Seeing that no one else spoke, Hong Jun continued, "In my early years, I traveled the Primordial World and collected some Innate Spiritual Treasures."
"Now that I am about to Combine with Dao and make up for the deficiencies of the Heavenly Dao, there is no use in keeping these Innate Spiritual Treasures. I shall distribute them among you, for use in entrusting your three corpses."
"Thirty thousand li southeast of Purple Cloud Palace lies a Treasure Distribution Cliff. All the Innate Spiritual Treasures I have collected are stored there. You may go to Treasure Distribution Cliff and seek your treasures."
As he spoke, the gates of Purple Cloud Palace had already opened, and the location of Treasure Distribution Cliff appeared in everyone's minds.
The cultivators who heard this feared that even thanking the Dao Ancestor would waste precious time. They all rushed out of Purple Cloud Palace, afraid that if they were too slow, others would seize the advantage first.
Even the Sanqing and the Two Sages of the West were no exception. They transformed into streaks of light and rushed out of Purple Cloud Palace. In the blink of an eye, the entire Purple Cloud Palace was empty.
At that moment, Qing Xuan slowly rose to his feet and respectfully bowed to Hong Jun. "Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for bestowing these treasures. This disciple will first go to Treasure Distribution Cliff to test his fortune, then return to thank the Dao Ancestor."
Seeing Qing Xuan behave this way, Nuwa, Fu Xi, and Houtu likewise bowed to Hong Jun in thanks before leaving Purple Cloud Palace with him.
This sudden turn of events left Hong Jun Stunned, for it was quite unlike what he had expected.
In Hong Jun's eyes, the other cultivators' behavior was normal. Qing Xuan and the others, on the other hand, seemed rather abnormal.
Meanwhile, Qing Xuan and the others had arrived at Treasure Distribution Cliff. The moment they reached its outskirts, they heard a chorus of curses.
It turned out that, relying on their superior cultivation and the Innate Supreme Treasures in their hands, the Sanqing had actually monopolized Treasure Distribution Cliff.
Looking at the Immortal Slaying Four Swords floating in mid-air, Qing Xuan could not help sighing. Then he said, "Come on. Today, I want to see whether the Sanqing truly dare stop me."
As he spoke, Qing Xuan led Nuwa and the others toward Treasure Distribution Cliff. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before Tongtian, who was guarding the entrance.
When Tongtian saw that it was Qing Xuan, a troubled expression appeared on his face. After all, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had instructed him to hold everyone back first.
Later, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun would take turns using the Innate Supreme Treasures in their hands to block the crowd, allowing Tongtian to enter Treasure Distribution Cliff and search for treasures.
Just as Tongtian was caught in a dilemma, Qing Xuan spoke. "Move aside. Do not make This Daoist strip you of your dignity before so many people."
As he spoke, the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler appeared in Qing Xuan's hand. It was as though he would strike the moment Tongtian dared obstruct him.
After glancing at the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler, Tongtian sensibly stepped aside and said, "Daoist friends, please."
Qing Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then led Nuwa and the others directly into Treasure Distribution Cliff.
As he passed Tongtian, Qing Xuan did not forget to reach out and pat him on the shoulder. He said meaningfully, "Hold fast to your true heart. Do not let the falsehood before your eyes blind you. If anything happens in the future, you may come to Fangzhang Island and find This Daoist."
Tongtian nodded blankly, watching helplessly as Qing Xuan and the others entered Treasure Distribution Cliff.
Seeing Qing Xuan and the others enter Treasure Distribution Cliff so easily, the Two Sages of the West and the other cultivators could not help stirring with anticipation, each wanting to imitate Qing Xuan.
But the moment they took a step forward, the Immortal Slaying Four Swords let out waves of sword hums. Tongtian even gave a Cold Snort and said, "Scram."
Meanwhile, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were searching for treasures within Treasure Distribution Cliff. One unfolded the Taiji Diagram, while the other unfurled the Pangu Banner.
Laozi collected the Eight Sceneries Palace Lantern, the Ground Leaving Flame Light Banner, and the other Eight Sceneries spiritual treasures into the Taiji Diagram. Yuanshi Tianzun likewise gathered the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, the Jade Void Palace Lantern, and the other Jade Void spiritual treasures into the Pangu Banner.
Just as Yuanshi Tianzun saw the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud and intended to collect it into the Pangu Banner, a Purple Gold Gourd descended directly from the sky and, a step ahead of Yuanshi Tianzun, took away the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud.
Yuanshi Tianzun's brows instantly furrowed. Inwardly, he blamed Tongtian for his poor work. But when he saw that the newcomer was Qing Xuan, his expression changed as well.
He wanted to fight Qing Xuan, yet he feared the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler in Qing Xuan's hand. In the end, he could only give a Cold Snort and head in another direction.
Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun be so sensible, Qing Xuan did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he began searching Treasure Distribution Cliff for Innate Spiritual Treasures fated to be his.
Something is wrong. Although Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun entered Treasure Distribution Cliff first, they could not possibly have stripped it bare, could they?
Even Tongtian has not entered yet. So why is there not even a single Biyou Palace spiritual treasure left, such as the Primordial Golden Dou and the Sea Calming Pearl?
Could it be that Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun collected them for Tongtian first, planning for the three brothers to divide the spoils after returning?
Looking at the barren Treasure Distribution Cliff, Qing Xuan could not help letting his thoughts run wild. At that moment, Nuwa ran over with a face full of joy and said to Qing Xuan, "Little Gourd Vine, look! I got so many Innate Spiritual Treasures, and several of them are even supreme grade."
As she spoke, Nuwa displayed the Innate Spiritual Treasures she had obtained before Qing Xuan. Among them were the Fire Spirit Pearl, the Precious Lotus Lantern, and the other Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures that had originally belonged to Nuwa in the Primordial World Trajectory.
Seeing this, Qing Xuan finally understood. He smiled and said, "So that is how it is. Hong Jun had already assigned these Innate Spiritual Treasures long ago."
"Even if the Three Thousand Purple Cloud Palace Guests entered Treasure Distribution Cliff at the same time, the Innate Spiritual Treasures meant for someone would still belong to that person. Trying to snatch them away midway is absolutely impossible."
Having grasped the crux of the matter, Qing Xuan said to Nuwa, "Do you still want to try your luck? If so, hurry and keep looking. Otherwise, let us leave."
Seeing that Qing Xuan had obtained only the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, Nuwa could not help saying, "Little Gourd Vine, are you not planning to take a few more?"
"Though I know you do not lack Innate Spiritual Treasures, it would still be good to take some back and distribute them to your disciples in the future."
Qing Xuan smiled helplessly and briefly explained the problem he had discovered to Nuwa.
After hearing this, Nuwa said, "You mean even this Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud was snatched from Yuanshi Tianzun?"
Qing Xuan nodded. "Yes. Otherwise, I fear I would not have seen a single Innate Spiritual Treasure on this Treasure Distribution Cliff."
After hearing this, Nuwa's eyes shifted, and then she Showed Joy as she said to Qing Xuan, "Then isn't that easy? Just wait here on Treasure Distribution Cliff. When others come in later, follow them."
"If you find a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure you like, we will simply snatch it. I refuse to believe that if even Yuanshi Tianzun could not keep his, they can."
Hearing Nuwa's utterly bandit-like logic, Qing Xuan smiled helplessly. "Are you planning to make me offend every Primordial World Cultivator?"
"Forget it. We should do less of this sort of thing that stains us with Karma. Hurry and see how Elder Brother and Houtu are doing."
