Chapter 23: Treasure Light Collides with Ox Star (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)

  Riding the Qilin, Shen Gong Bao galloped in the depths of the clouds, constantly scanning all the islands on the sea below. From time to time, he dived down, searching for his desired Xianjia Fudi, but after a long search, Shen Gong Bao still hadn't found a Daochang that satisfied him.

  Just as Shen Gong Bao was flying swiftly across the sky, his body suddenly came to a halt.

  "Huh?" Shěn Gōng Bào exclaimed in surprise, gazing at the distant cyan light that shot straight up into the clouds, his face full of doubt, muttering to himself: "Treasured light rushes against the Cow Dipper, could it be a treasured object?"

  His face suddenly lit up with joy, and he stopped worrying. Perhaps it was a treasure that could be identified at a glance. If it were truly a precious object, it would solve his urgent need for a magic weapon.

  Shen Gong Bao's beast hid to one side, and he quietly descended from the clouds, arriving at a place where brilliant light was bursting forth not far away. His divine sense extended outside his body, and soon Shen Gong Bao's face turned ecstatic with joy, exclaiming: "It's actually it! The Two Instruments Clear and Clean Lamp!"

  Among the various spiritual treasures in the world, they can be roughly divided into three categories. One is the attacking type, such as the Pangu flag. One is the defensive type, such as the Tian Di Xuan Huang Linglong Pagoda. One is the auxiliary type, for example, the Er Yi Qing Jing Lamp in front of you. There are also those who infuse enough merit into spiritual treasures to become Merit Treasures, as well as some special public-use spiritual treasures born to follow the trend of the Heavenly Way, such as the Seal of the Gods List.

  Two instruments of purification, the lamp and the bell. Shengong Bao had also heard that Yuanshi Tianzun mentioned in a lecture that it was an auxiliary Lingbao of the highest order. As for its effect, Yuanshi Tianzun did not mention it, but Shengong Bao could imagine that a Lingbao that could make the proud and arrogant Yuanshi Tianzun praise it would not have ordinary effects.

  It is with Shen Gong Bao's appearance of the two instruments, the clean lamp, deeply etched in his mind, never thinking that he would one day be able to encounter this treasure.

  Only two pure lamps quietly floated in the air, suspended in a valley on an island with no spiritual energy. The surrounding area was shrouded in thick fog. At this time, the two pure lamps burst forth with brilliant light, their beams shooting straight up into the clouds. It seemed that the time had come for them to leave the world, and they were calling out to those who were destined to collect them.

  "Heh heh, could it be that I'm the destined owner of this treasure?" Sheng Gongbao was secretly delighted, having previously sought after the Golden Hoop Rod in vain. This time, however, fortune had smiled upon him, allowing him to encounter such a divine artifact. Without hesitation, Sheng Gongbao swiftly flew towards the location of the treasure.

  Unexpectedly at this moment, a gibbon flew over from the opposite side, shouting: "You Daoist, stop snatching my spiritual treasure!"

  Shen Gong Bao was so furious that he almost lost his breath, but he clearly saw that the ape had also seen the green light and rushed over, and surprisingly claimed that the Two Rituals Clear Lamp belonged to it.

  Shen Gongbao couldn't help but laugh and scolded with a smile: "Mischievous monkey, what is the name of this spiritual treasure?"

  The monkey's face turned red with embarrassment, and he scratched his cheek, muttering to himself, unable to utter the name of the Two Cleanliness Lamps. Lord Leopard couldn't help but burst out laughing. The monkey saw this and let out an angry roar, saying: "Hmph, even if it's not mine, it's not yours either! We'll each show our skills, and the treasure will go to whoever is destined to have it!"

  "Good!" Sheng Gong Bao shouted.

  Shen Gong Bao carefully examined the ape again, discovering that its entire body was covered in yellow and red monkey fur, holding a black iron rod in its hand, staring at him steadily.

  "It's actually a six-eared macaque!" Lord Shen Ba exclaimed, staring at the three pairs of small ears beside the gibbon's ears.

  Six Eared Macaque, good at listening to sounds, able to investigate principles, knows the past and present, all things are clear, one of the four macaques of chaos, unexpectedly encountered by oneself.

  "Haha, as the founder said, 'The Tao is not transmitted to the six ears!'" said Shen Gongbao with a sly smile.

  Six Ears listened, and his monkey face suddenly turned red with rage. He let out a loud roar, raised his iron rod, and was about to charge forward to fight Sheng Gong Bao. He thought that as the oldest of the four monkeys born from chaos, he shouldn't have been treated this way. Back then, he had used his divine power to eavesdrop on Hong Jun's conversation with the Daoist ancestor, but was rebuked by Hong Jun's words "The law is not passed down to Six Ears". As a result, no one dared to teach him how to cultivate, and he could only rely on himself to practice in solitude. After many years of hard work, his cultivation had barely reached the peak of Tian Xian. Seeing other cultivators with inferior roots surpassing him, all of whom were at the level of Da Luo Golden Immortal, Sheng Gong Bao's words struck a sore spot for Six Ears, how could he not be enraged!

  Hong Jun Dao Zu did not dare to provoke, and even in his heart, he did not dare to have a single word of resentment. However, the despicable stinky Taoist in front of him was someone he could vent his anger on. Thus, Liu Er let out an angry roar, and with his iron rod dancing in his hand, he charged towards Shen Gong Bao.

  Having learned from the previous year's beast, Shengong Bao no longer dared to underestimate the strength of these uniquely rooted spiritual creatures. As one of the four apes of chaos, the six-eared macaque, even if it only had a heavenly immortal realm, was not inferior to his own Taiyi Xuanxian in the slightest, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

  The giant sword appeared in Shen Gong Bao's hand, a white light flashed by, and the three-zhang-long whip went straight to the six-eared macaque. The iron rod in the six-eared macaque's hand danced densely, and with a series of loud cracking sounds, it neutralized Shen Gong Bao's attack.

  Shen Gong Bao didn't panic, and with a swift movement of his body, he dodged the attack of Liu Er Mihou. At the same time, he let out a faint smile, whistled softly, and then casually swung out several white sword auras to block Liu Er Mihou's attack, not allowing him to get close.

  Roar! Roar! Roar!

  The six-eared macaque, who was in a fierce battle with Shen Gong Bao, suddenly heard several earth-shaking roars in the sky above. Then, he saw a strange beast with flames all over its body and horns like a lion's head rushing towards him. It was the Year Beast that had been waiting on the side and rushed to answer Shen Gong Bao's call.

  Shen Gong Bao saw this, his expression changed to joy, and he said: "Hold back that mischievous monkey for a moment!" He then went towards the Two Pure Lamps, if it was late, changes would occur, but if they were quick to retrieve this spiritual treasure, they wouldn't let more people come.

  The six-eared macaque immediately understood the intentions of Shen Gong Bao, his face changed, but he was being held back by the Year Beast. The Year Beast's strength was not weak, and its defensive power was even more formidable. Its horns on its head were sharp and powerful, and its tail's whip-like attack was swift and deadly. Even when fighting intensely, Liu Er did not dare to be distracted in the slightest. Alas, he had no choice but to summon his greatest strength, first engaging in a fierce battle with the Year Beast before anything else.

  With the help of Nian Beast, Shen Gong Bao came to the side of Er Ying Qing Jing Lamp with a smile, and stroked his Taoist robe. The two Er Ying Qing Jing Lamps flew into his hands, and at the same time, the cyan light also disappeared. When the spiritual treasure is taken by someone who has fate with it, its innate anomaly will naturally disappear.

  Take a closer look at the two instruments of the Clear and Purifying Lamp. When holding this treasure in one's hand, there is naturally a stream of cool energy that flows along the arm and directly into the heart, making one feel refreshed and invigorated, with all previous fatigue swept away.

  "Good baby! Good baby!" Shen Gongbao praised repeatedly, just simply to the point where it has a refreshing and energizing effect in his hand, but after refining it himself, he doesn't know if its efficacy will be even more astonishing.

  The two-in-one lamp is made of a special material that resembles jade but is not jade, and resembles gold but is not gold. The middle part of the lamp is half black and half white, with a mysterious Taiji diagram at the bottom of the base. The mouth of the lamp is slightly larger, with two lamp wicks inside, one black and one white, matching the black and white colors of the body, just like the yin-yang fish eyes in the Taiji diagram, truly profound and unparalleled.

  Feeling the mysterious aura emanating from the Two Instruments Clear and Pure Lamp, Shen Gong Bao couldn't help but feel delighted, finally having a spiritual treasure that he could show off with, no longer being empty-handed.

  He had originally intended to quickly refine the spiritual treasure and learn of its true effects, but with the problem of the six-eared macaque still unresolved, Shen Gongbao could only put aside his eagerness and pick up the Two Instruments of Purity and Clarity, heading towards where the two beasts were fighting to help the year beast and resolve the trouble.

  At this time, the six-eared macaque and the year beast were fighting with great pleasure. Both of their foundations were extraordinary. Although the six-eared macaque had been cultivating for a long time and its cultivation was slightly higher than that of the year beast, it had never dared to ask anyone to guide its cultivation, fearing that it would displease Hongjun Daozu. Therefore, the six-eared macaque did not understand any profound secrets or techniques, but only relied on some brute force and its own crude staff methods, which were slightly higher than those of the year beast, and fought fiercely with the year beast for a long time.

  Although the Nian beast's cultivation was a bit lower, its defensive power was astonishing. When it was hit by the iron rod of the six-eared macaque, it felt like a mosquito bite, and its roots were not afraid. The Nian beast repeatedly approached the six-eared macaque, allowing itself to be hit, while it raised its tail and struck with its sharp end, "Boom boom boom", and occasionally assisted by the horns on its head, it charged fiercely for a moment, making the six-eared macaque busy and flustered.

  The two beasts were in a fierce battle, and Shengong Bao walked closer, but did not immediately come forward to help the beast. Instead, he stood silently by, pondering for a moment, thinking about how to deal with this six-eared macaque.
