170: Chapter 170 The Sound Caused by Hongjun's Bestowal of Treasures

Everything happening within the cave dwelling where Haotian returned in the Beiming Sea was being watched by the top powers of the Primordial World.

One of them, for instance, was his Master.

In the Chaos Sea, the Zixiao Palace.

The Zixiao Small World, usually surrounded by white clouds and blooming with golden flowers, had now transformed into a sea of warm-toned clouds, following Hongjun's peaceful mood.

The jade plate of creation suspended above his head also bloomed with warm-colored radiance.

"Haotian... Princess Longji..."

Hongjun murmured softly, his voice lacking the majesty and indifference he usually displayed toward the beings of the Primordial World, instead carrying the affection of an elder.

A glimmer flashed in his eyes, and the ruthlessness of a Saint who had merged with the Heavenly Dao was gone.

Raising his hand for a light wave, the Chaos Qi rolled.

A delicate jade pendant, translucent white throughout, flowing with seven-colored fairy radiance and engraved with ten thousand Laws, slowly emerged from the Void Realm.

The jade pendant was only palm-sized, yet it radiated a profound Dao rhythm that calmed even the sea of clouds within the Zixiao Palace—a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Seven-Colored Heart-Protecting Jade Pendant!

This treasure was obtained by Hongjun as an inheritance from the Five Elements Daoist.

It had no offensive capabilities but was specialized in defense.

Containing thirty-six layers of Innate protective divine light, as long as one ray of spiritual light remained unextinguished, it could protect the holder's Primordial Spirit, making it a top-tier protective Spirit Treasure in the Primordial World!

Hongjun flicked his fingertip, and the Seven-Colored Heart-Protecting Jade Pendant turned into a warm stream of light, piercing through the Chaos Sea of clouds, falling straight toward the cave dwelling transformed by Kunpeng, and landing before Haotian.

At the same time, an indifferent voice sounded in Haotian's ears.

"Haotian, you have completed your tribulation and gained this daughter."

"This treasure, the Seven-Colored Heart-Protecting Pendant, is bestowed upon you to pass on to Princess Longji; consider it a small gift from me, her elder."

Haotian shuddered, looking at the Seven-Colored Heart-Protecting Jade Pendant hovering before him with great joy, then looked up toward the direction of the Zixiao Palace in the Chaos, his eyes filled with respect.

He quickly put away the Seven-Colored Heart-Protecting Jade Pendant, held Princess Longji, and bowed deeply toward the direction of the Zixiao Palace.

"Haotian, with my daughter Princess Longji, thanks the Master for his Saintly grace!"

Princess Longji in his arms was young and did not understand why Haotian was bowing to the Void Realm, but she still sensibly called out with Haotian, her voice soft and sweet: "Thanks to Master... Master..."

Inside the Zixiao Palace, upon hearing this, the corners of Hongjun's usually indifferent mouth curled into an imperceptible arc.

The warm light of the jade plate of creation intensified.

The power of the Heavenly Dao surrounding Princess Longji increased.

Besides Hongjun, The Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao and Shi Yan were also peeping into the Beiming Sea.

Watching the top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure coming from the Chaos Sea, the seven individuals had the same thought.

Old thing, your heritage is truly deep!

Three Immortals Island.

Beside the Sanguang Holy Water Pool, Shi Yan looked at Princess Longji's appearance, his eyes full of interest.

"Even without joining the Human Race, a bond was still born?"

In the original timeline, Haotian's final incarnation was in the Human Race, and he also had a sister born of the same mother, Yao Ji.

She shared the same name as the eldest daughter of Earth Emperor Lieshan.

"It seems that Human Immortal offspring are destined to be born after all."

Human Immortal offspring: Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, Yang Chan.

Yang Jiao died, Yang Jian split the mountain to save his mother, and Yang Chan repeated the same mistake.

"I just don't know how the Heavenly Dao will arrange things now?"

Nowadays, the Human Dao reigns within the Human Race, so it is basically impossible for the Heavenly Dao to interfere.

Unlike Shi Yan, whose attention was drawn by Princess Longji, the perspective of The Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao remained on that top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the auspicious clouds, sighing silently in his heart:

"As expected of the first Saint; even after giving away so many Spirit Treasures, his foundation remains deep."

He, as the orthodox successor of Pangu, did not possess many top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures himself.

Most of them were for his own use and would not be easily gifted to others.

His tone paused slightly, his voice lighter, almost a murmur:

"This old man hides too deeply; the depth of his foundation is far beyond what we, the Heavenly Dao Saints, can fathom."

In the Bajing Palace, Laozi, who was pure and inactive, sat cross-legged on a futon, refining Alchemy while speaking softly.

"The method of the Quasi-Saint is flawed; transmitting it has caused complaints among all spirits."

"Since the Teacher has merged with the Dao, his legacy should naturally belong to the eldest Disciple."

There must be a battle between the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao.

Taiqing's words indicated that he would backstab Hongjun at a critical moment and then inherit everything of Hongjun.

In the Biyou Palace of the East Sea, the Master of Tongtian lay sideways on a cloud bed, his tone full of emotion:

"The Teacher is indeed the number one Saint of the Primordial World; this generosity is unmatched! He gives away a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure without even blinking."

Tongtian was open and honest, never engaging in schemes or calculations.

Although he appeared to respect Hongjun on the surface, he had the most explosive temper.

During the era of the Innate Divine, Taiyi and Tongtian were known as Ancestral Witches with Primordial Spirits.

As long as the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao clashed, he would inevitably join the fight and immediately follow the Human Dao to attack Hongjun.

Wahuang Heaven, Nuwa.

A shut-in, she was purely watching the show.

Among The Six Sages, she had the best impression of Hongjun.

As for those with the worst impression of Hongjun, besides Yuanshi, there were the Two Sages of the West.

Loans have to be repaid for a lifetime.

Mount Sumeru.

Zhunti looked at Haotian, the jealousy and envy in his eyes uncontrollable.

Gritting his teeth, he whispered to the direction of the Zixiao Palace in the Chaos, the envy, jealousy, and unwillingness in his tone almost overflowing:

"Hateful! How hateful!"

"A top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure! And it's the rarest kind of protective Spirit Treasure! You just gave it away so casually!"

"My Senior Brother and I have worked hard to revitalize the West, running around for a common Innate Spirit Treasure, lowering our Saintly status to scheme against ants, yet you treat such a treasure as a toy for a child and bestow it casually!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could make a move right now to snatch the Seven-Colored Heart-Protecting Pendant.

Hearing Zhunti's audacious words, Jieyin did not try to dissuade him but continuously activated the 12th-grade merit golden lotus to conceal the heavenly secrets.

Clearly, he was also extremely dissatisfied with Hongjun.

Basically, he also belonged to the group that would join the fight immediately.

Jieyin had a grand plan in his heart.

"If there is a chance, I must strip away all of Hongjun's foundation to replenish the West!"

With his foundation, even without completing the forty-eight great aspirations, he could resolve the Karma with the Heavenly Dao.

The perspective returns to the Beiming Sea.

Haotian was completely unaware of the series of reactions caused by Hongjun bestowing the Spirit Treasure.

He now only wanted to hold his daughter and return to the Heavenly Court.

Using his cultivation as a Half-Saint to rule the Primordial World and complete the task given by his master.

"Princess Longji, follow Daddy back to the Heavenly Court, back to our home."

Haotian whispered, his tone full of doting.

He did not linger any longer, his Half-Saint cultivation spreading out with a boom.

With a light swipe of his right hand, the Void Realm was instantly torn open, creating a gentle spatial passage.

Haotian held Princess Longji, his steps steady, and stepped into the spatial passage.

In just an instant, the spatial fluctuations dissipated, revealing the magnificent Innate jade architecture unique to the Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

The gods and generals of the Heavenly Court who had been waiting here for a long time were all standing respectfully.

Venus Star, the Deity of the Water Department of the Heavenly Court, Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden... many important officials of the Heavenly Court all looked respectful, waiting for the Heavenly Emperor to return to his position.

Haotian had completed his tribulation and returned to his position.

The gods of the Heavenly Court had long since known about it through the Luck of the Heavenly Court, and had been waiting here early for his return.
