Primordial Era: I, Ksitigarbha, shall be the Supreme Being of the Primordial Era.

Chapter 10 The Eastern King Duke Loses His Treasure and Flees

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King's face turned pale and then red.

If it weren't for Zhunti repeatedly interrupting him, how could he have spoken so rashly in his haste?

But now that he is seriously injured and the Queen Mother of the West is not putting in any effort, how can they possibly defeat Jieyin and Zhunti?

Seeing that the Eastern King Duke remained silent, the Western Queen Mother knew that he was probably considering backing down. She then spoke again, saying, "My two fellow Daoists, we were the ones who were unreasonable this time, damaging your treasure mountain. We are willing to compensate you!"

"Just don't fight anymore. If we continue, the two Daoist brothers will be unable to protect their treasure mountain, and the four of us may also be ambushed by villains. It would be a loss for us."

The Queen Mother of the West spoke calmly and sincerely, which stirred Jieyin and Zhunti's hearts slightly. However, when they thought that their temple had almost been destroyed, the hatred in their hearts suppressed their desire for compensation.

Seeing that Jieyin and Zhunti remained unmoved and even showed signs of channeling their magical power, the Queen Mother of the West grew anxious.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, the Queen Mother of the West abruptly spoke up: "My two fellow Daoists, don't you think about your own Daoist temple? Don't you think about your disciples?"

"Queen Mother of the West, how dare you harm my disciple?"

Upon hearing west Wangmu's words, the two Taoists, Jieyin and Zhunti, could no longer sit still. They once again unleashed their two spiritual treasures, which had become dim due to the battle, showing a tendency to fight to the death if they couldn't kill them.

"No, no, you two fellow Daoists have misunderstood!" The Queen Mother of the West hurriedly explained, "What I meant was that the West is barren and lacks resources. You two Daoists can persevere in your cultivation, but how can your disciple improve without resources? Does he expect to suffer in the West like you two?"

"Why don't you two take the resources? You can rebuild the treasure mountain and train apprentices at the same time—killing two birds with one stone! What do you think?"

The Queen Mother of the West's words struck at the Accomplished weakness of the two Daoists, Jieyin and Zhunti. Their nearly thousand years of interaction with Ksitigarbha had made them realize Ksitigarbha's talent.

In Erdao's heart, Ksitigarbha is the hope for the rise of their Mount Sumeru lineage, and also the first choice to inherit Mount Sumeru.

They couldn't bear to let Ksitigarbha follow them in their arduous cultivation!

Zhunti Daoist turned to look at Jieyin Daoist, who had nodded in agreement, and sighed slightly, saying, "Very well, since that's how it is, then so be it! May I ask how you intend to compensate me?"

After she finished speaking, a hint of joy finally appeared on the serious face of the Queen Mother of the West. Then, suppressing her heartache, she took out three peaches from her bosom and said, "I am willing to use these as compensation, how about it?"

When the Dao Ancestor bestowed this peach tree upon me, only five peaches remained.

This is the first fruit of the Primordial Ren Water Peach Tree, containing the essence of the Primordial Ren Water Peach Tree. One piece can enable a mortal to become a Golden Immortal!

I had already given one to your esteemed disciple, and I used one of them. Now I only have these last three left!

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance but did not answer. Instead, they turned their gazes to Dongwanggong.

Clearly, the Queen Mother of the West's offer of three peaches as an apology was sufficient.

When Dongwanggong saw Jieyin and Zhunti looking at him, his face darkened. He cursed the two villains for their greed, but he was helpless because he was not as skilled as them. He could only wave his hand and take out three orbs of light.

"This is a hundred catties of spiritual essence, a hundred spiritual fruits from spiritual roots, and a low-grade innate spiritual root, the Dragon Saliva Green Grape Tree, as compensation for you two!"

"That's it? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

This was the shared thought of both Jieyin Zhunti and Ksitigarbha, who had appeared behind Jieyin Zhunti at some unknown time.

It's like I demolish your house, then throw a thousand dollars at you and tell you that's compensation.

Is this some kind of insult?

The Queen Mother of the West felt embarrassed looking at what the King Father of the East had brought out, but when she looked at what she had brought out, she felt like a great victim.

Seeing the dark faces of his two masters, Ksitigarbha cursed inwardly.

He then walked to Jieyin and Zhunti's side, knelt down on the ground, and tears streamed down his face. He said, "My two masters, I would rather suffer hardship and make no progress than have you two suffer such humiliation."

Ksitigarbha's heartfelt words seemed to ignite the fuse for Jieyin and Zhunti, and with a "boom," the remaining magical power within the two of them burst forth from their bodies without any concealment.

Their bloodshot eyes clearly showed the rage in their hearts.

The Six Pure Bamboos and the Seven Treasures Tree reflected each other in the void, and a spiritual curtain, centered on the two treasures, directly covered the entire Mount Sumeru.

Even as he was about to do something, he moved Ksitigarbha, who was kneeling beside him, out of Mount Sumeru.

Clearly, these two were truly intent on killing. Even the Dao Ancestor's arrival was useless; they were humiliated and even spat on. If this case went all the way to the Dao Ancestor, they would still be in the right.

Seeing this, the Eastern King Duke finally panicked, while the Western Queen Mother sighed and decided that after rescuing the Eastern King Duke this time, she would no longer concern herself with his affairs.

She was indeed the first female immortal in the primordial world, appointed by the Dao Ancestor. However, in the vast primordial world, the strong are respected. She was already feeling uneasy, and if she were to cause trouble for Dong Wanggong, she would probably die and disappear sooner or later.

The Queen Mother of the West is undoubtedly a clear-headed person. She had previously agreed to the promises made by the King Duke of the East and was attracted by his empty promises, but now she has come to her senses in time.

On the other hand, Dong Wanggong finally realized that it would be difficult for him to leave this time. He was arrogant, not stupid.

"Please wait, gentlemen. This was my fault. I am willing to compensate you for your losses. How about I offer ten times the amount you have offered?"

Seeing that the two men still showed no sign of stopping, Dongwanggong shouted again, "A hundredfold! A hundredfold!"

The hasty promise from the Eastern King Duke plunged Mount Sumeru into silence.

Seeing this, Dongwanggong also hurriedly used the Pot Heaven Technique, and one by one, treasures flew out of the Pot Heaven and stopped in the void.

"This contains ten thousand catties of spiritual essence, two low-grade innate spiritual roots, one mid-grade innate spiritual root, and two mid-grade innate spiritual treasures! Are you two fellow Daoists satisfied?"

The Eastern King looked at the treasures he had taken out with a heavy heart. These were all treasures he had accumulated over the years, which he had intended to use to build up his power. But he never expected to lose them all here.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, silently removed the spiritual barrier outside Mount Sumeru, and then with a wave of their hands, collected all the treasures in the air, including the spiritual fruit that Dongwanggong had taken out first.

After putting away the compensation from the Eastern King Duke, the two looked at the Western Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother of the West understood and, disregarding the pain in her heart, quickly handed over the three peaches she held.

Seeing that Jieyin and Zhunti had put away the treasures, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Eastern King Duke forced a smile and said to the two Taoists, "This humble Taoist has other matters to attend to, so I will not linger any longer. I will visit you again in the future!"

After saying this, he stumbled and rode a cloud away from Mount Sumeru, heading east, ignoring the Queen Mother of the West who was still there.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West snorted coldly, first bowing to the two Taoist priests, Jieyin and Zhunti, and without waiting for them to return the bow, she got up and chased after them.

Once the two were completely out of sight, Jieyin and Zhunti sat down on the ground, no longer resembling their previous appearance.

As soon as the spiritual curtain covering Mount Sumeru dispersed, Ksitigarbha returned to Mount Sumeru and happened to see the two sitting cross-legged.

Startled, he rushed forward, still clutching the jade bottle containing the Three Lights Divine Water.

"Masters, are you alright? I have some Three Lights Divine Water here, please drink it quickly!"

Ksitigarbha hurriedly handed the Three Lights Divine Water to his two masters, but to his surprise, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a smile.

"Haha, my good disciple, don't panic. It's just that my magic power has been exhausted. The mere Eastern King Duke can't harm us!"

Zhunti smiled easily.

Jieyin nodded and replied, "The Three Lights Divine Water is a sacred healing product; there's no need to use it here."

"This...Master..."

Ksitigarbha was speechless when he saw the two Taoist priests, one fat and one thin, sitting in front of him in a completely unseemly manner.

"Alright, stop acting like a child. Master got a lot of treasures this time, haha, I'll share a few with you later!"
