[Ding-dong!] [Daoist Hongjun has been detected. He intends to seize the opportunity while the host saves the Infinite Beings of the West to resolve his immense Karma. Please choose from the options below.] [Option One: Ignore him and let him leave. Upon completing the task, you will receive one Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Yin Yang Mirror.] [Option Two: Agree to his terms and make a deal with the Dao Ancestor. Upon completing the task, you will receive one Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Nine Dragon Fire-Scattering Cover.]

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's face took on a thoughtful look.

It seemed the other party had realized that he wouldn't go to Purple Cloud Palace, so he'd taken advantage of Ye Xuan's intervention to repay the immense Karma he owed the West. If Ye Xuan hadn't stepped in, even this single burst of residual power could have repaid some of it.

After giving it some thought, Ye Xuan realized he couldn't even withstand a Sage's Residual Might. He spoke up.

"Choose the second option—ignore him!"

The Twelve Heavenly Gods Great Formation and the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation had both been shattered with a single strike. That was surely meant to demonstrate his power, so Ye Xuan had better not oppose him. Besides, the other party still had plenty of Innate Spiritual Treasures that he couldn't use. Since he was coming to make a deal, Ye Xuan could ask for the moon and get some of them for himself.

After Ye Xuan made his choice, another electronic sound rang in his ears.

[Ding-dong!] [The host has chosen to ignore him. The Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Nine Dragon Fire-Scattering Cover, will be granted upon completion of the task. Please check it yourself.]

As Ye Xuan was considering what to do, the Dao Ancestor arrived outside the Western Continent. He waved a hand, dispelling the Endless Destruction Power before turning to Ye Xuan and speaking.

"Daoist Jieyin, you share an immense Karma with the West, and have also earned immeasurable Great Merit."

"When the Ancestor Demon self-detonated back then, I incurred some Karma as well. I am willing to offer three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures to resolve this immense Karma with the Western Continent. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan shook his head. Three Innate Spiritual Treasures were nothing. The other party had been willing to offer a Saint Position and a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure to make a deal with him before, but now he was offering only three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. He was clearly underestimating Ye Xuan. So Ye Xuan spoke without hesitation.

"I've heard you have an Innate Spiritual Treasure called the Taiji Diagram. Since the Ancestor Demon's self-detonation, the West has had no Innate Spiritual Treasures. We seek one to suppress the West's boundless destiny."

At Ye Xuan's words, a trace of surprise appeared in the Dao Ancestor's eyes.

What an outrageous demand. I may no longer have any use for this Innate Supreme Treasure, but it's one of the Three Treasures of Creation. How precious is that?

Looking at Ye Xuan, the Dao Ancestor composed himself before replying calmly.

"This Innate Spiritual Treasure is not an option!"

"Besides, of the Innate Supreme Treasures, only Sages can wield the final Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light. Those beneath the Sage realm—even a Quasi-Saint at Great Perfection—can only wield one perfected Innate Spiritual Treasure."

"It would be useless in your hands. And unless you fully master it, you cannot use it to sever your Three Corpses!"

"If you refuse, I can offer two more Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures to make the deal."

After hearing this, a look of understanding came over Ye Xuan. No wonder the other party hadn't relied on the Three Innate Supreme Treasures to unify his Three Corpses. Those beneath the Sage realm couldn't use an Innate Supreme Treasure to sever their Three Corpses; they had to fully master it first, then entrust their Three Corpses to it!

But only a Sage could fully master an Innate Supreme Treasure. It was a dead end either way. The Dao Ancestor's explanation had resolved another of Ye Xuan's doubts.

It seemed the other party had indeed entrusted his Three Corpses to most of the Jade Plate Fragments!

Having understood, Ye Xuan said, "I already have some Innate Spiritual Treasures, and I'm confident I can reach the Sage realm. I still want an Innate Supreme Treasure."

Looking at Ye Xuan, the Dao Ancestor fell silent and did not reply.

The world seemed to freeze. All the Innate God-Demons held their breath, never expecting Ye Xuan to be so audacious as to ask the Dao Ancestor for an Innate Supreme Treasure.

"Eldest Brother..."

Seeing Ye Xuan make such a bold demand, Daoist Zhunti appeared at his side in a flash of divine light, his face tense.

The Dao Ancestor's strength was simply unfathomable. With a single strike, he had dismantled two supreme formations. If he attacked Ye Xuan, then even though Ye Xuan was considered the foremost figure among the Innate God-Demons of this era, he would be no more than an egg thrown against a rock before a Sage—utterly helpless.

Seeing Daoist Zhunti arrive, Ye Xuan remained calm and did not back down.

"Very well!"

Though he didn't know where Ye Xuan got his confidence, Daoist Hongjun had to resolve each and every Karma before he could merge with the Heavenly Dao and become its Spokesperson.

The Innate Supreme Treasures, the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner, already had owners. He still had to resolve his immense Karma with Laozi and the others, so he couldn't offer them. He had only one Innate Supreme Treasure left. After a moment's thought, it entered Ye Xuan's hands.

The cauldron was a dark yellow, as if it had been formed from endless Creation Mother Qi. Its surface was engraved with countless Dao patterns.

It had three legs and two handles, and its round heaven and square earth design was perfectly formed. Endless innate clear qi swirled within its left handle, while endless postnatal turbid qi gathered in its right. When the clear and turbid qi blended, a trace of supreme Chaos Spiritual Qi could be produced.

According to legend, this Innate Supreme Treasure had been nurtured over endless ages by the lotus platform of the Thirty-Six Grade Chaos Green Lotus. Only the Three Treasures of Creation ranked above it.

"This Innate Supreme Treasure is called the Creation Cauldron. It has a wondrous ability: with boundless destiny, it can reverse a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure and turn it into an Innate Spiritual Treasure."

Though this Innate Supreme Treasure was incredibly powerful, it had a flaw. Only supreme destiny could reverse a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure and turn it into an Innate Spiritual Treasure. If someone truly possessed such destiny, they could simply go out and find an Innate Spiritual Treasure. They wouldn't need this treasure.

Looking at Ye Xuan, the Dao Ancestor produced another Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure in his hand. It was called the Universe Ruler, and contained Universe One Qi. With yin and yang combined, it represented the yin and yang of the world. After a moment's thought, he placed the treasure in Ye Xuan's hands as well.

"This Innate Spiritual Treasure is called the Universe Ruler. Like the Heaven Measuring Ruler, it is a supreme treasure. If the two are fused together, it can reach an even higher level."

"Very well!"

Seeing that he had obtained an Innate Supreme Treasure, Ye Xuan's face lit up with joy. The Dao Ancestor was truly generous. He bowed to him and said calmly, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor."

"This disciple also thanks you on behalf of the countless beings of the West."

Beside him, Daoist Zhunti hurriedly spoke up as well.

Looking at Ye Xuan and the others, the Dao Ancestor remained calm. He was neither angry nor pleased, and said impassively,

"There is no need to thank me. I leave the immense Karma between myself and the beings of the West in your hands. Take care of it."

After the Dao Ancestor spoke, an immense Karma connected to Ye Xuan from the unseen reaches. Then his figure dispersed into the world.

The Sage's supreme pressure that had accompanied him vanished as well.
