Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

Chapter 63 Hongjun bestows treasures on the battlefield; the poor student has many magical treasures.

"This disciple humbly begs the Master to bestow upon me this treasure."

Taiqing said this respectfully, his old face remaining completely calm.

At this moment, his two younger brothers, Yuqing and Shangqing, looked at his back with surprise and admiration in their eyes.

He couldn't help but secretly praise, "My elder brother truly lives up to his name!"

See, it still comes down to our eldest brother!

Taiqing's last-minute request for a treasure caused Zhen Yuanzi, who was watching from the sidelines, to raise a silent, cold smile.

This caused Hongjun, the teacher of Taiqing, to twitch his wrinkled dough involuntarily!

No better than not knowing, one is scared.

Look at the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Their teacher just shouted, and they didn't even say a word of nonsense or ask for any magic weapons. The twelve of them responded domineeringly and stood up in unison!

Then look at the Three Pure Ones he collected. There were only three of them. Not only did they not respond at the same time, but they also asked for magic weapons first!

As fellow descendants of Pangu, this comparison of their actions left Hongjun somewhat embarrassed and troubled. "What I gave you willingly is truly yours!"

"Don't you understand the principle that you can't ask for something I didn't offer?"

"Could it be that I, Hongjun, could not have foreseen that without powerful magic weapons, your strength would be inferior to that of the Twelve Ancestral Witches?"

That's enough—this humble Taoist is tired.

The reason why Hongjun proposed that the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches fight to determine the ownership of the Creation Lotus was due to his profound calculations.

He saw it clearly: of the twelve Ancestral Witches, only Houtu had cultivated a primordial spirit.

The other ancestral witches all lacked primordial spirits, so no matter how many magical treasures Zhen Yuanzi possessed, they were useless.

The Ancestral Witches could only rely on their physical bodies to fight the Three Pure Ones. Even though their physical bodies were comparable to ordinary spiritual treasures, they were definitely not comparable to top-grade innate spiritual treasures or innate supreme treasures!

Therefore, as long as Zhen Yuanzi agrees and the Great Dao is just, he can temporarily give his magic weapon to the Three Pure Ones, and this battle will undoubtedly be won!

But now—

The plan had barely been conceived, and before he could even triumphantly put it into practice, it was brought up by his disciple!

Is it the same for a disciple to ask for something and for a teacher to give it to him voluntarily?

Different!

Hongjun, who failed to put on a show and instead lost face, is now completely dumbfounded!

Seeing that the teacher remained silent and did not bestow any treasure upon him.

With a face ashen, Taiqing could only continue to bow and say, "Teacher, the physical bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches are all as powerful as Lingbao."

"Although I possess the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda for protection, I lack any offensive magical treasures. Furthermore, my second and third brothers also lack any spiritual treasures. Without any treasures, this battle will be—"

"That's enough!"

Although Taiqing's voice was not loud, how could it not be heard by others here?

Hongjun couldn't help but shout sharply, interrupting Taiqing's words.

He had no offensive magic weapons, and his two younger brothers had no protective spiritual treasures.

How could Hongjun not understand the meaning of these words?

He wants the Pangu Banner!

Taiqing's little scheme was made no attempt to hide; it was laid bare right there.

His two younger brothers did not complain at all.

They are brothers, one family. Whoever gets the Pangu Banner is not the one who gets it.

But Hongjun didn't think so at all!

Zhen Yuanzi's disciples, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, were of the same lineage, but his disciple, the Three Pure Ones, was too scheming.

If Taiqing is not kept in check, the other two disciples will not only be taken advantage of by Taiqing, but their cultivation will also be far behind. They may not even be able to defeat any of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

Therefore, after shouting sharply, Hongjun suddenly waved his sleeve.

He had already delivered the innate treasure, the Pangu Banner, to his disciple Yuqing!

"My disciple Yuanshi, I am temporarily lending you this treasure, hoping that you will prove its formidable reputation as the most lethal weapon in the upcoming battle."

""

"This disciple thanks you, Master!" Yuqing Yuanshi couldn't hide his joy and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

Taiqing remained silent, his expression unchanged.

It seemed that they had no objection whatsoever to what their teacher, Hongjun, had done.

But he felt a great sense of loss, realizing that the ownership of this treasure was no longer in his hands!

"Although this treasure is only temporarily borrowed, its future ownership has been determined at this moment!"

"My second brother is truly blessed!"

After handing the Pangu Banner to Yuqing, Hongjun revealed two more spiritual treasures in his palm!

One of them is the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner.

The second item is a cliff treasure, which should be called the Treasure Dividing Cliff.

This treasure was forged by Hongjun from the cliff of a celestial mountain; it is an extraordinary, top-grade acquired spiritual treasure!

It can remain intact in chaos and store many magical treasures, even top-grade spiritual treasures, thus proving that it not only has the ability to store and nurture treasures, but also the power to collect them!

Hongjun even brought out this treasure, showing that he really spared no expense for this battle.

If he hadn't had time to negotiate with the Ancestral Dragon, the number and quality of the magical treasures he possessed would have been even greater.

In the eager anticipation of Taiqing and Shangqing, the two magical treasures appeared suddenly before Shangqing. "My disciple Tongtian, I bestow these two magical treasures upon you for your future protection."

It's a gift! Not a loan!

Upon hearing this, Shangqing Tongtian quickly accepted the gift with both hands, overjoyed and bowing in gratitude: "Disciple thanks Master for bestowing this treasure!"

Of the three magical treasures, one was lent and the other given away. Hongjun's actions left Taiqing with a withered expression.

Yuqing felt a complex emotion he had never experienced before. Why did his teacher bestow the magic weapon upon his third brother?

Why am I borrowing this treasure? Teacher—you're showing favoritism!

After seeing that his two younger brothers had both obtained magical treasures, Taiqing Daoxin began to feel a sense of anticipation.

He is the one with the highest cultivation among the Three Pure Ones, and he also possesses a treasure born with him!

The outcome of this battle does not lie with his younger brother, but with him. So what kind of magic weapon will the teacher bestow upon him?

Hongjun pondered for a moment, then the Hunyuan whisk appeared in his palm. "My disciple Taiqing, this treasure is my life-bound treasure. Although it is not a supreme treasure, it still has the power of a top-grade spiritual treasure. I will lend it to you for now."

"Thank you, teacher."

Taiqing, his face as still as a withered tree, accepted the Hunyuan whisk with both hands, expressing his gratitude and respect.

It's not a gift, it's a loan! And it's certainly not a divine decree of creation!

Why doesn't my teacher lend me the Jade Disc of Creation?

Hongjun would naturally and certainly not lend the Creation Jade Disc to his disciples.

The Jade Disc of Creation is a treasure for enlightenment, not for combat. Even the Three Pure Ones, in their fragmented state, couldn't unleash the full power of a top-grade spiritual treasure.

Of course, this reason is nothing special.

Most importantly, the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation is the treasure that he used to sever his three corpses; it must not be lost!

Under the principle of justice, even he cannot interfere.

If the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation were lent to Taiqing, and something unexpected happened during this battle, he would have nowhere to turn to for help.

Even so, Hongjun, who had lent the magic weapon, was full of confidence.

With just one disciple of Taiqing, he was able to stop the strongest Ancestral Witch, Houtu; the other Ancestral Witches were nothing to fear.

Disciple Yuqing is capable of defeating them all with the Pangu Banner!

Not to mention, there's also the disciple Shangqing!

The confident Hongjun, seeing that Zhen Yuanzi remained unmoved and simply watched the spectacle with longing, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Then he suddenly understood.

Zhen Yuanzi didn't not want to move, but he couldn't move anything.

Since the Ancestral Witch has no primordial spirit, he cannot use magic weapons and can only rely on his physical body. Even if he bestows a magic weapon upon him, it will be useless!

At that moment, Hongjun's old face broke into a smug smile. "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you're not making any arrangements? Are you really that confident in your disciples?"

Zhen Yuanzi stood with one hand behind his back, showing no resistance to Hongjun's provocation, and calmly said, "A poor student has many magical treasures."

"You—"

These words almost ignited Hongjun's anger.

He hesitated for a long time, but couldn't come up with any rebuttal.

In terms of the number of magical treasures, he indeed had far more than Zhen Yuanzi; he alone possessed dozens of fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation.

Hongjun suppressed his anger, putting his right arm behind his back. "In that case, I'd like to see whose disciple is truly inferior!"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled disdainfully, then said to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, "The opponent is already there, what are you waiting for?"
