Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I pioneered a divine kingdom of faith.

Chapter 158 Shen Gongbao: Although I belong to the Chan Sect, my friends are all from the Jie Sect.

The Great Shang Dynasty, Chaoge!

"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong is currently on a campaign abroad. Now the feudal lords have rebelled. I urge Your Majesty to order the Grand Tutor to return to the capital and suppress the rebellion." During the court assembly, Bigan stepped forward and addressed Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin hid within the purple aura of the Human Emperor, and no one could see his face.

"Where is the Imperial Advisor?" Di Xin's voice rang out.

Shen Gongbao walked out with a smile on his face, looking at the ministers of the Shang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I am here," Shen Gongbao said with a smile.

"Does the Imperial Advisor have any countermeasures?" Di Xin asked slowly. Wen Zhong was away on campaign, and Di Xin did not want to recall Wen Zhong because of these matters.

On the one hand, this was not a calamity belonging to the human race, but rather to the immortals and gods, only it was unfolding among the human race. The rebellion of those feudal lords was certainly hateful.

However, it had nothing to do with ordinary people. In Di Xin's view, it was enough to kill the ringleaders; there was no need for a large-scale massacre.

"Your Majesty, the rebellion of the feudal lords is a minor matter. The most important thing is Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo. As long as we deal with Ji Chang, everything will be resolved," Shen Gongbao said with a smile.

"Oh? Does the Imperial Advisor have a plan?" Di Xin said in a deep voice, looking at Shen Gongbao.

"Your Majesty, I have already devised a plan, so please rest assured," Shen Gongbao said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, I will trust the Imperial Advisor and hope he won't disappoint me."

Di Xin said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will go and invite my friends from the Jie Sect right away," Shen Gongbao said with a smile.

"In that case, we'll have to trouble the Imperial Advisor to take action," Di Xin's voice rang out.

Shen Gongbao smiled and nodded.

Bigan looked at Shen Gongbao without saying a word. Bigan knew Di Xin's plan and also understood that Di Xin did not want the human race to suffer internal strife because of the great calamity of immortals and gods.

If Emperor Xin really wanted to resolve the issue, he could have easily recalled Grand Tutor Wen Zhong in the name of the Emperor, and suppressing the feudal lords would have been a minor matter.

The reason they didn't do that was because of the people of the Chan Sect.

Di Xin did not want his men to die at the hands of the Chan Sect for no reason.

This is a dispute between the Chan and Jie schools, so let the people of the Chan and Jie schools settle it.

Humans can just watch the show; that was Di Xin's idea.

On the Xiqi side.

Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, was overjoyed. The fact that the other feudal lords agreed to rebel against Shang gave Ji Chang more confidence. Putting aside everything else, at the very least, he now had the qualifications to fight against the Shang Dynasty.

With the addition of the immortals of the Chan Sect, even if the Shang Dynasty had Ji Chang of the Jie Sect behind it, it wouldn't be afraid.

Guang Chengzi's side.

Guang Chengzi looked at Ji Chang with a glint in his eyes. He did not support Ji Chang randomly, but because Ji Chang was truly qualified.

Now he is considering whether he can help Ji Chang ascend to the throne of the human emperor. Even though he knows it is unlikely, he has to try. What if it works?

Guang Chengzi's idea was quite simple: if Ji Chang successfully ascended to the throne, then the status of the Chan Sect among the human race would be self-evident.

The Chan Sect could even influence the development of the human race.

The idea was good, but in reality, it was far more difficult than Guang Chengzi had imagined.

At the very least, Guang Chengzi's idea was something that Yuanshi never had, especially not now.

Two saints of the human race, two saints of the West, plus Tongtian and Laozi.

If Guang Chengzi had actually succeeded, the Chan sect would have been promoted by these sages the very next day.

This is no joke; it's something that could really happen. Neither Buddhism nor the religion of Man can stand by and watch the Chan sect become the dominant force.

Even things like manipulating the human race.

Unfortunately, Guang Chengzi did not think of this, which is normal. In his mind, Yuanshi, as a sage and the strongest being in the world, could protect him.

However, he never considered that other sages would object.

After agreeing to King Zhou's request, Shen Gongbao began his persuasive journey.

What is the most terrifying thing in the Investiture of the Gods?

Of course, it's Shen Gongbao's line, "Fellow Daoist, please wait," which basically means whoever he calls will die, and whoever he calls will be on the list. It can only be described as outrageous.

The first thing Shen Gongbao dared to do was not anything else, but to go to the underworld where Grand Tutor Wen Zhong was.

Grand Tutor Wen Zhong was busy expanding the territory of the Shang Dynasty, so Shen Gongbao's arrival here was not without reason.

Wen Zhongke was a disciple of the Jie Sect, making him a second-generation disciple.

Behind this lies the Jie Sect, which holds sway over the interests and traditions of the Shang Dynasty. It's only natural that Shen Gongbao would come here to persuade Wen Zhong.

Di Xin was naturally unaware of this matter; otherwise, if Di Xin truly wanted Wen Zhong to return, he would have summoned him himself long ago, and there would have been no need for Shen Gongbao to persuade him.

To be fair, Shen Gongbao's strength wasn't that great, but his words were truly powerful; there was really no one he couldn't persuade.

"What brings the Imperial Preceptor here?" Wen Zhong asked Shen Gongbao slowly.

"Grand Tutor is away on campaign and may not know that the Shang Dynasty is now in imminent danger."

Shen Gongbao said with a sigh, his face filled with indescribable sorrow.

Wen Zhong looked at Shen Gongbao. He didn't care much for Shen Gongbao, after all, Shen Gongbao was a member of the Chan Sect, and the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect had a relationship.

They weren't exactly like brothers, but their relationship was definitely one of life and death.

Especially now, Wen Zhong doesn't really trust Shen Gongbao.

"What crisis is the Great Shang?" Wen Zhong frowned. He looked at Shen Gongbao. Although he didn't like Shen Gongbao, he still had deep feelings for Wen Zhong of the Great Shang.

After all, he was a veteran of three dynasties of the Shang Dynasty.

"Now the Shang Dynasty is in crisis, and the feudal lords have completely rebelled against it. The King did not want to see the Grand Tutor overworked, so he did not summon him back to court. However, I could not bear to see the Shang Dynasty perish, so I came to find the Grand Tutor without the King's permission," Shen Gongbao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Shen Gongbao's words, Wen Zhong's eyes showed a hint of solemnity. He had been outside and had not truly learned about the internal affairs of the Shang Dynasty.

And what do you mean by Shen Gongbao's words?

You might say he was lying, but it's all true. The Shang Dynasty is indeed facing a crisis, and the feudal lords have rebelled.

But if you say he's telling the truth, it just feels so wrong.

This brings us to Shen Gongbao's art of speaking.

This statement not only praised Emperor Xin but also demonstrated the speaker's loyalty.

"Grand Tutor, I know you dislike me because you think I am a member of the Chan Sect. However, we are all working for the Great Shang Dynasty, and I would never speak carelessly about such things. If you do not believe me, you can send someone to investigate and see if what I said is true," Shen Gongbao said to Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong's eyes gleamed. He also had a third eye on his forehead, which allowed him to distinguish between good and evil, and he knew that Shen Gongbao's words were not false.

Although there is a suspicion of embellishment, Shen Gongbao did not lie.

After watching Shen Gongbao leave, Wen Zhong summoned his trusted confidants to investigate the current situation of the Shang Dynasty.
