"A mere top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure? I have as many of those as I want!"
Zhou Xuan waved his hand, and the void trembled slightly.
A red lotus descended from the sky, spinning gently, and floated before Zhao Gongming's eyes.
Zhao Gongming froze for a moment, then his pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed:
"Master, this, this is the Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure?"
Zhou Xuan nodded with a smile and said slowly:
"Gongming, this Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus is my gift to you for becoming my disciple!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gongming was once again shocked!
Damn!
This Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus primarily defended and attacked. Seated on its lotus platform, nothing could break it. Not only did it possess extremely strong defensive capabilities, but it could also absorb the violent energies of heaven and earth, transforming karma into karmic fire.
However, this was Ancestor Styx's companion magical treasure, wasn't it?
How could it be in Master's hands?
Zhao Gongming, both shocked and delighted, excitedly asked Zhou Xuan:
"Master, isn't the Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus in Ancestor Styx's hands? Did Master snatch it from him?"
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm not a bandit, why would I snatch someone's belongings for no reason? There isn't just one Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus in this world!"
Although Zhou Xuan didn't know where the magical treasures rewarded by the system came from, they definitely weren't snatched from Ancestor Styx!
There was a high probability that the system had replicated them through special means.
Therefore, Zhou Xuan said confidently:
"A mere top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure isn't worth me snatching!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gongming's heart trembled again. This was a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, yet according to Master's tone, it was as insignificant as cabbage from the market.
However, Zhou Xuan then looked up at the sky and said proudly:
"Moreover, all the magical treasures held by the Saints and deities throughout the heavens and all realms originated from me. If I wished to take them back, it would be done openly and honorably!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gongming and Sun Wukong were stunned!
Their eyes widened as they stared at Zhou Xuan and said:
"Master, what does this mean?"
"Yes, Master, could there be some hidden story behind this?"
Seeing their reaction, Zhou Xuan put away his smile, coughed lightly, and said:
"Gongming, do you know about the Chaos Green Lotus?"
Zhao Gongming nodded and replied thoughtfully:
"Master, the Chaos Green Lotus is one of the five Chaos Supreme Treasures!"
Zhou Xuan nodded and then asked:
"Then do you know what the five Chaos Supreme Treasures are?"
Zhao Gongming replied: "The five Chaos Supreme Treasures are the Sky-Opening Axe, the Earth-Splitting Chisel, the Jade Disk of Creation, the Chaos Green Lotus, and the Chaos Bead."
"Excellent, excellent."
Zhou Xuan nodded with satisfaction and then petted the monkey squatting at his feet, saying gently:
"Wukong, do you know the origin of these five Chaos Supreme Treasures?"
Hearing his Master's question, Sun Wukong immediately replied respectfully:
"Master, Old Sun once heard other fellow Daoists mention it when I was at Square Inch Mountain."
"The Sky-Opening Axe and the Earth-Splitting Chisel were the magical treasures of Great God Pangu. Great God Pangu used these two treasures to split heaven and earth!"
"Later, the Earth-Splitting Chisel went missing, and the Sky-Opening Axe, unable to withstand the immense energy of splitting the heavens, transformed into three top-grade Innate Supreme Treasures under the nourishment of Merit.
The axe blade transformed into the Pangu Banner and went to Primordial Lord of Heaven.
The axe back transformed into the Taiji Diagram and went to Grand Pure Laozi.
As for the axe handle, it transformed into the Chaos Bell, which is the companion magical treasure of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, also known as the Eastern Emperor Bell."
Sun Wukong spoke eloquently. After discussing the Sky-Opening Axe and the Earth-Splitting Chisel, he continued without pause:
"As for the Chaos Green Lotus, it had one hundred and eight grades of lotus platforms, twelve leaves, twenty-four petals, and seven lotus seeds formed in its heart."
"Later, after Great God Pangu split heaven and earth, the Chaos Green Lotus was too overbearing and was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, causing it to disintegrate and transform into several Innate magical treasures."
"The roots and stems of the Chaos Green Lotus combined with the malevolent energies of heaven and earth to form the 'God-Slaying Spear'."
"The lotus receptacle absorbed the power of vows and transformed into the 'Qiankun Cauldron'."
"The largest lotus seed fell on Mount Buzhou, nourished by the primal earth essence, and gave birth to the 'Thirty-Six-Grade Creation Green Lotus'. Because its power was too immense, it was not tolerated by heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Dao sought to destroy it. Coincidentally, it encountered the Three Pure Ones, and finally, the flower transformed into the 'Three Treasures Jade Ruyi', which was taken by Primordial Lord of Heaven."
"The lotus leaves transformed into the 'Qingping Sword' and went to Sect Master Tongtian."
"The lotus root transformed into the 'Coiled Dragon Crutch', currently in Grand Pure Laozi's hands!"
"One lotus seed fell into the Western Pool of Merit, absorbed Merit, and transformed into the 'Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus'."
"One lotus seed fell into the Underworld's Sea of Blood, absorbed Karma, and transformed into the 'Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus'."
"One lotus seed fell into the Abyss of Darkness and transformed into the 'Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus'."
"One lotus seed fell into the Three Thousand Weak Waters and transformed into the 'Twelve-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus'."
"One lotus seed fell onto the Great Earth, absorbed the power of Creation, and transformed into the 'Twelve-Grade Creation Blue Lotus'."
"The final lotus seed took root deep within the Underworld. After Ancestral Witch Houtu created Reincarnation, it absorbed the power of Reincarnation and transformed into the 'Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus'."
"The petals transformed into twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls."
"The two largest lotus leaves transformed into the River Diagram and Luo Shu!"
"Five larger lotus leaves merged with the innate Five Elements energy and became the Innate Five Directions Banners. They are: the Central Wuji Apricot-Yellow Banner, the Eastern Azure Lotus Precious-Color Banner, the Southern Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner, the Western Plain-Colored Cloud-Boundary Banner, and the Northern Xuanyuan Water-Control Banner. When these five banners are combined, their power can rival an Innate Supreme Treasure."
"Five smaller lotus leaves transformed into five great spiritual lamps: the Eight Sceneries Palace Lamp, the Auspicious Cloud Golden Lamp, the Biyou Palace Lamp, the Precious Lotus Lamp, and the Lingjiu Palace Lamp."
Sun Wukong recited them one by one, as if reciting scriptures, counting on his fingers.
Zhou Xuan nodded with satisfaction and patted the monkey's head. His gaze then shifted to Zhao Gongming and he said, "Gongming, you can tell us the rest."
Zhao Gongming nodded and said in a clear voice, "The remaining items are the Jade Disk of Creation and the Chaos Bead."
"Legend has it that the Jade Disk of Creation contains the profound mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos' Laws. It is the recorder of the world's origin Laws! Whoever possesses the Jade Disk of Creation and comprehends the Three Thousand Great Daos can shatter the Primordial World, derive the Three Thousand Great Daos, and re-establish a great world!"
"However, because the Jade Disk of Creation was too powerful, it was ultimately not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao and shattered into trillions of fragments, scattered across the land."
"It is said that Hongjun still possesses many fragments of the Jade Disk of Creation. It was by comprehending the Jade Disk of Creation that he merged with the Dao and became the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson."
"It is said that the Jade Disk of Creation has the following functions: it can fold stars and traverse time and space. Any planet or dimension can be reached instantaneously with just a single thought."
"It can also reverse time and space, create worlds, deduce heavenly secrets... in short, its uses are endless."
Having said this, Zhao Gongming looked up at Zhou Xuan and cupped his hands, saying, "Master, as for this... the Chaos Bead, its whereabouts have been unknown since before the world was formed. No one has ever seen it. It is said that the Chaos Gods who fought over this bead back then are all dead!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan nodded, leaned back on the rattan chair, and gazed into the Chaos, saying leisurely, "You are both correct!"
"But what if I told you that these five Chaos Supreme Treasures were once all my magic treasures!"
"What do you think?"
