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

"Liberation from Fengdu? This is an opportunity for my Chan Sect!"

In the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, even the usually expressionless face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable couldn't help but show a hint of emotion.

He disdained the Heavenly Court's ranks, and even the ranks of the Four Emperors were beneath his notice.

Firstly, there is Haotian, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, whose cultivation level is only at the Quasi-Saint level.

If it were my own Jade Void Golden Immortal who were granted the title of True God in the Heavenly Court, wouldn't that mean that Haotian was on equal footing with me?

Secondly, the Heavenly Court position offers little prospect of advancement. Even if one achieves it through physical means, one will be burdened with authority and responsibilities, which not only hinders one's own cultivation but also yields very few benefits.

But the status of a fruit in the underworld is completely different.

Even the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot penetrate the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld, and the magnanimous Meng Po can unleash power in the underworld that is no less than that of a saint.

Besides, the positions in the underworld are all very lucrative.

Once a position is conferred, one will first receive a large amount of merit and good fortune, and then receive a continuous stream of merit and good fortune.

Most importantly, the fruition of the underworld is beyond the primordial calamity.

In other words, once he is granted a title in the underworld, the twelve Golden Immortals under his command will be free from calamities, and he will no longer need to worry about so many things.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The golden bell outside the Jade Void Palace rang with extraordinary urgency, and in an instant, all the Jade Void Golden Immortals who were originally in Xiqi City also felt it.

Although they did not know why their master had summoned them, the Jade Void Golden Bell seemed to have never rung so urgently before.

In an instant, all twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void flew towards Kunlun Mountain.

"My Jie Sect has ten thousand immortals paying homage, but among its disciples and direct disciples, there are only eight. Of these, five hold the title of Ghost Emperor, so surely two or three will be allocated to them!"

On Jin'ao Island, even the Tongtian Sect Leader was unusually excited. Even in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao Saint, the Five Ghost Emperor positions were incredibly valuable.

Moreover, this occurred during the perilous Investiture of the Gods calamity.

The first person Tongtian Jiaozhu thought of was Zhao Gongming. In this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect would be the first to bear the brunt, and all those below the level of saints would be caught in the calamity.

If Yuanshi truly disregarded the bond between the Three Pure Ones and the rift between brothers, even he wouldn't have enough confidence to protect Zhao Gongming during the great calamity!

If they could obtain the position of one of the Five Directions Ghost Emperors, they would naturally transcend the Great Tribulation. Only then would their Jie Sect have a chance to rise again in the next Great Tribulation!

"Master! I have something to discuss with you!"

Before the Tongtian Sect Leader could even ponder, a rainbow light flew into Biyou Palace; it was Zhao Gongming, who had returned from the Pangu Temple.

"Gongming, you've come at just the right time. Your master also has something to discuss with you!"

Previously, a message came from the underworld that Fengdu had been exalted, and we, the disciples of the sage, were to go to the underworld to compete for the position of one of the Five Ghost Emperors!

What do you think?

Before Zhao Gongming could speak, the Tongtian Sect Leader continued:

"This underworld is different from the heavenly court. Once a person is granted a title, it is equivalent to transcending the primordial calamity!"

The Five Ghost Emperors, in terms of rank, are equivalent to the Four Emperors in the Heavenly Court. Of course, in a real comparison, the Four Emperors are far inferior.

Since Chi You's defeat, the Underworld has fallen into silence. It's rather strange that Fengdu has now risen to prominence!

As the Tongtian Sect Leader spoke, a hint of doubt appeared on his own face.

Back in the Battle of Zhuolu, Chi You was backed by the Underworld, while the Human Emperor Xuanyuan was backed by the Heavenly Court and the disciples of the Sages.

In truth, the underworld and the four sage religions probably have quite a few grudges against them.

The current request to transcend Fengdu is rather abrupt, leaving even the Tongtian Sect Leader somewhat puzzled.

"Transcending Fengdu?"

Seeing the bewildered Tongtian Jiaozhu, Zhao Gongming was instinctively taken aback, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Could Fengdu's ascension be because of himself?

After all, just now, he had taken ten drops of Pangu's essence blood from that Pangu Temple.

But then I thought about it again.

This time, the Underworld's announcement will likely be felt not only by the four sects, but also by many other forces such as the Heavenly Court, the Northern Underworld Palace, and the Blood Sea.

It's really quite unlikely that such a big fuss would be made just for oneself.

But soon, Zhao Gongming was also invigorated.

The positions of the Five Ghost Emperors are all highly coveted. If one could secure a Ghost Emperor position for one of his three younger sisters before the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was about to begin, it would be a great opportunity.

I can now act freely.

Moreover, the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld is also a key element in the struggle for the next great eon.

During the Journey to the West tribulation, the Western Sect set its sights on the underworld and reincarnation. First, Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the underworld, and later Ksitigarbha made a vow that he would not become a Buddha until the underworld was emptied.

Then, shamelessly, he went to the eighteenth level of hell and refused to leave.

Right now, if one can plan for the positions of the Five Ghost Emperors and make arrangements in the Underworld in advance, one can naturally gain the upper hand when the Great Tribulation of the Gods ends.

"This disciple is willing to lead all my personally taught disciples there!"

Zhao Gongming readily agreed, though he didn't know the specific form this underworld salvation would take.

But in the primordial world, in the end, strength reigns supreme, and might makes right.

At this time, he had already attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal and reached the Quasi-Saint level in Body Refinement. No one below the Saint level could do anything to him.

It's quite possible that he's going to Fengdu in the underworld to secure a position for his three younger sisters.

As for the other disciples of the Jie Sect, there are only five Ghost Emperor positions in the Underworld. There aren't even enough for all the direct disciples, so sending more would be pointless.

"good!

The underworld is a sacred place, and it is inconvenient for us Heavenly Saints to go there!

You must be extra careful on your journey!

Soon, in Biyou Palace, all the disciples of the Jie Sect gathered. Tongtian Jiaozhu also said earnestly that the Underworld is a vital place in the primordial world, concerning reincarnation, and even saints dare not fight fiercely within it.

This ascension to Fengdu was entirely due to the strength of our own disciples.

"Your disciple will remember this!"

Zhao Gongming held the Qingping Sword, with the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, Duobao Daoren, Wudang Shengmu, Jinling Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, and the eight disciples of the Jie Sect gathered behind him.

Immediately, in a grand and majestic manner, it flew straight towards the underworld.

"Be extremely careful on your journey to the underworld!"

At Kunlun Mountain, in front of the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void beneath him and spoke earnestly. As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed out from behind him.

If it wasn't Ran Deng, then who could it be?

It turns out that after being severely injured by Zhao Gongming and having his Qiankun Ruler stolen, Randeng harbored resentment and returned to Wuyi Mountain, where he killed Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, all of which were added to the Investiture of the Gods list.

After that, he went into seclusion in Lingjiu Mountain to cultivate. Who would have thought that not long ago, Yuanshi Tianzun would come to visit him.

Knowing that nothing good was coming of it, Randeng could only grit his teeth and go through the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld again with the Jade Void Golden Immortal.

Soon, led by Ran Deng, the Jade Void Golden Immortals also headed towards the Underworld in a grand procession.

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, with the disciples of the four sects gathered here this time, I'm afraid my Heavenly Court has little hope!"

However, let me, a celestial official from the Heavenly Court, try my luck in the Underworld!

Within the Jade Pool, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, dressed in white, exuded the aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Beside her stood a stunningly beautiful woman, whose demeanor was slightly more mature, yet whose aura was equally formidable.

This woman was Yang Jian's biological mother, the fairy Yao Ji. After being tricked by Yang Tianyou of the West, she was rescued by Yang Jian and returned to the Heavenly Court.

Soon, led by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Yao Ji, Venus, and other celestial beings from the Heavenly Court also headed towards the Underworld.
