Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 80: Zhao Gongming comprehends the Way of Commerce, obtains the Treasure Basin and breaks through to Quasi-Saint level; Randeng travels and encounters Zhunti; Western Mystic Arts.

Twenty years later, Longshan Mountain is filled with a rich literary atmosphere, and the wisps of literary and Taoist charm make the sky above Longshan Mountain tremble.

The literary path has evolved into three thousand forms, its boundless and profound aura as vast as the sea, causing the literary energy of the entire Longshan Mountain to tilt downwards. A dazzling brilliance appeared in the sky, the literary aura of the path burning fiercely, like a galaxy falling, which was noticed by countless disciples of the Longshan literary path.

Su Shao Chen's original cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal was enhanced by the endless literary Dao charm, causing his aura to fluctuate and a powerful pressure to sweep across Dragon Mountain.

A wisp of Taiyi Golden Immortal mid-stage aura erupted from Su Shao Chen, allowing Shang Wu, who was not far away, to sense the change in Longshan.

Su Shao Chen also woke up from his seclusion at this time. Sensing the power of a mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and a sense of power arose spontaneously.

After breaking through to the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, Su Shao Chen prepared to visit his friend Kong Xuan at Sanshan Pass. If there was still time, he would also visit Skull Mountain to see Shi Ji before returning to Jin'ao Island.

Today, with killing intent lurking, and the human race undergoing a dramatic change due to martial arts, a renewed war is brewing. When martial arts flourish in the future, the human race may be even more different from before...

With this in mind, Su Shao Chen activated the Traveling Word Technique to leave Dragon Mountain, travel among the human race, and head towards Three Mountain Pass.

However, as soon as he stepped out of Longshan, he heard his senior uncle Zhao Gongming's voice resound throughout the prehistoric world.

At the same time, a high-grade innate spiritual treasure appeared in the primordial world on its own initiative, as if summoned by Zhao Gongming, and released an aura towards the Heavenly Court where Zhao Gongming was located.

"Heaven above, I, Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect, have now comprehended the Primordial Business Way. Feeling that the Primordial World's wealth is incomplete and its business way is inadequate, I hereby establish the Primordial Business Way to welcome good fortune and prosperity, and to exert the power to attract treasures, collect valuables, attract wealth, and bring profits to the market, thus unifying the Primordial World's wealth and trade."

In the Primordial Heavenly Court, ever since Zhao Gongming comprehended the opportunity to become a Quasi-Saint, he has been studying the Great Dao of Wealth and understanding the Way of Business. Now that his destiny has been fulfilled, the aura of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal has begun to transform into that of a Quasi-Saint.

"I now use the Treasure Basin and twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to suppress the fortune of the commercial path, and establish the Twenty-Four Heavens of the Primordial Commercial Path, appointing the Civil God of Wealth and the Martial God of Wealth to promote the primordial way of wealth and commerce. I hope Heaven will bear witness!"

Zhao Gongming's voice was initially only heard by the celestial officials of the Heavenly Court, but with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Laws, Zhao Gongming's voice resounded throughout the prehistoric world. The profound Daoist rhymes were noticed by all the great powers of the prehistoric world, and their eyes all turned to the Heavenly Court and to the Jie Sect of Jin'ao Island!

"Approved!" The supreme Daoist voice rang out, and a large mass of merit fell into Zhao Gongming's body. Instantly, heavenly flowers rained down from the heavens, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

Zhao Gongming, who had just broken through to the Quasi-Saint level and whose aura was still somewhat unstable, was instantly stabilized at the initial stage of Quasi-Saint under the blessing of this mass of merit, making him several times stronger than when he first entered the Quasi-Saint level.

Upon seeing this, countless celestial officials in the Heavenly Court also bowed and shouted, "We pay our respects to the God of Wealth! Congratulations, True Lord, on your breakthrough to Quasi-Saint! Your future on the Great Dao is promising!"

When the disciples of Jin'ao Island heard that their senior brother Zhao Gongming had also broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, they were all overjoyed. This breakthrough meant that their second-generation disciples had gained another Quasi-Saint!

Even Tongtian Jiaozhu couldn't help but re-examine Zhao Gongming's future. Originally, his traces could still be found in the river of time and space, but now that he had understood the way of business, Zhao Gongming's future in the river of time and space was blurred, as if there were endless new life and endless opportunities. Even all the killing and karma from before were hard to find now, which made Tongtian Jiaozhu extremely happy.

This scene is so much like what happened to Qiongxiao; the cause and effect have been resolved, and the great calamity to come can be avoided...

Although Zhao Gongming may not have completely eliminated karma like Qiongxiao, he did change the future, alter his own destiny, and seize the one that had escaped from the primordial world!

Even if he personally used the methods of a sage, with the great law of the Intercepting Sect, to intercept a piece of heavenly secret, he could only see that the karma on Zhao Gongming was weak and the calamity of killing was shallow, thus changing his destined fate!

"My way is not wrong, nor is the way of Heaven. All things have their own way of escaping..." Tongtian murmured to himself, his saintly aura making all the disciples of Jin'ao Island aware of it.

Immediately afterward, the Tongtian Sect Leader's gaze pierced through the void, looking at the Heavenly Court, at the Zixiao Palace, and at the Investiture of the Gods: "This great calamity is a time of slaughter, but also an opportunity for our Jie Sect to defy fate!"

Thinking of this, Tongtian Jiaozhu summoned Jinling and Wudang. Among his personal disciples, only the two of them were still at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. This time, Tongtian also planned to let them enter the Heavenly Court to assume divine positions, to see if the two of them could also obtain the opportunity to comprehend the Quasi-Saint Covenant and change their future destiny.

Bixiao, who was perfecting her path to Quasi-Sainthood in Bixia Mountain, heard the commotion of her elder brother's attainment of Quasi-Sainthood. Her figure disappeared from Bixia Mountain and appeared in the Heavenly Court the next moment. After congratulating her elder brother, she returned to Bixia Mountain to continue perfecting her path to Quasi-Sainthood.

She has now completed half of the method for becoming a Quasi-Saint. If given more time, she can refine and perfect the technique and immediately become a Quasi-Saint.

The voice of Haotian, from the Heavenly Court, echoed throughout the primordial world.

"The God of Wealth, the True Lord of the Dragon and Tiger Altar, has broken through to the Quasi-Saint level and shall be bestowed the title of the Great Emperor Who Brings Blessings and Wealth from the Nine Heavens, to traverse the primordial commercial path and control the primordial wealth!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is wise!"

"Zhao Gongming accepts the decree and will live up to the Heavenly Emperor's expectations!" Zhao Gongming replied, bowing with his hands clasped.

Since he grasped the Quasi-Saintly Opportunity and comprehended the Way of the God of Wealth, he has undergone a complete transformation, gaining a clear understanding of his future cultivation direction and the Great Way of Cultivation.

Given enough time, Zhao Gongming was even confident that he could cultivate to the high level of Quasi-Saint, or even the peak of Quasi-Saint, and was even confident that he could rival the top gods of the Primordial World!

In addition, the twenty Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in his hands, which manifested into the Twenty-Four Heavens, brought him even more merit.

In the depths of his being, he could sense that the Twenty-Four Heavens were not yet complete, lacking twelve more. Whenever he reforged the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, a guiding force always led him to look towards Kunlun, as if his destiny lay there. Only by confronting this person could he avert countless calamities and truly hope for the Great Dao in the future…

Kunlun Mountain, the sacred site of the sage.

After hearing that Zhao Gongming had attained Quasi-Sainthood and used the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to create the Twenty-Four Heavens, Randeng seemed to have lost something extremely important. Whenever he tried to comprehend the Great Dao, the images of the Twenty-Four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and Zhao Gongming would always appear in his mind...

Thinking of this, Randeng felt that it was possible that Cihang, Manjushri and others were secretly investigating what he had said, which had tempted his Dao heart. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to travel through the prehistoric world to stabilize his Dao heart, and also to think carefully about what Cihang had told him about entering the Western Paradise.

Just as Dipankara Buddha emerged from Kunlun Mountain, both Jieyin and Zhunti, the Bodhisattvas of Mount Sumeru in the west, sensed that Dipankara Buddha had left Kunlun Mountain.

The two exchanged a smile, and Zhunti's figure disappeared into Mount Sumeru.

Cihang, Manjushri, Julusun, and Puxian also gathered together. They had come together on their own initiative after learning that the Vice Master was going to travel through the prehistoric world.

"Will Teacher Ran Deng tell the teacher what we're thinking?" Ju Liusun asked, somewhat fearfully.
