The Western Quasi-Taoist and Jieyin-Taoist, with their words, revealed their ambitions clearly, aiming to seize the remaining treasures from the Treasure Distribution Rock and prepare to rob Xu Fang.
The assembled great powers were not fools, of course, and understood their intentions. However, at this moment, seeing the thousands of treasures on the Treasure Distribution Rock, they were happy to play dumb and stand on the same side as the two from the West.
These thousands of treasures, even if divided equally, meant everyone would get at least one. How could they give that up?
Seeing the standoff, those friendly with Xu Fang, like the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, naturally stepped forward to speak for him.
"Fellow Daoists, Daoist Xu Fang has worked diligently to preside over the distribution of treasures, and has earned great merit. It is only right that he obtains more treasures..."
Tongtian glanced at the treasures on the Treasure Distribution Rock, swallowed, and continued with a heavy heart.
"This is only natural, is it not?"
Tongtian cast a helpless glance at Xu Fang. "Daoist Xu Fang, can't you just leave a little less? You've left so much, it's impossible for me to uphold fairness for you!"
Xu Fang spread his hands, feigning helplessness. These treasures refused to leave, stubbornly clinging to the Treasure Distribution Rock. What could he do?
Taishang and Yuanshi also seemed unsure what to say. They directly landed in front of Xu Fang, their intentions as clear as could be – they stood with Xu Fang.
However, Patriarch Minghe, a master of speaking falsehoods with open eyes, followed Tongtian's lead.
"Exactly, exactly! You all are a bit ungrateful. Aren't you bullying an honest person? I won't agree!"
Patriarch Minghe landed in front of Xu Fang, spitting at the assembled great powers.
Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun, Nuwa and Fuxi, also said little. They silently flew up and landed beside Xu Fang.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird and Ao Xue naturally supported Xu Fang unconditionally. Cursing loudly, they flew to his side.
Dongwanggong and Xiwangmu sighed, said nothing more, and appeared beside Xu Fang.
Seeing Xu Fang's side instantly fill up from being empty, the great powers felt a retreat in their hearts.
This scene was so similar to the battle of Penglai Immortal Island!
Xu Fang's two little followers were negligible. The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the others were all top great powers of the Primordial Era. Would they truly oppose these top great powers for one or two treasures?
Quasi-Taoist and Jieyin-Taoist saw this and sighed. These guys were truly useless!
"Daoist Sanqing, why are you doing this? You've obtained the most treasures, yet you stand with Xu Fang. Could it be... hehe!"
"I never imagined, never imagined that as disciples of the Xuanmen, you would be like this!"
Quasi-Taoist and Jieyin-Taoist continued to stir up trouble, but shifted their focus to the great powers helping Xu Fang.
Their words indeed had a significant effect. The great powers' hearts stirred upon hearing them.
Yes, although the Treasure Distribution Assembly allowed treasures to choose their own masters, Xu Fang was ultimately the one presiding over it. The Three Pure Ones and other great powers had obtained so many treasures, and now they were helping Xu Fang guard them.
While their own strength naturally attracted treasures, this made people suspect there was some underhanded dealing!
The Three Pure Ones and others heard this, their faces filled with anger, and they glared at Quasi-Taoist and Jieyin-Taoist.
"Are you constantly spreading seditious words here, truly fearing that the world is not chaotic enough?"
"It seems you will not learn your lesson without a fight!"
"I don't mind taking action. Daoist Xu Fang, let's fight!"
The Three Pure Ones and others spoke out one after another, making the situation even more tense, with a clear intention of fighting if words failed.
Xu Fang was annoyed. Should he have left fewer treasures in the first place?
Just as both sides were about to clash, a beam of light descended and struck the Treasure Distribution Rock.
"The Treasure Distribution Assembly should be a joyous occasion for all. Why do you need to be like this?"
The voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun echoed. All beings' hearts trembled, and then they saw the thousands of treasures on the Treasure Distribution Rock soar into the air, transforming into countless streams of light and flying towards the Primordial Land.
"Damn it! What is old man Hongjun doing?"
"Wait! I still have something to say. Daoist Xu Fang, remember to come find me!"
"I will return!"
The voices of various treasures floated up, echoing in Xu Fang's ears, and then vanished. The Treasure Distribution Rock was empty.
"This!"
The beings present were all dumbfounded. Dao Ancestor Hongjun was so decisive, scattering countless treasures with a single move!
Xu Fang was also shocked. So decisive! At least leave him some compensation for his hard work!
If you do this, no one will work for you in the future. You'll toil endlessly, only to end up with just the Treasure Distribution Rock?
"Xu Fang, do you have any objections to me doing this?"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice rang out, his gaze falling on Xu Fang as he inquired.
Xu Fang forced a bitter smile. You've already done it, why are you asking me for my opinion!
However, under Hongjun's intense gaze, Xu Fang could only reply.
"No objections."
Xu Fang dared not have any objections. If he did, he might lose the last Treasure Distribution Rock as well.
To prevent Dao Ancestor Hongjun from becoming ruthless, Xu Fang directly put away the Treasure Distribution Rock as he answered.
Let the treasures be lost. He hadn't even seen their appearance clearly anyway. He just hoped this Treasure Distribution Rock wouldn't disappear too!
Dao Ancestor Hongjun gazed steadily at Xu Fang, not detecting any dissatisfaction, and was quite surprised.
This fellow is truly so forbearing that he can remain indifferent even when his opportunities are so greatly undermined?
It seems what Yang Mei said was indeed true, this child is extraordinary, far beyond his imagination!
The opportunities of thousands of treasures were not taken to heart, indicating his ambition was far-reaching and unfathomable.
"Good, that's good."
Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded and said.
"This Treasure Distribution Assembly is now concluded. The remaining treasures are the destiny of the beings in the Primordial Land!"
As Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke, he waved his hand, and with a flash of light, everyone felt their feet solidify. They had returned to Zixiao Palace.
This Treasure Distribution Assembly was now completely over.
Everyone was still in shock. So many treasures had just vanished?
And Xu Fang, at this moment, his gaze swept across the assembled great powers, a slight smile on his face.
Facing his gaze, the great powers involuntarily lowered their heads, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
So many treasures had vanished before their eyes, and it was their bickering that caused Xu Fang to lose his opportunities. Would Xu Fang now hold a grudge against them?
Furthermore, Xu Fang had presided over the distribution and had been kind to everyone present. Instead of repaying him, they had caused him to lose his opportunities, which felt like an act of ingratitude.
Quasi-Taoist and Jieyin-Taoist, however, were unafraid of Xu Fang's gaze, their faces filled with smiles.
What we can't have, you, Xu Fang, won't get either!
Xu Fang looked at the smug smiles on their faces and chuckled.
Alright, now my thoughts are clear again!
