Boom!
An explosion sounded.
A crimson sea of fire rose from the mountain and exploded, burning it into nothingness.
Only a few pieces of crystal clear glass stained with the Five Spirit Divine Fire were left on the spot. They exploded and fell from the sky.
Even the ground within ten thousand miles was set ablaze.
Maitreya, who was fighting fiercely with the monster Nine Neonate transformed from Daoist Yu Ding.
They were alarmed by the sudden change on the barren mountain and the raging sea of fire under their feet.
"Not good. There are still people hiding in the dark, watching me fight with the Nine Neonate. They secretly snuck into the desolate mountain and took the treasure.”
His expression changed and he instantly reacted.
Then, he left Daoist Yu Ding behind and used an escape technique. He turned into a golden light and rushed toward the barren mountain that had been burned into nothingness like a stream of light.
"Elder, we've already obtained the treasure.”
At this moment, a rough voice came from below.
Then, a streak of blue light that was filled with a strong demonic aura, and the head of a tiger that could be vaguely seen flashing past, rushed out from the spot where the barren mountain had been burned to the north.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Although Xu Qiu tried his best to hide it, Perfected Yu Ding, who had transformed into the Nine Neonate, could still hear that the rough voice that spoke just now was his junior brother.
Knowing that Xu Qiu was informing him that he had already obtained the treasure, Perfected Yu Ding was amused.
"This junior brother of mine is really good. I don't know where he got a fox demon's corpse from. Now, he really framed the demons for this matter.”
Daoist Yu Ding thought to himself.
His cultivation was higher than Maitreya, so he could see it clearly.
Xu Qiu, who had just rushed out of the barren mountain and the sea of fire, was clearly holding a charred black fox corpse in his hand.
He used the demonic aura on his body as a cover.
"However, I've finally achieved my goal of finding a protective treasure for Junior Brother.”
Thinking of this, Immortal Yu Ding didn't stay any longer. A black demonic cloud rose from his body and flew towards the north.
That was the habitat of the demons…
In the blink of an eye, the Nine Neonate transformed by Perfected Yu Ding and the tiger demon transformed by Xu Qiu disappeared into the horizon.
Only the exasperated Maitreya was left standing in the air. He looked at the barren mountain that had been burned into nothingness by the Five Spirits Divine Fire and disappeared on the spot. He was flustered and exasperated.
"Demon race, my Spirit Mountain is irreconcilable with you.”
Maitreya looked at Xu Qiu and Perfected Yu Ding who were fleeing, his eyes filled with hatred.
The barren mountain where the treasure appeared was burned into nothingness. The surroundings turned into a sea of fire, and the treasure disappeared.
Needless to say, the treasure must have been snatched away by the group of demons that he had just fought with.
However, he really did not expect that the group of demons would be so cunning.
Other than sending an expert to fight him head-on and stall him, he also sent another demon to sneak into the desolate mountain and take away the treasure.
"A mere declining demon race dares to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and go against the West. Just you wait. I'll go back and report to the Saint. This matter isn't over.”
Maitreya put away the Devil-rinsing Pestle in his hand. With a cold expression, he turned around and transformed into a golden stream of light. He used an escape technique to leave.
He was not sure if the demon who had stolen the treasure had other accomplices. He was afraid of being ambushed, so he did not dare to rashly chase after them.
……
Mount Kunlun.
Not far from the Jade Palace, in Xu Qiu's cave abode.
"Thank you for your help this time, senior brother Yu Ding. Otherwise, with my strength, I really wouldn't have been able to obtain this treasure.”
Sitting on the stone chair, a swaying white lotus that was emitting a faint light floated in Xu Qiu's palm. It was the World Cleansing White Lotus. Xu Qiu said to Perfected Yu Ding, who was sitting beside him.
"I was only able to stop you for a moment. That Maitreya in the west was the only one who could get the treasure.”
Hearing this, the sage-like Perfected Yu Ding stroked his beard and smiled.
Of course, Xu Qiu knew that this was actually just Daoist Master Yu Ding's polite words.
If Immortal Yu Ding hadn't come to him and told him about the birth of the White Lotus of Purification, he wouldn't even know about it. How could he have gotten it?
As far as he knew, the White Lotus of Purification seemed to have become the magic weapon of Saint Zhunti, the leader of the Western Religious Sect.
In other words, if Yu Ding didn't tell him the news of the treasure's appearance and help him get it, he would be able to get it.
This treasure would eventually be obtained by the disciple of the Western Sage, Maitreya.
In order to win the favor of the Sage, he finally presented it to the Western Sage Zhunti.
This was equivalent to snatching food from the mouth of a Saint.
However, when they took the treasure, they all changed their forms and turned into demons. Maitreya thought that the demons were stealing his treasure.
They were the disciples of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi under Jade Mirage.
Blessed by the fate of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and protected by the powers of the Saints.
Even if Maitreya told the Sage Zhunti of the West about this, he probably wouldn't be able to deduce that it was the two of them who did it.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother. This World Cleansing White Lotus is actually a Connate Numinous treasure, and a superior-grade one at that.”
Perfected Yu Ding saw through the grade of the White Lotus of Purification at a glance and hurriedly congratulated Xu Qiu.
Even Connate Numinous treasures were graded according to their power.
There were ordinary, high-grade, and top-grade.
In this era where Connate Numinous treasures already had owners, even ordinary Connate Numinous treasures were rare, let alone superior-grade Connate Numinous treasures.
"It's all thanks to Senior Brother Yu Ding. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to obtain a Protocosmic spirit-treasure.
Xu Qiu thanked him with a smile.
"Right, Senior Brother Yu Ding, this is the Innate Divine Water Origin True Water that I obtained from the pond that nurtured the World Cleansing White Lotus when I was collecting it.”
"Unfortunately, due to the nurturing of the World Cleansing White Lotus, it has exhausted its innate spiritual light and has completely degenerated into an acquired object.”
"But no matter what, this water used to be innate divine water. Take some back and use it to brew the Comprehension Spiritual Tea. It should have a miraculous effect.
Xu Qiu retracted the World Cleansing White Lotus in his palm and took out a palm-sized hundred jade bottle that contained some water from the pool.
This white jade bottle was just a spatial magic treasure that Xu Qiu had casually refined using ordinary materials.
It could barely be considered an immortal artifact.
However, the space inside was far from the space in the Four Seas Bottle where Xu Qiu collected the water from the pool.
"Alright, since junior brother is sincere, then it would be impolite for senior brother to refuse.”
Yu Ding also knew that if he did not accept it, Xu Qiu would probably feel bad, so he took the white jade bottle.
Indeed, he liked to drink the Comprehension Spiritual Tea. If it was paired with the water from the pond that was formed from the degenerate innate divine water, it would be a perfect match.
