Heaven-Shaking Divine Arrow! Shiji's Disciple! Dead-

On the wilderness.

Jinling appeared to be moving slowly, but each step she took covered an extremely long distance.

"The Land of Nine Provinces..."

Jinling looked up at her surroundings, and sighed softly in her heart.

The image of Shiji involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

"To transform into the most unclean place in the Primordial World?"

Upon hearing Jinling's words, Shiji looked puzzled and quickly asked.

"Senior Sister Jinling, what does this mean?"

Of course, it wasn't that Shiji didn't believe Jinling, but rather that she subconsciously found it hard to believe.

With the suppression of the Nine Provinces Barrier, coupled with the formidable strength of the Human Race itself, how could the Nine Provinces possibly descend into chaos?

Jinling sighed softly and said in a low voice.

"Shiji Sister Shiji must have already received Master's order to go into seclusion in the temple and quietly chant the Yellow Court Classic!"

Shiji nodded slightly.

She naturally remembered the telepathic message from the Cult Master Tongtian not long ago.

Although Cult Master Tongtian had many disciples, he could not reveal all the details of the Investiture of the Gods to them like Celestial Venerable Yuanshi did.

Instead, they chose to only inform their direct disciples and inner disciple of some of the inside details of the Immortal God Tribulation.

However, the Cult Master Tongtian showed no intention of abandoning the outer disciples.

Instead, a constant telepathic message instructed him to remain in seclusion during the upcoming great calamity and not to move around unnecessarily.

After all, even the Cult Master Tongtian himself knew that although he had many outer disciples, his influence was limited.

However, their quality varied greatly, and not all of them were people with deep roots. Naturally, just like the Western Sect, very few of them could be listed on the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods.

If these disciples remain in seclusion in their respective cave abode during the great calamity, they will naturally be able to escape it by quietly chanting the Yellow Court.

Only...

The Cult Master Tongtian clearly overestimated the criteria for selecting gods in Investiture of the Gods of the Gods.

Although Laozi, the Good Corpse of Taishang Laojun, and Nüwa, who enlightened the spirit of Innate Spirit Treasure, were on the list before.

Later, there was the incident where many disciples of the Western Sect failed to be listed on the list of gods.

But there were reasons for everything. In reality, the standards on the Investiture of the Gods were not as high as the Cult Master Tongtian had imagined.

And...

The disciples of the Jie Sect at the top are not Investiture of the Gods of the Gods, nor are they limited to the Sage Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Seeing Shiji nod, Jinling continued.

"The reason Master issued this order is because of a great calamity that is about to occur in the Nine Provinces the Human Race."

"This great calamity involves many secrets and is somewhat complicated to explain, but it mainly targets us, the disciples of the Sage."

As Jinling spoke, her expression turned even more serious as she looked at Shiji.

As for the inside details of this great calamity, Jinling had no intention of telling Shiji.

After all, it involves information about Sage or even the Dao Ancestor.

For Shiji, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, knowing too much is not a good thing. With Shiji level of cultivation, it is enough for her to know that what is to come is very dangerous.

Jinling continued solemnly in a deep voice.

"If Shiji continues to stay in this land of Nine Provinces, even if she wholeheartedly devotes herself to secluded cultivation, she will inevitably be drawn into the great calamity."

"With my junior sister's strength..."

Jinling did not continue speaking.

However, Shiji had clearly understood Jinling's meaning by this time, and her face immediately turned pale.

"Therefore, Shiji Sister Shiji should leave this Nine Provinces for the time being. It would be best if she went to Master's Daoist temple and went to Golden Turtle Island for secluded cultivation."

Jinling looked at Shiji and offered her advice.

Shiji was not a stubborn person, and after hearing Jinling's words, she naturally knew what to do.

Shiji quickly bowed to Jinling and spoke.

"Many thanks to Senior Sister Jinling. After I've packed my things, I'll leave this land of Nine Provinces for Golden Turtle Island."

Jinling recalled the look of gratitude on Shiji's face when she left, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

She advised a disciple of the Jie Sect to leave the Nine Provinces to avoid the great calamity. Jinling knew that she was saving her junior sister Shiji's life.

But when did her disciples of the Jie Sect, backed by the Sage Tongtian, need to leave their cave abode to avoid the so-called great calamity?

Although she felt incredibly conflicted and unwilling, Jinling knew very well that advising Shiji to leave at this time was absolutely the right decision.

After all, Shiji was not a Quasi-Sage like her, but a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and did not have the ability to save her life in this great calamity.

Leaving now is the safest option.

Moreover, let alone Shiji, even she, a Quasi-Sage, is also struggling for the sake of her Star God Lineage, seeking a chance to survive this great calamity.

This great calamity of the gods involved the schemes of many Sages, and even the Human Race and the Heavenly Court were involved.

What can a mere Quasi-Sage like her do?

Jinling sighed softly, letting go of her pent-up frustration, and prepared to continue her journey in search of the reincarnation of the Star God.

But at that moment...

Behind Jinling, in the sky above, a golden light streaked across the heavens, its unrestrained Law Power causing ripples to spread through the void.

Jinling also subconsciously turned her head to look over.

The visible ripple in the void above the sky startled Jinling slightly.

Certainly.

Jinling was not stunned by the Law Power that caused the ripples in the void, but by the direction of those ripples.

That direction... where else could it be but Skull Mountain, from which she just emerged?

"No way..."

A bad premonition arose in Jinling's heart. Without the slightest hesitation, she turned around and sped off towards Skull Mountain.

Having just left Skull Mountain and not having gone very far, Jinling quickly returned to Skull Mountain.

Looking at it from afar, Jinling couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Although the golden light had disappeared, the direction of the resulting ripples in the void was not towards the White Bone Cave as expected.

"Thank goodness... I hope I'm just overthinking it!" Jinling thought to himself, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes, before continuing to fly toward the end of the void ripples.

Upon noticing that the golden light was heading towards Skull Mountain, Jinling immediately assumed it was someone from the Chan Sect making a move.

After all, although Shiji was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, she was still a disciple of his Jie Sect.

Jinling knew very well what kind of people those from the Chan Sect were like.

At this time, it would have been better if it had been discovered by Yun Zhongzi or a few other disciples of the Chan Sect who did not have any obvious animosity towards the Jie Sect.

But what if it were discovered by those disciples of the Chan Sect who were hostile to the Jie Sect?

Without a doubt, those guys will definitely make a move against Shiji once they discover Shiji presence.

Even if a direct attack to kill is unlikely, some scheming is absolutely unavoidable.

This is also why Jinling continued on her way even after seeing that the golden light did not mean she was falling into the White Bone Cave.

When Jinling stepped into Skull Mountain and arrived at the end of the ripples in the void, the place where the golden light fell, her eyes immediately turned cold.

The golden light, now devoid of Law Power aura, had revealed its true form upon landing: a bronze-colored long arrow.

That's not the point.

The key point is that the bronze-colored arrow was now stuck straight into the boy's neck.

That boy was merely Heavenly Immortal, while that long arrow...

An arrow capable of traversing hundreds of millions of miles across the land of Nine Provinces could certainly not be an ordinary object.

Not at all surprising.

The boy with the cultivation level of Heavenly Immortal had already died on the spot, and even Jinling had no power to save him.

Unless...

She personally went to the Underworld to retrieve his soul and bring him back to life.

But... Jinling was already used to matters of life and death, and besides, as a Quasi-Sage, she had no relation to this boy and no karmic ties with him.

How could I possibly do such a thing?

Although... this boy's teacher was none other than her junior sister, Shiji, whom she had just met.

Good!

Although we have never met, judging from the boy's cultivation Cultivation Method and the aura emanating from him...

This boy... there's no doubt he's a disciple of Shiji.

On the other side of the boy, a girl stared blankly at the scene before her.

It's obvious.

The sight of a divine arrow falling from the sky and killing her companion had terrified the young girl.

Jinling watched the scene unfold before her, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She made no move, but waited quietly.

Not long after.

Shiji's figure flew towards them from a distance.

Although she had already decided to leave, the obvious Law Power fluctuations appearing in Skull Mountain made Shiji, as the master of Skull Mountain, naturally return to investigate.

From afar, Shiji spotted the standing figure of Jinling at a glance, and her expression immediately changed slightly.

The previously unhurried movements suddenly quickened, and it flew rapidly towards this direction.

Meanwhile... on the way here, I also saw this scene.

Upon seeing their own servant boy and girl, one dead and the other dazed, their expressions turned even more anxious.

"Shiji greets Jinling."

Upon landing, Shiji ignored her attendants and bowed to Jinling.

"There's no need for such formalities at times like this."

Jinling glanced at Shiji and said, then pointed to the dead Boy Biyun in front of him and spoke.

"This... should be your attendant!"

Looking at Boy Biyun, who had been pierced through the throat by a bronze arrow and died on the spot, Shiji's eyes also revealed a look of grief and indignation.

"He's my junior sister's pageboy," Shiji replied dejectedly.

Although this Boy Biyun was just a boy she casually summoned, and his cultivation level was only that of Heavenly Immortal.

However, he and the Girl Caiyun beside him had also been together for tens of thousands of years. Although their feelings for each other were not deep, they were not absent either.

Of course, Shiji wouldn't be foolish enough to believe that Boy Biyun was killed by Jinling.

"The arrow came from that direction, about 600 million miles away," Jinling said softly, pointing in a direction.

"Six hundred million miles..."

Shiji was puzzled as to why Jinling, who had already left, would return and tell her all this.

Although she perished as a virgin, it was not enough to alarm Quasi-Sage power like the Holy Mother Jinling.

However, Shiji obediently looked in the direction Jinling pointed, and after a moment's thought, she spoke.

"That direction should lead to Chentang Pass!"

After Shiji finished speaking, she raised an eyebrow slightly and carefully examined the bronze arrow that had pierced Boy Biyun.

A few breaths later, his expression changed slightly.

"As expected, it's the Heaven-Shaking Arrow!"

Shiji's face darkened slightly as she spoke in a deep voice.

"Heaven-Shaking Arrow..."

Jinling whispered something to herself.

Although he was Quasi-Sage, Jinling was not omniscient. If it came to secrets or news from the upper echelons of the Primordial World, Jinling naturally knew a great deal.

But at this moment, Jinling truly knew nothing about matters at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

As if sensing Jinling's confusion, Shiji quickly spoke up to explain.

"These Heaven-Shaking Arrow and Heaven and Earth Bow are only slightly known in the vicinity; they wouldn't even register with Jinling."

"An arrow can traverse billions of miles across the entire Nine Provinces and even kill Heavenly Immortal. This bow and arrow cannot be described by mere fame. Tell me in detail."

Jinling shook her head slightly, then looked at Shiji and said in a deep voice.

She didn't consider herself omniscient, or to have a clear understanding of everything in the Primordial World.

"Yes!"

Shiji quickly responded and then began to explain.

"It is said that the Heaven and Earth Bow and the Heaven-Shaking Arrow were forged in High Antiquity times during the great battle between the Human Race's Xuanyuan Emperor and Chiyou."

"It can unleash tremendous power under the cover of this Nine Provinces Barrier."

"It's just that, for some reason, it fell into the hands of Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, and was used as a treasure to guard the pass."

"In Li Jing's hands, the Heaven and Earth Bow and the Heaven-Shaking Arrow have killed several Golden Immortal demons over the years."

That's why it gained some fame near Chentang Pass.

Shiji told him everything she knew.

"A treasure from the great battle between the Xuanyuan Emperor and Chiyou?"

Jinling hesitated for a moment.

Although she was not Human Race, she had some understanding of the Nine Provinces Barrier.

Under the suppression of this Nine Provinces Barrier, although cultivators are greatly restricted, the restrictions on Law Artifact and spiritual treasures only limit the scope of their destruction.

Therefore, various Law Artifact and Spirit Artifact are extremely popular among Human Race.

A single arrow traverses billions of miles.

If it's a treasure forged by the Human Race themselves, then it's not impossible.

Certainly.

Even if these Heaven and Earth Bow and Heaven-Shaking Arrow possessed the power to kill Golden Immortal, it wouldn't be enough to make Jinling give them a second glance.

Jinling was pondering what Shiji had just mentioned Chentang Pass Li Jing of Chentang Pass.

When Shiji mentioned Li Jing of Chentang Pass, Jinling began to deduce the story in her mind.

With his name and official title in hand, and with the power of Jinling Quasi-Sage, almost instantly, Jinling sensed the Karmic Luck on Li Jing that was almost integrated with the Chan Sect.

Immediately, a cold expression appeared on Jinling's face.

"What a fine Chan Sect!"

Jinling snorted coldly.

Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, who was closely associated with the Chan Sect, and the treasures of Chentang Pass, spanning a distance of 600 million miles, shot and killed the boy of her Jie Sect disciple.

Jinling would never believe that this had absolutely nothing to do with the Chan Sect.

A cold glint flashed in Jinling's eyes, followed by a chilling voice. "Chan Sect, do you really think our Jie Sect is easy to bully!"

Hearing Jinling's cold voice from the side, Shiji couldn't help but tremble, and a sense of fear immediately arose in her heart.

Only...

Shiji was puzzled.

Suddenly, how did Jinling get involved with the Chan Sect?

"Could it be..."

Shiji glanced at the tragically dead Boy Biyun beside her, a look of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

Although she was devoted to spiritual cultivation, Shiji was not a fool. Based on the information she knew, though not all of it...

But you can still understand the general idea.

Looking at the cold, Jinling before her, Shiji suddenly felt a bad premonition.

"Could it be... that the Chan and Jie sects are going to go to war just because of one of my disciples?!"
