Chapter 115

Haotian led the gods out of the Lingxiao Hall to wait.

Seeing Gu Xiu bring more than thirty people over, Haotian was a little surprised.

He thought the Jie Sect would send at most one or two people, but he didn't expect so many people.

"The Jie Sect immortals pay respects to the Great Heavenly Venerable." The Jie Sect immortals bowed slightly.

Haotian nodded, his gaze quickly sweeping over the Jie Sect immortals.

"Jie Sect fellow Daoists, there are so many of you. May I ask who is coming to the Heavenly Court to take up a post?"

Haotian could clearly see that Gu Xiu was the leader of this trip.

But there were too many people, and he didn't know who was coming to take up a post.

Gu Xiu laughed.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, except for me and Junior Uncle Bi Xiao, the other Jie Sect immortals are all here to take up posts in the Heavenly Court."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian looked at them. Among them, Shi Ji had the highest cultivation, already a Taiyi Golden Immortal, the Four Sages of Nine Dragon Island were Golden Immortals, and Lü Yue was a Golden Immortal.

They were all the backbone of the Jie Sect, which showed that the Jie Sect was not perfunctory in coming to the heavens to take up posts this time.

"Thank you all fellow Daoists for being willing to come to my Heavenly Court to take up posts and help my Heavenly Court. I am very grateful. The Heavenly Court will definitely provide a platform for everyone to display their talents and work together for the peace of the Three Realms."

The Jie Sect immortals returned the salute.

"The Great Heavenly Venerable is too kind."

Next, Gu Xiu introduced the situation of everyone to Haotian.

Haotian was very satisfied after hearing it.

Seeing that everything that needed to be explained had been explained, Gu Xiu said: "Your Majesty, the Jie Sect will not interfere with the Heavenly Court's duties. Your Majesty, you can give them posts according to their abilities. I believe Your Majesty will definitely be able to make proper decisions."

"However, the three sects are currently investing. One day in the heavens is one year on earth. Junior Uncle Bi Xiao and I cannot stay in the Heavenly Court for too long. We still need Your Majesty to complete the Investiture as soon as possible, so that I can go back to report to my Sect Leader."

Haotian glanced at Gu Xiu and then said loudly: "Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured. This matter will not take long."

Next, everyone went to the Lingxiao Hall, and Haotian announced to the Three Realms.

"I, Haotian, in the name of the Lord of the Three Realms, announce to the Three Realms that today I confer Lü Yue as the Plague-Suppressing Haotian Great Emperor!"

"Confer Shi Ji as the Great Emperor of the Western Peak Mount Hua Golden Heaven Shun Sheng!"

"Confer Yu Hua as the Golden Mansion Star Lord!"

"Confer Hu Lei as the Wood Mansion Star Lord!"

"Confer Hong Jin as the Dragon Virtue Star Lord!"

"Confer Wang Mo, Yang Sen, Gao Youqian, and Li Xingba as the Four Heavenly Kings of my Heavenly Court!"

The voice was as loud as a bell, resounding throughout the Heavenly Court and spreading throughout the Three Realms.

Causing the wind and clouds to change color, and auspicious light to overflow.

As Haotian's voice fell, the fortune of the Heavenly Court fell on Shi Ji and the others, blessing their bodies and binding with them.

Seeing that his plan was so smooth, Gu Xiu smiled.

Except for Wen Zhong, the Jie Sect disciples who were openly involved in the calamity were all sent to the heavens.

The remaining ones were important disciples living on Jin'ao Island.

It would be much harder for the Chan Sect to drag them into the water, and it would also make the Chan Sect reveal flaws, at which time they could conversely break the Chan Sect's plans one by one.

Send the Chan Sect's people to the list.

On the Primordial land.

The Heavenly Court conferred the divine positions, resounding throughout the Primordial heaven and earth.

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun had just returned from Jin'ao Island after exchanging the Nine Dragon Fire Cover with the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, and he asked the White Crane Boy to call Perfected Taiyi over.

Suddenly hearing Haotian announce the divine positions to the Three Realms, he mocked.

"Only this group of fur-clad and horn-wearing people of the Jie Sect would covet these divine positions of the Heavenly Court, actually taking the initiative to go to the heavens to be invested. Tong Tian is becoming more and more confused."

"However, Shi Ji inside seems to be the first one to be schemed against when my Chan Sect was laying out the plan. With her going to the heavens, isn't this plan falling through?"

While pondering, Perfected Taiyi walked into the Jade Void Palace and saluted Yuanshi Tianzun above.

"Disciple Taiyi pays respects to Teacher."

Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze was calm as he looked at Perfected Taiyi below and nodded slightly: "Taiyi, you came just in time. Take the Nine Dragon Fire Cover back."

Saying this, he pushed his hand, and the Nine Dragon Fire Cover slowly flew toward Perfected Taiyi.

Seeing the Dragon Fire Cover being retrieved, Perfected Taiyi was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Teacher."

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Perfected Taiyi: "Taiyi, do you know about Haotian's investiture just now?"

Perfected Taiyi said: "Teacher, those fur-clad and horn-wearing people of the Jie Sect are truly hopeless, actually taking the initiative to go to the heavens to take up posts. It is truly laughable."

Yuanshi Tianzun was silent for a moment and spoke slowly: "What I want to say is not this matter, but that Shi Ji is also on the list of investiture."

Hearing this, Perfected Taiyi frowned slightly.

"Reporting to Teacher, originally at this time, I should have killed Shi Ji, but because of Nezha's matter, it has been delayed until now, causing Shi Ji to be conferred as a god by the Heavenly Court. Currently, I am afraid I cannot deal with her."

Yuanshi Tianzun was also angry in his heart: "We did not expect Tong Tian to disregard the Saint's face and let his disciples go to the heavens to take up posts. This matter can only be re-planned and others replaced."

"Yes, Teacher."

Outside the Jade Void Palace, where they discussed the Dao, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void gathered.

They were originally discussing the Dao well and showing off their insights to each other.

But hearing about Haotian conferring the Jie Sect immortals, they mocked.

Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun was the first to snort coldly, his face full of disdain.

"This group of fur-clad and horn-wearing people of the Jie Sect truly has no bottom line. As Saint's disciples, they actually take the initiative to work for the Heavenly Court."

"If we want to, we can smash the Heavenly Court at will. They go to such a Heavenly Court; do they have no brains?" Chijingzi echoed, his eyes full of contempt.

"Haha, if you want fur-clad and horn-wearing people to have brains, are you making things difficult for them?" Juliusun laughed, his tone full of mockery.

"Haha, that's right." The other Golden Immortals followed with loud laughter, the laughter full of disdain and contempt for the Jie Sect.

At this time, the White Crane Boy came over and saluted.

"Many Junior Uncles, the Sect Leader wants to see you."

The Twelve Golden Immortals were confused.

"White Crane Junior Nephew, what does Teacher want with us?"

The White Crane Boy shook his head: "Junior Uncle, White Crane does not know. The Sect Leader did not inform me."

The Twelve Golden Immortals looked at each other, secretly guessing the reason for Yuanshi Tianzun's summons, but they did not dare to delay, so they got up one after another and followed the White Crane Boy toward the Jade Void Palace.

Not long after, they arrived at the Jade Void Palace.

Entering the palace, they found Perfected Taiyi there, which made the other Twelve Golden Immortals confused, and they respectfully stepped forward to salute Yuanshi: "Disciple pays respects to Teacher."

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was calm, his gaze sweeping over the disciples: "I called you here today because there is something I want to ask for your opinions."

Guangchengzi asked: "I wonder, Teacher, what are you talking about?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently: "Currently, in the matter of the Investiture, unusual variables have arisen. Many of my Chan Sect's plans have been disrupted. Currently, Shi Ji is also taking up a post in the heavens. Perfected Taiyi's original plan may not work, so I want to ask for your opinions."

Yuanshi Tianzun's words made the Twelve Golden Immortals quiet down.

This was an opportunity to show themselves and change their status in Yuanshi Tianzun's heart, so all Twelve Golden Immortals were thoughtful.

As a marginal person of the Chan Sect who had always wanted to be valued, Perfected Huanglong naturally would not let go of this opportunity and was the first to stand out.

"Teacher, this disciple feels that Shi Ji is just an outer disciple of the Jie Sect and is irrelevant. What we need to support is Xiqi, so we should increase the support for Xiqi and let Xiqi carry out the crusade against Shang as soon as possible."

Perfected Huanglong thought that as long as he followed the general direction, there would definitely be no mistake, just flattering.

Perfected Qingxu Daode mocked: "Huanglong, what you said is equal to not saying anything. Who doesn't know that my Chan Sect wants to support Xiqi in the crusade against Shang? But don't forget that the crusade against Shang is only secondary; our purpose is to deal with the Jie Sect and use the lives of Jie Sect disciples to complete the killing calamity on us. If the Jie Sect does not enter the calamity, it doesn't matter if we let Xiqi fight to Chaoge and overthrow the Yin Shang."

Cihang Daoren nodded: "Junior Brother Qingxu is right. The Jie Sect is our purpose. If we cannot drag the Jie Sect into the water, everything will be meaningless."

Juliusun raised his mouth and could not help but mock a few words.

"Senior Brother Huanglong, you have put the cart before the horse. We bear the killing calamity, but the Jie Sect disciples do not. If we don't lure them into the calamity, they won't participate in the Investiture."

Guangchengzi stood out at the right time.

"Not bad, so we must anger the Jie Sect bit by bit, let the Jie Sect disciples retaliate against us, and thus fall into our scheme. Shi Ji was originally a suitable target. If we take action to kill her, it will not cause the Junior Uncle's anger, and we can test the Jie Sect's bottom line step by step. If we kill important Jie Sect disciples at the beginning, it will anger the Junior Uncle and make the Jie Sect immortals take the initiative to enter the calamity, which will lose the opportunity to break the Jie Sect one by one, which is very unfavorable to us."

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi is right. Senior Brother Huanglong, your brain can't think of good ideas. My suggestion is that you don't suggest anything." Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun raised his head slightly and said disdainfully.

Inside the Jade Void Palace, the Twelve Golden Immortals ridiculed and mocked Perfected Huanglong one after another.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not stop them and had been watching coldly from the sidelines.

Then, he looked at Perfected Taiyi.

"Taiyi, what is your opinion?"

Hearing the inquiry, Perfected Taiyi stood out.

"Teacher, on Skeleton Mountain, besides Shi Ji, there is also an Yiqi Immortal Ma Yuan. Why not change the target to this person?"

"And Shi Ji hasn't brought the attendants in her cave dwelling to the heavens yet. We can also target her attendants. If Shi Ji is angered and comes to the lower realm to seek revenge, this disciple can also take the opportunity to send Shi Ji to the list. If Shi Ji ignores the attendants, we can also use this to disgust her."

Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "Very well, then let's do as you say."

Then he looked at the others.

"You assist Taiyi from the side."

"Obey Teacher's decree." The rest of the Twelve Golden Immortals bowed and replied in unison.

Perfected Taiyi, as the disciple most favored besides Guangchengzi.

Being bestowed with a pile of magic treasures by Yuanshi Tianzun had long made the others envious.

That his casual suggestion was adopted by Yuanshi Tianzun made the others even more jealous.

Guangchengzi was a little worried. Besides Antarctic Immortal Weng, Perfected Taiyi was the most likely to replace him as the most favored disciple among the Twelve Golden Immortals.

While the Twelve Golden Immortals were each having their own little thoughts in their hearts.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the auspicious clouds and looked at the Twelve Golden Immortals below.

"Alright, you go down and plan well how to kill Ma Yuan."

The Twelve Golden Immortals bowed and retreated.

Exiting the Jade Void Palace, Perfected Taiyi laughed.

"Nezha was framed by the Jie Sect thieves and needs to be resurrected as soon as possible. I don't have time to plan too much, so I will trouble all Junior Brothers to help with killing Ma Yuan."

Perfected Huanglong was the first to speak: "Junior Brother Taiyi, rest assured, let me help you kill Ma Yuan?"

In order to be valued, Huanglong could be said to be eager to stand out in everything.

But hearing Perfected Huanglong express his willingness to take action, Perfected Taiyi frowned slightly. With Perfected Huanglong's ability, if he really let him help, he might mess things up.

"Senior Brother Huanglong has a kind heart and is busy for the Chan Sect on weekdays. Junior Brother will not trouble you."

Saying this, he looked at Perfected Daoxing and Perfected Qingxu Daode.

"I wonder if the two Junior Brothers Daoxing and Qingxu can do this favor for me?"

Perfected Daoxing and Perfected Qingxu Daode nodded.

"Since Senior Brother Taiyi has spoken, how could we refuse."

Perfected Huanglong on the side blinked, really wanting to tell Perfected Taiyi that he didn't feel busy at all, and wanted to ask if he could follow.

But Perfected Taiyi had already left with Perfected Daoxing and Perfected Qingxu Daode, riding on auspicious clouds and laughing.

Perfected Huanglong sighed.

They were all Twelve Golden Immortals, but he was inferior to others, flattering his fellow disciples in various ways, but no one was willing to pay attention to him.

Cihang Daoren, Puxian Daoren, and Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun in front were also preparing to leave. Seeing this, Perfected Huanglong hurriedly chased after them.

"Junior Brother Cihang, wait a moment."

Cihang Daoren, Puxian Daoren, and Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun heard the call, stopped, and turned to look at Perfected Huanglong who was rushing over.

Puxian Daoren laughed: "Huanglong, you are looking for Cihang; is there something the matter? We don't have time to pay attention to you."

The smile carried a bit of playfulness and contempt.

Suddenly being called by a marginal person among the Twelve Golden Immortals, Cihang Daoren frowned slightly and looked at Huanglong.

"I wonder, Senior Brother Huanglong, what is the matter with calling me?"

Perfected Huanglong scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Junior Brother Cihang, calling you is nothing, it's just that before, the Jie Sect thieves stole our crane, and Junior Brother promised to give me a crane. I wonder when it can be sent over."

Hearing this, Puxian Daoren and Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun on the side laughed loudly.

"I thought it was some urgent matter; it turns out it was for a crane." Puxian Daoren said playfully: "Cihang, it seems you should not talk nonsense in the future."

"Indeed, Senior Brother Huanglong, as a Three-No Immortal, only has one crane in his hand. If you don't give it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of the entanglement." Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun also teased.

Cihang Daoren's face sank.

"I thought it was something else. It's just a crane. After returning to Mount Putuo, I will send an attendant to Magu Cave."

Seeing this, Perfected Huanglong hurriedly said: "Thank you, Junior Brother. Senior Brother will definitely remember this kindness. If you have anything in the future, Senior Brother will definitely try his best to help."

Puxian Daoren laughed: "Senior Brother Huanglong, are you hoping that Junior Brother Cihang has something?"

Huanglong heard this and hurriedly waved his hand, explaining: "Junior Brother Puxian, Junior Brother Cihang, I didn't mean that."

Cihang Daoren did not respond anymore and left with Puxian Daoren and Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun on auspicious clouds.

Seeing that everyone had left, leaving only himself, Perfected Huanglong sighed.

"All the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers are in pairs, only I have no one willing to pay attention to me. I don't know how to join the team of Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers."
