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

Chapter 521 The Thoughts of the Great Luo Empress Who Attained the Dao

"Six-winged Golden Cicada, we've been at odds since ancient times. Now, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit. Tell me what you intend to do with me."

The Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion stared coldly at Jiang Liuer. Although he was uneasy, there was no fear on his face.

Jiang Liuer's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile. "The winner is king, the loser is a bandit. You're right about that. Since you're so pragmatic, I'll give you two choices."

"What choice?"

The Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion's voice remained as cold as ice.

"First, die. Second, swear an oath to Heaven, promising never to do evil again and to stay in this formation for ten thousand years. Then I will spare your life."

Jiang Liuer's voice was very calm, but anyone could hear the determination in his words.

Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion's pupils contracted as he stared at Jiang Liuer. In ancient times, although he and Jiang Liuer were both among the Five Ancient Insects, to be honest, the relationship between the Five Insects was not only bad, but also extremely hostile, with each thinking about devouring the other all day long.

In any case, in ancient times, the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion fought with the Six-Winged Golden Cicada quite a bit. Although it never won, the relationship between them was one of deep-seated hatred.

Now that the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion has fallen into Jiang Liuer's hands, everyone thought it was all over. But unexpectedly, there is still a glimmer of hope!

The Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion hesitated for only a moment before blurting out, "I choose the second one."

"Then let us swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuer breathed a sigh of relief. He naturally had no good feelings towards the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion, and the bond between them as one of the Five Ancient Insects was clearly not a reason for him to let the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion go.

Ultimately, there's only one reason: the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion is just too difficult to kill!

As an ancient and exotic species, it is inherently resilient. Coupled with its late-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation, it would take at least a hundred years to completely slay the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion and extinguish its life force. With the journey to the West imminent, a hundred years is far too long.

Therefore, the only option is imprisonment, ten thousand years of imprisonment, plus a sliver of hope under the oath of Heaven, which will actually make the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion stay here obediently.

After witnessing the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion make a vow to Heaven, Sun Wukong suddenly waved his hand, and the golden array began to spin rapidly. In just a few breaths, a golden mountain formed by the array rose from the ground, trapping the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion firmly within it.

After doing all this, Sun Wukong added an illusion, so that even if someone passed by the mountain that suppressed the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion, they would see it as nothing.

After doing all this, Jiang Liuer and Sun Wukong moved into the Taoist temple where the True Immortal Ruyi had previously been, and began to wait quietly for the little black dragon to break through.

It must be said that Ruyi Zhenxian knew how to enjoy life. Juxian Temple was not large in area, but it was like a sparrow, complete in every way. Jiang Liuer and Sun Wukong naturally did not hold back and enjoyed themselves to their heart's content.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the palace, Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie slowly opened their eyes, and a deep light flashed by.

"Old Sha, what do you think?"

Pigsy gave Sandy a push.

"How else can we look at it? In this great calamity, we are all just pawns. Pawns have no right to look."

Sha Wujing opened his eyes for only a moment before closing them again.

"Don't you want to go and see where Senior Brother and Master went?"

Zhu Ganglie's voice rang out again.

"No, Senior Brother and Master will always come back. Why are we worrying about it?"

Sha Wujing turned over and fell into a deep sleep. To be honest, he couldn't even remember the last time he was this relaxed.

"In the midst of great calamity, everyone is a pawn, but are pawns destined to always be pawns?"

Pigsy cried out in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to act, so he shook his head and fell into a deep sleep.

Time flies like water. In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. At Jieyang Mountain, Po'er Cave, and beside the Abortion Spring, a powerful and heavy pressure from the Great Luo, which had been waiting for a long time, finally rose!

The next moment, a high-pitched dragon roar resounded in mid-air. The little black dragon stretched its body to the limit, and a black dragon body that was ten thousand feet long coiled in mid-air. Its scales shone brightly, and it seemed that every inch of its body was covered by the Great Luo Immortal Light, bursting out with incomparably brilliant light.

"I have finally attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

The little black dragon kept shouting in its heart, and its excited dragon body even trembled slightly. It circled in mid-air for a long time before landing.

Once one breaks through to the Great Luo Immortal realm, one's fate is in one's own hands, not in the hands of Heaven. As a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one comprehends the power of the laws, and with the laws bestowed upon one's body, one's primordial spirit becomes immortal, already possessing a trace of the charm of freedom and eternal ease.

This is not merely an elevation of one's spiritual realm; it can even be described as another advancement in the essence of life itself.

"Master, Monkey King, the Yin-Yang origin is so profound. In the past, when I tried to comprehend the laws, I always felt they were obscure and difficult to grasp. But this time, comprehending them is as simple as eating and drinking."

The little black dragon was extremely excited. With this source, what other treasures did it need? They were all trash!

Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction, calculating the time. "It only took a little over a month, not bad. Keep up the good work, and you'll catch up with my senior brother."

The little black dragon's face immediately fell. Only he knew how monstrous Sun Wukong was. Not to mention that he had now attained the Great Luo Dao, even if he immediately attained the Quasi-Saint Dao, he would still be no match for Sun Wukong.

The little black dragon quickly changed the subject, looking at the empty space beside him, and asked, "Master, Senior Brother, where are the True Immortal Ruyi and the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion?"

"The True Immortal Ruyi released it long ago. As for the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion, well, it's meditating in the Golden Mountain."

Sun Wukong waved his hand and pointed to the illusion not far away.

The little black dragon suddenly realized what was happening and said with some regret, "It's a pity we let that Ruyi True Immortal go. I wanted to teach him a good lesson."

The little black dragon successfully broke through and became a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Jiang Liuer and Sun Wukong did not linger at Jieyang Mountain and returned directly to the imperial city.

In the imperial city, Jiang Liuer and his group were summoned by the Empress again. When she heard that the Imperial Preceptor had been eliminated and that the Abortion Spring on Jieyang Mountain had once again become ownerless, the Empress finally showed a long-lost smile.

"The elders are all highly capable individuals. They have now resolved a major threat for our Western Liang Women's Kingdom, making unparalleled contributions. If there is anything you desire, just say it, and we will grant it without hesitation."

The Empress of Western Liang's gentle gaze seemed to fall on Jiang Liuer, causing Jiang Liuer's heart to stir slightly and tremble as well.

"We come from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, on our way to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. We passed through the Kingdom of Women along the way and were warmly received by the Queen. It is only natural that we would like to help the Queen solve her problems. We have nothing to ask for."

A hint of regret flashed across the Empress's face, and she ordered everyone except Jiang Liuer to step down.

Sun Wukong immediately gave a strange smile. "Master, then we'll head down first."

Having read so many classic texts in the Five Finger Mountain, Sun Wukong had vaguely sensed that Jiang Liuer, his master, had encountered an extremely rare tribulation of love.
