Admonition

Seeing the lingering fear on Daoist Zhengqing's face, Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun nodded inwardly and added fuel to the fire, "You probably don't know that forty thousand years ago, the Northern Plague-Bringing Envoy Yang Wenhui, the Central Pox God Yu De, the Lone Star Lord Yu Hua, and the Jiazi Grand Year Star Yang Ren, four venerable gods, once joined forces to fight against that Yellow Wind Old Monster, who gained the upper hand and retreated calmly. It is said that in that battle, it was all for his third brother, the Pure Serenity Lad, to seize a fortuitous opportunity."

If Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun had been talking about someone else, Daoist Zhengqing would still be confused and wouldn't be able to grasp how powerful they were, and might even be somewhat skeptical.

But these four are all renowned Orthodox God and star lords in the Heavenly Court, each possessing great Divine Ability, no less than their ancestor.

Even with the four of them working together, the Yellow Wind Old Monster still managed to gain the upper hand.

"How could there be such a vicious person!"

The Daoist Zhengqing's mouth was dry, and he had no other thoughts.

Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun and the Daoist Zhengqing grew increasingly frightened, their faces turning deathly pale. They seized the opportunity to say, "This Pure Serenity Lad is no pushover. Although I have mediated, there's no guarantee he won't cause trouble later. The Yellow Wind Old Monster is fiercely protective of his own; if we offend the younger one and the older one comes along, it'll be a disaster. Fellow Daoist, you'll be joining the Thunder Ministry sooner or later. Why not come to the Primordial Lord Hall sooner? You'll undoubtedly have a position as a divine general; wouldn't that be impressive?"

One hundred thousand years ago.

The Demon Dao overlord launched a surprise attack, severely injuring Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun, who nearly perished.

He narrowly escaped death, but his injuries were slow to heal. He was kept in the Primordial Lord Hall for a full 100,000 years to recuperate, and only recently has he been fully recovered.

An unexpected disaster wiped out all her wealth accumulated over millions of years, leaving her penniless.

What's even more hateful is that, as the ten thousand years passed, the six generals in the Primordial Lord Hall either resigned and lived carefree lives in seclusion, or found bright futures in other places.

Ten thousand years later, the once magnificent Primordial Lord Hall was left with only two generals struggling to hold it up.

Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun is currently in dire need of talent.

And Daoist Zhengqing was one of her targets for winning him over.

Firstly.

Daoist Zhengqing came from the Divine Empyrean Sect and was a descendant of Master Sa. Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun had also cultivated under Master Sa. Although they did not have a formal master-disciple relationship, he was regarded as a direct descendant of Master Sa in the Heavenly Court.

They are from the same school.

The loyalty of Daoist Zhengqing goes without saying; he is far more trustworthy than any Rogue Cultivator in the Immortal Realm.

Secondly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Daoist Zhengqing was beaten like a sandbag by Lu Qingfeng. That was only because Lu Qingfeng was too strong. He not only possessed Divine Ability powers but also had Spirit Treasure in his hands, which made the situation seem more like this. In reality, Daoist Zhengqing's cultivation and magical Law Power were absolutely top-tier among Earth Immortal. Even among the Fourth Realm of Earth Immortal, the Heavenly Realm, he could be considered one of the best.

The position of Heavenly Court General is quite tempting, but even top-tier Earth Immortal have limited openings. Those who actively seek to join are few in number, and the Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun) doesn't even consider it appealing. For the truly elite, the position of a Heavenly General is at least not very attractive, if not worthless.

For example, the Daoist Zhengqing.

As the leader of the Divine Empyrean Sect in the Southern Florescence Realm, Nine Cauldrons immense power and influence. It was precisely because of this that he possessed five supreme immortal Immortal Artifact.

How could someone of such stature possibly deign to take a mere divine general's position in the Primordial Lord Hall?

Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun originally only cast a wide net, and did not have much hope for Daoist Zhengqing.

But this time it was clearly a golden opportunity.

When the Daoist Zhengqing asked for help, the Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun descended to the mortal realm without hesitation.

"The Divine General of the Primordial Lord Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhengqing couldn't help but feel somewhat disheartened.

He understood that by asking this Yuanjun for help, he was essentially agreeing to the invitation.

However, the situation was critical at the time, and they dared not disturb the patriarch. They could only ask for help from Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun, with whom they had been in frequent contact recently.

At this moment, Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun brought it up, Daoist Zhengqing had already anticipated it, "However—"

Daoist Zhengqing looked up at Yuanjun beside him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The battle outside Seven Treasures Mountain resulted in the loss or damage of some of his treasures, and even his 'Hundred-Patch Demon-Subduing Robe' was damaged, with the Golden Tiger and Golden Dragon he had accumulated over countless years completely gone.

The other treasures are fine.

Such as the Spell Jujube, the Five-Brilliance Ghost-Subduing Fan, and the Ancestor Sa Iron Jar, these are all treasures he collected and had crafted by the Immortal Realm masters in the Southern Florescence Realm. Even if he were to resign from his position as the head of the Divine Firmament Sect in the Southern Hua Realm, these three treasures would still belong to him.

However, the Hundred-Patch Demon-Subduing Robe and the Divine Empyrean Sword were bestowed by Ancestor Sa and are tokens of the Divine Firmament Sect Master of this realm. Originally just ordinary immortal Immortal Artifact, they have become extraordinary in power after countless years and successive sect masters' refinement.

If one ascends to immortality, these two supreme treasures must be handed over to the next sect leader.

But right now.

The Hundred-Patch Demon-Subduing Robe was damaged, which was one thing, but it could be repaired, albeit at the cost of countless years. However, the Divine Empyrean Sword was simply destroyed. At this moment, even if he wanted to follow the Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun to serve at the Primordial Lord Hall, he probably wouldn't be able to leave.

"Yuanjun—"

The Daoist Zhengqing looked sorrowful as he gazed at the Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun.

Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun had a sudden realization.

"This is a troublesome matter."

She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke, making Daoist Zhengqing uneasy. "When I return to the Heavenly Court, I will go to the Illuminating Palace to explain this matter to the True Person on your behalf. With my intercession, there should be no problem. Once you arrive at the Primordial Lord Hall, what rare treasures can't you find while guarding the four directions? You can make up for it then. Once you have made some contributions, I will certainly not be stingy with immortal Immortal Artifact."

For Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun, Immortal Artifact were equally precious and rare. Daoist Zhengqing Daoren having achieved nothing, she was unwilling to bestow them lightly.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhengqing was somewhat disappointed.

His original intention was to have Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun retrieve the Five-Brilliance Ghost-Subduing Fan and Ancestor Sa Iron Jar from Lu Qingfeng and Daoist Jiyuan. In this way, Ancestor Sa Iron Jar could compensate for the Divine Empyrean Sword, Five-Brilliance Ghost-Subduing Fan would ensure that he wouldn't arrive at the Primordial Lord Hall empty-handed.

It's a pity.

Whether Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun failed to understand or deliberately ignored the request, he preferred to go to the Illuminating Palace to offer a forced smile rather than ask for the treasure on his behalf.

At this moment Daoist Zhengqing had no room for bargaining and could only force a smile and say, "Then this old Daoist thanks Yuanjun in advance. Once we receive the Ancestor Sa's Decree, we will go to the Primordial Lord Hall to await your command."

Without Sazu's permission, he dared not abandon the mess in the Southern Florescence Realm and leave.

"It will take at least three to five years, or at most a hundred years, before we hear news."

"You should focus on healing your injuries in seclusion these days, and leave all other affairs to the next sect leader."

This was because they were worried that if Daoist Zhengqing were to appear in public, it would attract the attention of the Pure Serenity Lad, which would not be a good thing.

Daoist Zhengqing nodded silently.

His injuries were quite severe, so naturally he dared not provoke anyone further. He was about to leave his post, so it was understandable that he wouldn't be too concerned about the affairs of the sect.

Seeing this, Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun was relieved. He then gave Daoist Zhengqing a final instruction, telling him to return Pure Serenity Lad's disciple as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble.

He then returned to the Immortal Realm.

Seven Treasures Mountain.

As the Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun and the Three Paths of the Divine Firmament departed, the Heavenly Mount Mao Dao Master Daoist Jiyuan descended from the clouds and landed outside Seven Treasures Mountain. He bowed to Lu Qingfeng and said loudly, "Jiyuan Mount Mao greets the God-Capturing General."

In the distance Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and Daoist Yuan Shan also came to their senses and stood on either side of Patriarch Jiyuan. They also bowed to Lu Qingfeng and said, "Greetings, General."

"Greetings, fellow Daoists."

"Lin Ye was just telling me that he has been able to stay safe and sound all these years thanks to the protection of fellow practitioners from Mount Mao. I thank you in advance."

Lu Qingfeng smiled when he saw the three of them.

"Lin Ye?"

Upon hearing this, San Dao looked at the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt behind Lu Qingfeng and suddenly realized, "So it's the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt."

Having known each other for over ten thousand years, the three of them only learned the fairy's real name today.

Seeing that the three men, especially the two Daoist priests on his left and right, relaxed, Lu Qingfeng smiled and said, "It's not convenient to talk outside. If the three of you have nothing else to say, why don't you come inside for a chat?"

Cheng Jin and Yuanshan looked at Daoist Jiyuan, who clapped his hands and laughed, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

So the group of five entered the mountain one by one.

Lu Qingfeng Daoist Jiyuan led the way, followed by Lin Ye, Cheng Jin, and Yuanshan. Qi Zhou, Cui Fengnian, and Zhongli Hu stayed outside Two-Qi Peak to look after the cultivators who had come to help their teacher.

The crisis is over.

Seven Treasures Mountain has welcomed an invincible figure, even the head of the Divine Firmament is no match for him, and he is showing signs of rising to power. Many cultivators want to befriend him, and many Rogue Cultivator even want to join his sect.

The atmosphere became lively.

Two-Qi Peak.

As soon as they entered the Polarity Hall, Daoist Jiyuan took out a mottled Iron Jar from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Qingfeng, saying, "This is the 'Ancestor Sa Iron Jar.' It was knocked out of the Heaven-Soaring by the general and Zhengqing during their fierce battle, and I happened to pick it up. Now I'm returning it to its rightful owner."

Cheng Jin and Yuanshan stared at the Iron Jar, their eyes lighting up. Although they were immortal masters, their qualifications were still shallow, their cultivation days were short, and their wealth was limited. They did not yet possess an Immortal Artifact.

The 'Ancestor Sa Iron Jar' in front of us is a treasure crafted by the sect leader of Divine Firmament Sect, who sought out the ancestor of the upper realm.

It is not only Immortal Artifact, but also far superior to ordinary Immortal Artifact. It has been refined over a long period of time, and its power is unimaginable.

Seeing the patriarch bow and hand over the prize, the two felt a pang in their hearts.

He felt a pang of pain, yet dared not entertain even the slightest greed.

You must understand, this young Daoist priest before us almost killed the dignified leader of the Divine Firmament Divine Firmament just now. Treasures may be valuable, but clearly, life is more precious.

"Returning the item to its rightful owner?"

Lu Qingfeng glanced at the mottled Iron Jar, then looked at Daoist Jiyuan. This leader of Mount Mao was quite a remarkable person. However, there was no reason to take back a treasure that had been given away. Lu Qingfeng pushed the Ancestor Sa Iron Jar back and shook his head, saying, "This item was sent flying into the Heaven-Soaring and is now an unclaimed treasure. It will naturally belong to someone with the right destiny."

Regardless.

Lin Ye was ultimately able to survive until now only because he was under the protection of Mount Mao Dao. Although he has made some contributions and worked hard over the years, they are obviously far less important than the safety of his life.

Those who cultivate immortality fear karma the most.

Now, Lu Qingfeng's gift of the 'Ancestor Sa Iron Jar' is more than enough to settle Lin Ye's karmic debts.

"This--"

Daoist Jiyuan looked at Lu Qingfeng.

Not long ago, he had been wondering about Lu Qingfeng's motives for giving him the Ancestor Sa Iron Jar, thinking it was a malicious act. But after witnessing firsthand how even the Thunder Ministry God was wary of this young Daoist, he realized he had misunderstood.

Since it's not about driving away tigers and wolves, then—

"This Daoist priest is so protective of his disciple?"

Daoist Jiyuan glanced at the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt without changing his expression.

Cheng Jin Yuanshan quickly realized the meaning behind Lu Qingfeng's actions. For a moment, a strange light appeared in their eyes as they looked at Lin Ye.

For a disciple who is less than a hundred years old, they are willing to give up a supreme Immortal Artifact. How can one not be envious?

Daoist Jiyuan's thoughts raced, he saw that the Spirit-Capturing Great General was resolute and not at all modest. In the end, he was reluctant to part with him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, this old Daoist is ashamed to accept your offer."

After saying that, seeing Lu Qingfeng nod with a smile, Daoist Jiyuan was relieved and put away the Ancestor Sa Iron Jar.

His eyes couldn't hide his joy.

This Ancestor Sa Iron Jar is indeed a valuable treasure. If an ordinary person obtained it, they would have to worry about retaliation from the Divine Empyrean Sect. But as the leader of the Mount Mao Dao, he was not afraid at all.

Having obtained a priceless treasure Daoist Jiyuan couldn't help but beam with joy, and immediately became even more lively.

After chatting with Lu Qingfeng for a while, he left with Cheng Jin and Yuanshan.
