Bai Ze held the Jade Slip, his brows furrowed slightly, and pondered for a moment before saying:
"Your Majesty.
In my humble opinion, the establishment of this " Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure " is indeed beneficial to the operation of heaven and earth and to reducing disorderly struggles. In the long run, it may slightly slow down the growth of Primordial Wilderness Calamity Qi.
However, its implementation will inevitably be slow, and the value standards are determined by Heaven and Earth, which is not something our Heavenly Court can fully control."
"Its advantage lies in the fact that, if properly guided, this 'Tongbao' system can be used to more efficiently integrate and schedule the resources of the Primordial Wilderness."
Those who have rendered meritorious service will be rewarded, and taxes will be levied to strengthen the Heavenly Court's implicit influence over the economic lifeline of all races.
For example, the Heavenly Court could stipulate that certain special Star Essence Gold, spiritual materials, and even the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Realm for cultivation must be exchanged for a certain number of ' Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure '.
"The drawback is that this item reduces the 'convenience' of purely plundering by force, which may affect the habits and interests of some powerful Demon Clan."
Furthermore, it is closely related to the Earthly Dao, and Zhenyuanzi was the initiator. In the future, it may become a channel for the Earthly Dao to infiltrate and influence the economic order of the Primordial Wilderness.
More importantly, its 'fair value' characteristic subtly conflicts with the absolute authority of our Heavenly Court to Administer Punishment on Behalf of Heaven and exercise power and grace at its own discretion.'
Upon hearing this, Di Jun slowly nodded:
"In that case, this matter should not be taken lightly."
You are hereby ordered to conduct in-depth research on the laws governing this ' Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure ', analyze its possible mechanisms of condensation, circulation, and exchange, and assess its specific impact on the various tribes of the Demon Clan and on the rule of the Heavenly Court.
At the same time, we are closely monitoring the reactions and measures taken by the Witch Clan, the Sanqing, and the Western Lands regions in response to this matter.
"Our Heavenly Court cannot lag behind others in such new matters that could potentially shape the future, much less be controlled by them."
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Bai Ze bowed and accepted the order, knowing full well the importance of the matter, and immediately began to carry it out.
Di Jun gazed at Bai Ze's departing figure, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
He knew that in this Primordial Wilderness game of chess, a new piece had been added, seemingly insignificant, yet potentially impacting the entire domain.
Buzhou Mountain, Pangu Hall.
Unlike the Heavenly Court's careful analysis, the Witch Clan's reaction was more direct, but not entirely reckless.
Ancestor Witch Dijiang, summoned the All Ancestor Witches, his face grim.
" Zhenyuanzi created a ' Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure ' and received a joint response from the Heavenly Dao Earthly Dao?"
Gonggong, the Ancestor Witch, roared first, "I think he just wants to use this damn 'money' to bind my Witch Clan!"
We, the Witch Clan Warriors, will obtain whatever we desire through our own abilities! Why should we use any 'ingots' for trade?
Zhu Rong also shouted:
"That's right! It must be the work of those cunning scoundrels! They want my Witch Clan to follow their rules too?"
However, Ancestral Witch Houtu, was relatively calm. She embodied Reincarnation and possessed a deeper understanding of Karma and order than the other Ancestor Witch.
"Brothers, calm down. This matter... may not be all bad."
She said slowly, "This 'Tongbao' is intended to clarify value and Fair Transaction."
Our Witch Clan is not skilled in crafting artifacts or alchemy, and many of the external materials required for cultivation are lacking.
Indeed, they often need to exchange with other races. In the past, they mostly bartered or extorted goods by force, which was inconvenient and easily led to karmic Karma.
If there were a fair intermediary, many unnecessary conflicts could be reduced, and the necessary information could be obtained more easily.
The River of Time rippled slightly in Zhu Jiuyin's eyes, and he said:
"What Houtu said makes sense."
Moreover, this matter has been witnessed by Heaven and Earth, the merits have been bestowed, and the general trend has begun to take shape.
Blindly resisting may be detrimental to me.
We need to study its principles, understand its advantages and disadvantages, and see if it can be used by our Witch Clan.
At the very least, we cannot allow the Demon Clan to use this opportunity to strangle our Witch Clan economically and in terms of resources."
Ancestor Witch Dijiang made the final decision:
" Houtu, you have the deepest connection with the Earthly Dao and are the most sensitive to this Newborn Law."
This matter will be entrusted to you to investigate and see how this ' Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure ' works and what impact it has on the cultivation, war preparations, and material circulation of our Witch Clan.
At the same time, in the Netherworld, one must also be careful to see if this 'treasure' law will affect the Reincarnation Operation or the punishments of Hell.
Houtu nodded solemnly. "I understand." She knew that in the face of these newly emerging rules, the Witch Clan also needed to keep up with the times and could not act recklessly.
Kunlun Mountain, Three Pure Ones Hall.
When the Sanqing gathered, the atmosphere was much more peaceful than when the Witch and Demon were together, and it leaned more towards academic discussion.
Laozi remained calm, as if he had expected this. "Senior Zhenyuanzi, you truly have the world in your heart."
This action completes the rules, benefits all beings, and is of immeasurable merit.
The determination of 'value' implicitly aligns with the standard of 'Tao,' and is also corroborated by our moral principles.
He values even more the philosophical significance of " the Great Dao is Just " it contains.
The Primordial Heavenly Lord Venerable frowned slightly, scrutinizing the newly born law:
"' Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure '... To measure the value of all things with inanimate objects? Doesn't it know that spiritual Destined, and the Great Dao is priceless?"
If this thing becomes popular, it may cause people to become obsessed with the exchange and measurement of external things, and neglect their own spiritual cultivation and their original background.
However, since it has been witnessed by Heaven and Earth, it must have some merit. I should study its underlying principles and see if they will affect the creation of spiritual treasures and the flow of Fortune."
Although he disliked it, he admitted that he needed to understand it.
The Tongtian Sect Master's eyes lit up, and he slammed his hand on the table, exclaiming:
"Interesting! If this 'Tongbao' can really be used, it will be much easier to exchange treasures with those treasure-hunting guys in the future!"
There's no need to fight and rob all the time; you might even be able to trade for some rare and unusual sword-forging materials!
This needs to be studied to see how to use this 'money' most quickly!
He approached the issue more from a practical and entertaining perspective.
Although the Sanqing had different attitudes, they all unanimously decided to conduct in-depth research on the " Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure " law.
As the Pangu Orthodox, they would not take any new things that might affect the fundamental laws of the Primordial Wilderness lightly.
The Western Lands, the Spirit Mountain Saint Realm.
The responses from Jieyin and Zhunti were the most "positive" and "pragmatic".
Daoist Zhunti's eyes shone brightly, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand moved with incredible speed:
"Senior brother! An opportunity! A tremendous opportunity! The ' Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure ' is of fair value and circulates among all races!"
Doesn't this provide an excellent medium and excuse for the spread of the Western Religious Sect, the circulation of goods, and even the conversion of those with Destined?
Daoist Jieyin's troubled face couldn't hide a hint of calculation:
"What you say is very true, junior brother. Our Western Lands is barren and lacks resources. In the past, we often suffered losses when trading with the Eastern Lands."
If this "Tongbao" can truly be fairly valued, then perhaps the uniquely Western Lands Bodhi and the Eight Treasures Merit Pool Water could be priced and exchanged for Eastern Lands spiritual materials, magical treasures, and even...
The 'redemption fee' for extraditing a Destined cultivator.
This thing has great potential! We need to carefully consider how to maximize our Western Lands interests within this new system, and even...
Could my Western Religious Sect or methods of Karma be embedded in some stage of the formation or circulation of 'Tongbao'?
Two future Western Lands Sage have already regarded this " Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure " as a means to profit from and spread their doctrines.
It has even become an excellent platform for some kind of "financial penetration," and various possibilities have begun to be hotly debated.
The Primordial Land, untamed land was dotted with countless cave dwellings, markets, and gathering points for scattered cultivators.
Unlike the complex thoughts of those high-ranking and powerful beings.
The vast number of unaffiliated, sectarian, or minor clan-born Primordial Wilderness cultivators and beings from the lowest rungs of the primordial world.
After vaguely sensing the concept of the newly emerging " Fair Transaction " principle in the world, the reaction was much simpler and more enthusiastic!
Many rogue cultivators with low cultivation levels, who often fought with others for a spiritual herb or a piece of ore, or were exploited by powerful clans, were almost moved to tears of joy!
"The value of the ' Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure ' is clear?"
That's great! I don't have to worry about being ripped off by those unscrupulous merchants from powerful families anymore!
Finally, there's a universally acknowledged answer as to how many Spirit Stones a piece of star iron is worth!
" Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi! The Ancestor of Earth Immortals!"
"Truly True Immortal who cares for us lowly cultivators! This act is of immeasurable merit and brings blessings to all living beings!"
"With this 'Tongbao', we can easily exchange any unwanted treasures we find during adventures for what we need! It saves us so much risk of fighting!"
"Yes, I've heard it can even Settle Karma?"
"Does that mean we can use 'Tongbao' to repay part of any favors we owe in the future? That's a great rule!"
For a time, Zhenyuanzi's title of " Ancestor of Earth Immortals " was repeatedly sung by countless rogue cultivators and beings at the bottom of society, and the respect and love for him reached a new height.
Although the physical form of " Heaven and Earth Universal Treasure " has not yet appeared widely, and the Detailed Rules of its operation are still unclear.
However, the hope for "fair trade" and "balanced value" that it represents has been deeply planted in the hearts of countless beings, becoming their beautiful aspiration for the future Primordial Order.
