The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 61 Daoist Duobao, the Arrogant Guangchengzi, the Banquet Begins

"Refine? Junior Brother can refine innate spiritual treasures?" Duo Bao was somewhat incredulous. Innate spiritual treasures are spiritual treasures that are nurtured by heaven and earth. Can they now be refined by humans?
"My grandmaster bestowed the Qiankun Cauldron upon me," Zhou Chen said calmly. This wasn't a secret; the Six Sages of Heaven and Haotian Yaochi all knew. Besides, his Ziwei Palace was going to offer a primordial spiritual treasure as a reward, so the Qiankun Cauldron couldn't be kept hidden.

Even if some people are envious, apart from these six saints, he really has no one he fears in the prehistoric world. Even if the saints disregard their reputation and take action (like those two in the West), Zhou Chen is not afraid, because he has powerful backers.

"I see, junior brother, you're so lucky!" Duobao understood when he heard about the Qiankun Cauldron. The Qiankun Cauldron was a treasure with the ability to reverse one's innate constitution. However, he only said it with envy and was not jealous.

It's clear that at this point, Duobao, as the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, was quite reliable.

As for why it later became the Tathagata of Many Treasures, there are probably many reasons.

Firstly, the Jie Sect was already extinct. His insistence was useless, and he couldn't resist the arrangements of the sages. So he simply gave up and went all out. After all, dividing the fortunes of Buddhism was of no use to a sect that had already been destroyed. It was better to submit to Buddhism and at least vent his anger.

Secondly, it's possible that the two Western sages tempted and brainwashed him. People are ultimately selfish. Duobao has already done enough for the Jie Sect, even standing up to the sages in the Investiture of the Gods. After the Jie Sect is destroyed, he will also have to consider his own path.

The two Westerners have plenty of ways to seduce people, and who knows if they've used any tricks on Duobao.

"Senior brother, you flatter me. Our master's things are not so easy to obtain," Zhou Chen said helplessly. Once the Peach Banquet is over, they will officially begin their operation. If they delay any longer, that person from Zixiao Palace will start urging them again.

"Hehe, if you need any help from your senior brother, please don't hesitate to ask," said Daoist Duobao magnanimously.

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up, and he said to Duobao, "Senior brother, it's settled then. When the time comes, don't refuse when your junior brother comes to you!"

Although they recruited many disciples of the Jie Sect, their cultivation levels were too low, making it difficult for them to utilize the celestial bodies to transform chaotic energy.

He was unwilling to further divide his primordial spirit because he already had a plan for his next realm, which was related to the primordial spirit, so he could only try to find a way in the prehistoric world.

If Zhou Chen were to let someone who was willing to help him go, wouldn't he be a fool?
"No problem!" Duobao readily agreed. He didn't care. With Zhou Chen's strength, he really couldn't think of any place where he would need help. If Zhou Chen couldn't handle it, he had even less of a chance.

Little did he know that this decision would almost exhaust Duobao. Although he gained a lot, he really didn't want to experience it again.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, glancing subtly at the three senior sisters beside him, and said meaningfully to Duobao, "Senior brother, I do have some things to attend to in a while, and we're a bit short-handed. Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. Once I'm done, I'll lend you the Qiankun Cauldron for a while. Duobao, Duobao, how can you do without some spiritual treasures!"

"Junior brother, what did you do?" Duobao was somewhat incredulous. This was a supreme innate treasure, and he just lent it out like that? He had originally planned to ask Zhou Chen for help to restore his magic weapon to its original state after some time.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen generously lent him the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure.

Although I need help, how much can I, a newcomer to the Great Luo, really do?

"Senior brother, it's settled then." Zhou Chen made the decision directly.

"Ahem!" Jin Ling coughed twice without expression.

Gui Ling and Wu Dang also looked at Zhou Chen.

“The three senior sisters are also here to lend a helping hand to their junior brother,” Zhou Chen quickly said.

After he finished speaking, smiles appeared on the faces of Jin Ling and the others.

“Senior brothers, you go in first. I need to go to Ziwei Palace to bring Gongming and the others here,” Zhou Chen said. “Junior brother, go ahead!” Daoist Duobao said.

Zhou Chen greeted Jin Ling and the others, then took Bi Xiao to the Ziwei Palace.

By the time Zhou Chen led the Ziwei Palace to the Peach Banquet, almost everyone in the prehistoric world had arrived.

The top seat has seven empty seats, which should be the positions of the six Heavenly Dao Saints and Lady Pingxin. Lady Pingxin is one of the Six Emperors, but she is a supreme saint, and the first Earthly Dao Saint. If the Earthly Dao were to emerge, she would be the Ancestor of the Earthly Dao, an existence on par with Hongjun Dao Ancestor. How could Haotian dare to be on par with her!
Below is the Jade Pool of the Heavenly Court, with the two rulers of the Heavenly Court on either side, and the other four of the Six Emperors on either side.

The Old Man of the South Pole sat to the left of Yaochi, so Zhou Chen could only sit to the left of Haotian, otherwise it wouldn't look good.

Below them are the many great supernatural beings of the primordial world, such as Zhen Yuanzi, Styx, Kunpeng, and Jin Ning, who have names, as well as some beings that Zhou Chen has seen (fought) but cannot name.

Below them are the disciples of the saints of the three religions and the Western religion, then the immortals of the Heavenly Court, and finally the wandering immortals of the primordial world.

In the primordial world, strength is still paramount, and even disciples of sages must abide by this rule.

After scanning the area, Zhou Chen discovered that Haotian Yaochi had actually broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm. It seemed that the Heavenly Court's fortune was indeed immense; otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly.

However, it has nothing to do with him; the Heavenly Court's fortune doesn't have much effect on him.

He nodded to the Old Man of the South Pole and quietly waited for the Peach Banquet to begin.

"Have a banquet!"

Once everyone was present, Haotian announced the start of the banquet.

Immediately, celestial music began to play, and pairs of fairies carrying peaches of immortality walked up.

Those rogue cultivators below, lacking cultivation resources, had their eyes light up at the sight of the peaches, and some even started drooling.

"Humph!"

Before the host could speak, Guang Chengzi snorted coldly, as if he disdained to associate with these people.

Those at the head of the table were all beings above the Quasi-Saint level. Even with the celestial music covering them, they could clearly hear Guang Chengzi's cold snort, even though he was at the peak of the Taiyi realm.

Haotian's face darkened. This Guangchengzi was truly ungrateful. You are just a minor Taiyi cultivator. Without a sage, you are nothing. How dare you be so presumptuous!

He was already somewhat dissatisfied because the sage hadn't come, and Guang Chengzi's behavior only provoked him further.

However, Haotian ultimately held back. After all, this was his first Peach Banquet, and he didn't want it to be ruined because of the little Guang Chengzi. Besides, this guy was a disciple of a sage, and he didn't want to offend the sage.

Soon all the peaches were served, and Haotian said a few words before everyone began to enjoy them.

Zhou Chen wasn't very interested in this. He might have tried the Ren Shui peach tree before it differentiated, but the effects and taste after differentiation were vastly different.
