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

In the chaotic starry sky, at the Daoist temple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's expression changed upon seeing Zhunti, who had just left and returned again.

Does this Western saint treat my sacred place as his own home?

Come and go as you please?

I was just getting into a state of enlightenment, and being forcibly interrupted like this is very unpleasant.

However, after realizing that he still owed the Buddhist community karmic debts, Yuanshi Tianzun could only suppress his displeasure and place Zhunti in the temple.

"Fellow Daoist Zhunti, I have already agreed not to interfere in the affairs of human dynasties."

What brings you here this time?

Yuanshi Tianzun asked irritably, "The arrival of a Western sage is bound to be bad news, so it's no wonder he's not in a good mood."

"Amitabha Buddha, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you misunderstand. This humble monk has come specifically to settle the karmic debt from the Investiture of the Gods!"

Upon hearing that Zhunti wanted to settle the karmic debt, Yuanshi Tianzun appeared impatient, but a sudden jolt ran through his heart.

Infinite Heavenly Venerable!

I can finally repay my karmic debts!

During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, he made a mistake and attracted Zhunti and Jieyin to attack Tongtian Jiaozhu together. Since then, these two Western saints have been like persistent ghosts.

Not only did they abduct his personal disciples, but they also frequently brought up this cause and effect!

Once I have settled all my karmic debts, I will settle the previous scores with your Buddhist sect!

They actually kidnapped my disciple and even plotted to seize the fate of the Chan Sect.

If I don't teach you a lesson, how can I prove my status as a true descendant of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu!

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun suppressed his joy and pretended to be impatient, saying, "In the Investiture of the Gods, I owe you the West only two karmic debts!"

You Buddhist sects have already repaid a debt of karma by abducting my Chan Sect's direct disciple!

The rise and fall of dynasties in the human world is yet another matter of cause and effect!

How could I possibly owe you any karmic debt from the West?

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun did not refuse, Zhunti calmly said, "The change of dynasties in the human world should follow the way of Heaven."

When I came here with my senior brother, it was only to give Senior Brother Yuanshi a reminder. As for what happens to Senior Brother Yuanshi, that is naturally none of our Buddhist sect's business!

"If the Primordial Celestial Venerable does not wish to repay the karmic debt I owe in the West, then I shall depart!"

Having said that, Zhunti immediately put his newfound knowledge to use, just like Zhao Gongming in the underworld before, feigning indifference to lure him in, and turned to leave.

Since he wasn't the one in debt, he wasn't in a hurry.

Sure enough, upon seeing Zhunti's feigned indifference, Yuanshi Tianzun cursed inwardly, "That damned bald monk is really putting on an act."

However, such great karmic debts from saints cannot be denied.

Thinking of this, he asked without changing his expression, "According to Fellow Daoist Zhunti, how should we settle this karmic debt?"

Zhunti stopped his departure and turned around, saying, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is one of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, with profound knowledge far beyond what our Western Buddhist sect can match!"

Since that's the case, this humble monk won't ask for an exorbitant amount.

"Ten top-grade innate spiritual treasures, to settle the karmic debt between our two sects, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was nearly so angry that he suffered internal injuries.

Ten top-grade innate spiritual treasures?

Zhunti really can bring himself to say that!

He immediately retorted without any politeness: "Western religions have always been known for their method of attaining enlightenment through dreams."

"Fellow Daoist, you should go back and wash up and go to sleep. In that method of attaining Dao in a dream, let alone top-grade innate spiritual treasures, there are quite a few even supreme treasures."

Zhunti remained unperturbed by Yuanshi Tianzun's mockery.

Negotiation, you know!

Isn't that just asking for an exorbitant price and then waiting for haggling?

However, now is not the time to loosen our stance.

Thinking of this, Zhunti pretended to be confused and asked, "What makes you say that, fellow Daoist?"

Could it be that they don't want to repay the karmic debt owed to the saint?

Yuanshi Tianzun said irritably, "I really don't know where you get the courage, fellow Daoist!"

The exciting chapter "Chapter 197 Yuanshi Tianzun: A Loss for Both Sides is Better than a Win for One!" is now available online. Click to read it now!

"If you're going to ask for such an exorbitant price, how about you give me ten, no, five, top-grade innate spiritual treasures? I'll even owe you a karmic debt from the West in return."

Upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words, Zhunti remained expressionless, but inwardly he was thinking to himself.

Five top-grade innate spiritual treasures are probably not enough.

However, this cause and effect is not so easy to resolve.

If I don't wipe out your Chan Sect today, I'll be considered incompetent!

Of course, that wicked Zhao Gongming is still waiting in the underworld, so this time we can't delay for too long.

Thinking of this, Zhunti immediately said, "Then let's have four top-grade innate spiritual treasures!"

This is the bottom line for the West.

"If you, fellow Daoist, are unwilling, then I will have no choice but to take matters into my own hands and convert Yun Zhongzi and the Antarctic Immortal to their disciples, thus settling this karmic debt!"

Upon hearing that Zhunti was also plotting against his own disciple, Yuanshi Tianzun flew into a rage and said, "You dare to try!"

Do you really think the Pangu Banner in my hand is just for show?

At most two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, plus one high-grade innate spiritual treasure—that's my bottom line!

"If that's too much, then we'll just have a showdown in this Chaos Bell, and then we'll talk about it!"

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun was truly enraged, Zhunti knew that this was probably the limit.

That's normal.

During the previous Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun was extorted by that scoundrel Zhao Gongming, who even stole his mount.

If we push them any further, it could lead to a lose-lose situation, which would be disastrous.

However, that beast Zhao Gongming has an astonishingly large appetite; two top-grade innate spiritual treasures probably won't be enough to satisfy it.

Thinking of this, Zhunti also gritted his teeth and said, "Three top-grade innate spiritual treasures! Or, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, give that immortal apricot tree to my Western Sect, and this karmic debt can be offset!"

Otherwise, I would have surely converted Yun Zhongzi and the Antarctic Immortal to Buddhism!

As for having done something in this chaotic starry sky?

Do you think I'm afraid of you?

At most, I'll just get a beating from you, but do you think I won't repay the karmic debt I owe to the saint?

Seeing that Zhunti's attitude had hardened, Yuanshi Tianzun calmed down and said coldly, "The Immortal Apricot is the foundation of my Chan Sect, absolutely impossible!"

Two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, plus these twelve immortal apricots!

Otherwise, we'll have to fight!

"If you can kidnap Yun Zhongzi, I can block Mount Sumeru. Let's see who can't hold out first!"

It is astonishing that even the most concerned sage, Yuanshi Tianzun, would bring up something as trivial as blocking the door.

Zhunti also knew that this was his limit.

He immediately nodded and said, "Very well, hand over the treasure, and our karmic ties will be completely severed!"

Yuanshi Tianzun coldly looked at Zhunti, took out two top-grade innate spiritual treasures and twelve immortal apricots, and with a heart full of pain, threw them to Zhunti.

"Take your treasure and get out of my treasure!"

From this day forward, I owe you no karmic debt to Buddhism. Be careful in your future actions; if you fall into my hands, I will not let you off the hook!

Seeing the harsh words from Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhunti, who had already benefited, didn't bother with him at all. He took the treasure and left.

As for the threat from Yuanshi Tianzun, who cares?

Do you really think it's still the time when the Three Pure Ones are united?

Instead of threatening others, teach your useless disciples a lesson!

Without mentioning Zhunti's thoughts, Yuanshi Tianzun became increasingly angry the more he thought about it!

Infinite Heavenly Venerable!

This was the last remaining treasure of the Chan Sect, but unexpectedly, it was all looted and plundered by the West.

However, a lose-lose situation is better than a win-win situation. Today, your Western religion should not expect to obtain these treasures so easily.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately sent a message to Zhao Gongming.

"Zhao Gongming, Zhunti just took two top-grade innate spiritual treasures and twelve immortal apricots from me. How much you can take is entirely up to your ability!"
