Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 32: Dividing treasures and uniting the Tao

Just as everyone's thoughts were racing, Hongjun spoke again. 🍫 🎀 68M.K. 🎀 🍫

"Laozi is the chief disciple of my Xuanmen, so I bestow upon you this Taiji diagram transformed from the Pangu Axe. This item is perfectly suited to your lineage of Pangu." Hongjun glanced at Laozi and then handed him something that looked like a scroll.

"Thank you for your gift, teacher!" Lao Tzu said excitedly as he accepted the Tai Chi diagram. He could sense that the Tai Chi diagram was actually a supreme innate treasure.

You should know that there are very few innate treasures in the entire prehistoric world. The only innate treasures they have ever seen are the Hetu Luoshu and the Chaos Bell in the hands of Taiyi and Dijun. At that time, the Three Pure Ones were extremely envious. They never thought that they would have them now.

"This Pangu Banner was also transformed from Pangu's Axe, and it is in line with the true lineage of Pangu, so let's give it to Yuanshi." After saying that, Hongjun took out a small gray banner about the size of a palm.

"Thank you for the gift, teacher!" Yuanshi happily accepted the Pangu Banner. After receiving the Pangu Banner, Yuanshi was stunned for a moment, and then a look of excitement appeared in his eyes. A primordial treasure! This is actually a primordial treasure. My elder brother's Taiji Diagram must also be a primordial treasure.

"Tongtian, although this spiritual treasure I'm giving you isn't formed from Pangu's Axe, it's the most powerful of all my spiritual treasures. I even suffered losses from it back then." As Hongjun spoke, he flipped his hand, and a ball of black and red light appeared in his palm.

As soon as the black and red light appeared, an overwhelming killing intent and malevolent aura enveloped the Zixiao Palace, causing everyone to instinctively activate their magical protective shields to prevent themselves from losing control.

This was actually Hongjun's deliberate act, and the reason behind it is something only he himself knows.

"These are the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram. The Zhuxian Sword was once the sword of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. When used with the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, the Zhuxian Sword Formation can be set up. This Zhuxian Sword Formation cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages. I hope you will use it wisely. This sword is too heavy in killing, so it cannot suppress destiny. You should know this." Hongjun looked at Tongtian and patiently explained.

"Thank you for the treasure, Master." Tongtian swallowed hard and accepted the black and red ball of light from Hongjun's hand with trembling hands.

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun exchanged a glance. They saw joy in each other's eyes, but also a hint of worry. The Dao Ancestor had clearly stated that the Four Swords of Zhuxian could not be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages! Even the Dao Ancestor had suffered losses against the Zhuxian Sword Formation, so what if...?

They dared not think further, nor could they even begin to think about it, because Tongtian was their third brother.

The others in Zixiao Palace gasped in shock at the sight. It was impossible to break through without the Four Sages, and now there was only one Sage in the Primordial World: the Dao Ancestor! If Tongtian wanted to do something, no one could stop him.

"Nuwa, this Mountain and River Map is for you. This map was formed from the broken Chaos Green Lotus that grew in the chaos before Pangu created the world. It contains a world within it and records the mountains, rivers and veins of the primordial wilderness. This treasure can seal the gods of the mountains, rivers and lakes of the primordial wilderness, and it can also mobilize the power of the water veins of the primordial wilderness. In addition, this map is also a treasure for capturing and trapping people. It is perfect for your self-defense. You will have a great merit in the future, so I will give you this top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball and the Lotus Lantern together." As Hongjun spoke, he took out a scroll that was somewhat similar to the Taiji diagram, a large red embroidered ball with dangling beads and jingling rings, and a green lotus-shaped lamp and handed it to Nuwa.

"Thank you for your gift, teacher!" Nuwa was very excited to see that she had three magical treasures.

Seeing this, the Three Pure Ones felt no jealousy. Nuwa was the only woman on the prayer mat, so it was understandable that their teacher would show her more favor.

After distributing the treasures to Nuwa, Hongjun stopped, which immediately panicked Jieyin and Zhunti, who were full of expectations. At the same time, a trace of resentment arose in their hearts. We are also Master's disciples. Although we are only nominal disciples, we are still people on the futon!

"Please have mercy, Master. My senior brother and I have come from afar. The spiritual veins of the West are completely destroyed and extremely barren. Please have pity on us and grant us two magical treasures to protect us, considering the barrenness of the West!" Zhunti knelt down in front of Hongjun again and wept bitterly, using the same excuse as before.

Those who witnessed this scene scoffed. "You used the same trick when you were taking on apprentices before, and you're still using it now? You know, playing the emotional card only works the first time; the second time, it just gets annoying."

But soon, everyone in Zixiao Palace was proven wrong, because it seemed that the Dao Ancestor really fell for this trick!

"Alas! Since that's the case, I'll bestow these twelve-petaled golden lotuses of merit and the blessed vajra upon you for protection." Seeing Jieyin and Zhunti like this, Hongjun reached out again and took out two orbs of light, handing them to Jieyin and Zhunti.

This is quite remarkable. Everyone saw that Zhunti cried twice, using the same excuses both times, and that both times it was effective. Does that mean that if they also cried to the Dao Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor would give them treasures?

Thinking of this, Di Jun and Tai Yi, the leaders, immediately knelt on the ground and began to cry. While crying, they told about their difficulties. Their voices were so heartbreaking that they brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard them!

"All the things I collected back then are placed on the Treasure-Distributing Rock outside the palace. You can go and retrieve them yourselves." Seeing the others crying to him again, Hongjun became somewhat impatient. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the gate of Zixiao Palace was opened.

The moment the gate opened, Laozi was the first to transform into a wisp of wind and disappear from the spot, followed by Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian.

After seeing the Three Pure Ones disappear, Nuwa subconsciously vanished from the spot as well. Only after the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa disappeared did the others realize what had happened.

As Daozu just mentioned, there is a Treasure Sharing Rock outside, on which are treasures that Daozu collected in his early years. However, Daozu did not say that those who have been given treasures cannot take them. Thinking of this, Jieyin and Zhunti quickly disappeared from the futon. Kunpeng, seeing this, left a residual image on the spot, which disappeared after several breaths.

"Hurry up! There won't be any soup left if you're late!" someone suddenly shouted, and then everyone disappeared from the spot.

After everyone disappeared from Zixiao Palace, Hongjun smiled. He didn't disappear immediately; he didn't even close the gates of Zixiao Palace. He wanted to see if there were any clever people among them.

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

Upon arriving at the Treasure Dividing Rock, the dazzling brilliance almost blinded Laozi. Even his unchanging mindset of tens of thousands of years was slightly shaken here. Of course, Laozi knew that he could not take all of them. He sensed them for a moment, then waved his hand, and several beams of light flew out from the Treasure Dividing Rock and entered his sleeve.

Seeing only a few rays of light, Laozi was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief. His mindset was originally one of non-action, so it was only natural that he could have these.

Behind Laozi was Yuanshi Tianzun. When he saw the Treasure Dividing Rock, his eyes flickered for a moment. Then, with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen beams of light detached from the Treasure Dividing Rock and flew into Yuanshi Tianzun's sleeve.

Like Lao Tzu, Yuanshi Tianzun looked puzzled. Then he waved his sleeve again, but this time no treasure light flew towards Yuanshi Tianzun from the Treasure Distribution Rock.

Only then did Yuanshi Tianzun realize that the spiritual treasures on the Treasure Sharing Rock were all limited in number, and upon realizing this, he felt relieved.

At this moment, Tongtian also arrived. Upon seeing the precious light on the Treasure Dividing Rock, Tongtian swallowed hard. Then, with a wave of his hand, hundreds of precious lights suddenly flew out from the Treasure Dividing Rock and then entered Tongtian's sleeve.

When Laozi and Yuanshi saw this, their eyes widened. At that moment, two words came to their minds: Why? By what right?

He already possesses the Immortal-Slaying Sword, which is unbreakable by any but the Four Sages, so why is he still able to collect so many spiritual treasures? This seems very illogical!

Just as Laozi and Yuanshi were pondering, Nuwa arrived at the Treasure Distribution Rock. When she saw that there were still many spiritual treasures on the rock, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then Nuwa waved her hand, and several beams of light flew into her hand. She frowned slightly, and quickly understood the reason behind it.

Seeing Nuwa in the same state, Laozi and Yuanshi relaxed their brows slightly. That's right, that's the correct way to open the Treasure Distribution Rock. Tongtian's situation just now must have been an illusion. Yes, it must have been an illusion.

Behind Nuwa were Jieyin and Zhunti, along with Kunpeng and the others from Zixiao Palace. When they saw that the treasure-gathering rock was still shining brightly, their tense hearts relaxed considerably, and they then began to collect the treasures.

Clearly, they encountered the same situation as Laozi and the others. Some of them couldn't even get any spiritual treasures from the Treasure Dividing Rock, which caused them to lose their composure. They even tried to forcibly seize the treasures, but they were bounced away by the Treasure Dividing Rock and could never get close to it again.

Jieyin and Zhunti together collected a dozen or so Dao Treasure Lights, which isn't a lot. The others basically received one, with some receiving three.

After everyone had tried it, the spiritual treasures on the Treasure Distribution Rock suddenly began to tremble, and then turned into countless streams of light that flew towards the primordial land, leaving only a bare Treasure Distribution Rock.

When Tongtian saw the bare Treasure Sharing Rock, he was really pleased with it and wanted to take it. However, because of the people around him, he finally restrained his impulse.

After all the spiritual treasures on the Treasure Distribution Rock flew away, the people in Zixiao Palace returned directly to the Primordial World. Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and then left as well. Mainly, they had never seen so many treasures since they were born, and they were afraid that if they delayed any longer, someone would ambush them on their way back.

"Let's go too," Yuanshi said at this moment.

"Wait!" Just as everyone was about to leave, Lao Tzu suddenly frowned and said.

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

Nuwa, who was standing nearby, also stopped in her tracks, wanting to hear what Laozi had to say.

"No, the timing is wrong!" Lao Tzu suddenly said.

"The timing is wrong? What do you mean? What time is it?" Yuanshi asked in a row.

"The time for this sermon is only two thousand years. Let's hurry back to Zixiao Palace." With that thought, Laozi didn't explain to anyone else and headed straight for Zixiao Palace.

Seeing Laozi like this, Yuanshi and Tongtian quickly followed behind him. When Nuwa heard this, she also calculated with her fingers and found that it really was only two thousand years.

The Dao Ancestor would never make such a basic mistake. Since the Dao Ancestor only spoke for two thousand years, it means that the remaining one thousand years was something he did intentionally. He must have something important that he didn't want others to know, and whoever discovers this will gain benefits that others cannot.

Thinking of this, Nuwa quickly followed behind Tongtian and the others.

After the Three Pure Ones and the others left, a white light appeared on the Treasure Dividing Rock. Then, the white light grew stronger and stronger, eventually enveloping the entire Treasure Dividing Rock before transforming into a stream of light and flying towards the primordial land.

When the Three Pure Ones arrived at Zixiao Palace, Laozi smiled. He was right; the Dao Ancestor was still there, because the doors of Zixiao Palace were not closed.

Nuwa, following behind the Three Pure Ones, saw that the gates of Zixiao Palace were still open, and a smile appeared on her face. It seemed that her guess was correct; the Dao Ancestor had indeed done it on purpose, and she had actually caught up with it. She was very glad that she had stopped when Laozi was puzzled, otherwise she might have left, and then this immense wealth would not have been hers.

"You've arrived! Have a seat!" Hongjun smiled when he saw the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa return to Zixiao Palace.

The next second, the gates of Zixiao Palace closed.

A thousand years later, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa left Zixiao Palace with smiles on their faces. What Hongjun told them during those thousand years is unknown to anyone but themselves, and they probably wouldn't tell anyone else either.

After the Three Pure Ones left, Hongjun's expression suddenly turned serious.

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

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

Suddenly, the white light around Hongjun trembled slightly, and a trace of light returned to his empty eyes, though not much.

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and one is missing. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao is incomplete. Now, I, Hongjun, will merge with the Heavenly Dao. From now on, the Heavenly Dao will be Hongjun, and Hongjun will not be the Heavenly Dao." Hongjun's voice suddenly spread throughout the entire prehistoric world. However, there seemed to be a slight pause at the end of the last sentence, but no one noticed it.

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, the entire prehistoric world suddenly trembled for no apparent reason. Then, everyone felt a sense of enlightenment, as if a part of the Heavenly Dao had been completed.

"Dao Ancestor, have mercy! Dao Ancestor, have mercy!" Upon seeing this, all living beings in the primordial world quickly knelt on the ground and cried out.

However, Hongjun in Zixiao Palace was not happy at all. He was talking to a white ball of light.

"You schemed against me! If I hadn't discovered something was wrong at the last moment, would you have wanted to turn me into your puppet?" Hongjun's words were full of anger.

"This is your mission!" A chilling voice emerged from the white orb of light.

"That's not what you said back then," Hongjun said coldly, looking at the Heavenly Dao.

"This is your mission; your existence is to make up for the deficiencies of the Heavenly Dao." The voice of the Heavenly Dao was mechanical and cold.
