My, My, All Mine!

"Wait!"

"Grand Martial Uncle, I was bullied by a demon sage who used his superior strength against me!"

After distributing the Primordial Violet Qi, Shi Yu leaned on his cane and limped pitifully to the platform beneath Old Ancestor Hongjun.

This was why he had dressed himself up like this. To win sympathy by acting pitiful, both genuine emotion and props were indispensable.

Zhunti and Jieyin looked at Shi Yu with his fully equipped performance and suddenly felt that, when it came to acting pitiful, they seemed inferior to their martial nephew.

"Grand Martial Uncle..."

Hongjun looked at Shi Yu's state, chuckled, then waved his hand and removed the "equipment" from his body.

"Dao Ancestor, this is truly a misunderstanding. Besides, Bifang was slain by Senior Brother Taiqing, and Yingzhao was severely wounded. The Karmic Connection has already been repaid!"

Di Jun rose and stepped forward, bowing to Hongjun.

Hearing this, Shi Yu looked at his master and arched his brows, meaning:

"No way, Master. You killed Bifang? Why didn't you tell me..."

Taiqing smiled faintly, then helplessly nodded, meaning: "Disciple, you never asked."

For a moment, Shi Yu felt awkward. His master was really setting him up. Something as important as his master standing up for his disciple—shouldn't he have made a grand announcement about it?

"Disciple, look. I've already slain Bifang and avenged you~" his master said casually, stroking his beard.

"Wow~~"

"Master, you're amazing~"

The above was purely Shi Yu's fantasy. Unfortunately, why couldn't his own master have said something to his disciple? Now he had embarrassed himself in front of the entire prehistoric world...

"Grand-disciple!"

"Stop fooling around and hurry back!"

Old Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, sending Shi Yu to Taiqing's side. He saw the faint smile appearing and disappearing on Taiqing's face.

"Master, you set me up!"

"How so, Disciple? Where did that come from?"

Shi Yu immediately deflated like a balloon. Tomorrow's high-temperature warning—speechless~

After a few minor interludes, Hongjun began the next part of his plan.

Hongjun waved his hand, and several Spiritual Treasures radiating powerful auras began circling around him.

"Taiqing, you are the senior-most disciple of the Xuanmen and should teach and transform all living beings! I bestow this Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, upon you! This treasure was formed from the axe blade's back of Pangu's Axe."

The Taiji Diagram was black and white overall, surrounded by countless rays of light and multicolored auspicious clouds. "Great Dao Prophetic Words" encircled the outside of the diagram, while "Heavenly Dao Talismans" flickered within it.

"Yuanshi, I bestow upon you the Innate Supreme Treasure Pangu Banner. This treasure was formed from the axe blade of Pangu's Axe."

A black-and-yellow banner flew toward Yuanshi. The Pangu Banner was filled with the baleful energy of the Dutian Gods and Demons, and one side depicted Pangu's World Creation.

"Tongtian, you are skilled in the sword path. I bestow upon you the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram. These four swords are all top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"When the four swords are combined with the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram, they form the Zhu Xian Sword Formation. It cannot be broken without four Saints!"

The Four Swords of Zhu Xian transformed into four streaks of light and flew to Tongtian's side. Tongtian also stored away the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram.

"Nuwa!"

"Huh? Master, you have something for me too?"

"Of course. I'm not playing favorites!"

Hongjun waved his hand, and several Spiritual Treasures flew before Nuwa.

"This item is the Shanhe Sheji Tu. It contains Qiankun and forms a world of its own. Together with the Red Embroidered Ball, it can determine marriages!"

"Teacher, what about this furnace? What does it do?"

Nuwa extended her hand and gently poked the large golden cauldron beside her.

"This is the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron. Its uses are infinite, and it possesses the ability to transform acquired items into innate ones!"

"This Qiankun Cauldron was a Supreme Treasure belonging to an old friend of mine. Please treat it well!" Hongjun said softly. In that battle back then, Qiankun and Yin-Yang had both been slain by Luohu...

Zhunti and Jieyin watched as Sanqing and Nuwa all received treasures, while the two brothers had nothing.

Having seen Shi Yu's example, they decided to bring props this time as well.

Zhunti condensed a ball of light, on which images of the West's misery continuously played. He immediately knelt down.

"Teacher, our West is poor..."

"Ever since the Dragon-Han Tribulation, not only has the West had few living beings, but it has also had pitifully few Spiritual Treasures!"

Seeing how hard his junior brother was working, Jieyin began crying as well. A man's knees were worth gold, and today was the day to cash them in!

"That's right, Teacher. Our West has no great treasures to suppress its destiny! Please give us something to preserve what little destiny our West has left and give the living beings of the West an explanation."

Hearing this, the corner of Hongjun's mouth twitched. He truly had not expected such shameless people to exist in the prehistoric world. Why had he accepted the two of them as nominal disciples back then?

"These are the Merit Golden Lotus and the Jia Chi Shen Chu."

The Merit Golden Lotus could suppress destiny and preserve the destiny of their West!"

After sending Zhunti and Jieyin away, Hongjun spoke again.

"All the Spiritual Treasures I obtained while traveling through the prehistoric world have been placed on Treasure Distribution Cliff. Those with the affinity may take them!"

Hongjun waved his hand. The scene shifted, and a group of powerful cultivators appeared on a mountain cliff.

At the mouth of the cliff stood a huge stone, upon which countless Spiritual Treasures had been arranged, quietly awaiting those with the affinity to claim them.

The group of powerful cultivators used their various divine abilities and flew toward Treasure Distribution Cliff.

"Master, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"First come, first served!"

Shi Yu patted his master on the shoulder, urging him to set out quickly.

"Hahahaha, why are you in such a rush?"

The image of a Taiji Diagram appeared beneath Taiqing's feet, and a white jade golden bridge appeared from thin air, connecting to Treasure Distribution Cliff.

"These Spiritual Treasures are fated to be mine!"

Several Spiritual Treasures rose into the air and fell into Taiqing's hands. They were the Li Di Yan Guang Qi, the Eight Views Palace Lantern, and various other treasures...

Yuanshi and Tongtian each obtained the Spiritual Treasures fated to them. Tongtian obtained the most. At that moment, Lingbao Tianzun truly became Lingbao Tianzun.

"Oh my, there are so many Spiritual Treasures! These few look pretty good. I'll take these!"

Nuwa's own strength was already extraordinary, so Spiritual Treasures were merely embellishments to her. She therefore chose a few attractive ones, such as the Precious Lotus Lantern.

Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance and hurriedly flew toward Treasure Distribution Cliff. This was an opportunity that would be impossible to find even with a lantern.

"Senior Brother, I feel that our West is about to rise!"

"Mine! They're all mine!"

Zhunti's eyes lit up. He reached out for a Spiritual Treasure radiating auspicious light, but just as he was about to touch it, a tremendous force surged over and knocked him back.

It turned out that Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi had made his move. Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said, "This item has a greater affinity with me."

Zhunti was furious, but he could not lose his temper. He had clearly spotted it first!

Jieyin set his sights on a dark-blue pearl and was just about to claim it when Kunpeng beat him to it. Jieyin's expression darkened.

At that moment, the struggle on Treasure Distribution Cliff grew increasingly intense. All kinds of spells were being cast without pause, and it had already turned into a battle of magic.

"Senior Brother, I only managed to grab a bamboo stalk and a sack..."

"Junior Brother, I'm about the same. I grabbed a straw figure and a treasured canopy..."

Zhunti looked at the utterly ordinary straw figure in Jieyin's hand and sensed a vague unease. An invisible Karma lingered around it.

Suddenly, a golden light passed by the two of them, and the straw figure in Jieyin's hand vanished.

"Fellow Daoists, this item is fated to be mine!"

The newcomer was none other than Tai Yi. The straw figure he had snatched was called the Ding Tou Qi Jian Shu, a Supreme Treasure of curses.

Zhunti and Jieyin widened their eyes. Their hearts were filled with resentment, yet they could do nothing...

"Wow, Third Martial Uncle, you struck it rich!"

Shi Yu looked enviously at Tongtian, who had suddenly become a tycoon. Tongtian had obtained the Hunyuan Golden Dipper, the Dinghai Divine Pearls, and a whole pile of other Spiritual Treasures.

"Wow, Second Martial Uncle, you didn't do badly either!"

"Huh? Master, why did you only take these two? Look at Second Martial Uncle and Third Martial Uncle. They accepted everything that came their way..."

Shi Yu looked at his master, who had only taken a few Spiritual Treasures, though all of them were high quality.

Taiqing quietly came to Shi Yu's side and said softly:

"Disciple, the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi is in your hands, isn't it?"

"???"

"How did you know, Master? I hid it so well!"

He had never told his master that he had obtained the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi.

"Disciple, there are only two Houtian Merit Supreme Treasures in the prehistoric world. One is my Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda..."

"How do you think I knew?"

Shi Yu suddenly understood. "Master, are you saying that Houtian Merit Supreme Treasures can sense one another?"

Taiqing nodded. The master and disciple now possessed three Supreme Treasures between them. If they took too many on Treasure Distribution Cliff, they might attract the Heavenly Dao's special attention—in short, Heaven's jealousy~

After the treasure distribution was complete, just as Hongjun was about to reclaim Treasure Distribution Cliff, Shi Yu suddenly spoke.

"Grand Martial Uncle, can you give me this Treasure Distribution Cliff?"

"???"

Since I can't take too many Spiritual Treasures, surely I can take Treasure Distribution Cliff itself, right?
