Chapter 22: Divide the Treasure and Disperse the Disciples 2

  There are not many treasures that can suppress the aura in this vast and chaotic world! Only a few top-grade spiritual treasures like the First Heaven Treasure have a strong effect on suppressing the aura. Some First Heaven Treasures don't even have the effect of suppressing the aura! Just like the Four Swords of the Exterminating Gods, they are completely ineffective in suppressing the aura.

  In the same way that a naturally born treasure like Qi Yun Zhi Bao can suppress Qi Yun, eventually it will have the effect of suppressing Qi Yun. If you don't have a treasure to suppress Qi Yun, your Qi Yun will immediately dissipate. This isn't a big deal for an individual, because some people can suppress their own Qi Yun, but generally only those with high-level cultivation abilities can do this. So if it's a race instead, the race will also become weak and be replaced by other races as its Qi Yun flows away.

  The three disciples of Shi Zhong's ethnic group were able to prosper because Shi Zhong had refined the treasure of their ethnic group for them. He collected a drop of essence from each member of the tribe and combined it with large quantities of precious materials, which were not his own. He then refined three large seals, on which were respectively the Nine-Colored Divine Deer (the symbol of heavenly luck), the Pre-Heavenly Mystic Snake (the true body of the heavenly heart), and the Pre-Heavenly Brocade Carp (the symbol of heavenly language). Since they were treasures of the vital energy, they all reached the level of post-heavenly treasure, which was forbidden beyond the 54th Dao.

  The disciples below saw that the two Lingbao rewarded by their master were so powerful and looked forward to what their own Lingbao would be.

  Shi Zhong gazed at Tian Huo and Tian Guang after admiring the spiritual treasures of Tian Songzi. The cultivation of these two was not weak either, both having reached the early and late stages of the Law of Initial Realm. However, it was unknown why the luck of these two disciples wasn't great. Over a million years, neither of them had any decent spiritual treasures on their bodies, except for a single high-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, the Divine Fire Cauldron, on Tian Huo's body. There were only about ten mid-to-low grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, but there were quite a few post-heavenly spiritual treasures, including several top-grade ones.

  Even a single top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure was nowhere to be found, whereas Tiansongzi and Tongtian had each obtained two extreme-grade Primordial Spirit Treasures! As for Tianhuo and Tianguang, the two of them were indeed quite carefree. Although they said they hadn't obtained any Spirit Treasures, this was mainly because the two of them were too carefree. They always said that when it came to Spirit Treasures, one should just go with the flow and not force it, and when they saw their fellow disciples obtaining Spirit Treasures, they never showed any envy. It seemed that either they weren't very carefree or their mindset was truly good.

  Actually, the two of them didn't care about Lingbao also had a reason. It is said that Tianhuo and Tianguang were born together, so they were as close as brothers, with very good feelings. In the end, they both entered the Stone Zhongmen under the same master, so their caves were also together. It is said that after Tianhuo and Tianguang obtained the "Qidaojuan" and "Zhen Daojuan", they fell in love with the profession of alchemy from then on, and devoted themselves to studying the art of alchemy. The two had extremely strong control over flames, so their alchemy skills were getting higher and higher.

  However, they were worried that they didn't have any good equipment, so the two of them went out to search. If it wasn't for this trip to find spiritual treasures, it would be impossible for the two of them to find what they needed. It was during this trip that they found some mid-to-low-grade spiritual treasures. Tianhuo even found a high-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, the Divine Fire Cauldron, but Tianguang didn't find any equipment spiritual treasures he needed. He only found a mid-grade pre-heavenly small cauldron, the Five Elements Cauldron, which was still very helpful for refining equipment. After this trip, the two of them spent their time researching and practicing equipment refinement in addition to their cultivation. They eventually managed to refine some top-grade post-heavenly spiritual treasures. As for other post-heavenly spiritual treasures, they were countless, so the two of them saw many spiritual treasures and weren't too enthusiastic about finding more. Moreover, they still had two high-grade pre-heavenly gourds.

  Shi Zhong looked at the two disciples and said, "You two have been in the sect for many years now. As your master, I will give you some treasures to protect yourselves. I hope you won't lose face for the sect from now on." After finishing speaking, three spiritual treasures appeared in front of each of the two disciples. In front of Tian Huo, there were thirty-six pearls, a ruler, and a copper coin. In front of Tian Guang, there was a miniature stove, a map, and a bow.

  "This pearl is the Dinghai Divine Pearl, one of the top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasures that are forbidden from being used by those below the 45th level. This ruler is the Qiankun Ruler, a high-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure that is forbidden from being used by those below the 40th level. Don't underestimate this high-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure. When combined with the 36 Dinghai Divine Pearls, it can form the 36 Heavenly Worlds, which have the power to suppress the flow of qi and can evolve into 36 small worlds through continuous transformation. This means you will possess the world's power of 36 small worlds.

  However, evolving it into a middle-grade world is extremely difficult. You must find the Chaotic Five Elements Spiritual Veins, and with their help, it may be possible to evolve it into a middle-grade world.

  This copper coin is not simple either; it is also an extreme-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure that has been forbidden from being used by those below the 45th level. However, since it was the first coin created when the heavens were opened, there is still one more merit to be achieved. Therefore, it has been sealed with five prohibitions and is equivalent to a high-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure.

  This spiritual treasure can suppress all post-heavenly spiritual treasures and pre-heavenly spiritual treasures that have no merits in the world. However, since the prohibition has not been lifted, it can only be used three times a day when the sun sets. This Qiankun Ruler is also a spiritual treasure that measures all things in the world and has one more merit to be achieved."

  After hearing Shi Zhong's words, Tian Huo was thrilled in his heart. To know that the 36 Dinghai Divine Pearls could create 36 Heavenly Worlds was already very satisfying for Tian Huo. After all, these Heavenly Worlds were not easy to create. The 36 Heavenly Worlds meant that you would possess the power of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal! Moreover, these Heavenly Worlds could evolve into Small Thousand Worlds through transformation. These Small Thousand Worlds were something that only a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal could open, so they were generally considered to be the possession of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. Although it was a bit difficult, at least there was some hope, right? Moreover, there were still two more opportunities for merit and virtue, not to mention the Lingbao and the Extreme Quality Primordial Spirit Treasure.

  "This furnace was obtained by the master in an accidental encounter, and its name is Hunyuan Furnace. It is a top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure that is forbidden for forty-four levels, and it has the effect of refining elixirs and artifacts. The master knows that you have a special talent in the way of refining artifacts, so he gave this Hunyuan Furnace to you. This furnace not only has the effect of refining elixirs and artifacts but also has a strong effect on attack, with the presence of Hunyuan Qi, which is very powerful in terms of attacking power.

  This diagram is the Qiankun Diagram, which is a top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure that is forbidden for forty-five levels. It has the effects of suppressing people, capturing people, and trapping people, and it also contains a small thousand-world inside, which can transform the world's way.

  This bow was refined by the master using many precious materials and has reached the level of a post-heavenly treasure of fifty-two levels. If it is added with merit, it can become a post-heavenly merit treasure. Its attacking power is extremely strong, especially in long-range attacks. As long as you move your spiritual power on top of it, you don't need an arrow."

  Tiangong was overjoyed to receive the Lingbao, and what made him even happier was that he had obtained a refining tool, the Hunyuan Furnace, which was one level higher than the Tianhuo. From now on, it meant that his refined Lingbao would no longer be inferior to Tianhuo's. In fact, the two often compared themselves, and Tiangong was often at a disadvantage because his Wuyuan Ding was one level lower than Shenhuo Ding. Now, with the Hunyuan Furnace, Tiangong believed that his refined Lingbao would definitely be stronger than Tianhuo's.

  Shi Zhong looked at Tianling, who actually had a high innate talent. After all, he was the one who opened up the sky with the mixed yuan energy and transformed into a clear gas, so if his qualifications were low, it would be impossible to say that in the past 100,000 years, from breaking through as a golden immortal to the initial stage of the law boundary, Tianling also didn't take any disciples during this period, just like Shi Zhong's previous few disciples, and only occasionally discussed the Tao with other fellow practitioners.

  However, Tianling's luck was still pretty good. Not only did he get the 44th pre-heavenly forbidden extreme treasure, Quiet Heart Zither, but also the 45th pre-heavenly forbidden extreme treasure, Purple-Green Divine Sword. Because it had two sides, one purple and the other green, the Purple-Green Divine Sword could transform into a pair of 43rd pre-heavenly forbidden extreme treasures, the Purple-Green Twin Swords.

  "Heavenly Spirit, you also have many spiritual treasures on your body. Even if I don't give you any spiritual treasures as a master, your protective spiritual treasure is enough. However, in order to be fair, I will give you two spiritual treasures today. This garment is the Luminous Skirt, one of the 45 pre-heavenly forbidden spiritual treasures, with unparalleled defensive capabilities. This lamp is the Treasure Lotus Lamp, also one of the 45 pre-heavenly forbidden top-grade spiritual treasures, capable of both attacking and defending. I'm giving them to you." As soon as he finished speaking, a lamp-shaped and a skirt-shaped spiritual treasure appeared in front of Heavenly Spirit. In fact, Shi Zhong had only found one of the four divine lamps of the Pre-Heavenly Four Great Divine Lamps.

  Shi Zhong looked at Tian Lu, Tian Xin and Tian Yu and said, "You three are the owners of a race, but remember that there is no forever strong race in the world. So, you don't have to fight for hegemony in the Desolate World. You are not the main characters of the Desolate World's heaven and earth. Do you know who is the main character of the Desolate World's heaven and earth?" Shi Zhong asked again.

  The three of them thought for a while and finally answered in unison: "Disciples don't know, may we ask the master's name?"

  "Do you all know who initiated this event?" Shi Zhong looked at the crowd of disciples and asked. This time, Shi Zhong's question was not only directed at the three Tianlu disciples, but also to all the other disciples, including Shi Tian and Shi Er.

  Everyone thinks that the teacher is confused today. Why ask such a stupid question? As everyone knows, this vast world was opened up by Pangu! Is there any hidden meaning in this? Just as the disciples were thinking wildly, Shi Zhong's question rang out again.

  "Do you know what kind of system Pangu is?" Shi Zhong's question arose again, and the disciples fell into deep thought once more. But before they could respond, Shi Zhong provided the answer himself.

  "Pangu is the pre-heavenly demon god's body, what is the body, just like the physical form we have now after transformation. The current Honghuang world was opened up by Pangu, so the protagonist of this Honghuang world has actually been predetermined from the beginning, that is, a race born with a body, which cannot be changed. Even if you destroy the body of the demon god's race in this life, it will reappear soon after. Moreover, because you destroyed the body of the demon god's race, you will bear the great karma of the Honghuang world and the heavenly way will punish you. It is possible that your cultivation will not progress for a lifetime, or even be directly punished by heaven and destroyed. Therefore, in the future, if you encounter such a race, you should support them more, so that you can gain part of their luck and the reward of heaven and earth's merit. As long as your race is connected to this race's luck, there will be no danger of extinction." Stone Zhong spoke like an old man, slowly revealing the secrets of heaven and earth.

  The numerous disciples listened with their eyes wide open and mouths agape. The numerous disciples had never heard of such a secret in the world before.

  Shi Zhong seemed very satisfied with the result he had achieved, and continued to say, "So, you three tribes should not pay too much attention to the struggle between races, but rather focus on cultivation. Although you now have the treasure of racial luck, I will still bestow some spiritual treasures upon you as a means of self-defense."
