Antarctic Immortal Captures Shen Gongbao, Shen Gongbao Expelled from Jade Void Palace!

Heaven-Facing Hall.

Shen Gongbao heard that Di Xin had appointed him Imperial Preceptor of the Great Shang Dynasty.

At once, Shen Gongbao's heart filled with excitement.

Shen Gongbao knew that after his senior brother Ziya had come to Chaoge, Di Xin had not granted him any official post at all.

In the end, his senior brother Ziya had gone to Western Qi, and no one knew how he was doing now.

Shen Gongbao immediately clasped his hands and bowed to Di Xin. "This humble Daoist, Shen Gongbao, thanks Your Majesty, the Human Emperor!"

Di Xin said, "Daoist Shen, from this day onward, you are the Imperial Preceptor of my Great Shang Dynasty!"

Shen Gongbao respectfully said, "Many thanks, Your Majesty!"

Di Xin said, "Daoist Shen, I have heard that you have made friends far and wide throughout the Primordial World?"

Upon hearing this, a proud look immediately appeared on Shen Gongbao's face.

Shen Gongbao said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Di Xin pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Imperial Preceptor Shen, my Great Shang Dynasty lacks worthy and capable men such as yourself."

"I wonder whether Imperial Preceptor Shen would be willing to travel throughout the Primordial World and invite your friends to join my Great Shang?"

Shen Gongbao said, "Your Majesty, this is something this humble minister dares guarantee to you."

"As long as this humble Daoist invites them, they will surely come to Great Shang with me and serve Your Majesty, sharing your burdens."

Di Xin nodded. "Good, good!"

"Since that is the case, I shall trouble Imperial Preceptor Shen to personally invite those friends of yours to Great Shang."

"I will build an Imperial Preceptor's Residence for you in Chaoge City!"

"When the time comes, I will grant official posts to the fellow Daoists you invite, as I see fit."

Shen Gongbao respectfully bowed to Di Xin.

"Then, on behalf of this humble Daoist's fellow Daoists, I thank Your Majesty."

Di Xin nodded.

Afterward, Di Xin announced the end of court.

Once court was dismissed, Shen Gongbao hastily departed Chaoge.

High in the sky, Shen Gongbao flew along with a smug, triumphant expression on his face.

Shen Gongbao said, "Ziya, Ziya, didn't you always say you were better than me?"

"You went to Chaoge, yet His Majesty the Human Emperor did not grant you so much as a single official post."

"But the moment I arrived in Chaoge and had an audience with His Majesty the Human Emperor, he appointed me Imperial Preceptor of the Great Shang Dynasty."

"The Imperial Preceptor of the Great Shang Dynasty holds a position comparable even to Great Shang's Chancellor or Grand Tutor."

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Shen Gongbao immediately threw back his head and laughed wildly.

Just as Shen Gongbao was laughing, a cold snort rang in his ears.

"Hmph! Shen Gongbao, you have quite the nerve, opposing Ziya at every turn."

"You constantly ruin Ziya's good affairs. Do you know your crime?"

Shen Gongbao was startled, for he recognized the voice of the newcomer.

Before Shen Gongbao could speak, a figure appeared out of thin air.

The instant Shen Gongbao saw that figure, his expression changed drastically.

Shen Gongbao thought, Oh no, it's Antarctic Immortal!

Judging by Antarctic Immortal's expression and tone, he has definitely come to call me to account.

Shen Gongbao immediately put on a fawning smile. "Senior Brother Antarctic Immortal, Shen Gongbao did not know you were coming and failed to welcome you from afar. I hope Senior Brother will not blame me."

Antarctic Immortal coldly snorted. "Hmph! Shen Gongbao, do you know your crime?"

Shen Gongbao said, "Senior Brother, what crime has Shen Gongbao committed?"

Antarctic Immortal said coldly, "Shen Gongbao, even now you remain stubborn and refuse to admit it?"

Shen Gongbao said in alarm, "Senior Brother, Shen Gongbao truly does not know what I have done wrong."

Antarctic Immortal rebuked him coldly, "Shen Gongbao, you oppose Junior Brother Ziya at every turn."

"Time and again, you have ruined Junior Brother Ziya's great affairs and slandered his reputation everywhere."

"Speak! What exactly are your intentions?"

Shen Gongbao hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, I have not opposed Senior Brother Ziya at every turn!"

"Nor have I ruined Senior Brother Ziya's great affairs! I ask Senior Brother Antarctic Immortal not to falsely accuse your junior brother."

Antarctic Immortal sneered. "Hmph! Shen Gongbao, what a silver-tongued mouth you have."

"You were the one opposing Ziya at every turn, and you still dare say I slandered you?"

"You truly know how to turn black into white, sweet-talk your way through things, and stir up trouble!"

"Shen Gongbao, today I have come under Master's decree to capture you and take you back to Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, where you will await Master's judgment."

Shen Gongbao said in shock, "Senior Brother Antarctic Immortal, what did you say?"

"You came under Master's orders specifically to capture me and take me back to Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain?"

Antarctic Immortal said coldly, "Hmph, that's right."

Having said this, Antarctic Immortal gave Shen Gongbao no time to react and bound him in an instant.

Antarctic Immortal reached out and seized Shen Gongbao directly in his hand.

Then Antarctic Immortal vanished into the void, taking Shen Gongbao with him as he flew toward Kunlun Mountain!

Before long, Antarctic Immortal arrived at the great hall of Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain with Shen Gongbao in custody.

At this moment, within the great hall of Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat cross-legged upon a cloud bed suspended in the void.

Upon arriving at the great hall of Jade Void Palace, Antarctic Immortal casually waved his hand and threw Shen Gongbao at Yuanshi Tianzun's feet.

Antarctic Immortal said respectfully, "Master, this disciple has captured Shen Gongbao and brought him back to await Master's judgment."

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes and nodded at Antarctic Immortal.

Then Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened as he looked at Shen Gongbao.

The instant Shen Gongbao saw Yuanshi Tianzun's expression, he was scared out of his wits.

At once, Shen Gongbao respectfully knelt on the ground and begged Yuanshi Tianzun for mercy.

"Master, this disciple knows his mistake."

"Master, this disciple will never dare do it again. Please forgive me, Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly, "Forgive you?"

"Do you know what mission Ziya bore when he descended the mountain?"

"Yet you opposed Ziya at every turn and repeatedly sabotaged his great undertakings."

Shen Gongbao hurriedly said, "Master, Senior Brother Ziya and I were merely competing as peers."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly, "Hmph, Shen Gongbao, do you know that Ziya is the one personally designated by the Dao Ancestor to preside over the Investiture of the Gods List?"

"And yet you repeatedly tried to seize Ziya's Investiture of the Gods List?"

"For an incorrigible disciple like you, I will absolutely not tolerate you further sabotaging the great plan of the Investiture of the Gods!"

"Therefore, I have decided to personally abolish the secret arts and cultivation techniques of the Elucidation Sect that you have cultivated."

"Then I will expel you from Jade Void Palace!"

Shen Gongbao's face instantly drained of color upon hearing this.

Then Shen Gongbao hurriedly kowtowed to Yuanshi Tianzun and begged for mercy.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun gave Shen Gongbao no time to react at all.

With a casual wave of his hand, Yuanshi Tianzun sent a terrifying force rushing into Shen Gongbao's body.

In an instant, the Elucidation Sect cultivation techniques Shen Gongbao had practiced were erased by Yuanshi Tianzun.

The terrifying power from Yuanshi Tianzun's casual wave directly wiped away every Jade Void secret art within Shen Gongbao's body.

Then Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly, "Shen Gongbao, in consideration of how difficult cultivation has been for you, I will not abolish your cultivation."

"From this moment on, you are no longer a disciple of my Jade Void Palace."

Before Shen Gongbao could react, Yuanshi Tianzun casually waved his hand.

"Get lost!"

Shen Gongbao's figure was flung beyond the territory of Jade Void Palace by Yuanshi Tianzun.

In an instant, Shen Gongbao was cast out of Jade Void Palace by Yuanshi Tianzun and appeared at the foot of an unnamed mountain.

Shen Gongbao climbed to his feet, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked toward Jade Void Palace.

With hatred written all over his face, Shen Gongbao said, "Fine! I will make every last one of you regret this!"

Then Shen Gongbao began examining himself and discovered that Yuanshi Tianzun had merely erased his cultivation techniques and secret arts.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun had not abolished his cultivation realm.

Shen Gongbao said thankfully, "Good. As long as my cultivation realm has not been abolished!"
