Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

Just as the powerful figures behind were considering how to obtain the remaining Primordial Purple Qi, a voice rang out.

"Dao Ancestor, my West is inherently barren. If there are no saints in the West, how can the two of us revive the Western world? Do you think my Primordial World only needs half of its territory?"

We beseech the Dao Ancestor to grant us the opportunity to become saints, to give us two a chance, and to give the beings of the West a chance.

It was that same Zhunti who refused to eat noodles again. Hearing this voice, most of the worldly people felt a bit disdain.

Zhunti cried and shouted, and Jieyin frowned a little. But with the opportunity to become a saint in front of him, Jieyin looked at Hongjun's troubled expression, hardened his heart, and shouted as well.

"Dao Ancestor, my junior brother is right. Are we, the beings of the West, destined to live a life of hardship? Heaven is virtuous; we beg the sage to bestow upon us the Primordial Purple Qi."

Because of Rahu's self-destruction, Hongjun owed the West a debt of karma. The remaining two strands of Primordial Purple Qi originally belonged to Jieyin and Zhunti.

But now, their behavior was so despicable that Hongjun almost wanted to replace them. He glanced around the Zixiao Palace and found that there were only these two powerful figures from the West.

"Sigh~ Well then, since that's the case, you two will become my nominal disciples."

With a sigh, Hongjun closed his eyes and flung out two streams of primordial purple energy.

"On behalf of the beings of the West, I thank the Dao Ancestor."

Jieyin and Zhunti felt that they were closer to the Heavenly Dao, and were overjoyed. They quickly expressed their gratitude.

Only one wisp of Primordial Purple Qi remained. At this moment, all the top experts were staring intently at the wisp of purple Qi beside Hongjun, which was emanating Daoist charm.

Hongjun was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and he took a special look at Kunpeng and Hongyun.

The two Western beings, as sages of the Heavenly Dao, repaired the earth's veins, enough to make the earth's channels unable to recover. However, the primordial beings will continue to multiply. After the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the War of the Lich King was Hongjun's second move to suppress the human way.

He needs to focus on achieving Dao integration for several subsequent eons, so he can't act directly and can only plan behind the scenes.

In Hongjun's mind, given the nature of a naturally powerful being, most people would remain indifferent to matters that didn't concern them. However, Hongyun's easygoing nature was an exception.

In contrast to Hongyun, Kunpeng was the most narrow-minded among the many innate great beings. Therefore, Hongjun deliberately favored Yuanshi when Yuanshi knocked Kunpeng down, and also gave Hongyun a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, all to provoke Kunpeng and use him as a tool to kill.

Now, everything is proceeding smoothly. Hongjun smiled and looked at Hongyun, saying:

"This last wisp of primordial purple energy, with its profound blessings and extraordinary origins, further demonstrates your virtuous character by yielding your seat. You deserve a sacred position."

Hongyun was just thinking about how to ask Zhenyuanzi for the ginseng fruit when he got back when he heard this and was a little stunned. Zhenyuanzi was disappointed in him and quickly patted him. Hongyun then realized what was happening and quickly bowed to Hongjun.

"Thank you, Daozu."

Hongjun smiled and gave Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi a meaningful look.

"The Primordial Purple Qi in my hands has been exhausted. You need not be discouraged. There is another one that has escaped into the world. Perhaps you will each have your own destiny."

After exchanging pleasantries, Hongjun looked at his disciples again and said:

"Since you are my disciples, I will bestow upon you some magical treasures for protection."

"Moral integrity, I bestow upon you the innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram. This treasure is unparalleled in defense and can also suppress destiny."

"Thank you, Master."

"The Primordial Beginning..."

"Lingbao..."

"Nuwa..."

"Jieyin Zhunti..."

Thus, Daode obtained the Taiji Diagram, Yuanshi obtained the Pangu Banner, and Lingbao obtained the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Formation Diagram, all of which were innate treasures, each with its own unique characteristics.

Nuwa received two innate top-grade spiritual treasures: the Red Embroidered Ball and the Map of Mountains and Rivers. Jieyin received the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, and Zhunti received the Blessed Pestle.

"You should cultivate diligently and become saints as soon as possible, so as not to disappoint my painstaking efforts."

After giving his disciples a few words of instruction, Hongjun turned to the three thousand mortal travelers and said:

"I attained sainthood through enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World is flawed, and I wish to merge with the Dao to complete it. I will not act unless there is an immeasurable calamity. Two people are needed to lead the Primordial World and maintain order."

Dongmu Gong can be considered the head of male immortals, and Xijin Mu can be considered the head of female immortals.

Since my birth, I have collected many treasures in the primordial world, which I stored outside the Purple Cloud Palace and in the Treasure Distribution Cliff. Now that I have merged with the Heavenly Dao, these magical treasures are no longer of use to me. You may collect them yourselves, each according to your own destiny.

Hongjun's figure disappeared along with the sound, and everyone, with different thoughts, headed to the Treasure Sharing Cliff.

Among all the powerful beings, Kunpeng was the fastest, followed closely by Hongyun and Dijun Taiyi.

Upon reaching the Treasure Sharing Cliff, Kunpeng made the first move, grabbing five innate spiritual treasures with a single grab: three low-grade, one mid-grade, and one high-grade. He tried to grab more, but the Treasure Sharing Cliff remained completely still.

It must be a restriction placed by the Dao Ancestor. Kunpeng sighed, but the gains were already considerable, so he stopped and stood aside to watch.

Hongyun was the fastest, but his actions were not as decisive as the other two. He reached out at the same time as Dijun and Taiyi, each possessing five innate spiritual treasures, the same grade as those obtained by Kunpeng.

Xu Qing and the others arrived later and each displayed their unique abilities. In general, apart from the dozen or so treasures obtained by Hongjun's disciples, most of the others obtained around five treasures.

Finally, after all the treasures at the Treasure Distribution Cliff had been distributed, just as everyone was preparing to return to their respective residences, Zhen Yuanzi quietly transmitted his voice to Hongyun, saying that the Treasure Distribution Cliff was also a treasure.

Hongyun suddenly realized what was happening and was about to grab it. Kunpeng had no intention of taking the treasure cliff itself, but he harbored resentment and kept his eyes on Hongyun. When he noticed the unusual movement, he also made his move.

He was a fraction faster and a fraction slower, and in the process, he and Hongyun touched the Treasure Sharing Cliff at the same time, and the two forces began to pull each other apart.

"The River Styx!"

Kunpeng immediately shouted, urging Styx to intervene. Styx had previously acquired two magical treasures from Buzhou Mountain with Kunpeng's help, and now he had no choice but to lend a hand.

The next moment, Yuan Tu A Bi appeared beside the Styx River and slashed at Hong Yun.

Zhen Yuanzi stepped forward, holding the Earth Book in his hand, blocking the Styx River, and the two began to fight.

"Kunpeng is my Heavenly Court's Demon Master, and Styx is my Heavenly Court's Offering. Fellow Daoist Hongyun, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, my apologies."

Di Jun and Tai Yi had already decided in Zixiao Palace that Hong Yun was the only one who did not belong to Hongjun's disciples among those who obtained the Primordial Purple Qi. If the two of them wanted to become saints, killing Hong Yun and seizing the Primordial Purple Qi would be essential.

The two had been struggling to find an opportunity, but at this moment, Kunpeng and Hongyun were fighting, and Kunpeng immediately launched a fierce attack.

Donghuang Taiyi used the Chaos Bell to stabilize the earth, water, fire, and wind to prevent Hongyun from escaping. The Demon Emperor Jun stepped on the Hetu and Luoshu, and the True Fire of the Sun carried the fortune of the Heavenly Court, with boundless power. He bypassed Zhen Yuanzi and was about to kill Hongyun.

Unable to stop Hongyun, and with Kunpeng also holding him back, Hongyun took the full force of the attack, coughing up blood and flying backward. The Treasure Sharing Cliff was then taken into Kunpeng's possession.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He regretted his greed for the treasure cliff. He sent the Earth Book towards the red clouds, but it was no match for Di Jun and Tai Yi's Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng attacked simultaneously, leaving Hong Yun somewhat bewildered. He had dedicated his life to doing good deeds, yet so many people were now trying to kill him.

Hongyun had no time to understand this problem. He was frozen in the Chaos Bell and scorched by the Sun God's fire. In the blink of an eye, his life came to an end.

The next moment, a red cloud appeared, then vanished into the world in the blink of an eye. Primordial purple energy emerged from it, and the Immortal-Slaying Gourd fell from it.
