A discarded disciple of the Chan Sect? I'll seize the destiny and prove myself to be a Primordi

Side Quest: Intercept 30 units of Western Religious Fortune - Demonic Chaos in the Court

[Reward 1: Realm Advancement by One Level]

[Reward Two: Purification Barrier]

[Reward 3: Magic Item - Human Race Bag]

It was indeed the work of the Western religion.

Yun Zhongzi's gaze swept over the three options.

Skip directly to reward one; the Primordial Celestial Venerable's restrictions are still in effect, and the realm is simply unimaginable.

The Human Seed Bag was later used by the Yellow-Eyebrowed Monster, a disciple of Maitreya, and various immortals and gods suffered greatly because of it.

This bag, when opened, can hold all things in heaven and earth; it is truly a treasure. However, since he already possesses the "Hidden Universe in His Sleeve," taking another bag to hold people and things is merely icing on the cake.

This pure and cleansing barrier, once set up, purifies the mind and spirit, preventing evil spirits from invading and malevolent energy from entering.

After a moment's thought, he chose three.

The alluring supernatural powers of Western religions are impossible to guard against.

Di Xin was bewitched by the Seven Treasures Tree in Nuwa Palace and almost made a terrible mistake; Nezha was possessed by the evil red mist on the banks of the Nine Bends River and unwittingly killed her.

This method is exactly what he needs now.

Just as I was about to get up, the system notification sounded again.

Yun Zhongzi was taken aback.

[Side Quest: Intercept 380 million units of the Chan Sect's fortune, 20 units of the Jie Sect's fortune, and 10 units of the Western Sect's fortune—Jiang Shang's allegiance]

[Reward 1: Realm Advancement by One Stage]

[Reward Two: Lao Tzu's Insights on Weapon Forging]

[Reward 3: Magic Item - Heaven-Turning Seal]

A realm advancement? From Taiyi Xuanxian to Daluo Jinxian!

As for the "Laozi's Refining Insights", although he coveted it, the only magic weapon he could currently possess was a set of Heavenly Divine Fire Pillars.

Moreover, what good refining materials does he have now? Only a small piece of Xuanhuang Stone is of some value, but now he can only choose the Heaven-Turning Seal.

However, after witnessing Lao Tzu's methods of crafting magical artifacts firsthand, he was filled with remorse and wished he could devour the Heaven-Turning Seal. But that's a story for another time.

Choose three.

An ancient, simple blue seal fell into his palm. The seal knob was mountain-shaped, the seal body was smooth and warm to the touch, and a heavy, powerful aura of menace rushed towards him.

Legend has it that the Heaven-Turning Seal was forged by Yuanshi Tianzun from half of Buzhou Mountain that had been broken off by Gonggong.

But the Heaven-Turning Seal in his hand is exactly the same as the magic weapon in Guang Chengzi's hand. Could it be that there are two Buzhou Mountains in this world?

This system was created out of thin air, and it's the Heaven-Turning Seal, a supreme treasure for killing and destruction acquired later in life.

Yun Zhongzi put the Heaven-Turning Seal into his sleeve. In the future, when he impersonated Guang Chengzi, this treasure would be much more convenient. However, it was a pity that he could not use it easily.

Now, with the two Immortal Apricots and the Heaven-Turning Seal in his sleeve, he was penniless when he activated the system. Now, with the Heaven-Turning Seal, the Pure Barrier, the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, the Law of Heaven and Earth, and the Universe in His Sleeve, although he lost the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, he is no longer destitute.

He used his Qi-observation technique to search for Jiang Ziya.

Just now, he impersonated Guang Chengzi and recommended Jiang Ziya to Emperor Xin. If Jiang Ziya had stayed in Chaoge to serve as an official, what would the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning have thought? The chosen one of Heaven would not support Zhou, but instead support Shang!

This great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is quite interesting.

At that moment, under the Qi Observation Technique, two auras were reflected into the sea of ​​consciousness.

One aura of pure light emanated from Jiang Ziya; the other aura of malevolent energy was concealed within Wen Zhong.

The two were breathing in the same direction and were extremely close.

Yun Zhongzi raised an eyebrow slightly. Jiang Ziya and Wen Zhong?

In the original story, the two were mortal enemies. Wen Zhong clashed with Jiang Ziya several times on the battlefield and eventually lost his life at Jue Long Ridge.

Now, things have gotten complicated; the two of them are sitting together.

He enveloped himself in a purifying barrier, a serene light flowing around him, his mind clear and impervious to all evil. He then activated the Bewitching Immortal Array, completely concealing his aura.

With two layers of protection, even a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal or an early Quasi-Saint might not be able to detect his presence.

At the entrance of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Jiang Ziya and Wen Zhong entered the mansion together, with Yun Zhongzi following closely behind.

Originally, after the events in the East Sea, the main body should not have fallen into such a predicament. However, this is Chaoge, where the Human Emperor's fortune is profound. If the Western Sect wants to take action, it can only do so by using someone else's hand, just like controlling the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit.

Secondly, he is now a Taiyi Xuanxian, with the addition of the Pure Barrier and the Bewitching Immortal Array, his aura is flawless, and with the Heaven-Turning Seal in hand, he can simply throw out the seal to "reveal" his identity and run away.

In a corner at the entrance of the Grand Tutor's mansion, a lotus flower slowly blooms, yet it is visible to all.

A figure emerged from it.

This person has an ancient and unsophisticated face, making it impossible to tell his age. His appearance is inexplicably contradictory, resembling both a young man and a middle-aged man with maturity, as well as an elderly person who has witnessed the vicissitudes of life.

The Taoist's eyes shone with a clear, lustrous light, yet his face was etched with suffering, as if he were carrying a thousand-pound burden on his shoulders.

His gaze fell upon Yun Zhongji, he shook his head slightly, his expression growing even more pained, and he muttered to himself:

"There is the aura of Guang Chengzi of the Chan Sect here. He is indeed worthy of being the chief disciple of the Twelve Golden Immortals. Even though his cultivation is slightly lower, his methods are extraordinary."

He looked puzzled: "But why isn't this person cultivating in seclusion on Kunlun Mountain? What is his purpose in stirring up this mess in Chaoge?"

He paused, as if sensing something.

"This person bears traces of the Jiejiao Daoist teachings, the aura of the Chanjiao's power, and even the colorless barrier of my Western Sect. No, this barrier is even more refined than the colorless barrier."

The Taoist's surprise deepened. "I have been out of the world for so long, yet such a figure has appeared in the Three Realms?"

He sighed. "Brother Yaoshi's defeat this time was not unjust. The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and that Golden Immortal of Fortune are indeed not easy opponents."

The lotus closed and disappeared from the spot.

Inside the study, candlelight shone brightly. Wen Zhong and Jiang Ziya sat facing each other at a desk, on which lay a sheepskin map.

Wen Zhong pointed to several red circles on the map and said in a deep voice:

"Dongbo Hou Jiang Huanchu is suppressing rebellions in the surrounding areas, but progress is not going smoothly. Here, here, and here, the rebels are probably being guided by a capable person."

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and pondered, his gaze fixed on the map. After a long while, he said:

"Grand Tutor, in my humble opinion, these three rebel groups are not necessarily fighting independently. Look at these three passes; if they were to rise up simultaneously, Chaoge would be attacked from both sides..."

Hidden in the shadows, Yun Zhongzi watched this scene with a mix of emotions.

These two, one from the Jie Sect and the other from the Chan Sect, should have been at odds with each other, but instead, they were holding a candlelight conversation, discussing matters of state.

The two discussed it for a while, and the more they talked, the more they felt they had known each other for a long time, and they wished they could sleep in the same bed together.

"Brother Jiang, do you know why His Majesty so easily appointed you as Grand Master of the State? Now His Majesty is working hard to govern the country, and even if you are a great talent, you still need to climb the ranks step by step."

Seeing Wen Zhong's inscrutable expression, Jiang Ziya laughed and pointed at Wen Zhong:

"Brother Wen, please don't be like that. Speak your mind. Jiang Shang is just a hermit who cultivates his spirit in the mountains."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong didn't keep him in suspense any longer:

"What is the relationship between Brother Jiang and the Imperial Tutor Guang Chengzi?"

Jiang Ziya was startled upon hearing this. Could it be that Wen Zhong already knew his background?

"A few times we met."

Wen Zhong told him what had happened in the palace, and added, "The person who personally recommended you in the palace today was the Imperial Tutor. That's why His Majesty appointed you as a Grand Master of the State."

Jiang Ziya's eyes widened, and he dropped his wine cup to the ground.

It turns out it was the eldest brother who helped!

He quickly got up and bowed in the direction of Jiuxian Mountain.
