Volume 5: The World of Conferred Gods Chapter 19: Explanation of Decline and Rise
Shen Gongbao's eyes were filled with excitement.
Even though Jia Le had told him before that if he could refine Jiang Ziya's good fortune, combine the good fortune and bad luck into one, and comprehend the great path of destiny, it would be enough for him to ascend to heaven in one step, Shen Gongbao couldn't believe that he could be promoted directly from a Xuanxian to a Daluo Jinxian, as there was a difference of three major realms.
Something that others may not be able to accomplish in their entire lifetime was accomplished by him just like that?
What he didn't know was that if Jiuyou hadn't taken away most of the results of destiny, he would have already broken through to the Golden Immortal of Hunyuan and could have glimpsed the Great Dao of Hunyuan. This was the power of destiny. If he didn't show up, he would have made a big splash. However, Shen Gongbao probably wouldn't know it in the future. After all, destiny is unpredictable. He himself didn't know it, let alone others.
If only he knew he had gotten a great bargain.
At this time, Shen Gongbao already worshipped Jiale as a god, and his heart was filled with gratitude.
Looking at the Divine Whip and the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag on the ground, the Black Lotus had disappeared. Shen Gongbao didn't care. Jia Le said that the Black Lotus was just borrowed by him temporarily to accomplish something, and it would disappear on its own after the task was completed. Shen Gongbao guessed that was Jia Le's method. He thought Jia Le would take the Divine Whip and the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag away together, but he didn't expect that Jia Le would leave these two top-grade innate spiritual treasures for him.
He was even more grateful in his heart, he knew that it was almost all due to Jiale that he was able to kill Jiang Ziya and reach the Golden Immortal level in one step. Even if Jiale took away the Divine Whip and the Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag, he would not say anything and would not feel resentful. Now that they were left behind, it was enough to make Shen Gongbao grateful. However, since Jiale left them to him, he could not just take them with a clear conscience.
Cultivation is also about the ways of the world. He has made great progress in cultivation, so he can't just keep the treasures for himself. When he returns to Jin'ao Island, he will give these two treasures to Jiale.
But before that, it was just right for him to borrow these two treasures to complete the task assigned to him by Jiale.
That's right, Jiale did assign a task to Shen Gongbao. When the rebellion broke out in Xiqi, he would next join the Shang Dynasty and help the Shang Dynasty put down the rebellion so that the human race could be unified again. And this time, the opponent was the Chan Sect. Originally, Shen Gongbao was unsure, after all, his strength was only that of a Xuanxian before, so how could he fight against the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.
But things are different now. He is now a Daluo Golden Immortal. Even the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu are only at this level.
As they are both Daluo Jinxian, why can't he kill these former senior brothers? You know, these guys, like Yuanshi Tianzun, claim to be pure and look down on Shen Gongbao, who was born as a beast. In Kunlun Mountain, the Twelve Golden Immortals ridiculed and suppressed Shen Gongbao. He was forced to leave as a result of these guys taking advantage of his misfortune.
Now that these guys have taken the initiative to commit robbery, how can Shen Gongbao be polite to them? They must all be sent to the so-called List of Gods.
How could he not prepare the opportunity to become a god for his former senior brothers?
Jiang Ziya is a bit pathetic. Other immortals and gods, even if they are dead, have the chance to be on the list, but after Jiang Ziya was refined by him, he really became one with him. Even his primordial spirit was not retained, and he didn't even have a chance to be on the list.
However, this also saves trouble, as he doesn't have to think about eradicating the problem completely.
After putting away the Divine-Slaying Whip and the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag, Shen Gongbao started to refine them directly. He was not Jiang Ziya, who had only the cultivation level of Yuanshen Realm. As a Daluo Jinxian, it was not difficult for Shen Gongbao to refine the Divine-Slaying Whip and the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag. As long as he refined them with all his heart and gave them some time, he would be able to use them freely.
Outside Kunlun Mountain.
The Immortal of the South Pole has already traveled from Kunlun Mountain to Xiqi and has searched for several rounds, but has not found any trace of Jiang Ziya.
And just before that, the Immortal of the South Pole felt a sense of panic, as if something big had happened in the Chan Sect.
Sure enough, after careful consideration, it was found that the fortune of the Chan sect had really changed drastically. Not only had its originally prosperous fortune declined a lot, but a lot of calamity was descending towards Kunlun Mountain. The Chan sect had previously made several plans and placed its bets on Jiang Ziya, attempting to use Jiang Ziya as a lever to manipulate fate. Now that Jiang Ziya was dead, not only had the Chan sect gained nothing, but all its investments had also gone to waste.
He had previously attempted to control his fate and the direction of the catastrophe, but he completely lost control and was hit hard by the catastrophe.
That is to say, the fortune of the Chan sect is strong enough, otherwise, this one blow would be enough to destroy it. Even so, the fortune of the Chan sect has declined greatly, and Nan Ji Xian Weng and others, as disciples of the Chan sect, will naturally be affected. Just like now, one calamity after another is falling, and Nan Ji Xian Weng feels that he is suddenly entangled in calamity.
Originally, the Immortal of the South Pole was also a golden immortal with great fortune and virtue. However, now his fortune and virtue are not enough to offset the calamity, causing the Immortal of the South Pole to fall into a great calamity in an instant, and his state of mind is clouded.
This situation made the Antarctic Immortal suddenly feel depressed. This was really a big deal.
The disaster made the Immortal of the South Pole feel that even if he stood here, he would be in danger of disaster. He was only a Daluo Golden Immortal. He heard that even the Hunyuan Golden Immortal could not escape this disaster, let alone him. At this moment, he really wanted to turn around and return to Kunlun Mountain.
And at this moment, under the induction of Qi, he actually felt the aura of the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag.
This was the method given to him by Yuanshi Tianzun when he went down the mountain. It enabled him to feel the location of the Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag. He had gained nothing on his previous journey, but now there was a response.
After hesitating for a while, the Immortal of the South Pole did not dare to disobey the order of Yuanshi Tianzun, and hurried towards the location of the Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag.
Shen Gongbao was still refining the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag and was unaware that Jiu You had left. The Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag was no longer able to conceal its aura and had been exposed. The Nan Ji Immortal had already arrived.
Kunlun Mountains.
"Haha, Yuanshi Tianzun, if the heavens don't bless you, the devil will flourish. You suppressed me for so long, but I finally got out of here. Haha, from now on, the world will not only have you, Yuanshi Tianzun, but also me, Yuanshi Tianmo. I'm leaving now."
With a loud laugh, Yuanshi Tianmo left Kunlun Mountain and disappeared.
Although Yuanshi Tianmo came from Yuanshi Tianzun, his strength is not the same as Yuanshi Tianzun's. He is not at the level of a saint. It's just that Yuanshi Tianzun has been escaped by Yuanshi Tianmo, his state of mind has been damaged, and his cultivation has been greatly damaged. He has to quickly stabilize his cultivation and state of mind, and can't take care of Yuanshi Tianmo. If he really waits for Yuanshi Tianzun to recover, he will probably have to suppress him again.
Yuanshi Tianmo naturally had to flee quickly. When his magic was perfected, he would have the opportunity to come back and seek revenge. At that time, he would devour Yuanshi Tianzun. From then on, there would be no Yuanshi Tianzun in the world, only Yuanshi Tianmo.
Yuanshi Tianzun gnashed his teeth at this time, wishing he could beat Yuanshi Tianmo to death, but he had no time to care. Not only did his cultivation state of mind need to be stable, but even the fortune of the Chan sect needed to be stabilized. There was also the catastrophe that was falling on Kunlun Mountain, which he needed to deal with as soon as possible. Otherwise, this holy land on earth would be destroyed.
After a long time, Yuanshi Tianzun finally stabilized his cultivation state of mind temporarily, and a figure appeared in Kunlun Mountain at the right time.
Looking closely at that figure, it's not very clear who I am.
Laozi looked at Yuanshi Tianzun in front of him with a frown. He had not expected that Yuanshi Tianzun would be affected so much and end up in such an embarrassing state. Originally, before the catastrophe, according to his calculations, Yuanshi Tianzun and the Chan Sect should have been signs of great prosperity, and Yuanshi Tianmo should have been completely suppressed by Yuanshi Tianzun in the end, eliminating the hidden danger, and Yuanshi Tianzun would be able to greatly improve his strength.
Now, everything has changed.
Not only did Yuanshi Tianzun and the Chan sect fail to experience the so-called prosperity, but they were in an extremely miserable state. Just look at what the Kunlun Mountain has become now. The Chan sect is even looking like it is about to be destroyed. Even Yuanshi Tianzun, because of the changes in the evil corpse and the dissatisfaction of the three corpses, has greatly weakened in strength. Now he is just barely stabilizing in the early stage of the Saint realm.
I'm afraid that even Zhunti, the weakest among the Six Saints, is no match for Yuanshi Tianzun at this time.
The most important thing is the chain reaction caused by the changes made by Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Second brother, how did it become like this?"
When Yuanshi Tianzun saw Laozi appear, he immediately felt a little resentful in his heart. If Laozi was willing to take action, why would he do this?
It has to be said that the flaws in his state of mind had caused Yuanshi Tianzun to have lost the state of mind that a saint should have, and he even began to resent Laozi.
"If brother was willing to take action earlier, there would not be such a situation."
I also heard the resentment in Yuanshi Tianzun's mouth, and my brows couldn't help but frown even deeper.
He did not take action, on the one hand, because he did not want to get too deeply involved in the catastrophe. With his strength and status, he could reap all the benefits by just sitting quietly, and there was no need to interfere too much in the catastrophe. He had Yuanshi Tianzun in the front. Besides, this catastrophe was destined to see the rise of the Chan sect. If he took action, I am afraid that not only would he not be thanked by Yuanshi Tianzun, but he would be feared by Yuanshi Tianzun, who would think that he was planning something to seize the opportunity for the rise of the Chan sect.
We are brothers, and I know Yuanshi Tianzun too well. I am proud and narrow-minded. Otherwise, the Three Pure Ones would not have become what they are today.
Without saying much, Laozi simply helped Yuanshi Tianzun stabilize his state of mind, and then began to clear the calamity that covered the Chan Sect and Kunlun Mountain. Just now, the creatures on Kunlun Mountain, which were originally spiritual beasts, were affected by the calamity and began to kill each other. Now there are not many living creatures left in the entire Kunlun Mountain. There is no longer any sign of a holy land, only blood and corpses.
Yuanshi Tianzun was in a depressed mood. He looked at everything in front of him with anger and hatred in his eyes.
He hated that Master Tongtian disregarded their brotherhood and was so cruel. This calamity was originally a dispute between the orthodox sect and the evil sect. The orthodox sect expounded the great way and followed the will of heaven, while the evil sect intercepted a glimmer of hope and believed in the one who escaped. The two were originally opposite and destined to be incompatible. At the beginning, both sects were still in the development stage and did not show any signs.
Now that both religions have become bigger and stronger, it is naturally difficult for them to coexist.
It must be a situation where one side overwhelms the other. Yuanshi Tianzun knew that the current situation must be because Jiang Ziya was killed, and there were other means involved. Otherwise, he would not have fallen to such a point all of a sudden. It was also bad luck that he happened to have the hidden danger of Yuanshi Tianmo, and all of them broke out at once, making Yuanshi Tianzun unable to control the situation, resulting in such an irreversible situation.
And all of this must have been done by Jiejiao, it must have been done by Master Tongtian, because apart from Master Tongtian, no one else has any reason to do this.
Hate, hate, hate to the heavens. At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun even had the intention to kill him.
When Laozi saw Yuanshi Tianzun's look, he couldn't help but shake his head. He helped Yuanshi Tianzun, not because he liked Yuanshi Tianzun and hated Tongtian Jiaozhu, but because the general trend was like that and he was just going with the flow. Moreover, the teachings of the Chan sect were closer to his. In terms of planning, Tongtian Jiaozhu was no match for Yuanshi Tianzun. In Laozi's opinion, Tongtian Jiaozhu's defeat was already decided.
Who could have known that things would develop to this point, and that Master Tongtian actually managed to turn the situation around.
What on earth happened? How could there be such a change? Even if it was just Emperor Xin, it shouldn't have caused such a drastic change in the catastrophe that even the general situation was disrupted .
Originally, I felt that with him around, even if Yuanshi Tianzun won, he could still protect Tongtian Jiaozhu, so that they wouldn't end up completely estranged from each other.
But now it seems that all this is unpredictable.
Tongtian Jiaozhu has a broader mind. Even though he was defeated by Yuanshi Tianzun, he would at most feel a little resentful but would not harbor any murderous intent. But Yuanshi Tianzun is different. I know that Yuanshi Tianzun really wants to kill Tongtian Jiaozhu.
Why has it come to this? Why has it come to this?
I have known the personalities of these two people for a long time, that's why I am so biased. It's because Master Tongtian is more sensible. But now the situation is beyond his control, and even he can't predict how it will turn out.
"Master, if you can't show up and take control of the situation, the world will really change."
Laozi vaguely felt that this catastrophe seemed to be no longer just a dispute between the orthodox and unorthodox sects. The emergence of the Great Dao made Laozi even more uneasy. Perhaps the level had been raised unknowingly. Even he felt like he was in the game, and had been reduced from a chess player to a chess piece.
With the help of Laozi, the decline of the Chan sect was gradually stabilized.
Jin'ao Island.
How could Tongtian not know about such a big thing happening in Kunlun Mountain? To be honest, Tongtian was also caught off guard by the sudden change in the Chan sect.
What on earth had happened to cause the Chan sect to decline so much all of a sudden?
Tongtian Patriarch felt that maybe it was Jiale who did it, but Jiale was still cultivating on the Sun Star, so what was going on? Planning ahead of time, this was too scary.
Thinking of Shen Gongbao, whom Jia Le had asked him to accept, Tongtian Sect Master had some secret gains.
The orthodox school was in decline, while the evil school was thriving. The fortune of the orthodox school at this time was actually greatly improved. Duobao Taoist, Golden Spirit Mother and others were also beside Tongtian Sect Master at this time, feeling the change in fortune, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Master, this?"
They were also a little confused. They clearly did nothing. Could it be that their master did something remarkable to make such an improvement in Jiejiao? You know, this is a great thing. Their luck will increase greatly and their cultivation will be smoother.
"Do you still think it's not worth giving Chunyang a deputy leader? Who among you can do this?"
Pure Yang!
Duobao and the others were stunned. Tongtian's words almost meant that all the changes, including the great changes in the fortunes of the Chan and Jie sects, were related to Jiale. In other words, it was all Jiale's influence, but he didn't seem to do anything? They didn't know anything, and he didn't even ask them to do anything. They just practiced here steadily and reaped the rewards?
Everyone was silent, and they all felt uncomfortable suddenly. Even though they had already acknowledged Chunyang's previous achievements in the reorganization of Jiejiao on Jin'ao Island, they still found it hard to accept that Jiale had brought such great benefits to Jiejiao, even though the current benefits were good for Jiejiao and for them.
However, Bixiao bowed her head even lower. The better Jiale did, the more it showed how stupid she was. She had even returned the Jiejiao before. This made Bixiao find it difficult to accept for a while and she felt even more uncomfortable. All the resentment towards Jiale was eliminated. She had to admit it for the sake of justice.
Yunxiao held Bixiao's hand, which made Bixiao feel much more at ease.
In fact, Yunxiao's mood at this moment was also very complicated. Jiale's appearance was like a stone falling into the still water of Jiejiao. No one liked Jiale's existence, not even Yunxiao, especially after Jiale and Bixiao became antagonistic. However, the current situation forced them to accept Jiale's kindness even if they disliked him.
They, the disciples of Jiejiao, have their own bottom line, and they have to admit it.
When they face Jiale again in the future, they know that they will probably have to call him "Deputy Leader" respectfully and sincerely.
At this time, they were even more curious about how Jiale did it and what he did.
Lingshan.
Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at the changes in the fortunes of the Orthodox and Demonic sects with horror in their eyes. They had underestimated the Patriarch Tongtian. They originally thought that the Patriarch Tongtian had poor planning abilities, and this time he was going against the trend, so he was bound to be at a disadvantage. But now, things have turned around, and after today, it is still unknown who will be the winner.
No, it is the Jiejiao that has a greater chance of winning, which makes them somewhat fortunate that they sided with the Patriarch Tongtian in time. Obviously, they will be able to gain more benefits from the Patriarch Tongtian in the future.
From the beginning to the end, they never thought of Jiale. They just thought that these were all the masterpieces of Master Tongtian. Jiale was just a Hunyuan Jinxian. No matter how outstanding he was, he was no longer within their consideration.
Wahuang Palace.
Nuwa felt the change in the fortunes of the Orthodox and Unorthodox sects, and her expression changed, but then she laughed. This was a good thing. After all, her position was now clear. The better the Unorthodox sect was, the more beneficial it would be for her and the human race. For some reason, Nuwa suddenly thought of Jiale. She always felt that Jiale was related to the changes in the Orthodox and Unorthodox sects this time.
With Tongtian's personality and brain, can he really plan to such an extent?
