Chapter 72: Walking Further and Further Away, Realizing the Dao

Yuanshi Tianzun did not expect Jiang Ziya to refuse.

Staring at Jiang Ziya, his gaze was deep and complex, and he did not speak for a long time.

Jiang Ziya maintained a bowing posture, not daring to breathe, his heart uneasy.

Finally, Yuanshi Tianzun sighed lightly.

"Ziya, this is the number of days, and it is also your destiny, and it cannot be shirked. Don't be greedy for the quiet cultivation in the mountains. Going down the mountain to perform the Investiture of the Gods is your opportunity to accumulate merit and prove the immortal Dao."

Jiang Ziya remembered the content on the bamboo slips.

After the Investiture of the Gods is completed, the God-Beating Whip and the Investiture of the Gods list will be handed over to the Heavenly Court and managed by Haotian God.

And he lost the Investiture of the Gods list, the God-Beating Whip, and karma was added to his body, and he could only suffer in endless reincarnation, without any benefits. He didn't want to do it.

"This disciple is dull and afraid that I cannot take on this heavy responsibility. If there is any mistake, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the Teacher's high expectations? Please choose someone else, Teacher."

Seeing Jiang Ziya so stubborn, Yuanshi Tianzun shouted sharply: "I believe you have this ability, don't say any more."

Jiang Ziya had a face full of sorrow, his eyes full of unwillingness, and he still wanted to struggle.

"Teacher, is there no room for maneuver?" His words were sincere.

"Go down the mountain quickly." Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze was flat, and his tone was unquestionable.

Antarctic Immortal Weng on the side stepped forward to comfort him, acting as a peacemaker.

"Ziya, I know your concerns, but this is a disaster you must go through. The matter of the Investiture of the Gods concerns all living beings in the world. You should prioritize righteousness. When this matter is successful, you will have a day to go up the mountain again."

Jiang Ziya was stunned again. Gu Xiu wrote this sentence in the bamboo slips.

"Is it really impossible not to go?"

Jiang Ziya kept pushing back, making Yuanshi Tianzun a little angry.

"Go, don't let down my expectations."

His tone revealed a majesty that could not be refused.

He gently raised his hand, and a soft light enveloped Jiang Ziya.

The scene around him changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Ziya was sent to the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Ziya stayed in place for a long time.

This didn't even give him a chance to pack his things, and he was driven down the mountain.

But he was just a disciple and could do nothing.

The stubborn temper in his heart suddenly surged up.

"Since you won't let me stay on Mount Kunlun, I can cultivate myself at the foot of the mountain."

After reading the bamboo slips, it was impossible to go to the Investiture of the Gods.

There were many things he dared not ask.

But Jiang Ziya always felt that what was said in the book might be some inside story of the Investiture of the Gods.

"Could this person have the ability to predict the future, and specifically let me see these?"

Pondering, he really wanted to know who this person was.

"Senior Brother Jiang."

While thinking, a voice came from behind.

Jiang Ziya turned around and was a little surprised to see Shen Gongbao.

"Junior Brother Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Gongbao looked mysterious, the corners of his mouth hooked into an elusive smile.

"Senior Brother Jiang, I believe you already know that I was driven down the mountain, right?"

Jiang Ziya sighed, his expression disappointed: "Junior Brother, I was also driven down the mountain."

Shen Gongbao's eyes revealed a trace of cunning: "I was driven down the mountain because of the Investiture of the Gods. Could it be that you were too?"

Jiang Ziya trusted Shen Gongbao very much at first. If it weren't for Yuanshi Tianzun's prior reminder, he would have fallen for Shen Gongbao's trick.

But the current Investiture of the Gods has produced many anomalies, and many of the Chan Sect's plans cannot be implemented.

Jiang Ziya had been refusing the Investiture of the Gods, and was sent down the mountain directly by Yuanshi Tianzun in a fit of anger.

Without prior reminder, Jiang Ziya had no defense against Shen Gongbao who came up.

He shook his head and sighed.

"Last time Junior Brother told me about the Investiture of the Gods, I didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, the Teacher suddenly summoned me today and asked me to go down the mountain to perform the Investiture of the Gods."

"I was unwilling, and specifically recommended Senior Brother to host the Investiture of the Gods, but the Teacher didn't agree and sent me down the mountain."

Since seeing Gu Xiu, Shen Gongbao had been thinking about attacking the heart first.

He smiled slightly.

"Senior Brother Ziya, when I was driven down the mountain, I learned a secret."

"What secret?" Jiang Ziya asked with doubt in his eyes, not understanding.

"It is that the Investiture of the Gods was caused by the Twelve Immortals of Jade Void committing too many killings. The reason for holding the Investiture of the Gods is to wipe the butts of the Twelve Golden Immortals."

"All the third-generation disciples are to respond to the calamity for the Twelve Golden Immortals and replace them on the list. Such vicious behavior is truly intolerable to heaven!"

Shen Gongbao spoke eloquently, passionately, and from the heart, which stunned Jiang Ziya.

"Junior Brother Shen, I won't hide it from you, I picked up a bundle of bamboo slips the day before yesterday, which seemed to record some secrets of heaven."

Jiang Ziya told about the bamboo slips.

Shen Gongbao thought thoughtfully after hearing this.

"Senior Brother Jiang, it seems that there is an expert who can't bear to see us being used as tools, so he leaked the secrets of heaven to remind us."

After listening to the statement, Jiang Ziya nodded repeatedly.

"It seems that is indeed the case, but Junior Brother Shen, we can't go back to Mount Kunlun. What should we do now?"

Shen Gongbao stepped forward and thought for a moment.

"We are not valued in the Chan Sect. Although we are all second-generation disciples, even the Jade Pure Immortal Method has not been passed on to us. Perhaps accepting us as disciples is just to go down the mountain to perform the Investiture of the Gods and specifically be scapegoats for the Twelve Golden Immortals."

"Mount Kunlun is so large, there is a place for us to stay anywhere. We will open a cave dwelling on Mount Kunlun ourselves and be a loose cultivator. Isn't it good to be happy and free? You don't have to water pines and plant peaches every day, so you have time to cultivate."

Jiang Ziya thought about it.

It seemed that what Shen Gongbao said was not bad. They were not valued in the Chan Sect at all.

Except for the Twelve Golden Immortals, Yuanshi Tianzun didn't care about the life or death of other disciples.

"Junior Brother Shen's words are very reasonable. Although it is a pity that I cannot stay in the Chan Sect, Mount Kunlun is so large and is a holy land for immortals. Cultivating on it is better than going to the mortal world."

The two hit it off, left the foot of the Chan Sect mountain gate, and went to other places.

Not long after they left, Antarctic Immortal Weng came down from the mountain, looked around, and saw no one.

"Could it be that Ziya was just angry for a while and wanted to think it through and went to the mortal world alone?"

Originally, he was worried that Jiang Ziya would not obediently go down the mountain to perform the Investiture of the Gods, so he came to do some ideological work.

Antarctic Immortal Weng smiled: "It's good that he thought it through. If he makes a temper and doesn't complete the Investiture of the Gods well, I can't explain it to the Teacher."

……

On the other side.

Because he mastered two laws of space, Gu Xiu used space jumping and soon returned to Three Immortals Island.

He was in a happy mood.

If he fully mastered the Great Dao of Space, where could he not go?

Taiyi Golden Immortal needs to realize his own Dao. Although the time is very tight, he must cultivate this Great Dao of Space.

As for the others, he will think about them later.

After returning, he was bored.

Gu Xiu planned to walk by the sea.

The waves kept hitting the shore, making a low roar.

Gu Xiu stood quietly by the sea, gazing at the boundless sea.

Just at this moment, a crisp shout sounded abruptly, breaking this tranquility.

Gu Xiu turned around subconsciously, and saw Yun Xiao walking over with lotus steps.

A white dress fluttered in the wind, and her hair danced with the wind, elegant and dusty. ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
