Quasi-Saints of the Same Rank Rely on Treasures; Nuwa Takes Action and Defeats the Sanqing in an Instant

"You damn Mysterious Turtle, how dare you speak to us so disrespectfully!"

Primordial Lord of Heaven snapped, "The three of us are all Quasi-Saints now, while you're only in the Quasi-Saint Realm. Teaching you, you beast, a lesson will be child's play!"

As he spoke, Primordial Lord of Heaven formed several dark-gold and purple-gold Yuqing Divine Talismans, which he had painstakingly refined through his Daoist arts, and prepared to fight Beichen.

"This Mysterious Turtle is no ordinary fellow. I, your senior brother, should join the fight!"

Grand Pure Lord of Morality held the nine-tiered Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. It revolved slowly, radiating an imposing aura. He stood beside Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate, as if showing off to Beichen.

Lingbao Moral Heavenly Venerate furrowed his brow and thought, This Mysterious Turtle has a terrifying origin. He entered the Quasi-Saint Realm ahead of us, then cultivated for three thousand years with the power of the Dao in the Zixiao Palace. He's already reached the middle stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. If we're going to teach him a lesson, the three of us will have to join forces!

Like Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Supreme Pure Lord of Numinous Treasure had dark-gold or purple-gold divine talismans formed in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

The sermon hadn't ended yet, and the treasures at Treasure Distribution Cliff hadn't been handed out. Primordial Lord of Heaven didn't yet have the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, Chaos Bead, Pangu Banner, or other treasures. Supreme Pure Lord of Numinous Treasure likewise had none of the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying, Six Souls Banner, Green Ping Sword, Fishing Drum, or Primordial Dust-Washing Whisk.

Of the Sanqing, only Grand Pure Lord of Morality carried his companion treasure, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. Their future treasures were all still in the hands of Old Ancestor Hongjun!

Before and after becoming a saint, Old Ancestor Hongjun hadn't done much else, but he had collected a great many treasures from the Primordial World.

Almost half the treasures in the Primordial World had already fallen into his hands!

Before the treasures were distributed, however, Yuanshi and Tongtian mainly relied on their own Daoist arts to condense divine talismans to use as "magical treasures."

With precious treasures in such short supply, the two had been driven to work hard at it. As a result, the talismans they refined were terrifyingly powerful, rivaling even Innate Spirit Treasures!

"Heh. This Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda only has nine tiers right now. It hasn't yet absorbed the great merits of the acquired world and reached the heavenly number of forty-nine tiers, so its power is limited. It can barely hold off someone in the middle stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm."

"Though the Yuqing Divine Talisman and Shangqing Divine Talisman represent the source Daoist power of these two Destined Saints, their cultivation is limited for now. Even after taking Quasi-Saint Pills, their talismans are still below the middle stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm in power."

Thinking of this, Beichen set himself a rule: "In a fight against the Sanqing, I mustn't use any external magical treasures!"

Beichen had the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, the twelve-petal World-Destroying Black Lotus, the God-Slaying Spear, the Nine Demon Pagoda, and other top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures of the Primordial World. Every one of them could destroy the world. If he revealed them, he would give away his strength and likely attract unwanted attention. Then, wherever he went in the Primordial World, people would be on their guard against him. That wouldn't be good!

Beichen decided it was best to keep a low profile. No matter what treasures he had, he wouldn't reveal them lightly.

"Heh. Sanqing, look at you, with barely any treasures in your hands. If I fought you, it'd almost feel like I was picking on you!" Beichen smiled faintly. "To tell you the truth, the three of you are no more than ants to me, Beichen!"

"Damn you, Mysterious Turtle! What arrogance!"

The Sanqing stopped holding back and immediately unleashed their most powerful attacks against Beichen.

In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda came crashing down with tremendous force, while the Yuqing and Shangqing Divine Talismans unleashed an endless torrent of destructive attacks upon Beichen.

"Three senior brothers, please stop!"

Just then, Nuwa cried out, and a Quasi-Saint's might soared into the sky, shaking everything around them.

As this Quasi-Saint aura erupted, Nine-Colored Divine Light shimmered before the Zixiao Palace, and five-colored radiance burst forth. A great many magical treasures struck the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, knocking it back.

The Yuqing and Shangqing Divine Talismans also flew back into the hands of Yuanshi and Tongtian. The force sent both of them stumbling back several paces before they managed to stop.

Nuwa had also taken a Quasi-Saint Pill. She stood before the Sanqing, her expression resolute, clearly determined to protect Beichen.

Beichen looked over the treasures surrounding Nuwa and couldn't help exclaiming inwardly, Good heavens, she's carrying at least twenty magical treasures!

Nuwa was different from the Sanqing. Those three disciples of the Dao Ancestor had lived near Hongjun for a long time, devoting themselves to cultivation. They had hardly ever gone out to look for treasures.

As a result, they didn't have any decent treasures on them, and all of them would have to rely on their master to "help them out" later.

Nuwa and Fu Xi lived on Buzhou Immortal Mountain and often traveled outside, collecting dozens of magical treasures.

When Nuwa had mended the heavens with stones, she had obtained two Innate Treasures: the Sky Refining Furnace and the Five-Colored Stone. She had gained treasures through such fortunate encounters many times.

That was why Nuwa could casually produce an impressive Innate Treasure.

She was far wealthier than the Sanqing!

"Junior sister, what are you doing?!"

Supreme Pure Lord of Numinous Treasure couldn't help stamping his foot. "This Mysterious Turtle disrupted Master's sermon and annoyed him to no end. Instead of helping Master vent his anger, are you going to help an outsider?"

"That's right, junior sister. You shouldn't stop us from avenging Master!"

Grand Pure Lord of Morality spoke calmly.

Yuanshi stared coldly at Nuwa. "Junior sister, you've gone too far! What kind of reason is there for a junior sister to attack her senior brothers? I advise you to step aside at once, before I hurt you!"

"Brother Yuanshi, if you want to attack my younger sister, you'll need my permission first!"

Fu Xi shouted furiously.

Though he was only at the peak of the Great Firmament Realm, still a ways from the Quasi-Saint Realm, he stood his ground fiercely when protecting his younger sister.

"Brother, don't worry." Nuwa reassured Fu Xi.

Then she argued her case. "Three senior brothers, I have my reasons for stopping you."

"Though Daoist Mysterious Turtle caused a commotion in the Zixiao Palace, Master didn't blame him. For the three of you to avenge Master is rather petty. You're clearly just looking for trouble!"

"Would it be right to damage the harmony between fellow Daoists over this?"

"You..." Yuanshi clenched his fists. "Junior sister, you're afraid of harming the harmony between fellow Daoists, but you're not afraid of harming the harmony between us, your senior brothers and sister?"

The Sanqing knew Nuwa was protecting Beichen because he had given up his seat for her. They couldn't help feeling uneasy and a little guilty.

Nuwa indeed said, "If Daoist Mysterious Turtle hadn't given me his seat, Master wouldn't have been able to explain later that the prayer cushions were meant for his disciples. Wouldn't that have made Master lose face? In truth, Daoist Mysterious Turtle was also protecting Master's dignity!"

"Hmph. We three don't agree with such sophistry. All we saw was this Mysterious Turtle disrupting Master again and again, leaving him in an embarrassing position!"

In the end, the Sanqing and Nuwa failed to reach an agreement!

Nuwa said no more. She hurled all the magical treasures on her in their direction.

In an instant, the Innate Spirit Treasure Seven Treasures Heavenly Mang Divine Blade drove the three back. The Ethereal Sky Entangling Belt wrapped around Grand Pure Lord of Morality's eyes, the Nine-Colored Rainbow Robe covered Yuanshi's head, and the Spiritual Graceful Floating Robe bound Tongtian's hands and feet.

She then took the Heaven Stabilizing Hairpin, the Limitless Umbrella, and seven Heavenly Mang Divine Blades and sent them all attacking the three.

When cultivators of equal rank relied on spirit treasures, whoever brought out their treasures first gained the upper hand and could win on the spot!

And Nuwa had thrown out so many treasures in one go!

Especially her move of taking off her outer robe and using it to bind the three of them. It had truly put the Sanqing through a miserable time.

"Three senior brothers, do you still want to attack Daoist Mysterious Turtle?" Nuwa scoffed.

"Alas!" Grand Pure Lord of Morality sighed. "Junior sister, since you've stepped in to stop us, let's drop the matter!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian had no choice but to back down and concede. "We'll let Mysterious Turtle go!"

"Daoist Mysterious Turtle, you should leave now. My three senior brothers are Quasi-Saints, at least, and they won't break their word."

But Beichen only smiled at Nuwa. "Daoist Nuwa, you have so many treasures!"

"Huh? Daoist Mysterious Turtle, why aren't you leaving? How can you be so calm?"

Nuwa was astonished to see that Beichen wasn't going anywhere.

"Who said I was leaving? I told you, the Sanqing are no more than ants to me. I haven't taught them a lesson yet. Why would I leave?"
