at the same time,

Western Zhou camp

Looking at the group of powerful warriors under his command, Ji Fa felt a surge of heroic spirit.

Jiang Ziya's words were indeed true. In this way, he would have many powerful warriors under his command, and this battle would determine the fate of the world!

His inspiring pre-battle speech completely roused the army's spirits.

"Move out!" Ji Fa shouted.

At this moment, Ji Fa was filled with heroic spirit and truly possessed the demeanor of a king.

At Ji Fa's command, the army marched straight towards Sishui Pass.

This time,

The Western Zhou army no longer split into three routes, but instead joined forces to attack Sishui Pass, and then continued their advance.

In fact, what followed was merely the conclusion; the Battle of Sishui Pass was the decisive battle.

Even setting aside the victory of the strongest in their own camp, once Sishui Pass is captured, the various warlords who are still observing and wavering will also respond one after another.

At that time,

That was the shadow of the world, the downfall of the Shang Dynasty was inevitable, and he, King Wu Ji Fa, was the ruler of the world, the so-called Son of Heaven!

Although the emperor may seem insignificant compared to the human emperor, so what?! He is still the king of the world!

At this time,

Ji Fa looked at Jiang Ziya beside him and said in a low voice, "Prime Minister, I don't seem to see your masterpiece!"

The so-called masterpiece is naturally an immortal warrior, and Jiang Ziya understood the meaning behind this statement.

Subsequently,

Jiang Ziya replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have made all the arrangements. Such a masterpiece should not be shown to others lightly. We must act at the crucial moment and decide the fate of the world in one battle!"

Upon hearing this,

Ji Fa nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Very well, I am at ease with the Prime Minister's work!"

"I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" Jiang Ziya hurriedly bowed respectfully and replied.

...

at the same time,

Outside the Fire Cloud Cave,

Four figures appeared, and anyone who recognized them would be astonished.

These four are the four True Persons of the Human Sect, whose status is highly respected, second only to Xuandu.

They are Tongxuan Zhenren, Nanhua Zhenren, Dongling Zhenren, and Chongxu Zhenren.

(The original text of Investiture of the Gods did not mention any disciples of the Human Sect, and these four did not appear. They were simply brought in for the sake of the plot.)

According to Taoist doctrine...

Tongxuan Zhenren was a representative figure of the Huang-Lao Neo-Taoist school at the end of the Warring States period. His surname was Xin, his given name was Ying, also known as Ji Ran, and his sobriquet was Long Zheng. He was from Kuiqiu Pu Shang.

Chongxu Zhenren was Liezi, a Daoist scholar from the late Spring and Autumn period to the early Warring States period. Liezi's given name was Yukou, also known as Yukou or Yukou, and he was from the state of Zheng.

Zhuangzi, also known as Nan Hua Zhenren, was a native of Meng in the State of Song. He was a member of the pre-Qin Daoist school.

Dongling Zhenren Kang Cangzi is said to be an ancient immortal and one of the representative figures of the Huang-Lao Neo-Taoist school. He is also known as Kang Sangzi or Geng Sangzi.

I assume some people already know this, so I'm explaining. Please don't take it personally; I'm just using the name, so please don't be offended!

...

As the four True Immortals, including Tongxuan, exchanged glances, the surrounding space distorted, and the four True Immortals entered the Fire Cloud Cave.

at this time,

Fuxi's indifferent voice rang out, "You dare to force your way into the Fire Cloud Cave!"

"Hmph! Tongxuan, Nanhua, Chongxu, Dongling, is this how Laozi taught you?!" Xuanyuan also rebuked.

After saying that,

Master Dongling then said, “We have met the Three Emperors. Although our actions are inappropriate, we have acted expediently due to the urgency of the situation. We have come to pay our respects to the Three Emperors because we have important matters to discuss. At the same time, we wish to bestow upon the Three Emperors a great fortune, enabling them to completely break free from the constraints of the Fire Cloud Cave, roam the world freely, and possess eternal life, immortal and indestructible!”

When the sound faded...

The three emperors exchanged glances, all understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

These guys also became the lackeys of the Heavenly Demon, selling their own souls.

Otherwise, even a saint would not have the means to make them leave the Fire Cloud Cave and remain immortal!

Now that the Heavenly Demons are rampaging through the prehistoric world, they are naturally aware of it. They are also forcibly starting a new Investiture of the Gods calamity. They also expected that this fire would eventually reach the Fire Cloud Cave, but they did not expect it to come so quickly!

"Hmph! Such a price is selling your soul, we will never do it! Get out of Fire Cloud Cave!" Xuanyuan said coldly, and at the same time, his imperial aura shone forth, exerting pressure on the four True Persons, including Dongling!

At this time, the four True Immortals had already merged with the power of the Heavenly Demon, and their cultivation was terrifying. The might of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan was completely useless against the Cave Spirit True Immortal and others!

at this time,

Master Chongxu said indifferently, "Xuanyuan, things have come to this point, why be so stubborn!"

If you choose to cooperate, you should have your own awareness; you are still in control of your own body. If you insist on being stubborn, then only harsh measures will await you!

As the sound faded,

Fuxi's face immediately darkened. "What? You've become bolder since you've become dogs?! Threatening us? Hmph! We expected you to come. Did you really think we weren't prepared?!"

After saying that,

The three emperors, Fuxi and his brother, all formed hand seals, and with each change, the entire Fire Cloud Cave underwent a great transformation. Laws flowed and Daoist rhythms resounded. Fire Cloud Cave was already like an independent small world, but now, with the blessing of the three emperors, it truly became an independent small world.

Rays of light flowed and combined on the ground, forming a mysterious pattern.

As a result, the power of the Fire Cloud Cave mini-world became increasingly formidable and unpredictable.

Seeing this,

The four True Immortals, including Dongling, were completely unconcerned. With their current cultivation levels, even if they formed their own small world, so what? If they wanted to break through it, it would be a piece of cake and would not cause them any harm at all.

at this time,

The disdainful voice of the Cave Spirit Immortal rang out, "Hmph! So what if you've condensed a small world? This is far from enough. It's not too late. Surrendering to our Human Sect is the right path. Why should the Three Sovereigns make a mistake? What's wrong with enjoying great freedom and ease?"
