Jiang Ziya Wields the Apricot Yellow Banner, Wen Zhong Enters Great Shang
The land of the North Sea.
It was bitterly cold and shrouded in darkness year-round.
I wonder how many years of darkness will pass.
Only a very few times can one see daylight.
It was called a forbidden land by many creatures in the Primordial World.
That night.
The eerie moonlight shrouded the gloomy, dark icy sea.
The sea was filled with surging waves carrying chunks of broken ice.
The frigid ocean, splashing out frozen, melting spray.
It looked like countless dragons writhing and fighting!
A towering wave was unleashed!
A thunderous sound echoed across the vast North Sea.
It seemed eerie and lonely!
Boom!!
Boom!!
And at this moment.
Two eerie figures suddenly appeared on the desolate sea.
One big and one small.
One beast and one human.
The old man appeared quite frail, carrying a long whip on his back, a bag on his chest, and holding an earthen-yellow flag in his hand.
The flag was unassuming, but the surrounding surging ice waves, the biting cold air, and the eerie air currents that had been deserted for countless years made it impossible for anyone to pass by.
They couldn't even get close to his body!
This is not because he is particularly powerful!
It was because of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner in his hand!
Don't be fooled by its faint yellow glow.
It seems to have no power whatsoever.
In reality, its power is extremely strong.
At this moment, he was riding on that rather imposing demonic beast.
The demonic beast exuded an aura of wild dominance.
Its terrifying power shook the North Sea.
With enormous feet, they walked forward across the icy sea.
With each step taken, ripples appeared on the sea, creating a scene of unparalleled mystery.
The human and the beast are none other than...
It was Jiang Ziya and the Sibuxiang, who came from the land of the Chan Sect all the way to the North Sea!
"Jiang Ziya, now that you have obtained the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, you should study and utilize it properly."
"Master has already ordered that person to remove the restrictions on it. You only need to probe it with your divine sense to use it."
"This item is Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, of extremely high quality. I need not elaborate on its effects, shall I?"
"To hand it over to you would be a waste of its precious resources; you mustn't squander its power!"
They heard the slightly hoarse voice of the Sibuxiang.
A look of wild joy flashed across Jiang Ziya's eyes!
Looking down at the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner in his hand, his eyes gleamed with excitement.
This was the first time he had ever been so close to Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Moreover, this item is a unique magical artifact possessed only by the Sage Yuanshi!
It is one of the Innate Five Directions Banners, located in the central position.
While its attack power is only average, it's still considered average even among Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Its defensive capabilities are definitely among the top three in the Primordial World!
Its defensive capabilities are extremely strong!
It can be used to trap people and ward off ominous energy; it is one of the most powerful things in the world!
Among the defensive treasures ranked ahead of this item, only the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud can reliably surpass it!
As Chan Sect Disciple, Jiang Ziya naturally knew these details.
The hand holding the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner even trembled slightly.
He solemnly waved his hand forward.
The Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner swayed gently.
The flag rippled like ocean waves.
It appears gentle and has no offensive capabilities.
And the next moment.
The surrounding glaciers, including their chilling aura, cold air, malevolent energy, and spiritual energy, spanning a radius of 100,000 li.
Everything was completely swallowed up by the soft yellow light released by the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner.
Even the sea surface below was lifted up by the force transmitted from above.
Countless icebergs and boulders were thrown out in that instant!
This instantly created a vacuum in front of Jiang Ziya.
I witnessed this astonishing scene.
Jiang Ziya was startled, and an incredulous look flashed in his eyes!
"So strong!"
"Truly worthy of being Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
"Their defenses are incredibly strong!"
"With such a treasure, even if I were to personally face the Jie Sect Disciple one day, I would have no fear."
"If we were to encounter second-generation disciples of the Interception Sect, such as Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos, we would certainly be able to put up a fight..."
Before Jiang Ziya could finish speaking...
That was abruptly interrupted by the hoarse voice of the Sibuxiang creature.
"Facing the third-generation disciples of the Interception Sect is no problem."
"But if you encounter Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos of the Interception Sect, or other second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect, I advise you to run if you don't want to die."
I was a little embarrassed by the ruthless words of the Sibuxiang.
Jiang Ziya's smugness gradually dissipated, and he suddenly felt somewhat ashamed.
"Ah?"
The Sibuxiang, panting black breath, said disdainfully.
"You're no match for them at all, let alone have the strength to fight them..."
Even if you had the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, it probably wouldn't protect your safety.
"You should know that the reason Zhao Gongming was able to become the chief outer disciple of the eight personally instructed disciples..."
"That's comparable to Duobao."
"Rumor has it that his strength has already reached the Mid-stage Quasi-Sage, and his comprehension can be described as monstrous."
"Among the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, apart from Deputy Leader Randeng, none of the other disciples can be compared to Zhao Gongming."
"The twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls in his hands are already Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure; once released, they possess the power of the four seas!"
Few magical artifacts can rival it!
"Back when Deputy Leader Randeng was at the Great Luo Realm, he fought against Zhao Gongming and was defeated and fled."
"With such a record, do you think you can withstand it?"
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Ziya's lips twitched.
"Even the Randeng is no match for him!?"
"So, after all these years, hasn't Zhao Gongming also improved?!"
After realizing how powerful Zhao Gongming was.
Jiang Ziya then realized how ridiculous his smugness had been.
However, he didn't feel particularly ashamed.
After all, I'm here to confer Investiture of the Gods, not to fight and kill, but to manage!
"Uncle-Master, that's alright."
"Deputy Leader Randeng has already reached the Peak Quasi-Saint."
"He will surely come to help Xiqi one day, and at that time, his grudge with Zhao Gongming can be resolved directly."
"This humble Daoist priest only needs to proceed smoothly with the conferment of Investiture of the Gods."
"You are responsible for leading your fellow disciples in the Chan Sect, and you just need to avoid launching attacks yourself."
The Sibuxiang creature nodded and said, "It's good that you understand."
"Alright, now that we've retrieved the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner..."
"Then we should head to Xiqi."
"Judging by the timeframe, Wen Zhong should be arriving in Great Shang soon."
"The Jie Interception Sect had already gained the upper hand in this matter."
"Please sit down. I will take you to Xiqi as soon as possible, before we lag behind the Interception Sect Jie Sect."
Jiang Ziya nodded and gripped the Sibuxiang's neck tightly.
The Sibuxiang creature moved.
Its enormous body transformed into a streak of red light and vanished instantly into the North Sea!
Heading to Xiqi in the human realm!
On a plain not far from the Human Clan's Chaoge.
A black monster was walking towards us.
Its entire body is as black as ink, with a dragon's head, a deer's body, an ox's tail, and horse hooves.
It was the ancient behemoth: the Ink Qilin of the Qilin Clan.
He was quite large, and as he galloped continuously, he traversed thousands of miles of hills as if walking on flat ground.
On its back sat an old man with a white beard.
It has three eyes on its head, the middle one possessing supernatural powers, emitting a white light several inches long, capable of discerning time, evil, loyalty, and the black and white of people's hearts.
He possessed an air of authority and integrity.
Wen Zhong, the trusted minister entrusted with the care of the Great Shang Dynasty, who was located in Chaoge.
At this moment, Wen Zhong rode the Ink Qilin, and after a short while, the Ink Qilin stopped.
Wen Zhong's eyes swept around, a mysterious glint in them.
"After seeing off Shi Ji and the Jie Sect Disciple..."
"It's time for me to head to the Great Shang. Once I go, I must help it rise again!"
Wen Zhong muttered to himself, his tone resolute.
Just now, after going down the mountain with Shi Ji and the others.
They were then dispersed to a place not far from the Human Clan territory.
Let them find a secluded cave to cultivate themselves.
If they are needed, Wen Zhong will naturally send them a message.
After all, there aren't many demons among the Human Clan.
Aside from mounts, there are almost no demons.
This is also a unique form of luck suppression specific to the Human Clan.
Like Shi Ji, it can already be considered a kind of demon.
Although they were from the same school as Wen Zhong.
However, rashly entering the Human Clan would also have negative consequences.
Now the issue of settling down the Jie Sect Disciple has been resolved.
Wen Zhong felt much more at ease.
Remembering his master's instructions, Wen Zhong quietly touched the brocade pouch in the cloth bag on his chest.
There, he found the Great Wall model, a priceless treasure given to him by his master.
Upon touching this object, Wen Zhong felt a sense of security envelop him.
"Upon returning to Chaoge, the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty, you must immediately meet with the King."
"The matter of building the Great Wall should be put into planning immediately."
"This prompted the King to issue an order to build a Great Wall around Chaoge City!"
"Even if the Chan Sect Disciple attack, we can still protect the safety of Chaoge!"
"After all, Chaoge, as the capital of the Great Shang Kingdom, bears the vital weight of the Human Emperor Qi and the nation's destiny; it absolutely cannot afford any mishaps!"
"With this supreme treasure to suppress destiny, one can rest easy!"
Thinking about this...
Wen Zhong couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
He was extremely loyal to the Great Shang and did not want anything to happen to Great Shang.
They didn't want to be bullied by those hypocritical disciples of the Chan Sect.
Thinking this way.
Wen Zhong couldn't help but pat the Ink Qilin's bottom and whispered a shout.
"Let's go to Great Shang."
His words fell.
The Ink Qilin raised its front paw and let out a roar.
It transformed into a black figure.
It flew away towards the direction of the Human Clan's Chaoge.
They vanished in the blink of an eye.
