Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 43 The Queen Mother of the West Withdraws, the King Father of the East Becomes the Celestial Emperor

After refining most of the God-Slaying Spear, Zhen Yuanzi stopped. He thought to himself that the God-Slaying Spear was indeed ferocious, and then used his supernatural powers to send the God-Slaying Spear into the spiritual veins beneath Longevity Mountain.

Using this spiritual vein to nurture the God-Slaying Spear in the hope of repairing it and restoring it to its original innate treasure status is not very promising, and it would take a very long time.

This is also why Zhen Yuanzi doesn't want to spend too much time refining the God-Slaying Spear, since he also wants to refine his second Dao-proving treasure.

However, his method was simpler than Hongyun's; he modified the Void Staff and turned it into his own treasure for proving his Dao.

After all, although it is called a treasure for proving the Dao, it is actually just a magic weapon used to replace the Earth Book.

The main thing is that the power is sufficient to unleash most of its strength, then there's no problem.

Both Zhen Yuanzi's and Hong Yun's current Dao can be described as the Dao of the World, but the composition of their Dao of the World is different.

Hongyun's world philosophy begins with the philosophy of the Four Symbols, and then extends to the philosophy of the Five Elements, the philosophy of Yin and Yang, and so on.

Zhen Yuanzi's world theory, however, is centered on the Way of Earth, supplemented by the Way of Space, and so on.

The Way of Space is the Way of Void, and that is why he chose the Void Staff as his second treasure for proving his Dao.

Leaving aside the two's busy work in Wanshou Mountain, let's talk about the outside world. In the primordial wilderness, the originally peaceful and initially established order is gradually starting to become chaotic again.

The origin of this turmoil, of course, lies with the demon race. Those demon immortals have begun to break the rules again, and their behavior is becoming more and more frequent.

While keeping the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother extremely busy, they also began to sense that something was amiss.

However, faced with this malicious provocation from the demon race, the two had different opinions.

The Queen Mother of the West believed that the ambitions of Di Jun, Tai Yi, and others were already obvious, and that the demon race was too powerful to contend with in a conflict.

But Dongwanggong refuted her, arguing that he and his companion were the leaders of all immortals, and that even if Dijun and Taiyi were incredibly bold, they wouldn't dare to touch them.

At the same time, the Eastern King Duke also tried to persuade the Western Queen Mother to join him in forming a larger force and creating a celestial court. In this way, all male and female immortals would be united, and what would the demon race be?

It was at this moment that the Queen Mother of the West was shocked to discover that it wasn't just Emperor Jun and Taiyi whose ambitions had erupted, but also that of the King Duke of the East.

The Queen Mother of the West did not immediately agree to the King Father of the East's request, but considered it for a while.

Ultimately, the Queen Mother of the West chose to withdraw. With the support and witness of the Three Pure Ones, she resigned from her position as the head of the female immortals and sent the Pure Water Bowl to Zifu Continent, allowing the King Duke of the East to concurrently assume her responsibilities.

Although the Eastern King Duke was furious at the Western Queen Mother's cowardice in withdrawing out of fear of the demon race, he also succeeded in achieving his goal and became the true leader of all immortals.

Thus, as soon as the order was given, the immortals obeyed and quickly formed the celestial court he had always dreamed of.

The Eastern King Duke was known as the Immortal Emperor and was worshipped by all the immortals.

At the same time, in the Mingdao Palace of Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Hongyun also heard a system notification in his mind.

"Ding, it has been detected that the Eastern King Duke has established a Celestial Court and proclaimed himself Celestial Emperor. The host may make the following choices."

"Option 1: Go and persuade the Eastern King Duke with reason and emotion to stop calling himself the Immortal Emperor and to disband the Immortal Court. You will receive a top-grade innate spiritual treasure as a reward."

"Option 2: Immediately persuade Zhen Yuanzi to join the Eastern King Duke and the Celestial Court together, and you will receive a Primordial Treasure as a reward."

"Option 3: Stay on Longevity Mountain and watch the show until the Celestial Court is destroyed. You will receive the rewards of a fishing dojo and a Primordial Fishing Rod."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun immediately knew that the great battle for supremacy in the primordial world was about to begin, with the Eastern King Duke proclaiming himself the Immortal Emperor.

I must say, this old fellow is really daring. Even Di Jun didn't do that; instead, he took a roundabout way and simply called himself the Demon Emperor.

How dare the Eastern King Duke? Just because he was appointed the head of male immortals by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun? Doesn't he know that the Dao Ancestor has already attained the Dao?

Still so arrogant.

Comparing the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother side by side reveals the difference in their intelligence.

The Queen Mother of the West was at least of sound mind; she knew the situation was hopeless and knew when to stop, and she also had the Three Pure Ones to help her.

It can be said that he has retired with honor.

However, Dong Wanggong failed to recognize when to advance and when to retreat, which was already dangerous enough, and now he has one foot directly into a dead end.

This is a classic case of reaping what you sow.

Therefore, Hongyun naturally rejected both options one and two immediately. He's not some pushover anymore; there's no point in trying to persuade him.

As for seeking refuge with the Eastern King Duke, unless he is even more foolish than the Eastern King Duke, he would never do such a thing.

But the third option, the reward...

Fishing Dojo, Primordial Fishing Rod?

What is this thing?

Ask the system if you don't understand anything. Soon, Hongyun found out what the two rewards were.

[Fishing Dojo: Simply cast the Primordial Fishing Rod into it, and you can catch all sorts of incredible things; of course, it may also be just ordinary items. This dojo is indestructible; no force can completely destroy it.]

[Hongmeng Fishing Rod: Capable of catching almost anything, best used in conjunction with a fishing dojo.]

Wow. This is amazing! Hongyun was excited and decisively said, "System, I choose option three."

As soon as Hongyun made her choice, the system's rewards were immediately distributed.

Hongyun no longer went into seclusion. Since his several avatars could continue working, he, the main body, could relax.

After leaving Mingdao Palace, Hongyun thought for a moment and then came to the back mountain of Wanshou Mountain. With a wave of his sleeve, a huge lake appeared in the back mountain.

Moreover, a pavilion was built in the center of the lake, protecting it from the sun and rain.

Then Hongyun gracefully strode to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and immediately took out a long, purplish-black fishing rod.

I never expected to be able to revive my fishing career in this desolate place.

Hongyun made a beautiful swing and threw the ball out.

Enjoying the pleasant breeze, Hongyun lazily began fishing.

This left his three disciples, who discovered him shortly afterward, somewhat bewildered.

After all, in their minds, their teacher was a cultivation fanatic.

On ordinary days, besides eating ginseng fruit, drinking tea, and discussing the Dao with his senior brother Zhenyuan, he would go into seclusion, seclusion, and more seclusion.

They practically wished they could cultivate themselves into saints forever.

But why did I suddenly become so lazy today? Stop cultivating? Relaxed? I even started fishing.

I must say, being an immortal is really great. If you want to fish, you can just wave your hand in your own house and turn it into a huge fishpond, and fish anytime, anywhere.

"Senior Brother, can I also go fishing with Master?" At this moment, Xuanpeng timidly expressed his inner thoughts to Xuanfeng.

Xuanfeng glanced at him, then at Kong Xuan, and chuckled, "Not bad. Anyway, your cultivation level can't catch up with your brother's now. I'm afraid your brother will be able to take human form in a while."

"Hmm, you'll still look the same when it's just you." Xuanfeng pointed at Xuanpeng.

Xuanpeng immediately panicked and shouted, "I'm not fishing anymore! I'm not fishing anymore!" Xuanfeng and Kongxuan burst into laughter.

Hongyun, who was fishing under the pavilion in the middle of the lake, only opened her eyes slightly before ignoring them.

He's gotten used to letting these three disciples run wild and doesn't care about them at all anymore.
