Primordial Era: Me, starting with the Primordial Enlightenment Tree

Chapter 21 The Tongtian Cult Leader Almost Dizzied from Angry

"Hmph, if you're so capable, then don't try to run away!"

The voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader boomed behind them, his tone full of mockery.

However, the group seemed not to hear them at all, showing no intention of stopping, turning around, or arguing with the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Outside of Buzhou Mountain.

"Elder brother, Tongtian and Yuanshi are far too arrogant, daring to humiliate us like this."

Taiyi's face was filled with overwhelming rage.

His whole body exuded a chilling, murderous aura.

"Hmph, second brother, let's swallow this for now and settle this score with them properly another day."

Di Jun let out a heavy, cold snort.

Meanwhile, another location.

Both Jieyin and Zhunti had angry expressions on their faces.

If it weren't for the current pressing situation and their inferior strength, they would never have retreated in such a disheveled manner.

"Senior brother, I am truly unwilling to accept this!"

Zhunti flicked his wide sleeves fiercely.

"Alright, junior brother, there's plenty of time in the future. Let's just wait and see."

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in the depths of Jieyin's eyes.

……

Within that primordial space where the innate gourd vine was nurtured.

"My good disciple, quickly take out those gourds and let your master take a good look at them."

The Tongtian Sect Leader's gaze was fixed on Tianci, his face full of a warm smile.

"That's right, that's right, that's right!"

"Junior brother Tianci, quickly take it out and let your senior uncles see it."

Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun surrounded Tianci from the left and right, respectively, and both extended their hands towards him.

These are innate spiritual treasures connected to their own destiny!

It is an extremely rare and top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

How could they not be tempted and filled with greed?

Especially Taiqing Laozi, his expression made it seem like he wanted to just grab it directly.

That is, if he can beat his junior apprentice, Tianci.

After all, right now, he's really looking for a Shengdan gourd that suits his taste!

At this moment, the gourds in Tianci's hands were exactly what he wanted.

"Hmph, I won't give it to you!"

Tianci looked at the three Qings in front of him, his little face full of arrogance, and spoke.

"unless……"

"My dear disciple, what do you mean by 'unless'?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader hurriedly pressed for an answer.

"Unless you agree, you're not allowed to mess with me again."

"Alright! I agree!"

The Master of the Heavenly Sect immediately responded with a smile.

"Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, where are you two?"

Tianci blinked his round eyes and looked at Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, asking them a question.

"Yes, of course my senior uncle agrees!"

To obtain the coveted Innate Gourd, the two did not hesitate for a moment!

"Then you'll have to swear an oath to God!"

Tianci tilted his little head back, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Okay! We'll swear it, alright?"

The three of them exchanged a glance, their faces filled with helplessness.

"Heaven's will prevails..."

A short while later.

"My good disciple, should it work now?"

"Okay, that's fine now."

Tianci nodded gently, then flipped his little hand, and in an instant, three gourds shimmering with spiritual light appeared in his palm.

One each of purple, cyan, and blue!

This gourd was specially selected by him based on his understanding of the general trend of the prehistoric world.

"Here you go, take it!"

"Alright! Then I, your teacher, will accept your offer without hesitation."

As soon as the words were spoken, Taiqing Laozi took the purple gourd, Tongtian Jiaozhu took the blue gourd, and Yuanshi Tianzun took the green gourd.

"By the way, my dear disciple, what do you plan to do with the remaining four gourds?"

After Tongtian Jiaozhu put the gourd away, his gaze instantly shifted, and he exchanged a glance with Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Huh? Master, Uncle-Master, what are you planning to do? Don't forget you just promised me you wouldn't dare to mess with me again!"

Feeling the burning gazes of his cheap master, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and his two senior uncles, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, Tianci subconsciously took several steps back.

Judging from their expressions, he could easily guess that these people were still eyeing the other gourds he had left.

"Ahem... Nephew Tianci, you've misunderstood us."

"Your senior uncle just wants to keep it safe for you for a while."

"That's right, that's right! My dear disciple, your master and your uncles were just worried that you might lose it by accident because you're so young, so we thought of keeping it for you."

Having their thoughts exposed by Tianci, both Tongtian Jiaozhu, Taiqing Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

They were really going all out to trick Tianci, their disciple (or nephew), into handing over the remaining gourd.

whispering sound!

Do you really think I'd believe your nonsense?

If you want the remaining gourds, just say so!

Tianci immediately rolled his eyes at the three of them.

"Oh? Is that really so?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Exactly!"

The three—Tongtian Jiaozhu, Taiqing Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun—nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Oh, then I won't trouble you all."

Tianci gently shook his little head.

"Ahem, my dear disciple, what if you accidentally lose this treasure? I'm doing this all for your own good, how can you not understand my good intentions?"

"My dear disciple, you must believe me. Your master and your uncles are definitely not saying this because we are after those few gourds."

The Tongtian Sect Leader, without batting an eye, spoke with a completely serious expression.

"Exactly!"

Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun nodded frantically in agreement.

Do you really think I'm a three-year-old?

Listening to the three of them, including Tongtian Jiaozhu, spouting blatant lies, Tianci felt both angry and amused.

"Yes, Master, Senior Uncle, I know you all mean well, but..."

"Just what?"

The three leaders of the Tongtian Sect instantly fixed their gazes on Tianci.

"But I've already decided to give these remaining gourds to Sister Nuwa and the others!"

Tianci looked at the three of them with a serious expression and spoke slowly and deliberately.

What?

Have they already decided to give it to Nuwa and the others?

The moment Tianci finished speaking...

The Master of Heaven: "..."

Taiqing Laozi: "..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable: "..."

The three, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Taiqing Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun, looked at each other in dismay, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

They could hardly believe what they were hearing.

His eyes widened instantly.

His gaze was fixed on Tianci, his disciple (or nephew).

They rushed along as fast as they could, their biggest fear being that their disciple (or nephew) Tianci would give the remaining gourds to Nuwa and the others, but to their utter surprise, they were still a step too late.

In the end, they still couldn't trick the last four gourds into handing them over.

At this moment, the three members of the Sanqing Sect truly felt a sense of frustration, as if they wanted to cry but had no tears.

Those were four top-grade innate spiritual treasures, not some roadside cabbage. To give them away like that, they felt their hearts were bleeding.

That fragile Dao heart felt as if it had been struck by a critical hit of tens of thousands of points from the heavens.

At this moment, all they wanted was to find a quiet place to stay.

I don't want to say another word to Tianci, this spendthrift disciple (junior disciple).

"Eldest brother, second brother, what should we do now? Are we really just going to watch this kid give those gourds to Nuwa and the others?"

"That's a genuine, top-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader secretly transmitted his voice to Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Of course not! We have to stop this little guy!"

"Elder brother is absolutely right!"

The two immediately echoed this.

"But how can we stop him?"

"Should we use force? Or..."

The Master of Heaven then asked another question.

"Second brother, third brother, how about we do this..."

"good!"

"Brother, you're truly shrewd and calculating!"

After hearing Taiqing Laozi's idea, both Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun revealed a calculating smile on their faces.

Everyone thought that Taiqing Laozi's idea was absolutely brilliant.

Ok?

What are my cheap master and these two cheap senior uncles secretly plotting behind my back?

Could it be that they haven't given up yet and are still eyeing the few gourds they have left?

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the three, including the Tongtian Sect Leader, Tianci muttered to himself.

Not long after.

"My nephew, Tianci..."

"What are you doing?"

Looking at Taiqing Laozi's kind gaze, Tianci took another step back, his little face full of vigilance.

"Junior Nephew Tianci, how about we make a deal with you?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable had already flashed behind Tianci, blocking his retreat.

"No discussion!"

Tianci waved his little hands repeatedly, refusing outright.

"No, my dear disciple, don't refuse so quickly. Your master hasn't finished speaking yet."

The Tongtian Sect Leader smiled and spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them rushed forward again and surrounded Tianci in the middle.

"Oh, then tell me what you have to say, I'm listening."

"My dear disciple, if you entrust those gourds to us for safekeeping, each of us will grant you one request. What do you say?"

The Master of the Heavenly Sect began to speak patiently and persuasively.

puff~

They're still thinking about those gourds, aren't they?

After hearing what his cheap master had to say, Tianci instantly understood their intentions.

"Not very good!"

Tianci immediately shook his head.

As for the remaining four gourds, he already had a plan in mind, so how could he possibly hand them over to them?

Aside from the Chaos Gourd he wanted to keep for himself, he had already planned out the remaining three: one for Nuwa, one for Yaochi, and one for Changxi…

These few aren't even enough to go around.

Houtu has no primordial spirit and can't use this gourd, but besides that, there are also Yuanming and Xihe, who are still undecided.

The Master of Heaven: "..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable: "..."

Taiqing Laozi: "..."

"My nephew, Tianci..."

When the three of them, including Tongtian Jiaozhu, Taiqing Laozi, and others, saw that this tactic was not working, they exchanged glances and immediately changed their approach, starting to play the emotional card.

"Help! Sister Nuwa, Sister Houtu..."

Upon seeing Nuwa and the others appear, Tianci immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

"What's wrong, little brother Tianci...?"

Nuwa's beautiful eyes fell on Tianci, her gaze filled with confusion.

"Sister Nuwa, Master and my senior uncle won't let me leave..."

What nonsense are you talking about?

Who's stopping you from leaving?

The face of the Tongtian Cult Leader instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, why won't you let Brother Tianci leave?"

"Come here, little brother Tianci, come to your sister!"

Nuwa moved gracefully to the side of the Tongtian Sect Leader and pulled Tianci out of the encirclement of the three.

Master Tongtian: "I..."
