Chapter 9: A Head-on Confrontation with the Pure Void Moral True Lord



Inside the quiet room, Shen Gongbao slowly finished his practice, and the Jade Purity Immortal Light flowing around him gradually receded into his body.

Host: Shen Gongbao

Cultivation level: Mid-stage Profound Immortal (2% in the process of transforming into Chaos Dao Body)

Cultivation Technique: Jade Purity True Technique (Fragment)

Spells: Puppetry, Yin Thunder Spell

Magic Weapon: Sky-Splitting Thunder Whip (Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure)

Spiritual Item: Twelve-Grade Creation Green Lotus Seed

Task: Optional Task 2: Unity and Friendship (89/100)

Over the past few days, Shen Gongbao has completed 88 of the 100 Unity and Friendship tasks. Although the reward for each Unity and Friendship task is only a bronze-level lottery, the quantity makes up for the low quality.

After eighty-eight draws, Shen Gongbao's cultivation level had almost reached the limit of the mid-stage Xuanxian realm.

They were just one step away from breaking through to the late game.

"But those little devils, Nezha, have really learned their lesson..."

Shen Gongbao chuckled and shook his head. Nowadays, when those third-generation disciples see him, they either shrink back or sit upright, making it difficult for him to find another excuse.

"However, simply cultivating on my own will only be slower, so I might as well go out and try my luck!"

As he was pondering, Shen Gongbao suddenly sensed two familiar presences behind the pillars of the corridor.

"Oh, aren't these my two junior disciples?"

A glint flashed in Shen Gongbao's eyes, and his figure floated to the pillar like a ghost:

"What brings you here today to visit your martial uncle?"

Nezha suddenly took three steps back, his back slamming into a pillar with a "thud".

Yang Jian remained calm, but Xiaotian Dog's tail was already tucked between his legs.

"Shen, Shen Gongbao!"

Nezha forced himself to raise his chin:

"Don't come any closer. I've come to see you today because I have something to discuss with you."

Shen Gongbao, however, didn't care at all why Nezha wanted to see him, and simply said with interest:

"Little Nezha, have you forgotten what your master taught you before? Well, I happen to be free today, so I'll go with you to swing up the tree again."

Thinking of the horrific scene he had endured while hanging from the willow tree, Nezha immediately panicked:

"Shen Gongbao, is all you do is bully us juniors? You keep talking about the sect rules, but are we the only ones who break them? If you're so capable, go after your senior brothers! Otherwise, in our eyes you're just a good-for-nothing who only bullies the weak and fears the strong."

"Oh? Do you have evidence that your senior uncle and the others violated the sect's rules?"

Shen Gongbao raised an eyebrow slightly.

This little devil is acting strangely today; he actually offered him a knife.

It's getting harder and harder to fleece Nezha and his friends these days. If there's a really good reason, Shen Gongbao wouldn't mind trying to take advantage of his fellow disciples.

After all, he also wanted to assess the current strength level of his senior brothers and sisters.

Seeing that Shen Gongbao was persuaded by him, Nezha's eyes lit up, and he straightened his back and said:

"Uncle Shen, are the three religions one family?"

Having schemed against others, Nezha even changed how he addressed Shen Gongbao.

However, Shen Gongbao didn't pay any attention to these things, and simply nodded slightly, saying:

"Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves—the three religions share the same origin and are naturally one family!"

Nezha had anticipated Shen Gongbao's answer and continued to press:

"Does using the natal feathers of fellow disciples to refine magical artifacts violate the doctrines of my Chan Sect?"

Does that violate the rules?

That would naturally be against the rules!

But by the time Nezha uttered those words, Shen Gongbao had already realized who Nezha was referring to.

Among all the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, only one person used the natal feathers of demonic beasts to refine magical treasures, and that was Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Shen Gongbao looked at Nezha and the other two with a playful gaze.

Good heavens, this is asking him to stir up a hornet's nest among the Twelve Golden Immortals right from the start!

Seeing Shen Gongbao's eyes flicker, Nezha immediately mocked:

"What? Are you scared? If you are, then you'd better admit that you're a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong, and then stop bothering us!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao smiled slightly.

Afraid?

Why should Shen Gongbao be afraid?

I'm overjoyed that you've found me a new mission objective!

"lead the way!"

Two simple words, yet they both froze.

They never expected that this madman would actually accept the challenge.

………

"Brother Qingxu Daode"

Shen Gongbao's voice was like the clanging of cold iron, startling all the birds on the mountain into scattering.

He stood atop a cloud, the Thunder Whip of Sky-Splitting wrapped around his arm, and spatial cracks spread around him like a spider web.

"Your fellow disciples have reported you for using their natal feathers to forge magical artifacts. Now, please hand over the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan!"

"boom--"

The stone gate of the cave was blasted into dust, and the Pure Void Moral True Lord stepped into the air, his Taoist robe fluttering, with five-colored divine light flowing behind him.

"Shen Gongbao!"

His face was ashen.

"Who gave you the audacity to shout at the gate of my cave!"

Although it was his own plan to lure Shen Gongbao here and attack him, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun was still furious to see Shen Gongbao being so presumptuous in front of him.

He, one of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, was actually threatened by a creature with fur and horns.

If this gets out, will Qingxu Daode Zhenjun still be able to stay in Kunlun Yuxu Palace?

At this moment, Ju Liusun, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and pretended to advise:

“Senior Brother Qingxu Daode, Junior Brother Shen has just come out of the Frozen Prison, so he must be in a bad mood. In addition, you know his background. He must have come to you out of a sense of shared vulnerability. So don’t take it to heart.”

Having said that, Ju Liusun turned to look at Shen Gongbao:

"Junior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Qingxu Daode is your own senior brother. How can you, as his junior brother, be so disrespectful to him? Apologize to him right now!"

Hearing Ju Liusun's advice, Shen Gongbao sneered inwardly.

While Ju Liusun appeared to be speaking in his favor, every word he uttered was actually a sarcastic jab at his own background, while simultaneously implying his own insubordination.

But this time, Shen Gongbao decided to seek out Qingxu Daode Zhenjun for the sake of the system reward.

Shen Gongbao had already prepared to play the match regardless of winning or losing, so how could he stop because of his words?

"Senior Brother Ju Liusun, did you also participate in the forging of Senior Brother Qingxu Daode's Five Fires Seven Birds Fan? Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to stand up for him?"

Upon hearing Shen Gongbao's merciless retort, Ju Liusun's face turned ashen, and he flung his sleeves and stepped back.

"Shen Gongbao, you're really biting the hand that feeds you, not recognizing a kind heart. Since you don't appreciate it, I'll leave this matter alone. I want to see what kind of tricks you, this arrogant fellow, have."

Shen Gongbao ignored Ju Liusun and flicked his Thunder Whip, creating a huge circular rift in the void centered on him.

"Brother Qingxu Daode, I'll ask you one last time, are you going to hand over the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan or not?"
