A New King Must Be Crowned

The soldier who asked the question spoke to the other soldier.

Upon hearing this, another soldier immediately ran towards Ji Chang's palace.

"Reporting, Your Commander Jiang has returned!"

He ran while shouting these words, and the soldiers along the way did not stop him until he ran into Ji Chang's palace and told Ji Chang the news.

"What? Commander Jiang is back!"

"Quickly, invite him over."

Upon hearing this news, Ji Chang immediately ordered the soldier to invite Jiang Ziya over.

"Yes!"

After the soldier responded, he ran off towards the city gate without stopping.

Ji Chang had given orders early on that if Jiang Ziya returned, they should immediately report to him. After that, Ji Chang stayed in the palace, waiting for Jiang Ziya's return.

It turned out that Ji Chang received the news immediately after Jiang Ziya's army returned to the capital, but he was still worried and wanted to get a definite answer from Jiang Ziya.

By this time, the soldier who delivered the message and Jiang Ziya had both arrived at the city gate.

"Commander Jiang, King Wu has important business with you."

This is the soldier who delivered the message, speaking anxiously to Jiang Ziya.

"I understand, I'll go to the King now."

Jiang Ziya knew why Ji Chang wanted to see him, so he immediately led his trusted followers to Ji Chang's palace.

"Commander Jiang, what's the situation?"

Upon seeing Jiang Ziya enter the palace, Ji Chang immediately asked.

"Your Majesty, the tyrant King Zhou has been defeated. Knowing he had no face to live on, he and Daji committed suicide by burning themselves together at the Star-Picking Tower."

"Your Majesty, please look, these are their corpses that I found in the Star-Picking Tower."

To dispel Ji Chang's doubts, Jiang Ziya Ji Chang with the two corpses he had found at the Star-Picking Tower.

"Good, good! This tyrant is finally dead, and the suffering of the common people is finally over."

Ji Chang was already moved to tears.

"Your Majesty, now that King Zhou is dead, you should quickly ascend the throne to prevent the world from descending into chaos, reigniting war, and plunging the people into misery once more."

Jiang Ziya immediately advised Ji Chang to ascend the throne to stabilize the situation.

"Am I really capable?"

Ji Chang began to make excuses.

"It was you who led the army to defeat King Zhou, ending King Zhou tyrannical rule and saving the common people from their suffering. This merit is of immense value."

"Only a wise and virtuous ruler like yourself, who has performed great deeds and always considers the well-being of the common people, can be established in this world to govern the realm."

"Who else is qualified to do so?"

Jiang Ziya began to persuade Ji Chang to ascend the throne and rule the world, saving the people from their suffering.

"Moreover, my master also said that the fate of the Yin Shang has come to an end, and the Karmic Luck of the world will now gather in Xiqi."

"Your Majesty, your ascension to the throne is ordained by Heaven."

To ensure Ji Chang's ascension to the throne, Jiang Ziya even revealed the secret of Karmic Luck.

"Very well, for the sake of the people, I will choose a day to ascend the throne. However, before that, I have some matters to attend to."

After some deliberation, Ji Chang finally agreed to Jiang Ziya's request.

"What is it?"

Jiang Ziya suddenly became curious.

"During the reign of King Zhou, he committed tyranny throughout the land, plundering the people's wealth and causing widespread resentment."

"I will return everything that King Zhou plundered from the common people before I ascend the throne."

Ji Chang explained his intentions to Jiang Ziya.

"Your Majesty, you must do this as soon as possible, because according to my master's prediction, today, a month from now, will be the auspicious day for your ascension to the throne."

Jiang Ziya immediately reminded him to pay attention to the timing of his ascension to the throne.

"Alright, I understand."

Ji Chang responded with a single sentence.

In the final month, Ji Chang accomplished these tasks and finally established the Western Zhou with its capital at Fengjing.

King Zhou, led by Shen Gongbao, brought his Yin Shang followers to the new world that Nüwa had found for them.

With this, the affairs of the human race in the Investiture of the Gods War of the Human Race came to an end.

However, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was unwilling to let the matter rest so easily. He simply couldn't understand why his master had claimed that the Cult Master Tongtian Leader had removed the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, which he had clearly broken himself.

They then planned to surround all of Cult Master Tongtian's disciples, the Jie Sect, before they could completely withdraw, to force Cult Master Tongtian to return, defeat him, and prove their own Dao heart.

The Cult Master Tongtian originally planned to follow his master, Ancestor Hongjun's, advice and go to the new world to live off the people of the Yin Shang.

However, upon hearing that the followers of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi were beginning to gather around his Jie Sect, intending to destroy Jie Sect, he could no longer remain still.

I am Sage, and in order to cultivate the Tao, my heart must be stable. But this does not mean that I am a pushover who can be manipulated by others.

He immediately rushed back to the Jie Sect from this new world.

When he arrived, he found that the situation was worse than he had imagined. Not only did the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Sage, but also the Daoist Jieyin, the Daoist Zhunti, and the Taishang Laojun, a total of four Sages, came to target the Jie Sect.

"I originally intended to withdraw from this conflict, but since you, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, are so persistent, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"All disciples of the Jie Sect, heed my command! Since they wish to fight, let them suffer a crushing defeat! Form the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!"

Upon arriving, the Cult Master Tongtian the Jie Sect immediately organized everyone to form a battle formation without any hesitation.

"Next, everyone I call upon will guard the innermost formation."

"Wuyunxian and Curl-Headed Immortal, listen to my command! You two will guard the Taiji Formation within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation."

The Cult Master Tongtian began selecting those to guard the innermost formation.

"Your disciple obeys."

Wuyunxian and Curl-Headed Immortal stepped forward from among the disciples and took their places at the side.

"Spiritual Tusk Immortal, Golden Hoop Immortal, heed my command! You shall guard the Two Forms Formation- Yang Formation. If any members of the Chan Sect enter the formation, unleash the wondrous power of Yin and Yang, employ the profound arts of my Jie Sect, activate the Ice and Fire Techniques, and supplement them with Thunder Method to trap those who attempt to break the formation."

The Cult Master Tongtian then selected another person to guard the formation within the formation.

"Your disciple obeys."

Spiritual Tusk Immortal also stepped forward from among the disciples, accepted the order, and stood with the two who had been there before.

"Golden Light Immortal, listen to my command: you will lead three people to guard this final formation within a formation, the Four Symbols Formation."

The Cult Master Tongtian selected the last person to guard the innermost formation.

"Your disciple obeys."

After receiving the order, Golden Light Immortal stood with the others who had been there before.

The Jie Sect, led by Cult Master Tongtian Jiaozhu, was known as "Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage" and had numerous followers. In order to unite the power of all the Jie Sect, after studying the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram, Cult Master Tongtian created a new formation called the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Although the term "ten thousand immortals" is a figurative expression, it still indicates the large number of people involved.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation uses the Cult Master Tongtian as its core, and is a formation within a formation. Law Power by the magical power of the Jie Sect followers, making it extremely powerful.

"Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, heed my command!"

"If war breaks out, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and Taishang Laojun will definitely deal with me with all their might. The Western Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti will also stir up trouble. When the four of them surround me, you must shake the Six Souls Banner without fail."
