Launching the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation

The Heavenly Dao has retreated, Qing Xuanzi has issued a decree stating that the ranking of Buddhism leaders will be determined by their cultivation level.

Things then became much simpler.

Zhen Yuanzi and two others, along with Jieyin and Zhunti, a total of five people, started a chaotic battle.

Unfortunately, both Jie Yin and Zhunti were well aware of the methods used by the Sages' Society.

The methods used by Jieyin and Zhunti Grand Ultimate Great Luo were completely unknown to Zhen Yuanzi and the other two.

In the ensuing chaotic battle, the side of Jie Yin and Zhunti emerged victorious without any doubt.

The position of the leader of Buddhism naturally changed, Jie Yin Jieyin and Zhunti taking the positions of leader and Deputy Sect Leader, Zhunti.

Zhen Yuanzi and his two companions were given the title of Dharma Protector Buddha.

Although the three of them were angry, they were helpless. After all, they were no match for the other side, so they had to accept it.

This is the rule of the Primordial World.

On this day, Zhunti asked, somewhat puzzled, "Senior brother, we've regained the position of sect leader, but the Three Sects Disciples are heading west. What does the Dao Ancestor mean by this?"

Jie Yin wasn't entirely sure either, and could only sigh and say, "Junior brother, don't be anxious. Just wait and see. If it really doesn't work out, you can surrender."

The strategy of Jie Yin is still clear: they must be on the side of the Dao Ancestor. We'll see what the Three Teachings intend when the time comes, or at worst, we can just surrender.

"Teacher, the Demon Lord has arrived," the Yaoshi Buddha reported.

"Luo Hou? What's he doing here? Never mind, let him in." Zhunti was taken aback at first, but then stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he was on Qing Xuanzi's side.

As soon as Luo Hou entered, before Jie Yin and Zhunti, he said directly, "Listen up, you two. Qing Xuanzi Tianzun said that he will take advantage of the situation to start the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. As for the people on the list, you two can decide what to do."

He left without lingering after saying that.

"Senior brother, I reckon that Celestial Venerable Qing Xuanzi intends for those sect leaders left behind by the Folo to be included on the list?"

Zhunti asked with some surprise and uncertainty.

"Probably so. Right now, the Heavenly Court's high-ranking officials are all Three Sects Disciples. Those who made the list are just minor gods and generals." Jie Yin thought for a moment and replied.

"Although I find it a pity, from the perspective of the Heavenly Venerable, what if all these remaining followers go to the Heavenly Court?" Zhunti stopped before finishing his sentence.

What follows implies a doubt about Qing Xuanzi's abilities, so it must not be uttered.

Having been fellow disciples for so many years, Jie Yin and Zhunti naturally knew what Zhunti wanted to say. After a moment of silence, Jieyin said, "How could we possibly imagine the methods of the Heavenly Venerable? Let's proceed as planned for now. If we discover anything amiss halfway through, we can adjust accordingly."

"Okay, I'll listen to my senior brother."

The Primordial World beings sensed the impending conflict, and some even more astutely realized that a great calamity seemed to be approaching.

They all went into seclusion, hoping not to be affected.

Even Heaven was baffled by Qing Xuanzi's actions; the Investiture of the Gods was still in its hands and had not been released.

He actually initiated a great calamity, and specified that it was the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

Originally, Heaven was hoping to make a fool of Qing Xuanzi. "The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation: You don't have the Investiture of the Gods, let's see how you manage to do it."

Years later, he suddenly discovered that the Investiture of the Gods was in trouble; it was slowly showing signs of collapse.

This is utterly ridiculous! How could such a precious treasure of the heavens be about to collapse?

It was only later that they discovered that the Investiture of the Gods Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings.

After the Earth Dao awakened, it saw that the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation had begun and the Investiture of the Gods had not appeared, so it began to draw from the Earth Dao's list.

As for humanity, although it has not yet awakened, with Qing Xuanzi, who has an unfair advantage, he can easily cause the humanity rankings to deviate from their previous positions.

If things continue like this, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings will be completely separated, and there will be no more Investiture of the Gods.

There are only Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings.

Heaven is panicking. If this continues, the lists of Earth Dao and Human Dao will be complete, but what about the list of Heavenly Dao?

Holy crap, the last one to be listed is the Heavenly Dao Ranking. If this continues, won't my Heavenly Dao be completely suppressed by the Earth Dao and the Human Dao?

Upon realizing this, Heaven could no longer remain still, and the Investiture of the Gods was thrown onto the Primordial World land like a hot potato.

Let it be in the world, so that if it's to be sealed, it can be sealed together, and it won't be left out of the Heavenly Dao Ranking alone.

"Master, am I right? Look, isn't the Heavenly Dao deliberately throwing down the Investiture of the Gods the Gods?" Qing Xuanzi had planned it all along. Whatever the Investiture of the Gods, it would be best if the Heavenly Dao held onto it. He would just divide it up.

"Yes, the Heavenly Dao is getting impatient. The Primordial World is not perfect to begin with. If there is not a single person on the Heavenly Dao Ranking, then it is better for him not to be the Heavenly Dao at all." Hongjun nodded.

After Qing Xuanzi shared his plans, Hongjun also carefully calculated them.

Indeed, Heaven would voluntarily hand over the Investiture of the Gods; otherwise, things would be even more difficult for him.

Qing Xuanzi waved his hand, summoning the Investiture of the Gods, and handed it to Tongtian, saying, "Senior Brother Tongtian..."

The matter of Investiture of the Gods will be handled by you. It would be best to send third-generation disciples from the Three Teachings to lead the expedition; otherwise...

I'm afraid those two Westerners won't even be able to withstand a single battle, and won't even be able to gather the Kalpa Qi. That would be terrible.

"Alright, I'll have Duobao and the others send out all the third-generation disciples. Big brother, second brother, what about you?"

"Well, the Elucidating Sect does indeed have a few third-generation disciples who are not up to par. I will entrust them to you." Yuanshi glanced at Tongtian, thought for a moment, and decided that the tribulation still needed to be overcome, so he agreed.

As for Laozi, it's simple. Xuan Du also took in many disciples, but in fact, it was Zi Shou. Their purpose was similar to Yuanshi's —to be used as shields. So he spoke up:

"Some of the sword cultivators among the third generation of the Humanity Sect were not capable of great things, so we handed them over to my third brother for arrangement."

"Alright, since both my elder brothers have said so, then the meeting place will be the Human Race Dao Palace. I'll go and make the arrangements." Tongtian said and left.

Actually, even if Tongtian were to preside over the event, Tongtian certainly wouldn't personally take charge; he couldn't bear the loss of face.

I reckon he'll just throw the Investiture of the Gods Duobao and leave it at that once he gets back.

After Tongtian left, Qing Xuanzi said to Nüwa, "Senior Sister Nüwa, it's time for the human realm to emerge. I've already sensed the aura of humanity. Why don't we have the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors activate the Human Realm Grand Array?"

Nüwa smiled and said indifferently, "You are the Deputy Sect Leader of the Humanity Sect, so you can activate it if you want."

The Human Realm Grand Array was a means used by Qing Xuanzi to prepare for the revival of humanity.

The Human Way is different from the Earth Dao; it represents the form of Pangu's Qi, which is characterized by change.

The Earth Dao represents the essence of Pangu's blood, signifying something substantial and weighty.

The Heavenly Way represents Pangu, the divine master and the master of rules.

When the three paths merge, the primordial spirit of Pangu will reappear in the Primordial World!

What Qing Xuanzi wanted to do was to develop all three paths to their peak before merging them, striving to achieve this in one go.

The appearance of Pangu marks the pinnacle of his power, completely severing the control of the ancient Heavenly Dao Sect.

When Qing Xuanzi arranged the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, in the Heavenly Dao Space.

The Heavenly Dao suddenly received a message from the River of Time: the Sect Master had been imprisoned by the Council of Elders, and all his disciples had been forced to exile themselves into the River of Time, begging the Heavenly Dao to send them the coordinates of the Primordial World Time Coordinates to Jie Yin them to the Primordial World.

The Heavenly Dao's mind went completely blank for a moment, and it crashed.

Can I go back?

If I can't go back, will I be beaten to death by Qing Xuanzi in the Primordial World? Or should I swallow my pride and beg?

Holy crap, how did things turn out like this? I need to sort this out.
