At this moment.
Kunlun Mountain.
Jade Palace!
In the huge and majestic palace, one of the three saints, Yuanshi Tianzun, was sitting quietly. His eyes flashed with a trace of anticipation.
"Congratulations, Holy Master. Ao Qing went to Mount Qi and built the God-Conferment Altar. Once the Great God-Conferment Tribulation begins, our Celestial Sect will definitely prosper and suppress the six realms!" Hiroshige's face was full of excitement and excitement.
Behind Guang Chengzi, thousands of cultivators in white robes were also excited. Their eyes flickered with excitement, and all of them were exhilarated.
"Congratulations, Holy Master. Our Celestial Sect will definitely prosper and suppress the six realms!"
"Congratulations, Holy Master. Our Celestial Sect will definitely prosper and suppress the six realms!"
The disciples and cultivators scrambled to say. They spoke in unison, which made Yuanshi Tianzun feel gratified and satisfied.
Since the Great Desolation Era, this Yuanshi Tianzun had been scheming behind the scenes, accumulating his own power in the mythical world. Now that the Great God-Conferment Tribulation had finally arrived, he, Yuanshi Tianzun, had ushered in a huge opportunity for him, Yuanshi Tianzun, to be happy, how could he not look forward to it!?
Although it happened to coincide with the rise of the Dragons, which affected the progress of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation still continued …
When he thought of the mythical world in the future, he, Yuanshi Tianzun, would be famous and suppress the six realms, he could not help but reveal a thick smile.
"Hmm?"
But soon, Yuanshi Tianzun could not help but freeze on the spot. A pair of sharp eyes suddenly fell on Mount Qi.
He could clearly feel that the destiny of the Heavenly Court in the God-Conferment Altar had suddenly disappeared without a trace!
"Something's wrong …"
The moment Yuanshi Tianzun said that, all the disciples were as silent as cicadas in winter. Hiroshige, Chijingzi, and company hurriedly counted with their fingers.
And at this moment, a disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple suddenly rushed in, his face full of panic. "Holy, Holy Lord, this is bad. After that Long Sheng Ao Qing established the Investiture of the Gods, not only did he not become a god according to the agreement, but he also used a special magic treasure to seize the immortal records on the Investiture God Altar and the destiny of the Heavenly Court!"
The Hollow Jade Palace, which was originally bustling with noise, suddenly became like boiling water, seething with excitement.
It had to be known that the immortal records on the God-Conferment Platform were the foundation of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. Among the 365 righteous gods, many cultivators had already been infiltrated by the Jade Void Palace. The Jade Void Palace was only waiting for the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to end before they could control a portion of the Heavenly Court's power...
But now …
"What?!"
Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly stood up in shock. Just as he was about to say something, a rainbow-colored light suddenly pierced the sky, swept over Mount Kunlun, and went straight to Mount Qi.
Seeing the rainbow-colored light, Yuanshi Tianzun was shocked for a long time before he slowly spat out a few words. "It, it's Heavenly Merit?!"
"What, Heavenly Merit?!
Since the Six Great Saints of the Untainted Land, Heavenly Merit has been rare, isn't it?! "
"Heavenly Merit?!
The Heavenly Way actually bestowed Long Sheng Ao Qing with Heavenly Merit?! "
"Once the Six Great Saints proved their Dao, they were once bestowed with Heavenly Merit, which is also Heavenly Merit. Could it be … that a Saint is about to be born?!"
"No, even if Long Sheng Ao Qing established the Sea Realm and became the true master of the Sea Realm, it's just an immeasurable amount of Heavenly Merit. It's impossible for him to prove his Dao and become a Saint!"
The Twelve Golden Immortals and the others all exclaimed. They all turned into light shadows and went straight to Mount Qi.
To cultivators like them, only they knew exactly what Virtue from the Heavens meant ….
…
At this moment.
Heavenly Court.
In Yunxiao Palace, Emperor Haotian and Queen Mother of Jade Lake were making the final preparations for the Great God-Investiture Tribulation.
"Jade Lake, the Great God-Investiture Tribulation has already begun. When the time comes, countless Saints will definitely place forces around you and me, wanting to make us mere figureheads. We must take this opportunity to control everything."
Haotian's voice slowly sounded, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he spoke carefully with Queen Mother of Jade Lake.
In front of them stood a stunning beauty. She was Queen Mother's goddaughter, named Princess Longji.
"Emperor Haotian, Queen Mother of Jade Lake, don't worry. Princess Longji will not fail her mission and complete the Great God-Investiture Tribulation this time." Princess Longji cupped her hands and focused her eyes.
As Queen Mother of Jade Lake's only goddaughter, Princess Longji already knew her mission when the Great God-Investiture Tribulation had begun.
That was to infiltrate the immortals of the Jie Sect and Chan Sect, find out everything, and bring it back to Emperor Haotian and Queen Mother of Jade Lake, so that they could keep track of the Great God-Investiture Tribulation at all times.
"Then, Longji, you may go …" Queen Mother of Jade Lake was about to wave her hand when she suddenly sensed something. She quickly exchanged a look with Emperor Haotian.
Bang bang bang bang!
In the next moment, the steles in front of Queen Mother of Jade Lake and Emperor Haotian all shattered into light and shadow without warning, scattering fragments into the air.
If someone else was here, they would be surprised to find that the positions of the Demon Vanquishing Vanguard, Demon Slaying Great General, Canopy Marshal, and the other three hundred and sixty-five Righteous Gods were all empty at this moment!
"The steles are broken. Oh no … someone stole the celestial court's fortune and immortal records!"
The Queen Mother of Jade Lake, who'd always been calm and collected, shot to her feet. Her eyes flashed with deep shock and disbelief.
The steles in front of them were actually immortal records. Once a righteous god returned to his position, the steles would display it.
Once the Immortal Record was stolen or taken away by someone, the Immortal Stele would be reduced to fragments that fluttered in the air!
"Could it be someone from the Western Sect?" Emperor Haotian frowned. The conflict between Buddhism and Daoism had begun as early as the primordial era.
"No … it's not someone from the Western Sect. It's Long Sheng Ao Qing, who just built the Divinity Bestowment Altar," corrected Queen Mother of Jade Lake seriously.
"Ao Qing?!" Emperor Haotian took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
While the two of them were deep in thought, the sky suddenly lit up. A seven-colored ray of light pierced through the sky, breaking through the clouds, and headed straight for the Qi Mountain below.
"This, this rainbow light, is virtuous merit?!
Virtuous merit from the heavens?
Descending on Qi Mountain?!
Could it be that the God of Mount Qi has attained the Dao through virtue!?
"No, Ao Qing is the only one in Qi Mountain right now …"
At this point, the Heavenly Emperor and the Jade Lake Monarch glanced at each other in shock. Both of them fell into silence and didn't continue.
Princess Longji had a complicated look in her eyes.
Back in the day, Saint Nuwa refined stones to mend the heavens and molded earth to create humans. She received virtuous merit from the heavens and became one of the Six Sages. Taishang Laojun refined pills, cultivated the Dao, and founded the Ren Sect. He also received virtuous merit from the heavens and became one of the Six Sages …
Now, there was someone else who'd received virtuous merit from the heavens?!
And this person was clearly Ao Qing?!
