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

Chapter 280 The Invincible Treasure Trove: Taiyi in a sorry state

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run, right? Daoist Duobao is a second-generation direct descendant of the great sect of the Sages, the Jie Sect, a true master of supernatural powers, someone Li Jing had to look up to throughout his life.

With such a major undertaking, and the offer to take his own son as an apprentice, how could he possibly refuse?

With Duobao officially accepting Nezha as his disciple, the red thread of master-disciple relationship between Taiyi Zhenren and Nezha was suddenly severed.

At this moment, Daoist Duobao seemed to sense something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"General, someone is coming. I need to take cover for now."

After saying that, he transformed and disappeared with the little Nezha in the wooden basin.

Above Chentang Pass, Taiyi Zhenren nearly spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly rushed into the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion.

Before Li Jing could react to what Daoist Duobao had said, he saw a Daoist suddenly appear in the inner courtyard, and his brows furrowed slightly!

The inner courtyard was where the family members and maids lived. This Taoist priest's intrusion was extremely rude.

"Who are you, fellow Daoist? How dare you be so rude?"

Li Jing's face was full of hostility.

Taiyi Zhenren cupped his hands in apology and said with a wry smile.

"I am Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun Mountain, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun of Kunlun Mountain. I have come in haste and have caused some trouble. Please forgive me, General."

"Oh? So you are a celestial being from Kunlun Mountain. Li Jing has failed to greet you properly."

Upon hearing that he was a celestial being from the Chan Sect, Li Jing's attitude changed considerably.

But in his heart, he secretly compared the immortals of the Jie Sect, whose every word and action exuded generosity and the demeanor of a sage.

However, the immortal from the Chan Sect behaved rudely and flew directly into the inner courtyard in broad daylight.

The difference in skill between the disciples of the two religions was immediately apparent.

At this moment, Master Taiyi looked around anxiously and was stunned to see that the aura of his chosen disciple had completely disappeared.

He could only bite the bullet and ask, "General, may I ask when your wife gave birth, and where is the child now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing's expression darkened further. "Why is the Immortal Taiyi asking this?"

Master Taiyi hurriedly said, "I cultivate in the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain. I did some calculations and found that I have a master-disciple relationship with the General's son, so I have come to take him as my disciple."

Li Jing showed an apologetic expression, "Immortal Taiyi, to be honest, my son already has a master."

"What? You have a master? Who?"

Taiyi Zhenren was almost speechless with astonishment, according to his calculations.

It has been no more than half an hour since Li Jing's son was born.

It's simply unbelievable that someone would take him as an apprentice in such a short time.

Aside from premeditation and arriving at the general's mansion ahead of time to wait, it could also mean that Li Jing was deceiving him.

Li Jing wouldn't lie, so he said directly and truthfully, "It's the Qing Jie Sect on Jin'ao Island, Immortal Duobao."

"What, Duobao?"

Taiyi Zhenren felt a sudden wave of dizziness!

It's the Jie Sect again!

Back in Guanjiangkou, they snatched away Senior Brother Yuding's chosen disciple, and now they're trying to snatch him away again.

"Where is Duobao? Call him out here. I want to ask him directly and get to the bottom of this."

Taiyi's face showed anger. A large part of the reason why the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun accepted disciples was to have the disciples of their sect undergo tribulations in their place. Today, Taiyi was determined to have this disciple.

"Oh, Junior Brother Taiyi, I heard you were looking for me?"

In mid-air, ripples spread across the solid space. Daoist Duobao, accompanied by Nezha, slowly walked out and looked down at Master Yuding with a calm and collected expression.

"Duobao!"

Taiyi Zhenren's face was gloomy. "Why did you take away my opportunity? I have a master-disciple relationship with the son of General Li Jing. Quickly return the general's son to me."

As they spoke, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover appeared behind Taiyi, with nine fire dragons roaring and the intense heat spreading, constantly distorting and changing the space!

"To steal your opportunity?"

Duobao sneered, directly piercing the veil of pretense on Taiyi's face, "You want to take General Li's son as your disciple, isn't it just so that when the great calamity begins, your disciple can take your place and avoid this mortal worldly tribulation!"

"Is your opportunity to have someone else's child die in your place?"

Duobao showed no mercy, each word like a heavy hammer blow, leaving Taiyi's face pale!

"Master Taiyi, is what Immortal Duobao said true?"

Li Jing's entire demeanor suddenly changed. He drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at Taiyi Zhenren, his face turning icy cold.

The murderous aura he had accumulated while serving as the general at Chentang Pass surged forth like a tidal wave.

Master Taiyi quickly shook his head, "General, don't listen to Duobao's nonsense. A teacher for a day is a father for life. How could I harm my own child like that?"

Duobao chuckled mockingly, "Junior Brother Taiyi, how do you explain the mortal tribulation hanging over your head?"

Taiyi Zhenren's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly looked up and saw that, without him noticing, wisps of red threads were rising from above his head, exuding a chilling aura that seemed ready to erupt at any moment.

Li Jing trembled with rage, pointing at Taiyi Zhenren and shouting, "You're not welcome at the General's residence, get out!"

Taiyi Zhenren's face turned pale with anger. "You, Duobao, have repeatedly ruined my Chan Sect's opportunities. Today, I'll see just how much you're worth."

As Taiyi Zhenren's voice fell, countless millennia of accumulated magical power surged into the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover behind him.

Nine fire dragons roared to the sky and flew fiercely towards Daoist Duobao. Everywhere you looked, in the sky and on the ground, there was nothing but murderous intent.

"General, please take care of Nezha first. I'll go and meet my junior brother."

Duobao tossed Li Nezha to Li Jing and immediately unleashed his powerful magic weapon, the Duobao Pagoda. The pagoda shone with golden light and struck directly at his junior brother who was coming towards him.

"boom!"

In mid-air, the fire dragon and the Pagoda of Many Treasures collided, creating a heat wave that burned away the void. Then, the Pagoda of Many Treasures suddenly flew up, shining brightly, and directly absorbed the fire dragon.

In mid-air, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Multi-Treasure Pagoda clashed back and forth. For the first hundred rounds, the nine fire dragons could barely maintain a balance.

But after a hundred rounds, the nine fire dragons suddenly fell into a disadvantageous position, suppressed by the Pagoda of Many Treasures, and had no power to fight back.

As the Nine Dragons Divine Fire enveloped the area, its light dimmed, and Taiyi Zhenren's expression turned solemn.

Damn!

This Daoist Duobao's cultivation level was at least at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and I, with my early stage Great Luo Golden Immortal strength, was no match for him.

"Junior Brother Taiyi, being distracted during a magical duel is a grave taboo!"

Duobao Daoist's lips curled slightly as his pure magical power surged into Duobao Pagoda, striking Taiyi Zhenren with overwhelming force.

"not good."

Taiyi Zhenren realized something was wrong and quickly activated the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to defend himself.

"boom!"

The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Multi-Treasure Pagoda collided in mid-air, unleashing a tremendous surge of Dao energy. This time, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover could no longer withstand the attack and was sent flying backward, its light dimming.

The Pagoda of Many Treasures crashed down on Taiyi Zhenren with unstoppable force. Taiyi Zhenren's face turned pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He dared not linger any longer, put away the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and transformed into a stream of light to leave.
