Chapter 1486

This move completely stunned the cultivators of the mortal world.

"What madness has come over the people of the Jiao Sect? Why have they gone to the Heavenly Court!"

"Damn. There won't be any carefree days from now on!"

The Heavenly Court has countless quasi-saints and Daluo powerhouses; to the cultivators of the mortal world, they are like a heavenly tribulation, forcing them to be cautious and careful.

……

The Chan Sect.

Guangchengzi and Randeng were playing chess.

"Vice Sect Leader, you didn't come all this way just to play chess with me, did you?" Guangchengzi asked.

Randeng laughed and said: "I've been in quiet cultivation for several years and don't know the changes in the mortal world. I've heard the entire Jiao Sect has gone up to the Heavenly Court — I wonder what they're plotting?"

Guangchengzi gave a light laugh: "Vice Sect Leader, why pretend to be confused when you already understand? This scheme is indeed quite clever, but since it's already been set in motion, do I still need to spell out the reason behind it?"

As a great cultivator who attained the Dao in primordial times, Guangchengzi was not only immensely powerful in divine abilities, but also no slouch in strategy.

Randeng's roundabout probing was simply child's play before him.

We're both thousand-year-old foxes — what Liaozhai are you playing at with me?

Randeng of course knew he couldn't fool Guangchengzi; he just didn't want to be too blunt and appear too eager.

Hearing this, he asked: "Then does Daoist brother Guangchengzi not feel anxious? Although we don't care for the divine positions of the Heavenly Court, once the Jiao Sect holds the reins of power over the Three Realms, acting will become far more convenient for them. If we don't restrain them now, in the future they might extend their reach to our Chan Sect."

Guangchengzi remained unmoved: "Matters of the Chan Sect are for the Teacher and the Vice Sect Leader to worry about. I just follow orders."

(de Zhao de)

Randeng was speechless.

These people of the Chan Sect are really too difficult to deal with.

No matter who he approached, they would push the matter back to Yuanshi Tianzun, unmoved every one — all of them the type who won't cast the bait without seeing the rabbit.

"Then does Daoist brother Guangcheng not want to get through the Divine Immortal Killing Tribulation?" Randeng raised an eyebrow. "The remaining cultivators in the mortal world are probably not enough to get you through the Divine Immortal Killing Tribulation. Wouldn't it be better for us to strike while the Jiao Sect's footing is still unsteady, catch them off guard?"

The Divine Immortal Killing Tribulation — this was also one of the causes of the Investiture of the Gods War.

The Investiture of the Gods War, apart from the Heavenly Court lacking personnel, was also because the twelve Jin Xian of the Chan Sect had cultivated for many years without attaining the Dao, and needed to pass the Divine Immortal Killing Tribulation to continue their cultivation.

In the end, the Chan Sect conspired with the other sects, redirecting their own killing tribulation onto the cultivators of the world, which erupted into the great Investiture of the Gods Tribulation that nearly blew the world apart.
