Chapter 27: Traditional Arts — If I Can Sue, I Certainly Won't Lift a Hand!

~7 min read 1,390 words

By now, the supreme treasures of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes have all fallen into Chen Ku's hands alone.

Naturally, he would not stop there.

Chen Ku continued searching, striking again and again.

In just a moment, he had already harvested over a dozen spiritual treasures.

Moreover, anything Chen Ku took a liking to was at least of inferior congenital grade.

Among them, what delighted Chen Ku most was a superior congenital spiritual treasure, the Wuji Bracelet.

Once unleashed, it can collect all treasures under heaven and also contains world‑shaking offensive power—truly unmatched in attack and unstoppable.

Originally, this treasure should have belonged to Yuanshi.

Unexpectedly, in this life, relying on foresight, I ended up snatching it myself.

But know this: the ones now dividing the spiritual treasures are a full three thousand great powers.

Chen Ku's performance was so outstanding that it naturally drew the covetous glances of some ambitious individuals.

What's more, among those three thousand great powers, most people's gains still pale in comparison to his astonishing haul.

Just after Chen Ku had taken yet another congenital spiritual treasure,

suddenly, a great power descended from the sky.

"Hehe, kid, you're quick on the draw."

"You really managed to seize the initiative."

"However, your haul is already enough; I'll graciously take the remaining many spiritual treasures for myself."

The comer sneered repeatedly, his eyes full of greed.

This person, too, is a great power at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Perhaps that is why his previous gains were merely some acquired spiritual treasures, completely unable to contend with other Quasi‑Sage powerhouses.

Therefore, upon seeing Chen Ku's such "good fortune," he immediately wanted to seize this feng shui treasure land and snatch the remaining many spiritual treasures.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's expression tightened; his inner mana surged involuntarily, mighty and overwhelming, captivating the mind.

He instinctively wanted to act.

But in the flash of lightning, a thought stirred in Chen Ku's mind.

The opponent is merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal, obviously a loose cultivator unaffiliated with any orthodox tradition.

Just this? Is it worth revealing my strength?!

Chen Ku gave a strange smile and immediately turned his gaze to Jieyin and Zhunti on the other side.

"Master, Senior Uncle, the spiritual treasures here are fated with my Western Sect!"

"But now someone wants to steal my disciple's opportunity."

Not bad!

Chen Ku hesitated not, directly unleashing the traditional art!

If I can sue, I certainly won't lift a hand!

This sudden remark left the previously sneering great power stunned.

No way?!

This kid… is he really that cowardly?!

Moreover, no one noticed that, at that very moment in another corner, upon hearing Chen Ku's words, Minghe Laozi's expression also froze, then turned grim.

He knows this move all too well!

Now, speaking of Jieyin and Zhunti.

The two were originally also striking repeatedly, happily collecting all kinds of spiritual treasures.

Upon hearing Chen Ku's words, they both immediately sank in expression and looked toward the sound.

As soon as they saw clearly the great power contending with Chen Ku, Jieyin immediately shouted coldly.

"Damn it!"

"Xuanqiong Daoist, if you dare to lay a hand on my disciple,"

"once this matter is settled, I will pursue you to the death!"

Xuanqiong Daoist is clearly the daoist title of the one intending to strike at Chen Ku.

Having listened to the teachings together three times in the Purple Sky Palace, Jieyin naturally recognized the other's identity at a glance.

Upon hearing those words, Xuanqiong Daoist also halted in his tracks, his face sinking like water.

"Damn it!"

He had originally intended to strike unexpectedly, snatch Chen Ku's opportunity, and leave.

And Chen Ku could only blame his own inadequacy.

Who would have thought this kid would play so outside the norm?!

With a single lawsuit, it directly drew the attention of Jieyin and Zhunti to this scene.

This really makes things rather tricky!

As for Jieyin and Zhunti, Xuanqiong Daoist naturally fears them immensely.

Not to mention their strength—any one of them could thrash him soundly.

Most importantly, once you provoke this "shameless duo," you'll be stuck like a bone‑eating maggot, impossible to shake off.

As the saying goes, you can guard against a thief for a thousand days, but a thief only needs one day to strike—how can you guard against him for a thousand days?!

If you truly ignore this and seize Chen Ku's opportunity, you'll find no peace day or night thereafter.

His expression shifting for a long while, Xuanqiong Daoist secretly weighed the pros and cons.

In the end, he could only stare at Chen Ku with a forehead full of black lines.

What a hateful brat!

Hmph, truly as shameless as Jieyin and Zhunti!

The Mysterious Heaven Daoist snorted coldly, his words full of contempt.

In his view, being so angrily rebuked by him, Chen Ku would at least feel a bit ashamed, right?

Who would have thought, upon hearing those words, Chen Ku showed no shame at all; instead, he held his head high with a look of triumph.

Unimportant!

With Chen Ku's thick skin, how could the Mysterious Heaven Daoist's words possibly get to him?!

Seeing Chen Ku like that, the Mysterious Heaven Daoist was utterly speechless.

In the end, he could only swallow his anger and storm off in another direction.

From beginning to end, the gathered mighty ones watched this scene, feeling both amused and exasperated.

To think there exists such a shameless person in the world—quite an eye-opener.

However, they still felt contempt in their hearts.

But after this incident, no one dared to covet Chen Ku's fortune any longer.

After all, everyone feared that this brat would file another complaint, redirecting the blame toward Jieyin and Zhunti.

For such a tough character, it's best to avoid provoking him.

This also left Chen Ku undisturbed, leisurely gathering all the surrounding spiritual treasures, missing none.

Afterwards, after sensing again, he found no more innate-level spiritual treasures around, and only then did he slowly stop.

Only then did he turn his attention to the harvests of the other mighty ones.

Above the heads of the Three Pure Ones, divine light burst forth, covering the sky and blocking the sun, with hundreds of light pillars shooting up, dazzling to the extreme.

Obviously, their haul amounted to several hundred spiritual treasures.

Nüwa was not to be outdone; with a wave of her jade hand, she directly seized over a hundred spiritual treasures and stored them away.

Perhaps out of fear of their status as disciples of Hongjun, no one dared to vie for the treasures surrounding the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa.

This made Chen Ku sigh, indeed it's good to rely on a big tree for shade.

Chen Ku also saw Jieyin and Zhunti; their haul, though, was not comparable to that of the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa.

But relying on their immense strength, they too managed to seize several dozen.

The remaining many spiritual treasures were divided up among the other mighty ones, leaving none.

Looking out over the Treasure-Dividing Rock, the former dazzling divine light was gone, the countless spectacle vanished.

"Ah... it seems my harvest is only these."

"Ah, suffering... ah, suffering..."

Chen Ku let out a sigh.

He knew that even if he continued searching elsewhere, those top-tier spiritual treasures had already been snatched up by the other mighty ones.

In other words, the treasure division at the Treasure-Dividing Rock has ended.

But upon second thought, Chen Ku also felt relieved.

"After all, those are mighty ones who have heard the Dao three times; their strength is naturally greater."

"I have only heard the Dao once; to have this much gain is not bad."

If the other mighty ones were to know of this thought, they would surely be so angry as to vomit blood.

You brat, even if your number of spiritual treasures isn't the highest, their quality is absolutely astonishing.

Know that among the countless mighty ones present, their harvests are mostly acquired spiritual treasures, with innate ones being exceedingly rare.

But Chen Ku, every single one of his is of innate-level spiritual treasure.

Moreover, Chen Ku did not notice, even as he felt joy in his heart and complained aloud.

Meanwhile, a sinister, icy gaze had already locked onto him.
