The Fifth Patriarch's Distribution of Treasures

  "A thousand years have passed, I shall reopen the gates of Zixuan Palace. Those who are destined may enter." Hongjun's voice thundered again, shaking the vast expanse. And so, the true great masters of the Vast Expanse once again put down everything in their hands and rushed at top speed to the 33rd Heaven - Zixuan Palace.

  When Kunpeng arrived at the Zixiao Palace, he found that almost everyone was there. Friendly and waving to people around him, unfortunately, most people kept a distance from Kunpeng with respect, while Zhenyuanzi stared at Kunpeng with a special gaze.

  After everyone took their seats, Hongyuan Laozu reappeared in the Zixiao Palace and began to preach. Kunpeng understood that this was the last time the Daoist patriarch Hongyuan would lecture, so he listened carefully, thinking that if he wanted to attain enlightenment and become a saint, he had to listen attentively.

  At this time, the strength of the two tribes of witches and demons has reached a more astonishing level. Although the demon tribe suffered heavy losses in the last battle between witches and demons, its foundation is still intact. A thousand years is enough for it to recover its vitality. At that time, even saints may find it difficult to resist the two tribes of witches and demons. By then, these saints with holy positions will surely take action against the two tribes of witches and demons.

  "The Patriarch Hongjun said with a smile: 'This is the last time I will preach the Tao, how much you can remember depends on your own fortune.'"

  Da Zong Heng Jun's lecture on the Tao was extremely profound, and among the many people present, only a few were able to gain something from it. These individuals mostly possessed the mechanism of the Great Tao within themselves, while Kun Peng itself did not possess the mechanism of the Great Tao. A large part of them could not understand, and those who could comprehend only grasped a tiny bit, which they could only forcibly memorize before contemplating further.

  Everyone listened attentively, and before they knew it, a thousand years had passed. The Taoist ancestor Hongjun also stopped preaching, and everyone suddenly woke up from the supreme mystery.

  The Taoist Patriarch Hongjun said to the crowd: "Nowadays, the Primordial Chaos is full of strife and struggle. You all don't have any powerful treasures in your possession. Since you are all fated to sit under my seat and listen to my lectures, I will give you some magical artifacts that I obtained during my travels in the Primordial Chaos when I was younger. Now that I no longer need them, I'll give them to you today to protect yourselves. In the future, whether you achieve enlightenment or suppress your own aura, it's all up to you."

  The crowd in the Purple Mansion who were listening to the Taoist master all exclaimed: "Master, have mercy."

  At this time, Kunpeng secretly laughed in his heart: "These people have long hoped for the arrival of this day." Most of the pre-heavenly spiritual treasures in the vast wilderness fell into the hands of Daozu Hongjun. Among the crowd, only a few people had spiritual treasures to protect themselves, and most people were empty-handed.

  Daozu Hongjun said: "The Three Purities are the transformation of Pangu's original spirit, and there must be a treasure to protect the body." As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a map, a banner, and four swords and placed them in front of him.

  "Listen, Daozu Hongjun said again: 'Old Master, you are the first of the Three Purities, this 'Taiji Diagram' has a destiny with you. This diagram is a pre-heavenly treasure that can stabilize the four extremes and suppress the air transport; Yuan Shi's 'Pangu Fan' is also a pre-heavenly treasure that can break open the chaos and has a destiny with you. Tongtian, your cultivation is the lowest among the Three Purities, and it's hard to avoid being deceived. These four swords are in charge of killing and punishing, respectively called 'Exterminating Immortal Sword', 'Punishing Immortal Sword', 'Absolute Immortal Sword', and 'Trapping Immortal Sword'. I will also grant you the 'Exterminating Immortal Array Diagram'. These diagrams and swords are all top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasures. When the diagram and sword are combined, they can set up the 'Exterminating Immortal Sword Array'. This array cannot be broken by anyone except the Four Sages. In the future, you must use it with caution and not lightly provoke disputes.'"

  If it's surprising that Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun obtained the "Taiji Diagram" and "Pangu Fan", then Tongtian Jiao's acquisition of the "Zhu Xian Jian Zhen" is like a thunderclap. The Zhu Xian Jian Zhen can be killed by reversing the order, but it cannot be broken without the Four Sages, which is somewhat against the heavens. Currently, apart from Daozu, only Nüwa has achieved sainthood, and even if all those who have attained sainthood were to join forces, excluding Tongtian Jiao, they would not be able to break this Zhu Xian Jian Zhen. In the future, everyone will likely have to yield to Tongtian Jiao, lest they be killed by the Zhu Xian Jian Zhen.

  The Three Pure Ones saw the Taoist Patriarch Hongjun bestow such precious treasures, and they hastily stepped forward to receive their respective treasures. The Tianxian Sect Master burst out laughing after receiving his treasure, with an extremely arrogant expression, which secretly enraged everyone present.

  The Taoist ancestor Hong Jun said: "Nüwa, you are not good at fighting as a woman. The 'Mountain and River Map' and the 'Red Tassel Ball' are both top-grade innate spiritual treasures, so I will give them to you."

  Nüwa hastily thanked him and accepted the two Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasures.

  When it was the turn of Zheng Ti and Jie Yin, Dao Zu Hong Jun said: "Jie Yin, Zheng Ti, although your roots are not as good as those of the Three Pure Ones, you have great wisdom and great willpower. In the future, you can also attain the great Dharma of the side door, which is a great opportunity. This 'Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus' and 'Eastern Blue-Colored Treasure Lotus Flag' will be bestowed upon you. The 'Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus' is transformed from the Thirty-Six Petal Primordial Chaos Green Lotus, which can suppress the movement of qi. The 'Eastern Blue-Colored Treasure Lotus Flag' is one of the Five Directional Flags of the Pre-Heavenly Realm. These two Dharma treasures are both top-grade Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasures that match your side door great Dharma."

  Jieyin and Zhunti were overjoyed to see that the two pre-heavenly spiritual treasures matched their own side door great methods, and they hastily expressed their gratitude, taking the spiritual treasures from Daozu Hongjun's hands.

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw that several people with sacred positions on their bodies had obtained spiritual treasures, and immediately stepped forward, crying: "Teacher is above, my demon clan controls the heavenly court but has no heavy treasure to suppress the aura, I hope teacher will grant a few spiritual treasures."

  Everyone who heard Donghuang Taiyi's shameless words was extremely angry. Donghuang Taiyi had the pre-heavenly treasure 'Hundun Bell', while Yao Huang Di Jun had the 'He Tu' and 'Luo Shu', yet he still dared to compete with them for the spiritual treasure.

  The Ancestor looked at the crowd below with expectant faces and said, "Those who have predestined affinity with the First Heaven Spirit Treasures will each have their own, as for the other spirit treasures, I'll place them on the Treasure Distribution Rock outside the palace, you can all go try your luck."

  Everyone immediately rushed out of Zixiao Palace and killed towards Fenbao Rock after hearing Daozu Hongjun's comforting words.

  Yao Shi Kun Peng and the others were waiting for exactly this sentence from Dao Zu Hong Jun. As soon as Dao Zu Hong Jun finished speaking, he revealed his true form with a pair of wings and was the first to fly out of the Purple Mist Palace. Everyone's eyes blurred, and they lost sight of him in an instant. Even the Three Pure Ones were extremely shocked by Kun Peng's speed.

  Fen Bao Rock is a giant purple-black boulder with many spiritual treasures floating on top of it, the light emitted by the spiritual treasures makes people's eyes dizzy. Kun Peng was the first to arrive at Fen Bao Rock, he came early but didn't get too many spiritual treasures. When he stepped onto Fen Bao Rock, he only saw 'Twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls', 'Sun and Moon Essence Wheel' and 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler' these three spiritual treasures, the other spiritual treasures all disappeared, it can be seen that Daozu Hongjun didn't want anyone to get too many spiritual treasures, so he set up a ban on Fen Bao Rock.

  Kunpeng was extremely surprised when he saw the 'Twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls'. According to his memories from later generations, there were only twenty-four 'Dinghai Divine Pearls' in total. He originally had twelve of them, but now another twenty-four appeared on this Treasure Rock, completely overturning his memories from later generations. How could he not be surprised by such a sudden event?

  Originally, at the beginning of the chaos, 36 Dinghai Divine Pearls were produced. Due to Pangu's opening of the sky, these 36 Dinghai Divine Pearls were separated. Among them, 20 Dinghai Divine Pearls were obtained by Daozu Hongjun, while the other 12 Dinghai Divine Pearls fell on the Fangzhang Island in the Three Islands Overseas. The reason Kunpeng was able to obtain these 24 Dinghai Divine Pearls is also because they were attracted by the 12 Dinghai Divine Pearls he already possessed.

  "The Thirty-Six Celestial Beads of the Sea-Calming Pearl" refers to the thirty-six directions of the world, and can be used to set up the "Thirty-Six Heavenly Formation". This formation is second only to the "Primordial Five Elements Great Formation" set up by the Primordial Five Elements Flag and the Witch Clan's "Twelve Heavenly God-Killing Formation" and "Slaying Immortal Sword Formation". If Kunpeng uses these Thirty-Six Celestial Beads of the Sea-Calming Pearl to slay corpses, it will have the power of thirty-six directions of the world. The strength of its magical power is second only to proving one's Dao through brute force.

  "Day and Night Wheels of Essence" is also a top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, with offense and defense as one entity. The Day Wheel of Essence can ward off the true fire of the sun for defensive purposes, its power second only to the "Twelve-Product Golden Lotus". The Moon Wheel of Essence is primarily used for offense, warding off the yin energy of the heavens, with unpredictable changes in attack that leave others unable to defend against.

  "The Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler" is a post-heavenly merit treasure, transformed from the primordial yellow energy after Pangu opened the sky. After Pangu opened the sky, 30% of the merit was obtained by the Three Pure Ones, 30% was obtained by the Twelve Ancestral Shamans, and 40% of the remaining merit transformed into the post-heavenly merit treasure "Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda". This pagoda can be placed on top of one's head to ward off all methods. The last 10% of the merit then transformed into this "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler", which is a post-heavenly merit treasure that kills without leaving any karmic consequences.

  Kunpeng took down these three spiritual treasures and immediately left Fenbao Rock, standing on one side of Fenbao Rock waiting for the arrival of everyone.

  In a moment, Sanqing, Nüwa Niangniang, Jièyǐn and Zhunti arrived at Fenbao Rock. Everyone took a look at Kunpeng with some confusion in their hearts, wondering why he didn't take action to contend for these pre-heavenly spiritual treasures. However, they didn't think much about it and rushed into Fenbao Rock one after another to scramble for the spiritual treasures. Unfortunately, things went against their wishes. After entering Fenbao Rock, they encountered the same situation as Kunpeng, only seeing some spiritual treasures that were destined for them. At the same time when everyone was collecting the treasures, most of the pre-heavenly spiritual treasures broke through the restrictions on Fenbao Rock and fell onto the vast land of Honghuang.

  The majority of the spiritual treasures obtained by Tongtian Teachings' Master were the most, followed by Yuanshi Tianzun. Others got relatively few, only a handful of pre-heavenly spiritual treasures.

  After everyone finished collecting the Lingbao, they returned to the Purple Cloud Palace. After everyone left, Kunpeng stepped forward again and waved his hand to put away the Divide Treasure Rock. The Divide Treasure Rock was also an extraordinary spiritual treasure, but everyone had eyes but no pearls, not recognizing this treasure. After putting away the Divide Treasure Rock, Kunpeng also immediately returned to the Purple Cloud Palace.
