Originally, the birth of the Yellow Center Plum was a joyous occasion for all, and Xu Fang was also incredibly happy for his elder sister, Huang Da Jie.
However, as the magical treasures in the chat group revealed their true intentions, Xu Fang was instantly jolted awake.
While this was a good thing, it had come at a most inconvenient time!
If only he had refined Penglai Island and Fangzhang Island first, he could have used his divine abilities to conceal the commotion of the Yellow Center Plum's birth and protect it, allowing it to emerge smoothly.
But now, due to his need to deal with matters on Yingzhou Island and prepare for the future, he had returned to the East Sea without having had the chance to refine Penglai Island and Fangzhang Island.
As a result, the stir caused by the Yellow Center Plum's birth could not be concealed and would inevitably attract a great deal of attention.
At that time, the powerful beings of the Primordial Era would be drawn in, placing not only the Yellow Center Plum in a perilous situation of being surrounded by wolves, but also exposing Penglai Island and Fangzhang Island to their gaze.
The emergence of the legendary Penglai Immortal Island and the appearance of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots – any one of these would undoubtedly attract the attention of the great powers of the Primordial Era.
Then, they would simultaneously express their surprise at the great fortune the Primordial Era was experiencing, while also engaging in a struggle for Penglai Immortal Island and the Yellow Center Plum.
Even if Xu Fang spoke of the principle of "first come, first served," with opportunities right before their eyes, how could they easily give them up?
Upon thinking of this, Xu Fang was at a loss for words.
"Big Sister, why couldn't you have held on a little longer and waited for a better time to be born?"
Xu Fang couldn't help but complain. Why not be born earlier or later, but precisely at this critical juncture? Wasn't this just making themselves a target?
However, Xu Fang also understood that he couldn't entirely blame the Yellow Center Plum.
As one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, it was the greatest fortune among spiritual roots, but it was also subject to many constraints, and its birth depended on the will of heaven.
The most important thing now was not to complain about this or that, but to figure out how to resolve the matter.
In the chat group, listening to the eager words of the Chaos Bell and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, the Yellow Center Plum and the Measure-Heaven Ruler also came to their senses.
[Yellow Center Plum: Holy crap! So this is what you guys have been plotting! Don't you dare come over here! Can you guys rein it in? You're drooling all over the place! If you keep this up, I won't be polite anymore!]
[Measure-Heaven Ruler: We're all in the same chat group. You guys better not have any intentions towards the Yellow Center Plum, or he and I won't let you off!]
The Yellow Center Plum and the Measure-Heaven Ruler issued a stern declaration to the Chaos Bell, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and other magical treasures, aware of the seriousness of the situation, trying to curb the greed of the numerous treasures.
With the leading elder brother and sister speaking up, the treasures aligned with Xu Fang immediately followed suit, speaking one after another.
[Ruyi Golden Cudgel: Exactly, exactly! You want to plot against our Penglai Island, do you think I, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, can't poke through you?]
[Six Roots of Purity Bamboo: Whoever dares to come over, I'll be the first to seal them off!]
[Treasure Dropping Gold Coin: Come, come, I'm still one chance away from getting promoted, I don't mind refining you guys!]
[Sea-Calming Divine Pearl: That's right, the interns of the Xu Fang Treasure Group request to enter the battle!]
[Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda: Everyone, this is a battle to defend our Penglai Immortal Island, a glorious battle! We will fight to the death!]
[Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle: We will definitely teach them a lesson for daring to attack our treasure-hunting team's territory!]
Led by the Yellow Center Plum and the Measure-Heaven Ruler, the treasures aligned with Xu Fang all expressed their stance in the chat group.
Some spoke righteously, while others spoke fearlessly of battle, attempting to intimidate the covetous desires of the numerous treasures and make them abandon their schemes for Penglai Immortal Island and the Yellow Center Plum.
The other treasures in the group were astonished by this all-out offensive.
[God-Slaying Spear: What the heck! Did that little Plum get so many treasures under him when he made the declaration?]
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: Alright, alright, we know you have many treasures and are powerful. Stop putting on such a show here to scare people, okay?]
[Chaos Bell: Exactly, exactly. I don't know what the group owner is thinking, but why is it that everywhere I look, it's all treasures on your side?]
[Coiled Dragon Flat Crutch: I have to admit, this chat group has become Xu Fang's territory. Even we treasures of the Three Pure Ones can't compete!]
[Enlightenment Tea Tree: Accumulating bit by bit has become a trend. Little Plum's foresight is truly admirable!]
[Creation Jade Butterfly: Although I am in a class of my own among the treasures of the Primordial Era, seeing this, I am truly convinced.]
The treasures in the group marveled at Xu Fang's faction.
Unknowingly, Xu Fang had already accumulated so many treasures. At this moment, they all spoke up, instantly dominating the chat group and making it difficult to resist.
Seeing this, Xu Fang's heart stirred. He never expected there would be a day when he could use numbers to bully others.
"However, although it feels a bit like victory without honor, it should be enough to suppress the covetous intentions of these treasures, right?"
Xu Fang thought to himself. Regardless, as long as these treasures didn't get any ideas and interfere with the Yellow Center Plum's birth, that would be fine.
The Yellow Center Plum, the Measure-Heaven Ruler, and other treasures, seeing that the intentions of the other treasures had been suppressed, felt immensely relieved and busied themselves announcing their success in the group.
[Yellow Center Plum: Haha! I finally didn't misjudge this little Plum. He truly is the brother that I, Yellow Center Plum, have chosen. Now, my birth should be without worries!]
[Measure-Heaven Ruler: Haha! Although it feels a bit like bullying with our numbers, I don't know why, but I feel so exhilarated. I'm truly embarrassed!]
[Ruyi Golden Cudgel: Me too!]
[Six Roots of Purity Bamboo: Me too!]
[Drawing Pole Fangtian Halberd: Me too!]
With the leading elder brother and sister speaking, the treasures aligned with Xu Fang added their agreement one after another, expressing their joy.
This was the victory of the Xu Fang Treasure Group!
They had successfully used their advantages, powerfully asserted their presence, and resolved an imminent crisis. At this moment, each of them was irrepressibly excited.
However, reality often likes to deliver a blow. Soon, a few basins of cold water were poured over them.
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: No way, no way! You guys actually think you've won?]
[Chaos Bell: I admit you have many treasures and are powerful. Even the supreme treasures of our demon race have to concede, but you're celebrating too soon!]
[Coiled Dragon Flat Crutch: Exactly, exactly! Even if we give you face, when the Yellow Center Plum is born, our respective masters will sense it. Will they truly sit idly by and miss such an opportunity?]
[Book of Earth: So, what's the point of you guys trying to intimidate here? It seems to be of no use!]
[Enlightenment Tea Tree: Yeah, this situation is really helpless!]
The other treasures in the group spoke up, and the happy mood of Xu Fang's faction quickly cooled down.
