Ziwei has left the Investiture of the Gods and returned to the Heavenly Court. He is just waiting for the right time to come to the Investiture Platform to await his investiture and pardon, and from then on he will be able to share in the destiny of the Xuanmen Immortal Path.
Bai Jian watched this scene but dared not stop it. He could only watch helplessly as Ziwei transformed into a rainbow and flew away, and then respectfully saw Hu Le off on his way.
Then he hurriedly notified Jiang Shang.
As the one destined to be bestowed with divine favor, Jiang Shang was helpless upon learning of this matter. That person was a cult leader of the same level as his teacher, Yuanshi Tianzun, and how could he possibly have any say in his actions?
So he reported this to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
After learning of this, the Celestial Venerable remained silent and did not go to Hu Le to discuss the matter...
After leaving Qishan, Hu Le did not return to the Heavenly Dao Palace immediately, but instead went to the Underworld.
At this time, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, was still lingering in the underworld, waiting for reincarnation.
However, fate has decreed that he will attain enlightenment through the Yi method in this life, and it is impossible for him to truly fall into the cycle of reincarnation again...
Hu Le arrived outside the Underworld and was immediately sensed by the Underworld Kings. Led by Yama, all the important officials of the Underworld came out to greet him.
After exchanging greetings, they invited Hu Le into the Yama's Palace.
Once Hu Le was seated, he had someone bring over Ji Chang's spirit.
"Greetings, Holy Master!"
Upon seeing Hu Le, Ji Chang quickly bowed and greeted him.
Hu Le glanced at Ji Chang and couldn't help but marvel at the strangeness of fate. Who could have imagined that the once high and mighty Heavenly Emperor, who had suppressed the entire prehistoric world for countless eons, would fall to such a state?
Hu Le nodded slightly, signaling him to rise, and asked with a smile, "You and I had a great karmic connection in our past lives. Today, I will guide you to the Heavenly Dao Palace to cultivate. Are you willing to convert?"
In the past, Taiyi helped him attain enlightenment, but now the tables have turned, and it is Taiyi's turn to help him.
Every sip and every bite is not only a matter of fate, but also of cause and effect...
Fortunately, Taiyi had previously sacrificed himself to destroy Hongjun Daoren's Hunyuan Dharma Body, thus buying several Yuanhui for the Primordial God Clan and repaying the God Clan's karma.
With this cause and effect resolved, and my true spirit now complete, I can embark on the path of cultivation afresh, unburdened...
Although Ji Chang was the reincarnation of Taiyi's true spirit, he was no longer the original Taiyi, and naturally did not awaken Taiyi's memories.
Even so, upon hearing that the Taoist leader had come to convert him, how could he refuse? He was more than willing...
"Your Excellency has mercy, I am willing!"
"good!"
Hu Le stood up, waved his sleeve to put Ji Chang away, and was then sent out of the underworld by Yan Luo and others.
Hu Le took Ji Chang back to the Heavenly Dao Palace, used his supernatural powers to recreate a physical body for him, and then taught him the Taoist method of cultivating Qi.
Ji Chang inherently possessed the Daoist nature. The reason he did not embark on the path of cultivation in his previous life was because of his special identity; he was one of the initiators of this divine calamity.
At that time, which of the three sects' disciples would risk disrupting the secrets of heaven by imparting cultivation methods to him?
Now that he is dead, he has fulfilled his mission. Hu Le has reconstructed his physical body and passed on his Taoist teachings to him, so naturally he will no longer have much impact on the calamity of the gods...
After Hu Le finished teaching him the Taoist arts, he ordered him to find a palace within the palace to cultivate himself.
Meanwhile, the boy had already returned from Penglai Island in the East Sea and retrieved the Innate Five Elements Divine Ball.
Hu Le began to hold the spiritual treasure and comprehend the mysteries of the Five Primordial Elements...
Meanwhile, the carnage in the human world continued unabated. At this time, Jiang Shang led his army, conquering dangerous passes along the way, and constantly approaching the city of Chaoge.
During this time, disciples of the Jie Sect repeatedly tried to stop the army's advance, but they were all killed by disciples of the Chan Sect and sent to the Investiture of the Gods.
Of course, the ability to kill so many disciples of the Jie Sect was not entirely due to the efforts of the Chan Sect disciples; the planning behind the scenes by Yuanshi Tianzun was also indispensable.
On one occasion, he even personally intervened to suppress and kill the Three Immortals of the Jie Sect.
Even more impressively, he also won over Laozi, causing Laozi to increasingly favor the Chan Sect.
Perhaps, in Taishang's view, he was also helping Tongtian Jiaozhu to clean up the withered branches and leaves within the Jie Sect...
In contrast, the Tongtian Sect Leader's response was much slower.
Perhaps in his view, both Zhao Gongming and the Ten Heavenly Kings were outer disciples and could not be considered direct descendants of the Jie Sect.
Their inclusion on the list did not damage the foundation of the Jie Sect.
Even the famous Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao in later generations were only outer disciples in the Jie Sect.
The ones he truly favored were his four disciples, represented by Daoist Duobao, and his seven attendant immortals...
As the disciples of the two sects fought fiercely and made it onto the list, Jiang Shang's Xiqi army swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum.
When Guang Chengzi killed the "Fire Spirit Mother," a disciple of the Jie Sect, the massacre finally reached its climax.
After all, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit was no ordinary person, but a disciple of Daoist Duobao, and could be considered a direct descendant of the Jie Sect.
Later, whether it was intentional or not, after Guang Chengzi killed the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, he specially ordered Guang Chengzi to return the treasure "Golden Cloud Crown" that he had obtained as a spoil of war, so that he could visit the Biyou Palace of the Tongtian Sect Master and present the treasure in front of the Jie Sect immortals.
The consequence was that the entire Jie Sect felt deeply humiliated, and the Tongtian Sect Leader, relying on his saintly demeanor, allowed Guang Chengzi to leave safely.
Unfortunately, instigated by Jinling Shengmu and others, the disciples of the Jie Sect besieged Guang Chengzi twice.
Therefore, seeing that he could not escape, Guang Chengzi had no choice but to visit Tongtian Jiaozhu three times in order to protect himself and get out of the predicament.
Although she later fought fiercely with the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit in the territory of the Jie Sect, she eventually managed to get a pardon from the Tongtian Sect Leader with her silver tongue and escaped the sect with great difficulty.
Because of his disciple's matter, Daoist Duobao harbored resentment and, together with his fellow disciples, took the opportunity to sow discord between their master, Master Tongtian.
The Tongtian Sect Leader also felt that it was time to teach Yuanshi Tianzun a lesson. Otherwise, if things continued as before, no matter how many disciples his Jie Sect had, they probably wouldn't be enough for the Chan Sect to kill!
Therefore, he set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation at Jiepai Pass on Jiang Shang's marching route.
From this moment on, the carnage reached its climax, and saints descended upon the scene.
This Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is the most powerful killing formation in the world. Once established, it cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun each took a turn in the formation, and then used the supernatural powers of their respective sects. In particular, Taishang Laojun used the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, which even the Tongtian Sect Leader found quite amazing.
At first, the Tongtian Sect Leader suffered a slight loss, but as a sect leader and saint, he quickly figured out the details of the One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones and was about to turn the tide.
Laozi, however, knew when to stop and safely retreated from the formation, protected by the Xuanhuang Pagoda.
Although Taishang and Yuanshi both escaped the great formation safely, they understood that with the power of the two sages alone, they were simply unable to break the formation.
Therefore, the two saints went to great lengths to bring Western religions to the East and invited the saints Jieyin and Zhunti to lend them a helping hand.
As expected, the four saints joined forces and successfully broke through the Zhuxian Sword Formation. Even the four Zhuxian swords and the formation diagram were taken away by Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun respectively.
Even so, the Tongtian Sect Leader still refused to admit defeat and prepared to use the full power of his sect to set up another Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to continue his battle with the Primordial Heavenly Lord and the others...
But before that, he first went to the Heavenly Dao Palace...
