Yuanshi Joined Forces with the Saints!

But he still lowered his head and asked, "Senior Brother, do you know why Master accepted me as a direct disciple of the Chan Sect?"

Hearing Shen Gongbao ask this, Taiyi Zhenren said with great emotion, "How could we know?"

"Perhaps you're also someone blessed with great destiny!"

Hearing Taiyi Zhenren say this, Yunzhong Xian immediately laughed and said sarcastically, "According to what Senior Brother said, even those hairy beasts can actually stand shoulder to shoulder with us?"

Yu Ding Zhenren immediately chimed in, "How could that be possible?"

Listening as his senior brothers said increasingly cutting things one after another, Shen Gongbao felt extremely embarrassed.

But he truly wasn't someone blessed with great destiny. Perhaps it was only natural for people like them, who possessed great destiny, to reject him.

What was worse was that his Master treated him noticeably better than the other disciples. Anyone who saw this would surely become jealous.

The problems with Shen Gongbao himself, along with the fact that his Master treated him too well, would certainly cause the other disciples of the Chan Sect to dislike him.

Meanwhile, inside Yuxu Palace,

Yuanshi paid no attention to his disciples' thoughts. At this moment, his mind was filled with matters concerning the tribulation.

Shen Gongbao should be the so-called Tribulation Responder. When the time came, the Investiture of the Gods should also be in the hands of our Chan Sect.

But Tongtian was already too powerful. He had no idea how to scheme against him.

Moreover, the Interception Sect had the advantage in numbers. If his Chan Sect wanted to suppress the Interception Sect, it would be harder than reaching the heavens!

"The Interception Sect has yet to withdraw from the mortal world."

"If I don't deal with them now, there won't be such a good opportunity again."

"Sigh..."

Yuanshi could no longer sit still. He paced back and forth inside Yuxu Palace.

But no matter how he thought about it, the only solution was to gather all the sects and scheme against the Interception Sect.

With this thought, Yuanshi immediately set off for the Western Teachings.

The Chan Sect no longer had as many people as the Western Teachings. The Two Western Saints must also be extremely anxious.

Before long, Yuanshi arrived at the Western Teachings.

The moment they saw Yuanshi, the two saints already understood his purpose.

Without any unnecessary words, they joined forces.

Together, they would deal with Tongtian!

Having achieved his goal, Yuanshi was in no hurry to return, because he knew this was far from enough.

He planned to ally with several more saints.

A moment later, Yuanshi arrived at Eight Views Palace.

At that moment, Yuanshi and Taishang sat facing each other in silence.

Although the Human Sect had very few disciples—extremely few—

the strength of his disciples was quite impressive. They were no weaker than Duobao of the Interception Sect, especially his eldest disciple, Xuandu!

Although Taishang did not refuse, he did not agree either. He said, "Give me some more time to think about it."

Yuanshi then left directly. He still had to go to Wa Huang Palace.

Nuwa was also a powerhouse like Taishang. If she agreed to join them, it would be more than enough to suppress Tongtian.

At that moment, after hearing what Yuanshi had come to say, she felt deeply troubled.

No matter how they fought among themselves, she did not want to be dragged into this conflict.

But she could not make things too absolute with Yuanshi, either.

After considering it again and again, she decided to send her disciple to join them, while keeping herself out of it.

Her only disciple was sent to reincarnate in the lower realm, after which he would rejoin the Chan Sect and contribute to it.

Seeing Nuwa handle things this way, Yuanshi left in high spirits.

Given the current situation, Tongtian was now fighting alone.

Although Taishang had not yet agreed to help them, he certainly would not stand on Tongtian's side.

Hmph!

He wanted to see what kind of waves Tongtian could still stir up when the time came.

Whenever he recalled the humiliation Tongtian had inflicted on him, his entire body still trembled!

Hongjun basically no longer cared about anything. The only thing he cared about was the tribulation.

At that moment, Tongtian had already noticed Yuanshi's actions.

But he did not take them to heart at all.

Tongtian did not fear him, no matter how much he jumped around. So what if he found helpers?

He had already reached the fifth heaven of the Great Dao Saint realm. If he could take another step forward, then once he unleashed his sword formation, even if all the saints came together, they would not be his match.

That was why strength gave one the confidence to speak boldly!

In the lower realm,

Human society had been constantly advancing.

A powerful nation had now appeared: the Shang Dynasty!

One day in the Shang Dynasty, birds sang in unison, a rainbow formed a bridge, and golden light shone over the palace complex.

These celestial phenomena signified that an emperor was about to be born!

His name was Di Xin!

Inside a certain palace, the emperor summoned Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong and slowly said, "I already know that I won't live much longer."

"After I die, I hope you'll take good care of Di Xin for me!"

"Protect the future of my Shang Dynasty!"

Wen Zhong listened carefully to every word of his instructions and said firmly, "Please rest easy!"

"As long as I'm alive, Di Xin will certainly be fine, and the Shang Dynasty will certainly be fine as well."

After Di Yi finished speaking of what concerned him most, he finally set down the heavy burden in his heart.

A year later, Di Yi passed away.

At that time, Di Xin was still far too young, so the Grand Preceptor temporarily managed the affairs of the Shang Dynasty on his behalf.

When Di Xin turned sixteen, he successfully became the emperor of the Shang Dynasty. Whenever anyone voiced dissatisfaction with the emperor, the Grand Preceptor dealt with it all on Di Xin's behalf.

The Grand Preceptor's authority was such that no one dared challenge him!

With the help of Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong, Di Xin grew up carefree.

The great tribulation was about to arrive. It was already imminent.

Inside Biyou Palace,

Tongtian closely monitored the affairs of the Human Race.

Just then, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Tongtian's mind. This inspiration concerned Di Xin.

If he accepted Di Xin as his disciple, could he link the fate of the Interception Sect with that of the Shang Dynasty?

If so, the Shang Dynasty would obtain the full force of the Human Race's destiny!

That would benefit both the Shang Dynasty and the Interception Sect.

"Yuanshi seems to have linked himself with the nation of Xi Qi. Then I'll link myself with the Shang Dynasty!"

"Wouldn't that make things even more interesting?"

Yuanshi wants to rely on Xi Qi to deal with my Interception Sect's people, sending my disciples onto the list as a matter of course.

You have your stratagem, and I have my countermeasure.

Just wait.

I'll make the Shang Dynasty swallow your Xi Qi!

That way, the Shang Dynasty's destiny will become even stronger, and everyone sent onto the Investiture of the Gods will be disciples of the Chan Sect!

"Ding-dong!"

Congratulations, you have triggered a hidden option!

Option One: Accept Di Xin as your disciple. You will receive one section of Chaos Blood Jade Marrow and one Origin Fragment (Sword Dao Laws)!
