It seemed that the Grand Master Xuandu had finished his conversation with the Queen Mother of the West. He bowed and withdrew.

"Grand Master Xuandu..." Many deities sought to establish a friendship with him, showing him great enthusiasm.

Although many disciples of sages were present, such as Jin Chanzi and the attendants of Nuwa Palace.

However, those Primordial Saints had more than one disciple, so their importance was not so high.

But the Taiqing Sect Master only has one disciple, Grand Master Xuandu. How can that be compared?

Grand Master Xuandu greeted him calmly, but showed no intention of engaging in conversation.

The immortals weren't without their own senses; seeing the Grand Master Xuandu in this state, they could only sigh.

In the corner, Marshal Tianpeng looked at Cao Ya, his eyes flashing, and said:

“Lord Ketu, you can go and say hello.”

Cao Ya raised her eyebrows slightly.

Marshal Tianpeng chuckled:

"I heard that the cultivation technique you practice was spread by the Taiqing Sect Master and has been disseminated throughout the universe and even billions of time-space interfaces."

He became serious and said:

"I think that the fact that you were able to obtain that divine skill and immortal technique means that you have caught the eye of the Taiqing Sect Master. At such a young age, you have already attained the Golden Immortal realm. Such a speed of cultivation is rare in the world. My request to become the Taiqing Sect Master's disciple was just talk, but you really have the potential."

The crowd pondered for a moment, then nodded. What Marshal Tianpeng said made sense.

Among the disciples of the Sage, there are few who can rival the Star Lord Ketu in cultivation speed.

Furthermore, even those who receive direct instruction from sages are not all at the Golden Immortal level or above.

Moreover, Lord Ketu has already become a Golden Immortal.

Cao Ya remained silent, offering no reply. If he had ever harbored such thoughts before, they had faded now.

Why must one necessarily become a disciple of the Primordial Sage?

"We should give it a try at the Heavenly Palace of Tushita." General Zhenwu said succinctly.

The Tushita Palace is the territory of Laozi, as everyone knows, and Laozi is an incarnation of the Taiqing Sect Master.

After all, the Heavenly Court was established by the decree of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun.

Even a Primordial Saint wouldn't dare to disrespect him.

The ancient demon court may have been stronger than the current heavenly court, but its legitimacy was far inferior, and it could never have had such a deterrent effect.

Cao Ya hummed in agreement, but whether or not to give it a try remained a mystery.

While they were talking, Grand Master Xuandu came over directly.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Chanzi, one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, this must be the Star Lord Jidu, who has gained considerable fame in recent years, right?"

Grand Master Xuandu bowed, his aura deeply concealed, but Cao Ya still felt a great sense of terror, as if he were even more powerful than Jin Chanzi beside him.

The others returned the greeting.

"Greetings, Grand Master Xuandu." Cao Ya was neither humble nor arrogant. Although the Great Luo was powerful, he had not offended Grand Master Xuandu and had the Heavenly Court as his backer, so there was no need for him to be too humble.

At the same time, he discreetly observed Grand Master Xuandu. From his appearance, he was a middle-aged man with loose black hair, his magical power flowing around him, and his true strength hidden. He was mysterious and powerful.

"Lord Ketu has not only cultivated the Golden Elixir Method, but also other methods, right?" Grand Master Xuandu said softly.

"Grand Master Xuandu has keen insight," Cao Ya said. He possessed an extraordinary amount of power within him, and figuring out how to integrate it had exhausted countless brain cells. However, he had only just begun to make progress, which Cao Ya in "Covering the Sky" obtained by comprehending the Devouring Demon Jar.

"The Star Lord's talent and comprehension are rare in the universe, and I admire him greatly," Grand Master Xuandu praised.

Upon hearing this, Marshal Tianpeng's expression shifted, and he gave Cao Ya a meaningful look, signaling him to seize the opportunity to become his disciple.

Even if I can't become a second-generation disciple of the Human Teachings, becoming a third-generation disciple is no problem.

Grand Master Xuandu is a powerful figure in the Great Luo Realm, more than qualified to be a teacher of a Golden Immortal.

Jin Chanzi and General Zhenwu, however, made no move.

Because they knew that although Jidu Xingjun was not arrogant, he was still a strong person with inner pride. It was nothing unusual for a Golden Immortal to become a disciple of a Great Luo Immortal, but it probably did not conform to Jidu Xingjun's philosophy.

Furthermore, through personal arduous cultivation, Jidu Xingjun has already attained the Golden Immortal realm, and does not necessarily need to become a disciple of the Great Luo Immortal.

Although the Great Luo is powerful, it is ultimately no match for the Primordial Saint.

Cao Ya's reaction was exactly as Jin Chanzi and General Zhenwu had predicted.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Jin Chanzi and Grand Master Xuandu both turned their heads and looked towards the outside of Yaochi.

General Zhenwu followed closely behind.

Cao Ya, Marshal Tianpeng, Vice Marshal Tianyou, and General Heisha were two steps behind.

"Hmm? This is going to be really interesting." General Black Fiend chuckled.

"Don't talk nonsense," General Zhenwu solemnly warned.

Cao Ya knew why General Zhenwu was so solemn, because several groups of people had arrived at Yaochi at this moment.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and the Immortals of the Jie Sect!

By this point in time, those with good connections already knew that the so-called Investiture of the Gods was mainly aimed at the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

Buddhism, the demonic path, the ghost path, and the evil path are all inferior to the Chan and Jie schools.

In this era, the Jie Sect is the most powerful, with all the immortals coming to pay homage. The disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master have many Golden Immortals and quite a few Great Luo Immortals. In addition, the Tongtian Sect Master himself obtained the Four Swords of Zhuxian when the Hongjun Ancestor completely merged with the Dao. When the Zhuxian Sword Formation is set up, it cannot be broken by any but the Four Sages.

Undoubtedly, from top to bottom, the Tongtian Sect Leader and his Jie Sect are the strongest.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun was no less impressive. His twelve Golden Immortals were all ancient figures, such as Guangchengzi, who had already attained the Great Luo Dao.

Otherwise, why would the Investiture of the Gods calamity attract so much attention?

From the highest-ranking immortals like the Great Luo Immortal and the Golden Immortal, down to the lowest-ranking immortals like the Mysterious Immortal and the Celestial Immortal, and even those below the Celestial Immortal level, everyone was involved.

From the perspective of all the gods and Buddhas, even quasi-saints probably cannot remain uninvolved.

Only Cao Ya knew that in the end, the Primordial Saint would personally intervene, destroying heaven and earth and disrupting time and space.

Only when the Heavenly Dao Lord Hongjun appeared did the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods be completely quelled.

"Junior Brother Guangchengzi, so you're also going to participate in the Peach Banquet."

The leader of the Jie Sect was two men and four women, each with an extraordinary presence. Their immortal robes radiated divine light, and fragments of laws flowed out, revealing the divine might of the Jie Sect's chief disciple.

It was none other than Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, Holy Mother Guiling, and Yunxiao.

Behind these six powerful figures were the other disciples of the Jie Sect.

Confronting them were the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, led by Guang Chengzi, shrouded in immortal aura, dressed in ancient Taoist robes, blurry and ethereal. Beside him were disciples of the Chan Sect, such as Chi Jingzi, Huanglong Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, and Puxian Zhenren, as well as Antarctic Immortal and Yun Zhongzi, who were not among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect but were also disciples of the Chan Sect.

"What? We received an invitation from the Queen Mother of the West to attend the Peach Banquet, and Brother Duobao is going to interfere?" Guang Chengzi said indifferently, showing no fear of Daoist Duobao.

Both are Great Luo Immortals and are the eldest disciples of the Primordial Saint. They possess various spiritual treasures of heaven and earth. At this time of great calamity, they are about to have a fierce battle.

"How dare I?" Daoist Duobao said coldly.

The disciples of the two sects faced off at the entrance of Yaochi, their auras subtly shifting and the laws of the Great Dao surging, causing the void to distort and occasionally revealing black cracks.

Even the seemingly invincible Heavenly Palace was torn apart.

This was still a standoff between the disciples of the two sects; they had not actually started fighting.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would probably be reduced to ruins!

Among the disciples of the two sects who were invited to the Peach Banquet, most were Golden Immortals, and some were Great Luo Immortals. Such powerful beings were capable of destroying space and time. If placed in the lower realm, they would easily cause many realms to fall into annihilation.

Inside and outside the Jade Pool, countless immortals and gods avoided the disciples of the two sects and watched from afar, all with a sense of amusement.

Anyway, the life-and-death struggles between the saint's disciples have nothing to do with them.

“The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit…” Cao Ya murmured as he saw the female immortal who had given him the magic powers.
