Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1738 The Pit Digged by the First Emperor Millions of Years Ago
Jin'ao Island.

Dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed and thunder thundered.

Any bolt of lightning could create a crater the size of an eight-immortal table, within which flames would burst forth as if alive, tongues of fire leaping wildly in all directions, lightning crisscrossing in all directions, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.

Caught off guard, Huanglong Zhenren was struck head-on by a bolt of lightning. He cried out in pain and it took him a long time to get up. His blue Taoist robe was torn in half.

The aftershocks of this manifested magic power couldn't really harm him, a Taiyi Golden Immortal; it just revealed his muscular physique, which somewhat tarnished his immortal dignity.

Without saying a word, Zhen Yuanzi once again summoned the Earth Book, making himself completely safe.

The immortals of the Chan Sect reacted a beat slower. Seeing Zhen Yuanzi make his move, they finally realized what was happening. Chi Jingzi pulled Huanglong into the circle, and the group joined forces to set up a large defensive formation.

The three great Buddhist masters offered up three lotus platforms to protect themselves.

Maitreya summoned the Seven Treasures Tree of Cundi, and the phantom of a Gengjin Bodhi Tree blocked all the black lightning from entering.

After all the immortals were safe, they turned to the disciples of the Jie Sect and asked, "What are you doing? Are you trying to wipe out all the immortals outside the Jie Sect in the prehistoric world? Are you all insane?"
The Holy Mother Jinling was furious, but her anger was directed at Daoist Duobao.

She immediately took control of her authority as the leader of the sect and attempted to use the sect's protective formation to resist the lightning.

The next moment, her anger escalated even further.

The protective array on Jin'ao Island clearly showed signs of activation, but it went silent again after detecting that the change originated from Duobao.

What does this mean? It means that Duobao's authority is higher than that of Jinling Shengmu. How could a semi-reclusive senior disciple have more authority than Jinling, the sect leader? It can only mean that Duobao held back some power when he handed it over.

This move has disgusted the Golden Spirit Mother.

The questioning looks from the immortals made her feel uneasy.

Explanation is impossible; the more you try to explain, the worse it gets.

The only option now is to regain control of the formation as quickly as possible.

Even though Duobao has lost his ability to perceive the outside world, and Jinling is lagging behind Duobao in terms of control over the array, magical power, and array formation skills, it will not be an easy task for him to regain control of the array and take back control of Jin'ao Island.

She could only join forces with the Holy Mother of Wudang, who also had some authority. The two of them worked together to try to take back the island's protective formation.

Inside the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

The Taoist figure behind Duobao, wielding a black lightning bolt, grew increasingly solemn and majestic. He felt that he was on the path from using the Great Dao to controlling it, and that was the difference between a Quasi-Saint and a Primordial Grand Luo.

Making the Great Dao a part of one's own body, lightning can become gentle, water can burn all things, turning the impossible into possible, transcending the Great Dao, and modifying the rules of all things with one's own thoughts—this is the fundamental reason why a Primordial Golden Immortal can be called supremely powerful.

Countless bolts of lightning surrounded Jin'ao Island, and a fierce storm raged. Something seemed to be hiding in the darkness, about to hatch. Once this thing was born, it would surely cause a bloodbath.

Duobao didn't know why he had changed like this. He didn't refuse it. Instead, he stubbornly believed that he had accumulated knowledge and experience and had embarked on a completely new path.

Deng Chanyu was only surprised. What are you trying to do? I need to deal with Yunxiao after I get rid of you. Time is money, my friend. Your sudden burst of power is just wasting my time! Rushing in without knowing the enemy's situation is the way of the Wu Clan. The right way is to first figure out the enemy's strength and think of a way to defeat them.

While observing Duobao's changes, she glanced at an inconspicuous rogue immortal among the crowd and sent a hidden divine sense to him: "Fellow Daoist, was all of this your plan?"

The Thunder God, hidden among the immortals, was greatly alarmed and hurriedly declared, "No, I know nothing about it!"

Deng Chanyu pressed further, "If I'm not mistaken, the changes in Duobao's body originated from you? And now you're saying that all of this has nothing to do with you?"

Previously, as a guest, it was inconvenient for her to refuse the host, but now that a fight has broken out, she must be trying to figure out the reasons behind it.

Deng Chanyu originally thought that the Tongtian Sect Leader had not completely killed the Chaos Demon God, and that Duobao had gone astray by absorbing its power, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

After she forcibly broke through the fog of celestial secrets, she calculated that the problem lay with the Thunder God. However, he pretended to be a carefree immortal, standing there watching the show as if nothing had happened, which was intolerable.

Just because I give Fuxi face doesn't mean you can scheme against me to my face.

To put it more bluntly, different experiences and environments shape different people. The reincarnated Fuxi is no longer the Fuxi who was born with Nuwa.

The relationship between Fuxi's stepfather and Nuwa's disciple is quite complicated.

When there is no conflict of interest, Deng Chanyu can give Thor face out of respect for Master Fu. But when there is a conflict of interest, she will say, "Old man, who do you think you are?"

Thor also knew that the connection between the two sides was not a protective charm, and that the primordial world was not a world of gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility at all.

If he tries to hide it, the other party won't give him any face.

Thor hurriedly explained, "It all originated from a chaotic divine thunder. At that time, when the primordial world was first created, my elder brother Zulong and I traveled in the chaos. In a dangerous place, we obtained the essence of this divine thunder. My elder brother believed that this was the aftershock of a power that Pangu had created after the creation of the world. After that, my elder brother gave the essence of this divine thunder to me."

"Hehe, is this the aftershock of Pangu creating the world? How ridiculous!" Deng Chanyu chuckled twice, her tone full of contempt.

Thor's face was also extremely grim. Pangu? Look at Duobao's current appearance, does he look even remotely like someone who inherited Pangu's power?
There are only two explanations for this situation.

One reason is that Emperor Taizu of Han had poor judgment; he mistook Feng Jing for Ma Liang and made a mistake.

Another possibility is that Emperor Zulong harbored ulterior motives and deliberately misrepresented the facts.

Why did Zulong do this? It was because of the beginning of the world. Although they were sworn brothers, at that time, Leishen and Zulong had not experienced the later wars between the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan, so their friendship was as thin as paper.

He had held this divine lightning for billions of years and hadn't figured it out at all.

There are also differences between the specific paths of lightning. The Thunder God takes a specialized and refined approach, while this divine lightning takes a broad and extensive approach. This is why he has been able to restrain his greed and not absorb the divine lightning for so many years.

Looking back now, I realize I was really lucky. I've been holding onto this huge pit for millions of years and never stepped into it, while Daoist Duobao inexplicably fell in.

Thor tried to make his tone sound friendly: "Fellow Daoist, you are incredibly powerful. Only you can stop Duobao now. Please make your move quickly."
