Chapter 126

"If you were truly sincere toward others, you wouldn't be able to play this grafting trick on me."

"Using the Purple Qi of Hongmeng as a setup to join hands with Diti and repeatedly fleece me!"

While secretly complaining in his heart.

On the surface, Hongjun did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Instead, he nodded as if it were a serious matter.

And from the Heaven and Earth within his palm, he took out twenty-four jade beads that emitted five-colored light, were as blue as the sea, and seemed to hide an endless sea of stars.

"This is the top-grade innate spiritual treasure: the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls."

"Each one contains thirty-three innate restrictions; when all twenty-four are gathered, they can erupt with the strength of a peak top-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

"Within them lies the divine power to suppress the four seas, contain the heavens and earth, and evolve time and space."

"Trapping, killing, sealing, and defending—all can be done with ease."

"This dharma treasure has an affinity with you and contains infinite mysteries."

"If you can see through the mysteries contained within."

"Even without the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, you can easily step into the realm of Hunyuan Da Luo!"

Good fellow, this is truly a good fellow!

Diti had anticipated many possibilities.

It was just that he never expected.

That the dharma treasure Hongjun gifted to Randen would be the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls!

This was the essential dharma treasure for Randen to reach the peak in the future!

Originally, he had planned that when the Treasure-Dividing Cliff manifested later.

He would make a big haul to see if he could find the remaining twelve Sea-Calming Pearls.

However, now Hongjun not only took them out voluntarily.

He even took out twenty-four of them at once!

If these Sea-Calming Pearls were the twenty-four that fell into the hands of Zhao Gongming during the Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity.

Then what was the situation with the twelve Sea-Calming Pearls obtained within the Three Immortals Island?

Could it be that the rumors of later generations were correct, that the Sea-Calming Pearls were originally supposed to be thirty-six, secretly matching the ultimate number of the Heavenly Stems?

It was just that twelve of the Sea-Calming Pearls were lost in the long river of time, so it was always based on twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls?

If that were really the case.

Then Randen had truly made a huge profit this time.

Opening up twenty-four heavens with twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls.

Could make him the number one person under the Saints.

If he opened up thirty-six heavens with thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls!

And even used the innate Five Spirit Pearls, the innate Wind Spirit Pearl, the innate Thunder Spirit Pearl, the innate Time-Space Spirit Pearl, the Heaven-Opening Pearl, the Earth-Splitting Pearl, the Sun and Moon Spirit Pearls... and a host of other spirit pearls with different attributes.

As the support and nourishment for opening up the heavens and earth.

Could Randen open up thirty-six heavens at the level of a Great Thousand World?

If it were truly feasible, then the return he would obtain.

Would at least allow him to ascend to the mid-stage of Hunyuan Da Luo.

And it would not be impossible to refine the thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls into a top-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure!

"Many thanks to the Dao Ancestor for bestowing the treasure."

The Hunyuan Time-Space World Array within the Three Immortals Island.

Had long since become Randen's second cave dwelling.

He naturally knew the dharma treasures suppressed within it better than anyone.

Now that Hongjun was handing the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls to him.

His first thought was not to ponder how to prove the Dao.

But to think about going back and offering them to Diti.

To let him integrate them into the Hunyuan Time-Space World Array.

To evolve into thirty-six brand-new different time-space Dao fields.

To allow more innate Star Gods and Star Court divine soldiers to obtain a better cultivation environment.

To let the overall strength of the Star Brilliance Divine Court take flight once again!

"Fellow Daoist, the Purple Qi of Hongmeng is my standard for recruiting disciples."

"I wonder if you could return it to me?"

Having had the experience of opposing Diti several times before.

Hongjun also knew that the other party was a person who would not scatter the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

If he did not give enough benefits.

Not only would he not get the Purple Qi of Hongmeng back.

But he would also be lectured in return!

"As long as you are willing to exchange."

"No matter what conditions you have."

"In view of our past friendship, I can agree to them at my discretion."

Regarding Hongjun's soft-spoken persuasion, Diti's eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment.

"What a big tone."

"Speaking as if I were some trash who leverages favors to demand rewards!"

"And 'in view of our past friendship'?"

"Based on the relationship between the two of us."

"Let alone the most basic friendship."

"The moment we met, not trying every possible way to kill the other party was already considered very restrained!"

While secretly complaining in his heart, Diti did not stand on ceremony with Hongjun either.

It was already obvious that a war was about to break out.

Naturally, he should weaken the opponent as much as possible.

It was just that he didn't know what else the opponent had to be fleeced.

Helping Di Jun and the others recover as before, distributing heavy treasures to Taishang and the others, and having to distribute treasures to the remaining living beings later.

In this way, how much of Hongjun's family fortune was left.

Only he himself probably knew!

"Fellow Daoist is absolutely right."

"The friendship between us is indeed quite deep."

"Returning this Purple Qi of Hongmeng to you is naturally no problem."

As he spoke, Diti tossed the Purple Qi of Hongmeng into the air again.

"As for the transaction conditions you mentioned."

"I am not picky about anything; you look at what is appropriate and give me one or two items."

Things that are free are often the most expensive!

Diti said that "appropriate" was fine.

But he had already hyped up the Purple Qi of Hongmeng so much just now.

If he were to take a piece of junk now, or some useless ornament that was a pity to discard.

He would directly be slapping his own face!

"Fellow Daoist is joking."

"One is one, two is two; I would never take advantage of you."

As he spoke, Hongjun took out two green banana fans from the Heaven and Earth within his palm and handed them to Diti.

"This is the Wind Banana Fan and the Fire Banana Fan that fell from one of the top-grade innate spiritual roots, the Four-Elephant Banana Tree."

"They contain the origin of the Dao of Wind and Fire and can fan out the Samadhi Divine Wind and the Samadhi True Fire."

"Whether used for alchemy or forging, they are excellent auxiliary dharma treasures."

"Fellow Daoist happens to be very skilled in alchemy and forging."

"Bestowing this treasure upon you is truly a match made in heaven."

Looking at the two banana fans being handed over, a hint of satisfaction rose in Diti's eyes.

The Wind Banana Fan was the dharma treasure of Princess Iron Fan, the wife of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, and the mother of Red Boy.

The Fire Banana Fan was one of the dharma treasures of Taishang Laojun, the good corpse of Taishang, the big player in alchemy within the Heavenly Court, and the originator of "listening to the call but not the proclamation"!

Its power was naturally guaranteed.

It was just that, until now, he still couldn't quite figure out.

What the relationship between Taishang Laojun and Princess Iron Fan was.

What her identity actually was.

To be able to get the same dharma treasure as a Saint!

In the legends of later generations, there were many opinions about her identity.

There were rumors that Princess Iron Fan was the ancestor of the Wind Department of the Heavenly Court.

Because she made a mistake due to drunkenness and had a quarrel with the Queen Mother of the West, she took the Wind Banana Fan and rebelled to the mortal world, living on Mount Tiecha next to the Flaming Mountain.

Later, because she met and fell in love with the Bull Demon King and married him, she had Red Boy.

There were also rumors that she was a princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Proficient in the methods of Buddhism and Daoism, she later married the Bull Demon King and had Red Boy.

But this theory had flaws.

It did not explain the origin of the Wind Banana Fan.

As one of the top-grade innate spiritual roots, the Four-Elephant Banana Tree.

If one did not have heaven-reaching cultivation, wanting to seize one of them.

Was simply an impossible thing!
