"Not bad." Bai Ze nodded slightly.
Duobao had been born from Innate Treasure Qi, and every Heavenly Treasure held an irresistible allure for him!
As for this Primordial Concealment Formation, he had long since mastered it completely.
Though it could not compare to an Innate Spirit Treasure meant for battle, few treasures could rival its ability to conceal.
For him, it was perfect as a favor returned.
Naturally, he had also left several hidden backdoors in its core, just in case someone used the formation against him in the future.
Duobao forcefully suppressed the corners of his mouth from twitching upward.
He did not lack Heavenly Treasures, but even he had never possessed a Primordial Concealment Formation like this.
Especially for a cultivator like him, who often traveled through all manner of perilous places, such an innate concealment formation was practically tailor-made for him!
Of course, he also understood the meaning behind Bai Ze's gift. Still, Bai Ze had truly given him exactly what he wanted!
After pondering for a moment, Duobao slowly said, "Brother Bai Ze, I truly need this innate formation.
But it is far too precious, completely exceeding the value of any care I have shown you.
How about this? I have collected some treasures as well. You may choose any one of them as compensation."
Before he had even finished speaking, Duobao waved his hand. The next moment, countless Heavenly Treasures flew out and instantly filled the entire cave dwelling.
Looking at the dazzling array of Heavenly Treasures filling the room, Bai Ze was briefly overwhelmed.
There were simply too many—so many that there was not even a place to stand!
Moreover, not a single one of these treasures was commonplace.
Though there were no incomparably precious Innate Spirit Treasures among them, they were all rare and extraordinary treasures.
Any one of them, if brought out, would make countless people green with envy and fight over it.
Yet what truly moved him was the superb Spatial Divine Ability Duobao Daoist had displayed just now!
When searching for treasures in the future, he would certainly need a Spatial Divine Ability to store them.
If he could learn that Spatial Divine Ability, it would be of immense help in his future treasure hunting and storage!
After sweeping his gaze over the surrounding Dharmic Treasures, he looked up at Duobao Daoist and clasped his hands with a smile.
"Brother Daoist possesses so many rare and extraordinary treasures. It truly makes others envious. Since the moment I was born, I have never seen so many treasures of such high quality. It is truly admirable."
At those words, a smile visibly appeared on Duobao's face.
"I like hearing that, brother! Great minds truly think alike! Whatever catches your eye, just say the word!"
Bai Ze smiled. As far as he knew, Duobao Daoist loved collecting rare and extraordinary treasures by nature.
Yet because of this habit, Venerable Lingbao of the Supreme Pure One often dragged Duobao out and lectured him.
By catering to his tastes, Bai Ze's words naturally struck right at Duobao's heart.
Seeing Duobao in high spirits, Bai Ze bent down to examine the treasures carefully, occasionally picking one up to admire it.
Yet whenever he picked up a treasure, Duobao's gaze would follow it.
Seeing this, Bai Ze secretly laughed. Duobao truly treasured his possessions as dearly as his life. Still, the more he was like this, the more favorable it was for Bai Ze to obtain the Spatial Divine Ability!
When Bai Ze looked at the fifth treasure, Duobao could no longer resist asking, "Brother Bai Ze, have none of these caught your eye?"
Bai Ze secretly laughed. He took the bait!
He then reluctantly put down the treasure in his hand, put on an extremely troubled expression, and sighed.
"Brother Daoist, you do not understand. Though I am deeply tempted by these extraordinary treasures, my strength is too weak.
If I were to obtain one, I fear others would covet it and develop the desire to kill me and seize it!"
Duobao frowned slightly at those words. The Primordial World was chaotic, and incidents of murder for treasure happened all the time. Without sufficient strength to protect oneself, one would indeed become a target for all!
Seeing Duobao frown, Bai Ze thought, It seems I need to guide him a little further!
He then sighed, muttering softly as though intentionally—or perhaps unintentionally.
"If only I had a Spatial Divine Ability capable of storing treasures."
Upon hearing this, Duobao suddenly slapped his forehead. "Brother Bai Ze, look at you. If you wanted a Spatial Divine Ability, you could have just said so. Why did you have to beat around the bush and hint at it to your old brother?"
"It was simply difficult for me to say it aloud, yet I still could not escape your discerning eyes, brother!" Bai Ze said with an embarrassed smile.
Duobao waved his hand dismissively. "Brother Bai Ze, you really know how to speak. You were willing to give this innate formation to your old brother, so your old brother cannot be stingy either.
It is merely a Spatial Divine Ability. Since you like it, I shall give it to you!"
Bai Ze clasped his hands and thanked him.
Based on Duobao's nervous reaction when he had been choosing treasures earlier, Bai Ze was completely confident that he could guide Duobao toward making a choice even more favorable to himself.
As for Duobao seeing through him, he did not care in the slightest. After all, anyone who had cultivated in the Primordial World for so many years and had still been accepted as a disciple by the Three Pure Ones could not possibly be foolish.
Yet so long as one possessed intelligence, one would inevitably have certain flaws in one's character.
He merely needed to seize upon that small flaw and guide it without making others resent him.
Duobao waved his hand, then swept his palm through the air. The space behind him suddenly collapsed, as though that portion of space had been emptied and erased.
Immediately afterward, Duobao clenched his five fingers. In the next instant, the countless rare and extraordinary treasures within the cave dwelling were sucked into the hollow behind him.
After finishing everything, Duobao formed a hand seal. In an instant, countless chains of scripture appeared between heaven and earth.
As Duobao silently recited, the scriptures slowly converged. Moments later, a dazzling silver light suddenly lit up in the air before him.
When the light faded, a diamond-shaped crystal was revealed.
Duobao gently pushed it, and the diamond-shaped crystal slowly flew before Bai Ze.
"Brother Bai Ze, if you had wanted some other divine ability or technique, I might not have been able to make that decision.
Fortunately, all you want is a Spatial Divine Ability. I happen to possess an Innate Divine Ability, one of the spatial type.
Though this divine ability only serves to store objects, its complexity far exceeds imagination because it is an Innate Divine Ability.
It is no less profound than your Primordial Concealment Formation. However, as long as you can master even ten or twenty percent of it, it will be more than enough to meet your needs."
Listening to Duobao's introduction, Bai Ze's gaze fell upon the crystalline diamond-shaped crystal.
For a moment, he was actually stunned. He had thought Duobao would merely give him an ordinary Spatial Divine Ability, but he had not expected him to be so generous!
He was actually giving him the top-tier Spatial Divine Ability renowned throughout the Primordial World. Though reason told him to remain calm, he still could not suppress his excitement.
After all, Duobao's Spatial Divine Ability was far more than a simple storage technique.
It was also an unparalleled life-saving method for concealing one's form!
It was said that aside from storing objects, this divine ability allowed one to travel through the void—commonly known as tunneling—and, when paired with absolute concealment and aura suppression,
one could appear behind an enemy without their knowledge, then strike suddenly and kill them in a single blow!
It was impossible to guard against, utterly impossible to defend against!
However, it seemed that Duobao did not yet know the true use of his divine ability.
"Forget it. Since he is being so sincere, once I fully comprehend and master it, I will pass it back to him."
