Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

Shadow Guard Jingyue escorted Shen Gongbao to Queen Jiang.

Shen Gongbao was tightly bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, looking disheveled, but his eyes still held a hint of resentment and cunning.

Queen Jiang sat high on her throne, her brows slightly furrowed, a look of doubt in her eyes. She looked at the person being escorted and asked in a stern tone, "Who is this person?"

Leng Yue stepped forward and knelt respectfully on one knee. "Your Majesty, this man is a disciple of the Chan Sect and also the junior brother of Doctor Jiang. I discovered that he was plotting against Doctor Jiang, so I brought him here."

Upon hearing this, Queen Jiang's phoenix eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light. She waved her hand sharply, "Take him away and execute him immediately!"

Just then, Jiang Ziya rushed over, dressed in court robes, his expression full of anxiety. After entering the main hall, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Queen."

Empress Jiang frowned slightly, gesturing for Jingyue to take Shen Gongbao away first. Then she looked at Jiang Ziya, her eyes filled with displeasure, and asked, "What brings you here, Doctor?"

"Please, Your Majesty, spare my junior brother's life. Your Majesty, although my junior brother acted rashly, he is not a truly wicked person. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy."

Empress Jiang's face darkened, her eyes filled with majesty as she stared at Jiang Ziya, her voice as cold as ice.

"Doctor, do not forget your place! You are a courtier of the Great Shang Dynasty! Shen Gongbao's attempt to destroy Shang is a crime punishable by the extermination of his entire clan, and cannot be forgiven!"

Jiang Ziya's heart tightened. "Your Majesty, my junior brother is a leopard spirit. If we can win him over and make him an inside agent for our Shang Dynasty, it will be much easier to attack Xiqi in the future. I urge Your Majesty to think it over."

After a long while, she slowly said, "This matter will be discussed again when the King returns. You may leave now."

Jiang Ziya had no choice but to bow and prepare to leave. But just then, the Shadow Guard suddenly appeared in the hall, kneeling on one knee, looking nervous.

"Queen Qi reports: The vassal lords of the three towns—east, south, and west—have made unusual moves, attempting to unite their forces and attack the Great Shang, boasting that they will destroy our Great Shang in three days!"

Jiang Ziya and Empress Jiang were both startled upon hearing this, but they remained outwardly calm.

Empress Jiang forced herself to remain calm, took a deep breath, and asked, "So, did they succeed?"

"After returning to the Queen, the three of them each harbored their own ulterior motives and refused to yield to each other, all wanting to seize the dominant position and become the next human king, so they parted on bad terms."

Empress Jiang breathed a slight sigh of relief. She waved her hand and said loudly, "Continue the surveillance. There must be no slackening."

"Good." As soon as Empress Jiang finished speaking, a shadow guard appeared.

"Go immediately to Jin'ao Island and invite the King back to the palace to take charge! Doctor Jiang, you may also step down. There's no need to worry too much, but I want you to remember your place!"

Seeing Queen Jiang's confident demeanor, Jiang Ziya, though still uneasy, refrained from saying anything further and bowed as he withdrew.

In Mount Sumeru, the two prepared to start causing trouble again.

"Junior brother, since the great calamity, the Western Sect's fortunes have plummeted. Now, compared to the Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and Human Sect, we are far inferior. Even Buddhism is stronger than us. Alas."

"Senior brother, things have come to this point, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom. Why don't we try to absorb Buddhism? If we succeed, Western Buddhism will surely flourish and regain its former glory."

Just as the two were plotting, Hongjun's voice rang in their minds: "Go, I'll stop Tongtian, and Yuanshi will stop Laozi."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti were immediately overjoyed.

"Junior brother, this is a golden opportunity, and we must succeed this time to make the Western Sect the number one sect in the primordial world."

Zhunti nodded, a fervent look in his eyes. "That's right, let's set off now. We can't let this opportunity slip away."

After saying that, the two of them flashed and transformed into two streaks of light, rushing towards the Buddhist temple.

Hongjun didn't dare to delay and arrived at Biyou Palace in an instant.

At this time, everyone in Biyou Palace had dispersed. Tongtian was meditating with his eyes closed in the palace. He sensed Hongjun's arrival but remained silent.

"I've heard that Fellow Daoist Tongtian has recently comprehended a new cultivation technique, therefore, I've come today to sit down and discuss the Dao with you. Is that alright?"

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. However, I agree, hahaha!"

"You're that confident?"

"Fellow Daoist, just watch!"

In Buddhism, Duobao suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light burst forth from them.

Three figures that looked exactly like him disappeared into his body.

In an instant, Duobao's aura surged like a volcanic eruption, and a powerful force raged within him, as if it were about to burst through his body.

With a flash of light, Duobao successfully merged his three corpses into one and attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

The moment Duobao attained enlightenment, his colossal shadow appeared above the primordial world, and a melodious Buddhist chant resounded, echoing in every corner of the primordial world.

When the beings of the primordial world sensed this aura, they were first surprised, and then they all bowed respectfully, saying, "Congratulations to Sage Duobao on attaining sainthood and becoming a saint. May you be indestructible for all eternity."

Jieyin and Zhunti also sensed this aura during their journey. Although they were surprised, they did not stop, but instead sped up and flew towards the Buddhist temple.

They knew that even though Duobao had attained sainthood, he was still no match for the two of them.

Hongjun also noticed Duobao's attainment of enlightenment and secretly sighed at Duobao's profound good fortune.

However, he did not pay much attention to it, but simply closed his eyes and meditated. As long as Tongtian did not take action, Buddhism would surely be defeated.

A moment later, Jieyin and Zhunti arrived at the Buddhist temple.

Duobao stood in the Buddhist sky, his appearance solemn and dignified, with Buddhist disciples standing guard behind him.

Jieyin and Zhunti stood opposite Duobao, with a group of Western Sect disciples behind them. The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring about to break.

"I observe that the disciples behind you two fellow practitioners have an affinity with Buddhism. I urge you two to part with them!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti were stunned. They never expected that Duobao would steal their lines.

Jin Guangxian whispered to Duobao, "Master, these people are up to no good. We might not be a match for them."

"It's alright. Leave those two bald monks to me. The rest of the Western Sect disciples will come to your aid. Remember, be careful in everything you do."

After saying that, Duobao's figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot along with Jieyin and Zhunti, instantly arriving in the chaos.

Upon entering the chaos, Duobao raised one hand and then swung it sharply, and an enormous Buddhist world slowly emerged from the chaos.

"A Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand!"

The borders of the Buddhist kingdom emanated a powerful restrictive force, enveloping Jieyin and Zhunti.

Jieyin quickly took out six pure bamboo sticks and charged towards the border of the Buddhist kingdom.

Not to be outdone, Zhunti brandished the Seven Treasures Tree, its light radiant, and frantically slashed at the Buddhist kingdom's restrictions.

Under the combined impact of the two, they broke free from the Buddhist kingdom in just three breaths.

Upon seeing this, Duobao's heart sank. He knew that this battle would be even more difficult than he had imagined.

Duobao used all his skills to navigate through the chaos, casting Buddhist mudras with his hands.

Jieyin and Zhunti also fought back with all their might. Each swing of Jieyin's sword dispelled the attacks launched by Duobao.

Zhunti's Seven Treasures Tree is even more powerful; wherever it goes, the chaotic energy is disrupted.

Duobao, fighting two opponents at once, gradually felt his strength waning and became extremely anxious. He knew that if things continued like this, he would surely be defeated.

"Damn it, if I can't beat you, I'll just run away!"

Duobao made a firm decision, put his hands together, and saw countless golden Buddha statues emerge from behind him, then gather together and surge towards Jieyin and Zhunti.

"All Buddhas pay homage to the One!"

When Jieyin and Zhunti saw this, they were full of disdain and did not take it seriously at all.

Jieyin sneered, "A mere trick!"

He waved six pure bamboo sticks, moving them rapidly in front of him to form a green light screen. The Buddha statues crashed into the light screen, producing booming sounds, but they could not break through it.

Zhunti then gently swept the Seven Treasures Tree, and countless vines bound the Buddha statues. With just one strike, all the Buddha statues shattered, turning into golden powder that scattered into the chaos.

"Duobao, do you think you can escape? Today is your death day!"

After saying that, the two immediately chased after Duobao.

Duobao fled ahead, constantly thinking of a solution.

In every corner of the primordial world, various forces witnessed this scene and watched the spectacle unfold.

Duobao was extremely fast, but Jieyin and Zhunti were not slow either. The distance between them was constantly decreasing, and Duobao could even feel a powerful sense of pressure coming from behind.

"Damn it, why isn't it here yet!"
