Jiang Ziya Betrays!

Zhao Ge city was in such a ruckus that the sky was about to fall, but Wang Yuan's Immortal Mountain was still a peaceful scene of leisurely years.

Except for Jiang Ziya.

He was drilled by Hu San Mei and the others in various ways every day, living in agony and wishing he were dead.

"Grandma, grandma, it hurts... Please spare me..."

"Ah—don't hit my face..."

"Mom, I want to go home..."

Jiang Ziya cried miserably, truly bringing tears to those who heard and sadness to those who saw.

Wang Yuan watched and secretly curled his lips in his heart.

Is that all?

That's it!

How could a dignified, heaven-ordained Investiture of the Gods person not be able to endure even this little bit of suffering?

Wang Yuan lay on the soft couch, twisting for a long time before finally finding a more comfortable position, sipping the delicious Immortal Apricot Juice.

He thought to himself, so this is the Investiture of the Gods person, I could do it too.

It's just that I can't cultivate.

Wang Yuan tutted and said with disdain, "Look at you, you're making being tortured look like cultivation."

Crap, how did I accidentally say what was on my mind?

Jiang Ziya stopped crying and looked at him with a face full of grief and indignation.

"You guys continue..." Wang Yuan said with a dry laugh, putting his hands behind his back and strolling into the house.

The rattan in Hu Jiu Mei's hand instantly landed on Jiang Ziya's body.

"What are you still looking at! Hurry up and cultivate!"

Pipa and Zhi Zhi squatted under the tree, chatting while munching on melon seeds.

"Zhi Zhi, do you think he'll be beaten to death by Eldest Sister?"

"Probably not, I think he's thick-skinned and should be able to withstand it."

"I'm scared of Eldest Sister now, afraid she'll give me a rattan beating too."

"Me too, I didn't realize Eldest Sister was so violent before."

Pipa looked at Hu Jiu Mei, who was waving the whip not far away, and carefully shrank her head. Eldest Sister is so scary.

Hu Jiu Mei was completely unaware of her two younger sisters' secret discussions. All she was thinking about now was to quickly teach Jiang Ziya to become an immortal, so she could quickly receive Wang Yuan's reward.

There is no calendar in the mountains.

Half a year passed in a flash.

Under the relentless training of Hu Jiu Mei, Pipa, and Zhi Zhi, Jiang Ziya finally straightened up.

After experiencing inhuman, devilish training, Jiang Ziya finally shed his mortal shell and became an immortal on the spot.

Dark clouds billowed above Immortal Mountain, with terrifying lightning flashing within the layers of stacked clouds. The Immortal Ascension Tribulation had arrived!

Wang Yuan was surprised. Eh, why is it going to rain again?

Surprisingly, the dark clouds condensed for a long time, but no lightning struck down. Instead, the dark clouds dispersed on their own.

The grand Immortal Ascension Lightning Tribulation, which had been brewing for so long, ended just like that.

Jiang Ziya was bathed in golden light, shedding his mortal body and finally achieving immortality.

Eh, that's not right, where's this fox stench coming from?

Wang Yuan looked suspiciously at Hu Jiu Mei.

Hu Jiu Mei quickly explained to the Celestial Immortal, "Celestial Immortal, I am already a Heavenly Immortal and can control the scent within my body to prevent it from spreading. It's definitely not me."

"Then what's going on?"

"It... it should be Jiang Ziya."

Ah? Good for you, Jiang Ziya. You look so upright and honest, but I didn't expect you to be secretly...

Eh, that's not right, why does Jiang Ziya have a tail?

The golden light dissipated, revealing Jiang Ziya's body.

It was still the same as before, except that there were three snow-white tails fluttering in the wind behind him.

Wang Yuan was puzzled and quickly asked Hu Jiu Mei, "Jiu Jiu, what's going on?"

Hu Jiu Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be because I had him cultivate the Mount Tu Cultivation Method. After he became an immortal, he became a demon immortal. After shedding his mortal shell, his new immortal body became a demon body."

Ah? A human demon?

The Primordial World is really exciting. The people of the Primordial World really know how to play.

Alright, alright, who cares whether he's a demon immortal or a human immortal, as long as he can become an immortal.

Wang Yuan stroked his chin, and his mind couldn't help but think of Great Nephew.

That guy was at the Qi Induction Stage half a year ago, and he's still at the Qi Induction Stage now. He's really a useless snack. Should I throw him to Hu Jiu Mei and the others to train him too?

Tongtian, who was sitting in meditation in his dojo on Golden Turtle Island, was cultivating diligently when he suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

"Achoo—Achoo—Achoo—"

Tongtian opened his eyes, completely bewildered. Can a Saint catch a cold?

It seems I have to go to Uncle's place to mooch some things to strengthen my physique.

Hmm, after I finish cultivating this technique, I'll go to Uncle's place to mooch some good stuff!

Jiang Ziya stared blankly at his hands, finding it difficult to accept for a moment.

Me, become an immortal? Me! Become an immortal!

Jiang Ziya was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

After forty years of fruitless cultivation under Yuanshi Tianzun, he had only managed to form a Golden Core. Yet, after half a year of hardship in the senior's mountain, he had become an immortal.

The immortal path he had yearned for for forty years was now within easy reach thanks to Wang Yuan.

Now, Jiang Ziya deeply believed in what Wang Yuan had said before.

It must be that Yuanshi Tianzun had deliberately plotted against him, intentionally giving him incomplete cultivation methods.

He had treated Yuanshi Tianzun with the same respect as his own father, but it was all for naught.

Eh, wait a minute? Why do I have a tail?

Jiang Ziya suddenly discovered in horror that he had three snow-white fox tails behind him.

With a thud, Jiang Ziya knelt on the ground, crawling to Wang Yuan and hugging his thigh, bursting into tears.

"Senior, please save me, I don't want to become a monster."

Wang Yuan was speechless. How could this guy be like a child at his age, crying at the slightest thing?

Hu Jiu Mei was annoyed by his crying and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop crying. You are cultivating demonic arts with a human body, you can't become a real demon. At most, you'll just be a human-demon."

Jiang Ziya saw the light again, repeatedly saying, "A human-demon is good, a human-demon is good."

Although judging from the senior's expression, a human-demon didn't seem like a good thing, at least it still had the word 'human' in it.

It's still good to be human.

"Alright, get up. Do you believe what I said now?"

Remembering what Wang Yuan had once said to him, Jiang Ziya looked resentful.

Damn it, that old codger Yuanshi Tianzun never intended for him to become an immortal from the start. He didn't teach him anything good, only wanting him to quickly carry out the Investiture of the Gods on behalf of Heaven, so as to complete his plan.

Jiang Ziya was filled with indignation. If you scheme against me, I'll betray the sect!

"Senior, I've decided, I want to defect from the Chan Sect and serve under you. Please agree."

Wang Yuan quickly waved his hand in refusal.

Is it that Jiu Jiu is not good-looking enough, or that Pipa's figure is not graceful enough, or that Zhi Zhi is not fragrant enough?

I must be out of my mind to let an old geezer like you serve me.

"In my opinion, you staying in the Chan Sect is the greatest revenge against Yuanshi Tianzun."

Jiang Ziya was puzzled, "Senior, why do you say that?"

"You should go to the Chan Sect as a spy, seemingly getting along well with everyone, but secretly finding ways to get them all on the Investiture of the Gods list. When the Investiture of the Gods war ends and Yuanshi Tianzun realizes it, the entire Chan Sect will only have a few cats and dogs left. That would be the best revenge against Yuanshi Tianzun."

Jiang Ziya's eyes lit up. As expected of a senior!
