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

Chapter 99: Zhunti, with his incredibly thick skin, returns to Kunlun Mountain!

After Donghuang Taiyi fought the five Ancestral Witches and vented his anger, he stopped and, together with Dijun, bowed to Nuwa, saying, "We take our leave."

After saying this, the two demon emperors, along with the nine demon saints, Kunpeng, and Fuxi, left the Chaos.

Seeing the two demon emperors so angry, the ten ancestral witches became even more smug.

After bowing to Nuwa in a carefree manner, the man, with the same swaggering gait, left.

With the departure of the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, the number of powerful beings present was even smaller, leaving only the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, Styx, and the Queen Mother of the West, among other veteran top-tier beings.

Suddenly, Zhunti and Jieyin, dressed in Taoist robes and with a sorrowful expression, smiled at Zhao Gongming and said, "Nephew, may I speak with you in private?"

Zhao Gongming was startled and immediately became vigilant.

Everyone knows that the Western duo are the most shameless and shameless among the great powers of the primordial world. Although they are Western cultivators, they have been using the excuse of traveling to the East to plunder resources from the East for many years, and they don't know how many resources they have plundered to fill the gap in the West.

His four disciples—Bhaisajyaguru, Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, and Ksitigarbha—were all stuffed with food, their bellies round and full.

Compared to the disciples of the great Eastern sects, his cultivation level was not at all inferior; he was extremely powerful.

Zhao Gongming originally didn't want to pay attention to Zhunti and Jieyin, because during the Investiture of the Gods, it was the Western duo who, together with Taiqing and Yuqing, launched the great war to destroy the Jie Sect.

However, at present, the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has not yet begun, and neither Zhunti nor Jieyin has betrayed Xuanxue and established Buddhism.

He's still nominally his senior in the martial arts school, so we have to give him that much face.

Besides, with his master right beside him, I doubt that Zhunti and Jieyin could cause any trouble.

Zhunti, Jieyin, and Zhao Gongming walked to the side, and Zhunti's face showed a very bright smile.

"May I ask, Nephew Gongming, what exactly did you say to the Sage Nuwa on Phoenix Perch Mountain that enabled her to attain enlightenment?"

Zhao Gongming cupped his hands in greeting, "Didn't the sage already say this before he began his sermon? I only unintentionally reminded him, but I've truly forgotten what he said. Please forgive me, my two senior uncles."

"Was it really just a few casual words?"

"It's that simple!"

The suffering on Zhunti and Jieyin's faces was even more profound. Although they had gained some knowledge from listening to the sage's teachings for three thousand years, the gains were not that great.

At least on the path to enlightenment, they are still completely clueless.

I originally wanted to get some secrets from Zhao Gongming, but it seems that it won't be of much use now.

Suddenly, Zhunti's eyes darted around. "How are you feeling since you joined the Shangqing lineage, Nephew Gongming?"

Zhao Gongming said, "I am very grateful for Master's kindness and the close relationship between my fellow disciples. They are like family."

"Does your junior brother Gongming have any thoughts about coming to my Western Paradise to be my senior brother? Don't worry, you will definitely not be treated unfairly."

Zhao Gongming was taken aback, and immediately said to Tongtian, "Master, Uncle-Master Zhunti said he wants me to become his disciple. What do you think?"

"Buzz!"

The Qingping Sword, which had been hanging beside Tongtian, was instantly unsheathed. Its boundless sword energy swept through the chaos, shattered the stars, and pointed directly at Zhunti.

"Zhunti, say it again so I can see?"

Although his cultivation level was the highest among the six people recruited by the Dao Ancestor, his combat strength was outstanding.

Zhunti dared not argue with Tongtian, and quickly said with a smile, "It was just a joke, nothing more. Why did you take it so seriously, Senior Brother Tongtian?"

Tongtian snorted coldly, "If I hear those words again, I'll cut off the top of your Mount Sumeru."

At this moment, Styx, who had been deep in thought, slowly raised his eyes. In his blood-red eyes, a sea of ​​blood churned and ebbed. He had an epiphany and cupped his hands, saying, "Styx takes his leave."

After he finished speaking, an endless sea of ​​blood unfolded beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, the Styx River disappeared into the chaos.

Subsequently, Zhen Yuanzi, west Wangmu, and other top-tier powerful figures also took their leave.

The Three Pure Ones also had a thought, and their magical power condensed into a white cloud, lifting all their disciples up and setting off towards the primordial land.

On the auspicious clouds, none of the disciples spoke; instead, they sat cross-legged with their eyes closed, lost in thought.

The sage preached for three thousand years and gained immense knowledge; only after reflection and contemplation can one truly benefit from it.

Zhao Gongming is currently focusing on comprehending the laws of space.

According to Zhao Gongming's estimate, he has already comprehended about seven-tenths of the laws of space.

In other words, he is only three points away from meeting the requirements for attaining the Great Luo Dao.

During this period, in addition to comprehending the laws, Zhao Gongming accumulated magical power and foundation so that he could open more grades of the Three Flowers when he attained enlightenment in the future!

The number of varieties a flower can bloom does not necessarily indicate how far one can go on the path of enlightenment.

He was merely reflecting your accumulation and refinement at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

The flower has three grades; it may seem worthless, but it also holds the hope of attaining sainthood!

Even with the aptitude of the Dao Ancestor to attain the Great Luo realm, it's possible that he might be stuck at the peak of the Taiyi realm, unable to break through for a long time.

Nevertheless, Zhao Gongming still planned to take his time to reflect before making a breakthrough.

The student surpasses the teacher; one must at least reach the ninth rank, surpassing one's own master.

Cultivation is tedious and boring. Time flies by in the chaos. When Zhao Gongming opened his eyes again, he had already returned to Kunlun Mountain and Shangqing Palace.

At this moment, the hall was empty except for Tongtian and Zhao Gongming.

"You were the last to awaken; you must have benefited greatly from listening to the lecture while still in a state of confusion, right?"

Tongtian looked at Zhao Gongming with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction. His disciple was outstanding, exceptionally outstanding.

Anyway, when Chaos was giving his sermon, Zhao Gongming glanced at all the disciples accepted by the great masters, and none of them could compare to his own eldest disciple.

Zhao Gongming stood up, bowed to Tongtian, and said, "Master, I have indeed gained a lot. Listening to the sage's teachings has given me a deeper understanding of the Great Dao. Although cultivation is still difficult, I have a goal in mind. As long as I pursue that goal, I will reach it one day."

"That's good. The path of cultivation lies in taking one step at a time, being down-to-earth. It's good that you've grasped this point."

Zhao Gongming countered, "During this sage's sermon, has Master gained enlightenment regarding his own path to sainthood?"

Tongtian sighed, "Becoming a saint is more difficult than ascending to heaven. Even if one listens to the teachings of saints, one can only accumulate more knowledge. On the path to sainthood, one still has no clue."

Zhao Gongming comforted him, "Master, don't be discouraged. Countless years have passed since the Dao Ancestor preached, yet only Aunt Nuwa has attained enlightenment. Haste makes waste. Master, put your mind at ease, comprehend your own Dao, and when the time comes, you will have an epiphany and naturally achieve enlightenment and become a saint."

Perhaps it was Zhao Gongming's comforting words that had an effect, because Tongtian's mood improved a lot.

"Haha, you're right. Haste makes waste. The path to enlightenment can be taken slowly."

After saying that, Tongtian's expression turned serious. "I heard you say that you settled the human race on the shores of the East Sea, in the territory of the dragon race?"

"Yes, I asked the dragon clan to choose a place for the human race to rest and recuperate temporarily."

Tongtian nodded slightly, then gave Zhao Gongming a meaningful look. "The Sage Nuwa created the human race through the art of creation, which shows that the human race is indeed extraordinary. Building good relations with the human race will be beneficial to your future."

"Yes."

Zhao Gongming was slightly shocked. He hadn't expected his master to have such sharp eyes that he could also see the extraordinary nature of the human race.

As expected of being transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, a true disciple of the Xuanmen sect.

"Alright, you've been cultivating for three thousand years, you must be tired. Go and rest. There's no need to rush the matter of becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"Then this disciple will take his leave."

Zhao Gongming bowed and was about to leave Shangqing Palace when Tongtian suddenly called out to stop him.

"Is there anything else, Master?"

"I suddenly remembered something. The rules of the sect can be implemented now. Oh, and the enforcement team you mentioned should also be set up as soon as possible. Since we want to rectify the atmosphere of the Shangqing lineage, we should start from the root."

"ah"

Zhao Gongming's face immediately fell. He had just returned from listening to lectures for three thousand years and was just about to have a good rest when his master assigned him another task.

However, Zhao Gongming had no complaints; his master was right.

The rectification of the corrupt practices of the Shangqing government is imperative and cannot be delayed; naturally, the sooner the better.
