Chapter 84

Three Immortals Island.

Immortal Qi swirled, and spiritual mist permeated.

Gu Xiu was sitting cross-legged, and strands of immortal spiritual Qi seeped into his body through his pores, traveling through his meridians, nourishing his bones, flesh, and internal organs.

Suddenly, the system sounded.

"Ding!"

"Detected that Jiang Ziya is in West Kunlun, peeking at female immortals bathing, and was caught on the spot, caught red-handed. Triggering event options, please make a choice, Host."

"Option 1: Let the people of Jade Void Palace take him away. Reward: one low-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

"Option 2: Go to stop Jade Void Palace from taking the person away. Reward: one top-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

"Option 3: Let the people of Jade Void Palace take Jiang Ziya away, and secretly bewitch Jiang Ziya. Reward: ten Ginseng Fruits! (Just smelling one can make you live for three hundred and sixty years, and eating one can make you live for forty-seven thousand years.)"

Looking at the three options in front of him, the second option was directly excluded.

Although the reward was generous, Jiang Ziya was the Investiture of the Gods presiding officer chosen by the Chan Sect. Going to stop them would make him a target for the Chan Sect to deal with. It was too reckless.

The third option had an extra step of bewitching Jiang Ziya compared to the first option.

Gu Xiu pondered slightly, and the answer was in his heart.

"System, I choose three."

"Ding!"

"Choice successful. Task time limit is seven days. Please complete the task as soon as possible, Host. It will be void after the deadline!"

The corners of Gu Xiu's mouth turned up, and he smiled slightly.

Ten Ginseng Fruits were like a free gift.

"With the Great Dao Storybook, bewitching Jiang Ziya is not very difficult. There is no need to run specifically to Kunlun."

West Kunlun.

West Queen Mother Palace.

Antarctic Immortal Weng stepped on auspicious clouds and landed on the square.

Seeing Jiang Ziya's miserable state, he frowned and walked quickly toward the stone pillar.

"Ziya."

Jiang Ziya had received one hundred lashes and was dozing off. Hearing someone call him.

He opened his eyes slightly.

"Senior Brother Antarctic, why are you here?"

"What do you think?" Antarctic Immortal Weng sighed softly: "Ziya, you are confused. Why didn't you listen to Teacher's words and go down the mountain to seek wealth and assist a wise ruler? Although you have not yet achieved the immortal path, what you learned in Jade Void Palace is enough for you to be a marquis or prime minister in the mortal world and enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of your life. At that time, you can marry as many women as you want in the mortal world. You shouldn't have run to West Kunlun to do such a thing."

Jiang Ziya said: "Senior Brother Antarctic, this was all an accident; it was an unintentional act."

Jiang Ziya originally wanted to quibble, but Antarctic Immortal Weng obviously did not give him this opportunity.

"Alright, I hope you learn a lesson from this matter."

After speaking, Antarctic Immortal Weng raised his hand, flicked his fingertips, and untied the ropes on Jiang Ziya's body.

"Many thanks, Senior Brother Antarctic, but this matter..." Jiang Ziya still wanted to quibble for himself, but Antarctic interrupted him again.

"Take this pill and come back with me."

Antarctic Immortal Weng took out a pill and waved it toward Jiang Ziya, and the pill entered Jiang Ziya's mouth.

Instantly, the skin and flesh wounds on Jiang Ziya's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to normal.

Jiang Ziya shook his head. Antarctic Immortal Weng obviously did not believe him, so he was too lazy to speak.

"Fellow Daoist, this time it was Ziya's fault. This is an apology from our Jade Void Palace. Please trouble you to hand it to the Queen Mother of the West." Antarctic Immortal Weng took out two Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots, gave them to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, summoned auspicious clouds, took Jiang Ziya away, and soon disappeared into the horizon.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden took the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots and looked in the direction where the two had left.

She snorted coldly.

"Since you want to apologize, you don't even come to pay respects specifically, but let me pass it on. There is no sincerity at all."

Her beautiful brows furrowed, and her face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, let's present these two Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots to Niangniang first." Having said that, she turned and walked quickly toward the Queen Mother of the West's palace.

In the palace, the Queen Mother of the West was sitting on her throne, her expression calm.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden stepped forward: "Niangniang, Antarctic Immortal Weng has taken Jiang Ziya away. This is an apology from Jade Void Palace, two Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots."

The Queen Mother of the West raised her eyes slightly, looked at the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's hand, and raised her brows slightly: "The dignified Jade Void Palace, the gate of a Saint, is actually so stingy. Mysterious Maiden, these Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots are for you."

Possessing a Peach Garden with three thousand six hundred peach trees, the Wind-Thunder Immortal Apricots had no attraction to the Queen Mother at all.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden bowed slightly: "Many thanks for Niangniang's reward."

The Queen Mother of the West pondered for a moment and said: "Just now the Great Heavenly Venerable sent word that Jiang Ziya is the person chosen by the Chan Sect to preside over the Investiture of the Gods, but he did not go properly to the mortal world to preside over the Investiture of the Gods, but appeared in West Kunlun. The progress of the three sects' Investiture of the Gods may not be very smooth. Mysterious Maiden, you should keep an eye on it more often. If there is anything unusual, come and report it, so we can notify the Great Heavenly Venerable."

"Mysterious Maiden obeys the order." The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden bowed, her expression solemn.

Outside the West Queen Mother Palace, Shen Gongbao was hiding in the dark. Seeing Antarctic Immortal Weng taking Jiang Ziya toward East Kunlun, gloom appeared in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth.

"Jiang Ziya, this old fellow, has already ruined his reputation, yet the Chan Sect still refuses to give up. I am really unwilling."

Jiang Ziya going to the hot spring where the female immortals bathed was guided by Shen Gongbao.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to ruin Jiang Ziya's reputation, but he didn't expect it to be of no use at all.

Shen Gongbao clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.

"Jiang Ziya, you are lucky this time!"

Antarctic Immortal Weng took Jiang Ziya to the foot of East Kunlun Mountain.

He spoke slowly.

"Ziya, I believe that after this incident, you have already learned your lesson. Do you intend to go back to Jade Void Palace with me to see Teacher, or stay here yourself? Go down the mountain to preside over the Investiture of the Gods."

Jiang Ziya raised his head, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and after pondering for a moment: "Senior Brother, I have already made a big mistake and have no face to see Teacher again. I am willing to go down the mountain now to preside over the Investiture of the Gods, to make up for my mistakes and atone for my sins."

Not daring to bear the Saint's anger, Jiang Ziya refused directly.

Antarctic Immortal Weng nodded slightly, and a trace of gratification appeared in his eyes: "Alright, since you have made up your mind, then go down the mountain. Remember, the matter of the Investiture of the Gods is of great importance, and you must not make any more mistakes."

Jiang Ziya bowed solemnly and said sincerely: "Senior Brother, rest assured, Ziya will definitely keep your teachings in mind and go all out to complete the great cause of the Investiture of the Gods."

Antarctic Immortal Weng patted Jiang Ziya on the shoulder, then stepped on auspicious clouds and flew toward Jade Void Palace.

Looking at Antarctic Immortal Weng's departing figure, Jiang Ziya took a deep breath.

"I came back from West Kunlun, and I don't know how Junior Brother Shen Gongbao is doing alone?"

Having opened a cave dwelling together with Shen Gongbao and lived together for so many days, Jiang Ziya felt that the two of them got along very well.

But he had not yet achieved the immortal path, and wanting to go back to West Kunlun would take a long time, which was not worth the loss, so he had to give up.

"I believe Junior Brother Shen Gongbao already knows about my situation. I hope he can come to find me as soon as possible. As for the Investiture of the Gods, do I really have to go down the mountain to preside over it?"

Just now he was just perfunctorily dealing with Antarctic Immortal Weng; Jiang Ziya had never thought about the Investiture of the Gods.

While thinking, he saw a book scroll emitting golden light in front of him. Doubting in his heart, he walked over and picked up the book scroll.

"This book scroll is quite similar to the previous one."

Opening the book scroll and looking at the content above, Jiang Ziya frowned.
