Chapter 340: Competing for the Ranking
Taoist Duobao then recounted the events in a deep voice: “After Daozu killed Luohou, he established Zixiao Palace and preached there, decided on the matter of becoming a saint, allocated sainthood quotas, and distributed Luohou’s relics at Dividing Treasures Cliff to many people who had made contributions in stopping Luohou’s chaos. Our master and the two uncles Taiqing and Yuqing naturally got the best treasures. Our master originally had some friendship with Luohou, but in the end he killed his relatives for the greater good and dealt Luohou a fatal blow, so he had the most merit. The Four Swords of Zhuxian were the most powerful treasures in Luohou’s hands, so they were given to our master. The two saints in the West only got the Golden Lotus of Merit. In order to appease them, Daozu promised them that the Western religion would flourish.

The two saints from the West launched the attack at this time because they wanted the Taoist Patriarch to fulfill his promise to prosper the Western religion.

We have the merit of refining the List of Investiture of the Gods. In addition, the Heavenly Court and Jiejiao have already begun to cooperate, so it should not be a surprise that the List of Investiture of the Gods falls into Yang Jian's hands.

But now the two saints have intervened, and things are bound to get complicated, and I'm afraid there will be no end to a fight."

"Brother, you know a lot!"

The Turtle Spirit Mother exclaimed in praise, looking at Taoist Duobao with a look in her eyes that seemed to show little stars.

"That's right. After all, my senior brother saw it with his own eyes when the treasures were distributed at the Treasure Distribution Cliff."

"To be so powerful, it seems that Senior Brother had already reached an extraordinary status before he became Master's disciple. What treasure did Senior Brother get at that time?"

The Golden Spirit Mother asked.

"That's a lot. My name Duobao comes from this. These things are ancient secrets. I have never told anyone else."

Taoist Duobao rubbed his nose.

Suddenly he felt a chill behind him and realized that the fellow apprentice sisters in front of him were all looking behind him.

Taoist Duobao sensed something and found that there was chaos behind him, as if there was nothing. His expression changed instantly, and he turned around obediently and bowed: "Greetings, Master."

It turned out that Master Tongtian had returned to the Jiejiao immortals at some point in time.

Tongtian Patriarch waved his hand casually, then pointed at Duobao Daoist and said to several female disciples: "Your Senior Brother Duobao was one of the treasures that was distributed to Master at that time, so he naturally knows a lot about what happened at that time."

"Okay, so it turns out that Senior Brother was lying to us just now, and said that he got a share of the treasure~"

Tongtian Sect Master stopped the female disciples from attacking Duobao. With a solemn look on his face, he sent a message to the disciples: "Since Daozu has promised that he will never experiment, he will compromise on the Conferred God List. The Western Sect will definitely send people to compete with the Heavenly Court for the Conferred God List. Yang Jian, as a person that Haotian relies on, will definitely be sent to compete with the Western Sect. If Yang Jian is in danger, don't help him."

"Master, why?"

The Golden Spirit Mother looked puzzled and asked hurriedly.

Tongtian Patriarch shook his head: "I have my own plans. Don't worry, Jin Ling. I will not let anything happen to your precious disciple."

Hongjun guessed that the two saints were interested in the List of Gods.

A trace of fear rose in his heart.

There is no saint in the Heavenly Court. He is the backstage of the Heavenly Court. Naturally, he is not afraid that the Heavenly Court will ignore him, the Taoist Patriarch, after it becomes powerful.

But the two saints in the West together are equal to one and a half saints. If the Western religion were to take charge of the List of Gods, it would probably become a behemoth even bigger than the Jie Religion.

Seeing Hongjun's hesitation, the Saint Jieyin said hurriedly, "If the Western religion does not flourish, there will not be enough merit to fill the karma in the sea of ​​blood and the river of Hades. If the karma overflows, even if the Conferred God List eliminates the killing disaster, the karma will flow back into the prehistoric world, which will be another catastrophe."

Hongjun asked: "Whether the Western religion will flourish or not is determined by fate. Why do we need to rely on the Investiture of the Gods?"

"Please help me, Daozu."

The two saints from the West bowed and worshiped.

"Originally, the Conferred God List was intended for the Heavenly Court to control the prehistoric world. Your actions have made it very difficult for me to handle. Why don't you ask Haotian if he is willing to give it to the Western Church?"

The two saints from the West looked towards Haotian and pressured him with their aura.

"Daozu, the List of Gods is related to the rise and fall of Heaven, and Heaven will never give in." Haotian was of course unwilling to do so. He had spent a lot of effort on the List of Gods. If the two saints of the Western Church could just pay homage and take it away, the Lord of the Wilderness might as well let the Western Church do it.

Haotian also had great contempt for the two Western saints.

Originally, the agreement to promote the development of Western religions was only circulated in private.

The two saints brought the matter to the surface at this time in order to directly force the Taoist Ancestor to fulfill his promise to revitalize the West.

He sells his butt to the point of wanting to be the boss. His greed is truly endless.

"In that case, why don't you put aside your high and mighty airs and make a clear statement here, sending out your disciples or doing it yourself, and whoever wins gets to take the Conferred God List away, how about that?"

Hongjun was also annoyed by the two saints from the West and started to urge them on.

"Then follow what Daozu said."

Haotian bowed to Hongjun, then soared into the air, looking at the two saints in the west with pride: "Who are you two?"

Haotian's actions were extremely free and easy, with an indescribable spirit, which stunned the surrounding immortals for a moment.

After all, the two saints of the West are saints no matter what. Although the two together are only half a saint, they are probably equivalent to half a saint when fighting alone.

But a saint is a saint after all, and he is not someone who claims to be a quasi-saint or half-saint and is qualified to commit fraud.

Besides, they had never heard that Haotian had reached this level.

In this realm, there is only one Kong Xuan.

Or those ancient gods who have not appeared in the world for a long time may have the fighting power of a quasi-saint.

But a quasi-saint is not a saint after all. It is said that those below a saint are all ants. I wonder what confidence Haotian has to challenge one of the two saints in the West.

The two saints of the West looked at each other.

Naturally, they would not accept the challenge, not to mention the issue of the big bullying the small.

As long as they agreed, I believe Hongjun would use it to make their plan to obtain the List of Gods fail.

Originally they didn't need to go through so much trouble.

If Dizang can successfully plot against Nezha, not only will they be able to win over Taiyi Zhenren, they will also have the opportunity to force the Heavenly Court to let the Chan Sect be in charge of the List of Gods.

The Twelve Golden Immortals in the Orthodox Sect are all relatively close relatives of their Western Sect. Through this, the Western Sect can also reap a lot of benefits and put the rampant Jie Sect on the list.

However, Yang Jian showed up unexpectedly and disrupted their plans.

Not only did his plot to take over Nezha fail, but he also relied on his relationship with Haotian to make Haotian determined to give Yang Jian control of the List of Gods.

As for the account of stealing lotus roots, they were afraid of the Taoist master Tongtian behind Yang Jian, so they had not yet settled the account with Yang Jian.

If Yang Jian really gets the identity of being in charge of the List of Conferred Gods, he will become increasingly unable to move, at least until the Conferred Gods calamity is over.

The Taoist Jie Yin thought for a while and spoke slowly: "The Heavenly Emperor is of noble status. If he fights with us, it will be extremely inappropriate and will only become a topic of conversation among other creatures. Why don't we each send out the person we have selected to be in charge of the Conferred God List, and the winner will get the Conferred God List."
