Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 138 The Investiture of the Gods!

At this moment, after accepting Taihao's entrustment, Xihe rang the Chaos Bell, summoning many cultivators to gather in the Heavenly Court.

More than ten eons have passed since the last great calamity, and the Heavenly Court has grown much stronger than before. The most obvious change is its size.

Not only has the territory doubled, but the number of cultivators and their cultivation levels have also made significant progress.

Besides the Heavenly Emperor Xihe, a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, there are many other Quasi-Saints in the late stage, or even the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm!

For example, Zhen Yuanzi.

As for the Great Luo Golden Immortal, needless to say, the difference is several times greater!

Leaving aside the existing Grand Luo Golden Immortals in the Heavenly Court, many other Grand Luo Golden Immortals joined the Heavenly Court, such as the disciples who originally belonged to the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect...

For example, the Old Man of the South Pole.

Besides these, there are also some exceptionally talented cultivators who have broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The most typical example is Donghua Dijun, who is the reincarnation of Dongwanggong.

Therefore, compared to more than ten eons ago, the Heavenly Court is now vastly different! At this moment, after the Chaos Bell rang, countless cultivators rushed towards the Heavenly Court, clearly summoned by its power.

These cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, had to put away their arrogance upon arriving at the Heavenly Court, and dared not show the slightest disrespect.

The same applies to the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects who joined the Heavenly Court later.

After all, the cultivator they were about to face was far more powerful than their master!

Just then, endless moonlight fell, and a full moon suddenly rose. A woman dressed in a magnificent moon-white palace gown appeared at the highest point of the Heavenly Court.

This person was none other than Xihe!

Before Xihe could even speak after she appeared, the cultivators below bowed in unison.

"We have come to pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

Because Xihe did not have the habit of having people call her the Heavenly Emperor, she retained the previous title, including herself.

"I have summoned you all here for only one matter!"

Xihe didn't intend to keep everyone in suspense, but before revealing the details, she took out a scroll that appeared to be a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

The scroll exudes a spiritual aura and is clearly not an ordinary work.

Above it, three large characters were engraved in mysterious Taoist patterns.

"Investiture of the Gods!"

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the other cultivators, Zhu Li and I parted our lips slightly and slowly explained.

"I am acting on my master's orders to conquer the Chaos Beyond the Realm. I will be selecting a group of skilled warriors to accompany me. If any of you are interested, you may also apply!"

Chaos beyond the realm?

Upon hearing Xihe's words, all the cultivators exchanged bewildered glances, somewhat puzzled by Yanghe's meaning.

Beyond chaos, is there another world?

However, before they could ask any questions, Xihe explained again.

"The matter of the outer chaos has been personally entrusted to us by our master; you need not worry about it!"

"Since he is the Daoist Master Taihao, he cannot be fake!"

All the cultivators, including Zhen Yuanzi, reacted quickly and nodded repeatedly.

This is because, in addition to reverence for Taihao, there is also a sense of awe.

Because Taihao's strength has exceeded their imagination, it is even greater than the Heavenly Dao!

Therefore, naturally, they would not and dared not question Taihao's decree.

In fact, even if it were just Xihe, they wouldn't dare to question her or have any other thoughts. After all, even though it was just Xihe, her strength was overwhelming compared to all the cultivators present.

In other words, Xihe had a peaceful personality, so she didn't force them to do anything. If it were Dijun instead of Xihe, he wouldn't have consulted with them at all; he would have given the order long ago.

This was something that all the cultivators present were well aware of.

Therefore, if Xihe chooses them, they would not refuse.

Under these circumstances, Xihe spoke again, seemingly to dispel their worries and doubts.

"According to Master, there are countless opportunities in the outer chaos. If you can find one, it will greatly benefit your breakthrough."

"And even if we cannot find them, I will reward the cultivators who contributed the most to the campaign!"

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present showed a hint of joy on their faces.

Even if they dared not disobey Taihao and Xihe due to their strength, they would still feel dissatisfied if they were only asked to do things without receiving any benefits. However, they would not say so openly because of the difference in strength.

But if there are benefits, the situation is quite different.

They might even turn from passive to active, just like the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects who invaded the Taihao Realm a long time ago; they would be very willing to contribute.

However, before going, there was still one problem to consider.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what kind of world is the Outer Chaos? Is it dangerous?"

"That is also a chaotic world, so there are naturally dangers!" Xihe said, then summoned the scroll she had previously presented to her side and continued.

"But even if there is danger, you don't need to worry too much, because this scroll exists!"

"This scroll is called the Investiture of the Gods! You only need to come back and leave your primordial spirit imprint, and even if you encounter misfortune, you can be restored to your original state through this scroll!"

"Such a divine object exists in this world?"

As soon as Xihe finished speaking, she was met with a chorus of exclamations.

All the cultivators stared at the scroll beside Xihe with incredulous, solemn eyes.

Those with a little knowledge even used this to connect it to a being or state of being that they desperately craved and longed for.

Primordial Saint!

The primordial spirit is entrusted to the body, and the physical form is restored. Isn't this a method only a sage can possess?

When did these cultivators, who haven't even reached the threshold of the Primordial Chaos realm, become able to enjoy this?

The next moment, Xihe provided the answer.

"This scroll is one of the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and it was refined by my master over a long period of time. Although its grade is not that of a supreme innate treasure, it is even better than one!"

"I see!"

"If that's the case, then everything makes sense!"

No cultivator doubted Taihao's methods, so after Xihe finished speaking, exclamations of surprise rose and fell, even though they did not know the reason.

In fact, not to mention them, even Xihe couldn't understand it.

The three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man, though originally divine objects, can only unleash power exceeding their original level when combined with specific things.

For example, the Book of Life and Death can only be compared to a supreme innate treasure within the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld. Once outside the underworld, it is merely a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

The earth's membrane is similar to the earth's writing system.

Only when the terrain and mountains of the earth are connected can it unleash its unimaginable power.

In the history of the primordial world, the Investiture of the Gods could only be so during the Investiture of the Gods period. At other times, it would just be a special top-grade spiritual treasure.

But when this list fell into Taihao's hands, it became completely different from history.

The most significant change was in its grade.

It is not a naturally occurring treasure, but it is better than a naturally occurring treasure.

Even outside of special periods like the Investiture of the Gods, this was still the case!

The reason for this is quite simple.

Because Taihao added something very special to it!

Primordial Purple Qi!

In fact, both the Investiture of the Gods and the Primordial Purple Qi were taken from Hongjun by Taihao.

These two items were originally of little use to Taihao.

After all, he didn't want to, and didn't need to, follow the old path of the prehistoric world in the Taihao Realm, which was to start the Investiture of the Gods and create a Primordial Saint in the Taihao Realm.

However, if you combine the two, the situation is quite different, and they can play a significant role.

With this special Investiture of the Gods, the cultivators of the Taihao Realm will be free from the fear of death and will be even more dedicated in their battles for the Taihao Realm.

For Taihao, this means he can better control the Taihao Realm!

After all, even a Primordial Chaos cultivator would be subject to control after entrusting their primordial spirit to the void, let alone these cultivators who haven't even reached the threshold of Primordial Chaos.

After all, without sufficient cultivation, it's impossible to achieve immortality without paying a price.

The price that cultivators of the Taihao Realm have to pay is that they will be forever bound to the Taihao Realm.
