Chapter 351 - Your Name Is The Wonderful Seven Treasures Tree!
Chapter 351 Your Name Is The Wonderful Seven Treasures Tree!
As the saying went, “One should hit it where it hurts.”
The Dao Sect suppressed the spiritual mountain. The other party had pushed out a scapegoat. Zhao Gongming managed to tackle the fatal points of those people by telling them to prove themselves with an oath.
How could he swear to prove himself?
Wouldn’t he be exposed once his oath was testified?
At that moment, an old Daoist priest immediately changed his expression and rebuked angrily, “Does your Dao Sect not have any other means to prove the truth other than the Heavenly Dao Oath!?!”
Zhao Gongming’s expression sank. His beard fluttered in the wind, and his eyes lit up. He held a golden wooden whip in his hand, and twenty-four stars appeared behind him.
At the same time, a few figures walked forward and stood beside Zhao Gongming!
The Goddess of Golden Spirit was dressed in a golden dress that was glistening. She held the Dragon Tiger Ruyi and five balls of golden light appeared behind her.
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit held a light green bell in her hand and followed behind her senior sister. Her gaze became sharper.
Chi Jingzi held the Yin-Yang mirror and was dressed in the Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe. His aura was long and far away, like a wisp of smoke that extended beyond the Nine Heavens.
Perfected Taiyi walked forward with his hands behind his back. There was a treasure shield hanging above his head, and the nine azure dragons lying on it looked like they would come to life at any moment. There was a jade tripod above Perfected Yuding’s head. The jade tripod shone with seven-colored light and enveloped his body, as if a Connate God had descended.
Perfected Huang Long shook his sleeves and turned to look at the treasures of his fellow disciples and fellow disciples next door.
He felt a little sad…
There were not many of them. However, the few experts stepped forward and advanced together with Zhao Gongming. The power of the Dao Sect made the Qi Refinement cultivators on the spiritual mountain speechless.
Behind them, the Great Daoist Master, Guang Chengzi, and Daoist Duobao stood proudly.
The immortals from the three sects, who were either famous or nameless, were all eager to try…
The waves that were about to rise in the hearts of the Qi Refinement cultivators on the spiritual mountain were smacked to death in their hearts.
The immortals of the Dao Sect directly used their actions to prove that they naturally had other means, but they were afraid that the Western Sect members could not withstand it.
“Let him take the oath.” An old Daoist priest said softly. The old Daoists’ eyes were filled with grief and indignation.
The middle-aged Daoist trembled a few times. He suddenly turned his head and knelt in the direction of the spiritual mountain. In an instant, he cried.
“Sect Master! Sect Master! My actions have tarnished the reputation of the spiritual mountain and disgraced the dignity of the Sect Master!”
At the same time, in a corner of the spiritual mountain, Ksitigarbha was talking to the old Daoist priest who was sitting under the shade of the tree. At that moment, the scapegoat was being controlled by the old Daoist priest.
They seemed to have a tacit understanding…
In the Great Daoist Master’s sleeve, Li Changshou used the paper effigy to send a voice transmission to remind him. Immediately, a mysterious and obscure Yin-Yang Dao rune appeared around the Great Daoist Master.
They were hundreds of kilometers apart and separated by a huge array. The two of them exchanged blows again. On the other hand, the old Daoist priest had gained the guidance of Ksitigarbha. He controlled the middle-aged Daoist priest, who had had his soul bewitched, to turn around and kowtow to the spiritual mountain and call out the Sect Master.
Then, the middle-aged Daoist stood up and turned to face the experts of the Dao Sect. His eyes were filled with grief and indignation.
“Zhao Gongming was the one who bullied me first. Although I was the one who spread that rumor, I only did it because I was too impulsive. Why is there such a huge commotion in the Dao Sect? You are just using the topic to make a fuss. You are using the suppression of the Western Sect to show off your Dao Sect’s prestige and might! How absurd! Alright! Today, I will show your Dao Sect’s reputation! Let’s see how you repay the karma of the Western Sect!”
After saying that, the person’s aura surged. Golden light shone in his body, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered rapidly. He was actually going to self-destruct!
However, just as the light around him lit up, a huge hand appeared out of thin air before the self-destruction could touch his essence soul. It pressed on his shoulder and instantly sealed his immortal power.
The immortals from both sides were stunned.
They looked in the direction of the palm and saw an arm and a spinning Taiji Painting…
The three old Daoists on the side of the spiritual mountain immediately attacked. However, just as they moved, the arm dragged the middle-aged Daoist into the Taiji Painting!
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged Daoist appeared in front of Zhao Gongming and was suppressed by the five Sea-Calming Divine Pearls!
That change happened too quickly.
No one had expected the Great Daoist Master to be so casual and catch the “key figure” in front of the experts of the Western Sect!
The old Daoists from the spiritual mountain pretended to charge forward. The immortals from the Dao Sect moved forward together. The pressure was even stronger, causing the old Daoists to not dare to move forward.
The Great Daoist Master said leisurely, “I haven’t made myself clear yet. Why are you in a hurry to kill yourself? Tell me in detail about the cause and effect of this matter and how you spread the rumors. Then, tell me if there are any accomplices. The Dao Sect will punish you. Whether you want to kill yourself or not is your own choice. What karma does it have with the Dao Sect?”
The middle-aged Daoist widened his eyes in grief and indignation.
An old Daoist priest from the spiritual mountain cursed, “This is the Aparagodānīya Continent. My Sect Master is in front of me! Your disciples from the Dao Sect took action to attack the people from the Western Sect. Do you take the pride of the Saint seriously!?!”
“Fellow Daoist, don’t talk about the pride of the Saint.”
Daoist Duobao said calmly, “You and I are both disciples of the Saint. The pride of the Saint should be protected by us disciples. It should not be that he is secretly despicable and has destroyed his own foundation. Now that there is nothing we can do, he has mentioned the pride of the Saint and used it as his protective treasure. In this case, are we going to embarrass the Saint, or are you going to tear off the pride of your Saint and throw it in front of us?”
The old Daoist priest’s face turned red as he scolded, “Fellow Daoist, your twisted cultivation level is really impressive!”
Guang Chengzi said, “Fellow Daoist, according to what you said, wouldn’t the Western Sect be embarrassing the Grandmaster of Heaven by spreading rumors and slandering the Dao Sect’s Jie School?”
“It’s just a rumor. What does it have to do with the Saint’s pride?”
Another old Daoist priest from the spiritual mountain “stood up” and smiled. “What happened today is actually just a personal grudge between the two of them. The Dao Sect and the Western Sect were established by the Saint. Why is everyone so stiff? Why don’t we let Fellow Daoist Zhao Gongming decide?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Perfected Taiyi said leisurely, “The Western Sect is really powerful. We’re reasonable, but you guys are just talking about being thick-skinned. We’re talking about being thick-skinned, and you guys are talking about relationships again. The Western Sect has already spoken kindly. Could it be that the Dao Sect is bullying the weak today?” The old Daoist priest smiled and said, “I didn’t mean that. However, since you said that…”
“That’s right.” Perfected Taiyi nodded slowly and interrupted the old Daoist priest. He said calmly, “We came here today to bully you pushovers. If you’re not convinced, we’ll beat you. If you’re convinced, then hold it in.”
Li Changshou almost laughed out loud when he heard that.
Perfected Tai Yi was an interesting person.
As the two of them fought, the Western Sect could no longer hold their ground. That made Li Changshou sigh.
The immortals of the Dao Sect usually looked rather simple and pure. That was because the Dao Sect had been peaceful for too long. They did not need to spend time scheming against each other.
Today, he had revealed a little of his eloquence to show the true colors of the immortals of the three sects.

At that moment, Zhao Gongming ignored the sullen expressions of the old Daoists from the Western Sect. He lowered his head and looked at the person beside him. He put away the two Sea-Calming Divine Pearls so that the person could speak.
“Tell me, how did you spread the rumors?”
11The middle-aged Daoist looked angry, but he quickly hid it. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Gongming took out an old portrait from his sleeve and threw it in front of the middle-aged Daoist.
“After you’re done explaining. you still have to take the oath.”
The person’s expression changed again. At that moment, he was being controlled by an expert from the Dao Sect and did not even have the chance to turn around. How could he swear?
The moment he stood up, he would be exposed. The Western Sect’s reputation would be ruined, and the Saints’ pride would drop drastically. The Western Sect would probably become a laughing stock in the Primordial World. If he were to say that he and the Western Sect were fated, he would have to rely on curses to control people’s minds! The old Daoists on the spiritual mountain pondered together. The immortals from the Dao Sect pressed forward.
Zhao Gongming heard the voice transmission by his ear again. Li Changshou was reminding him carefully…
“Brother, be careful. The Saint is about to appear.”
As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, rays of light filled the sky above the spiritual mountain. A sigh sounded from all directions. Many immortals from the three sects were shocked.
Could they really force the Saint of the Western Sect to appear today?
If the other party’s Saint appeared first, they could be considered to have achieved perfection today. Now, the Primordial World was the era of the six Saints. It would be a great victory if they could force the Saint to appear once!
In the light, clouds condensed out of thin air and pieced together the image of a Saint that was tens of thousands of feet tall.
The Dharma Form slowly raised his hand. A golden ray of light surged out of the clouds and slowly smashed towards Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming was about to retaliate when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the Great Daoist Master. He flashed and blocked Zhao Gongming and the other disciples of the Dao Sect behind him.
The Taiji Painting appeared, and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda appeared too!
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du did not say a word. His eyes flickered with divine light, and the Dao runes around him revolved. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda above his head emitted the aura of the Mysterious Yellow Dao. The Taiji Painting in his palm expanded in the wind.
The golden light smashed into a treasure tree.
The treasure tree was dozens of feet tall. It did not have many forks, but its branches and leaves were lush. It flickered with Seven Treasures spiritual light and contained the Connate Great Dao. It was also supported by the Dao runes unique to Saints!
This tree was called the Wonderful Seven Treasures. This treasure had once seen the Primordial Chaos Dao.
In the blink of an eye, the Seven Treasures Tree swept over. Its target was actually the middle-aged Daoist in front of Zhao Gongming.
The Taiji Painting stopped halfway. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a thirty-feet diameter and blocked the flying treasure tree in the air. One attacked while the other defended. The moment the two Connate treasures came into contact, the Great Dao trembled and rippled. A vertical shock wave swept up and down, causing the spiritual energy in a radius of 50,000 kilometers to stir.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the sea of clouds collapsed, and the ground cracked open. A faint white mark was left in the sky, spreading for tens of thousands of kilometers…
He looked at the two treasures that had been held together for a while!
The Taiji Painting and Yin-Yang Qi rotated gently. The Wonderful Seven Treasures Tree actually wanted to smash straight onto the ground for an instant!
Fortunately, another wisp of Dao runes wrapped around the Wonderful Seven Treasures Tree. The Wonderful Seven Treasures Tree flashed and returned to the cloud image above the spiritual mountain. The Great Daoist Master’s expression remained unchanged. He was not panting. His Dao runes were safe and sound. He opened his left hand and the Taiji Painting returned.
“Aunt-Master, why did you suddenly attack? Did we offend the Saint?”.
The cloud Dharma idol emitted a Dao rune…
“I already know about what happened today. If any bad disciples cause trouble, the Western Sect will punish them.”
Just as Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was about to continue speaking, the paper effigy in his sleeve raised his hand and poked his arm…
He had already won today.
The Great Daoist Master remained calm and stuffed the Cosmic Ruler into his sleeve. He let Li Changshou hold it and communicated with him using his mind.
As soon as Li Changshou picked up the call, he sensed the crazy spiritual will of the Pagoda Master.
“Boss Tu is awesome! Boss Tu is awesome! That little sapling broke it! How dare he take out the damned Seven Treasure bonsai and embarrass himself!”
Then, he heard a wisp of aloof spiritual will that was difficult to distinguish.
“Little disciple is here. Be careful. You’re considered a senior.”
The Pagoda Master immediately fell silent.
Let’s get down to business. The Great Daoist Master asked what to do next. He wanted to ridicule the Western Sect. Saint Zhun Ti had already appeared twice. With his previous experience, if his side was too weak, he would only be filled with anger.
Li Changshou had already reacted. He used the treasures to conceal himself and sent a voice transmission.
The Great Daoist Master quickly smiled confidently. He looked up at the Saint’s Dharma painting and felt the gazes of his junior brothers and sisters that were filled with admiration.
“Aunt-Master, although this person’s rumor is trivial, it almost caused a civil war between the two sects.”
The cloud Dharma said, “Since I have already spoken, there is no karma here. What else are you unhappy about?”.
Many anxious immortals from Jie School wanted to retort, but Daoist Duobao secretly suppressed them with his aura.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Since the Saint has appeared, we should retreat. We will not dare to offend the Saint’s pride. However, what happened today concerns the foundation of the Dao Sect. If we leave like this, how will we deal with people who create rumors and create trouble in the future?”
Saint Zhun Ti spoke again.
“From today onwards, the spiritual mountain will be sealed for a thousand years. Without my orders, disciples are not allowed to go out.”
The old Daoists of the spiritual mountain lowered their heads and agreed.
Many immortals from the Dao Sect pondered over those words carefully and quickly realized the problem.
Does this mean that I can go out as I please if I have the orders of a Saint?
Daoist Duobao took out a jade token and tapped it in front of the immortals. “Ling Ya, is Master in the palace? Oh, he is here. Don’t disturb Master first. If anything happens here, I’ll go and tell Master.
Yes… Yes, yes, I’m on the spiritual mountain. My disciple and Junior Brother Gongming have been bullied… The Western Saint has already appeared. He might not be able to return…”
The jade token trembled slightly and a few sounds of agreement could be heard.
Then, Daoist Duobao put away the jade token and walked forward. He stood together with the Great Daoist Master and looked at the Saint’s Dharma Idol in the sky.
Duobao said softly, “Senior Brother Xuan Du, shall we fight the Western Sect today?”
“Don’t be rude to the Saint.” The Great Daoist Master lectured with a straight face. “Respecting the Saint of the Western Sect is tantamount to respecting the three teachers. The Saint has transcended the mortal world and is omnipotent. His pride is greater than everything else.”
Duobao smiled and said, “Senior Brother, you’ve misunderstood. I want to spar with these fellow Daoists. How can I dare to attack the Saint? The Western Sect was originally a blessed land for peace and serenity. For some reason, there are so many dirty deeds that made the Saint feel embarrassed. Perhaps the Saint will be grateful to us for doing this.”
As soon as the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School finished speaking, the immortals of Jie School looked at the Dharma body of the Saint Zhun Ti. The expressions of the old Daoists of the Western Sect were gloomy. They were about to prepare for the next wave of confrontation.
Another sigh sounded…
The Saint Zhi Ti said slowly, “The Dao Sect will naturally prosper. Why are you making fun of the Western Sect? The karma today will be severed with this disciple. The karma between Zhao Gongming and the Western Sect will be written off.”
As soon as the Saint finished speaking, the middle-aged Daoist in front of Zhao Gongming and the precious “scroll” turned into ashes and collapsed!
Li Changshou’s Dao heart trembled.
This Saint had actually directly affected the Great Dao of Karma!
Saint Zhun Ti asked again, “How is it?”
The Great Daoist Master pondered and quickly bowed to the Saint.
“Since that’s the case, we naturally have to respect Uncle-Master’s decree.”
Daoist Duobao looked at the old Daoists of the spiritual mountain and sighed. “You actually want the Saint to personally take action. Are you really not anxious?”
After saying that, Duobao bowed to the Saint and said, “The karma has been resolved. It’s not convenient for us to disturb you.”
Guang Chengzi stood up at the right time and said loudly, “Uncle-Master, please understand. My teacher often says that we have to observe the candidates’ character and background when taking in disciples. As the saying goes, the Dao is not to be lightly imparted. He did not want to tarnish the reputation of the Western Sect because of a few evil disciples. Today’s karma is over. We will take our leave.”
At that moment, the immortals of Chan School and Jie School bowed to the Aspects of the Saints. Then, they turned around and left on the cloud.
The Great Daoist Master, Duobao, and Guang Chengzi stayed for a while longer. After Zhao Gongming and the others retreated safely, they bowed to the Aspect of the Saint and left.
Before he left, Daoist Duobao sighed and spread it throughout the world.
“The pride of a Saint is a treasure that our disciples are willing to risk their lives to protect. These disciples of the Western Sect don’t even dare to say anything. I wonder what’s the use of the Saint accepting them.”
“Be careful with your words.” Guang Chengzi instructed.
The last sound was a chuckle from the Great Daoist Master.
