Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 3 The Queen Mother of the West and Hongjun Dividing the Treasure

"hateful!"

Di Jun and Tai Yi watched with envy, cursing inwardly.

Hongjun dared not delay any longer and quickly bestowed titles upon the Queen Mother of the West to avoid being interrupted by the King Duke of the East.

"Queen Mother of the West, you are the manifestation of the wondrous essence of the Western Flower, belonging to the innate Yin energy. I hereby appoint you as the head of all female immortals, in charge of all female immortals under heaven."

"I...I'll take charge of all the female immortals in the world?"

A look of surprise and bewilderment flashed across the Queen Mother of the West's exquisite face; she clearly hadn't expected Hongjun to bestow such a title upon her.

After all, she wasn't the only female immortal who came to Zixiao Palace. In particular, Nuwa, who snatched the futon, was a disciple of Hongjun, so her status was extraordinary.

Moreover, there are also the goddesses Xi and Changxi.

Of course, she wasn't stupid, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.

"The Queen Mother of the West will humbly obey her teacher's instructions!"

She naturally wouldn't dare to be like the Eastern King Duke, demanding both a title and a magical treasure.

She couldn't afford to provoke Hongjun's wrath.

Fortunately, the predecessors planted the trees so that the successors could enjoy the shade.

"This is the Western Plain Cloud Banner. It is destined for you. Take it."

Without saying a word, Hongjun took out a black banner and presented it to the Queen Mother of the West.

Since the Eastern King Duke, the head of all male immortals, has bestowed treasures upon her, surely he cannot treat the Western Queen Mother, the head of all female immortals, unfairly?

That would be favoritism!

"Thank you, Teacher, for this wonderful gift!"

The Queen Mother of the West was overjoyed.

She was already overjoyed to have unexpectedly acquired the title of the leader of the female immortals, but she never expected to receive a spiritual treasure as well.

This is truly a double celebration!

She tucked the black banner into her bosom, then looked at the Eastern King with a grateful expression.

"Thanks to the Emperor, otherwise, I would not have had the chance to possess this magical treasure."

"???"

Hongjun seemed to sense the Queen Mother of the West's thoughts, and his face was full of questions.

This magical treasure was genuinely bestowed upon the Queen Mother of the West by him. Why is the Queen Mother of the West not grateful to him, but instead grateful to the King Duke of the East?

Outrageous!

"Is this the Queen Mother of the West?"

The Eastern King Duke also noticed the Western Queen Mother's goodwill and returned a smile.

At the same time, he glanced at the female immortal leader who was his partner.

She was adorned in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, exuding a noble and graceful air; she was a born empress!

Perhaps because she had only recently taken human form, she didn't have the stereotypical image of the Queen Mother; instead, she possessed a youthful vivacity.

As expected of a top goddess in the primordial world, even the Eastern King Duke couldn't help but be moved by her.

"The original owner was truly a useless piece of trash! After partnering with her for so many years, she still couldn't win over the Queen Mother of the West. It seems I, the Emperor, will have to step in!"

The Eastern King secretly made a decision in his heart.

He not only wants to steal the limelight from Di Jun and Tai Yi, but also wants to complete the Heavenly Marriage first!

When the time comes, with the husband and wife working together, will they still be able to secure their position as the ruler of the Celestial Court?

"hateful!"

"This Dongwanggong, who usually keeps a low profile, has actually been favored by the Dao Ancestor. He's incredibly lucky!"

The other powerful figures were envious when they saw Hongjun bestowing treasures upon them one after another.

There's no way around it, everyone's short of spiritual treasures!

Moreover, they naturally noticed the looks in the eyes of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother. These two, one the leader of male immortals and the other the leader of female immortals, seemed to be planning to become Daoist partners!

It's as if the Eastern King Duke has taken all the good things in the world overnight!

How could they possibly tolerate this?

The first to be unable to tolerate it were Jieyin and Zhunti.

The West is inherently impoverished, which has fostered their shamelessness. Now, they see that even a marginal figure like the Eastern King Duke can receive treasures, while they, the disciples of the Dao Ancestor, receive none. This is completely unreasonable!

So, with red eyes, the two of them began to feign pitifulness.

"Please, teacher, understand that our strength is equally weak, and we have no magical treasures to protect us. Please bestow one upon us!"

Then Jieyin and Zhunti began to cry again, saying that their Western Continent was pitiful and that they had been defeated by Hongjun and Luohou during the battle between the Dao and the Demons. Their tone seemed to be pleading, but there was a hint of coercion in it.

Their prayer mats were originally obtained through crying, and now, for the sake of Lingbao, they don't mind being shameless one more time.

Sanqing, Dijun, and the others also realized what was happening and began to plead.

"Please, Master, see the truth!"

"Please, teacher, see the truth!"

Seeing this, the other powerful beings followed suit, asking Hongjun to bestow treasures upon them.

When Hongjun preached, he mentioned that the method of severing the three corpses requires the innate spiritual treasure to entrust the three corpses.

The stronger the spiritual treasure, the stronger the three corpses that are severed.

This is related to their future strength, so even if they have to go all out and be shameless, they still want to obtain a primordial spiritual treasure.

"..."

Hongjun was truly frustrated this time.

Although he did intend to distribute the treasure at Treasure Sharing Cliff, now was not the time.

Now, however, his plans have been completely disrupted!

This feeling of being out of control was something he had never experienced since becoming a saint.

And all of this was caused by the Eastern King Duke!

"This Lord Dongwang was originally gentle and kind, how come he seems to have changed completely in an instant? Could there be something fishy going on behind this?"

Hongjun's eyes were icy cold.

But the next second, his expression changed.

In his Heavenly Eye, the nearly depleted fortune of the Eastern King Duke suddenly gained four golden rays, which continuously flowed into his body.

This golden aura had no origin and no source, so much so that even Hongjun, the number one saint of the Heavenly Dao, couldn't help but be greatly surprised.

This Eastern King Duke, he seems to not understand!

With a thought, he secretly manipulated the Creation Jade Disc in the void, deducing the fate of the Eastern King Duke.

However, the Jade Disc of Creation, which usually runs incredibly smoothly, is now experiencing lag.

It's like the computer has frozen.

"What exactly is this golden aura of fortune? Even the Jade Disc of Creation cannot deduce it!"

Hongjun frowned slightly and made a note of the matter.

Those four golden energies were naturally the feedback from Ye Hei and the other three after they cultivated the "Eastern Emperor's Visualization Method".

At this moment, the Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother were chatting happily, and the two developed feelings for each other, exchanging glances.

Seeing this, Hongjun felt even more depressed.

He took a deep breath to suppress his frustration.

"Very well, now that you have joined my sect, I shall bestow upon you spiritual treasures."

Hongjun's expression returned to its cold indifference as he glanced indifferently at Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others.

"Taiqing, this treasure is named the Taiji Diagram, and I hereby bestow it upon you!"

"Primordial Beginning, this treasure is named the Pangu Banner, and I bestow it upon you!"

"Tongtian, this treasure is named the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and I hereby bestow it upon you!"

"Nuwa, this treasure is named the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the Red Embroidered Ball; I hereby bestow it upon you!"

"Guide..."

With a single breath, Hongjun bestowed upon his six disciples top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

"Thank you so much, Master, for bestowing this treasure!"

The six people were naturally overjoyed.

Hongjun's expression finally softened considerably. He looked at the other powerful innate beings with burning gazes, and with a slight wave of his hand, the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened.

"I have set up a treasure-gathering cliff outside the palace. Each of you may go and retrieve the treasure according to your own destiny."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, the assembled experts exchanged bewildered glances.

Although they longed to obtain innate spiritual treasures, they were not fools; they feared that this was a test set up by Hongjun.

What if you leave Zixiao Palace and can't get back in?

Only Dongwanggong's eyes lit up, and he respectfully bowed to Hongjun.

"Teacher, you are truly virtuous. I am deeply grateful to you for bestowing this opportunity upon me!"

Before he finished speaking, the Eastern King had already dashed out of the Purple Cloud Palace.

At the same time, he did not forget the Queen Mother of the West, and secretly transmitted his voice:

"Fellow Daoist, come quickly! This is an unprecedented opportunity!"

"this……"

The Queen Mother of the West hesitated.

But soon, her gaze hardened.

She chose to believe in the Eastern King Duke!

"Disciple thanks Master for the share of treasure!"

The Queen Mother of the West also bowed in greeting, and then rushed out of the Purple Cloud Palace right behind her.

"not good!"

Everyone's expression changed, and they all realized that Dong Wanggong's reaction meant that the treasure distribution was real, but the test was fake!

They all stood up, bowed to Hongjun, and rushed out of Zixiao Palace.

Unfortunately, they were too late!

At this moment, the two men, Dongwanggong and his companion, were holding the precious banners. As the wind swirled and the clouds unfurled, countless rays of light were drawn into the banners.

"Thief!"

"hateful!"

The Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, Taiyi, and others arrived at the same time. They disregarded everything else and used their respective methods to fight with all their might to seize the spiritual treasure.
