Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

Chen Changsheng stood tall and elegant, facing the two saints, speaking eloquently and with an air of composure that was in no way inferior.

"If we refuse any compensation, what will become of the reputation of my Jie Sect? What will become of the reputation of my grandmaster?"

"Therefore, this compensation is essential!"

The faces of Jieyin and Zhunti twitched uncontrollably.

Damn it, after all this trouble, you're still going to try and extort money, huh?

In the void, the voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader carried a hint of laughter.

Good lad, this act of getting a good deal and then acting innocent is just like his old days.

"Then what do you think should be done?" The Sage of Guidance asked in a deep voice, suppressing his displeasure.

He wanted to see what other tricks this kid could pull.

Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and finally revealed his plan.

"It would be rather ungrateful of a junior not to accept the sage's treasure of enlightenment."

"Just now, when I was traveling in my mind, I sensed that there seemed to be a great connection between me and Mount Sumeru, and that a treasure of vital importance to me and even to my Jie Sect was buried there."

"How about we make a bet?"

Chen Changsheng stared intently at Jieyin and Zhunti, speaking each word carefully.

"I will be the one to dig up this treasure from this Mount Sumeru!"

"If I can find it, then this treasure will be mine, settling the score for today. From this day forward, the feud between my Jie Sect and the Western Sect will be wiped clean!"

"If I can't find it, then it proves my senses were wrong, and this matter is over! I will leave with my master immediately and never mention compensation again!"

"What do you two sages think?"

These words shocked everyone present.

Not only Jieyin and Zhunti, but also Haotian of the Heavenly Court, Yuanshi of Kunlun Mountain, Zhao Gongming of Jin'ao Island, and others were all stunned.

Is this kid crazy?

What kind of operation is this?

Why give up the opportunity to openly extort a saint with the backing of the Tongtian Sect Master, instead of gambling on a vague "intuition"?

That's Mount Sumeru!

It is a Taoist temple that the two Western Saints have managed for countless eons!

Let alone a treasure, even a single spirit herb or a handful of spirit soil would probably have been looted by these two long ago!

You want to dig for treasure on someone else's turf?

Do you think saints are blind?

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes a hint of undisguised astonishment, followed by overwhelming joy.

They almost burst out laughing on the spot.

Was this kid stunned by the saint's pressure just now?

Is there treasure on Mount Sumeru?

Are you kidding me!

Since they established their temple here, these two brothers have used their holy thoughts to plow through Mount Sumeru inside and out, up and down, countless times over the past hundreds of millions of years!

If there really were some treasure, would it be up to an outsider like you to sense it?

This is an absolute joke!

This kid clearly wanted to save face but was afraid of losing face in front of Tongtian, so he came up with this self-righteous plan.

It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep!

They were worried about how to send away the great god Tongtian without giving up the Seven Treasures Tree.

Now, Chen Changsheng has given them a perfect excuse!

If they disagree, then they're fools!

Zhunti sneered inwardly, but feigned a troubled expression: "Well... Nephew Changsheng, isn't it somewhat inappropriate for you to break ground in my Sage's Daoist temple?"

"Junior brother!" The Sage of Guidance immediately interrupted him, fearing that he would ruin this heaven-sent opportunity.

He turned to Chen Changsheng, and the bitter look on his face, which had never changed for a long time, faded a bit, replaced by a magnanimous and compassionate expression.

"What my nephew Changsheng says is excellent!"

"Since my nephew is destined to be with my Mount Sumeru, then it must be the will of Heaven. How could I possibly obstruct it?"

"As you say, my nephew! If you can truly find the treasure you are destined to find in my Mount Sumeru, then that is your opportunity, and my Western Sect will not interfere!"

"If we cannot find it, I hope that Senior Brother Tongtian will stop here and not make things difficult for the West any further."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in the void.

In the void, the Tongtian Sect Leader remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.

Although he didn't know what his grand-disciple was up to, he had an almost blind trust in him.

This kid has created too many miracles along the way.

If he says it exists, then it definitely exists!

Moreover, last time he found treasure under his own buttocks at Biyou Palace.

Is this the same this time?

"it is good."

The voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader came, containing only one word, yet it represented his attitude.

"Thank you for your kindness, Grandmaster! Thank you to the two Sages!"

Chen Changsheng felt much more at ease, and his smile widened.

The fish has taken the bait!

He cupped his hands in greeting to Jieyin and Zhunti, and then, amidst countless gazes filled with doubt, mockery, or anticipation, he flipped his wrist.

An ordinary-looking shovel, even somewhat rusty, appeared in his hand.

What kind of shovel was that?

The wooden shovel handle looked quite old, with even a few cracks.

The iron shovel head was simple and unadorned, with some dirt on it and even a few rust marks. It showed no signs of spiritual light or fluctuations of laws.

Isn't this the tool that ordinary farmers use to dig the ground?

Are you sure you're not joking?

As the Sage Zhunti looked at the shovel, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He really, really was about to burst out laughing.

He had assumed that even if Chen Changsheng was going to put on an act, he would at least produce a decent magical treasure, such as a mountain-splitting axe or a ground-splitting shovel.

As a result, this is it?

You think you can dig up treasures in my sacred temple with this piece of junk?

Whose intelligence are you insulting?

The Sage of Guidance was also at a loss for words, he was now 100% certain that Chen Changsheng was just looking for a way to save face.

He had even begun to plan how he should use magnanimous words to send away Tongtian, this plague god, after Chen Changsheng had dug for half a day and found nothing, so as to preserve the last bit of face for the Western Sect.

"Hahaha! This is hilarious! Is Chen Changsheng trying to be funny?"

"Trying to dig up a saint's sacred site with a broken shovel? Does he think it's his backyard vegetable garden?"

"System, activate treasure hunting navigation!" he silently chanted in his mind.

[Ding! Navigation activated! Target located 3,000 zhang to the left and front of the host, at the foot of Bodhi Cliff, the main peak of Mount Sumeru!]

coming!

A glint of light flashed in Chen Changsheng's eyes, and with a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the direction indicated by the system.

Jieyin and Zhunti followed behind him leisurely, their faces bearing a playful smile, like a cat toying with a mouse.

They wanted to see what kind of show this kid could put on.

Soon, Chen Changsheng arrived at the foot of Bodhi Cliff.

This is an extremely important location on Mount Sumeru. Countless Buddhist principles are naturally manifested on the cliff face, making it a sacred place for Western Buddhist disciples to meditate and attain enlightenment.
