Chapter One Hundred: Golden Spirit Descends the Mountain

  Bi Gan was extremely clear in his mind, but Zhou Wang seemed not to have listened at all. Appointing Jiang Ziya as an official was just a way to shut him up. Bi Gan let out a long sigh and left the golden hall. Jiang Ziya, no matter what, had managed to secure an official position, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself.

  In just a few days, Jiang Ziya suddenly received an imperial edict to oversee the construction of a deer platform. After taking a look at the blueprint, he knew that this was definitely a massive project with a tight deadline. Jiang Ziya naturally understood that this might cost many lives, and as a cultivator, if he were to commit such evil deeds, his heart demon would rise, and his body would perish along with his dao.

  Jiang Ziya thought for a moment, and then realized that this was Daji's revenge against him for killing the Jade Pipa Spirit. So he took out his tortoise shell and divined an oracle, which showed the hexagram of retreat. Jiang Ziya knew it was time to leave, so he bid farewell without saying goodbye, used the Earth Escape technique to get past the five passes, and arrived at the border of Western Qi, where he became a fisherman in Qicun Creek.

  At this time, Jiying was standing by the side of the Eight Treasures Pool, watching the fish swimming freely in it with a thoughtful expression. The Medicine Master, who had originally been in the city of Chao Ge, was now standing behind Jiying, waiting for instructions. Jiying pointed to the nine-colored divine mud in the pool and took out a bit of soil. A golden light flashed by, and the soil suddenly transformed into a human figure. Jiying then condensed a red glow in his hand and pointed it downwards. The small mud person immediately began to move about, making all sorts of interesting gestures.

  "Pharmacist, Bo Yi Kao's fate is not to be cut off, you can use this mud doll to replace him." The pharmacist took the lotus root doll and stood up, returning to Changge City to make preparations.

  The Master of Tongtian Sect had been in seclusion since his return from the Purple Cloud Palace, and his disciples could sense a terrifying killing aura emanating from within his cave, making their hearts tremble with fear. Even Duobao, who had cut off one of his corpses, felt an unparalleled terror in his soul. On this day, the killing aura suddenly vanished, and soon after, the Master's order was conveyed, summoning all his direct disciples to gather at the Grand Hall for a meeting.

  Originally, the Tongtian Sect Master allowed a group of named disciples to act freely, but kept his close relatives confined within Jinyu Island, not allowing them to leave. Many treasures and others had long known that the Chan Sect and Buddhist Sect disciples were frequently taking action. Now, with the world in chaos, the situation was not very favorable for the Tongtian Sect. They urgently wanted to go down the mountain to stabilize the situation.

  "After this departure, Tongtian looks even more majestic. Having glanced at the crowd of personally transmitted disciples, he said: 'The matter of killing Ji is extremely clear to me now. The Jiangshan of Shang and Zhou has already risen with wolf smoke everywhere, and some of our sect's people have already died. However, I must say that the real disaster has not yet begun - what we are seeing now is just an appetizer. I hereby permit you all to go down the mountain and act according to circumstances. As long as you can occupy the moral high ground, I will naturally take charge of things for you.'"

  Duobao and others were overjoyed in their hearts. "Master, disciples dare to ask, are we going to continue the great business of Qi, and stop the rise of Western Zhou?"

  Tongtian took a glance at Duobao, "Mortal affairs are none of our concern. The heavenly calamity has been fulfilled, and the gods have died in sufficient numbers. It will naturally come to an end. The rise and fall of dynasties in the mortal world is inevitable, but it must also go through seven disasters and eight difficulties, and pay some price. As for the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, let it be destroyed." Tongtian's words made his disciples understand.

  This is to let these people go all out and kill the disciples of Zhan Jiao, as long as they have killed enough, they will withdraw and let the world rise and fall on its own. It seems that it's still impossible to wipe out the entire Zhan Jiao sect, otherwise, even if the sect is destroyed, there would be no one left to destroy the Shang Dynasty. Du Bao's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly understood. The master didn't want to cut off the lineage of Zhan Jiao's teachings, but they had to give them a lesson that would leave a lasting impression.

  Tongtian was overjoyed at the sight of Duobao's intelligent and divine appearance. "Duobao, I hereby appoint you to oversee and command all disciples, assist me in completing the great tribulation."

  "The disciples took their orders." After Tongtian finished instructing, he let the disciples disperse. Duobao called all the major direct-disciples to his own cave-dwelling.

  "Everyone, the teacher has asked me to take charge, so I won't be polite. Currently, Bei Hai Wen Zhong is still fighting, so I'll trouble Jin Ling sister to go and help your disciple eliminate Yuan Fu Tong as soon as possible, so that he can return to the imperial court and avoid the loss of too much energy for the Shang Dynasty." Jin Ling had already known that Bao Miao True Person had come to ask for her before, but at that time, the teacher didn't allow it, so she wasn't able to go. Now that the timing is ripe, she naturally agreed very readily.

  Jin Lingshengmu is also a high-ranking figure among the direct disciples of Tongtian, and she has invited Sanxiao Niangniang to join them on their journey to Beihai.

  The current Beihai is very lively, and Bao Miao has invited many Quanzhen disciples with great effort. Although there are no direct disciples, the momentum is already very grand. Those who have come include Jingxuan Zhenren, Jinfahou Dao, Kumu Zhenren, Zhongshan Wubixian Ren, Huangshan Santianzun and other Quanzhen practitioners. Everyone gathered together to discuss and plan to eliminate Yuan Futong at once.

  Wen Zhong was entertaining on the side, and he was also extremely happy in his heart. Suddenly, he heard a report that four fairy ladies had arrived, with someone claiming to be the Golden Spirit Holy Mother. As soon as Wen Zhong heard that his teacher had come, he hastily went out to greet her. Upon seeing the Golden Spirit Holy Mother's ethereal and otherworldly appearance, Wen Zhong hurriedly walked several steps and knelt down at her feet.

  "The Master's disciple is incompetent, losing the whip given by the Master. It's really the disciple's fault, and I have no face to see the Master again." Wen Zhong knelt down in the dust, his eyes dropping tears, Jin Ling looked at him for a while, then let out a long sigh.

  "A mere dead object, a whip, was lost and then retrieved, but what angers me is that as the Grand Tutor of the nation, you couldn't even investigate the enemy's situation first, resulting in the pointless deaths of the Four Sages of Spring and Autumn."

  Wen Zhongyi felt embarrassed when he heard the teacher's criticism. He had fought many great battles in his life, but this time he was not prepared and did not know the details of Yuan Futong, nor did he understand why so many cultivators helped Yuan Futong. It was a dereliction of duty, which led to the death of fellow Taoist friends, and he felt ashamed in front of his master.

  At this time, Bao Miao Zhenren and others also came out. Upon hearing Jin Ling Sheng Mu rebuking Wen Zhong, their faces were also without light. Hurriedly stepping forward, they said: "Holy Mother, it's all due to my incompetence, it really isn't the fault of Wen Daoist friend."

  Yun Xiao spoke up beside her, "Sister, don't blame Wen Zhong. The small North Sea actually has a demonic cultivator appearing, it's not something he could have anticipated either. I think we should first enter the tent and discuss together how to win this battle."

  Yun Xiao spoke, and Jin Ling Sheng Mu also nodded in agreement. Wen Zhong stood up, along with a group of cultivators, and escorted the four Golden Spirit Holy Mothers into the large camp, preparing to deploy troops and determine victory or defeat in one battle.

  Lu Ye has been winning over the demon tribe cultivators, waving the banner of reviving the demon tribe and then using Nuwa's banner. The demon tribe has a deep foundation after all, although they have gone through a great disaster and been suppressed by the human race, there are still many cultivators existing. Therefore, Lu Ye invited many demon tribe cultivators, who are now gathered in one place to help Yuan Futong, with a very large momentum. Originally, Lu Ye's plan was to disperse the attention of the Intercepting Sect, but now that he sees the Golden Spirit Holy Mother arriving, he knows that the Intercepting Sect has decided to thoroughly quell the North Sea rebellion. Lu Ye doesn't dare confront the Intercepting Sect head-on, so he plans to abandon Yuan Futong.

  One hundred chapters have been completed, which is not a lot, but for me, it's a small accomplishment. I once doubted whether I would be able to finish it, but now that I've reached this point, I can confidently say that although it's my first time writing a book, I'm able to give it a complete ending. Thank you to all the fellow readers for your support, and I'll continue to count on your support.
