Ancestor Qiankun Angrily Questions the Great Dao! A Massive Treasure Haul Falls into His Hands!
"Th-this, where is this place?"
"Why does it look so much like the Chaos era?"
The instant Qian Kun slipped into the void, he noticed something wrong with his surroundings.
As far as the eye could see, gray Chaos currents filled heaven and earth. There was no distinction between up, down, left, or right, and the universe's Time and Space was disorderly and chaotic.
Deathly silence, emptiness, and coldness seemed to be the prevailing theme of this place, making one restless and utterly unable to calm down and think.
"I only wanted to slip into the void. How did I end up in this cursed place?!"
Qian Kun stared at everything around him, familiar yet strange, as uncontrollable panic steadily eroded his reason.
Like a madman, his eyes grew increasingly bloodshot. With a ferocious expression, he staggered about and swung the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, smashing at the barriers of Time and Space.
He hoped to escape this place as soon as possible.
Yet with his reason on the verge of collapse, he had long forgotten the most crucial rule for survival within the Chaos World.
Unless absolutely necessary, one must never attack the surrounding Time and Space!
After all, the most dangerous thing in the Chaos era was neither the Chaos Gale that annihilated all living beings nor the deathly silence and emptiness found everywhere.
It was the inherently disordered and chaotic Time and Space!
If Qian Kun were still a Chaos Demon God and possessed the perfected strength of a Grand Luo of Hunyuan,
he could naturally use the Laws of the Great Dao to stabilize the turbulent Time and Space around him, preventing himself from being swept away to some perilous region of Chaos filled with unknown dangers.
But he was now only at the mid-stage of Mixed Origin.
Moreover, his reason had nearly collapsed under the corrosion of baleful aura and killing intent, compounded by his sudden arrival in the Chaos World.
After striking the barrier only a few times, he was swept away by a sudden spatial-temporal torrent.
It carried him into a region filled with Chaos Gale.
In an instant, Qian Kun's body was completely annihilated before he could even cry out.
If Di Tian had not acted in time to freeze the wildly sweeping Chaos Gale,
his soul would likely have been ground away completely as well!
"Which fellow Daoist is toying with me here?"
"If you have any questions or demands, we can discuss them."
"I only ask that you spare my life!"
With his body annihilated, the influence of the baleful aura and killing intent had clearly faded considerably.
Qian Kun recovered a little of his reason as well.
He understood that he had now become a lamb at another's mercy.
He immediately chose to abandon everything in order to survive!
"Hand over all your possessions."
Di Tian naturally would not be foolish enough to show himself in person.
Even counting the Chaos era, Qian Kun had lived for at least tens of thousands of Eons.
Who knew whether he possessed some sinister trump card, such as curses or poison arts?
Though given Qian Kun's character, he was unlikely to choose the path of perishing together.
Di Tian still intended to eliminate all future trouble.
What if Qian Kun truly had such methods and intended to drag him down with him?
Wouldn't that put him in danger?
"Agreed."
Seeing that the other party wanted something, Qian Kun immediately felt more than half his worries ease.
As long as he could buy his life, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and protective artifacts were merely external possessions!
"But you must swear a Great Dao oath, ensuring that after I hand over everything, you will spare my life."
"Of course."
Di Tian agreed to Qian Kun's proposal without the slightest hesitation.
Not to mention that the world within the Chaos Pearl was utterly unrecognized and unmanaged by the Great Dao.
Here, he was the greatest authority!
Even if he made oaths every day, they would not affect him in the slightest.
Besides, he had indeed agreed to spare Qian Kun's life.
But if Qian Kun himself proved inadequate and failed to escape the Chaos Gale, resulting in the annihilation of his soul,
then that could only be considered his bad luck. It had nothing to do with Di Tian.
Wasn't that right?!
"Great Dao above, heaven and earth bear witness."
"As long as Qian Kun relinquishes all his possessions, I will allow him to leave."
To make it seem more convincing,
he also controlled the Chaos Pearl to send down a note of assent, which resounded through the surrounding Chaos and Qian Kun's soul.
"These are my Companion Supreme Treasures, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Qiankun Diagram. I hope you will accept them, fellow Daoist."
In truth, anyone sufficiently attentive could have discovered whether that note of assent was genuine.
But under the influence of the Chaos currents and the lingering baleful aura and killing intent, Qian Kun's soul was visibly weakening at an alarming rate.
If he did not leave this place soon, he would surely die, his soul scattered and his Dao extinguished.
Thus, he had no time to think further.
He forcibly severed his connection to the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Qiankun Diagram, respectfully placing them before himself.
"As for my accumulations over the years, I have stored them all within the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Qiankun Diagram. Fellow Daoist, you may inspect them yourself."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian did not immediately retrieve the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Qiankun Diagram for inspection.
Instead, he had Qian Kun swear a Great Dao oath.
He was to hand over all of his past gains without concealing anything.
He was not to tamper with the Heaven and Earth Cauldron or the Qiankun Diagram, nor seek revenge in any form.
Otherwise, he would immediately be annihilated by the Chaos Gale, leaving not even a burial place.
Though Qian Kun felt unwilling at this demand, he could only agree helplessly in order to preserve his life.
He immediately swore to the Great Dao.
He repeated everything Di Tian had said.
As the oath ended, an assent from the unseen rang out, and the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Qiankun Diagram vanished.
Qian Kun believed he could finally leave.
Yet he discovered that the Chaos Gale around him had suddenly gone berserk, sweeping toward him in an instant!
"I didn't conceal anything! I didn't tamper with the treasures, and I never sought revenge in any form!"
"Why am I being punished?!"
"Great Dao! You..."
However, before he could finish questioning the Great Dao, the Chaos Gale had already reached him. In merely a dozen breaths, his soul was completely annihilated.
Only a trace of his True Spirit and the shattered origin of the Great Dao of Qiankun remained, silently suspended within the Chaos Void!
Di Tian did not immediately take possession of either of them.
Instead, he isolated them separately and stored them within a stretch of Chaos Time and Space.
He also had the Chaos Time and Space containing the True Spirit continuously stir up Chaos Gale, ensuring that Qian Kun had no possibility of revival.
"As expected of someone who survived two Tribulations and remained safe until the end."
"He truly is filthy rich!"
When Di Tian extended his Divine Sense into the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Qiankun Diagram, even he was stunned for a moment.
There were not many Innate Spiritual Treasures inside, perhaps only around a hundred or so.
But the Innate spiritual materials, precious ores, and exotic stones used for artifact refining were simply countless.
Take the treasures in the Star Court Treasury as an example.
The Innate Star Gods had traded with the Primordial Myriad Races for tens of thousands of years to accumulate their current vast wealth.
Yet the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures collected by Qian Kun could rival one-fifth of the treasures within that treasury!
This showed just how terrifying the wealth he had accumulated truly was!
"Using this as a basis to glimpse the inheritance Hong Jun received through a narrow tube..."
"One can imagine just how enormous that fellow's fortune must be!"
As his thoughts churned, Di Tian became even more determined to collect his debt from Hong Jun.
The Primordial World had been opened by Father God, and everything within it should belong to him!
Yet this group of Demon God Reincarnations led by Hong Jun
dared to plunder so ruthlessly and seize the inheritance Father God had left for him!
They were simply courting death!
They had to repay it a thousandfold, ten thousandfold!!
