The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 435 He harbored wicked thoughts

That Taiyi Zhenren is not only unreasonable.

With a hint of a sneak attack in mind, he suddenly took out the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover," the treasure of the Golden Light Cave.

They simply trapped her and burned her to death.

Lady Shiji became the first disciple of the Jie Sect to be included in the Investiture of the Gods.

At the same time, it resolved the "divine tribulation" of Taiyi Zhenren, and from then on, Taiyi Zhenren was not listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

Even his disciple Nezha was able to achieve physical immortality and become an official in the Heavenly Court.

The so-called physical attainment of sainthood sounds very impressive.

But in reality, it's nothing more than 'physical transformation'.

The gods on the Investiture of the Gods were all enfeoffed as true spirits after their deaths.

This is called direct deification, subject to the constraints of the God-Slaying Whip and the Investiture of the Gods List.

Those who died and were listed on the Investiture of the Gods faced extreme restrictions and essentially had no freedom.

When serving in the Heavenly Court, one can no longer move about as freely as before.

They also have to abide by the rules and regulations of heaven, and there are many things they cannot do; their power and freedom are extremely limited.

Secondly, one must not go to the mortal realm without the Heavenly Emperor's order.

Furthermore, one must not interfere privately with worldly affairs and suffering (such as droughts, floods, man-made disasters, and other matters).

Furthermore, one must not do anything that is outside one's authority.

Third, once one's soul is included in the Investiture of the Gods, one will no longer be able to cultivate independently.

The strength one possesses when listed on the Investiture of the Gods remains the same throughout their life.

Even before the Investiture of the Gods, some people volunteered to become officials in the Heavenly Court.

Even if one is powerful enough, it's still like working for the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West.

The disciples of the Chan and Jie sects were all immortals and disciples of sages.

How can someone be willing to obey orders?
However, the direct transmission of the Chan Sect was limited to only twelve disciples.

Even if you include the two immortals Yun Zhongzi and the Antarctic Immortal Weng, as well as their third and fourth generation disciples, there are only a few dozen of them.

There's simply not enough to gather 365 true gods.

It would be strange if the Jie Sect, with its more than 10,000 disciples, didn't scheme against them.

If Li Jingxiao were Yuanshi Tianzun, he would also try his best to send the disciples of the Jie Sect to the Heavenly Court.

It's not just a matter of saving face; it's also related to Daotong.

Once a great war begins, even saints cannot stop many things.

So if you have the opportunity to become a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, don't be fooled by this sage's cunning.

He could be a bit cunning, but he was genuinely good to his apprentices.

At least in terms of protecting his own, Yuanshi Tianzun is no less than Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Moreover, in terms of scheming, the Tongtian Sect Leader is indeed no match for the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
-
Those who achieve physical sainthood will not only be able to cultivate further and increase their strength in the future.

It also offers a high degree of freedom.

Unfortunately, in the entire Investiture of the Gods war, only seven people—Li Jing, Nezha, Jinzha, Muzha, Yang Jian, Wei Hu, and Lei Zhenzi—achieved physical sainthood.

However, in the Investiture of the Gods war, it seemed that the Jie Sect had lost completely.

However, after the Investiture of the Gods, the vast majority of the 365 righteous gods in the Heavenly Court were disciples of the Intercepting Sect.

Not only did they preserve the lineage, but they also gained most of the positions in the Heavenly Court and at least half of its power.

For example, the leaders of the Dou Department and the Lei Department, and the Golden Spirit Mother.

After being deified, she became Doumu Yuanjun, who ruled over all the stars.

One of them was Wen Zhong, a disciple of the Holy Mother Jinling, who was given the title of "Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable".

He was appointed as the head of the Thunder Department by the Primordial Celestial Venerable himself.

The Thunder Department is also the head of the eight departments of the Heavenly Court.

Wen Zhong, as the highest god of the Thunder Department, has actual ruling power.

It can mobilize heavenly soldiers and generals.

They also controlled weather changes and punished those who disobeyed.

They wield immense power.

A temporary setback does not equate to permanent failure.

The Jade Emperor, seemingly watching the events unfold from the sidelines, ultimately emerged as the winner.

But in reality, neither the disciples of the Chan Sect nor the Jie Sect looked down on him.

Moreover, after the Investiture of the Gods, the Investiture List was not put under the control of the Jade Emperor.

It was still in the hands of the Primordial Celestial Venerable. However, four of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect's direct disciples, along with the vice-leader, the Daoist Burning Lamp, betrayed the sect and went to the Western Sect.

His reputation was completely ruined.

Both the Chan and Jie schools can be considered losers.
-
After recognizing Lady Shiji, Li Jingxiao naturally wouldn't harm her.

Seeing that this woman is still alive and well, you can tell that the Investiture of the Gods has not yet begun.

At this time, the Jie Sect was at the height of its power. If you offended the Jie Sect, you would die without even knowing how.

Li Jingxiao's eyes darted around, and he thought to himself that neither the Chan Sect nor the Jie Sect were easy to mess with, after all, they had two sages standing behind them.

If things go wrong, you might end up being the one who gets listed on the Investiture of the Gods first.

She even replaced Lady Shiji on the Investiture of the Gods list.

Moreover, even if he released Shiji and then left,

The disciples of the Jie Sect were known for holding grudges yet remaining united.

There will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.

Leaving directly is not a good solution either.

Thinking of this, when Li Jingxiao looked at Lady Shiji again, he suddenly felt that this woman was really beautiful.

She also possesses a mature charm, much like that of Ao Huiji.

He immediately had wicked thoughts.

He bowed respectfully to Lady Shiji and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoist. I have mistakenly entered this precious land; it was truly an unintentional mistake."

Please forgive me, fellow Daoist.

Hearing this, Lady Shiji breathed a sigh of relief.

It's foolish to rush in and get beaten when you're clearly outmatched.

Moreover, when Li Jingxiao suddenly appeared, Shi Ji was bathing in the spiritual spring.

But he also saw that Li Jingxiao had his back to him.

When he saw himself, he spoke first before turning around.

The subsequent fights were also defensive; he did not launch any attacks.

Thinking about it this way, they both held back and took the initiative to admit their mistake.

If you insist on clinging to it...

That's just asking for trouble!
Moreover, being completely overwhelmed by Li Jingxiao, Shi Ji was actually a little panicked.

When I looked at Li Jingxiao again, I saw that he was wearing a purple robe with the Eight Trigrams.

He wore a sun-chasing crown, fire-breathing boots, and held a jade folding fan in his hand.

Not only was he elegant, but his attire also revealed him to be an extraordinary person.

More importantly, he is young, handsome, and incredibly talented.

He doesn't look like a playboy at all.

Perhaps he has no shortage of beautiful wives and concubines, so why would he become a lecher?
It is clear that women are also members of the foreign trade association.

She put away the Tai'a sword in her hand and hurriedly tidied her hair and clothes.

He curtsied in return, saying, "In that case, please leave on your own, so as not to cause any misunderstanding."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao knew there was hope.

But to take it any further today would indeed be somewhat reckless.

After thinking for a moment, he bowed again.

When it leaped away, it didn't go far.

I decided to choose a nice spot in these mountains for some quiet retreat.

After all, although he had easily defeated Shi Ji, this woman's strength in the Jie Sect was indeed not that great.

There are many people in the Jie Sect who are more powerful than her.

It would be better to find an opportunity to get in touch with her later and try to get some useful information out of her.

We'll take this opportunity to settle down temporarily, so we don't run into any powerful figures as soon as we leave the mountains.

When Shi Ji saw that he had really left, she felt relieved, but at the same time, she still felt a little regretful.

Under other circumstances, given Shiji's enlightened and cultivated mind, she would most likely not have been moved by emotions.

However, during the great calamity of heaven and earth, many people died and were listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

So many disciples of the Jie Sect, they all seemed to be mindless, going to their deaths.

To put it bluntly, it's because a great calamity can severely impair rationality.
