At the same time, Donghai Dragon King, Ao Qing, flooded Chentang Pass and defeated Immortal Taiyi and Immortal Li Jing, and returned to the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Above the 33 Levels of Heaven, Kunlun Mountain, Jade Palace.
As one of the Three Sacred Palaces, the Taoist rite that had once nurtured 12 Golden Immortals, the atmosphere in the Jade Palace was much colder than usual.
In the Jade Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Sages, sat quietly on a futon. His eyes were emotionless, making it impossible for others to see what he was thinking.
In front of Yuanshi Tianzun, there were two other Sages sitting on futons. One of them was also dressed in white, but there was a pattern of Yin and Yang fish on his white clothes. The other one was dressed in black, giving people a gloomy feeling.
They were none other than two of the Three Sages, Taishang Laojun and Master Tongtian, who were known as the Taishang Tao Ancestor.
The Three Sages were formed by the rising of Clear Qi when the Untainted Land was created. They were extremely powerful and even had the ability to create a new world.
Generally speaking, the Three Sages had never gathered together, not even during the Untainted Land Tribulation, the Dragon-phoenix Tribulation, or the Witch-Demon Tribulation. However, at this moment, the Three Sages were gathered together in Yuanshi Tianzun's Jade Palace. It was really rare.
"I'll just say it directly. This time, I've called the two of you here to discuss the Investiture of the Gods."
Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Sages, spoke first.
Yuanshi Tianzun's words were extremely cold, but the moment he mentioned the Investiture of the Gods, one could still catch the fluctuation in his heart.
"We've already known about the Investiture of the Gods, but we don't know what Yuanshi Tianzun is going to do this time?"
Taishang Laojun, the Tao Ancestor, spoke slowly. As Sages, they still had the ability to predict the future.
"Yes, that's right. What do the Sages plan to do for the Investiture of the Gods this time?" Master Tongtian quickly asked.
The truth was that the three Sages had discussed this matter countless times over for the Investiture of the Gods.
In the past, because the interests of the three Sages were different, they did not discuss it. However, before this, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, God Haotian, had fallen for some reason. Now, the entire Heavenly Court was short of manpower and urgently needed a large number of elite soldiers to join. Therefore, under the command of Heavenly Dao Hongjun, the three Sages once again gathered together to discuss the Investiture of the Gods!
"Actually, the list of the Investiture of the Gods had already been decided long ago. It was assigned by Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
The two Sages can take a look. "
Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Taishang Laojun and Master Tongtian. As he spoke, he handed the Investiture of the Gods to the two of them.
Taishang Laojun and Master Tongtian were stunned at first, then slowly nodded.
This discussion of the Investiture of the Gods seemed to be a discussion, but in fact, it was just a formality. Many of the candidates had already been chosen by the Heavenly Dao, so it was unavoidable.
However, as soon as he received the Investiture of the Gods, Master Tongtian, one of the three Sages, could not help but frown. He was very unhappy in his heart.
"Yuanshi Tianzun, the list on it …"
Without waiting for Master Tongtian to ask, Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head. "As Master Tongtian can see, this Investiture of the Gods was decided by Heavenly Dao Hongjun. The candidates have already been chosen and cannot be changed. Even we can't do anything about it."
Upon hearing this, the Prime of Tongtian frowned. However, he forced himself to endure it.
The reason for his displeasure was very simple. Many of the names on the Investiture of the Gods were disciples under his Master Tongtian!
On the surface, the Investiture of the Gods listed the immortals and became part of the Heavenly Court, wielding real power.
But in fact, the Investiture of the Gods was a list that controlled one's freedom and deprived the immortals of their freedom. Once one was on the list, they would lose all their freedom in the future and work for the Heavenly Court like a dog!
Yes, work for the Heavenly Court like a dog!
Before they were on the Investiture of the Gods, his disciples could still rely on their profound cultivation to roam the Three Realms freely. But once they were on the Investiture of the Gods, they had no choice but to become members of the Heavenly Court. If they were ordered to attack the east, they would not dare to attack the west.
After the Investiture of the Gods was confirmed, the Investiture of the Gods would eventually be handed over to the master of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor held the Investiture of the Gods, and anyone on the list who dared to resist would be easily obliterated by the Investiture of the Gods …
So, to put it simply, they would be dogs for the Heavenly Court!
No matter what, Master Tongtian was a person who cherished his disciples. How could he tolerate such a thing happening?!
Moreover, most of the people on the Investiture of the Gods were his Master Tongtian's disciples. It was obvious that Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun wanted to bully him and weaken his strength in this mythical world!
"If Master Tongtian and Taishang Laojun don't have any objections, I am prepared to hand the Investiture of the Gods to Heavenly Dao Hongjun and hand it over to one of my disciples to carry out this task."
When Yuanshi Tianzun saw that Master Tongtian did not react for a long time, he and Taishang Laojun's lips curled into an imperceptible smile.
"If I'm not wrong, the person Yuanshi Tianzun sent this time is Jiang Ziya, one of the Twelve Golden Deities, right?" Taishang Laojun suddenly asked.
"That's right." Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly.
When Master Tongtian heard this, he, who was already frowning, felt even more gloomy. He could not help but snort coldly in his heart. Since everything has been arranged, why do you still need to find me?!
Are you planning to use Jiang Ziya to weaken my strength in the mythical world?!
"Then the Investiture of the Gods is settled!" Yuanshi Tianzun smiled slightly.
The battle between the Sages would never stop. This time, he and Taishang Laojun wanted to discuss the Investiture of the Gods together while the Great God-Investiture Tribulation was about to arrive. They wanted to weaken Master Tongtian's strength!
However, just as Yuanshi Tianzun was about to leave with the Investiture of the Gods in his hand to appoint people to complete the Investiture of the Gods, the Investiture of the Gods in Yuanshi Tianzun's hand suddenly shone brightly.
The Investiture of the Gods of the Lotus Prince Nezha and Li Jing's family, who originally existed on the Investiture of the Gods, suddenly disappeared. It was as if their names had never existed …
Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun could not help but widen his eyes in shock. "Who, who is it?!
Who, who stole the luck and fortune of Nezha, Li Jing, and the others?! "
Back then, when Yuanshi Tianzun was settling the Investiture of the Gods, he wanted Nezha and Li Jing's family to control the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Court. One was the Demon Vanquisher Vanguard, and the other was the Demon Vanquisher Marshal …
His Chan School could also use this opportunity to increase their strength.
However, this chess piece that he had decided on had changed?!
Immediately, Yuanshi Tianzun pinched his fingers and deduced. In the end, he found that even Taiyi Zhenren's luck and fortune had been stolen!
"No, this is impossible …"
