Divine Position Descends! A Marvelous Connection Established with Heaven and Earth

Zhao Gongming's return to Golden Ao Island was nothing short of spectacular.

He made no effort to conceal his movements. As he passed, the divine radiance of the Sea Calming Divine Beads illuminated the surroundings, and his Quasi-Saint aura suppressed entire regions.

Throughout the Primordial Era, countless powerful beings sensed his presence and the aura of the new top-tier magical treasures he had acquired.

"Hiss! Aren't those Guangchengzi's Sky-Turning Seal and Chijingzi's Yin Yang Mirror? How did they end up in Zhao Gongming's hands?"

"That's not all! Didn't you sense it? Daoist Randeng's Qiankun Ruler is there too! My heavens, did he just take down the high-ranking members of the Sect of Explanation in one go?"

"He's too fierce! This Zhao Gongming is going against the heavens!"

"The Sect of Explanation has lost all face this time. Not only did he kill two Golden Immortals, but he also snatched the Vice Sect Master's magical treasures. Venerable Yuanshi must be furious."

For a time, the entire Primordial Era buzzed with discussion.

Zhao Gongming's fame reached its peak on this day.

The disciples of Jiejiao felt honored by his achievements.

When Zhao Gongming returned to Golden Ao Island and recounted his exploits, the entire Biyou Palace erupted.

"Hahaha! Senior Brother Gongming is mighty!"

"Well done! I've long disliked those hypocrites from the Sect of Explanation!"

"Fighting three at once and defeating three top experts from the Sect of Explanation! Senior Brother Gongming is truly the number one God of War in our Jiejiao!"

Countless Jiejiao disciples surrounded Zhao Gongming, cheering joyfully.

Even Sect Master Tongtian, upon learning of the events, cautioned him not to be careless but couldn't hide the proud smile on his face.

His disciple had brought him honor!

He looked at the spirited Zhao Gongming, his heart filled with pride.

"What Sect of Explanation Golden Immortals? In front of my Jiejiao disciples, they are nothing but mere trifles!"

However, just as everyone in Jiejiao was immersed in the joy of victory.

The atmosphere in the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain had plummeted to freezing point.

When Daoist Randeng, who had "returned heavily injured," tearfully recounted his desperate struggle, his eventual defeat at Zhao Gongming's hands, and the subsequent theft of his companion spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Ruler, the remaining ten Golden Immortals fell into complete silence.

They were demoralized.

Guangchengzi was dead.

Chijingzi was dead.

Now, even their Quasi-Saint cultivation level teacher, Randeng, had returned defeated and lost his magical treasure.

Was Zhao Gongming truly that strong?

So strong that they felt despair!

"Master..."

Cihang Daoren (the future Guanyin Bodhisattva) looked at Venerable Yuanshi, his voice hoarse, "What... what should we do?"

Indeed, what should they do?

They couldn't defeat him in battle, nor could they win any arguments.

Were they just going to stand by and watch Jiejiao become arrogant, and the Sect of Explanation's reputation become a laughingstock in the Primordial Era?

Venerable Yuanshi sat on his cloud bed, his face ashen, saying nothing.

He was also contemplating the problem.

Should he intervene personally?

No. Randeng was right; if he moved, Tongtian would surely move as well. The consequences of Saints going to war were unthinkable.

Should they just let it go?

Even more impossible! He couldn't afford to lose face like this!

Just as the great hall fell into dead silence, a voice broke it.

"Master! Your disciple is not convinced!"

Taiyi Zhenren suddenly stood up, his fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot.

"Zhao Gongming is powerful, and we might not be his match in a one-on-one fight! But the root of all this is not Zhao Gongming!"

"It's those four scoundrels from Nine Dragon Island!"

"If not for them, Senior Brother Guangchengzi wouldn't have descended the mountain! If not for them, none of this would have happened!"

"We can't deal with Zhao Gongming for now, but surely we can deal with those four minor rogue cultivators from Nine Dragon Island?"

Taiyi Zhenren became more agitated as he spoke, his voice growing louder.

"This disciple requests permission! I wish to descend the mountain to Nine Dragon Island, tear Wang Mo and his three companions to shreds, and extract their souls! To avenge Senior Brother Guangchengzi, and for our Sect of Explanation, I will claim the first blood debt!"

His words were like a bolt of lightning, shattering the haze in everyone's hearts.

That's right!

If they couldn't defeat Zhao Gongming, couldn't they defeat those four minor lackeys?

You have to pick on the softest targets!

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

"My junior brother speaks the truth!"

"Let's start by dealing with those four guys on Nine Dragon Island!"

"Let them know the consequences of offending my Sect of Explanation!"

The other Golden Immortals responded one after another, their fighting spirit reignited.

Venerable Yuanshi looked at True Lord Taiyi with complex eyes.

He was hesitant.

He was already scared.

Guangchengzi and Chijingzi were vivid examples of what happened before. He felt uneasy sending anyone down the mountain now.

This Taiyi, with his fiery temper, was even more impulsive than Guangchengzi. Was it really reliable to send him down the mountain?

However, Taiyi's words had indeed struck a chord with him.

He desperately needed a victory now to restore the Sect of Explanation's reputation and boost the morale of his disciples.

And the Four Sages of Nine Dragon Island were undoubtedly the best breakthrough.

"Fine."

Venerable Yuanshi weighed the options in his heart and finally decided to take a gamble.

"Taiyi, you must be extremely careful on this journey. Nine Dragon Island is probably a dragon's pool and a tiger's den now."

"You may take my Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover down the mountain. This treasure's power is boundless and sufficient to protect you. Remember, make it quick. After killing those four, return to Kunlun immediately. Do not linger, and absolutely do not provoke Zhao Gongming!"

"Your disciple obeys!"

True Lord Taiyi took the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, overjoyed.

With this treasure from his Master, his confidence soared.

He could already envision himself burning Nine Dragon Island to ashes with the divine fire, turning Wang Mo and the other three into dust.

He received the decree and excitedly left the Jade Void Palace, riding the clouds straight towards the East Sea.

Inside the Investiture of the Gods Space.

Shen Zhaochi saw all of this unfold.

"The third one is also on his way."

His gaze fell upon the words "True Lord Taiyi" on the list.

These four words had already begun to emit a faint black aura.

"True Lord Taiyi, Nezha's protective master, is also a formidable character. The Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover is indeed powerful."

"However, even the most powerful fire fears water."

"Especially Primordial Heavy Water."

A cold smile played on Shen Zhaochi's lips.

He had already prepared a "grand gift" for True Lord Taiyi.

His consciousness swept rapidly across the East Sea, quickly locking onto a special sea area.

Beneath that sea area lay a dormant underwater volcano that had been silent for ten thousand years. The bottom of the volcano was connected to an earth vein, containing a trace of extremely pure "Primordial Heavy Water."

Primordial Heavy Water, one of the innate true waters, was as heavy as ten thousand jun per drop and could extinguish most divine fires in the world.

"This is the place."

Shen Zhaochi decided on the ambush location.

He didn't directly notify the Four Sages of Nine Dragon Island, as that would make his target too obvious.

What he wanted to do was make True Lord Taiyi "find" this place himself.

Shen Zhaochi mobilized his divine power above the underwater volcano, simulating the aura of a weak but incredibly pure fire-element spiritual treasure about to emerge.

This aura might not be attractive to others.

But for True Lord Taiyi, who cultivated fire-element techniques and wielded the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, it was a fatal temptation.

As expected.

True Lord Taiyi, who was rushing to Nine Dragon Island at full speed, suddenly felt a stirring in his heart when he flew over this sea area and stopped.

"Hmm? Such pure fire elemental energy!"

He sensed the aura emanating from the sea below, his eyes lighting up.

"Could it be... a fire-element spiritual treasure is about to appear?"

He formed a hand seal and calculated, but the Heavenly Secrets were completely blurred.

He hesitated for a moment.

Should he search for the treasure first, or seek revenge first?

"Revenge can wait! If I can obtain a suitable fire-element spiritual treasure here, wouldn't I have a better chance against those four from Nine Dragon Island?"

"This must be the will of Heaven! Heaven itself is helping my Sect of Explanation!"

True Lord Taiyi found a perfect excuse for his greed.

Without hesitation, he changed direction, concealed his aura, and plunged headfirst towards the source of the energy.

He didn't know that the moment he dove into the water, a net woven from misfortune and death had quietly tightened around him.
