Obtaining the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, Helping Tongtian Acquire a Treasure to Suppress Luck

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Wudao withdrew the pressure he had been radiating.

"Hand over the treasure now!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Deng's heart ached. After all, he had gone through immense hardship to obtain this supreme treasure, yet now he had to hand it over to someone else.

But if he refused, not only would he lose his life, but the things he had secretly done would also be exposed. Losing his life over a single supreme treasure was simply not worth it.

With that in mind, Ran Deng could only take out the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler and present it before Ling Wudao with both hands.

"Senior, please take it!"

Ling Wudao looked at the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler before him and revealed a faint smile.

"Ran Deng, erase the primordial spirit imprint within the ruler yourself. Otherwise, if I do it, I will not be so precise."

Hearing this, Ran Deng immediately closed his eyes. Then, gritting his teeth, he removed the primordial spirit imprint within the ruler.

Seeing how sensible he was, Ling Wudao said no more and directly put away the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.

"Since you are being so sensible, I will offer you some guidance. If you wish to attain the Dao, there is no path for you but to cultivate the Primordial Unity."

"As for whether you can comprehend your own Dao of laws, that depends entirely on your own fortune."

"This Human Emperor shall take his leave!"

With that, Ling Wudao vanished from before Ran Deng.

After seeing Ling Wudao leave, Ran Deng thought to himself, Comprehend my own laws... then what kind of law would suit me best?

"Forget it. Now that I have a path, I should return and enter seclusion to ponder it carefully. Perhaps I may yet comprehend my own Dao."

With that, Ran Deng turned and returned to his cave abode.

Elsewhere, Ling Wudao had just returned to Kunlun Mountain when he discovered Yuanshi and Taiqing battling Nüwa, while Tongtian watched from the side.

Seeing this scene, Ling Wudao said to Tongtian, "Nüwa is fighting. Why did you not go help her?"

Tongtian wore a helpless expression. "It is not that I did not want to help. Nüwa said herself that she wanted to deal with the two of them alone and told me not to interfere."

"I see. Since she wants to face Taiqing and Yuanshi by herself, let us watch from the side."

"Wudao, you were gone for so long. Did you get the treasure?"

"I personally made a move, so naturally I got it. Keep watching the battle for now. I will refine the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler first."

As soon as he spoke, he closed his eyes and entered the Divine Talisman Space to refine the restrictions within the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.

An unknown amount of time passed. When Ling Wudao emerged from the Divine Talisman Space, he discovered that Nüwa's battle had already ended.

Seeing this, Ling Wudao said, "Nüwa, did you send them into the Heavenly Dao Void again?"

"I merely got a little serious. Who knew they would be so unable to take a beating? But do not worry. As you said before, they will return."

"By the way, what treasure did you go rob from Ran Deng? Hurry and take it out for us to see."

Hearing this, Ling Wudao reached out and grabbed. A ruler appeared before Nüwa. "This is the treasure I took. It is called the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, an acquired merit supreme treasure."

"It can kill without incurring karmic consequences, and its offensive power is no weaker than the Pangu Banner or the God Slaying Spear."

Nüwa's eyes immediately lit up. "What a fine treasure!"

With this supreme treasure in hand, even if one killed countless enemies, one would not become entangled in karmic sin. After all, once one slaughtered too many living beings, karmic sin would surely cling to them. At best, their cultivation would be damaged; at worst, they would perish on the spot.

But with the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler in hand, no matter how many living beings one killed, one would not be affected by karmic sin.

"Wudao, let us discuss something. How about you give this treasure to me? I can trade the Mountain and Rivers State Diagram for it, hehe!"

"Stop dreaming. I have already refined this supreme treasure."

"Ah! Such a wonderful treasure! What a pity it is not fated with me."

Just as the two were speaking, Taiqing and Yuanshi flew back from the Heavenly Dao Void.

Seeing them return, Ling Wudao immediately said, "You have both been blown apart twice. Now let us discuss compensation. If you are unwilling, this Human Emperor will personally destroy all of Kunlun Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Taiqing said, "Human Emperor, what compensation do you want?"

"The compensation I seek is not much. Just hand over the All Heavens Celebration Cloud. As long as you hand it over, we will immediately leave Kunlun Mountain."

"But if you refuse, then this Human Emperor will have no choice but to let all of Kunlun Mountain, along with the many Chan Sect disciples, perish here."

Hearing the Human Emperor's blatant threat, Yuanshi was so furious that he nearly ground his back teeth to dust.

He had no choice now. If he did not hand over the All Heavens Celebration Cloud, neither his Dao field nor his disciples would be spared. Yet if he simply handed it over, he was deeply unwilling.

But there was no other way to preserve Kunlun Mountain. Only by handing over the All Heavens Celebration Cloud could he save his Dao field and his disciples' lives.

Thinking this, Yuanshi immediately said, "Human Emperor, I can hand over the All Heavens Celebration Cloud, but you may not come to Kunlun Mountain and cause trouble again."

"No problem!"

"As long as you hand over the All Heavens Celebration Cloud, this Human Emperor will never come to Kunlun Mountain to cause trouble again."

"Of course, that is only if you do not provoke this Human Emperor first. If you do, then forget Kunlun Mountain—even Zixiao Palace, this Human Emperor would dare blow it apart."

Seeing Ling Wudao promise not to trouble them again, Yuanshi immediately took out the All Heavens Celebration Cloud and waved it over to Ling Wudao.

"Take it!"

Looking at the All Heavens Celebration Cloud before him, Ling Wudao pushed it back. "You have already refined this All Heavens Celebration Cloud. I want you to personally remove the primordial spirit imprint inside it."

Yuanshi snorted coldly!

Then he waved his hand and removed the primordial spirit imprint from within the All Heavens Celebration Cloud before sending it directly to Ling Wudao.

"Take it!"

Ling Wudao looked at Tongtian. "The All Heavens Celebration Cloud is yours now. Put it away yourself."

Tongtian nodded. With a wave of his hand, he put away the All Heavens Celebration Cloud.

"Yuanshi, thank you for your treasure. This supreme treasure will be of great use to me, hahaha!"

"Wudao, let us return!"

With that, the three of them flew toward the human race.

After Nüwa and the other two left, Yuanshi's face immediately flushed red with fury. "Damn it, my treasure is gone just like that."

Taiqing, standing nearby, said, "Second Brother, do not be angry. Once we complete the task our teacher assigned us, we will go ask him to act together."

"As long as our teacher acts, Ling Wudao will be nothing to fear."

"Let us go. We should return and discuss how to complete the task our teacher assigned. Once our teacher emerges from seclusion, we will join forces with the demon race to attack the human race. Then we will let the Human Emperor experience the suffering we are enduring now."
