Chapter 735: Top-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure Hunyuan Zhu, Emperor Weapons in Bulk, Insane Tian Dao (7/7, Request Subscription

"If Your Majesty truly has rare treasures, you'd better act quickly. The Western Journey is about to begin. If the Tang royal house cannot gain power before then, it will become a puppet in others' hands. By then, it will be too late to resist."

Li Shimin had heard of the Western Journey more than once.

Naturally, he disliked the Fomen.

After all, since its founding, the Li Tang had claimed descent from the Dao Ancestor, and its relations with the Fomen had never been good.

But he could not deny—the Fomen's popular foundation was excellent; its believers might even outnumber those of Daoism.

If their momentum grew any stronger, even the Emperor might be forced to become a Buddhist puppet.

This was also why he supported the Profound Heaven Sect as the state religion.

How could those lazy Daoist sects possibly suppress the Buddhist momentum?

The Profound Heaven Sect did not disappoint, using its Nine Divine Incantations to blaze a trail and swiftly becoming the number one sect in the world.

This plan directly struck at the Fomen's prestige—but its impact was limited to the mortal realm alone.

For Lingshan, the only effect was a reduction in incense offerings; it caused no real damage.

In the past, Lingshan would have sent emissaries immediately.

Now, however, with the Divine Killing Calamity approaching, Lingshan was in chaos, and no one had come to deal with this matter yet.

This gave Li Shimin and Sun Wukong their chance.

"Your Immortal's words are true," Li Shimin sighed suddenly. "The Li family founded our dynasty and created the Tang Empire because one treasure played an unparalleled role. According to Your Immortal's words, it must be a celestial treasure."

Sun Wukong became interested and asked, "May I see it?"

Li Shimin nodded, stood up, and said, "Your Immortal, please follow me."

Leading Sun Wukong to the imperial treasury, he passed through layers of traps and arrays until they entered a chamber adorned with luminous night pearls.

"This is the treasure!"

Entering the chamber, Li Shimin took from a corner a stone bead, fist-sized, smooth and lustrous.

"This is the treasure?" Sun Wukong activated his Fiery Eyes, yet could discern nothing unusual, and began to doubt.

Li Shimin held the stone bead and said, "Your Immortal, do not judge this object by its plain appearance. It has a great origin—it was found by me as a child beside the Luo River. At that time, it radiated divine light, exceedingly extraordinary. Afterwards, its divine radiance dimmed and never returned; I do not know why, so I kept it here in this treasure vault."

"I see. This treasure must have exhausted its divine essence and become useless." Sun Wukong took it, preparing to list it on the Shangcheng.

【Ding, would you like to sell the Remnant of the Top-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, Hunyuan Zhu? Price: 5 billion.】

Hearing the group chat notification, Sun Wukong went numb.

This ordinary-looking thing had originally been a Top-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

"But how could a Top-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure exist in my world?" Sun Wukong began to doubt.

His world, according to the group chat, was merely a mid-tier middle-sized world—how could it nurture such a treasure?

Upon closer inspection, he noticed a line of explanation beneath the prompt.

Remnant of Hunyuan Zhu: Originally a sentient treasure, its cultivation failed due to cosmic chaos. Yet its internal laws have already formed; if placed in a suitable environment for cultivation, it will surely become a world-shaking treasure.

Sun Wukong looked at Li Shimin and explained the treasure's true origin.

"This is a supreme treasure, sufficient to exchange for many other items. It depends on whether Your Majesty is willing to trade."

"Your Immortal, trade it away," Li Shimin did not hesitate long; he glanced at the Hunyuan Zhu. "This object is useless in my hands. Better to exchange it for power."

"Good." Sun Wukong nodded and opened the group chat.

Sun Wukong: "Dao Jun, found a good treasure. Interested? 【Image】"

Su Xiao: "Top-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure? No way—your world actually birthed something like this?"

Sun Wukong: "Didn't you see it's a remnant?"

Hu Yifei: "That's so typical of your world. Your world is so reckless—cultivation wants more, so it just spawns Top-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures without even considering whether it can handle them!"

Ye Hei: "Now that you mention it, yeah. Is the Tian Dao in your world insane?"

Sun Wukong: "It really is insane. But this thing is probably valuable—I checked the Shangcheng, it sells for five billion. If Dao Jun wants it, I can lower the price."

Zhang Taixuan: "No need. I don't lack points. 【Red Envelope】"

Sun Wukong: "Dao Jun, you're so straightforward. 【Red Envelope】 I hope this spiritual treasure can be reborn in your hands. It was truly wronged in my world—never even born before it withered."

Sun Wukong: "By the way, Dao Jun, could you upload some high-quality elixirs? The ordinary ones won't do for the Tang Wang."

Li Shimin: "Tang Wang? I remember this era is ruled by Li Shimin. Damn, this Tang Wang is rich!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Who else but someone from a mythic world?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Wait a moment."

Dalaotian.

Zhang Taixuan flipped through his storage, took out elixirs he had previously drawn, and tossed them into the Qiankun Cauldron.

Moments later, forty-five Supreme Emperor-grade Elixir of Enhancement and twenty-four Healing Elixirs were freshly produced.

After refining them once, their effects increased a hundredfold, purified to perfection, and became effortless to absorb.

【Ding, you sold 45 Elixirs of Enhancement and gained 900 million points.】

【Ding, you sold 24 Healing Elixirs and gained 240 million points.】

A single refinement yielded several times the return—extremely worthwhile.

He also took out the forbidden artifacts he had drawn from draws, tossed them into the Qiankun Cauldron, reverted them to their origins, and ultimately refined eighty-one forbidden artifacts into twelve Peak Supreme Emperor weapons.

Zhang Taixuan was unsatisfied; he thought, drawing in immortal qi and fusing it within.

Moments later, the twelve Supreme Emperor weapons finally transformed into Emperor weapons, radiating overwhelming might.
