Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 497: Chan/Jiejiao: This battle will be won

"This time, Junior Brother Ji should take the lead in the achievement."

Biyuan Mountain, a small internal meeting of the Chan sect.

Seeing the shining List of Gods and the Divine Whip placed in the center, all the Golden Immortals were delighted, and they looked at Ji Ren with even greater joy.

The List of Gods is here, King Wu is here, and the ending is already decided.

It is impossible to lose, the only difference is a big win, a small win, or a tragic win.

But in the end, we win.

Even if you are on the list of gods, although you will not be free, the person who is deified is your own family, so why worry about not having a good position?

“Master Guangchengzi has great supernatural powers. If it weren’t for Master Guangchengzi, I would not even have the chance to see the List of Gods. I am just lucky.” Ji Ren said modestly.

To be honest, Ji Ren is quite grateful to Guang Chengzi. This uncle-master has great supernatural powers and extraordinary fighting ability. He is also a decent person and cares for his disciples, which really satisfies Ji Ren.

Although Ji Ren is not a very decent person, he hopes that everyone around him is decent and not just Zhang Jingshou, who would ruin his reputation.

“I just opened up a passage for you, but it was you who discovered the List of Gods and it was you who identified the space. The great achievement is due to you. In the future, you will be the one who is in charge of the List of Gods, and your merits will be immeasurable.” Guangchengzi looked at Ji Ren and praised.

He felt that he had learned a lot from being with Ji Ren and his group.

It’s good to have such a nephew.

It means it is easy to be struck by lightning.

"That's right, and with his own efforts, he has brought us closer to the Bajing Palace and the Wahuang Palace. If anything happens during the catastrophe in the future, it will be convenient for us to travel back and forth." Zhenren Huanglong said with a proud smile.

"That's right."

The others also burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the entire cave was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After a while, the Immortal of the South Pole raised his hand and pressed down to control the atmosphere, and everyone stopped laughing.

Nanji Xianweng looked at Ji Ren, who remained calm despite being surrounded and teased by a group of Golden Immortals, and was even more satisfied. At such a young age, he remained calm in front of so many Golden Immortal elders. The Chan Sect should flourish in three generations. He smiled and said, "Nephew, what do you think our next step should be?"

"First, send the List of Gods back to Kunlun to consolidate the foundation." Ji Ren said calmly. Naturally, his expression did not change.

Are you kidding? Except for Master Huanglong, nine other guys who have been single for tens of millions of years are laughing at him for having four wives. Are you kidding?
Why should he be embarrassed?
"And then?" the Immortal of the South Pole continued to ask.

"Then, disciples think that we can temporarily conceal the news that we have obtained the List of Investiture of the Gods. Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. On the other hand, in order to fight a war, you need to confuse others. If we conceal the news that we have obtained the List of Investiture of the Gods, then when we take action in the future, we only need to make a little calculation to cause the other side to misjudge." Ji Ren said.

"According to what you mean, we don't need to look for the next person to be afflicted with the calamity?" said the Immortal of the South Pole.

"Yes. It would be best if we can truly control the person who is destined to be deified. Then a real or fake person who is deified will come to help our development. Or, we can pretend that there is a person who is deified this time and we need to look for the List of Gods, then leak the news to Jiejiao, and then set a trap in advance to ambush the people from Jiejiao first. All are fine." Ji Ren said.

Nanji Xianweng nodded slightly, showing satisfaction and said: "Okay, I will take the Investiture of the Gods back to Kunlun now, and leave the Divine Whip to you. Next, we will continue to search for the person who should be robbed and pretend that we have not found the Investiture of the Gods.

"And what about King Wu? According to past years' practice, no matter whether we are condensing the Dharma image of King Zhou or the Dharma image of King Wu, we choose one of them to assist and we will first help him return to the mortal country and unify the country he originally came from, but this time is an exception." Ji Ren asked.

"According to convention, Da Qi will belong to Jiejiao. With the blessing of heaven, we can stop the current King Zhou. Going against the will of heaven is not good." said the Immortal of the South Pole.

Supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny.

If you go against the will of heaven, heaven will punish you.

Just like how powerful Zhao Gongming was back then, with the Dinghai Pearl in his hand, he single-handedly fought against the entire Chan sect and achieved the highest record among the Jie sect, killing Jiang Shang, capturing Huang Long alive, defeating five golden immortals including Guangchengzi, and hunting down the deputy sect leader Randang, almost killing him.

But who could have thought that when they were chasing Randeng, they would run into two immortals with mediocre cultivation on the roadside, and these two immortals happened to have a top-level spiritual treasure, the Luobao Money, which could counter the Dinghai Pearl?
You should know that Huanglong Zhenren, the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, does not have any magical treasures.

These two scattered immortals have it. Now the luck is in business, if it obstructs the big business, it is almost the same.

"Then we need to choose a new piece of land for King Wu, and this requires discussion with King Zhou on the opposite side. I think we should find a suitable time for everyone to sit down and talk together." Ji Ren said.

"What if Jiejiao doesn't want to talk about it?" said the Immortal of the South Pole.

"They have no right not to talk. Because they need luck, they must support King Zhou on the opposite side. King Zhou is blessed by luck and will never be willing to be a puppet. They need some power to fight against Jiejiao, even if it is just nominal suppression. I am confident about this because I know King Zhou on the opposite side very well." Ji Ren said.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I will negotiate with them later." The Immortal of the South Pole nodded.

It would undoubtedly be a good thing if it could alienate King Zhou and the Jiejiao.

Ji Ren nodded, and after communicating for a while, he turned around and left to find the King of Han to reassure him.

Ji Ren didn't know whether King Zhou and Jiejiao were at odds, but he felt that King Han and Chanjiao were not on the same page, so he still needed to act as a go-between to connect the two sides.

Over the next few days, everything returned to normal, wandering in the void as before.

However, Ji Ren felt that something was wrong because he had not seen Duobao Taoist from Jiejiao.

Even when Nuwa appeared last time, he did not show up. This is unreasonable.

At the same time, in the East China Sea, in the Biyou Palace.

Master Tongtian sat on a cloud bed, his figure was vast and majestic, with a chaotic aura flowing. He was clearly here, yet it seemed as if he was in another void. A wisp of breath rippled away, and there was a sign of the creation of primordial chaos and the destruction of heaven and earth.

Below, two people were standing.

One is the chief disciple of Jiejiao, Duobao Taoist, and the other one, if Ji Ren were here, he would recognize the other person's identity, the successor of Zhang Liang's Dharma image, the great Han strategist Zhang Hui.

"I have accomplished my mission and brought back the person who was deified." Taoist Duobao bowed and said.

"Okay." Master Tongtian, who was sitting on the cloud bed, nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Zhang Hui who was standing next to Taoist Duobao.

Zhang Hui's body trembled slightly instinctively.

"You are the image of a flying bear and are destined to face disaster. From now on, you will be a disciple of my Biyou Palace." Master Tongtian said in a loud voice.

"Disciple greets Master." Zhang Hui immediately knelt down and saluted.

Patriarch Tongtian nodded slightly and waved his hand. A stream of light flew past and landed on Zhang Hui's neck, revealing the appearance of an immortality lock. The lock was golden in color and had the inscription of the Heavenly Dao on it.

"This is a heart-piercing lock. Wearing it can keep you safe. From now on, you should practice well in the Biyou Palace." said Master Tongtian.

"Disciple obeys the order." Zhang Hui saluted immediately.

Master Tongtian nodded slightly and let Zhang Hui go down.

In the huge Biyou Palace, only Tongtian Patriarch and Duobao Taoist were left. Tongtian Patriarch said, "Thank you for your hard work this time. Spread this news and give the Chan Sect a good slap in the face! Let Yuanshi know that his ridiculous rules have finally become rotten."

"Master, I think we can temporarily block the news about the person who was deified, so that the people of the Chan Sect cannot figure out our true strength." Taoist Duobao said.

"Is it necessary?" Master Tongtian frowned.

"Yes, if we don't get it, and the Chan Sect doesn't get it either, then who has the person who can be deified? Heaven, Buddhism? They are all possible. If we can induce the Chan Sect to fight them, then this disaster will be smoother. With the person who can be deified in our hands, we will surely win this battle, but a miserable victory is also a defeat." Taoist Duobao said.

Tong Tian Patriarch heard this, thought for a while and said: "You are right, let's do as you say. In this battle, we must not only win, but also win big. He, the Chan Sect, who follows the will of heaven, has replaced the Emperor of Heaven. If we, the Jie Sect, do not replace him, won't others laugh at our Biyou Palace for being incompetent?"

"Disciple obeys your command." Taoist Duobao said seriously.
