Qiao Kun, Xiao Sheng, and Cao Bao are indeed acquainted with Shen Gong Luo.
Among them, Qiao Kun is a celestial cultivator, considered the elder brother, while Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao are earthly cultivators, like the current Shen Gong Luo.
As their cultivation levels are similar, without using magical treasures, Shen Gong Luo would be able to easily defeat the three immortals.
The energy cultivated through the Jade Pure Dao is vastly different from that of the various and disordered methods cultivated by scattering immortals.
"Could it be Master Shen? A rare guest, indeed! Fellow cultivator, please come in for a visit."
The three immortals smiled very happily. They had given up on their Dao paths, yet their Dao hearts remained strong. Their sole focus was to search for the great Dao practitioners in the Primordial Sea, hoping to find a high-level Dao practitioner who could witness their heartfelt pursuit of the Dao and guide them on a clear path.
Shen Gong Luo is naturally sociable, fond of making friends with people from the three mountains and five mountains. The most crucial point is that he is a disciple of Yuan Shou Tianzun, a credential that is highly attractive to scattered immortals. As Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao said privately, as long as one could join the Canon School, they would do anything!
The two sides are quite compatible, having been friends for many years ago.
The three immortals also stopped their wandering; instead, they directly invited Shen Gong Luo to the White Cloud Cave of Qiao Kun to catch up on old times.
The White Cloud Cave is considered a cave with abundant spiritual energy on Mount Wuyi. Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao each took out celestial fruits and wine to entertain Shen Gong Luo.
The celestial fruits and wine they had grown and brewed themselves could not compare to those in the Heavenly Realm, let alone with those in the Jade Virtual Palace of Kunlun Mountain.
Shen Gong Luo took just a light taste, then began to talk in riddles, eventually getting to the point.
"Centuries ago, Emperor Tang overthrew Xia Xie, and his descendants became rulers, spanning six hundred years. Now, the Shang dynasty is corrupt and oppressive, its people suffer greatly, and the four directions' feudatories have all raised their flags of rebellion. The dynasty's downfall is imminent. At this pivotal moment, how can we immortal sages just sit by? The Daoist I observe at Xiqi sees an auspicious phoenix soaring over Qishan Mountain; its destiny is destined for Zhou. It's truly ordained by Heaven."
Shen Gong Luo turned to the direction of Xiqi and bowed his hand: "I am commissioned by Zhou Wen, and have come to the three mountains and five rivers to search for fellow cultivators, to join in the task of resuming Zhou and overthrowing the Shang!"
The three immortals have always looked up to Shen Gong Luo. They have been practicing Dao for over a hundred years, while Shen Gong Luo has only practiced for forty years. Their cultivation levels are now on par, and can't this demonstrate their interest in Shen Gong Luo?
At this moment, Qiao Kun, the cultivator with the highest level of cultivation, looked at Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. In the original timeline, Qiao Kun was represented by only fifty characters from beginning to end. This older cultivator had come a long way only to lose his head in Sun Liang's blood transformation array within the Ten Extremities Formation without even saying a few words.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao are relatively well-known. Xiao Sheng was killed on the spot by Zhao Gongming, and Cao Bao died in the Red Water Array within the Ten Extremities Formation.
They were so dedicated to fighting for Xiqi because three hundred years ago on Mount Wuyi, a respected elder cultivated at an extraordinary level and achieved the true Daoist realm. The earth's colors changed, and golden radiance erupted from the ground in a splendid display that left all immortals on Mount Wuyi reminiscing about it until today. The elder, whose foundation was not stable, quickly succumbed to a fire within himself and fell into madness. But even as he lay dying, he left behind an inscription of the "Zhou" character for future generations.
They looked at each other and felt that their opportunity had arrived. They nodded to each other. Qiao Kun said aloud, "Our cultivation is shallow and our power low, but we are also willing to contribute to the rise of Zhou and the fall of Shang. Please, fellow cultivator, recommend us."
Shen Gong Luo did indeed not know that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao possessed the money to capture treasures, but he had a general understanding of the principle behind Hua Xue Shen Dao.
True Dao can be erased, right? There is nothing in the world that is eternal and undestroyable. The more immortals die, the more the ominous energy on the later-stage spiritual treasure of Hua Xue Shen Dao naturally dissipates.
If one is not enough, then two; if two are not enough, then four.
In his eyes, the three of them are just sentient beings going to die.
Shen Gong Luo, accompanied by the three immortals, returned to the Xiqi camp that same day.
"This year, Ji Chang is already 93 years old. The time traveler knows that he can live to be 97 years old, but he himself does not know it."
At this age, it's unavoidable not to think about the matters after death.
Before, I wanted to be a lifelong official of commerce. After I die, you can all eat and discuss the matter of rebellion while celebrating. I won't be involved anymore.
Now that he sees the internal struggles among his sons, Ji Chang's thoughts have changed.
He wants to quickly secure the world, make the cake bigger, and then ensure that all his sons receive a good end.
As a father and as a monarch, his thoughts are very wise. Now there is only one question that must be addressed, and that is that they must break through the Sishui Pass before they can talk about destroying the Shang dynasty.
Shen Gong Luo brought the three immortals to the Xiqi camp, and Ji Chang personally welcomed them, inquiring about their health. The three immortals were very touched by his kindness.
Xiao Sheng patted his chest, declaring that he and the Shang dynasty are mortal enemies, and tomorrow he would lead the charge.
The next day, Xiqi sent out 30,000 troops to attempt another attack on the Sishui Pass.
Yu Yuan has the level of a celestial cultivator. The reason he used the blood-sacrificing saber against Ji Zi Ya before was because Ji Zi Ya was the main commander of Xiqi, and a disciple of the True Word Cult. He would definitely attack him without mercy if he saw him.
Now the ones battling are Qiao Kun, Xiao Sheng, and Cao Bao? Who the hell are these shrimp soldiers and crab generals?!
Yu Yuan is eight feet tall, with a face as blue as indigo, with red hair and sharp tusks, wielding a golden sickle that is thirteen inches long. He is the famously known eighth-level artisan of the Primordial Age.
At this time, he rode on his mount, the Golden-Eyed Five Cloud Camel, without wasting any words. From a high position, he swung the large chisel and fought alone against the three immortals. The three immortals were driven into a state of confusion and had no chance to counterattack.
"We will also fight!" Ji Zi Ya put into practice the battle tactics of Xiqi and ordered all the generals to join him in the battle.
Without a word, Longxu Hu threw two flying stones as large as millstones at Yu Yuan. Ji Zi Ya was in the middle, with his disciple Wu Ji holding a spear to the left, Nangong Shi holding a broadsword to the right, along with the three immortals from Mount Wuyi. The seven of them surrounded and attacked Yu Yuan.
"Good villain!" Yu Yuan saw Ji Zi Ya at a glance. Although he didn't know how this person had come back to life, beating him as hard as possible was definitely the right thing to do.
You live once, and I chop you once.
Last time, I just bled you; this time, I'll chop off your head to see how you're going to come back to life.
Yu Yuan roared loudly, as if a thunderbolt had suddenly erupted on the ground, with blood-colored radiance directly soaring into the sky. He pulled out the blood-sacrificing saber and aimed it directly at Ji Zi Ya.
"No one is to harm Brother Ji! Look at the treasure of the Daoist!" Xiao Sheng pointed, and a circular square hole, shaped like a coin, appeared. Inside it were celestial symbols and white flying wings on both sides. The money to capture treasures slowly flew out.
The money to capture treasures gently approached the direction of the blood-sacrificing saber, and Yu Yuan suddenly felt that he had lost control over it. He could no longer sense any trace of the spiritual weapon in his spiritual thoughts. Two breaths later, he saw that the blood-sacrificing saber, which he had toiled over for a long time, was now in Xiao Sheng's hands.
His first reaction was to be stunned, and his second reaction was anger.
"Villain! Return the treasure of the Daoist!" Yu Yuan was furious. He urged his mount and intended to rush over and kill Xiao Sheng to regain his blood-sacrificing saber.
Ji Zi Ya saw an opportunity and stealthily pulled out the rod to strike the gods. Seizing the moment when Yu Yuan's mount was distracted, he raised his hand and struck with the rod directly at Yu Yuan's back.
The Rod to Strike the Gods can only strike gods, not immortals or humans. In Ji Zi Ya's hands, it became a rod that could only strike those listed on the "Notable" list.
