Chapter 85

After reading the content on the book scroll, Jiang Ziya frowned.

"This book scroll states that the wise ruler the Chan Sect wants me to assist is Xibo Hou Ji Chang? But Ji Chang is also just a chess piece. The person I really need to assist is his second son, Ji Fa?"

"The rebellions everywhere in the mortal world currently are the work of the Chan Sect, with the purpose of weakening the fortune of the Yin Shang, so as to assist Xiqi in raising troops to rebel."

"This time, letting me go down the mountain is mainly to let me see the scene of living beings suffering under the rule of the Yin Shang, so that I can go to preside over the Investiture of the Gods with peace of mind?"

Jiang Ziya looked at the content on the book scroll, and his heart trembled.

"When I return to Kunlun again, Teacher will give me the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip?"

"And even my sworn elder brother in the mortal world is known?"

Last time he went down the mountain, Jiang Ziya went to West Kunlun with Shen Gongbao and never went to the mortal world.

After reading the content on the book scroll, Jiang Ziya suddenly wanted to go to the mortal world to see if it was as the book scroll said.

At this time, the book scroll in his hand suddenly emitted golden light. After the light dissipated, it turned into a golden note.

Jiang Ziya hurriedly opened it to look. The content from just now gradually disappeared before his eyes, replaced by a new line of words:

【If you intend to go to Chaoge to seek refuge with your sworn elder brother, there is no need. He is a mortal who passed away ten years ago. The person now is not your sworn elder brother, but someone else in disguise.】

【Everything is the Chan Sect's layout for the Investiture of the Gods. It is better to go to the places where rebellions are happening to see first, and it will not be too late to go to Chaoge then.】

Jiang Ziya was surprised. Having cultivated in Kunlun for more than forty years, he initially thought that he should have no relatives in the mortal world, but when he calculated, he found that there was still a former sworn elder brother alive, and he was planning to seek refuge with him.

"Even what I thought is known, and my sworn elder brother passed away ten years ago, and the person now is not my sworn elder brother?"

After reading it, Jiang Ziya's heart was in chaos, and he muttered: "Who wrote this? Could everything really be as it says?"

After thinking for a while.

"In that case, I will go to various places to see first if it is really as it says, that there are many demons mixed in the rebel army, and then it will not be too late to go to Chaoge."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya straightened his clothes and walked down the mountain.

Walking alone on the rugged mountain road, Jiang Ziya had many thoughts in his heart.

Recalling the years on Kunlun Mountain, those arduous cultivations, the result was wasting half his life, and he basically learned nothing.

Now at an old age, he could only go down the mountain to end his life.

I don't know how long he walked, but he finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

In front of him was a vast land, and Jiang Ziya chose a direction at random to walk.

Stepping into the mortal world again after many years, he was curious about everything.

Not long after, Jiang Ziya arrived at a village.

He saw that the surroundings were desolate, weeds were overgrown in the fields, and there was not a trace of vitality to be seen.

The village was cold and clear, and occasionally he could see a few sallow and thin villagers, their eyes full of fear and despair.

He stepped forward to inquire and learned that many people had died because of the war.

There were many demons mixed in the rebel army, specifically doing things like burning, killing, and looting.

Jiang Ziya frowned tightly and quickened his pace toward a rebel fiefdom.

Along the way, smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and finally Jiang Ziya arrived at the place of rebellion.

The scene in front of him made him gasp. The city walls were dilapidated, piles of corpses were piled up at the city gate, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.

The city was even more chaotic, with the rebel army wantonly slaughtering the common people, and many demons mixed in among them.

Jiang Ziya's eyes widened in anger, he pinched a magic formula in his hand, and used the superficial magic he learned in Jade Void Palace to attack the demons in front.

Kunlun Mountain.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun was sitting on a futon meditating and saw Antarctic Immortal Weng return.

He spoke slowly.

"Antarctic, how did the matter go?"

"Teacher, the disciple has already taken Jiang Ziya away from the West Queen Mother Palace. After this incident, Jiang Shang should have learned his lesson and will not act recklessly again."

There was no ripple in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes, and his tone was flat: "That is good. After he stays in the mortal world for a year or two, guide him to Xiqi."

"Teacher, rest assured, leave this matter to the disciple."

Three Immortals Island.

Gu Xiu used the Great Dao Storybook to write the story of fooling Jiang Ziya.

He did not stop until the system prompted that the task was completed.

Looking at the ten Ginseng Fruits in the space column, Gu Xiu was very satisfied.

He immediately summoned Yang Jian and Yang Chan.

"Master, I wonder if you summoned me and Third Sister, is there something you want us to do?"

"Summoning you here is because I have good things for you."

When the two were curious, Gu Xiu took out two Ginseng Fruits.

Looking at the Ginseng Fruit that looked like a baby but emitted a strange fragrance, and from which one could also feel the majestic life energy, Yang Jian and Yang Chan's eyes were full of doubt.

"Master, what kind of fruit is this? Why does it look like a newborn baby?"

Yang Chan also cast a curious gaze. This was the first time in her life she had seen such a fruit.

Gu Xiu said indifferently: "This is a Ginseng Fruit, a fruit borne by the Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the top ten innate spiritual roots."

"It blossoms every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and only matures after another three thousand years. It only bears thirty fruits each time."

"Those who have an affinity can live for three hundred and sixty years just by smelling it, and eating one can make you live for forty-seven thousand years."

Hearing this, Yang Jian said brightly: "There is actually such a magical fruit in the world?"

Gu Xiu nodded and smiled: "This is for you. One for each of you."

Yang Jian and Yang Chan received the Ginseng Fruit with joy and couldn't help but observe it.

Thinking of the characteristics of the Ginseng Fruit, Gu Xiu reminded: "The Ginseng Fruit is mutually restrained by the five elements. It falls when it meets gold, withers when it meets wood, dissolves when it meets water, scorches when it meets fire, and enters when it meets earth. You must hold it well."

"I didn't expect it to have such characteristics. Master, rest assured, Third Sister and I will be careful." Yang Jian said.

Yang Chan nodded, her beautiful face full of joy: "Many thanks for the Immortal's bestowal of the divine fruit."

Gu Xiu smiled warmly: "Taste it quickly."

Following that, Yang Chan took a light bite. The fruit flesh melted in her mouth, and a sweet and fragrant juice spread in her mouth. The majestic vitality instantly rushed to her limbs and bones.

Yang Chan chewed slowly, guiding this energy into her meridians and circulating it through the small heavenly cycle.

Seeing this, Yang Jian also took a bite and began to evaluate it.

"Master, the taste of this fruit is indeed good, and as sensed, it contains powerful life essence. It is indeed a rare spiritual object."

Gu Xiu smiled.

Seeing that they were eating happily, he also took out a Ginseng Fruit to eat.

Gu Xiu didn't know if it could increase his lifespan. He was now a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Once he stepped into the Golden Immortal stage, he could be immortal. If there was no external calamity, he could live as long as heaven and earth, but the fruit was delicious.

Following that, Gu Xiu went to find the Three Xiao sisters.

On the way, he saw a beautiful figure in the sky, interacting with a flower-feathered bird.

Looking closely, it was Bi Xiao.

In the sky, Bi Xiao performed immortal magic, summoned clusters of auspicious clouds, and then stepped lightly onto the clouds, shuttling between the sea of clouds.

Playing and laughing, her figure was light.

Noticing Gu Xiu looking at her from below, Bi Xiao waved at him mischievously.

Gu Xiu thought about it and flew up too.

After approaching Bi Xiao, Gu Xiu smiled: "Junior Grand-Aunt, you are so carefree."

Bi Xiao giggled, her crisp laughter pleasant to the ear: "Don't tease me. Why did you come here? Could it be that you are going to find Eldest Sister?"
