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

No wonder Zhao Gongming exploded instantly.

The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was originally a struggle between the Chan and Jie sects. Even if the Chan sect lost, as long as the list of Investiture of the Gods was filled, this great calamity would be over.

Both sides can save face for each other.

However, during the great calamity, the Jie Sect suffered such a devastating defeat that the grand gathering of ten thousand immortals collapsed with a crash.

Not only were nearly half of the direct disciples of the Jie Sect killed or injured, but all the immortals of the Jie Sect were also reduced to ashes.

Among them were three thousand disciples of the Jie Sect, who were forcibly converted to the Western Sect by Zhunti.

Living in a daze is even worse than being on the list, yet they still have the audacity to call themselves "three thousand mortals".

Ultimately.

It means that brothers quarrel, trouble arises from within, and they are plotted against by outsiders in collusion with others.

Those who colluded with outsiders and betrayed their own brothers were naturally the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Supreme Saint!

Because in order to deal with the Tongtian Sect Leader, the Primordial Laozi did not hesitate to join forces with outsiders and promised Zhunti to guide him through karma.

This is why, during the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) declined while the Buddhist sect flourished.

Most of the remaining disciples of the Jie Sect were killed during the eighty-one tribulations, mistaken for demons.

"Since Master Yuanshi has mentioned the brotherhood among the Three Pure Ones!"

Can we swear an oath before Heaven that we will never betray the bond between the Three Pure Ones, so as to avoid this great calamity?

When brothers quarrel, trouble arises from within, and outsiders take advantage of the situation!

"If my master makes a vow, then the karma between me and Daoist Guangchengzi will vanish like the clear sky and the rising sun!"

Zhao Gongming suppressed his anger and spoke with a cold smile.

Don't you always talk about the friendship between the Three Pure Ones?

Then swear it!

Instead of joining forces with outsiders to turn against their own brothers!

As long as you swear an oath, regardless of any karmic connection with Guang Chengzi, I, Zhao Gongming, will have no problem joining the Chan Sect!

Of course, I, Zhao Gongming, will not join the Chan Sect, and you, Yuanshi Tianzun, will not swear an oath.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the expression on Yuanshi Tianzun's face, which had been devoid of sorrow or joy, finally changed.

He looked at Zhao Gongming in front of him, but was not angry. Instead, he was somewhat surprised and suspicious.

What does it mean when brothers quarrel and trouble arises from within?

Could it be that this acting leader of the Jie Sect knows something? Or perhaps his third brother already knows about his plans?

As for swearing an oath to Heaven!

Of course, one cannot swear an oath; otherwise, how would one deal with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in the hands of the Tongtian Sect Leader?

"Release my disciple, and name your conditions. As long as it doesn't involve the very foundation of my Chan Sect, I will agree to anything!"

Yuanshi Tianzun did not respond to Zhao Gongming's words, but calmly spoke.

After Yuanshi finished speaking, the Antarctic Immortal, holding the Pangu Banner, also wanted to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Zhao, my sect leader has never treated anyone like this before. Whatever treasures, spiritual roots, or even body-refining methods you desire, just ask. As long as it doesn't involve the very foundation of my Chan Sect, my sect leader will certainly not refuse!"

The Antarctic Immortal is a Golden Immortal of Fortune and Virtue, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor among the Four Emperors of Heaven, and has a wide circle of friends.

In terms of status, he is detached from all other matters in the Three Realms and Four Religions, as can be seen from his ability to wield the Pangu Banner.

"Since it was Senior Brother Antarctica who spoke up, there should be room for maneuver in this matter!"

Upon hearing the words of the Antarctic Immortal, Zhao Gongming immediately laughed. The Antarctic Immortal was also somewhat flattered by these words.

Although he was a true immortal of good fortune, Zhao Gongming was also a person of great merit. Compared to his good fortune, his merit was still far less.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun felt a little uneasy.

Why is it that my words carry so little weight, while the words of the Antarctic Immortal are so effective?

Do I, a dignified sage of the Heavenly Dao, not need flour?

However, before the Old Man of the South Pole and the Primordial Heavenly Lord could react, Zhao Gongming had already directly stated his conditions.

"Guang Chengzi killed my disciples of the Jie Sect. The cycle of justice is cyclical, and retribution is inevitable!"

In this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, let Guang Chengzi's primordial spirit be listed on the list, one life for another, how about that?

"As long as you allow Guang Chengzi's true spirit to be listed, our karma will naturally be resolved!"

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "If a True Spirit is listed, at least they can be granted the title of True God, but their cultivation will not advance any further."

However, if one's soul is scattered by the heavenly tribulation lightning, not only will their true spirit not be listed, but they will also lose the chance to be reincarnated.

"Master, save me! Master, save me!"

Upon hearing that Zhao Gongming wanted to put his true spirit on the list, Guang Chengzi turned pale and panicked completely, hurriedly asking for help.

For rogue cultivators in the primordial world, being able to fill the Investiture of the Gods list and be conferred the title of a true god is not a bad thing.

However, he is the top disciple of Yuxu, with a bright future ahead of him. If he were to be included in the Investiture of the Gods and his cultivation could not advance even an inch, it would be even more painful than killing him.

Seeing his chief disciple in such a useless state, Yuanshi Tianzun was furious.

However, he forcibly suppressed his anger, stopped talking to Zhao Gongming, and turned to look at Biyou Palace behind Zhao Gongming:

Third brother, I have been here for a long time, but you are avoiding me!

Could it be that you no longer recognize me as your second brother?

If that's the case, I'll leave now. As for Guang Chengzi's matter, consider it his own fault!

Seeing that the Primordial Celestial Venerable had spoken to this extent.

A melodious voice rang out in mid-air, accompanied by a fragrant aroma. A host of immortals, both large and small, were present, and the Tongtian Sect Leader had also appeared.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Gongming sighed inwardly.

His master was excellent in every way. He was proficient in formations, his swordsmanship was fierce and ruthless, and he taught without discrimination, which made him deeply admire him.

However, there is only one thing: he is too soft-hearted and too concerned about brotherhood.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have met such a fate during the Investiture of the Gods.

As expected, the moment the Tongtian Sect Leader appeared, he looked at Zhao Gongming and said, "Disciple, since Senior Brother Yuanshi has come in person, why don't you step back and let Senior Brother Yuanshi redeem his disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was quite pleased.

His third brother still regarded him as his elder brother.

But soon, he began to appreciate its flavor.

What is a redeeming disciple?

Listen to this, is this something a normal person would say?

Was it because he, the Jade Void Golden Immortal, was incompetent and became a prisoner?

Furthermore, the way the Tongtian Sect Leader addressed him—back in the Kunlun Mountains, the voice of "Second Brother" still echoed in his ears.

When they met again, he wouldn't even address him as "brother" anymore?

For a moment, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable felt a strange unease in his heart.

But soon, remembering that he was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void, he quickly put away these emotions.

Hearing Tongtian Jiaozhu's words, Zhao Gongming understood that his master's feelings for Yuanshi Tianzun were probably almost gone.

This made him secretly pleased. After all, if others were going to collude with outsiders to cheat you, wouldn't it be too foolish of you to still be sentimental?

He was also overly emotional just now, which is why he stubbornly resisted the sage.

Now that he had calmed down, he was also a little scared, after all, Yuan Shi was known for being petty.

It wouldn't be surprising if someone were to turn against you one day and suppress you.

Of course, not wanting to lose face, Zhao Gongming still snorted coldly on the surface, "Since Master has spoken, this disciple dares not disobey!"

However, to settle today's matter, you must agree to two conditions!
