"Um?"
In the next instant, an aura that seemed to have survived countless calamities emanated from the Supreme Ancestor.
Its aura spread throughout the entire Tushita Palace, enveloping it completely, with not a single part of it showing outwards.
Xiao Ning was startled, realizing what had happened. He quickly got up from the prayer mat and bowed deeply in worship.
"Greetings, Sage Taiqing!"
That's right, it is the mind and spirit of the Supreme Sage that has taken over this avatar of the Supreme Lord Laozi.
The person is still the same, but they are completely different now.
When he was an incarnation of Laozi, he was calm and composed, acting without striving, just like an ordinary old Taoist priest.
When he became the Supreme Saint, a feeling of being high above, regarding all living beings as ants, and with indifferent eyes welled up in Xiao Ning's heart.
The difference is just too big, too big.
"You're not bad!"
The Sage of Taiqing looked at Xiao Ning, who was standing bowing, and actually praised him.
"I dare not accept such praise from a sage!"
Xiao Ning lowered his head and lowered his eyes, replying respectfully.
He dared not act rashly in the presence of the Primordial Saint.
"Become my apprentice!"
As the Supreme Sage's lips moved, he uttered a few words.
At his level, he says whatever comes to mind and no longer bothers with pretense.
"Disciple Xiao Ning greets Master!"
Without any hesitation, Xiao Ning suppressed his excitement and knelt down respectfully.
"Get up!"
The Sage Taiqing nodded, showing no emotional fluctuation. With a wave of his hand, a flag and a seal floated in front of him.
"Having entered my fold, I bestow upon you the Flaming Banner of the Earth for protection. Furthermore, since you are of human origin, I also grant you the Kongtong Seal! I hope you will cultivate diligently and attain the Eternal Great Luo status as soon as possible!"
The Sage Taiqing offered a brief explanation and offered words of encouragement.
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure!"
Xiao Ning reached out and took the flag and the seal, bowing in thanks.
The Flame Banner of Departure is a top-grade Heavenly Treasure, one of the Five Elements Banners of the Primordial Era. It has forty-eight layers of restrictions. After refining it, it can disrupt Yin and Yang, reverse the Five Elements, repel all evil, and make one impervious to all magic.
The Kongtong Seal is a top-grade Heavenly Treasure, the number one treasure of the human race in all the heavens and myriad realms. It also has forty-eight layers of restrictions. Nine dragons are coiled around the seal, and the four sides of the seal base are engraved with the holy images of the five Heavenly Emperors. The two characters "Kongtong" are engraved in the Great Dao runes below the seal.
By wielding this seal, one can depose and install emperors, and deal with all demons and monsters. If a ghost touches it, its soul will be scattered; if a demon touches it, its body will be destroyed.
Therefore, the Kongtong Seal is also known as the Righteous Path Divine Seal.
Xiao Ning was overjoyed to have obtained two top-grade innate spiritual treasures. This was an unexpected blessing from heaven, one that he couldn't stop.
Don't think that innate spiritual treasures are worthless. Just look at the unfortunate Taoist Hongyun in the prehistoric world; he only had one innate spiritual treasure when he died.
Moreover, these are two top-grade innate spiritual treasures! These are top-grade innate spiritual treasures!
In the check-in system's hierarchy, everything can be divided into five levels: Heaven, Earth, Darkness, Yellowness, and Mortal, with Heaven being the highest and Mortal the lowest.
The Heavenly Rank is a supreme treasure that can only be used by those at the Eternal Great Luo Realm or above.
The supreme innate spiritual treasure is a top-grade heavenly treasure.
Why would the Sage of Taiqing bestow upon Xiao Ning these two supreme treasures, which can only be used by those at the Eternal Great Luo Realm?
The difference lies in the word "innate".
What is innate?
Those who existed before Heaven and Earth are called the Primordial Ones.
Each innate spiritual treasure contains a complete innate undying spiritual light.
Its nature is equivalent to the eternal Great Luo.
Each ray of innate, undying spiritual light records a complete Great Dao.
If one can thoroughly comprehend this Great Dao, one can attain the Eternal Great Luo.
This is precisely why innate spiritual treasures are so precious.
The Supreme Saint is at such a high level that he has already attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, so naturally he looks down on the Great Dao of these two spiritual treasures.
He then bestowed it upon Xiao Ning, his newly accepted disciple.
Of course, there is also a hint of compensation in it.
After all, you broke their system, so you should at least have to compensate them!
A broken, acquired Chaos Treasure, along with two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, should be enough.
