Plain-colored Cloud Banner, Only the Golden Crow

Chapter 30 Plain-Colored Cloud Banner, Ten Golden Crows

At this moment, everyone looking at Tongtian had the same expression: envy.

It's incredibly popular.

If Tongtian had simply emptied the treasures off the Treasure Sharing Cliff, probably no one would disagree.

Even Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi were somewhat unsettled.

However, at this time the Three Pure Ones were still one, advancing and retreating together.

Furthermore, Tongtian was a disciple of a sage, and although the sage was no longer alive, his influence still remained.

Furthermore, Tongtian was designated as someone who could become a saint in the future.

Therefore, although everyone was envious, they still restrained themselves and did not attack Tongtian on the spot.

However, some people are also getting restless.

Seeing that Tongtian had collected so many spiritual treasures, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti hurriedly took action.

Nuwa swept her sleeves and put away magical treasures such as the Lotus Lantern, the Seven Heavenly Blades, the Five Jade Scissors, the Three Rings of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Heaven-Stabilizing Hairpin, the Limitless Umbrella, the Nine-Colored Rainbow Robe, the Elegant Floating Robe, the Four Seas Bottle, the Fire-Suppressing Pliers, and the Ethereal Heaven-Entangling Belt.

They also received spiritual treasures such as the Six Roots Purification Bamboo, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, the Blissful Futon, the Nirvana Futon, the Blessing Pestle, and prayer beads.

Finally, after everyone had received the treasures that were destined for them, the remaining treasures on the Treasure Distribution Cliff transformed into beams of light and flew out into the primordial world, waiting for their destined owners.

Only a lone piece of the Treasure Sharing Cliff remained in place. Everyone was tempted, but no matter what supernatural powers they used, including the Three Pure Ones, they could not retrieve the Treasure Sharing Cliff.

The crowd had no choice but to give up, secretly marveling at the incredible methods of the sage, before bidding farewell and departing to their respective temples.

Now that the revered Dao Ancestor Hongjun has merged with the Dao, the only sage is no longer here, and naturally everyone wants to become the first sage in the future.

In particular, the six people—Sanqing, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti—were designated by Hongjun to become saints in the future.

Therefore, they are even more eager to get started.

As for Hongyun, although he also obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, he was not a disciple of a sage.

If Zhen Yuanzi hadn't reacted quickly and pulled him away, the others would probably have attacked him first.

After Zhen Yuanzi pulled Hongyun back to Wuzhuang Temple, she stopped going out. Although everyone wanted to rush in and snatch Hongyun away immediately.

However, firstly, the group was not of one mind, and secondly, Zhen Yuanzi was very powerful. With Zhen Yuanzi protecting Hongyun, the group could not openly take action and instead waited for an opportunity.

The world remained peaceful and primordial for ten thousand years. On this day, Lin Yang awoke from his seclusion, only to receive another notification from the system.

"Ding! Hongjun has achieved Dao. The host can dispel the barrier and allow the Phoenix Clan to re-enter the world and develop."

"Option 1: Accept the mission and you will receive the Plain Cloud Banner of the Five Innate Banners as a reward."

"Option 2: Refuse the mission and you will receive a Creation Jade Fragment as a reward."

……

After listening to the task and two choices given by the system, Lin Yang remained silent for a moment before decisively saying, "System, I choose option two."

Although the system's argument made sense, and the reward for option one was quite good, Lin Yang was a man of principle.

He said he would only allow the Phoenix Clan to enter the world after he had attained enlightenment; that is, he would wait until he had attained enlightenment before making any decisions.

So what if it's a plain-colored cloud-bound banner? It can't shake my resolve to follow the Dao.

Lin Yang knew very well that although collecting all five flags was very attractive, given the current situation, once the Phoenix Clan entered the mortal world, they would likely be drawn into the conflict between the Lich King and the Demon King.

And since I haven't even attained enlightenment yet, how will I be able to protect the Phoenix Clan then?

Even I myself am probably in trouble!

Lin Yang sighed inwardly. This damn system is indeed cunning! Is it so scheming to get me out of my nest?

As soon as Lin Yang made his choice, a fragment of the Creation Jade Tablet was distributed.

Lin Yang took the fragment out of the system space and examined it with great anticipation.

However, the expectation on his face quickly disappeared.

There was nothing in these fragments that contained the laws of the Great Dao or the Primordial Purple Qi as described in the novels of my previous life.

It really is just a piece of debris.

However, it's not entirely useless.

At least this fragment can be considered an "Enlightenment Stone," and when paired with his own Enlightenment Tea Tree, Lin Yang's cultivation and enlightenment effects will be enhanced once again.

……

Time flies, and another thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, somewhere in the Undying Volcano, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, startling the entire Phoenix Clan.

Lin Yang also woke up, opened his eyes and looked up, only to see the Phoenix Clan's fortune surging violently above the Undying Volcano.

It even shimmered with multicolored light, and the Phoenix Clan's fortune soared!

The reason for this was none other than Lin Yang's elder brother, Kong Xuan, who had finally broken through to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"This speed is really slow!" Lin Yang withdrew his gaze and sighed.

Compared to his cultivation speed, Kong Xuan's progress was indeed slow.

However, Kong Xuan's cultivation speed is actually normal.

The reason Lin Yang broke through so quickly was entirely due to his accumulated foundation and absorption of the Chaos Phoenix's essence blood, which meant that his background was no less than that of a Primordial Demon God from the very beginning.

After that, he created his own world and used its development to aid his cultivation. The combination of the two resulted in his cultivation speed being incredibly fast.

He not only cultivated to become a Primordial Golden Immortal, but was also a freak who mastered a variety of powerful laws.

Lin Yang's strength was unmatched in the primordial world during this period when Hongjun merged with the Dao and there were no saints in the world.

Even if it's the Three Pure Ones, even if it's the demon race or the witch race, as long as they don't set up those Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation, Du Tian Shen Sha Great Formation, or Zhu Xian Sword Formation, Lin Yang can completely crush them.

Kong Xuan's ascension to the Great Luo Golden Immortal caused the entire Phoenix Clan to cheer.

Although he is not a phoenix with impeccable lineage like Lin Yang, he is still a descendant of Yuan Feng.

It is closely related to the Phoenix Clan's fortune; otherwise, it wouldn't have led to such a surge in the Phoenix Clan's fortune.

Inside the palace, Lin Yang pondered for a moment, then entered the Middle Thousand Worlds, plucked a Ninth-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus from the Three Lights Divine Water Pool, and picked a few leaves from the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Lin Yang separated a magical avatar and had it deliver the two items to Kong Xuan as a congratulatory gift for his breakthrough in cultivation.

This naturally moved Kong Xuan once again.

Lin Yang didn't care, but he thought of Da Peng, his second brother, whom he couldn't find and didn't know where he was hiding.

After all, the primordial world is so vast that if you just find a place to hide, no one will be able to find you.

Lin Yang had experience with this kind of thing, and could only lament that the timing wasn't right and he couldn't rush it!

……

Time passed slowly, and thousands of years went by in the blink of an eye. On this day, the system notification sounded again.

"Ding! Xihe has given birth to ten baby golden crows. Does the host wish to leave seclusion and travel to the demon realm to present congratulatory gifts?"

"Option 1: Accept the mission and you will receive several hibiscus tree branches as a reward."

"Option 2: Refuse the mission and you will receive the top-tier innate spiritual root, the Zhou Tian Star Tree."
