Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Immortal only desires a steady path to enlightenment!

Chapter 2: Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun! The Golden Crow Acquired! Ju Liusun Huanglong Begs to Cling to His Power!

As the galactic vortex contracted and dissipated.

Yu Ding finally saw clearly what he had gotten from opening the blind box.

With wingspans of hundreds of millions of feet, golden-red plumage, three legs, and a body covered in scorching heat and wounds, the remains of a large bird that had long since lost its life.

"Wait a minute, why do I feel like I've seen this somewhere before?"

Upon seeing the familiar appearance of the dead bird, Yu Ding frowned slightly and waved his hand to unleash one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers, the Size of the Ruyi.

The enormous dead bird was shrunk to about one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) in size.

"It really is a dead golden crow."

Looking at the shrunken dead bird, Yu Ding's suspicions were completely confirmed.

"Judging from his remaining aura, he was probably comparable to a Quasi-Saint in the early stage before he died."

"It seems that the world we extracted this time is at least a top-tier Great Thousand World."

"Unfortunately, the act of switching the sky and the sun is just like opening a blind box."

"It's simply impossible to extract a single world from a fixed location."

"Otherwise, the probability of getting good stuff would be a thousand times higher than it is now!"

Using the technique of "hidden universe in the sleeve," he stored the remnants of the Golden Crow into his mustard seed space.

Yu Ding did not stay in the sea of ​​consciousness any longer.

They possessed the remains of a Golden Crow, comparable to a Quasi-Saint.

With his weapon-refining skills and the advantages of his own body.

At the very least, it can be refined into something of the level of a post-natal supreme treasure!

In this era where most people could only refine acquired spiritual treasures.

The appearance of the treasure of the day after tomorrow is undoubtedly comparable to an uncrowned emperor!

If he succeeds in refining it, he will definitely be the most dazzling star in the third level, a sure-fire contender for victory!

"Is Senior Brother Yu Ding here?"

"Huanglong (Juliusun) has come to pay his respects!"

Just as Yu Ding's mind returned to normal, he heard someone calling from outside the door.

Seeing that it was Huanglong Zhenren, who belonged to the same faction as him, he feared Liusun.

While secretly wondering, he got up and opened the door.

"What brings you two here today?"

After inviting Huanglong and Julusun into the cave and pouring them each a cup of spiritual tea, Yuding went straight to the point and asked them why they had come.

"Senior brother, you are unaware of something."

However, Ju Liusun gave an irrelevant answer and began to complain.

"Cihang, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra did not care about winning or losing the contest at all; they were focused on following Dipankara in their seclusion in the cave."

"We have no choice but to come to you for help."

Huang Long nodded in agreement with a helpless expression.

"It's clear that Ran Deng is the leader of this team."

"Now he acts like a hands-off manager, sending Manjushri to win the supernatural power competition and then immediately going into seclusion."

"They're shifting all the responsibility for the final hurdle onto you, your senior brother Guangchengzi, and Taiyi."

"That's incredibly irresponsible..."

Yu Ding was truly exasperated by Huang Long's lack of intelligence.

They dare to say such things so casually.

Aren't you afraid that if Ran Deng finds out, he'll make things difficult for you?

Moreover, each competition is conducted with one faction responsible for one round.

They have already sent Cihang to secure victory in the first level of the Divine Power Realm.

Why bother helping others when it's a thankless task?

If you win, the credit goes to others, and you get nothing in return.

If you lose, you'll be pushed out to take the fall and shield others from the storm.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Rather than doing that, it's better to remain neutral and pretend we didn't see anything.

At least there won't be a situation where you have to find a "temporary worker" when there's a problem.

Seeing that Yu Ding was not responding, Huang Long did not stop there.

Instead, they started talking about other people.

"After discussing it, we decided that in order to win and avoid being punished by our master, we would each contribute some rare and precious materials to help our three senior brothers."

"Qingxu and Daoxing have chosen to go and help Senior Brother Guangchengzi."

"Lingbao and Chijingzi went to deliver materials to Taiyi."

"Although our foundations are weak, we are not valued by our master."

"But we cannot let our master lose face."

As they spoke, Huanglong and Julusun each took out a bottle of Taiyin Moon Essence and a piece of Wutu Essence from their Taoist robes and handed them to the jade cauldron.

"This is just a small token of our appreciation."

"I hope Senior Brother Yuding won't find this offensive."

"In our opinion, Senior Brother Yu Ding's weapon-refining skills are more than ten times better than Senior Brother Guang Chengzi's and that guy Taiyi."

"Only you can lead us to a sure victory against the Intercepting Sect."

Hearing Huang Long's words and glancing at the unease in Ju Liusun's eyes, Yu Ding immediately understood the main purpose of their visit.

The internal factions within the Chan Sect are now firmly established.

Huanglong is someone who is good at nothing and is not accepted by Randeng, Guangchengzi, or Taiyi at all.

The Old Man of the South Pole and Yun Zhongzi belong to a neutral circle outside of any faction.

They are good at self-preservation but lack the ability to attack.

Naturally, they wouldn't accept Huang Long as a member.

This led to them being automatically categorized into the ascetic faction and the group that takes the fall.

Basically, there are any problems or difficult tasks.

He was always the first unlucky one to be thrown out and punished.

Ju Liusun's strength is not bad either.

However, he is too upright, aloof, and principled.

They lacked the tact and discretion of later generations.

This led to a situation where neither the power faction led by Randeng, the eldest son faction led by Guangchengzi, nor the wavering faction led by Taiyi were particularly willing to accept him.

This automatically categorized it as an ascetic.

Furthermore, after its transformation, its appearance was indeed rather lewd, and it was not valued by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

That explains why he is quite strong.

The latest novel is first published here!

However, they were also categorized into the "thunder-taking circle".

However, his treatment was better than Huang Long's.

Basically, it's only when Huanglong can't handle the situation that Guangchengzi and the others consider letting him take over.

Just like this competition.

If they lose, the two of them will definitely be the main contenders to wipe out the Jade Void Palace.

The two of them came here because they were desperate and wanted to stick together and escape the circle of taking the blame, with him as their leader.

After all, his strength is undeniable.

Although he doesn't easily get involved in other matters.

But once they make a move, they'll definitely have the upper hand!

If he were to lead a completely new faction.

At least when the two of them are pushed out to take the fall again.

Guang Chengzi and the others also had some concerns.

"Thank you for your kindness, junior brothers."

"I'll accept these two rare and precious materials."

"I will definitely win the championship in this weapon forging competition and ensure your safety."

Going it alone will never make you successful.

Especially in the Chan sect, where each person has eight hundred thoughts on their mind.

If you don't want to be swallowed up, you have to find a way to balance things out.

And just because someone is nobody now doesn't mean they'll always be nobody.

After being converted to Buddhism in the West, Julusun became one of the Seven Buddhas of the Past.

Although they don't have much say, it's still not bad.

At least in terms of rank and status, he is on the same level as Duobao and Randeng.

As for Huanglong's final fate?

One can only say that sometimes incompetence is a kind of luck.

I don't know if it's because of past good fortune.

All of these were transformed into a glimmer of hope in the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.

Even after having his three flowers on his head and five vital energies removed from his chest within the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, he was still able to return to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate unharmed.

Aside from the loss of cultivation points.

Not only were they not taken away by the two guides to be used as mounts, but they were also not listed on the Investiture of the Gods!

This outcome is much better than that of most people who encounter this calamity!

You should know that he was a nobody – no disciples, no strength, no magic weapons, and no assistance.

Under these circumstances, he was able to safely return to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate.

To be honest, it really exceeded his expectations.

"Thank you for your care, senior brother."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Ju Liusun and his companion breathed a sigh of relief.

With the protection of the jade cauldron, one can be considered to have stepped out of the circle of taking the fall.

May Yu Ding grow stronger and stronger.

That way they can also benefit from it.

They can even obtain sufficient resources and no longer be subject to discrimination and restraint!

"We won't disturb your weapon forging any longer."

"May you succeed in forging a supreme magical weapon comparable to a rare acquired treasure!"

After saying this, Ju Liusun immediately gave Huang Long a wink, and the two of them bid farewell to Yu Ding and walked out of the cave.

Only after leaving the cave dwelling far from the Jade Cauldron did they stop at the top of the clouds and gaze upon Jin'ao Island, which was shrouded in celestial light, filled with spiritual energy, shrouded in purple clouds, and teeming with life, a scene full of the vitality of spring.

Suddenly, Ju Liusun and Ju Liusun felt a sense of enlightenment and clarity.

"Perhaps we made the right choice."

"Following Yu Ding, the journey ahead shouldn't be too difficult."

Huang Long nodded slightly upon hearing this, gazing down at the magnificent scenery of Jin'ao Island, a fleeting thought in his eyes.

"He fabricated the 'Scripture of Salvation,' and his weapon-refining skills far surpass those of his senior brother."

"Despite being deeply loved by his master, he remained truly neutral, showing no favoritism to either side, nor coveting any power, treating all living beings equally, and focusing wholeheartedly on cultivating the Tao."

"Such an existence is the best help for us to get out of our predicament."

"I hope he can always be strong."

"We can also cultivate peacefully under its protection, exploring what it truly means to reach the pinnacle of the Dao..."
