Zhao Gongming just wanted to pick up a hoe, but he ended up falling to the ground.

Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao were all stunned.

What was going on? How could he trip on such flat ground?

He was the eldest disciple of a Sect Master and a Saint, wasn't this embarrassing?

"Oh dear, Brother Ming, be careful."

Yunxiao said, moving 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? He just wanted to pick up a hoe, and it sent him crashing to the ground.

The worst part was that the hoe felt like Mount Tai pressing down on a mortal; no matter how much he struggled or strained, he couldn't move 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.

Good heavens, a single hoe had pinned several powerful beings at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm? Could you believe it?

Great Grandfather was truly amazing.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Zhang Yifan was also taken aback when Zhao Gongming suddenly fell.

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

"Huh?" Zhang Yifan was surprised. It was just an ordinary hoe, wasn't it?

Were these kids so frail?

They couldn't even lift a hoe?

It seemed like they needed to be nourished.

"Oh dear, my poor great grandson."

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

Buzz...

The hoe trembled slightly, and its spirit cried 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!"

"Quick, help me beg the Master! I am, after all, a Great Dao Artifact, capable of slaying the Heavenly Dao. I don't want to die."

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

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

So it was a Great Dao Artifact, no wonder it was so heavy!

It was capable of slaying the Heavenly Dao?

My goodness, such an amazing hoe?!

It was so terrifying.

Zhang Yifan was likely more than just a Great Dao Saint!

This kind of good item had to be protected, how could they let Great Grandfather chop it up for firewood?

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

Zhao Gongming had been straining with all his might to pull upwards, determined to stand up, but the hoe suddenly became light and nimble. Zhao Gongming, having exerted too much force, stumbled backward again.

"???"

What the...

Zhao Gongming was speechless.

Yunxiao and the others were also helpless.

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

"What the hell is going on with this damn hoe!" Zhang Yifan was puzzled.

"You son of a bitch, daring to mess with my great grandson and great granddaughter, this is outrageous!"

Zhang Yifan was furious. Remembering that the hoe was given by the dog system, he assumed the dog system was causing trouble. He reached out, grabbed the hoe, held it with both hands, stomped his right foot up, and pressed down hard with the hoe. With a crack, the wooden handle of the hoe snapped.

He then threw it aside fiercely.

"Ah!"

A scream reached the ears of Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and the others, and then it went silent.

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

Unbelievable!

A Great Dao Artifact was so easily broken?

A supreme treasure that could slay the Heavenly Dao, destroyed just like that?

Doesn't Great Grandfather care about treasures at all?

Is Great Grandfather this fierce?

Snapping a Great Dao Artifact with his bare hands?!

Oh my, holy crap!

That scared me to death.

Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao were all terrified, their hearts churning with immense waves.

This is too terrifying!

And also, this is too extravagant.

What about the Great Dao Artifact? They just threw it away like trash?!

The Old Ancestor Qilin and the Big Black Dog also happened to witness this scene. Their mouths twitched, and they muttered in secret, "Senior Hoe, may you rest in peace. I will definitely spread the glorious deeds of you beheading Saints with a hoe."

"Great Grandfather, I'm fine. It was just an accident. I haven't exercised much, and I've never done farm work before. Please forgive me." Zhao Gongming quickly got up, dusted off his pants, and bowed to Zhang Yifan.

"It's good that you're alright. You're so skinny, you need to eat more meat and grow stronger. Tonight, Great Grandfather will stew a big pot of delicious food for you all." Zhang Yifan also helped pat Zhao Gongming's behind, dusting off some dirt and grime.

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

Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and the others clapped their hands joyfully.

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

"As for planting vegetables, let your uncle and the others help with that. You all go play."

"Okay, Great Grandfather!" Zhao Gongming jumped up excitedly like a child and ran off.

If he didn't run now, he might be embarrassed again later!

If word got out, how would he be able to mix in the Primordial Era anymore?

Bixiao and Qiongxiao also ran off.

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

"Why would a little girl like you want a broken hoe?" Zhang Yifan asked curiously.

"I'm like the boys, I like to dig and dig. I think this hoe is even better now that it's broken. I want to play with it." Yunxiao looked at Zhang Yifan expectantly, her eyes watery and incredibly cute.

"Alright, alright, if you like it, you can take it for now. I'll shave the handle for you tonight." Zhang Yifan nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Great Grandfather! Thank you, Great Grandfather!"

Yunxiao was overjoyed and jumped up happily. She quickly ran over and grabbed the hoe.

She was too excited!

Yunxiao's heart was filled with unparalleled excitement, her hands trembling as she held the hoe.

She also quickly ran away, as if afraid Zhang Yifan would change his mind.

A Great Dao Artifact, a Great Dao Artifact!

This was a Great Dao Artifact, not some broken hoe!

Even without its artifact spirit, it was still a supreme treasure.

Look at ordinary innate spiritual treasures, do they have artifact spirits? Aren't they just inanimate objects?

Yunxiao ran while drooling, laughing triumphantly, her eyes shining.

Seeing Yunxiao about to get this treasure, Zhao Gongming slapped his thigh in annoyance. Why hadn't he thought of this just now!

As for Yang Jian, he was very clever. Seeing Yunxiao take the hoe, there was still a good half of the hoe's wooden handle left, about two feet long!

"Great Grandfather, this piece of wood, give it to me!" Yang Jian scurried over and immediately went to grab the piece of wood.

"Damn it! How did I not think of this! This half-piece of wood is also good!"

Seeing Yang Jian pick up the half-piece of wood, Zhao Gongming was completely dejected!

He had lost out big time!

No matter what, that half-piece of wood was still a Great Dao Artifact!

The Old Ancestor Qilin and the Big Black Dog first looked at Yunxiao with envy, then at Yang Jian with jealousy.

Even without an artifact spirit, a Great Dao Artifact was much more advanced than an innate supreme treasure. Even a Chaos Supreme Treasure couldn't compare to this broken hoe.

The wooden root was the same! A wooden stick from a Great Dao Artifact!

Could it be ordinary!

The Jade Emperor looked at the departing Yunxiao and praised, "This little girl is quite clever, getting such a huge bargain."

Slap!

Zhang Yifan slapped the back of the Jade Emperor's head. "What bargain? It's just a broken hoe, I have plenty of them. Hurry up and come work for me. I need to plant this acre of cabbage before dark."

Jade Emperor: You have plenty of Great Dao Artifacts???

"Dad, can you go a little easier? What if you beat me into an idiot?"

The Jade Emperor looked wronged, then he kicked Sect Master Tongtian and cursed, "Little Tongtong, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and plant the vegetables! What if you don't finish before it gets dark? Do you want to eat dinner or not?"

"My god!"

Sect Master Tongtian was so angry! His face was full of grievance.

You got hit by your own father, what's that got to do with me? Why are you kicking me!

Damn it, if I can't afford to offend you, can't I at least avoid you? It's fine if I just ignore you.

Sect Master Tongtian huffed angrily, but he didn't retaliate. Instead, he forcefully flicked his sleeve and went to water the vegetables.
