Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian showed a satisfied expression and nodded slightly, saying, "Now that this matter has been resolved..."
"Then, fellow Daoists, let us meet again someday!"
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zhexian's figure vanished like a ghost into the chaotic land of the Outer Heavens, as if he had never existed.
The next moment, Yuan Zhexian appeared beside Kong Xuan without warning.
At the same time, Daoist Zhunti seemed indignant. He looked at Daoist Jieyin with a furious expression and said, "Senior brother, why did you agree to that Daoist Huayuan's unreasonable request?"
"This not only makes us lose face as saints, but it even forces us to hand over your Azure Lotus Banner to that Hua Yuan Daoist!"
Upon hearing this, the Guide Daoist sighed helplessly and explained, "Junior brother, do you think your senior brother doesn't want to teach that Hua Yuan Daoist a severe lesson, or even kill him?"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "But you should know that Daoist Huayuan is no ordinary person."
"He was originally a chaotic being, containing chaotic energy within his body. His cultivation was unfathomable, almost infinitely close to the realm of a saint."
The guide continued, "Moreover, he also possesses the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure with immense power."
"In addition, there's the Tongtian Daoist behind him."
"If the two of us join forces, Tongtian Daoren will surely appear."
"At that time, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"Moreover, although Hua Yuan Daoist has not yet become a saint, his strength is already enough to contend with you and me."
"If he becomes a saint after this, his magical power and strength will surely reach a new level and become even more terrifying."
"By then, even if the two of us join forces, we will be no match for him."
Jieyin said with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, Zhunti felt a pang of anxiety, knowing full well that what Jieyin had said was true.
If what the guide said is true, then the consequences are simply unimaginable.
"Moreover, if we are severely injured as a result, how will we proceed in the next immeasurable eon?"
Jieyin continued, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Zhunti suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
If they are injured in the struggle with each other, then the advancement of the next immeasurable eon will become extremely difficult.
"A moment of patience can save you from a hundred days of trouble."
Jieyin sighed and continued, "We might as well be patient for now. After the next immeasurable calamity ends, those who were promoted by us will definitely see a great increase in their magical power, and may even directly surpass their current level."
"At that time, we'll settle all our old and new scores, and we'll make him pay the price!"
Jieyin's expression turned cold, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said through gritted teeth.
After listening, Zhunti felt that Jieyin's words made a lot of sense and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Subsequently, the figures of Jieyin and Zhunti gradually disappeared into the chaotic world of the Outer Heaven.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian, who came before Kong Xuan, made no attempt to hide his intention to take him away.
Yuan Zhexian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly, "You must have heard my conversation with the Sage Zhunti just now."
"As the first peacock in the world, and possessing five-colored divine light, you should become a disciple of my Penglai sect."
These words resonated in Kong Xuan's ears like a resounding bell.
Kong Xuan composed himself, first bowing respectfully to Yuan Zhexian, then inquiring in a slightly respectful tone, "May I ask, senior, does Penglai have a method to pursue the path of the sages?"
His voice was calm, but it contained a hint of expectation.
Yuan Zhexian smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "No."
This answer clearly surprised Kong Xuan, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
However, he did not give up and immediately asked, "Then is there a cultivation method to reach the realm of a sage?"
Yuan Zhexian shook his head again, answering firmly, "No!"
This time, Kong Xuan's expression turned somewhat grim, and his originally hopeful eyes gradually dimmed.
Yuan Zhexian took in Kong Xuan's reaction, and a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
Then, he slowly said, "Although my Penglai does not possess the Taoist techniques you have described."
"but!"
These two words resounded in Kong Xuan's ears like a thunderclap.
Kong Xuan suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed on Yuan Zhexian, who smiled and continued, "My Penglai has the ultimate method!"
"Those who push the limits fight against heaven, earth, and themselves; this is the path to transcendence!"
Yuan Zhexian's voice echoed in the air, as if it possessed an irresistible magic.
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan felt an indescribable surge of excitement.
His previously utterly dejected and lifeless expression instantly brightened, as if he had been infused with new life.
Without hesitation, Kong Xuan knelt down on both knees and shouted, "Kong Xuan greets Master!"
May Your Majesty live a long and prosperous life!
Everyone saw that in the end, it was Yuan Zhexian who took Kong Xuan as his disciple.
They all instantly understood that Yuan Zhexian had won the battle against Zhunti.
When the crowd heard Kong Xuan proclaim "May you live a long and prosperous life!" to someone who had not yet become a saint, they were somewhat surprised.
However, given that Yuan Zhexian was capable of defeating a sage, they naturally dared not have the slightest objection.
After all, Yuan Zhexian's strength was unfathomable. He was able to fight against the Sage Zhunti. No one dared to have any objections to such an existence.
Yuan Zhexian immediately waved his hand, and with Kong Xuan, they vanished from Golden Rooster Ridge in an instant, heading towards Penglai Immortal Island...
Time flies, and years pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it had been thirty-five years since King Zhou's reign began.
In that year, Lu Renjie, Lei Kun, and Lei Peng died in battle one after another, and King Zhou fought his way out of a desperate situation.
However, despite King Zhou's best efforts, he ultimately could not escape the arrangements of fate.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the three enchantresses, Daji, Consort Wang, and Hu Ximei, donned armor and launched a surprise attack on the Zhou camp under the cover of night.
However, their raid failed and they were repelled by Zhou's army.
In the end, King Zhou committed suicide by self-immolation in despair.
Just after King Zhou immolated himself, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping him completely.
With King Zhou's self-immolation, the Shang Dynasty came to an end.
The Western Zhou dynasty took its place and prospered throughout the land.
After King Wu ascended the throne, he began to enfeoff feudal lords and reward meritorious officials.
Jiang Ziya intended to build the Investiture Platform to announce to Heaven and Earth, and to the Sages, to use the Investiture List to confer titles upon the gods.
As a result of Yuan Zhexian's interference, not a single disciple of either the Chan or Jie sects made it onto the Investiture of the Gods list.
This result surprised everyone.
The subsequent 365 divine positions were finally completed.
They joined the Heavenly Court and became part of its fighting force.
Thus, the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods officially came to an end.
