Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

......

Enter Yuan Hong’s cave.

The cave is surrounded by spiritual energy, just like a fairyland.

Every inch of space is filled with a faint spiritual charm, making people feel an extraordinary atmosphere.

The furnishings around the cave are simple yet elegant, with a few green spiritual herbs dotted around, emitting a faint fragrance that blends with the spiritual energy in the cave, creating a unique atmosphere.

The naturally formed textures on the stone walls inside the cave and the stalactites hanging from the ceiling complement each other, forming a series of exquisite paintings.

In the center of the cave, a clear spiritual spring flows quietly. The surface of the water ripples, reflecting the soft light from the top of the cave, like a dazzling gem inlaid in the cave.

The entire cave seems to be an isolated paradise, where people can indulge in it and forget the hustle and bustle of the world.

Being in such an environment, one can't help but feel relaxed and happy, as if one can feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth constantly gathering and flowing, making one's soul receive an unprecedented baptism and sublimation.

"Yuan Hong has good taste. The design of the cave is more exquisite than the one I had on Jin'ao Island. A monkey lives a more stylish life than a human."

Luo Shu walked around the cave and admired it.

"It is still most important to break through the cultivation level first. In the prehistoric world, the strong are respected."

Luo Shu was sitting upright on the cushion, when suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

"I still have some Heavenly Merit that I haven't refined yet. Although the Heavenly Merit can improve my cultivation, it has drawbacks and is not advisable."

“Refine a spiritual treasure? Forget it. I already have two top-grade innate spiritual treasures. I don’t need them for the time being.”

"It is better to condense the golden body of merit. In this way, when I travel in the wild in the future, it will at least be a kind of protection. Anyone who wants to control me will have to consider whether he can bear the consequences."

The Golden Body of Merit is an extremely sacred and powerful existence. If one wants to condense the Golden Body of Merit, first of all, one must have a certain amount of merit accumulated, and secondly, the practitioner must reach a certain level of cultivation. Only under such conditions can the Golden Body of Merit be condensed.

Having a golden body of merit can not only make your path of cultivation smoother, making it easier to break through realms and reach higher levels, but it can also resist various attacks and injuries. If someone wants to kill you, they will also have to bear the power of cause and effect bestowed by heaven.

It is simply an essential artifact for saving lives.

Thinking of this, Luo Shu did not waste a moment and took out a bunch of compressed golden clouds of merit from his body. He circulated his magic power and condensed them into a golden body of merit that was shining with golden light.

After a long time, the golden cloud of merit in Luo Shu's hand was exhausted, and there appeared a golden body behind him that seemed to appear and disappear. This was the golden body of merit condensed using the golden cloud of merit.

"Sure enough, the Merit Golden Body can speed up cultivation. It's true that the speed of absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy has increased a lot."

"Now I can use the Broken Mirror Pill to break through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal. It's time for me to experience the realm of the Taiyi Golden Immortal."

Just as Luo Shu was about to take out the Broken Mirror Pill, the system prompt sounded again.

[Ding! The system triggers a task, triggering three selection tasks. The host can choose one to complete the task.]

[{Choice 1}: Do not retreat, continue to wander in the wild, {Reward}: Top-grade innate spiritual roots - ten innate Renshui peaches! ]

[{Choice 2}: Stay in seclusion in Meishan for one year. Even if you break through to Taiyi Jinxian, you cannot come out before one year, otherwise the mission will fail. {Reward}: Five drops of Pangu's blood! ]

[{Choice 3}: Return to Jin'ao Island and retreat for a year, {Reward}: Top-grade innate spiritual treasure - Azure Dragon Crescent Blade! ]

"System, I won't tell you about the mission yet. I have something to say, and I'm very curious. Can you explain it to me?"

[Ding! Host, please speak up. This system will tell you everything it knows! ]

Luo Shu got a response and asked curiously:

"How many drops of Pangu's blood are there in total? Look, the next system, the next system, and so on. All the systems working in the prehistoric world will reward Pangu's blood and Pangu's spinal cord at any time."

"Even if you refined Pangu dry, you wouldn't have this much. Tell me, did you clone it for mass production?"

[Ding! Please don't talk nonsense, as for the supply quantity, it involves confidentiality and I can't tell you! ]

. . .

"System, do you want to read your words? They're a slap in the face. I just want to ask you if it hurts!"

【...】

[Ding! Please select the task to be completed as soon as possible! ]

"Well, you are the boss, and I let you say whatever you want."

"For selection task 2, only choose the expensive one, not the right one."

From what he said, it can be seen that he has played King of Glory a lot. He only chooses expensive skins, not the right ones, hahahaha.

[Ding! The host has selected task 2. The selection is complete. Please complete the task on time! ]

"System, you can quit now. We don't need you anymore. You are nothing. You can't even answer such a simple question. You are a piece of shit!"

After saying this, Luo Shu's mind moved, and he took out a pill from the system space - the Mirror Breaking Pill.

Broken Mirror Pill - The pill is deep red in color, exuding a strong herbal aroma. There are fine lines on the surface, like energy bursting out from the inside. It is shaped like a small round ball, and the smooth surface makes people want to touch it.

After a while, the whole cave was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.

Luo Shu observed it for a while and then threw it directly into his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth and the rich herbal aroma lingered between his lips and teeth.

The medicinal power contained in the pill enters the body through the mouth, and the energy flows through the limbs and bones to fill the whole body.

At this time, Luo Shu closed his eyes and immersed himself in absorbing the medicinal power to improve his cultivation.

This also officially started a one-year retreat.

......

Zixiao Palace

Located in the chaos, if one wants to cross the chaotic energy and come to the Zixiao Palace, one must have at least the cultivation level of a Daluo Jinxian. Otherwise, as soon as one enters the chaos, he will be strangled by the chaotic energy.

This place is the Taoist temple of the Taoist ancestor - Hongjun.

This is also the place where three thousand guests from the ancient times listened to the teachings.

At this time, in the center of the main hall of Zixiao Palace, sat a seemingly ordinary old man in a gray Taoist robe. Looking closely, he seemed to be one with the world and was unfathomable.

This old man is the master of Zixiao Palace - Patriarch Hongjun.

Standing aside the stage was a middle-aged man with an imposing appearance, tall and slender figure, wearing a dragon robe embroidered with golden dragons. This man was none other than the former boy of the Taoist ancestor, and now the Jade Emperor of Heaven - Haotian.

Haotian was crying to Daozu, and his aggrieved tone was so heartbreaking that anyone who heard it would cry.

"Master, I am really suffering. There are only two or three big and small cats in the Heavenly Court now. It is difficult to perform the duties of each priest. You said before that the disciples of the brothers can go to the Heavenly Court to help me, but they always regard themselves as disciples of the saints and look down on my boyhood."

"Master, even if I was born a boy, I am still your boy. They are really too much. If I say a few words to them, Senior Brother Saint will come to the Heavenly Palace to talk to me. Master, I really have no choice but to come to you."

As he spoke, tears actually welled up in Haotian's eyes.

Daozu did not even open his eyes and said slowly:

"Okay, I know what you said, leave now."

After hearing Daozu's words, Haotian stopped talking. After all, he had served Daozu for many epochs. He knew that Daozu had listened to him and that his goal had been achieved, so he naturally followed Daozu's words and retreated.

"Yes."

After saying that, Haotian left Zixiao Palace and flew towards the Heavenly Palace.

After Haotian left, Daozu opened his eyes, his deep eyes revealing a gleam of wisdom.

With a wave of his hand, five magic spells shot towards Shouyang Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Jin'ao Island, Xumi Mountain and the Wa Palace.

"The great calamity is about to begin, and I must further refine my Dao."

After Daozu finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, and Zixiao Palace returned to its former tranquility.
