Within Zixiao Palace!
The figures of Hongjun and the Six Saints of Hong Huang all trembled as they looked toward the depths of chaos in shock.
Deep within the chaos, a force so terrifying that even Saints felt despair was faintly gathering.
"Master, is this the Dao?"
"Could it be that the Dao is shocked?"
"How is that possible? Ever since Hong Huang was born and the Heavenly Dao evolved, the Three Thousand Great Daos have never appeared again!"
"Master..."
The Six Saints of Hong Huang all looked toward Hongjun. Ever since Hongjun's Creation Jade Disk had been ranked, the shock on their faces had never faded.
At that moment, the might of the Heavenly Dao above Hongjun's head slowly began to turn. Several breaths later, that might gradually dissipated.
Only then did Hongjun speak. "This is the Dao Peeping!"
"Dao Peeping?"
"Could it be that even the Dao cannot learn the origins of that one from Hongmeng Palace?"
"That's impossible, isn't it?"
"Could this Dao Lord Taichu be the one who governs fate?"
"That shouldn't be possible, right? That one should also have been birthed by the Dao, shouldn't he?"
"..."
Upon hearing the words Dao Peeping, the shock on the faces of the Six Saints surged once more.
They truly could not understand it. The Heavenly Dao could not learn his origins, but how could the Dao itself not know?
Even if he were one of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, he should have been birthed by the Dao. Why could the Dao not know of him?
"Hongmeng-level treasures may be capable of resisting the Dao Peeping. As for that one from Hongmeng Palace, this master still cannot fathom just how powerful he truly is!"
Hongjun's voice rang out once more.
"Master... this disciple has a question. Might Master be able to resolve it?"
At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance. Then, the two rose and knelt before Hongjun, asking with solemn expressions.
Hongjun's brows knit slightly at this, but he nodded faintly toward them.
"Master!"
"The one within Hongmeng Palace has already obtained the opportunity to witness Hongmeng Birth and Destruction, and may even allow ten beings to observe it!"
"Now, even if every Hongmeng Palace Person is counted, there are likely not enough!"
"We are Saints. If we were to make a request, would that existence permit us to observe?"
As Jieyin spoke, he carefully watched Hongjun's expression, as though afraid that a single wrong word would earn him punishment.
Hearing this, Hongjun's face darkened slightly, and he remained silent for a long while.
This Jieyin was actually preparing to defect to Dao Lord Taichu right before his master?
And he had the nerve to ask aloud—did he think Hongjun would not punish him?
"Jieyin!"
"Don't parade those petty thoughts of yours before Master!"
"Why don't you simply go and submit to that one from Hongmeng Palace? Why bother asking Master?"
"Exactly!"
"Jieyin, Zhunti, you two already have hearts set on submission, don't you?"
"..."
Seeing Hongjun's expression, Yuanshi immediately rose and sternly rebuked Jieyin and Zhunti.
Tongtian and Nuwa also shouted in anger, looking down on the two of them.
Even Laozi wore an angry expression as he flicked his sleeve, clearly unwilling to associate with them.
"Master, We absolutely have no intention of betrayal. We merely wished to observe it, and hope Master will not blame us!"
"If We were asked to submit to the Hongmeng Palace Person, that would be absolutely impossible!"
Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions turned somewhat ugly. At this moment, they faintly sensed danger and hurriedly explained themselves.
"Enough!"
"Enough!"
"This master understands your thoughts. Is it not simply because the West is barren and lacks treasures, and you two did not receive sufficient rewards this time?"
"Rest assured. Since the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking has a treasure ranking, perhaps there will be other rankings as well!"
Hongjun was merely guessing. He simply did not wish to speak further with the two from the West on this matter.
He could not be certain whether the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking would have a second volume, a third volume...
[The second-ranked treasure on the Treasure Ranking will now be announced. Please pay attention!]
[Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, Second Place: Supreme Hongmeng Ranking!]
[Hongmeng Supreme Treasure!]
[Owner: None!]
[None!]
"What?"
"This Supreme Hongmeng Ranking truly has no owner?"
"And it's even a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure?"
"Isn't it Dao Lord Taichu's treasure?"
"But the question is, this treasure is so terrifying—how can it, how can it only rank second?"
"Why?"
"A treasure like this should suppress Chaos. Why can it only rank second?"
"..."
Waves of astonished cries rang throughout the Hong Huang world, leaving the Myriad Races Experts bewildered.
The Supreme Hongmeng Ranking had handed out so many rewards, yet it only ranked second. What was going on?
The problem was, this treasure had no owner—so why had it given Dao Lord Taichu so many rewards?
Furthermore, where had those rewards come from?
They were dumbfounded. The entire Hong Huang, the Myriad Races Experts, were completely dumbfounded.
At this very moment, their minds were filled with enormous question marks. They had no idea whom to seek for answers.
Heavenly Court, Demon God Palace!
Di Jun and Taiyi could not help exchanging a glance.
"Big Brother, that is an ownerless Hongmeng Supreme Treasure!"
"Our Demon Race must make a bid for it!"
"Second Brother, no!"
"Even the Dao Ancestor finds it difficult to suppress this treasure. If we act, our race may face the calamity of annihilation!"
Di Jun hurriedly rose to his feet and stopped Taiyi.
His thoughts were the complete opposite of Taiyi's. Making a move to test the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking was truly unwise.
"But Big Brother, what if someone else obtains this treasure? What then?"
"Second Brother, you are confused. With the Dao Ancestor still in Hong Huang, who could possibly have the chance to refine this treasure?"
"Besides, there is also the Dao Lord within the Hongmeng Palace—no, the Hongmeng Myriad Origin Palace—who has yet to make a move!"
"We should watch how things unfold!"
Di Jun's tone brooked no argument. He was not merely thinking of Taiyi, but of the entire Demon Race. At a time like this, they could not gamble the entire Demon Race on something with not even a shred of hope.
At this moment, Taiyi of the Demon Race was not the only one to have such thoughts.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race, East Prince of the Immortal Court, and Zhenyuanzi of Longevity Mountain all faintly developed a trace of ambition.
Yet like Di Jun, they were deeply wary of the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking and did not dare act rashly.
Within Zixiao Palace!
A glimmer of sharp light emerged in the eyes of Jieyin and Zhunti.
However, after being ridiculed by Yuanshi and the others earlier, they did not dare speak lightly. Instead, they once again raised their heads to look toward Hongjun.
At this moment, Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, and even Hongjun had traces of sharp light in their eyes.
"Master, should We investigate it?"
"Master, this treasure has no owner. Could We..."
Tongtian and Yuanshi were the first to lose their restraint, quietly asking Hongjun.
Yet before their words had even fallen, Hongjun abruptly waved his hand and cut them off.
"Alas!"
"A Hongmeng treasure may possess intelligence and be capable of suppressing Chaos. Even if We all joined forces, there would not be the slightest possibility of refining it. For a treasure like this, it can only choose a puppet; it is not for Us to refine!"
Hongjun let out a sigh.
Back then, when he had tried to refine this treasure, he had lost several opportunities to obtain rewards. That had convinced him that the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking possessed no small degree of intelligence.
Now, he had no desire to provoke this treasure so easily again.
