Investiture of the Gods

"Master, is it done?"

Zhang Yang noticed their expressions and quickly asked what was wrong.

"It probably didn't work!" True Immortal Lichen replied. "I was touched, but not strongly, and I didn't feel anything else!"

Azure Cloud Master looked conflicted. He was indeed moved, but he did not truly feel any Divine Dao Authority.

This shows that his imperial decree was actually useless.

Zhang Yang was completely bewildered. Since he was moved, it meant that such an imperial decree might be feasible.

However, it was unsuccessful.

What exactly is the reason behind this?

Seeing Zhang Yang's conflicted expression, Azure Cloud Master said, "Alright, Zhang Yang, don't worry about this for now. I'll take my time to figure it out... You are the next School Leader of the Azure Cloud Sect. I want to ask you, should the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect follow the Immortal Dao or the path of Divine Dao?"

"Go wherever you want!" Zhang Yang said casually.

His mind was still preoccupied with the matter of the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods.

If he can figure it out, he can ask his master to bestow upon him a higher-ranking deity; that's taking a shortcut!

If there's a shortcut, why would anyone bother with the slow and painstaking cultivation?

"Shall I now gather all the disciples of the sect and explain the Divine Dao to them?" Azure Cloud Master asked.

"No..." Zhang Yang hurriedly shook his head, "Master, the Immortal Cultivation Realm is too chaotic now, with immortals, Celestial, Demon, Monster and Ghosts all existing. If people find out that you are the World-Opener the Divine Dao and that you have succeeded in doing so, it's not good, and it will also affect your safety."

Especially with the existence of Demon Lord, we must be extra careful.

The Void-Breaking Demonic Spear still exists in the Lower Realm. If the Emperor Armament senses your Divine Dao's restraint over the Demon Dao, and if the Emperor Armament is deployed, we will have no power to resist.

"After the Prodigy Battlefield is over, Master can still explain the Divine Dao."

Azure Cloud Master, remembering the existence of the Void-Breaking Demonic Spear, hurriedly nodded.

Because his Divine Dao is righteous, it naturally restrains the Demon Dao.

If the Void-Breaking Demonic Spear finds out, it might actually come to kill us.

With the power of Emperor Armament, absolutely none of them would escape unscathed.

Just as Azure Cloud Master was about to lead Zhang Yang and True Immortal Lichen away from the Dao Domain, Zhang Yang suddenly shouted, "I understand!"

"What do you know?" Azure Cloud Master and True Immortal Lichen looked at Zhang Yang in surprise.

"I know why you failed to Investiture of the Gods, Master!" Zhang Yang said excitedly. "Master, since you wanted to Investiture of the Gods, of course you had to use your own Divine Dao Authority!"

Your Divine Dao Authority is Divine Power!

"Now, with your Divine Power, write the decree of investiture upon your Divine Dao; you will surely succeed."

He didn't really know if he could succeed, but if he used Divine Dao Authority to write the imperial decree, it might actually work.

"This..."

"Master, don't hesitate, give it a try, it'll definitely work!" Zhang Yang urged. "If you can really succeed in bestowing the titles, you can bestow titles on more gods of the Azure Cloud Continent in the future, making the Azure Cloud Continent as solid as a rock."

"Alright!" Azure Cloud Master smiled wryly.

He himself didn't have much confidence, after all, no one had ever walked the Divine Dao before, and he was feeling his way across the river.

However, he admitted that his apprentice's suggestion might be one approach.

Then, he calmed his mind and silently recited the contents of the Investiture of the Gods in his heart. Then, he gathered his divine power and used it as ink to write in the Dao Domain: "I hereby confer upon Li Chen the title of Mountain God of Qingyun Peak, to bear the responsibility of guarding the land and protecting all living beings!"

Divine light surged wildly, and the Dao Domain trembled violently.

The words written with Divine Power flew towards the True Immortal Lichen, and formed a command contract in his hand.

At the same time, Li Chen felt that his Divine Soul had become incredibly close to Azure Cloud Peak, even to the point of merging into one.

"It's done!" True Immortal Lichen was overjoyed.

He was granted the title, so he wouldn't have to die or be experimented on anymore.

More importantly, he is now following a World-Opener of Great Dao, and has a powerful figure protecting him.

The benefits are simply too great.

"It's done?" Azure Cloud Master was somewhat incredulous. They'd actually bestowed the title of Mountain God?

Moreover, as the Divine Dao Lord, after he successfully conferred the title of Mountain God, he felt that the power of the Divine Dao had become even more terrifying.

In other words, his Divine Dao authority has become more complete.

"Haha!" Zhang Yang laughed heartily. "Master, bestow one upon me too... I don't want a regional Divine Spirit, just grant me a higher position, one that can move freely and use your Divine Dao Authority Divine Spirit!"

Azure Cloud Master was speechless.

No wonder they're so actively researching the Investiture of the Gods!

He glanced at Zhang Yang and said, "Alright, I'll appoint you as the guardian deity of the God Realm. Is that enough?"

"That's enough!" Zhang Yang nodded repeatedly.

He looked at his master expectantly, wondering why the official title hadn't been conferred yet.

Azure Cloud Master said irritably, "I am currently only True God Realm, and I don't even have God Realm yet. How can I bestow a title upon you as a Guardian God? Just wait, the moment my God Realm is fully perfected and I ascend, I will bestow a title upon you!"

"Then Master, don't forget!" Zhang Yang said, still unwilling to give up.

It seems we still can't fully unleash the power of the Divine Dao!

"Understood, let's go!" Azure Cloud Master led Zhang Yang and Li Chen away from the Dao Domain and appeared at Azure Cloud Peak.

Upon arriving at Azure Cloud Peak, Li Chen hurriedly said, "Divine Lord, I will be the Mountain God of Azure Cloud Peak from now on... However, I feel something foreign inside my body."

As the Mountain God, Azure Cloud Peak is equivalent to his physical body.

Unfortunately, he possessed an Immortal Artifact within his body— the Azure Sky Jade Disk!

"Bear with it!" Azure Cloud Master said calmly. "From now on, you will guard Azure Cloud Peak well. After you have made some achievements, I will bestow upon you a higher title. I have already told you the secrets of the Divine Dao, and you can also cultivate it."

"Thank you, Divine Lord!" Li Chen said in gratitude.

Then, his Divine Soul disappeared into Azure Cloud Peak.

Zhang Yang glanced at Azure Cloud Peak and said, "Master, we should reassign this fellow to another location as soon as possible!"

He certainly didn't want a Mountain God watching over him every time he ate or slept!

"Yes!" Azure Cloud Master nodded. "I will instruct him not to pry into any other secrets besides guarding Azure Cloud Peak."

Zhang Yang was relieved.

"Master, how much attachment do you still have to the Azure Cloud Sect in the Immortal Realm?" Zhang Yang asked. "Our current development has already veered in a different direction from the Immortal Realm. If you still have any attachment, then we must consider their escape route, otherwise they will likely face annihilation in the Immortal Realm."

Because in the eyes of the Immortal Dao, the Azure Cloud Sect is now probably considered a "Outer Dao".

If Azure Cloud Master had no ulterior motives, Zhang Yang would have been ruthless in scheming against the Immortal Realm.

However, if there is still a lingering sense of gratitude for the kindness of the ancestral masters in the Immortal Realm, Zhang Yang should prepare early.

Azure Cloud Master pondered for a moment before saying, "You handle it, I won't interfere."

However, if we can give them a way out, then we should give them a way out!

Although he inherited his lineage from the Azure Cloud Sect, after experiencing the millennium of Demon Calamity, they were essentially severed from the Azure Cloud Sect.

However, Azure Cloud Master had to admit that his master was from the Azure Cloud Sect, and the Supreme Lore they initially inherited came from the Azure Cloud Sect.

However, these favors were almost entirely repaid during the millennium of Demon Calamity.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I know how to handle it. Master, go and comprehend the Divine Dao; leave the rest to me!"

Azure Cloud Master nodded and disappeared.

Zhang Yang, on the other hand Miao Yun, went to find Miao Yun True Immortal Realm and had a good talk with the True Immortal Realm.
