Finally, under King Zhou's desperate pressure, Liu Shen chose to give in.

But no one else yielded. The Xianqin army stormed the walls of Chaoge, slaughtered the disciples of the Jie Sect, captured three Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and scattered countless hostile beasts and demons.

Until they were fighting against the Wuming army, which already occupied part of Chaoge.

At this moment, King Zhou seemed to have truly become a lonely figure, having lost Chaoge and his home. Only after seeing the unmoved flagship of the Immortal Qin did he return to the remaining disciples of the Jie Sect with Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu, and the Jie slaves who had lost their own will.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, protecting his disciples, glanced at the returning Human Emperor before him and slowly sheathed the fierce light from the four Zhuxian swords beside him.

Of the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect, only one in ten survived; of the glory of the three religions, only one in a hundred remained; only a few remained in Xiqi; and the Shang Dynasty was completely destroyed. These sudden enemies exceeded all their expectations.

This defeat made him see many things clearly. There were far more saints than they were in the world, and countless people had transcended. They had not even broken through the Great Dao of the Primordial World, so how could they be called true saints?

The Intercepting Sect aims to seize a glimmer of hope, and perhaps this glimmer of hope needs to be seized from the participants themselves!

At that very moment, King Zhou strode toward the Tongtian Sect Leader and said with a hint of respect, "Sage Tongtian, I wish to borrow your Four Swords of Zhuxian!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was interrupted by the sudden voice. He turned to look at the frightened Wen Zhong and the others, then suppressed the slight displeasure in his heart.

King Zhou now possesses the power to engage in dialogue with him, and the other party's assistance will be indispensable in this great calamity. As for the Four Swords of Zhuxian... it's not that they can't be lent to him.

"Why should I lend it to you?" Tongtian Sect Leader said loudly, "Without the protection of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, I would not be able to protect my disciples in this great calamity."

King Zhou said without hesitation, "I have already promised Wu Ming that if the Sage Tongtian lends me the immortal sword, Wu Ming will definitely protect your disciple, and the Shang Dynasty will surely respect the Jie Sect in the future!"

The Emperor's promise is certainly not false.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stared intently at King Zhou for several seconds. The Four Swords of Zhuxian floated beside him, and with his will, he absorbed their malevolent light into the swords.

King Zhou, a human emperor capable of cultivation, a great calamity saint human emperor...

Participants: Xian Qin, Si Bang, Wu Ming...

If it were merely the original Investiture of the Gods, no matter how the participants interfered or how the heavenly secrets changed, the Tongtian Sect Master had countless ways to render the Chan Sect's schemes ineffective. As for King Zhou and the Zhou Emperor, he didn't care who won; a hundred years in the mortal realm was but a breath's time to him.

Now that the Immortal Qin have invaded, he does not intend to participate too much unless the Heavenly Dao issues a warning.

However, he discovered some problems: the changes in the fortune of Xiqi, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Chan Sect, and the intentions of his senior brother, Yuanshi Tianzun.

Let King Ji Fa of Zhou establish a dynasty like the Qin Dynasty, and let the Chan religion be the sole authority!

Although he didn't care about the Yin Shang dynasty, if he could use it to break their scheme, that would be extremely gratifying, especially since his disciple had deep ties to the Yin Shang.

You can lend it to him...

In the few moments of his thoughts shifting, the Tongtian Sect Leader had already taken out the Zhuxian Sword Formation Diagram. After throwing the diagram to the other party, the Four Zhuxian Swords immediately flew to King Zhou's side, circling the diagram and King Zhou, and once again radiating a fierce light.

No matter how powerful the Chan Sect and the Zhou Emperor were, they could not escape King Zhou. As long as King Zhou was strong enough, the Zhou Emperor would appear on his own before long!

At that moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader's gaze inadvertently swept over Sizang and the others. He certainly didn't have a good impression of Sizang, but he didn't take action directly like Yuanshi Tianzun did, since the laws of heaven and earth that the other party followed did not include these so-called saints of the three religions.

If a cultivator were to abandon their past beliefs upon seeing the saints of the three religions, it would be even more displeasing.

As King Zhou took the array diagram, the Tongtian Sect Leader led his disciples into Wu Ming's camp while approaching Lin Feng and his group, who were also sending the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans into Wu Ming's camp.

Lin Feng noticed the other party's gaze and turned around to cast a curious glance at the Tongtian Sect Leader, who was staring straight ahead.

"I know where Ji Fa is." The Tongtian Sect Leader waved his hand, shielding everything around him.

"Where?" Lin Feng asked without hesitation.

"Qishan, the Emperor's Conferment of Gods Technique."

The Emperor's Conferment of Gods Technique?

The Emperor? The Investiture of the Gods?

Lin Feng instantly broke down the spell into two phrases in his mind, and a moment later, he found the information in the C3 database.

It's a cultivation technique. If the other party successfully cultivates it, then...the Investiture of the Gods...Si Zang and the others will likely be stripped of their official positions and protection, and King Zhou will also be threatened.

Some of those listed on the Investiture of the Gods will surely become Ji Fa's allies.

However, these threats are not significant. No matter how strong Ji Fa is, he cannot surpass King Zhou. The Investiture of the Gods technique may not be able to gain an advantage when the Heavenly Dao is concealed.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled. It seemed that the Tongtian Sect Leader had other purposes at this moment.

"Chan Sect, Emperor's Conferring of Gods Technique, Pangu's Essence Blood, Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation." Tongtian Sect Leader uttered a few words, and when all of these gathered on one person, they immediately became intimidating.

"The bloodline of the Ancestral Witches?" A possibility popped into Lin Feng's mind.

“Descendants of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.” The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded.

Descendants of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Investiture of the Gods...

Lin Feng couldn't help but draw a huge circle in his mind: the Heavenly Court of the Witch Clan, this is really quite interesting.

In the end, even King Zhou Ji Fa might be injected with the bloodline of the Wu tribe.

Zhou Tianzi... Ji Fa... Wuzu?

Something's not right. Not to mention the conflict between the Three Pure Ones and the Wu Clan, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable might not be able to approve of the Wu Clan. There must be someone involved who interfered, and someone they don't know about.

"You've used Pangu's essence blood, haven't you?" Lin Feng asked the Tongtian Sect Leader in front of him, recalling their previous conversation.

"I have used it. The method I cultivate does not prove the Dao through force. Even if it involves devouring and refining essence and blood, it is meaningless," Tongtian Jiaozhu replied.

"Can't we reshape our bodies to prove the Dao through force?" Lin Feng asked very carefully. Even if the Jie Sect couldn't find the Dao by seizing a sliver of life, they could still find other opportunities by proving the Dao through force.

The Tongtian Sect Leader replied again: "The paths are different. The path in my heart is different from the path proven by force."

"What if the path in your heart was wrong from the very beginning?" Lin Feng's gaze changed, and the Primordial Great Dao flowed out in his hand. The clear and turbid aspects, like the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, were displayed with exceptional clarity in front of the other party.

If anything could change the mind of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, it would be something that shattered all his perceptions, or even something that allowed him to see something beyond possibility!

"Wrong? How could it be wrong? This..." The Tongtian Sect Leader instinctively refuted, but when he looked closely at the moment when the water was clear and the turbid, the word "wrong" immediately appeared in his mind.

The clear and the turbid are so perfect, separated from the lifeless chaos, giving birth to hope and the impossible, and in this deadly chaos, the seeds of will are sown, breaking the deathly silence.

This is the Great Dao of Pangu, the Great Dao of the Primordial World!

The Chan sect elucidates the principles of Heaven and acts in accordance with Heaven's will; the Jie sect seizes life force and breaks through the limitations of destiny.

Human education advocates non-interference in governance...

The Confucian concept of governing by non-action refers to finding suitable and capable individuals and giving full play to their abilities, so that the emperor can govern the country well without taking any action.

The Taoist concept of "governing by non-action" means that rulers do not need to interfere excessively with the people. The people will govern themselves based on their own moral standards, just as the existence of laws provides a basis for people's behavior, naturally creating a legal and just society.

However, the inaction taught by human beings means doing nothing, caring about nothing, and letting the world do as it sees fit.
