Chapter 14
Treasure Hunt at the Treasure Distribution Rock
Only Zhen Yuanzi, who had a clear view of the whole situation, saw the danger. He knew that possessing such a treasure could be a crime. He was determined to take Hongyun to his Wuzhuang Temple for secluded cultivation upon returning home, as he could set up a highly defensive Earth Book formation with the help of the Earth Book.
The Earth Book binds to all the primordial earth veins, and basically no one dares to directly destroy so many primordial earth veins. Otherwise, the endless karma could directly bring down even a saint. Zhen Yuanzi is very confident that he can protect his friend Hongyun, provided that Hongyun cannot leave Wuzhuang Temple.
Having finished speaking, Hongjun said directly, "I have finished my three lectures. I am about to merge with the Dao. From now on, 'Hongjun is the Dao of Heaven, and the Dao of Heaven is not Hongjun.'" With that, Hongjun disappeared from the stage.
At the same time, Xuanbao, who had already prepared for a 100-meter sprint, directly transmitted his voice to the Three Pure Ones, instructing them to go to the Treasure Distribution Rock to seize the spiritual treasure, while he himself unfolded the Holy Light Wings that had been refined and instantly disappeared from the spot.
Having been reminded, the Three Pure Ones quickly flew towards the Treasure Dividing Rock.
Three Thousand Guests: ...
What happened? While the powerful beings were still lamenting that the Primordial Purple Qi hadn't chosen them, they saw the Three Pure Ones fly away rapidly, and Tongtian's disciples had already disappeared!
Finally, some people realized what was happening and rushed towards the Treasure Sharing Rock. In an instant, chaos erupted in front of Zixiao Palace as all the powerful figures rushed towards the Treasure Sharing Rock like madmen.
That little rascal, he didn't even remind me! I even gave him a primordial spiritual treasure. At this moment, Nuwa was also flying rapidly towards the Treasure Dividing Rock, complaining about Xuanbao's heartlessness as she flew.
Fuxi, standing to the side, was speechless. If he hadn't been quick-witted, his silly sister would probably have given all her magical treasures to that little golden-haired Xuanbao. (The main character is the Treasure Basin in its transformed form, with golden hair.)
Meanwhile, Xuanbao had already arrived at the foot of the Treasure Distribution Rock. The Wings of Holy Light were truly formidable, covering 24 li in a single breath. However, Xuanbao wasn't idle. Although he had arrived first, it wouldn't take more than a few breaths for others to react and catch up. His time was limited; how many spiritual treasures he could obtain depended entirely on these few breaths.
One hundred strands of precious energy were unleashed. As soon as the precious energy appeared, the Treasure Dividing Rock began to tremble. Thousands of precious lights rushed towards the one hundred strands of precious energy. Since there were only one hundred strands, they couldn't be divided at all, and thousands of spiritual treasures started fighting.
Xuanbao had no time to watch these magical treasures fight. He simply waved his hands and collected the magical treasures into his inner space. He paid special attention to the flag-shaped magic treasures, collecting 10 to 100 pieces. Finally, when Xuanbao had collected more than 600 innate magical treasures, the rest of the magical treasures were instantly teleported into the Treasure Dividing Rock.
Xuanbao: ...
Family, who can understand? Just when things were going so well, it was all gone. That emptiness made Xuanbao roll his eyes. He had nothing left to collect. Xuanbao naturally knew it must have been that old man Hongjun who made the move, being stingy with him after he'd only collected a little over 600 innate spiritual treasures. Tch!
Meanwhile, deep within the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's eyelids twitched. He had only been slightly distracted, and the plan had almost been ruined. Of the more than 3000 innate spiritual treasures, that brat had taken more than 600. If he hadn't been quick-witted and resealed the spiritual treasures back into the Treasure Distribution Rock, there would have been no treasure distribution at all.
However, with over 600 innate spiritual treasures missing, at least half of the 3 Zixiao guests would be unable to obtain any spiritual treasures. Helpless, Hongjun took out another 600 acquired spiritual treasures and sealed them together in the Treasure Distribution Rock. He could only use acquired spiritual treasures to make up the numbers.
Hongjun only needs three thousand guests to obtain the spiritual treasure. It is innate, and acquired will not have much impact on him. As long as cause and effect are generated, he can rely on the grace of passing on the Dao and the fortune that occupies the nine layers of the primordial world to merge with the Dao.
While Xuanbao was still standing there in a daze, the Three Pure Ones had already arrived at the Treasure Dividing Rock. Seeing Xuanbao standing there, they did not take any spiritual treasures, nor did they have time to remind him. They rushed into the Treasure Dividing Rock.
Seeing the Three Pure Ones rush into the Treasure Dividing Rock, Xuanbao rushed in without thinking. Although he had already collected more than 600 innate spiritual treasures, the majority of them were still inside the Treasure Dividing Rock. Since he couldn't use his magical energy to cheat, Xuanbao would take several even if he had to use his hands. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to collect spiritual treasures.
With a wave of his hand, Lao Tzu collected more than 30 innate spiritual treasures. He wanted to take more, but found that there were no more spiritual treasures that were destined for him. He had no choice but to wait aside.
Yuanshi waved his hand, and more than 50 innate spiritual treasures were put away. He didn't linger over the remaining spiritual treasures, as he wouldn't care if they weren't meant for him.
But things changed when they got to Tongtian. With a wave of his hand, Tongtian took in one or two hundred spiritual treasures, but the vast majority of them were low-grade innate spiritual treasures.
Xuanbao followed suit and waved his hand, but fearing the air would suddenly become still, not a single magical treasure flew out...
"Damn it, I don't believe it!" Xuanbao took out the Breaking Yuan Shovel, which had been upgraded to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, and started digging at the seals. Sparks flew everywhere as he dug, and finally, with a snap, it broke.
The seal was broken, and Xuanbao grabbed the spiritual treasure inside. Without checking it, he continued digging, uncovering more than twenty more treasures in a row. Xuanbao was then thrown out by Hongjun.
Sanqing: ...
Xuanbao: ...This old man is really a sore loser, he's deliberately targeting me.
Just after Xuanbao finished collecting the spiritual treasures, several quasi-saints arrived at the Treasure Distribution Rock. Nuwa grabbed more than 30 spiritual treasures with her small hand.
Fuxi followed suit, grabbing only two magical treasures with his hand.
Fuxi: ...Why is there such a huge difference?
Emperor Jun and Taiyi also grabbed over a hundred innate spiritual treasures with a single grab.
Since Dongwanggong couldn't fly as fast as Dijun and the others, he grabbed over thirty innate spiritual treasures with both hands.
The remaining quasi-saints only obtained two or three innate spiritual treasures, until the Western Zhunti Jieyin grabbed two acquired spiritual treasures with his large hand.
Holding the acquired spiritual treasure in their hands, Jieyin Zhunti felt a pain in their chests. They had seen Dijun and Taiyi possess hundreds of innate spiritual treasures, while they only had two acquired spiritual treasures. Was this appropriate? Was this reasonable?
Seeing the two Westerners' dark expressions, Xuanbao knew perfectly well that Hongjun must have been up to something behind the scenes. Otherwise, even if the two were unlucky, they wouldn't only have two acquired spiritual treasures. Perhaps Hongjun knew that these two Westerners would betray Xuanmen and establish the Western Sect in the future, so he certainly wouldn't support the enemy.
After the Quasi-Saints finished collecting the spiritual treasures, a large number of powerful beings also arrived at the Treasure Distribution Rock. Without any time to linger, everyone rushed into the Treasure Distribution Rock to start grabbing spiritual treasures. Nearly 3000 people rushed into the Treasure Distribution Rock, and the scene was chaotic for a time.
Although they didn't actually fight, they almost came to blows in their quest for more spiritual treasures. Fortunately, everyone knew they were in the Purple Cloud Palace, so no one dared to make a move. But one can imagine that if they left the Purple Cloud Palace, all those innate experts would have fought tooth and nail.
However, Xuanbao didn't care about any of that. This time, he had gained a lot: 673 innate spiritual treasures. He only needed to take some time to refine all 600-plus of these innate spiritual treasures and he could take off on the spot.
