Primordial Era: The Three Senior Brothers of the Taiqing Clan

Chen Qing slowly took out a small flag from his sleeve; it was the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag.

With a casual wave of his hand, ten thousand golden flowers bloomed from the flag, layer upon layer, completely protecting his entire body. As the golden flowers swirled, a faint aura of the Great Dao permeated the air, making it truly a rare defensive treasure.

Seeing this, Zhunti smiled nonchalantly and raised his hand to reveal his most prized spiritual treasure—the Seven Treasures Tree.

The tree was crystal clear, with seven-colored light flowing around it, exuding a mysterious aura. In his view, the difference in cultivation level could not be made up for by a mere top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and besides, the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand was by no means weak.

Chen Qing's lips curled into a slight, disdainful smile. Immediately afterward, a small cauldron slowly rose from his body, hovering above his head. It was none other than the innate treasure—the Qiankun Cauldron.

The cauldron was ancient and heavy, and the light of creation cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping Chen Qing completely.

Zhunti gazed at the Qiankun Cauldron, his envy impossible to conceal. A supreme innate treasure! There were only a handful in the entire prehistoric world, and yet this junior possessed one.

However, Chen Qing's methods went far beyond that. With a flick of his wrist, he took out the Purple Lightning Hammer, its surface crackling with lightning and coiled with electric snakes.

Immediately afterwards, two divine lamps flew out from his sleeves and hovered beside him. They were the Eight Scenery Palace Lamp and the Jade Void Glazed Lamp, one with blazing purple flames and the other with dazzling golden light.

Four top-grade innate spiritual treasures and one innate supreme treasure surrounded Chen Qing, their precious light intertwining, creating an astonishing aura.

Zhunti was no longer calm.

Good heavens! One supreme treasure and four top-grade spiritual treasures! Even if his cultivation is a whole realm higher, this fight won't be easy!

The guide's lips twitched slightly. He glanced worriedly at his junior brother, then turned to Laozi and said, "Fellow Daoist Laozi has indeed taken in a good disciple. He's truly generous, even bestowing these supreme treasures upon him."

Laozi smiled calmly and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Jieyin is mistaken. My good-for-nothing disciple's Qiankun Cauldron was his own good fortune, the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern was a gift from me, and the other items were gifts from his two senior uncles."

Of course, he's also quite lucky; he often gains something from his travels. As for how much wealth he actually has, this old Taoist priest isn't entirely sure.

Jieyin's face darkened, and he turned his head away, instantly losing the will to speak.

A good-for-nothing apprentice?

Could you please stop that smug smile from your lips before saying that?

Looking at Zhunti's unpredictable expression, Chen Qing chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, please forgive me. This is truly my first time sparring with an expert like you, and I don't have much confidence. I can only bring a few barely usable spiritual treasures to make up the numbers."

He spoke modestly, but deliberately took out the magical treasures one by one, just to show Zhunti that Chen Qing had many magical treasures, though he didn't have many other things.

You think you're so powerful? I'll just use my magical treasures to bully you, so what? If you're so capable, bring out more magical treasures than I do.

Upon hearing this, Zhunti's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he remained silent, head bowed.

He secretly vowed to himself: I'll show you later that strength can't be matched by just a few magical treasures!

As he thought about it, his eyes swept over the magical treasures on Chen Qing's body with burning desire. He was already planning how to snatch two of them from this kid later—especially the Qiankun Cauldron.

Chen Qing looked at Zhunti's eyes and sneered inwardly.

With a thought, a star flew out from his body; it was a microscopic incarnation.

The incarnation grew taller with the wind, instantly transforming into another Chen Qing. He reached out and snatched the Purple Lightning Hammer, carrying with him a sky full of lightning, and charged towards Zhunti.

The Purple Lightning Hammer transformed into a bolt of purple lightning in his hand, its surface crackling with electricity and thunderous roar, carrying an aura of annihilation as it slammed down upon Zhunti.

A powerful aura of killing intent swept over him, and Zhunti felt a chill run down his spine, daring not to be careless. He raised the Seven Treasures Tree and hurled it fiercely at the figure in front of him.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the two attacks collided. Lightning and precious radiance scattered, and powerful shockwaves spread in all directions, blasting away the surrounding mountains and rivers.

Zhunti swayed slightly, but remained firmly in place. After all, his cultivation was profound, and although Chen Qing's attack was fierce, it was still no match for him.

Chen Qing was not disappointed when his attack missed.

With another thought, three more star-like points flew out from his body, transforming into three clones. Each clone took a spiritual treasure and charged towards Zhunti.

The two avatars each held a divine lamp, urging the flames within—the Heaven-Burning Purple Flame of the Eight Trigrams Palace Lamp transformed into a purple sea of ​​fire, while the Myriad Spirits Ancient Blaze of the Jade Void Glazed Lamp transformed into golden flames. The two flames intertwined, carrying the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, sweeping towards Zhunti. Within the flames, the laws of the Great Dao faintly flowed, distorting and deforming the void itself.

Another clone held an apricot-yellow flag, with ten thousand golden flowers protecting the four of them. At the same time, he used a large space technique, waving his hands repeatedly, and spatial blades condensed from the void, carrying sharp cutting power, and slashed towards Zhunti.

The blade of space contained his understanding of the Great Dao of Space. It was incredibly sharp, leaving deep cracks in the void wherever it passed, cracks that were difficult to heal for a long time.

Four clones, four spiritual treasures, attacked simultaneously from different directions. Thunder, fire, and space—three great principles intertwined, their power earth-shattering.

Zhunti's expression hardened, and he dared not hold back any longer.

With a roar, he unleashed a burst of golden light, revealing a sixteen-foot-tall golden body. The body was entirely golden, with a solemn and dignified appearance, and a faint Buddhist light emanated from behind his head, instantly increasing his aura by a great deal.

Zhunti wielded the Seven Treasures Tree, and seven-colored light swept out, carrying his unique path of salvation, brushing away the incoming flames, lightning, and spatial blades one by one.

The Seven Treasures Tree truly lives up to its reputation as a supreme treasure of the West, sweeping away all things without exception. Those attacks, before its precious light, melted away like snow meeting the sun.

However, Chen Qing's attacks were relentless, and his four avatars coordinated perfectly, launching wave after wave of attacks.

Although Zhunti was managing to cope, he gradually began to feel the strain. It wasn't that his cultivation was insufficient, but rather that his opponent possessed far too many spiritual treasures. Each one was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and every attack required him to go all out to deal with it; the slightest carelessness could result in a loss.

What puzzled him even more was that, logically speaking, Chen Qing was merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal, not even having perfected a single law, and his understanding of the Great Dao was far inferior to his own, a Quasi-Saint. Both the quality and quantity of his magical power should have been far inferior to his own. Yet this kid possessed another kind of power, though slightly inferior in quality, it wasn't by much.

Zhunti was unaware that it was the power of the world that Chen Qing had created within his body using the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Universe Ruler.

Although a Quasi-Saint has perfected one of the Laws, his magical power has undergone a qualitative change under the blessing of his own Great Dao, far surpassing that of an ordinary Great Luo Immortal. However, Chen Qing's world power is equally profound and extraordinary, and in terms of foundation, it is not much inferior to the magical power of a Quasi-Saint.
