Entering the Investiture of the Gods, starting by controlling the three calamities of wind and thund

"If the mind does not die, the Way will not be born!"

"To break this red sand formation, one must first die and then live, using immense luck to dispel the calamity within the formation. Only in this way can the formation be broken and danger turned into safety."

Within the red sand formation, Xin Huan looked around. This was the first time he had ever been inside the Ten Deadly Formations, which were filled with calamity energy.

"Several pieces of red sand have caused hearts to fall, and black mist has spread, causing courage and resolve to vanish. From this day forward, the throne of the King of Men has been lost!"

Xin Huan revealed the Golden Wheel of Merit, with boundless golden light emanating from his head. He and Yang Jian joined forces to protect Ji Fa.

Time flies when you're on the battlefield; a hundred days have passed in the blink of an eye!

On the other side, outside the Red Sand Formation.

After Zhao Gongming descended the mountain, he and Grand Tutor Wen sat together in the Shang camp. He rode a tiger and whipped it, then left the Cheng Tang camp and came to the front of the two armies.

Outside the city of Xiqi, Zhao Gongming suddenly shouted again, "Where is Jiang Shang? Invite him out to meet us!"

Nezha, who was guarding the city gate, saw someone challenging them and immediately informed the others, saying, "Master, someone is challenging us!"

"There was a Taoist priest outside the city gate, riding a black tiger. He asked directly, 'Master, please come out and answer this question?'"

"What is your opinion, Master?"

Since arriving in Xiqi, Daoist Ran Deng has seized the military and ministerial power from Ziya. He has taken charge of the Investiture of the Gods, and now that King Wu has entered the battle, all the affairs of Xiqi are in the hands of Daoist Ran Deng.

"The one outside the gate is none other than Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect!"

After a pause, Ran Deng continued, "Zhao Gongming is the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect. He resides in Luofu Cave on Mount Emei. He has come here today at the invitation of Grand Tutor Wen to oversee the situation."

"We, the twelve Golden Immortals descended to the mortal realm, faced Wen Zhongbing, whose troops were few and weak, and we were already somewhat afraid."

The Taoist Ran Deng spoke up, saying that they had not made a move since they came down the mountain, but they had not expected that they would accumulate such great power.

With a Primordial Golden Immortal and twelve Great Luo Immortals, Grand Tutor Wen had no choice but to bring out Zhao Gongming.

"Ziya, you should act according to the circumstances!"

After Ran Deng finished speaking, Zi Ya accepted the order and left the city. He rode the Four-Unlikes, accompanied by Nezha, Huang Tianhua, Jinzha, Muzha, and others, to welcome Zhao Gongming.

After everyone left the city, they saw an apricot-yellow flag waving, and a Taoist priest riding a black tiger arrived in front of the Shang army camp.

"Could the visitor be Jiang Ziya?"

Zhao Gongming picked up his golden whip and asked Jiang Shang a question.

"Indeed, fellow Daoist, are you Zhao Gongming?"

Jiang Ziya bowed and nodded in response.

"This humble Taoist is none other than Zhao Gongming!"

"Jiang Shang, what advice do you have for me?"

Zhao Gongming's expression softened slightly. This man was as fiery as fire, but seeing that Ziya was so courteous, his anger subsided a little.

"Fellow Daoist, if you are not enjoying blessings on Mount Emei, how could you have come to this mortal realm? You should know that the Third Master has already given his decree!"

"You've quietly recited a few volumes of the Yellow Court Classic, and it seems you're destined to go to the Western Lands. Fellow Daoist, the mortal world is full of troubles and is not a place to stay for long. You should return to the mountain as soon as possible!"

Jiang Shang looked at Zhao Gongming. This man had the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal and had attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit during the Three Sovereigns era. In terms of supernatural powers, he was no less than Guang Chengzi. Such a person could not be allowed to descend the mountain and stir up trouble.

"You, Jiang Shang, how dare you flaunt your wrongdoing!"

"You first insulted the reputation of my great sect, and then you killed my disciples. I will surely settle this with you!"

Jiang Shang's words are a double standard, allowing officials to set fires while forbidding commoners to light lamps. Now that all twelve Golden Immortals have descended to the mortal realm, isn't this blatant bullying of the disciples of the Jie Sect?

"You have used your supernatural powers to insult my great sect and kill my disciples. I will never let you get away with this."

"Take this!"

Zhao Gongming, wielding his golden whip, immediately came to take Jiang Shang's life, but poor Jiang Shang was unjustly burdened with a false accusation.

The Twelve Golden Immortals have never committed murder; the only one to have taken action was Chi. He also possessed a sacred treasure.

This is the will of Heaven, and cannot be defied!

Zhao Gongming raised his whip and unleashed a tiger to attack Ziya. Ziya drew his sword and engaged in combat, but before they could exchange more than a few blows, the outcome was already decided.

Zhao Gongming's golden whip possesses the power to move mountains and overturn seas. When it is raised in the air, it shines with divine light, flashing like lightning.

The golden whip came with great force and was incredibly powerful.

Jiang Ziya was unable to dodge in time and was struck off his saddle by a whip. By the time Nezha came to his rescue, he had already died.

The others each took up their weapons, and Huang Tianhua hurriedly urged the Jade Kirin to use its double hammers to block Zhao Gongming.

Nezha, wielding his Wind-Fire Wheels, hurriedly retrieved Ziya's body, and the group resumed their retreat while fighting.

"Zhao Gongming is a master of martial arts, and I am no match for him. Now that I have lost my prime minister, I beg the sect leader to punish me."

When Nezha and the others returned to the city, they immediately knelt before Randeng. They had failed to protect Jiang Ziya properly, which had led to Jiang Ziya's death, a truly grave sin.

"Zhao Gongming attained enlightenment very early, and his combat strength far surpasses ours. It is perfectly normal that you are no match for him!"

Guang Chengzi spoke, and then he took out a pill from his bosom, broke it open with his hand, and dissolved it in water before putting it into his mouth.

When Ziya took the elixir and was able to be reborn, this was one of the three deaths and seven calamities that Ziya faced. It was unavoidable and a calamity sent down by heaven, a misfortune that was destined to befall him.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Ziya shouted loudly and immediately opened his eyes.

The next day, Zhao Gongming rode a tiger out of the camp and arrived outside Xiqi City, where he demanded that Randeng come out and answer him.

Ran Deng led the Twelve Golden Immortals out of the city, and the two sides spent a lot of time arguing, which eventually led to another chaotic battle.

Zhao Gongming was a master of martial arts, and the Twelve Golden Immortals lined up to fight him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Gongming once again used the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is an innate spiritual treasure, containing about twenty-four pearls, each corresponding to one of the twenty-four heavens. Within each pearl lies a vast world, possessing inconceivable mysteries.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is an innate spiritual treasure, containing about twenty-four pearls, each corresponding to one of the twenty-four heavens. Within each pearl lies a vast world, possessing inconceivable mysteries.

Each of these beads is a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, while the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Beads are high-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Legend has it that this pearl originally consisted of thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which were used to illuminate the thirty-three heavens of the primordial era and the outer heavens.

However, twelve pearls were lost, which greatly reduced the grade. The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were top-grade innate spiritual treasures of the primordial era, capable of suppressing the fortune of major sects.

Zhao Gongming received twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls from the Shangqing Sage. Now that they were activated, five-colored rays of light appeared in the sky. They were indistinct to the eye and invisible to the eye, but when they struck down, they possessed boundless power.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was extremely heavy. Zhao Gongming used it to defeat several Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

After being struck by this attack, Huanglong Zhenren was captured by Zhao Gongming. This Zhenren, who had no connections, was not very fortunate.

Therefore, in today's battle, Huanglong was caught in the crossfire and was struck by the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, becoming a disgrace to the Chan Sect!

Inside the city of Xiqi, within a reed hut.

"Zhao Gongming possessed a rare treasure. This treasure was exceptionally heavy and emitted a dazzling five-colored light, striking directly at his head. Its power was comparable to that of the eldest brother's Heaven-Turning Seal."

"We were caught off guard and struck by that strange treasure, which is why we were no match for it and fell victim to its scheme."

Master Yu Ding spoke up, surprised that Zhao Gongming was so powerful and possessed such a rare treasure.

"Miscalculation! Miscalculation!"

"We, the twelve Golden Immortals, descended to the mortal realm solely to overcome the calamity and dispel the calamity of heaven and earth, but unexpectedly..."

"Alas, if only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to this!"

Now that Huanglong Zhenren has been captured and the Twelve Golden Immortals have received divine guidance, their calamity is imminent.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Everyone shook their heads; they were at a loss for what to do.

Xin Huan single-handedly defeated the Ten Deadly Formations, but instead of eliminating the calamity of the Twelve Golden Immortals, he exacerbated their misfortune. Now, retribution has come.
