Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 95 The Colorful Cloud Boy Visits, Shen Gongbao Returns to Chaoge

Yuquan Mountain, Jinxia Cave.

Shen Gongbao stopped practicing his internal energy, but his face remained deathly pale.

His stone statue incarnation was defeated by Wen Zhong during the Chaoge operation.

His precious sword, which he had painstakingly refined for a thousand years, was shattered, and the Heaven-Opening Pearl was taken by Wen Zhong.

His injuries had not yet healed, and it was not yet time for him to emerge from seclusion.

According to a message from Senior Brother Yu Ding, someone has come to visit him.

Shen Gongbao was puzzled. Not many people knew that he was staying in Jinxia Cave. Who could have come to him?

The stone gate of the cave slowly rose, revealing a sea of ​​flowers to the outside world.

Having not seen the sunlight for so long, he suddenly felt a strange sense of déjà vu as he saw the light of day again.

A girl's chattering laughter came from afar; it was Yang Chan running through the sea of ​​flowers, with two spirits casually conjured up by her senior brother Yu Ding chasing after her.

Originally, there was no sea of ​​flowers on Yuquan Mountain.

Since Yang Chan's arrival, Master Yu Ding has been rejuvenated, planting all sorts of flowers all over the mountain, just to make his new disciple happy.

Shen Gongbao was able to settle down temporarily at Jinxia Cave on Yuquan Mountain.

Originally, Master Yuding would never have liked him, but this was all thanks to Yang Chan.

"Uncle Shen, Master said he's waiting for you on the back mountain."

Yang Chan beamed with joy when she saw Shen Gongbao emerge.

"Okay, okay, Uncle-Master, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan continued running into the distance.

Shen Gongbao looked at Yang Chan's small figure, a deep meaning in his eyes.

Yang Jian has climbed up the social ladder to the Jie Sect, so he will inevitably slip out of his control.

They might come back for revenge someday.

Yang Chan, standing before him, was his only support.

But~

Shen Gongbao paused for a moment, but Yu Ding Zhenren would surely be wary of him using Yang Chan as a pretext.

This gave him quite a headache.

However, using Yang Chan to manipulate Yang Jian is not the only way.

He decided to first find an opportunity to go to Chaoge to test Yang Jian, and then seize the chance to take the kid's life.

Moreover, Black Tiger was also in Chaoge, and he was genuinely worried about him.

The trip to Chaoge was now imminent.

With a thought, a white cloud rose from beneath his feet, carrying him towards the back mountain.

As they drew closer, Shen Gongbao saw an old man and a young man.

The old man had white hair but a youthful face; his long beard fluttered in the wind, and his sleeves swayed with an air of otherworldly grace.

He was his senior brother, Jade Cauldron Immortal, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

In front of Jade Cauldron Immortal was a child.

But the child's aura was rather strange.

He seemed to possess great supernatural powers, but upon closer inspection, he appeared to be a cultivator who had just entered the path of immortality.

Shen Gongbao descended from the white cloud and came before the two men, asking in confusion, "Senior brother, who is this?"

Master Yu Ding smiled and explained to Shen Gongbao, "This is Fellow Daoist Caiyun, a pageboy under the guidance of Goddess Nuwa."

"This humble Taoist has been expelled from the house by the Goddess Nuwa. Do not mention my former identity again. If I anger the Goddess, I cannot bear the consequences."

Caiyun Tongzi smiled wryly and cupped his hands in greeting. Then he looked at Shen Gongbao and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are Shen Gongbao? I have been searching for you for so long!"

When Master Yuding saw that Shen Gongbao had arrived, he left first. He had no interest in listening to what the two had to say; his beloved disciple was still waiting for him.

Shen Gongbao was startled upon hearing this. He had heard of Caiyun Tongzi and knew that his strength was extraordinary. He had followed Nuwa since ancient times and had already attained the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

He should be addressed as a senior, not a fellow Daoist.

Judging from his current cultivation level, he is clearly only at the immortal realm.

Why is that?

Caiyun's words clearly indicate that she has been searching for him for a long time.

He had no recollection of ever having any connection with this Cloud Boy.

Shen Gongbao suppressed his doubts and cupped his hands to ask, "May I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Caiyun here?"

Caiyun Tongzi recounted the events in detail, saying that his current predicament was all caused by a fox demon, and that his Dao fruit had been shattered, causing his cultivation to regress.

He discovered a trace of the fox demon's aura in the wooden house on Fuling Mountain, and it was through the items left behind there that he finally found Shen Gongbao!

"Does anyone know where that fox demon is?"

Shen Gongbao: "I only had a temporary place of cultivation in Fuling Mountain before, and I don't remember there being any fox demons there."

"Fellow Daoist, do not deceive me. I am sworn to kill that fox demon. If I cannot extract her soul and refine her spirit, I will not be able to vent my hatred."

Caiyun Tongzi gritted his teeth.

Shen Gongbao frowned. He didn't remember any fox demon, but he guessed in his heart that it was related to Yang Jian.

All I could say was my guess: "If there really is a fox demon, perhaps it's related to one person!"

"Who?"

"Yang Jian!"

Shen Gongbao gritted his teeth: "I am also preparing to go to Chaoge to find him. I heard that Chaoge is in great chaos right now. That Grand Tutor Wen Zhong of Yin Shang is going on a killing spree in the city. If you are alright, fellow Daoist, we can go together for mutual support."

Jin'ao Island.

One month after Shiji left.

While Yang Jian was cultivating, he suddenly noticed a red light flashing from the spiritual jade in his sleeve, and he took it out.

It turns out that Shi Ji had given the other half of the Love Talisman to Su Daji.

With a quick probe, a line of writing appeared.

"I've heard that the Golden Spirit Mother is the most beautiful woman in the Jie Sect. Is the Golden Spirit Mother more beautiful than Su Daji?"

A smile unconsciously crept onto Yang Jian's lips. Su Daji's question was tricky and strange, but it couldn't stump him.

He controlled the magical power in his dantian and sent a message back to the spirit jade.

Thousands of miles away.

Su Daji, holding the jade talisman in her hand, was so angry she jumped up and down.

One of the replies was: I have face blindness and don't know anything about beauty.

After catching up,

Yang Jian had just inquired about the recent situation in Chaoge from Su Daji.

"Yuan Futong launched a rebellion in the northern border, claiming himself to be the legitimate ruler of the Yin Shang dynasty and installing Wei Zi Qi, whom he controlled, as king."

"After Yuan Futong rebelled, Emperor Xin enfeoffed Chong Houhu as the new Marquis of the North."

"Wen Zhong dispatched King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu, to lead troops into Shu to attack the ancient Shu Kingdom. After Yuan Futong's rebellion, Wen Zhong was preparing troops and was ready to personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion."

"Emperor Xin forbade the feudal lords from worshipping evil gods, and the feudal lords secretly harbored disloyal intentions. Emperor Xin then ordered the sons of the feudal lords to come to Chaoge as hostages."

"Besides Lady Shiji, many immortals from the Jie Sect have recently come to Chaoge."

"It turns out that the Heavenly Court had something behind Emperor Xin. These Jie Sect immortals wanted to eliminate the Heavenly Court's influence in Chaoge."

"Shen Gongbao appeared in Chaoge, accompanied by a boy. The boy looked at me strangely, but fortunately, Lady Shiji protected me, and he did not make any rash moves for the time being."

"Shen Gongbao inquired about your whereabouts and learned that you went to Jin'ao Island. He wanted to take Black Tiger away, but Wen Zhong captured him."

"A day ago, the boy beside Shen Gongbao got involved with Bi Gan. He kept staring at me. Could it be that he likes me?"

"Half a day ago, Venus arrived. He found Shen Gongbao, and it's unclear what he wanted to do! It seems he wanted to pay a price to take Shen Gongbao away from Wen Zhong."

Messages were transmitted from the command token in his hand.

Some of these things happened in the past month.

As for what follows, that refers to the situation that has occurred in the last two days.

When Yang Jian saw Taibai Xingjun find Shen Gongbao, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized something.

He hurriedly used the talisman in his hand to inform Su Daji: "The Heavenly Court is going to find Yang Chan. Have Senior Brother Wen Zhong stop Shen Gongbao and prevent him from leaving."

After sending the message, there was no reply for a long time.

Yang Jian was filled with anxiety, his attention focused on the talisman in his hand. He prayed that Wen Zhong would stop Shen Gongbao, otherwise Yang Chan would surely fall into the Heavenly Court's trap.

"Buzzing~"

The talisman in his hand vibrated.

Yang Jian's consciousness probed in, and his face instantly turned pale.

Inside was Su Daji's reply: "It's too late. Shen Gongbao has already left with Taibai Xingjun. Grand Tutor Wen sent Lady Shiji to pursue them, but Taibai Xingjun is at the Celestial Immortal realm, and his cultivation is the same as Lady Shiji's, so it should be difficult for him to catch up. Oh, by the way, Grand Tutor Wen asked me to ask you how you are feeling on Jin'ao Island. He said the best days are yet to come."

"What a special day?"

Su Daji sent a question.

Yang Jian's heart sank instantly; this was truly troublesome.

He casually replied, "It's nothing. Just tell Senior Brother Wen Zhong that they've distributed spirit treasures on the island. Anyone who is a disciple of the Jie Sect can receive a high-grade spirit treasure, along with refining materials personally prepared by the Golden Spirit Mother."

Yang Jian was not lying. When he met the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit before, she told him that the refined iron nurtured by the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit was for the disciples of the Jie Sect to refine magical treasures.
