"Shen Gongbao, are we really going to include Yunwu and Huang Tianhua in the Investiture of the Gods?"
Watching the three immortals, Wuliang Xianweng and his companions, leave, Shiji still showed some resentment:
"Isn't this letting them off easy?"
Upon seeing this, Shen Gongbao's lips curled up slightly:
"What was the purpose of the three religions jointly discussing the Investiture of the Gods? Wasn't it to fill the gaps in the Investiture of the Gods? If you don't include Huang Tianhua and Yunwu on the list, do you plan to include all the members of your Jie Sect later?"
The Holy Mother of Wudang, standing to the side, also gave Shiji a loving look:
"You, the title of Qingfu Zhengshen bestowed upon you by Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao is among the highest level of all the divine positions, which is why you think being on the list is a good thing. But if it's really that good, why do you think Master told us not to leave Golden Turtle Island casually?"
The view of the Holy Mother of Wudang is the unified view of the previous saints.
In Shen Gongbao's view, this perspective is indeed suitable for those with a deep foundation and promising future who are direct descendants of sages.
However, for ordinary cultivators, being listed on the Investiture of the Gods is not necessarily a bad choice.
However, what he thought was his own business. Although he disagreed with the Holy Mother of Wudang, Shen Gongbao never intended to persuade her.
With a slight smile, Shen Gongbao spoke again:
"Shiji, didn't you complain before that guiding those who were to be conferred the title of gods was too troublesome? Now that Yunwu and Huang Tianhua are on the list, wouldn't they be at your mercy?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's eyes lit up immediately:
"That's right. Once Yunwu and Huang Tianhua are on the list, I'll specifically assign them the task of guiding the people of the Chan Sect. I want to see if they dare not complete the task."
Having said that, Shi Ji became more and more excited as she thought about it:
"Alright, I'll escort them there right now!"
As Shi Ji left, Shen Gongbao felt a little excited.
Because at that moment, the system's completion notification appeared out of nowhere in front of him.
[Optional Mission 2: The Prelude to the Investiture of the Gods]
[Requirement: Use the destiny of a nation to initiate the Investiture of the Gods, thus beginning the war for the investiture of the gods.]
[Duration: Three days]
[Difficulty: Two stars]
[Reward: One Star-level lottery draw]
The reward for completing the optional mission 2, the prelude to godhood, is a Star-level lottery draw.
Thinking of the rare treasures he might win in his Star-level lottery, Shen Gongbao opened the lottery interface without hesitation.
Compared to the previous Star-level lottery interface, the treasures on this lottery interface have changed somewhat, but Shen Gongbao no longer cares about the changes.
Because every treasure on the Star-level lottery interface that appeared at this moment was something that Shen Gongbao could only dream of.
There are countless examples of acquired spiritual treasures, top-grade elixirs, and various powerful formations.
"open!"
Shen Gongbao shouted in his heart and pressed the stop button.
The pointer on the disc slowed down more and more, and as it continued to slide, Shen Gongbao's mood became increasingly tense.
"The Bewitching Bell is a low-grade innate spiritual treasure. When shaken, it releases chaotic demonic sounds, causing the primordial spirits below the Taiyi Golden Immortal level to become dazed for three breaths. However, its effect is greatly reduced on those with firm minds."
"Compared to acquired spiritual treasures that can be created by human hands, the number of innate spiritual treasures is extremely limited. However, the Bewitching Bell is of a slightly lower grade, and it can only be used three times a day. Overuse will backfire on the user's primordial spirit. Once it's used up, it's not a big loss!"
"The Seven Fiends Dragon-Slaying Blade is a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure. It was forged by the human race's Yu the Great in imitation of the Xuanyuan Sword. It contains the essence of seven ferocious beasts and doubles the damage to dragons."
"A mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure is already the top-tier weapon for most Golden Immortals, and even Taiyi Golden Immortals. Moreover, the Seven Fiends Dragon Slayer Blade has the powerful effect of doubling the damage to dragons. This is definitely a rare and precious divine weapon. What a pity."
"The Xuanming Cold Soul Pearl is a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, born in the extreme northern cold abyss. Once thrown, it freezes a hundred miles of space, making it difficult for even a Golden Immortal to escape. However, it is afraid of the Southern Bright Fire."
"It's actually an extremely rare mid-grade innate spiritual treasure?"
"The preciousness of innate spiritual treasures lies in the fact that, compared to acquired spiritual treasures, innate spiritual treasures contain certain innate laws that cultivators can comprehend."
"Just like the Xuanming Cold Soul Pearl, its use in fighting enemies is only its most insignificant effect. Its true value lies in helping people comprehend the laws of ice within it."
"I want it so bad!"
Shen Gongbao murmured softly.
...
As the pointer on the disc pointed to each treasure, Shen Gongbao's heart pounded violently.
Ten seconds later, the pointer came to a complete stop.
While Shen Gongbao felt relieved, he was also extremely anxious:
"I'd better give it my all, or I'll really be wasting this Star-level reward!"
My eyes darted nervously along the pointer to the item I had drawn.
Shen Gongbao's eyes widened instantly:
"There's actually something like this?"
The Heavenly Laws and Decrees, a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure (special), are formed from the petals of the Chaos Green Lotus. Together with the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip, they constitute the "Three Books of Heavenly Dao." The first enfeoffs gods, the second legislates laws, and the third enforces the law, jointly governing the foundation of the order of the Three Realms.
Looking at the Heavenly Laws and Decrees before him, made of black jade, adorned with golden ropes, and with golden Heavenly Dao inscriptions floating on its surface, Shen Gongbao was filled with disbelief.
Why had he only heard of the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip before, and never heard of the Heavenly Laws and Decrees?
Shouldn't such a treasure have been revealed by the Heavenly Dao long ago?
The Investiture of the Gods established the positions of the gods, the Heavenly Laws and Decrees established the laws, and the God-Slaying Whip carried out the final divine punishment. This is a complete system. Why was the Heavenly Laws and Decrees missing before?
Suddenly, Shen Gongbao was startled.
The existence of only the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip means that if the user of the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip believes that the gods and immortals on the Investiture of the Gods are wrong, then he or she is wrong.
With the Heavenly Decree, things are different. The Heavenly Decree not only restricts the gods and immortals on the list, but also restricts the power of those who possess the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip.
Once the Heavenly Laws are manifested, the immortals and gods on the Investiture of the Gods will only need to act in accordance with the Heavenly Laws, and will not need to follow the instructions of their superiors.
This is clearly not what some people want to see.
What if others find out that I possess this supreme treasure that controls the operation of the Heavenly Court?
Shen Gongbao was no longer willing to think about it.
Because anyone capable of shielding the aura of the special superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Laws, is definitely not an ordinary person.
Regardless of who that person is, they are someone he cannot handle in his current state.
Silently storing the Heavenly Decree into the fragment of the Chaos Pearl, Shen Gongbao secretly resolved that he must never reveal the Heavenly Decree to the public before he possessed absolute power.
