Primordial Era: My God, this phoenix is too cunning!
Chapter 136 Zhao Gongming Recovers, Grand Marshal of the Underworld Army
"Zhao Gongming, I can save you, but you should know what to do, right?" Fengdu asked, holding the Book of Life and Death. (At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name.)
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming hesitated for a moment and looked at Grand Tutor Wen beside him.
Grand Tutor Wen asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Gongming said, "The Phoenix Lord gave me two choices: to enter the tribulation or to avoid it."
Grand Tutor Wen's expression changed, and he asked, "What is meant by entering a calamity? What is meant by avoiding a calamity?"
Fengdu said, "Entering the calamity means helping you fight against the Western Zhou, while avoiding the calamity means giving up helping you and entering my underworld."
Grand Tutor Wen was startled. He looked at Zhao Gongming, who looked haggard. He didn't look like a quasi-saint or a great power at all; he looked like a sickly commoner.
Grand Tutor Wen was filled with sorrow and wept, saying, "Enough, enough, that's enough!"
"Brother Dao, then please agree to the Emperor's request!"
After pleading several times, Zhao Gongming finally nodded slowly.
Fengdu activated the Book of Life and Death, turning the pages one by one, which seemed to be filled with countless names.
An incredibly terrifying Dao flowed across this book, seemingly able to determine life and death; it was sinister and chilling.
Wen Zhong watched in horror. He had also heard of this book. It was the highest magical artifact in the underworld, one of the three books of Heaven, Earth and Man, the Book of Man. When used with the Judge's Pen, it could determine life and death. With a single stroke, one could grant immortality or instantly wipe out the lifespan of an immortal, causing them to die.
Originally, this book was said to be able to kill even a Great Luo Golden Immortal with a single stroke. However, later, the sages changed the rules, causing the Heavenly Dao to reduce its authority, which reduced the power of the Book of Life and Death, making it no longer able to control beings above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
Even so, the power of this book is unparalleled; all living beings in the entire prehistoric world below the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal are under its control.
At this moment, under Fengdu's influence, the book began to gradually revive, and a sinister aura filled the air, making the entire Cheng Tang camp feel cold, as if it had fallen into the underworld.
Upon seeing the changes at Cheng Tang's camp, the people of Xiqi quickly reported to the reed tent. Randeng hurriedly made calculations, but found the heavenly secrets to be hazy and chaotic, and was startled.
Although Wang Bian and Zhang Shao were intercepted and killed before they were able to retrieve the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, they did manage to do so.
But similarly, Jiang Ziya died again. This has happened several times already.
Having just revived Jiang Ziya, Randeng is now facing another crisis at the Cheng Tang camp, which is causing him great concern.
"The secrets of heaven are in chaos, and I cannot deduce them either," Lu Ya said at this moment.
He also made calculations, but the result was the same as that of Randeng; he couldn't figure out what had happened at Cheng Tang's camp.
"Teacher, Brother Lu, why don't we send Yang Jian to investigate?" suggested Master Yu Ding.
Ran Deng nodded and said, "Alright, Yang Jian is skilled in the Seventy-Two Transformations. We can use his transformation techniques to infiltrate the camp and gather intelligence. Remember to return quickly."
"Yes."
Yang Jian obeyed the order, left the reed hut, transformed into a flying mosquito, and entered Cheng Tang's camp.
As he flew towards the camp, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel alarmed; the atmosphere here was too cold.
It was not like the human world at all, but like being in hell.
Many of the Shang soldiers were unable to resist, and if it weren't for the military order, they would have already fallen into chaos.
Yang Jian finally flew to Zhao Gongming's camp, but he had just flown in through a gap in the tent.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Yang Jian was completely stunned and was about to turn around and run away.
With a cold snort, Yang Jian was immediately trapped in a quagmire and involuntarily revealed his true form.
They appeared in the camp.
Grand Tutor Wen was also greatly surprised to see Yang Jian and was about to take out his golden whip to strike him.
While continuing to activate the Book of Life and Death, Fengdu said, "Don't worry about him, just let him watch."
Wen Zhong nodded upon hearing this, ignoring Yang Jian and instead focusing on Feng Du performing his magic.
Under Fengdu's influence, the Book of Life and Death unleashed a continuous stream of powerful energy.

Above the camp, a huge vortex appeared, seemingly leading straight to the underworld.
The terrifying aura made the immortals in the reed hut of Xiqi increasingly uneasy, but Yang Jian did not return for a long time, and the immortals were at a loss.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning ripped through the dark night sky and struck the vortex, but it was swallowed up by the vortex in an instant.
At this moment, inside the camp, Fengdu was unleashing the true power of the Book of Life and Death.
The Book of Life and Death was previously suppressed by the Heavenly Rules, greatly reducing its power and making it unable to target beings above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
But at this moment, the power of the Book of Life and Death is being revived, and it is reclaiming its own share of power.
After Jiang Ziya was brought back to life once again at the Qishan camp, he dared not be negligent and continued to perform his rituals, paying homage to Zhao Gongming.
But for some reason, Jiang Ziya felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
Just as he finished paying homage to Zhao Gongming, and the twenty-one-day deadline was approaching,
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted, and the void was torn apart, from which chains shot forth.
These chains, seemingly formed from some unseen rule, shot out and headed straight for the straw figure he had erected in front of him.
Jiang Ziya was greatly alarmed. Was someone trying to steal the straw man again?
Before Jiang Ziya could make a move, the chains had already completed their task, binding the straw man and pulling him into the void, where he vanished without a trace.
Jiang Ziya was so shocked that he turned pale. His intuition told him that he could not get the straw man back this time.
All the hard work of the past few days has been wasted!
"No, we must tell our fellow Daoists about this as soon as possible." Jiang Ziya made a hand seal and used earth magic to rush towards the thatched hut.
Meanwhile, in Cheng Tang's camp, Fengdu activated the Book of Life and Death and retrieved the straw figure.
With a cold snort, the straw figure instantly turned to ash, the spell was broken, and Zhao Gongming's scattered soul returned to its place.
Zhao Gongming shouted, and sat up from the bed, his body trembling.
A powerful aura emanated from him, and at this moment, Zhao Gongming had returned to his fierce and powerful quasi-saint state.
Zhao Gongming, with his eyes closed, experienced this ordeal and gained a profound understanding of it.
His aura was subtly shifting. If he hadn't been harmed by the curse and his condition hadn't deteriorated, Zhao Gongming might have been able to sever his evil thoughts, greatly improve his cultivation, and break through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.
Even so, after a period of rest and recuperation, once his condition is restored, Zhao Gongming can break through to the next level by using a Primordial Spiritual Treasure to sever his corpse. In a way, this can be considered a blessing in disguise for him.
Zhao Gongming opened his eyes, got up from the bed, looked at Wen Zhong, and bowed to him. Wen Zhong quickly helped him up.
Zhao Gongming then bowed to Fengdu and said, "Zhao Gongming greets the Emperor."
Fengdu took the Book of Life and Death and said to him, "From now on, you will be the Grand Marshal of the Underworld Army of my Netherworld."
"Come with me to the underworld!"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Zhao Gongming bowed again.
Yang Jian was completely stunned by what he saw.
Legend has it that the Phoenix Lord Lin Yang's clone, the Fengdu Emperor who reigns over the Netherworld, has actually come here.
Moreover, he intervened to save Zhao Gongming, making Zhao Gongming the Grand Marshal of the Underworld Army.
What on earth happened?
Yang Jian was terrified and wanted to go back to report the news, but Feng didn't say anything, so how could he dare to leave?
Didn't you see how powerful the Book of Life and Death was just now?
Yang Jian could only lower his head and stand silently to the side, not daring to say a word.
