Chapter 99: Going with the flow and returning to Chaoge
Tongtian Patriarch smiled and shook his head: "This generation of Heaven has been established for more than ten thousand years, but it is weak and will inevitably seek a way out.

Originally, I saw that you had an aura of an ancient god similar to Haotian. When he sent Yao Ji to the outside of the island, I was certain that the Heavenly Court would definitely use you to gain support from our sect.

I want you to enter the Heavenly Palace, present the Investiture of the Gods, and at the same time promote the union of the three religions, put pressure on Nuwa, and make her hand over the Mountain and River Map to make the Investiture of the Gods, and then we can work together to invest in the Investiture of the Gods!"

Hearing these words, Yang Jian's mind was filled with thoughts.

Originally, he thought that the Conferred Gods Tribulation was a bloody fight between the Jie Sect and the Chen Sect.

Now it seems that Master Tongtian does not intend to raise his knife against the Chan sect.

There are also opinions on revival, elimination and exposition.

He suddenly realized something.

That is what Jin'ao Island has been subtly promoting to many third-generation disciples.

It turned out that Master Tongtian was planning to ask those ancient immortals and gods to take action.

The Investiture of the Gods is simply a treasure tailor-made for the Heavenly Court.

Use the List of Gods to let the Heavenly Court take the lead and unite the disciples of the three religions to clear out the remaining ancient immortals and gods in the ancient world.

The vacant power over heaven and earth, and the blessed land of mountains, rivers, and nature can naturally be redistributed.

Why is this happening!

Yang Jian couldn't understand why this great calamity of the Conferred Gods was completely different from what he remembered.

Wasn't the beginning of the great calamity of the Conferred Gods caused by Emperor Xin writing an erotic poem in the Nuwa Temple?

It has been less than two months since Emperor Xin ascended the throne, and the Jiejiao sect has already begun to take action.

The intention of Master Tongtian was obviously to let him go to the Heaven and work for the Heavenly Court.

Yang Jian hesitated: "Yao Ji was just driven away by anger, she won't come back for a while."

"So I want you to leave Jin'ao Island and go to Chaoge. As long as the Heavenly Court looks for you again, you should go with the flow and find an opportunity to present the Investiture of the Gods to Haotian."

"Giving such a precious treasure to the Heavenly Court, isn't it~"

"It's okay. The magic weapon I taught you to refine naturally has a backup plan for dealing with it."

Master Tongtian waved his hand.

Yang Jian was finally able to leave Jin'ao Island.

Jin'ao Island seems to be a blessed land.

But ever since he came here, his mind seemed to be oppressed.

Although it is safe, there is no breathing space.

And his magic eye is useless here.

During these two months, not a single bit of essence was gained.

I can only rely on my own practice to get through each day.

It's really annoying.

As soon as Yang Jian left Biyou Palace, he saw the Golden Spirit Mother, Turtle Spirit Mother, and Wu Dang Mother flying over.

It was obvious that he wanted to persuade Taoist Duobao not to follow the Mahayana Buddhism.

But Yang Jian knew that they would not be able to persuade him.

He came to this conclusion by corroborating the primitive background in his memory with the story of the Conferred God.

Taoist Duobao chose to use Mahayana Buddhism to align himself with the Tao, but his real intention was not to do so.

On the surface, it was to help with the refining of the List of Gods, but another reason was for the Western religion.

There has always been a saying that Buddhism is about to flourish, so Western religions took advantage of the impending catastrophe and followed the trend.

They have been infiltrating the Jie Religion, and after the original Battle of the Gods, half of the Jie Religion's disciples became mounts and disciples of the Western Buddhist sect.

But Duobao Taoist's move was obviously to steal the house.

At this time, Yang Jian thought carefully. In the Battle of Conferred Gods in his memory, most of the disciples of Jiejiao were included in the Conferred God List. Although their cultivation base and physical bodies were shattered, countless years of hard training were dissipated in an instant.

But in the end, all the gods in heaven were disciples of Jiejiao, and the top leader of Buddhism, Duobao Tathagata, was Duobao Taoist.

Although he felt uncomfortable after being included in the List of Gods, the power was real.

Didn't the Jiejiao launch the great calamity of the Conferred Gods just to redistribute resources and power between heaven and earth?
It’s hard to say who wins and who loses.

Yang Jian quietly pinched the unfinished Investiture of the Gods hidden in his sleeve, and felt a lot more at ease.

By joining the Jiejiao Sect, he has already taken the initiative in the great calamity of the Conferred Gods.

This trip to Jin'ao Island not only allowed him to escape from Shen Gongbao's control, but also brought him a lot of gains.

Let’s not talk about the pile of treasures in the storage space in the sleeves.

The three-pointed, double-edged sword alone brought him a completely different level of strength improvement.

Ordinary immortals can't do anything to him.

Yang Jian returned to the Jinling Cave Heaven, waiting for the return of the Jinling Mother.

After bidding farewell to his master, he would leave Jin'ao Island and head to Chaoge.

At that time, whether it is to go to Shu to expand the territory.

Or follow Wen Zhong to pacify Beihai.

They all represent endless spirit.

The only correct thing to do is to improve your cultivation.

Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged, practicing the Taoist methods in the Lingbao Taoist Scriptures, absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and slowly improving his cultivation.

About three days later.

The Golden Spirit Mother just came back from the Biyou Palace.

She looked very unhappy.

Obviously she did not achieve her goal.

Yang Jian sensed that the Golden Spirit Mother had returned and stopped transporting spiritual energy.

The golden hairpin on the head of the Golden Spirit Mother was shaking, making her seem a little restless.

"Yang Jian, what's wrong with immortality? Why do you have to give up yourself just for the sake of the wish of equality for all living beings?"

Because Duobao Taoist's choice was really beyond her comprehension.

The doubt in Yang Jian's eyes made the Golden Spirit Mother smile bitterly.

She explained: "The two saints in the West made great wishes to heaven and earth, and only then were they able to merge with the Tao, and with the help of the primordial purple energy bestowed by the Taoist ancestor, they were able to become saints.

Were the two saints so stupid that they did not choose the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures?
Naturally not.

If you want to be in harmony with the Tao, you need to pay a price.

Taiqing's way of inaction.

The price is that he can hardly show himself in front of others. He can only stay in the Tushita Palace, refining elixirs and weapons day and night. He cannot personally participate in the many major events happening in the world.

This is the price of inaction.

Senior Brother Duobao chose the path of selflessness, which was an extremely stupid choice."

"When you reach the Primordial Realm one day and kill all three corpses, you will be faced with the choice of merging with the Dao. So what if you can't? Isn't it good to live forever?"

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother sighed and said, "What's the point of me explaining all this? After all, you haven't become an immortal yet, and it's still a long way to go before you can truly achieve harmony with the Tao."

"Perhaps Master Xiaobao has his own considerations, so the leader supports him."

Yang Jian spoke after careful consideration.

"Consider it~ Hey~ They are just like-minded. Teaching without discrimination has caused Jin'ao Island to be overcrowded and overwhelmed. As for the equality of all beings, I think they are just wasting their time. All beings in the world don't think about equality. What can I accomplish by teaching these disciples? Even if the Conferred God List is successfully refined, I am afraid it will be a wedding dress for the Heavenly Court. Equality of all beings will only become empty talk in the end."

Empty talk!

The Golden Spirit Mother suddenly thought of something.

If she could see this, then Tongtian Sect Master and Duobao Taoist would certainly be able to see it. She looked stern and kept silent, not explaining to Yang Jian's doubts.

Then he asked, "You have been my disciple for only a month, and I have not yet taught you how to cultivate. My responsibilities as a teacher have not yet been fulfilled. In the blink of an eye, you will leave Jin'ao Island. If you leave, Master will have to watch these ugly people on Jin'ao Island and live their lives. I don't know how I can survive this."

Master Tongtian told his disciples about the arrangements for Yang Jian.

So the Golden Spirit Holy Mother naturally knew that Yang Jian was about to leave.

I couldn't bear it at this moment, and felt a little sad for a moment.

Yang Jian bowed and said, "When the Conferred God List is completed, I will return to Jin'ao Island to accompany Master."

Although he said this, what he was thinking in his heart was that whoever wanted to go to Jin'ao Island could go, he was the only one who didn't want to come.

The Golden Spirit Mother looked at Yang Jian meaningfully, as if she could see through Yang Jian's intentions.

Yang Jian couldn't help but blush.

The Golden Spirit Mother turned around and took Yang Jian to the place where she stored the treasures in the cave, and went in to search.

"Where are you going?"

She didn't find what she was looking for, and when she thought about it carefully, she had no recollection of it at all.

Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the white clouds in the sky and was immediately delighted: "So it's here."

She stretched out her hand towards the sky and a white cloud was pulled down. It kept getting smaller and smaller until it turned into a cotton candy-sized cloud.

He threw the cloud to Yang Jian and said, "This is a white cloud that I made in ancient times. It has the magical power of soaring clouds. I used it less frequently after I got the Seven Fragrance Chariot. I'll give it to you now."

Yang Jian sensed the cloud in his hand and found it to be a magical weapon for escaping into the air.

He hurriedly thanked him.

The Golden Spirit Mother took out the communication talisman and handed it to Yang Jian.

Finally, he gave him a detailed lecture and explained the important things to pay attention to.

As a master, I am naturally worried about my disciple who is going on a long journey.

The person she asked Yang Jian to be careful of was an immortal named Hong Jin, and said that he was originally her third apprentice.

However, due to his bad conduct, he was expelled from Jin'ao Island four hundred years ago and left to fend for himself.

Now that Yang Jian has become the third disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother, Hong Jin is bound to hold a grudge against him and will inevitably cause trouble for Yang Jian.

The repeated instructions are nothing more than twelve words: be careful outside, don't try to show off, and ask for help if anything happens.

The next day.

Yang Jian received the talisman.

He released a ball of white cloud that had just been bestowed by the Golden Spirit Mother and stepped on it.

Although it feels soft on the feet, it also feels heavy and gives people a very solid feeling.

Then he urged on with his magic power.

The white cloud instantly turned into a beam of white light and flew away from the island.

When Yang Jian came to the outside of the island.

I suddenly realized that someone was waiting for me.

No wonder he was looking for Taoist Duobao to receive the jade talisman.

Taoist Duobao said that he had found a few fellow disciples for him so that they could take care of each other on the road.

Yang Jian greeted the people in front of him one by one.

Among them are Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi, both of whom are immortals and disciples of Zhao Gongming. They are going to Shu to visit their master Zhao Gongming at Mount Emei and help Wen Zhong open up the territory of Shu.

There is also a person with a lower cultivation level who has not yet become an immortal. His name is Hu Lei, and he is a disciple of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit. He says that he wants to work under Wen Zhong to gain some fame.

While speaking, he kept winking at several people, showing that he understood.

Several people tacitly.

They have been stuck on Jin'ao Island for three hundred years. This time they are able to leave the island to do some work, which makes them much better than their fellow disciples who are still staying on the island.

In the past, all the land in the wilderness was owned by someone else, and they had nowhere to go unless they left the island.

Now Wen Zhong has opened up the situation in Southern Continent. They say they are going to help Wen Zhong, but in fact they are finally enjoying themselves after being suppressed for a long time.

The four of them each drove their magic weapons to continue their journey.

Soon, they discovered that the white cloud that Yang Jian was sitting on was moving extremely fast.

Yang Jian’s cultivation level is not high, so it is obvious that this magic weapon is extraordinary.

In order to reach Jambu Continent as soon as possible.

Yang Jian then asked the three of them to come above the white clouds.

"Your cloud-flying technique is very advanced, you are indeed a disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother."

Yao Shaosi exclaimed in admiration.

The other two also said that Yang Jian's cloud-flying technique was the most powerful they had ever seen.

"This is just the soaring magic weapon that my master, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, used in the past. It was created by her conjuring a wisp of white cloud and solidifying the soaring magic power. It is not the soaring magic that I used."

It would have been better if Yang Jian didn't explain. As soon as he explained, he immediately noticed that the four people looked very unhappy.

"It seems that fellow Taoist is very much in the Master's favor."

Yao Shaosi said, trying to suppress the sour feeling in his heart.

"It's just material possessions. What's there to envy? Improving your cultivation is the most important thing."

Chen Jiugong pretended to be indifferent and said.

He had been a disciple of Zhao Gongming for a thousand years, but apart from his usual guidance in cultivation, he had never received any material possessions from him.

At this moment, his heart was almost deformed by jealousy, but he had already become an immortal after all, and after a long period of self-cultivation, he did not reveal any flaws.

After three months.

Even though Yang Jian had the white cloud bestowed by the Golden Spirit Mother, it still took him three months to fly to the Southern Continent by riding the white cloud.

Fortunately, his Eight-Nine Profound Art is best at endurance, which not only improves his physical body, but even the recovery of his mana is stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

When he was riding the white clouds, the speed at which his mana was consumed could not keep up with the speed at which his mana was recovered.

After three months of sleepless nights and heading south, I finally arrived at Jambu Continent.

He was at a loss as to how to fly next.

The other three also didn't know the direction of Chaoge.

Yang Jian flew along the coast, preparing to find a place with people to ask around.

Above the clouds, I suddenly saw the shadow of a town appear below.

White clouds descended in front of the city gate and four people landed on the ground.

Then I saw three big characters "Chentang Pass" written on the city gate.

　Today's update is complete.

　　The Jin'ao Island chapter has ended.

　　I found out that I can't have my cake and eat it too.

　　This volume departs from the principle of gradual progress.

　　The stage is still too high.

　　Yang Jian was still a short man and couldn't reach it.

　　Fortunately, the stage has been set.

　　The next volume is about Yang Jian's appearance on the stage.
