Primordial Era: All-Conceptual-Level Weapon Forging, Whoever Uses It Will Die.

Kunlun Mountain, Bajing Palace, through the Water Mirror Technique.

The Tongtian Sect Leader clearly saw the menacing and murderous appearance of Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun.

Especially Zhen Yuanzi's expression, clutching his buttocks and looking like he was about to kill someone, made even a saint like him feel a little guilty.

"Holy crap, why are these two nice guys so angry?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader rolled his eyes, and without saying a word, lay down on the prayer mat.

With limbs outstretched and eyes closed, he instantly entered a state of feigning death.

"Big brother, second brother!"

"When Zhen Yuanzi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun arrive later, just tell them I'm asleep!"

"Don't let them in, no matter how much you call them or they won't wake up!"

Yuanshi Tianzun stared blankly at his younger brother on the ground, who bore no resemblance to a saint, his lips twitching wildly.

"Reaching for the heavens..."

Do you even believe what you're saying?

"That's hilarious! The saint is asleep? Why don't you just say you've been possessed by a nightmare?"

"Can you come up with a plausible reason?"

"Even if you said you went into seclusion and suffered a qi deviation, it would still be better than this!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable scolded him with a look of disappointment.

"Moreover, your disciple Zhao Gongming hasn't done anything heinous, it's just that... the magic weapon has a slightly larger side effect."

"Can't you take some responsibility and step forward to explain things clearly?"

"Even if it's unreasonable, you're a saint, what are you afraid of?!"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader sprang to his feet with a swift movement, his face beaming with excitement.

"yes!"

"I'm a saint, what do I have to fear?!"

"I will now unleash the Four Swords of Zhuxian and place them at the entrance of the Eight Trigrams Palace!"

"Let's see who dares to come in and cause trouble. I'll teach them a lesson they won't tolerate!"

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't hold back any longer. Disregarding his image, he raised a foot and kicked Tongtian away.

"You bastard!"

Yuanshi's forehead was covered in black lines, and his beard was trembling with anger.

"I told you to explain yourself properly, didn't you hear me?!"

"His mind is full of unreasonable solutions!"

"Zhen Yuanzi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun are both well-known good-natured people in the prehistoric world. What do you want to do? Kill them?"

"Don't tarnish the reputation of our Three Pure Ones! Get up and go greet them!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader rubbed his backside as he got up, muttering aggrievedly.

"Just welcome them, why kick them..."

At this moment, Lao Tzu, who had been silent until now, coughed twice and waved his whisk.

"Alright, the person has arrived."

"Come with me to greet them; let's not be impolite."

……

Outside the Eight Views Palace, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun had just landed with Zhao Gongming when they saw the Three Pure Ones emerge together.

Zhen Yuanzi was about to lose his temper and question the Tongtian Sect members about their lack of skill.

Before he could even speak...

The Tongtian Sect Leader rushed forward, grasped Zhen Yuanzi's hand, and said with a pained and sincere expression.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, I was wrong!"

"I was so wrong!"

"If it weren't for my good-for-nothing disciple crafting that despicable magic weapon, how could you have gotten your buttocks injured, fellow Daoist?"

"I heard that one finger strike split your buttocks open?"

"Does it still hurt? Is your butt okay?"

"Oh dear, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline my disciple well, and my fellow Daoist suffered in his bottom!"

The Master of Heaven kept calling it "buttocks."

With each repetition, Zhen Yuanzi's face darkened further, and his body trembled.

Is this an apology?

This is clearly a public execution!

"Stop! Stop!"

Zhen Yuanzi quickly waved his hand, his face flushed red, feeling ashamed and indignant.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, there's no need to say any more!"

"I've already seen my senior's attitude, there's really no need to bring up the butt issue again!"

"Let's put this behind us, okay?!"

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was no longer pursuing the matter, the Tongtian Sect Leader finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to laugh and scold Zhao Gongming.

"You brat, what a mess you've made of me!"

"Hurry up and apologize to your Uncle-Master Zhen Yuanzi!"

Zhao Gongming stood aside, facing his master's scolding with a calm expression. He even straightened his sleeves and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Master, you are mistaken."

"If I don't cause trouble, how can I demonstrate Master's problem-solving abilities?"

"This disciple is creating an opportunity for Master to shine!"

These words were spoken.

The entire room fell silent.

Sanqing, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi were all stunned.

After carefully considering it, the group actually felt... that it actually made a lot of sense?

"Cough cough."

Lao Tzu broke the silence, smiling and shaking his head.

"You slippery fellow, you certainly have a silver tongue."

"Fellow Daoists, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, why don't we go to the Eight Trigrams Palace for a chat?"

……

Inside the Eight Views Palace, all the saints took their seats.

Zhao Gongming obediently served tea and water, acting as a waiter.

After a few cups of Enlightenment Tea, the atmosphere eased considerably.

Zhen Yuanzi coughed twice, and although his buttocks were still aching slightly, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Although that magic weapon is a bit unorthodox, it must be said that Junior Nephew Zhao's talent in the art of weapon crafting is indeed rare in the primordial world."

"If someone can forge a magical artifact that ignores defense and locks onto cause and effect, given time, they will surely become a great force."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader immediately puffed out his chest proudly, as if he himself were being praised.

"That's right, doesn't he know whose apprentice he is!"

At this moment, Ancestor Hongyun asked with some doubt.

"My three senior brothers, I have a question."

"Logically speaking, now that the great calamity of the Lich King has begun, the calamity energy in the world should be getting heavier and heavier."

"But why is it that as I've traveled this far, I've discovered that the calamity energy in the world is beginning to dissipate, and even showing signs of receding?"

Laozi smiled slightly and pointed to Zhao Gongming, who was pouring tea.

"This matter is also thanks to Gongming."

"He used a magical artifact to resolve the conflict between humans and demons."

"This has given Di Jun and Di Jiang, those two mortal enemies... well, they now have something in common."

"Even the dragons have greatly increased in strength with his help and are no longer troubled by karma."

"It can be said that he single-handedly suppressed the impending catastrophe and brought peace to the primordial world until now."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi were filled with awe and couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.

"This is a great merit, a truly great merit!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly made a suggestion.

"Senior brothers, now that the calamity has dissipated, the primordial world is at peace for the time being."

"How about the three senior brothers take the lead and create a Kunlun Sacred Codex?"

"Since the teachings were passed down at Zixiao Palace, many fellow disciples have not seen each other for many years."

"They either founded their own sect or went into seclusion to cultivate their skills."

"Take this opportunity to gather the quasi-saints and powerful beings of the primordial world and lead their disciples."

"Coming to Kunlun to discuss the Dao, let's relive the glory of Zixiao Palace!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh.

"Great idea! I love a lively atmosphere!"

Yuanshi Tianzun also nodded slightly.

"This move can demonstrate the majesty of our Xuanmen sect and broaden the horizons of our disciples. Excellent."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lao Tzu nodded.

"good."

"Then, in our name, we shall send out invitations to all the great beings of the primordial world to come to Kunlun."

Then, Laozi looked at Zhao Gongming.

"Gongming, I'll leave this matter to you."

"He is responsible for calling all the disciples of the four sects back to Kunlun to prepare for the grand ceremony."

"Disciple obeys!"

……

With the decree issued by the sage, the once quiet and deserted Kunlun Mountain instantly became bustling with activity.

Countless disciples of the three religions who had been training abroad returned one after another.

Even the disciples of the Western religion refused to leave.

After finishing his preparations, Zhao Gongming returned to his cave to prepare for some secluded meditation.

Boom boom boom!

A series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

"Senior brother, Senior Brother Gongming, open the door!"

Zhao Gongming opened the door and saw Huanglong Zhenren standing at the door with an excited and radiant face.

She was also holding a jade box that exuded a strong ethereal aura.

"Senior Brother Huanglong, what makes you so happy?"

Huang Long said excitedly.

"Senior brother, I have money now—no, I have materials!"

"My master suddenly summoned me just now. Not only did he not scold me, but he also praised me for doing well and rewarded me with a top-grade rare treasure!"

"I've come specifically to ask my senior brother for help in crafting a magical artifact!"

"At this Kunlun Sacred Ceremony, with all the immortals gathering, I, Huanglong, am determined to make a name for myself!"

"Let everyone know I'm not some nobody!"

Seeing Huang Long's high spirits, Zhao Gongming took the jade box and opened it.

Inside was a rope that emitted multicolored light and seemed capable of binding everything...?
