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

Chapter 387 Ruthless Primordial Styx's Visit

Upon hearing this, Randeng, Cihang, and the other two quickly walked to Zhunti to guide the four people from behind.

Yuan Shi's face turned extremely cold. "Fine, this is the path you chose!"

With a sudden wave of his hand, Yuanshi unleashed his supreme magical power, which manifested as the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and struck at the four of them, intending to kill them on the spot!

Zhunti and Jieyin narrowed their eyes, already on guard, and immediately summoned the Seven Wonders Tree and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the blink of an eye, the three great treasures clashed together.

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, a vast amount of the Daoist essence of sages surged, stirring up countless forces of earth, fire, water, and wind.

Chaos itself trembled, and the chaotic stars swayed and shuddered, as if they might shatter at any moment.

If this attack were to occur in the Three Realms today, it would cause an unimaginable catastrophe.

The three separated immediately after they came together and stood facing each other, with Yuanshi's face grim.

Unexpectedly, this guy Jieyin, who is usually quiet, has suddenly surpassed me in cultivation and is no weaker than me. With Zhunti also involved, it seems that I cannot win today.

Seeing Cihang and the others bowing their heads and standing firmly behind Zhunti and Jieyin, their minds were made up.

Yuanshi sighed, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand and the Pangu Banner on his back suddenly dissipated. He coldly glanced at the four people, including Randeng, before speaking.

"Since you are so determined to devote yourselves to Mahayana Buddhism, I will not stop you. From now on, the four of you will have no further connection with my Chan Sect."

"Snap!"

A thunderclap from a clear sky completely severed the connection between the four disciples and the Chan Sect.

As the thunderclap struck, Yuanshi's figure vanished from sight.

With a sigh of relief, Ran Deng, Cihang, and the others patted their chests and emerged from behind Zhunti and Jieyin, still somewhat shaken.

For a brief moment, they really thought they were going to die!

"Thank you so much, Teacher Sheng, for your help."

Randeng quickly led Cihang and the others to bow and express their gratitude.

With a smile, Jieyin waved his hand and said, "From now on, you are all my Mahayana Buddhist disciples, so there's no need to be so polite."

Zhunti waved his hand, "We're family, why bother with thanks?"

The storm in the Three Realms has subsided. Although no one has witnessed what happened beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, everyone is still very interested.

A direct descendant of the Xuanmen sect, a Kunlun Golden Immortal, betraying Xuanmen to join Buddhism—such a big news story is rare, perhaps only happening once every tens of thousands of years. This will certainly be a topic of conversation in the future.

On Mount Emei, Zhao Gongming couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

"The Chan Sect didn't have many disciples to begin with, and now they've lost four of their top generals. I don't know how heartbroken my senior uncle must be."

Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi exclaimed in unison, "The Chan Sect has always been at odds with our Jie Sect. Now that they have fallen out of favor, this is for the best."

"Exactly! The Chan Sect has always been at odds with our Jie Sect, so they deserve this fate!"

Zhao Gongming shook his head and admonished the two, "The foundation of the sage's lineage is profound, and it cannot be shaken overnight. Just treat what happened today as a bit of fun. You two should focus on your cultivation and prepare to become Hunyuan Golden Immortals."

"Yes, yes, teacher."

Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi nodded eagerly.

Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi also made great contributions during the Investiture of the Gods.

As for the gods conferred titles on the Investiture of the Gods Platform, it was not a case of favoritism. Liu Er was conferred the title of Gouchen Shanggong Tianhuang Dadi, but Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi were not given divine duties.

On the eve of the Investiture of the Gods a thousand years ago, Zhao Gongming also considered bestowing the titles of deity upon the two.

After finding the two, he asked them what divine position they wanted, but they both shook their heads, saying they only wanted to cultivate by his side.

Zhao Gongming had no choice but to agree, and allowed Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi to remain by his side.

Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi are not stupid at all. What's so great about being a god in the Heavenly Court?

There are few benefits, but a lot of trouble. It's better to stay by your own teacher's side, concentrate on comprehending the Dao, and you can expect to reach the Primordial Chaos stage. I wouldn't trade it for an imperial throne.

Indeed, Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi have both attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and reached the 40% comprehension of the power of laws.

Zhao Gongming trained the two with the intention of having them follow the path of Liu Er, attain the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, and lay a solid foundation for their future attainment of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Time flies like an arrow; thousands of years have passed since the four disciples, including Dipankara, joined Mahayana Buddhism.

For the powerful beings of the Three Realms who have experienced countless eons of decline and whose cultivation is at the top level, thousands of years is nothing, not even a hair.

However, in the context of the Four Continents today, which is also the Earthly Immortal Realm, one of the Three Realms, this is already quite a long time.

At Mount Emei and Luofu Cave, Zhao Gongming remains in seclusion.

The laws of space around him transformed into silvery-white light, flowing around him and radiating infinite mystery.

Upon closer inspection, space is him, and he seems to have transformed into space as well.

If the Six Sages were here, they would surely be able to sense that Zhao Gongming's cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

The Primordial Golden Immortals are divided into nine heavens, just like the Primordial Saints.

A sixth-level Primordial Golden Immortal is equivalent to a high-end combat power among saints.

Zhao Gongming estimated that he could now easily subdue Zhunti.

Apart from Taiqing, the other sages should also be hovering around this level.

While Zhao Gongming was diligently cultivating, a streak of blood-red light streaked across the distance from outside Luofu Cave on Mount Emei.

It moved with incredible speed, in the blink of an eye, and landed on Mount Emei in just one or two instants.

The crimson light emanated an eerie and profound aura, instilling a profound and invisible dread in everyone's hearts!

All the mountain spirits and wild monsters living and cultivating near Luofu Cave were instantly awakened!

They covered their eyes in fear, trembling all over, and felt an indescribable aura emanating from that blood-red figure!

When did such a great demon arrive at Mount Emei?

The Styx River had only been there for two or three breaths when two white-clad figures flashed past the Luofu Cave and blocked its path.

"Who goes there, daring to trespass on Mount Emei!"

"Chen Jiugong," Yao Shaosi raised an eyebrow and rebuked.

Mount Emei is now a true sacred site, revered and worshipped by billions of living beings throughout the primordial world.

The crimson light transformed into the appearance of the Styx Ancestor, emanating a familiar aura.

"You two little rascals, don't you recognize me?"

Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Styx, it's you!"

I am still familiar with Styx Ancestor, Chen Jiugong, and Yao Shaosi.

At the edge of the Blood Sea lies the underworld's stronghold, the Eighteenth Netherworld Sea.

Mosquito Taoist is the undisputed Emperor of Fengdu and a subordinate of Zhao Gongming. So, when Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi had nothing to do, they often went to the underworld to have a good drink with Mosquito Taoist. Naturally, they were also quite familiar with the Blood Sea and the Styx River.

Styx waved his hand and said, "I've come to find your teacher."

Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi said, "Please allow us to go to the palace to inform them."

Chen Jiugong stayed behind, while Yao Shaosi went into the palace to report.

A moment later, Yao Shaosi came out of the hall and said to the Styx River, "Teacher invites you in."

"This is troublesome."

Styx cupped his hands in greeting to the two and strode toward Luofu Cave.
