Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 292: Beating the Immortal Whip and Overturning the Table
Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuan Shi suddenly frowned: "Something is wrong!"

He actually sensed a sense of conspiracy just now.

He immediately counted on his fingers, but found nothing.

This made Yuanshi feel a little uneasy.

Although the List of Gods was in his hands, and the one who was destined to be calamity had worshipped him as his master, the initiative of the List of Gods was in his hands.

But Daozu also said that there are variables in this catastrophe, and it is definitely not a good thing to sense something wrong now.

The saint's mysterious perception is not aimless.

"It seems we can't wait any longer, and his cultivation has reached its limit!"

Yuanshi murmured in his heart, and then said to the crane boy who was dozing beside him:
"Tong'er, go and call your Senior Brother Jiang!"

"Yes!"

The crane boy's body trembled, and he did not dare to delay. He bowed and quickly left Yuxu Palace, transformed into his true form of a crane and flew towards a mountain in the distance.

Soon he returned with a group of people.

If Qi Tian was here, he would be able to recognize that this was Jiang Shang, whose origin he had discovered before was basically occupied by the origin of the laws of immortals.

but,

At this time, Jiang Shang was no longer the young man he used to be, but had become a sixty-year-old old man.

"Disciple Jiang Shang pays homage to Master. May Master live forever."

"Ok!"

Yuanshi nodded, and looking at his cultivation level which was only at the Lianxu Hedao level, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ever since Jiang Shang came to Kunlun Mountain, he has attached great importance to him.

After all, he is the one who is destined to be a god and face disaster, so how could he not take him seriously?

Not only was he taught the profound Jade Purity Immortal Technique, but he was also provided with various elixirs and magical medicines to assist him in his practice, all in order to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible so that he could better take charge of the List of Conferred Gods and control the Conferred God Calamity.

however,
It didn't take long for Yuanshi to become disappointed.

Because he found that although Jiang Shang seemed to have a good talent for cultivating immortals, for some reason his progress in cultivation was frighteningly slow.

Even if he personally used the power of a saint to lay the foundation for it, and with the help of elixirs and magic medicines.

Decades have passed, and he still hasn't achieved immortality.

This talent is too poor.

With so many methods, even a pig can become an immortal, and at least a golden immortal.

But this Jiang Shang...

For this purpose, Yuanshi also personally communicated with the Heavenly Dao and deduced the result.
If a person cannot overcome the calamity, he cannot practice Taoism!
You can only enjoy the power, wealth and honor of the human world, but have no chance of becoming an immortal.

Only after being deified can one become a god.

"Jiang Shang, how long have you been in Kunlun Mountain?"

Listening to Yuanshi's question, Jiang Shang below said respectfully:

"Reporting to Master, I have been practicing in Kunlun for sixty years, and now I am seventy-three. It's just that I am ignorant, and my practice speed is a little slow, but please rest assured, Master, within a thousand years, I will definitely be able to cultivate to the immortal way and live up to Master's high expectations!"

"Cough cough~"

The crane boy next to him suddenly started to cough dryly. There was a hint of smile in his eyes, but he held back and didn't dare to laugh out loud.

It’s really true that Senior Brother Jiang is too good at talking nonsense.

Still a little slow?
That's very special and extremely slow.

Even with the great training of a saint, he is still at the mortal level for more than sixty years. His talent is so poor.

If you tell this to others, everyone will laugh their heads off.

It's such a disgrace to their Chan sect.

Yuanshi's eyebrows twitched slightly as he listened to Jiang Shang's explanation and assurance, and he was speechless.

"You are destined by heaven. Before your great cause is accomplished, you can only enjoy wealth and power in the world, and have no chance of becoming an immortal. Now that King Cheng Tang is dead, the Zhou Dynasty will rise. You will go down the mountain to confer the title of God, assist the wise ruler, and be conferred the title of a marquis and prime minister. This will not be in vain for your sixty years of cultivation in the mountains. This is also not a place for you to live for a long time. Pack up and go down the mountain as soon as possible. After you are conferred the title of God, you can become a god with the merits bestowed by heaven."

Hearing this,

Jiang Shang immediately showed reluctance on his face, he didn't want that kind of Shinto, his goal was immortality and longevity.

"Master, I sincerely seek immortality and only want to practice asceticism in the mountains. I dare not covet worldly wealth. I hope Master will not drive me down the mountain. I will practice hard to become an immortal!"

Yuanshi shook his head and said:
"You are wrong. Becoming an immortal does not mean you can live forever. If you do not obtain the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, your life span will be limited and you will eventually die. But the way of the gods is different. As long as you can be canonized as a god, you can enjoy immortality."

Hearing this,

Jiang Shang's eyes suddenly flickered, revealing a look of excitement.

When he saw his parents die, he developed a fear of death, and he sought immortality.

right now,

The sage said that the way of immortality does not necessarily lead to longevity, but the way of gods can lead to longevity.

This is exactly what he wants.

"Since this is Master's order, I dare not disobey!"

"Ok!"

Yuanshi nodded, and then handed the List of Gods and a long whip to Jiang Shang:

“This whip is a spiritual treasure of acquired merit that your master refined for you—the Immortal Beating Whip. It can be used by anyone below the Golden Immortal level to beat you, and is for your self-defense.

The other is the treasure of the Conferred Gods - the Conferred God List. You are the one who is destined to be a god. Find the master of destiny, and after becoming the prime minister, you will build a Conferred God Platform in the capital, and offer the Conferred God List on it. When your merits are fulfilled, you will be conferred a god. "

"Disciple, please obey the law!"

Jiang Ziya respectfully took the List of Gods and the Divine Whip.

At this time, Yuanshi spoke again: "When you come down the mountain today, I have eight verses to teach you."

"Please grant it to me, Master."

"For twenty years, I have been in a difficult situation, but I have been patient and at peace. I fished on a rock in Pan Creek, and there was a wise man who visited his son. I assisted the sage king as his father, and I was worshipped as the prime minister and held military power. All the immortals met in Wushen, and I was deified in Jiuba for another four years."

Human race, Chaoge City.

After Jiang Shang came down from Mount Kunlun, he came to the city of Chaoge and took the name Zi Ya.

Because Yuanshi did not tell him who the master was, Jiang Ziya had to find it himself.

He was not too worried about this. After all, the saints said that he was a man of destiny, and he would gain something wherever good fortune came.

Chaoge is a place of great fortune for the human race.

Jiang Ziya felt that the chance might be greater now, so he raised a banner to tell fortunes, intending to find a wise leader by face reading.

however,
More than ten years have passed but nothing has been achieved.

However, because he learned the art of divination from the Chan sect and his predictions were accurate, the fortune-telling stall business was very popular.

just,

When a concubine in the palace came to him for fortune-telling, Jiang Ziya used the divination technique to see her true identity, the Pipa Fairy.

So he used the Immortal Whip to seriously injure the Pipa Fairy.

Just when he was about to kill him, Shen Gongbao suddenly appeared and stopped Jiang Ziya.

but,

Shen Gongbao did not do it himself, but just said that Jiang Ziya had injured the wife of King Zhou of Shang, and asked his soldiers to capture Jiang Ziya and bring him back to the palace to be sentenced to death by King Zhou.

Jiang Ziya was not willing to surrender. He wielded the divine whip and beat the monks brought by Shen Gongbao until they vomited blood and were seriously injured. He then fled from Chaoge in a hurry.

"This is the opponent that Master mentioned in my calamity."

Watching Jiang Ziya escape from Chaoge, Shen Gongbao was somewhat speechless:

"I don't know what Master means. He hasn't even achieved immortality yet. I can kill him with just one finger."

"However, why is his whip so similar to the divine whip that Master gave me, except that it's a bit more powerful? My divine whip is useless against cultivators. Master said that only those whose names are on the Conferred God List can be beaten. But cultivators will only be listed on the Conferred God List after they die. It's useless during this catastrophe."

Shen Gongbao muttered to himself for a while but still couldn't figure it out.

In the end, he simply gave up thinking about it and went straight back to his own Imperial Master's Mansion.

He was here to act this time on orders.

Force Jiang Ziya to leave. Outside Chaoge City.

Having escaped with his life, Jiang Ziya ran westward at full speed, not daring to stop along the way.

Even though he showed his great power and injured many soldiers and generals just now, including some immortal monks, it was all because of the immortal whip in his hand.

If he didn't leave now, he would be in trouble when the black-robed monk who had not taken any action took action.

The aura of the black-robed monk was too terrifying, definitely surpassing that of a Golden Immortal.

His Immortal Whip cannot hit Golden Immortals or immortals above the Golden Immortal level.

Therefore,
Fearing that he would be hunted down, Jiang Ziya fled for several days and nights before he dared to rest for a while. After taking a breath, he headed west again.

As for why I am so persistent in heading west.

Because he had a mysterious feeling that only by going west could he avoid the disaster and still have a chance.

He tried other directions as well, and all of them gave him the same creepy feeling.

And what happened later confirmed this.

In the mountains and forests outside Xiqi City, Jiang Ziya, who had escaped from pursuit, felt that an opportunity was approaching.

He went fishing according to the instructions of Yuanshi, and then met Ji Chang, the King of Xibo.

Finally, he was invited back to Xiqi to serve as a counselor.

When Ji Chang was paying homage to the King of Men the following year, he was reported by the treacherous ministers Fei Zhong and You Hun for his badmouthing of King Zhou. They also said that Ji Chang appeared loyal on the outside but was treacherous on the inside.

Emperor Xin, who had regained his consciousness but was still in disguise, arrested Ji Chang.

Ordered to kill him.

But because of Bigan's plea, he should be executed and imprisoned.

Seven years later, because Jiang Ziya kept asking Xiqi to bribe, Fei Zhong and You Hun finally agreed to intercede for Ji Chang and let him return to Xiqi.

just,

Although Fei Zhong and You Hun pleaded for mercy, they suggested that King Zhou test whether Ji Chang was a mortal saint who could predict the future as the rumors said.

If so, then you must kill him as soon as possible, otherwise he will become a big trouble for the Shang Dynasty.

If not, let him go back to Xiqi.

The method of testing was to kill Bo Yikao, the eldest son of Ji Chang, who came to rescue his father.

Then it was made into meat patties and given to Ji Chang to eat.

To distinguish true from false.

In order to dispel King Zhou's suspicion, Ji Chang had to eat the meat pie despite the extreme heartache.

So,
Ji Chang was released and returned to Xiqi.

Subsequently,

Ji Chang, who was filled with hatred, appointed Jiang Ziya as prime minister and led an army to attack King Zhou.

Jiang Ziya tried to persuade the king and did not raise an army immediately. Instead, he spread all the tyranny and cruelty of King Zhou.

Then secretly contact and annex the major princes.

Only after he accomplished his goal did Ji Chang establish the Great Zhou Dynasty and officially raise his flag to march towards Chaoge to attack the Great Shang Dynasty.

just,

Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya underestimated the Shang Dynasty and were defeated by Grand Tutor Wen Zhong in the first battle. Jiang Ziya was also hit by Wen Zhong's mace and fell unconscious.

Ji Chang was so frightened that he called back his troops and retreated to Xiqi.

However, Wen Zhong strangely did not pursue them, but withdrew his troops instead.

Not long after, news came from Xiqi that Ji Chang had died of illness due to depression.

Xiqi white.

Later, it was reported that Jiang Ziya, as a saint, supported Ji Chang's son Ji Fa to become King of Zhou.

Ji Fa worshipped Jiang Ziya as his father-in-law.

"Father? Heh~"

Huaguoshan.

Qi Tian sneered, then muttered to himself:
"Hongjun has finally officially intervened. Now it will depend on who has more tricks. However, I hope he won't overturn the table so quickly, otherwise it will be dangerous."

Xiqi.

Ji Fa sat high on the throne, looking at Jiang Ziya with joy in his eyes:
"Father, your previous plan has worked. Wucheng King Huang Feihu has rebelled against Chaoge and is heading towards our Xiqi."

Speaking of which,
Worry appeared on his face again: "But now the Great Shang State Master Shen Gongbao is leading his troops to pursue us. It is said that there is an immortal in their army. If Xiqi rescues Huang Feihu, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop the Great Shang army! I wonder if you have any good ideas, father?"

Hearing this,

Jiang Ziya did not show any sign of worry, but stroked his beard and said slowly:
"Don't worry. I have sent a message to my master. Several of my disciples from the Chan School have arrived. The immortals from the Shang Dynasty are no match for them. King Zhou is immoral and unrighteous. I will definitely help the Zhou Dynasty defeat the Shang Dynasty. You are the only one who can be the king of men."

Hearing this,

Jifa immediately showed a look of surprise.

The Chan sect, the great sect of the saints, with such divine help, why would Xiqi worry about not being able to destroy the Shang Dynasty?

Then he bowed deeply to Jiang Ziya and said excitedly:

"Thank you for your help, father!"

Looking at Ji Fa who bowed his head to him, Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed with a strange look, but he smiled and said:
"I am Prime Minister Zhou, so I will do my best. I will go and greet Huang Feihu first."

After saying that, he turned and left.

A million miles away from Xiqi.

Thousands of cavalrymen were fleeing towards Xiqi in a panic, led by none other than Huang Feihu, the King of Wucheng who had rebelled against Chaoge.

And far behind them.

Shen Gongbao rode on a black panther transformed by magic power, leading tens of thousands of troops in a slow pursuit.

Next to the chariot were four Taoists riding majestic and exotic beasts.

The Jiejiao reinforcements officially invited by Shen Gongbao, the Four Saints of Jiulong Island——

Wang Mo, Yang Sen, Gao Youqian and Li Xingba.

"Four senior brothers!"

Shen Gongbao bowed to the four people and said:
"The Xiqi army will surely come to rescue Huang Feihu soon. I heard that Jiang Ziya is from the Chan sect and has asked the Chan sect's three generations of disciples for help. I was careless in my cultivation and was attacked by my inner demon, which greatly reduced my cultivation. I am afraid I am no match for them. I hope that the four brothers will use their great magical powers to help me."

Seeing the chief outer disciple of Mount Huaguo calling them "senior brother" and showing them such respect, the Four Saints of Jiulong Island felt very happy.

The leader of the Four Saints, Wang Mo, slapped his chest and laughed:
"Brother Shen, rest assured. The disciples of the Chan Sect are nothing to be afraid of! We brothers can destroy them with a flick of our hands."

Yang Sen, Gao Youqian and Li Xingba beside him also said arrogantly:
"Brother is right. We are the second generation disciples of Jiejiao. It will be easy for us to deal with a few third generation disciples of Chenjiao!"

"That's right. I will let them taste the power of my Earth-Splitting Pearl later."

"Brother Shen, just wait and see. Then we will capture Jiang Ziya and send him to you."

Shen Gongbao bowed again and thanked him:
"Then I would like to thank the four brothers."

"Hahaha, Brother Shen, you're too polite!"

After half a day,

Shen Gongbao and the Four Saints of Jiulong Island led tens of thousands of Shang soldiers and generals to confront Jiang Ziya's Xiqi army, which had rescued Huang Feihu, on the plain.

Both sides had flags flying and the air was filled with murderous intent.

Li Xingba held the Earth-Splitting Pearl in his hand, drove the strange beast forward, and shouted at Jiang Ziya:

"You are the Jiang Ziya of the Chan Sect, right? Do you dare to fight me? Or are you like the other Chan Sect disciples, a cowardly and shameless villain who bullies the weak and fears the strong?"

"Hahaha~"

Wang Mo and the other two in the back also laughed, their laughter full of contempt.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Ziya's eyes, but he did not take action himself. Instead, he gestured to the person behind him.

Then, a figure with his feet on a ring of fire rushed out from the army behind him.

He rushed towards the laughing Li Xingba with murderous intent:
"Ugly bastard, I'm here to kill you! Look at the gun!"
