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

Chapter 91 The Formation of the Rules of Gongming's Treasure Distribution

"When I was traveling through the prehistoric world, I happened to pass by the East Sea, where the three immortal islands of Yingzhou, Penglai, and Fangzhang were opened. These treasures were obtained from these three immortal islands."

Zhao Gongming explained.

"So these are the legendary three fairy islands!"

Duobao and the others showed a hint of envy on their faces. They had also been through the primordial world back then, so they naturally knew about the three immortal islands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang.

That was a celestial island that existed before the creation of the world by the great god Pangu, before the primordial chaos was divided.

The island contains the power of the world's rules and is full of incredible mysteries.

It's not surprising that the eldest disciple was able to ascend to the three immortal islands and obtain these resources.

A smile flashed across Jin Ling's face. "In the past, there were many conflicts between the disciples of the Shangqing lineage and the Yuqing lineage. With so many resources, we will surpass the disciples of the Yuqing lineage. It's just around the corner. When we see that time, what face will the disciples of the Yuqing lineage have to swagger in front of us?"

Wu Dang echoed, "Of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun, the one I dislike the most is Ju Liusun. He doesn't have much strength, but he likes to spout nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming sighed inwardly, realizing that the conflict between Shangqing and Yuqing was deepening day by day.

He said seriously, "Remember this well: I will not offend others unless they offend me. We will not provoke the Yuqing disciples, but if they keep talking nonsense and say things like 'born from moisture and eggs' or 'wearing fur and horns,' then don't hesitate to teach them a lesson."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Duobao and the others said in unison.

After the resources were divided, Duobao and the others left one by one.

Only the Three Immortals of Sanxiao remained. Their cultivation was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, just one step away from condensing the Three Flowers on their heads and attaining the Dao of Taiyi.

Zhao Gongming gifted the Three Immortals a bottle of Enlightenment Tea and gave each of them a large basket of Peach Trees.

They were carefully instructed for a year before they all left.

Next, Zhao Gongming went into seclusion. This time, the seclusion was not for cultivation, but to prepare for in-depth study of the religious rules.

As for his cultivation level, Zhao Gongming is currently at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and it is almost impossible for him to break through to the Daluo realm in a short period of time.

It's important to know that to break through to the Great Luo realm, besides comprehending one-tenth of the power of laws, one also needs to cultivate one's mental state.

Otherwise, if one's power of the Law of Light improves but one's mental state remains stagnant, then one will be unable to control the power of the Law.

At that time, let alone attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and becoming an immortal who is indestructible, one might even develop inner demons that would constantly trouble one's cultivation and prevent further progress.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. A powerful aura emanated from Zhao Gongming's palace, transforming into a storm that swept through the palace.

Soon, the storm subsided, and Zhao Gongming's figure appeared in the hall.

"Finally, the church rules are sorted out."

Zhao Gongming exhaled a breath of turbid air, and with a flick of his wrist, a jade slip appeared in his hand.

The jade slip contains Zhao Gongming's achievements over the past ten years.

Among them are three major precepts, which are also the most severely punished precepts.

The three major rules are as follows: First, anyone who joins the Shangqing lineage becomes a disciple of the Shangqing sect. After entering the sect, one must abide by the rules and regulations and must not deceive the master or betray the ancestors. Anyone who violates this rule will have their cultivation abolished, their true spirit shattered, and will never be able to reincarnate!

Article Two: All disciples of the Shangqing lineage shall not commit adultery, kidnapping, oppressing fellow disciples, or harming fellow practitioners. Anyone who violates this rule shall have their cultivation abolished, their true spirit shattered, and shall never be reincarnated!

Article 3: All disciples of the Shangqing lineage, in addition to focusing on cultivation, should also focus on moral cultivation. They must not be reckless, kill living beings at will, eat raw meat and drink blood, commit karmic offenses, or be tainted by evil energy. Those who violate this rule will have their cultivation abolished, their true spirit shattered, and will never be able to be reborn!

In order to prevent the Shangqing lineage from repeating the same mistakes, committing boundless karmic sins, and having its fortune completely exhausted, Zhao Gongming went to great lengths.

These three major rules are the bottom line for Zhao Gongming's rules; once the line is crossed, Heaven will unleash its killing intent.

In addition, there are hundreds of other rules and regulations, with varying degrees of punishment, used to discipline the disciples.

After scanning the area once more, Zhao Gongming rang the golden bell outside the palace.

"Knock knock knock!"

The melodious bell tolled, spreading in all directions, and soon several figures arrived together.

It was Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, Guiling, and the Three Immortals.

Zhao Gongming summoned these people to have them check for any omissions or loopholes in the rules and regulations.

Duobao led the group into the hall, cupped his hands to Zhao Gongming, and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother."

"Did our senior brother call us here because the sect rules are ready?"

Duobao and the others also knew that their master had asked their eldest brother to work on the rules of the sect.

Zhao Gongming nodded. "It is indeed done. I called you here to see if there is anything to add. Everyone, please speak freely. If you have anything to say, just say it."

After Zhao Gongming finished speaking, he waved his hand and made several copies of the jade slip, which he then threw to the crowd.

The group began to peruse the book, but soon, Bixiao, one of the Three Immortals, had a slight change in expression.

"Senior Brother, isn't this third rule of the sect, which states that committing a sin and being tainted by evil energy will directly shatter one's true spirit and cause one to be reduced to ashes, a bit too harsh?"

Duo Bao frowned as well, "Senior Brother, I also think the third rule is a bit too harsh."

Those who can come to Kunlun Mountain to become disciples must all have some cultivation. We are all from the primordial world, full of deceit and treachery, and the human heart is treacherous. Who doesn't carry a trace of evil aura and karma?

If we were to annihilate them because of these things, it would probably scare away all the disciples who came to become our disciples.

Zhao Gongming shook his head and said, "What I mean is that after joining my Shangqing lineage, you can no longer kill at will and get tainted by karma. Besides, a thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole. This rule may seem a bit strict, but it is not to restrict disciples from killing, but to restrict them from killing indiscriminately and committing karma."

"As you all know, there are rules and restrictions in the primordial world. If a cultivator with high cultivation level slaughters a large number of people with lower cultivation level, he will be tainted with endless karma. When the karma becomes too strong, the heavens will unleash their killing intent, and he will instantly turn to ashes and perish."

"After joining my Shangqing lineage, you become a disciple of my Xuanmen. If you continue to act as you did in the primordial era, killing indiscriminately, you will ruin the fortune of my Shangqing lineage. Such a person is an enemy of my Shangqing lineage. To deal with enemies, one must be as cold as the winter."

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, everyone fell silent.

Upon closer reflection, what my senior brother said actually made a lot of sense.

"Senior Brother's insight is brilliant; we had not considered this thoroughly."

Duobao said sincerely.

"Brother Gongming, we didn't think this through."

Bixiao also lowered her head.

"It's alright. The purpose of inviting you all here is to brainstorm and speak freely. If you have anything to say, just say it."
