Primordial Era: Mistaking the Jade Emperor for My Son at the Start

"Okay. How about this: you dig the holes, I'll plant the seedlings, and the little girl can help water them," Zhang Yifan said with a smile, nodding. He found it quite filial that his great-grandchildren, despite their luxurious clothes, were willing to work in the fields.

"Deal."

Zhao Gongming was overjoyed. How could he miss such an opportunity to get closer to a super-powered being like Zhang Yifan?

As he spoke, Zhao Gongming reached out to take Zhang Yifan's hoe.

Thump!

The moment he took the hoe, Zhao Gongming was pulled down by its immense weight and fell to the ground.

He took a tumble, landing face-first in the dirt.

The San Xiao sisters and the others were startled.

What the—!

What's going on?!

Why did he just fall over?!

Chapter 36: The Hoe: I'm a Great Dao Artifact, You Know

Zhao Gongming had only wanted to take a hoe, and yet he had fallen to the ground.

Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao were all stunned.

What's happening? On such flat ground, how could he fall?

He's the outermost disciple of a Sect Master and Sage, isn't he? Is he really this embarrassing?

"Oh dear, Brother Ming, be careful," Yunxiao said, reaching out to help Zhao Gongming up.

But no matter how hard she pulled, Zhao Gongming's hand, pinned by the hoe, wouldn't budge, and he couldn't get up.

Zhao Gongming was also frustrated.

What the heck? I just took a hoe, and now I'm on the ground.

The worst part is this hoe feels like Mount Tai crushing a mortal. No matter how hard I try, how much I strain, I can't lift it!

Yunxiao also tried to lift the hoe, but she couldn't move it either.

At this point, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and the others were utterly shocked.

My goodness, a single hoe is pinning down several late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals? Can you believe this?

This great-grandfather is truly amazing!

"What's wrong with you guys?" Zhang Yifan asked, startled when Zhao Gongming suddenly fell.

"Grandpa, your hoe is too heavy. We can't lift it," Zhao Gongming said, his face red with shame.

"Huh?" Zhang Yifan was surprised. "It's just an ordinary hoe, isn't it? Are these kids so frail? They can't even lift a hoe? Looks like they need to build up their strength."

"Oh dear, my poor great-grandson."

Zhang Yifan shook his head repeatedly, intending to help Zhao Gongming up. He cursed, "This darn hoe, it actually made my great-grandson fall! Tonight, I'll chop it up for firewood to cook with."

Buzz...

The hoe trembled slightly, its spirit crying out in terror.

"Don't burn me! Don't burn me, Master! I was wrong, Master! I won't dare again, Master, please spare me!"

"Please, all of you, beg Master for me! I'm a Great Dao Artifact, you know. I can kill beings of the Heavenly Dao. I don't want to die."

The spirit of the Great Dao Artifact hoe pleaded for mercy. However, only Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, the Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, and the others could hear this voice; Zhang Yifan did not.

Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Sect Master Tongtian, and the others were greatly alarmed.

So it's a Great Dao Artifact! No wonder it's so heavy! It can actually kill the Heavenly Dao? My goodness, such a powerful hoe?! It's that terrifying. Zhang Yifan is probably more than just a Great Dao Sage!

This kind of treasure must be protected. How can I let Great-Grandfather chop it up for firewood?

At the same time, the hoe instantly became much lighter, as if it weighed nothing.

Zhao Gongming had been straining with all his might to pull himself up, determined to stand. But the hoe suddenly became light, and with his excessive force, he tumbled backward again.

"???"

What the...

Zhao Gongming was speechless.

Yunxiao and the others were also helpless.

Sect Master Tongtian and the Jade Emperor looked at the group strangely.

"Damn it, what's going on with this broken hoe!" Zhang Yifan was very confused.

"That son of a bitch dared to play tricks on my great-grandson and great-granddaughter, this is outrageous!"

Zhang Yifan was angry. He remembered that the hoe was given by the dog system, so it must be the dog system causing trouble. He reached out, grabbed the hoe, held it with both hands, lifted his right foot up sharply, and pressed the hoe down hard. With a snap, the wooden handle of the hoe broke.

He then threw it aside fiercely.

"Ah!"

A scream reached the ears of Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and the others, and then there was silence.

They could clearly feel that the Great Dao Artifact spirit was dead!

My god!

A Great Dao Artifact was so easily broken?

A supreme treasure that could kill the Heavenly Dao was destroyed just like that?

Doesn't Great-Grandpa care about treasures at all?

Is Great-Grandpa this fierce?

Breaking a Great Dao Artifact with his bare hands?!

Oh my god, what the hell!

It was terrifying.

Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao were all terrified, and immense waves surged in their hearts.

This was too terrifying!

And also, this was too extravagant.

What about that Great Dao Artifact, it was just thrown away like trash?!

The Kirin Ancestor, the big black dog, also happened to see this scene. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself, "Senior Hoe, may you rest in peace. I will definitely spread the glorious deeds of you digging off a Sage's head with a hoe."

"Great-Grandpa, I'm fine. It was just an accident. I haven't exercised much lately and haven't done any farm work. Please forgive me." Zhao Gongming quickly got up, patted his butt, and bowed to Zhang Yifan.

"It's good that you're fine. You little thing, you need to eat more meat and grow stronger. Tonight, Great-Grandpa will stew a big pot of delicious food for you all." Zhang Yifan also helped pat Zhao Gongming's butt, brushing off some dirt and dust.

"That's great, Great-Grandpa. My uncle said your cooking is super amazing!"

Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and the others clapped their hands and cheered happily.

"Hahaha, of course, cooking is my specialty."

"Leave the gardening to your uncles and the others. You kids just go play."

"Okay, Great-Grandpa!" Zhao Gongming jumped up happily like a child and ran off.

If he didn't run now, he might lose face again later!

If word got out, how would he survive in the Primordial Era?

Bixiao and Qiongxiao also ran off with him.

Only Yunxiao hadn't run yet. She looked at Zhang Yifan a little shyly, "Great-Grandpa, can you give me that hoe?"
