Primordial Era: I am Donghua, this Heavenly Emperor is too majestic.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler.

This is a treasure born from the accumulated merit of creation combined with the primordial energy.

It contains the Great Dao of Space, and killing people does not incur any karmic consequences.

This item is one of only two acquired treasures of merit in the primordial world; the other is Lao Tzu's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

However, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda is mainly for defense, while the Primordial Measuring Ruler is mainly for offense.

If we only consider the power of killing, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler is inferior to the Pangu Banner and the Chaos Bell.

However, because it possesses unique spatial attributes, can freely traverse the vast universe and pierce through time and space, and is protected by the aura of profound merit, it is by no means inferior to any innate treasure when compared in all aspects.

Donghua originally thought that if he established the Celestial Court in the future, he would inevitably have to confront Dijun and Taiyi.

What to do with the Chaos Bell, the innate treasure in Taiyi's possession, was a headache, but now that he has this item, the problem is naturally solved.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler may not be able to defeat your Chaos Bell, but it can withstand pressure without any problem.

It should be noted that in the original mythology, Taiyi's cultivation level was not as high as Dijun's, nor even as high as Styx's, and he was not much stronger than Zhenyuanzi or Kunpeng.

But why is he still revered as the number one person below the saint? It's because he benefits from the Chaos Bell in his possession.

Now that Donghua Hongmeng Measuring Ruler has been developed, wouldn't Taiyi be rendered useless?

"Merit, the most precious treasure of merit?"

Seeing that Donghua had just arrived at Buzhou Mountain and had already acquired a treasure of great merit, Jin Hongshi and Yun Zhongjun were completely stunned.

Is this the legendary great fortune?

As fellow innate deities, Donghua surpasses them in both background and opportunity, something truly enviable.

Xuan Nu was also so shocked that her mouth opened slightly, but she didn't realize it.

The Queen Mother of the West gracefully arrived at Donghua's side, smiling sweetly, "Congratulations, brother, on acquiring such a precious treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua laughed heartily, stored the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler into his body, and said in high spirits, "This Buzhou Mountain is indeed full of great opportunities and great fortune! Why don't we split into two groups and each of us find our own destiny?"

"That's excellent!"

Upon hearing this, all of them were somewhat tempted.

Immediately, Donghua, Xiwangmu, and Xuannv formed one group, while Jin Hongshi and Yunzhongjun formed another. Each group chose a direction on Mount Buzhou and began searching for treasures.

They agreed to meet again at the foot of Mount Buzhou a thousand years later.

Not long after they parted ways, when they were about to reach the halfway point of the mountain, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly stopped.

Her phoenix eyes, clear as water, gazed at a patch of mist in the distance. She parted her red lips slightly and said, "Brother, it seems there is an opportunity for me here."

Upon hearing this, Donghua said, "Oh? Go and take a look."

As the three entered the mist, a golden light suddenly flew over and automatically fell into the hands of the Queen Mother of the West.

It was a precious pestle about three inches, six fen, and nine li long.

Gilded with precious jade, its emerald shadows shimmering in the mist.

The gemstone contains starlight, cloud patterns swirl around the pestle, and five-colored celestial light flows, emitting bursts of auspicious celestial mist.

This pestle contains thirty-six restrictions and is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. With a gentle swing, golden light pierces the sky.

Upon seeing this, Donghua suddenly had a strange thought: "Could it be the pestle the Jade Rabbit uses to pound medicine?"

But then I remembered the myth of Chang'e flying to the moon, which seems to have some connection with the Queen Mother of the West.

Following the Queen Mother of the West, the Mysterious Woman also reaped considerable rewards, finding two innate magical treasures:

The Heavenly Profound Sword and the Six Waves Heavenly Fire Banner.

Both of these are mid-grade innate spiritual treasures with considerable power, and they both align with the Dao of Weaponry and Fire cultivated by the Mystic Maiden, making them even more powerful in her hands.

Donghua couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly blessed Buzhou Mountain was.

It even gave him the feeling that "anyone who comes to Buzhou Mountain will not leave without obtaining one or two treasures."

They walked and stopped frequently, searching for various treasures along the way.

When the three arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, Donghua and Xiwangmu felt a simultaneous connection.

The group arrived at a small valley, where they saw a gourd vine growing crookedly like a gecko at the foot of the cliff, with sparse leaves.

Seven gourds of different colors, each shimmering with a spiritual light, hung from the vine.

It was none other than the innate gourd vine, one of the ten innate spiritual roots.

This spiritual root is very famous. The seven gourds that grow on it are seven natural magical treasure embryos. With a little refinement, they can yield seven precious treasures.

However, the gourds were not yet ripe, and there were more than just the three of them in the valley.

Not far away, three figures—an old man, a young man, and a middle-aged man—stood quietly with their eyes closed; they were none other than the Three Pure Ones.

On the other side were Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun.

Further away, a man and a woman stood, their bodies radiating an aura of creation; they were none other than Fuxi and Nuwa, the brother and sister.

After Donghua and the other two arrived, the Three Pure Ones remained motionless.

Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Nuwa, and Fuxi nodded slightly, acknowledging the greeting.

At that moment, two more golden lights suddenly appeared from afar, transforming into rainbows and arriving in the valley in the blink of an eye. They landed and transformed into the forms of Di Jun and Tai Yi.

"Another person has arrived?"

This was the sentiment of almost everyone present.

Even the Three Pure Ones couldn't help but open their eyes, their expressions becoming somewhat strange.

There are only seven gourds on this gourd vine, but look at this valley, it's practically teeming with powerful cultivators!

When Di Jun and Tai Yi saw the gourd vine, they were overjoyed.

His gaze swept over the crowd, pausing slightly when he saw Donghua, but he didn't say anything and just waited.

So...

In this somewhat eerie atmosphere, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and the gourds finally matured one after another.

Laozi stepped forward and pointed to the first gourd, saying, "I am Taiqing Laozi. This gourd is destined to be mine."

As soon as he finished speaking, the purple-gold gourd immediately fell down and flew into Laozi's hand automatically.

This gourd was later refined into a magical artifact based on the law of cause and effect, named the Purple-Gold Red Gourd, which was used to hold elixirs. During the Journey to the West, it was stolen by Golden Horn and Silver Horn and taken to the mortal realm, causing the Monkey King great harm.

Immediately afterwards, Yuanshi said with an air of learning, "I am Yuqing Yuanshi, and this gourd is destined to be mine."

The green gourd fell and flew into Yuanshi's hand.

This gourd was refined by Yuanshi Tianzun into a Hunyuan Treasure Box, capable of nurturing all the treasures of the world. Furthermore, it killed Bixiao, one of the Three Immortals of the Clouds, during the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

Tongtian followed closely in his two elder brothers' footsteps and said, "I am Tongtian of Shangqing, and it is my destiny to receive this opportunity."

After he finished speaking, a blue-gold gourd flew into his hand.

That is, the water and fire gourd into which he later refined the essence of two Qilin.

Following the Three Pure Ones, Hongyun also obtained a crimson gourd.
