Primordial World.
Penglai Immortal Mountain.
The Heavenly Emperor Seal floated above East King Duke's head.
Boundless auspiciousness converged upon the Heavenly Emperor Seal.
Some of it came from East King Duke's auspiciousness as Head of Male Immortals, while some came from believers such as Ying Zheng.
Faced with this powerful surge of auspiciousness, the Heavenly Emperor Seal's aura was growing rapidly.
Lower-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure!
Middle-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure!
Upper-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure!
It wasn't until it reached the level of a Top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure that its growth showed signs of slowing.
But the Heavenly Emperor Seal soon broke through its limit and continued surging onward like a galloping steed that couldn't be stopped.
Outside Penglai Immortal Mountain, Tribulation Clouds gathered in the sky. Their oppressive aura made all living beings within thousands of miles prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling.
The Heavenly Emperor Seal flew straight out of Penglai Immortal Mountain's Innate Grand Formation and appeared beneath the Tribulation Clouds, completely unafraid.
The aura around it continued to rise without end.
Lower-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Middle-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Upper-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
At that moment, wondrous signs filled the sky throughout the Primordial World. Sweet dew fell from the heavens, Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth, and all living beings, regardless of their cultivation, instinctively turned to look toward Penglai Immortal Mountain.
"What a powerful aura! A supreme treasure has appeared!"
"What level of treasure is this, to manifest such wondrous signs?!"
"Could another Innate Supreme Treasure have appeared?"
Countless powerful figures in seclusion across the Primordial World awoke from their cultivation. They tried to divine the heavenly secrets, but saw only a veil of mist.
Northern Demon Court.
Di Jun sat at the head of the court, listening to the Demon Gods discuss state affairs.
But he suddenly stood up, his expression turning grim.
"An Innate Supreme Treasure has appeared?!"
The reason their Demon Court could dominate the Primordial World, after all, was not only their Quasi-Saint cultivation, but also the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell.
Ever since Hongjun became a Saint, the Eastern Emperor Bell had been the only Innate Supreme Treasure in the Primordial World.
Even the Three Pure Ones, who claimed to be Pangu's True Lineage, had no Supreme Treasure to protect them.
If someone else obtained this Supreme Treasure, it would be enough to upset the balance of the Primordial World.
"Eldest Brother, there's no need to worry. The Eastern Emperor Bell told me that it isn't an Innate Supreme Treasure. Though it's more powerful than a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it can't compare to an Innate Supreme Treasure."
Taiyi approached, carrying the Eastern Emperor Bell in his hands, and reassured Di Jun.
At this, Di Jun's expression eased a little.
But only a little.
"In any case, this treasure will remain a threat to us. Where is Bai Ze?"
"I'm here."
Bai Ze stepped forward at the call.
"Find out where this treasure came from and who has obtained it."
All Innate Spiritual Treasures possessed a spiritual nature, let alone treasures like Innate Supreme Treasures.
Like the Eastern Emperor Bell, once it acknowledged Taiyi as its master, no one could claim it—not even a Saint, even if Taiyi died.
With such a commotion accompanying the treasure's appearance, it would surely seek out a destined master.
East Kunlun.
The Three Pure Ones abruptly opened their eyes, sensing the supreme aura coming from beyond the horizon.
"A Half-step Innate Supreme Treasure. It seems the Primordial World will have yet another variable in the future."
With that, they closed their eyes again and resumed their deep meditation.
"Heavenly Emperor Auspiciousness, fuse with it!"
East King Duke stood beneath the Tribulation Clouds, a trace of madness flashing through his eyes.
After becoming the Heavenly Emperor, he had gained Heavenly Emperor Auspiciousness.
But he had yet to establish a faction, so his Heavenly Emperor Auspiciousness had only just begun to take shape and was unstable.
Forcing out his auspiciousness now would inevitably affect his future development.
It might even cause complications after he established the Immortal Court.
But compared to obtaining an Innate Supreme Treasure, this was a small price to pay.
As the golden-purple auspiciousness, noble and imposing, flew from East King Duke's body toward the Heavenly Emperor Seal,
heaven and earth rumbled in an instant.
The Tribulation Clouds that had gathered overhead vanished, replaced by purple qi filling the sky. A joyful feeling spread throughout the Primordial World, as if all of creation were celebrating the appearance of an Innate Supreme Treasure.
"An Innate Supreme Treasure? How is that possible!"
The Three Pure Ones and the others were so shaken that they could no longer remain seated. In alarm, they hurried to the Ninth Heaven.
An Innate Supreme Treasure and a Half-step Innate Supreme Treasure were on entirely different levels.
Much like a Saint and a Quasi-Saint.
They could afford to ignore a Half-step Innate Supreme Treasure, but now they could no longer disregard the Heavenly Emperor Seal.
After all, an Innate Supreme Treasure possessed unmatched power and was a Magic Treasure that only a Saint could fully wield.
An ordinary immortal with an Innate Supreme Treasure could even stand against a Quasi-Saint.
Demon Court.
The Eastern Emperor Bell in Taiyi's hands rang out incessantly, filling heaven and earth with joy and battle intent.
"Eldest Brother, an Innate Supreme Treasure has appeared. I'll go investigate it myself!"
Taiyi said solemnly.
No one understood the power of an Innate Supreme Treasure better than he did. He couldn't possibly take this lightly.
"Good. If the treasure has already chosen a master, try to invite him to join the Demon Court. If he refuses, be sure not to offend him."
Western lands, Spiritual Mountain.
At the summit, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree swayed, its divine light falling upon Jieyin and Zhunti's shoulders.
But their mood was far from cheerful.
Zhunti gazed eastward, full of envy and jealousy.
"Damn it. If our Western lands hadn't been ruined in that great battle, our opportunities would surely be no less than those in the East."
"Junior Brother, be silent!"
At this, Jieyin's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly spoke up.
That battle had involved the Dao Ancestor. To discuss it now was tantamount to speaking ill of a Saint. How could he not be alarmed?
Hearing this, Zhunti realized he'd said the wrong thing. For a while, the two had nothing to say to each other.
In the end, all that remained was a sigh.
"Alas, when will our Western lands finally prosper?"
Zhenyuanzi, Hong Yun, Fuxi, Nuwa, and the other Ancient Great Gods were also deeply shocked.
But they didn't say anything, their reaction no more than simple astonishment.
As Ancient Great Gods, their Magic Treasures might not be as powerful as an Innate Supreme Treasure, but they were still among the top figures in the Primordial World.
As long as they stayed out of worldly affairs and avoided entangling themselves in karma, even if another tribulation arose, it wouldn't affect them.
As heaven and earth's celebration and the myriad Dao's resonant cry gradually faded,
many Ancient Great Powers abandoned their plans to continue traveling and returned to their respective abodes to cultivate in seclusion.
Penglai Immortal Mountain.
"An Innate Supreme Treasure!"
East King Duke looked at the Heavenly Emperor Seal as it slowly descended, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
Although his cultivation was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, with the Heavenly Emperor Seal in hand, he no longer feared Di Jun and the others.
"If Di Jun finds out this Innate Supreme Treasure is in my hands, I wonder how he'll feel. Hahaha!"
He remembered all too well how Di Jun and the others had threatened him.
Back when his cultivation was weak, his strongest Magic Treasure was merely the Sky Measuring Ruler bestowed by the Dao Ancestor. Naturally, they hadn't taken him seriously.
But now, aside from Taiyi's Eastern Emperor Bell, he could sweep through the entire Demon Court.
"Stay calm, stay calm. I'm not invincible yet. Don't get carried away!"
East King Duke forced himself to calm down.
And just then,
a mechanical notification sounded in his ear.
[Group member Ye Fan sent you a Red Packet containing the Source Heavenly Book. Please check your inbox!]
Hearing this, East King Duke was stunned.
"The Source Heavenly Book?!"
