Chapter 18: Golden Lotus of Merit, Jade Disc of Creation
“Fellow Daoist Hongjun, how are you?”

Taihao looked at Hongjun and spoke lightly.

Only then did he realize that Hongjun, the Taoist Patriarch, was actually a little unstable.

It seems that Hongjun already knows that I am a candidate. This old Taoist is a little panicked! Hahaha!
Taihao was secretly happy.

“I have recently made some deductions and found that Luo Hou, the great demon, may be looking for a few more helpers. Fellow Daoist Taihao must pay more attention to this!”

Hongjun took a deep breath and suddenly said something meaningful.

What do you mean?
Implying that I should not stand on the side of Luohou?
Careful?

It’s you who should be concerned, right?
Thinking of this, Taihao’s expression became a little subtle, but soon he became calm again.

“In order to cultivate the Law of Killing and the Law of Destruction, Luohou has made the prehistoric world a mess with evil spirits! If we can kill him, it will definitely be a great merit. If fellow Daoist Hongjun is interested, you and I can join forces! I am determined to achieve the Primordial Chaos and emulate the Three Thousand Demon Gods to attain enlightenment in the Primordial Chaos. Unfortunately, without great merit and great luck, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass this level!”

Imitate the three thousand demons?

Isn’t that the same as Yang Mei?
Hongjun’s heart was shaken, the whisk in his hand trembled slightly, and even his voice did the same.

This shows how restless he is inside.

Taihao’s words seemed to give an unusual hint!

On the other side, Zulong couldn’t help but speak up when he heard Taihao’s words, expressing his admiration.

“Daohao, you have great courage! I, Zulong, am ashamed of myself!”

At this time, Hongjun spoke again, and he could not hide his excitement.

“Fellow Daoist, you have such an ambition? I admire you! If you need anything, please let me know. As long as I can help, I will never refuse!”

“Daozu”, you have to stay calm!
Taihao had an idea. Hongjun, the Taoist Patriarch, has a lot of good things in his hands. If he could get a few of them, that would be great, right?
So, Taihao continued speaking along with Hongjun’s words without feeling embarrassed at all.

“Okay then, I need it right now!”

Tai Hao couldn’t help but think, if he used the Jade Disc of Creation to deduce the Freedom Method of Visualizing Billions of River Sands…

It must be so fast that it’s unimaginable, right?
“Daoyou Taihao, if you need anything, just tell me…”

Hongjun’s heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason.

“My cultivation seems to have stagnated recently, and it’s very slow! It takes three or four epochs to break through to the late stage of Quasi-Sage! This is really too long! I wonder if fellow Daoist Hongjun has any treasure that can speed up my cultivation?”

Taihao rubbed his hands and smiled.

Ok?
Is this a request for help?

Isn’t this blatant robbery?

For a moment, Hongjun didn’t know what to say, because he just made a casual polite remark, but he didn’t expect Taihao to be so… tactful?
But he had already said it!
Hongjun pondered for a moment, took out a magic treasure and said.

“Daoyou Taihao, this is the Heaven and Earth Map, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Although its attack is not very powerful, it has a strong auxiliary effect in cultivation! It helped me a lot when I was still a Daluo! Now I am giving it to you!”

Map of heaven and earth?

A top-grade innate spiritual treasure?

You can even handle this rubbish? You are Hongjun!
After knowing how much stock Hongjun had, Taihao didn’t care about this thing at all.

So he didn’t say anything, but just looked at Hongjun quietly, until Hongjun felt uncomfortable being seen, then he silently withdrew his gaze.

“Ahem, this is just a welcome gift from me, my friend. The real gift is this! Although its main function is not to assist in cultivation, if it is used in cultivation, it can also have many wonderful uses!”

As he spoke, Hongjun took out another magical treasure.

This is a lotus platform with twelve petals blooming on it. The whole thing is golden in color and is surrounded by merits. It is actually a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

Twelve-level golden lotus of merit?
What a good thing!

Taihao was a little surprised, but this was not what he really wanted, and he didn’t want to drag it on any longer, so he said it bluntly.

“Okay, I’ll reveal my cards. The Jade Disc of Creation…”

“No, no! This is my magic weapon for proving my Dao! How can I give it to a fellow Taoist?”

Hongjun’s reaction was quite intense. As soon as Taihao mentioned the four words “Creation Jade Disc”, he hurriedly refused without any room for negotiation.

Seeing this, Taihao knew that it was not so easy to get the Jade Disc of Creation. However, if Hongjun did not give it to him, these few things alone would not be enough to repay the karma, and it was far from enough!
So Taihao was not in a hurry.

Instead, he changed the subject and asked doubtfully.

“Who said I wanted to create the Jade Disc? I just wanted to borrow it to gain enlightenment! Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you are worrying too much!” Worrying too much?
Hongjun frowned, feeling very bitter.

After a long time, he looked at the atlas and the lotus platform again.

“Then these two…”

Taihao smiled casually and uttered a few words.

“Of course I want them all!”

Want them all?
Hearing Taihao’s answer, Hongjun was speechless.

He felt that he should not have asked that question, and should not have taken out the two spiritual treasures so quickly, so it would be wrong to take them back now, and it would be wrong not to take them back either.

Don’t accept it?

Distressed.

Collect it…

When will the karma that is about to be owed be repaid?

In fact, even if Hongjun would not owe any karma for this, he must give Taihao enough benefits. Otherwise, why would Taihao help him?

Therefore, even if he wanted to take back the Map of Heaven and Earth and the Golden Lotus of Merit, he could only think about it in his heart, and he would definitely give them to Taihao in the end.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t give it to me, just change to one of the same level.

Moreover, even if he lent the Jade Disc of Creation to Taihao for his enlightenment, it would still not be enough to repay the karma.

Because the consequences of being the spokesperson for Heaven are so great!

What Taihao said to Hongjun was almost equivalent to handing over the opportunity to become a saint of heaven to Hongjun!
You must know that in the ancient history, in order to repay the karma of the West, Hongjun had to accept two registered disciples, namely Jie Yin and Zhunti. This was equivalent to him having to take two saintly positions to repay in order to become a saint.

In the process of repayment, the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Golden Lotus of Merit, and the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Divine Pestle, given to Jie Yin were just incidental!
And this was after he had preached!
Therefore, even though Hongjun was feeling very miserable at the moment, he could only accept it silently.

Not only did he present the atlas and the golden lotus to Taihao, but after hesitating for a while, he took out an extremely mysterious jade disc.

That is the Jade Disc of Creation!

“This jade disc is my treasure for proving my Dao. It is also compatible with my Qi. After countless epochs, we are already inseparable! You don’t need to refine it. You can practice directly with it. I hope it can be helpful to you!”

Hongjun said so.

Qi and energy are in harmony?

Indistinguishable from each other?

Taihao secretly curled his lips. Wasn’t this a reminder for him not to take the opportunity to take away the Jade Disc of Creation?
Are you being too suspicious?

“But to be honest, this old Taoist is really amazing! With my ability, I can’t even feel the slightest flaw in the Jade Disc of Good Fortune. Even if I want to refine it by force, it will take dozens or even hundreds of epochs for the Jade Disc of Good Fortune to not react!”

“As for completely refining it…”

“Unless I can achieve enlightenment before Hongjun! Otherwise, there is really no chance at all…”

Taihao couldn’t help but think.

At the same time, Hongjun frowned slightly.

For some reason, he felt that lending the Jade Disc of Creation to Taihao might be a wrong choice?

But just as he was about to deduce something, he discovered that the Jade Disc of Creation was no longer in his hands.

Suddenly, Hongjun became discouraged.

I could only let that inexplicable premonition dissipate, and I was too lazy to even deduce it.

Anyway, as long as I can prove my truth, everything is worth it!
While Hongjun was thinking about this, Taihao took the Map of Heaven and Earth and the Golden Lotus of Merit without any courtesy.

“Although I have never heard of the Heaven and Earth Map Record, since it is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, I think it won’t be too bad.”

“Then there is the Golden Lotus of Merit. In history, it finally belonged to Jie Yin, and it was also a magic weapon used by the Western Church to suppress destiny! But from now on, it has nothing to do with Jie Yin, and will be a magic treasure belonging to me, Tai Hao Tian Zun!”

“That’s right, the greatest good man in the prehistoric world should master the Golden Lotus of Merit!”

Taihao thought so.
