Chapter 205: Shen Gongbao's jealousy? Time to call for backup

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Receiving the news from Jieyin about the North Sea, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned.

"Jieyin and Zhunti, these two useless things, are only good at swindling and cheating; they can't even handle this little thing."

He immediately summoned the White Crane Boy.

"White Crane Boy, go find the Antarctic Immortal."

"Yes, Saint Master."

After a while, an old man with white hair, a bulging forehead, a youthful face, and a kind expression walked in from outside the Jade Void Palace.

"Teacher, you summoned me, is there something wrong?"

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the cloud bed, his gaze indifferent, his voice steady and calm.

"The seventy-two feudal lords of the North Sea, led by Yuan Futong, have been suppressed. Wen Zhong may return to Zhaoge soon. With him sitting in Zhaoge, King Zhou will not dare to act recklessly. In this way, the fortune of Yin-Shang cannot be reduced, which is unfavorable to our sect's Investiture of the Gods."

The Antarctic Immortal was Yuanshi Tianzun's first disciple.

Although he did not have the fruit status of the Twelve Golden Immortals, he was highly valued by Yuanshi Tianzun and basically did all the dirty and tiring work.

Therefore, the Antarctic Immortal knew a lot about the Investiture of the Gods and knew that the monsters led by Yuan Futong had failed to trap Wen Zhong.

"Teacher, what do you intend for me to do?"

"Go and set up a maze on the road where Wen Zhong returns, a foggy environment, to trap the army, make the army lose its way, and walk in the opposite direction of Zhaoge, to delay Wen Zhong's return to Zhaoge."

"I obey the teacher's decree."

After the Antarctic Immortal left.

A Taoist with a thin, long face, high cheekbones, wearing a black Taoist robe, and having a gloomy and mysterious temperament walked in.

"Disciple pays respects to Teacher."

Seeing this person, a trace of disgust flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's calm eyes.

"Shen Gongbao, do you have anything to do?"

"Teacher, I heard about the Investiture of the Gods among the three sects. Our Chan Sect got the lion's share. The Dao Ancestor gave the Investiture of the Gods list and the God-Beating Whip to you, Teacher. I heard that a host needs to be chosen for the Investiture of the Gods, so I boldly ask to host the Investiture of the Gods and descend the mountain to invest the gods."

"I already have a candidate for this matter." Yuanshi Tianzun's voice came out slowly, his tone indifferent but filled with endless majesty.

Hearing this, Shen Gongbao looked unwilling.

He had always been excluded and criticized in the Chan Sect. He had finally found out about the Investiture of the Gods among the three sects and thought it was his chance to turn things around, but he hadn't expected Yuanshi Tianzun to have already decided on a candidate.

"I don't know who the suitable candidate you have in mind is, Teacher?"

"This matter is irrelevant. You go down." Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes, not wanting to deal with Shen Gongbao.

"Yes." With the Saint speaking, Shen Gongbao dared not disobey.

Coming out of the Jade Void Palace, Shen Gongbao's face was full of gloom, and his eyes revealed a sinister chill.

"Who exactly is the candidate in Teacher's heart?"

Because the Twelve Golden Immortals bore the killing calamity, they could not host the Investiture of the Gods and could only be chosen from other disciples.

There were very few Chan Sect disciples. Although there were some disciples who came to Mount Kunlun to seek the Dao, they were all marginal figures and could not be entrusted with important tasks.

While deep in thought, Shen Gongbao suddenly thought of someone.

Jiang Ziya.

"Could it be that Teacher's favorite candidate is Jiang Ziya?"

But soon he doubted it again.

"This old fellow Jiang Ziya has been cultivating on Mount Kunlun for half a year without any achievements, his fortune is shallow, his foundation is inferior, and he is destined to have no connection with the immortal Dao. Teacher shouldn't choose such a piece of trash to be the host of the Investiture of the Gods, right?"

Three Immortals Island.

Gu Xiu was walking on the island.

Arriving in front of a reef, he saw Bi Xiao playing on the sea surface.

She was barefoot, squatting on the sea, observing the world under the sea.

She gently stirred the seawater with her hand.

Flower-feather birds were flying in the sky.

Occasionally, flying fish would leap out of the water, bringing up a string of crystal water droplets, causing her to giggle, her laughter as crisp and pleasant as silver bells.

The surrounding fish were attracted by her joy and gathered around, swimming around her, forming a colorful school of fish.

Suddenly, a huge sea beast emerged from the seabed, its massive body as if it were carrying a small island.

Bi Xiao leaped and flew onto the sea beast's back, standing barefoot on it.

Sensing Gu Xiu's presence, she flew down from the sea beast's back, her toes lightly touching the water surface, and came before Gu Xiu.

"Gu Xiu, why are you here?"

"Junior Uncle, I've been here for a while. Seeing you having fun, I didn't want to disturb you."

At this time, the sea beast in the sea swam over and spoke in human language.

"Dashan pays respects to the Immortal."

Gu Xiu nodded slightly: "You are the sea beast we encountered before, right? Your name is Dashan?"

"Returning to the Immortal, I didn't have this name originally. It was Lady Bi Xiao who said I was like a big mountain, so I'm called Dashan. This name is easy to raise."

It seems Bi Xiao really took it as a pet to raise.

After greeting Gu Xiu, Bi Xiao said: "Dashan, you go down, guard Three Immortals Island well, there's nothing for you here."

"Yes, Lady Bi Xiao."

Seeing the sea beast sink to the seabed, Bi Xiao said to the flower-feather bird on her head.

"Huailing, you go play elsewhere too."

Hearing Bi Xiao's words, the flower-feather bird above also spread its wings and flew away.

Seeing that only the two of them were left, Gu Xiu asked: "Junior Uncle, you sent them away, is there something important you want to tell me?"

"It's nothing, just heard from Big Sister that you refused the cave dwelling on Golden Turtle Island and want to move back to where you originally lived?"

Gu Xiu nodded.

"Junior Uncle, I like to be unrestrained and free. Living on Golden Turtle Island, under the eyes of the Grandmaster, is too restrictive and doesn't suit me."

Hearing this, Bi Xiao frowned slightly, thinking seriously, a lively light flickering in her eyes.

Then she said.

"I agree with this point, but if you leave, who will speak for me when I go out to play in the future? Big Sister and Second Sister are in the same camp."

"Master said that the current residence on Three Immortals Island will always be reserved for me. Perhaps one day when I can't make it outside, I'll come back."

Bi Xiao moved lightly to Gu Xiu's side, stretched out her jade-like slender hand, gently patted Gu Xiu's shoulder, and comforted him.

"Big Sister is right. If you can't make it outside, come back. Junior Uncle will always leave a spot for you on Three Immortals Island. Anyway, Three Immortals Island is very big."

"Always leave a spot for me?" Gu Xiu smiled.

"Then thank you, Junior Uncle."

At this moment, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Detected that the Antarctic Immortal wants to cast a spell to block Wen Zhong's return, making the army lose its way. Event options triggered; please make a choice, Host."

"Choice One: Ignore this matter, stay on Three Immortals Island. Reward: A flat peach!"

"Choice Two: Go and stop the Antarctic Immortal's scheme. Reward: A sapling of the Innate Ren Water Flat Peach Tree! (After growing, it ripens once every nine thousand years, the fruit has purple patterns and small pits, and those who eat it will live as long as heaven and earth, and as long as the sun and moon.)"

Seeing the pop-up options, Gu Xiu was a bit surprised.

He hadn't expected the Chan Sect to want to trap Wen Zhong's army and make the army lose its way.

"System, I choose two."

"Ding!"

"Choice successful. Mission time limit: half a month. Expired and void. Please complete the mission as soon as possible, Host!"

The Antarctic Immortal was not easy to deal with, Gu Xiu thought.

He had to call for backup.

He thought of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit. She was Wen Zhong's teacher and the head of the Jie Sect's female immortals. If he let her take action, dealing with the Antarctic Immortal would be a sure thing.

Coming back to his senses, he said to Bi Xiao: "Junior Uncle, I want to go to Golden Turtle Island to visit the uncles and aunts. Do you want to come with me?"

"Not interested, go by yourself." Bi Xiao waved her hand, indicating she didn't want to go to Golden Turtle Island. ===== CHAPTER 206 =====
