Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 276 The West's New Plans: Gongbao Becomes a Disciple

"What?! There are actually two Flying Bears here!"

Yuanshi was very surprised, as his teacher in Zixiao Palace had not mentioned that there were two people with the Flying Bear.

"Did you see that clearly? Behind both of them, there's the aura of a flying bear?"

Yuanshi asked solemnly, "This concerns the future strategy of the Chan Sect."

"This disciple is absolutely certain that they are all of the same flying bear form, without any falsehood."

The Old Man of the South Pole made a solemn promise, but then a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"Unfortunately, this disciple's skills are too weak to overwhelm that white lotus and bring both Flying Bears back to Kunlun Mountain."

"You've done your best, this isn't your fault."

Yuan Shi waved his hand, "You may leave now."

"Yes, teacher."

After the Antarctic Immortal left, Yuanshi's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly relaxed. The two Flying Bears were not scary; what he was worried about was that the Flying Bears would be recruited into the Jie Sect.

With the power of the Jie Sect and the presence of the Flying Bear, the Chan Sect and the Western Sect are in grave danger during the Investiture of the Gods.

As for the people of Feixiong falling into the hands of the Western Religion, Yuanshi is not worried. At worst, he can just cooperate with the Western Religion.

Above the auspicious clouds of the heavens, Yuanshi remained silent for a long time before exhaling a breath of turbid air. "Tongtian, one day you will understand that your path was wrong from the very beginning."

Meanwhile, at the sacred site of Sumeru, beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Cundi and Jieyin were filled with sorrow.

It has been quite some time since Bai Lian and the others descended the mountain. The malevolent energy in the world is growing stronger day by day, obscuring the secrets of heaven. Could it be that the person from Flying Bear is truly not destined for the West?

Zhunti said with a worried look, "It's fine if Fei Xiong doesn't come to my West, but I hope he won't join the Chan Sect or the Jie Sect either."

This is a typical example of Zhunti's mentality of being unable to bear seeing others do well.

Jieyin shook his head. "Junior brother, don't sigh. Judging from the speed at which this evil aura is rising, the great calamity is at least three to five hundred years away. During this time, we may be able to find the person who is the Flying Bear."

At this moment, the voice of the White Lotus Child came from outside the Sumeru Sacred Realm, "My lords, the White Lotus requests an audience."

Bai Lian's voice was filled with barely suppressed joy, but Zhunti and Jieyin frowned slightly upon hearing it.

He ordered Bai Lian to lead the pharmacist and others to search for the person who was flying bear. What is Bai Lian doing back now?

"Come in."

As soon as their voices fell, the Sumeru Sacred Realm suddenly opened.

Bai Lian was overjoyed and quickly invited the four pharmacists inside, while Shen Gongbao remained outside the Sumeru Sacred Gate for the time being.

"What are you doing back at this time?"

Seeing that Bai Lian, Yao Shi, and the others had all returned, Zhun Ti and Jie Yin frowned slightly.

The pharmacist, unable to contain his joy, quickly said, "Teacher, we brought back a person from outside. He has unusual signs, with the aura of a flying bear behind him. If I'm not mistaken, that person is the flying bear you're looking for."

"The Flying Bear Man??"

Zhunti's eyes widened instantly, and Lianyin's expression changed slightly. "Let him in quickly."

"Yes, teacher."

The pharmacist hurriedly went out and invited Shen Gongbao in.

When Shen Gongbao entered, Zhunti's eyes nearly popped out when he saw the faint, intermittently appearing flying bear phenomenon behind him!

The Flying Bear!

This young man in black was indeed a member of the Flying Bear Clan!

Unexpectedly, the person from Fei Xiong did not end up with the Jie Sect or the Chan Sect, but instead with his Western Sect. He truly has a connection with the West.

"What is your name? Where do you come from? Do you know the name of my Western Religion?"

When Zhunti speaks, his voice trembles.

Shen Gongbao bowed respectfully and replied, "This disciple is named Shen Gongbao. I am a wild leopard from the mountains of the northern wilderness. I happened to hear that a great sect in the Western Holy Land was opening its gates to recruit disciples, so I came here with a try-it-out attitude. Unexpectedly, I was discovered by several immortals on the way and taken directly to Mount Sumeru."

"They're actually demons?"

Zhunti was stunned. He hadn't even realized that Shen Gongbao was a member of the demon race when he first came in.

Could this be a trap?

Zhunti remained vigilant, a faint golden light igniting in his eyes. He scanned Shen Gongbao thoroughly, seeing that Shen Gongbao was indeed of wild leopard blood and unremarkable. He breathed a sigh of relief and gave Jieyin a reassuring look.

In fact, Zhunti felt that he had made a mountain out of a molehill.

This is a person from Feixiong, the future leader of the Investiture of the Gods, and the person who will bestow titles upon all the gods.

Anyone who encounters such a person would eagerly try to recruit them into their own sect; there's no way they would tamper with their belongings and then send them to the Western Church!

No problem, absolutely no problem!

After a moment's thought, Jieyin smiled and said to Shen Gongbao, "Our Western Sect is indeed opening its gates wide to recruit disciples. I wish to take you as my personal disciple. Are you willing?"

When Jieyin spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Personally instructed disciple."

Medicine Buddha, Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, Ksitigarbha felt a chill in his heart.

Even the White Lotus Child secretly sighed, realizing that his master had really gone to great lengths to keep this Flying Bear disciple.

Shen Gongbao was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Disciple Shen Gongbao greets Master and wishes Master a long and blessed life."

"well."

Zhunti and Jieyin couldn't stop smiling, as if they could already see the scene of the Investiture of the Gods over, the disciples of Jiejiao and Chanjiao all being listed, and Shen Gongbao bestowing titles upon the gods.

After seeing Shen Gongbao off, and with the guidance of the four masters—Bhaisajyaguru, Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, and Ksitigarbha—the White Lotus Boy finally revealed the whole story.

Upon learning that there were two people who possessed the Flying Bear, and that one of them had been acquired by the Chan Sect, Zhunti's rosy complexion suddenly turned liver-colored.

"Damn it, there are actually two Flying Bears, and one of them has fallen into the hands of the Chan Sect!"

Zhun Ti was so angry that he started cursing loudly.

On the contrary, Jieyin's expression was calm, and he even showed a different kind of interest. "It may not be a bad thing that another Flying Bear has fallen into the Chan Sect."

"Good news? How so?"

Zhunti looked puzzled. The Western Sect and the Jie Sect had always been at odds, and their relationship with the Chan Sect was also just so-so.

The person from the Chan Sect who obtains the Flying Bear will have the opportunity to preside over the Investiture of the Gods in the future. Why would that be considered a good thing?

He then succinctly explained, "If there is only one person who is the Flying Bear, then the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect are very likely to unite against my Western Sect. At that time, my Western Sect will be unable to withstand the attack alone, and who knows what problems might arise."

"But things are different now. The Chan Sect also has a person named Fei Xiong. Our two sects can cooperate to target the Jie Sect. No matter what, let's bring down the Jie Sect first before we talk about anything else."

Although Jieyin didn't say it aloud, he was also very wary of the power of the Jie Sect.

With all the immortals paying homage and the sage's lineage being paramount, this is already the case. If it continues for several more eons, will the Chan Sect and the Western Sect still have any place to survive?

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Senior brother is right! I'll contact Yuanshi Tianzun right now and see what he thinks."
