Just as Shen Gongbao joined the Four Seas Treasure Pavilion's team and headed towards Chongcheng.

Outside Xuelong Pass.

Xing Tian, ​​the great shaman of the Zhurong tribe, and Qing E, the great shaman of the Jumang tribe, frowned as they looked at the majestic Xuelong Pass.

"Brother Xingtian, according to the results of the Ancestral Witch Temple's investigation, the Father God's successor is in the territory of Yin Shang, but it seems that we can't even enter Xuelong Pass now. What should we do?"

As she spoke, a wave of grievance welled up in her heart, and Qing'e's tears streamed down her face.

"Sister Qing'e, please don't cry!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely find the Father God's successor!"

Xing Tian was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet, but his attempts to comfort her only made Qing'e cry even louder.

With gritted teeth, Xing Tian shouted:

"It's just Xuelong Pass, don't worry, Sister Qing'e. I'll go back to our ancestral land and bring all our brothers and sisters over. Once we break through Xuelong Pass, we'll naturally be able to enter the territory of Yin Shang."

Upon hearing this, Qing'e's tears stopped instantly, and she looked at Xing Tian as if he were an idiot:

“Brother Xingtian, if it were that easy to take Xuelong Pass, our Wu Clan wouldn’t have been holed up in Beiju Luzhou all these years. Besides, even if we took Xuelong Pass, what then? Wouldn’t the Yin Shang be even more wary of our Wu Clan then? You still want to sneak into the Yin Shang? Dream on.”

Xing Tian scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"So what should we do?"

Qing'e's eyes darted around:

"I have a good idea, but I don't know if you would be willing to share it with me, Brother Xingtian."

Xing Tian's eyes immediately lit up:

“Since you have such a good idea, Sister Qing’e, why should I disagree?”

Qing'e gave Xing Tian a malicious look:

"Brother Xingtian, you said it yourself, you can't go back on your word, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Tian felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

However, at this moment, Qing'e slowly spoke:

“A few days ago, Daji told me that she and her sisters received an imperial edict from the Goddess Nuwa, ordering them to go to Yin Shang on business. They are about to arrive at Xuelong Pass. What do you think about us going to Chaoge with them later?”

"What? You actually want me to go with that vixen Daji? Absolutely not!"

Upon hearing the name Daji, Xing Tian seemed to see the most terrifying thing in the world and shook his head repeatedly in refusal.

Qing'e's expression immediately turned serious:

"Brother Xingtian, you just promised me, are you trying to go back on your word now?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Tian immediately put on a fawning expression:

"Sister Qing'e, you're so clever and quick-witted, you can definitely think of a better way. Why don't you come up with another one? That fox spirit Daji is really too troublesome, your brother Xingtian just can't stand it anymore!"

Qing'e's tone softened:

"Brother Xingtian, don't worry. This time, Daji is going to Chaoge under the imperial decree of the Goddess Nuwa. She won't have time to play tricks on you. Once we arrive in Chaoge safely, we'll separate from them, okay?"

Xing Tian continued to shake his head and refuse:

"It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. I don't believe that the vixen Daji will restrain herself because of the goddess Nuwa's decree. From here to Chaoge, it's such a long road. If I travel with her, she'll kill me!"

"So you mean you don't trust your sister? Or is it that in your heart, being the successor of the Father God is less important than being tricked by Daji?"

Feeling Qing'e's burning gaze, Xing Tian quickly gave in.

………

In the northern border of the Yin Shang Dynasty, in the carriage of the Sihai Tongbao Pavilion caravan, Ao Bing was located.

"Aunt Lan, why exactly was Shen Gongbao expelled from the Chan Sect by Yuanshi Tianzun?"

Ao Lan shook her head:

"The Chan Sect only said that Shen Gongbao was expelled from the Chan Sect by the Sage Yuanshi because he was born into the demon race and was disliked by Yuanshi Tianzun. However, they did not reveal any further details."

"This shouldn't be happening!"

Ao Bing asked with some doubt:

"If Yuanshi Tianzun really disliked Shen Gongbao's demon clan identity, then he shouldn't have taken him as a disciple in the first place. Why would he suddenly expel him from the sect at this time?"

Ao Lan shook her head:

"I don't know about that, but it's true that the people of the Chan Sect dislike Shen Gongbao. Many disciples of the Chan Sect don't hide their dislike for Shen Gongbao in front of other cultivators. This is not a secret in the prehistoric world."

Ao Bing frowned:

"Could it be that when Yuanshi Tianzun recruited Shen Gongbao into the Chan Sect, it was in a similar situation to when Third Grandfather did it?"

The third grandfather that Ao Bing mentioned is Huanglong Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

To be able to become a disciple of a sage is considered by many to be a stroke of good fortune in one's life.

However, it should be noted that Huanglong Zhenren's true identity is the third son of the Ancestral Dragon, and he was born with the fortune of the dragon clan.

When Huanglong became a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun had not yet achieved the status of a sage, but the dragon race was already a dominant force in the prehistoric world.

The reason why Huanglong became Yuanshi's disciple was that the Dragon Clan felt a great threat from the Phoenix and Qilin clans and wanted to win over Yuanshi Tianzun, and even Taishang Laojun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, by using Huanglong's status as Yuanshi's disciple.

What Yuanshi Tianzun valued, however, was the vast resources and foundation of the Dragon Clan.

Since both sides have their own needs, the dragons are not stingy.

On the very day that Huanglong Zhenren became a disciple, the Dragon Clan presented Yuanshi Tianzun with a supreme treasure such as the Nine-Dragon Incense Chariot, as well as countless other innate and acquired spiritual treasures.

Later, Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu successively achieved the status of saints. The entire dragon clan decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate that their investment in Yuanshi Tianzun had completely paid off.

However, the final result was...

A great war broke out among the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin. Yuanshi Tianzun not only did not provide any assistance to the dragon race, but also strictly ordered Huanglong Zhenren not to leave Yuxu Palace, otherwise he would be expelled from the Chan Sect.

Afterwards, the Dragon Clan experienced several ups and downs, and the Chan Sect also chose to watch coldly, even taking advantage of their Four Seas Dragon Palaces' misfortunes on several occasions.

Thinking of all this, a trace of resentment flashed in Ao Bing's eyes.

It can be said that having Huanglong Zhenren become a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun was the most failed investment in the history of their dragon race.

If they hadn't placed so much hope in Yuanshi Tianzun, thinking that he would at least mediate out of consideration for their past friendship.

If it weren't for the fact that so many innate and acquired spiritual treasures were included in the apprenticeship ceremony for Yuanshi Tianzun,

In the final battle, the dragons did not suffer such a crushing defeat.

"Primordial...Beginning...Heaven...Venerable!"

Ao Bing slowly uttered each word.

Upon hearing this, Ao Lan was startled and immediately covered Ao Bing's mouth with a serious expression:

"Ao Bing, shut up! How dare you speak of a sage's name so casually?"
