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

The million-strong army, blessed by the Yellow Emperor, greatly increased in strength, and the eight hundred vassal lords then crossed Qipan Mountain again.

Five hundred li east of Qipan Mountain lies Panlong Ridge, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with extremely treacherous terrain.

Emperor Xin personally led his army on the expedition, and his massive army was arrayed here.

It was the dead of winter, with dark clouds covering the sky, cold fog all around, a biting north wind blowing, and heavy snow falling on the ground. The world was covered in a blanket of white.

Six petals fluttered down, carpeting the ground for miles.

A thousand jade trees, each one leaning against the jade.

The powder accumulated in a short time turned into ice in an instant.

The white parrot has lost its pristine appearance, the white crane has vanished without a trace. It adds to the waters of the four seas and three rivers, and overwhelms several pine trees to the east and west.

The village houses looked like they were built of silver, and the vast landscape resembled a jade painting.

What a heavy snowfall!

But we see:

Willow catkins fill the bridge, pear blossoms cover the houses.

Willow catkins fill the bridge, and an old fisherman by the bridge wears a straw raincoat.

Pear blossoms cover the house, and beneath the house, an old man in the fields warms a fire.

The traveler struggles to buy wine, while the old man desperately searches for plum blossoms.

Rolling in clumps, carried by the wind, a chilly breeze seeps into the secluded curtains.

A bountiful year brings auspicious omens from heaven, a cause for celebration on earth.

Two hundred thousand troops were arrayed in Panlong Ridge, where they set up camp and awaited the arrival of eight hundred vassal lords.

As the world became clear and bright, Emperor Xin gradually realized his mistakes, and at this moment, he revealed his wise ruler side.

Di Xin was a human king, protected by the fortune of the human race, and thus immune to all kinds of magic and spells, making him equal to the Heavenly Emperor.

In his childhood, Di Xin once held up a pillar of heaven with his hand, possessing boundless strength, and thus cultivated himself into a martial arts immortal.

Looking at the entire Great Shang Dynasty, few could rival Emperor Xin in terms of military strength alone. Even someone as powerful as Huang Feihu was once his defeated opponent!

Emperor Xin personally led the expedition, his main strategy being to overcome all obstacles with sheer force, and combined with his position as the human king, he exerted his power over all directions!

"Report back to the Prime Minister!"

"Ahead on Panlong Ridge, a large army has set up camp. Judging from their banners, they must be soldiers of the Great Shang Dynasty!"

Soon, another messenger came forward to report the news to Ziya, saying that a large army was blocking the road ahead.

"Oh, who is this visitor?"

Ziya stopped and looked towards Panlong Ridge.

Ziya used his magical power and his aura-observation technique to see that Panlong Ridge was displaying a majestic aura.

"Panlong Ridge, Panlong Ridge!"

"How dare you call yourself a coiled dragon when you haven't seen the true king!"

"Now that a human king has arrived at Panlong Ridge, this place has finally fulfilled its destiny and lived up to its name!"

Ziya revealed the secret in just a few words.

"Father!"

"You mean, Di Xin is currently in Panlong Ridge? He's launching another personal military campaign?"

King Wu of Zhou was greatly alarmed upon hearing this.

A son of a wealthy family should not sit under a dangerous roof!

Given Di Xin's character, even if the sky were to fall, he would only hide in Chaoge and enjoy himself peacefully.

Unexpectedly, after the calamity dissipated, Emperor Xin regained his clarity of mind and actually wanted to personally lead the expedition to turn the tide!

"The Emperor will personally lead the expedition!"

"That's more like what Emperor Xin did!"

Xin Huan nodded, indicating that it was very likely.

"Please allow me to speak, everyone!"

"Before I attained enlightenment, I traveled throughout the Great Shang Dynasty, where I met many powerful and influential people!"

"When I traveled to the territory of Chaoge, I met the Holy Mother of Humanity together with the three demons from Xuanyuan Tomb!"

"The Holy Mother ordered the three demons to wreak havoc on the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty, and thus I became acquainted with my Uncle-Master Ziya."

"However, I had dealt with Di Xin before this; he was quite strong and extraordinary!"

"When Di Xin was young, he was also a wise ruler. He was a martial arts immortal of his time, and as crown prince, he made great achievements and his power was overwhelming!"

"This humble Taoist priest once promoted agricultural practices at Chen Tang Pass during the Great Shang Dynasty, and also advised Emperor Xin to implement the use of copper coins!"

"At that time, Emperor Xinwei was bewitched by the three demons and adopted all their advice, which proved quite effective!"

Xin Huan recounted in detail how he had offered advice and strategies to consolidate centralized power with copper coins, which greatly helped Emperor Xin and enabled him to accumulate immeasurable wealth.

Otherwise, Emperor Xin would have plundered even more of the people's wealth to build the Deer Terrace and the Star-Picking Tower.

"When King Zhou was young, he was quite remarkable; otherwise, the throne would not have been his."

As a member of the imperial family, Li Jing also spoke well of Emperor Xin, but unfortunately, Emperor Xin later fell into depravity.

"As long as the Shang Dynasty exists, Emperor Xin will remain the human king, whose position is equal to that of the Heavenly Emperor. He will be protected by the destiny of the human race, untouched by any magic, and all evil will be warded off!"

"We Qi cultivators must not attack the Human King; otherwise, our Qi will backfire, and a great calamity will surely follow!"

Xin Huan voiced her concerns: Qi cultivators are people outside the secular world, and they must not harm the King of Men. There is a huge karmic consequence involved, which is something that no ordinary person can bear!

Consider that Zhao Gongming was merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet Ziya bore a heavy burden of karma in order to kill him.

The Human King's position is equal to that of the Heavenly Emperor. In terms of nobility, he far surpasses the Great Luo Golden Immortal. If one were to attack the Human King, the backlash from his luck alone would be enough to give an ordinary cultivator a hard time.

Not to mention, the King of Men is immune to all laws and evil spirits, so killing Di Xin would require considerable effort.

The concept of destiny is extremely mysterious!

"The best course of action now is to directly defeat Di Xin; this matter must be addressed by King Wu of Western Zhou!"

After a while, Xin Huan pointed out another clear path.

"What?"

"You want me to kill King Zhou!"

"King Zhou is a martial arts master of his time; even Huang Feihu is no match for him. Me, go and kill him?"

After hearing this, Ji Fa was unable to calm down for a long time.

This move was undoubtedly courting death. In terms of combat power alone, Di Xin was comparable to the unparalleled God of War!

This move was undoubtedly courting death. In terms of combat power alone, Di Xin was comparable to the unparalleled God of War!

"A king cannot meet a king!"

"Otherwise, there will surely be casualties!"

"To be on the safe side, let's first annihilate these 200,000 Shang troops, and then march on Chaoge!"

Ziya knew Ji Fa's true strength, so after thinking for a moment, he decided to adopt the safest strategy!

At the foot of Panlong Ridge, a million-strong army set up camp.

The next day, Ziya took his seat in the tent!

But then a cannon shot rang out from Zhou's camp, and Ziya dispatched his troops to attack the mountain, with eight hundred feudal lords following behind him.

Emperor Xin personally led the expedition, appointing Wu Wenhua as the vanguard general, Yin Pobai as the military advisor, Lei Kai as the commander-in-chief of the five armies, and Yin Chengxiu, Lei Kun, Lei Peng, Lu Renjie, and others as accompanying generals, each receiving generous rewards.

Two hundred thousand troops were stationed in Panlong Ridge, forming a strategically important and impregnable position.

Ziya led an army of 100,000 men, along with 800 feudal lords, to Panlong Ridge, intending to investigate the strength of the Shang army.

Before even reaching the ridge, Wu Wenhua arrived at the front lines with an army of 50,000, intending to dampen the Zhou army's morale.

"Traitor Jiang Shang, why haven't you washed your neck and accepted your execution!"

Wu Wenhua dragged the logs to the front of the battle. When he saw Jiang Shang, he was filled with boundless rage.

"kill!"

Without any further words, Wu Wenhua immediately launched an attack, charging towards Ziya.

Wu Wenhua possessed immense strength. Standing on the earth, he exuded boundless divine power, and the wooden paddle he held displayed terrifying divine might.

Countless soldiers fell like wheat being harvested. Wu Wenhua's moves were wide and sweeping, focusing on simplicity and brutality. In the midst of the clashes, countless enemies were killed in an instant.

The soldiers' weapons had no effect whatsoever on Wu Wenhua, for he was thick-skinned and had long since developed an indestructible body!

When Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear struck Wu Wenhua, it only left a small white dot. Despite Nezha's best efforts, he couldn't harm him in the slightest.

"Such a resilient innate physique!"

"This fellow is a primordial being, his physical body comparable to a minor witch of the Wu tribe, having already achieved an indestructible body!"

"Even swords and knives cannot harm him in the slightest."

Xin Huan realized that Wu Wenhua, like Yu Yuan, had cultivated an indestructible body.

"As expected of the mount of the Golden Spirit Mother of the Jie Sect!"

"Judging from his supernatural abilities, he has already reached eight or nine tenths of Yu Yuan's skill. This simpleton is quite loyal!"

Xin Huan shook her head and said with a helpless expression.

Wu Wenhua is the benevolent corpse of Doumu in Kan Palace—the chariot general under the command of Marici Bodhisattva in the West.

This person was born in the Hai (亥) position and grew up in the Qian (乾) position!

Marici Bodhisattva is the benevolent corpse that was severed by the Golden Spirit Mother of the Kan Palace, and is also translated as the Goddess of Light!

The Taoist Doumu Baogao states:

In the Western Kingdom of India, amidst the great light of wisdom, dwells the Dharma King, the Supreme Mysterious Primordial Mother.

Where the golden light shines, the sun and moon are dimmed.

When the precious pestle spins, even ghosts and gods lose their color.

This passage records the specific origin of the Kan Gong Dou Mu Shan Shi Di Shen (a type of deity) incarnation, and this deity also has a strong connection with Buddhism.
