Primordial Lord Takes Shen Gongbao as a Disciple

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, his Surrounding Body radiating Daoist Dao Rhyme, his eyes closed, as he devoted himself to deducing the ethereal secrets of Heavenly Secrets.

Over the years, he has tried countless times to find the Person destined for the Tribulation to face That One calamity, bearing the "Auspicious sign of a flying bear."

But each time, they came up empty-handed.

The secrets of Heavenly Secrets Chaos, like an abyss shrouded in thick fog, impossible to fathom.

Although he knew that this simulation would most likely end in failure, just like countless others before.

But he still wanted to try again.

With the Tribulation approaching, he could not find peace of mind until he found the Person destined for the Tribulation to face it.

However, just as he was about to give up...

Unexpected changes occurred!

The Heavenly Secrets, which had always been shrouded in mystery, suddenly showed a barely perceptible loosening.

A piece of information about the Person destined for the Tribulation flashed by like a shooting star in his deductions.

The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable was greatly shaken and suddenly opened his eyes.

Although that glimmer of Heavenly Secrets was faint and fleeting, how could he, as Saint, miss it!

Found it!

Finally, a clue!

This did not disappoint him; on the contrary, it excited him greatly.

This is the first time in all these years that he has obtained concrete information about the Person destined for the Tribulation!

The Yuanshi Tianzun dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately immersed himself in it, trying his best to capture that fleeting glimpse of Heavenly Secrets.

The Saint unleashed his full power, and within the Jade Void Palace, time and space seemed to freeze at that moment.

The cycle of Heavenly Dao turns, Karma intertwine.

Endless Dao Rhyme flowed from his fingertips, the past and the future were all in his palm.

Following the mysterious threads of Karma and Netherworld, he deduced with all his might.

Finally, a blurry image slowly took shape in his mind.

A moment later, an irrepressible look of joy appeared on Yuanshi Tianzun's face.

The deduction has been completed!

He actually managed to deduce the exact location of the Person destined for the Tribulation!

"Huh?"

Yuanshi Tianzun let out a soft exclamation, his face beaming with even greater joy.

"This Person destined for the Tribulation is actually near my Kunlun Mountain!"

This discovery delighted him.

"Hahaha! Indeed, destiny has Clarify Sect!"

"It is fitting that I, the Clarify Sect, should take charge of this great undertaking of the Investiture of the Gods!"

"Tongtian, no matter how many Jie Sect Disciple has, or Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage pay homage, what good is it?"

"The power to bestow Investiture of the Gods will ultimately fall into the hands of my Clarify Sect!"

Without a moment's hesitation, he took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared into the Jade Void Palace.

They vowed to take the Person destined for the Tribulation under their wing as soon as possible!

Edge of the Kunlun Mountain.

Dao Body emerged from the void; it was none other than Yuanshi Tianzun.

His Saint Divine Sense spread out, and he instantly locked onto that special Fortune that was faintly connected to the secrets of Heavenly Secrets.

Soon, he found a Daoist priest meditating and breathing exercises by a mountain stream.

However, when Yuanshi Tianzun saw the person's True Body, the smile on his face instantly froze.

That was... a demon?

A leopard that has become a demon?

How could it be a demon?

A creature with fur and horns, born from moisture and hatched from eggs?

Is this the one chosen by Heavenly Dao, bearing the "Auspicious sign of a flying bear," Person destined for the Tribulation?

How is that possible!

The first thought of Yuanshi Tianzun was disbelief.

"Could it be that my deduction was wrong?"

The thought flashed through his mind.

But he immediately denied it.

As Saint, how could he possibly make a mistake when he has devoted himself to deduction?

He carefully sensed it again, and the "Auspicious sign of a flying bear" Fortune connected to the Tribulation was indeed falling on this demon, without the slightest deviation.

He was the Person destined for the Tribulation.

Yuanshi Tianzun stood still, falling silent for a moment.

To accept or not to accept?

If we don't accept it, wouldn't we be wasting this incredible opportunity?

If we accept it...

The thought of taking a demon as a disciple filled Yuanshi Tianzun with unease.

The Clarify Sect of Yuanshi Tianzun always emphasizes Foundation, fortune, and comprehension when accepting disciples; each one is an outstanding individual among humans and a leader among immortals.

Now, for the sake of this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, are they going to make an exception and take in a Leopard Spirit?

His pride and his principles made it difficult for him to accept for a while.

But...

If they don't accept it, and Tongtian gets there first, then the Interception Sect will seize the initiative in this Tribulation.

At that time, his Clarify Sect will be in grave danger!

For the future of the Clarify Sect, for victory in this Tribulation...

In the heart of Yuanshi Tianzun, there was a Inner Struggle and man.

Meanwhile, the Daoist priest who was meditating had already sensed the arrival of the Yuanshi Tianzun.

He opened his eyes, and the moment he saw Yuanshi Tianzun, his mind was shaken.

The person before him possessed an extraordinary temperament and Dao Rhyme aura. Just by standing there quietly, he felt an urge to bow down and worship.

This is an unimaginably Great Powers!

Shen Gongbao was overwhelmed with emotion. He wanted to immediately step forward to strike up a conversation and make friends.

But when he saw the unpredictable expression on Yuanshi Tianzun, he felt a sudden chill.

He immediately suppressed his little scheme.

In the face of such an existence, any attempt at cleverness is tantamount to suicide.

He dared not say or move more.

They could only tactfully stand still, heads bowed, respectfully waiting for the other party to speak.

He was terrified that he might say something wrong and displease this Great Powers, who could then slap him to death with a single blow.

That would be such a misunderstanding.

Time slipped away, bit by bit, in this eerie silence.

For Shen Gongbao, every breath felt as long as an entire Eon.

Just when he was about to succumb to the invisible pressure, the Yuanshi Tianzun finally spoke.

"May I have your name?"

This simple sentence invigorated Shen Gongbao, who immediately bowed and replied.

"Reporting to Senior, I am Shen Gongbao, paying my respects to you."

The gaze of the Yuanshi Tianzun lingered on him for a long time before finally making a decision.

For the sake of the Clarify Sect, and for the victory in this Tribulation.

Personal likes and dislikes must ultimately be set aside.

"I am the Yuqing Saint, the Yuanshi Tianzun."

"Now that I see you have a master-disciple relationship with me, I wish to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

These words, like Divine Thunder from the heavens, exploded in Shen Gongbao's mind.

What?

Yuqing Saint?

Yuanshi Tianzun?

You want to take me as your apprentice?

Shen Gongbao was completely stunned and could hardly believe his ears.

Happiness came so suddenly!

He was a lowly, helpless, wandering demon.

To be able to Form Transformation and cultivate some meager skills in this cruel and Primordial Wilderness is already an immense stroke of luck.

Who would have thought that one day I would become a disciple of Saint!

This is Saint!

With this new identity, who would dare look down on him in the future?

Shen Gongbao kowtowed heavily to the ground without any hesitation.

"Yes! Yes! This disciple is willing!"

"Disciple Shen Gongbao greets Master!"

He shouted and kowtowed desperately, as if afraid that the Yuanshi Tianzun would change his mind.

Seeing his excited and out-of-control appearance, the last trace of hesitation in Yuanshi Tianzun's heart was finally replaced by cold rationality.

That's enough.

As long as we can control the Person destined for the Tribulation, what does a little face matter?

Everything is for the purpose of the Clarify Sect.

"Good."

"Now that you have become my disciple, come with me back to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain."

Shen Gongbao was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately kowtowed again.

"Yes, Master!"

Yuanshi Tianzun said no more, and with a wave of his sleeve, he swept up Shen Gongbao from the ground, transforming him into a Golden Light that instantly disappeared from the spot.

Amidst the Golden Light, Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Shen Gongbao beside him, who was still in a state of ecstasy and even somewhat at a loss, and felt a chill in his heart.

Although he took this demon as his disciple, he would never allow him to become his Direct Disciple.

Once we return to the Jade Void Palace, we will register him as Named Disciple under our tutelage.

In the future, it will only be used as a tool to cope with calamities.

After the Tribulation has passed, whether he lives or dies will no longer be of any concern to him.

Feeling the howling wind rushing past his ears and the extreme speed, Shen Gongbao still felt like he was dreaming.

I... I actually became a disciple of Saint?

From this day forward, Shen Gongbao is now a demon with Foundation and a powerful patron!

Meanwhile, Yuanshi Tianzun, accompanied by Shen Gongbao, quickly returned to the Jade Void Palace.

Now that the Person destined for the Tribulation has been taken in, the next step is to go to the Purple Cloud Palace and retrieve the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip from the Dao Ancestor.

This matter should be handled sooner rather than later; let's go now.
