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

"Young lady, it's getting late. Why don't you stay at my house for the night, and then we can discuss the rest?"

Following the old ox's instructions, the cowherd extended an invitation.

The Weaver Girl thought to herself that the Southern Heavenly Gate was closed and she could not return, so she might as well travel around the mortal world to broaden her horizons.

She said, "Then I'll take my leave of you!"

"No disturbance, no disturbance!" the cowherd said repeatedly.

Seeing this, Li Hong, who was hiding in the shadows, also breathed a sigh of relief. This cowherd was also a disciple of the Jie Sect in his previous life. Today, he is looking for a good match, so it is not in vain that they were fellow disciples.

Soon, after the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl left, Li Hong appeared and cleaned up the traces before rushing back.

Before we knew it, several months had passed in the blink of an eye.

The Weaver Girl was also moved by the Cowherd's kindness and sincerity, and the two became engaged.

Three more years passed, and the children of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were already running around everywhere.

On this day, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder roared.

The Weaver Girl knows that her secret descent to the mortal realm has likely been exposed.

If we add the factor of having developed worldly desires, not only himself, but even the Cowherd would likely be implicated.

After comforting the two children, the Weaver Girl took the Cowherd's hand and said, "My husband, our earthly bond is severed!"

I am the daughter of the Great Heavenly Venerable of Heaven. If I do not return to Heaven, my husband may be implicated.

Take good care of our child, and please take good care of yourself!

After speaking, the Weaver Girl glanced at the two children one last time with reluctance, then transformed into a stream of light and headed straight for the Heavenly Court.

Watching the Weaver Girl leave, the Cowherd's face was full of sorrow, a mixture of reluctance and worry.

Just then, the old ox, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Cowherd, my days are numbered!"

Your wife is a celestial fairy; your union will inevitably lead you to suffer hardships.

After I die, you may skin me and keep my hide safe.

"This hide, if you simply wear it, will allow you to traverse the thirty-three heavens, and even reach the Heavenly Court!"

After saying this, the old ox died on the spot, and the cowherd's eyes were filled with tears.

He and the old ox were inseparable and had a deep bond.

Who would have thought that today, Old Niu and his wife would both leave him?

Looking at his two hungry children, the Cowherd immediately made a decision: the children were still young and could not be without their mother.

"Stay put in the basket, Daddy will take you to find your mother!"

Following the old ox's instructions, the Cowherd skinned the ox, picked up his carrying pole, and headed straight for the Heavenly Court.

The cowhide was incredibly effective; in no time, it brought the Cowherd to the South Heavenly Gate.

At this time, the Weaver Girl's affair came to light, and the Heavenly Emperor Yaochi was furious. Seeing that the Cowherd had actually chased her all the way to the Heavenly Court, Yaochi was secretly annoyed but also had some doubts.

This cowherd is just a mortal, yet he has managed to come to this heavenly court. There must be some ulterior motive behind it.

Thinking of this, she did not attack the Cowherd. Instead, she took off her silver hairpin and gently swept it across the sky. A galaxy appeared before the Cowherd.

Blocked by the Milky Way, the Cowherd could only anxiously call out to his wife, helpless.

Meanwhile, the Weaver Girl had already been brought to the Lingxiao Palace, where Haotian sat upright with a livid face.

He established the Heavenly Rules to restrain the gods and immortals, but who would have thought that his own daughter would be the first to break them?

Thinking of this, Haotian roared, "Weaver Girl, you descended to the mortal realm without permission and married a mortal! Immediately escort her to the Execution Platform and execute her!"

The celestial officials exchanged bewildered glances, and Taiyi and the other disciples of the Chan Sect were also somewhat surprised.

Although the Chan Sect had a bad reputation in the Investiture of the Gods, it still took extra care of its own disciples.

You, Haotian, are something else! To uphold your dignity, you even want to execute your own daughter. You are truly "iron-fisted and impartial"!

Upon hearing this, Venus was about to plead for mercy, but before he could speak, dazzling starlight showered down, and the Nine-Dragon Sandalwood Carriage descended into the Lingxiao Palace. Bai Tianjun, the leader of the Four Saints of the North Pole, stood atop the carriage, the Investiture of the Gods slowly unfurling in his hand: "By the mighty decree of the Ziwei Emperor, today I hereby bestow upon the Weaver Girl the title of Weaver Girl Star Lord, the Cowherd the title of Altair Star Lord, and their son the title of Gemini Star!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Investiture of the Gods shone with golden light, and the names of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl slowly appeared on it.

Immediately, Zhao Gongming stepped out of the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot with a half-smile, and said calmly, "Great Celestial Venerable, are you perhaps planning to attack one of my Star Lords?"

Upon hearing this, Haotian's face darkened.

Why did Zhao Gongming choose this moment to bestow titles upon the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, instead of at night or at a time like this? It was clearly an attempt to embarrass him.

He said in an unfriendly tone, "Isn't Emperor Ziwei's action a bit too much?"

Zhao Gongming feigned confusion and asked, "Passed? Where did you pass?"

Shouldering the entrustment of the Dao Ancestor, and seeing that the Investiture of the Gods list was not yet complete, he bestowed the title of Star Lord. What is wrong with this action?

Or perhaps the Great Celestial Venerable felt that the Dao Ancestor's words were unreasonable. In that case, let us now proclaim to the Dao Ancestor that the important task of bestowing titles upon the True Gods should be entrusted to someone else!

Haotian was taken aback. He hadn't thought anything of it when Zhao Gongming had spoken to him kindly before.

Now that tensions are high, he realized how troublesome Zhao Gongming was. No wonder even the Sage couldn't gain any advantage in his hands.

Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Since the Emperor has bestowed the title of Righteous God, I naturally have nothing to say."

But now that the Weaver Girl has violated the heavenly rules, the Emperor wants to bestow upon her the title of Star Lord. Could it be that he intends to protect the Weaver Girl?

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Zhinu glanced at him coldly; this Great Celestial Venerable was nominally her father.

But after bringing her to the Heavenly Court, they ignored her completely, and now they even intend to execute her.

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Zhao Gongming countered with a question: "May I ask the Great Heavenly Venerable, which Heavenly Law has the Weaver Girl violated?"

If you were to meet with mortals in secret, you would be violating the Heavenly Laws. How many times have you, Great Celestial Venerable, reincarnated and how many Daoist partners have you formed? Wouldn't that be even more of a violation of the Heavenly Laws?

Or is it that the Great Celestial Venerable's heavenly laws only apply to those below him, not to himself?

In that case, there's no need to obey these damned heavenly rules!

Seeing Zhao Gongming tear the dough, Haotian flew into a rage: "Zhao Gongming, how dare you!"

"You've gone too far! What are you going to do about it?"

Zhao Gongming countered sharply, his aura no less imposing than Haotian's.

It's just a fight, isn't it?

I, Old Zhao, have even beaten up saints, so why would I be afraid of some great celestial being like you?

Upon seeing this, Haotian was so enraged that he lost his mind and roared, "Since Emperor Ziwei has disregarded the Heavenly Rules!"

Such a provocation against the majesty!

"Then let's have a showdown first, and then we'll discuss it further."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming fell silent. With a thought, the Four Swords of Zhuxian unleashed an astonishing killing aura and hovered above the Lingxiao Palace.

"Fine!"

Previously, I had placed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation on Mount Sumeru, but I hadn't put my heart into it!

"Since you, Great Celestial Venerable, are so interested, today I shall see how your Lingxiao Palace compares to the Great Hero Palace of Buddhism!"
