The Clarify and Interception Sects prepare for war! The Person destined for the Tribulation, storms rise again in the Primordial Wilderness!

Golden Ao Island.

Jade Palace.

A streak of azure sword light descended from the Nine Heavens Above, piercing through layers of immortal arrays, and instantly disappeared into the depths of the majestic palace.

The figure of the Tongtian Sect Master appeared in the main hall.

"Duobao, come see me."

Before long, Dao Body hurriedly walked in from outside the hall and bowed to the Tongtian Sect Master.

"Disciple Duobao greets Master."

"May you rest in peace, Master."

The Tongtian Sect Master looked at his eldest disciple, and his expression softened slightly.

Get up.

"Yes, Master." Duobao straightened up and stood quietly to the side, waiting for his master's instructions.

He could sense that his master was extremely unsettled today.

The Tongtian Sect Master spoke directly.

"Today, I will travel to the Purple Cloud Palace again with your Senior Uncle and second Senior Uncle."

"We directly refused to Investiture of the Gods."

Upon hearing this, Duobao felt a sense of relief, but then his heart tightened again.

Not signing seems like a good thing.

But how could one easily disobey the Imperial Edict of the Dao Ancestor?

Then the Tongtian Sect Master continued speaking.

"However, although the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods has not been signed, the Tribulation will eventually begin."

"The Dao Ancestor has already issued Imperial Edict."

"During the Tribulation, everyone relies on their own abilities; the victors live freely, while the losers... are listed on the leaderboard."

Duobao felt a chill run down his spine.

Each according to their own ability...

These four words signify a brutal battle.

"Disciple understands."

The Tongtian Sect Master nodded slightly and continued.

"The Tribulation will begin in ten thousand years."

"However, this Tribulation is different from those of the past."

"The Dao Ancestor said that in this Tribulation, there are those Person destined for the Tribulation."

"This person will be born ten thousand years from now, possessing... the Auspicious sign of a flying bear."

"The Dao Ancestor declared that this person would wield the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip, and would bestow Investiture of the Gods on behalf of Heaven."

"Whoever can take this person as their disciple will be able to wield the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip, and preside over this great undertaking of Investiture of the Gods."

Duobao's eyes lit up instantly.

He wields the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip!

Presiding over the Investiture of the Gods!

This... this is practically controlling the entire course of the Tribulation!

He instantly understood the importance of this matter.

Whoever obtains this Person destined for the Tribulation will be invincible during this Tribulation!

This Person destined for the Tribulation will inevitably become the focus of contention between the Interception Sect and the Clarify Sect!

The Tongtian Sect Master looked at him and said in a deep voice.

"You shall immediately inform all disciples of the Interception Sect of this matter."

"Let them begin their seclusion and quiet cultivation from this day forward, and prepare themselves well."

"Ten thousand years later, you may descend the mountain and travel through the Primordial Wilderness wilderness."

"If we can find the Person destined for the Tribulation with the Auspicious sign of a flying bear, we must bring them back to Golden Ao Island."

"If he becomes my disciple, my Interception Sect will be able to seize absolute initiative during the Tribulation!"

Upon hearing this, Duobao immediately bowed and paid his respects.

"Disciple obeys!"

"Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely inform all my fellow disciples about this!"

"Ten thousand years from now, the Jie Sect Disciple will traverse the Primordial Wilderness to find the Person destined for the Tribulation for our master!"

His voice was strong and resolute, full of determination.

The Tongtian Sect Master looked at him, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Go."

"This disciple takes his leave!"

Duobao bowed again, and his figure disappeared into the main hall.

Soon, Imperial Edict flew out of the Jade Palace and landed in the Cave Abode of the disciples of the Interception Sect.

Zhao Gongming, the Sanxiao Maidens, the Saint Mother Jinling, the Saint Mother Wudang...

"Refuse to Investiture of the Gods! Let's rely on our own abilities!"

"Find the Person destined for the Tribulation! The Auspicious sign of a flying bear!"

"To wield the Investiture of the Gods, and to Investiture of the Gods on behalf of Heaven!"

In an instant, the entire Interception Sect was abuzz with excitement among all the immortals!

"Each relying on their own abilities? Then let's rely on our own abilities! We Jie Sect Disciple have never been afraid of anyone!"

"Those hypocritical fellows from the Clarify Sect, I've disliked them for a long time!"

"We must teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

"Ten thousand years from now, we must find that Person destined for the Tribulation! And seize a glimmer of the Interception Sect for our Jie Sect!"

Countless Jie Sect Disciple were filled with high fighting spirit.

Far from being afraid of the impending Tribulation, they were instead inspired with boundless fighting spirit by the phrase "each relying on their own abilities."

The Interception Sect has never feared war!

at the same time.

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

The figure of Yuanshi Tianzun quietly appeared on the cloud bed.

He was surrounded by Surrounding Body light, his face was cold and stern, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Guangchengzi, summon all of you junior brothers to come to the Jade Void Palace to see me."

A detached voice rang out.

Dao Body stepped out from the palace, holding a jade chime, and gently tapped it.

Thump!

The clear, melodious sound of the bell resounded Kunlun.

Not long after.

Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, True Person Yuding, True Person Taiyi...

Twelve Golden Light figures filed in, bowing in unison before the Yuanshi Tianzun on the High Platform.

"Disciple greets Master, may Master be well."

"Um."

Yuanshi Tianzun responded calmly, his gaze sweeping over his Twelve Ancestral Witches most prized disciples below, his resolve growing ever stronger.

These people are the foundation of his Clarify Sect's Dao Lineage and the hope for the future of Mystic Gate; they must not be lost!

None of them can be on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods!

He felt utterly cold inside.

Tongtian...

Do you think that just because you have many Jie Sect Disciple, you can defeat me?

Wishful thinking!

"Today, I am at the Purple Cloud Palace, refusing to Investiture of the Gods."

Upon hearing this, the Twelve Golden Immortals, including Guangchengzi and Chijingzi, all showed expressions of joy.

They naturally did not want to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods, to be driven by the Heavenly Court, and to sever their own Immortal Path.

"Master is wise!" all the disciples bowed in unison.

Yuanshi Tianzun remained completely calm and continued speaking.

"The Dao Ancestor's Imperial Edict has been issued; throughout this Tribulation, each will rely on their own abilities."

The victor will safely weather this calamity.

"The loser dies and their True Spirit is listed on the leaderboard."

"Ten thousand years later, the Tribulation will begin."

"The key to this Tribulation lies with one person."

"This person possesses the Auspicious sign of a flying bear, and is destined by Heaven to Person destined for the Tribulation. He will wield the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip, and will bestow Investiture of the Gods on behalf of Heaven."

"... Whoever can find this person can preside over the Investiture of the Gods."

Upon hearing this, the Twelve Golden Immortals below were all shaken to their core.

They instantly understood the significance of this.

"What Master means is..."

Guangchengzi, as the leader of the disciples, stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"This person is related to the Fortune of our Clarify Sect, and to whether you can safely overcome this tribulation."

"You must submit to my Clarify Sect!"

"Disciple understands."

"This Person destined for the Tribulation is ordained by Heaven to be a pillar of our Clarify Sect, and should rightfully become a disciple of our Master to glorify our Yuqing Dao Lineage."

"Ten thousand years from now, we disciples will descend the mountain to search for this person and bring him back to Kunlun, ensuring that those bastards of the Interception Sect have no chance to take advantage of him!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in satisfaction.

He sneered inwardly.

Tongtian, that scoundrel, has many disciples, but most of them are born from eggs and are covered in fur and horns. They have little fortune and are burdened by Karma.

How could Person destined for the Tribulation destined for Fortune and calamity possibly have any connection with them?

This is what I Clarify Sect!

"It is good that you understand." Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice.

"Such a person, destined by Heaven, should rightfully enter the Orthodox Daoist Sect and inherit the lineage of my Yuqing Dao Lineage, so as not to waste their innate talent and good fortune."

"During these ten thousand years, you must diligently cultivate yourselves and not slacken your efforts."

"Ten thousand years later, all twelve of you shall descend the mountain to find the Person destined for the Tribulation."

"Remember, this matter is doomed to failure!"

The Twelve Golden Immortals responded in unison.

"Yes, Master!"

"Disciple will humbly obey Master's Imperial Edict!"

"For the sake of the Clarify Sect, we disciples will surely find the Person destined for the Tribulation and bring him back to Kunlun Mountain!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in satisfaction.

"Go."

"Yes!"

The Twelve Golden Immortals bowed once more, then transformed into streaks of Golden Light and withdrew from the Jade Void Palace.

Eight Views Palace.

The Taiqing Saint sat cross-legged on Cushion, his aura of Non-action and tranquility permeating the entire palace.

He slowly opened his eyes, and in those calm, still eyes, he saw the only figure in the hall.

His Named Disciple, True Person Ziyang.

"Ziyang."

The voice of the Taiqing Saint was as calm as ever.

"Disciple is here." True Person Ziyang bowed quickly.

"Ten thousand years from now, Tribulation will begin," the Taiqing Saint said slowly.

"Until this Tribulation ends, you shall remain in the Eight Views Palace, cultivate diligently, and not leave."

Upon hearing this, True Person Ziyang felt much more at ease.

With the master's protection, staying in this Eight Views Palace, one is naturally immune to all calamities.

He immediately kowtowed.

"Disciple thanks Master for your protection."

But then he seemed to realize something, and a hint of hesitation crossed his face.

"Master..."

What is it?

True Person Ziyang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Reporting to Master, your disciple... has another disciple named Bian Zhuang."

He is currently in seclusion in his disciple's Cave Abode, cultivating his spiritual practice.

"This disciple is worried that when the Tribulation begins, it may affect him..."

"I humbly beg Master's mercy, could you... could you also allow him to come to this Eight Views Palace to temporarily escape this calamity?"

"Let him leave after the Tribulation has passed."

After saying this, he bowed deeply, not daring to raise his head.

He knew that his request was somewhat unreasonable.

The Eight Views Palace is a place of quiet cultivation for Saint; it is so noble that ordinary beings cannot simply come here.

I am merely Named Disciple name only, and to be under my master's protection is already an immense blessing. How dare I plead for my own disciple?

Bian Zhuang wasn't even Named Disciple of the Human Sect; he was merely his apprentice.

Master, will you agree?

A long silence fell over the Eight Views Palace.

True Person Ziyang lay prostrate on the ground, feeling as if time was passing endlessly, each breath an agony.

He was even prepared to be rejected by his master, or even punished.

for a long time.

The calm and unwavering voice of the Taiqing Saint rang out once more.

"Can."

There is only one word.

True Person Ziyang was taken aback at first, then overjoyed!

Master... has agreed!

Overwhelmed with emotion, he repeatedly kowtowed before the High Platform.

"Disciple Ziyang kowtows to express gratitude to Master for His divine grace!"

"On behalf of my unworthy disciple Bian Zhuang, I kowtow in gratitude to my Master for His divine grace!"

The Taiqing Saint looked at him and simply waved his hand slightly.

"Go."

"Bring him here."

"Yes, thank you, Master."
