Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 327: Sword Battle with Zhunti, Bodhi Tree Branch

He failed to transform, encountered an unexpected disaster, and lost all his origin. However, he was still able to transform under such circumstances and achieve the status of Golden Immortal. This was already the limit for the Water and Fire Boy.

If he wants to return to the peak and become an innate saint comparable to the two saints in the West, he first needs to find back the lost origin, that is, the seven gourds produced by the innate gourd vine, as well as the gourd vine itself.

However, this kind of thing can only be thought about. Even a saint cannot do it, let alone a little water and fire boy.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the innate gourd vine, which is now the most precious treasure of mankind, the whip for creating humans, and it is the sacred object used by the goddess Nuwa when she created humans.

Who dares to rob?

Aren’t you afraid of humans fighting to the death?

"The Water and Fire Boy has benefited from you, so I must repay you for this karma. I will give you this innate water and fire gourd that gave birth to him, which can be regarded as settling this karma for him."

Suddenly, Master Tongtian took out a huge red and black gourd and handed it to Ao Bing.

This is the Innate Water and Fire Gourd, one of the seven gourds of Mount Buzhou. It was originally a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but because it gave birth to the Water and Fire Qilin, its origin was damaged and its grade dropped to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"Give me?"

Ao Bing's face was filled with astonishment. This item was equivalent to the companion spiritual treasure of the Water and Fire Boy. It was obviously more suitable for the Water and Fire Boy, so it would be inappropriate to give it to him.

"Yes, it's for you."

"If we were to ask who in the prehistoric world is most likely to collect all seven innate gourds, it would definitely be you."

"I have met many people since the beginning of the world, but this is the first time I have seen someone as special as you. Any impossible thing can happen to you."

"So, I will give you the Water and Fire Gourd, betting that you will be able to collect all seven innate gourds in the future. When the time comes, you can just give the Water and Fire Boy a wisp of gourd essence, which will be enough for him to benefit endlessly."

Tongtian said with a smile that the Water and Fire Boy only had four of the seven gourds' essences, and he still needed three. This meant that if he could not collect the essences of the three gourds in the future, he would have no hope of reaching the Quasi-Sage realm.

However, it would be difficult for him to do this by himself. At this time, if Ao Bing could help him accomplish this, it would be a profit even if it cost him the Water and Fire Gourd.

"Master, you think too highly of me. Among the seven innate gourds, except for the Fire and Water Gourd and the Immortal Slaying Gourd in my hand, the other five are more powerful than the last."

"Master Uncle's purple gold gourd, Second Master Uncle's treasure-raising gourd, Hongyun's nine-nine soul-scattering gourd, Dijun's demon-summoning banner, and Nuwa Niangniang's demon-refining pot."

"Among these five gourds, only the Demon Summoning Banner is in the hands of the remnants of the demon clan. I have a chance of taking it. As for the other four, I dare not even think about it."

Hearing this, Ao Bing smiled bitterly. Of the remaining five innate gourds, three were in the hands of the saint, one disappeared, and the last one could be obtained, but it would also cost a lot.

Tongtian's expectations of him were too high. He really thought he was omnipotent.

"Before I met you, I never thought that there was someone in the prehistoric world who could gather the three lamps of heaven, earth and man."

Looking at the two lamps of heaven and man floating in the auspicious clouds above Ao Bing's head, Master Tongtian exclaimed.

The two most difficult to obtain lamps, the Heavenly Lamps and the Human Lamps, have now fallen into Ao Bing's hands, and the remaining Earthly Lamps are only a matter of time.

How could Ran Deng be a match for Ao Bing? Even considering Ao Bing's talent, the longer the battle dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for Ran Deng.

Now, Ran Deng can still fight with Ao Bing for a few times, but after waiting for thousands of years, he is afraid that he will not even be qualified to fight with Ao Bing.

It was only a matter of time before Ao Bing got the ground lamp.

"It's a fluke, it's all a fluke."

"I didn't expect that the Master Uncle would give me the Human Lamp. Seeing this, the Second Master Uncle was worried that I would be looked down upon, so he simply gave me the Sky Lamp."

Ao Bing said truthfully that getting the two lamps of heaven and man was a real surprise for him. He really didn't plan it specially, it was all due to chance.

"On the road of cultivation, there is no such thing as luck. This is all obtained by your own ability. At the same time, it also indirectly proves that your ability is indeed capable of doing things that ordinary people cannot do."

"Now that your master uncle can give you the sky lantern, he may give you the purple gold gourd in the future. After all, the purple gold gourd is of no great use to him. It is just a container for elixirs."

The more Ao Bing said this, the more Tongtian Jiaozhu felt that he could collect all seven innate gourds. The Immortal River was just the beginning, and the Immortal Realm would gradually take shape. The two saints Taiqing and Yuqing would also reward Ao Bing.

But Ao Bing was not their disciple after all. Even if they wanted to reward Ao Bing, they could not give him anything important, such as the Innate Five-Directions Flag.

Instead, they gave them lamps for lighting and gourds for storing elixirs and other treasures, which were of little use to them but looked very precious.

Therefore, it is not impossible for the two saints Taiqing and Yuqing to bestow the innate gourd in their hands to Ao Bing. On the contrary, the probability of such an event happening is extremely high.

As for the remaining innate gourd, as long as Ao Bing wants, with his luck, it is only a matter of time before he finds it.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm just saying that. You don't need to take it to heart. Just let it go. Maybe even if you do nothing, these seven gourds will automatically appear in front of you."

Seeing that Ao Bing was beginning to hesitate, Tongtian Patriarch quickly stopped the topic. He told Ao Bing that this was just a possibility, and did not require him to complete it.

It's fine to do it when you are free, but if it delays his main work, that would be bad.

"By the way, please keep this Bodhi tree branch. You don't need to take the agreement you made with the two saints from the West to heart."

"You are such a great saint, but you actually bully the weak. You are so shameless and bring shame to us."

After changing the subject, Master Tongtian suddenly took out a branch that was as crystal clear as jade. The light of wisdom was flowing on it, and the aura of holiness was permeating it, as if it carried the infinite avenue. Just one glance at it could make people enlightened.

"This……"

"This is the Saint Zhunti..."

Staring at the branch, Ao Bing's eyes immediately widened, his face full of shock and disbelief.

Combining what Tongtian Patriarch said and the magical nature of the branch, Ao Bing had a bold guess that this piece of Bodhi tree branch could not have been cut off from the body of Zhunti Saint by Tongtian Patriarch.

There is no shortage of Bodhi trees in the ancient world, but there is probably only one Bodhi tree with such a magnificent appearance in the whole world, and that is the body of the Bodhisattva Cundi, the first Bodhi tree in the ancient world.

"Yes, this is Zhunti's true form, which was just cut off by my master with the Qingping Sword. He dared to bully my disciple, I will make him pay the price."

Tongtian said fiercely that the Three Pure Ones have the appearance of old, middle-aged and young people, and their personalities are also related to their appearance. The Great Pure One is mature, Yuanshi Tianzun is majestic, and only Tongtian retains the impulsiveness of a young man, and he cannot stand being bullied.

Seeing the two saints of the West threatening his disciples, he did not show up because his disciples were present. But as soon as the two sides separated, he took action without saying a word, raised his sword and chopped off Zhunti, cutting off a piece of his body as compensation to his disciples.

"Master is so domineering!"

Looking at the Bodhi tree branch in front of him, Ao Bing was speechless for a long time.

He guessed that even if he didn't say it, Tongtian Jiaozhu would stand up for him and bring misfortune to the Two Saints of the West, but he didn't expect him to be so direct.

There was no conspiracy or intrigue, no preparation, not even overnight. As soon as he left, Master Tongtian took action and settled the matter with his sword.

Cultivation is about talent, how can a hard-working player compare to a talented player. It is true that the two saints in the West worked hard, but unfortunately, they met the Three Pure Ones who were cheating.

Therefore, facing the Master Tongtian who was coming to kill him with a sword in hand, the Saint Zhunti was no match at all.

If Saint Jie Yin had not been with him, the battle for Saint Zhunti would not have been as simple as just having a few branches chopped off.

Ao Bing was very excited when he received the Bodhi branch from Tongtian Sect Master.

God knows how excited he was when the Saint Zhunti said he was willing to exchange his body fragments for the Golden Crow's origin. He almost agreed.

The rejection afterwards made him extremely sad, and he felt that he had lost a great opportunity. He never thought that the Bodhi tree branch that was supposed to leave him would come into his hands in another way.

The only pity was that he did not get the other two treasures promised by the Bodhisattva Cundi, the first generation golden lotus seeds and the lotus seeds of nirvana. This made Ao Bing excited but also a little regretful.

These two treasures are as good as the Bodhi tree branch. It would be great if we could get both.

However, Ao Bing also knew that this was unrealistic. Being able to obtain a Bodhi branch was already a pleasant surprise. If he expected too much, he would easily arouse jealousy.

"The saint's body is so extraordinary that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most advanced spiritual root in the prehistoric world. Master, do you think I should refine it into a magic weapon, or plant it and cultivate it into a new innate spiritual root?"

Looking at the Bodhi branch in his hand, Ao Bing didn't know what to do with it for a moment, so he asked Tongtian Sect Master for advice.

"Although I look down on Zhunti, I have to admit that his true form is quite extraordinary. It is called Bodhi tree, but it is actually a wisdom tree, and is related to the wisdom demon god of the chaotic era."

"This tree can deepen wisdom and enlighten people. It can be called a holy object for enlightenment. If it is refined into a magic weapon and worn all the time, it can make people's mind clear all the time. The practice will be like the help of heaven, and the progress will be rapid."

"If someone else got the Bodhi branch, I would definitely persuade him to refine it into a magic weapon. Zhunti is still alive, so how could he allow someone else to grow the Bodhi branch and take away his luck?"

"It's a waste of effort to plant it, so it's better to refine it into a magic weapon."

"But you are an exception. You can go to the ancestral land of the Great Desolation. It is isolated from the outside world and can even block the perception of a saint."

"At the same time, the ancestral veins contain endless energy, which can be regarded as the best place for the growth of innate spiritual roots. If you plant the Bodhi tree branches there, there may be hope of cultivating a second innate Bodhi tree."

Tongtian said in a deep voice that his cultivation was far superior to Zhunti. During the battle, he could have taken away other treasures, but he chose to take Zhunti's body fragments. The reason was that he considered that Ao Bing could go to the ancestral vein.

At this time, Tongtian Patriarch did not know that the seed of Tongtian Jianmu had fallen into Ao Bing's hands. Therefore, in his opinion, Ao Bing did not lack magic weapons, but lacked a top-level innate spiritual root that could suppress his luck.

It was with this in mind that he snatched a branch from Zhunti. His purpose was to let Ao Bing plant it alive and use it to suppress the luck.

After Zhunti became a saint, the innate Bodhi tree disappeared. Therefore, if Ao Bing really wanted to plant the Bodhi branch obtained from Zhunti, it would immediately obtain the status of an innate Bodhi tree the moment it was born.

In other words, if the branch of the tree of the Bodhisattva Cundi could survive, it would be one of the ten innate spiritual roots in the ancient times.

However, if this tree is born, it will inevitably take away the luck of the Zhunti Saint. Therefore, although the Zhunti Saint can create a congenital bodhi tree at any time, he never does so.

But it doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't want to, someone else does. So what if they take away Zhunti's luck? It's not them who provoked Zhunti first, it was Zhunti who provoked them first.

Let this incident teach Zhunti a lesson he will never forget, so that he knows that the Jiejiao cannot be violated and the majesty of the Three Pure Ones cannot be challenged!

"Master, what you said makes sense. I will give it a try after I return to Longzhou."

Ao Bing nodded and put away the bodhi tree branch, but he thought of another thing in his mind. That is, he wondered if the grafting technology of later generations would work now.

If it works, he will graft the Bodhi tree and the Wudao tea tree together, wondering if he can get a top-quality Wudao tea tree.

The enlightenment tea tree can help people realize the truth, and the bodhi tree can help people become enlightened. In essence, the two are very similar, and perhaps they can be integrated together, thus transforming into stronger innate spiritual roots.

Ao Bing thought so, not because he thought the Bodhi tree was not good, but because it was too ostentatious. When the Saint Zhunti was still alive, he used his body fragments to cultivate another innate Bodhi tree to share his luck.

This is more than just ostentation, it is simply a fight to the death with Zhunti. Tongtian Jiaozhu is a saint, he is not afraid of Zhunti's revenge. But Ao Bing is not like that. If Zhunti Saint retaliates against him, he can't bear it at all.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, he decided to use the branches of the Bodhi tree to cultivate the enlightenment tea tree into a top-level innate spiritual root.

Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to grow a congenital bodhi tree. At least, if the sage Zhunti was determined to destroy the tree, Ao Bing would not be able to stop him.

By then, not only would the tree be gone, but he would also become a mortal enemy with the Bodhisattva Cundi. It would be a loss that would be disastrous.

"It's good that you know what's going on. What's the matter with you coming to see me this time?" After all the trivial matters were settled, Master Tongtian finally asked about the main business.

"There are two things. First, Saint Zhunti gave me a Bodhi seed. I want Master to take a look to see if there is anything wrong with it."

As he spoke, Ao Bing handed the Bodhi seed to Master Tongtian.

"This Bodhi seed is fine, what about the second thing?"

Master Tongtian just took a look at the Bodhi seed and returned it to Ao Bing, telling him not to worry.

"The second thing is related to the Chaos Demon Ape."

"My disciple discovered that the four monkeys might be a backup plan left by the Chaos Demon Ape. There is a deep devil hidden deep in their blood. Once it erupts, it will immediately replace the four monkeys."

After calming himself down, Ao Bing told Master Tongtian about his discovery.

　Yesterday I added 3,000 words
　　Today I will add 3,000 words
　　Six thousand of the ten thousand words that were owed have been paid, leaving a shortfall of four thousand.
