Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

"How could I lie to you? I know you have always had high hopes for your disciples, otherwise you wouldn't have accepted Shiji as your disciple. But although Shiji is extremely talented, he still needs experience. You are paving the way for him so early..."

“Isn’t that a waste?” Tong Tian’s face darkened and he interrupted, “Yuan Shi, what do you mean by that? You were only born a few days earlier than me, yet you dare to put on airs in front of me.”

Yuanshi Tianzun's face flushed red, his fists clenched, and he was obviously very angry. This matter has always been a thorn in his side, and he didn't expect Tongtian to mention it so directly.

"Everyone." At this moment, a loud voice sounded. Queen Mother of the West walked out of the crowd with a smile on her face.

She bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu and said with a smile, "It is a great honor for me to have the two saints come to our Peach Banquet this time."

The two of them responded politely, but they still didn't want to talk to each other. Queen Mother of the West was already accustomed to their temper, so she smiled indifferently and turned to the immortals.

"My fellow Taoists, please follow me to the Peach Banquet." After the Queen Mother of the West finished speaking, she led a group of people to the venue of the Peach Banquet. The immortal officials and Taoist children followed closely behind.

The Peach Banquet was held on a towering mountain in the West Palace. On the mountain, dozens of palaces were scattered in an orderly manner. In the palaces, beautiful female fairies shuttled between them to provide services for the guests.

"This is the Peach Banquet." Queen Mother of the West looked around and said with a smile, "We are all acquaintances, so there is no need to say more. Today's Peach Banquet will last for three days. The first day is for watching the ceremony, the second day is for tasting tea, and the third day is for competition. Regardless of whether you win or lose, you can stay or leave."

When everyone heard this, excitement showed on their faces.

"Haha, I can finally have some fun."

"Yes, I have been hiding in the secular world for these years and have no chance to come out and relax. How can I miss such an opportunity today?"

"Alright, be quiet! The Peach Banquet is about to begin. If you keep making noise, don't blame us for being rude." The warning from Queen Mother of the West made everyone quiet down, but the disciples of the Orthodox and Unorthodox sects were not greatly affected.

Three days passed quickly, and today was the day for the competition. The competition was held in Tianwaitian.

The disciples of the Orthodox Sect and the Unorthodox Sect had always been at odds with each other. This time, taking advantage of the Peach Festival, the disciples of the two sects gathered together, ready for a battle to resolve their grievances.

The disciples of Jiejiao are secretly preparing, hoping to defeat the disciples of Chenjiao in the arena, so as to become famous, become the best among the disciples of Jiejiao, and make those who look down on them take notice of them.

Zhao Gongming of the Jiejiao and Yun Zhongzi of the Chenjiao stood opposite each other.

"Zhao Gongming from Jiejiao, please teach me." Zhao Gongming looked at Yun Zhongzi expressionlessly and said lightly.

Yun Zhongzi smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "You asked for all this, I didn't force you. In this case, there is no need for us to pretend to compete anymore, just go on stage."

Zhao Gongming glanced at Yun Zhongzi, then looked at the immortals below the stage, and said, "I think you should go on stage first, so as not to embarrass yourself later."

Yun Zhongzi was furious when he heard this. Although he had lived for tens of thousands of years, as a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, how could he endure such humiliation?

"Who are you saying is shameful?"

Yun Zhongzi roared angrily, holding a whisk in his hand, and a powerful force surged out from his sleeves and swept towards Zhao Gongming.

"Bang!" However, Zhao Gongming just casually stretched out a hand and lightly slapped it, breaking Yun Zhongzi's whisk into two pieces.

"What a strong strength." Yun Zhongzi was shocked. He quickly threw away the broken whisk, took a few steps back, and looked at Zhao Gongming with fear on his face.

Although Zhao Gongming had only used a simple move just now, Yun Zhongzi knew very well that if he had taken that slap, he would probably have been seriously injured.

"I've long heard that the people of Jiejiao are good at bravery and fighting, but I didn't expect that there really is such a powerful disciple." Tongtian Jiaozhu heard what Yuanshi Tianzun said and smiled proudly.

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Tongtian Jiaozhu and said, "Are all of you Jiejiao people so arrogant?"

Master Tongtian sneered and said, "Keep reading."

At this moment, on the Tianwaitian arena, Yun Zhongzi had put away his contempt for Zhao Gongming.

His body flashed, he clasped his hands together, and chanted a spell. Suddenly, a golden light shot out from his body and turned into thousands of sharp swords, shooting out in all directions.

These sharp swords exuded a fierce sword energy, and clouds and mist rolled wherever they passed.

"Boom!" Just as Yun Zhongzi was about to launch an attack, suddenly, a violent explosion resounded through the sky, and ripples appeared throughout the sky.

In Zhao Gongming's hand, twenty-four Dinghai Pearls shot out simultaneously, turning into thousands of feet in size and blasting towards Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi snorted coldly, put his two fingers together, and pointed one finger forward. A golden circular seal flew out from his fingertips and collided violently with the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls.

"Bang!" Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the two annihilated each other and disappeared without a trace.

This situation made Yun Zhongzi's heart tremble violently. He realized that there seemed to be an indescribable gap between him and Zhao Gongming.

"Zhao Gongming's strength is so amazing!" Yun Zhongzi exclaimed in his heart.

Suddenly, a loud roar resounded through the sky, and the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls in Zhao Gongming's hand cut through the sky like meteors and went straight for Yun Zhongzi.

"Swish swish."

This scene left many cultivators in the sky dumbfounded. They never expected that Zhao Gongming could suppress Yun Zhongzi.

"Zhao Gongming's strength is far beyond our imagination."

"Indeed, he has been hiding in Jiejiao for many years. I didn't expect that he has such a profound cultivation. He is worthy of being a Daluo Jinxian!"

Everyone was talking about it.

At this time, Yun Zhongzi's face was gloomy. He put his two fingers together, and a powerful force surged out from between his fingers, sweeping towards Zhao Gongming.

While resisting Zhao Gongming's Dinghaizhu attack, he also used various magical powers to fight fiercely with Zhao Gongming.

"boom."

There was another loud bang, and where the two men fought, the void collapsed and a huge space crack appeared.

"What a powerful force! Yun Zhongzi should not be underestimated."

"Of course. Yun Zhongzi is a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, so his strength is naturally extraordinary. If I had participated in the Peach Banquet competition, I would have been defeated long ago."

"Haha! Senior Brother Zhao is also extremely powerful!"

Everyone in Jiejiao cheered for Zhao Gongming. They didn't expect that Zhao Gongming would have the upper hand in the Peach Banquet competition.

At this moment, Yun Zhongzi also felt Zhao Gongming's power. His face became more solemn, his fingers danced quickly, and sharp sword lights kept slashing at Zhao Gongming. At the same time, he muttered something, and his magic spells merged into the golden light in the air.

The golden light turned into golden dragons all over the sky, roaring and screaming as they rushed towards Zhao Gongming.

boom.

The Dinghai Pearl in Zhao Gongming's hand was constantly shattered, but his aura became more and more powerful, as if there was endless power surging.

"Yun Zhongzi, your attacks are no longer effective on me. To tell you the truth, I am now practicing Jiejiao's most advanced technique, the Hunyuan Gong. You can't hurt me." Zhao Gongming said with a big laugh.

what?
The top method of Jiejiao, "Hunyuan Gong"?
Yun Zhongzi had heard of this name before. It was said that he was once famous in the Three Realms, but many people suffered the backlash of thunder and lightning from heaven and earth because they practiced too fast, and eventually died.

However, Zhao Gongming succeeded in his practice. No wonder he is so powerful.

However, he was only at the initial stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, while he was at the late stage of the Golden Immortal Realm and had also comprehended the true meaning of Taoism. How could he not be able to defeat him? Yun Zhongzi was unwilling to give in, and continued to urge the magic weapon in his hand, attacking Zhao Gongming frantically.

"boom."

The two fought again, and Yun Zhongzi was pushed back several steps.

"You rely on this method to practice? Humph, today I will let you see how powerful the disciples of the Chan sect are." Yun Zhongzi roared with gritted teeth, pointed his fingers forward, and a huge fist-shaped magic spell broke through the air and smashed towards Zhao Gongming.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes. He didn't expect Yun Zhongzi to be able to use such magic. This was beyond his expectations.

He waved his hand and shattered the magic spell.

He looked at Yun Zhongzi and said, "Yun Zhongzi, if you give up the competition today, I will not bother with you anymore. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, Zhao Gongming stepped on the sea of ​​clouds and slowly floated towards Yun Zhongzi.

At this moment, Yun Zhongzi's eyes focused, he shouted loudly, and formed seals with his hands.

buzzing...

As he completed the seal, powerful auras descended from the sky and gathered around him.

Immediately afterwards, a spear fell from the sky.

Yun Zhongzi held a spear in his hand, and the spear was engraved with complicated runes.

"Zhao Gongming, this is my natal magic weapon, the Heavenly Demon Spear. Today, I want to see what you, a disciple of Jiejiao, are capable of?" Yun Zhongzi sneered.

He was well aware of the power of the Heavenly Evil Spear, so he dared to say so.

When Zhao Gongming heard Yun Zhongzi's words, his face darkened.

He didn't expect that the other party would actually use his natal magic weapon.

“In that case…” Zhao Gongming also took out his own magic weapon, the Luobao Money.

This magic weapon is an innate spiritual treasure that can withstand attacks from any spells and magic weapons.

"Zhao Gongming, today is your doom." Yun Zhongzi grinned, holding the Tiansha Divine Spear and stabbed out suddenly.

A black light flashed, and the Tiansha Divine Spear pierced through the void and went straight to Zhao Gongming's forehead.

Zhao Gongming remained calm, waving his arms vigorously, and the Luobao Money in his hands emitted golden light, protecting him.

clang.

The two magic weapons collided, sparks flew everywhere. The Tiansha Divine Spear was covered with cracks, and cracks also appeared on the Luobao Money.

"Hmph, although your magic weapon is powerful, it can't stop me." Zhao Gongming sneered, and with a flip of his wrist, the gold coins flew back into his hand.

"you……"

Seeing that Zhao Gongming easily broke his magic weapon, Yun Zhongzi's face changed suddenly.

"Okay, Yun Zhongzi, you lost this battle. Now, it's your turn to be punished." A golden stick appeared in Zhao Gongming's hand. The stick was engraved with endless ancient patterns, as if it contained supreme power.

"Zhao Gongming, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Yun Zhongzi waved the Tiansha Divine Spear in his hand, and a green light burst out. Then it turned into a green light, soaring into the sky and directly taking the Luobao Money.

clang.

The Tiansha Divine Spear collided with the Luobao Money, causing a loud explosion.

Blue beams of light and rays of light continued to interweave and disappear.

Yun Zhongzi's Tiansha Divine Spear was actually blocked by Luobao Gold Coins!

Yun Zhongzi's face showed shock. He never expected that Zhao Gongming's magic weapon was so powerful.

Tong Tian Jiaozhu, who was watching the battle, saw that his disciple had the upper hand, and couldn't help but teased Yuan Shi Tianzun: "Second Brother, it seems that the Twelve Golden Immortals under your seat are no more than this!"

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Tongtian Jiaozhu calmly and said, "Zhao Gongming's strength is indeed not weak, but he has a humble background and limited cultivation. He is far inferior to Yun Zhongzi. If he can reach the peak of Daluo Jinxian, he may be able to compete with Yun Zhongzi, but not now."

"Second brother, you can't say that. My disciple has practiced the Hunyuan Jue technique. Although his cultivation level is improving slowly, he has a special set of defensive methods that can resist innate spiritual treasures. This is why I let him be the first to take action this time." said Master Tongtian.

"Well, let's wait and see."

As the host, Queen Mother of the West saw the two saints confronting each other and was afraid that they would destroy her temple, so she hurried out to mediate.

"Yun Zhongzi is indeed the genius of the Chan Sect, but Zhao Gongming is also the outer sect disciple of the Jie Sect. In terms of cultivation and foundation, he is actually not bad."

The Queen Mother of the West's words were obviously meant to ease the atmosphere.

However, the people of the Chan Sect and Jie Sect were more concerned about the competition on the ring. Although it was just a competition, both sides had already fought with real anger.

Yun Zhongzi's face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Zhao Gongming, today we will see who is better!"

"Okay! Let's have a show!" Zhao Gongming sneered.

"Let's see, is the magic you have practiced hard over the years more powerful, or is my magic better!" Yun Zhongzi sneered.

After saying this, the spear in his hand trembled, and a terrifying beam of light fell from the sky.

This beam of light carried an extremely sharp momentum, as if the power of heaven had descended, and it rushed straight towards Zhao Gongming.

Seeing this terrifying beam of light, Zhao Gongming's face changed. He felt that Yun Zhongzi had murderous intentions. Good fellow, the two saints are watching right beside you, and you dare to kill them. Isn't this a slap in the face of the saints?

The Luobao Money in Zhao Gongming's hand immediately flew above his head. A ball of yellow light burst out from the Luobao Money, and powerful forces spread out, covering the surroundings.

This yellow light is exactly the power of Luobao Money.

"Hmph, I want to see if your magic weapon can withstand the power of the Tiansha Divine Spear!" Yun Zhongzi sneered, and the Tiansha Divine Spear instantly grew larger, like a towering tree, and smashed towards the Luobao Money.

Rumble…

A huge explosion sounded, and the Tiansha Divine Spear was blocked by Luobao Money.

Zhao Gongming raised his eyebrows when he saw this. The Luobao Money in his hand trembled violently and turned into a stream of light, heading straight for Yun Zhongzi.

Seeing this, Yun Zhongzi raised his lips slightly, sneered, and shook the Tiansha Divine Spear in his hand. (End of this chapter)
