Primordial Ancestor: Leading the human race into seclusion at the beginning

Chapter 134 The 'cunning' Nuwa extorts Laozi Yuanshi!

Houtu attained sainthood and her status and strength were already at the level of Dao Ancestor. In fact, the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld was transformed from her body. In terms of status, she may be even higher than Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor of the Heavenly Dao!
Even underground passages cannot restrict it in the slightest, which is why the Six Sages of Heavenly Dao hold it in such high esteem.

As for Xuan Tian, ​​although he has already attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal, the Primordial World is ultimately the domain of the Sages, and the Chaotic World is the true destiny of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

However, at this moment, Houtu Daozu's friendly attitude towards Xuantian was clearly visible to the naked eye!
One of them is a Grand Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, and he is also the younger brother of the Dao Ancestor of the Earth, who controls the entire reincarnation position in the Underworld!

This weight caused the expressions of Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, two of the Three Pure Ones, to change drastically, and their gazes toward Xuantian suddenly became different.

"The Great Dao has retreated into seclusion. Fellow Daoist, you have attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos. Your talent is truly astonishing, earning the utmost admiration from us Heavenly Dao Saints. I am Taiqing. May I ask how you should be addressed?"

Taiqing Laozi remained expressionless, bowing respectfully with a very humble posture, which surprised Zhunti and Jieyin, who were standing to the side.

This Taiqing Laozi usually looks down on his two fellow disciples, and probably doesn't take Xuantian, this Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, seriously.

Who would have thought that their attitude would change so quickly after learning the identities of Xuan Tian and Hou Tu Dao Zu? In terms of shamelessness, the two Western Saints are nothing compared to Taiqing Laozi.

"We, the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, attained sainthood through the merits of the Heavenly Dao. Compared to you, fellow Daoist, we are utterly ashamed!"

When Yuanshi Tianzun spoke, Zhunti and Jieyin, who were standing to the side, widened their eyes in surprise. Yuanshi Tianzun, you thick-browed, big-eyed fellow!
Yes, if Taiqing Laozi was arrogant, then Yuanshi Tianzun didn't even consider the two brothers as arrogance. In terms of pride, Yuanshi was probably even more arrogant than Taiqing.

But now, he actually lowered his own status and took the initiative to praise Xuan Tian, ​​making Zhunti and Jieyin seem as if they were meeting Yuanshi Tianzun for the first time.

But soon they came to their senses. Yuanshi Tianzun was extremely protective of his own, and his self-degradation was probably to plan a position in the underworld for his disciples of the Chan Sect.

Sure enough, just as the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi finished speaking, with a wave of his sleeve, a precious lamp, as clear as glass, emitted a flame that was almost transparent.

However, after just one glance, he felt his primordial spirit become extremely clear, and it also appeared and landed in front of Xuan Tian. "Fellow Daoist, this treasure is the Jade Void Glazed Lamp. I hope to exchange it for a position in the Underworld!"

A sage of such cultivation level naturally wouldn't hold back in his speech. After praising Xuan Tian, ​​Yuanshi Tianzun went straight to the point.

"Our Jie Sect is willing to use this Yuan Yang Merit Ruler to exchange for a position in the Underworld. We hope you will grant our request!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader also spoke up. He had quite a few disciples in his Jie Sect. Moreover, at the beginning of the sect's founding, the sect's fortune was lacking. If he could exchange it for a position in the Underworld, it would also be of great benefit to the Jie Sect's fortune. The Yuan Yang Merit Ruler he took out at this time was a merit treasure. Killing someone would not incur karma. In terms of value, it could be considered top-tier among the best innate treasures.

"This"

Seeing that the Three Pure Ones had brought out their treasures in exchange for a position in the Underworld, Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance and suddenly became anxious.

To say I wasn't tempted would be a complete lie.

However, their Western religion has always been impoverished, and having previously lost nearly half of its resources, it is now short of treasures to offer. Could it be that they really have to bring out the Golden Lotus of Merit, which is meant to protect the religion's fortune?

That would be a complete loss.

If they can't afford to pay for it, they can only watch helplessly. Zhunti and Jieyin are also very upset, but there's nothing they can do.

"You sages, you are being far too kind!"

Looking at the Three Pure Ones who offered their treasures in exchange for a position in the Underworld, Xuan Tian smiled and spoke gently, but inwardly he sneered.

The attainment of a position in the Underworld involves far more than just simple matters. Once a disciple of a sage is appointed, the entire cycle of reincarnation in the Underworld, and even the authority of the Underworld, will likely be infiltrated by the Heavenly Dao. At that time, it will not be as simple as just a treasure; it could shake the very foundation of the Underworld, and even affect the evolution of the Underworld and the cycle of reincarnation in all the heavens.

Xuan Tian would never do something like sacrificing the greater good for a small gain.

However, the treasures offered by the Three Pure Ones were practically free; why not take them? With that in mind, Xuan Tian was ready to agree immediately. But just then, a voice transmission sounded in his mind.

The next moment, Nuwa, who had remained silent, waved her sleeves and took out two treasures: a golden gourd and a fragment of the Jade Butterfly of Creation.

"This treasure is a golden gourd, formed from the gourd vine, and is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. As for this jade butterfly fragment, its value is also comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It can be exchanged for a position in the Underworld!"

Nuwa's clear voice startled the previously confident Three Pure Ones, even making them somewhat annoyed, since this was clearly price gouging.

Two top-grade innate spiritual treasures can be exchanged for a position in the underworld.
Most importantly, the Sage Nuwa did not establish a great religion, nor did she have any disciples. What use would she be for that position in the Underworld? This would be completely going against them!
"Ok?"

Upon seeing the treasures that the Sage Nuwa had brought out, Xuan Tian's face broke into a wide smile as he looked at the Three Pure Ones, his meaning clear: the highest bidder wins.

He was also somewhat surprised, for the one who had just transmitted the message was none other than the Sage Nuwa.

"This is a pot of Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. In terms of value, it is equivalent to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It can be exchanged for the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern and the position of the Five Ghost Emperors of the Underworld!"

Taiqing Laozi gritted his teeth and took out another pot of Nine-Turn Golden Pills. He had planned to keep these for his future disciples, but if he could exchange them for the position of a Five Directions Ghost Emperor, it would be completely worth it.

"This treasure is the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner. It can be exchanged with the Jade Void Glazed Lamp for the position of the Five Directions Ghost Emperor!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable took out a small flag, which rustled and transformed into ten thousand golden lotuses. His expression was also somewhat unpleasant. Top-grade innate spiritual treasures are not common, and it was quite painful for a Heavenly Dao Saint to take it out. However, as long as it could be exchanged for a Ghost Emperor position for his disciples, the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, it would be worth it.

"This item is the Fishing Drum, a rare treasure from the primordial era, worth a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Together with the Primordial Yang Merit Ruler, it can be exchanged for the position of the Five Directions Ghost Emperor!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader spoke, and in addition to the merit treasure, he actually took out a strange treasure shaped like a fish drum.

He had eight direct disciples under his Jie Sect, among whom the Three Immortals of Sanxiao were the youngest and he favored them greatly. If he were to obtain the position of one of the Five Ghost Emperors, he would choose from among the Three Immortals of Sanxiao.

As for Zhunti and Jieyin, they could only worry helplessly, as they had no treasures to offer.

Both the blessed pestle and the golden lotus of merit are the only treasures left in the Western Sect. If they were to be taken out again, even a dignified Heavenly Saint would not have a single handy treasure left.

"good!"

Looking at the many treasures before him, Xuan Tian's smile grew even wider. With a swift grab, he took them all in his hand and immediately made a vow to uphold the Great Dao.

Rumble!
The next moment, sensing the Dao, a special talisman entered Xuan Tian's brow.

Upon seeing this, the three Pure Ones instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, as they were worried that Xuan Tian might accept the treasure but then deny its value.

However, once the oath of the Great Dao is broken, even the Dao Ancestor will perish and his Dao will be extinguished. Even though Xuan Tian has the backing of the Dao Ancestor and has attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan.

Could it be that one can break the oath of the Great Dao and wander outside of the Great Dao?

Although it came at the cost of two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, as long as it could be exchanged for the position of a Five Directions Ghost Emperor, this time it would definitely be a huge profit.

"This time, we've definitely made a killing!"

Looking at the many treasures in his hands, Xuan Tian had the same thought.
