Chapter 25: Treasure-dividing Rock Emerges, Jade Pool Astonished!
Azure Lotus Treasure Banner!
Nine-ringed Staff!
Pure Water Bowl!
As Hongjun's words fell, the three treasures also immediately appeared, hovering before Jieyin and Zhunti.
Seeing this, Chen Ku finally fell silent.
Is that just these three paltry treasures?
Not only is the number smaller.
Moreover, compared to the harvest of the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and others, the grade of the treasures is also vastly different.
Among them, only the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner is an extreme-grade innate treasure, relatively rare.
However, to have such a harvest is still better than nothing.
Chen Ku also knew that if he continued to act miserable and complain, he would likely go too far and annoy Hongjun.
Thus, Chen Ku gave an embarrassed smile.
"Then thanks to the Patriarch!"
Hearing this, Hongjun was filled with black lines.
"You little brat, you really change faces quickly."
On the other side, Jieyin and Zhunti accepted the three treasures, thanked Hongjun the Dao Ancestor, and also looked at Chen Ku with satisfied smiles.
"Hehe, not bad for my disciple, well done!"
Jieyin secretly transmitted his divine sense, praising in this way.
And Chen Ku stopped his "Dao Ku", while all the great beings present also came to their senses.
Looking at Jieyin and Zhunti smiling with satisfaction, and Chen Ku with a look of "success", everyone stared at each other, astonished.
This damn... acting miserable actually still works?!
As long as one kneels and begs, cries a bit, can one move the Dao Ancestor's compassion and receive treasures?
Even the people themselves never expected why they would unconsciously feel sympathy for Chen Ku!
Having thought this, they no longer had time to think further.
"Dao Ancestor, please see clearly, we too are utterly miserable; please bestow blessings."
"Dao Ancestor above, we beings of our clan also daily remember your merit."
"Please, Dao Ancestor, grant treasures..."
For a moment, no one would laugh at Chen Ku and the others; instead, they all began to imitate.
In the Purple Cloud Palace, wails and pleas echoed everywhere, incredibly lively!
Moreover, as if fearing they could not move Hongjun the Dao Ancestor and lose the treasures, everyone cried more miserably than the next.
Such acting made Chen Ku couldn't help but sigh inwardly, too amazing!
At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly sneer!
These great beings, weren't they just mocking themselves earlier?!
The fact shows that if they see enough astonishing benefits, so-called face and dignity are nothing that can be casually discarded.
Even this crowd of great beings is thicker-skinned than Chen Ku.
Looking at the scene before him, Hongjun also furrowed his brows slightly.
He glanced at Chen Ku as if annoyed, clearly blaming him for causing all this.
But Chen Ku didn't care at all.
He knew that the division of treasures at the Treasure-dividing Rock was bound to happen.
Right now, Hongjun the Dao Ancestor feigning hesitation merely wants everyone to be more grateful, accumulating karmic merit.
In other words, it was actually Chen Ku who presented the Dao Ancestor Hongjun with the stage for distributing treasures.
Therefore, he wore an expression of taking it for granted, and also didn't mind Hongjun's gaze.
After a moment of contemplation, Hongjun sighed.
"Never mind!"
"I am about to merge with the Dao, so so-called treasures are also useless."
"Today, I will place them all in the Treasure-dividing Rock; you each, according to your fate, go and divide them."
Saying this, Hongjun again swept his wide sleeve, a divine light that covered the sky falling directly outside the Purple Cloud Palace.
That was precisely the Treasure-dividing Rock!
Seeing this scene, Chen Ku could hardly contain his excitement.
Here it comes! Here it comes!
The Treasure-dividing Rock's division of treasures finally happened as expected!
He had long anticipated this.
Moreover, to speak without exaggeration, the Treasure-dividing Rock's division of treasures is in no way inferior to the great opportunity of a sage expounding the Dao.
"Thanks for the Dao Ancestor's grace, junior pays respects!"
Taking advantage of everyone's stunned disbelief, Chen Ku immediately bowed in salute.
Before his words even finished, he had already leapt up, and with his movement techniques and divine powers, he flew straight out of the Purple Cloud Palace.
Displaying "Chasing Stars and Seizing the Moon", Chen Ku's speed was a flash, incredibly fast.
For a moment, all the great beings' faces were filled with astonishment, shocked beyond belief.
"This... what incredible speed!"
"Could that brat really be of Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation?!"
Even if we are Quasi-Sages, we probably don't have that kind of extreme speed.
Could it be... that this brat has mastered a space divine ability?!
Everyone unconsciously muttered to themselves, their hearts greatly shaken.
Only a space divine ability could make even Quasi-Sages feel inferior by comparison.
However, before everyone could continue sighing...
What are you standing around for?
Right now, dividing the treasures is the most important.
Such an exclamation instantly woke everyone up.
Before the words even fell, several figures shot up and rushed out of the Purple Cloud Palace.
Seeing this, the remaining powerhouses also woke up in a panic, hurriedly charging out of the Purple Cloud Palace to vie for higher-grade treasures.
Just as they stepped out of the Purple Cloud Palace, everyone saw the so-called Treasure Division Rock stretching across the void, boundless and endless.
It was practically like a ten-thousand-zhang abyss.
Within it, rays of spiritual light flashed, dazzling and blinding—indeed containing countless spiritual treasures.
And each spiritual treasure is sealed by a restrictive power; only by breaking the seal can one obtain the treasure.
Seeing this, Chen Ku was somewhat dumbfounded.
As far as the eye could see, the treasures within the Treasure Division Rock numbered not less than ten thousand—at least several thousand.
The grades of these treasures varied widely.
If one were to only obtain some low-grade treasures, wouldn't that be wasting such an excellent opportunity?
Chen Ku's goal was the top-grade spiritual treasures among them.
Looking around, Chen Ku suddenly moved, only to see the two child attendants serving beside the Dao Ancestor Hongjun—Haotian and Yaochi—already standing beneath the Treasure Division Rock.
In that instant, Chen Ku's eyes lit up!
I don't know where the top-grade spiritual treasures are, but Haotian and Yaochi, who have served the Dao Ancestor Hongjun for countless ages, surely must know!
Thinking this, he rolled his eyes and slowly descended before Yaochi.
"Ah, suffering... ah, suffering..."
Alas, my Western sect has meager karmic fortune and thin blessings; countless beings have sought a way out in vain.
This humble Daoist wishes to revive the West and benefit countless beings.
Chen Ku shook his head and sighed, wearing an expression of anguished sorrow, deeply troubled.
Seeing that, Yaochi couldn't help but glance sideways, her gaze landing on Chen Ku.
Just then, Chen Ku shifted his tone and said to Yaochi:
May I ask, Younger Sister Yaochi, could you give this humble Daoist some pointers......
Where exactly are those good treasures within the Treasure Division Rock!!
At this moment, Chen Ku wore a faint smile, yet his face was serious and utterly sincere.
As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face; as for face, what is that compared to a spiritual treasure?!
Faced with Chen Ku's sudden inquiry, Yaochi also startled, her face full of surprise.
Only then did Yaochi react.
Her expression was hesitant, torn, as if she were pondering something.
Merely, she appeared somewhat naive, inexperienced in worldly affairs, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes.
After a moment, she still timidly stretched out a finger and pointed out a direction for Chen Ku.
Chen Ku was overjoyed, having no time to say more.
He merely left a line, 'Thank you, Younger Sister Yaochi,' and then shot off like lightning toward the distance.
Yaochi stood frozen on the spot; even after watching Chen Ku's figure disappear from sight, she remained dazed, somewhat unable to react.
