Chapter 937 The Past, Immovable Lord
Don't scare him.

Ancestor Wuling said to Qingnang.

Then, the patriarch said to Ji Ming, "You are willing to give up the three bonds because you are worried about our safety and injury. Such forbearance and care truly shows the magnanimity of a true lord. You can rest assured that the sect will not let Zhao Tan just use the so-called 'enlightenment and understanding of the Divine Firmament Jade Pivot Scripture' to get by and take away the treasure of the three bonds for nothing."

Seeing that the other patriarchs all greeted him with smiles, their expressions no longer as indifferent and serious as before, Ji Ming knew that through this heartfelt gesture, he had won the hearts of the patriarchs.

As Ji Ming was speaking with Ancestor Wu Ling, he caught a glimpse of True Monarch Lu giving him a series of meaningful glances. He instantly understood what Lu meant, so he bowed deeply towards the depths of the cave, gathered his emotions, and cried out in a sorrowful voice, "Please, Ancestor Gan Xiong, do justice for your disciple!"

In the past, he wouldn't have cared about dignity or self-respect; he would have squeezed out a couple of bitter tears. Sure enough, his skin wasn't as thick as it used to be.

"Ancestor!"

Lu Zhenjun also spoke up at the right time, saying, "This deputy commander relies on some of the favor of Heaven and holds a high position in Heaven. He disregards the rules and principles of the mortal world and regards our righteous path as nothing. If this immortal does not warn us, where will the dignity of our mountain sect be? Where will the hegemony of Tiannan be?

The Fairy of the Green Bag swept her whisk lightly, her face no longer showing any carefree liveliness, and said solemnly, "Senior Brother, Taiping Mountain has been established for tens of thousands of years. How can we allow a mere deputy commander of the Thunder Department to manipulate us at will? I know that when Senior Brother makes a move, he always seeks out the vital point. If he cannot finish the job in one battle, he will surely remain as immovable as a mountain and silent as if he had never done so."

However, Lingxuzi's act of sacrificing his treasure for righteousness today is no ordinary matter. If we do not seek justice for him, wouldn't we be breaking the hearts of his disciples?

The Third Generation Master Lü's expression shifted slightly as he spoke. "Master is known as the Immovable Venerable. Unless he is certain that if he moves, there will be no future trouble, he would never make a move or say a word. Just now, he sighed, but it seems he has already made up his mind."

“Chong’er understands me.”

The voice of the patriarch Ganxiong came from the depths of the cave.

"You do not know that this person attained enlightenment at the end of the ancient era of the Heavenly Emperor. At that time, the Azure Emperor had just fallen, and within his perfectly formed body, nine precious yang spirits transformed into nine suns, which rose and fell with the great sun throughout the universe, scorching crops, killing vegetation, and leaving the people with nothing to eat."

Ji Ming did not expect that Ancestor Gan Xiong would start talking about the old story of the Azure Emperor right away. After all, the ancestor was a disciple of Heaven, so there was no need for too many taboos. Ji Ming put aside his resentment and listened attentively.

"Later, the heavens sent down a decree ordering the 'Youzao Clan' to strike down nine suns. These nine suns transformed into the Nine Springs of the Divine Crow on earth. One of these springs transformed into the spring outside the Divine Pillar Mountain in the northwest, and was called 'Banshan Spring'."

The place where this spring was formed happens to be the location of a precious gold stone at the bottom of Shenzhu Mountain.

This precious gold absorbed a trace of the remaining Yang spirit of the Azure Emperor from the spring, thus becoming the essence of gold. Over time, it transformed into the "Precious Gold Dragon" and has been diligently cultivating in the "Immortal Capital of the Emperor" in the Divine Pillar Mountain ever since.

At the beginning of the Heavenly Zhou Dynasty, he had already attained enlightenment. Because he inherited a bit of the spirit of the Azure Heaven, he was extremely lenient with Heaven and was bestowed with the Great Mighty Thunder of the Immortal Capital. He cultivated under the guidance of the Heavenly Venerable of Opening Heaven and the Great Sage of Primordial Elixir in the Immortal Capital, and made great contributions. Heaven also bestowed upon him a Golden Yuan Ruyi.

At that time, all the immortals called him Jin Fulong Gong, and all the gods and ghosts in the four seas and eight wastelands, as well as the nine netherworlds, treated him as a friend and loved him.

From that time on, he developed arrogance, making it difficult for him to share the same compassion with all beings. His compassion was like a tree without roots, and his cultivation of spiritual power was like a castle in the air. Later, at the end of the Tianzhou era, he was led by gods, monsters, demons and other beings, and unexpectedly became a disciple of the Water Mother Spirit, who was transformed from one of the Four Immortals personally taught by Huang Tian.

Even when others revealed the truth to him, he ignored them completely, believing that he had come to learn real skills and had not nurtured evil. Little did he know that with just one wavering thought, even though the magic of the Water Lily had increased, a great disaster would eventually befall him, leading to his downfall.

After his death, he was not dead. In the underworld, he became the God of Plague in the West, leading tens of thousands of ghosts and spirits. He established the Western Golden Plague Palace, accumulated merits and 81,000 golden flowers, which equaled the number nine and nine, to redeem his past sins. However, this took more than ten thousand years, causing him to miss the final battle of the end of the Tianzhou era to determine the immortals and the Daoist tide of alchemy when the Great Xia Dynasty was founded.

At the beginning of this dynasty, Zhao Tan was freed from the list of Yin spirits and transferred to the True Spirit Sect, where he once again attained immortality. In Baoguang Prefecture, he was known as one of the Four Ancestors of the Xuanhu, and was promoted from the position of Western Plague God to the position of Northern Polar Attendant, holding the important post of Deputy Commander of the Thunder Department.

As he spoke, Gan Xiong paused.

Ji Ming sensed that he was being watched by Patriarch Gan Xiong, so he pretended to obey.

"I thought that after experiencing ups and downs, Zhao Tan's arrogance would have been reduced by at least seven or eight tenths, if not completely eliminated. But now it seems that it is just lying dormant deep in his mind, becoming more and more stubborn and obstinate."

Ancestor Ganxiong sighed softly, called out to Ji Ming with great approval, and said, "Chong'er is right. I have always been afraid of trouble, so I either do nothing or make a move that will last forever. Zhao Tan just mentioned that the Mandate of Heaven has been bestowed and that there will be a great calamity in the Central Plains, which will occur beneath the rivers and lakes, between Turtle Mountain and Snake Ridge."

This calamity is indeed a calamity of the Central Plains, but it is also his great calamity, because this calamity actually originated from the Water Lily of the Wo River, which is related to a major stain on his past life.

Unexpectedly, in his eagerness to cleanse himself of his sins and successfully vanquish the demon, he stirred up his past habits, clouding his judgment and even disregarding the dignity of the immortals.

Ji Ming thought to himself, no wonder Zhao Tan appeared at this time. It turns out he wanted to use the Three Fates to improve his cultivation so that he could deal with the Supreme Demon Master he had mistakenly worshipped in the past—Wo Shui Xian.

Like the Flos Narcissus, one of the direct disciples of the Yellow Emperor, who has survived the suppression of the heavens to this day, he must be a Golden Immortal who has obtained the Primordial Dao Fruit. If it were him, he would probably be so anxious that he would be jumping up and down with his three corpses and five thieves causing chaos.

However, while they may understand, they cannot accept it.

The Fairy of the Green Bag sneered and said, "The calamity over there is far from coming. Under the mandate of Heaven, he is not the only one who will go to quell the disaster. We, the righteous path, all have our duties. Judging from his appearance, he is clearly the one destined to face the calamity."

Master Wuling seemed to have a deep understanding of this, and said to Ji Ming: "If one is unaware of impending calamity, it is like a hidden fire piled up, which will be ignited at the slightest touch. Those who are destined to suffer calamity, even if they have extraordinary abilities, will only know to act willfully beforehand, completely unaware that disaster is already imminent."

Even if someone manages to glimpse the mystery, unless they possess profound spiritual cultivation, the ability to foresee the profound mysteries, and a deep understanding of how to respond, and make all preparations perfectly without any mistakes, they will ultimately need the assistance of many capable and accomplished individuals to turn the tide at the critical moment.

It should be understood that opportune moments are fleeting, and the slightest misstep can render them as illusory as a mirage, resulting in wasted effort. Not only will all previous efforts be in vain, but innocent people may also be implicated, potentially leading to even greater disasters.

Zhao Tan's actions this time have strayed far from the right path; when disaster strikes, he will surely find himself with only a few isolated supporters.

Master Lü stood with his hands behind his back beside the rock ball, his robes fluttering slightly in the spiritual wind of the cave. His gaze swept over the lingering thunderous aura outside the Ten Wood Hill, and he said slowly, "Although Zhao Tan has lost his Dao heart, his foundation is not damaged and his destiny is not exhausted. We need to wait for the right time, the right place, and the right people before we can completely eliminate his destiny."

As he spoke, Master Lü bowed towards the depths of the cave and said, "Please, Master, bestow upon me a wonderful strategy and method."

The remaining Ancestor Wuling, Ancestor Wang, Ancestor Yang, and True Lord Lu all bowed towards the depths of the cave, saying, "Please, Ancestors, bestow your teachings."

"Senior brother, don't hold back. The most important thing for our Taiping Mountain is our people. Don't try to play tricks and damage what our sect values ​​most," the Fairy of the Green Bag said urgently on the flower boat.

"Lingxuzi".

Ancestor Ganxiong's voice came from the depths of the cave, abruptly changing the subject, and he asked Ji Ming, "Do you want that Flower Demon God Technique?"

"Of course."

Ji Ming replied.

"To obtain that divine power is simple; all you need is your promise."

"What do you mean?"

"Eliminate the Zhao family of the True Spirit Sect."
