Chapter 170

"Disciple."

While Gu Xiu was concentrating on his cultivation, a crisp, pleasant voice reached him.

He opened his eyes and looked toward the two bamboo houses in front of him.

A fairy with a stunning appearance and elegant temperament, as if she had walked out of a painting, stood before the bamboo house calling to him.

Upon seeing her, Gu Xiu stood up and went over to pay his respects.

"Master, is something the matter?"

"Your grandmaster has suddenly summoned all the disciples of the sect to return. I do not know the reason, but I must return to the sect for a period of time. I may not be able to guide your cultivation for a while."

"Since I am leaving, I will tell you about the sect. I am a disciple of the Jie Sect, named Yun Xiao. Since you are my disciple, you are a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect. Cultivate well here and do not tarnish the prestige of my Jie Sect."

Gu Xiu was stunned, as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.

Yun Xiao.

The Jie Sect.

This is the Primordial, the Investiture of the Gods!

One must know that in the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect suffered a crushing defeat, and the Sect Leader was imprisoned.

Others were either killed, captured, or imprisoned.

The remaining disciples on the run were constantly hunted down by the Chan Sect and the Western Sect.

The greatest sect of the Primordial was thus destroyed, existing in name only.

Tragic, truly tragic!

He just happened to be a disciple of the Jie Sect; isn't this Heaven trying to destroy him!

Seeing Gu Xiu's dull expression.

Yun Xiao thought he was reluctant to part, and couldn't help but chuckle, tenderness revealing itself in her clear eyes.

"I am returning, it is not as if I am not coming back. Wait until I know why your grandmaster called the disciples back, then I will return, or you can return to the Three Immortals Island with me. I have two younger sisters, and I will let them meet you too."

Now that he knew this was the Investiture of the Gods.

The Investiture of the Gods would only last a short twenty-eight years.

Returning might mean an eternal farewell.

When they meet again, he would have to call her the Goddess of the Response to the World.

For a dignified Quasi-Saint to be given such a title, it was simply the Chan Sect using the power of the Investiture of the Gods to humiliate people.

Seemingly having accepted Yun Xiao's identity and the fact that he was a disciple of the Jie Sect.

Gu Xiu felt irritated in his heart.

Whether the Jie Sect perishes or not, he does not care.

But Yun Xiao is his master; a teacher for a day is a father for life.

How could he watch helplessly as Yun Xiao is schemed against by the Chan Sect.

He looked up at the sky.

"Since I am Yun Xiao's disciple, you still want to conduct the Investiture of the Gods?"

At this moment.

A mechanical voice appeared in his mind.

"Ding!"

"The Heavens God-Selection System loading progress 100%, loading complete. Host information confirmed, binding successful."

"Detected that the Investiture of the Gods is approaching, Yun Xiao intends to return to the Jie Sect. Triggering selectable events, please make a choice, Host."

"Choice One: Return to the Three Immortals Island with Yun Xiao to cultivate in seclusion, reward: a top-grade cave dwelling!"

"Choice Two: Build a temple here, live in seclusion, silently pray for the Jie Sect, and wait for the Great Calamity to pass, reward: an ancient temple, a wooden fish!"

"Choice Three: Stay here, wait for the right moment, and seize a glimmer of survival for the Jie Sect, reward: the 12th-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus!"

Hearing the system's voice, Gu Xiu's face darkened.

A hundred years, he had relied on himself to cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal realm, and the damn system finally finished loading.

He looked at the options.

Option one, if he returned to the Three Immortals Island with Yun Xiao, the reward was a top-grade cave dwelling.

Currently, the Investiture of the Gods had not yet begun. Relying on his familiarity with the plot, he might be able to gain an advantage for the Jie Sect.

But after thinking about it, he was a third-generation disciple, his words carried no weight, and no one would listen to him.

Staying here and waiting for the right moment was better.

Option two, Gu Xiu ignored it directly. If praying were useful, why would there still be so many disputes in the world?

He recited silently in his heart.

"System, I choose three."

"Ding!"

"Choice successful, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the 12th-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus!"

With the 12th-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, he had much more confidence to walk through the Investiture of the Gods.

Gu Xiu clenched his fists.

Seeing Gu Xiu's eyes suddenly become firm.

Yun Xiao was puzzled, just as she was about to speak, Gu Xiu said.

"Master, Grandmaster must have important matters to summon you. You go back first. I have lived here for over a hundred years, and I plan to pack up properly before heading to the Three Immortals Island to find you."

Yun Xiao was stunned, feeling that Gu Xiu had suddenly matured a lot in an instant. She didn't know if it was her illusion, and she was silent for a moment.

"My Jie Sect teaches without discrimination. Any living creature with a heart for the Dao and seeking immortal fate can listen to the teachings outside if they go to Jinao Island."

"A hundred years ago, I traveled here and saw your sincere heart for the Dao. However, you are a human and have not cultivated, so your lifespan is short, and you could never reach Jinao Island."

"Therefore, I spent a hundred years here teaching you the method of cultivation as a form of travel."

"I didn't expect your comprehension to be excellent, reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm in just a hundred years, which is enough to protect yourself in the human world. If you want to stay here for a while, that's fine. If you encounter trouble you cannot solve, you can come to the Three Immortals Island, and I will back you up."

"Disciple, I will remember." Gu Xiu cupped his hands.

Yun Xiao nodded slightly, turned to look at the sky, and left stepping on auspicious clouds.

Gu Xiu cupped his hands and watched her go.

Only when Yun Xiao's figure disappeared did he lower his hands.

The Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity was because Yuanshi Tianzun refused to let the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void go to heaven to be officials, and indulged his disciples in insulting Haotian, leading Haotian to go to the Zixiao Palace to cry to Hongjun Daozu.

Only then was the Investiture of the Gods list created, letting the disciples of the three sects enter the calamity and be on the list.

This time, Tongtian called everyone back, wanting the disciples to quietly recite the Huangting Scripture and not participate in the Great Calamity.

But Gu Xiu knew this could not save the Jie Sect.

If the sect is closed, who will the Chan Sect play with? If no one fills the list, the Great Calamity will not disappear, the killing calamity on the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void will not disappear, and there is a risk of falling at any time.

To save the Twelve Golden Immortals, Yuanshi Tianzun would definitely try every means to let the Jie Sect disciples fill the list.

Closing the sect makes it easier for the Ren and Chan sects to defeat them one by one.

He must plan carefully.

Yun Xiao left, and suddenly being alone, Gu Xiu was a bit unaccustomed to it.

A hundred years ago, he came here to find the traces of immortals and seek the method of immortality, and this was still a barren land.

Currently, peach blossoms are everywhere. It was Yun Xiao who turned the barren mountain into a peach garden, and now it is his dojo.

He had actually enjoyed these days living with a beautiful master.

As a result, being told it was the Investiture of the Gods, he hated it!

Not letting him live a good life with his beautiful master, they are all enemies, and he will definitely retaliate against them all.

Accepting the fact that this is the Investiture of the Gods, Gu Xiu began to recall the events of the Investiture of the Gods and think of countermeasures.

The beginning of the Investiture of the Gods was King Zhou offering incense at the Nuwa Temple and writing a poem to blaspheme Nuwa, which caused Nuwa to be furious and send the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb to harm the fortune of the Yin-Shang.

After that, it was how the three demons disrupted the court and harmed the loyal and good.

After that, it was Shi Ji Niang Niang, as the first Jie Sect disciple to be schemed against.

Nezha plucked the Qiankun Bow, shot the Zhentian Arrow, and killed Bi Yun boy.

Shi Ji Niang Niang went out of her cave to seek justice for her disciple, falling right into the Chan Sect's scheme, and died to be on the list.

Only by destroying the direction of the Investiture of the Gods can he disrupt the Chan Sect's long-standing plans and seize a glimmer of survival for himself and the Three Xiao.

Calculating the time, there is still some time before King Zhou offers incense. Gu Xiu plans to familiarize himself with the 12th-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus before heading to Zhaoge.
