Chapter 69: Divide Treasure Cliff

  Cang Xiong glared at Zhuang Zhou and said, "I'm giving the boss face, I won't stoop to your level. Let's focus on the main issue."

  Zhuang Zhou let out a disdainful "pfft" sound, but didn't say anything.

  Cang Xiong said, "I, Cang Xiong, may look silly, but I'm not stupid. Otherwise, how could I be an evil corpse? It's just that sometimes I get a bit impulsive." As soon as he spoke, even Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but nod in agreement. At this point, it was clear that no one was really stupid, it was just a matter of whether they were willing to think or act first. Cang Xiong naturally wouldn't be considered truly foolish either. It seemed that usually, everyone was just pretending. Anyway, there were many unbelievable things happening around Zhuang Xiong, so everyone had gotten used to it and didn't bother to suspect anything anymore.

  Xiong said, "At the time, I felt that the treasure cliff was not right. After observing for half a day, I decided to try it out anyway. Later, when I saw that the boss didn't stop me, but instead seemed thoughtful, I knew there was a way in. So I just went ahead and started working on it. Even if I couldn't move it, the boss would help me out in the end. I took possession of it first, and with the boss's reputation at stake, who would dare to take it from me? Later, when Sanqing arrived, the boss changed his expression, and I knew he was going to put on a show. I had already made preparations to cooperate."

  Zhuang Xiong looked at Cang Xiong's smug expression and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, thinking to himself "Isn't it obvious what I'm doing? Can even Cang Xiong see through me? No wonder Father suspects something."

  Zhuang Zhou smiled and said, "Old Big Brother, it's not that you're acting poorly, but rather we understand you too well. Others may not think deeply about it, but I'm a person with many thoughts. You've been in this line for so long, yet you've never suffered any losses, always gaining benefits from your mistakes. It's hard for me not to be suspicious."

  Zhuang Xiong thought carefully, and couldn't help but feel a cold sweat. Was it really that obvious? Seeing that Cang Xiong was also staring blankly, he said: "You continue speaking, we haven't gotten to the main topic yet."

  Cang Xiong said, "Oh" and continued: "Then there's nothing else, right? I cooperated with the boss, that was seamless. Then Ba Bao Ya took it back, and the boss even put me in the Qian Kun fan, shutting their mouths. Don't you all know this already?"

  Zhuang Xiong's face turned black with anger, and he shouted: "Who told you to say this? I'm saying, since you know that Fen Bao Ya is a good treasure, after studying it in the Qian Kun fan for so long, what have you discovered? What kind of treasure is it?"

  Cang Xiong suddenly enlightened, scratched his head and smiled foolishly: "So that's what the boss meant."

  Zhuang Xiong angrily said: "Stop pretending to be stupid, hurry up and get to the point."

  Cang Xiong immediately replied concisely, "My cultivation is limited, my attributes are limited, I haven't discovered anything. It's just confirmed that it's a good treasure, and I was about to report to the boss, let the boss study it yourself."

  Zhuang Xiong's face turned almost iron-green, and this time Cang Xiong was as fast as Zhuang Zhou, "whooshing" back to the Purple Mansion. Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but roar: "You two useless things! And in the future, don't enter and exit without warning like this, I will definitely find a way to block the entrance!"

  However, the two corpses had long since sunk into the Purple Mansion and closed their doors for cultivation. They pretended they hadn't heard Zhuang Xiong's words.

  Zhuang Xiong was unable to decide for a moment, hesitating over whether to first examine the Fen Bao Cliff or study the video recording device. Never mind, since he already had the Fen Bao Cliff in his possession, he could research it anytime and wasn't in urgent need of the Lingbao. He might as well focus on studying the video recording device first, after all, Nuwa spent more time with the You tribe every day, getting deeper into the cycle of cause and effect.

  So Zhuang Xiong returned to the pile of materials and the Qian Kun Ding, and began to ponder. This, video recording requires concave lenses and convex lenses, but what is a still image? And sound, how do you record it? Zhuang Xiong felt that if others could research it, why couldn't he? So he started experimenting with various materials.

  Unfortunately, as the original said, Zhuang Xiong's alchemy level relied solely on a single Ding of Qian Kun. After painstaking research for thousands of years, there was no result, and instead, countless materials were ruined. Zhuang Xiong had to give up and thought: "Even if I successfully researched it, if Nüwa didn't believe me, she would think I'm faking it. If she believed me, then not having these things wouldn't be a problem either. Moreover, Nüwa is almost a saint now, so she'll definitely understand later? It's more important for me to study the Fen Bao Cliff that belongs to me."

  But since this guy is so clear, why bother studying for a thousand years? Is it to make a realistic version of the Honghuang movie? Or, just because there's no result, he found an excuse for himself?

  Zhuang Xiong is also a person who forgets things quickly, and after taking out the treasure map, he soon began to study it seriously, forgetting about the embarrassing incident earlier.

  On this side, Zhuang Gong was studying the Fen Bao Cliff, while on that side, Emperor Jun had basically unified the You tribe and began to prepare for the conquest of the Long tribe. He sent Bai Ze as an envoy to persuade the Long tribe to surrender. The Long tribe had been unable to wage war against the Hong Huang since the Great War of the Three Tribes and had been hiding its strength in obscurity. At this time, when the You tribe came to their doorstep, they knew that refusal was not an option, so they agreed. Bai Ze accompanied them to the Heavenly Court, where they submitted a petition of surrender.

  When good things happen, people's spirits are lifted. It is said that good fortune never comes in pairs, but Emperor Jun has encountered another good thing. In the beginning, Emperor Jun met Changxi and Xihe from the Moon Palace at the Purple Mansion, and he fell in love with them at first sight. He then pulled out Nüwa to be their matchmaker. Changxi was still considering it, while Xihe thought that Emperor Jun was a typical rich and handsome man of the Primordial Era, so she agreed at this time.

  Emperor Jun was overjoyed and immediately arranged for the heavenly court to prepare for the wedding, sending out invitations far and wide, even Zhuang Xiong received one. Moreover, Emperor Jun also required that on the day of the grand wedding, the dragon tribe would submit a petition to surrender, symbolizing double happiness arriving at the door, and all the heads of the various tribes and departments of the demon clan must attend to celebrate, foretelling the unification of the demon clan.

  Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but feel a hint of conspiracy, although it was a joyful occasion, ordinary people would have some reservations, but Emperor Jun was a person who prioritized conspiracy above all else. If he could use the grand wedding to gain the upper hand, Zhuang Xiong feared that Emperor Jun would not hesitate.

  He didn't think that Emperor Jun would do something like this, and such baseless speculation wasn't in line with his character anyway. Besides, Emperor Jun's grand wedding was still hundreds of years away, and he hadn't planned on attending it himself. For now, it was better to just ignore it. Looking at the distribution of the Precious Cliff was more important.

  As Zong Xiong's primordial spirit polished deeper, the spiritual treasure also gradually revealed itself. However, it was still wrapped in a chaotic original stone on the outside, while inside was an exquisite and elegant palace.

  That outer chaotic primal soil was extraordinary, containing the innate Wutu Lingqi. When it stood on the ground, it blended with ordinary rocks and stones, making it difficult to detect. However, within it contained the Chaotic Lingqi. After the Heaven's creation, especially after the Great War of the Three Clans, hardly anyone could recognize it anymore. The Chaotic Lingqi was all-encompassing and could block divine senses, so even if someone felt something was off, they couldn't detect it. But Zhuang Xiong happened to be the Earth Spirit, and he had merged with the essence of 3,000 demons in Xi Wangmu's Peach Garden, where he absorbed a hint of the Chaotic energy, allowing him to discover it.

  That palace is also a spatial treasure, although it is contained within the hundred-zhang-square Split Treasure Cliff, but in fact, after enlargement, it can occupy ten thousand miles of land. Of course, even if not enlarged, the space inside is also ten thousand miles square. It uses spatial skills, with the same ingenuity as the Qiankun fan, but the Qiankun fan is a mountain and landscape, while the palace is a residence, and cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

  Zhuang Xiong looked inside again, and the palace had its own rare flowers and grasses, with a rich spiritual energy, and even some remnants of the primordial spiritual energy. Among them, there were countless large and small rooms and palaces, which seemed to be arranged in a certain mysterious formation. Zhuang Xiong couldn't see any doors for the time being. The strangest thing was that this palace was obviously a spiritual treasure, but Zhuang Xiong couldn't tell what level it was.

  Zhuang Xiong was also the first to come into contact with such a spiritual treasure, and his primordial spirit scanned it several times, but he couldn't find the true spirit of the treasure. The spirituality of the treasure seemed to be scattered throughout the entire palace, and wasn't confined to one place. Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but feel a headache, as this was such a large spiritual treasure, yet he could only use his primordial spirit to refine and cultivate it. How many years and months would it take to refine it? However, this kind of cave mansion spiritual treasure was indeed novel, and also matched his own attributes so well, Zhuang Xiong naturally wouldn't give up, and could only slowly refine it bit by bit.

  But no mention was made of Zhuang Xiong's tragic failure to refine the Lingbao here. Emperor Jun widely sent out invitations, and even Zhuang Xiong received one; naturally, everyone else did too. The Old Master of the Three Pures was indifferent, but Yuanshi was the most displeased with this kind of troublemaker. Even Tongtian had no good feelings towards Emperor Jun. With the attitude of the Three Pures, they would not bother with Emperor Jun and went back to closed cultivation. Meanwhile, Zhenyuanzi received the invitation and was momentarily at a loss; that Red Cloud had also run off somewhere unknown. He then came to Mount Emei to discuss with Zhuang Xiong, which was also a good opportunity to familiarize himself with the route.

  Zhuang Xiong was disturbed by Zhen Yuanzi and had to leave the pass. Upon hearing that Zhen Yuanzi came to Emei for a reason, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "You say you're a good person, Zhen Yuanzi, what about Di Jun? He's a typical troublemaker, full of evil intentions in his heart. What kind of relationship can you have with him? Be careful or he'll sell you out without you even knowing."

  Zhenyuanzi smiled and said, "I understand the principle, but I am not a disciple of Daozu, nor do I have the high cultivation of Daoyou. Emperor Jun has come to invite me, if I don't go, it would be somewhat inappropriate, and I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future."

  Zhuang Xiong impatiently said: "What's there to worry about with such a small matter? I'm the one who gave you that magnificent couplet. You can just stay here on Mount Emei and say that I'm holding you back from discussing the Tao, I'd like to see what Emperor Jun dares to do to me."

  Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but smile wryly, secretly regretting: "I should have known better than to come and ask Dumb Bear for ideas. What good idea could this guy possibly have?" But Zhuang Xiong's words had already been spoken, where could he still leave? He pulled Zhen Yuanzi and wouldn't let go, leaving Zhen Yuanzi with no choice but to stay.

  So many years passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhong Xiong had only roughly refined the Lingbao. Suddenly, the Tian Ting was again filled with the sound of the Dong Huang Bell, and Emperor Jun's solemn voice rang out: "The Wu tribe disregards the Heavenly Way and disrespects the Heavenly Court. I will lead the heavenly army to punish them."

  The atmosphere between heaven and earth seemed to tense up at the same time as Emperor Jun's words came out, as if the air was filled with endless killing intent. Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but stare blankly, how did it come to this? Did he miss something?
