Chapter 52: Jieyin and Zhunti Shocked: Are There Still Three Clans of Spiritual Treasures

The spiritual treasure appears!

In an instant, yin and yang intertwined around the three, blending and merging, profound and profound.

Vast tracts of Dao patterns were sketched out, faintly depicting an immensely grand, obscure and mystical diagram of the Great Dao.

Imperishable spiritual light poured forth, stirring hearts and minds.

The Creation Cauldron!

This is another great gain Chen Ku previously obtained in the Treasure-Separating Rock.

This item ranks as a top-grade innate spiritual treasure; its interior contains innate Dao patterns such as Yin-Yang and Eight Trigrams, capable of gathering the essences of heaven, earth, sun, and moon.

Used for refining spiritual treasures, immortal pills, and so on, it yields twice the result with half the effort, success comes naturally.

In legend, Hongjun Dao Ancestor wields the Heaven-Earth Cauldron, which can refine all things and return to the origin, elevating spiritual treasure grades and transforming the acquired into the innate.

Although the Creation Cauldron's function is inferior to the Heaven-Earth Cauldron, for the West, which lacks many spiritual treasures, it is now a timely boon.

Chen Ku held the Creation Cauldron and looked toward Jieyin beside him.

"This is the Creation Cauldron; it can refine all kinds of spiritual treasures, even immortal pills."

"Although it cannot compare to the Heaven-Earth Cauldron in Hongjun Dao Ancestor's hand, its effect is still astonishing."

"In the future, it can also be used to make up for the West's shortage of spiritual treasures."

"As a disciple, I am not skilled in the ways of refining artifacts or elixirs, so it is better to entrust this spiritual treasure to the master's control."

Not bad!

Chen Ku now took out this spiritual treasure in order to hand it over to his own master, Jieyin the Daoist.

His words were humble, but in fact he possessed heaven-defying comprehension; grasping the principles of artifact and elixir refinement was no difficulty.

But Chen Ku had no intention there, for he well knew the principle that greed leads to indigestion.

For now, it is best to focus on cultivating his own Dao, aiming to someday prove the Dao and achieve Primordial Unity.

Upon hearing Chen Ku's words, Jieyin Zhunti gazed at the Creation Cauldron radiating divine light, also stunned and shocked.

Another great surprise!

As Chen Ku said, the West lacks spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, which is also a pain in Jieyin Zhunti's heart.

Otherwise, they would not have needed to dig three feet deep and search for that opportunity, only to be secretly criticized by the masses.

With this Creation Cauldron in hand, it amounts to being able to produce an endless stream of spiritual treasures in the future.

Know that the acquired spiritual treasures forged by true masters are not necessarily weaker than ordinary innate spiritual treasures.

This can be seen from the Heaven-Overturning Seal held by Guang Chengzi during the Investiture of the Gods era.

Therefore, relying on this treasure, given time, it will surely make up for the West's lack of spiritual treasures.

"Good, good!"

"Although we do not specialize in the path of artifact refinement, all laws share a common source, so we understand a little."

"Moreover, once we become saints, refining spiritual treasures will go without saying."

"This Creation Cauldron has also been a great help to us."

Jieyin looked at the Creation Cauldron, overjoyed, and repeatedly exclaimed.

Jieyin Zhunti, after all, has cultivated for endless ages, making them an extremely ancient existence.

They have also dabbled somewhat in the ways of artifact and elixir refinement.

Thus, Jieyin appeared full of confidence, with impassioned words.

After all, the Creation Cauldron is already in hand; how could we let such a treasure gather dust?!

Well collected!

Chen Ku, this disciple, truly has been well collected!

In the Primordial Heaven and Earth, I have only heard of the master giving this treasure to the disciple.

But the reverse— the disciple offering their opportunity to the master— might well be called a first-ever unprecedented event.

He stood on no ceremony, immediately sweeping his hand to take in the Creation Cauldron.

This sight made Zhunti nearby feel a twinge of envy and jealousy.

Certainly, it was not envy of Jieyin's control over such a spiritual treasure as the Creation Cauldron.

Rather, it was envy of Jieyin's ability to take on such a stunningly talented disciple, truly a matter of enhancing one's reputation.

Just as Zhunti sighed in his heart, Jieyin beamed with joy.

Yet Chen Ku's actions did not stop!

A slight stir of thought.

"Auspicious Beast Seal!"

"Ancestral Dragon Pearl!"

"Phoenix Fan!"

Three beams of divine radiance suddenly appeared, hovering before Chen Ku's face.

Again, three supreme treasures manifested!

In an instant, three unmatchable surges of aura burst forth, sweeping across the high heavens.

Faintly, even the dragon's roar and phoenix's cry of a great heavenly sound echoed, shaking the deaf and making the scalp tingle.

Jieyin Zhunti stared, dumbfounded!

What a fellow!

Just how much fortune does this kid have?!

"This... Ancestral Dragon Pearl? Phoenix Fan?!"

"Have these two treasures also come into your hands?"

After regaining his senses, with the gaze of Jieyin and Zhunti, he naturally recognized at a glance what the object before him actually was.

Zhunti could not hide the shock in his heart, exclaimed aloud, and said thus.

Back when they roamed Mount Buzhou, Chen Ku's acquisition of the Qilin Seal was witnessed personally by Jieyin and Zhunti.

Even then, they had briefly communicated with the remnant soul of the Primordial Qilin.

But Zhunti never imagined that now even the treasured heirlooms of the Dragon and Phoenix clans would actually be in Chen Ku's hands.

The three great clan treasures gathered together—what an astonishing, world‑shaking fortune!

Jieyin was equally shocked.

His gaze often wandered between the Ancestral Dragon Pearl and the Phoenix Fan, the two spiritual treasures.

"Not bad... absolutely no mistake!"

"Within these two treasures, the aura of the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix still lingers."

"The aura of the ancient heavenly overlords—such an aura cannot be faked!"

Jieyin's words further confirmed the authenticity of these two treasures.

Although the Ancestral Dragon Pearl and the Phoenix Fan do not contain the surviving remnant souls of the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix, the supreme aura that dominates heaven and earth, though countless ages have passed, still exerts a powerful influence that makes one's heart tremble.

Moreover, needless to say, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl and the Phoenix Fan are the same as the Qilin Seal in this regard.

At present they appear unimpressive, but that is merely because they lack the blessings of the two clans' fortune.

If they could be returned to the hands of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, they would surely regain their former peak state, their divine might shaking the universe.

"Haha, my disciple truly possesses deep blessings!"

Jieyin laughed loudly, complacently muttering to himself.

If only one of the three great treasures had been obtained, its usefulness could perhaps be said to be limited.

But when all three great treasures are in the same person's hands, the meaning thereof is entirely different.

Moreover, know that in the eyes of Jieyin and Zhunti, the previous division of treasures at the Dividing Treasure Rock was obtained solely by each according to their own fortune.

They also did not see Chen Ku's "cheating" act of inquiring about the Jade Pool.

Therefore, Jieyin naturally thought: could it be that this great fortune actually belongs to Chen Ku?

In other words, did the treasures of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans all choose Chen Ku?

Furthermore, Jieyin has not forgotten that Chen Ku also obtained even more astonishing gains such as the God‑Slaying Spear and the Twelve‑Rank World‑Destroying Black Lotus.

This can hardly be summed up by a mere phrase "deep blessings"; it is practically a monstrous existence.

Of course, Chen Ku is unaware of what Jieyin is thinking.

Seeing Jieyin and Zhunti's shocked expressions, he smiled faintly and paid no heed.

Yet on his face appeared a thoughtful look; the promise of the Primordial Qilin's remnant soul once again echoed in his sea of consciousness, making him seem to be weighing something.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Ku finally spoke:

"Master, Martial Uncle, disciple has pondered long and hard!"

"As the Primordial Qilin said, these three clan treasures, in our hands, their power will ultimately be limited."

"If so, should we return these three treasures to the three clans?"

"What?" Upon hearing Chen Ku's words, Zhunti was greatly astonished, his eyes full of incomprehension.

"Why is that?"

"Although these three treasures are not supreme innate spiritual treasures, they are still top‑notch treasures; to return them just like that would be a great waste, wouldn't it?"

"Or does Chen Ku have some other motive?"
