Under the watchful eyes of many, Gu Xi used Heavenly Punishment to trick and kill five Golden Immortal level Gods and Demons. This made the many observing beings even more deeply aware of Gu Xi's identity as the "God of Misfortune."

Even some Primordial Ancient Gods and God and Demon Dao Lords in Buzhou Mountain, who were alerted by the Heavenly Punishment, began to pay attention to Gu Xi.

Originally, for a mere Heavenly Immortal like Gu Xi, no matter how much trouble he caused, it would be difficult to attract the attention of these Primordial Ancient Gods and God and Demon Dao Lords.

After all, a mere Heavenly Immortal was not worth mentioning to them.

But the consecutive killing of nine Golden Immortals by Gu Xi with the help of Heavenly Punishment forced them to take notice.

Golden Immortals were actually not weak.

Although the Primordial Era was filled with countless beings, numbering in the hundreds of trillions, it was unlikely that even one Golden Immortal would be born among them.

To become a Golden Immortal, one needed talent, comprehension, opportunity, Destiny/Fortune, and more, all of which were indispensable.

In many God and Demon tribes of the Primordial Era, Golden Immortals were revered as ancestors.

The reason Buzhou Mountain had so many Golden Immortals was precisely because it was Buzhou Mountain, and the legacy of Pangu existed here, making it arguably the most suitable place for beings to cultivate in the Primordial Era.

In other regions, across vast mountain ranges and rivers spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, there might not even be a single Golden Immortal.

Therefore, Golden Immortals were, in fact, beings of noble status.

This could be seen simply from the fact that the Twelve True Inheritors of the Heavenly Origin Sect in later generations were known as the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Now, with the sudden fall of nine Golden Immortals in the Buzhou Mountain region, how could those Primordial Ancient Gods and God and Demon Dao Lords not be shocked?

Especially since the way these nine Golden Immortals died was so "frustrating" and "strange."

They were all ruthlessly killed by Heavenly Punishment simply for attacking a Heavenly Immortal.

"Could it be that this peculiar Heavenly Immortal was truly born with the 'Primordial Tribulation Fortune Great Dao' as the God of Misfortune, and anyone who approaches him will be infected by his bad luck, leading to their death by Heavenly Punishment?" Many Primordial Ancient Gods and God and Demon Dao Lords mused in their hearts, marking Gu Xi, the "God of Misfortune," in their minds.

They were not afraid of Gu Xi, this Heavenly Immortal, but they also developed a desire to keep their distance.

In a Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, Fuxi and Nuwa were also watching Gu Xi's figure through a light screen.

The scene of the Sea of Thunder descending not long ago and killing the five Golden Immortals had also been witnessed by them.

"Elder Brother, do you think this Heavenly Immortal is truly a God of Misfortune?" Nuwa asked Fuxi with a smile.

"This Heavenly Immortal, how should I put it..."

"Although his Heavenly Secrets still seem to be largely obscured by the Heavenly Dao, I can still deduce that he is a person of extremely prosperous Destiny/Fortune. He doesn't look like a God of Misfortune at all..."

"It's just that the nine Golden Immortals who attacked him were all incredibly unlucky and killed by Heavenly Punishment. This is truly very strange." Fuxi said with a peculiar expression.

He had roamed the Primordial Era for countless years and encountered more beings than he could count, yet this was his first time encountering a being as unique as Gu Xi.

"This Heavenly Immortal is very special. I am interested in him," Nuwa chuckled lightly, deciding to keep a close watch on Gu Xi for a period of time.

"Fellow Daoists, I have acquired another Primordial Spiritual Treasure and four Acquired Spiritual Treasures. Aren't you tempted?"

"I, Gu Xi, have always been sincere with others. Look, I have displayed two Primordial Spiritual Treasures and eight Acquired Spiritual Treasures before you all, without any reservation..."

"Fellow Daoists, although many Spiritual Treasures are born in the Primordial Era, there are far more God and Demon powerhouses in the Primordial Era. With more monks than rice, Spiritual Treasures are hard to come by!"

"I, Gu Xi, a mere Heavenly Immortal, feel unworthy of these Magic Treasures and am willing to sacrifice myself to fulfill the destined ones among you!"

"Come one, come all, don't miss out. As the saying goes, if Heaven offers, but you refuse, you will suffer the consequences. Fellow Daoists, why are you still hesitating?"

"Action is better than contemplation! As long as you have enough courage, you can take home eight Spiritual Treasures!"

"Look, this 'Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror' is a Low-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure with twelve Innate Restrictions. Once refined, it can release the Six Yang Divine Fire capable of burning mountains and boiling seas. It is definitely an essential item for self-protection and defending the Dao."

"And this one, named 'Ice Soul Divine Needle,' is also a Low-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. Tsk tsk, this Spiritual Treasure is extraordinary. It contains Primordial Profound Ice Qi, can change size at will, moves almost invisibly, and is specifically designed to damage a person's physical body and Primordial Spirit. A single stab with it, and even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal might not be able to withstand it."

"And this 'Geng Jin Tiangang Sword,' although its power is somewhat inferior to the aforementioned two Primordial Spiritual Treasures, its might is still quite impressive. With one swing, it unleashes billions of Geng Metal Sword Qi, which is a good Magic Treasure for killing enemies..."

"I don't want you all to regret this years from now: 'Once, eight Magic Treasures were placed before me, and I did not cherish them. Only after missing them did I deeply regret it. There is no greater pain in the world than this. If Heaven could give me another chance to start over—I would act immediately!'"

"Fellow Daoists, you are all virtuous Gods and Demons. I hope you will never regret your actions today."

"What are you waiting for? Come on, take action, they are all yours!"

At this moment, above the ruins of the collapsed Sea of Thunder, Gu Xi was like a salesperson frantically hawking their wares, displaying all eight Spiritual Treasures and promoting his products to the surrounding Gods and Demons.

From time to time, his face would reveal an expression of "eager to die" and "self-sacrifice for others."

It was as if he had lived enough and only wished for death, and whoever killed him could inherit his eight Magic Treasures.

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Such a "bizarre" scene stunned the numerous Gods and Demons around, as well as the Primordial Ancient Gods and God and Demon Dao Lords observing from a distance.

Everyone expressed, "We've lived for so long, what great storms haven't we weathered?"

But...

This was the first time they had seen such a bizarre scene.

"Damn it, the Old Ancestor is tempted by what he said. That's a full eight Magic Treasures, including two Primordial Spiritual Treasures. It's indeed not something a Heavenly Immortal should possess; it's destined to be mine."

"That's right, so many Magic Treasures, take whatever you want. I ask you, where else in the Primordial Era is there such an opportunity?"

"What this Heavenly Immortal Gu Xi said seems to make sense. If we miss out on eight Magic Treasures just like that, I might very well regret today's actions later."

"Don't be rash, Fellow Daoists, please don't be rash. Do you dare to believe the words of the 'God of Misfortune'? Haven't you seen the previous five Fellow Daoists? There's nothing left of them now."

"Yes, Fellow Daoists, don't fall for it. This 'God of Misfortune' Gu Xi must have cultivated the 'Primordial Tribulation Fortune Great Dao'. Now, he's definitely trying to trap and kill us, practice his Great Dao, and increase his understanding of the Great Dao."

Many Gods and Demons were stirred by Gu Xi's bizarre performance.

But in the end, no one dared to make a move—after all, those five Golden Immortals just now were gone without a trace.

"I've learned something new!"

Many Primordial Ancient Gods and God and Demon Dao Lords, who were watching from afar, exclaimed this in their hearts, having been shocked by the scene today.

Fuxi and Nuwa both twitched at the corners of their mouths upon seeing this.

They felt a sense of speechlessness.

"This Heavenly Immortal Gu Xi is an interesting person!"

Nuwa's lips curved slightly, revealing a smile. She became even more interested in Gu Xi in the light screen.

"Sigh, it seems my reputation is ruined, and it's hard to attract clients... It's not easy to earn a living!"

Gu Xi scanned his surroundings, looking at the many Gods and Demons who remained unmoved, and secretly sighed, "Times are tough."
