Primordial Era: The Ten Deadly Formations are Broken, Shen Gongbao Asks Me to Come Out of the Mounta

"Fellow Daoist Gongming, that Jiang Shang is going too far! Many of the fellow Daoists invited by Grand Tutor Wen have already died at his hands!"

"Not only that, Jiang Shang also spouted nonsense, saying that the Jie Sect was nothing but a bunch of worthless bastards, and even I, a member of the Chan Sect, couldn't stand it!"

"Fellow Daoist Gongming, I have been ordered by Grand Tutor Wen to invite you to come out of seclusion. I hope you will not refuse!"

"Who else but you, my friend, could defeat Jiang Shang?!"

...........

Zhao Gongming was momentarily stunned as he stared at Shen Gongbao, who was speaking eloquently in front of him.

Because at this point, Zhao Gongming was no longer the original Zhao Gongming.

A soul from the modern world transmigrated into Zhao Gongming's body at this crucial juncture.

As the information in his mind gradually calmed down, Zhao Gongming also came to his senses and looked at Shen Gongbao in front of him with a very strange expression.

He actually traveled back to the time of the Investiture of the Gods and became the infamous unlucky Zhao Gongming!

Calling Zhao Gongming an unlucky fellow is not an exaggeration at all.

He was originally a disciple personally taught by a sage, a dignified Golden Immortal, but he believed only one side of the story and threw himself into the great calamity, descending the mountain to help the Shang dynasty attack the Zhou dynasty!

Zhao Gongming, who had just come down the mountain, was naturally very impressive. Not only did he possess supernatural powers and magic, but he also had twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls by his side. He not only beat the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect badly, but he also beat the Quasi-Saint Randeng Daoist badly.

However, his good fortune didn't last long. Who would have thought that he would run into Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao from Wuyi Mountain, two mere rogue cultivators, who possessed a rare treasure like the Falling Treasure Coin, causing his twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to fall away.

To make matters worse, this Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was also taken into the possession of Randeng, and evolved into the Twenty-Four Heavens World.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gongming was targeted by Lu Ya. The dignified Great Luo Golden Immortal was actually cursed to death by the Seven Arrows Book of Nailheads and made onto the list. His death was extremely humiliating!

More importantly, Zhao Gongming, as the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, triggered a series of chain reactions with his death.

Originally, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao Mountain were determined to avoid calamity and stay away from the world. However, they also descended the mountain because of their brother's death, vowing to avenge Zhao Gongming.

When the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao joined forces and set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, their power was even greater than that of their elder brother Zhao Gongming!

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void were powerless to resist and were all captured in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. Their three flowers on their heads were cut off, their five qi in their chests were dispersed, and all their cultivation was lost.

Even Daoist Ran Deng and Daoist Lu Ya were so frightened that they fled in panic, not daring to show their faces.

In the end, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Supreme Saint had no choice but to personally intervene.

As the saying goes, all people are ants under the sage. With the fate of the two Heavenly Sages, even the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, no matter how powerful they are, can only suffer a bitter defeat.

Yunxiao Fairy was captured by the Sage of Taiqing and imprisoned under Qilin Cliff. She was listed after the Investiture of the Gods. Qiongxiao Fairy was struck on the crown of her head by the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi by the Primordial Heavenly Lord and died. Bixiao Fairy was turned into blood by the Primordial Heavenly Lord using the Void Box and died.

Moreover, during the Investiture of the Gods, the divine positions bestowed upon the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao were quite ordinary.

Four of the eight direct disciples of the Tongtian Sect Leader were lost, and half of the top combat power was gone.

By the time the Tongtian Sect Leader could no longer restrain himself and met his end, it was too late to reverse the situation.

And now, Shen Gongbao has actually come to invite him down the mountain!

Thinking of this, Zhao Gongming's gaze toward Shen Gongbao turned somewhat unfriendly.

This guy is a pure god-destroying engine; whoever he calls out to is doomed. His cry of "Fellow Daoist, please wait!" is comparable to a weapon of causality!

Countless fellow cultivators were tricked by Shen Gongbao into going down the mountain, only to end up dying and being listed on the list.

Zhao Gongming was hesitating whether to slap Shen Gongbao to death or at least drive him out.

Just then, an ethereal voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Host detected to have transmigrated to the world of Investiture of the Gods; God-Level Selection System successfully bound!]

Immediately afterwards, a screen of light appeared in front of Zhao Gongming.

[Option 1: Agree to Shen Gongbao's feelings, descend the mountain and fall into a trap, be cursed to death by the Seven Arrows of Nailhead Book, causing the deaths of your three younger sisters. Reward: 1 Peach of Immortality!]

[Option Two: Decisively reject the request and receive the reward: Eight-Nine Arcane Skill!]

[Option 3: Decisively refuse the request, and instead persuade Shen Gongbao to go to the Western Sect and drag them into their schemes. Reward: Supreme Treasure Chest x1!]

Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up immediately.

That's right, I've already transmigrated, how could I not have a system?

Faced with the three choices before him, Zhao Gongming quickly made a decision.

The first option is not even worth considering. Even if the reward is just an ordinary peach, or even if the Queen Mother of the West's entire peach tree were given to me, I would never seek my own death!

The second option did pique Zhao Gongming's interest; the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts were a valuable item!

The number one body-refining method in the primordial world today!

It is said that the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts were created by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable after the Great Calamity of the Lich King, through studying the incomplete Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts left by the Lich King and simplifying and modifying it.

The Wu Clan was once the overlord of the primordial world, unparalleled in the way of physical body refinement, and their Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was hailed as the number one physical refinement technique in the primordial world.

Therefore, even though the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique is just a simplified version of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Technique, it can still be considered a top-tier body-refining method in the primordial world.

Moreover, with the end of the Lich War, the Wu Clan gradually disappeared from the prehistoric land, and even the incomplete version of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique could no longer be found.

It can be said that the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is the strongest body-refining method that can be found in the current prehistoric world!

Although Zhao Gongming was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he was only a Qi-cultivating Great Luo Golden Immortal and was not good at body-refining techniques. Otherwise, he would not have died from Lu Ya's Seven Arrows of Nailhead in the original Investiture of the Gods.

Thinking about this, Zhao Gongming became even more tempted.

Body tempering is actually a bit troublesome. The trouble lies not in the requirements for foundation and comprehension, but in the need for external objects!

Leaving aside the elusive path of physical immortality, even cultivating one's physical body to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal requires terrifying resources.

Even Zhao Gongming today, a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has accumulated many years of experience, cannot produce such a thing.

To put it another way, to cultivate a Body Refinement Grand Luo Golden Immortal from scratch, the rare and precious materials and elixirs required would require even a Quasi-Saint to give up everything, and even a Heavenly Saint would feel sorry for him!

This is because body refinement does not require meditation or qi cultivation; it only requires absorbing energy and tempering the physical body.

However, this results in an extremely large amount of energy required for body refinement. Relying solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would probably take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to make any progress.

However, since body tempering is so difficult, it still attracts countless geniuses. How could it not have its benefits?

The greatest benefit of body tempering is its ability to preserve life, far surpassing that of others of the same level!

Yang Jian in Investiture of the Gods and Sun Wukong in Journey to the West both relied on their powerful physical bodies to overcome numerous tribulations and stand proudly above all the immortals and Buddhas!

If Zhao Gongming could refine his body to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, let alone Lu Ya's Seven Arrows of Nailhead, even if he stood still and let Lu Ya hit him, he would hardly be able to hurt him in the slightest!

Thinking of this, Zhao Gongming almost couldn't help but refuse Shen Gongbao and take the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts!

However, the mysterious Supreme Treasure Chest in the third option made Zhao Gongming hesitate.

What is this thing?
