The Sages Gather at Zixiao Palace; the Dao Ancestor Explains the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation (Part 2)

Dao Ancestor Hongjun will say no more, and will pass Investiture of the Gods Scroll, which carries countless Karmic Cause and Effect, to the leader Sage Taiqing.

Sage Taiqing steadily took over the heavy list, feeling the Will of Heavenly Dao and heavy karma contained in it.

"Teacher, Mysterious Gate Three Teachings, how many people should be on the list? How to sign the pledge? Is there a fixed number rule?"

The figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun becomes more and more illusory, seeming to be completely integrated with Heavenly Dao Origin.

"How many places will be on the list and who will be on the list, you Sanqing will decide on your own.

The law of heaven is impartial, and you must uphold justice and uprightness."

After the words fell, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's figure disappeared completely, leaving only the aftertaste of the vast power of heaven echoing in the empty Purple Sky Palace.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's will dissipated, and instead of relaxing, the atmosphere inside the Purple Sky Palace instantly became more solemn and depressing.

Invisible pressure is like a physical mountain pressing on the heart of every saint.

Sanqing stood apart, his eyes like lightning, firmly locked on the roll of Investiture of the Gods Scroll in Sage Taiqing's hand that seemed to be able to swallow everything.

Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti stood quietly aside with different thoughts.

Nuwa was worried, Two Sages of the West's eyes flickered, and they were all holding their breath, paying attention to the internal debate of Mysterious Gate Three Teachings.

Sage Taiqing's face was calm, leaving Investiture of the Gods Scroll in the void.

The mysterious light on the list circulates faintly, and the three hundred and sixty-five blank Divine Position shadows are like the three hundred and sixty-five giant mouths that choose people to eat.

"Teacher has a purpose. I, Sanqing, will decide on the names and number of people on the list. What do you two junior brothers think?"

Sage Taiqing's voice was calm and he asked the questions to Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Sect Master Tongtian.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate did his part and spoke first, with the usual aloof and unquestionable tone of Sage Yuqing.

"Elder brother, under my disciple Chan Sect, Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, True Person Yuding, True Person Taiyi, True Person Huanglong, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Cihang, Daoxing, Lingbao, Juliusun, True Lord Qingxu Daode, this Twelve Golden Immortals, Virtuous True Immortal Yunzhongzi and Immortal Elder Nanji are all people with high moral standards, noble roots and profound blessings.

They are devoted to the Tao and are not stained by the worldly world Karmic Cause and Effect. They live in their respective fairy mountain caves all year round, quietly chanting in Huangting, and comprehending Yuqing Mystical Art. Such talents and beautiful jade should not be included in the calamity list!"

After a pause, Primordial Heavenly Venerate turned to Sect Master Tongtian with sharp eyes, showing a hint of imperceptible superiority.

"On the other hand, Junior Brother Tongtian's sect, although it is called 'Myriad Immortals Come to Court', is actually a mixed bag of good and bad. Most of them are wet-born eggs, hairy and horned people, with shallow roots, no morals, and wanton behavior. They have made countless red dust Karmic Cause and Effect and ruined Mysterious Gate's good reputation.

In my opinion, this killing and calamity is just the way of heaven taking the opportunity to help Interception Sect clean up the family. Only by Remove the Dross and Select the Essence can Mystic Gate Dao Tradition be kept clean and free from worries!

The positions of the three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods on this Investiture of the Gods Scroll should be filled by Jie Sect Disciples. In order to complete this calamity, it is also the justice of heaven!"

Primordial Heavenly Venerate belittled the entire Interception Sect like a den of filth and evil, intending to completely dump the huge burden of the entire Investiture of the Gods Tribulation on the Interception Sect, leaving Jie Sect Disciples to fill the three hundred and sixty-five Divine Position!

Sect Master Tongtian was already depressed because of what Dao Ancestor Hongjun said, "Mysterious Gate Three Teachings should be robbed." Now he heard Primordial Heavenly Venerate so nakedly target and belittle Interception Sect.

He even wanted all of his disciples to become gods. Driven by Heavenly Court, his path was cut off, and he suddenly became furious!

"Yuanshi! Er'an dares to speak so freely!"

Sect Master Tongtian Beard and hair are spread out, the black robe is hunting, and the illusory but terrifying sword shadows around him suddenly appear, with the four sword intentions of killing, killing, trapping, and cutting through the void!

The anger in his eyes was burning like substance. Sect Master Tongtian looked directly at Primordial Heavenly Venerate, his voice was sonorous and harsh, filled with extreme anger.

"Cleaning up the house? Remove the Dross and Select the Essence? What a high-sounding one! Even though I, Jie Sect Disciples, have thousands of people, am I not the only 'filth' in your eyes that should be put on the list?"

"Let me ask you!" Sect Master Tongtian suddenly took a step forward, and his voice echoed throughout the Purple Sky Palace.

"My sect Qingxuanzi! Open up Rune Immortal Dao, spread Primordial World, and benefit hundreds of millions of living beings in their enlightenment and practice. This is the immeasurable merit of educating Primordial World!

He developed Star Immortal Dao, reshaped Circumference Heavenly Star Sea, regulated the movement of stars, and sorted out Primordial World's inspiration. This is the immeasurable merit of sorting out the order of heaven and earth!

He controls Hungry Ghost Path reincarnation, resolves the hostility of heaven and earth Wailing Souls, and accumulates immeasurable Yin virtue. This is the immeasurable merit of safeguarding Six Paths of Reincarnation!

He is in the Ziwei Zhongtian Great Emperor, assists Primordial World in latitude and longitude, and suppresses Heavenly Court's Fortune. This is the immeasurable merit of supporting Heavenly Court and stabilizing Three Realms!

Primordial World Who among all the saints can achieve such illustrious achievements?

Qingxuanzi has attained the 'Dao Achiever' Daoist realm, with a deep foundation, and Daoxing is the first person among saints to understand the mysteries!

Could it be that you, Sage Yuqing, think that He should also go to your Investiture of the Gods Scroll to fill one of the three hundred and sixty-five Divine Position, and be driven by that Heavenly Court to cut off the road?"

Every time Sect Master Tongtian said something, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face became uglier.

Mentioning Lu Yuan is enough to shake the great merits of Heaven, especially the honorable title of "Dao Achiever".

It's like an invisible slap in the face, hitting Yuanshi's absurd conclusion just now that "Interception Sect should all be on the list."

Qingxuanzi, this name echoes in the Purple Sky Palace, its weight is so heavy that even the saints cannot ignore it.

Sect Master Tongtian did not stop, the momentum was like a rainbow, the sound was like thunder, and he continued to point out generals.

"My four direct disciples, Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Jin Ling, Saint Mother Wudang, Saint Mother Guiling!

They opened up the star sea with Qingxuanzi, sorted out Primordial World, and assisted Ziwei. They had already killed three corpses and obtained Quasi-Sage's Tao Fruit!

It can be said that the roots are deep, Daoxing profound, the blessings are long-lasting, and the merits are added to the body! Do they also want to be on the list?"

"Bixiao, Qiongxiao, Zhao Gongming, Wuyunxian, Golden Hoop Immortal, Piluxian, Immortal Qiushou, Immortal Lingya, Jinguang Immortal...

They made great contributions in the development of the Circumference Heavenly Star Sea? Spread the word about Star Immortal Dao, regulate Primordial World Spirit Vein, add immeasurable energy to the immortal way, and get Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao Merit body protection!

Could it be that in your eyes Primordial Heavenly Venerate, these disciples who have made great contributions to Mysterious Gate and have great merits and virtues should also be on the list to fill in Investiture of the Gods Scroll, be bound by the Heavenly Court laws, and live forever on the road without making any progress?"

Sect Master Tongtian's barrage of questions was loud and clear.

He listed the achievements, foundations, realms, and merits of the Interception Sect's direct disciples and even some inner sect elites one by one, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain!

Every name and every achievement is like a red-hot steel needle, piercing Primordial Heavenly Venerate's heart.

His so-called "Interception Sect should all be on the list" argument seems so pale and ridiculous in front of Lu Yuan, Dao Achiever, Duobao and other meritorious Quasi-Sage, Zhao Gongming and other Daluo Golden Immortal!

Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face turned from white to red, and then from red to green. Even though he had practiced Daoism for hundreds of millions of years, he felt unprecedented embarrassment at this moment.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate does have extremely complex emotions towards Lu Yuan.

He values and appreciates his talents and talents, and Lu Yuan often sends Innate Life Spirit Fruit to the Yuxu Palace. His status in Primordial Heavenly Venerate's heart is comparable to that of Guangchengzi.

When Three Teachings split up, he once told him to "regulate Interception Sect's style", but now it has become the biggest stumbling block to his plan.

Lu Yuan has indeed achieved the standard Interception Sect style. Not only has it been done, but it has also been done extremely well!

So good that the power of the Interception Sect becomes so dazzling and so difficult to shake!

"Junior Brother Tongtian, calm down the wrath of the thunder." Sage Taiqing spoke at the right time, his ancient and unwavering voice carrying a power to calm the restlessness of the world.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda phantom above his head rotated slightly, and thousands of Profound Yellow Qi hung down, invisibly eliminating the stirring holy power of the two junior brothers.

His eyes swept over Investiture of the Gods Scroll's densely packed, abyss-like blank spaces Divine Position, Sage Taiqing's voice was undeniably heavy.

"Yuanshi Junior Brother's words may be biased.

Among Jie Sect Disciples, there are many such as Qingxuanzi, Duobao, etc. They have deep foundations and merits, so they really should not be on the list.

However, the Heavenly Dao Tribulation has been decided, and Investiture of the Gods Scroll needs to be signed and pledged. The positions of the three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods of the Zhou Dynasty are necessary for the operation of the Heavenly Dao and must be filled.

This is not a private matter of one family or one group. It is related to Primordial World's future fortune and the delay of Immeasurable Tribulation's big plan. It is not a trivial matter.

To make a hasty conclusion and force one party to bear all the consequences may not be fair, it will also damage the foundation of our Sanqing brotherhood and Mysterious Gate destiny, and it will be detrimental to the overall situation."

Looking at Yuanshi, whose face was still ashen, and Tongtian, whose anger had not subsided, Sage Taiqing continued, "Why don't we follow the old practice and practice the 'Three Businesses' method.

Let's put aside the discussion for today. We will each return to the palace to carefully consider the cause and effect of the calamity, weigh the blessings, roots, merits and virtues of our disciples, and deduce the changes in the heavenly plan.

Thirty thousand years later, we will gather in Zixiao again to sign this list.

At that time, there should be a more comprehensive discussion on the rights and wrongs of the list. How about that?"

Although Primordial Heavenly Venerate is unwilling to do anything, he wishes he could immediately crucify Interception Sect to Investiture of the Gods Scroll.

But Sect Master Tongtian is in full swing, and has the "golden brand" of Lu Yuan and the elites of the Interception Sect as irrefutable arguments.

Considering that force will only be counterproductive, it may even trigger a direct conflict between Sanqing, with disastrous consequences.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil of depression and murderous intent in his heart, Primordial Heavenly Venerate reluctantly nodded, his voice a little dry.

"What Senior Brother said... is true. I will follow the advice of the three merchants."

Sect Master Tongtian snorted coldly. Although he was still extremely dissatisfied with Yuanshi's attitude, he also knew that Sage Taiqing's proposal was the most rational choice.

Forcibly drawing a mark will only cause conflicts to completely break out here and now, with unpredictable consequences.

He needs time to think about countermeasures and needs to go back to discuss with Qingxuanzi, Duobao and other disciples to prepare for the upcoming catastrophe.

Nodding slightly, Sect Master Tongtian said, "Yes."

Sanqing reached a preliminary consensus and jointly bowed and reported to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

After the ceremony, three magnificent rays of clear light soared into the sky, tearing apart the chaos and instantly disappearing into the Purple Sky Palace.

Sanqing left, leaving only Empress Nuwa and Two Sages of the West in the Purple Sky Palace.

The empty hall seemed even more lonely, but the heavy Daoist rhyme did not diminish at all.

Empress Nuwa looked at the direction where Investiture of the Gods Scroll disappeared, his eyebrows furrowed, and his worry almost solidified.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words "Those belonging to loose immortals, Yao Mo, ghosts and gods, Side Door Heterodox Path... ten deaths and no life" lingered in her heart like the most vicious curse.

The ancient monsters she protected were ferocious and ferocious.

Demon Race's family of relics, old and young, are mostly remnants of ancient times, with violent temperaments and poor moral conduct.

If they were involved in this heinous massacre, the consequences would be disastrous!

She seemed to see Great Desolation World about to become a mountain of corpses Blood Sea, Demon Race Fortune being dispersed by the calamity energy, and Wa Huang Palace's luck would also be damaged by this turmoil.

The palm Red Embroidered Ball turned uneasily, and what it exuded was no longer a peaceful and auspicious energy, but a trace of ominous blood-colored light.

She must return to the Wa Huang Palace immediately, strictly restrain the demons, order them to close the cave tightly, restrain their viciousness, and look for a chance to avoid disaster.

The faces of Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti almost looked like water dripping from their faces.

The initial joy has long been extinguished by the cold reality.

"Senior brother!" Daoist Zhunti's voice was bitter, and the brilliance of Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand was dim.

"Although this calamity has nothing to do with my Western Lands subject, all the scattered Immortals and Yao demons can fall into the calamity, and those with insufficient virtue will die without rebirth.

We wish to travel eastward to spread the wonderful Dharma, and we have a destiny to transform it.

But if the 'destined person' you fancy has deep roots but bad morals, and is involved in murder, robbery, and death, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? What's worse..."

Daoist Zhunti's voice has a hint of fear!

"If the core disciples that I, Western Teachings, have worked hard to cultivate, such as Maitreya, Medicine Master, or even you and me, are accidentally contaminated by the all-pervasive calamity..."

He did not dare to say any more, that would be damage to the foundation that Western Teachings could not bear!

Western Lands is already barren, with few elites. Every loss of one person, such as Maitreya and Medicine Master, which are expected to be Quasi-Sage and bear the future of Western Lands, shakes the foundation!

Daoist Jieyin proclaimed an extremely heavy Buddha's name, and his face became even more withered and yellow. "Amitabha Buddha! Tribulation Fortune is vast, murderous intent is everywhere, and the secret of heaven is chaotic and unpredictable.

Junior brother, great opportunities are often accompanied by great dangers. If I, Western Teachings, want to be prosperous, sometimes I have to take dangerous measures and take advantage of the situation. Of course, the top priority is,"

A light flashed in his eyes, and the pain on Daoist Jieyin's face showed determination.

"I need to return to Mount Sumeru immediately and use my Saint's Great Law power to deduce the secrets of heaven. I must look for the 'true seed' that is truly destined to me Western Lands, possesses merit and virtue, and can protect myself from this murderous calamity!

Furthermore, we must strictly restrain all our disciples, be careful in their words and deeds, recite sutras and worship Buddha, close the mountain gate tightly, stay away from the whirlpool of killing and calamity in the east, watch the changes quietly, and wait for the time to take action!"

After a pause, Daoist Jieyin spoke in a low voice, but with a hint of ambition.

"The person who should be robbed of the 'Flying Bear' has a destiny and is in charge of the power of Investiture of the Gods...

If Western Lands can be extradited, he can enter our Samana..."

What is left unfinished is that the ambition is clearly revealed.

Defei Xiong, palming Investiture of the Gods Scroll, Western Teachings may be able to lead this disaster and seize the maximum benefit!

Nuwa heard this, and his heart moved slightly.

In order to find a new life for Demon Race, we may need to borrow some help, or even...

She looked at Two Sages of the West with a hint of meaning.

The three saints looked at each other silently, and they all saw the solemnity, worry and their own hidden calculations in each other's eyes.

Without further ado, Nuwa rode on the phoenix and turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Jieyin and Zhunti stepped on Golden Lotus together. The Buddha's light flashed and escaped into chaos.

The magnificent Purple Sky Palace fell into complete silence, and only the eternal Chaos Flow flowed silently and was annihilated outside the palace.

However, a boundless calamity destined to sweep through Great Desolation World, poison the immortal gods Yao Mo, and affect all spirits and races has quietly surged and spread amid the saints' verbal and silent games.

The three hundred and sixty-five empty Divine Positions on Investiture of the Gods Scroll are like the three hundred and sixty-five cold and ruthless Eye of Heavenly Daos, silently staring at the Primordial World land below that is about to undergo drastic changes.

Thirty thousand years later, Purple Sky Palace will discuss it again, which will surely trigger an even more intense holy war!

Above the nine heavens, Northern Pole Ziwei Imperial Palace, Starlight Power is in the center of the most intense Daoist platform.

Lu Yuan is wearing Profound Yellow Daoist Robe, Profound Yellow Dao Fruit is floating in Auspicious Clouds above his head, among which the incarnations of Nine Dao Fruits flash past one by one.

Having attained the Half-Saint Dao Achiever realm, he has already cut off all his merits and luck.

The Profound Yellow Merit and heavenly luck saved before were all refined by Lu Yuan with the power of "Dao Achiever" and condensed into strands of Primordial Violet Qi.

A hint of purple flashed in his eyes, Qingxuan Daoist Master Lu Yuan, slowly opened his eyes.

The stars in his eyes were swirling, Karmic Cause and Effect intertwined, and the Tribulation energy rising from Great Desolation World was clearly reflected in his pupils.
