Qin Mu watched, his heart filled with emotion.
No one else knew, but he understood perfectly well.
Hong Yun seemed to have obtained the seventh Primordial Violet Qi, but that was precisely what would bring a deadly calamity upon him in the future.
Just then, a living being looked toward Ancestor Hongjun on the Dao platform:
"We beg the Dao Ancestor to take pity on us!"
"Please bestow treasures upon us as well!"
Though the Primordial Wilderness' mighty figures had come to hear the Dao and learned how one could become a Saint,
compared with the Three Pure Ones and the others, who had received the Foundation of the Great Dao—the Primordial Violet Qi—and treasures from Hongjun,
they had, in truth, gained nothing at all.
Deep down, they naturally felt quite unwilling to accept this.
At this point, they could hardly worry about saving face.
Even if they had to beg for treasures from Ancestor Hongjun, that was better than leaving empty-handed.
Hearing those words, many of the mighty figures present gazed at Hongjun with burning eyes.
Hongjun remained calm at the sight.
The next moment, he gave a slight wave of his hand.
When they looked again, a towering mountain of treasures had appeared in the nearby void.
From its cliffs, ten-thousand-foot rays of rosy light shot out, while countless auspicious auras swirled around it.
Moreover, the entire cliff was as translucent as jade.
In many places, innate Dao Patterns were etched into its surface.
Each one seemed to embody the fundamental principles of heaven and earth.
What shocked the mighty figures of the Primordial Wilderness even more was this:
Countless beams of treasure-light shot skyward from the cliff, and many spiritual treasures could be seen arrayed upon it.
Swords, bells, pagodas, seals... it had everything.
Each treasure also radiated a heart-stirring pressure, a clear sign of its extraordinary nature.
Qin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured in admiration:
"So this is the Treasure Distribution Cliff?"
Just then, Hongjun spoke calmly:
"I traveled throughout the Primordial Wilderness and gathered many treasures here. You may each obtain them according to your own fortune."
As Hongjun spoke, his voice was utterly tranquil.
But to the many mighty figures present, his words rang out like thunder.
The beings who had received no treasures earlier were especially fired up. One by one, they rubbed their hands together, looking ready to rush in at any moment.
"Charge!"
For a brief moment, no one knew who had shouted first.
Then all the mighty beings in Zixiao Palace sprang into action, transforming into streaks of light as they rushed toward the Treasure Distribution Cliff.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Boom! Boom..."
The Three Pure Ones were no exception.
With a wave of Taishang's hand, spiritual treasures such as the Yangzhi Jade-Cleansing Bottle flew into his sleeve.
Yuanshi was no slower, claiming treasures including the Jade-Clear Box and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
Tongtian went straight for a whole collection of spiritual treasures.
Nuwa swooped in and quickly gathered treasures, including the River-Mountain Sheji Map and the Seven-Star Moon-Wrapping Whip...
Jieyin and Zhunti flashed rapidly around the Treasure Distribution Cliff, claiming one spiritual treasure after another: ribbons, necklaces, canopies, flower garlands...
The other mighty figures of the Primordial Wilderness were also frantically plundering the cliff.
Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, Minghe, Kunpeng, Hong Yun, Zhenyuanzi...
For a time, spiritual treasures surged across the cliff, and laws clashed.
The entire empty space shook as they fought over the treasures.
Qin Mu stood motionless where he was.
He stared at the Treasure Distribution Cliff, his expression grave as he thought to himself:
"These mighty figures are incredibly powerful."
"I'm only a Golden Immortal. Even if I went over, I wouldn't be able to snatch anything."
"I might even get caught in the crossfire as they fight. If I'm not careful and die there, it won't be worth it!"
It wasn't that Qin Mu didn't want to compete for treasures.
He simply lacked the strength.
Before long, the mighty figures had plundered every treasure from the Treasure Distribution Cliff.
They returned, all wearing satisfied smiles.
It was plain to see that they had each claimed treasures from the cliff.
Just as the mighty figures of the Primordial Wilderness returned, Qin Mu suddenly moved!
He flew straight toward the Treasure Distribution Cliff.
Many beings looked on in confusion.
"What's going on?"
"Who is that little Golden Immortal?"
"Isn't it too late to enter the cliff now?"
"He's too weak. It's understandable that he didn't dare join the fight for treasures earlier."
"We've already stripped the place bare. Going in now would be pointless."
"Maybe something was left behind."
"..."
Everyone murmured in wonder.
Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself:
"My disciple has had a rough time of it."
Though he said that, Tongtian thought that it didn't matter if Qin Mu hadn't obtained a spiritual treasure. He, as his teacher, wasn't so stingy!
After all, when Qin Mu had first become his disciple, he had given him the newly emerged Fire Spirit Pearl as an Initiation Gift.
While everyone was still talking, Qin Mu had already flown up to the Treasure Distribution Cliff.
What happened next was beyond anyone's expectations.
He didn't fly into the cliff to search for spiritual treasures. Instead, he raised both hands, his magic power surging around him, and actually hoisted the enormous cliff laden with countless spiritual treasures onto his shoulders!
"Boom!"
In an instant, the entire void trembled.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this!
"What?"
"What's going on?"
"W-What is that kid doing?"
"He doesn't want the spiritual treasures? He's carrying off the entire Treasure Distribution Cliff?"
"Wait! How could an ordinary cliff bear so many spiritual treasures?"
"..."
After their initial shock, the mighty figures quickly realized what was going on. Regret flashed in many of their eyes.
"That's right! How could a cliff capable of holding so many spiritual treasures be ordinary?"
"The cliff itself is a supreme treasure!"
"How did I not think of that?"
Soon, greed flashed in the eyes of many mighty figures.
The vicious sorts, especially, like Ancestor Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe,
quietly gathered their magic power, preparing to seize it.
Just then, a sharp sword intent descended without warning.
"Clang!"
As a clear sword cry rang out, Tongtian appeared beside Qin Mu in a flash.
With a light tap of his hand, the enormous cliff on Qin Mu's shoulders instantly shrank and fell into his hands.
"Keep the cliff safe,"
Tongtian said calmly.
Then his gaze swept coldly over everyone present.
Earlier, they had wondered how a mere Golden Immortal had managed to come to Zixiao Palace.
They hadn't expected him to know the Three Pure Ones.
Now, by declaring Qin Mu's identity in front of everyone, Tongtian was making it clear: whoever dared touch Qin Mu would be making an enemy of him.
The mighty figures who had been itching to make a move immediately calmed down.
After all, the Three Pure Ones stood as one. Who would dare provoke them?
Moreover, Ancestor Hongjun had said earlier that the Three Pure Ones could become Saints in the future.
If they attacked Qin Mu, wouldn't they offend three Saints?
It simply wasn't worth it for the sake of a single treasure.
