Primordial Era: The Sun Emperor

The preaching has continued for a full nine thousand years.

Hongjun spoke of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Positions, and the Heavenly Laws, progressing step by step in a way that was both profound and easy to understand.

The gods inside the hall reaped great rewards, with many breaking through their bottlenecks on the spot and experiencing a surge in their aura.

Nine thousand years later, Hongjun fell silent.

"The third sermon will take place after the Hundred Dollar Meeting. At that time, I will distribute treasures, and those who are destined will receive them."

These words caused an uproar in the hall.

Dividing the Treasures—The Dao Ancestor is about to divide the treasures!

A burning light ignited in everyone's eyes.

The treasure in the hands of the Dao Ancestor must be at least at the level of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure!

Taiyi's expression was calm, his golden eyes undisturbed.

He possesses the Chaos Bell, the Hetu Luoshu, the Sun Star, and the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Although Hongjun's treasures were wonderful, he did not covet them.

"Let's go."

Taiyi stood up, and led the two beauties, Ziwei and Taiyin, out of Zixiao Palace.

Behind him, the gods were still discussing the distribution of the treasure, while he had already led the gods of Heaven on the road back to Buzhou Mountain.

In the chaos, a golden-white light pierced the darkness, like a moving sun.

In the primordial world, innate spiritual treasures have owners, often appearing alongside innate deities, and always in response to destiny.

Only a very few treasures have been conceived to this day and have yet to emerge.

After the second sermon, Hongjun looked at his six disciples sitting down and said, "You should all go back now. For the rest of the days, I will devote myself to comprehending the Dao of Heaven."

Next, he will strive to align himself with the Way of Heaven.

I've already taught everything I needed to, so there's not much point in continuing.

The disciples bowed deeply, reluctant to part, and all bid farewell.

It is truly a great blessing to be able to listen to the great Dao up close today.

Even the faces of Lianyin and Zhunti no longer showed signs of suffering.

However, he couldn't help feeling resentful, especially since Hongjun had given all the precious treasures to the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.

The two brothers, however, didn't get a single penny; they were treated like outsiders.

If it were just the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, these two innate treasures, that were given to the Three Pure Ones, that would be fine. It would be reasonable for the true Pangu to enjoy the treasures created by creation.

However, the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the array diagram, the Qiankun Cauldron, the Red Embroidered Ball, and other such items were all given to the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, which made the two of them envious.

Hongjun didn't care about any of this.

In his eyes, the two Western Saints would betray the Xuanmen sect sooner or later.

This is the general trend of Heaven. After the rise of the Xuanmen sect, it will also enter a period of decline, at which time the West will rise.

After the six people left the palace gate and exchanged greetings, Jieyin and Zhunti left directly.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality smiled slightly and said gently to Nuwa, "Junior Sister, these two children harbor resentment and will surely rebel against the Xuanmen in the future. We, fellow disciples, must unite to prevent the West from becoming too powerful."

Nuwa's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, and she nodded: "What Senior Brother says is absolutely right. The West is barren, yet Jieyin and Zhunti were able to cultivate to their current level in such a harsh environment; their willpower and perseverance should not be underestimated."

Yuanshi Tianzun sneered, "Great talents? They're nothing but two opportunists. Do they even deserve to be called disciples of the Xuanmen alongside us?"

Lingbao Tianzun also looked down on such a shameless person, and said indifferently, "Eldest brother is right, we should be careful. There's no point in saying more now, let's go back to Kunlun."

The Three Pure Ones bid farewell to Nuwa, leaped up, and transformed into three streams of light, heading towards the Kunlun Mountains.

The Kunlun Mountains stretch across the vast western wilderness, extending for millions of miles.

This mountain was formed from the spine of Pangu, and is rich in spiritual energy. It has countless blessed lands and caves, and has been a place where innate deities were conceived since ancient times.

After the creation of the world, countless powerful primordial deities were born from this mountain range, some heading east, some west, some entering the sea, and some going into seclusion.

Today, the once bustling Kunlun Mountain has become much quieter.

Those innate deities who shared the same lineage, some perished in the Dragon-Han Calamity, some went into seclusion, and some traveled far away.

Nowadays, very few people still live on this mountain.

When the Three Pure Ones first entered the primordial world, they originally intended to return to the Kunlun Daoist temple.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Elder brother, what's wrong? Do you sense that a spiritual treasure is about to appear?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. When he opened them, a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "I suddenly feel a stirring in my heart, as if a spiritual treasure is about to be born, and we are destined to meet it."

Lingbao Tianzun also said, "I have the same feeling. Mount Buzhou."

The three Pure Ones exchanged a glance, and without prior arrangement, they took to the air and flew towards Mount Buzhou.

Mount Buzhou, formed from the spine of Pangu, stands majestically as a primordial pillar of heaven.

The Heavenly Court is located atop this mountain, bathed in golden light, its fortune soaring like a rainbow.

However, Taiyi was not in the Heavenly Court at this moment.

He had already sensed the arrival of that magical treasure, and he was also destined to have it.

The gourd vine, one of the ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world, is rooted in a secluded valley on the mountainside of Buzhou Mountain.

This vine is unique in that it bears seven gourds, each of which is a natural treasure containing different powers.

Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back in front of the gourd vine, his golden eyes fixed on the seven unripe gourds on the vine.

Seven gourds, seven colors—purple, gold, red, green, white, yellow, and black.

They hung on the vines, swaying gently, each radiating its own unique light.

The dark gourd at the very top was shrouded in a faint aura of chaos, clearly indicating its extraordinary nature.

"It'll be soon," Taiichi murmured.

He sensed it even before the gourd vines matured.

They wait for the gourd to ripen, then take what they need.

Treasures possess a spirit, and opportunities will naturally arise.

He doesn't need it all, but he won't give it to those who don't deserve it.

Just then, a gentle figure descended from the sky.

Nuwa was dressed in a five-colored palace gown, with a graceful figure and an aura of creation surrounding her.

She landed in front of the gourd vine, saw Taiyi, was slightly taken aback, then smiled and bowed: "The Heavenly Emperor is here, it is Nuwa who is late."

Taiyi returned the greeting with a cupped hand and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. This vine grew on Mount Buzhou and was born of heaven and earth. Since you have come, it is fate."

Nuwa nodded, her gaze falling on the seven gourds on the vine, a hint of fondness flashing in her eyes: "Excellent spiritual roots. Each of these seven gourds is extraordinary. Especially the black gourd on top, which is surrounded by chaotic energy; it is likely the embryo of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

Taiyi smiled slightly, about to speak, when he sensed three auras rapidly approaching.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning, and the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure descended into the secluded valley and greeted Taiyi and Nuwa with clasped hands.

"Heavenly Emperor, Junior Sister, so you are here too," said the Moral Celestial Venerable with a smile.

Taiyi nodded slightly: "The three of you have arrived at the perfect time. This gourd vine is about to ripen, and the presence of the three of you suggests that you are destined to meet us."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's gaze swept over the gourd on the vine, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Although he was tempted, he did not lose his composure, since Taiyi was there and he could not take it by force.

What's more, there are seven gourds on it, enough to divide among them.
