Chapter 123: The Chan Sect Accelerates Its Plan, Princess Longji Visits Again

Having gained the benefits, Jieyin and Zhunti left Mount Kunlun, the two smiling at each other.

Jieyin said: "The East is indeed a place of outstanding people and divine spirits. I had intended to ask for a low-grade innate spiritual treasure to make up for the loss, but who would have thought Brother Yuanshi would agree to our request so readily? If my West had to take out such a treasure, it would ache for a long time."

Zhunti nodded and smiled: "Brother is absolutely right. My West is barren. If we can collect treasures from the East and bring them back to the West to increase our fortune, why should we worry about the West not flourishing?"

Amidst their joy, the two thought of Ma Yuan's death.

Jieyin sighed, his face showing compassion: "It is a pity that Ma Yuan was tricked and killed by the Chan Sect. He was truly a pig-like teammate. If we had not seen the heavenly secrets that my West would flourish through the Jie Sect, I would really not want to help the Chan Sect."

Zhunti nodded in agreement: "Exactly. But Ma Yuan has a connection with my West. We can only wait until the Investiture of the Gods is over and ask the Teacher to release Ma Yuan's true spirit from the Investiture of the Gods list, considering my West's poverty."

"Good!"

……

Jade Void Palace.

After sending off the two Western Sages, Yuanshi Tianzun felt very depressed and immediately called for the White Crane Boy.

"Please give your instructions, Sect Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice: "Go and call Antarctic Immortal Weng."

"Yes, Sect Master." The White Crane Boy replied and retreated from the Jade Void Palace.

After a while, Antarctic Immortal Weng walked into the Jade Void Palace.

"Teacher, I wonder what instructions you have?"

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment.

"Jiang Ziya is unwilling to leave Zhaoge, so Guang Chengzi forcibly took him to West Qi and confined him to the banks of the Wei River. You go and properly lecture Jiang Ziya, let him put down the grudges in his heart, and properly complete the Investiture of the Gods."

Antarctic Immortal Weng bowed and saluted: "Teacher, rest assured, I will go to the Wei River to find Jiang Ziya and talk to him."

Just as he was about to leave, Antarctic Immortal Weng stopped again: "Teacher, there is one thing I don't know if I should mention."

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment: "What is it? Tell me."

"Recently, the rumors in the Three Realms about my Chan Sect seem to be not very good. Teacher, should we find a way to resolve this?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was silent for a moment: "This matter is related to the Heavenly Court."

Antarctic Immortal Weng bowed slightly: "Teacher, I see that Haotian has not learned his lesson. Should we give him another beating?"

"For now, focus on dealing with the Jie Sect. As for Haotian, if my Chan Sect repeatedly causes trouble for the Heavenly Court and Haotian goes to the Zixiao Palace to complain, it will be difficult for me to explain. Let's make a note of this for now."

"I obey the decree."

……

On the other side.

Shi Ji descended to the mortal realm and returned to Golden Turtle Island to express her gratitude to everyone. The three Xiao sisters had all run to Golden Turtle Island.

At this time, on the Three Immortals Island, only Gu Xiu was left.

While he was leisurely drinking tea, he felt someone coming towards the Three Immortals Island.

Looking up, it was Princess Longji.

Gu Xiu was puzzled. What was Princess Longji here for again?

Princess Longji was also familiar with the Three Immortals Island, and soon rode the Azure Luan towards Gu Xiu's residence.

Jumping off the back of the Azure Luan, Princess Longji walked into the courtyard, her beautiful eyes shifting.

"Gu Xiu, I hope you have been well." After meeting several times and witnessing Gu Xiu's methods, Princess Longji's attitude was much better than before.

Gu Xiu put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at her: "Princess Longji, your visit is a great honor. I wonder what important matter you have?"

"It's about you letting Hong Jin serve in the heavens." Princess Longji did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"So it's about this. In the original fate, if you went to help the Chan Sect, you might indeed have had entanglements, but now that Hong Jin is serving in the heavens, you might not have any more entanglements. The Chan Sect has attacked the heavens repeatedly, and I believe you will not go to help the Chan Sect, so you don't need to take what I said before to heart, unless someone messes with the marriage line." Gu Xiu said indifferently, throwing the blame on Old Man Yuehe and Immortal Fuyuan.

Princess Longji frowned slightly: "If anyone dares to mess with my, Princess Longji's, marriage line, I will definitely not let them off!"

Gu Xiu said with a smile: "Courage is commendable. This courage is somewhat similar to the teachings of my Jie Sect. I have always believed that human effort can achieve anything."

"Human effort can achieve anything?" Princess Longji thought for a moment, looked up at Gu Xiu, and said softly: "Then in your opinion, in this world, as long as you do things, you can achieve your wishes?"

Gu Xiu shook his head, a calm smile on his face.

"Yes and no. All things in this world have variables. If you don't even have the courage to try, how can you talk about success? The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and one is escaped. All things have a glimmer of life. Some things we do may fail, but if we don't do them, we will never succeed."

Princess Longji's heart moved slightly. She had grown up in the Heavenly Court since she was a child, and the teachings she received were all about following the heavenly rules and being law-abiding.

Gu Xiu's remarks were like a flash of light to her, illuminating a corner of her heart that had never been touched.

She nodded gently.

"You are right. If you don't try some things, how do you know you can't change them? You might fail if you do them, but you will never succeed if you don't."

He noticed that Princess Longji's gaze suddenly became firm.

It seemed that her mindset had changed significantly.

While Gu Xiu was thinking, Princess Longji changed the subject.

"Coming here this time, besides asking about Hong Jin, is to express my gratitude to you. You persuaded the Shangqing Saint to send many Jie Sect disciples to serve in the heavens, which gave my Heavenly Court many powerful hands."

Gu Xiu smiled: "The Heavenly Court was rebuilt by the Dao Ancestor. It is normal for my Jie Sect to send people to serve in the heavens."

Princess Longji did not doubt Gu Xiu's words, and then looked around the courtyard.

"I heard that Yang Jian and Yang Chan are here with you. I wonder if you can call them out so I can talk to them?"

Gu Xiu said indifferently: "The two of them went to Tao Shan to visit Yao Ji and have not returned yet."

While the two were talking in the courtyard, on Golden Turtle Island, Tong Tian in the Biyou Palace was informing his disciples of something. ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
