongtian, this is the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, composed of the Immortal Slaying Sword, the Slaughtering Immortal Sword, the Trapping Immortal Sword, the Absolute Immortal Sword, and the formation diagram. This treasure harms heavenly harmony, thus it has no effect of suppressing destiny. Once this sword formation is set up, it cannot be broken by less than four Saints."

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure!"

Tongtian's heart was filled with excitement upon hearing the words "cannot be broken by less than four Saints." In the future Primordial Desolation, there would be six Saints. The Three Pure Ones would occupy half of them. The remaining three, even united, would not be Tongtian's match. This was utterly satisfying to the competitive Tongtian.

At this moment, Tongtian completely forgot Dao Ancestor Hongjun's warning, nor did he care about the drawback that this treasure harmed heavenly harmony and could not suppress destiny.

"Nuwa, these two spiritual treasures are fated to be with you. The Rivers and Mountains Painting and the Red Embroidered Ball are both Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. I bestow them upon you now."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun produced two more magical treasures and handed them to Nuwa.

Hongjun closed his eyes slightly and remained silent. This made Zhunti and Jieyin extremely anxious. The entire Primordial Desolation was the most barren in the west. During the Dao-Demon Conflict, Hongjun and Luohu fought, shattering the entire western continent. Even now, the western lands had not recovered, and there were few decent treasures in the west.

Although Zhunti and Jieyin were disciples of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, they were merely registered disciples and possessed no valuable items. At this moment, among the Three Thousand Great Divine Abilities in Zixiao Palace, they couldn't even rank in the top ten. Furthermore, there were others who hadn't arrived, such as the Witch Clan. In the entire Primordial Desolation, Zhunti and Jieyin's combat strength might not even enter the top thirty.

Now, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was preparing to merge with the Dao, and many magical treasures would no longer be needed. They had originally expected a surprise, but who knew it would be their turn so soon? Was the Dao Ancestor feigning ignorance and falling asleep?

Zhunti had to pull out all the stops. He cried out, "Merciful Master, pity our western lands, which are so barren. Please, Master, be merciful and bestow spiritual treasures upon your disciple."

"Merciful Master!"

Jieyin, imitating Zhunti, pleaded repeatedly, as if they would have no face to return to the west if the Dao Ancestor did not bestow treasures upon them.

"Very well." Hongjun seemed helpless, as if contemplating. "Although you two are not of the Orthodox Xuanmen, you have achieved great success in the eight hundred side paths and bear the responsibility of educating sentient beings. You should also have two protective treasures."

Hongjun summoned a golden lotus platform and a Demon Subduing Pestle, saying to Jieyin and Zhunti, "This is the Golden Merit Lotus, born from a lotus seed of the Chaos Green Lotus. It is a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Sitting upon it, one can be undefeated. This is the Demon Subduing Pestle, a Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure. I bestow them upon you."

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing these treasures!"

Although they were not as powerful as the Three Pure Ones' supreme treasures, Jieyin and Zhunti were already incredibly satisfied. After all, they were not true disciples, and it was not easy to feign poverty and obtain some benefits.

In the entire Zixiao Palace, the other Great Divine Abilities looked at Jieyin and Zhunti with disdain. However, someone rushed out and pleaded with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, imitating Jieyin and Zhunti.

Only then did the others react. With a clamor, they surged forward, prostrating themselves and begging the Dao Ancestor for mercy and treasures.

"Silence! This is a sacred place, Zixiao Palace. How can you make such a loud commotion!" Primordial's expression turned cold, and he shouted loudly.

As one of the Three Pure Ones, the legitimate descendant of Pangu, and one of the Dao Ancestor's three eldest disciples, having received a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, Primordial disdained the other Great Divine Abilities. His aloof sense of superiority immediately erupted.

However, no one was listening to Primordial at this moment. They continued to plead. Innate Spiritual Treasures could protect the Dao and sever the 'corpse' (a concept in cultivation). Their uses were too great. These Great Divine Abilities, regardless of whether they already possessed Innate Spiritual Treasures, all stepped forward to beg. No one would ever have too many of these good things.

This scene infuriated Primordial, his face turning green. Before he could scold further, Laozi quickly gave him a look, signaling him to quiet down. These people were asking the Master for treasures, which was a good thing. As the three true disciples, they would naturally receive their own benefits later. Why should they prevent this?

The Three Pure Ones had been together since their birth. They had spent hundreds of epochs together and were intimately familiar with each other. As soon as Laozi's look was exchanged, Primordial understood its meaning and immediately shut his mouth, ceasing to speak.

Although the Three Pure Ones maintained their composure and remained silent, their three pairs of eyes were fixed on Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If the Dao Ancestor were truly moved by the others, the three of them would not hesitate to follow suit. As direct disciples, they naturally could not receive fewer benefits than these outsiders!

Hongjun looked at the crowd and said expressionlessly, "In the chaos not far from Zixiao Palace, I have left the Treasure Distribution Rock. Some unused spiritual treasures are all there. You may go and try your luck."

Having received the Dao Ancestor's approval, the Three Thousand Great Divine Abilities bowed and dispersed, quickly leaving Zixiao Palace and heading for the Treasure Distribution Rock in the chaos.

Soon, everyone gathered. The Treasure Distribution Rock indeed emitted infinite treasure light, with thousands of spiritual treasures floating above it.

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones displayed the might of the Orthodox Xuanmen. The three of them took the lead, rushing to the forefront and being the first to reach for these spiritual treasures.

Laozi waved his large sleeve, and nearly a hundred spiritual treasures were collected into his embrace. Laozi smiled with satisfaction, feeling that these were the spiritual treasures fated to be with him. He did not take any more.

Primordial waved his large sleeve and also displayed his divine abilities, seizing over two hundred Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Tongtian gained the most. With a wave of his sleeve, spiritual treasures of all sizes, as many as five to six hundred, were swept into his sleeves.

The Treasure Distribution Rock had only three to four thousand Innate Spiritual Treasures in total. With the Three Pure Ones' actions, nearly a thousand magical treasures were taken. This showed the immense fortune of the Three Pure Ones, occupying one-third of the Primordial Desolation.

The results for the Demon Race's Heavenly Court were unexpected. Di Jun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and other high-ranking members obtained less than two hundred Innate Spiritual Treasures in total.

It seemed the Demon Race indeed did not receive the favor of the Heavenly Dao.

Other Great Divine Abilities with shallow destinies obtained none, while ordinary Great Divine Abilities each received one or two Innate Spiritual Treasures.
