73: Li Yun wanted to reveal a spoiler: the innate treasure would appear.
"This is..."
"An innate supreme treasure is being born!"
Seeing this commotion, the many Great Divine Power Holders who had been discussing, debating the Dao, and sparring all jolted and abruptly stood up.
Their gazes fixed intently on the distant area where the heaven and earth phenomenon churned. Without any hesitation, one figure after another shot out like streaks of light, heading straight for the location of the churning phenomenon.
An innate supreme treasure!
That was an innate supreme treasure.
No one could remain unmoved by it, no one could afford to ignore it.
Precisely because of this, in the blink of an eye, ninety-nine percent of the Cultivators in the area had already vanished from their spots.
Conversely, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun showed no sign of moving. They remained seated in the area beside Li Yun, looking with great interest towards the commotion in the distance.
"Fellow Daoists, are you two not going?"
Seeing this situation, Li Yun asked with some surprise.
After all, this was an innate supreme treasure.
Something the Demon God Palace members had sworn upon their lives to deliver. Could Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun truly remain unmoved?
Even he himself couldn't claim to be indifferent. If he possessed cultivation like Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun, he would definitely go and try to seize it, no matter what!
But the result? These two were actually so nonchalant about it. It was simply... unbelievable!
"We two will not participate!"
Waving his hand, Zhenyuanzi said with a full smile, "The reason we came here was because of the previous invitation from Dijun and the others; we felt compelled to attend."
"But now that the Demon God Palace has been defeated, we won't get overly involved. Our main purpose in coming was more to debate the Dao and make a few friends!"
"As for this innate supreme treasure, we two still have some self-awareness. Even if we obtained it, we wouldn't be able to keep it!"
Hearing this, Hongyun beside him also nodded and said, "Exactly. An innate supreme treasure belongs to those with the capability. We two do not consider ourselves to be such individuals!"
"It may seem incredibly tempting, but in reality, this thing is a huge pitfall. Whoever touches it is in for trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yun fell silent.
He had to admit, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun saw things clearly. So what if it was an innate supreme treasure? Unless you advanced to the Quasi-Saint stage and suppressed everyone, holding onto such a thing would simply rob you of sleep.
There were quite a few people who saw through things as Zhenyuanzi and the others did, but they still couldn't suppress the greed in their hearts. This led to the rest choosing to participate.
One had to admit, the Dao Hearts of Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun were firm. It was probably precisely because of this that the future Hongyun would yield his seat, not wanting to stand out and become a target for all.
Unfortunately, his act of yielding turned out to be the worst choice, directly leading to his future demise through scheming.
Thinking of this, Li Yun cupped his hands in a salute and said, "Thank you for the advice, Fellow Daoists!"
Hearing this, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun exchanged a smile.
They knew Li Yun understood and grasped the meaning of their earlier words.
Thinking of this, Hongyun changed the subject, "However, not fighting for it doesn't mean we can't watch the spectacle!"
"Old friend, shall we take Little Friend Li Yun along to have a look?"
"With our speed, as long as we don't participate, there shouldn't be any major issues."
Hearing this, Li Yun's eyes lit up.
He did want to go and see. Only by confirming what that innate supreme treasure was could he determine whether the one causing trouble behind the scenes was the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun. This was also of vital importance to him.
"Alright~"
Looking at the expectant Li Yun and Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi stood up with a smile and said, "Merely watching is fine. With Hongyun's speed and my defensive capabilities, no one can do anything to us!"
"Let's go. It's a good chance to witness the so-called innate supreme treasure. To be honest, this is the first time I've been this close to one!"
As they spoke, the three of them directly rode their clouds and rose into the air, beginning to fly unhurriedly towards the interior of Mount Buzhou.
However, along the way, Li Yun couldn't help but ask with some confusion, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, what you just said isn't quite right, is it? An innate supreme treasure like this isn't something you're seeing for the first time!"
Hearing this, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun were stunned, both looking at Li Yun with confusion, "How is that possible!"
"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, an innate supreme treasure is the treasure among treasures. Besides the one about to be born here, where else have we seen any other innate supreme treasure?"
"In fact, within the entire Honghuang, there hasn't even been a whisper of an innate supreme treasure's existence. Basically, it's all Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and those are held in the hands of an extremely small number of people."
Saying this, a trace of pride appeared on Zhenyuanzi's Face.
His companion Spirit Treasure, the Earth Book, was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and its grade wasn't low even among Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
It was just that the Earth Book wasn't a Sharp Weapon for killing, otherwise, he would truly have some confidence to contend for it.
"Uh~"
Taking in their reactions, Li Yun immediately sensed something was amiss.
Other things aside,
he knew perfectly well what the donghuang bell was. It was the innate supreme treasure chaos bell, merely disguised by Donghuang Taiyi using Refining Technique to change its appearance and deceive others.
He just never expected Donghuang Taiyi's deception to be so successful that even Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun hadn't seen through it. That likely meant the other Honghuang Cultivators hadn't noticed either.
Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Li Yun's eyes.
Ever since he seized the Fusang Tree, the conflict between him and Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi had become uncontrollable.
Coupled with his choice to support and befriend the Wu Clan, he naturally became their inherent enemy.
Given that, if he were to expose the fact that the donghuang bell was actually the chaos bell, then... As he pondered, the trio of them arrived at the area where the heaven and earth phenomenon churned.
Within sight, the area beneath the phenomenon was a special mountain gorge. At this moment, the surging Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all around was visibly gathering towards it.
Faintly, one could see a brilliant, multi-colored treasure light enveloping some object. It was absorbing the spiritual qi, constantly taking shape. The aura fluctuations it emitted indeed surpassed those of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures; it was the genuine article, an innate supreme treasure.
"Gulp~"
"An innate supreme treasure, is that really an innate supreme treasure?"
"It hasn't even fully manifested yet, and it already possesses such imposing majesty. Truly worthy of the name 'supreme treasure'!"
"..."
Seeing this scene, countless Cultivators swallowed their saliva, their eyes filled with greed, longing, and possessiveness.
Li Yun even saw Yuanshi and Tongtian standing there, their expressions also thick with possessiveness.
Seeing this, Li Yun shook his head.
Without Laozi present, it was basically impossible for Yuanshi and Tongtian to claim this innate supreme treasure for themselves.
After all, everyone here was at the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Perfection level. No one would give any Face and yield something like an innate supreme treasure.
"Everyone~"
Just then, Hongyun suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, Little Friend Li Yun, and I, the three of us, are not participating in this matter. We were just curious and followed to watch. Once this thing manifests, you all can rely on your own abilities!"
"However, with so many of us here, if a real fight breaks out, the losses will likely be immense. How about we have a fair and just contest instead?"
