The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 6 Our Lady of the Golden Spirit
Along his journey, Zhou Chen encountered many sea beasts. They probably disliked him for swaggering through the sky with such arrogance despite his Earth Immortal realm, or perhaps they wanted to eat him to increase their magical power. In any case, they attacked Zhou Chen. Of course, there was no verbal sparring; most of them simply rushed out of the sea and bit at Zhou Chen, only to be slapped to pieces by him without him even needing to use any magic.

Among these sea monsters, the strongest was at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and the rest were all at the Golden Immortal realm. However, without exception, they all died tragically at Zhou Chen's hands, without even having to use their supernatural powers or spells.

At this moment, Zhou Chen was unsure of his own strength. He killed a sea monster at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm with a single palm strike, as did a demon at the Golden Immortal realm.

He secretly guessed that he must have the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal comparable to the Primordial World. This was not for any other reason than that anyone who could kill a Taiyi Golden Immortal with a single palm strike must at least have the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and since he could do that, he had the strength to be comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

At that moment, he even began to ponder how to continue his cultivation. After all, when he created the Mythical Great Luo Method, he had only perfected the Earth Immortal realm, and the Heaven Immortal realm was not yet perfected.

Just as Zhou Chen was flying and pondering, he suddenly sensed the sounds of fighting ahead, along with fluctuations of Shangqing Immortal Technique.

"A fellow disciple? Who could it be?"

Zhou Chen muttered to himself, and instantly sped off in the direction of the fight.

When Zhou Chen arrived at the battleground, he saw a fairy of extraordinary beauty, holding a celestial sword in one hand and using the Shangqing Celestial Technique in the other, fighting two sea monsters at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm alone.

"This is the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit!"

Zhou Chen immediately recognized that the one who fought two Taiyi Golden Immortal sea monsters was none other than the Golden Spirit Mother, one of the four direct disciples of the Jie Sect and whose status was second only to her senior brother, Duobao Daoren.

No wonder the Golden Spirit Mother fought three great warriors alone in the Investiture of the Gods without being defeated. She is only at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, yet she is able to fight against two sea monsters at the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. This shows that the Golden Spirit Mother is extraordinary.

Although she died in the Investiture of the Gods, it was because the Chan Sect was truly shameless. Not only did they besiege Jinling, but the Chan Sect's vice leader, Daoist Ran Deng, also launched a sneak attack. Jinling Shengmu could be considered to have lost with honor! It's just a pity that all her cultivation was wasted, and her cultivation could not advance an inch, so she could only switch to the path of incense offerings.

After a moment of reflection, Zhou Chen immediately unleashed his control over the Five Thunders.

The world seemed to be converging as if a celestial tribulation had been unleashed.

Rolling thunderclouds swept in!

High above, amidst the dense, dark clouds, vast flashes of lightning flickered, their terrifying aura causing the three fighters to halt their battle, wary of the sudden changes in the sky.

Without hesitation, Zhou Chen used the Five Thunder Divine Power to lock onto the two sea beasts. Instantly, the dark clouds fluctuated violently, and the vast thunderbolts, like dozens of lightning dragons, combined in an instant to form five divine thunderbolts: Gui Water Divine Thunder, Bing Fire Divine Thunder, Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Wu Earth Divine Thunder, and Geng Metal Divine Thunder. Almost every one of them possessed unparalleled power, no less than the full-force attack of any Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivator!
It happened in the blink of an eye.

Then the lightning struck, as if divine punishment had descended.

It struck the two sea beasts in an instant!

Rumble~~~
After a series of loud explosions.

In an instant, the two sea beasts at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm were blasted to pieces. The remaining force of the thunder continued to strike the sea surface, directly creating a huge crater tens of thousands of miles in circumference and bottomless depth in the East Sea. All the seawater disappeared instantly, leaving not even a trace of water vapor behind.

Zhou Chen smacked his lips, as if he had used too much force. He looked at the Golden Spirit Mother with her eyes tightly closed, somewhat puzzled. What was wrong with her? Suddenly, he noticed a glistening tear falling from the corner of the Golden Spirit Mother's eye.

Zhou Chen twitched his lips. "No way! Did I scare the Golden Spirit Mother to tears?! What happened to the legendary female warrior of the Jie Sect, the number one female immortal, the senior sister of the Jie Sect? This is it!"
It wasn't entirely Jinling Shengmu's fault. She had just broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and was full of vigor, traveling around when she encountered two Taiyi Golden Immortal sea demons. This was a perfect opportunity to hone her cultivation techniques and adapt to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Who knew she would encounter divine punishment, and what's more, it was the lightning of a Daluo Golden Immortal right from the start—something she couldn't possibly withstand. Utterly despondent, she could only close her eyes and await death. Thinking of all the years she had cultivated, dying under divine punishment before even properly experiencing the primordial world, she felt a pang of resentment. She wondered if her teacher would be heartbroken after her death. Thinking of this, tears of regret streamed down Jinling's face.

That's right, Jin Ling mistook Zhou Chen's lightning magic for divine punishment.

Zhou Chen walked curiously to the side of the Golden Spirit Mother. Seeing that the Golden Spirit Mother's mouth was moving, he couldn't help but wonder what she was saying, so he listened carefully.

"Master, please forgive your unfilial behavior. I will no longer be able to serve you. The Jie Sect can only be passed on to that unreliable fatso, Duobao. Master, you have no idea what that fatso, Duobao..."

Zhou Chen's lips twitched. He hadn't expected that the Golden Spirit Mother had this side to her. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Chen decided to interrupt the Golden Spirit Mother's daydreams. If they continued talking, the secrets of the Intercepting Sect's direct transmission would be exposed by the Golden Spirit Mother. With such a commotion here, the nearby immortals and sea beasts would probably come to check soon. How embarrassing would that be!
"Ahem! Um, Senior Sister, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Chen pretended to be someone who had just arrived and knew nothing.

Golden Spirit Mother was also awakened by Zhou Chen's shout. When she opened her eyes, the four middle schools had returned to calm. Only the air was filled with a lot of thunderous energy, which proved what had just happened. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Oh, no, there was also a handsome, Earth Immortal Realm human.

"Am I not dead?"

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirits seemed somewhat incredulous and murmured to herself.

"Senior Sister, what did you say?"

Zhou Chen pretended not to hear. It wasn't that he was pretending on purpose; he knew how troublesome it was when a woman got angry, so he simply acted as if he didn't know anything to avoid causing trouble for himself.

"Ah? Oh! It's nothing. You call me Senior Sister. Are you also a member of the Jie Sect?"

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's question, Jin Ling's face immediately regained its calm and dignified expression.

"Yes! Senior Sister, I am Zhou Chen, an inner disciple of the Jie Sect. I just came to the East Sea from Kunlun Mountain and was on my way to Biyou Palace to listen to the teacher's lecture when I met you here."

After Zhou Chen finished speaking, before the Golden Spirit Mother could reply, a figure appeared between the two of them. The person was none other than Shangqing Tongtian, the leader of the Jie Sect.

"Disciple Zhou Chen greets Master."

Zhou Chen immediately bowed respectfully to him.

The moment Jinling Shengmu saw Tongtian Jiaozhu appear, her eyes reddened slightly, clearly indicating that she had misunderstood.

"Thank you so much, Master, for saving me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen's lips twitched slightly. Why was this never going to end?
The Master of the Heavens glared fiercely at Zhou Chen.
