Jieyin: Send the Interception Sect Disciples to the Investiture of the Gods

Thirty-Three Heavens of heaven.

Purple Cloud Palace.

Beneath the mysterious and enigmatic Daoist runes.

A magnificent palace sits within it.

Inside the palace.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat cross-legged on a futon.

Before him, the Two Sages of the West knelt somewhat awkwardly opposite Hongjun.

At this moment, he lowered his head, as if he had been reprimanded.

He knelt there dumbfounded, not daring to breathe or say a word.

"Two Sages of the West, remember this: from now until the end of the Investiture of the Gods, you must not wage war against Sage!"

"I understand that I have failed the West and that you lack talent."

"But such reckless behavior must never happen again."

"If I find out again, it won't be as simple as just being locked up."

Hearing Hongjun's instructions.

The Two Sages of the West nodded in agreement and said...

"I will obey the holy decree!"

"Thank Dao Ancestor, for your forgiveness!"

"We will never do it again!"

Seeing their sincere demeanor...

Hongjun waved his hand, gave them a meaningful look, and said calmly.

"Alright."

"I have said everything that needs to be said."

"You must remember this well! Be extremely careful in your actions, lest you be caught red-handed again."

Let's go!

Hongjun finished speaking.

The Two Sages of the West only felt a flash of white light disappear before their eyes.

The next moment.

The Two Sages of the West then vanished from the spot.

Looking at the Purple Cloud Palace, which had become quiet again.

A meaningful look flashed in Hongjun's eyes.

"What I just said has lured the Two Sages of the West back."

"The deviated plan must be continued."

"If the Two Sages of the West aren't fools, they will surely understand the meaning behind my words."

"After all, after the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, Heaven, Earth, and Man must be under my control!"

Hongjun murmured to himself.

A chilling killing intent flashed in his gloomy eyes.

Just then...

Hongjun's primordial spirit suddenly trembled strangely.

Um?

Hongjun was slightly startled.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time...

Ever since he reached the peak of the Primordial World.

There was no longer any aura that could affect his primordial spirit.

At this moment, his primordial spirit is showing such obvious unusual activity?!

Hongjun's expression gradually became serious.

His divine consciousness surged forth.

They immediately began investigating how this unusual movement had occurred!

The next moment.

A look of surprise suddenly flashed in Hongjun's eyes.

'Why did Tongtian suddenly disappear?'

It's as if... we've left the Primordial World?!

'His presence has completely vanished from the Heavenly Dao!'

'How could such a bizarre thing happen? I have been in charge of the Heavenly Dao for many years, and I have never encountered such a strange occurrence!'

Hongjun couldn't help but feel astonished.

Tongtian can never disappear.

In other words...

Tongtian concealed his aura through some means or formation!

'No, we must find Tongtian!'

Hongjun's mind stirred.

A terrifying divine power was released from his body!

It instantly filled the heavens!

The Chan Sect at Kunlun, the Interception Sect at Jin'ao Island, and the Great Shang Dynasty of the Human Clan.

The frigid land of the North Sea, the Western Paradise World, the Blood Sea Minghe, the Six Paths of Underworld...

Countless places in the Primordial World were permeated and shrouded by the power of Hongjun's Power of the Heavenly Dao.

They were searching for the location of the Tongtian.

Pity.

Hongjun returned empty-handed, even though he had exhausted the power of the Heavenly Dao.

They also failed to discover any information about Tongtian!

'Where did they go?!'

Hongjun frowned, feeling a growing lack of confidence.

He likes to be in control of everything and cannot accept any living being beyond his control.

This time, Tongtian had completely disappeared, and even he could not detect him.

This greatly displeased Hongjun!

Gu Bo's originally calm face gradually became somewhat ferocious.

"Could it be that, just because of the matter of Tongtian, I must personally go to the Primordial World to find Tongtian?!"

"Wouldn't this be going too far..."

"Wait a little longer! If Tongtian doesn't come out soon, I'll have to intervene personally..."

"The Investiture of the Gods Calamity itself required four Sages."

"Without Tongtian, how can we survive the great calamity?"

Just as Hongjun was thinking this...

In the Chaos Space billions of miles away from the Purple Cloud Palace.

Two beams of light flashed.

Then the figures of Jieyin and Zhunti appeared.

The two stopped and calmed down for a long time.

I just finished dissipating the power from my body.

"Call!"

Zhunti took a deep breath, looked around, and was first stunned by the white surroundings, then overjoyed!

"Senior brother, we're out! Finally, we don't have to be confined to the Purple Cloud Palace to reflect on our mistakes anymore!"

The Jieyin also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I originally thought it would be a long time before we got out, but I didn't expect the Dao Ancestor to release us so quickly!"

"It seems the two of us aren't entirely without value after all!"

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti paused slightly, looked at Jieyin suspiciously, and said strangely.

"Hmm? To take advantage of?"

"Senior brother, what do you mean by that?"

Jieyin's eyes flickered, and his tone was quite meaningful.

"Junior brother, you've always been perceptive. Didn't you glean anything from the Dao Ancestor's words?"

Zhunti thought carefully, then shook his head and said.

"I wasn't really listening carefully just now... I was only thinking about how to leave Purple Cloud Palace..."

Seeing that Zhunti really didn't know, Jieyin sighed helplessly and explained.

"Junior brother, the Dao Ancestor is giving us guidance!"

"The Dao Ancestor just reprimanded us for a long time and gave us so many instructions, but he didn't forbid us from traveling!"

"This is extremely crucial! Both Yuanshi and Tongtian have been confined by the Dao Ancestor!"

"Whether we can roam freely in the Primordial World or not, the Dao Ancestor didn't explicitly say!"

"What I'm saying is, we have no restrictions!"

"If I can't show myself, the Dao Ancestor will definitely forbid it!"

Upon hearing the words of Jieyin, Zhunti's eyes widened in surprise.

He carefully recalled what the Dao Ancestor had just said and was immediately taken aback.

"That's true!"

"... Why is the Dao Ancestor acting this way!? The East and West are inherently at odds, and the Dao Ancestor is the Dao Ancestor of the Profound Gate, so why is he favoring us!"

"It seems we haven't done anything wrong, and the fact that we've managed to turn Mystic Gate disciples against us has been discovered by the Dao Ancestor..."

In response to Zhunti's question, Jieyin's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Junior brother, you're usually so quick-witted, how come you forgot the most crucial factor at this moment...?"

"When the Dao Ancestor attained sainthood, he destroyed Mount Sumeru, the Western Ancestral Vein, and thus incurred karmic debts in the West."

"He originally didn't want us to become saints, but unfortunately, that fool Hong Yun gave up the sainthood, which is tantamount to plotting against the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao."

Therefore, Hong Yun died and his cultivation vanished.

"Now that we have become Sage, we have gained considerable influence. The West is impoverished and lacks talent, which is largely due to the Dao Ancestor."

"Therefore, in order to make up for the debts owed back then, the Dao Ancestor certainly cannot prevent us from enjoying freedom in the Primordial World!"

"Otherwise, how can we attract and retain talent!"

"After all, talented people went to the West, and the West developed. In this way, the Dao Ancestor made up for his mistakes back then."

Hearing the explanation from the Jieyin.

Zhunti was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, "So, what the Dao Ancestor meant was that we can confidently accept disciples, as long as we don't confront the Sage directly!"

Jieyin shook his head, then nodded, and said, "That makes sense, but he also warned us not to repeat what happened before, and to be careful in our actions!"

"If Yuanshi and Tongtian catch us red-handed again, even the Dao Ancestor won't help us anymore!"

Zhunti was immediately startled. "No wonder the Dao Ancestor told us to be careful earlier, so that's why!"

"I guess he wants us to take this opportunity to gain some benefits for the West!"

As he spoke, Zhunti suddenly thought of a crucial factor and asked Jieyin about it.

"But... the Investiture of the Gods Calamity has already begun, where should we begin?!"

A thoughtful look flashed in Jieyin's eyes.

"In that case, let's start with something small."

"While we were at the Purple Cloud Palace, I had already decided on a place to stay."

The Zhunti, "Where?"

Jieyin replied, "Since the Investiture of the Gods takes place in the mortal realm, the mortal realm will be thrown into chaos. Naturally, we must go to the mortal realm!"

"The more chaotic the place, the more chaotic the opportunities of Heavenly Dao, and the more chances there will be!"

"We can then take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits from the Investiture of the Gods Calamity!"

"Taking this opportunity to recruit disciples from the East can be considered a small contribution to the West!"

"Besides..."

Jieyin he spoke, a sinister killing intent flashed in his eyes!

Deep within his eyes, there was a boundless hatred!

"The Interception Sect and the Tongtian will choose one side among the human realm!"

"Tongtian went too far, accusing us before the Dao Ancestor!"

"We must naturally thwart him! We must sabotage any force chosen by the Interception Sect!"

"Let's drag down the power and fortune they've supported to the extreme, causing all the beings of the Interception Sect to perish in this great calamity!"

Only then can I quell the hatred in my heart!

Seeing the Jieyin's furious and embarrassed expression.

Zhunti's eyes flickered, and then an extreme anger burst forth from them!

Even his body was trembling slightly!

"My Six Roots Pure Bamboo and Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree are still with Tongtian!"

"I have an irreconcilable hatred for Tongtian!!"

"Senior brother, since that's the case, let's hurry to the mortal realm and see which side the Interception Sect is on!"

"Then they will begin to destroy their fortune!"
