"Since Shen Gongbao is no longer a disciple of my Chan Sect, you must remember that from today onwards, Shen Gongbao has nothing to do with my Chan Sect. Furthermore..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable solemnly looked at the Boundless Immortal Elder:

"You are to inform all disciples of the Chan Sect that Shen Gongbao is no longer a member of our Chan Sect, and to formally announce this to the entire Primordial World!"

"Master..."

The Boundless Immortal Elder wanted to persuade him further, but Julusun, who was standing to the side, directly stopped him:

"Senior Brother, Master has already personally declared that Shen Gongbao will be expelled from our Chan Sect. Do you intend to make Master retract his decision? How would that leave Master with any face? How would Master face the people of the prehistoric world in the future?"

Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and others nearby also chimed in:

"Senior Brother, if Shen Gongbao had even a shred of affection for our Chan Sect, he wouldn't have so easily proposed leaving the sect today. Master's decision not to execute him directly is already more than merciful!"

"That's right, Senior Brother, even without Shen Gongbao, you still have so many junior brothers and sisters. Don't cause trouble for someone who has abandoned the sect!"

Looking at his fellow disciples who were constantly trying to persuade him, Wuliang Xianweng couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Banks of the Wei River

Jiang Ziya, who was fishing in mid-air, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he saw the Investiture of the Gods in his arms fly into the sky without any hesitation.

"How is this possible?"

Jiang Ziya's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with shock.

As the one destined to bestow divine titles, he had an extremely strong grasp of the Investiture of the Gods. Even those whose cultivation level was several levels higher than his could not snatch the Investiture of the Gods from his hands.

But now, without any warning, the Investiture of the Gods has left him.

Although his connection with the Investiture of the Gods was not severed, no matter how hard he tried, he could not restrict the Investiture of the Gods in the slightest.

"What on earth happened?"

Why did the Investiture of the Gods leave me?

After the initial shock came a deep sense of fear.
