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

Chapter 15 Obtaining the Supreme Spiritual Treasure, the Heavenly Sword Dao

Tongtian looked at Zhao Gongming and nodded slightly. With a thought, twenty-four precious pearls appeared in mid-air.

Twenty-four precious pearls were gathered together, crystal clear, radiating five-colored light.

Behind him, forty-eight innate, indestructible spiritual lights flickered in and out of sight.

These twenty-four beads were actually a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Zhao Gongming, Duobao, and the others held their breath as they stared at the magical treasure, their minds reeling with astonishment.

Surely my master wouldn't just use a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?

Where is Zhao Gongming?

A majestic and awe-inspiring voice resounded.

"Disciple is here."

Zhao Gongming quickly stepped forward, his expression devout and respectful.

"As the chief disciple of my Shangqing lineage, I entrust these twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to you."

With a thought, Tongtian's Divine Pearl fell into Zhao Gongming's hands.

"This disciple thanks Master."

Zhao Gongming held the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and respectfully expressed his gratitude, feeling that the magical treasure possessed boundless power.

It is in no way inferior to the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner, the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, and so on in his hands.

"This magical treasure is incredibly powerful. You must use it wisely and never use it to bully the weak or oppress your fellow disciples."

Tongtian added another warning.

"Disciple understands."

Duobao and the others looked at Zhao Gongming with envy.

This top-ranking position is incredibly tempting; he directly received a top-grade innate spiritual treasure as a reward from his master.

After bestowing the spiritual treasure upon Zhao Gongming, it was Duobao Daoren's turn next.

What was given to Duobao was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Immortal-Suppressing Sword.

Although its grade is not as high as the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, its power is equally astonishing.

The Taoist priest, who had initially looked somewhat envious, immediately became beaming with joy.

While a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure is not as good as a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it is still quite good.

Next, Tongtian bestowed upon Jinling a Four Symbols Pagoda.

He bestowed upon the tortoise spirit a Sun and Moon Pearl.

He bestowed upon Wudang a ceremonial handkerchief adorned with eight trigrams and dragon whiskers.

When it was the turn of the Three Immortals, Tongtian originally intended to bestow upon them a magical treasure for attacking enemies.

But when the three of them took out the Golden Dragon Scissors, they immediately fell silent.

Instead, he bestowed upon the three a Mountain and Sea Map, which was also a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with unparalleled defensive capabilities.

With the addition of the Golden Dragon Scissors, it is both offensive and defensive, making it practically perfect.

After bestowing the treasures, Tongtian spoke again.

"You all have the treasures. Next, I will pass on the Shangqing lineage to you."

With a thought, Tongtian placed three jade slips in front of everyone.

The first jade slip was named Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing.

This was created after he achieved the Great Perfection of the Quasi-Sainthood through the attainment of the Dao.

It forms a complete system, fully revealing the essence of cultivation within the Shangqing lineage.

The second jade slip contains the Supreme Purity Divine Thunder, one of the Three Pure Divine Thunders, which is incredibly powerful and can subdue all demons and monsters in the primordial world!

The third jade slip contains the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang.

The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang were created by Hongjun Daozu of Zixiao Palace.

Each one is an unparalleled supernatural power; when cultivated to its extreme, one can comprehend the power of laws.

After handing the three jade slips to everyone, the Tongtian Sect Leader spoke.

"After you return, study this carefully. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask your teacher at any time."

Outer disciples only receive one opportunity to be guided by Tongtian once every five hundred years.

The fact that one can personally teach disciples and consult with Tongtian at any time clearly demonstrates the difference in their abilities.

After Tongtian finished speaking, he added, "By the way, Gongming, stay behind. I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh, oh."

Zhao Gongming nodded.

After sending Duobao and the others away, only Tongtian and Zhao Gongming remained in the Shangqing Palace.

Tongtian looked Zhao Gongming up and down and couldn't help but sigh.

"Gongming, your talent in swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, a rarity even in the primordial era. Would you like to learn the way of the sword?"

"kendo?"

Zhao Gongming nodded vigorously, "This disciple wishes to learn."

"Alright, after some time, I will personally give you a celestial sword, and at that time, I will also teach you the supreme swordsmanship of the Shangqing lineage."

Tongtian solemnly stated that his lineage, Shangqing, was unparalleled in both sword and formation techniques.

His disciples must carry forward and develop what he is best at.

"This disciple thanks Master."

Zhao Gongming quickly expressed his gratitude.

After saying that, he looked at the many array flags planted around Shangqing Palace and tentatively asked a question.

"Master, besides wanting to learn swordsmanship, I also wish to learn the art of formations. I wonder if you could teach me?"

"Oh, why do you want to learn the art of formations?"

He sought the Dao from the heavens.

"The art of formations is profound and complex. Just as Master said, it can trap, confuse, suppress, and kill the enemy. It is ever-changing and its uses are endless when applied correctly. Therefore, this disciple wishes to learn it."

Tongtian frowned slightly. "Learning even one of the arts of formations and swordsmanship is difficult enough. What if learning two hinders your cultivation?"

Zhao Gongming firmly replied, "This disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and will not neglect one aspect for another."

Tongtian had no choice but to flick his hand, and another jade slip fell into Zhao Gongming's hand.

"This is a true explanation of array formations that I compiled myself. It is easy to understand. You can study it on your own. If you don't understand something, just come and ask me anytime."

"Disciple thanks Master."

Zhao Gongming quickly expressed his gratitude, feeling excited. His master was indeed easy to talk to and had a straightforward personality.

If it were the Second Master of the Primordial Beginning, who would be so greedy?

I'm afraid I'll be considered unrealistic and severely punished.

"Go."

With a wave of his hand, Tongtian sent a gust of wind that pushed Zhao Gongming out of the Shangqing Palace.

"Big brother, you're out?" Outside Shangqing Palace, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao cried out in surprise when they saw Zhao Gongming emerge.

"Didn't Master tell you to find a palace to stay in? Why didn't you go?"

Yunxiao, holding the little black tiger, laughed and said, "How can we act on our own if our big brother doesn't come out?"

"Let's go find a place to stay."

Zhao Gongming took the little black tiger from Yunxiao's arms and led the three Xiaos to a palace to stay.

The palaces near Shangqing Palace were all perfect, and Zhao Gongming and his men searched for a long time but could not find any that were good or bad.

So they chose four adjacent palaces to live in.

After entering the palace, Zhao Gongming looked at the obedient little black tiger, thought for a moment, and decided to pass on the Tiger God Overlord Technique to the little black tiger.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the teaching was completed, and Black Tiger's entire demeanor and spirit were completely transformed.

They kept shouting around Zhao Gongming, their voices filled with gratitude.

"You should stay here and cultivate yourself, and try not to go out."

After giving the little black tiger some instructions, Zhao Gongming went directly into the palace and began his cultivation.

Of the four jade slips bestowed by Tongtian, the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture needs little further study.

Because he possesses the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, which encompasses everything.

No matter how profound the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture is, could it possibly surpass the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique?

The Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder is extremely powerful and is a form of thunder magic, so Zhao Gongming decided to cultivate it.

Next, it was the Shangqing Formation, which Zhao Gongming also decided to dedicate some time to studying.

As for swordsmanship, Zhao Gongming has nothing to worry about.

With the system's enhancement, his swordsmanship aptitude was almost on par with Tongtian's.

Furthermore, having condensed a sword seed, sword cultivation becomes as simple as eating and drinking.

He only needs to wait for the immortal sword that Tongtian forged for him to be completed, and he can immediately begin to cultivate the way of the sword.
