Bestowing Pills and Distributing Treasures, Wu Chao Seeks Revenge

Upon arriving at the Martial Accomplishment King Residence, Gu Changqing received the highest honors.

Gu Changqing, the Imperial Preceptor of Great Shang, was Great Shang's god!

After the Martial Accomplishment King and the others were released by Shi Ji, they all knelt and bowed to Gu Changqing.

"Chong Houhu greets the Imperial Preceptor!"

"Huang Tianhua greets the Imperial Preceptor!"

Whether they knew him or not, they all looked at Gu Changqing with reverence.

In their hearts, Gu Changqing was omnipotent.

Leaving aside the battle at North Sea, just moments ago, they heard that Gu Changqing had defeated Xuandu with a single finger. Who wouldn't be shocked?

That was Xuandu!

The leader of the second-generation disciples of the Mysterious Sect!

What shocked them most was that Gu Changqing had Proved the Dao!

Proving the Dao of Mixed Origin was like becoming a saint on the spot!

With Gu Changqing overseeing Chong City, there was nothing to fear!

"Soldiers, you've worked hard!"

Gu Changqing used his magic power to help everyone up, then said, "We are all subjects in the same court; there's no need to be so polite."

"Thank you for risking your lives for Great Shang."

"Thank you for guarding the strategic passes for Great Shang."

As Gu Changqing spoke, he exchanged for three thousand Nine Revolutions Golden Pills and three thousand Limitless Creation Pills, handing them to the Martial Accomplishment King. He then added:

"Martial Accomplishment King, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills can help people quickly break through to Golden Immortal, and the Limitless Creation Pills can help people quickly break through to Great Luo Golden Immortal. Distribute ten of each to everyone. The rest is your reward."

Regardless of Di Xin's reputation or how difficult their situation was, these people had always remained loyal to Great Shang and always fulfilled their duties.

These people deserved to be rewarded!

"Thank you, Imperial Preceptor!"

"Thank you, Imperial Preceptor!"

"We will lay down our lives for the Imperial Preceptor!"

Another chorus of cheers erupted.

They had galloped on battlefields and shed blood for many years. They had only heard of immortals but had never entered the gates of the divine.

How could they not be excited now, with such a sudden ascent?

No!

This wasn't one person ascending, but rather "when one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"!

Because everyone received ten portions!

How could they not be moved to tears of gratitude?

They were all tough, unyielding men, loyal and righteous soldiers.

At this moment, they were so emotional that tears streamed down their faces.

"No! You are mistaken."

Gu Changqing extended his hand, pressing it down virtually, stopping the cheers, and then said:

"It is not me, Gu Changqing, whom you should be loyal to, but Great Shang, and your Majesty!"

"Serve your Majesty with all your might!"

"We will not hesitate to die ten thousand times for Great Shang!"

Who cares whom they pledge loyalty to? Is there a difference between being loyal to Great Shang and being loyal to the Imperial Preceptor?

The Imperial Preceptor was His Majesty's teacher; even His Majesty had to kneel!

The soldiers grew even more respectful of Gu Changqing, not just for his cultivation.

But also for his unwavering loyalty.

Even after Proving the Dao, he still upheld the distinction between ruler and subject.

Thinking of how they had shed blood for Great Shang for so many years, they finally saw a reward today.

It was worth it!

The Xiqi rebels?

"Heh heh…"

With hundreds, even thousands, of Great Luo Golden Immortals, what exactly is Xiqi?

Gu Changqing thought he'd already given them a cheat, so he might as well go big.

He then exchanged for three thousand High-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures and gave them to the Martial Accomplishment King to distribute.

"This…"

Is this what it means to be a powerful figure?

Everyone was already dazzled.

Happiness had come too suddenly, too intensely!

Poor Zhou Ji, he had once fought for Great Shang, even achieving great military feats.

In the end, for a paltry sum, he lost his integrity in his later years. Not only did he lose his head, but he also missed the greatest opportunity of his life.

Life truly is like a play!

Isn't it?

Who would have thought the Imperial Preceptor would suddenly come to Chong City?

Who could have imagined the Imperial Preceptor was so generous?

Who could have imagined the Imperial Preceptor was so rich!

There were simply too many unexpected things.

Seeing their morale boosted, Gu Changqing smiled knowingly.

If six or seven hundred billion Merits couldn't boost morale, then there was truly no hope.

Gu Changqing looked up at Xiqi. He genuinely couldn't figure out where the Three Sects' chances of winning lay.

In any time or space, no power could rival the "power of money," especially in war.

In the Primordial World, Merits were the "power of money!"

Gu Changqing not only had the "power of money" but also cheats!

How confident was Lu Ya back then?

He didn't even put a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal in his eyes, yet he ultimately died due to Gu Changqing's cheats, killed by his own Immortal Slaying Flying Knife.

He died with grievances!

A banquet.

A celebration banquet!

One was to celebrate Gu Changqing's great victory, and the other was to celebrate their own good fortune.

Halfway through the feast, a shout suddenly came from outside the city.

"Gu Changqing, come out and face your death!"

Immediately after, a great sun rose.

"Imperial Preceptor, allow us to capture this rebel!"

The generals were a bit tipsy from the alcohol and feeling overconfident.

Gu Changqing chuckled, "I'll go. The Western Sect's Mahavairocana would be too much for all of you combined."

"This…"

The Martial Accomplishment King gave an awkward laugh.

Although they wanted to show their loyalty, their strength didn't allow it.

Gu Changqing flashed outside the city, subtly raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Wu Chao Zen Master? Mahavairocana?"

"It is this humble monk. Are you Gu Changqing?"

Gu Changqing nodded, then said, "It is rumored that you have a deep connection with Lu Ya Taoist. Is that true?"

It was fine when Lu Ya wasn't mentioned, but at the mention of him, Mahavairocana's entire body flared up.

He was originally hidden within the True Sun Fire.

But as his "blood pressure" rose, the fire burned even more fiercely.

"Knowing that, you still dared to kill fellow Taoist Lu Ya?"

Gu Changqing was a little confused. He couldn't understand why a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't dare kill a Quasi-Saint.

Had this fellow eaten too much vegetarian food, filling his brain with tofu dregs?

Gu Changqing continued, "For Nüwa's sake, I'll spare your life. You may retreat."

Both Lu Ya and Wu Chao Zen Master had some connection to Nüwa.

If Lu Ya hadn't ambushed him beforehand, he wouldn't have sent Lu Ya to the Investiture of the Gods List.

"Dong—"

Gu Changqing had just turned around when he heard the clang of a bell.

The nine heavens roared with thunder, and the earth shook.

Gu Changqing quickly used the Creation Laws to stabilize the earth, water, fire, and wind in this area.

The Chaos Bell?

Gu Changqing turned his head to look at Wu Chao Zen Master, chuckling, "Why do you always think you can kill me just because you possess a supreme treasure?"

This monk truly lacked intelligence.

Even Yuanshi, wielding the Pangu Banner, couldn't do much to him back then.

How could a mere Quasi-Saint like you possibly harm me?

Wu Chao Zen Master was about to strike the Chaos Bell a second time, but Gu Changqing forcibly exchanged it.

Holding the Chaos Bell, Gu Changqing said, "You want to kill me, and I don't blame you for that. But you cannot use these countless lives as a price!"

The Chaos Bell, a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, was even more powerful than the Pangu Banner.

The Chaos Bell could twist the spacetime of all heavens, evolve the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, and stabilize the earth, water, fire, and wind.

Legend had it that after the Witch Demon Calamity, the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell were unknown.

Now that the Chaos Bell had fallen into Mahavairocana's hands, it was clear that this fellow had a deep connection with the Demon Court's tenth prince.

The Chaos Bell possessed such power; if he were allowed to keep striking it, the Primordial World might be shattered.

Hatred had made him completely lose his bottom line!

Gu Changqing had no choice but to exchange 10 billion Merits for the Chaos Bell.

"You..."

Mahavairocana was greatly alarmed. He had thought he could fight Gu Changqing with the Chaos Bell.

Who would have thought that before the battle even began, the Chaos Bell was already in the opponent's hands?

Even the Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree wasn't that miraculous!

At least it required a sweep, and though it claimed to sweep away everything, it couldn't sweep away Innate Supreme Treasures, let alone the Chaos Bell.

"What... what method did you use to steal my treasure?"

Gu Changqing couldn't be bothered to answer such a foolish question and directly summoned the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife.

"To disregard the lives of countless beings for personal hatred is an unforgivable sin!"

"Precious, please turn around!"

The immortal gourd opened, a white light flashed, and Mahavairocana's head fell to the ground.

A True Spirit flew towards the Investiture of the Gods List.

After slaying Mahavairocana, Gu Changqing returned to the Martial Accomplishment King Residence.

The Chaos Bell was a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, worth 10 billion Merits. The Seven Arrows Book also cost 10 billion Merits, so it might also be a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

"Imperial Preceptor, how did it go?"

The Martial Accomplishment King saw that Gu Changqing had only been gone for a moment, during which the heavens shook and the earth trembled, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Gu Changqing smiled, "Someone wanted to die, and I couldn't deny them."

"Everyone, let's continue the feast."

"Good!"

Everyone celebrated once more. No matter how formidable the enemy, they would never be as formidable as the Imperial Preceptor.

The Imperial Preceptor was the stabilizing force of Great Shang. With this stabilizing force, Great Shang would be worry-free for generations.

While they were celebrating their victory, the rebel army was shrouded in gloom.

Jiang Ziya had finally managed to invite Lu Ya Taoist, only for Lu Ya to die tragically.

Guided by Yuanshi, he then invited Mahavairocana, but he too ended up on the Investiture of the Gods List.

Even King Wen was so enraged and anxious that he fell ill!

Jiang Ziya felt like it was raining when his roof was already leaking.

No, he didn't just feel like his roof was leaking; he felt like he had no roof at all.

Imperial Preceptor Gu Changqing was invincible, capable of single-handedly facing a million soldiers.

Gu Changqing in Chong City was so powerful it suffocated him.
