Primordial Era: Starting as a junior disciple of the Chan Sect to attain the Primordial Chaos.

Under the nine heavens.

The image of the Primordial Celestial Venerable shines brightly throughout the myriad realms.

After considering the pros and cons.

He first looked at Manjushri and the other two.

"Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Compassionate One."

You three were appointed by me as three of the Twelve Golden Immortals, yet you are not ambitious, jealous of the virtuous and talented, have evil intentions, and have framed your fellow disciples.

Do you all know your crimes?

When they heard the Primordial Celestial Venerable speak in this way...

The three of them, including Manjushri, turned pale as paper and trembled all over. They then quickly bowed their heads.

"This disciple knows his sins and begs for forgiveness, Master."

At this point, any explanation would be futile.

Because the Primordial Celestial Venerable has already directly condemned them.

If they continue to argue, they will only displease their master, who will then punish them even more severely.

Therefore, it would be better to just plead guilty right now.

After all, Yuanshi Tianzun is protective of his own, so admitting guilt directly might result in a lighter punishment.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly.

"Considering that you are only first-time offenders and your attitude in admitting your guilt is sincere."

I hereby punish you by making each of you take one mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, one mid-grade innate spiritual root, and five innate items as compensation.

He then went to the Cliff of Repentance to face the wall for three thousand years.

I hope you will take this as a warning and remember the lesson.

After this punishment was announced...

Although the three of them were mentally prepared.

But I still feel like my vision is going black.

A newly acquired spiritual treasure must be of medium grade or higher.

This could kill them!

It should be noted that magical treasures that can reach the level of acquired spiritual treasures are extremely difficult to refine and require very particular materials.

They have been learning the Jade Purity Refining Method for so many years.

Let alone a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

Even the number of low-grade acquired spiritual treasures that have been successfully refined is only in the single digits.

Among them, Puxian did not possess a single acquired spiritual treasure.

Making them offer a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure as compensation is tantamount to taking their lives.

Needless to say, those with mid-grade innate spiritual roots...

These rare treasures, like innate spiritual treasures, are supreme creations nurtured by nature.

It's already quite difficult for even one plant to grow in a blessed land.

The three of them had been apprenticed for many years, and even when they traveled, they occasionally had extraordinary encounters.

It is extremely rare to encounter someone with an innate spiritual root.

Now, Master is demanding compensation from them for their mid-grade innate spiritual roots.

Is this meant to bankrupt them?

Each person also has five innate spiritual items.

Although it may not sound like much, it is still very precious.

All these compensations combined would be enough to make even some Taiyi Golden Immortals feel the pinch.

Besides, they were only three Golden Immortals.

Although the three of them were disciples of a sage, their collections should have been more abundant than those of ordinary Golden Immortals.

But they have only been in the industry for a short time.

Besides the fact that the sage bestowed a primordial spiritual treasure upon each of them when they first became disciples.

His daily cultivation resources are mainly obtained from his own dojo or from his travels.

Therefore, although the three of them were wealthier than normal Golden Immortals, they were not much wealthier.

Naturally, they felt the pinch from this compensation.

However, since their master had already spoken, they had no choice but to obey.

As for Samantabhadra, who does not possess a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

He then gave Jiang Chuan an IOU.

This mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure will be returned within ten thousand years.

Otherwise, the punishment will be doubled, and other rare treasures will be used to offset it.

Jiang Chuan was quite satisfied with the result.

However, he added one more point at the end.

That is to make the three of them formally apologize to Longxi and Zixia.

Although the three were unwilling, they accepted the saint's permission.

He could only bow his head before the two boys in public.

This humiliating scene made the three of them blush.

Especially the pointing fingers and strange looks from the surrounding immortals.

This is even more difficult for them to accept.

The apology felt like an eternity to them.

Wait until the apology is over.

The three of them stepped aside, expressionless and silent.

They've really embarrassed themselves this time.

So they don't want to talk to anyone.

Yuanshi glanced at the three of them but ignored them, then turned his attention to Jiang Chuan.

"Jiang Chuan, you are my youngest apprentice."

Although you were the victim in this incident.

But you acted ruthlessly, completely disregarding the proper etiquette between fellow disciples.

Therefore, I will also give you some punishment to teach you a lesson.

Upon hearing these words...

The onlookers were stunned.

Should Jiang Chuan be punished?

Did they mishear?

However, after they realized what was happening...

Many people showed some anticipation on their faces.

Because Jiang Chuan has been in the spotlight a lot lately.

It's as if Jiang Chuan is the only disciple personally taught by a sage in the entire Chan Sect.

This caused some of the Twelve Golden Immortals to harbor resentment.

Even some outer disciples felt it was somewhat unfair.

Now the sage says that Jiang Chuan should be punished.

Although the severity of the punishment is still unknown.

But as long as they are punished, they will definitely be able to overshadow Jiang Chuan.

Based on this, the immortals were naturally happy to see it.

Especially the three of them, Manjushri and his companions.

Their eyes, which had just been dull and lifeless, now brightened up again.

They also prayed that Jiang Chuan would be severely punished.

of course.

There were also some immortals who were optimistic about Jiang Chuan, or who had a good relationship with Jiang Chuan.

Such as Yu Ding, the Old Man of the South Pole, and Huang Long.

I don't quite understand why the sage did this.

The Old Man of the South Pole stepped forward, wanting to persuade him.

It was as if the sage had foreseen all of this.

One look from him was enough to shut the Antarctic Immortal up.

Then, the sage spoke in a deep voice.

"Jiang Chuan, although you are my junior apprentice, you have made rapid progress."

However, he has a bad temper and little affection for his fellow disciples.

I will punish you.

Within a hundred years, I will visit all the temples of your fellow disciples.

Furthermore, one must be humble in learning and must not have any frivolous thoughts.

I will keep an eye on you during this time.

If I see you slacking off, I'll start all over again.

Until I am satisfied.

Once this punishment is stated.

The immortals, who had just been looking forward to this moment, immediately had a look of confusion on their faces.

Is this what you call punishment?

"besides."

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke again.

The immortals' attention was once again drawn to it.

That's right.

Since it's supposed to be punishment, how can it be so mild and ineffective?

It seems the main event is yet to come.

As the immortals focused their attention on the sage, their anticipation was once again aroused.

Yuanshi spoke in a deep voice.

"And then there's more."

After you have visited all the senior disciples' temples.

He must enter the Jade Void Palace to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes for three thousand years.

"Within three thousand years, you are not to leave without my order!"

Facing the wall for three thousand years.

That's more like it!

Some of the immortals who were waiting to see Jiang Chuan make a fool of himself nodded in agreement.

Such punishment is no different from that given to Manjushri and others.

just.

But when they thought about it further, they discovered something was wrong.

Did he face the wall in the Jade Void Palace for three thousand years?

Jade Void Palace is the sacred site of a sage, where the sage's voice resonates constantly, and the innate spiritual energy is abundant.

Crucially, he also had a sage as a companion.

Under these conditions.

Even the most rudimentary creatures that enter this place will undergo a complete transformation after thousands of years.

Not to mention a Golden Immortal like Jiang Chuan, whose talent is extraordinary.

Master, is this a punishment or a reward for Jiang Chuan?

Compared to Manjushri.

The difference is too big!

This moment.

The immortals' jealousy of Jiang Chuan reached its peak once again.
