Yuanshi Tianzun Descends Upon Wuyi Mountain, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao Agree to Yuanshi Tianzun's Request

Myriad Demon Mountain's Demon Sage Hall.

Kunpeng, the Demon Master, Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ying Zhao, Shang Yang, and Ji Meng, the six Monster Clan powerhouses, were deeply moved.

Then Kunpeng, the Demon Master, and the other five respectfully said, "Tenth Prince, we cannot let you alone take part in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation for the Monster Clan!"

"We shall obey Tenth Prince's commands at any time and in any place!"

"As long as Tenth Prince has any need, the entire Monster Clan is willing to brave fire and water for you without hesitation!"

Lu Ya nodded and said, "Demon Master, Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ying Zhao, Ji Meng, Shang Yang, all of you rise."

"For the Monster Clan's future, if I need you, I will send word to you."

"However, without our command, you must never take part in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation!"

"You must remember this!!!"

Kunpeng, the Demon Master, Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, and Shang Yang said, "Yes, Tenth Prince!"

Afterward, Lu Ya asked Bai Ze about the Monster Clan's situation after retreating to the North Kuru Continent.

Bai Ze and the other four answered Lu Ya's questions one by one.

Southern Jambudvipa Continent.

Yuanshi Tianzun's figure appeared out of thin air in the void above the Wuyi Mountain range.

Then Yuanshi Tianzun's powerful divine sense swept across the Wuyi Mountain range.

In an instant, Yuanshi Tianzun discovered the cave abode of the two powerhouses, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled, and his figure vanished from the void.

Outside Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's cave abode, Yuanshi Tianzun's figure appeared out of thin air.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not conceal his aura.

At that moment, two cold shouts rang out.

"Where does this powerhouse come from, daring to trespass into Wuyi Mountain?"

As soon as the words fell, two middle-aged men emerged from the cave abode and arrived not far from Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun took one look and found that the two powerhouses were the Wuyi Mountain independent cultivators, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.

When Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao saw who had come, shock appeared on their faces.

"Y-You are Yuanshi Tianzun????"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "That is correct. It is I!"

Then Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao cupped their hands in salute and said, "Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao greet Fellow Daoist Yuanshi!"

Yuanshi Tianzun returned the salute. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xiao and Fellow Daoist Cao!"

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, please enter our cave abode so we may talk."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded. "Good!"

Afterward, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao led Yuanshi Tianzun into the cave abode.

Inside the cave abode's main hall.

After Yuanshi Tianzun took his seat, Xiao Sheng brewed three cups of tea.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, why have you suddenly come to Wuyi Mountain?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Cao, I have indeed come to find you over a very important matter."

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, what exactly have you come to us for?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "It is because of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation!"

"What? Another great tribulation has begun?"

"This time, it is the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation????"

At once, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao sprang to their feet in shock, their faces filled with disbelief as they stared at Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is the Dao Ancestor's decree!"

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, what is the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?"

"And what gods are being invested?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation concerns Haotian, the Dao Ancestor's attendant, and Yaochi, the Dao Ancestor's maidservant, who established the Heavenly Court under the Dao Ancestor's orders."

"However, Haotian complained to the Dao Ancestor that despite the vast Heavenly Court, there were no powerhouses for him to command."

"Thus, the Dao Ancestor issued a decree, ordering the Supreme Purity Sage, myself, the Nuwa Sage, Daoist Jieyin, Daoist Zhunti, and Junior Brother Tongtian, the six Sages, to jointly sign the Investiture of the Gods List."

"The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation centers on the Great Shang Dynasty, in the war between the Great Zhou Dynasty we support and the Great Shang Dynasty."

"So-called investiture means that the powerhouses who perish in the great war will have their bodies destroyed, while their true spirits ascend to the Investiture of the Gods List to be granted godhood!"

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, will the Sage Realm sects of the Human Sect, Interception Sect, Elucidation Sect, Nuwa Palace, and Western Sect participate as well?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Cao, under the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, none of the living beings in the Primordial World can remain uninvolved!"

"Therefore, disciples of my Elucidation Sect, Nuwa Palace, the Human Sect, the Interception Sect, and the Western Sect will all take part."

"Perhaps even..."

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, perhaps even what?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Perhaps even we Sage Realm experts will take part!"

At once, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao sprang to their feet again, staring at Yuanshi Tianzun with shock written all over their faces.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Cao, there is no need for you to be shocked."

"Under the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, anything is possible!"

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao nodded. "Mm, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you are right."

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, what matter brings you to Wuyi Mountain to find us?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Cao, I have come to ask you to leave the mountain and take part in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation!"

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is so dangerous. With our cultivation realms, if we take part, we may well face the risk of perishing."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "In the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, any powerhouse who participates faces the risk of perishing, including Sage Realm experts!"

At that moment, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were completely stunned by Yuanshi Tianzun's words.

Yuanshi Tianzun continued, "Once you take part in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, when it ends—"

"The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World will bestow boundless merit upon you, helping you break through your cultivation realms."

"Moreover, the boundless merit bestowed by the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao will erase the karmic sins accumulated upon you."

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you are right."

"Taking part in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation means risks and rewards coexist."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, please allow us to consider it."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Good!"

Then Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao began weighing the advantages and disadvantages of participating in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

A moment later, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, we agree to take part in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation!"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Good. Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Cao, go directly to Haojing, the former capital of Western Qi."

"My Elucidation Sect disciple Jiang Shang serves as prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"In addition, Daoist Randeng, the vice sect leader of the Elucidation Sect, and Antarctic Immortal are both in Haojing City."

"Go directly to Haojing City of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao said, "Good, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi. We will depart at once!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded. "Good, then I shall take my leave!"

With that, Yuanshi Tianzun directly fled through the air and departed.

After Yuanshi Tianzun left, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao walked out of the cave abode.

Then Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao jointly formed hand seals and cast a spell, sealing the cave abode.

Afterward, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's figures flashed, and both of them vanished from the entrance of the cave abode!
