Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

Jiepai Pass.

A man wearing a towering crown and gleaming gold armor rode a black tiger, his round eyes glaring, his thick black beard pounding his chest, exuding a fierce and imposing aura. He held a black and gold mace in his hand and blocked the Zhou army's path.

Lu Er, who had not yet left, looked grave and whispered, "Junior Sister, be careful."

Before Longji could speak, Yuding sighed, "Junior brother, why did you come here?"

"We have no choice but to come!" Zhao Gongming shook his head, his gaze sweeping curiously over the faces of the people from the Heavenly Court.

Nanji Zi said in a deep voice, "Junior brother, you have already attained the quasi-sainthood, and your uncle has already written you into the Investiture of the Gods. There is no need for you to wade through this flood."

Even among the three quasi-saints with great supernatural powers here, there are only three from the Chan Sect. There isn't even one from the Western Sect. But the princesses and princes of the Heavenly Court won't take you seriously.

If you break any taboos, people might make things difficult for you later!

Do you really think that making the list means you'll be worry-free?

Bo Huang frowned: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you want to experience our skills without setting up an array?"

"How dare I, a humble Taoist priest?" Zhao Gongming shook his head. The Golden Crow Prince's Ten Directions Annihilation Formation was enough to contend with him, not to mention that he also had a supreme innate treasure in hand, and the other side also had three quasi-saints with great supernatural powers.

"I have come here to borrow the Treasure-Dropping Coin for a look."

"Insolence!" Bo Huang snapped. "Do you know what you're saying?"

Nanji Ziyu and the others' expressions changed drastically, while Maitreya also had a look of anticipation.

The Treasure-Dropping Coin is a magical treasure in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor. Although he has not used it many times, he has made great contributions every time. Moreover, they recently witnessed the power of this magical treasure once again.

It has probably been taken back to the Heavenly Court by Kong Xuan by now, and even the Merit Merchant Guild uses this item to suppress its fortune.

Zhao Gongming is truly spouting wild words!

Longji sneered, "I thought that the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect would at least know some manners, but I didn't expect him to be so bold."

Seeing the cold glint in Long Ji's eyes, Nanji Zi quickly interjected, "Princess, Junior Brother Gongming didn't mean that!"

"Fellow Daoist of the Antarctic, if I were to ask to borrow the Pangu Banner of the Primordial Sage for a look, what would you say?" Longji turned his head and said with a half-smile.

Nanji Zi smiled awkwardly. Although his master would take out the item, Princess Longji would have to come to Kunlun in person to borrow it.

"Fellow Daoist, since you say so, we brothers have no choice but to capture you first and then send you to the Heavenly Court for Father Emperor to decide your fate!" Bo Huang's body ignited with the True Fire of the Sun, and the heat wave forced the surrounding immortals and gods to retreat continuously.

Zhao Gongming panicked and said, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant!"

He unfolded his auspicious cloud, and a stream of light descended, transforming into a ten-zhang-sized bonsai. The bottom of the bonsai seemed to be cast in gold, inlaid with various precious stones and jade. Growing in the bonsai was a spiritual root with its entire body intertwined with gold and emerald. Its main trunk was as vigorous as jade, and its branches stretched out in all directions, branching out in layers. Instead of ordinary flowers and leaves, it was covered with golden leaves.

As the golden leaves fall, they transform into ingots, broken silver, pearls, and jade, as well as various magical stones. Strangely enough, even merit coins are formed.

The surrounding innate spiritual energy continued to gather, and golden leaves continued to grow on the spiritual root. Bo Huang's gaze sharpened. It seemed to be a spiritual root, or a spiritual treasure, but it exuded the aura of a top-grade innate being.

He exhaled a mouthful of true solar fire, and when it came into contact with the object, it shone with dazzling golden light. Soon, a piece of solar crystal appeared in the basin. Although it was only the size of a grain of rice, it still caused Bo Huang's pupils to shrink sharply.

He could sense that the moment the true fire of the sun fell on that spiritual root, it lost contact with him.

"Is this... a money tree?" Longji asked hesitantly.

"The princess indeed knows about this item." Zhao Gongming was overjoyed. "Is this a spiritual treasure, or perhaps a spiritual root, that I found by chance?"

"It was because of this item that my luck increased greatly, and I was able to break through by severing my corpse. Although this item can condense various divine objects, I have no use for them. I also have merit coins, but they are far too few."

A look of surprise flashed in Nanji Zi's eyes, while greed flickered in Maitreya's eyes. A divine object that can condense merit coins!

"Fellow Daoist, do you mean that this thing can actually condense into a divine object using only innate spiritual energy?"

"That's right." Zhao Gongming nodded quickly.

Bo Huang pointed to the money tree and said, "That poor Taoist's sun is truly blazing..."

"I don't know either. At first, I thought it was similar to Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, which could brush away attacking divine powers, but it actually condensed them into treasures as well."

Longji exclaimed with emotion, "Fellow Daoist, you are truly blessed!"

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness. This object has remained unchanged, but when Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan used the Treasure-Dropping Coin, this object began to vibrate, as if it were related to him." Zhao Gongming bowed respectfully.

"It was during a casual conversation with Father Emperor that I learned that there are three extraordinary objects in the world that represent the way of trade: the Treasure-Dropping Coin, the Treasure-Gathering Basin, and the Money Tree. Even Father Emperor has not been able to find these objects."

Nanji Zi and the others looked on with envy. In that case, Zhao Gongming was truly blessed!

"Thank you for your clarification, Princess." Zhao Gongming cupped his hands in greeting. "I was rude earlier."

"Keep those words to your father," Longji snorted.

Bo Huang nodded: "That's right. You are the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, yet you still can't speak properly. It's all your own fault."

Zhao Gongming's expression hardened: "Does the Crown Prince really intend to make a move?"

Bo Huang and the others stepped forward in unison. The Ten Directions Annihilation instantly took shape, and the Money Tree was about to absorb the true fire of the sun, but after a large bell of chaotic color appeared, it directly withdrew all its divine light.

Randeng looked dazed, much like the former Donghuang Taiyi. The three-legged golden crow used to drive the Chaos Bell, but now the second generation of golden crows had replaced it, while he was still a Daluo Golden Immortal.

A moment later, Zhao Gongming, whose face was burning with the True Fire of the Sun on the Immortal Binding Rope, grimaced and had no choice but to surrender.

"Third Senior Brother, please take him back to the Heavenly Court." Bo Huang shook the Chaos Bell and looked at Zhao Gongming softly, "Fellow Daoist, I know this Immortal Binding Rope cannot restrain you, but if you want to escape..."

Zhao Gongming sighed inwardly. Looking at the half-smiling expressions of the princes and princesses, he could only manage a bitter smile: "This humble Taoist wouldn't dare."

Lu Er nodded: "Don't worry."

"Fellow Daoist, let's go."

Zhao Gongming nodded, his life filled with hardship, and went to the Heavenly Court with his junior brothers Lu Er and Yuan Hong.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jun continued his march, heading towards Chaoge in a grand procession.

……

"Master, your disciple has returned." Lu Er bowed deeply, accompanied by a human and a monkey.

"Get up, it seems this gibbon is willing!" Haotian said calmly, and Yuan Hong nodded repeatedly, "This humble immortal is willing, this humble immortal is willing."

Whether facing the powerful Lu Er Zhenjun or the guarantee that he could attain quasi-sainthood, it was worth sacrificing his own essence.

With a gentle tap, Haotian sent a drop of reddish-black liquid, wreathed in malevolent energy, flying out from the body of the Long-Armed Ape. Lu Er took out a jade box and put it away.

"Disciple Zhao Gongming pays respects to the Great Heavenly Venerable. May His Majesty enjoy eternal bliss and His Majesty attain the Primordial Chaos realm soon."

Yaochi said calmly, "Get up. Among the disciples of the Jie Sect, only Duobao knows some manners."

"This disciple knows his sins." Zhao Gongming lowered his head and remained silent; what he had said earlier was indeed impolite.

Haotian chuckled: "I never expected that the money tree would fall into your hands. It seems that this thing is truly destined for you."

He truly is a destined god of wealth!

Zhao Gongming looked puzzled; the Heavenly Emperor's words seemed to have been anticipated.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to offer you a money tree. Please forgive me."

"I wouldn't need your magical treasure. Although it's not bad, it's not of much use to me." Haotian shook his head. "After the Investiture of the Gods, a special group of divine positions will be established for the human race. I see that you are destined for the position of God of Wealth."

In the future, this will likely be the most popular shrine, and everyone will want to kneel before the God of Wealth for a long time.

Zhao Gongming was taken aback; they had already assigned him a job!

"Alright, you've stayed in the Heavenly Court all these years. Don't go down to the mortal realm. Lu Er, take him to your Diwei Palace."

"Yes, disciple takes his leave." Lu Er bowed and left again with the man and the monkey.
