After Guan Kong lent the Kongtong Seal to King Zhao Xi of Qin, he immediately demolished the Taoist temple and flew towards the heavens.
After arriving at the Heavenly Dao Palace, he met with Hu Le and explained the situation. Hu Le nodded slightly.
"Now that it's settled, you should go to Biyou Palace and meet with Fellow Daoist Tongtian. He will give you his instructions then."
"Here you are."
Guan Kong agreed and immediately left Fuli Heaven, returning to the Primordial World and heading straight for the East Sea.
Upon entering Jin'ao Island and arriving at Biyou Palace, they found that the Water and Fire Boys had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Please trouble the boy to inform my master that I, Guan Kong, request an audience."
"There's no need for that. Master already anticipated Her Highness's arrival and instructed the servant to wait here. Once Her Highness arrives, we can go in and see her directly."
"I see."
Guan Kong nodded, then entered Biyou Palace and found the Tongtian Sect Leader sitting upright on the cloud platform.
"Disciple Guan Kong greets Martial Uncle. May Martial Uncle be blessed with good health and longevity."
The Master of Heaven nodded, feeling quite emotional.
Brother Xuanxiang is truly blessed to have such a disciple.
Among all the disciples of various sects, if one were to say who could become the next Hunyuan, this young man would probably have the greatest chance...
Then, he remembered his eldest disciple, Duobao.
Originally, he had planned to have him inherit his mantle and take over as the leader of the Jie Sect.
Unexpectedly, the great war of the Investiture of the Gods led to the destruction of the Jie Sect. Although his eldest disciple survived, he no longer belonged to the Jie Sect and was given to Buddhism by that damned Laozi.
From then on, he finally lost his eldest disciple and almost lost the future of the Jie Sect...
"But did Brother Xuanxiang send you here?" Tongtian Sect Leader asked.
"Hehe... Uncle-Master is joking. Even without Master's instructions, can't this disciple come to visit Uncle-Master?" Guan Kong said with a smile.
If she wants to compete for the Primordial Dao Fruit in this calamity in the future, even if she doesn't need the help of the Jie Sect, she doesn't want the Jie Sect to cause trouble for her. At this time, it is very necessary to build a good relationship with the Tongtian Sect Master.
"Haha..." A smile suddenly appeared on the cold face of the Tongtian Sect Leader. "You little disciple, if you want to act cute, go do it in front of your master. I won't buy it here."
Guan Kong laughed and said, "Uncle-Master is joking. You and my master are both Pangu, so how can I not be your disciple?"
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader's smile vanished. "It's good that you think that way, but unfortunately, some fellow Daoists don't see it that way. Even though we are both Pangu, they still regard me as an enemy!"
Guan Kongxin knew perfectly well who the Tongtian Sect Leader was referring to.
It's nothing more than Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.
To be honest, those two really did something unethical back then.
You say you destroyed the Jie Sect, fine, but you went and humiliated the Jie Sect disciples in every way.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, right in front of the sect leader, he beat the disciple back to his original form and took him as his mount.
What's the difference between doing this and spitting in the face of the Tongtian Sect Leader?
That battle almost slapped the face of the Tongtian Sect Leader so hard it was swollen.
The three are all members of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu and fellow disciples of the Xuanmen sect. Even if they have some disagreements, they shouldn't have gone this far...
"Uncle-Master, the Master sent me here this time to await your orders. If you have any instructions, please feel free to give them to me, and I will do my best to complete them."
The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly, "Brother Xuanxiang, you are very kind."
Next, he turned to the boy beside him and instructed, "Boy, go and call your Senior Brother Xu to see me."
"yes."
The boy agreed and quickly walked out of the hall.
A moment later, the boy led a young Taoist priest in.
Guan Kong looked up and saw that the young man was handsome, had a refined smile, and exuded a faint scholarly aura.
Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, his demeanor was that of a scholar, quite unlike someone from the mystical path...
"I've met you, teacher."
The young man came to the center of the hall, knelt down, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the Tongtian Sect Leader.
The Master of Heaven said, "Disciple, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise."
"Thank you, teacher." The young man nimbly got up from the ground, turned to look at Guan Kong, and wondered about her origins.
"This is your senior sister Guankong, a disciple of your Uncle Xuanxiang. Hurry up and come forward to greet her!" Tongtian Sect Leader introduced her to him.
The young man dared not be negligent and bowed, saying, "Your younger brother, Xu Shilin, greets Senior Sister."
Guan Kong nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Junior Brother, you're too kind."
Hu Le had already told her about the person in charge of bestowing the titles of gods in this calamity.
She had heard of Xu Shilin before, but today was their first meeting, and she found that he was indeed a handsome and talented man.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level was a bit lacking.
On second thought, Xu Shilin has only been a cultivator for a short time and hasn't undergone the tempering of time, so it's not surprising that his cultivation level is so low...
Little did she know that since Zizi joined Jin'ao Island, the Tongtian Sect Leader had not seriously refined his cultivation.
It wasn't that the Tongtian Sect Leader wasn't diligent; the real issue was that he simply didn't have enough time.
After all, the time for the impending massacre is not far off. In his opinion, even if Xu Shilin is exceptionally talented, how much improvement can he make in such a short time?
In any case, when the gods were conferred, he didn't need to have a high level of cultivation.
It would be better to teach him some military books and strategies, which would be more helpful for him to lead troops into battle, conquer all directions, and achieve unparalleled feats in the future.
Otherwise, he had always been studying the Four Books and Five Classics and had not studied military affairs much.
If he doesn't delve into this field, how can he possibly lead an army and command them in battle using those archaic phrases and literary allusions?
At this moment, the voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader rang out in the hall.
“Disciple, you have been on the mountain for more than three years now, and you have learned some supernatural powers and techniques. Now that the calamity is approaching, you should go down the mountain with your senior sister Guan Kong.”
Xu Shilin's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly knelt down, saying, "Teacher, has there been anything I've done wrong? Please tell me frankly, and I will definitely correct it. Please don't send me away!"
The Master of the Heavens sighed, "Alas! Foolish child, it's not that I want you to leave, but your opportunity has arrived. If you stay in Biyou Palace, you will lose this chance and fortune..."
When the Investiture of the Gods was held, his response was far too passive, which resulted in the destruction of the entire Jie Sect and the deaths of countless disciples.
Those who survived by chance were either forcibly converted to other major religions or became someone else's mount.
Having learned from such a lesson, how could he possibly make the same mistake as before when facing this calamity?
With this proactive approach, the worst-case scenario shouldn't be the same as last time, where the entire religion is destroyed...
“Junior Brother Xu, what Master and I said is right. With your aptitude and talent, you don’t have much of a chance to become an immortal. Staying in Biyou Palace won’t be of much use.”
"Why don't we hurry up and follow my master's instructions, and come down the mountain with me to create a new world..."
