Styx was dumbfounded, Zhenyi was dumbfounded, Zhenyuan was dumbfounded, and Houtu was also stunned. What was going on? Wholesale innate treasures, and two for each person at that! Those were treasures, not trash! Watching this inexplicable master toss them around like garbage, they were all frustrated...
Meanwhile, the gods and demons, seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, were secretly overjoyed. "Hmph, you little brats, scared, aren't you? Completely dumbfounded, aren't you? You little brats, if I don't knock you out, if I don't tell you you're stunned, I'll smash you with innate treasures until you're completely dumbfounded! Hmph, a bunch of country bumpkins, bumpkins, never seen the world before."
With a wave of his hand, the god-demon vanished.
Zhen Yuan asked blankly, "What is Master's Daoist name?"
Kong Xuan frowned, thought for a long, long time, and said, "Do you want to know your master's Daoist name? Do you really want to know? Hmph, I don't know either."
Everyone fainted.
Chapter 30, Section 17: Kongtong Mountain, Kongtong Seal (Thanks - Bonus Chapter)
Mount Buzhou and Mount Kongtong are the cultivation caves of the Qi cultivator Guang Chengzi. White mist swirls around the mountains, and cranes and deer cry out, truly befitting a celestial abode.
Ten days ago, only Guang Chengzi remained on the vast Mount Kongtong. Now, tens of thousands of Golden Immortals and hundreds of thousands below the Heavenly Immortal level have gathered here, with only a handful of Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Among them are immortal cultivators such as Guang Chengzi, Taiyi Zhenren, Yun Zhongzi, and Yu Ding Zhenren, as well as demon cultivators like Wuyun Xian, Jinguang Xian, Lingya Xian, and Chang'er Dingguang Xian. Why are so many immortals gathered here? Ten days ago, Mount Kongtong was peaceful, but at night, a golden light shot into the sky from an unnamed valley, piercing the clouds and filling the entire valley. The dazzling golden light added to the mystery of Mount Kongtong. In the following ten days, immortals and demons continued to appear, increasing to hundreds of thousands, and these people have remained here ever since.
Time slowly passed, and the golden light gradually spread throughout Mount Kongtong. Soon, the golden light enveloped the entire mountain. Then, the golden light stopped spreading and gradually thickened. After eighty-one days, a deafening dragon's roar resounded, and the nameless valley trembled, then rapidly cracked and collapsed. Another dragon's roar followed, and the entire valley vanished, leaving only a seal about ten feet in size slowly circling in the air. As time passed, the seal's rotation gradually accelerated. Suddenly, a blinding golden light appeared, and when everyone opened their eyes again, they saw a nine-clawed divine dragon circling and dancing around the seal. The seal continued to rotate, then two, three... until nine divine dragons appeared. The seal stopped rotating, and the nine divine dragons intertwined and circled the seal, emitting bursts of dragon roars that shook the entire earth.
Everyone was astonished. What kind of treasure was this? It was protected by nine dragons! Judging from its aura, could it be a primordial spiritual treasure? Golden light shone everywhere, and the roars of dragons echoed, as if proclaiming the extraordinary nature of this treasure.
Guang Chengzi was overjoyed and leaped forward to grab the seal, laughing, "This treasure has appeared in my cave; it is rightfully mine!" The others were displeased but remained silent. Suddenly, a streak of black light flashed and shot towards Guang Chengzi. Enraged, Guang Chengzi cried out, "Fellow immortals, help me!" However, apart from Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren releasing their magical treasures to entangle the black light, the other immortals did not react. Jinguang Xian and Lingya Xian also released their magical treasures to entangle Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren, while the black light continued to shoot towards Guang Chengzi. Suddenly, they stopped fighting, for a song drifted from afar: "The Great Awakened Golden Immortal is unique. The Western Wonderful Dharma Patriarch Bodhi; Unborn and undying, practicing the Threefold Path, Full of Qi and Spirit, infinitely compassionate. Empty and still, naturally changing with the times, True Nature, acting as it pleases; Living as long as Heaven, with a majestic body, A teacher who has enlightened the mind through countless kalpas."
Who is this person? He is none other than the Western Daoist Zhunti.
Looking at the seal, the Taoist Zhunti laughed loudly, "I believe this treasure is destined for the West, so I have come to take it." After saying this, he smiled at everyone.
Everyone was furious. How could something from the East have anything to do with something from the West? But they dared not speak. He was a mid-stage Quasi-Saint, while the highest among them was only a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal. He could kill a whole bunch of people with just a breath.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, Zhunti Daoist reached out to take it. In the blink of an eye, a flash of blue light appeared in the distance, and a sword slashed towards Zhunti Daoist. Helpless, the Daoist could only dodge. Tongtian appeared and said, "Isn't it ridiculous that something from the East would be connected with something from the West?"
Lao Tzu and Yuanshi also appeared, as did Jieyin from the West, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Dijun, all demonstrating the extraordinary nature of this treasure.
The Kongtong Seal is a primordial spiritual treasure containing nine dragons, and can only be used by an emperor.
Helpless, Zhunti retreated to Jieyin's side. The three groups of people—Sanqing, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Dijun—did not fight but sat cross-legged in the air as if waiting for something.
On Penglai Island, Kong Xuanyin addressed his fellow disciples and sisters, saying, "I have received a decree from our master, saying that I have a predestined connection with the Kongtong Seal of Buzhou Mountain, and that I am here to retrieve it. Junior Brother Zhenyuan, Junior Brother Zhenyi (Donghuang Taiyi), Junior Brother Tianming (Minghe), you shall all come with me to retrieve it."
Two days later, the three groups of people were still sitting cross-legged around the Kongtong Seal, making no move. After a while, a voice came from the horizon: "I am Kong Xuan. Thank you all for protecting my spiritual treasure. Kong Xuan thanks you." After speaking, he appeared next to the Kongtong Seal.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they remained silent.
Upon seeing Taiyi arrive, Dijun hurriedly flew forward and asked, "Brother, are you alright?"
Zhen Yi replied, "Thank you for your concern, brother. I appreciate it." After a pause, he added, "Brother, the Heavenly Court will depend on you from now on. Please don't blame me."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun angrily exclaimed, "You, you..."
Zhenyi said, "I have become your disciple and been given the Daoist name 'Zhenyi'. From now on, Taiyi will no longer exist, but you will always be my elder brother."
Jieyin and Zhunti were delighted, the Three Pure Ones were delighted, and now only Emperor Jun remained in Heaven, making him easier to deal with.
Overwhelmed with grief, Di Jun coughed up blood and laughed loudly, saying, "Fine, fine, you're all right now. From now on, our brotherhood is severed."
Zhen Yi said with tears in his eyes, "Brother, why bother? I'll explain in detail later." He then said to everyone, "This seal is destined for my senior brother. I've come here today to retrieve it. I thank all of you fellow Daoists for your patience. Zhen Yi thanks you all."
