It Was Actually the Taiji Diagram

Unexpectedly, the final strand of Primordial Violet Qi had been obtained by Hong Yun instead, leaving Kunpeng intensely jealous.

"Humph, Hong Yun, just you wait. That strand of Primordial Violet Qi will be mine sooner or later!"

Kunpeng secretly steeled his heart.

Once he had the chance, he would kill Hong Yun and seize the Primordial Violet Qi.

Similarly, Ancestor Minghe's gaze toward Hong Yun also held a sinister edge.

He coveted this strand of Primordial Violet Qi just as much.

Moreover, his Netherworld Blood Sea had lost ninety percent of its power in Hong Yun's hands, so naturally he bore a grudge against him.

However, he knew that Hong Yun was stronger than himself, so he did not dare attack him for the time being.

Besides, he still had to evade the Blood Mosquito Daoist's pursuit, leaving him in an extremely sorry state.

"It seems that according to the original trajectory, this Primordial Violet Qi still ended up with me!"

"But... why did Dao Ancestor Hongjun scheme against me?"

At this moment, Hong Yun, who had obtained the Primordial Violet Qi, wore a delighted expression on the surface, but his mind was constantly turning this over.

Why had Dao Ancestor Hongjun schemed against him?

Not only had it ultimately caused his death and the dissipation of his Dao, but even this Primordial Violet Qi had been secretly reclaimed by him.

"Could the problem lie with the Primordial Violet Qi?"

Hong Yun deduced inwardly.

If the problem lay with the Primordial Violet Qi, that meant Dao Ancestor Hongjun needed it as well.

But since he needed it, why had he given it away?

And he had given away all of it!

"Not leaving a single strand behind, giving it all away, so that not one strand of Primordial Violet Qi remained on his person."

"Then, at some point, he reclaimed the Primordial Violet Qi..."

Hong Yun pondered.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"That's right, a certain moment! The most important moment for Dao Ancestor Hongjun next should be when he merges with the Heavenly Dao!"

Hong Yun seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

Hongjun would merge with the Heavenly Dao!

The reason he had given away all the Primordial Violet Qi on his person now was to confuse the Heavenly Dao of the Great Desolation!

"Could there be some mystery hidden within this?"

Hong Yun shook his head. He definitely could not uncover anything deeper.

Only Hongjun himself would know.

But the problem definitely lay with the Primordial Violet Qi, and the timing should be when Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao.

"Also, why was I the one being schemed against? Could it be because I'm a good-natured person?"

Hong Yun was not too sure either, but he cursed inwardly.

Afterward, Hong Yun stopped delving into the matter.

If his deduction was correct and Dao Ancestor Hongjun needed to use this Primordial Violet Qi when merging with the Heavenly Dao,

then...

he would have a chance to resist Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Perhaps by then, he could even give Hongjun a huge surprise.

"Fellow Daoists, I have placed a Treasure-Splitting Rock in the chaos! Upon it are the magic treasures I used throughout countless ages. I shall now distribute them to all of you!"

Inside Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun continued speaking from the upper seat.

"What? A Treasure-Splitting Rock?"

"My heavens, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is going to distribute the treasures he accumulated over countless ages to us?"

"This... this is simply wonderful!"

"Where is the Treasure-Splitting Rock? I'm going to split the treasures!"

"Exactly! This time in Purple Cloud Palace, I understood nothing, obtained no Primordial Violet Qi, and failed to become the Dao Ancestor's disciple. I absolutely can't be left out of this treasure distribution!"

Hearing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was going to distribute treasures, everyone became excited.

These were treasures collected by Dao Ancestor Hongjun over countless ages.

They could be said to be worth half the combined wealth of the Great Desolation's mighty figures.

Now, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was actually going to distribute these treasures to them. How could they not be excited?

At this moment, a glint also flashed through Hong Yun's eyes.

"There really are many treasures on Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Treasure-Splitting Rock! There may even be Innate Supreme Treasures!"

"If I can obtain these treasures, putting everything else aside, they will definitely help increase my battle prowess!"

Hong Yun thought to himself.

One had to know that in this treasure distribution, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would even give away Innate Supreme Treasures.

It had to be said that once someone became a Saint—especially a Saint like Hongjun, who was preparing to merge with the Heavenly Dao—even Innate Supreme Treasures no longer caught his eye.

However, treasures above the level of Innate Supreme Treasures, such as fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation, were things Dao Ancestor Hongjun would never take out to distribute.

To be honest, the three lectures in Purple Cloud Palace might not have helped Hong Yun as much as obtaining several genuine Innate Supreme Treasures would.

On the other side.

Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, Dijun and Taiyi, and the others also revealed delighted expressions.

"I originally didn't have many magic treasures. Now that Teacher is distributing treasures, this can make up for my shortcomings!"

Nuwa thought inwardly.

"We Three Pure Ones do possess Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, as well as quite a few other Innate Spiritual Treasures, but we alone lack an Innate Supreme Treasure! If we can obtain one this time, we'll be satisfied!"

The Three Pure Ones thought to themselves as well.

"The Western Lands are too impoverished. Teacher truly shows concern for us. If we can receive enough treasures, the revival of the Western Lands will be just around the corner!"

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, both seeing the urgent desire in the other's eyes.

For the Western Lands to rise again, they could not do without a large number of magic treasures.

In particular, the higher the grade of the magic treasures, the better.

Previously, the seven gourds from Buzhou Mountain had not been obtained by them. If they now acquired Dao Ancestor Hongjun's treasures, those seven gourds would no longer amount to anything.

"Our Demon Clan must possess more powerful magic treasures if we wish to defeat the Witch Clan! One Eastern Emperor Bell alone is not enough!"

Dijun and Taiyi pondered this as well.

The others all looked toward Dao Ancestor Hongjun, waiting for him to tell them where the Treasure-Splitting Rock was.

After all, the chaotic void was simply too vast.

If they searched for it themselves, they might not find it even after decades or centuries.

"I have already placed the Treasure-Splitting Rock in the chaotic void. Those destined to find it shall obtain it!"

Hongjun said indifferently.

He would likewise see each person's fortune in this treasure distribution.

"All treasures will be given to those destined to receive them. If you fail to obtain any treasures, do not force the matter!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun left them with this final sentence before his figure flashed and disappeared from Purple Cloud Palace.

Hong Yun knew that the next time he saw Dao Ancestor Hongjun, it would probably be when Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The moment Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice fell, countless mighty figures in Purple Cloud Palace transformed into streaks of light and flew toward the chaotic void.

They had to find the Treasure-Splitting Rock as soon as possible. Only then could they obtain its treasures.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti, Dijun and Taiyi, Kunpeng, and the others all flew rapidly out of Purple Cloud Palace one after another to search for the Treasure-Splitting Rock.

At this moment, Hong Yun slowly stood up. While everyone was distracted, he put away the Great Dao Cushion and placed the ordinary cushion he had used earlier back in its original position.

"Most of the treasures from Dao Ancestor Hongjun's treasure distribution will ultimately be obtained by Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, and Jieyin and Zhunti!"

"This shows that he did not place the Treasure-Splitting Rock randomly, but deliberately!"

Hong Yun pondered inwardly.

Those supposedly destined to obtain it—who would believe that? Anyone who did was a fool.

Everything was within Dao Ancestor Hongjun's calculations.

"And I must find the Treasure-Splitting Rock ahead of everyone else. I can't search aimlessly like the others!"

Hong Yun smiled faintly.

He had absolute confidence in finding the Treasure-Splitting Rock this time.

One had to know that, perhaps in everyone's eyes, the strongest mighty figures in the Great Desolation were Nuwa, Taiqing, and Yuanshi, who had reached the late stage of the quasi-Saint realm.

But in reality, Hong Yun was the strongest.

Not only was he the strongest, even the three late-stage quasi-Saint experts combined might not withstand a single finger of his.

There was no doubt that cultivating the Mythical Grand Unity Method was simply this powerful.

More importantly, Hong Yun had cultivated the Mythical Great Sky Archery Technique. His eyesight was far beyond that of the Great Desolation's mighty figures.

In fact, even the range his divine sense could investigate was less than one ten-thousandth of the range visible to his eyes.

Buzz!

Hong Yun came alone to the chaotic void and circulated his ocular power, looking around.

Soon, he locked onto the location of the Treasure-Splitting Rock.

"So it's there!"

Hong Yun nodded.

The distance from his current position to the Treasure-Splitting Rock was extremely far.

Even flying at full speed would take around ten years to reach it.

Without the enhancement of the Mythical Great Sky Archery Technique's ocular power, relying solely on his divine sense to search would probably take decades without success.

"Huh?"

At this moment, in Hong Yun's vision, the direction in which the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others were flying was also the location of the Treasure-Splitting Rock.

However, they seemed not to have discovered the Treasure-Splitting Rock. Instead, they were flying forward, guided by a certain feeling.

Moreover, they were not flying in a straight line. They searched as they flew.

"With them flying around like this, they definitely can't be faster than me going directly there!"

"But then again..."

Seeing this, Hong Yun thought of a way to cause trouble.

Afterward, Hong Yun found the Great Desolation's mighty figures from Purple Cloud Palace searching everywhere for the Treasure-Splitting Rock.

"Fellow Daoists, have you found the Treasure-Splitting Rock?"

Hong Yun looked toward the few people ahead and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, none of us have found it. Where exactly is this Treasure-Splitting Rock?"

The few people looked anxious and dejected.

The Treasure-Splitting Rock was simply too difficult to find.

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to hurry. I think everyone should follow the Dao Ancestor's disciples. Perhaps they'll find the Treasure-Splitting Rock first!"

"If you search aimlessly like this, they may finish distributing all the treasures on the Treasure-Splitting Rock before you even find it."

Hong Yun said.

"That's right! That's right! How did I not think of that?"

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun truly has great wisdom! We'll go find the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the others right away and follow in their footsteps!"

"Let's go, let's go! If we aren't faster, all the treasures will be gone!"

The few people immediately began searching for the figures of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti. They soon locked onto their location and flew over.

Several days later.

One person told ten, and ten told a hundred.

Almost half of the three thousand guests of Purple Cloud Palace understood the shortcut to finding the Treasure-Splitting Rock.

That was to follow the six disciples of Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

Whoosh!

After Hong Yun finished everything, his figure flashed and transformed into a streak of light that traced an arc through the chaotic void.

He did not fly straight toward the Treasure-Splitting Rock, but went around the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the others.

Otherwise, if they discovered him, it might attract their attention.

Ten years later.

Hong Yun finally arrived before the Treasure-Splitting Rock.

The Treasure-Splitting Rock was enormous, resembling a small island suspended in the void.

Countless treasured lights flickered upon it.

However, every treasure was covered by a powerful seal.

Hong Yun first came before the first treasure.

"This... is the Taiji Diagram!"

Seeing that the treasure resembled a gigantic painting, with earth, wind, water, and fire flowing across it, while endless mountains and rivers were fixed within, Hong Yun immediately guessed its identity.

Sizzle, sizzle!

Without another word, Hong Yun began refining the seal upon the treasure.

Only by refining the seal or breaking through it by force could he obtain the treasure inside.

Hong Yun examined it. To break the seal enveloping this treasure, one probably needed the strength of a late-stage quasi-Saint, and it would take several days even then.

Fortunately, Hong Yun had arrived extremely quickly, while the Great Desolation's mighty figures, including the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, would need more than a decade to find this place.

Hong Yun had enough time to refine these seals.

Half a month later.

Hong Yun finally finished refining the seals covering this treasure.

Swish!

With a wave of his hand, the painting fell into Hong Yun's hand.
