Jiang Ziya Descends the Mountain Early

The Yuanshi Tianzun's expression showed slight displeasure.

"Although I'm sending you, there will be a day when you ascend the mountain. There's no need for this hypocritical gesture."

"That Emperor Xin is incompetent and tyrannical, and the world is about to descend into chaos. The Great Tribulation of the Gods is about to begin. Although it is extremely dangerous, there are also opportunities. The main reason I sent you two down the mountain is to help the people of the world overcome this tribulation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya burst into tears.

Now that a great calamity is imminent, wouldn't the teacher be sending him down the mountain to his death?

"My Lord, I truly have no idea where to go."

"Ziya, you have been cultivating in my Jade Void Palace for over forty years. Although you lack the talent for cultivation, you possess the abilities of a general or minister."

"Now descend the mountain and travel the world as you please. When the time is right, you may be entrusted with important responsibilities, bestowing divine Investiture of the Gods upon the gods. When you achieve your goal, you will be rewarded with immense fortune."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya was startled.

Investiture of the Gods on behalf of Heaven?

So, does that mean the teacher is planning to have him preside over the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods?

This is an incredible stroke of luck; on a smaller scale, it's a great blessing for all living beings.

On a grander scale, he will gain endless karma, and perhaps he will even achieve enlightenment through this.

How could such a major event have fallen on my shoulders?

Even sending the Vice Master, Daoist Randeng, to oversee the great calamity wouldn't be unreasonable, so why did it fall on my shoulders?

Jiang Ziya was puzzled; he really didn't understand why such a task had fallen to him.

Although his heart was filled with mixed emotions, he could only kneel down and repeatedly express his gratitude to his master.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Jiang Ziya kneeling on the ground, and then took out two golden treasures.

Pointing to one of them, he said:

"This is the Heavenly Book of Heaven among the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man of Heaven, Investiture of the Gods, and Man, the Investiture of the Gods, also known as the True Spirit Sacred List. It possesses the power to record the Heavenly Dao and eliminate the karmic consequences of great calamities in the world."

"This Kalpa of the Investiture of the Gods as a foundation, we will appoint 365 principal gods, 3,000 deputy gods, 84,000 divine fiends and celestial soldiers and Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. With this Investiture of the Gods Investiture of the Gods, we can eliminate the karmic consequences of this great calamity. You will know its wondrous uses in the future."

"Furthermore, this is the God -God-Beating Whip, Merit Supreme Treasure Postnatal merit. This whip is three feet six and a half inches long, with twenty-one sections, each section bearing four talismans, for a total of eighty-four talismans. It can strike the righteous gods enshrined on the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods, as well as ordinary people. Its magical power is boundless and its might limitless. I hereby bestow these two magical treasures upon you, and advise you to use them wisely."

"In the future, Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, we will still need to rely on these two magical treasures. Only in this way can we stabilize the Primordial World and create a new order."

Upon hearing that his master had bestowed upon him a magical treasure, a look of wild joy flashed in Jiang Ziya's eyes.

This is a treasure of immeasurable merit. Firstly, it is the legendary Book of Heaven Investiture of the Gods Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man; secondly, it is the incomparably powerful God-Beating Golden Whip.

Even among the Twelve Golden Immortals, such treasures were rare.

"Disciple Jiang Shang thanks the Sect Leader."

Shen Gongbao.

"Disciple is here."

Shen Gongbao, who appeared to be middle-aged, had a slightly cold expression.

But her cheeks were also slightly flushed at this moment.

The teacher has already given Jiang Shang two magical treasures; will he also give himself one?

"Shen Gongbao, you have close ties with many disciples of the Interception Sect. I don't care what methods you use, try your best to win them all down the mountain and get them involved in this Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods the Gods. When you successfully retire, your master will also bestow upon you a reward."

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao's body stiffened slightly.

"Your disciple obeys."

But a cold glint flashed in his deeply lowered eyes.

Yuanshi Tianzun not only entrusted Jiang Ziya with the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

He also bestowed two precious gifts upon them.

However, it allowed Shen Gongbao to harm the members of the Interception Sect and showed no intention of giving him any magic weapons. This was simply outrageous.

Once someone enters the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, how can they possibly escape unscathed?

The more Shen Gongbao thought about it, the angrier he became.

His face gradually darkened, but he kept his head down so that no one else would notice.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun turned his attention to the other powerful figures of the Chan Sect.

"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was originally still some time away, but the current Human Emperor is an anomaly. In addition, the Ancestral Dragon, who has been dead for countless years, has also suddenly appeared, which is another anomaly. Moreover, the Yin Shang dynasty's fortune, which had long been at its end, is actually showing signs of revival. The successive appearance of these three anomalies clearly indicates that many immeasurable things have happened."

"You should also descend the mountain ahead of time and try your best to find some exceptionally talented individuals in the world to take under your wing and become the third and fourth generation disciples of my Chan Sect."

"When the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods begins, I can also shield you from the Killing Tribulation of the Mortal World you have committed. However, you must also cultivate diligently. Everything depends on fate. If you cannot overcome this calamity, then alas, even your master will not be able to save you. Remember, remember!"

After saying these words, Yuanshi Tianzun dismissed his disciples.

The numerous second-generation disciples, led by the Twelve Golden Immortals, were naturally terrified.

Unexpectedly, the teacher was going to initiate the Investiture of the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods ahead of schedule.

It seems that a great change in the Primordial World is not far off.

The teacher asked them to choose third- or fourth-generation disciples to protect them from calamity; it seems they need to think this through carefully.

After all, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect were renowned.

If the disciples chosen are poor, wouldn't we be laughed out of the room?

It seems we must carefully select some disciples with exceptional talent.

Otherwise, not only would they fail to protect them from slaughter, but they would also become a burden to them, wouldn't that be disastrous?

Immediately afterwards, the Twelve Golden Immortals and many other second-generation disciples went down the mountain to select the third-generation disciples.

Jiang Ziya also returned to his cave.

He drank a cup of tea in his cave and enjoyed one last moment of his life as a hermit in the mountains.

They then packed their bags and prepared to descend the mountain.

Originally, he didn't want to go down the mountain, because he wasn't attached to worldly affairs.

However, the teacher entrusted him with the important task of presiding over the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

I must prepare early and not let my teacher down.

He then prepared to ride the clouds down the mountain.

However, he was stopped by someone as soon as he stepped out the door.

"Junior Brother Jiang Ziya, please wait a moment."

Jiang Ziya was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Everyone in the Jade Void Palace is very busy these days.

Everyone prepared to pack their belongings and head down the mountain to find their disciple.

Who would come looking for me at this time?

Jiang Ziya quickly turned around and was surprised to find it was the Antarctic Immortal.

This was quite a surprise.

Although the Antarctic Immortal is not among the Twelve Golden Immortals, he holds a very high position, not only because of Antarctic Immortal background and talent, but also because Antarctic Immortal possesses extremely terrifying magical power and cultivation.

He was no weaker than the Vice Leader Daoist Randeng.

Therefore, upon seeing the Antarctic Immortal, he was taken aback and quickly bowed in respect.

"I wonder what business you have with me, Senior Brother?"

The two men were of vastly different social standing, so he naturally treated them with utmost respect and dared not show the slightest disrespect.

"Junior brother, your journey will surely be fraught with danger and peril. I fear that before you even descend the mountain, your first tribulation will have already arrived. If anyone stops you on the way, you must not agree, or you will surely face calamity in the future!"

The aged and venerable Antarctic Immortal, after saying these words, drifted away.

Completely baffled, Jiang Ziya was somewhat frustrated and could only continue his descent from the mountain.

But at that moment, a sound suddenly came.

"Junior brother, please wait."
