I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1479 Following the Will of Heaven, Ziya Descends the Mountain (Three chapters, one additional chapter added from yesterday)
Beneath the prayer mat, people stood in order on both sides. The first person standing on the left was a Taoist priest with white hair and a weathered face, exuding an air of otherworldly grace. He was none other than the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, the Taoist Ran Deng, holding a purple-gold alms bowl. His face was serene, revealing a sense of detachment from worldly affairs.

Beside him was Guang Chengzi, the chief disciple of the Chan Sect, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, holding the Heaven-Turning Seal, with a handsome face and a calm demeanor. He possessed the cultivation level of the late-stage Celestial Realm, and his inner strength was refined. He was the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and was highly regarded by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Below them were the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, including Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, Chijingzi, and Lingbao Dafashi. Each of them wore a Daoist robe, their auras were refined, and they were all top-tier cultivators at the Celestial level, powerful figures in their respective regions on the Tianwu Continent.

Before the Twelve Golden Immortals stood a Taoist priest with a gaunt face and clear eyes. He was none other than Jiang Ziya, whom the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had personally appointed to descend the mountain and assist Su Ye. At this moment, he stood with his head bowed, waiting for the Heavenly Venerable's decree.

The people in the hall were all core members of the Chan Sect. Apart from a few Golden Immortals who were in seclusion, almost all of them were here. The huge Yuqing Hall was completely silent, except for the sound of the inner energy flowing around Yuanshi Tianzun. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, which showed Yuanshi Tianzun's supreme authority in the Chan Sect.

After a long while, Yuanshi Tianzun finally spoke slowly, his voice carrying the essence of the Heavenly Dao, piercing through the clouds and resounding throughout the entire Yuqing Palace.

"Now that the secrets of heaven have been set and the destiny of heaven has returned to its proper course, I, the Heavenly Venerable, have calculated and predicted for several years and have gained insight into the mysteries of the chaotic world of the Tianwu Continent. Within the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty, Duke Su Ye, the Lord of the State, is the chosen one, bearing the heavy responsibility of upholding justice for the world and bringing peace to all living beings."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight commotion in the hall, but no one dared to speak casually; everyone listened intently.

"The purpose of my sect is to follow the will of Heaven and respond to the needs of the people, to educate and enlighten all living beings. Now that chaos has descended and the people are suffering, Heaven is choosing its master. Su Ye has risen in response to this opportunity, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, his power is unstoppable."

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable remained calm.

"Our sect should follow the will of Heaven, and with the full strength of the sect, assist Duke Zhenguo Su Ye in quelling the chaos of war, upholding the righteous path of the world, and restoring order to the land!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the hall varied, but they all calmly accepted it without the slightest objection.

Those Taoists who live in seclusion in the mountains year-round, such as the Grand Master Lingbao and the True Lord Qingxu, do not concern themselves with worldly disputes and only seek the Great Dao. They know very little about the struggles between feudal lords and the overall situation of the world.

In their eyes, the Heavenly Venerable's command is the command of Heaven. Whoever the Primordial Heavenly Venerable commands them to assist, they will assist. They only need to obey the Heavenly Venerable's decree, so why should they have any objections?

Those few who had some knowledge of the outside world, such as the vice leader, Daoist Ran Deng, and the chief disciple, Guang Chengzi, understood the situation perfectly and nodded in secret.

Although they resided in the Tiandi Mountain, they were aware of the general situation in the outside world. They knew that the current Duke of Zhenguo, Su Ye, had many fierce generals and strategists under his command, and his influence spread throughout major states such as Qianzhou, Hengzhou, Cangzhou, and Wuzhou.

Over the years, he has fought in the north and south with unstoppable momentum, defeating various powerful enemies and conquering many foreign forces. He is like a dragon emerging from the abyss, poised to conquer the world, and is the most destined ruler of the time.

The Heavenly Venerable's selection of Su Ye as the wise ruler to be supported was a move that followed the will of Heaven and was perfectly reasonable. Moreover, Su Ye's forces were strong and his fortune was prosperous. Assisting such a chosen one would not only bring peace to the people, but also help the Chan Sect to flourish and benefit one's cultivation of the Great Dao. Naturally, they would not have any objections.

Among the crowd, Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren had an undisguised look of joy in their eyes, their lips unconsciously curving upwards, their hearts filled with delight.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! The Heavenly Venerable has chosen the Duke of Zhenguo as the wise ruler, which is exactly what I wanted!"

“My newly accepted disciple, Nezha, is the son of Li Jing, also known as Li Yaoshi. He is currently one of the Grand Marshals of Su Ye’s army, guarding Qizhou and achieving great military exploits. If I lead my disciple down the mountain to assist Su Ye, I can reunite with Li Jing and his son. Moreover, Nezha can follow Su Ye to fight in all directions, temper his Dao heart, and achieve great things!”

Taiyi Zhenren stroked his beard, thinking to himself.

Nezha had already been born long ago and was implanted as the son of Li Jing, the physician who now governs Qizhou, and Yin Shi, the son of Su Kai, the King of Yunzhou. Now, several years have passed, and Nezha, who was only a few years old at the time, has grown into a teenager and has been taken in as a disciple by Taiyi Zhenren.

"Heaven is on my side! My prized disciple Yang Jian is born with superhuman strength and is now a powerful general under Duke Su Ye. He is now in charge of a region in the Dayong Dynasty and is highly valued by Su Ye."

"Now that the Heavenly Venerable has ordered me to assist Su Ye, I can go down the mountain to see my disciple, help Yang Jian break through his cultivation, and also borrow Su Ye's destiny and fortune to help the Chan Sect prosper. This is a win-win situation!"

Master Yu Ding was also delighted, his eyes shining.

The two were overjoyed and eagerly anticipated their mission to assist Su Ye, wishing they could immediately descend the mountain with Jiang Ziya and head to Hengzhou. "Where is Ziya!"

Yuanshi Tianzun sat upright on the futon, his eyes seemingly able to see through the thoughts of everyone in the hall. Seeing that no one had any objections, he nodded slightly.

"The disciple is here!"

Jiang Ziya bowed and stepped forward, responding in a deep voice.

"I hereby order you to descend the mountain first, rush to Hengzhou, pay your respects to Duke Su Ye, serve as his master, assist him in coordinating military affairs, stabilizing the rear, and paving the way for the disciples of the Chan Sect!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable slowly spoke, and the decree was issued.

"Disciple obeys the order!"

Jiang Ziya accepted the order in a deep voice, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.

"Guang Chengzi, Taiyi, and Yuding, you three, along with the remaining disciples of the Twelve Golden Immortals, should organize the magical treasures and secret techniques of the Chan Sect, choose a day to descend the mountain, and go to serve under Su Ye. Each of you should perform your duties and help Su Ye sweep away powerful enemies and unify the world!"

"The Daoist Ran Deng will remain at Tiandi Mountain to oversee the affairs of the Chan Sect, guard the mountain gate, and receive future disciples!"

Yuanshi Tianzun then looked at Guangchengzi, Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, and others, and continued.

"Disciple obeys the order!"

Everyone in the hall bowed in unison, accepted the order in deep, loud voices.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded slightly and said nothing more. The golden light around him grew even stronger, and his figure gradually became hazy as his inner energy swirled around him.

At the summit of Jade Void Mountain, auspicious clouds rose and celestial music lingered. After receiving their orders, the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect dispersed to prepare for their descent from the mountain.

While Su Ye was making a grand summons, in Yuzhou, north of Qianzhou...

As the capital of Yuzhou, Yulu City was even more bleak in autumn than the grasslands. The banners on the city walls fluttered in the north wind, and the gold thread of the character "night" on the banners had long been worn dull by years of war. Now, they were covered with a layer of gray dust, much like the current state of the city.

Inside the main hall of the prefectural government, the silver-boned charcoal in the brazier was burning brightly. The dampness left by last night's rain still lingered on the blue brick floor, reflecting the flickering candlelight in the hall and casting long and short shadows of the civil and military officials on both sides. Each of them lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.

"Li Yujing! How long are you going to remain so stubborn?"

Zhao Kuangyin slammed his hand on the table, the sound making the teacups on it vibrate. The spilled tea wet the spread-out map of Yuzhou, the dark lines blurring and resembling the current state of chaos in Yuzhou.

He was still wearing that black armor, the plates still stained with blood and dust from the Qianzhou battlefield, which he hadn't had time to wipe off, and his eyes were full of the weariness of battle.

The man called Li Yujing stood opposite the table, dressed in a dark blue brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist. He had a handsome face and a refined air about him, but he did not show any timidity.

He was the eldest son-in-law of Ye Wuhen, having married Ye Qingyi, the eldest daughter of the Ye family. In terms of seniority, he was older than Zhao Kuangyin, and in terms of experience, he was a true veteran in the Ye Sha Army.

Over the years, Li Yujing was in charge of the rear supply and logistics of the Night Fiend cavalry, who were able to fight in the north and south without any trace of trouble. He was a master strategist who never made any mistakes in the allocation of supplies, and the Night Fiend army was able to fight on the front lines year after year without any worries about the rear. He deserves great credit for this.
