I am a fox in the prehistoric times

Not long after Jiang Ziya began learning Taoism, he realized that his talent was extremely poor. Apart from the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which could help people ascend to the heavens in one step, the other elixirs were basically useless!

Therefore, he was extremely grateful for the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir bestowed upon him by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, because without the Primordial Celestial Venerable's grace, he would have had no chance to defy fate!

Shen Gongbao also learned about his talent from Yuanshi Tianzun, so he kept his distance from the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, a pill that could lead to the Great Luo realm in one step. After all, if he had such a pill, Shen Gongbao couldn't guarantee that he could resist the temptation to ascend to the heavens in one step!

He harbored no resentment towards the ordinary pills that Yuanshi Tianzun bestowed upon him for cultivation. After all, although the pills given to him by Yuanshi Tianzun were not as good as the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, they were entirely beneficial to his cultivation. As long as he made steady progress, there was no problem for him to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future. Why should he become a worthless Great Luo with only magical power but no cultivation level for the sake of temporary gains?

Shen Gongbao originally thought that Jiang Ziya, after consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and refining its medicinal power with the assistance of Yuanshi Tianzun, would become a fake Great Luo Immortal.

But who would have thought that nine years later, when Jiang Ziya walked out of the Jade Void Palace, his cultivation was stuck at the limit of the mortal realm and could not make any progress. He had not broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm at all!

Yuanshi Tianzun was speechless, feeling that Jiang Ziya had truly wasted that Nine-Turn Golden Pill. However, his fate of not becoming an immortal was predetermined by the Heavenly Dao, and no matter how powerful he was, he could not help Jiang Ziya in the slightest!

After realizing that Jiang Ziya was unlikely to achieve anything in the path of immortality, he did not continue to make things difficult for him. Instead, he sent him to learn things that might be useful in the future!

As for Shen Gongbao, Yuanshi Tianzun told him to continue his cultivation. As for miscellaneous books that were useless for the path of immortality but useful for mortals, he could read more if he wanted, and he could leave them alone if he didn't want to!

When Shen Gongbao's cultivation was stuck at the half-step Golden Immortal level, Yuanshi Tianzun gave him a brief explanation of the Dao to help him break through to the Golden Immortal level!

Yuanshi Tianzun was quite satisfied with Shen Gongbao's speed in cultivating from a terrestrial immortal to a golden immortal in less than forty years. However, he also knew that haste makes waste, and Shen Gongbao's strength had now reached the limit he could achieve.

For the next period of time, he needs to settle down and cultivate his own cultivation, practice a few protective divine abilities, go to the Great Tribulation to experience it, improve his own state of mind, and solidify his own cultivation!

When Yuanshi Tianzun calculated that the time was right for Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao to descend the mountain, he immediately arranged for them to do so! Shen Gongbao knew that he had reached the limit of what he could achieve, and continuing to cultivate in seclusion on Kunlun Mountain would be of little use.

Therefore, instead of wasting time on Kunlun Mountain, it would be better to go to the mortal world for some training. Perhaps after the training, his cultivation will be able to be completely stabilized!

As for Jiang Ziya, he did not want to go down the mountain. Although he was taking the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, he realized that he had no talent in cultivation, even the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir could not save him. However, he always adhered to the belief of never giving up, and felt that as long as he worked hard, he would eventually have the possibility of becoming an immortal!

Yuanshi Tianzun naturally saw through Jiang Ziya's unrealistic expectations. In order to make him realize the truth, Yuanshi Tianzun could only shatter his illusions and tell him that it would be difficult to become an immortal in this life and that he could only enjoy worldly wealth and honor. If he wanted to become an immortal, he could only rely on the next life. Therefore, in order to be reborn into a good family in the next life, it was still very necessary to go down the mountain to experience and accumulate merit!

When Jiang Ziya realized that he had no chance of becoming an immortal in this life and could only place his hopes on the next, he stopped pleading to stay on Kunlun Mountain!

After Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao left Kunlun Mountain, the two began to discuss where they should go. However, Shen Gongbao felt that the prehistoric world was so vast that he wanted to travel everywhere, while Jiang Ziya felt that there was hardly a place for him to stand in the world!
