The Investiture of the Three Sects, One by One on the List
Things are different now than they used to be.
The Investiture of the Gods is now in the hands of Saint Tongtian, the leader of the Jie Sect Leader Investiture of the Gods.
In other words, the Tongtian Jiaozhu could decide the rise and fall, fortune and misfortune, and future prospects of all the disciples of the Three Sects who were listed on the list with a single thought.
Although both are Investiture of the Gods, there is a significant difference between celestial and earthly deities.
However, the Tongtian Jiaozhu was a generous man, unlike the former Yuanshi Tianzun.
They did everything in their power to suppress the Jie Sect Disciple.
He died on the list, his life was wasted, and he gained nothing but the position of a god.
They were mostly doing manual labor and taking the blame for others' mistakes.
The Tongtian Jiaozhu instructed Shen Gongbao to arrange the duties and abilities of these disciples from the Three Sects who made the list.
Try your best to avoid showing any particular favoritism or suppression.
Of course, the prerequisite is to first arrange the positions of one's own disciples.
There's no question about that.
This principle applies to everyone.
There was no practice of compromising one's own disciples to benefit others.
That would be no different from being the Virgin Mary.
Therefore, the Grand Master Xuandu still followed his teacher, Taiqing Laozi.
He was not allowed to serve under anyone else.
Tongtian is now practically the chairman of the Investiture of the Gods) company.
He held the power of life and death over all disciples of the Three Sects.
Next, with the nod of approval from the Tongtian Jiaozhu, Shen Gongbao began to arrange the positions of the disciples of the Elucidation Sect.
Although Tongtian harbored anger and hatred towards the Yuanshi Tianzun.
However, Tongtian did not harbor any resentment towards the Chan Sect Disciple.
The arrangement of the heavenly and earthly divine positions for the immortals of the Elucidation Sect was still relatively fair.
At this moment, Shen Bao, atop the Shen Gongbao Investiture Platform, loudly proclaimed. "The Vice Leader of the Elucidation Sect, Daoist Randeng, is hereby conferred the Emperor Lord of Longevity of the South Pole, in charge of human lifespan, fortune, and misfortune, and subordinate to the Antarctic Jade Cloud Divine Palace in the Heavenly Realm, as the Vice Palace Master of the Jade Cloud Palace."
As for the true master, he is naturally the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole, one of the emperors, who is Yuanshi Tianzun.
This means that Daoist Randeng was still working as an assistant to the Yuanshi Tianzun.
He couldn't escape the fate of being the second-in-command of the Elucidation Sect.
As for his defection to the West and becoming the Ancient Buddha Randeng, that's naturally a fabrication.
How could Western Sect possibly allow a deceased god named Ran Deng to become the Past Buddha Ancient Buddha Randeng in Buddhism?
It's obvious that it's impossible.
"The Chan Sect Disciple, the Nanjixianweng, is hereby conferred the title of Star Lord of the Southern Dipper, in charge of human fortune, prosperity, and longevity."
"The Twelve Golden Immortals of Elucidation Sect, Guangchengzi, Yijingzi, Real Person Yellow Dragon, Real Person Taiyi, Juliusun, Grand Master Lingbao Celestial Worthy Manjusri, Real Person Samantabhadra, Real Person Cihang, Real Person Yuding, Celestial Worthy Daoxing, Celestial Worthy Qingxu Daode Twelve Celestial Lords of the Jade Cloud Palace to assist the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole."
"Jiang Ziya, Chan Sect Disciple, was appointed as the Star God of Misfortune, in charge of the Broom Star."
"The Chan Sect Disciple Yang Jian is hereby conferred the title of True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao Xiansheng of Guangjiangkou, a Heavenly Realm Justice God who investigates the illegal acts of the Zhou Tian immortals and gods. He is also given the title of True Lord Wei Erlang Xiansheng, the First Guardian War God of the Heavenly Realm."
Just like in his previous life, Yang Jian is still the number one war god in the Heavenly Realm, Erlang Shen Zhenjun.
However, this time, it was because Erlang Shen Yang Jian had a past relationship with the Supreme of the Sun Star.
Knowing this, the Tongtian Jiaozhu simply went with the flow and granted Erlang Shen Yang Jian's wish.
Of course, this is also because Yang Jian is exceptionally talented, and he cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art to achieve physical sainthood on his own.
His physical cultivation is comparable to that of Daluo Golden Immortal.
His genuine cultivation level is undeniable and cannot be denied.
Therefore, Yang Jian became the only person in the Elucidation Sect to Investiture of the Gods in his physical body.
Of course, Yang Jian has already announced his departure from the Elucidation Sect.
Now, all they're doing is occupy a divine position in the Elucidation Sect.
Looking at Yang Jian, a second-generation disciple of the Elucidation Sect, it's astonishing that he has such a prestigious divine position.
The Western Two Sages and others were all greatly surprised.
After Jieyin and Jieyin Zhunti the cause and effect, they could only shake their heads and sigh with envy.
"For that being, the matter of Investiture of the Gods was truly just a game."
With Taiyi's overwhelming power and strength, wouldn't it be easy for him to overturn the Investiture of the Gods?
Arranging for someone you personally favor to be listed Investiture of the Gods is utterly insignificant.
Even without Taiyi giving any prior notice, Tongtian still managed to have Yang Jian listed as Investiture of the Gods.
It has to be said, it's good to have a big tree to shelter under.
"If we had known earlier, we would have gone to join Taiyi the Supreme earlier!"
"It doesn't have to be this ugly now."
Both Zhunti and Jieyin were filled with regret and frustration.
Shen Gongbao ignored the whispers below.
The announcement continued, "The Chan Sect Disciple, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, Lei Zhenzi, Xiao Zhen, and Deng Hua, are hereby conferred titles..."
As Shen Gongbao read out the names of the Chan Sect Disciple one by one...
Thus, a True Spirit drifted out from the Investiture of the Gods.
By bowing to Shen Gongbao, one receives the authority of the gods of heaven and earth.
Next, it was the turn of the Western Sect Zi Shou deified.
The idea of the Buddha becoming a deity is somewhat absurd and laughable.
It is unknown when Yu came to the Buddhism to spread the teachings.
Each Buddha statue is also wearing a hat representing a Heavenly Court deity. How can this be explained to believers?
Is Buddha a god?
Are gods and Buddhas one?
Taiyi, far away on the Sun Star, couldn't help but chuckle as he watched this scene.
Especially after seeing the ugly Zhunti Jieyin the faces of the Western Two Sages, Zhunti and Jieyin.
This time, Taiyi surprisingly did not continue his seclusion and arduous cultivation.
Instead, they watched the spectacle.
This investiture of the Investiture of the Gods was the first and the last such event in the entire Primordial Wilderness.
Taiyi certainly didn't want to miss such a momentous occasion, one that would be recorded in history.
"He was conferred the title of Medicine Buddha, a disciple of the Western Sect, and appointed as the Heavenly Lord of the Medicine Department of the Heavenly Court, in charge of the medicinal herbs of the Heavenly Realm."
"The Western Sect disciple Maitreya Buddha is hereby conferred the title of Heavenly Court..."
"Conferring titles upon disciples of the Western Sect..."
Compared to the divine positions held by Chan Sect Disciple, the positions held by disciples of the Western Sect were truly quite unimpressive.
Not to mention the Jie Sect Disciple who occupy important positions in various departments of the Heavenly Realm.
It's truly amazing how different things are; you won't know until you compare them, and the difference is astonishing.
Zhunti and Jieyin were speechless.
Anyway, the West has long been used to being bullied.
If one day the Eastern Sage doesn't come to bully them, they'll start to doubt the meaning of life.
Seeing that the disciples of the Western Sect were all peacefully and smoothly granted godhood and divine Investiture of the Gods, he was impressed.
Only then did the two of them swallow back the anger they had been holding in.
Before they arrived, they were worried that Tongtian would deliberately make things difficult for them.
I never expected the Tongtian Jiaozhu to be so easy to talk to.
They easily appointed the Western Sect disciples to positions in the Heavenly Court.
Now, their Western Sect didn't come away empty-handed.
At the same time, Shen Gongbao continued to announce, "I hereby confer the title of Nezha, the Spirit Pearl Child under the command of the Holy Mother of the Wa Palace, the Great God Wei Santan Haihui, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Heavenly Court."
Because Nezha does not belong to the Human Race or the Elucidation Sect, this is the only way to bestow this title.
Saint Nuwa, also gained a share of the Investiture of the Gods because of this.
But that's not all.
