Chapter 430: The unease of the Saints

Shouyang Mountain.

Eight Views Palace.

Taishang Laojun sits on the prayer mat, closing his eyes and pondering.

Suddenly, his mind moves, and he slowly opens his eyes while meditating.

Eyes full of confusion.

"Strange, why is there sudden unease?"

Taiqing Laozi frowns slightly.

He is a Saint, one of the six people with the highest combat power in the Primordial world besides Hongjun. What could happen to make him feel uneasy?

Pondering for a long time, he pinches his fingers to calculate, but cannot calculate the reason.

"Strange..." It has been too long since he had this feeling. If it appears suddenly, something big must happen.

Taiqing Laozi is a calm and cautious person, and he fundamentally does not believe that this sudden unease is accidental.

"Could it be that something went wrong with the Investiture of the Gods? But I only have one disciple, Xuan Du, and even if the immeasurable calamity comes, I can protect Xuan Du."

While pondering, for the sake of stability, Taiqing Laozi still calls Xuan Du Grand Master over.

Ever since he returned from signing the Investiture of the Gods list at the Zixiao Palace, Taiqing Laozi has instructed Xuan Du Grand Master to stay in the cave and cultivate well, and not to go out, so as not to be involved in the calamity.

Suddenly being called over, although he is very confused in his heart, Xuan Du Grand Master still hurriedly heads to the Eight Views Palace to meet Taiqing Laozi.

Seeing Taiqing Laozi sitting on the prayer mat with his eyes closed tightly, Xuan Du Grand Master steps forward and bows.

"Disciple, Xuan Du, pays respects to Master!"

Taiqing Laozi opens his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on Xuan Du.

"Xuan Du, heaven and earth are currently facing a great calamity, and the three sects need to enter the tribulation. I originally wanted you to cultivate in peace at the Eight Views Palace, but I feel that something big is about to happen in the human world. You go to the mortal world to see what happened."

Xuan Du Grand Master nods: "Disciple accepts the order."

Pausing for a moment, Xuan Du continues: "Master, heaven and earth are currently facing a great calamity. If I am unfortunately involved in it during this trip, how should I deal with it? Should I take action?"

Taiqing Laozi shakes his head slightly: "The Ren Sect establishes the sect with the Dao of inaction. You don't need to participate too much in the struggle of the Investiture of the Gods, but you must not take it lightly. Just pay close attention to the changes in the situation. The Investiture of the Gods is heaven's mandate, and there is a fixed number. Forcible intervention may lead to heaven's punishment. Although the Jie Sect can gain an advantage for a while, the Dao Ancestor will not sit idly by."

Xuan Du Grand Master says respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for your teaching. Disciple will keep it in mind."

Taiqing Laozi nods slightly and closes his eyes: "Go. Be low-key when you go out, and don't have disputes with the Jie Sect disciples, so as not to get involved in unnecessary trouble."

In Taiqing Laozi's view, Xuan Du has no killing tribulation on him. Currently, the Investiture of the Gods has suffered setbacks one after another, and several Golden Immortals have been listed. He will not send Xuan Du to get involved in the Chan Sect's affairs.

Otherwise, if something happens to Xuan Du, the inheritance of the Ren Sect will be broken.

The Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West.

Mount Sumeru.

Because Daoist Zhunti lost Kong Xuan's whereabouts in Western Qi, he has been searching for him to no avail.

He had to return to the Western Sect to seek help from Daoist Jieyin.

The two tried to deduce, but the heavenly secrets were obscure.

"Kong Xuan's whereabouts are unknown. Someone should have covered up the heavenly secrets for him," Daoist Jieyin says.

The two sit opposite each other, both with meaningful expressions on their faces.

Zhunti shows a look of suffering, his brows furrowed: "Senior Brother, I don't know why I always feel uneasy in my heart after returning from Western Qi. It seems that something big is about to happen in the heavenly secrets."

Daoist Jieyin has a bitter and sad face: "Me too. It seems that there will be changes in the Investiture of the Gods again."

The two think of the heavenly secrets they saw. The Western Sect will flourish in the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

Suddenly, the sorrow in their hearts lessens quite a bit.

Daoist Jieyin speaks slowly: "My Western Sect did not participate in the Investiture of the Gods. Even if there are variables in the Investiture, it will be the Chan and Jie Sects that will suffer heavy losses, which has nothing to do with us. Let's wait and see."

For this proposal, Daoist Zhunti agrees very much: "Senior Brother's words are very true."

Following that, Daoist Jieyin puts his hands together, his face full of heartache.

"Junior Brother, there are too many variables in this Investiture of the Gods. Originally, we also discovered several Jade Void Golden Immortals who have a predestined relationship with my West among the Chan Sect Golden Immortals, but they ended up on the list. This is another great loss for my Western Sect. We can only wait for the Investiture of the Gods to end and ask the teacher to let them out and return to my West."

"Good! My West is barren. I believe that if we explain the situation to the teacher, the teacher will definitely agree to this request, considering that we have been wholeheartedly working for the revitalization of the West all these years."

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun sits on the prayer mat, with laws flowing on his body.

He thought that letting Jieyin and Zhunti take action against Kong Xuan would definitely be foolproof, after all, Kong Xuan was just a Quasi-Saint and could not be the opponent of a Saint.

But while meditating, Yuanshi Tianzun opens his eyes slightly, his eyes full of confusion.

"Strange, why did I suddenly feel a palpitation? Could it be that something is about to happen?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's primordial spirit connects to the Heavenly Dao to deduce, wanting to find the source, but gains nothing.

Just as his mind moves, he notices Guang Chengzi asking to see him outside.

Following that, the White Crane Boy comes in and asks for instructions: "Old Master, Junior Uncle Guang Chengzi is asking to see you outside."

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression is calm, his voice majestic: "Let him in."

After the White Crane Boy goes out, Guang Chengzi soon enters and bows to Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Disciple pays respects to Master!"

Yuanshi Tianzun sitting above raises his eyes slightly, "Guang Chengzi, you returned this time, is there any situation in Western Qi?"

"Reporting to Master, Kong Xuan suddenly disappeared, and Golden Chicken Ridge is guarded by Huang Feihu. Currently, Huang Feihu has been defeated by Ziya and retreated to Si Shui Pass all the way. But Teacher Randeng feels that Kong Xuan's sudden loss of whereabouts is a bit suspicious, so he specifically asked the disciple to report this matter."

Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun is silent for a moment.

Not long ago, he went to the West to ask Jieyin and Zhunti to take action. Now that Kong Xuan is gone, he thinks it was Jieyin and Zhunti who took action, and says.

"Kong Xuan was captured by someone I asked to take action. Since no one is obstructing him anymore, let Ziya speed up the responsibility of attacking Shang and fight all the way to Chaoge."

"Yes, Master."

Jie Sect side.

Jin'ao Island.

Biyou Palace.

Tong Tian sits on the throne, with the four great personal disciples standing below.

Daoist Duobao bows and speaks: "Master, Gu Xiu has already gone to Chaoge. Should we go to assist?"

Tong Tian shakes his head: "Currently, Gu Xiu's strength is already no longer threatened by anyone in the Chan Sect, unless Yuanshi takes action. Since he is sure, we will believe him, pay attention to the situation in Chaoge here, and wait for his news."

The three great Holy Mothers are late to realize Gu Xiu's trip to Chaoge.

But none of them expected that the Kongtong Seal would be in Gu Xiu's hands, and he even wanted to support Di Xin, ascend to the Human Emperor, take back the Human Emperor, and abolish the status of the Ren Sect within the human race.

In their eyes, this move must have offended Taiqing Laozi to death. This decision can be called very bold.

They originally wanted to go to assist Gu Xiu, but hearing Tong Tian's words, Daoist Duobao and the three great Holy Mothers bow together.

"Everything listens to Master."

Having said that, Duobao and the others curiously cast their gaze toward the Primordial world, observing the movements of the Primordial heaven and earth.

At this time.

Chaoge.

Grand Master's mansion.

Wen Zhong informs Di Xin about the Investiture of the Gods, and that Gu Xiu wants to help him ascend to the position of Human Emperor, and that he should prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

As soon as Wen Zhong returns, he does not rest but goes to the study to handle military affairs.

Sitting down at the desk and opening the bamboo slips.

He notices a figure appear. When he sees the person clearly, he finds it is Gu Xiu, and Wen Zhong breathes a sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother, it's you. I was just about to inform you that the King decided to hold a festival in Chaoge Square three days later."

Hearing this, Gu Xiu nods: "I already know about this matter. Three days later, I will appear with the Kongtong Seal to help him ascend to the position of Human Emperor."

In these three days.

Gu Xiu breaks through the void and goes directly into Chaos to cultivate.

In the outside world.

Three days pass in a flash.

Gu Xiu also comes out of Chaos and hands the Kongtong Seal to Di Xin.

Chaoge.

On the square.

Extremely wide.

The officials are below.

The surroundings are already full of people from Chaoge City. They look respectful and look forward to it.

In the center of the square, a high platform stands, carved with railings and jade, showing luxury.

The atmosphere is solemn.

Di Xin wears a gorgeous crown and a crown, steps with steady steps, and slowly ascends the high platform.

His posture is straight, his gaze is like a torch, scanning the people under the platform, and his whole body radiates the majesty of a human ruler.

Followed by Wen Zhong, Bi Gan, and several other important ministers.

Di Xin steps forward, takes the torch handed by the priest, and walks toward a huge bronze tripod in the center.

This bronze tripod has been used by every successor since Cheng Tang was established. It has experienced vicissitudes, and it is engraved with mysterious runes and ancient patterns.

Following that, Di Xin throws the torch in.

In an instant, a raging fire ignites in the bronze tripod, and the flames rush into the sky.

Immediately after, the person who offered the sacrifice holds various sacrificial vessels, chanting ancient and mysterious blessings in his mouth.

The incense smoke rises and curls.

Afterwards, Wen Zhong steps forward and hands the box in his hand to Di Xin.

Inside is the Kongtong Seal.

Di Xin takes the box and holds it in his hands with both hands.

Facing the sky, he first bows deeply toward the direction where the legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are.

He says loudly: "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are above. The human race has been protected by you saints and emperors, and has multiplied to this day. Today, I ascend to this platform to hold a festival. I will definitely carry on the will of my predecessors and protect the prosperity of the human race!"

The people, officials, and officials below hear this, all looking confused, not knowing what Di Xin is going to do.

Then they see Di Xin turn around and scan the surrounding people.

He speaks.

"Since my Cheng Tang was established, it has experienced several former kings. The former kings worked diligently and worriedly, making many immortal contributions to the prosperity of my Great Shang and the welfare of the human race. However, now my Great Shang is coveted by foreign enemies and faces internal and external troubles. I feel that the responsibility is heavy. However, after today, I will definitely let my Great Shang regain its vitality and make my human race increasingly powerful."

The people under the platform are whispering and discussing.

"What, I didn't hear it wrong, did the King just say that my Great Shang is coveted by foreign enemies?"

"No wonder, why did the princes in various places suddenly rebel, making my Great Shang turbulent."

Di Xin raises his volume, his tone impassioned.

"The enemies coveting my Great Shang are too powerful, but I believe that as long as my human race is of one heart, we will not fear any enemies!"

As soon as these words come out, the people below respond one after another. ===== CHAPTER 431 =====
