Hongjun Distributes Treasures, East King Duke is Stunned!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was about to bestow treasures?

In an instant, the entire Purple Cloud Palace buzzed with discussion. The assembled great powers drew in sharp breaths, their eyes filled with an indescribable earnestness.

The Method of Slaying Three Corpses to Attain Dao required innate spiritual objects, with Innate Spirit Treasures being the most suitable. Yet the Primordial Wilderness had only a finite number of such treasures; even tens of thousands of years might not yield enough to complete the Three Corpses Slaying.

Even innate deities like the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa needed to spend vast amounts of time searching for spirit treasures to slay their corpses and become saints.

Within the Purple Cloud Palace, aside from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, probably only East King Duke possessed many spirit treasures.

West Queen Mother was his Dao Companion. She had used the Thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls to slay her three corpses and attain the Dao, and her cultivation had now reached Quasi-Saint Peak—a height that other innate deities found hard to reach.

If they could obtain spirit treasures bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, slaying their three corpses would become effortless, and their realms would advance by leaps and bounds.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at Old Master Taiqing, his face radiating a peaceful immortal aura. His entire demeanor was sacred and noble, like a kind master.

With a slight stir of his divine power, he produced the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram.

Boundless Yin-Yang Taiji energy spread out, visions appearing in the Void. Above the Purple Cloud Palace, a golden Taiji bridge manifested, displaying the might to suppress ten thousand ages.

"That's the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram! When the Dao Ancestor fought Old Ancestor Yangmei, it unleashed unimaginable power. Who will he bestow it upon?"

Among the innate deities, someone shouted.

"Who else? It has to be Old Master Taiqing!"

"Didn't you see the Dao Ancestor's eyes fixed on him? It's a pity my talent is shallow. If only I were also born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit!"

"How tragic!"

Indeed!

"This is the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram. It was transformed from the axe head of Pangu's Axe. It can separate clarity from turbidity, stabilize Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, and encompass the myriad phenomena of the universe!"

"Its defense is supremely formidable, containing the ultimate principles of Yin and Yang, profound and boundless. This is the method of the Four Symbols of Taiji, with endless transformations. Whatever the mind conceives, that thing appears; whatever the heart contemplates, that matter arises. When activated, no evil can topple it, no law can break it. The possessor will stand undefeated in the primordial realm!"

"Old Master Taiqing is the head of the Mystic Gate and the foremost of the Three Pure Ones. He is worthy of receiving this treasure!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun declared loudly. The Taiji Diagram, under his divine power, evolved various divine abilities and might, sweeping the entire Purple Cloud Palace with immortal methods.

With a casual wave, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sent the Taiji Diagram into Old Master Taiqing's embrace.

Innate Supreme Treasures—within the Primordial Wilderness, they could be counted on two hands.

Old Master Taiqing was born with the Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Exquisite Pagoda.

Now, with the addition of the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, unless someone surpassed him in realm or an offensive-type Innate Supreme Treasure of the highest order appeared, Old Master Taiqing's defense would be unmatched, making it impossible for him to be defeated or severely injured.

Truly, a turtle-like Old Master!

"It's a pity that the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, has no fate with This Emperor. Otherwise, using this supreme treasure to wield the Yin-Yang Law, my combat power would be terrifying!"

"I hope that in the future, I can exchange with Old Master Taiqing for this Innate Supreme Treasure. If I could gather the Chaos Bell, the Taiji Diagram, and the Pangu Banner, then Pangu's Axe could reappear in the world!"

East King Duke watched this scene, thoughts churning in his mind.

Of the five Lotus Platforms, he had already gathered the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus and the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus. Only the last three Lotus Platforms remained before he could begin his plan to cultivate the Chaos Green Lotus.

Aside from Old Ancestor Minghe's Twelve-Petal Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus that Jieyin would obtain, the hardest to acquire was the final Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus.

After the War of Dao and Demon, Demon Ancestor Luohu transformed into an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, and the God-Slaying Spear along with the Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus vanished without a trace, their whereabouts unknown to this day.

On the Cloud Platform, another banner appeared in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's hand.

"This is the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Banner, one of the Three Treasures of Creation."

"It can suppress Merit and Destiny and is a supreme killing treasure. When unfurled, it can tear the Void and shatter the power of all heavens and ages, with endless might."

"Yuanshi, this treasure is fated for you!"

With that, Dao Ancestor Hongjun bestowed the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Banner, upon Yuanshi, who immediately knelt to express his gratitude.

One had to admit, this master was well-chosen.

First the Primordial Violet Qi, then an Innate Supreme Treasure.

This made the other innate deities gnash their teeth in envy, especially Old Ancestor Hongyun, who was also captivated by the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner.

An Innate Supreme Treasure—who wouldn't want one?

"Tongtian, this is the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. It is also the Heavenly Dao's supreme killing treasure. The sword formation was refined by Demon Ancestor Luohu from the killing aura of the Three Races, so it is filled with boundless killing intent and extreme danger."

"Any who are not Heavenly Dao Saints who enter this formation will be annihilated and fall in an instant."

"Not only that, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation cannot be broken without four saints. Therefore, you must use it with caution!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's eyes flashed with golden light. He looked at Tongtian, a hint of regret in his heart, for the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was a killing treasure and could not suppress Merit and Destiny.

After all, Tongtian was his disciple, so Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not reveal the Heavenly Secrets.

Tongtian's calamity lay in the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and also in the sect he would establish in the future.

"Tongtian thanks Master!"

As his primordial spirit was imprinted into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, terrifying killing intent poured out wantonly. Every living being felt as if a sharp blade hung above their heads.

Seeing this, East King Duke shook his head slightly.

The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation has both advantages and disadvantages, but it is especially suited to Tongtian's sword path.

However, in the future, the Jie Sect founded by Tongtian would stray from the right path under his leadership, brewing countless killing tribulations and karmic debts. Coupled with the karma of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect, this ultimately led to the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

Compared to Old Master Taiqing and Yuanshi, Tongtian still needs to temper his Dao heart anew. Otherwise, the sword path can destroy powerful enemies but also wound the self—truly a double-edged blade, where fortune and misfortune intertwine.

Having done all this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked toward Nuwa.

This woman was his inner disciple. In principle, it would suffice to grant her a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. However, Nuwa and East King Duke had formed a karmic bond as Dao Companions, and she had now comprehended the Law of Creation.

If that supreme treasure were added on top, Nuwa's merit would be unparalleled and supreme.

After a moment's hesitation, three streams of light appeared before Dao Ancestor Hongjun. The first was the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Qiankun Diagram, the second was the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Red Embroidered Ball.

As for the last, it was a massive cauldron.

"Nuwa, you bear a heavenly mandate. This humble Daoist bestows upon you the Mountain and River Diagram, the Red Embroidered Ball, and the Innate Supreme Treasure Qiankun Cauldron."

"The Qiankun Cauldron contains the Power of Life Creation. It can reverse the innate and refine a Postnatal Spirit Treasure into an Innate Spirit Treasure. If combined with the art of artifact refinement, it can even create Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."

Above the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus.

East King Duke was stunned, staring at Dao Ancestor Hongjun in disbelief.

In the original history, Nuwa had only obtained two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. As for the Qiankun Cauldron, it had only appeared during Nuwa's mending of the heavens, and even then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had merely lent it to her.

If the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Immortal Slaying Sword Formation were all primarily combat-oriented, then the Innate Supreme Treasure Qiankun Cauldron bestowed upon Nuwa was a walking arsenal.

Innate Spiritual Treasures far surpassed Postnatal Spirit Treasures in power, and Postnatal Spirit Treasures could not sever the Three Corpses. Thus, possessing the Qiankun Cauldron meant one could create countless armies of Quasi-Saints.

Even the weakest Quasi-Saint far surpassed a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal in strength.

It had to be said that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had gone all out, granting the Qiankun Cauldron to Nuwa.

"The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil is originally an innate spiritual material. If used with the Power of Life Creation within the Qiankun Cauldron to create the innate human race, then the potential of humanity would be no less than that of ordinary Innate Deities!"

"Truly, terrifying to the extreme!"

At this moment, East King Duke finally understood Dao Ancestor Hongjun's goodwill.

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fondness toward him.

"Zhunti, Jieyin, you are this humble Daoist's nominal disciples. Therefore, I grant you Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!"

"The Blessing Divine Staff and the Five-Flower Dust Whisk belong to Zhunti."

"The Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus and the Azure Sky Divine Sword belong to Jieyin!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's jade sleeve moved slightly, and four streams of light landed in the arms of Zhunti and Jieyin, leaving the two stunned and bewildered.

Were nominal disciples really so unworthy?

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa all received Innate Supreme Treasures, yet when it came to them, only Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures remained, without even an introduction. Truly a miserable sight.

"The Azure Sky Divine Sword is likely related to the Chaos Demon God Old Ancestor Cangtian. It contains innate Geng Metal Qi and is quite compatible with Jieyin."

East King Duke murmured to himself, seeing through the origin of the Azure Sky Divine Sword.

Azure Heaven, Yellow Heaven, and Blue Heaven were born in the Chaos Era, ranking among the upper echelons of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods. They had once appeared during the Fierce Beast Calamity but had ultimately vanished without a trace.

Thinking this, East King Duke's lips curled slightly.

The Primordial World was becoming more and more interesting!
