Chapter 149

Ever since the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls were bestowed by Tongtian, Zhao Gongming had treated them as his own personal magic treasure and had always carried them with him, never feeling any breakthrough opportunity on them.

He felt very confused about Gu Xiu's words.

"Nephew, I have always carried the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls with me and have never felt my breakthrough opportunity on them. Are you sure my breakthrough opportunity lies on them?"

Gu Xiu's expression was extremely firm, and he said slowly: "Uncle, although you have always carried the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls with you, you have never understood the true usage of the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls, so naturally you cannot feel it."

Hearing this, Zhao Gongming was even more confused. Every time he fought, he would directly smash with the Sea-Calming Pearls, and the other party would be so scared that they would run away. No one understood the Sea-Calming Pearls better than him.

"Nephew, do the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls have other uses?" Zhao Gongming stared at Gu Xiu with burning eyes, his tone carrying a trace of eagerness and doubt.

Gu Xiu smiled.

"The Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls each have a space inside. So, Uncle, why don't you evolve the interior of the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls into Twenty-Four Heavens to become a small world? Not only is it high-end, but it can also raise your cognition to a new height."

As soon as Zhao Gongming heard this, he was stunned. He had only treated the Sea-Calming Pearls as magic treasures in the past and directly smashed people. He didn't expect that the Sea-Calming Pearls could be played like this?

Evolving the Twenty-Four Heavens, that is, evolving twenty-four small worlds inside the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls.

Although he had never thought about it, this idea was indeed feasible.

Zhao Gongming's cognition was constantly sublimating. If he successfully evolved the Twenty-Four Heavens, he would definitely be able to get new insights. Once this thought arose, he vaguely felt the opportunity for a breakthrough.

He was overjoyed in his heart, and disregarding his status as an elder, he bowed slightly to Gu Xiu: "Thank you for your guidance, Nephew. It seems my previous cognition was too superficial."

Gu Xiu stepped forward to support him: "Uncle, you are an elder, how can I accept a bow from you?"

"Nephew, there is no order of precedence in the Dao; the one who achieves it first is the master. The kindness of preaching is as heavy as a mountain, so I should bow to you."

Zhao Gongming said solemnly, his tone sincere and firm.

Gu Xiu couldn't say anything more.

After bowing to Gu Xiu, Zhao Gongming straightened up.

"Nephew, then I will go into seclusion to try to evolve the Twenty-Four Heavens."

Having found his breakthrough opportunity, Zhao Gongming couldn't wait to go into seclusion.

Gu Xiu called him to stop again: "Uncle, please wait."

Zhao Gongming stopped, his eyes full of confusion: "Nephew, is there anything else?"

Gu Xiu said: "Evolving the Twenty-Four Heavens requires treasures to stabilize the earth, fire, wind, and water. I wonder if you have such treasures in your hand, Uncle?"

Zhao Gongming pondered slightly: "Nephew, I have a few treasures in my hand. I will go back and try to see if they can be used to stabilize the earth, fire, water, and wind."

Hearing this, Gu Xiu didn't say anything more.

"Then I will wait for your good news outside, Uncle. If you don't have treasures in your hand, Uncle, you can come to find me. I know of one thing that can definitely stabilize the earth, fire, water, and wind, but it is in someone else's hands. It will take some trouble to get it."

Daoist Randeng could evolve the Twenty-Four Heavens and achieve the status of Randeng Ancient Buddha.

He used the Qiankun Ruler in his hand to stabilize the earth, fire, water, and wind, but Zhao Gongming didn't have this treasure, and Gu Xiu wasn't sure if he could succeed.

Hearing Gu Xiu's words, Zhao Gongming thought about it. Since it was someone else's thing.

It was better not to ask for it if it wasn't necessary, especially since it concerned his own Dao path. This karma was very large.

"Thank you for the reminder, Nephew. I still want to try it myself first."

"That's fine." Gu Xiu nodded, not forcing it.

Watching Zhao Gongming leave,

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit looked at Gu Xiu. She didn't expect that Gu Xiu really knew Zhao Gongming's breakthrough opportunity.

You must know that Tongtian didn't know this at all, but Gu Xiu pointed it out directly.

"Junior Brother, how did you know Uncle's breakthrough opportunity?"

Facing the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit's gaze full of confusion, Gu Xiu thought for a while and decided to tease this Senior Sister of his.

"Maybe it's because I know the Sea-Calming Pearls better, Junior Brother."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit frowned slightly, thoughtful: "The Sea-Calming Pearls were bestowed by the Grand Ancestor to Uncle. You haven't come into contact with them, so how could you know them better than Uncle?"

Gu Xiu smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "Senior Sister, things in the world don't all need personal contact to know their mysteries."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit nodded half-believingly.

Seeing that the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit began to believe the lie he made up, Gu Xiu couldn't help but laugh.

Senior Sister seems quite easy to deceive.

"Senior Sister, we have toured enough today, so I will go back first and come to find you to play next time."

Having obtained the Auspicious Beast Divine Pet Pill, Gu Xiu still had to go back and feed it to the Water and Fire Qilin.

By the way, he would think of a way to deal with the Twelve Golden Immortals, send the Twelve Golden Immortals onto the list as soon as possible, and end the Investiture of the Gods.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said: "Junior Brother, then I won't keep you."

Gu Xiu nodded and said goodbye to the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, then left Jin'ao Island and returned to Three Immortals Island.

Returning to Three Immortals Island, Gu Xiu summoned the Water and Fire Qilin.

He fed them the Auspicious Beast Divine Pet Pill.

The aura on the Water and Fire Qilin continued to rise, and the power of water and fire intertwined and entangled around them.

Subsequently, two rays of Taiyi Golden Immortal light shot into the sky on Three Immortals Island, exceptionally dazzling.

It represented that the Water and Fire Qilin had broken through the shackles of the Golden Immortal and reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Seeing that after the Water and Fire Qilin broke through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, their bodies began to change, becoming increasingly powerful and majestic, Gu Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

At this time,

East Kunlun.

Regarding Duobao going to Jade Void Palace to deliver Shen Gongbao's head and return his belongings, the Twelve Golden Immortals were all filled with resentment and were gathering together to discuss countermeasures.

To please the rest of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Master Huanglong was so angry that his face turned red, and he said with righteous indignation: "Brothers, the Jie Sect is too arrogant. Duobao sending Shen Gongbao's head and belongings is a naked provocation. We must carry out a counterattack, otherwise, where will the face of our Chan Sect be!"

However, Huanglong's impassioned speech did not elicit a response from the others.

Everyone ignored Huanglong, and Juliusun spoke.

"Brothers, if we don't do anything about this, those fur-clad and horn-wearing beings of the Jie Sect will definitely ride on our heads in the future."

Chijingzi nodded slightly: "We must let those fur-clad and horn-wearing beings of the Jie Sect know that if they dare to provoke our Chan Sect, our Chan Sect will definitely pay them back a hundredfold!"

Hearing the rest of the Twelve Golden Immortals say this, Guang Chengzi spoke: "Since you brothers have all decided to make the Jie Sect pay the price, I naturally won't object."

At this time, Master Yuding, who had been lowering his head on the side, suddenly spoke: "Can you brothers let me say a word?"

"Yuding, what do you want to say?" Guang Chengzi asked.

Master Yuding said: "The Jie Sect's provocation might be related to you brothers killing Ma Yuan and attacking Yu Yuan, which angered the Jie Sect disciples. Currently, the Jie Sect must be prepared. We should not act rashly, so as not to fall into their schemes."

"Anyway, last time Master Daoxing and I were attacked by Jie Sect disciples in the East Sea, we had already lost all our face. Now losing a little more doesn't matter. We should wait and see the situation first."

It would have been better if Master Yuding hadn't spoken; as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's gaze fell on him.

Juliusun's gaze was filled with annoyance, "Yuding, you still have the nerve to mention this matter. It's enough that you made our Chan Sect lose face, and now you want to drag us along to lose face?"

Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun snorted coldly: "Yuding, you are really living backward. When has our Chan Sect ever been afraid of the Jie Sect? Being so timid, wouldn't that make the Jie Sect even more arrogant!"

Master Huanglong looked, and immediately chose a side: "Junior Brother Yuding, what kind of discouraging words are you saying! Do you mean we should just swallow our anger and let the Jie Sect be rampant?"

Master Taiyi also showed dissatisfaction: "Junior Brother Yuding, are you afraid of the Jie Sect? When has our Chan Sect ever been afraid of anyone."

Master Yuding shook his head with a bitter smile: "Brothers, I am not afraid of the Jie Sect, I just don't want us to fall into an irreparable situation because of a moment of impulse."

If one had to say who among the Twelve Golden Immortals was particularly unlucky, Master Yuding counted as one.

His disciple was snatched away, and when he went to the East Sea to ask for him, he was beaten and fled in a sorry state.

In the end, he had no choice but to choose Yuan Hong as his person to face the calamity.

Master Yuding cultivated the Sword Dao.

Every sword cultivator has their own pride and thinks they are not inferior to others.

Master Yuding naturally thought so too, thinking he was the smartest person among the Twelve Golden Immortals.

He disdained to compete with the rest of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

But ever since the Chan Sect's layout for the Investiture of the Gods was destroyed again and again.

Master Yuding knew that the Jie Sect had already started preparing for the Investiture of the Gods.

They were no longer like before, shrinking on Jin'ao Island, waiting for the Great Calamity to pass, giving the Chan Sect a chance to defeat them one by one.

But the Twelve Golden Immortals had received the inheritance of Yuanshi Tianzun and were all arrogant and proud, having looked down on Jie Sect disciples for so long that it was very difficult for them to change their views all of a sudden.

Seeing that no one listened to his words, Master Yuding was already thinking about how to get out of the Investiture of the Gods if the situation was not right.
