Traveling through time, all of them are the protagonist's public enemies

Chapter 264 Conferred God
At the Six Paths of Reincarnation Plaza, Yang Chen reunites with Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, Qi Zhengyan, and Zhao Heng.

A smile upon meeting again feels like a lifetime ago.

Jiang Zhiwei dared not look at Yang Chen for long, forcing her gaze away and asking, "I wonder what the situation is like in the capital now?"

She was not involved in this mission in the capital city, and was somewhat curious about the aftermath of the upheaval at the Qionghua Banquet in the capital city.

"Senior Sister Jiang, please let me explain in detail..."

Meng Qi smiled and said vividly:
"Within the illusion array, the Mad Blade Su Meng killed the Demonic Six-Man Extinction Fan Changmiao. The officials of the Political Affairs Hall worked together to end the treacherous plot of the tyrannical emperor, the Luo Cult, and the Annihilation Heaven Gate in one fell swoop!"

"The officials of the Council of State Affairs prioritized the overall situation and did not implicate anyone. Now, the situation in the court has been stabilized."

The crown prince was not allowed to succeed to the throne, and the Prince of Jin ascended the throne instead.

King Zhao Heng of Wei was made Crown Prince.

Following the upheaval in Luoyang, the Council of State Affairs took control of the emperor's sword, and the tyrannical ruler was buried with the posthumous title "Li" (厉).

"I see……"

Jiang Zhiwei suddenly realized that such a major event had occurred in the capital a few days ago, and it was a pity that she had not been able to participate.

After completing this mission in the capital, the group received information about the next mission and learned about it.

It will begin in a year and a half!
The mission is set five hundred years after the Investiture of the Gods!

"Investiture of the Gods?"

"what is this?"

"Could it be like the Journey to the West mission that resulted in death last time?"

There are no legends of the Investiture of the Gods or Journey to the West in the main world, and Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu and others are unaware of them.

However, thanks to the explanations provided by the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, everyone also learned some of the inside stories of the Investiture of the Gods war:

"To prove the Great Dao, taking advantage of the absence of deities in the Heavenly Court, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, the Moral Heavenly Venerable, the Guide Daoist, and the Zhunti Daoist each sent their disciples down the mountain."

They either assisted the Shang Dynasty or helped the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Disputes arose, leading to a chaotic war. The souls of those who died in the war were enshrined in the Investiture of the Gods and transformed into deities in the Heavenly Court.

As the battle intensified, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun, among others, descended to the mortal realm to join the fray.

When the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was used, Lingbao Tianzun was defeated. He then unleashed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in an attempt to tear apart heaven and earth and reshape the earth, fire, water, and wind.

Fortunately, the other four powerful beings did their best to stop them and broke the Zhuxian Sword Formation, thus preventing the complete collapse of heaven and earth.

However, the Heavenly Court was forced to descend to the mortal realm due to this great battle, and all worldly affairs abruptly ceased.

This is the beginning and end of the "Investiture of the Gods".

...Is this the Investiture of the Gods?!
Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and the others were astonished to hear this, realizing that their mission was actually related to these powerful figures!

Simply incredible.

When Meng Qi learned about the Investiture of the Gods, he felt that it was a version without Hongjun, which led to the destruction of heaven and earth.

Jiang Zhiwei was shocked by the existence of the first three of the nine Taoist deities: Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun.

The Three Pure Ones hold a position of great esteem, far surpassing that of the Heavenly Emperor, and it's hard to believe that this mission is related to them.

Who are the Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti?

Jiang Zhiwei asked curiously.

How could these two be mentioned alongside the Three Pure Ones?
Meng Qi said, "The Guide Daoist is the Buddhist saint Amitabha, and the Zhunti Daoist is the ancient Bodhi Buddha."

This statement surprised everyone. Although Meng Qi's identity as a "monk" was not questioned, they still had doubts.

Because none of them had ever heard of these important figures.

Meng Qi wasn't surprised, but reminded everyone that the Investiture of the Gods world was good at making treasures, such as the Immortal Binding Rope, and that they needed to be prepared in advance. The group planned to exchange for the secret treasures before entering the mission.

The group then discussed how to prepare for the next mission.

Activities such as exchanging for secret treasures and upgrading treasured soldiers are intended to better prepare for the challenges of the next conferment of godhood.

After Zhao Heng became the Crown Prince, he was under surveillance and his ability to accumulate merit was limited. This time, he planned to reserve some merit for the secret treasure.

He decided to sublimate the treasure weapon "Fish-Dragon Sword," placing it in the central pillar of light in exchange for a wisp of the aura of ten thousand lights and a Dragon Shadow Stone for refining. The sublimated "Fish-Dragon Sword" became a mid-grade treasure weapon, capable of disrupting the enemy's primordial spirit and weakening their control over the power of heaven and earth. When fully activated, it could display a variety of divine abilities.

This sword is worth 4,200 merit points.

Zhao Heng spent 1,800 merit points this time, leaving 415 merit points for the next time.

Meng Qi then checked the quality of "Heaven's Wound" and "Flowing Fire" and found that "Heaven's Wound" was of low quality.

"Blazing Fire" is of medium grade and close to high grade, and its value increases due to absorbing the blood of the Wolf King and the Six Destroyers Demon.

Meng Qi is considering upgrading the "Heaven's Wound" rank.

Qi Zhengyan plans to upgrade the "Dragon Pattern Crimson Gold Sword" and use the remaining merit points to digest and comprehend the gains from the Wordless Stele. His goal is to achieve harmony between heaven and man and the perfection of the Purple Star River when he leaves the Six Paths, and then go out to comprehend the world.

But I don't seek instant success.

He exchanged a juvenile Frost Dragon scale and other auxiliary materials to upgrade the "Dragon Pattern Crimson Gold Sword".

It cost 1,400 merits.

The upgraded "Dragon Pattern Crimson Gold Sword (Cold Dragon)" becomes a mid-grade treasure weapon. It possesses dragon-like qualities and can freeze the bloodline and primordial spirit of enemies. When fully activated, it can display divine wonders such as swallowing clouds and spitting mist, and freezing the river surface. It is worth 3,300 merit points.

Qi Zhengyan also exchanged for three months of time.

Finally, only one hundred and forty-five good deeds remained.

Ruan Yushu said that the score was sufficient, but time was the biggest shortage.

She planned to exchange for six months to achieve harmony between heaven and man and stabilize her realm, after which she would comprehend the wordless stele, travel around, and save the remaining merits for exchanging for secret treasures next time.

After some deliberation, Meng Qi finally decided to exchange three months to cultivate the Eighth and Ninth Exterior Chapters.

Having initially mastered the Jade Void Pure Source Saber Technique and the Great Sun Tathagata Sword Technique, the remaining merits were used to sublimate "Heaven's Wound".

Jiang Zhiwei expressed her confusion about Meng Qi's cultivation in the Six Paths, but Meng Qi did not explain the reason, only saying that he had his own profound meaning.

"What about you?"

Jiang Zhi smiled and nodded, looking at Yang Chen. Unexpectedly, the two of them spoke at the same time this time.

Yang Chen said, "You go first."

Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "I am now at the second level of the Outer Realm, and I plan to exchange for three months of cultivation time to try to break through the first level of the Heavenly Ladder and enter the fourth level as soon as possible."

“Yes, judging solely from your cultivation speed, you have already surpassed Senior Su,” Yang Chen said.

"I owe a lot to your encouragement and guidance. I have hardly encountered any obstacles in my swordsmanship. I even broke through the death gate ahead of schedule, which surprised my master."

Jiang Zhi said with a smile.

To observe the swordsmanship of a hundred schools and pursue one's own swordsmanship—this is Jiang Zhiwei's ambition, and also Yang Chen's ambition.

Meng Qi said with a smile, "Senior Brother Yang, Senior Sister Jiang, I have found a clue to Wuyou Valley, located in Bomi, Hanhai!"

"How about we explore Worry-Free Valley together?"

Because the place was dangerous and Ruan Yushu and Qi Zhengyan were not strong enough, which would affect their cultivation, Meng Qi made this suggestion.

He went there with Yang Chen and Jiang Zhiwei.

Absolutely a piece of cake.

"Worry-Free Valley, what is that?" Zhao Heng asked in confusion.

Meng Qi explained the mystery of Zhenwu's demise to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng was unable to participate due to being monitored by the Council of State Affairs.

"No need to go. I've already explored the Valley of No Worries. Taking you there will count as completing the mission."

Yang Chen said with a smile.

"what?!"

Meng Qi was greatly surprised.
