On the plaza of Kunlun Mountain, the previously tense atmosphere had dissipated.

Zhao Gongming looked with a smile towards the high platform, where Tongtian and Zhun Ti were bickering.

Even with Yuanshi's stern expression, the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed.

Laozi and Jie Yin shook their heads helplessly, intently watching the few of them.

Zhao Gongming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"This is the relationship between the Saints that I approve of. They all attended lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace, and after graduating, they started businesses in the Primordial World."

"Even if there are some competitive relationships in business, it shouldn't escalate to a point where one must die for the other."

"This kind of Primordial World is truly beautiful."

Just then, Maitreya happily pocketed the Recording Stone.

Maitreya's face was extremely excited, as if he had grasped a core secret.

Zhao Gongming slowly walked over and lightly patted Maitreya's shoulder.

"Junior brother, do you understand the rules? Those who see should share."

Maitreya turned around and gave him a reassuring look, chuckling.

"Don't worry, senior brother. I'll definitely give you the clearest footage and send you a copy later."

At this moment, Medicine Master also put away his magic treasure.

The clear and foolish eyes of Yellow Dragon, like those of a college student, slowly faded.

Wisdom reoccupied the high ground.

Yellow Dragon looked around in a daze, shaking his head, his mind seemingly filled with mush.

"What exactly happened just now?"

He looked at the sympathetic eyes of his fellow disciples around him, who were trying to suppress their laughter, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

Before Guang Chengzi and the others could explain.

A round figure rushed in front of Yellow Dragon as if teleporting.

It was Maitreya Daoist, who loved to watch a good show!

"Senior brother, you're awake. Did you forget what happened just now?"

"It's okay, junior brother will help you remember!"

Maitreya had a helpful expression on his face.

He then took out the Recording Stone and infused it with his magic power.

A large light screen unfolded in mid-air.

The picture was extremely clear, even the sound effects were restored.

In the picture, Medicine Master was wearing an apron and singing.

And Yellow Dragon True Person, with his mouth askew, drooling, and a vacant stare.

He clapped his hands while letting out silly laughter.

He even shouted "Patrick Star" and "catch jellyfish" from time to time.

His appearance was simply the intellectual low point of the Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals.

"!!!"

Yellow Dragon looked at himself in the picture, his face instantly turned pale, then red, and finally purple.

He felt his vision go black and almost fainted on the spot.

Social Death!

This was even more despairing than his previous frenzy!

"Turn it off, turn it off quickly!"

Yellow Dragon let out a shrill scream, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He trembled as he looked at his fellow disciples around him, clasped his hands together, and pleaded humbly.

"Everyone, senior brothers and junior brothers, I beg you!"

"Please don't spread this, please don't!"

"I, Yellow Dragon, still have to make a living in the Primordial World, spare me some dignity!"

The disciples of the Three Teachings around them heard this and immediately became serious, patting their chests and promising.

"Don't worry, senior brother, we've received professional training and absolutely won't spread it!"

"That's right, we're the tightest-lipped!"

However, in the next second, dense whispers could be heard from the crowd.

"Hey, did you record that just now?"

"Recorded, recorded, all angles, no blind spots!"

"Send me a copy, I'll provide heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"Heavenly materials and earthly treasures? This is dirt on the Twelve Golden Immortals, worth at least a low-grade Houtian Spirit Treasure, otherwise I'm not selling!"

Listening to these devilish whispers, Huang Long was utterly despairing.

He slumped onto the ground, his eyes vacant.

Just then, Zhao Gongming walked over, patted Huang Long's shoulder, and comforted him earnestly.

"Senior Brother Huang Long, try to look on the bright side."

"As the saying goes, it's better to live a dog's life than to die a dog's death."

"Tribulation Qi entering the body is deadly. At best, it cripples your foundation; at worst, it leads to death and the destruction of your Dao."

"Compared to that, just losing face and experiencing Social Death to save your life and cultivation is a massive profit!"

When Huang Long heard this, although he felt something was off, it did seem to make sense?

A lost face could be regained, but a lost life was truly lost.

"Th-thank you, Junior Brother Gongming."

Huang Long suppressed his shame, stood up, and cupped his hands in a salute to Zhao Gongming and Medicine Master.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Zhao, for refining this magic treasure, and thank you, Junior Brother Medicine Master, for your assistance."

"Huang Long will remember this kindness."

At this moment, within Zhao Gongming's mind, the System's prompt tone sounded again.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully resolving Tribulation Qi entering the body with the magic treasure you refined, the Wisdom-Reducing Rattle Drum!]

[Triggered Super Critical Strike Reward!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: A pool of Three Lights Divine Water!]

"Holy crap, everyone else gets a few drops, and you're giving me a whole pool?"

"As expected of my System buddy, you're generous."

A storm raged within Zhao Gongming's heart.

That was Three Lights Divine Water, the number one healing sacred medicine in the Primordial World.

Sunlight Divine Water could erode blood, flesh, bone, and flesh.

Moonlight Divine Water could corrode the primordial spirit and soul.

Starlight Divine Water could devour and dissolve the True Spirit and consciousness.

The combination of the three was the most supreme sacred medicine in the Primordial World.

As long as there was still a breath of life left, even if the True Spirit was damaged and the origin depleted, it could bring the dead back to life.

The most famous example was during the Journey to the West Tribulation, when Sun Wukong toppled Zhen Yuanzi's Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Guanyin Bodhisattva had used Three Lights Divine Water to revive the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

"If I can use this pool of Three Lights Divine Water properly, won't I gain several extra lives?"

Zhao Gongming couldn't help but blurt out in surprise.

"Awesome!!!"

This exclamation was a bit loud, drawing the attention of many people around.

Standing beside Zhao Gongming, the Bull Demon King was scratching his head with a simple smile.

Upon hearing the word "awesome," the old bull's movements paused.

A hint of shyness and pride appeared on his dark face.

He looked at Zhao Gongming, then down at himself, and thought to himself.

I've heard for a long time that Senior Brother Gongming has unique tastes!

I didn't expect Senior Brother to have such high praise for that particular part of our ox tribe?

And to praise it in public?

Hehe, but that's only natural!

I, Old Bull, also think it's quite impressive. Senior Brother truly has good taste!

At this moment, on the high platform, the five Sages exchanged glances, their expressions becoming solemn.

"Silence!"

Yuanshi, being a Sage, naturally had his words carry the force of law. The entire Kunlun Mountain instantly fell silent.

Laozi, riding on the Green Ox's back, his eyes calm, said coldly.

"Although today's Dao discussion had its twists and turns, it concluded successfully. However, the grand momentum of heaven and earth cannot be reversed."

"Now that the tribulation is approaching and Tribulation Qi is appearing, Huang Long's situation is a warning bell."

Tongtian stepped forward two paces, following closely and said, "You are all disciples of Saints, enjoying the fortune of heaven and earth, you must also bear responsibility."

"Maintaining the stability of the Primordial World and peacefully passing through the tribulation is your undeniable mission!"

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti also clasped their hands together.

"Well said, this is also an excellent opportunity to experience the mortal world and temper your Dao Heart."

Finally, Yuanshi Tianzun struck the final nail in the coffin.

"Pass down our decree."

"Disciples of the Three Teachings and the Western Teachings may choose their own time to descend the mountain for training within one hundred days."

"Enter the mortal world, slay demons and evil, follow the Heavenly Dao, and help the Primordial World overcome this calamity!"

"We respectfully obey the Saints' decree!"

Tens of thousands of disciples below responded in unison, their voices shaking the nine heavens.

Zhao Gongming stood in the crowd, listening to the magnificent momentum. His originally playful expression gradually became solemn.

He looked up at the sky, as if seeing a faint bloody haze gathering.

"Descend the mountain for training..."

"The Witch-Demon Tribulation is finally about to officially begin, isn't it?"
