Chapter 325
At this time.
Somewhere in the Primordial world.
Jieyin and Zhunti were paying attention to all of this.
The dark chess piece Shen Gongbao, cultivated by the Chan Sect, was on the list, which meant that the person who lured Jie Sect disciples down the mountain to fall into the scheme was gone.
Not long ago, Yuanshi Tianzun went to the West to find the two of them to think of a way.
The two agreed verbally, but did not take this matter to heart. They were mainly looking for predestined people in the East to convert, and would find a predestined person to replace Shen Gongbao's work as the opportunity arose.
But they never expected that before a replacement could be found, the Jie Sect had already sent Perfected Lord Huang Long onto the list.
The Daoist Jieyin had a compassionate face, twisting Buddhist beads in his hand, his eyes deep and serene, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world.
He said slowly: "Senior Brother Yuanshi has moved with anger. It seems that this trip to the Biyou Palace will inevitably lead to a dispute."
The Daoist Zhunti was tall and thin, with a kind face, his eyes filled with pity for all living beings.
"This Great Calamity is truly intensifying. It seems that our plans may not necessarily fail."
Jieyin smiled indifferently: "Junior Brother is right. Let us first watch this struggle between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect and see how it develops. Senior Brother Yuanshi looks like he has gone to Jinao Island; there will be a good show to watch in a while."
Except for Hongjun, the six Saints all believed that they had a certain understanding of each other's strength.
Zhunti pondered for a moment: "If Tong Tian uses the four Immortal-Slaying Swords, Senior Brother Yuanshi will certainly not be a match. Should we take action to help at that time?"
Under Jieyin's compassionate face, a meaningful smile appeared.
"There are three of the Three Pure Ones. If Senior Brother Taishang does not appear, we will just wait and see what happens. If Senior Brother Taishang comes over, we will go and fan the flames, making the Three Pure Ones fight each other, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman."
The Daoist Zhunti put his hands together and nodded slightly: "Good! Everything has cause and effect; we just need to wait for the right time."
The two smiled at each other and stood together, with Buddhist light and Daoist rhyme intertwined.
Behind them, there was a faint glimmer of Buddhist light, and golden lotuses bloomed.
The living beings on the earth were attracted, worshipped, and revered.
On the other side.
Heavenly Court.
The entire court of immortal officials was holding a morning meeting in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The immortals were lined up in two rows, the civil officials refined and the martial generals mighty, with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
With the arrival of disciples from the Jie Sect to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court could be considered to be flourishing.
The future was promising.
Haotian sat high on the throne, his expression solemn, his gaze sweeping over the officials, revealing an aura of majesty, looking down at the immortals below, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.
"Recently, there have been many affairs in the Heavenly Court. Fortunately, all of you ministers have done your best, so that all matters can proceed smoothly, especially the immortal friends from the Jie Sect, who have contributed a lot to the Heavenly Court. I am very pleased."
Haotian's voice echoed in the main hall.
The immortals responded in unison.
"This is our duty, Your Majesty is too kind."
Shi Ji and other Jie Sect disciples heard this and stepped out to salute one after another.
"Your Majesty is too polite. Since we have come to serve in the Heavenly Court, we will naturally do our best to work for the Heavenly Court."
Haotian nodded to show his approval.
"Very good! With the help of all of you, why should the Heavenly Court not flourish."
The entire morning meeting was harmonious, a scene of prosperity.
Suddenly, an immortal official ran in.
"Your Majesty, news has come from the lower realm that a conflict has broken out between the Chan and Jie Sects, and Perfected Lord Huang Long is on the list!"
Hearing this, Haotian's eyes lit up instantly, thinking he had misheard.
"What did you just say? Perfected Lord Huang Long is on the list?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Haha, very good, very good." Haotian sat on the throne, his joy overflowing.
Finally, someone from the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect was on the list. In the future, the Heavenly Court could add another fierce general, and the Heavenly Court could also avenge the day the Heavenly Court was smashed.
Coming back to his senses, Haotian felt that he was a bit unseemly. Currently, there were Jie Sect disciples in the Heavenly Court, so he had to restrain himself a bit.
Withdrawing his smile, he found an excuse.
"I meant to say, immortal friends of the Jie Sect, Perfected Lord Huang Long being on the list shows that the Jie Sect has gained an advantage in the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods and is suppressing the Chan Sect. You don't need to worry."
Shi Ji smiled lightly: "Great Heavenly Venerable, we understand."
Shi Ji and the others learned of this, although they also wanted to know what was happening in the lower realm.
But they had already gone to heaven to be officials, and without a call from the sect, they could not go down easily.
At this time.
Lower realm.
Jinao Island.
Yuanshi Tianzun brought Dao Xing Tianzun and appeared in the sky outside Jinao Island.
The power of the Saint surged around his body, and the vast and boundless Saint's might swept out, causing the entire world to tremble.
Fortunately, Jinao Island had a protective formation personally set up by Tong Tian, so it was not affected.
"Tong Tian, come out!" Yuanshi Tianzun glanced in the direction of the Biyou Palace and shouted loudly.
His voice was like rolling thunder, echoing in the sky outside Jinao Island.
The Jie Sect disciples on the island were all startled by this sudden roar, showing looks of panic, hurriedly walking out of their respective cave dwellings, all looking up at the sky.
The disciples who did not know the situation were all curious about why Yuanshi Tianzun had suddenly descended on Jinao Island.
Inside the Biyou Palace.
The Sect Leader Tong Tian was meditating on a futon, slowly opening his eyes, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"Not restraining your aura at all, you really think I don't exist."
His figure flashed and disappeared from where he was.
Subsequently, he appeared outside Jinao Island, confronting Yuanshi Tianzun in the sky.
Looking at Dao Xing Tianzun behind Yuanshi Tianzun, his expression was indifferent.
"Second Brother, you are not cultivating in the Jade Void Palace, presiding over the affairs of the Investiture of the Gods, but running to my Jinao Island in a rage, and even bringing Dao Xing Tianzun with you. What is this for?"
Yuanshi Tianzun glared, his eyes seeming to spit fire, his tone unkind.
"Tong Tian, stop playing the fool here with me. Your Jie Sect disciple killed Huang Long. He is one of my Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals. If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I will not be finished with you!"
The Sect Leader Tong Tian heard this, his brows furrowed slightly. He knew Yuanshi Tianzun's temper well, and today's matter would probably be difficult to end well.
"I have also heard about Huang Long's matter, but regarding the Investiture of the Gods, after signing the Investiture of the Gods according to Teacher's words, the disciples of the three sects entered the calamity, and life and death are determined by fate. Casualties are inevitable. Isn't it a bit too much for you to come and hold me accountable like this?"
Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, his tone firm: "Easily said! Huang Long is one of my Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals and represents the face of my Chan Sect. How can he be compared to those fur-clad and horn-wearing, wet-born and egg-born beings of your Jie Sect? To be killed by your Jie Sect person like this, how can I let it rest!"
Tong Tian frowned slightly.
"Second Brother, you say this, your Chan Sect disciples are precious, are my Jie Sect disciples inferior?"
"You have repeatedly insulted my disciples. I consider you my Second Brother, which is why I don't argue with you, but that doesn't mean I don't have a temper."
Thinking of the purpose of his coming here today, Yuanshi Tianzun still maintained a trace of rationality: "I didn't come here today to argue with you about this."
Tong Tian's brows were locked: "Then what do you want?"
"Hand over the murderer who killed Huang Long and let me take him back to the Jade Void Palace for disposal!" Yuanshi Tianzun said word by word.
Among the third-generation disciples, one who could reach the Da Luo Golden Immortal must have excellent roots and deep fortune. Perfected Lord Huang Long was not favored in the Chan Sect, and Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to take Gu Xiu back to see.
If he agreed to join the Chan Sect to make up for the position of the Twelve Golden Immortals, it would not be impossible to forgive him.
Tong Tian shook his head: "Impossible. I will discipline my Jie Sect disciples myself; it is not your turn to interfere."
