The previously arrogant Grand Unity Golden Immortal was now filled with deep regret.

He had been arrogant too soon.

“I heard you were very brave?”

Tai Yi calmly looked at the previously arrogant Grand Unity Golden Immortal; no emotional fluctuation could be discerned in his tone.

To that Grand Unity Golden Immortal, this calm tone sounded utterly murderous.

As he was stared at by Tai Yi, a chill instantly ran down his spine, and cold sweat broke out.

“No, no, this humble Daoist was just playing around. Great God, please, please, I will not participate in the pursuit of this Spirit Treasure.”

As arrogant as that Grand Unity Golden Immortal had been before, he was now just as embarrassed.

His previous grand words now turned into slaps, fiercely smacking his own face.

That Grand Unity Golden Immortal fled the area like a refugee, vanishing into the vast Great Desolation, as if he had never been there.

Seeing this, the rest of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Creatures all stopped and watched from the side.

Although they were all Grand Unity Golden Immortals, the gap between them and The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi was too vast.

Moreover, Di Jun and Tai Yi currently had two Spirit Treasures suspended above their heads.

They were precisely the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the river chart and luo scroll.

“I didn't expect that without the chaos bell, Tai Yi's Natal Spirit Treasure would become the luo book.

Dijun only has the river map as his single accompanying Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.”

Xuan Qing was not surprised to see the river chart and luo scroll suspended above the heads of The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi.

After all, this situation had already been guessed by both his true self, Taiqing, and him.

The reason the chaos bell became Tai Yi's Natal Supreme Treasure was due to the schemes of Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

Therefore, Heavenly Dao Hongjun naturally had to support Dijun as well.

Thus, Tai Yi's original Natal Spirit Treasure, the luo book, was naturally swapped by Hongjun to Dijun.

He stopped thinking about other matters.

Sensing the extremely strong attraction emanating from the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Xuan Qing no longer hesitated, immediately rising and heading toward the Spirit Treasure.

“Who is this guy? Does he have a death wish?

With those two Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses present, he still dares to step forward?

Does he really want the Spirit Treasure more than his life?”

Seeing Xuan Qing fly toward the Spirit Treasure, all the other Great Luo Golden Immortal Creatures were startled.

No matter how hard they thought, they couldn't understand how Xuan Qing, with his mere Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal cultivation.

Dared to challenge The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi?

The several Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses present all sneered, waiting to see Xuan Qing make a fool of himself.

They wanted to see how easily Di Jun and Tai Yi would tear Xuan Qing into pieces.

“Just wait and see, this guy will definitely be easily ripped to shreds by those two powerhouses.

He must have been driven mad by the Spirit Treasure; those two powerhouses are certainly not benevolent figures.”

“Go on, go on! If you don't go, how can this Venerable One have a chance to seize the Spirit Treasure amidst the chaos?

Your sacrifice is worthwhile, creating an opportunity for this Venerable One to snatch the Spirit Treasure.

This Venerable One will thank you for your contribution.”

Those Great Luo Golden Immortal Creatures were all preparing to watch Xuan Qing's misfortune, gloating over his impending failure.

They were ready to see how many moves Xuan Qing could withstand against The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi.

Some were even preparing to seize the Spirit Treasure during the chaos when Di Jun and Tai Yi attacked Xuan Qing.

These creatures dared not step forward themselves, but when others did, they mocked them relentlessly.

Xuan Qing naturally knew the thoughts in the minds of these creatures, but he didn't care at all.

They were just fence-sitters; why bother caring?

With such Heart-Nature, if this place were not the Great Desolation, it would be impossible for them to even achieve Grand Unity Golden Immortal status.

Xuan Qing flew beside The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi and performed a cupped-fist salute toward them.

The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi returned the cupped-fist salute.

This action instantly stunned the Great Luo Golden Immortal Creatures who had been waiting to see Xuan Qing humiliated.

“What is going on? Why didn't those two powerhouses attack that guy?

The opponent is merely an Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal cultivator.

Why are those two powerhouses so polite to him?”

The surrounding Grand Unity Golden Immortals were all shocked, and the creatures speculated wildly in their hearts.

They truly could not understand why Di Jun and Tai Yi did not attack Xuan Qing.

If they wanted to befriend someone, which Grand Unity Golden Immortal present wasn't higher in cultivation than Xuan Qing?

If Di Jun and Tai Yi wanted to make friends, they should befriend them, not a mere Early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal like Xuan Qing.

“Could it be that those two powerhouses were just trying to scare the strong individuals present? Was their goal simply to reduce the number of competitors?

This Venerable One will see if that is the case.”

A Middle Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouse immediately took action, flying quickly toward the direction of the three beings, including Xuan Qing.

“How dare you!”

Tai Yi roared in anger. Seeing that there was still a creature daring to step forward, he attacked without hesitation.

With his Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, wielding the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the luo book, he fiercely smashed it toward that Middle Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Creature.

That creature was performing a cupped-fist salute, preparing to greet Di Jun and Tai Yi just like Xuan Qing did.

Unexpectedly, Tai Yi attacked him directly without a word.

In his haste, that creature could only hastily defend himself.

Under Tai Yi's furious attack, coupled with the activation of the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the luo book.

That Middle Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Creature was overwhelmingly repelled.

In an instant, that creature was heavily injured by Tai Yi.

The gap between the two was terrifyingly large.

“Hiss~!”

The other Grand Unity Golden Immortals watching nearby all gasped sharply.

Strong! Truly too strong! The difference was immense.

Just a single blow heavily injured a Middle Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouse.

The observers were all relieved that they had not rashly stepped forward.

Otherwise, they would be the ones heavily injured.

“Why?!”

The heavily injured creature struggled to utter a few words, then collapsed, completely unconscious.

He truly couldn't understand why Xuan Qing was fine while he was heavily injured by Tai Yi's attack.

Only at this moment did the surrounding Great Luo Golden Immortal Creatures change their attitude toward Xuan Qing.

Shifting from mockery to the current state of respect and shock.

Of course, there was still reluctance in their hearts.

Why could Xuan Qing participate in the Spirit Treasure competition while Di Jun and Tai Yi blocked them outside?

However, constrained by the might of The two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, those several Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses dared not step forward again.

“Hmph! A bunch of scraps dare to covet the Spirit Treasure!”

Seeing that the Grand Unity Golden Immortals no longer advanced, Tai Yi snorted coldly, immediately feeling bored.

He had thought he could have a good fight, but he didn't expect this bunch of Grand Unity Golden Immortals to be such cowards.

Nearly ten Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses actually didn't dare to attack him.

Mocked by Tai Yi, those nearly ten Grand Unity Golden Immortals did not retort.

A look of contemplation flashed in their eyes, wondering what they were thinking.

Tai Yi didn't care at all about the thoughts of those Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

A bunch of cowards who didn't even dare to attack.

Even if they devised some schemes or tricks, they were just scraps in the face of the absolute strength of him and his brother Dijun.

No longer paying attention to those Grand Unity Golden Immortals who only dared to watch the show, Xuan Qing finally turned his gaze to that Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

He saw a pair of Wings, shimmering with strange light, quietly suspended in the center of the soaring divine light from before.

The light of the Law of Speed flickered upon those Wings.

Xuan Qing's breathing immediately quickened by two points.

Wasn't this Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure pair of Wings exactly what he urgently needed right now?

As long as he obtained this Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure pair of Wings, he would definitely be able to rush to the border between the Eastern Continent and the Central Continent in a short time.

This way, he wouldn't have to worry about missing the Ancestor of Reincarnation due to the journey being too long and the travel time required being excessive.
