Zhunti was incredibly distressed.
Xiao Tian secretly chuckled to himself. With the tool person about to Zhunti, he could completely wash his hands of the business.
However, for the sake of his incarnation— Di Xin — the Great Shang cannot be destroyed.
Xiao Tian Dao Ancestor Hongjun's summoning of them and his Zhunti were all part of the Deva Path Dao's plan behind the scenes. The idea of dissolving the karma of heaven and earth was probably a lie. The real purpose was to incite a catastrophe no less than the War of the Witches and Demons King, or Primordial war between the War of Dao and Demons, to lure the powerful beings hidden in the Primordial into the killing game, so that he could better control the situation and make the Deva Path Dao itself even stronger.
A growing unease began to creep into Pangu Xiao Tian's mind: was the Primordial Heavenly Dao truly a product of natural creation, like that of Pangu?
Why is the Primordial Heavenly Dao so eager to push forward its plan and take control of the entire Primordial? Is it because it's afraid of something?
Dao Ancestor Hongjun swept his gaze across the assembled saints, Xiao Tian, and continued, "This Great Tribulation must be overcome as soon as possible; it cannot be delayed."
"Good!"
The saints departed.
The Three Pure Ones invited Xiao Tian to discuss the Dao, which forced Nüwa, who was eager to learn from Xiao Tian, to return to the Empress Wa Palace first.
Zhunti and Jieyin were deeply distressed and anxious. They returned to Spirit Mountain to think about how they could assist the kingdom that was about to annex the Great Shang.
The words of Dao Ancestor Hongjun clearly show that he does not take the Great Shang seriously and intends to make it a sacrifice to fill the Investiture of the Gods Great Shang, the order of the Heavenly Court, and the perfection of the system.
Eight Sceneries Palace of Mount Shouyang by Laozi.
This marks the first time in many years that the Three Pure Ones have gathered together.
"Fellow Daoist, we are all descendants of Pangu. Our teacher instructed Zhunti to help you fill the void in the Investiture of the Gods the Gods. However, with Yuanshi Brother Yuanshi assisting the Shang Dynasty, a fierce war between the Great Shang and the West is inevitable," Laozi said.
Xiao Tian was secretly pleased. It was quite ingenious. Originally, the world's trajectory was that the Jiejiao helped the Great Shang, Chan Sect Ji Family of the Western Zhou Dynasty. But because of his arrival as a transmigrator, everything was thrown into chaos.
"Fellow Daoist, are you worried that this seemingly Human Clan -based contest will force the disciples of the Yuanshi Beginning Sect, and even our own, into getting involved, leading to unpredictable consequences?" Xiao Deva Path.
Laozi nodded and said, "That's right. The influence of the Great Tribulation is such that even Sage would find it difficult to escape unscathed. Moreover, what worries me even more is that the Human Clan's fortune is fading away, albeit very slowly."
Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Xiao Tian couldn't help but calculate.
really!
As the Human Clan's fortunes decline, there will also be losses for Laozi, the leader of the Humanity Sect.
" Human Clan kingdoms cannot be unified; a long period of fragmentation is inevitable afterward."
Tongtian coldly said, "I think you are all overthinking this. The master's words at the Purple Cloud Palace, asking Zhunti to assist a country, were Zhunti to speed up the process of the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods. It would be beneficial for the Human Clan cultivators to be able to be Investiture of the Gods on the Investiture of the Gods."
"Foolish." Yuanshi looked coldly at Tongtian.
"Hmph! Yuanshi, are you questioning your teacher's decision?! Do you think your teacher has some kind of conspiracy?"
"Ahem, Tongtian, Yuanshi, you two should calm down. During this Great Tribulation, I feel it's best not to hurt your feelings, lest you be turned by someone with ulterior motives, causing the situation to spiral out of control," Xiao Tian reminded him.
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?" Yuanshi frowned.
Tongtian said sternly, "Fellow Daoist, are you referring to that Zhunti?"
"Indeed," Xiao Tian Xiao. " Zhunti a man of action. It must be said that he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the development of the West. As a sect leader, he is very responsible. Moreover, for a long time, he has been causing trouble in the East, taking things away from time to time. If I were Zhunti, at this critical juncture, I would definitely bring together a powerful ally to assist a Human Clan nation in resisting the Great Shang."
"Fellow Daoist, you mean Junior Brother Tongtian." Laozi's eyes opened and closed, the cycle of the universe Samsara illusion and destruction, a glint of light flashing within.
Tongtian frowned and said, " Yuanshi assisted the Great Shang. Within the Great Shang, are there also members of my Jiejiao?"
"That being said, Tongtian, if your relationship with Yuanshi continues to deteriorate, and you are further misled by Zhunti, the rift between your ideologies will widen. Once you, Tongtian, get on Zhunti's black chariot, the scene of ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage will no longer exist," Xiao Tian analyzed.
Yuanshi glanced at Tongtian and said calmly, "They only take in creatures born from moisture and eggs, with fur, scales, and soft armor, who have no rules or discipline."
" Yuanshi, I know you're jealous! Your Twelve Golden Immortals aren't that impressive! If you really brought them out, they might not even be able to defeat a few of my disciples. My eldest disciple, Duobao, is more than capable of holding his own against several of your Twelve Golden Immortals." Heavenly Eye were icy.
"Enough! What are you arguing about at this critical juncture! Ideology is one thing, but we are all descendants of Pangu. Do we really want to lose our family and property in this Great Tribulation?!" Xiao Tian's face darkened, and he said with great distress.
"Fellow Daoist, isn't that a bit too harsh?" Yuanshi asked.
"Serious? Not serious at all!" Xiao Tian sneered, " The Great Tribulation is terrifying, but think about the War of the Witches and Demons, how did Mount Buzhou collapse?"
The Three Pure Ones remained silent. They knew how stable Mount Buzhou was, and they had long been aware of the trickery involved.
"As the true successors of Pangu, we should be on the same side," Laozi declared.
Yuanshi, Tongtian: "Good."
Xiao Tian chuckled and said, "Next, let's pay Zhunti attention Jieyin the situation with Zhunti and Jieyin. Although our teacher said that Zhunti a country in conquering the Great Shang, it's all for the sake of the Investiture of the Gods. So, we need everyone's cooperation in the following scenes."
Great Void, a mysterious place, where the Deva Path Dao completely grasped the conversation between the Three Pure Ones and Xiao Tian.
"Interesting. This will put considerable pressure on those two lads in the West, disrupting the balance. The Heavenly Court must be rebuilt, and the divine positions on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods cannot be filled by mediocre individuals. If you don't want your disciples to face calamity, that's not up to you!"
In the Purple Cloud Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was troubled. During this period, he felt that his progress in cultivation had slowed down.
Hongjun was somewhat unwilling; he didn't want to remain a tool of the Deva Path forever.
"I shouldn't have Merging One's Body with the Dao in the first place! Although I became more powerful and could mobilize the power of the Deva Path, I was restrained at every turn."
"Since we are to break away from the Deva Path, then the power of the Deva Path must be weakened."
Hongjun felt as if he had discovered a bright path.
" The Investiture of the Gods must be filled with shoddy work!"
Hongjun finally understood! Looking back on the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beast, the War of Dragons and Phoenixes, the War of Dao and Demons, War of the Witches and Demons, the vast Primordial World has undergone many Great Tribulation of change, and the shadows of many Chaos Innate Gods and Demons have been constantly eliminated.
Hongjun was alarmed.
Hongjun stopped thinking about it, lest the Deva Path notice.
"If that's the case, then let's use my hidden line of communication! After countless eons of planning, this one piece has finally come in handy!"
Golden Turtle Island, Biyou Palace.
Zhunti made a quiet visit.
" Deva Path, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity is not to be underestimated. I have heard that your grudges with Yuanshi have deepened, and your disciples often fight each other. Recently, things have gone too far. Moreover, Yuanshi does not restrain his disciples at all, and he shows you no brotherly affection whatsoever. Fellow Daoist, let us join forces!"
" The Three Pure Ones are no longer one family."
Tongtian stared Zhunti, and said coldly and authoritatively, " Zhunti, you've even dared to use your divisive tactics on me?"
Zhunti smiled and said, " Deva Path, this is not an attempt to sow discord, but a fact. Fellow Daoist, ten thousand immortals have come to pay homage, and the fortune of the Jiejiao is at its peak. This Great Tribulation is no small matter, and even if we are Sage, we cannot remain uninvolved."
" Zhunti, what you say makes sense, but what kind of incentives should you offer to make me form an alliance with you?"
Zhunti smiled even more broadly and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have come with the utmost sincerity. Look what this is."
A Zhunti's hand, its dragon and phoenix essence surging and causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the God-Smiting Whip, bestowed upon me privately by the Dao Ancestor for the purpose of bestowing titles upon gods on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods. Only those with the right destiny can wield this God-Smiting Whip. I hereby give this God-Smiting Whip to you, Fellow Daoist."
In the capital city of Zhaoge, Di Xin, the incarnation of Xiao Tian, summoned two obscure civil officials.
"Your subject Fei Zhong ( You Hun ) pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
Two middle-aged men, dressed impeccably, were trembling.
Having long heard of King Zhou Di Xin Kamui, sweeping away the Southern Barbarians barbarians, demons, sorcerers, Moryo, and pacifying the northern monsters and evil spirits, Fei Zhong You Hun by Di Xin aura that they almost wet their pants.
Do you know why I summoned you?
Fei Zhong and You Hun were terrified and hurriedly shook their heads like rattles, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive us!"
"Do you know what crime you have committed!" Di Xin secretly rejoiced, but outwardly maintained an imposing presence despite his lack of anger.
Fei Zhong and You Hun turned ashen-faced and hurriedly confessed their crimes of the past few days, such as using their power to force the widow of South Street to remarry and enter the family, threatening the beautiful women of West Street to come to the mansion for tea, beauty treatments and hair washing, and forcibly seizing the property of some shops.
"Hmph! Fei Zhong, You Hun!"
"Guards! Drag him out and behead him first! Then tear him apart by five horses!"
Fei Zhong and You Hun stared in disbelief, their eyes dimming.
The guards outside the palace entered and quickly took the two treacherous officials away!
Xiao Tian had long remembered Fei Zhong and You Hun, after all, in the original course of the world's development, King Zhou Di Xin was intoxicated by the various slanders and tricks of Fei Zhong and You Hun, which ultimately led to the downfall of the Shang Dynasty.
If the Sage Zhunti ignited the flames of evil in Di Xin, then Fei Zhong and You Hun were the helpful assistants who frantically supplied natural gas and fuel.
In Da Bai, while the people were still busy, Fei Zhong and You Hun were being held at the execution ground, attracting many onlookers to join in the excitement.
"Aren't those two despicable petty officials, Fei Zhong and You Hun, the two corrupt officials?"
"Looks like he's offended some powerful figure and is going to be executed! That's so satisfying. My poor, beautiful neighbor girl, barely eighteen years old, ruined by these two, ending up drinking rat poison and dying a tragic death."
"The Zhang family, the wealthy family on South Street, is said to have been ruined. The mother and her two daughters were all harmed, and the wealthy Zhang himself was imprisoned on trumped-up charges. Most of his property was confiscated and ended up in their own pockets!"
The people chimed in, each offering their own version of events, their complaints and criticisms growing louder.
The executioner arrived.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, the five dragon-scaled steeds are ready!"
The executioner nodded coldly and tossed down the execution warrant.
"Execute him immediately! Then tear him apart with five horses!"
The people were stunned, and many women turned their heads away!
