Jiang Ziya Cannot Defy Heaven's Mandate and Descends the Mountain; King Wen Fishes by the Wei River and Seeks a Worthy
The threat of Exquisite Pagoda, the flash of Desire for Control in Li Jing's eyes when holding the golden tower, are all clearly imprinted on Nezha's heart.
"Li Jing..." Nezha whispered, there was no tenderness of a child in his voice, only the violence that was forcibly suppressed.
"Exquisite Pagoda? Protect me completely? Ha... old man, Randeng old thief... you all regard me as a tool, as a chess piece, as Calamity Ash!"
He tightened his grip on Fire-Tipped Spear, the gun buzzed, and Nezha forced the roiling hatred into his heart.
Randeng is right, Karmic Cause and Effect is right, he really cannot afford it at the moment, and Exquisite Pagoda's threat is not false.
But he remembered this debt.
When Investiture of the Gods's murderous calamity is over, when he breaks free from all restraints...
The Karmic Cause and Effect of Chentang Pass must pay with the blood of Li Jing!
At the top of Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace is shrouded in the eternal Yuqing Immortal Light, solemn and solemn, isolated from the world.
Jiang Ziya, now bowing his head, stands in the center of the vast and spacious hall.
His figure is slightly stooped, and the aura around him is barely stable in the realm of True Immortal. In this saint's dojo, he is as small as dust.
Cloud Bed hangs high in front, and Primordial Heavenly Venerate's figure is shrouded in chaotic clear light, like the incarnation of heaven, with eyes lowered, showing no sadness or joy.
"Disciple Jiang Shang, bow down to the Master." Jiang Ziya's voice had an imperceptible tremor, and he bowed deeply.
Every time he met the saint, his soul trembled with the pressure that was like the power of heaven.
"Ziya." Primordial Heavenly Venerate's voice sounded like a sound from nine heavens away. It was calm and waveless, but the words weighed more than a thousand words, knocking on the heart of Jiang Ziya.
"You entered Yuxu Palace, and it has been Spring and Autumn Annals for three thousand years."
Jiang Ziya's heart tightened, and the bitterness spread instantly.
Three thousand years!
In the Yuxu Palace, Innate Spiritual Root is free to enjoy the immortal fruit, browse through the immortal Daoist collection, and even Heavenly Dao Saint personally preaches and performs...
This is Primordial World the overwhelming blessing that countless creatures dream of!
Such immortal resources are enough for the noble Innate Living Being to realize Dao Lord and win Daluo Dao Fruit!
However, I have just stepped onto the threshold of immortality.
"Disciple... ashamed!"
Jiang Ziya raised his head, his furrowed face was full of bitterness and self-mockery, his cloudy eyes showed both the desire for the great road and a lingering sense of powerlessness.
"The disciple's qualifications are dull, and the chaotic and stubborn stone is nothing more than that.
Master has never given up, and has given me the supreme opportunity, the accumulation of spiritual objects and Daoist treasures, and the empowerment of holy sounds...
However, the disciple is unable to carve rotten wood, he has wasted his precious mountain, and his years have been wasted. Until now... he is still at the True Immortal level. He is unworthy of his teacher and has no shame to face his fellow disciples!"
Thinking of Twelve Golden Immortals's occasional looks of pity or contempt, Jiang Ziya's heart felt like needles pricking her heart.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate's eyes remained indifferent, as if Jiang Ziya's self-blame and depression were nothing but illusion.
"A path to cultivating the Tao requires foundation, understanding, and conditions, all of which are indispensable.
Your bones are indeed not the best."
The words of Primordial Heavenly Venerate is straightforward and cruel, unabashedly exposing Jiang Ziya's biggest pain point.
Jiang Ziya's body shook slightly, his head hung lower, and his nails almost dug into his palms.
But the spark of seeking truth in my heart has gone through three thousand years of wind and frost, and although it is weak, it has not been extinguished.
Kowtowing suddenly again, Jiang Ziya's forehead touched the ground, his voice was almost tragic and full of obsession. "Disciple knows he is dull! But... but Heart of Seeking the Dao is not lost!
The disciple is stupid and stubborn, just looking for... just a glimmer of opportunity!
Even if my body is shattered and my bones are shattered, my spirit and soul are extinguished, I still want to get a glimpse of the true face of the great road and achieve eternal life and freedom! I sincerely ask Master... to show me the way again!"
Above Cloud Bed, in the depths of Primordial Heavenly Venerate's unrippled eyes, hundreds of millions of World Creation and Destruction traces seemed to flash by.
Shaking his head slightly, the saint could not hear the slightest emotion in his voice, only a kind of Perceive Heavenly Secrets indifference.
"Eternal life and freedom? The true appearance of the great road? Ziya, your opportunity is not in meditating in the mountains, or in the Sophora Sophora mystica."
Jiang Ziya raised his head in shock, his cloudy eyes filled with confusion and a faint hope.
"You are charged with the 'Destiny'. This is the destiny of Heaven. It cannot be forced by human power, nor can it be understood behind closed doors."
"If you want to realize the Great Way, you must first complete the 'Investiture of the Gods' destiny."
"Investiture of the Gods destiny?" Jiang Ziya murmured, a strong uneasy premonition welling up in his heart.
"Now the destiny has been revealed!" Primordial Heavenly Venerate's gaze seemed to penetrate Yuxu Palace's head, looking at the roiling human world.
"Business is coming to an end, and Zhou Dynasty is about to emerge. This is the destiny of Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, and it is also where your 'destiny' lies."
Jiang Ziya's heart suddenly sank.
Investiture of the Gods Tribulation! Purple Sky Palace Dao Ancestor The killing and calamity of heaven and earth under the decree!
Although his cultivation level is not high, how could he not know the danger of this calamity in the Yuxu Palace?
Tens of thousands of immortals have fallen, orthodoxy is in conflict, blood is flowing... and he is actually in the center of this whirlpool?
Glancing at Jiang Ziya, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's voice left no room for doubt. "When you go down the mountain, assist Xi Qi Wise Ruler, Zhou Hou Ji Chang.
Help him inherit the destiny, defeat the unjust, and determine the world Heaven and Earth, and complete this Investiture of the Gods killing disaster!
When the calamity is completed and the destiny is fulfilled, you can take this merit and virtue with you, return to Kunlun, and resume your path.
At that time, with Heavenly Dao Merit joining in, we might be able to glimpse a glimmer of the door to transcendence."
Down the mountain? Campaign Against Shang? Host Investiture of the Gods?
Jiang Ziya felt a chill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Where is the clear path here?
This is obviously throwing this little bit of True Immortal into Primordial World's most brutal meat grinder!
Jiang Ziya seemed to see a mountain of corpses Blood Sea, and saw the terrifying whirlpool of the game of saints...
However, the words of the sage are the decree of the law.
Disobedience? Jiang Ziya can't even think about it.
The obsession with seeking the truth in my heart is pitifully insignificant in the face of "destiny".
The bitterness, confusion, fear, and finally turned into a sadness of resignation.
Jiang Ziya can't escape the mercy of this "destiny" after all.
"Disciple... I will obey Master's decree." Jiang Ziya's voice was dry and hoarse, and he bowed deeply again.
"Good." Primordial Heavenly Venerate nodded slightly, as if he had just dealt with a trivial matter.
The wide-sleeved robe automatically moved without wind, and immeasurable clear light poured out.
The two artifacts slowly emerged in the clear light, exuding the supreme majesty that suppressed the heavens and commanded the divine way.
A list, neither gold nor jade, like silk or leather, lingering in the air of chaos, with countless mysterious Shinto talismans looming, but the blank surface of the list seems to be able to carry mountains, rivers, heaven and earth.
It is Investiture of the Gods Scroll!
A whip, three feet, six inches long and five minutes long, with twenty-one sections and four talismans in each section, a total of eighty-four talismans, which coincides with the evil spirit of Zhou Tian.
The body of the whip is wrapped with the aura of calamity that makes Great Luo Dao Lord's heart palpitate. It is God-Beating Whip!
"This is a gift from Dao Ancestor, an important weapon from Investiture of the Gods." Primordial Heavenly Venerate's voice sounded, with a kind of majesty on behalf of heaven.
"Investiture of the Gods Scroll, carrying heaven and earth Divine Position, conferred the title of righteous god to all heavens.
God-Beating Whip, whip the immortal gods, knock down the mortal world, and establish their position of Investiture of the Gods.
The two treasures are given to you. If you reach Xi Qi, you can build Investiture Platform, and on behalf of heaven Investiture of the Gods, you can preside over this immeasurable killing and calamity!"
Qingguang held Investiture of the Gods Scroll and God-Beating Whip, and slowly fell to Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya stretched out his thin and trembling hands, as if he were taking over two sacred mountains.
The moment the fingertips touched Investiture of the Gods Scroll, a cold, heavy, and endless terrifying aura rushed into the soul!
Jiang Ziya's face instantly turned as white as paper, and his soul seemed to be frozen to pieces!
When God-Beating Whip started, there was a violent and ferocious whipping idea, and it almost flew away!
"Pfft!" Jiang Ziya's throat felt sweet, and he forced the surge of blood pressure away, leaving a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Holding tightly to the two treasures, Jiang Ziya's body was shaking like chaff.
Just by contact, this treasure that carries the destiny almost crushed his True Immortal body!
Primordial Heavenly Venerate looked at Jiang Ziya's embarrassment indifferently, without any intention of helping.
This is also a test. If you can't even control the artifact, how can you talk about Daitian Investiture of the Gods?
"Go down the mountain. West Qiqi Mountain has your own enlightened master. By fulfilling your destiny of becoming a god, you may have the chance to achieve great things."
Jiang Ziya endured the soul-splitting pain, kowtowed deeply, and said in a hoarse voice, "Disciple... accept the decree!"
He stood up with difficulty, Jiang Ziya hunched over, stepped one step at a time, and staggered out of the Yuxu hall.
Northern Pole Ziwei Imperial Palace, Zhou Tian Xing Dou Diagram rotate slowly, hundreds of millions of stars flicker and fade, casting a cold radiance.
When Jiang Ziya, carrying Investiture of the Gods Scroll and God-Beating Whip, walked out of Kunlun Mountain, the evil energy between Great Desolation World instantly surged several times.
Lu Yuan stands at the core of the star chart with his hands behind his back, and the faint light of Birth and Death of the Universe flows on Profound Yellow Daoist Robe.
His eyes penetrated Endless Void, and he could clearly "see" the back of Jiang Ziya walking down Kunlun Mountain.
"Investiture of the Gods Scroll moves out, God-Beating Whip moves...Martial Uncle Yuanshi, I can't wait to make this Tribulation move."
Lu Yuan's voice was calm, but with a hint of solemnity.
Jiang Ziya went down the mountain with the Investiture of the Gods heavy weight, which meant that the Tribulation program accelerated, and Yuxu Palace officially kicked off the prelude to crushing Interception Sect with his "destiny".
The star map circulates and the screen switches to Zhaoge.
Human Emperor Di Xin Under the protection of Profound Yellow Pendant, although they worked hard to cure it, the black cloud of calamity lingering outside the radiance of the Emperor Star has not dissipated.
On the contrary, due to the short-term rebound of Yin Shang Kingdom, it appears more restless, like a forcibly compressed spring, accumulating more terrifying counterattack power.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan frowned slightly. "Tribulation Fortune It's like the tide, it's better to block it than to block it. Di Xin... How long can you hold on?"
Looking again, East Sea Golden Ao Island direction, Immortal Slaying Sword Qi soared into the sky, sharp and sharp, confronting Yuqing Immortal Light of Kunlun Mountain in the air, Killing Intent stirred up East Sea's sky changes drastically.
The flow of Profound Yellow Qi in Lu Yuan's eyes accelerated. "Master's sword intention has been condensed, just waiting for the duel with the Yuxu Palace...
Shen Gongbao, the son of Tribulation, needs to be put into effect as soon as possible."
Finally, the scene of Qianyuan Mountain Golden Light Cave is reflected in the corner of the star map.
Nezha is sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, seemingly meditating, but the forcibly suppressed resentment and hatred in the Lotus Root Immortal's body is like a dormant poisonous dragon, showing an ominous dark red color in the star chart.
Lu Yuan's eyes moved slightly. "The anger is deeply rooted, a weapon for killing and calamity...Taiyi actually made a good knife.
This child is still connected to Li Jing Karmic Cause and Effect. If something changes in the future, it can be passed on to Li Jing."
Various scenes circulate in the star map, the tribulations are connected, and Karmic Cause and Effect is entangled, like a huge Heavenly Dao's Net.
After leaving Kunlun Immortal Realm, the turbid atmosphere of the world of mortals and the aura of deep calamity hit our faces, making Jiang Ziya very uncomfortable.
In the hands of Investiture of the Gods Scroll and God-Beating Whip, these two treasures are still extremely heavy in the Mortal Realm.
In a faint echo of the aura of calamity that pervades the heaven and earth, Jiang Ziya's soul is always under invisible pressure.
Following the guidance in the dark, Jiang Ziya traveled through mountains and rivers and came to the feet of Xi Qi Earthly Realm, Mount Qi and the shore of the Wei River.
This place really has Wise Ruler weather.
Although it is located in the western border, the fields are well maintained and the roads are crisscrossed. Although the people are not rich, they rarely look hungry, and there is a rare sense of peace between their brows.
This is completely different from Zhaoge's bustling atmosphere of depression and misfortune.
Jiang Ziya felt a little comfort in his tired mind. Perhaps, this is really the place where "destiny" belongs?
I found a secluded river bend by the Wei River, with drooping willow branches and gurgling water.
Jiang Ziya took out a simple bamboo pole and tied it with silk thread, but did not hang bait, only a straight hook was hung at the end.
Throwing the fishhook far into the clear river water, Jiang Ziya sits on a piece of bluestone like a clay sculpture, holding two treasures in his arms, fishing with his eyes closed.
What He is fishing for is not the fish, but the "Destiny", the "Wise Ruler".
The wind and sun blow, and the frost and dew soak your clothes.
Jiang Ziya is like a rooted stone by the river, unmoving despite the wind and rain.
The straight hook swayed slightly under the water, reflecting the flowing clouds and his white hair.
Occasionally, woodcutters and fishermen passed by and saw the old man's weird behavior. They either snickered or shook their heads, thinking that he was a crazy idiot.
Jiang Ziya doesn't care, his heart has already fallen on future Wise Ruler.
"Destiny... if destiny is really in Zhou, if it is really in me... after this calamity, maybe we can... get a glimpse of the great road?"
Investiture of the Gods Scroll tightened her arms, and Jiang Ziya felt a flash of comfort in her heart.
This day, the wind was calm and sunny.
On the official road in the distance, flags were fluttering and the ceremony was majestic.
Marquis of the West Ji Chang, led by his civil and military confidants, was about to go hunting in the countryside to observe the sentiments of the people.
Walking to the Wei River River, I saw from a distance the old figure fishing under the willow shade and the strange straight hook.
Ji Chang reined in the horse and his eyes were like lightning, falling on Jiang Ziya.
Although the old man was simply dressed, with a haggard appearance, and holding two strange artifacts in his arms, he was sitting upright on the bluestone, and he had a demeanor that was vaguely consistent with the world of Surrounding Area!
The straight hook fishing coincides with the mystery of "those who wish to take the bait".
Ji Chang is proficient in Fuxi Bagua, and his deduction skills are second to none Xi Qi. At this moment, the spiritual platform was throbbing with clarity, as if a thunder broke through the fog!
When deducing the secrets of heaven for a long time, I felt that the obscure divine will about the future of Xi Qi suddenly became extremely clear!
"Stop!" Ji Chang raised his hand, his majestic voice carrying a hint of unnoticeable excitement.
Rejecting most of the entourage, Ji Chang took only the most trusted San Yi Sheng and a few others, tidying up their clothes and walking softly.
As if they were afraid of disturbing their destiny, a group of people slowly walked towards the river bend.
With each step, the throbbing in Ji Chang's heart becomes stronger!
The person in front of me is the key to helping Xi Qi inherit the destiny and revolutionize Heaven and Earth as indicated by the hexagram!
Wei River murmurs and willow branches flicker.
Ji Chang walked closer and looked at the old man who still had his eyes closed, as if he had merged with the bluestone. He took a deep breath and bowed deeply. His voice was loud and sincere, breaking the silence by the river.
"The wise men lived in seclusion in the mountains and rivers, fishing with straight hooks, but what was their ambition to fish?
Xibo Ji Chang, I have admired the virtuous name for a long time, and I am so lucky to see my beautiful face today!
Dare I ask the sage Gao's name? Are you willing to go out and assist Ji Chang, support Zhou Dynasty together, obey the destiny of heaven, and save the people from water and fire?
The sound is like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.
Jiang Ziya slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes fell calmly on Ji Chang. The master of Xi Qi had a kind face, graceful bearing, and a faint purple energy rising between his brows.
There is a majestic scene of a hidden dragon lurking behind, waiting for an opportunity to rise!
This is exactly what teacher Primordial Heavenly Venerate said "Mandated by Heaven" looks like!
What shocked Jiang Ziya even more was the unique aura of destiny lingering around Ji Chang!
The fate of "Flying Bear" that I bear has a strong resonance with me!
"Flying Bear Meets the Lord!"
Jiang Ziya's heart was filled with panic, and the words of Primordial Heavenly Venerate sounded clearly again.
The benevolent king in front of him is the "Wise Ruler" to which his Jiang Shang destiny is tied!
He put down the fishing rod with a lightness of relief, and Jiang Ziya met Ji Chang's eager eyes with clear eyes.
"Yamano Kuchio, Jiang Shang, word Ziya."
After a slight pause, Jiang Ziya glanced at the tumbling destiny behind Ji Chang, and said loudly:
"Zhou Hou's benevolence spread all over the world, Blessing the Common People, it is the destiny of heaven!
Ziya... I am willing to work hard and do my best to help Zhou Dynasty, Obey Heaven, Respond to People relieve the people!"
After the words fell, the wind seemed to freeze for a moment by the Wei River river.
That straight hook without bait finally caught 'Wise Ruler'!
When Ji Chang heard this, his eyes burst out with unprecedented brilliance. It was the ecstasy of finding a good leader for governing the country and getting a glimpse of destiny!
Taking a step forward, he held the arms of Jiang Ziya who was about to salute with both hands. Ji Chang said excitedly, "God has given Imperial Father Shang to Zhou! Ji Chang and Xi Qi all people are so lucky!"
Xi Qi, Mount Qi ancestral temple.
The solemn sound of bells and chimes resounded throughout Yunxiao, and the swirling smoke shrouded the ancient temple in a sacred atmosphere.
Ji Chang was dressed in imperial robes, with an extremely solemn expression, leading Jiang Ziya, who was wearing a Yuan Ting Yue Zhi demeanor, step by step up the steps leading to the temple.
Hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides, with blazing eyes, a mixture of awe and expectation.
The ceremony was performed according to ancient rituals, solemn and sacred.
"I consecrate Jiang Shang as the Prime Minister today, taking charge of national affairs and counselor of military aircraft!
I hope Imperial Father Shang Zuogu will inherit the fate of the sky and the world, and fight against the unjust, and I will be safe and sound!"
Ji Chang's voice was like a bell, echoing in the temple, and like thunder, exploding in Jiang Ziya's heart.
"Your Majesty Jiang Shang, take your orders! You will do your best to help my Lord Obey Heaven, Respond to People, Ding Stabilize Heaven and Earth!"
Jiang Ziya bowed, raised his hands to make a seal, and spoke in a steady and powerful voice.
The moment He straightened up, the God-Beating Whip in his sleeve seemed to sense something, and made a low and majestic buzz that only he could hear!
The icy aura of Investiture of the Gods Scroll also seemed to be stronger, vaguely connected with the eager royal luck in the sky above Xi Qi.
At this moment, Jiang Ziya clearly felt that he had completely stepped into the center of the whirlpool.
