Chapter 13

Hongjun Divides Treasures, Mysterious Treasures Obtained

All the great powers: ...

Hongjun: ...

Hongjun never expected that his newly established Xuanmen would be passed down to the third generation. However, Xuanbao's aptitude was indeed quite good. He could rank among the top few of the 3000 powerful beings in Zixiao Palace. He started as an early Taiyi Golden Immortal and has already reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal in just 2500 years.

Moreover, Hongjun had seen it very clearly over the past 2500 years: Xuanbao was not at all proactive in his cultivation. While the other powerful beings were diligently listening to the Dao, Xuanbao was idle and occasionally took out some innate spiritual fruits to eat.

Even so, his cultivation level improved rapidly, making him quite a formidable third-generation disciple of his own Xuanmen sect.

You are quite good, with extraordinary talent. Hongjun pondered for a while, then flicked a small flag, which flew towards Xuanbao. This is the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Western Plain Cloud Banner, one of the five innate elemental banners, which he bestows upon you for protection.

I see that you are surrounded by the five elements, and this treasure is also destined for you. If you can collect all five innate flags in the future, you will be invincible below the level of a sage.

Seeing the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Western Plain Cloud Banner, flying in front of him, he almost drooled. This was the innate spiritual treasure he wanted most, because he already had the Five Elements Pearl and could set up the innate Five Elements Grand Array. However, the Five Elements Pearl was only a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Although it is a top-tier mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, its grade is ultimately too low. When combined, it is only equivalent to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Although it is also a top-tier top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the innate five elements array it sets up can only control ordinary quasi-saints. If it encounters a powerful quasi-saint or one who possesses a supreme treasure, it will be quite difficult.

Xuanbao originally planned to collect the Five Elements Flags of the Primordial Era and, together with the Five Elements Beads, set up the Five Elements Grand Array of the Primordial Era. He was confident that he could even challenge a Quasi-Saint, let alone Jieyin or Zhunti.

"Thank you for the treasure, Ancestor." Xuanbao also bowed to Hongjun. *Ahem*, what's wrong with bowing to my sugar daddy? If Hongjun brings out a few more items, Xuanbao's willing to do a striptease. *Serious face*

The crowd was so envious of Xuanbao for acquiring another top-grade innate spiritual treasure that they practically gnawed at each other. It was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure! All 3000 of them combined didn't even have many top-grade innate spiritual treasures. However, their eyes became even more greedy as they looked at Xuanbao.

Although Xuanbao has the Three Pure Ones behind him, there will definitely be people who want to risk taking a bite out of him. At worst, they can just hide after they've succeeded in their cultivation and then come out again.

Seeing Xuanbao put away the Western Plain Cloud Banner, Hongjun nodded and then looked at Taiqing, who was at the head.

With a wave of his hand, he revealed the innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram. This treasure combines offense and defense, embodies the principles of Yin and Yang, and is perfectly suited to you. Taiqing, you shall become the chief disciple of the Xuanmen.

Thank you, Teacher, for your invaluable gift!

Hongjun then turned his gaze to Yuanshi, saying, "Yuqing, you may become my second disciple. I bestow upon you the innate treasure, the Pangu Banner. This treasure possesses the power to tear apart the primordial chaos, the power to shatter the heavens and spacetime, the power to govern the mysteries of all laws, and the power to open up the universe. Furthermore, it can control the power of heaven and earth, and its offensive power ranks first in the primordial world."

Upon hearing that the Pangu Banner was extremely powerful, Yuanshi was overjoyed and thanked his teacher for bestowing this treasure upon him.

Ok.

Shangqing, you can be my third disciple. Although these four swords of Zhuxian are not innate treasures, they can be used to set up the Zhuxian Formation with the help of the formation diagram. The Zhuxian Sword Formation cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Saints. Therefore, I will grant you this sword for self-defense.

Thank you, Teacher, for your invaluable gift!

However, just as Tongtian was admiring the four newly acquired Zhuxian swords and didn't see Hongjun say that the Zhuxian Sword Formation could not be broken by only the Four Saints, all the powerful beings were breathing heavily.

Even Laozi and Yuanshi's eyes changed slightly, but Tongtian didn't notice these changes, while Xuanbao, who was watching the show from the side, saw them all.

This is probably why his teacher was schemed against the most later on. There was no way around it; besides Hongjun, there were only six saints in the prehistoric world. Tongtian could fight four of them all by himself, so how could others not be wary of him?

Xuanbao sighed inwardly. Although Master Tongtian had obtained a powerful treasure, he hadn't realized how much trouble it would bring. At this moment, the atmosphere in Zixiao Palace was somewhat delicate, and the greed in the eyes of the powerful figures was almost overflowing.

Next, Hongjun threw out a spherical magic weapon and a map. Nuwa said, "This is the Red Embroidered Ball, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers. You will have a chance to meet the Red Embroidered Ball in the future."

Thank you, Teacher, for your invaluable gift!

After saying this, Hongjun closed his eyes.

All the great powers: ...

Jieyin Zhunti: ...

Originally, Jieyin and Zhunti had been eagerly anticipating what kind of spiritual treasure they would receive after seeing Hongjun distribute spiritual treasures to his disciples. Who knew that Hongjun would stop giving them to Nuwa after giving them to her? Did the disciples who were only registered disciples have no rights?

Ah!

Teacher, things are so difficult for us in the West. The war between Taoism and Demonism has basically destroyed all of our Western land veins.

"I don't know when I'll recover," Jieyin Zhunti sobbed in Zixiao Palace, completely disregarding his dignity as a Quasi-Saint.

Jieyin Zhunti: Face, how much is face worth? Can it be exchanged for a primordial spiritual treasure?

Xuanbao looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, who were crying with snot and tears streaming down their faces, and chuckled inwardly. These two were really going all out for Lingbao. But as the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Regardless of shame, getting benefits is what really matters.

Hongjun closed his eyes and slowly spoke after a long while: "Enough, Jieyin. This is a twelfth-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Golden Lotus. Take it." With a wave of his hand, a golden lotus platform flew towards Jieyin. Before Zhunti could continue to cry and complain, he flicked his hand again and bestowed upon Zhunti this supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Divine Pestle.

The two who received the benefit were overjoyed. Although they were only two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, they couldn't compare to the innate supreme treasures of the Three Pure Ones. Even Nuwa had two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, but they were still top-grade innate spiritual treasures nonetheless.

Besides, they were just outer disciples, and the two of them were already quite satisfied. It was better than those 2000 people who had nothing at all.

Seeing that Jieyin and Zhunti were shameless enough to make Lingbao cry, many people wanted to try it themselves. However, they all had their own burdens to bear, as they were powerful figures and couldn't bring themselves to do it.

Without the thick skin of Jieyin and Zhunti, they could only stare longingly at Hongjun, their meaning quite clear: they wanted the spiritual treasure.

Hongjun naturally knew they wanted spiritual treasures, and this was all part of his plan. "I am about to merge with the Dao, and the magical treasures I have accumulated over the years are no longer of use. There is a Treasure Cliff not far from here, where spiritual treasures abound. You can rely on your own fate to obtain them!"

The eyes of all three thousand guests lit up; there was still a consolation prize.

At least we have a magical treasure that can sever the three corpses!

However, Hongjun had not finished telling his story, so the three thousand guests did not dare to rush to seize the treasure.

All they saw was Hongjun waving his hand and seven purple energy balls flying in the air. Before anyone could react, six of the purple energy balls had already flown into the bodies of the six people sitting on the futons.

This is the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for becoming a saint. You six must carefully comprehend the creation of all living beings.

Teacher Xie x6

Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation for attaining enlightenment. Only by possessing Primordial Purple Qi can one become a saint. However, under the Heavenly Dao, nine is the ultimate number, and thus the Heavenly Dao can produce nine saints. Anyone who obtains Primordial Purple Qi can become a saint.

However, the powerful beings below were all envious of the last wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, but they didn't know who would get this nearly 1 in 3000 chance!

We beg the teacher to have mercy on us.

Thus, it was allowed to choose its own master. The last wisp of primordial purple energy slowly drifted into the body of Hongyun, who was standing aside in a daze. Hongyun, who was still regretting giving up her seat, was overjoyed to find that the last wisp of primordial purple energy had chosen her.

Completely oblivious to the greedy gazes of the other three thousand guests, they dared not touch Hongjun's disciples, but they had the courage to dabble in the little Red Cloud, for it was an opportunity to attain enlightenment, and they had to fight for it no matter what.

As expected, the story unfolded just like the original plot. In the end, it was the unlucky Hongyun who obtained the last wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, which also foreshadowed his eventual demise.
