People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 346 Nezha draws his bow and shoots a heaven-shaking arrow; Shiji angrily approaches Chentang Pass!
Skull Mountain.

Standing outside the White Bone Cave, Shi Ji wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, watched Ma Yuan's disheveled escape, and coldly said:

"From this day forward, do not return to Skull Mountain, or do not blame me for disregarding our fellow disciples!"

Now, Shi Ji's cultivation level is higher than Ma Yuan's, and with the many acquired spiritual treasures bestowed by Yang Xuan, the gap between the two has widened further.

In the blink of an eye, Ma Yuan's strongest supernatural power was broken by Shi Ji using dozens of acquired spiritual treasures.

The final result is self-evident. Although Shi Ji suffered considerable injuries in the battle and needed to recuperate in seclusion for a period of time.

However, Ma Yuan's injuries were clearly more severe, and it was uncertain whether he could recover before the great calamity arrived.

If it weren't for Shi Ji's consideration for them both being disciples of the Jie Sect, Ma Yuan probably wouldn't have had the chance to leave Skull Mountain alive today.

However, Shi Ji only spared Ma Yuan's life, but she knew that while he could run away, he couldn't hide. She wouldn't be so lenient with Ma Yuan's cave.

She immediately went to the outside of Ma Yuan's cave, took out the Tai'a sword, and struck the eye of the protective formation with one strike, easily breaking the formation. She then strode inside.

Shi Ji and Ma Yuan had fought for many years and knew each other well. It was not surprising that they knew the key point of the formation.

If Shi Ji had been defeated today, Ma Yuan would have broken through the protective formation of the White Bone Cave in no time either.

After entering the cave, Shi Ji repeatedly took action, erasing all the marks left by Ma Yuan and altering the formation outside the cave, thus freeing the cave from Ma Yuan's control.

After doing all this, Shi Ji finally felt relieved and returned to the White Bone Cave. She instructed the two attendants, Bi Yun and Cai Yun, to lead the creatures that had submitted to Skull Mountain, resolve the unstable factors around Ma Yuan Cave, and regulate the surrounding earth veins.

Shi Ji herself, on the other hand, secluded herself in the White Bone Cave to recuperate from her injuries.

With the great calamity approaching, she dared not be careless in the slightest and had to recover from her injuries as soon as possible.

……

Chentang Pass, General's Residence.

Nezha was naturally restless and had no respect for Taiyi Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren took Nezha in with the intention of protecting him from calamity. Apart from teaching Nezha supernatural powers and magic, he did not discipline him much.

This led to Nezha frequently returning to Chentang Pass to show off his newly learned supernatural powers and magic, as well as the innate spiritual treasures he possessed.

In order to get Nezha to take the blame for him, Taiyi Zhenren completely adopted a forced teaching method.

As a result, Nezha's cultivation level improved too quickly; in just over 30,000 years, he had already broken through to the Golden Immortal realm.

Nezha's cultivation level improved so quickly that he couldn't control his strength at all, which often caused trouble and earned him a scolding from Yin Shiniang.

Today, Nezha was locked up by Yin Shiniang again for causing trouble.

Over the years, Nezha has become quite familiar with being locked up in solitary confinement.

After nightfall, he secretly slipped out of his room, put his hands in his pockets, and wandered aimlessly around the general's mansion.

Before he knew it, Nezha had arrived at the outside of a pavilion.

This pavilion houses the Qiankun Bow and the Zhentian Arrow, and it was always heavily guarded, never giving Nezha a chance to get close.

But today, there were no soldiers guarding the outside of this pavilion, not even any patrolling soldiers.

Nezha had long been curious about the attic, and now that he had such a rare opportunity, how could he possibly miss it?

He immediately used invisibility and stealthily slipped inside along the wall.

Om-!
As soon as they entered, the Qiankun Bow on the upper floor suddenly trembled slightly. Nezha sensed something and immediately saw the longbow filled with killing intent.

The Qiankun Bow has an extraordinary origin; it is said to have been the personal bow and arrow of the Yellow Emperor during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period.

During the Battle of Zhuolu, Xuanyuan used this bow to wreak havoc on all sides, and countless demons died under its power.

There are even rumors that the legendary Chi You almost met his end under this bow.

After Xuanyuan entered the Fire Cloud Cave, the Qiankun Bow was left in Chentang Pass. For tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to draw the bow.

Nezha had long admired the Qiankun Bow, and now that he had finally seen it, he couldn't contain his curiosity and wanted to play with it properly.

With this in mind, Nezha immediately took the bow down.

"Huh? This is..."

The moment he touched it, a fierce aura surged from Nezha's body, and a mysterious feeling arose in his heart, as if he had formed a strange connection with the Qiankun Bow. The Qiankun Bow even emitted a pleasant humming sound!

"Hahaha, good darling, you have good taste! Following me is definitely the right choice!!"

Nezha laughed loudly, in a very good mood.

Although Taiyi Zhenren did not put his heart into teaching Nezha, he only focused on improving Nezha's cultivation and supernatural powers to make him stronger in battle.

However, having cultivated under the guidance of Master Taiyi for so many years, his insight had changed considerably, and he could naturally discern the extraordinary nature of the Qiankun Bow.

In terms of killing prowess, this bow is in no way inferior to the Qiankun Ring and the Hun Tian Ling; it is a rare and precious treasure.

The more Nezha looked at the Qiankun Bow, the more he liked it. He looked at the Zhentian Arrow next to it and felt an irresistible urge to use it.

After hesitating for a moment, Nezha picked up the Heaven-Shaking Arrow and nocked it onto the Qiankun Bow.

He gripped the bowstring with both hands, lifted his feet to support the bow, and pulled it backward with force.

The Qiankun Bow, which had baffled countless people, was slowly drawn open by Nezha.

call out--!
The moment the hand is released, the arrow is released from the bowstring.

The Heaven-Shaking Arrow, silent for countless years, was released and swiftly pierced the sky, emitting a dazzling red light and releasing a terrifying killing intent before disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

"What a baby, what a baby!"

Watching the Heaven-Shaking Arrow disappear into the sky, Nezha became more and more satisfied with the Qiankun Bow, but then a conflicted look appeared on his face.

After thinking for a long time, he finally put the Qiankun Bow back on the shelf.

If I were to leave with the Qiankun Bow at this moment, it would definitely be confiscated by Yin Shiniang, and I would also get a beating.

Nezha glanced at the Qiankun Bow with reluctance, then sneaked out of the pavilion again.

Only after Nezha had gone far away did the patrolling guards return to the pavilion. Seeing that the pavilion door was tightly closed, they did not check it further and were unaware that Nezha had entered the pavilion.

at the same time.

Skull Mountain, Bone Cave.

Shi Ji was in seclusion recuperating from her injuries when she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and had a bad premonition.

But now that the great calamity is approaching, the entire prehistoric world is filled with dense calamity energy, so she naturally cannot deduce anything using the deductive methods of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Could it be Ma Yuan?" Shi Ji frowned slightly. If Ma Yuan dared to come back and cause trouble, then she wouldn't be polite.

"Huh? This is..."

But before she could think any further, she suddenly sensed a soaring aura of malevolence rushing towards her from afar, instantly arriving at Skull Mountain.

"not good!"

Shi Ji looked at the arrow that was carrying a soaring murderous aura, and the direction in which it landed was exactly in the direction where Bi Yun Tong Zi was!

The arrow was incredibly fast; Shi Ji had barely stepped out of the White Bone Cave when she was already in front of Bi Yun Tong Zi.

Biyun Tongzi, with only the cultivation level of a Xuanxian, was completely unprepared while sorting out the earth's veins in Skull Mountain.

Faced with this ancient weapon radiating a terrifying aura, how could there be any room for resistance?
Just as Biyun Tongzi raised his protective immortal light, it was shattered by the baleful aura.

If this arrow were to hit Biyun Tongzi, his physical body and primordial spirit would be completely obliterated in an instant, leaving him no chance to reincarnate!

At this critical moment, the jade talisman around Biyun Tongzi's neck suddenly released a red light full of auspiciousness, enveloping his body and blocking the Heaven-Shaking Arrow.

The Heaven-Shaking Arrow is an ancient weapon of destruction, possessing astonishing ferocity and carrying a soaring killing intent; every arrow it fires draws blood.

This red light is composed of pure and auspicious energy, a well-known auspicious object in the primordial world.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, like needles clashing against wheat awns.

After a long time, the baleful aura surrounding the Heaven-Shaking Arrow was completely exhausted, and it fell to the ground with a clang.

At that moment, the jade talisman around Biyun Tongzi's neck also made a cracking sound, breaking into two pieces.

The blood-red light that enveloped his body also disappeared at that moment.

Shi Ji had already arrived beside Bi Yun Tong Zi. Looking at the jade talisman broken in two, she was filled with emotion.

When Yang Xuan bestowed these spiritual items upon Shi Ji, he said that these jade talismans could be given to close relatives or friends, and might be able to protect him from a calamity.

Shi Ji originally thought it was just an ordinary acquired spiritual treasure, so she casually handed it over to the two boys, Bi Yun and Cai Yun.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly unremarkable jade talisman possessed such power.

It should be known that the power of the Heaven-Shaking Arrow is extremely terrifying. Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal like her would not fare well if caught off guard by this arrow.

Biyun Tongzi was just a Xuanxian (a type of immortal), and being hit by the Zhentian Arrow would have meant certain death, with no other possibility. However, thanks to a jade talisman given to him by Yang Xuan, he was able to survive unharmed.

"Alas, I owe the Emperor another favor. How can I ever repay it..."

Shi Ji shook her head and smiled bitterly, then used her magic to pick up the Heaven-Shaking Arrow from the ground.

Above the arrow shaft, a line of words was clearly written—

Li Jing, General of Chentang Pass

"Chentang Pass?"

Shi Ji frowned slightly, having never heard of this place before, but after a simple deduction, she knew where Chen Tang Pass was and who Li Jing was.

"You, Li Jing, how dare you bully me? Do you really think I have no temper?!"

Shi Ji was furious. Even though she had a decent temper and was not one to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

But her servant was obediently staying in Skull Mountain, yet he was almost killed by the Heaven-Shaking Arrow. How could she tolerate this?
Shi Ji immediately mounted the blue phoenix and sped towards Chen Tang Pass.

In the past, if someone had bullied her like this, she would have been furious unless she had to demolish the General's Mansion.

However, considering that the Great Tribulation is approaching and the Nine Provinces are a major battlefield of the Great Tribulation, the human race is also a major participant in the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

When Shi Ji arrived at Chen Tang Pass, she changed her mind. She threw the Heaven-Shaking Arrow in front of Li Jing, briefly explained the matter of Skull Mountain, and asked Li Jing for an explanation.

Li Jing looked at the Heaven-Shaking Arrow in front of him and immediately showed a look of shock.

Since Xuanyuan entered the Fire Cloud Cave, no one has ever drawn the Qiankun Bow, nor has anyone ever fired the Zhentian Arrow; they have always been kept in the Qiankun Pavilion for safekeeping.

Now Shi Ji said that the Heaven-Shaking Arrow had actually traveled hundreds of millions of miles from Chen Tang Pass and almost killed Bi Yun Tong Zi in Skull Mountain. How could he not be surprised?
"Lady Shiji, this matter may be a misunderstanding..."

Li Jing hurriedly bowed and recounted the story of the Qiankun Bow and the Zhentian Arrow.

But he also understood that the Heaven-Shaking Arrow belonged to Chen Tang Pass, and no matter what, he had an inescapable responsibility.

Shi Ji was a disciple of the Jie Sect, and not the kind of person who was unreasonable. For both public and private reasons, he should be responsible for investigating this matter and giving Shi Ji an explanation.

After recounting the story of the Qiankun Bow, Li Jing immediately stated:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this Heaven-Shaking Arrow does indeed belong to Chen Tang Pass. This is an indisputable fact. This humble general will thoroughly investigate this matter and give Your Majesty an explanation as soon as possible!"

Seeing that Li Jing was sincere and straightforward, Shi Ji nodded and did not make things too difficult for him.

"I will give you three thousand years. As long as you bring the evildoers to Skull Mountain within three thousand years, I will not make things difficult for you."

"But if you still can't bring the evildoers to Skull Mountain three thousand years from now, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Having said that, Shi Ji used her escape light to return to Skull Mountain.

Now, the earth veins inside and outside Skull Mountain have been almost completely cleared. Everything is ready except for the final push. Once the Yin and Yang realms are connected at Skull Mountain, the construction of the Gate of Hell can officially begin.

At this critical juncture, she certainly didn't want anything to go wrong.

After Shi Ji left, Li Jing immediately began investigating the matter.

Three thousand years is neither a short nor a long time. If we don't seize the time, we may find it difficult to find anything in three thousand years.

No wall is completely airtight; wherever there is a trace, there will be a trace.

After more than a hundred years of meticulous investigation, Li Jing set his sights on Nezha.

Nezha did not hide the fact that he had drawn the Qiankun Bow; in fact, he seemed quite proud of it.

Unbeknownst to him, the arrow he shot into the sky inexplicably traveled billions of miles and nearly killed Biyun Tongzi.

Although Li Jing was shocked that Nezha could draw the Qiankun Bow, he also understood that Nezha had once again caused a great disaster, and had even offended the immortals of the Jie Sect.

When Nezha heard that his arrow had almost killed Biyun Tongzi, he was dumbfounded.

He was worried about hurting the people of Chentang Pass, so he shot the Heaven-Shaking Arrow into the sky. Even if it was meant to hurt people, it should have hurt the celestial beings in the Heavenly Court, right? How could it have flown to Skull Mountain?
Despite his confusion, it was an undeniable fact that Li Jing ultimately decided to take Nezha to Skull Mountain.

Fortunately, Biyun Tongzi did not die, so there is still a chance for this matter to turn around. However, if they choose to run away, they will anger Shiji, which is not a good thing.

However, Shiji was, after all, a Taiyi Golden Immortal and an immortal of the Jie Sect.

For safety's sake, when Li Jing took Nezha to Skull Mountain, he sent someone to inform Taiyi Zhenren about the matter.

Taiyi Zhenren is a Great Luo Golden Immortal and has a master-disciple relationship with Nezha. If something happens to Nezha, Taiyi Zhenren will be there to protect him, at least preventing him from falling into danger.
