Chapter 970: Fellow Daoist, Please Stay

Xiao Zhen spent about a year in Chaoge City, during which time he collected medicinal herbs and wanted to see the current capital of the human race.

Xiao Zhen has been traveling here for so long, but he has not received any system prompts to complete the world mission. It may be that the triggering conditions have not yet been met.

As soon as he stepped into Chaoge City, Xiao Zhen felt a terrifying pressure coming towards him.

Looking up, it seemed as if there was a pair of eyes watching him from above the city, but after discovering his human identity, they disappeared.

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He could feel that the power just now contained tremendous luck.

If I am not mistaken, it is definitely the destiny of humanity that is protecting the city of Chaoge.

As a cultivator from outside, he would definitely attract attention. If he were a demon, he would probably be harmed by his luck.

Xiao Zhen was not afraid that his system would be discovered so easily. As long as the other party was not the owner of the system, and he did not show up in front of Tiandao and several top bosses, no one in this world would discover the fact that he was an outsider.

Even if someone speculates about his cause and effect, they will only find that he is a human cultivator who has practiced hard in the mountains.

Now that Emperor Xin has ascended to the throne, I'm afraid the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods won't be too far away.

Unless the mission requires it, Xiao doesn't want to get involved.

Even if he relies on the spiritual energy of this world to practice, he can try to reach the threshold of the Golden Immortal realm within a few hundred years.

Furthermore, the reason why this world is a low-profile version of the prehistoric world is because there are some problems with its realm.

Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, refining emptiness into the Dao, then there are human immortals, celestial immortals, true immortals, golden immortals, Daluo golden immortals and sages.

There are obviously no two realms of Taiyi Golden Immortal and Quasi-Sage in the middle, no wonder it is a low-profile version of the prehistoric world.

Xiao Zhen kept a relatively low profile during his time in Chaoge City. He just secretly interacted with some practitioners and promoted his alchemy skills.

Every time he secretly looked at the ministers of the Shang Dynasty, he found that there were many people with profound cultivation among them.

However, Chaoge City is not a place where one can stay for long. When the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods comes, if one does not want to be used as cannon fodder, one must run away in time to avoid dying in the aftermath of the battle between those saints.

More than ten years have passed, and Xiao Zhen heard that today is the time to celebrate the birthday of Nuwa.

He felt something in his heart, and had a feeling that something big was about to happen.

As expected, he soon learned from several other Taoist friends that Emperor Xin had committed a heinous crime while offering incense to the goddess Nuwa, and had even left some obscene poems in the Nuwa temple.

This is strange. Nuwa's birthday is held frequently, and it is not the first time that Emperor Xin has participated. But something unexpected happened today.

Xiao Zhen took a look at the place where he had lived for more than 10 years. He didn't even want the house anymore, so he hurriedly packed up his things and prepared to leave.

The Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods will not last too long. You can find a remote mountain to hide in, and it will not be too late to come out after a few decades.

However, perhaps it was a coincidence that Xiao Zhen met Emperor Xin who was marching out of the palace on the street.

He couldn't help but frown. Although Emperor Xin still had the same face, his expression was quite different before and after.

After more than 10 years, Xiao Zhen knew that the Human King was a wise ruler. At least the people under his rule lived and worked in peace and contentment.

But today, Xiao Zhen saw a look of indulgence on the face of this Human King that he had never seen before.

That wise and masculine face now looked like that of a tyrant.

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhen decided to secretly take a look at Emperor Xin through the system.

As long as you are not too bold and do not attract the attention of humanity, you will not encounter a terrifying counterattack.

As the system's detection technique was turned on, Xiao Zhen discovered that Emperor Xin's humanitarian luck seemed to be sick.

A powerful person had done something to the Human King, and the first targets of suspicion were those saints.

The first one to rule out Nuwa and Tongtian is that after all, what Emperor Xin did in the Nuwa Temple could definitely not have been done by Nuwa.

As for Tongtian Jiaozhu, he was the number one loser in the Conferred Gods Tribulation. Among the sects of Jiejiao that had tens of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage, only a few big cats and small cats survived in the end, while the others were either included in the Conferred Gods List or captured and converted by the Western religions.

Of course, there are also many unlucky people who don’t even have the chance to be saved and their souls are directly destroyed.

If we follow the speculations of the majority of netizens and the final winner, we can only suspect the two leaders of the Western religion.

Who can blame them for being the only two shameless people in the entire prehistoric world, yet possessing terrifying strength?

This was indeed the case. In the invisible space above Chaoge, the two old bald donkeys smiled as if their evil plan had succeeded.

"Junior brother, if we plot against the Human King like this, I'm afraid the destiny of the human race will reject the Western religion in the future!"

"Brother, you are worrying too much. The catastrophe is coming. All we need to do next is muddy the waters so that we can profit from it. Moreover, Sister Nuwa has also seen that someone is plotting against Emperor Xin, but in the end, for the sake of her face, she can only vent her anger on Emperor Xin in the open."

"Junior brother is really thoughtful. That Haotian kid wants to fill the vacancy of the God position in the Heavenly Court. We are helping him."

"This time, it all comes down to the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect who committed murderous sins and refused the recruitment of the Heavenly Court, which led to a great catastrophe in heaven and earth."

"The Heavenly Palace is short of people, and we in the West are also short of people!"

"If that's the case, it's a good opportunity to convert more people who are predestined to be saved here."

"good!"

After Xiao Zhen left Chaoge City, he hadn't decided where to go, so he first planned to see if he could find a mountain with abundant spiritual energy.

Maybe I can safely cultivate until the great catastrophe of Journey to the West. In any case, before I have enough strength, I must never jump around in front of those big forces.

……

One day, Xiao Zhen just came back from an exchange meeting with a lot of high-level medicinal materials on him, and he was in a good mood.

Moreover, there are sufficient materials in this world. Xiao Zhen bought a lot of things and planned to try to refine a fairy-level magic weapon himself.

After all, the Sword of Luck is severely damaged. Before you have enough points to repair it, you'd better get an offensive magic weapon to replace it, so as not to suffer losses when fighting with others.

"Fellow Daoist ahead, please stay!"

Somehow, Xiao Zhen suddenly felt a chill all over when he heard the voice from behind.

Looking back vigilantly, a tall and thin Taoist priest in a black robe came riding on a cloud.

Seeing that the other party's cultivation had actually reached the late stage of True Immortal, which was much stronger than himself who was still in the early stage of True Immortal, Xiao Zhen naturally did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Fortunately, the guy in front of him didn't have much murderous sin, and his magic power was very moderate and peaceful. He should be an orthodox practitioner with a legacy.

"My fellow Taoist, what do you want from me?"

The tall and thin Taoist stroked his beard and smiled gently, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. I am Shen Gongbao of the Chan Sect. I heard that you are an extraordinary alchemist, so I want to make friends with you and exchange some for rewards for the younger generation."

After finishing speaking, Shen Gongbao also took out a silver spear with electric light flowing on it, which looked extremely powerful.

Xiao Zhen only took a casual glance and knew that this spear was a mid-grade immortal weapon.

It is just right for my current state.

But the most important thing is the name of the fellow Taoist in black in front of him.

Shen Gongbao? Isn't he one of the two protagonists in The Conferred Gods?

This person is also a famous jinx. He was originally a leopard that became a spirit, and was later accepted as a disciple by Yuanshi Tianzun.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun has always looked down on these people in fur and armor. The reason why he accepted him as a disciple was just to prepare for the great catastrophe.

In the Romance of the Gods, countless people were killed just because of Shen Gongbao's words "Fellow Taoist, please stay".

It can be said that the final disintegration of Jiejiao was inseparable from this old guy.

Xiao Zhen thought carefully and wondered if he had just heard "Fellow Daoist, please stay"?

I always feel like there is a danger hanging over my head. No, I have to stay away from this old guy, otherwise he will be tricked into the List of Gods.

Although it is good to be a god in heaven, if his soul is included in the List of Conferred Gods, it will be no different from a slave. Moreover, he does not have any great background and may not even be qualified to be on the List of Conferred Gods.

Xiao Zhen took out dozens of bottles of pills, some of which were helpful for cultivation, healing, and stabilizing the soul. Their value was barely enough to exchange for a mid-grade immortal weapon.

After both parties completed the transaction happily, Shen Gongbao wanted to make friends and spoke nicely. Xiao Zhen also felt that this person was a good person.

With such eloquence, it’s no wonder that he was able to get a lot of people to help him in the end.

However, whether it was Shen Gongbao or Jiang Ziya, they were destined to be victims of the Conferred God Tribulation. Xiao Zhen just dealt with them a few times and said with a smile that they would drink together next time.

After dealing with it, Xiao Zhen focused on returning home to make the elixir and ran away immediately. He also planned to move again in case Shen Gongbao wanted to find help in the future and used him, a passerby with ordinary strength, as cannon fodder.

When he returned to his cave, several boys that Xiao Zhen had accepted in this world immediately came to greet him.

They are some mountain spirits and wild monsters that have been casually enlightened and subdued. The highest level of their cultivation is only at the level of two human immortals. They are usually responsible for looking after the cave and maintaining the medicine garden.

Seeing her master running back in a hurry, the little maid transformed from the thousand-year-old peach tree asked, "Why is the master so panicked? Is there a strong enemy following behind?"

Xiao Zhen waved his hand and said seriously, "The feng shui of this place is not good. I plan to move to a cave with rich spiritual energy. You should quickly pack up your belongings and leave with me."

The elves looked at each other, and they could only pack up some things.

Even the herbs grown in the medicinal fields were carefully collected using special containers.

Xiao Zhen took advantage of this time to get familiar with the new magic weapon.

I forgot to ask Shen Gongbao about the name, but you can choose one yourself.

This spear looks like it's made of a treasure with lightning properties. Just a slight swing can produce lightning and thunder, so let's call it the Thunder Spear!
