Primordial Era: The Ten Deadly Formations are Broken, Shen Gongbao Asks Me to Come Out of the Mounta

"Excellent wine! This spirit wine is truly extraordinary; one cup is enough to save me a hundred years of cultivation!"

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Li!"

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were naturally unaware that something hidden was already present within their primordial spirits. Overjoyed, they repeatedly thanked Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming was delighted on the surface, but in his heart he thought to himself: "Possessing a treasure is a crime. You are only Golden Immortals, yet you dare to rashly participate in the Great Tribulation. You will naturally be plagued by killing tribulations and be on the list!"

However, if you can help me, even if you make it onto the list in the future, I will certainly take care of you!

Seeing the overjoyed Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, Zhao Gongming put away the pot of spirit wine and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoists, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer!"

After saying that, he didn't hesitate any longer, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

This scene stunned Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. They hadn't expected that Zhao Gongming would take the pot of spirit wine with him when he left.

But then I thought about it again. That's how it is for independent cultivators. They have scarce resources for cultivation. The fact that this fellow Daoist 'Li Changsheng' could offer a cup of spiritual wine shows how generous he is.

Meanwhile, Qiao Kun, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't see anything unusual. He even thought it was reasonable for Zhao Gongming to take the spirit wine away. It would have been really suspicious if he hadn't taken the spirit wine.

After all, rogue cultivators are all very poor, and a pot of spirit wine is already of extraordinary value to them.

"However, I still need to report this to the teacher!"

Since Qiao Kun was valued by Ran Deng, he must have a meticulous and thoughtful personality.

Although he couldn't see anything wrong, he didn't dare to delay and left Wuyi Mountain, heading towards Lingjiu Mountain.

Lingjiu Mountain, true to its name, is entirely black and exudes an aura of death, resembling a giant coffin lying on the earth. It is a forbidden zone for living beings.

At this moment, deep within Lingjiu Mountain, inside Yuanjue Cave, Randeng is receiving a Taoist priest.

"Qiao Kun, you're not guarding Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao at Wuyi Mountain. Has something happened?"

Ran Deng asked, "Given Qiao Kun's character, he would not have abandoned his post without authorization unless something unexpected happened."

"Indeed, not long ago, there was a rogue cultivator named Li Changsheng..."

Qiao Kun answered truthfully, recounting in detail Zhao Gongming's appearance, his visit to Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, and the three of them discussing Dao.

"Li Changsheng? How come I've never heard of this cultivator?"

Ran Deng's expression changed, and he immediately became vigilant.

Given the perilous nature of the calamity, and his personality, he naturally made numerous arrangements, among which the Wuyi Mountain was a crucial one.

"Reporting to Master, based on my observation, Li Changsheng is not acquainted with Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, and his behavior does not seem to indicate that he is a disciple of any major sect!"

Qiao Kun answered truthfully, also recounting the details of how Zhao Gongming took the flask of spirit wine with him before leaving.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Here is a pot of fifth-grade golden pills. Go back and continue to guard Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao!"

Ran Deng's expression softened slightly. He took out a pot of five-stage golden pills and bestowed them upon Qiao Kun. Qiao Kun accepted the pills and happily returned home.

After Qiao Kun left, Randeng's expression immediately darkened.

The rogue cultivator Li Changsheng arrived at Wuyi Mountain at the perfect moment, neither early nor late, just when the great calamity was at its most critical.

There are some suspicious points here.

Moreover, given his personality, he wouldn't completely believe even what Qiao Kun said.

At this point, I need to personally visit Wuyi Mountain to truly put my mind at ease.

No sooner had Qiao Kun left than Randeng departed from Yuanjue Cave. His benevolent corpse was still in Xiqi, but the one currently in action was his true form, moving at an extreme speed.

Soon, he arrived at Mount Wuyi ahead of Qiao Kun.

With the cultivation level of a Quasi-Saint, it was naturally difficult for Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao to detect anything. As the Quasi-Saint's power swept over Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's entire bodies, he found nothing unusual, and only then did Randeng feel relieved.

However, he still instinctively began to calculate.

However, the great calamity is intensifying, and the cause and effect in the world are obscure. Even saints cannot deduce any information, let alone him, a newly promoted quasi-saint.

The calculations yielded no results, which didn't surprise Randeng. Even with his quasi-saint level cultivation, he couldn't detect anything unusual. Presumably, the rogue cultivator Li Changsheng had just happened to be passing by.

As for his status as a top-tier supernatural being, he happened to arrive at Mount Wuyi and happened to realize the function of the strange treasure in Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's hands, so he specially concealed his aura and made plans.

It's possible that this is not impossible, but given that it coincided with the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, even those with great supernatural powers would close their mountain gates and avoid karma. This possibility is extremely low, almost nonexistent!

Thinking of this, Randeng finally relaxed completely, and with a swift movement, he disappeared from the spot.

......................

"Phew! We're finally here!"

Over here, a figure transformed into golden light, moving at an incredible speed, and landed directly on Golden Turtle Island. This spectacle immediately alarmed many cultivators.

This figure was none other than Zhao Gongming, who had returned from Wuyi Mountain. After using the Golden Light of the Earth for nearly a hundred years to travel, even he showed signs of fatigue on his face.

As for the reaction of the lamp, he had expected it.

Given his cautious nature, he would probably still have to go to Wuyi Mountain to investigate in person. However, the methods of transformation and rebirth are not something he can discover.

And even if the precious gold coin falls, the lamp will not give it up.

After all, such a rare treasure is incredibly useful; by waiting patiently, one could potentially trick a powerful expert at any time.

Most importantly, you don't have to initiate it yourself, wasting your own luck. You can use someone else to do the dirty work and reap all the benefits. Where else in the world can you find such a perfect plan?

His predecessor had been completely outmaneuvered by Randeng, but this time, if he were to pass through Wuyi Mountain again, he would give Randeng a big surprise.

"Ding dong, congratulations host, you have arrived at Jin'ao Island and received the reward - Seven Nailhead Arrows!"

Just then, as Zhao Gongming was pondering, a system notification sounded, which startled him.

The Seven Arrows of Nailhead was used to kill his predecessor by this insidious and powerful supernatural ability, which made him obsessed with it.

At this moment, after comprehending the information in his mind, Zhao Gongming was in a great mood. This supernatural power, in the hands of others, would be insidious and vicious.

But in one's own hands, it becomes a deadly weapon, impossible to defend against.

If someone doesn't like you, you can use this supernatural power to directly nail down their primordial spirit.

The way Jiang Ziya set up an altar on Mount Qi, made paper figures, and then worshipped for forty-nine days was simply a way for Lu Ya to avoid bearing the karmic burden of this supernatural power.

The real Seven Arrows of Nailhead is not this complicated at all. As long as you sense the enemy's aura, you can directly activate this divine power and it can be cast instantly!

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could be cursed to death, and even a Quasi-Saint's primordial spirit would be affected.

Of course, the way of Heaven is fair. This supernatural power is powerful, but the backlash is too amazing. It's like cursing and killing a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The amount of luck and merit consumed is so great that even Zhao Gongming feels the pain.

In comparison, the price paid for cursing and killing people with "low" cultivation levels, such as the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect and Jiang Ziya, is much smaller.

Zhao Gongming's mind raced as he glanced ahead, but his brows furrowed slightly. The good mood he had just enjoyed after obtaining the Seven Arrows of Nailhead vanished in an instant.
