Chapter 32: Distributing Treasures, Merging with the Dao

Just as everyone's thoughts were surging, Hongjun spoke again.

"Laozi is the head disciple of my Xuanmen. I will bestow upon you the Taiji Diagram transformed from the Pangu Axe. This object is perfect for you as an orthodox descendant of Pangu." Hongjun glanced at Laozi, then handed him something that looked like a scroll.

"Thank you, Teacher, for the reward!" Laozi excitedly took the Taiji Diagram and said. He could feel that this Taiji Diagram was actually an innate spiritual treasure.

You know, there were not many innate spiritual treasures in the entire Primordial World. The only innate spiritual treasures they had ever seen were the Hetu Luoshu and the Chaos Bell in the hands of Tai Yi and Di Jun. At that time, the Three Pure Ones were very envious. They didn't expect that they would have one now.

"This Pangu Banner is also transformed from the Pangu Axe, and it also fits the orthodox descendant of Pangu. Give it to Yuanshi." After speaking, Hongjun took out a small grey banner the size of a palm.

"Thank you, Teacher, for the reward!" Yuanshi took the Pangu Banner with full joy. After getting the Pangu Banner, Yuanshi was stunned for a moment, and then a look of excitement appeared in his eyes. An innate spiritual treasure, this was actually an innate spiritual treasure. Presumably, Big Brother's Taiji Diagram was also an innate spiritual treasure.

"Tongtian, the spiritual treasure I give you, although not transformed from the Pangu Axe, is the most powerful among all my spiritual treasures. I have suffered losses under this spiritual treasure back then." As Hongjun said this, he flipped his hand, and a black-red light appeared in his hand.

When this black-red light appeared, a heaven-shaking killing intent and evil spirit directly shrouded the Zixiao Palace, which made everyone subconsciously open their magic power protective shields to prevent themselves from losing their composure.

This was actually done by Hongjun on purpose. As for the reason, only he himself knew.

"This is the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Map. This Zhuxian Sword was the sword of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou back then. Combined with the Zhuxian Formation Map, it can set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation. This Zhuxian Sword Formation cannot be broken without four Saints. I hope you use it well. Because this sword has too much killing, it cannot suppress fortune. You must know this," Hongjun looked at Tongtian and explained patiently.

"Thank you, Teacher, for bestowing the treasure." Tongtian swallowed hard and took the black-red light ball from Hongjun's hand with trembling hands.

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun looked at each other. They saw the joy in each other's eyes, but also a few worries. The Dao Ancestor just said it very clearly: this Zhuxian Sword Formation cannot be broken without four Saints! Even the Dao Ancestor had suffered losses under this Zhuxian Sword Formation, so if...

They didn't dare to think further, and they couldn't think about it, because Tongtian was their third brother.

Others in the Zixiao Palace saw this scene and gasped one after another. It cannot be broken without four Saints. Now there is only one Saint in the Primordial World, the Dao Ancestor! If Tongtian wanted to do something, no one could stop him at all.

"Nüwa, this Map of Mountains and Rivers and Social Structures is for you. This map is transformed from the broken Chaos Green Lotus that grew in Chaos before Pangu opened the heavens. It contains a world and records the mountains, rivers, and earth veins of the Primordial World. This treasure can seal the gods of the mountains, rivers, lakes, and rivers of the Primordial World, and can also mobilize the power of the mountains and rivers of the Primordial World. In addition, this map is also a supreme treasure for capturing and trapping people, which is just right for your self-defense. You will have great merit in the future, so I will give you this top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball, and the Treasure Lotus Lamp together." As Hongjun said this, he took out a scroll similar to the Taiji Diagram, a bright red Red Embroidered Ball with tassels and bells, and a lotus-shaped lamp that was emerald green, and handed them to Nüwa.

"Thank you, Teacher, for the reward!" Seeing that she actually had three spiritual treasures, Nüwa's expression was also very excited.

Seeing this scene, the Three Pure Ones had no jealousy in their hearts. Nüwa was the only woman on the prayer mat, so it was understandable that the Teacher loved her a little more.

After distributing treasures to Nüwa, Hongjun stopped, which made Jieyin and Zhunti, who were full of expectations, panic immediately, and at the same time, a trace of resentment arose in their hearts. We are also the Teacher's disciples, although we are only registered disciples, we are also people on the prayer mat!

"I beg for Teacher's mercy. My senior brother and I came from afar, and the Western spiritual veins are all destroyed and extremely barren. Please have mercy, Teacher. Considering the barrenness of our West, please bestow upon us two magic treasures for self-defense!" Zhunti knelt in front of Hongjun again and cried bitterly, using the same set of statements as before.

Others saw this scene and showed disdainful expressions on their faces. When they accepted disciples before, they used this trick, and now they are using it again? You know, the emotional card is only best used when playing the first hand; the second time, it will make people feel annoyed.

But soon, everyone in the Zixiao Palace was slapped in the face, because the Dao Ancestor seemed to really eat this set!

"Sigh! Since this is the case, I will bestow upon you the 12th-grade Merit Golden Lotus and the Blessing Divine Pestle for self-defense." Seeing Jieyin and Zhunti like this, Hongjun reached out again and took out two light balls and handed them to Jieyin and Zhunti.

This was incredible. Everyone saw Zhunti cry twice, and the statements used both times were the same, and both times they had effects. Does that mean if they also cried to the Dao Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor would also give them treasures?

Thinking of this, people led by Di Jun and Tai Yi immediately knelt on the ground and began to cry, crying while telling their difficulties. That sound was truly heartbreaking to hear and tear-jerking to listen to!

"The things I collected back then are all placed on the Fenbao Rock outside the palace. You can go and take them yourselves." Seeing others crying to him again, Hongjun was a little impatient. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the gate of the Zixiao Palace was opened.

The moment the gate opened, Laozi was the first to turn into a clear breeze and disappear from the spot, followed by Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian, who also disappeared from the spot.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones disappear, Nüwa also subconsciously disappeared from the spot. Seeing the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa disappear, others reacted.

The Dao Ancestor just said that there is a Fenbao Rock outside, on which there are treasures collected by the Dao Ancestor in his early years, but the Dao Ancestor didn't say that those who had been bestowed treasures could not take them. Thinking of this, Jieyin and Zhunti also hurriedly disappeared from the prayer mats. Seeing this, Kunpeng left an afterimage on the spot, and this afterimage didn't disappear until several breaths later.

"Hurry up! If you're late, there won't even be soup left." Suddenly someone shouted loudly, and then everyone disappeared from the spot.

Seeing that everyone had disappeared from the Zixiao Palace, a smile appeared on the corner of Hongjun's mouth. He didn't disappear from the spot immediately, he didn't even close the door of the Zixiao Palace, he wanted to see if there were any smart people.

In Hongjun's view, the Three Pure Ones should be smart people, but it was hard to say about others.

Arriving at the Fenbao Rock, the pearl light and treasure aura almost blinded Laozi. Even with his state of mind that hadn't changed for tens of thousands of years, a trace of fluctuation occurred here. Of course, Laozi also knew that he couldn't take everything. He sensed it, and then waved his hand, and several rays of treasure light flew out from the Fenbao Rock and drilled into his sleeves.

Seeing only a few rays of treasure light, Laozi was stunned for a moment, then smiled indifferently. His state of mind was originally inaction, and it was reasonable to have these.

Behind Laozi was Yuanshi Tianzun. Seeing this Fenbao Rock, his eyes also flickered, and then he waved his hand, and more than a dozen rays of treasure light detached from the Fenbao Rock and flew into Yuanshi Tianzun's sleeves.

Like Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun showed a puzzled expression, and then he waved his sleeves again, but this time no treasure light flew toward Yuanshi Tianzun from the Fenbao Rock.

Only then did Yuanshi Tianzun know that the spiritual treasures on this Fenbao Rock were fixed in number. Thinking of this, he also felt relieved.

At this time, Tongtian also arrived. Seeing the treasure light on this Fenbao Rock, Tongtian swallowed his saliva, then waved his hand, and hundreds of rays of treasure light suddenly flew out from the Fenbao Rock and drilled into Tongtian's sleeves.

Laozi and Yuanshi saw this scene, and their eyes widened. At this time, two words appeared in their hearts: Why? On what basis?

Tongtian already had the Zhuxian Sword that cannot be broken without four Saints, but why could he still collect so many spiritual treasures? This looked very unreasonable!

Just when Laozi and Yuanshi were thinking, Nüwa also arrived in front of the Fenbao Rock. Seeing that there were still many spiritual treasures on the Fenbao Rock, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Nüwa waved her hand, and several rays of treasure light flew into Nüwa's hands. She frowned slightly, and soon understood the reason for this.

Seeing that Nüwa was also like this, Laozi and Yuanshi's brows relaxed a little. This is right, this is the correct way to open the Fenbao Rock. Tongtian's situation just now must be an illusion, right, it must be an illusion.

Behind Nüwa came Jieyin and Zhunti, as well as Kunpeng and others from the Zixiao Palace. Seeing that the Fenbao Rock was still flashing with treasure light, their nervous hearts relaxed a lot, and then they began to collect treasures.

Clearly, they also had the same situation as Laozi and the others, and some people couldn't get spiritual treasures from the Fenbao Rock at all, which made those people's state of mind unbalanced. They actually wanted to grab them by force, but the result was being bounced away by the Fenbao Rock, and they could no longer approach the Fenbao Rock.

Jieyin and Zhunti collected more than a dozen rays of treasure light together. Counting them, it was not much. Others basically had one, and some had three.

After everyone tried it once, the spiritual treasures on the Fenbao Rock suddenly began to tremble, and then turned into countless rays of light and flew toward the Primordial World, leaving only a bare Fenbao Rock.

Seeing this bare Fenbao Rock, Tongtian really liked it in his heart. He wanted to take the Fenbao Rock, but hindered by the people around him, he finally suppressed the impulse.

After all the spiritual treasures on the Fenbao Rock flew away, those people in the Zixiao Palace returned directly to the Primordial World. Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other and left directly. Mainly, they had never seen so many treasures since they were born, and they were afraid that if they delayed a while longer, someone would ambush them on the way back.

"Let's go too." At this time, Yuanshi said.

"Wait!" Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Laozi suddenly frowned and said.

"Big Brother, what's wrong?" Tongtian asked.

Nüwa on the side also stopped her footsteps. She wanted to hear what Laozi had to say.

"It's not right, the time is not right!" Laozi suddenly said.

"The time is not right? What do you mean? What time?" Yuanshi directly asked three questions in a row.

"The time for the sermon, the time for this sermon is only two thousand years. Let's go, let's hurry back to the Zixiao Palace." Thinking of this, Laozi didn't explain to others and went straight to the Zixiao Palace.

Yuanshi and Tongtian on the side saw Laozi like this and hurriedly followed behind him. Hearing this, Nüwa also calculated with her fingers and found that it was indeed only two thousand years.

It was impossible for the Dao Ancestor to make such a low-level mistake. Since the Dao Ancestor only lectured for two thousand years, it meant that the remaining one thousand years were deliberate. There was something important that he didn't want others to know, and whoever could discover this point would be able to get benefits that others couldn't get.

Thinking of this, Nüwa hurriedly followed behind Tongtian and the others.

After the Three Pure Ones and others left, a white light appeared on the Fenbao Rock, and then there was more and more white light. After it wrapped the entire Fenbao Rock, it turned into a ray of light and flew toward the Primordial World.

When the Three Pure Ones and others arrived at the Zixiao Palace, a smile appeared on Laozi's face. He was right, the Dao Ancestor was still there, because the door of the Zixiao Palace was not closed.

Nüwa, who followed the Three Pure Ones, saw that the door of the Zixiao Palace was not closed, and a smile also appeared on her face. It seemed that she guessed right, the Dao Ancestor really did it on purpose, and she actually caught up. She was very glad that she stopped when Laozi was puzzled, otherwise she might have left, and then this heaven-defying wealth wouldn't have been her turn.

"You're here! Sit!" Seeing the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa return to the Zixiao Palace, Hongjun smiled.

The next second, the door of the Zixiao Palace closed.

One thousand years later, the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa left the Zixiao Palace with smiles on their faces. In this thousand years, what Hongjun said to them, except for themselves, no one knew, and they probably wouldn't tell others.

After the Three Pure Ones and others left, Hongjun's expression suddenly became serious.

"It's time!" Hongjun muttered to himself.

After speaking, Hongjun took out the Creation Jade Plate. He held the Creation Jade Plate in front of him, and then a white light suddenly appeared on his body. This white light was filled with a thick Heavenly Dao aura. Hongjun's expression also gradually became indifferent, and his eyes began to become hollow.

Suddenly, the white light on Hongjun's body trembled, and the hollow eyes regained a trace of spirit, but not much.

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and one escapes, so the Heavenly Dao is incomplete. Now I, Hongjun, will merge with the Heavenly Dao with my body. From now on, the Heavenly Dao is Hongjun, and Hongjun is not the Heavenly Dao." Hongjun's voice abruptly spread throughout the Primordial World, but at the last sentence, there seemed to be a slight pause, but no one noticed it.

As soon as Hongjun's voice fell, the entire Primordial World shook for no reason, and then a realization appeared in everyone's heart, as if the Heavenly Dao had been completed by a part.

"Dao Ancestor is merciful! Dao Ancestor is merciful!" Seeing this, all living beings in the Primordial World hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted.

But Hongjun in the Zixiao Palace was not happy at all. He was talking to a white light ball at this time.

"You schemed against me. If I hadn't discovered something wrong at the last moment, did you want to turn me into your puppet?" Hongjun's language was full of anger.

"This is your mission!" A cold voice appeared in that white light ball.

"You didn't say that back then," Hongjun looked at the Heavenly Dao coldly.

"This is your mission. Your existence is to complete the insufficiency of the Heavenly Dao," the Heavenly Dao's voice was mechanical and cold.
