Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 105: The Distorted Discussion of Ksitigarbha Begins!

The pharmacist and his companions quickly bowed and paid their respects to the Three Pure Ones and the others, their eyes filled with reverence.

"Pharmacist."

Maitreya.

"Mahasthamaprapta".

"Ksitigarbha".

"Greetings to my esteemed senior uncle, the Three Pure Ones. I wish you a speedy enlightenment and attainment of sainthood."

Zhunti, Jieyin, and their disciples were extremely courteous; even the picky Yuanshi could not find a single fault with them.

Sanqing also showed a faint smile on his face and waved his hand.

"We are all from the same sect. My two junior brothers, and all my fellow disciples, why be so formal?"

After saying that, he used his magic to lift up the Medicine Master, Maitreya, and the others.

Then the Three Pure Ones turned to look at their disciples.

"Hurry up and pay your respects to your two Western uncles."

"Yes."

The disciples of the Yuqing and Shangqing lineages acknowledged this, then turned and bowed to Zhunti and Jieyin.

"Zhao Gongming of the Yuqing lineage, Guangchengzi, and Shangqing lineage pays respects to his Uncle-Master Zhunti and Uncle-Master Jieyin."

"We are all from the same lineage of the Xuanmen, so please, fellow disciples, make no need for formalities."

Zhunti and Jieyin also unleashed their magic power, lifting Guangchengzi and Zhao Gongming up.

After Zhao Gongming stood up, his gaze unconsciously swept over the four disciples, including the Medicine Master and Maitreya, before finally settling on Ksitigarbha.

There is no other reason than that the aura emanating from Ksitigarbha is the purest.

In stark contrast to the cunning and calculating nature of the pharmacist and Maitreya, Maitreya's expression was one of deep shrewdness.

"It's a pity that such a promising talent was ultimately led astray by Buddhism."

Zhao Gongming sighed. The Buddhist sect is mediocre in all skills, but their ability to bewitch people is truly first-rate.

Even if all the people in the Xuanmen sect were combined, they would still be far behind him.

As far as he knew, Ksitigarbha was originally an Eastern monk.

One day, while traveling through the primordial wilderness, he was guided and discovered by Zhunti, who led him to become a disciple of the Western Paradise.

In the future, Ksitigarbha will transform into Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, willingly making a supreme vow: "I will not become a Buddha until hell is emptied." He will reside in the underworld, continuously planning for the fortune of Buddhism, and will become a completely loyal believer in Buddhism.

"Why is Senior Brother sighing for no reason?"

A look of doubt flashed across Duobao's face, and he couldn't help but look over.

"It's nothing, just expressing my feelings."

At this moment, Yuqing Yuanshi spoke, his expression returning to its previous dignified state, and he spoke indifferently to Zhunti and Jieyin.

"Zhunti, what brings you two junior brothers from the west to my Kunlun Mountain?"

Like Tongtian, Yuanshi also disliked the Western duo.

As a dignified Quasi-Saint cultivator, one should have one's own strong demeanor. What kind of person would play the victim and cry every day?

Upon hearing Yuanshi's question, Jieyin had nothing to hide and went straight to the point, sighing with a worried expression.

"Thousands of years have passed since we last heard the Sage Nuwa preach in the chaos, and we still do not understand the Holy Path. Today, besides wanting to discuss the Dao with our Senior Brother Sanqing, we also want to inquire whether Senior Brother Sanqing has found his own Holy Path?"

"The path to sainthood is difficult and obscure, and we have gained nothing from it."

Sanqing had nothing to hide and simply shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Zhunti and Jieyin also sighed, their faces showing a sorrowful expression.

But they felt immense joy in their hearts. In fact, they had already guessed what was going on when they first arrived at Kunlun Mountain.

Whenever the Three Pure Ones attain enlightenment and realize the holy path, their aura will be vastly different from usual.

However, upon seeing them today, it is clear that the aura of the Three Pure Ones is only slightly deeper than it was when Nuwa preached the Dao in chaos thousands of years ago; there is no essential difference between them.

As they had expected, the Three Pure Ones, like them, had not yet attained enlightenment of the Holy Path.

Zhunti and Jieyin felt a sense of balance. Even the Three Pure Ones had not yet comprehended the Holy Path, so it was understandable that they were stuck in a bottleneck.

Taiqing nodded slightly. "If my two junior brothers wish to discuss the Dao, please come with us to the Sanqing Hall."

Zhunti and Jieyin agreed, then their gazes fell on the Pharmacist and the others. "What about my disciples..."

Taiqing instantly understood and smiled, "Master Yaoshi and the other junior disciples are probably visiting Kunlun Mountain for the first time. Kunlun Mountain is vast, so you can rest or play as you please."

Zhunti and Jieyin were finally relieved and earnestly gave instructions to the pharmacists.

"Mount Kunlun is the ancestor of all mountains, the location of the Eastern spiritual vein, a place of outstanding people and abundant resources. You must not miss this opportunity."

"Yes, disciple will certainly live up to Master's teachings."

The pharmacist clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "We understand what our master means. We should take this opportunity to extract more resources from Kunlun Mountain."

Even if they don't need it, their future junior brothers and sisters will.

After Zhunti and Jieyin finished speaking, they flew together toward the Sanqing Hall, clearly about to begin a discussion on the Dao.

Discussions on the Dao are a way for people to verify each other's own Dao, which can be inspiring and resonate with cultivators of the same level.

The Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin all hoped to use this discussion to further advance their own spiritual path and gain a clearer understanding of the Great Dao.

However, Zhao Gongming, Guang Chengzi, and the disciples such as Yaoshi were unable to enjoy such an opportunity.

The Three Pure Ones' discussion of Taoism and Nuwa's discourse on Taoism are not the same concept.

Nuwa's sermons were not expounding her own Dao, but rather using her own Dao to expound the Dao of Heaven and Earth. They were suitable for all cultivators who came to listen, and would greatly benefit their own cultivation.

However, the Three Pure Ones expound their own quasi-saintly path, in order to gain inspiration from the Great Dao.

Even if Zhao Gongming and the others went to the Sanqing Hall to listen to the lectures, they couldn't understand a thing, just like the Wu tribe when they went to Chaos to listen to the lectures.

After the Three Pure Ones departed, Zhao Gongming stepped forward first and said with a smile, "My Kunlun Mountain boasts towering peaks and flowing waters, countless mountains and valleys, and numerous beautiful sights. Fellow Daoists from the West, would you like us to show you around?"

Although Zhao Gongming didn't have a good impression of the large group of Westerners, he still had to show the demeanor of a great religion.

The pharmacist cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Gongming. We brothers and I can just wander around on our own; there's no need to trouble ourselves."

Zhao Gongming nodded, but didn't say anything. "If you need anything, just let us know."

After saying this, he led a group of Shangqing disciples away from the Sanqing Hall.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm is an excellent opportunity for accumulation and consolidation; he couldn't be more eager to give him more time to cultivate.

As for what the pharmacist and the others were after, Zhao Gongming had already guessed it. They simply wanted to fleece him from Kunlun Mountain, picking some spiritual roots, immortal herbs, rare medicines, and some exotic flowers and fruits.

Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of all mountains, is not short of these things, and Zhao Gongming is not willing to waste time on them.

Soon, the disciples of Zhao Gongming and Guang Chengzi's lineages all left.

Ksitigarbha's eyes swept over the beautiful scenery of Kunlun Mountain, and a great exclamation flashed across his face. "Truly worthy of being called the ancestor of all mountains, Kunlun Mountain! The concentration of spiritual energy is more than a hundred times that of my Mount Sumeru!"

The pharmacist urged from the side, "Ksitigarbha, don't just stand there, hurry up and act, such a good opportunity doesn't come often."

Ksitigarbha then realized what was happening and hesitated, saying, "Brother Medicine Master, this is the sacred site of the Three Pure Ones. Is it appropriate for us to do this?"

Upon hearing this, the pharmacist's face darkened. "You've all been wasting your time listening to your master and uncles' reprimands. We're all from the primordial world; what are noodles compared to resources? Resources are the most important thing. Only with resources can you become supreme cultivators. Then, who will dare to look down on us?"

Ksitigarbha nodded as if he understood, "Brother Medicine Master, I think I understand now."

"If you understand, then hurry up and take action! Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of all mountains, this is a rare opportunity."

"Yes, senior brother."

Ksitigarbha transformed into a streak of light and vanished in the blink of an eye.

The pharmacist pondered for a while, then flew out as well. Wherever he passed, not a blade of grass grew. He accepted even the spiritual roots and immortal herbs of the Earth Immortal and Heaven Immortal levels.

Inside the Sanqing Hall, the Three Pure Ones—Zhunti and Jieyin—began to expound their own Great Dao. The Dao was profound and mysterious, with flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses springing from the ground. The rich Dao essence, like a storm, directly engulfed the Sanqing Hall.

Time flies, and five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the surging and intense Daoist energy in the Sanqing Hall, which was like a storm, slowly dissipated!
