Mount Sumeru, the Grand Hall.
Golden lotuses bloom inside the hall, surrounded by auspicious clouds.
Jieyin and Zhunti to a seat on the Cloud Platform.
Jiang Yun stood to one side, holding a jade scroll in his hands, which recorded in detail the Spirit Land Construction and the cultivation progress of his fellow disciples.
"Senior brother, our Spiritual Treasure has gained a lot from this trip to the Purple Sky Palace."
"However, apart from a few top-grade treasures such as the Green Lotus Precious Color Banner, the rest of these Spiritual Treasure are not of much use to the Two. It would be better to bestow them upon our disciples to enhance the foundation of our Western Teachings." Zhunti held the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, his gaze sweeping over the large Sumeru Mustard Seed Space beside him, looking at the many Spiritual Treasure displayed within, a smile on his face.
Jieyin slightly, his face showing compassion. "Good."
The revival of the Western Region is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires the concerted efforts of all its disciples.
"Bestowing Spiritual Treasure will also help them to cultivate better and build their Spirit Land in peace."
Previously, Jiang Yun had already summoned the disciples stationed at various Spirit Land back to the mountain through the Star Gate.
Then, every so often, Evasion Light would fly out from the Star Gate and land on the plaza not far from the mountain gate.
The first to arrive in the main hall was the Yaoshi, dressed in a plain white Daoist robe with a medicine pouch hanging at his waist, radiating a pure and luminous light.
As the second disciple to Jieyin, his cultivation had reached the Early Taiyi Golden Immortal, making him the disciple with the highest cultivation level besides Jiang Yun.
"Disciple greets Master and Uncle-Master." The Yaoshi bowed respectfully, but his gaze inadvertently swept over the Spiritual Treasure displayed in the Sumeru Mustard Seed Space. When he saw the golden Demon-Quelling Pestle, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
The Jieyin smiled gently, "Yaoshi, you have presided over the Spirit Land Construction in the Miasma Jungle of the Northeast, purifying millions of miles of Poisonous Miasma; your Merit is immense. I hereby bestow upon you the Demon-Quelling Pestle, the Fish Gut Sword, and the Treasure File to assist you in subduing demons and purifying heaven and earth."
The Yaoshi accepted the three Spiritual Treasure with both hands, and immediately felt a pure power surging into his body from the Demon Subduing Pestle, complementing his own Cultivation Method.
He solemnly bowed in gratitude. "Your disciple will certainly live up to your expectations, Master, and will ensure that this Spirit Land of Northeast China recovers its vitality as soon as possible."
Next to arrive was Maitreya, with a round, smiling face, a large belly, and an optimistic demeanor.
Upon Zhunti him, Zhunti couldn't help but laugh and said, "Nephew Maitreya, you seem to be doing quite well in the Southeast Lava Rift Valley. I heard you even subdued a few Fire Qilin?"
Maitreya scratched his head and chuckled, "Uncle-Master, you're wise. Those Qilin were only willing to help move the Earth Fire because they were greedy for the Fire Spirit Pill I made."
Zhunti shook his head and chuckled, then raised his hand and bestowed upon him the Golden Cymbals, the Flower Crown, and the Banner Flag: "These three Spiritual Treasure are in harmony with your temperament. The Golden Cymbals can subdue demons, the Flower Crown can gather all things, Banner Flag can set up Great Formation."
The Lava Rift Valley is a harsh environment; with these three treasures, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Maitreya accepted the treasure with a joyful expression. The Golden Cymbals rang out clearly in his hand, eliciting smiles from everyone.
Ksitigarbha followed closely behind Maitreya. He always appeared composed and rarely smiled. Jieyin saw that Maitreya's cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal Peak, just one step away from the Taiyi, he nodded with satisfaction.
"The environment of the Southern Gobi Desert is harsh. It is truly remarkable that you were able to cooperate with the Phoenix Clan to open the Spirit Cleansing Pool and draw upon the Moonlight Essence to neutralize the Earth Fire." Jieyin said, bestowing upon him the Nine-Ringed Monk's Staff, the Ruyi Precious Bead, and the Karma Mirror. "These three treasures all possess the power of salvation. The Karma Mirror can observe the Karmic Retribution of sentient beings, which is perfectly suited to your path of cultivation."
Ksitigarbha clasped his hands together and respectfully accepted the gift.
When he obtained the Karma Mirror, a Golden Light flashed across its surface, reflecting his various good and bad deeds in this life, giving him a deeper understanding of the Way of Causality.
Sunlight and Moonlight arrived together, and only after Ksitigarbha paid his respects did the two step forward.
They emanated the Solar Essence and the Yin Qi of the Moon Star, respectively. The Jieyin saw that their cultivation had reached the Late Golden Immortal, and that they were cooperating seamlessly with the Western Sea Dragon Palace in the Southwest Swamp. He nodded in satisfaction.
"Sunlight, your nature is as fierce as fire. This Sun Wheel and the Sunlight Precious Bead are bestowed upon you to help you harmonize Yin-Yang," the Jieyin said, then looked at the Moonlight. "Your nature is as gentle as water. This Moon Wheel and the Moonlight Precious Bead are just right for you."
You the Two must remember this well: the balance of Yin-Yang is the right path.
The Two bowed respectfully in thanks.
Upon acquiring the Sunlight Precious Bead, it instantly transformed into a small Sun hovering behind his head; the Moonlight Precious Bead transformed into Mingyue, slowly rotating behind Moonlight. The intertwining of Yin-Yang Two Energies created a wondrous scene of the sun and moon shining together within the hall.
The disciples Jieyin came in one by one in a line, while the disciples of Zhunti entered the hall in groups.
After Zhao Gongming, the Three Xiao, and Kinnara met outside the palace, they rushed over in a flurry, led by Zhao Gongming.
As Zhunti Direct Disciple, he bowed respectfully upon entering and said, "Master, I'm late! The West Sea Dragon King insisted on taking me out for drinks, saying it was to celebrate the Hurricane Plains' Spirit Land area exceeding three million li..."
Zhunti laughed and scolded, "Since you are my personal disciple, you need to be more composed. I know you are free-spirited and easy-going, and you like to make friends, but you shouldn't be too unrestrained." As he spoke, he took out Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, "This treasure is destined for you. It can calm the storms of the four seas and suppress all waters."
Since you have a good relationship with the Western Sea Dragon Palace, with the help of this treasure, you will be able to better build the Hurricane Plains.
Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up when he saw the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl. He took the treasure and couldn't put it down. He was already in the Late Golden Immortal and was beginning to prepare for the Grand Unity Realm.
Twenty-four Treasure Pearls swirled around him, each seemingly containing a vast ocean, causing the hall to be filled with misty vapor.
Then Zhunti looked at the Three Xiao Sisters.
Yunxiao was composed, Qiongxiao was gentle, Bixiao was lively. The three of them standing together were like snow lotuses blooming on Frozen Plains.
Upon Jieyin to them, he learned that their cultivation had reached the Mid Golden Immortal, with Yunxiao almost reaching the Golden Immortal Peak realm. Moreover, he noted that the three of them had achieved considerable success in building Spirit Land in the extremely cold region, and he nodded in approval.
"The Frozen Plains are well-constructed," Zhunti a smile. "The three of you have the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper, so you have no shortage of weapons for attack. I will bestow upon you the four treasures Jeweled Necklace, the Golden Bell, the Golden Vase, Umbrella Cover."
"Jeweled Necklace, Golden Bell Golden Vase, Umbrella Cover Shrouding the Heavens —perfect for the three of you."
Bixiao, being the most lively, took the Golden Bell and gently shook it; the clear sound of the bell refreshed everyone in the hall.
Qiongxiao unfolded the Umbrella Cover, revealing a star pattern embroidered on its surface. With a gentle turn, starlight fell down, providing unparalleled defense and making it excellent for protection.
Next up Kinnara, who had rushed back from the Eastern Spirit Mountain, still carrying with him the pure essence of some of the spirit herbs and Spirit Plants unique to the Spirit Mountain.
As a disciple who was on good terms with Qingfeng and Mingyue, he was most relaxed and at ease during the Spirit Land Construction.
"Kinnara," Zhunti bestowed upon him Golden Bow and Silver Arrow, "This treasure can shoot down demons and vanquish evil spirits."
Although the Eastern Spirit Mountain boasts the best environment, it is also prone to attracting covetousness. With this treasure guarding it, one can surely ensure their safety.
Kinnara took the bow and arrow and immediately felt a sharp energy soaring into the sky. Although he was not a master archer, he was still overjoyed to have obtained this treasure.
Besides these direct disciples and Inner Disciple, many outer disciples were also bestowed with treasures. However, their treasures were all acquired Houtian Spiritual Treasure refined by Jieyin, Zhunti, and others. Jiang Yun would arrange for them to be distributed according to everyone's cultivation level, so I won't go into details.
