"I told you not to fight for that lotus seat! Brat, are you regretting it now?"

Hearing the powerful figures around them discussing the matter, Cult Master Tongtian couldn't help glaring fiercely at Lin Yunji.

But unexpectedly!

Lin Yunji hadn't listened to a word he said. He was busy staring intently at the Treasure-Dividing Cliff in the distance, his eyes burning! His expression was excited, mixed with other complicated emotions.

Cult Master Tongtian couldn't make sense of it. Lin Yunji seemed very interested in the treasures on the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

As for regret?

There wasn't a trace of it to be seen!

It was as though he had never taken the initial struggle for the lotus seats to heart!

Nor was he the least bit envious that the Three Pure Ones had been taken as disciples by Sage Hongjun.

"Brat! Your master is talking to you!" Cult Master Tongtian raised his voice, finally drawing Lin Yunji's attention back.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yunji gave a puzzled grunt, seemingly only then realizing that Cult Master Tongtian was talking to him.

"Master, how can you think that!? If Sage Hongjun had taken me as a disciple too, I would have to call him master, and now you call Sage Hongjun master as well. In that case, how would we reckon our seniority?"

Hearing Lin Yunji say this, Cult Master Tongtian felt a pain in his head. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Though he felt there was something wrong with that line of reasoning, it sounded quite sensible.

Cult Master Tongtian smiled awkwardly and let the matter drop.

"Fellow Daoists, you may follow us to the Treasure-Dividing Cliff to obtain treasures!" Haotian and Yaochi's voices rang out.

The mighty figures all bowed and said, "Sorry to trouble you, young friends Haotian and Yaochi, to lead the way!"

Thus, led by Haotian and Yaochi, the powerful figures came together before an ancient formation beside the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall.

The void ahead suddenly trembled. Dao patterns surged and slowly emerged, their profound markings covering the Treasure-Dividing Cliff like an inverted dome.

The powerful figures looked up, and even they were somewhat awed by the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

The entire Treasure-Dividing Cliff gleamed, with a layer of treasure light flickering around it. The treasures within rose and fell, appearing and disappearing from sight.

Though they couldn't see those treasures clearly, their hearts leaped at a glance, and a sense of their extraordinary nature arose unbidden.

"Everyone may step forward and try. The treasures will go to those fated to receive them. You must not come into conflict outside the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall, or Teacher will be displeased!" Since Haotian said so, this was Sage Hongjun's will.

The treasures had originally been collected by Sage Hongjun himself. How would anyone dare act rashly? They naturally answered in unison, "Please rest assured. Obtaining treasures depends entirely on fortuitous opportunity. How would we dare give rise to wanton greed?"

"Very good!"

Haotian nodded slightly and continued, "A grand formation has been laid over the Treasure-Dividing Cliff. It is the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation, set up by Master himself. The formation's arrangements are ever-changing, capable of producing as many as 360,000 variations. Its murderous intent is boundless and its changes unpredictable. Fellow Daoists, do not think of charging straight in. If you enter the formation and fall into danger, you may face the destruction of both body and soul!"

"You need only cast spells before this formation to attract Law Treasures. If you are fated, the treasures will fly out on their own and land in your hands!"

After listening, the powerful figures couldn't help drawing sharp breaths.

Some of them had just seen the abundance of treasures within the formation, and their eyes had immediately turned red as thoughts churned over and over in their hearts. Now they couldn't help feeling fortunate that they hadn't lost their senses and charged straight into the grand formation.

It was indeed a grand formation laid down by Sage Hongjun himself. From outside, its Dao patterns merely seemed intricate, crisscrossing in every direction. Who would have thought it contained as many as 360,000 variations!

How terrifying was that!

The powerful figures hurriedly snuffed out their thoughts.

"If you fellow Daoists do not mind, we three brothers will take the lead and give it a try! We can also show everyone how it is done!" Laozi, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, and Cult Master Tongtian suddenly said with smiles. After cupping their hands to the powerful figures, they took their places before the grand formation.

At the same time, three terrifying powers rose up. Every powerful figure present had a taut expression, and some even changed color.

"As Teacher's personal disciples, the three senior brothers should naturally be the first to choose. Surely some formidable objects will appear! That will let us broaden our horizons!" Zhunti was not reserved either and laughed aloud.

"Exactly! Senior brothers, please!" Jieyin also stood and bowed to the Three Qing Daoists.

Seeing this, the powerful figures were quite unwilling at heart, but said nothing more. They looked at one another and agreed.

In fact, it wasn't that Jieyin and Zhunti were being generous. They knew perfectly well that with the Three Pure Ones here, whether on account of their status as Sage Hongjun's personal disciples or their own strength, it would never be the two of them who got to go first!

Why not step forward and do the Three Pure Ones a favor?

Besides, the ones to eat the crab first shouldn't be them, whatever happened.

What was more, Sage Hongjun had repeatedly reminded them that obtaining treasures depended on fortuitous opportunity!

Fate!

Who could clearly explain something so mysterious?

Thus, the Three Pure Ones were no longer polite. They went straight to the grand formation and cast spells. Circulating their Divine Sense, they slowly probed toward the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"..."

In just a moment, sounds rang out one after another from the Treasure-Dividing Cliff. Treasure light blazed within, and Law Treasures came pouring out one after another, each vying to be first. They shot into the hands of Laozi, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, and Cult Master Tongtian, who swept their hands out and put them all away.

In that brief time, Laozi sensed several Innate Spirit Treasures of varying quality, including the Wind and Fire Meditation Cushion, the Off-Ground Flame Light Flag, and the Eight Scenery Palace Lamp, and successfully summoned them out!

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Cult Master Tongtian also gained quite a few!

"They said it depended on fortuitous opportunity, yet so many treasures were fated to come to us! Very good indeed!" Cult Master Tongtian laughed, looking very happy.

He was not only satisfied with his own gains, but even happier to see that Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi had also gained quite a lot!

"Rumble!"

Seeing that the Three Pure Ones had stopped and obtained quite a few treasures in just a short while, each with its own use, the powerful figures were eager to try. They hurried forward and cast spells before the grand formation.

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

"Ding, ding!"

"..."

Treasure light blazed within the Treasure-Dividing Cliff, and sounds rang out incessantly.

Spells were sent in one after another, and numerous treasures shot out!

"Brat, hurry and try it too!" Seeing Lin Yunji standing off to one side with so little enthusiasm, Cult Master Tongtian couldn't help urging him on.

Seeing that they could obtain treasures, the powerful figures had long since tried again and again, afraid they would lose out if they took too few.

How was it that Lin Yunji had instead closed his eyes to rest right in front of the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation!

Could he have fallen asleep again?

Cult Master Tongtian frowned and wanted to go over and wake him, but Laozi stopped him. "Ah, Junior Brother, wait and see. It looks to me as though Nephew Yunji is comprehending something!"

Lin Yunji wasn't asleep, nor was he comprehending anything. He had heard a system notification:

[Beep! The system has detected a grand formation (Wind and Thunder Divine Formation) near the host. The system is copying it...]

Forced to copy the grand formation, Lin Yunji could only close his eyes and stand there, forced to wait for the system to finish copying it.

Apparently, the black Dao patterns had stopped fixating on his hand and instead covered the bones of her left foot.

"Hum!"

After quite a while, Lin Yunji finally opened his eyes, which sparkled with excitement.

Hahahahahahahahaha! It's rare for the system to be so favorable to me. The Dao patterns covered more than half the bones of my foot. From the looks of it, the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation is no weaker than the Zhou Heavenly Star Grand Formation!

Lin Yunji laughed wildly in his heart.

He fixed his gaze on the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation again. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly rose into the air, turned into a streak of light, and charged straight at the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation before him.

Cult Master Tongtian was struck dumb!
