Chan Sect Is Too Dirty; It's Time to Sweep Out the Trash
The anger that Yuanshi had been suppressing was now starting to fester within him.
Even his complexion turned somewhat unpleasant.
The Taishang could not possibly know that he had already obtained the knowledge from that Great Dao Diary Scroll.
I learned many secrets.
The Two Sages of the West instigated the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect to rebel, and made Guangchengzi, Daoist Qingxu, Taiyi, and Yu Ding pawns of the West!
It not only undermined the power of the Chan Sect, but also affected Yuanshi's state of mind.
This already displeased Yuanshi.
After all, they were designed as pawns by the Two Sages of the West.
What's the difference between that and being a traitor?
Especially Guangchengzi.
That was the foremost disciple of the Chan Sect.
Yuanshi took good care of him and taught him.
Find him the most precious treasure, seek out opportunities, and build a magnificent future.
They hoped he could shoulder the responsibility of the Chan Sect.
He commanded the remaining eleven Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect.
Unfortunately, Guangchengzi, who had been nurtured by Yuanshi, turned around and wanted to join the Two Sages of the West!
This is what Yuanshi finds most resentful.
If it weren't for Guangchengzi, perhaps Yuanshi wouldn't have been so angry.
As for Qingxu, Yu Ding, and the others, they were far less important than Guangchengzi.
Even so, Yuanshi attached great importance to it.
If it is revealed that the Chan Sect has been planted by the West as a pawn...
The reputation of the Chan Sect will inevitably be greatly affected.
Even one's luck will be weakened.
It has only served to embolden Western Teachings!
This is also the medium through Yuanshi understood why Tongtian was angry.
Now, the Taishang has come with a plan, in order to eliminate the threat posed by Tongtian.
But why would the Taishang seek cooperation with the Two Sages of the West?
These two shameless scoundrels have led the Chan Sect astray into injustice.
How could Yuanshi possibly cooperate with such a person again!?
In a short period of time, countless thoughts flashed through Yuanshi's mind.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
However, Yuanshi was also quite shrewd.
He did not reveal his expression or emotions.
Now that the Taishang's intentions have been understood...
Then naturally, we cannot tell the Taishang Lord about what the Chan Sect has been experiencing these days.
What if the Taishang leaks the news, or uses these matters as leverage?
For Yuanshi, the gains would outweigh the losses.
Although he now addresses the Taishang as Elder Brother.
But Yuanshi understood.
Just as Tongtian said that day.
Their friendship as the Three Pure Ones vanished when they separated.
Now, Taishang is able to get along well with Yuanshi.
Isn't it because the Investiture of the Gods is in his hands?
Moreover, Tongtian did not possess a supreme treasure capable of suppressing the destiny of the Interception Sect.
With careful consideration, one can deduce that Tongtian was in a weak position during this Investiture of the Gods Calamity.
The self-serving Taishang was meticulous and cunning, and naturally only did things that were profitable.
Even when they came here to find him, calling him "Second Brother" this and "Second Brother" that, they still had a purpose in mind.
But why did the Taishang do this?
Thinking about this...
Yuanshi suppressed his anger, glanced at Taishang without batting an eye, and feigned concern.
"But... wouldn't that be tantamount to joining forces with the Two Sages of the West to attack the Interception Sect?"
"The Investiture of the Gods hasn't fully erupted yet, and the Investiture of the Gods hasn't been used. I'm afraid the Dao Ancestor will make his move then, right?"
Upon hearing Yuanshi's words, Taishang had no idea what Yuanshi was thinking.
His expression turned somewhat serious.
With a slight flick of his whisk.
A mysterious and profound aura was then released by Taishang.
The next moment.
A golden barrier appeared.
Above the barrier, golden and black-and-white fish darted back and forth.
It's clearly just a way to conceal one's presence.
Upon seeing this, Yuanshi was taken aback and asked suspiciously.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
The Taishang's expression turned grave as he said, "Second Brother, this is a barrier that conceals the secrets of Heaven."
"What my elder brother is about to say is extremely important; try to avoid letting your presence be detected."
"The Investiture of the Gods is an artifact used to restrain the gods and eliminate the karmic consequences of great calamities. Every time a great calamity begins, it can appoint 365 righteous gods, 2,000 deputy gods, and 84,000 evil Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to eliminate karmic forces in the world."
"The fact that the Dao Ancestor gave this item to you means that he is entrusting you with the responsibility, which is tantamount to favoring you."
"Since the Investiture of the Gods is in your hands, it's natural that you can't let your own people from the Chan Sect be on the list. And Interception Sect has a large number of members, claiming to be the place where ten thousand immortals pay homage, it's natural that you should let them be on the list."
"Second brother should understand this, right?"
Seeing that Yuanshi nodded slightly, Taishang continued.
"We can't be blamed for being selfish. The world is cold and Investiture of the Gods Calamity is the greatest calamity to date. Even the Dao Ancestor made a ruthless decision."
"For the Dao Ancestor, who wins or loses is not important; what matters is that the names of the righteous gods on the Investiture of the Gods must be filled."
"Only by completing the task assigned by the Dao Ancestor can one eliminate the eons of karma and karmic burdens."
He heard the secret that the Taishang had spoken of.
Yuanshi's eyes suddenly trembled.
Even the anger that had just arisen in his heart was somewhat dispelled by the surprise.
"The Dao Ancestor only told us to take on the task of the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods and told us how many righteous gods were needed; he didn't say anything else."
"I never imagined there was such a hidden story behind this?"
The Taishang sighed, resigned to his fate.
"So the situation is very serious."
"We have no choice but to invite the Two Sages of the West! Only in this way can we ensure that we can sleep soundly without worry."
"You must understand that the original intention of the Investiture of the Gods was to recruit people for the Heavenly Court, and Haotian was the Dao Ancestor's attendant."
"At that time, the one who will nominally rule the Heavenly Court will be Haotian, but as for who will actually be in charge, I won't go into details, brother."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi was immediately startled.
The Taishang did not say who that person was.
The Yuanshi is very clear.
Haotian was the Dao Ancestor's attendant!
Isn't the entire Heavenly Court actually controlled by the Dao Ancestor?
What if it can't be filled?
Yuanshi's expression kept changing, clearly affected by what Taishang had said.
The Taishang stroked his beard and Earth Dao meaningfully.
"If it's not filled, then we'll have to be on the Investiture of the Gods."
"After all, to the Dao Ancestor, everyone is the same."
Yuanshi: "..."
He took a deep breath and solemnly addressed the Taishang.
"That's why my elder brother was so anxious to overcome the Investiture of the Gods Calamity."
"They're even willing to cooperate with those two shameless scoundrels from the West?"
Upon hearing Yuanshi's words, Taishang's lips curled into a bitter smile, and he said helplessly.
"What can we do then?"
"My elder brother is well-versed in profound principles, and can easily predict the secrets of heaven. Moreover, he is protected by Taiji Diagram."
"Even so... we still couldn't foresee the ins and outs of the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity."
"But I have a vague, ominous feeling that this is bad for both of us."
"Therefore, the only solution is to have Tongtian's Jie Sect Disciple from the Jie Sect listed, since the Interception Sect has many members."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi's eyes flickered, and a hint of struggle flashed deep within them.
The matters spoken of by the Taishang are extremely secretive.
It seems this is the only way.
It can counter the Tongtian -Reaching Immortal Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation.
But they can only unite with the Two Sages of the West!
Should we really team up with those two bastards?
They are going to implicate the Chan Sect in its unrighteousness!
Just as Yuanshi was thinking this...
Suddenly.
A strange sensation came from his primordial spirit.
A thought struck me.
Suddenly I looked up and gazed into the distance!
The conflicted look in his eyes vanished instantly.
His gaze then became incredibly complex.
There was anger, confusion, suspicion, and surprise!
"Taiyi and Yu Ding really are Zhunti..."
"The three of them actually got together..."
"As expected, the Great Dao Diary Scroll was right once again."
They seemed to have sensed something amiss with Yuanshi.
Taishang looked at Yuanshi with some suspicion.
He asked in surprise.
"Second brother, what's wrong?"
Yuanshi took a deep breath, suppressing his agitated emotions.
But this time, he found that he couldn't suppress it no matter what he did.
"Brother, allow me to sweep up the dust and trash in the cult first."
"The Chan Sect is filthy; some of its garbage is better off gone."
