After the great battle between the Wu and Yao tribes, the Chaos Bell had vanished. Now, it had directly appeared in the General Store.
If it were only the Chaos Bell, Bixiao wouldn't have thought Wu Feng was a Saint, or even someone beyond a Saint.
This was because after seeing the Chaos Bell, she saw another treasure: the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Axe.
The Pangu Axe was the weapon of the Great God Pangu.
Who was the Great God Pangu? Legend had it that after fighting countless demon gods in the chaos, he eventually perished.
However, his body transformed into the current Primordial World.
Most of the beings in the Primordial World evolved from Pangu's body.
Even Bixiao was the same.
The legendary Saint, one of the Three Pure Ones, her teacher the Master of the Heavens, was formed from one of Great God Pangu's Primordial Spirits.
It was precisely because she saw the Pangu Axe that Wu Feng's status in Bixiao's heart grew higher and higher.
"Beyond a Saint?" Qiongxiao was stunned. She looked at Bixiao as if she were an idiot. "Bixiao, did you hit your head somewhere? Are you talking nonsense right now? Beyond a Saint, how could you possibly meet someone like that?"
Beyond a Saint, that seemed to be only the legendary Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Bixiao met the Master of the Heavens' teacher, was that even possible?
"Second Sister, my head is fine. I'm completely normal right now," Bixiao said, word by word. "I really met a Senior who is beyond a Saint."
"Oh, if you met them, you met them then." Qiongxiao nodded, but her expression remained dismissive.
This made Bixiao realize that her second sister still didn't believe her.
"I really met them," Bixiao said loudly. "Why don't you believe me?"
"Bixiao, what happened after that?" Yunxiao interjected.
"Eldest Sister is the most reasonable," Bixiao quickly nodded. "Unlike Second Sister, whose words are so venomous."
"..." Qiongxiao's delicate eyebrows twitched. She wanted to teach her sister a good lesson.
"Eldest Sister is the smartest. Later, in the Senior's shop, I saw something: the Investiture of the Gods Edict," Bixiao said slowly.
"Investiture of the Gods Edict?" Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were stunned.
They hadn't heard of it.
However, the word "Investiture of the Gods" twice, they remembered vividly.
It was precisely because they had experienced the Investiture of the Gods Calamity that they had become the way they were now.
They had become Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court.
Although Haotian, due to the Master of the Heavens, wouldn't casually command these disciples of the Intercepting Sect, they had lost their freedom compared to the past.
So, did the Investiture of the Gods Edict Bixiao mentioned have anything to do with the Investiture of the Gods List?
But even if it did, what connection did it have to them?
"Yes, it's the Investiture of the Gods Edict. You probably don't know its function," Bixiao giggled. "Let me tell you, if you use the Investiture of the Gods Edict, you can make us escape the Investiture of the Gods List and reshape our physical bodies. That way, we won't be bound by the Investiture of the Gods List and become some Immortal or God of the Heavenly Court."
"What?" Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were equally shocked.
Chapter 45: Zhao Gongming, the True Lord of the Dragon-Tiger Altar
It was no wonder Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were shocked by Bixiao's words.
After all, once they were on the Investiture of the Gods List, they became a part of it. Even a Saint might not be able to do anything about it.
After all, the Investiture of the Gods List was a product of the Calamity and, to some extent, closely related to the Heavenly Dao.
How could Saints like the Master of the Heavens defy the Heavenly Dao?
But now, Yunxiao and the others heard that there was something that could allow them to escape the Investiture of the Gods List.
"Bixiao, you can't lie about this thing," Qiongxiao said seriously.
"Second Sister, I might joke about some things, but how could I joke about something this important?" Bixiao shook her head.
"Bixiao, are you telling the truth?" Yunxiao said sternly. "Why do you know that thing is useful to us? Perhaps the Senior you mentioned is deceiving you."
"Deceive me?" Bixiao said repeatedly. "I'm just a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. What could a Senior possibly deceive me about? We aren't disciples of the Intercepting Sect anymore."
"This..." Yunxiao and Qiongxiao hesitated.
What Bixiao said made a lot of sense.
Currently, they truly didn't have the qualifications to be deceived.
They didn't have any treasures on them.
For Bixiao to consider someone a Senior, it would mean they were at least a Quasi-Saint or above.
They shouldn't have anything on them that a Quasi-Saint would covet.
"Moreover, in the Senior's General Store, I saw an incredible item," Bixiao said in a low voice. "The Chaos Bell, legendary weapon of the former Heavenly Emperor of the Yao tribe, Donghuang Taiyi, is in the Senior's General Store."
"The Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell," Yunxiao exclaimed.
This legendary treasure is truly renowned.
As disciples of the Intercepting Sect, the Three Xiaos had heard of it.
Compared to it, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, which once shone brightly during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, were completely incomparable.
Furthermore, during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, aside from Saints intervening, the degree of brutality in the battles could not compare to the Witch-Demon Calamity.
"Yes, it's the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell," Bixiao nodded. "I saw it myself. An Innate Supreme Treasure is truly worthy of its name."
"How is that possible? The Chaos Bell went missing," Yunxiao said, disbelief etched on her face.
"I was shocked at first too, but then I saw something else, and my shock instantly vanished," Bixiao continued.
"What was it?" Yunxiao and Qiongxiao focused their attention.
Could there be something even more shocking than the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell?
"Pangu the Great God's Pangu Axe," Bixiao said, enunciating each word.
"Pangu Axe?" Yunxiao was bewildered. "Legend says the Great God Pangu's axe split into three, and the Chaos Bell was one of them. How could it appear again?"
"I don't know," Bixiao shrugged. "Anyway, I saw the Pangu Axe. Back then, I felt that if even a wisp of its aura were to leak out, it would be enough to suppress and kill me."
At this moment, silence returned.
Whether it was Yunxiao or Qiongxiao, they both needed time to process this information.
As Bixiao had said, this was a monumental event. The Investiture of the Gods Calamity seemed insignificant in comparison.
"Bixiao, is everything you said true?" Yunxiao asked solemnly.
"Eldest Sister, I told you, it's all true," Bixiao replied. "How could I possibly lie about something like this?"
"Then Bixiao, if we want to obtain the Investiture of the Gods Edict, do we need to pay a price?" Yunxiao asked.
"Eldest Sister is still the smartest," Bixiao chuckled. "Eldest Sister is right. That Senior runs a General Store. The Pangu Axe and the Chaos Bell are just items in the store. As long as we have enough Exchange Points, we can buy them too."
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao gasped.
This was truly a grand undertaking.
What kind of existence could that Senior be?
It was understandable that Bixiao had concluded they were more powerful than Saints.
"So, the Investiture of the Gods Edict can also be bought?" Qiongxiao asked.
"Yes, at the Senior's place, various Spiritual Treasures and Cultivation Methods can be exchanged for corresponding Exchange Points. But even if I took out everything I own, I would only have a little over a thousand, which is nowhere near enough," Bixiao said helplessly. "That's why I came back. Otherwise, I would have tried to see if it was truly possible."
Although she had great confidence in Wu Feng's strength.
The fact that the matter wasn't truly resolved still caused some worry.
"How much does the Investiture of the Gods Edict cost?" Yunxiao asked.
"Ten thousand," Bixiao replied.
"Ten thousand," Yunxiao mused. "Bixiao, you only have a little over a thousand worth of items. Even if we pooled all our belongings, we might not be able to gather ten thousand."
Even if she and Qiongxiao could each exchange for three thousand, it still wouldn't be enough.
Not to mention, whether they even had that much to begin with was another question.
After all, they didn't possess too many treasures.
If it were their Intercepting Sect's senior disciple, Daoist Duobao, perhaps it would be effortless.
Daoist Duobao's reputation wasn't earned lightly.
"Eldest Sister, what should we do?" Qiongxiao asked.
Qiongxiao also wanted to witness the Investiture of the Gods Edict.
"Wait, there's one more thing. One Investiture of the Gods Edict can only allow one person to escape the Investiture of the Gods list," Bixiao added.
"In that case, it's even more insufficient. We need to find more people," Yunxiao said gravely.
