Qin Mu observed this scene, his heart filled with endless emotion.
Others might not know, but he was all too aware.
Hongyun appeared to have obtained the seventh strand of Primordial Violet Qi, but it was precisely this that would later invite a calamity of slaughter upon him.
Just then, a living being looked toward Ancestor Hongjun on the Dao platform:
"We beg the Dao Ancestor to take pity on us!"
"Grant us treasures as well!"
Having come to listen to the Dao, the great experts of the Primordial Era had learned the path to attaining sainthood.
But compared to the Three Pure Ones and others, who had both received the Primordial Violet Qi—the foundation of the Great Dao—and been gifted treasures by Hongjun, they themselves had gained nothing.
Deep in their hearts, they were naturally filled with reluctance.
At this point, they could no longer care about saving face.
If they could receive treasures from Ancestor Hongjun, even by begging, it would be better than leaving empty-handed.
Hearing what this living being said, many of the great experts of the Primordial Era present turned their burning gazes toward Hongjun.
Seeing this, Hongjun's expression remained calm.
The next moment, he lightly waved his hand.
When they looked again, they saw that in the void not far away, a towering treasure mountain had directly materialized.
From that Treasure Cliff, ten-thousand-zhang Rosy Cloud shot forth, countless auspicious vapors swirling around.
Beyond that, the Treasure Cliff itself was jade-like throughout, crystalline and translucent.
In many places, it was even imprinted with innate Dao Patterns.
Each Dao Pattern seemed to be evolving the principles of heaven and earth.
What shocked the great experts of the Primordial Era even more was this:
From that Treasure Cliff, countless beams of treasure light surged into the sky, and faintly visible among them were numerous spiritual treasures arrayed in rows.
Swords, bells, pagodas, seals... everything one could imagine.
Moreover, every single magic treasure emitted a heart-stopping pressure, a clear sign of their extraordinary nature.
Seeing this, Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and whispered in awe:
"So this is the Treasure Distribution Cliff?"
Just then, Hongjun spoke calmly:
"I have traveled the Primordial Era, gathering many treasures here. You may each obtain them according to your own fortune."
As he said this, the Dao Ancestor's voice was extremely composed.
But these words, when they reached the ears of the many great experts of the Primordial Era present, exploded like thunderclaps.
In particular, those living beings who had not received treasures earlier now had blazing eyes, rubbing their fists and palms, looking utterly impatient.
"Charge!"
At that moment, no one knew who shouted first.
Then, it could be seen that all the Great Experts within Zixiao Palace made their move, turning into streaks of light as they rushed toward the Treasure Distribution Cliff.
"Swish, swish!"
"Boom, boom..."
The Three Pure Ones were no exception.
Taishang made his move, directly sweeping spiritual treasures like the Sheep Fat Jade Purifying Vase into his sleeve.
Yuanshi was not slow either, claiming treasures like the Yuqing Box and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
Tongtian directly seized a host of spiritual treasures.
Nuwa flew forward, rapidly gathering spiritual treasures: the River-Mountain Sheji Map, the Seven Stars Moon-Chasing Whip...
Jieyin and Zhunti flashed swiftly through the Treasure Distribution Cliff, with silk sashes, jeweled necklaces, canopies, flower garlands... one spiritual treasure after another falling into their hands.
Beyond them, other great experts of the Primordial Era also frantically plundered within the Treasure Distribution Cliff.
Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, Minghe, Kunpeng, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi...
For a time, spiritual treasures clashed and laws collided atop the Treasure Distribution Cliff.
The entire void space trembled from the struggle over the treasures.
Qin Mu stood in place, unmoving.
He stared fixedly at the Treasure Distribution Cliff, his expression deep, and thought to himself:
"These Great Experts are formidable in strength."
"I am only at the Golden Immortal realm. Even if I went, I wouldn't be able to snatch anything at all."
"And there's also the risk of being caught up in the chaos as the Great Experts fight over them—if you're not careful and end up perishing there, it just wouldn't be worth it!"
Qin Mu wasn't unwilling to join the scramble.
He was simply held back by his own pitifully weak strength.
Before long, the countless magic treasures on Treasure Distribution Cliff had been thoroughly plundered by the various Great Experts.
The crowd turned back, every face beaming with satisfied smiles.
It wasn't hard to tell that they had all seized some treasures within the cliff.
Just as the mighty gods of the Primordial Era were returning, Qin Mu suddenly moved!
He was seen flying straight toward Treasure Distribution Cliff.
At this sight, many beings were baffled.
"What's going on?"
"Who is that little Golden Immortal?"
"Isn't it too late to enter the treasure cliff now?"
"Too weak—he didn't dare join the treasure scramble earlier. That's understandable."
"The treasures inside have all been cleaned out by us. Going there now is a waste of effort."
"Maybe there's something left behind, who knows?"
"..."
The crowd murmured with mixed emotions.
Seeing this, Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself:
"This disciple of mine... I've put him through quite an ordeal!"
Though he said this aloud, Tongtian was thinking to himself.
Even if Qin Mu didn't obtain any spirit treasures, it wouldn't matter—he, as the master, wouldn't be so stingy!
After all, right at the start of their apprenticeship, he had gifted Qin Mu the newly born Fire Spirit Pearl as an initiation gift.
While everyone was still buzzing with discussion, Qin Mu had already flown right up to Treasure Distribution Cliff.
What no one had anticipated was—
He didn't fly into the cliff to search for spirit treasures. Instead, he braced both hands against it, his mana surging wildly, and actually lifted the massive cliff that had borne countless treasures onto his shoulders!
"Boom!"
In an instant, the entire void trembled.
When the crowd saw this, they were all stunned!
"This?"
"What's going on?"
"This... what is this kid doing?"
"He doesn't want the spirit treasures, but he's carrying off the cliff itself?"
"Wait! A cliff that can bear so many spirit treasures—how could it be an ordinary object?"
"..."
Amid their astonishment, many Great Experts suddenly understood, and a flash of regret appeared in quite a few eyes.
"That's right! A treasure cliff capable of holding so many spirit treasures—how could it be simple?"
"The cliff itself is a supreme treasure!"
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Soon, greed flickered in the eyes of many Great Experts.
Especially fierce figures like Ancestor Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe.
They even secretly began circulating their mana, ready to strike and seize it.
Just then, a sharp sword intent suddenly descended.
"Clang!"
Accompanied by a clear, resonant sword cry, Tongtian flashed and appeared beside Qin Mu.
With a light flick of his hand, the enormous cliff that Qin Mu had been carrying on his shoulders instantly shrank and fell into Qin Mu's grasp.
"Keep the cliff safe."
Tongtian said flatly.
Then, his gaze swept coldly across the crowd.
Earlier, they had found it strange—how could a mere Golden Immortal have made it to Zixiao Palace?
Now it turned out that this man was acquainted with the Three Pure Ones.
At this moment, Tongtian openly declared Qin Mu's identity before everyone.
Naturally, this was a proclamation—whoever dared to lay a hand on Qin Mu would be crossing him.
In an instant, those Great Experts who had been stirring restlessly immediately calmed down.
After all, the Three Pure Ones were one entity—who would dare to provoke them?
Moreover, Ancestor Hongjun had just made it clear that the Three Pure Ones could become saints in the future.
If they made a move against Qin Mu, wouldn't that mean offending three saints?
For the sake of a single treasure, it simply wasn't worth it.
