I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Biyou Palace in the East Sea.

Purple Ganoderma Cliff in front of the palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, standing with his hands behind his back, was watching his disciples fight and compete when, as if sensing the will of Heaven, he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"What's wrong, Master?" Daoist Duobao asked softly from behind him.

"I just feel like something bad is happening," said the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Daoist Duobao said softly, "Disciple, please investigate?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader waved his hand and pondered, "Go and write two lines of verse and post them on the gate of Biyou Palace."

Daoist Duobao nodded: "Please instruct me, Master."

"The Yellow Court Palace is tightly sealed, as if the Western Lands have been afflicted by disaster," the Tongtian Sect Leader said quietly.

Regarding the Investiture of the Gods, his idea was to send those disciples from the outer sect of the Jie Sect who were of poor aptitude, talent, character, and strength to the top.

This way, they not only gave an explanation to the Heavenly Emperor, but also secured a future for these disciples.

As for whether the Jade Emperor was ultimately satisfied...

So what if he's not satisfied? He can't exactly go to Zixiao Palace to complain, can he?
Don't want your face?
For this reason, he could not repeatedly issue strict orders that all the immortals of the Jie Sect should not interfere in human disputes.

As mentioned before, this verse was intended to help people avoid worldly troubles. This verse is for the inner disciples.

The inner disciples should understand the general trend and not act recklessly according to their own whims...

Song.

Lutai.

Under the dark night sky, a circular door with sparkling flames suddenly appeared below the platform, and a figure in a long robe walked out from the door.

Upon recognizing the figure, Bai Jian, who was in charge of overseeing the construction of the Conferred God Platform, immediately flew forward to greet him: "Master Jiang."

Qin Yao nodded and asked, "Is it almost finished?"

Bai Jian said, "It will take at least seven days, or as little as three days, to complete the work!"

"I can't wait that long. I'll help you. It has to be finished before dawn," Qin Yao said.

Bai Jian asked, puzzled, "Daoist Master, why are you in such a hurry?"

"After dawn, I will go to Yuxu Palace and, under the pretext that the Conferred God Platform is completed, request the Investiture of the Gods," Qin Yao replied.

Bai Jian suddenly realized: "I'll go get people to start work right away..."

The Conferred God Platform cannot be conjured up, therefore its construction with human assistance is based on practical necessity...

"No need."

Qin Yao called him to a stop, and then with a thought, he instantly created hundreds or thousands of clones: "You direct, I build."

Bai Jian stared at this scene in astonishment.

To create so many clones in one go, and for each clone to be able to do work... Master Jiang's magical power was far beyond his imagination.

In the blink of an eye.

The night ends and the day dawns.

As the first rays of dawn shone upon the earth, Qin Yao stood atop the Conferred God Platform and suddenly retracted all his clones: "Bai Jian, wait for me to return."

"Respectfully seeing off the Daoist Master." Bai Jian bowed respectfully.

Qin Yao smiled slightly, his body transforming into a golden rainbow that vanished instantly into the clear blue sky...

Not long after.

His body flashed to Kunlun Mountain, passed Qilin Cliff, and arrived at the outside of Yuxu Palace. He did not enter without permission, but stood outside the door and bowed, saying, "Jiang Ziya greets Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, the White Crane Boy's body transformed into a blur and appeared in front of him in an instant: "Uncle-Master, the Master invites you."

Qin Yao nodded slightly and followed the other person into the temple. He looked up at the high platform and said, "Reporting to Master, the Conferring God Platform has been completed."

"So fast?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

Qin Yao said, "There was a slight accident."

Yuanshi asked curiously, "What accident?"

"The disciples of the Jie Sect, the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, have taken up official positions in Xiqi and even became Ji Fa's teachers. I was ordered to capture Ji Fa, and just happened to run into them head-on," Qin Yao said.

Yuan Shi understood; this was clearly an attempt to put the four people from Kowloon Island on the list.

However, they deserve to be on the list.

These mere Great Luo Celestial Immortals dare to call themselves the Four Saints; if they don't die, who will?
Thinking of this, Yuanshi took out the Investiture of the Gods with a flip of his hand and pushed it in mid-air in front of Qin Yao: "Take it."

Qin Yao silently raised his hands, seemingly respectfully accepting this supreme treasure, and then spoke:
“Master, the four saints are all extraordinary in their individual strength and the mounts they ride.”

I had already fought them once before, but I couldn't even defeat those four beasts. I am truly ashamed.

"I beg you, Master, lend me a priceless treasure for self-defense, lest my life be in danger."

Yuanshi Tianzun hesitated and said, "Logically speaking, your request is not excessive, and I should lend you a treasure for self-defense."

However, I only have one apricot-yellow flag left for self-defense. If I give it to you and Shen Gongbao finds out, how can he be expected to serve me wholeheartedly?

After all, he is also crucial. If he doesn't do his utmost to drag the Jiejiao Immortals down with him, how can our grand plan proceed?

Qin Yao thought for a moment and smiled, "This is not difficult. Master can arrange the Apricot Yellow Flag in a certain place and design a challenge to seize the treasure."

Then, they will inform me and Shen Gongbao of the specific location, ensuring fairness and impartiality; whoever gets the flag at that time will claim it.

"Aren't you afraid? What if he gets the Apricot Yellow Flag?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

Qin Yao said, "First of all, I have confidence in myself; secondly, I can afford to lose, I am willing to accept defeat, and I will have no complaints."

"Your temperament is outstanding, even within the Jade Void Palace," Yuanshi Tianzun remarked.

Qin Yao cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your praise, Master."

Yuanshi laughed and said, "Go ahead, I'll let you know as soon as I've made the arrangements here..."

Half an hour later.

Chaoge Lutai.

Qin Yao handed the Investiture of the Gods to Bai Jian and instructed him, "Refine this treasure and hang it on the Investiture Platform, ready to receive the souls of immortals at any time."

"Yes, sir." Bai Jian bowed and accepted the order, then carried the Investiture of the Gods to the altar.

Soon after, when he successfully refined the Investiture of the Gods and hung the blank list on the Investiture Platform, the sky suddenly became stormy, revealing an extraordinary aura.

Qin Yao knew that the gears of fate for the Great Tribulation of the Gods had begun to turn.

From then on, whenever a Daoist immortal died in a great calamity, the Investiture of the Gods would send the immortal's information and location back to Bai Jian, so that he could go and collect the immortal's soul.

After all, even if they die, not everyone willingly makes it onto the list.

Many Taoist immortals only dream of resurrection, like Nezha in the original story...

a few days later.

In the Xiqi Palace.

Ji Fa, wielding a battle axe, unleashed a divine light that cleaved the artificial hill in the garden in two, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Your Majesty is truly a genius. You have only just begun your cultivation journey, yet you have already developed magical power and been able to unleash powerful energy." Behind him, Wang Mo praised with a smile.

Ji Fa put away his axe, stood up, and turned around with a smile: "It's all thanks to the good teaching of my four masters."

The four waved their hands repeatedly, not daring to take credit.

"By the way, could you four masters do me a favor?" Ji Fa asked suddenly as he led the four to the pavilion.

"What is it?" Yang Sen asked curiously.

Ji Fa's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Go to Chaoge and help me kill King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu!" The scene of Huang Feihu chasing him with a sword at his elder brother's house filled him with deep hatred.

Now that I suddenly have four divine masters by my side, I certainly can't forget about revenge!

The four looked at each other and then secretly communicated before Wang Mo said, "Your Majesty, please forgive us for being unable to agree to your condition."

Ji Fa asked, "What concerns do you four masters have?"

He didn't understand. He wasn't asking them to kill King Zhou, nor was he asking them to save his father and brothers. What was wrong with killing a mortal?

Wang Mo said, "Huang Feihu and Wen Zhong are close friends. If we kill him, I'm afraid Wen Zhong will come to attack."

Ji Fa: "..."

Wen Zhong.

It's Wen Zhong again!

He now deeply understands that Wen Zhong is the biggest obstacle to his alliance with the immortal sects.

Half an incense stick later.

Ji Fa arrived alone at the Grand Preceptor's residence. Facing Shen Gongbao, who greeted him, he asked bluntly, "Grand Preceptor, can you find a way to get rid of Wen Zhong?"

Shen Gongbao was taken aback for a moment, then asked in return, "Why does Your Majesty say such a thing?"

Ji Fa did not hide anything and told the whole story about the performance of the Four Saints of Kowloon Island.

Shen Gongbao frowned slightly: "This is indeed a big problem..."

Ji Fa said, "If the Four Sages of Nine Dragons Island are like this, the other immortals of the Intercepting Sect may also be like this; Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong must be eliminated!"

Shen Gongbao nodded, about to speak, when a white crane suddenly flew down from the sky and called out loudly, "Uncle Shen..."

"Nephew Baihe, what are the Sage's instructions?" Shen Gongbao looked in the direction of the voice and asked with a smile.

Bai He said, "Recently, Jiang Ziya went to Yuxu Palace to borrow the apricot-yellow flag, a treasure of the palace."

The master considers that you and he are both working for the Chan Sect, so how can he not treat them equally?

Therefore, he did not agree directly, but instead placed the Apricot Yellow Flag in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and arranged for the Four-Unlikes to guard it, waiting for the two of you to go and seize the treasure.

Ultimately, whoever captures the Apricot Yellow Banner can use it during this great calamity.

Shen Gongbao let out a long breath and muttered, "How treacherous Jiang Ziya is!"

Bai He pretended not to hear and spoke again: "Would you like me to take you there now, or wait a while and give you some time to arrange other things?"

"Of course we should go now, and we must get there before Jiang Ziya!" Shen Gongbao said decisively.

immediately.

After bidding farewell to Ji Fa, he rode on a cloud and followed behind the white crane, quickly arriving at a cliff where clouds and mist swirled.

"Uncle Shen, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is just below," the white crane said softly, stopping in mid-air.

"Thank you." Shen Gongbao didn't dare to delay at all and immediately jumped into the sea of ​​clouds, crashing heavily into the valley floor.

To his surprise, there was no trace of Jiang Ziya at the bottom of the valley, which meant that he had gotten there a step ahead of him!
Struggling to control his overwhelming joy, Shen Gongbao finally focused his gaze on a yellow flag planted in the center of the valley.

If nothing unexpected happens, this flag should be the apricot-yellow flag.

Strangely, next to the flag stood a stone dragon sculpture and a deer sculpture.

Although he wasn't sure what it meant, he had a vague sense of danger.

At this moment, Qin Yao, led by a bluebird, arrived at the edge of the cloud cliff. Looking down, he saw Shen Gongbao inspecting the valley floor, as well as the stone dragon and the stone deer.

It's worth mentioning that this stone dragon is the same one he "snatched" from Shen Gongbao, and it has already pledged allegiance to Bodhi, but it's unclear why it's here...

"Uncle-Master Jiang, please make yourself at home," said Qingniao.

Qin Yao smiled and nodded. In a flash, an idea came to him. He deliberately created a golden light and a sound of air being torn apart, making a powerful impact on the apricot-yellow flag.

In the valley.

Because the investigation time was too short, Shen Gongbao had not yet figured out the mystery of the place when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound and looked up to see a familiar figure.

In his panic, he didn't have time to think too much and, taking advantage of the distance, grabbed the apricot-yellow flag with his bare hands.

But just as his fingers touched the flagpole, the apricot-yellow flag suddenly blazed with golden light, instantly petrifying him on the spot.

Shen Gongbao was dumbfounded.

At the same time, I realized why there was a stone dragon and a stone deer here.

midair.

Seeing this, Qin Yao immediately changed direction and landed in front of the petrified Shen Gongbao in a flash of light: "Brother, look at you, you're in such a hurry again."

Shen Gongbao instinctively wanted to speak out and rebuke, but the petrification seemed to have sealed even his soul, allowing him to see and hear but not transmit his voice.

Qin Yao smiled, then closed his eyes and sensed the traces of the other four flags.

Through the petrified black dragon and the four-legged creature, he confirmed that, just as in the original story, the magic array here still had the property of petrification.

If that's the case, then the four flags responsible for petrification must also exist.

As long as the positions of these four flags are moved to disrupt the entire formation, capturing the Apricot Yellow Flag will be a piece of cake.

He quickly located the positions of the four flags, stomped his foot lightly, and his immortal energy instantly split into four streams, seeping into the earth and shaking out the four magical artifacts in an instant.

At the same time, Qin Yao raised his hand and grabbed the apricot-yellow flag, and the black dragon, the deer, and Shen Gongbao were also released from their restraints.

Give me back the flag!

Of the three, Shen Gongbao was the first to come to his senses and suddenly pounced on Qin Yao.

Qin Yao waved the apricot-yellow flag, and a burst of immortal energy flew out, sending Shen Gongbao flying dozens of meters with a bang.

He wanted to conceal his true abilities, but not to play dumb to outmaneuver others, so naturally he wouldn't pretend to be locked in a fierce battle with them.

"Cough cough."

Upon landing, Shen Gongbao pressed his palms to the ground, his eyes bloodshot, and coughed up blood repeatedly.

Qin Yao raised the apricot-yellow flag, pretending to be about to kill him, and rushed towards his body.

Shen Gongbao's expression changed drastically. He dared not linger and vanished in a flash.

Qin Yao silently stopped where he had left, smiled without a word, and then asked the black dragon, "What are you doing here?"

"Who are you?" the black dragon asked.

"I am Bodhi's friend, Jiang Ziya of Yuxu Palace," Qin Yao said.

Upon hearing the word "Bodhi," the black dragon visibly relaxed and replied:
"I was originally in seclusion nearby when I suddenly saw a precious light descending from the sky. I came to seize the treasure, but unexpectedly, I was stopped by this deer. In the fierce battle, we were both careless and were petrified by the formation."

Qin Yao then looked at the deer and asked, "Are you a four-legged creature?"

The four-legged creature nodded slightly: "The outcome is decided, and I should be leaving now."

"Wait a moment."

Qin Yao laughed and said, "I'm in need of a mount, why don't you stay and take on this task?"

The four-legged creature shook its head and said, "I'm not interested."

Just as it was about to take flight, Qin Yao suddenly said, "I can help you kill the evil corpse inside your body."

The four-legged creature paused slightly, then asked in astonishment, "How did you know I have an evil corpse inside me?"

Qin Yao said, "There are very few things in the world that can be hidden from me, and besides, your evil corpse is not well hidden either."

In the original story, the Qilin possessed an ability that terrified all beasts in the world. Even the four great magical beasts of the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island dared not provoke it easily.

That's why they were recruited as thugs.

After all, he can't reveal too much of his strength right now... (End of Chapter)
