"Why are you back again? Tell me, what is it about Eldest Senior Brother that you've taken a fancy to? Just take it."
Seeing Wu Dang Mother return again, Hong Ze couldn't help but feel that something wasn't quite right.
Although these girls would come to him to "borrow" things from time to time, they would never come back so soon after leaving.
Moreover, at this moment, Wu Dang Mother's face didn't have her usual relaxed smile; instead, it was filled with solemnity.
Hearing Hong Ze say this, Wu Dang Mother shook her head directly.
At the same time, she waved her hand, and three books appeared before Hong Ze. They were precisely the Investiture of the Gods that Hong Ze had written earlier.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with these three books, right?"
When Wu Dang Mother took out the three books of Investiture of the Gods, Hong Ze already understood why Wu Dang Mother wanted to learn writing from him.
He couldn't help but inwardly cry out that something was wrong, but at this point, even if Hong Ze regretted it, it was already too late.
When Hong Ze wrote Investiture of the Gods, the Great Dao System had not been uninstalled.
Moreover, this was a task issued by the Great Dao System, which was why Hong Ze wrote Investiture of the Gods.
Although the Great Dao System was successfully uninstalled before Investiture of the Gods was finished, a voice in his subconscious kept telling Hong Ze that he must complete Investiture of the Gods.
So Hong Ze did not give up on completing this task because the Great Dao System was uninstalled.
Because Hong Ze had always believed that this task was still ongoing, otherwise the first book of Investiture of the Gods he finished would definitely not have disappeared without a trace.
And when Hong Ze finished the second book, it also disappeared inexplicably.
This also made Hong Ze always feel that it should have been recycled by the Great Dao System as a task item.
He was even more certain that this task was still in progress, and the Investiture of the Gods he had written must have been recycled as a task item.
After all, before this, the Great Dao System had recycled many task items, which was nothing new to Hong Ze.
But what Hong Ze didn't expect was that these three books of Investiture of the Gods had fallen into Wu Dang Mother's hands.
And just as Hong Ze felt caught off guard, something in his body seemed to shatter at this moment.
His cultivation, which had not changed for tens of thousands of years, finally increased at this moment.
Moreover, he directly broke through the Heavenly Immortal Peak realm and reached the True Immortal Initial Stage realm.
At the same time, Hong Ze could clearly feel that his body was now able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This couldn't help but greatly surprise Hong Ze, who thought to himself, Could this be the reward for completing the task?
Could it be that finishing Investiture of the Gods was not the real completion of the task, and it only counts as completed when there are readers?
This also made Hong Ze freeze in place, but Wu Dang Mother didn't know so much.
She thought that Hong Ze had this expression because she had secretly read Investiture of the Gods.
This also couldn't help but make Wu Dang Mother feel a trace of worry in her heart, and there was a hint of flickering in her eyes as she looked at Hong Ze.
Hong Ze finally calmed the excitement in his heart and began to think of a way to muddle through.
His final decision could only be to work on his own cultivation, so he spoke to Wu Dang Mother.
"You asked your Senior Brother to teach you how to read just so you could understand these three books you stole from me?"
Now that things had come to this, Wu Dang Mother naturally didn't beat around the bush anymore and nodded at Hong Ze.
"Yes."
Her simple and affirmative answer made Hong Ze sigh helplessly.
"Presumably, you have already understood the contents of the books. Then, I wonder if you think what is written in the books will truly happen?"
At this moment, Hong Ze was trying his best to find a way to make the appearance of the Investiture of the Gods more reasonable.
Wu Dang Mother first nodded at Hong Ze, then immediately shook her head.
"Eldest Senior Brother, this is exactly what I, your Junior Sister, wanted to ask you. Will our Jie Sect truly meet such an end?"
Hong Ze nodded. "Do you know why my cultivation has been unable to break through for so long?"
Wu Dang Mother shook her head, and at the same time, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Hong Ze changed.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you've broken through! You even directly broke through a major realm, reaching the True Immortal realm."
Looking at the shocked Wu Dang Mother, Hong Ze sighed again and spoke.
"Back then, I inadvertently touched the River of Fate of the Jie Sect. In the River of Fate of the Jie Sect, I glimpsed this heavenly secret.
It is precisely because I glimpsed this heavenly secret that my cultivation was sealed at the Heavenly Immortal realm.
For tens of thousands of years, no matter how diligently I cultivated, I still couldn't make any progress in my cultivation. Perhaps this is the heavenly punishment I received for leaking the heavenly secret.
Moreover, at the same time I glimpsed this heavenly secret, I also obtained the kind of writing that I taught you, Junior Sister.
There was also a voice in the dark that told me to write down the heavenly secret I had glimpsed as this Investiture of the Gods.
There is only one purpose for writing the Investiture of the Gods, and that is for others to see the contents of this Investiture of the Gods.
At that time, my cultivation would break through the seal, but anyone who saw the Investiture of the Gods would inevitably become a player in the game.
Originally, I thought these three books were lost and would no longer implicate anyone in this dead end.
But I never expected that you, Junior Sister Wu Dang, would become the first person to read the Investiture of the Gods."
After hearing this, Wu Dang Mother said to Hong Ze with a shocked expression.
"Eldest Senior Brother, is it really because I, your Junior Sister, read the Investiture of the Gods that your cultivation was able to break through?
If that's really the case, doesn't it mean that the more people who read the Investiture of the Gods, the faster Eldest Senior Brother's cultivation will improve?"
Hong Ze never expected that this girl would come up with such an idea.
He thought to himself that if she really put it into action, he would probably truly suffer heavenly punishment.
He immediately shook his head at Wu Dang Mother. "Junior Sister Wu Dang, have you noticed that I, your Senior Brother, do not exist in this book?"
Wu Dang Mother was just about to ask Hong Ze about this matter, why among the hundreds of thousands of words in the Investiture of the Gods, only this Eldest Senior Brother was absent.
Now that she heard Hong Ze mention it, she naturally nodded without hesitation. "I, your Junior Sister, was also curious about this matter."
Hong Ze sighed as he looked in the direction of Biyou Palace, "Because I am an outsider to the Jie Sect's destiny, I was able to glimpse this heavenly secret.
And you are the only direct disciple of the Jie Sect who managed to escape the Investiture of the Gods calamity unscathed, so you are the one with profound blessings.
Perhaps this is fate's arrangement in the unseen. I fear only you and I can prevent the Jie Sect from being annihilated in the Investiture of the Gods calamity.
Master must have seen this point as well. Otherwise, how could Master have gone against all opinions back then and made me, who was utterly useless, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Jie Sect?"
Hong Ze directly shifted the blame, making Master Tongtian the mastermind behind the scenes.
And most importantly, Wu Dang Mother actually found Hong Ze's explanation to be quite reasonable.
