The Dragon Head Crutch, bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun upon the East Prince to govern all immortals, symbolizing his position as the foremost male immortal.
Among Dao Ancestor Hongjun's many treasures, the once unremarkable Dragon Head Crutch suddenly saw its value skyrocket, making it quite excited. It immediately began to show off in the chat group.
[Dragon Head Crutch: Everyone, did you hear? Dao Ancestor Hongjun has appointed the East Prince as the foremost male immortal. I, the Dragon Head Crutch, have also been bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun upon the East Prince as the symbolic treasure of the foremost male immortal. I, the Dragon Head Crutch, have finally seen my day!]
The Dragon Head Crutch sighed with emotion. Although it possessed the grade of a top-tier innate spiritual treasure and was a rare treasure in the Great Desolation, its value also depended on its context. If it were in the Great Desolation, it would undoubtedly attract a large number of cultivators vying for it.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun possessed an abundance of treasures, arguably the most in the Great Desolation. Treasures like the Tai Chi Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Immortal Slaying Sword were either innate supreme treasures or ferocious, malevolent treasures of the Heavenly Dao. Above all, there was the Creation Jade Disk, a supreme treasure of chaos.
Compared to these treasures, the Dragon Head Crutch was indeed unremarkable. It had thought it would rot away amongst them. Now, being bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun upon the East Prince and transformed into the symbolic treasure of the foremost male immortal, it was naturally unable to contain its excitement.
Given Dao Ancestor Hongjun's attitude, it seemed he was handing over the dominion of heaven and earth to the East Prince and the West Queen, the foremost male and female immortals. In that case, wouldn't it be able to leverage its position to become a top entity in the Great Desolation!
However, the Dragon Head Crutch's incessant showing off was soon met with a severe blow from the other magical treasures in the group.
[Measuring Sky Ruler: Got it, got it. It's just the foremost male immortal, what are you blustering about? To tell you the truth, I've even beaten up this foremost male immortal before. Did I show off?]
[Tai Chi Diagram: Exactly, exactly. This foremost male immortal was appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. I am currently still Dao Ancestor Hongjun's treasure. In terms of hierarchy, you are a subordinate treasure of ours. Have I, as a superior treasure, shown off?]
[Pangu Banner: Haha! Indeed, what symbolic treasure of the foremost male immortal? I think you and the Kunlun Mirror have dropped in rank this time!]
[Immortal Slaying Sword: On behalf of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, I extend my deepest sympathies to the Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror!]
[God-Slaying Spear: Honestly, if Dao Ancestor Hongjun hadn't bestowed you upon the East Prince, I wouldn't even know of your existence as a treasure in the Great Desolation.]
[Chaos Bell: Hard to disagree. I've never heard of this magical treasure before.]
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: So, why is this fellow getting so worked up over nothing? Truly.]
The treasures in the group chimed in, each employing their utmost sarcasm. The Dragon Head Crutch felt as if a basin of cold water had been doused over its head, chilling it to the core. However, it still felt indignant and protested.
[Dragon Head Crutch: How can you all be like this? Can't stand to see others prosper, can you? You should know that this foremost male immortal can govern all immortals in the world. Your words are merely born of envy and jealousy!]
[Kunlun Mirror: That's right. Regardless, our master has Dao Ancestor Hongjun as their backer, and can rightfully gather all male and female immortals in the world to unify the Great Desolation!]
[Chaos Bell: Governing all immortals, you say? Unifying the Great Desolation? I'd like to see how the East Prince handles the Wu and Yao tribes. Do you really think my millions of Yao race members are mere decorations?]
[God-Slaying Spear: Exactly. Don't you think it's significant that Dao Ancestor Hongjun, knowing the power of the Wu and Yao tribes, acted this way by appointing the East Prince and West Queen as the foremost male and female immortals?]
[Dragon Head Crutch: Didn't we agree that the Great Desolation was chaotic and that we should feel compassion for the hardship of its inhabitants? You're being alarmist and indulging in conspiracy theories!]
[Kunlun Mirror: Exactly, aren't you just jealous that we're doing well?]
[God-Slaying Spear: Enough. I understand Hongjun better than all of you. You're all just endearingly naive!]
[Dragon Head Crutch: Hmph! You're just jealous! Serves you right for lying in the void, lonely and cold, until you rot!]
The Dragon Head Crutch was naturally displeased. The God-Slaying Spear, as the treasure of Demon Ancestor Luohu, was just like its master, fond of such schemes and stratagems. Its words were clearly intended to undermine its confidence and enthusiasm. How could it possibly fall for such a trick?
As soon as the Dragon Head Crutch finished speaking, the Creation Jade Disk, which had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
[Creation Jade Disk: Sigh, I didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters. But seeing you all like this, I have to tell you a cruel truth.]
[Dragon Head Crutch: !]
[Kunlun Mirror: !]
They might have dismissed what others said, but when the Creation Jade Disk spoke, the Dragon Head Crutch and the Kunlun Mirror's hearts skipped a beat, sensing impending doom. The other magical treasures also fell silent and became serious. The Creation Jade Disk was not only Dao Ancestor Hongjun's most advanced treasure but also the highest-ranking treasure in the Great Desolation. Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun relied on the Creation Jade Disk to comprehend the Great Dao and achieve sainthood, so its words naturally commanded attention.
[Creation Jade Disk: Why do you think Dao Ancestor Hongjun appointed these foremost male and female immortals?]
[Dragon Head Crutch: The Great Desolation is chaotic and disordered, and its inhabitants suffer immensely!]
The Dragon Head Crutch still tried to struggle, saying. However, the Creation Jade Disk's next words left no room for the Dragon Head Crutch's illusions.
[Creation Jade Disk: Enough, who can't spout grand pronouncements? Dao Ancestor Hongjun did this merely to use the East Prince to gather destiny and stabilize his saintly position.]
[Dragon Head Crutch: That's fine too. Since this position was bestowed by him, it's only natural for him to reap the benefits of destiny.]
[Creation Jade Disk: But it's not just that. Dao Ancestor Hongjun's decree to enfeoff the East Prince and West Queen is also to test the attitude of the beings in the Great Desolation, so he can act accordingly in the future.]
[Dragon Head Crutch: This... is actually also acceptable, isn't it? After all, with Dao Ancestor Hongjun as our backer, we should also be safe, right?]
[Creation Jade Disk: Safe, my foot! Do you think you two were chosen among so many treasures for no reason? Do you think the East Prince and West Queen were chosen among so many immortals for no reason?]
[Dragon Head Crutch: Is it because our grade is high?]
[Kunlun Mirror: Is it because the East Prince and West Queen are exceptionally gifted?]
[Tai Chi Diagram: Innate supreme treasures superior to you are passing by!]
[Pangu Banner: Likewise passing by, likewise passing by.]
[Azure Wave Sword: Exceptionally gifted? The Three Pure Ones have something to say.]
[Chaos Bell: The origins of the Three-Legged Golden Crow are also unique in the Great Desolation.]
[Dragon Head Crutch: ]
[Kunlun Mirror: .]
So, the East Prince and West Queen were merely test subjects? Mere pawns of Dao Ancestor Hongjun? And the two of us, these magical treasures, the so-called ones who soar to success when opportune, were merely sacrifices?
