Chapter 427 The Fighting Department is One Family
Yang He returned to the main world, and the image of the Ghost True Lord after becoming an immortal flashed through his mind. Nuo Xiang Gui noticed that the permanent character had completely turned into a wisp of black smoke, which was faintly visible yet omnipresent.

The patterns on the two Nuo flags became more complex and mysterious.

"The regular characters have already been deified, but the backstory isn't over yet?"

As Yang He muttered to himself, he simultaneously unleashed the Corpse Transformation Immortal and Puppet Transformation Immortal techniques, and the sounds of flesh and bones regenerating echoed outwards.

puff.

His right arm was partially turned into a corpse, and his left arm was partially turned into a ghost. His limbs instantly grew to twenty meters in length.

The limbs pierced through the eight levels of hell in an instant, like two long snakes lying across the shallow layer of endless hell, causing countless evil spirits to vanish into thin air.

"Hehe, the power of the Immortal Transformation Technique has also greatly increased."

"but……"

Yang He withdrew his supernatural powers, and it took two or three breaths for his arms to return to their original state.

"However, his body and soul are somewhat unstable. After the permanent characters were made gods, the Immortal Transformation Technique formed by the Three Ghost Lineages is now somewhat uncontrollable."

"It's not too troublesome. Afterwards, you can go to the Heavenly Court to obtain a more profound lineage. Currently, the Four Ghosts' methods can only be cultivated up to the True Immortal level."

Yang He glanced at his spoils from the trip and found only one Heavenly Court Seal.

[Heavenly Court: 0/1 (0%)]

With his current strength, exploring the Heavenly Court sect instance would undoubtedly be a waste.

Yang He's sect's stories include Nine Dragons Island, the Paradise World, the Heavenly Court, and the half-ruined Nuwa Palace.

He suddenly remembered something and took out the fragments of the Investiture of the Gods that he had kept in the temple.

[Vulgar things: gods give birth to gods]

[Related Allusion: "The Sealing of Ghosts Terrace" - mundane objects are incomplete and cannot enter the world of the allusion]

"Logically speaking, since the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation has not yet ended and the Investiture of the Gods ceremony is already more than half completed, there shouldn't be another story about the Investiture of the Gods Platform."

"Why does it feel like gods appear out of thin air?"

As Yang He pondered, the mundane objects from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation landed in his palm. Because they incorporated numerous allusions, the objects displayed a dazzling array of colors.

The gods seemed out of place, and a hint appeared on the panel.

The timelines of the stories "Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation" and "Ghost Sealing Platform" are too far apart to be reconciled.

"Indeed, the idea of ​​gods begetting gods is a story independent of the Investiture of the Gods."

"Is it possible..."

Yang He narrowed his eyes. The divine beings and mortals were the Investiture of the Gods itself, and the number of fragments was likely over three hundred. The havoc in the Heavenly Palace only amounted to twenty or thirty, which seemed illogical.

He suspects that the second deification ceremony took place in the main world.

"Thinking about it is unrealistic. The Heavenly Court of later generations has probably already been destroyed. How can I use a patched-up Investiture of the Gods to confer titles on the immortals and gods of the previous dynasty?"

Yang He was filled with thoughts, but could not come to a valid conclusion.

He instructed his disciples to pay close attention to the fragments of the Investiture of the Gods, and then summoned the panel again.

[Vulgar things: ghosts give birth to ghosts]

[Related story: "Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation" - Do you wish to consume 10 points of Spirit Vision to enter the story world?]

"determine."

The regular characters have all been deified, but Yang He still has doubts in his heart. There will definitely be a dramatic change after the deification ceremony.

He shook his head; everything remained a mystery.

"I still have to say goodbye to my fellow disciples, and I don't know what the reward will be."

The time span between Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West is extremely large and cannot be calculated based on the dynastic changes of the previous life.

The story of the havoc in Heaven may have been over for hundreds of years.

The "Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation" cannot be used to impersonate the Celestial Venerable of the Void Patrol and Robbery.

[The "Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation" cannot be used to portray the Netherworld Patrol Sea Ghost Yuan Zhenjun]

[The "Ten Thousand Ghosts Formation" cannot portray the ancient Buddha Namo Immaculate]

Yang Hehe was not surprised. The regular characters had already gone to the Upper Realm, so it was impossible for them to return to the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to continue watching the Investiture of the Gods ceremony.

He quickly scanned the available roles and refreshed the page a few times.

A purple light flickered.

[Jiazi Tai Sui (Purple): You were originally a minister of King Zhou of Shang. You were blinded for advising against the construction of the Deer Terrace. You were later rescued by the Pure Void Moral True Lord and taken as his disciple. Now you have been appointed as the Jiazi Tai Sui.]

"Yang Ren?"

Yang He looked tempted, but quickly dismissed the idea.

Yang Ren and he had a good relationship, even a life-or-death bond. It would be inhumane to directly take credit for him.

"Forget it, we're all fellow disciples of the Chan Sect. Besides, the nine incarnations of the Immaculate Buddha have to be permanent characters, and that thing is definitely a hidden danger."

Yang He randomly selected a soldier to play the role of, only carrying the Pupil Demon.

“Play the role of a soldier from Xiqi.”

.........

The investiture ceremony was drawing to a close, and those who were subsequently conferred titles were almost all Great Luo Golden Immortals, but their immortal ranks varied.

Even most of them are not as good as Wen Zhong, who barely became an immortal.

Grand Tutor Wen, at least, became a righteous god headed by the Thunder Department.

Three hundred and seventy-three immortals and gods were successively conferred titles on the list, and the celestial phenomena caused by the Investiture of the Gods subsided. Xiqi was also cleaning up the battlefield.

Ji Fa issued orders, leading hundreds of thousands of half-human, half-ghost people to the city gate.

It is said that a sacrifice to heaven and earth will be held two days later, and if heaven allows it, the people who have gone astray will be sent into reincarnation.

Nezha stood atop the city wall, watching the grand spectacle unfold within the city.

Was Ji Fa a wise ruler?
maybe.

Even before Ji Fa ascended the throne, he had already distributed the city's wealth and land to the soldiers, and promised a share to all the civil officials who survived. However, Nezha always felt that offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was not a good thing.

"Junior brother," Yang Jian, along with Huang Tianhua and Lei Zhenzi, arrived at the top of the city wall, "after the Investiture of the Gods ends, are you planning to return to the sect?"

Nezha looked up at the Investiture Platform, shook his head and said, "No, I'll find a place with abundant Yin energy to cultivate diligently. I'm confident that I can cross the three realms of Transcending Tribulation in ten years, and hopefully I won't fall too far behind."

Huang Tianhua patted Nezha on the shoulder, "I estimate it will take about a hundred years."

"You guys are saying that since Junior Brother Yang He ascended to heaven first, could it be that by the time we reach the Heavenly Court, he will already be a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

"Maybe, haha."

Yang Jian suddenly looked doubtful and pointed to the Investiture of the Gods.

The words "clouds and sky" appeared.

They also heard Jiang Ziya's murmur, "Yunxiao is an outer disciple of the Jie Sect. Although he was transformed from a resentful corpse after death, his movements are all in accordance with the way of Heaven. Now that your resentment has been dispelled and you have returned to the Great Dao, you have been blessed by the Heavenly Court."

Nezha muttered a few words, his junior brother really had a lot of bad luck with people. He heard that Jiang Ziya had once thought of betrothing Deng Jiugong's daughter to Yang He.

Deng Chanyu was later defeated and killed in the attack on Chaoge City.

It seems he was bestowed the title of Star Lord? That's right, the Six Harmonies Star Lord.

"I hereby appoint you as [Doumu Yuanjun]."

“It resides in the Purple Palace and Dipper Enclosure, corresponding to the pivot of the celestial constellations, in charge of the order of all things and the arrangement of the stars, and in charge of the power to illuminate the three realms and deliver from calamities.”

Yang Jian couldn't help but clap his hands, "Isn't it that Qiongxiao previously conferred the title of Po Jun Star Lord?"

"Yes, it was just conferred the title not long ago."

Doumu Yuanjun is the mother of all the stars in the Big Dipper. Whether it is Liuhe Xingjun or Pojun Xingjun, they are all immortals who assist Yunxiao.

Unexpectedly, Yang He's ill-fated relationships all piled up at once.

Huang Tianhua smiled knowingly, and was about to say a few words when he saw Nezha frowning and looking into the distance, where a figure was climbing up the city wall.

Lei Zhenzi grinned, and lightning began to brew within his mouth.

Yang Jian quickly stopped Lei Zhenzi. The figure that came was just an ordinary soldier, but it was obvious that he had come on purpose and did not try to hide himself.

"who!!"

"Junior brother?"

Nezha's question and Huang Tianhua's reprimand rang out at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at the newcomer in disbelief, only to see the soldiers stop in their tracks and look up at the illusory cloud image formed by the Investiture of the Gods.

After Yunxiao was bestowed the title of Doumu Yuanjun, she wore a magnificent and elegant Taoist robe.

Her slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she smiled at the soldier. Then, the fragment of the Investiture of the Gods, along with her remnant soul, disappeared.

Huang Tianhua asked incredulously, "Junior Brother Yang He, how...how did you descend to the mortal realm?"

The soldier chuckled and said, "The wisp of consciousness I left behind was mainly to meet you all one last time, in case we can't catch up for the next few hundred years."

Yang He was able to observe the Investiture of the Gods ceremony through his spiritual vision. He had been watching for a while after arriving in the world of the story, and he never expected that Yunxiao could become Doumu Yuanjun.

In the original work, Doumu Yuanjun's position was that of the Golden Light Holy Mother.

As for the Golden Light Holy Mother's celestial position, it seems she has been transferred to command troops in the Heavenly River. I didn't pay attention to the specifics, but it's definitely not as high as that of Doumu Yuanjun.

Doumu Yuanjun is the mother of all stars and also the head of the Doubu (斗部) righteous god.

Yang He felt pity. Those assigned to the Heavenly River would face a life-or-death situation. The heavenly soldiers and generals would also have to face the ruthless Monkey King in the future. The Monkey King could kill his way from the South Heavenly Gate to the Lingxiao Palace without even blinking an eye.

Journey to the West seems very positive, but from the perspective of the heavenly soldiers and generals, it is a complete horror story.

Monkey King not only wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court, but also frequently went to the Heavenly Court to mobilize troops to attack demons and monsters on his journey to the West.

It's worth noting that many demons and monsters, even immortals and Buddhas, have suffered setbacks.

The original work does not describe the losses of the heavenly soldiers and generals, but it is easy to imagine that they could not have escaped unscathed. Monkey King must have killed countless of them.

"Brother Nezha."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, Yang He took out a relic that shimmered with a faint light.

"This is……"

"The relics of the Daoist Ran Deng, plus a method for achieving immortality suitable for you, will help you attain immortality and enlightenment. My master specifically instructed me to give this to you."

Yang He also taught Nezha the method of becoming an immortal, the Blazing Immortal, thus fulfilling his promise to Taiyi Zhenren.

"Thank you, junior brother."

Nezha's eyes reddened slightly, but he carefully tucked the Nezha into his arms and smiled again.

"Junior brother, is Master alright?"

"It's nothing serious."

Yang He couldn't help but chuckle. Taiyi Zhenren was reincarnated as Red Boy. He wondered how Nezha would react to seeing his master, who looked so similar.

"What about Master Yu Ding Zhenren?" Yang Jian couldn't help but ask.

"The twelve Golden Immortals are blessed by Heaven, but I don't know much about the specifics."

Nezha could tell that Yang Hehe was not just going through the motions, and his expression was filled with joy.

"Fellow disciples," Yang He glanced at the four of them, "have you never considered staying in the mortal realm after becoming immortals instead of ascending to the upper realm?"

"I'm afraid not."

Yang Jian's cultivation had reached the Void Returning Realm, and his soul was visible between his brows.

The three souls and seven spirits were twisted, like a large number of birds and beasts piled up and sewn together.

"Ever since I approached the level of a True Immortal, Heavenly Tribulations have been omnipresent, and I have a premonition that even if I successfully overcome them, they will recur."

Yang He nodded, confirming that what Lu Ya Daoist said was true.

After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, immortals could not escape the Heavenly Court; there were only two ways to avoid it.

Buddhism can either plunge into another deep pit or hide in the Ruins of Return.
