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

Zhao Gongming was about to speak.

Lu Ya, standing to the side, spoke first: "Your Majesty, my Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife has already been dropped by Fellow Daoist Zhao, so it belongs to him!"

Zhao Gongming chuckled after hearing this, but said nothing more, only looking at the Goddess Nuwa.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Goddess Nuwa glared at Lu Ya and thought to herself, "If you hadn't mentioned this, Zhao Gongming probably wouldn't have made things too difficult for you, out of respect for me."

Now that you've brought that up, even I, the Emperor, cannot plead for you.

Fine!

"Since you've been so clever, I'll teach you a lesson so you won't cause me any more trouble in the future!"

After being glared at fiercely by the Goddess Nuwa, Lu Ya came to his senses and immediately realized that something was wrong.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife can fix a person's primordial spirit. In terms of its insidiousness, it is no less than the Seven Arrows of Nailhead. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could fall victim to its poison if he is not careful.

It would have been bad enough if you used the Seven Arrows of Nailhead to curse and kill Zhao Gongming, but you even used the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife to secretly harm him.

He brought this up himself.

Zhao Gongming will not let this go; he will likely make a big fuss about it and won't stop until he is filled with regret!

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhao Gongming spoke:

"Your Majesty, please be wise! Lu Ya first used sorcery to harm this humble Taoist priest, and then used such a vicious treasure as the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!"

Since these are two separate causes and effects, it is only reasonable for the disciple to request two treasures from him!

First, regarding the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, the disciple only obtained half of it; the other half of the gourd is still in Lu Ya's hands!

Secondly, this disciple desires the Fusang Divine Tree!

Zhao Gongming got straight to the point. The complete Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife includes both the flying knife and the gourd. He used the Treasure-Falling Coin to simply drop the flying knife.

Without the nurturing and nourishment of the gourd, the flying knife formed from the essence of the great witch would quickly wither away.

As for the Fusang Divine Tree, it is a top-grade innate spiritual root that matures once every three thousand years, producing six thousand Fire Mulberry Fruits each time.

It is of great benefit to one's physical cultivation.

"this......"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya's face turned ashen.

To others, the Fusang Divine Tree might just be a top-tier innate spiritual root.

However, for the Golden Crow clan, this item has an even more important function.

That is, the Golden Crow clan resides on it, and their cultivation speed can be significantly improved.

As the Golden Crow Prince, burdened with karmic debts, he was still able to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. The Fusang Divine Tree deserves immense credit for this.

In contrast, Huanglong, the son of the Ancestral Dragon, who is also burdened with karma, has only just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

If I were to hand over this sacred Fusang tree, my path to enlightenment would be shrouded in gloom.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya looked at Nuwa expectantly and whispered, "Your Majesty..."

When Goddess Nuwa saw what Zhao Gongming was asking for, she frowned slightly.

She naturally knew the importance of the Fusang Divine Tree to this little golden crow.

However, Lu Ya attacked Zhao Gongming twice, and each time it was a killing move. If it were any other Great Luo Golden Immortal, they would probably have perished and been listed on the list long ago.

Once someone fills the list of gods and follows the path of incense and deities, their cultivation will stagnate or progress extremely slowly, and their path will be cut off.

This is why the four sages, when signing the Investiture of the Gods, were unwilling to fill in the names of their own disciples.

You, Lu Ya, twice tried to kill Zhao Gongming, cutting off his path.

Right now, Zhao Gongming's demand for the Fusang Divine Tree is all within the bounds of fate.

Thinking of this, Nuwa relaxed her brows and sighed softly, saying, "Very well, Lu Ya, give the gourd and the Fusang Divine Tree to Zhao Gongming together!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya could only pitifully take out the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the Fusang Tree, and hand them over to Zhao Gongming.

After carefully putting away the treasure, Zhao Gongming was in a good mood and said, "Goddess Nuwa, this disciple is willing to settle the karmic debt with Lu Ya!"

However, the matter of my incarnation is of great importance, and I beg Your Majesty to keep it a secret for me!

After speaking, Zhao Gongming looked at Lu Ya beside him with a distrustful expression.

"Rest assured, Primordial Saint, I have no disciples or followers. The great calamity of heaven and earth has nothing to do with me!"

As for Lu Ya, if he dares to leak even the slightest information, or get involved in these matters again...

"You don't need to lift a finger; I'll take care of it myself!"

When Nuwa spoke, her tone was icy, and Lu Ya, who was standing to the side, trembled in fear and immediately made a vow to Heaven.

The conflict between the Chan and Jie schools concerns the sages of both religions. If they are still unaware of the implications, then they have truly lived countless eons in vain.

"In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness, for keeping this a secret for your disciple!"

Zhao Gongming thanked him, and in the blink of an eye, the substitute puppet in the merchant camp turned to ashes.

Nuwa also grabbed the wooden puppet on Mount Qi with a large hand and erased the aura of Zhao Gongming from it.

"Now that this matter is settled, I still have one more favor to ask of you!"

After doing all this, Goddess Nuwa looked at Zhao Gongming and said, "I did take on a disciple before."

She is exceptionally intelligent and pure of heart, but I am currently in seclusion in the Nuwa Palace and do not wish to be tainted by the karma of the primordial world.

Gongming, if you encounter this, please help me out!

This treasure is the Lotus Lantern; I'll give it to you as a token of my gratitude!

After he finished speaking, a spirit lamp, nine feet tall and as white as jade, landed in front of Zhao Gongming.

This is the Lotus Lantern, the foremost of the Four Divine Lamps of the Primordial Era. It possesses immense power, but only those with the deepest emotions and purest nature can activate it.

The disciple mentioned by the Goddess Nuwa was none other than the famous Third Holy Mother Yang Chan, who was Yang Jian's younger sister. She once split the mountain with Yang Jian to save their mother. However, her fate was the same as her mother Yao Ji's. Both of them fell in love with mortals, married Liu Yanchang, gave birth to Liu Chenxiang, and were eventually sealed in Peach Mountain.

Of course, Liu Yanchang's identity is probably not simple either, and he must have some connection with that bald monk from the Western religion.

"Very well, leave this to me!"

While Zhao Gongming pondered, his hands moved swiftly, putting away the Lotus Lantern.

As for taking care of Yang Chan, it was just a matter of convenience.

"Alright, this matter is settled. You may all return now, Zhao Gongming. I will not forget what I promised you!"

Hearing Nuwa's words, Zhao Gongming was also delighted, as long as the Goddess Nuwa hadn't forgotten.

It seems that not including Lu Ya in the Investiture of the Gods list this time was a bit of a loss.

But only Zhao Gongming knew that he had made a fortune this time.

It's even more profitable than simply adding it to the list.

While it may seem like Lu Ya didn't lose out by saving the bird's life, I, Zhao, actually made a huge profit.

Putting aside the winning streak rewards, the favor bestowed by the goddess Nuwa is more precious than any treasure.

In a critical moment, it can really be used to save your life.

The Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the Fusang Divine Tree are equally valuable, and they also conveniently severed Lu Ya's path to immortality.

After leaving Nuwa Palace, Lu Ya snorted coldly, wanting to utter a few more harsh words, but when Zhao Gongming looked over, he swallowed his words, transformed into a rainbow of light, and headed straight for the Sun Star.

He had originally intended to descend the mountain to seek some good fortune and merit, but his path was cut off, resulting in a complete loss.

He will not step out of the Sun Star again until the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods ends.

Zhao Gongming watched Lu Ya's retreating figure with a smile, but in his heart, he had already begun to think about his next plan.

Having resolved his two karmic debts in this great calamity, it is now time for the Western Sect to take the stage.

However, I haven't maxed out my winning streak bounty card yet, and I haven't gotten the bounty chest either.

After thinking it over, Lu Ya had already disappeared.

Zhao Gongming shook his head, and with a swift movement, headed straight for the merchant camp.
