"Who is it?" Bixiao's eyes lit up.

"Our elder brother, the current Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi Dragon-Tiger Altar True Lord, Zhao Gongming," Yunxiao said slowly.

"So it's elder brother," Bixiao's eyes brightened. "Yes, he's apparently called the God of Wealth. He should have a lot of treasures, right?"

Zhao Gongming.

Originally the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Intercepting Sect.

His strength was also extremely formidable. He had once injured Guangchengzi, True Lord Jade Cauldron, and the other Twelve Golden Immortals by himself, and could even contend with Daoist Burning Lamp.

Unfortunately, Zhao Gongming's Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were eventually taken by Burning Lamp, and he was killed by Lu Ya's Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, becoming a member of the List of Deities.

But no matter what, Zhao Gongming's power was unimaginable.

Even within the entire Heavenly Court, there were very few deities more powerful than Zhao Gongming.

"Sisters, let's set off now."

"Okay, let's go."

Chapter Forty-Six: Dou Mu Yuan Jun, Head of Female Immortals!

Heavenly Court, Palace of the Altar True Lord.

This was Zhao Gongming's residence.

As one of the powerful figures in the Heavenly Court, many deities would not easily disturb him.

This gave Zhao Gongming a period of peaceful life.

In the past, Zhao Gongming was full of spirit. Who knew that during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, he would become one of those destined to be affected.

One could only say it was fate and destiny.

"Brother, brother..." a clear voice echoed from afar.

This brought a hint of joy to Zhao Gongming's face.

Because he was very familiar with the arrival, it was his sisters, the Three Xiaos.

After becoming a member of the List of Deities, the Three Xiaos would still come to see him, their elder brother, from time to time.

After all, within the Intercepting Sect, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos had the best relationship. The relationships with other disciples of the Intercepting Sect were secondary.

Soon, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao walked in.

The Three Xiaos did not need to report in advance to see Zhao Gongming.

If it were other deities, they would not dare to be so presumptuous.

After all, Zhao Gongming was a Quasi-Saint powerhouse.

He was a powerhouse who could once contend with Daoist Burning Lamp.

"Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, why have you come?" Zhao Gongming asked with a smile.

"What, brother, can't we come if there's nothing going on?" Qiongxiao said.

"Haha, of course not," Zhao Gongming shook his head. "But based on my understanding of you, you were just here not long ago. Logically, you shouldn't be coming back so soon. So I assume you have something to discuss with me."

"Brother is indeed smart, you're right," Yunxiao nodded. "We do have something to discuss with you, brother."

"Hmm," Zhao Gongming's eyes flickered. "Yunxiao, after we were enshrined, you never came to me for help. Now you're here, it seems like something big has happened?"

A long time had passed since the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

The Three Xiaos had never sought Zhao Gongming's help before. This time, they came to him.

If it wasn't a major event, it wouldn't be possible.

Ordinary matters, as Grand Unity Golden Immortals, the Three Xiaos could surely handle.

So they must have encountered something they couldn't resolve, or perhaps they encountered an enemy, an enemy at the Quasi-Saint level?

Zhao Gongming speculated in his heart.

"Brother, we are indeed here for something important, and this matter not only concerns us but also concerns you," Yunxiao said slowly.

"Hmm, it concerns me too," Zhao Gongming was taken aback.

This made him even more curious.

He couldn't imagine what could still be related to him at this point.

"Brother, do you want to escape the List of Deities and regain your freedom?" Yunxiao asked.

"Bang..."

Zhao Gongming's expression froze. The flagstones beneath his feet continuously cracked, which was enough to describe the excitement in Zhao Gongming's heart.

Escaping the List of Deities was a wish he had always harbored.

But as time went by, Zhao Gongming also understood that the Investiture of the Gods was a calamity that governed the operation of this world.

Even Saints found it difficult to interfere.

So Zhao Gongming could only accept it and give up.

Escaping the Investiture of the Gods was already an impossible feat.

But now, he heard these words from Yunxiao – transcending the Investiture of the Gods.

Was that even possible?

"Yunxiao, what do you mean?" Zhao Gongming asked with a grave expression.

"Brother, earlier Bixiao met a senior. At that senior's place, she discovered a treasure. It's said that this treasure can allow us to escape the Investiture of the Gods," Yunxiao explained.

"Yes, Brother, it's the Investiture of the Gods Edict," Bixiao nodded.

"Bixiao, you weren't tricked, were you?" Zhao Gongming asked.

To Zhao Gongming, this matter was truly unbelievable.

It was simply unimaginable.

"Brother, I don't want to explain anymore," Bixiao huffed.

Yunxiao and the others had doubted her before, and now Zhao Gongming was doing the same. This made Bixiao quite unhappy.

"Brother, let me explain," Yunxiao coughed dryly.

Afterward, Yunxiao explained everything about the General Store, the existence of Wu Feng, and even the Chaos Bell and Pangu Axe.

After hearing this, even Zhao Gongming, a Quasi-Saint, looked somewhat dazed.

The matter of escaping the Investiture of the Gods was actually true.

"Then, according to what you said, the Investiture of the Gods Edict only requires ten thousand Exchange Points," Zhao Gongming said in a deep voice.

"Yes, but we don't have many treasures among us, so gathering ten thousand seems a bit difficult. Brother, aren't you the God of Wealth? You should have many treasures," Yunxiao said as a matter of course.

"Cough, cough, although I am the God of Wealth, I don't have that many treasures," Zhao Gongming coughed dryly. "However, we can head to the General Store Bixiao mentioned now. If we're still short then, we can find our senior sister from the Intercepting Sect."

"Holy Mother Jin Ling," Qiongxiao's eyes lit up.

Holy Mother Jin Ling was one of Master of the Heavens' direct disciples.

She had once single-handedly contended against Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang with ease. However, she was later ambushed by Daoist Burning Lamp using the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and died on the spot.

But even so, it did not diminish Holy Mother Jin Ling's power.

Because of this, Holy Mother Jin Ling was also enshrined on the List of Deities as the Head of Female Immortals, Head of All Stars, and Dou Mu Yuan Jun.

She was truly one of the great figures in the Heavenly Court.

Perhaps only second to figures like the Central Great Emperor Haotian and the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole among the Six Imperial Lords.

"That's right, Holy Mother Jin Ling, one of the Master's direct disciples. However, we haven't confirmed this matter yet, so it's best not to approach her just yet. We need to confirm it first," Zhao Gongming said solemnly. "Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, pack your things. We're preparing to head to Flower-Fruit Mountain."

"Yes, Brother," the Three Xiaos nodded.

Whether the Investiture of the Gods Edict was real or not would soon be known.

Heavenly Court, Tian Peng's Residence.

"Even after collecting all the treasures in my residence, there's still so little," Marshal Tian Peng scratched his head. "Or should I, like Sun Wukong, mug the gods?"

Thinking of this, Marshal Tian Peng's eyes lit up.

This was a risk-free, highly profitable endeavor.

Sun Wukong's actions would be even easier and more convenient for him.

The other gods probably wouldn't guard against him.

"No, still not right," Marshal Tian Peng shook his head.

If Tian Peng did this, it would be tantamount to rebelling against the Heavenly Court. He didn't have such intentions yet.

For Tian Peng now, blending into the Heavenly Court was like having a strong backing.

"Perhaps I can only offer the Nine-Tooth Rake," Tian Peng took out the weapon in his hand.
