Chapter 153 The Bestowal of a Precious Treasure
These three streams of pure energy were extremely fast. They had just appeared in the sky, still carrying the huge palace with them, when they returned to Kunlun Mountain in the next moment. With a loud bang, the palace descended from the sky and pressed down on the top of Kunlun Mountain, standing tall among the three palaces.
Strangely enough, although this palace is not small, it is no larger than the three palaces of Bajing Palace, Yuxu Palace, and Biyou Palace. Compared with the area on the summit of Kunlun Mountain, it is not only a drop in the ocean, but also a tiny fraction.
Yet this unremarkable palace weighed down the entire Kunlun Mountain, causing it to creak and groan. It seemed that even this second most sacred mountain in the primordial world was struggling to bear the weight of the palace.
Upon seeing this, Guang Chengzi immediately threw out the Eight Trigrams Furnace and the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, and even activated the Boundless Great Array. The three treasures transformed into a jade platform, forcefully lifting the palace by a distance, which barely stabilized Kunlun Mountain.
Even so, Guang Chengzi's expression changed drastically. He felt his magical power surge out like a flood, being forcefully absorbed by the three treasures and transformed into the power that supported the palace.
This is the Pangu Palace.
The palace transformed from Pangu's head!
Mount Buzhou was formed from the spine of Pangu. The Pangu Palace stands on the top of Mount Buzhou, which is equivalent to placing the head on the spine. It is a perfect fit and should be so, so there will be no changes.
However, since Mount Kunlun was formed from the left rib of Pangu, it was originally just a branch of the spine. Now that it is used to support the head, it is naturally under great pressure.
It's not that Kunlun Mountain is inferior to Buzhou Mountain. After all, it is the second most sacred mountain in the prehistoric world and the source of the ancestral veins of the East. Kunlun Mountain is not so bad.
Rather, each profession has its own expertise. Kunlun Mountain itself is not a mountain that forms a spine to support the structure. It's like replacing the beams in a room with solid ice. Solid ice is not necessarily inferior to beams, but the two serve different purposes.
A runner who tries to jump the long jump may not necessarily jump far, but they will definitely not be as good as someone who specializes in long jump.
To achieve the same effect, Kunlun Mountain would have to put in far more effort than Buzhou Mountain.
Fortunately, the Three Pure Ones noticed this and immediately separated a Corpse God to reside in the Three Palaces. They used their magic power to support the Pangu Palace and stabilize it. Only then was the palace finally settled.
Guang Chengzi also breathed a sigh of relief, slightly exhaling a bit of the Dao of Morality, and his entire body's magical power immediately surged.
At this moment, the Three Pure Ones descended from the sky and returned to Mount Kunlun.
At this moment, they were all in high spirits. Even Lao Tzu, who was usually unassuming, rarely showed his emotions on the surface. He was extremely happy, clearly having accomplished something great.
At this moment, Guang Chengzi led his many disciples to bow down, loudly proclaiming, "Disciples pay homage to the Three Heavenly Venerables, wishing them boundless longevity, eternal peace, and everlasting bliss!"
The voices of numerous immortals rose high, and with Guang Chengzi, a Great Golden Immortal, personally leading the way, countless worlds were shaken. Many ancient gods of the universe raised their eyes and looked at this majestic divine mountain that supported the endless universe.
Looking at Kunlun Mountain, which was so much better than when they left, the Three Pure Ones were very satisfied. Tongtian, in particular, laughed heartily, feeling that what he had done was really good. It was indeed necessary to let Guangchengzi take care of it!
"Good, good, good! Guangchengzi, you have indeed lived up to my expectations and managed the Shangqing lineage so well. I said before that I would reward you, but I couldn't think of what to give you. However, I have obtained quite a few good things on this trip, and now I can share some with you."
After a moment of contemplation, Tongtian flicked his sleeve, and three beams of light shot out, each containing a treasure of a different shape.
These treasures were all radiant and auspicious, and as soon as they were taken out, joyful sounds filled the world. Dragons and phoenixes appeared, dragons and phoenixes resonated, and countless rainbows filled the sky and earth, creating a scene of good fortune and auspiciousness.
To possess such extraordinary phenomena without even using one's supernatural powers, these treasures must be extraordinary treasures, at least top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Moreover, the fact that three of them appeared at once shows the generosity of Tongtian!
Even the usually composed Guang Chengzi was somewhat hesitant to accept this, and hurriedly said, "I am the eldest disciple of Yuxu Palace, and it is only right that I manage Biyou Palace on behalf of my master. How could I dare to ask for such a treasure? Please accept it and give me something else instead."
Tongtian, however, was the type of person who couldn't tolerate being refused. He waved his hand and said, "Since I've given you these things, they're yours. Don't give them to me again. You can keep them yourself. Besides, my elder brothers have things for you too."
At this point, Tongtian blinked, clearly implying that he wanted his elder brothers to bleed.
Guang Chengzi had no choice but to look at Yuanshi Tianzun, who simply smiled and told him to accept it. At this moment, Laozi also said, "I also have something for you on this trip, as a reward for your suppression of Buzhou Mountain these past few days."
After saying this, Laozi also flicked his sleeve, and two more beams of light flew out. Although there was one less than the treasure that Tongtian had taken out, the phenomena that they produced were no less impressive, and it was clear that the quality was better.
Guang Chengzi looked at Yuanshi Tianzun again, and Yuanshi Tianzun nodded with a smile.
He then thanked the two celestial beings and put the five treasures into his pocket.
Seeing that his second brother hadn't given anything and that they were the ones who had to pay the price, Tongtian was displeased and immediately shouted, "Second brother, you can't be so unfair! We, as your senior uncles and elder brothers, are giving your disciple all these treasures. How can you, as the master, just stand by and watch without giving a single hair? This is too disrespectful!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun smiled enigmatically and said, "What I want to give him is not something I can give him now, nor is it some treasures. I want to teach him everything I can learn."
Seeing this, Tongtian muttered something, but ultimately said nothing more.
Just then, a large number of immortals flew swiftly from afar, with Duobao and his seven attendant immortals at the head, followed by many Shangqing immortals who were close to them.
Their trip wasn't out of disrespect or disregard for their master's return; rather, their cultivation was insufficient, and they simply failed to spot the three Celestial Venerables.
Guang Chengzi was a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Although he was only a Tai Su Great Luo, his perception was millions of times farther than that of Duobao, who was only a half-step Great Luo. Naturally, he was able to lead the immortals to greet him in advance.
As for not informing Duobao Guangchengzi, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. After all, Duobao is the top disciple of Biyou Palace, so how could we let him, the top disciple of Yuxu Palace, go and inform him? That would be too disrespectful to the other party.
So after a while, it became clear that Guang Chengzi respected Tongtian more, while Duobao, the eldest disciple, seemed somewhat indifferent.
