The Supreme Treasure Arrives, the Demon Master Covets!

Although prepared, seeing this scene for the first time, even after cultivating for countless eons, the Three Pure Ones couldn't help but be shocked.

Who would have thought that among the beings of the Honghuang, there would be a Spiritual Root that could gain double the fortune and merit?

"Second Brother, you must protect your Disciple. It hasn't even taken human form yet..."

Laojun didn't finish, but his meaning was clear.

"That is natural."

Yuanshi nodded, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. Although Xuanqing was his first disciple, anyone who dared to bully him would have to face the wrath of this Da Luo Golden Immortal cultivator.

At this moment, after absorbing the Qi of Merit, Xuanqing felt a vast and boundless power surge into his body. This power was not mere magic power, but a higher-level origin energy, rapidly refining his newly broken-through realm and solidifying his foundation immovably.

The Pangu's Clear Qi bestowed by Yuanshi was meticulously refining Xuanqing's newly broken-through True Immortal foundation.

The stability of Yuanshi's clear qi made Xuanqing recall a saying from his past life.

Before entering Mystic Cultivation, seeing Yuanshi was like a frog in a well looking at the moon. After entering Mystic Cultivation, seeing Yuanshi was like a mayfly seeing the vast sky.

If his previous cultivation was like fumbling his way forward, then now, it was as if an invisible giant hand was lifting him and propelling him forward.

After being tempered by Yuanshi's clear qi, coupled with the talent of double merit and fortune, Xuanqing's realm surged again!

Kunlun Mountain, its spiritual energy was so vast and majestic. But now, this spiritual energy seemed to have found an outlet, transforming into visible green qi vortexes, pouring madly towards Xuanqing, this small Purifying Mystic Bamboo.

True Immortal Mid-stage peak... True Immortal Late-stage... True Immortal Late-stage peak...

"Boom!" Mystic Immortal Realm!

"Even with your brother's fortune boost, breaking through two realms in two days is still too astonishing for beings of the Honghuang."

Tongtian sighed as he saw Xuanqing break through.

But this was also the Heavenly Dao Merit bestowed by Yuanshi upon taking a disciple, and it was double. It wasn't strange that Xuanqing's realm could leap so much in a short period.

Laojun nodded in agreement. After seeing Xuanqing break through, the two did not linger and returned to the Jade Void Palace.

A while later.

"Disciple Xuanqing greets Master."

Seeing Yuanshi look over, Xuanqing quickly said.

"Since we are master and disciple, there's no need to be so distant. Today I should have bestowed upon you magic treasures and techniques, but since you haven't taken human form yet, we can only discuss it after you do."

"I shall obey Master's words."

With that, Xuanqing calmed his mind and continued to cultivate. He wanted to take human form quickly before Hongjun achieved sainthood.

Meanwhile, deep within the distant Chaotic Void.

An object wrapped in gold floated quietly.

Its surface resembled chaos, but its interior was filled with golden yellow. This was an unrefined Innate Merit Treasure!

Just before, the aura of merit released by Xuanqing's breakthrough had touched its origin.

"Buzz--!"

The Innate Merit Treasure let out a soft hum. For the first time in its dim form, which had been dormant for hundreds of millions of years, it erupted with brilliant Xuanhuang light. It tore through the chaos before it, locked onto its target, and transformed into a stream of light, shooting directly towards the Honghuang land, in the direction of Kunlun Mountain!

The movement of such a supreme innate treasure instantly alerted countless powerful beings of the Honghuang.

After the Innate Merit Treasure passed through the North Sea, Kunpeng's eyes snapped open. An uncontrollable greed erupted in his sinister eyes.

"An Innate Merit Treasure is appearing! This aura... it's heading towards Kunlun Mountain!"

He divined the heavenly secrets, but found them to be a blur. He only knew that a peerless opportunity was descending. Kunpeng didn't hesitate. He was already one of the fastest beings in the Honghuang. He immediately transformed into a black light, tearing through the void, and pursued the aura.

He had to seize this opportunity!

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Xuanqing was unaware of everything happening outside.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

He only felt the call growing stronger, as if something was rushing towards him with all its might.

Suddenly, the sky above Kunlun Mountain was torn open by a massive rift without warning. A divine light of Xuanhuang, carrying a terrifying pressure like the creation of heaven and earth, shot out from the rift, its target directly at Xuanqing!

What is that?!

Xuanqing's own bamboo leaves trembled, but he could feel no malice in the divine light.

Inside the Jade Void Palace, the Three Pure Ones exchanged glances, their faces filled with unconcealed shock.

"This... this is an Innate Merit Treasure?!"

Outside Kunlun Mountain, a wave of Demonic Qi descended like a dark cloud covering the sky.

"Hahaha! Treasures belong to the virtuous! How can a mere Spiritual Root be worthy of such a treasure!"

A giant black claw, large enough to blot out the sky, appeared out of nowhere. Demonic Qi coiled around it, and the Power of Law intertwined. With one claw, it grabbed towards the Innate Merit Treasure, while another part of its claw wind mercilessly swept towards Xuanqing's body!

Kunpeng actually intended to kill two birds with one stone, taking both the person and the treasure!

"Not good!"

Xuanqing's soul was terrified. He could feel the destructive power contained within the giant claw. Let alone that he hadn't taken human form yet, even with his current Mystic Immortal Realm cultivation, he was like an ant before a great power like Kunpeng!

He couldn't resist at all!

On the brink of life and death, Xuanqing exerted all his strength and shot a divine sense of distress towards the Jade Void Palace above.

"Master!"

Almost the instant his divine sense was sent, a cold snort filled with rage, like divine thunder from the nine heavens, exploded at the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

"Evil beast! How dare you lay a hand on my disciple under the Jade Void Palace!"

Before the words even fell, a giant hand condensed from the primal energy of heaven and earth reached out from within the Jade Void Palace, arriving just in time.

"Bang!"

That black giant claw, filled with monstrous demonic qi, shattered inch by inch before the giant hand of pure energy, dissolving into a sky of black mist.

"Yuanshi!"

Kunpeng's figure staggered into appearance in mid-air. He looked at the direction of the Jade Void Palace in horror, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Yuanshi, clad in white robes, with the Three Treasures Jade Scepter floating beside him, stood on the mountainside of Kunlun Mountain. His eyes were like ten thousand years of profound ice, his aura contained, and though not ostentatious, it made the entire Kunlun Mountain seem to tremble.

He didn't even glance at the Innate Merit Treasure, his gaze locked directly onto Kunpeng, and he said indifferently.

"This is my foremost disciple. You stinking bird, how dare you act presumptuously!"

Kunpeng's face turned green then white, his heart filled with both shock and anger. He never imagined that this tiny Spiritual Root had such a connection with Yuanshi! Stealing someone else's fortune was an irreconcilable enmity in the Great Desolation!

But the Innate Merit Treasure was right before him. How could he be willing to give up just like that?

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, the treasure is ownerless, and whoever sees it has a share..."

"Scram!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was too lazy to waste words with him and spat out a single word.

A terrifying pressure far beyond Kunpeng's imagination descended.

Kunpeng felt as if he were facing the entire Great Desolation world alone. The pressure made his primordial spirit ache, and his Dao Heart wavered.

Kunpeng had not yet stepped into the Da Luo realm, while Yuanshi was already in the middle stage of Da Luo. He had no doubt that if he said another word, he might perish here today!

"Fine! Well done, Yuanshi! I will remember this humiliation today!"

Kunpeng uttered a harsh threat, not daring to linger any longer. He transformed into a streak of light and fled in a sorry state towards the North Sea.

After driving away Kunpeng, the terrifying pressure on Yuanshi Tianzun slowly receded. He turned around and looked at the unharmed Xuanqing and the Innate Merit Treasure hovering beside him, constantly emitting a sense of closeness. Even though his state of mind was as calm as ancient water, he couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.

He looked at Xuanqing, his eyes devoid of any blame, but instead filled with admiration and a hint of... envy.

"As expected of my excellent disciple, possessing double the merit and fortune, to actually attract the Innate Merit Treasure to willingly come to him."

"Even I, your master, envy such fortune!"
