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

Chapter 76 Netherworld Treasures, Yao Ji and Long Ji, Fengdu
"Auntie, shall we go back? I'm a little scared!" In a forest on the outskirts of the Netherworld, a cute little girl of six or seven years old said to a pretty girl of about sixteen or seventeen.

"Longji, what are you afraid of? I am a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and I also have so many spiritual treasures. Even if my strength is suppressed, we can still protect ourselves. Besides, we are people of the Heavenly Court. Who would dare to attack us?" The girl comforted the little girl with a nonchalant expression.

These two were princesses from the Heavenly Court: Haotian's younger sister, Fairy Yunhua Yaoji, and her daughter, Princess Longji.

Originally, they planned to see what the Netherworld was like, but after arriving here, they heard that many people were here looking for opportunities, so they joined in the fun.

However, upon entering the Netherworld, his magical power and physical body were directly suppressed by the rules of the Netherworld, and he was unable to unleash his full strength.

Xiao Longji panicked a little. Originally a Golden Immortal, after arriving in the Netherworld, he was just like a mortal. He could only use a little bit of magic power after his primordial spirit left his body.

However, after the primordial spirit leaves the body, the surrounding yin energy, ghost energy, and other energies will continuously erode the primordial spirit.

Xiao Longji could only use his already limited magical power to protect his primordial spirit and quickly return to his body.

She had been living in the Heavenly Court since birth and had never experienced anything like this before; her little face turned deathly pale with fright.

That's why the scene just now happened.

Yao Ji, on the other hand, found the place particularly exciting. Although it looked somewhat eerie, terrifying, and even a little dangerous, she was confident that as the number one female war goddess of the Heavenly Court (self-proclaimed), these were all minor problems and would not make her back down.

Just as Xiaolongji was about to say something, a beam of light shot into the sky from the valley ahead.

"Longji, look, there's treasure ahead! Let's go, let's go take a look!"

Before Longji could answer, Yaoji grabbed her little hand and dragged her away.

Because Yaoji and Longji lived relatively close to each other, they were among the first to arrive at the valley.

In the valley, two magical treasures emanated innate energy and were weapon-type treasures: one a steel fork and the other a spear.

Although they are not particularly beautiful, it is not difficult to judge from their aura that both of these spiritual treasures are high-grade innate spiritual treasures.

“Longji, see, I told you we are blessed! We’ve only been in the Netherworld for a short time and we’ve already found two innate spiritual treasures.”

As she spoke, Yao Ji pulled Long Ji and ran to the front of the two magical treasures.

"Auntie, I feel like there's something wrong with this magical treasure?" Xiao Longji said timidly. For some reason, the closer she got, the more frightened she became, as if the magical treasure were a ferocious beast that would devour anyone it wanted.

"What's wrong with that? It's just the aura of a magical treasure. It looks intimidating."

Auntie, I've seen even more terrifying magical treasures than this! Those were the two killing treasures of the Blood Sea Ancestor, Yuan Tu and A Bi, which were far more terrifying than this.

"Don't worry! How could an unclaimed spiritual treasure hurt anyone?" After saying that, he reached out to grab two innate spiritual treasures.

Just as Yao Ji's hand was about to touch the spiritual treasure, her vision suddenly went black for a moment. When she regained her senses, the spiritual treasure had disappeared from her sight. Moreover, they had arrived at a huge hall from the valley.

"Auntie!" Little Longji grabbed Yaoji's hand in fear and hid behind her, not daring to look at the frightening figure in the main hall.

Yao Ji also noticed the imposing figure in the main hall, accompanied by the Dao principles, yet exuding an aura of fear. Although she knew they had little chance of winning if this person made a move, she remained vigilant and protected Xiao Longji behind her.

"Who are you? Let me tell you, I am the eldest princess of the Heavenly Court. We can give you the magical treasure, but don't do anything reckless!"

My brother is the Jade Emperor, a quasi-saint, and the Ziwei Emperor is the strongest person below the saints in the Heavenly Court. You mustn't make a mistake for yourself!

Yao Ji spoke incoherently. This person's power was simply too strong, far stronger than her brother's, and his aura instilled a deep-seated fear in her, as if she had encountered a powerful natural enemy, making her unable to even muster the courage to resist.

This person is Zhou Chen's Dao body, also known as Fengdu, because his Dao body has merged with the authority of the Fengdu Emperor, just like the authority of the Ziwei Emperor.

The Dao Body was also formed from a part of Zhou Chen's primordial spirit. When the ancestral fire burned the primordial spirit, the Dao Body was also affected. Since the Dao Body itself had no physical form, it needed to solidify the primordial spirit, so it did not block the ancestral fire.

Although it has not yet fully solidified into a physical form, it already possesses some of the functions of a physical entity. Moreover, the authority of the Fengdu Emperor, like that of the Ziwei Emperor, has been integrated into the primordial spirit.

Unlike Zhou Chen, who was focused on forging the ancestral fire, Dao Shen was unaware of the change in authority.

But the Dao Body is different; it has time to examine it. Once the authority is solidified and integrated into the primordial spirit, it truly belongs to him, and even if the Earthly Dao wants to take it back, it cannot.

Moreover, even if a new authority to Fengdu were to be established through the underground passage, it would be suppressed by Zhou Chen's authority. Simply put, it would be on a higher level.

Another important function is that, within their own authority, they can create their own minor powers, which can draw upon a portion of the power of the Emperor of Fengdu.

Although the Dao Body had no intention of competing with the Earthly Dao for control of the Netherworld, it couldn't resist its curiosity and wanted to experiment.

When those two innate spiritual treasures appeared, Dao Shen (later renamed Fengdu) conducted an experiment.

He incorporated the authority of the Ten Underworld Marshals, Ox-Head and Horse-Face into the spiritual treasure. As long as someone touches the spiritual treasure, the authority will immediately merge into that person's body.

It will transform the magical power and primordial spirit of future people into a state suitable for the Netherworld, enabling them to perfectly wield authority.

This is why Fengdu kidnapped them immediately when they discovered Yaoji was about to touch the spiritual treasure.

After all, the two princesses of Heaven had transformed him into the Ox-Head and Horse-Face of the Underworld, and he couldn't explain this to the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother in his original form.

“Princess, you may call me Fengdu. I am the Dao incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei. I have no ill intentions. Those two spiritual treasures are the weapons of the Ten Yin Marshals of the Netherworld.”

"Whoever takes it will become a Yin General in the Netherworld, which is why I summoned the two princesses," Fengdu said.

Fengdu's tone was very gentle, and he mentioned that it was the Dao body of the Ziwei Emperor, which calmed Yaoji's tense emotions. However, she still asked:
"Fengdu? You are the Emperor of Fengdu?"

Fengdu nodded.

"Is the authority you're talking about the same as the authority of the Heavenly Court?" Yao Ji asked curiously. She knew quite a bit about the authority of the Heavenly Court, so how could it be related to Lingbao?
