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

"What abundant merit!"

As merits accumulated, the three immortals, who were immersed in cultivation, suddenly sensed something and their faces showed surprise.

You should know that countless cultivators in the primordial world almost went bald trying to accumulate merit.

Especially now that a great calamity is approaching, having merit is like having an extra get-out-of-jail-free card.

"Little sister, thank you, elder brother!"

The three immortals all looked at Zhao Gongming, deeply moved. After all, even if their elder brother had accumulated merit, no one in the prehistoric world would complain about having too much merit.

"No need for formalities among family!"

At this moment, Zhao Gongming looked at the perfect golden wheel of merit behind the heads of the Three Immortals and nodded in satisfaction.

All my planning was worthwhile; this wave of merit has indeed been astonishing.

Humanity is the protagonist of the primordial world, though only in name. The true protagonists are the Heavenly Saints.

However, as long as one does something that makes a great contribution to the human race and gains merit, it will be a natural outcome.

With this merit, even the Heavenly Saint Yuanshi Tianzun would likely have to be more cautious about attacking his sister during the Investiture of the Gods.

Those who possess great merit are truly blessed. When they roam the primordial world, even sages who dare to harm them will bear a heavy burden of karma.

Moreover, the things we produce ourselves, such as the Five-Colored Divine Rice and farming tools, are not disposable.

As long as someone is still using it, the merit will continue to flow, although it is impossible to accumulate so much at once.

However, when accumulated over time, the total can be quite substantial.

Seeing that the Three Immortals had accumulated merit, Zhao Gongming felt relieved.

But soon, he looked at Qiongxiao and changed the subject, saying, "Of the three sisters, you have the most impatient personality. Even though you have merits, in this prehistoric world, strength ultimately speaks."

Even if you have accumulated merit, others will only dare not kill you. Sealing or even suppressing you is entirely possible.

Remember not to neglect your cultivation, and do not act impulsively or recklessly, lest you fall into an irreversible situation!

Seeing that Zhao Gongming had even relinquished such an important merit for their safety, Qiongxiao understood the gravity of the situation and obediently replied, "Big brother, I understand!"

Of the three Xiao sisters, the one Zhao Gongming was most worried about was Qiong Xiao. Seeing that she had listened to his words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, elder brother, I will keep my two sisters in check!" Yunxiao also spoke solemnly, having already sensed something unusual in Zhao Gongming's words.

"This is the first matter. The second matter is that if in the future someone asks you to come down the mountain to join the calamity because of the death of our elder brother, you should not say anything to him, but just kill him directly!"

In such a great calamity, even immortals and gods are as numerous as ants. I'm afraid even saints will be swept up in it. Even I, as your elder brother, would probably have to enter the calamity myself to find a glimmer of hope!

"If I, your brother, perish in this great calamity, you must not act rashly in anger. Otherwise, even if you are listed on the honor roll, I will never see you again!"

As if entrusting his last wishes, Zhao Gongming gave detailed instructions, and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao were already in tears.

"Alright, I have important matters to attend to. You all have accumulated merit, so go back to the Three Immortals Island and quietly recite the Yellow Court Classic. You must not be tainted by the karma of countless eons!"

Seeing that he had explained everything, Zhao Gongming slowly stood up. In the midst of this great calamity, everyone had to rely on their own abilities, and this was all he could do for the Three Immortals.

The most important thing right now is to improve our own strength as soon as possible.

"The younger sister sees off her elder brother!"

The three immortals agreed with tears in their eyes, looking at Zhao Gongming with reluctance.

Zhao Gongming left the cave and looked at the tearful Sanxiao, saying ruthlessly, "Remember, if any of you go down the mountain on your own to avenge your brother, even if you are listed on the Investiture of the Gods, I will never see you again!"

Having said that, he mounted the tiger and headed straight for the depths of the East China Sea.

Even out of sight of the Three Immortals, Zhao Gongming's eyes were also a little sore.

What a wonderful younger sister.

During the Lich King era, they took human form and joined the Jie Sect. They supported each other and their bond had become extremely deep.

During the Investiture of the Gods, he even cursed the sages for his own sake, resulting in a tragic death and being listed on the list. If he really died and was listed, having caused the deaths of his three younger sisters, how could he face them again?

The reason he was so resolute was that this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was something that could not be avoided by simply hiding.

Fate is like a knife; in the primordial calamity, only by entering the calamity can one find a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, the Chan Sect's Randeng is still waiting for the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in his possession.

The Qiankun Ruler and the Dinghai Divine Pearl are inherently intertwined by cause and effect. As long as these two treasures do not belong to one person, the cause and effect between him and Randeng can never be resolved.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gongming felt somewhat helpless. It was truly shameless of Ran Deng, a quasi-saint level expert, to feign defeat and flee in front of him, a Daluo Jinxian.

Unfortunately, the original owner actually believed this and rashly pursued the enemy, which led to the loss of the Treasure-Dropping Coin and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, resulting in his death and the dissipation of his Dao, ultimately benefiting the Burning Lamp.

"Falling Treasure Coins?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Gongming instinctively realized that the key to why he was struck by the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was the Treasure-Dropping Coin.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the holders of this Treasure-Dropping Coin, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, were not particularly strong in cultivation; they were merely two rogue cultivators.

If we could go to Wuyi Mountain in advance, make plans early, and borrow the Treasure-Dropping Coins, the situation of offense and defense would be completely different!

Of course, the fact that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao appeared in Wuyi Mountain so coincidentally, as if they were his nemesis, suggests that this matter is probably not so simple.

"After exploring that top-tier blessed land, we'll head to Mount Wuyi to investigate further!"

Zhao Gongming quickly made his choice, immediately focusing his mind and sitting upright on the black tiger's back. Even while traveling, he did not forget his cultivation.

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

Meanwhile, Zhao Gongming was on his way to a top-tier blessed land.

Wen Zhong was overjoyed and spread the five-colored divine rice, writing brushes, ink, paper, and farming tools he carried with him to the Shang Dynasty.

In terms of cultivation, he was not considered high. In terms of seniority, he was only a third-generation disciple in the Jie Sect. With the arrival of ten thousand immortals, having him one more or one less would not make a difference.

However, in the context of the Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong was the Grand Tutor and the entrusted minister. Even the tyrannical King Di Xin, whose temperament had drastically changed, both respected and feared Wen Zhong.

With the nationwide effort to promote it, Five-Colored Divine Rice, writing brushes, ink, paper, and agricultural tools were also disseminated from the Great Shang Dynasty at the fastest speed. Among them, the most amazing and direct effect was that of Five-Colored Divine Rice. This was a variety cultivated by the Earthly Sovereign Shennong specifically for the human physique. Not only did it mature quickly and have an astonishing yield, but most importantly, it could transform the human physique. Long-term consumption could bring about a complete transformation in the overall strength of the human race.

Similarly, writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and farming tools also play a significant role in the survival and reproduction of humankind.

Suddenly, the Xuan Bird, which had been somewhat listless atop the Shang Dynasty's Chaoge City, became spirited and its soaring cry startled all the saints and powerful beings of the primordial world.

"Oh? The fortune of the Shang Dynasty has skyrocketed?"

In the Western Regions, Zhunti and Jieyin sat atop the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, watching their Western disciples below as they leisurely expounded on the Great Way of the Sage.

The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods swept across the primordial world. However, as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. The Western lands, which have always been barren, were not affected by karma and were thus able to remain uninvolved in this great calamity.

The four major religions of the primordial era—the Chan, Jie, and Human religions—were all swept up in this great calamity. The Western religion, watching from the sidelines, was now poised to reap the benefits.

At that moment, Zhunti Jieyin sensed something and looked through the infinite distance at the spirited Xuan Bird aura above Chaoge City, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.

Back in the city of Chaoge, when Emperor Xin visited the Temple of Nuwa and wrote the lewd poem, it was their handiwork.

The Holy Mother Nuwa was furious and summoned the three demons from Xuanyuan Tomb to the palace, intending to ruin the eight-hundred-year fortune of the Shang Dynasty. In addition, with the fortune of the feudal lords and the support of Xiqi by the Chan Sect, the fortune of the Shang Dynasty was destined to decline and never rise again. But now, the fortune of the Shang Dynasty has suddenly surged so dramatically that even Zhunti could not help but deduce it. However, soon, astonishment appeared on his face.

The secrets of heaven are obscure; he couldn't deduce even the slightest bit of information.

It should be understood that sages hold the power of the Heavenly Dao. No matter how many eons have evolved or how obscure the secrets of Heaven may be, they will not be unable to deduce even the slightest bit of information.

Moreover, when it comes to the art of deduction, he is among the best of the six sages of the Heavenly Dao.

"That's enough!"

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, Zhunti simply stopped thinking about it.

No matter how the great calamity evolves, the Western Sect will remain steadfast and is destined to be the sole winner in this great calamity!

However, he didn't notice.

Among the Western Sect disciples below them, a disciple who was skilled in speaking had appeared out of nowhere. He quickly became one of the entire Western Sect disciples through his eloquent conversation.

"What?"

In Nuwa's palace, Nuwa sat languidly on her jade bed, the Great Dao of Creation resounding around her. Just then, as the Xuan Bird cried out, she sensed something, and a slight change appeared on her beautiful and dignified face. As the Holy Mother of the Human Race, she had been desecrated by the current Human Emperor. In her rage, she directly summoned the three demons of Xuanyuan, ruining eight hundred years of the fortune of the Shang Dynasty. Furthermore, the Chan Sect assisted Xiqi. In an instant, the fortune of the Shang Dynasty plummeted, and its destruction was probably not far away.

Who would have thought that at this very moment, the fortune of Shang Tang would increase instead of decrease, clearly indicating that another variable had occurred in this great calamity!

Thinking of this, she immediately began to deduce, and soon a hint of doubt appeared on her face.

The secrets of heaven are obscure and as chaotic as the sky, and not even a single trace of information can be deduced.

"Oh? There's another variable in this great calamity?"

In the Jade Void Palace, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had auspicious clouds above his head, with endless pure light descending from them. The Pangu Banner in his hand rustled and transformed into boundless and terrifying chaotic sword energy. His whole body was surrounded by Jade Pure Holy Light, as if it were about to illuminate the entire universe.

During the reign of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the disciples of the Chan Sect committed a massacre. On the battlefield between Xuanyuan and Chiyou, they were blinded by evil energy and slaughtered many mortals.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem, but the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was extremely dangerous. Even the Primordial Heavenly Lord did not dare to be careless and kept a close eye on the great tribulation.

At this time, Shang Tang's fortune surged, and the great calamity brought about changes, which naturally made him value it highly.

However, no matter how Yuanshi Tianzun deduced, he felt that the secrets of heaven were obscure, and for a moment, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

At the Eight Views Palace on Shouyang Mountain, Laozi Taiqing was standing in front of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, fanning himself with his Sun Banana Leaf Fan, releasing a rich medicinal fragrance.

His gaze swept over Chaoge for a moment before quickly returning to its original direction.

Of the four ancient religions, the Others' Religion is the most transcendent.

After all, the Human Sect only has Grand Master Xuandu as its sole heir, and even if the Great Tribulation is extremely dangerous, he is confident that he can protect him.

Inside Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Sect Leader unleashed boundless sword intent, seemingly intent on cleaving apart the ancient and primordial world.

Deep within the Nanming volcano, there lived a stunningly beautiful and elegant woman exuding nobility.

For a time, the six sages of the primordial world and many great supernatural beings were all alarmed by the surge in Shang Tang's fortune. Some were puzzled, some were shocked, but most of them just watched coldly.

If it doesn't concern me, I'll stay out of it.

This great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has already involved the four major sects of the prehistoric world and the six sages of the Heavenly Dao. If they dare to interfere, they probably won't have enough lives to survive.

At this time, compared to the soaring fortune of Shang Tang...

Outside Chaoge City, on the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Ziya and the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect encountered a problem that gave them a headache.
