Chapter 284: Announcing to the Three Realms, conferring divine positions

Haotian led the immortals out of the Lingxiao Palace to wait.

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

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

"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.

"Fellow Daoists of the Jie Sect, you have so many people; may I ask who is coming to hold a position in the Heavenly Court?"

Haotian could see tomorrow that Gu Xiu was the leader of this group.

But there were too many people, and he didn't know who was coming to hold a position.

Gu Xiu smiled.

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

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor Haotian looked at it. Inside, Shi Ji's cultivation was the highest, 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 hold positions this time.

"Thank you, fellow Daoists, for being willing to come to my Heavenly Court to hold positions 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.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, you are too kind."

Next, Gu Xiu introduced everyone's situation 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 Heavenly Court's duties, my Jie Sect will not interfere. Your Majesty, you can look at their abilities and give them positions. I believe Your Majesty will definitely be able to make a proper decision."

"However, currently the three sects are investing in the gods. One day in the heavens is one year on earth. I and Junior Uncle Bi Xiao cannot stay in the Heavenly Court for long, so we need Your Majesty to complete the Investiture of the Gods 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 Palace, and Haotian announced to the Three Realms.

"I, Haotian, in the name of the Lord of the Three Realms, announce to the Three Realms, today I confer Lü Yue as the Plague Emperor of the Heavenly Court!"

"Confer Shi Ji as the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain Huashan 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 sprinkled on Shi Ji and others, blessing their bodies and binding with them.

Seeing his plan go so smoothly, Gu Xiu smiled.

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

The rest were important disciples living on Jinao Island.

It would be much harder for the Chan Sect to pull them into the water, and it would also let the Chan Sect reveal flaws, which could then be used to break the Chan Sect's plans one by one.

Send the Chan Sect people onto the list.

On the Primordial land.

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

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun had just returned from Jinao Island after exchanging the Nine-Dragon Fire Cover with the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, and let the White Crane Boy call Perfected Taiyi over.

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

"Only this group of hairy and horned people of the Jie Sect would covet this little divine position of the Heavenly Court, actually taking the initiative to go to the heavens to be invested. Tong Tian is really getting more and more confused."

"However, Shi Ji inside, it seems that when our Chan Sect was laying out the plan, she was the first to be schemed against. Now that she has gone 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, looking at Perfected Taiyi below, and nodded slightly: "Taiyi, you came just in time. Take the Nine-Dragon Fire Cover back."

As he said this, he pushed his hand, and the Nine-Dragon Fire Cover slowly flew towards Perfected Taiyi.

Seeing the Nine-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 conferring the gods just now?"

Perfected Taiyi said: "Teacher, those hairy and horned people of the Jie Sect are really hopeless, actually taking the initiative to go to the heavens to hold positions, which is really enough to make people laugh their teeth off."

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

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 was delayed until now, leading to Shi Ji being 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 didn't expect Tong Tian to disregard the Saint's face and let his disciples go to the heavens to hold positions. This matter can only be re-planned and others replaced."

"Yes, Teacher."

Outside the Jade Void Palace, at the place of discussing the Dao, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void gathered.

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

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

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

"This group of hairy and horned people of the Jie Sect really has no bottom line. As disciples of a Saint, they actually take the initiative to work for the Heavenly Court."

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

"Haha, you want hairy and horned people to have brains; are you making things difficult for them?" Fear-Leaving Sun laughed, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Haha, that's true." The rest of the Golden Immortals followed with laughter, their 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 when they heard this.

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

The White Crane Boy shook his head: "Junior Uncle, White Crane doesn't know. The Sect Leader didn't inform me."

The Twelve Golden Immortals looked at each other, secretly guessing the reason for Yuanshi Tianzun's summoning, but they didn't dare to delay, and followed the White Crane Boy to the Jade Void Palace one after another.

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

Entering the palace, they found Perfected Taiyi there, which made the rest of the 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: "Calling you here today is because there is something I want to ask your opinion on."

Guangchengzi asked: "I don't know, Teacher, what are you talking about?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently: "Currently, the Investiture of the Gods has produced strange numbers, and many of our Chan Sect's plans have been destroyed. Currently, Shi Ji is also holding a position in the heavens, and Taiyi's original plan may not work, so I want to ask your opinion."

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

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

As a marginal person of the Chan Sect who had always wanted to be valued, True Person Huanglong naturally wouldn't let this opportunity go and was the first to stand out.

"Teacher, the 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 matter of attacking Shang as soon as possible."

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

True Person Qingxu Moral mocked: "Huanglong, what you said is equal to not saying anything. Who doesn't know that our Chan Sect wants to support Xiqi to attack Shang? But don't forget that attacking Shang is secondary. Our purpose is to deal with the Jie Sect, using the lives of Jie Sect disciples to complete the killing calamity on us. If the Jie Sect doesn't enter the calamity, it doesn't make any sense for us to let Xiqi fight to Chaoge to overthrow the Yin Shang."

True Person Cihang nodded: "Junior Brother Qingxu is right. The Jie Sect is our purpose. If we can't pull the Jie Sect into the water, everything will be meaningless."

Fear-Leaving Sun raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't 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 don't. If we don't lure them into the calamity, they won't participate in the Investiture of the Gods."

Guangchengzi stood out at the right time.

"Not bad. So we have to anger the Jie Sect bit by bit, let the Jie Sect disciples retaliate against us, and thus fall into our schemes. Shi Ji was originally a suitable target. If we take action to kill her, it won't cause the Uncle's fury, so we can cycle forward and test the bottom line of the Jie Sect. If we kill important disciples of the Jie Sect at the beginning, it will anger the Uncle, let the Jie Sect's ten thousand immortals actively enter the calamity, and lose the opportunity to break the Jie Sect one by one, which is very unfavorable for us."

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi's words are very true. Senior Brother Huanglong, your brain can't think of good ideas. My suggestion is that you don't suggest it." Manjusri Guangfa Heavenly Venerable raised his head slightly and said with disdain.

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

Yuanshi Tianzun didn't stop them and just watched 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 a Qi Immortal Ma Yuan. Why not change the target to this person."

"And Shi Ji hasn't brought the boys in the cave to the heavens yet. We can also target her boys. If Shi Ji is angered and comes to the lower realm to seek revenge, the disciple can also take the opportunity to send Shi Ji onto the list. If Shi Ji ignores the boys, 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 responded in unison.

Perfected Taiyi was the most favored disciple besides Guangchengzi.

Getting a pile of magic treasures bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun had long made others envious.

His casual suggestion was adopted by Yuanshi Tianzun, which made others even more jealous.

Guangchengzi was a bit 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 having their own little thoughts in their hearts.

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

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

The Twelve Golden Immortals bowed and retreated.

Coming out of the Jade Void Palace, Perfected Taiyi smiled.

"Nezha was framed by the Jie Sect thieves and needs to be resurrected as soon as possible. There is no time to plan too much, so I will trouble you brothers to help with killing Ma Yuan."

True Person Huanglong was the first to speak: "Junior Brother Taiyi, rest assured, why don't I help you kill Ma Yuan?"

In order to be valued, Huanglong could be said to be eager to show off in everything.

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

"Senior Brother Huanglong is kind-hearted and busy for the Chan Sect on weekdays. Junior Brother won't trouble Senior Brother."

As he said this, he looked at True Person Dao-Conduct and True Person Qingxu Moral.

"I don't know if the two Junior Brothers Dao-Conduct and Qingxu can help me with this favor?"

True Person Dao-Conduct and True Person Qingxu Moral nodded.

"Since Senior Brother Taiyi has spoken, how can we refuse?"

True Person 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 True Person Dao-Conduct and True Person Qingxu Moral, riding on auspicious clouds and talking and laughing.

True Person Huanglong sighed.

They were all Twelve Golden Immortals, but he was a level lower, flattering his brothers in various ways, but no one was willing to pay attention to him.

True Person Cihang, True Person Puxian, and Manjusri Guangfa Heavenly Venerable in front were also preparing to leave. True Person Huanglong saw this and hurriedly chased after them.

"Junior Brother Cihang, wait a moment."

True Person Cihang, True Person Puxian, and Manjusri Guangfa Heavenly Venerable heard the call, stopped their steps, and turned to look at True Person Huanglong who was rushing over.

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

His smile carried a bit of playfulness and contempt.

Suddenly called by the marginal person among the Twelve Golden Immortals, True Person Cihang frowned slightly and looked at Huanglong.

"I don't know, Senior Brother Huanglong, what is the matter with calling me?"

True Person 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 don't know when it can be sent over."

Hearing this, True Person Puxian and Manjusri Guangfa Heavenly Venerable on the side burst into laughter.

"I thought it was some urgent matter; it turned out to be for a crane." True Person Puxian said playfully: "Cihang, it seems you shouldn't talk nonsense in the future."

"Indeed, Senior Brother Huanglong, as the Three-Nothing True Person, 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 Heavenly Venerable also teased.

True Person Cihang's face sank.

"I thought it was something; it's just a crane. After returning to Mount Putuo, I will send a boy to Magu Cave."

True Person Huanglong saw this and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Junior Brother. Senior Brother will definitely remember this favor. If Junior Brother has anything in the future, Senior Brother will definitely try his best to help."

True Person Puxian 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."

True Person Cihang didn't respond anymore and left with True Person Puxian and Manjusri Guangfa Heavenly Venerable riding on auspicious clouds.

Seeing everyone gone, leaving only himself, True Person Huanglong sighed.

"All the brothers are in pairs, only I have no one willing to pay attention to me, and I don't know how to join the team of brothers." ===== CHAPTER 285 =====
