The Mysteries of Treasure Distribution Cliff, Dao Ancestor Hongjun Bestows Marriage!

"Wah wah wah!"

"Please, Teacher, grant us spiritual treasures! We have no innate spiritual treasures to slay our Three Corpses or protect ourselves—in this Primordial World, we have no place to stand!"

Instantly!

Within the Purple Cloud Palace, cries and wails rose to the heavens, tears falling like rain.

Sorrowful sounds echoed, as if mourning the dead, plunging heaven and earth into utter gloom.

The innate gods who had not obtained spiritual treasures wept bitterly. After all, they could still be considered students of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Even if they did not receive the same treatment as Old Master Taiqing, Nuwa, and other disciples of the Mystic Gate, they ought to gain something. Otherwise, once Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Dao, they would get nothing at all.

"Enough!"

"Do not weep and wail so. I have set up the Treasure Distribution Cliff billions of miles beyond the Purple Cloud Palace, sealed with many spiritual treasures I have gathered!"

"Go forth and seek what is fated for you. After claiming your treasures, you may return to the Purple Cloud Palace to witness the ceremony of merging with the Dao!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun let out a long sigh and lightly raised his right hand.

The gates of the Purple Cloud Palace swung open instantly, and a vast surge of immortal energy guided the innate gods. Without a moment's hesitation, they unleashed their divine powers and sped toward the Treasure Distribution Cliff.

In an instant, the Purple Cloud Palace fell silent and empty, leaving only the few on the cushions and East King Duke quietly in place. They had already received supreme opportunities and had no desire to be overly greedy.

Seeing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun revealed a kind smile.

"You too, go seek your spiritual treasures!"

"After I merge with the Dao, the Primordial World must continue to develop under your leadership. Once you prove Dao and become saints, you must not interfere excessively in the affairs of the Primordial World, or the Heavenly Dao will bring down calamities upon you!"

"Go now!"

With a gentle wave of his jade sleeve, East King Duke and the others were swept out of the Purple Cloud Palace, crossing endless distances as they fell toward the Treasure Distribution Cliff.

At that moment, divine powers flew wildly over the Treasure Distribution Cliff, as great beings had already begun fighting over the treasures.

Boundless Mysterious Light, radiant divine glow—innate spiritual treasures dazzled the eyes, leaving everyone bewildered. Yet, seals laid down by Dao Ancestor Hongjun covered them, requiring considerable effort to claim.

Standing within the Void, West Queen Mother, Nuwa, Fuxi, Qiongqi, and others stood beside East King Duke. Without his permission, none of the four made a move.

"Each of you, go seek what is fated for you. This Emperor has sensed no supreme spiritual treasure among them, so these treasures have no connection with me!"

"Besides, This Emperor looks down on them!"

East King Duke spoke slowly, a faint glimmer flashing in his eyes as he focused on the Treasure Distribution Cliff. He felt as though some secret lay hidden within.

After all, in his past life as a writer of Primordial World novels, the Treasure Distribution Cliff was always the supreme treasure the protagonist had to obtain after Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished his lectures.

But from the look of it, East King Duke found nothing remarkable.

"Could it be that the Treasure Distribution Cliff is utterly ordinary?"

East King Duke furrowed his brow slightly. At that moment, the World Tree Seed within his Primordial Spirit suddenly burst with divine light, conveying some kind of message through the unseen.

It seemed the World Tree Seed could devour the Treasure Distribution Cliff!

Before long, the countless spiritual treasures on the Treasure Distribution Cliff all fell into the hands of the Three Thousand Innate Gods. Among them, the Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi, Nuwa, and other top-tier gods gained the most.

Among the countless spiritual treasures, top-grade innate spiritual treasures were few and far between. However, the Four Spirits of Heaven Opening did appear.

The Water Spirit of Heaven Opening was devoured by Old Ancestor Kunpeng.

The Wind Spirit of Heaven Opening fell into the hands of Old Ancestor Hongyun.

As for the remaining Earth Spirit of Heaven Opening, it went to Nuwa, while the Fire Spirit of Heaven Opening, matching Qiongqi's Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire divine ability, was collected by him using the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Gourd.

The Four Spirits of Heaven Opening were innate spiritual objects, treasures of the top-grade innate spiritual treasure level.

"Fellow Daoists, since you have all claimed your spiritual treasures, this Treasure Distribution Cliff now belongs to This Emperor!"

"Collect!"

Boundless Primordial Spirit power surged, directly drawing the Treasure Distribution Cliff into his Primordial Spirit.

At that moment, within East King Duke's sea of Primordial Spirit, the World Tree Seed trembled, erupting with terrifying divine light and Dao Resonance, gradually digesting the Treasure Distribution Cliff through supreme principles.

[Ding!]

[Detected World Tree Seed absorbing a Chaos Creature. Growth value increased by 20%!]

The system's voice echoed slowly, and East King Duke finally understood.

So the Treasure Distribution Cliff was once a Chaos Creature, slain by a Chaos Demon God during the Chaos Era. Its flesh and origin had lain dormant, seeking rebirth.

Its realm and level—at the time of its fall, it was likely at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Unfortunately, it was merely an ordinary Chaos Creature, not one of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, so the World Tree Seed's growth value only increased by 20%.

Even so, East King Duke was overjoyed.

He had obtained the Space Willow Tree and part of Old Ancestor Yangmei's origin blood essence, but feeding them to the World Tree Seed would be far too wasteful, as they were treasures for cultivating the Space Dao.

The Treasure Distribution Cliff had just solved his urgent problem.

If you find this book enjoyable, to avoid losing it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.

A 20% growth value—that's already quite high!

After the spiritual treasures were distributed, the crowd flew toward the direction of Purple Cloud Palace.

"Big Brother, what spiritual treasure did you obtain?" Tongtian asked with a smile, looking at Old Master Taiqing.

Hearing this, the latter stirred his magic power slightly, and a series of phantom images appeared before Tongtian. The Eight Scenery Palace Lantern, the Taiji Bagua Furnace, the Purple Mansion Sword... all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, along with many mid- and low-grade innate spiritual treasures—it could be said he had reaped a rich harvest.

Seeing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian were both deeply envious.

"As expected of Big Brother!" the two said admiringly, and they each revealed the treasures they had obtained, but in both quantity and quality, they were far inferior to Old Master Taiqing's haul.

In an instant!

The Three Thousand Innate Gods returned to Purple Cloud Palace.

"The third sermon is complete. This old Daoist has also achieved Perfection of Merit, and now it is time to merge with the Dao! But before that, I have one more matter to announce!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said slowly, glancing at Yaochi Boy beside him and East King Duke below, then seated himself upright on the Cloud Platform, his aura vast and natural.

Yaochi and Haotian were enlightened by Dao Ancestor Hongjun during the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation and had followed him for countless years. Both were flawless in character and aptitude. However, Haotian was destined to endure countless tribulations and bore the fate and mandate of the Lord of Heaven and Earth. As for Yaochi Boy, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not wish her to bear too many responsibilities, so he intended to entrust her to East King Duke.

For after merging with the Dao, Hongjun would become the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao would not be Hongjun. All bonds of master and disciple, friendship, and kinship would have to be cast aside. Only by prioritizing the grand trends of heaven and earth and the interests of the Primordial Wilderness could Dao Ancestor Hongjun fulfill his immortal path's mission.

"Yaochi, East King Duke! This old Daoist sees that Yaochi's heart is pure and East King Duke's character is excellent. Therefore, I specially grant you a marriage and issue this decree, allowing you to become Dao Companions. What say you both?"

As Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words fell, the entire Purple Cloud Palace erupted in discussion, and the expressions of the great powers varied. East King Duke—truly Dao Ancestor Hongjun's favored son! Earlier, he had been granted supreme treasures and Primordial Violet Qi, and now he was being given Yaochi Boy, who had served the Dao Ancestor for countless years, as a Dao Companion. Wasn't this clearly declaring them as one family?

"Daoist East King Duke, even Yaochi Boy you won't let go—truly shameless! Yet for some reason, this old Daoist feels a surge of envy rising in his heart. It truly disturbs my Dao heart!" Old Ancestor Hongyun whispered into Zhen Yuanzi's ear.

Good Buddies, for countless years! But it couldn't compare to having a Dao Companion by one's side—at night, she could even warm the bed.

"Hmph! How about this old Daoist find you a few Female Immortals?" Zhen Yuanzi directly punched Old Ancestor Hongyun.

This man had his own dojo but refused to go there, instead mooching off him in Wuzhuang Temple for so many years, eating his food and sleeping in his home, taking every advantage. For this, Zhen Yuanzi expressed that he was deeply wounded.

Inside Purple Cloud Palace, Yaochi Boy blushed shyly, unable to help glancing at East King Duke. Her eyes sparkled with adoring starlight, making her exceptionally lovely. His towering figure and majestic aura stirred the spring of her heart.

Haotian Boy clenched his fists tightly, then slowly relaxed them. Yaochi was his sister—he could not harbor such thoughts!

"I have no objections. I am willing to become Dao Companions with Yaochi, to live and die together from now on, and will never betray the Dao Ancestor's kind intentions. May heaven and earth strike me down if I do!" East King Duke stood up and bowed to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

West Queen Mother and Nuwa exchanged glances in the void, both seeing the helplessness in each other's hearts. An invisible killing intent enveloped East King Duke. They had gained another sister, and though they bore no ill will, a bloody battle with East King Duke to vent their anger seemed only fitting.

But would that bloody battle be proper?

"Yaochi will follow the Master's decision!" Then, a divine light enveloped Yaochi Boy. Her originally petite figure fully matured in that moment—both her peaks and her long, slender legs stirred a desire for possession.

Seeing Yaochi's agreement, Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded slightly. Haotian had ambition and strength, enough to contend for the Co-Lord of Heaven and Earth and scheme for Merit and Destiny, but Yaochi was not of the same path. By pairing Yaochi with East King Duke as Dao Companions, Dao Ancestor Hongjun also wished to make Haotian sever his worldly heart, cultivate the Great Dao in peace, and soon take up his heavenly mandate.

"Now, this old Daoist should merge with the Dao..."
