Primordial Era: I, the Creation Lotus, will absolutely not be struck this time!

Chapter 74 Tongtian: After several eras of absence, Yuanshi, you've really fallen behind.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment."

A deep, ancient sound echoed from Antarctica, accompanied by the dissipation of golden light.

The figure of the Primordial One was revealed.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Duobao's heart tightened, and he quickly reminded Guiling and the other two to bow down.

"Duobao greets his senior!"

Duobao lowered his head, his eyes gleaming.

His experience now far surpasses what he had when he was in the Kunlun Mountains.

I've long known that Yuan Shi's temper is not one to be trifled with.

When Yuanshi kicked him off Kunlun Mountain that year, Duobao truly felt the malice from the bottom of his heart.

If they catch up now, it probably won't be good.

Yuanshi stood on auspicious clouds, his brows slightly furrowed.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt annoyed by these creatures with fur and scales in front of me.

Thinking back to how he had been careless and chased it away, only to have it catch up again, he felt humiliated, but for the sake of the spirit treasure, he endured it.

"You're the transformed Multitreasure Rat?"

Yuanshi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Duobao.

"In reply to your question, senior, I am indeed the transformed form of the Treasure Rat."

Yuanshi nodded slightly, and the auspicious clouds beneath his feet stirred gently. "Then come on up."

"My temple is in dire need of a sweeping boy, and I think you are very suitable."

After saying that, Yuanshi turned around directly.

It seemed like a matter of course; in Yuanshi's mind, Duobao should bow down and pay his respects, then present the apprenticeship gift.

The three of them immediately looked at Duobao.

It was Duobao who suggested going to the center of the primordial wilderness, and now Duobao is leaving?

It must be said that this senior in front of me is indeed highly skilled. Even though he wasn't accepted as a disciple, becoming a cleaning servant is still a very good thing.

But this senior doesn't seem to have any intention of taking the three of them in.

"Duobao, are you leaving?"

Gui Ling was the first to travel with Duo Bao, so naturally he was the most reluctant to part with him.

Ignoring the oppressive aura emanating from the Primordial Lord, he hurriedly asked a question.

Duobao gave Guiling and the others a reassuring look, his mind racing.

Knowing what kind of person Yuanshi was, he was unwilling to live under someone like Yuanshi.

And since you drove him away in the first place, why did you chase after him again?

There must be something he doesn't understand.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Duobao. From now on, we are fellow disciples."

At this moment, the Antarctic Immortal spoke with a smile.

Duobao was suddenly jolted.

He got it.

He Duobao was a prominent figure among the newly awakened beings in Kunlun Mountain back then.

He was wealthy, and countless creatures coveted his wealth. It was only because he knew how to hide it that he escaped being harmed.

Now, upon hearing the words of the Antarctic Immortal, they immediately understood the cause and effect.

He immediately bowed to Yuan Shi again.

"Replying to Senior, Duobao is reluctant to part with his three younger sisters."

Yuanshi, who was waiting with his back turned for Duobao to present the apprenticeship ceremony, immediately frowned.

"Nonsense!"

Yuanshi turned around and rebuked, "Does my Kunlun Mountain Daoist temple accept just anyone?"

These words made the hearts of the three, especially Wudang and Jinling, sink.

Yuan Shi made almost no attempt to conceal his malice towards them.

They immediately realized that this senior was not the kind of highly respected innate deity they had imagined.

I couldn't help but feel sad. Were they really that unworthy of being presented?

Do the elders at the center of the primordial world also think of them this way?

Yuanshi's rebuke almost shattered the three's unwavering pursuit of the Dao.

Yuanshi noticed the three people whose faces were deathly pale, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong. Instead, he proudly puffed out his chest.

"I am the embodiment of Pangu's primordial spirit, a top-tier figure in the primordial world. Their figures are not worthy of being my disciples."

After saying this, seeing that the faces of the three Guilings had turned even paler, Yuanshi couldn't help but raise his chin smugly.

Revealing his background would scare you to death; that's the kind of status he deserves.

Nuwa and her group were an uncivilized bunch, impossible to communicate with, which was an accident.

"It doesn't match my feet————"

Wu Dang and Jin Ling shed tears of blood; their hearts were the most steadfast in their pursuit of the Dao.

Wu Dang, in particular, figured out a simple outfit and a whisk from what he saw and heard along the way.

At this moment, Yuanshi's comment that their feet were not a good match broke his heart.

When Gui Ling saw Wu Dang and Jin Ling, his originally sad mood was suddenly filled with anger.

She has always been impulsive and has a lively temper.

He immediately ignored Yuanshi and stepped forward to help the two who were bowing.

"My two elder sisters, don't bow to him; he doesn't deserve it!"

"What?" Wu Dang and Jin Ling were horrified.

"Turtle Spirit, don't talk nonsense." Wu Dang and Jin Ling tried to stop them, but it was too late.

Gui Ling straightened up and glared angrily at Yuan Shi.

"Senior, we cannot choose our origins, but since the primordial world nurtured us, we are not useless. Since you look down on us, then we will leave."

At this point, Guiling turned to look at Duobao.

"Duobao, give me one answer: come with us or stay?"

Duobao also looked at Yuanshi without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, senior, but my three younger sisters can't do without me. I can't agree to that."

Gui Ling's face lit up with joy.

"Okay, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. Let's go."

The four of them didn't look at Yuanshi again before continuing their journey.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure swept over them, and the four of them immediately found themselves unable to move.

Yuanshi's face was already ashen, and his gaze toward Guiling was filled with pure killing intent.

But he couldn't. In the primordial world, people always talked about the importance of food and drink. This time, he brought along the newly accepted disciple, the Antarctic Immortal.

If he were to attack Gui Ling regardless of his status, it would be fine if no one saw it, but now it would affect his image among the disciples.

"Everyone has their own destiny, and their destiny is not here."

Yuan Shi suppressed his anger and offered a brief explanation.

He hadn't expected that Duobao would refuse to go with him.

Is this revenge for driving him away back then?

"How dare you hold a grudge?" Yuan Shi looked at Duo Bao with cold indifference. "We'll talk about it after you've joined the sect."

With a flick of his finger, Duobao appeared, and an auspicious cloud appeared beneath Duobao's feet.

"Alright, stop arguing and come back to Kunlun with me."

Yuanshi planned to forcibly take Duobao away.

Duobao was also shocked; this senior was truly shameless.

"Senior, I can't leave—"

Before Duobao could finish speaking, Yuanshi sealed his mouth.

"Let's go, we can talk about it when we get back."

Yuan Shi smirked. In any case, he had the Multi-Treasure Rat in his hands.

The three, including Guiling, remained motionless and could only curse Yuanshi in their hearts.

Just then, a wave of malevolent energy suddenly swept in from afar.

Yuan Shi's expression changed.

"Hahaha~ Looks like I made it in time."

Immediately following was a hearty laugh.

Clang clang clang~~~

Four streaks of light flashed across the sky, revealing themselves to be four swords radiating a chilling gleam.

They were distributed in four directions, and then another array of images descended from the sky.

The oppressive aura emanating from Yuanshi dissipated inch by inch like an avalanche.

Duobao and his companions felt all the pressure disappear and regained their ability to move.

Duobao immediately escaped from the auspicious cloud and protected Guiling and the other two.

Yuanshi's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he trembled with anger, yet he could not hide his fear.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"

How could he not recognize it? Tongtian had used this sword formation at Buzhou Mountain before.

Tongtian, dressed in purple with a water and fire gourd at his waist, exuded elegance with his graceful steps, and his youthful appearance was truly eye-catching.

The four members of Duobao Guiling stared intently at Tongtian.

Even Wu Dang and Jin Ling clutched their chests.

Although it was their first time meeting, they felt a great sense of kinship with Tongtian.

Moreover, Tongtian appears to be far more powerful than Yuanshi in every aspect.

"Master, this is the senior I've been looking for. I must become his disciple!"

The four of them simultaneously had the same thought.

"O Primordial Beginning, oh Primordial Beginning, how could you have become so despicable after all these years?"

Tongtian's tone was full of teasing and sarcasm.
