On Jin'ao Island.

Although only 30% of the believers left, it left people with a feeling of loneliness and desolation.

"If anyone wants to leave, go ahead! I won't stop you!" Tongtian's voice spread throughout Jin'ao Island again.

However, no one left.

The Golden Hoop Immortal knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Master's kindness to us is as great as a mountain. I cannot leave!"

"I can't wait!"

Biluxian and Wuyunxian followed suit and knelt on the ground.

Of the seven attendant immortals, Qiushou Immortal, Jinguang Immortal, and Lingya Immortal were suppressed, and Chang'er Dingguang Immortal rebelled and was killed and included in the List of Gods, so only these three were left.

"Master, if we don't leave, we will live and die with Jiejiao!"

The remaining Jiejiao immortals all knelt down, their voices shaking the sky.

Tongtian was very pleased to see this scene.

It can be seen that the Jiejiao sect he established was not a complete failure!

"Ao Jin, come here." Sun Wukong waved his hand and said a few words in Ao Jin's ear.

Immediately afterwards, Ao Jin shouted and took the lead into the air.

"The time is almost up. Those whose names are on the Conferred God List, follow me to heaven!"

Behind him, Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao, Jinling Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu and other direct disciples followed.

Immediately afterwards, more than three hundred figures followed.

Although the number of people is not as large as the previous 3,000, their momentum is not weaker at all, and is even stronger.

This is because there are several quasi-saints among this group of people, and the strongest one, Ao Jin, is only one step away from becoming a saint.

The sound was so powerful that it shook the entire world!

Originally, three thousand people from the Jiejiao sect were saved by the Buddhist sect, and even Duobao ran away. Many people were still watching the joke.

As a result, when all the people from the Jiejiao sect who were included in the List of Gods came out, no one dared to laugh anymore.

These are the true foundation of Jiejiao, and those three thousand people are just a foil.

"Is Tongtian serious about this?!" Yuanshi was shocked and angry.

Although he was unwilling to allow his disciples to be deified, he did not even want to deify them in their physical bodies.

However, he didn't want to see the disciples of Jiejiao become gods in the flesh!
What he should have done was to defeat Jiejiao and crush Tongtian’s pride!

Yuanshi thought about it, then rushed to Heaven with the List of Gods.

In the Heavenly Palace, Haotian was overjoyed when he felt the arrival of the immortals from the Jiejiao Sect.

With the addition of these people, his Heavenly Court will surely increase in strength, and may even become the largest force in the entire prehistoric world.

Thinking of this, Haotian's face flushed.

The other saints also knew that something big was happening and rushed to heaven.

Tongtian stayed indoors on the pretext of seclusion.

In the Biyou Palace, Tongtian sat across from Sun Wukong and asked, "Senior, will your plan work? Will Hongjun really hand over that thing?"

Sun Wukong took a sip of tea and smiled.

"The Conferred God Tribulation is related to Hongjun's overall layout, he will give it."

In the Heavenly Palace, as the people from the Jiejiao sect got closer and closer, the joy on Haotian's face became more and more intense.

However, just as Haotian was preparing to welcome the people from Jiejiao, a golden light suddenly appeared, and an old man in a white robe appeared in the Heavenly Palace.

"Master!" Haotian called out excitedly.

The Jiejiao's surrender is indeed a big deal, even the Taoist Patriarch has come.

But he also knew that the master must have been a Dharma body.

Hongjun's face showed no emotion at this time. He said, "The Jiejiao people cannot be deified, at least not now!"

"Master, why is this happening?" Haotian was a little surprised.

Isn't the purpose of establishing the List of Gods to expand the Heavenly Court and strengthen its power?

Besides, wasn’t it the master who proposed signing the List of Gods?
Why now?

"He and his disciples in Jiejiao want to become gods in their physical bodies. Once they become gods in their physical bodies, the restraining power of the divine whip will be extremely low!" Hongjun said in a deep voice.

"What?" The joy on Haotian's face disappeared and he was shocked.

You know, there are several quasi-saints among the disciples of Jiejiao.

If the Divine Whip and the List of Gods cannot restrain them, how can I suppress them?

The Heaven at that time will no longer be Haotian’s Heaven, but Jiejiao’s Heaven!

How terrible is this!
"Master, I don't want to be deified anymore, I don't want it anymore..." Haotian said hurriedly.

Although the population of Heaven is small now, they still obey his orders.

Although the arrival of the Jiejiao people did make the Heavenly Court prosperous, the Heavenly Court was not under his control at that time!

Hongjun ignored Haotian and watched Ao Jin and the others from Jiejiao coming.

"Greetings to the Taoist Ancestor. I, Ao Jin, follow the order of my master and lead the disciples of Jiejiao to participate in the Conferred God Ceremony!" Ao Jin said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The other disciples of Jiejiao followed and were furious.

"Your disciples of Jiejiao agreed that 365 people would be on the list, why are there eight missing now?" Hongjun said.

"Reporting to the Taoist Ancestor, among these eight people, Chang'er Dingguangxian has been listed, and the other seven have all entered Buddhism. My Jiejiao has so many people on the list, which can be regarded as worthy of the Taoist Ancestor's trust." Ao Jin looked at Hongjun without fear at all.

Even though Hongjun had already pressed down with his own pressure like a huge rock, Ao Jin did not frown.

"Tongtian has indeed taught a good disciple!" Hongjun smiled, "However, if Jiejiao wants to be included in the Conferred God List, I will not agree."

During the Lich's calamity, he wanted Gonggong to crash into Mount Buzhou, but the mountain was hit by the turtle and the sky was repaired.

Not only was it repaired, but it also became stronger, and the world became wider and more solid.

As a result, it became much more difficult for him to transcend the laws of nature.

Now is the time of the Conferred God Tribulation. If the two sects of Chan and Jie do not fight each other, how can the destiny of Xuanmen be divided?

If it is not divided, how can the prehistoric world weaken and how can he transcend?

That’s why he couldn’t allow the Jiejiao people to become gods in their physical bodies.

At this moment, Yuanshi and other saints also rushed to the Heavenly Palace.

Especially Yuanshi, his eyes became slightly stern when he saw the people from Jiejiao.

"Daozu, you said you would sign the List of Conferred Gods, and my master signed his name. Why do you regret it now?" Ao Jin said.

"Ao Jin, how dare you! Do you have the right to speak here?" Yuanshi shouted angrily.

In fact, when he saw Ao Jin, it would be more appropriate to describe him as a mixture of shock and anger.

Ao Jin's strength...

Isn’t it said that the karmic shackles of the dragon clan are very powerful?

Why does Ao Jin seem to be only one step away from becoming a saint now?
He had been fighting with Tongtian for so long, and after becoming a saint, his main focus was on disciples.

Although the disciples of Jiejiao are stronger than those of Chenjiao, they still have the Immortal of the South Pole to keep the situation in check.

But now...

Yuanshi felt very upset!
Hongjun raised his hand slightly, signaling Yuanshi not to speak for the time being.

"Who instructed Tongtian to put the disciples of Jiejiao on the list? Was it Luohu?" Hongjun said with a smile.

"Daozu, my master is a saint, who can order him around?" Ao Jin also said with a smile.

Laozi, Nuwa, and the two Western saints all admired Ao Jin's courage and magnanimity.

Even Yuanshi, who was hostile to Tongtian, had to admit that Ao Jin was a man of great character.

If this boy hadn't died, he would probably have become a saint!
This made Yuanshi even more wary.

"Daozu, please allow my disciples from Jiejiao to be included in the list, so that they can obtain the status of gods as soon as possible and govern the ancient world." Ao Jin continued.

Although he seemed calm and composed when talking to Hongjun, and even forced Hongjun, he was a little panicked in his heart.

After all, he was facing the Taoist Ancestor, an existence that was superior to the saints.

"Let me be frank! If the disciples of Jiejiao want to be included in the Investiture of the Gods, they can! But they must enter the list with their true spirits! The creatures on the Investiture of the Gods must be restrained by the Divine Whip of the Investiture of the Gods and must abide by the laws of heaven!"

Hongjun narrowed his eyes slightly, still smiling on his face, but his eyes were a little cold.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Jiejiao were all shocked.

"Daozu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. There was no such item when the List of Gods was signed." Laozi said.

"Yes, Daozu," Nuwa continued, "as long as Tongtian is willing to restrain his disciples, even if they are not constrained by the Divine Whip and the List of Conferred Gods, they can still benefit the prehistoric world!"

They have already seen that it was Fellow Daoist Qi Tian's idea to include the disciples of Jiejiao on the list, so how could they not lend a hand?
"Hmph!" Hongjun snorted coldly.

He didn't say it at the time, wasn't it because he didn't expect Tongtian to do that?
Who could have imagined that Tongtian would be so depressed?

But Hongjun cannot use force.

Although the Way of Heaven has intelligence, it still has its own operating rules.

"Daozu, my master said that we, the Jiejiao, are willing to make concessions, but we want to ask Daozu for something!" Ao Jin said after a moment's silence.

After saying this, his heart began to lift.

After all, this is a negotiation with the Taoist Ancestor.

And Yuanshi sneered again and again!
How dare you negotiate with Master? You must be tired of living!

Tongtian definitely didn't want to face his master head-on, so he sent Ao Jin here. He really had a good idea!

Hongjun smiled, and his smile looked very warm, but the chillness could not be dissipated.

"What does Tongtian want?"

"My master said that our Jiejiao sect is willing to support the Shang Dynasty. If they lose, the True Spirit will be listed, and it will be blamed on my Jiejiao sect's lack of strength. And what my master wants is the original Human Book..."

At this moment, cold sweat dripped down Ao Jin's forehead.

Of course, these words were not said to him by Tongtian, but by Sun Wukong.

Ancestor!
I hope you are reliable, otherwise I might end up going out sideways today.

When the saints heard Ao Jin say that he wanted to ask Hongjun for something, they were a little surprised and thought that Ao Jin was very courageous.

But when they heard that Jiejiao wanted a human book, everyone thought Ao Jin was too bold!

After so many years, all the saints know that there are three paths in the prehistoric world: heaven, earth and man.

The laws of heaven suppress the laws of earth and humanity.

And the Book of Humanity, that is, the Book of Life and Death, is a treasure that can control the underground!
Would Hongjun be willing to let go of something like this?

"The Book of Humanity, do you in Jiejiao want the Book of Humanity? Or does that Monkey King want it?" Hongjun's face gradually turned cold.

"Tao Ancestor..."

Before Ao Jin could finish his words, at this moment, the sky suddenly changed, dark clouds swept in, and a thunder dragon roamed inside, carrying the momentum to destroy the nine heavens.

Even the saints felt a little nervous under this momentum.

For a moment, the scene froze.

No one dared to speak.

After a while, Hongjun sneered: "Okay! Okay! You Jiejiao want the Book of Humanity?"

The momentum pressing down on Ao Jin instantly reached its limit. Ao Jin groaned in pain, his legs bent under the pressure.

"Senior Brother Ao Jin!" Zhao Gongming exclaimed.

"Nothing!" Ao Jin grinned, but his face was a little ferocious, and he was obviously not feeling well. Zhao Gongming gritted his teeth and didn't care about anything else. He put a hand on Ao Jin's shoulder and shared the burden with Ao Jin.

When the pressure came upon him, Zhao Gongming's body was also bent.

But even so, Zhao Gongming still said with difficulty: "I, a disciple of Jiejiao...will not surrender!"

"Brother!" Yunxiao stretched out his hand without thinking.

Next came Qiongxiao, Bixiao, the Holy Mother Wudang, the Holy Mother Jinling, the Holy Mother Guiling, and the remaining three hundred or so people from Jiejiao.

"I, Jiejiao, will not surrender! We cannot bring shame to our Master!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

More than 300 disciples of Jiejiao worked together, but Hongjun did not show any mercy, and the pressure became stronger and stronger.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"..."

Mouths of blood spurted out of the mouths of the Jiejiao disciples.

But even so, they did not kneel down, nor did they beg for mercy.

There is only determination in his eyes!
After the three thousand scums of the Jiejiao sect left, the remaining Jiejiao disciples became the real Jiejiao disciples.

In the Biyou Palace, Tongtian saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush straight to the Heaven to protect his disciples.

"Stop!" Sun Wukong shouted.

We can't lose our composure at this time.

Tongtian then stopped and said angrily: "Daoyou, Hongjun is shameless. He even attacked my disciple. I couldn't help it!"

Sun Wukong shook his head: "You! You are still too young. Didn't you see that Hongjun deliberately led you to the Heavenly Palace?"

Tongtian gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't show up, they will..."

Before Tongtian could finish, Sun Wukong smiled and said, "No, it would be really bad if you showed up. Hongjun can't really kill you, Jiejiao disciple, just wait and see!"

After hearing this, Tongtian finally gave up.

He still believed in what Sun Wukong said.

In the Heavenly Palace, Hongjun frowned.

Even though he bullied Ao Jin and the others by taking advantage of his power, as Sun Wukong said, he didn't dare to kill them.

I just want to lure Tongtian out.

If Tongtian were here, it would be more convenient.

But Tongtian hasn't shown up yet. Could it be that he doesn't care about the lives of these disciples?

Or……

Is the Monkey King manipulating everything behind the scenes?
Thinking of this, Hongjun's expression became even gloomier.

He has always been calculating against the common people, even against saints, and he has always been successful.

But as soon as the Monkey King intervenes, he will be frustrated.

Could this person really be his nemesis?
Also, are the Monkey King and Rāhu the same person?
"Hmph!" Seeing that Tongtian did not show up, Hongjun had no choice but to give up. If this continued, all the people from the Jiejiao would probably die.

Even he, the ancestor of Heavenly Dao, cannot bear the consequences of interfering with the general trend of Heavenly Dao.

The disciples of Jiejiao were all seriously injured, but they supported each other and no one surrendered from beginning to end.

When Hongjun saw this scene, he felt it was very difficult for a moment.

The deification of the Jiejiao body is related to whether one can transcend the heavenly way, and the human book is related to the transcendence of the earthly way. Both are of great importance.

After thinking for a while, Hongjun said: "I can give you the Human Book, but it must be after the Battle of the Gods is over!"

Ao Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

The ancestor was indeed very good at predicting things. He actually knew that the Taoist Ancestor would say this.

"Daozu, please swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao!" Ao Jin said again.

The saints were stunned again.

However, Hongjun actually made a heavenly oath, and then Hongjun said: "Heaven wants to help Zhou, and you, Jiejiao, will intercept the opportunity to survive, so you should help Shang. What will happen to Jiejiao at that time depends on the will of heaven!"

It is said to be God's will, but in fact it is also Hongjun's intention.

What he said actually meant only one thing, which was to make things difficult for you, Jiejiao!
"Daozu, the conflict between Shang and Zhou is a matter for the human race." Laozi came out and said, "We don't mind the immortals interfering, but anyone who has attained the Tao is not allowed to attack mortals."

At this moment, the human race’s Hall of Heroes appeared outside the Heavenly Palace, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors showed up, revealing their divine power.

They didn't say anything, but their attitude was clear.

"allow!"

As Hongjun's voice fell, this rule, which was originally set by the human race, was brought to the forefront and became more effective.

"You humans, take care of yourselves!"

Hongjun turned away, and this time he suffered another crushing defeat.

But fortunately, there is enough room left and there is still a chance for everything.

Monkey King, you forced me to do this!
Returning to Zixiao Palace, Hongjun's face was gloomy.

He should have been the only one in the world, but someone appeared to oppose him.

The most important thing is that he seems to be unable to defeat the other party.

"I think I've figured it out. The Monkey King wants to liberate humanity and the underworld!" said a human face as it appeared.

"Humanity and the Underworld must be suppressed, otherwise Heaven will be the first to not let me go!" Hongjun said coldly, "Moreover, Zhou wants to destroy Shang. During this catastrophe, Heaven will completely enslave humanity. If I don't obey, the consequences will be serious!"

"It's not that I want to go against him, but he wants to go against me!"

As the ancestor of Heavenly Dao, he has not yet fully mastered Heavenly Dao. Now he can make plans behind Heavenly Dao's back, but if he fights Heavenly Dao head-on, he will be left aside by Heavenly Dao at any time.

That's why he couldn't wait to transcend the way of heaven.

"So, is the plan going smoothly?" the human face asked with a smile.

"Everything remains the same. I don't believe that I can't defeat the Monkey King!" Hongjun said coldly.

……

Xiqi.

A middle-aged man who looked disheveled came to the Xibohou Mansion.

He looked up at Ji Chang and cried out in grief, "Uncle, my father died in such a tragic way!"

This person is Jiang Huanchu's son Jiang Wenhuan.

Before Jiang Huanchu died, he sent someone to escort him away.

Dong Lu was destroyed and his father died. The former prince of Dong Lu was filled with grief and anger.

"My dear nephew, please accept my condolences! Emperor Xin was ruthless and cruel, and Brother Jiang's death was truly unjust. It's also my fault that Xiqi was tied down. Otherwise, I would have sent troops to help and joined Brother Jiang in defeating Shang!"

Ji Chang slammed the armrest of the chair hard, looking extremely angry.

But there was a hint of hidden joy in his eyes.

If Dong Lu is destroyed, the Shang Dynasty will definitely lose some popular support, which is an opportunity for Xiqi.

Ji Chang said again: "Why don't you rest in Xiqi for a while and recuperate. When the time comes, I will help Brother Jiang avenge this blood feud!"

"More..." Jiang Wenhuan looked sad, but before he could finish his words, he saw a man walking out.

When the man came out, Jiang Wenhuan's eyes turned red and he rushed towards him, roaring, "Shen Gongbao! It's you! You killed my father! I will kill you!"

Shen Gongbao waved his hand and Jiang Wenhuan flew backwards.

Jiang Wenhuan, who had landed on the ground, was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He knelt down and said, "Uncle, this man killed my father!"

Ji Chang asked, "My dear nephew, why do you say that? I did send Prime Minister Shen to help Dong Lu, but it is impossible for Prime Minister Shen to kill Brother Jiang."

"If it weren't for him, how could there be any other disciples of the Chan Sect? How could my father rebel? If my father hadn't rebelled, Dong Lu wouldn't have ended up in this situation!" Jiang Wenhuan said harshly.

"You're making it sound like I'm the one responsible for the Chan Sect's crimes." Shen Gongbao smiled and shook his head. "Your father, the Marquis of Dongbo, was a powerful ruler. How could we possibly influence whether he was plotting a rebellion? He's already harbored rebellious intentions. Don't put that accusation on me."

Jiang Wenhuan's expression changed because what Shen Gongbao said was true.

At that time, his father did have the intention of rebellion.

Jiang Wenhuan quickly regained his composure and continued, pointing at Shen Gongbao, "Even if it was indeed my father who wanted to rebel, the fall of Donglu and my father's death are all due to you. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have said such words that the descendants of the Jiang family no longer believe in Taoist priests!"

"Haha!" Shen Gongbao sneered.

"Prime Minister Shen, what's going on?" Ji Chang asked.

"Lord Bo, let me explain the reasons for this matter to you in detail. First, I warned Lord Dongbo to be careful of rebellion among his vassal states. However, Lord Dongbo was stubborn and self-willed, and refused to listen, which led to a crushing defeat!
Secondly, I went to Kunlun Mountain and invited my two senior brothers. Unfortunately, my senior brothers were also killed by those people from the Shang Dynasty. I have done my best for Donglu, but now they are being slandered! "

Shen Gongbao sighed.

"My two senior brothers are so pitiful. They were already free and easy people who had achieved the immortal path, but they were involved in this incident because of me and lost their lives."

Speaking of this, Shen Gongbao was sad and tears streamed down his face.

Jiang Wenhuan was stunned.

According to what Shen Gongbao said, not only is he not ashamed of Dong Lu, but it is Dong Lu that has let him down!
Finally, Jiang Wenhuan gritted his teeth and asked, "Then why did you run away from the battlefield?"

Shen Gongbao asked in return, "Didn't you run away too?"

Jiang Wenhuan: “…”

Then, Shen Gongbao said as a matter of course: "I, Shen Gongbao, am from Xiqi. I still have a useful body to serve the Duke of Xibo. How could I throw my life away in vain in your Donglu? I knew Donglu was going to be destroyed. I would be a fool not to run away."

Jiang Wenhuan was speechless. It seemed that what he said made a lot of sense!
Jiang Wenhuan then said with a look of shame: "I misunderstood the Prime Minister."

But he always felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Ji Chang said: "Okay, since it is a misunderstanding, just clear it up."

After a while, Shen Gongbao continued, "Bo Hou, I discovered something while visiting Dong Lu. In the Shang Dynasty, there was a remarkable man named Jiang Ziya, who was extremely skilled in unusual magic. Anyone cursed by him would be extremely unlucky."

"Huh? There is such a thing?" Ji Chang frowned.

"Uncle, Prime Minister Shen is right. This person does exist. Before he even showed up, he had already destroyed Dong Lu's 50,000 soldiers. In the end, even Dong Lu's city walls were destroyed by his magic. That's why Dong Lu suffered such a devastating defeat!"

Jiang Wenhuan gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to tear Jiang Ziya into pieces.

At this time, his hatred shifted from Shen Gongbao to Jiang Ziya.

When Jifa heard these words, his movements froze.

Strange magic?

Bad luck is almost the same!

At this time, Lei Zhenzi said fearfully: "What they said is probably true. Ever since I entered Xiqi, I always felt that the unlucky guy was right beside me...

That Jiang Ziya is probably the reincarnation of that unlucky guy! Although he lived far away in the Shang Dynasty, I lost half of my essence to him, so I am still very sensitive to his aura.

Ji Fa's expression was slightly stern.

Three thousand demons and three thousand avenues.

It is generally acknowledged that the unlucky guy's strength is not that strong.

But his rules are really too weird.

Sometimes Jifa even suspected that since all of them, the demon gods, had tried to stop Pangu and died in the end, this unlucky guy was also largely responsible.

"If that unlucky guy were in the Shang Dynasty, that would be a great blessing. Even though he can use his bad luck now, his own bad luck is overwhelming. Whoever he is with will be unlucky!"

Jifa said this, but his expression did not relax at all, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"However, this unlucky guy is extremely unpredictable. Is he Jiang Ziya? If we can get rid of him as soon as possible, we should kill him immediately!"

Jiang Ziya has been included in his list of those to be killed. (End of this chapter)
