True Person Taiyi's Ambition
Should we send a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect to the Investiture of the Gods?
Golden Turtle Island, Biyou Palace!
A thoughtful expression appeared on the face of the Cult Master Tongtian.
If this had happened a thousand years ago, the Cult Master Tongtian probably wouldn't have agreed to Jinling's request.
But things are different now.
The Chan Sect was secretly plotting against its own Registered Disciple, intending to place him on the Investiture of the Gods.
Of course, this is a minor matter.
After all, his disciples were destined to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods, so it's normal for them to engage in some scheming.
Moreover...
Although being included in the Investiture of the Gods subject him to its constraints, the disciples of the Jie Sect had him, their Sage teacher, as their backer.
Even if the Investiture of the Gods falls into Haotian's hands in the future, he certainly won't make things too difficult for the disciples of the Jie Sect.
It could be said that going to work in the Heavenly Court is not entirely a bad thing.
However, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, taking advantage of his superior strength, personally targeted her disciple, Holy Mother Jinling, capturing her and even showing murderous intent, nearly losing his life in the process.
Furthermore, the news brought by the Holy Mother Jinling indicated that the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi intended to win over other Sage in order to target her Jie Sect during the Investiture of the Gods War.
This further fueled the Cult Master Tongtian's disappointment and anger towards his senior brother.
The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi actually invited outsiders to join forces against him, the junior brother, in dealing with matters concerning his own fellow disciples.
How could this not anger Tongtian?
And...
After the incident with Jinling, the Chan Sect seemed to have completely let go of its inhibitions.
If True Person Taiyi's scheming regarding Shiji was somewhat concealed, then over the course of a thousand years...
The Chan Sect's approach was much more direct; they plotted and schemed, then killed the Jie Sect members and sent them to the Investiture of the Gods.
Several outer disciples of the Jie Sect Investiture of the Gods have already been listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
Although they were all just outer disciples, they were still disciples of the Jie Sect.
Now that Jinling is preparing to launch a counterattack against the Chan Sect, the Cult Master Tongtian naturally has no objection.
"Allow!"
The Cult Master Tongtian replied directly to Jinling.
Along with the reply, the gaze of the Cult Master Tongtian also reached Jinling's side.
Certainly.
As Sage, the Cult Master Tongtian naturally wouldn't be looking forward to seeing the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect being sent to the Investiture of the Gods.
The Cult Master Tongtian was merely on guard against the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
After all, when a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect is about to perish and be listed on the list, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi will definitely step in to save him.
This was the moment for the Cult Master Tongtian to make his move.
And this... is the fundamental reason why Jinling came to find the Cult Master Tongtian.
Otherwise, if it were just a matter of sending one or two Daluo Golden Immortal to the list, there would be no need to report to the Cult Master Tongtian.
"Allow!"
Upon receiving the reply from the Cult Master Tongtian, Jinling's face lit up with joy.
Feeling the gaze directed at him by the Cult Master Tongtian, Jinling felt much more at ease.
It was under the watchful eye of the Cult Master Tongtian.
Even if Celestial Venerable Yuanshi personally intervened, he probably wouldn't be able to save his disciple.
Gazing at True Person Taiyi and Yuding True Person, a coldness gradually appeared on Jinling's face.
These two Daluo Golden Immortal clearly hadn't yet detected the strength of these two Quasi-Sage, and even their telepathic conversations were clearly overheard by them.
"Taiyi, it's already this late. Even in Chaoge City, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a suitable disciple!"
Yuding True Person looked at True Person Taiyi and sighed softly.
True Person Taiyi paused for a moment before speaking softly, "If you search carefully, you can still find it."
Hearing True Person Taiyi's words, though slow, they were without the slightest hesitation, and Yuding True Person knew that True Person Taiyi had truly made up his mind.
"Well!"
Yuding True Person sighed inwardly.
Once Master True Person Taiyi has made up his mind, there's no way his junior brother can change it.
In fact, according to Yuding True Person's opinion, given their Chan Sect and Divine Ability, as long as they were careful, they might not be unable to survive the Investiture of the Gods War.
True Person Taiyi originally agreed with this idea, but...
Thinking about what happened to Nezha some time ago, Yuding True Person felt very complicated.
Although they had spent countless years together, Yuding True Person had long known that True Person Taiyi was a pure cultivator.
For the sake of spiritual practice, one can do almost anything, but...
Even though Yuding True Person never expected that True Person Taiyi would scheme against Lady Nüwa's Lingzhuzi.
That was an Innate Spirit Treasure that the Lady Nüwa herself had personally guided and sent into the cycle of reincarnation!
Even with the backing of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, scheming against the Lingzhuzi still carried immense risks.
The True Person Taiyi actually dared to carry out such a vicious scheme.
This truly astonished Yuding True Person.
If we follow Yuding True Person's idea, now that he has found the reincarnation of this Lingzhuzi and taken him as a disciple...
Naturally, they should be carefully taught and guided to become successful.
Perhaps compared to directly seizing the Karmic Luck of the Lingzhuzi, the relationship between master and disciple alone is less beneficial to one's own cultivation.
But it's still far better than this kind of risky 'scheme'.
This is not...
True Person Taiyi's scheme against Lingzhuzi failed, didn't it?
And they even lost two Innate Spirit Treasure!
Only...
Yuding True Person clearly hadn't expected that the failure of this scheme would have such a severe impact on True Person Taiyi.
It should be noted that before, True Person Taiyi, like him and Huanglong True Person, believed that there was no need for any scheming in this great calamity and that they could get through it on their own.
But now...
Gazing at the distant Chaoge City.
This time, True Person Taiyi invited him to come to Chaoge City because he wanted to find a disciple Chaoge.
As for why True Person Taiyi would involve him in this,...
Of course it's because Chaoge City is dangerous!
As the capital of the Yin Shang Dynasty of the Human Race, Chaoge City's suppression of cultivators is arguably one of the strongest in the entire Nine Provinces Barrier.
In the past, if True Person Taiyi wanted to find a disciple, he could have quietly waited for the destined person to arrive around Chaoge City.
But now...
The Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation is imminent.
There isn't much time left for True Person Taiyi to wait patiently.
That's why they brought Yuding True Person along, preparing to go directly into Chaoge City to find a disciple.
But it's already this late...
Even if True Person Taiyi accepted a disciple, where would he find the time to teach him?
It should be noted that within their Chan Sect, all the other fellow disciples who wished to take on apprentices had already accepted them and diligently taught them for over a thousand years.
Even so.
Among his three generations of disciples in the Chan Sect, apart from his disciple Yang Jian, the one with the highest cultivation level probably had not yet achieved the status of Heavenly Immortal.
It's barely usable.
However, if True Person Taiyi were to accept disciples now, unless he were looking for someone who already possessed considerable cultivation, otherwise...
How could they possibly catch up with the Great Investiture of the Gods Calamity?
Only...
Yuding True Person looked at True Person Taiyi beside him, thinking about his senior brother's temperament and the things he had decided.
Unless it's the master, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, otherwise...
None of his fellow disciples could dissuade him.
Therefore, Yuding True Person could only accompany True Person Taiyi on this journey.
Only...
Yuding True Person was unaware of was...
When True Person Taiyi came to Chaoge City, it wasn't simply to find a disciple; he had already set his sights on one.
Only...
Before this, there had simply not been an opportunity to win it.
And now...
True Person Taiyi gazed into the distance at the convoy heading towards Chaoge City.
The opportunity has arrived!
Even with the composure of Daluo Golden Immortal, True Person Taiyi could hardly contain his fervor at this moment.
Honestly.
Although it was a pity that the last attempt to scheme against Lingzhuzi failed, True Person Taiyi had already prepared himself for the possibility of failure long before the plan even began.
However, the failure of the plan did not affect True Person Taiyi, but... the feeling of being Karmic Luck was something that True Person Taiyi found hard to control.
Logically speaking, as a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, True Person Taiyi considered himself to be a person of Karmic Luck.
But...
When True Person Taiyi was scheming against Lingzhuzi and its Karmic Luck Lingzhuzi, he truly witnessed what it meant to Karmic Luck.
With such incredible Karmic Luck upon him, even True Person Taiyi felt that he might have a chance to become Sage in the future.
For cultivators, there is absolutely no greater temptation than seeing the hope of becoming a saint.
Under normal circumstances, with True Person Taiyi's Dao heart, he might have been able to restrain himself, but things are different now.
This is... Immeasurable Tribulation!
In addition, there were the 'humiliations' that True Person Taiyi suffered at the hands of Jinling that day.
He was unaware that Jinling was later hunted down by Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was too busy covering up such a shameful thing to tell anyone else, let alone his own disciples.
All in all.
Since that incident.
True Person Taiyi's heart... has changed.
True Person Taiyi now desperately desires to possess some kind of powerful Karmic Luck, longing to become stronger, to become...
More powerful than any god or immortal!
So...
What was originally just a matter of seeking a peaceful Great Investiture of the Gods Calamity fell into the sights of the True Person Taiyi.
It was a time of Immeasurable Tribulation.
This is absolutely the best time to carry out all calculations and plans.
The secrets of heaven are not revealed, and cause and effect are in disarray.
No one with great Divine Ability can predict the secrets of heaven, and therefore no one can see through his schemes.
With cause and effect confused, his calculations would not have to bear the consequences of unnecessary karmic repercussions.
During this period, no matter what schemes True Person Taiyi devised, the Heavenly Dao would not record them.
Is there a better or more opportune time than this to plan for the Karmic Luck of others?
The answer is... no!
The yearning and greed in True Person Taiyi's eyes as he looked at the caravan entering Chaoge City were well concealed.
So much so that even his junior brother, Yuding True Person had known him for countless years, couldn't tell.
Only...
All of this did not escape Jinling's eyes.
Seeing the greed hidden in True Person Taiyi's eyes, and especially after noticing the object of True Person Taiyi's greed, Jinling's face grew even colder.
Combining the dialogue between Yuding True Person and True Person Taiyi's greed, and the understanding of True Person Taiyi at Chentang Pass.
Jinling had roughly guessed True Person Taiyi's purpose, and a cold smile immediately appeared on Jinling face.
"Perfect timing. I was worried about how to get you on the list, but I didn't expect... you've already found your own way to ruin."
