While Xiao Tian was calculating the situation of the Three Pure Ones, he suddenly sensed a wisp of heavenly secret that had vanished.
The Great Dao has three thousand paths, the Heavenly Evolution has fifty, of which forty-nine are obtained, and one is lost.
This is the variable.
"Tsk tsk. Hongjun, so you're even scheming against me to escape the control of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, aren't you?"
Xiao Tian pretended not to notice and allowed the variables created by Hongjun to enter the Human Clan Holy City.
As time passed, since the appearance of the sages, the situation between the Western Zhou and the Great Shang dynasties became clear. The Western Zhou's momentum waned, and it repeatedly refused to fight and retreated. Ji Fa, the ruler of the Western Zhou, was almost bald.
However, the Three Pure Ones are now infighting, with frequent clashes between the disciples of the Jiejiao and the Chan Sect. Zhunti's spies planted within the Jiejiao and the Chan Sect have also begun to make moves.
The Great Shang was in disarray, and its offensive to dismantle and annihilate the Western Zhou was repeatedly delayed.
King Zhou realized the problem on his side and summoned the leaders of the Jiejiao and the Chan Sect together.
"Hmph!" Guangchengzi entered the hall, facing Daoist Duobao's gaze without the slightest fear, and returned the gaze with his own.
Recently, with the help of his master, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, Guangchengzi, having consumed the Divine Power-level Nine Revolutions Fortune Immortal Pill, entered the Quasi-Sage realm, brimming with confidence.
The leaders of the Jiejiao Chan Sect stood facing each other, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually reached a tense point, as if a single piece of firewood could ignite a fire.
Xiao Tian's incarnation, King Zhou Di Xin, made the two powerful figures wait in the hall for a long time. They only arrived after enjoying a delicious and exquisite lunch and taking a ten-minute walk in the sun.
Upon entering the hall, King Zhou immediately smelled the gunpowder.
"Gentlemen, I'm in a bit of a predicament."
Guangchengzi frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, what is troubling you?"
King Zhou sat on the throne and sighed, "A month ago, the Western Zhou dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Our army repeatedly besieged and attacked it, and many of Western Zhou generals and powerful figures fled to join our Great Shang. I heard that Ji Fa vomited blood many times in his tent, and his hair was almost gone... But why can't we destroy it?"
Guangchengzi fell silent.
"Gentlemen," King Zhou Jiejiao, glancing at the powerful figures from both the Jie Chan Sect, grinning to reveal two rows of snow-white teeth, uttering words that left both sides dumbfounded.
"You may all return. The Great Shang no longer needs you. I will personally lead the troops into battle."
Guangchengzi, Daoist Duobao, Taiyi Zhenren, Zhao Gongming, and others' expressions changed drastically.
"Your Majesty, how can this be allowed!"
"Why not?" King Zhou sneered, "I don't know what's causing your internal strife Chan Sect Jiejiao, but the final offensive on the battlefield has been delayed again and again. This isn't your two sects' arena for fighting; this is the battlefield of my Great Shang!"
"Your Majesty, it is the Jiejiao who are reckless and rude, lacking manners. Why not let Jiejiao go back? Our Chan Sect can help Your Majesty completely destroy the Western Zhou," said Guangchengzi.
Snap!
Daoist Duobao slammed his fist on the table and stood up, staring at Guangchengzi with a cold laugh, "Hypocrites of the Chan Sect, what are you shouting about! Without your sarcastic remarks, would my Jiejiao disciples have any conflicts with you? It takes two to tango. Your Chan Sect should step aside; our Jiejiao is enough here."
"Ahem, why don't you two just start fighting? This table is innocent; it's not expensive, only about 80,000 copper coins."
Daoist Duobao and Guangchengzi were taken aback and couldn't help but look at King Zhou.
"What? You guys fight all you want, but go somewhere far away and take your people with you. Don't interfere with me leading my troops into battle."
Guangchengzi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, our Chan Sect has helped quite a few people in the Great Shang. We can't let the ignorance, recklessness, arrogance, and barbarity of the Jiejiao cause our Chan Sect to make no contribution."
"Stop talking nonsense! Guangchengzi, what rubbish are you spouting?! Our Jiejiao has contributed little? You bunch of hypocrites, scoundrels! Trash! Useless! If you have the guts, go out and fight!"
" Duobao! If you keep cursing me! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Guangchengzi's eyes flashed fiercely.
"Fight! Let's fight!" King Zhou clapped his hands.
"Go! If I don't beat you so badly that Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi wouldn't recognize you, I'm not Duobao!"
Daoist Duobao, his anger rising, turned and walked away.
"You think I'm afraid of you?!"
In an instant, all the powerful figures from both the Chan Sect and the Jiejiao stood up.
"Go, all of you, get out of here!" King Zhou waved his hand to shoo people away.
The piece of firewood that King Zhou played Jieyin the anger of the disciples of the Jiejiao Chan Sect.
Therefore, King Zhou quickly ordered Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong to gather troops and lead them directly to launch a surprise attack on Western Zhou.
Meanwhile, Lingzhuzi, who had been wandering around various places, was ordered to return to the Empress Wa Palace. He quickly brought some things and rushed into King Zhou's army.
"Brother King Zhou, I have something good for you!"
When King Zhou saw that it was the little girl Lingzhuzi had arrived, he signaled for the army to continue marching, and he dismounted from his dragon-scale horse and went to a certain place with Lingzhuzi.
What's inside this ring? A doll?
"Brother King Zhou, these are Nüwa. They were made by Sister Nuwa. When we reach the battlefield against the Western Zhou, summon all these figurines at the forefront. Just infuse them with a little magic to awaken them, and they will be ready to fight."
"Impressive! It seems to be at the level of Golden Immortal, and there's so much of it!" King Zhou exclaimed inwardly, "This is truly terrifying; it's no wonder it's the work of Sage."
Rumble!
Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky behind them, and bursts of divine light shot out from time to time, piercing the earth below, cracking mountains, and breaking rivers.
"Brother King Zhou, over there, there are immortals fighting!" Lingzhuzi's beautiful eyes lit up, and her spirit of trying to mediate the fight was instantly Awakening.
" Lingzhuzi, don't go there. That's where the Jiejiao and the Chan Sect fight amongst themselves."
At that moment, a flash of light appeared in the sky.
" Lingzhuzi, quick! Let's go break up this fight!"
King Zhou almost uttered a vulgar word, how did this brat Xiao Li appear so timely?
Goodbye, Brother King Zhou.
King Zhou sighed, speechless.
"Forget it, they are the treasures of the two Sage. Even if they suffer a disaster, they will be rescued. Let's deal with Western Zhou first!"
Inside the Western Zhou camp.
"My lord! Good news has arrived!"
" Tu Xingsun, please speak frankly!" Ji Fa looked haggard, but upon hearing the words "good news," he immediately perked up.
"My lord, the Jiejiao of the Jie Sect Chan Sect, who assist the Great Shang, have inexplicably started a great battle. Currently, only King Zhou, Grand Preceptor Wen, and a few other generals have arrived with their troops."
Upon hearing this, Ji Fa's expression immediately became dejected again.
"This King Zhou Kamui powerful and brave; is there anyone among us who can rival him?"
"Yes." A calm voice, dignified yet respectful, rang out from outside the door.
"Who?!"
Several Daoist priests entered the tent.
Tu Xingsun felt a chill run down his spine; seeing these people, he knew a great danger was brewing.
"My lord, these men are very strong!"
"And who are you?" Ji Fa frowned, sizing up the newcomers.
" Ji Fa, the Great Shang Dynasty is nearing its end. Without the help of the Jie Jiejiao and the Chan Sect, I have come to offer my assistance. Although King Zhou is brave and powerful, he is not invincible."
Upon hearing this, Ji Fa sensed the confidence in the man's words and felt as if he had drunk sweet nectar, his mind and spirits refreshed, and all traces of his haggard and listless state vanished.
The Western Zhou's truce sign was removed, and the scouts watched as the Great Shang army pursued them. Suddenly, they saw troops assembling within the camp, charging out in waves of formation.
"Is this a fight to the death?" The scouts were starting to panic.
"Traitors of the Western Zhou! Surrender now! I may spare your lives!"
A thunderous sound suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Hmph! Has the Great Shang lost its talent?! Even the emperor himself has to take the stage!"
"You nobody, I've decided that your surrender is useless! You are exiled!" King Zhou's gaze was icy as he locked onto the man.
Tu Xingsun nearly fainted.
"Sir, please make your move."
"No rush," the Daoist priest beside him said calmly.
Soon, drums sounded, and soldiers from both sides charged forward.
Something's not right.
The Daoist priest beside him changed his expression and discovered that there were many palm-sized dolls in the Great Shang army. They had bright eyes, were extremely fast, could manipulate the five elements, and possessed supernatural abilities.
" Cihang, go."
"Good."
Cihang Daoren transformed into a beam of light and vanished, arriving at the center of the battlefield in the blink of an eye. The innate spiritual treasure, the Jade Purification Bottle, appeared in his hand, dripping out three drops of jade dew. Cihang Daoren collected the jade dew and, with a flick of his finger, transformed it into ten thousand drops, locking onto those agile and swift figurines that possessed supernatural abilities.
At the same time, in the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's brow twitched, and he couldn't help but make calculations, his face immediately turning blank.
On the battlefield, Daoist Cihang made a move, and ten thousand figurines at the early stage of Golden Immortal level were instantly annihilated.
"Hmph! Cihang Daoist of the Chan Sect! Why are you helping the Western Zhou!" King Zhou roared, and in an instant, he appeared in front of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Cihang Daoist.
" King Zhou, stop!"
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and in the void, an ancient and majestic blue candle, exuding Chaos aura, withstood the attack of King Zhou Quasi-Sage level.
" Spirit Coffin Lamp!"
Grand Preceptor Wen's expression changed drastically. He had heard that the Spirit Coffin Lamp was the magic weapon of Daoist Randeng, the vice leader of the Chan Sect! How could it be here!
Having escaped death, Daoist Cihang breathed a sigh of relief, only now realizing the immense difference between Quasi-Sage and Great Luo Golden Immortal.
He had thought that even though King Zhou was Quasi-Sage, he could still escape if he was harmed. But just now, the chilling killing God-Slaying Spear, covered him, as if an invisible hand had grabbed his skull and was strangling his neck.
Fortunately, the Spirit Coffin Lamp of the Daoist Randeng Deng appeared in time.
The Spirit Coffin Lamp is one of the four great spiritual lamps in the world, and it is also the Human Lamp among the three lamps of heaven, earth and man. The flame of the lamp is the Nether Ghost Fire, which can break all laws and contains boundless power. It can also illuminate the scene before the death of a living being.
"Hmph! Interesting! But can you even save him?"
King Zhou sneered.
The innate killing treasure, the God-Slaying Spear, emitted a burst of black light, and a ferocious Black Dragon dragon, pure in killing intent and malevolent energy, broke through the power of the Human Lamp Spirit Coffin Lamp.
Pfft!
Daoist Cihang's three flowers were destroyed, and his body was pierced.
"Go to the Investiture of the Gods, you traitor!"
Meanwhile, after Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Sect Leader Tongtian realized that their disciples were fighting, Lingzhuzi and Xiao Li intervened, manifesting their holy forms to stop the battle.
In an instant, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi sensed that Cihang Daoren had been added to the Investiture of the Gods of the Daoist Cihang and realized that Randeng had betrayed the Chan Sect.
"You bastard!"
Guangchengzi thought his master was scolding him, and he trembled with fear. He quickly cried out, "Master, please forgive me! It's just that the people of the Jiejiao are so uncivilized and lack martial ethics when they disagree with each other."
"Bullshit!" Daoist Duobao's eyes gleamed with malice.
"Go back to the Jade Void Palace!" Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi was in a bad mood.
Hongyun, who was resting far away at the temple, was dumbfounded.
The Investiture of the Gods of gods is complete!
"This! How is this possible!" Hongyun's mouth gaped open, wide enough to swallow two braised chickens.
