It would be fine if it were two or three levels higher than my Qingfu Zhengshen?
Shi Ji could only chuckle at the demands placed on the Pure Void Moral True Lord.
Although Shi Ji had been tricked by Shen Gongbao before, after truly understanding the status of Qingfu Zhengshen, Shi Ji could only say that Shen Gongbao was really a good brother, finding her such a suitable position.
The divine office of Qingfu Zhengshen can be described in two words: Qingfu (meaning pure and blessed).
Among the 365 righteous gods, Qingfu righteous god may not have much power, but his level is extremely high. Only a handful of supreme gods, such as the North Pole Purple Emperor and the South Pole Longevity Emperor, can be firmly ranked a level above him.
Want to be two levels above him?
That's utterly delusional!
Shi Ji sneered:
"No! Not even two levels higher than me, not even the lowest divine rank!"
The Pure Void Moral True Lord was instantly enraged:
"Are you kidding me? Of the 365 positions of the Investiture of the Gods, you have only been granted the title of Pure Blessing God. And you're telling me there are no more divine positions? If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today, I don't care if you are Pure Blessing God or not, I will make sure you die today!"
"You dare to kill me? You think you're worthy?"
Shi Ji smiled disdainfully. If Qingxu Daode Zhenjun had said these words to her when she was a Xuanxian, she would have been afraid. But now, she had advanced to Jinxian, and her primordial spirit was bound to the Investiture of the Gods. As long as the Investiture of the Gods existed, her primordial spirit would not perish.
Do you think I'm afraid of someone like you who's at the bottom of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect?
With the Eight Trigrams Cloud Light Handkerchief in hand, Shi Ji let out a soft shout:
"If you want to make a move, then stop wasting my breath. Today I want to see just what kind of skills you, Qingxu Moral True Lord, a scoundrel who condones your disciples' wrongdoings, really have!"
…………
Inside Jiang Ziya's residence in Xiqi, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.
Jiang Ziya's face suddenly turned pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted out like an arrow, splashing onto the ground and forming a shocking pool of crimson.
Upon seeing this, Guang Chengzi's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly reached out to support Jiang Ziya and anxiously asked:
"Junior Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly vomit blood?"
Jiang Ziya's body trembled slightly, his face filled with fear and astonishment, and his lips quivered as he spoke:
"The Investiture of the Gods that my master gave me... has disappeared again!"
Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi frowned deeply, filled with suspicion, and said:
"What's going on? How could the Investiture of the Gods disappear without a trace?"
Jiang Ziya did not answer, but quickly took out the middle-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Eight Trigrams Compass.
He took a deep breath to calm himself, then began to perform hand seals and chant incantations. As the seals were cast, Jiang Ziya spat out a mouthful of blood essence without hesitation, which splattered onto the Bagua compass.
In an instant, the light on the Bagua compass suddenly shone brightly, and the hexagrams appeared like flowing water.
"Shen Gongbao!"
Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth and squeezed out these three words, his knuckles turning white.
Turning to look at Guang Chengzi beside him, Jiang Ziya's eyes were bloodshot:
"Senior brother, Shen Gongbao has gone too far! He has repeatedly intercepted my Investiture of the Gods list. I cannot swallow this grudge!"
When Jiang Ziya uttered the name "Shen Gongbao," Guang Chengzi's face had already darkened. Now, after hearing Jiang Ziya's extremely aggrieved accusation, Guang Chengzi's anger flared up instantly.
"What a Shen Gongbao! I thought he would reflect on his actions after being expelled from the sect by his master, but who would have thought that this beast would go even further and try to harm you, Junior Brother Jiang? It seems that such a despicable person really cannot be allowed to live!"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Jiang Ziya's eyes:
"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, this isn't right. Shen Gongbao was our fellow disciple before!"
Guang Chengzi sneered:
"Fellow disciples? Does Shen Gongbao, a mere creature with fur and horns, deserve to be our fellow disciples? Actually, after you entered the sect and your master confirmed your identity as a person destined for godhood, I did take action against Shen Gongbao once. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have died on the spot. Unfortunately, a scourge can live for a thousand years. People like him are a scourge that lasts for a thousand years, never giving anyone peace of mind."
When Guang Chengzi said those words, his tone was filled with endless regret and resentment.
It's clear that he still harbors resentment about that failure.
Jiang Ziya's mouth dropped open; he was completely shocked by what Guang Chengzi had said.
Although Guang Chengzi was usually fierce and domineering, protective of his own and loyal, liked to use force to suppress others and was ruthless towards his enemies, he had never imagined that Guang Chengzi would attack him so ruthlessly when Shen Gongbao was still a disciple of the Chan Sect.
Faced with Jiang Ziya's shock, Guang Chengzi shook his head dismissively:
“Junior brother, you are too kind. Sometimes, we should act decisively when it’s time to take action. Just like Shen Gongbao, if I had been more decisive back then, things wouldn’t have developed to this point. But it’s not too late to act now.”
"Senior brother, what do you plan to do?"
At this moment, Jiang Ziya also began to look forward to Guang Chengzi's plans.
Guang Chengzi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile:
"If it were up to my usual temperament, I would have smashed Shen Gongbao into mincemeat with the Heaven-Turning Seal by now. But since Shen Gongbao dares to intercept your Investiture of the Gods list time and time again, I can't let him off so easily!"
At this point, Guang Chengzi's eyes suddenly turned cold:
“Junior brother, you will come back to Jade Void Palace with me now. You are the one chosen by Master to be conferred the title of God. Shen Gongbao dared to intercept your Investiture of the Gods, which is disrespecting Master and openly challenging the dignity of the Sage. I want to see if Shen Gongbao can bear the Sage’s wrath.”
