Chapter 405: Chapter 319 [Profit Distribution, Hong Tian Seeks Treasure] (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
In the great battle between Heavenly Dao Hong Jun and the Three Pure Ones, this Chaos Treasure reassembled and then shattered, dispersing into three thousand fragments throughout the Primordial World, becoming opportunities for many cultivators.
The Great Dao recorded on this Chaos Treasure had been mostly comprehended by Hong Jun, except for the Creation Jade Disc Fragment used by Xuanqing to scheme against him, which recorded forty-seven Great Dao he hadn’t understood.
Among these forty-seven Great Dao principles, twenty-three of them were mastered by Hong Jun through other means after he united with Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, Hongtian Taoist now needed to master only twenty-four Great Dao principles.
His former self had wielded the "Creation Jade Disc" for a long time, and finding the remaining jade disc fragments based on his perception was not a difficult task!
Previously, he couldn’t find them due to Pangu’s precautions, but after the "Creation Jade Disc" reassembled, the cause and effect became clear, naturally eliminating the issue of being unable to find them anymore!
"Daoist friend, please stay!"
With his methods, taking the "Creation Jade Disc" fragments undetected and then using some Immortal Dao Divine Power to erase those cultivators’ memories of him wasn’t a difficult feat.
In less than ten thousand years, he mastered twenty-two Great Dao again, but upon sensing the location of the remaining two jade disc fragments, he couldn’t help but frown and then let out a helpless sigh.
The two remaining jade disc fragments, one recorded the Tribulation Fate Great Dao in the hands of Shen Gongbao, and the other recorded the Mind Great Dao, which by chance, fell into the hands of the Heavenly Demons of the Demon Realm.
"Shen Gongbao, born to respond to tribulation, and Heavenly Demon Qiong Cang, are both disciples of Yuanshi!"
Hongtian Taoist’s eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness as he had tried his best to avoid cause and effect, but ultimately, he still got entangled with Yuanshi Tianzun.
Both places were guarded by incarnations of Yuanshi Tianzun, with Primordial Heavenly King in Yuxu Palace and Primordial Heavenly Demon in the Demon Realm!
To evolve the general of the Great Dao, at least three thousand Great Dao were needed. The Immortal Dao evolved by Hong Jun, combined with some Acquired Great Dao born in the Primordial World, could actually transform the Immortal Dao into the general of the Great Dao!
But, to know oneself and know one’s enemy, one will emerge victorious in a hundred battles. Only by mastering the three thousand Innate Great Dao can he glean insights into the secrets of Pangu’s Power Dao!
This is also why he went to great lengths to seek the "Creation Jade Disc" fragments!
Qiong Cang’s cultivation in the Demon Realm was at the peak of Primordial Golden Immortal, even for Hongtian Taoist, retrieving the jade disc fragment recording the Mind Great Dao without alerting Primordial Heavenly Demon wasn’t easily accomplished!
Therefore, Hongtian first set his sights on Shen Gongbao, who only had the cultivation of Daluo Golden Immortal. Coupled with his travels across the Primordial World and his connections with Daoists, he was somewhat easier to handle than Heavenly Demon Qiong Cang.
It wasn’t that he feared anything!
With his power, even if he forcefully took it, no one could stop him!
However...
Having finally freed himself from Hong Jun’s cause and effect, directly targeting these two might attract the attention of those Saints in the Primordial World!
Once Hong Jun’s cause and effect re-entwine him, all that he had worked to negate and his plans to erase and vacate would be in vain!
He naturally wouldn’t want that!
On this day, Shen Gongbao was riding the clouds to the west, preparing to attend a Daoist conference.
Recently, due to the chaos caused by Luo Hou, the myriad Buddhas of the Buddhist Sect fell silent, leaving core figures like Mile, Mahasthamaprapta, Brahma, and Golden Cicada only with their True Spirit, compelling them to reincarnate and cultivate anew. The disputes within various factions of the Buddhist Sect were forcibly suppressed by incarnations of the Jieyin Daoist.
Now, it was Pharmacist, the direct disciple of Jieyin Daoist who led the Buddhist Sect, and the influence of Ci Hang, Wenshu, and others in the Buddhist Sect was also continuously expanding.
However, Pharmacist recently obtained a "Primordial Pill," intending to enter seclusion to see if there is an opportunity to prove the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal?
Before he went into seclusion, a new spokesperson for the Buddhist Sect needed to be elected!
Shen Gongbao was going to join the fun!
As a Chan Sect disciple, he had no chance to participate himself, but people like Ci Hang were competitive candidates, so naturally, he wanted to see the commotion!
"Daoist friend, please stay!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Seeing Shen Gongbao flying over from West Kunlun, Hongtian Taoist immediately spoke up.
Shen Gongbao’s hairs stood on end.
He had always been the one to say "Daoist friend, please stay" to others. He never expected one day someone else would say those words to him.
If it were a regular person uttering these words, he wouldn’t be so nervous. However, having cultivated the Tribulation Fate Great Dao, he had a certain sensitivity to crises in the darkness.
He could also perceive that the person calling him to stop possessed cultivation far superior to his own.
"What should I do?"
Shen Gongbao felt conflicted, "Should I turn around or not? If I don’t, and the other thinks I’m being rude, then casually strikes me down, what then? But if I turn, how should I respond?"
Fortunately, he didn’t remain in his dilemma for too long!
Before he had a chance to turn around, Hongtian Taoist had already appeared in front of Shen Gongbao, "Heavenly Rainbow under the Queen Mother of the West, may I ask if the Daoist friend is a disciple of the Chan Sect?"
At this moment, Hongtian Taoist was under the guise of Heavenly Rainbow Fairy. Given Shen Gongbao’s cultivation, he couldn’t quite discern the authenticity... However, an inexplicable sense of danger arose in Shen Gongbao!
Having cultivated the Tribulation Fate Great Dao, he could sense the slightest hint of danger, like the early awareness of an autumn breeze before it’s felt.
"So it’s the Daoist friend from West Kunlun!"
Shen Gongbao showed a slight smile and curiously asked, "I’ve heard that the Queen Mother advanced to sainthood, yet I haven’t had the chance to congratulate her. It’s my fault for being discourteous! However, I’ve heard that under the Queen Mother, there are only two disciples, Mysterious Fairy of the Nine Heavens and Pure Woman of the Nine Heavens! So I’m curious, Heavenly Rainbow Fairy, how are you related to the Queen Mother? Why haven’t I heard of you before?"
Although the female immortal before him appeared radiant and amiable, Shen Gongbao, being cautious, didn’t quickly believe her words.
Nonetheless, West Kunlun being the Queen Mother’s domain, it was likely that anyone proclaiming association there had some relation to the Queen Mother.
Upon hearing this, Hongtian Taoist promptly replied, "My master practices the Painting Dao and opened a Painting Realm. I was a sentient being enlightened from the Painting Realm by my master, and I have recently completed my cultivation, though I’m not as well-known as my two senior sisters!"
"So that’s the case!"
Shen Gongbao nodded, "It’s my ignorance showing! But may I ask why Heavenly Rainbow Fairy stopped me? I have to head to Mount Sumeru and can’t afford to linger here for too long!"
Hongtian Taoist smiled, "Truthfully, my master instructed me to request something from you, Daoist friend. Would you be willing to part with it?"
"What thing?"
Shen Gongbao immediately tensed up.
Even though he’s a saint’s disciple, Yuanshi Tianzun himself wasn’t present in the Primordial World.
"The Creation Jade Disc Fragment!"
Hongtian Taoist exuded a resolute attitude, "Daoist friend, you should know that my master, the Queen Mother, oversees the Heavens and studies the Five Wanes. She also has considerable research on the Tribulation Fate Great Dao! Once she learned that you possess a fragment of the Creation Jade Disc recording the Tribulation Fate Great Dao, she tasked me to wait for you here!"
Not wanting to get entangled in past cause and effect, Hongtian Taoist used the Queen Mother as a pretext, hoping Shen Gongbao would understand.
He paused and added, "Of course, we won’t take your treasure for nothing. My master instructed me that she is willing to exchange a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure for it!"
Before he finished speaking, two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures appeared beside him.
Of course, this was just an excuse!
As the former Daoist Ancestor, Hongtian Taoist lacked no spiritual treasures, not to mention top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures; he even had a few Chaos Spirit Treasures.
"This..."
Shen Gongbao was placed in a dilemma.
The "Creation Jade Disc" fragment that recorded the Tribulation Fate Great Dao had greatly accelerated his Dao comprehension, and he naturally didn’t want to exchange it easily with others.
However, the person before him had a determined attitude. If he refused to exchange it, what if the other party decided to take it forcefully? His current cultivation wasn’t enough to resist!
An idea struck Shen Gongbao’s mind, and he immediately took out the "Creation Jade Disc" fragment, "To be honest, this Creation Jade Disc fragment is of great use to me, making it difficult to trade away!"
"But..."
"Since it is the Queen Mother’s request, I’m willing to lend it for the elder to contemplate for some time and retrieve it later from West Kunlun alongside my master, how does that sound?"
His words were meticulously chosen, first stating it could be lent instead of traded, while subtly reminding of his connection with Yuanshi Tianzun.
Hongtian Taoist expressed helplessness, "But Daoist friend, my master wishes to exchange with you?"
Exchange and lending are two different concepts. If it were an exchange, there would be no cause and effect. However, borrowing the Creation Jade Disc Fragment would implicate him with a cause and effect in Shen Gongbao’s favor.
He was already striving to eliminate the existing cause and effect on himself, so how could he wish to willingly add more?
