Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 805 Jinji Ridge

Jiang Ziya was King Zhou's junior minister. Once a minister, always a minister. Queen Jiang was King Zhou's queen. Although she was formally deposed, she and King Zhou were still husband and wife in the Shang Dynasty temple. The ancestors did not know that they were divorced and did not agree to it. So, according to etiquette and law, there was a relationship between Queen Jiang and Jiang Ziya as king and minister.

After knowing this, Lao Jiang became a disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and is now a direct descendant of the Jiejiao sect.

After exchanging greetings, he spoke first, blocking the other person's words: "Fellow Daoist, you have joined the Jiejiao sect and should be cultivating the Great Dao, chanting the Huangting, and seeking immortality. Why do you still want to come to the mortal world and get involved in these filth? Listen to me, the rise of Zhou and the destruction of Shang is God's will. Fellow Daoist, you should return to the mountain as soon as possible."

Queen Jiang's expression was mournful. "Is it truly unstoppable? After six hundred years of rule, the Shang Dynasty is about to fall at your hands? Is this truly Heaven's will?"

Jiang Ziya lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Both sides were silent for more than ten breaths, and Queen Jiang half-bowed to him: "I understand. When you achieve your goal, please preserve some of the Yin and Shang bloodline so that our ancestors will not be deprived of blood and food. Is that okay?"

These days, people don't care about eradicating the roots. Even if a country is destroyed, the nobles are still nobles. After turning their family into a country, they can still turn the country into their family. Even if the country is destroyed, they can still own a large fiefdom, and the four seasons of sacrifice will not be affected.

Jiang Ziya solemnly agreed: "Yes."

Queen Jiang left on a cloud, and Old Jiang rode on a Sibu Xiang and continued to lead the army to the east.

Soon, the army entered Shouyang Mountain.

This mountain is the Shouyang Mountain of the Taiqing Saint, but the Bajing Palace, the Taoist temple of the Taiqing Saint, is in the deepest part of the mountain, where mortals cannot set foot at all.

The Xuanyuan Sword of Emperor Huangdi was also made of copper from Shouyang.

The remaining heads of Xingtian and Kanghui are all at the foot of Shouyang Mountain.

Less than two days after the Zhou army entered the mountains, they encountered people blocking their way again.

The renowned sages Boyi and Shuqi urged Old Jiang to return to the capital. According to them, the king had lost his virtue, and you should have advised him earnestly. If he refused to listen, you should have urged him vigorously. How could you use a minister to attack the king? I am a well-read old man. Listen to me. You should return home immediately!
Lao Jiang didn't treat them as politely as he treated Queen Jiang. He waved his hand and threw the fork out!

The Zhou army crossed Shouyang Mountain and arrived at Jinji Ridge.

At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was outside the thirty-three heavens, was touched. Although Jiang Ziya was specially "commissioned" to help Haotian become a god, the fate of the Chan sect was ultimately implicated.

At this time, the Jade Purity Sage counted with his fingers and couldn't help but frown. According to the destiny he originally gave to Jiang Ziya, there should be thirty-six armies attacking Xiqi at this time. Only after all of them are resolved can they officially march eastward.

What about now? Counting back and forth, there were only seventeen tribulations, less than half. If the Conferred God Ceremony was successfully completed, Yuanshi Tianzun would be humiliated. But he couldn't let Jiang Ziya return home on the spot. There was no reason for that.

On one side is the face of the thirty-six armies, and on the other side is the face of prospering Zhou and destroying Shang. It’s so difficult. What should I do?

"Alas, here comes another difficulty."

He felt that eighteen tribulations would be enough.

As soon as he had the idea, the Immortal of the South Pole who was accompanying him quickly brought him a gourd.

To be honest, Nanji Xianweng is not as perceptive as Baihe Tongzi. His reaction is a bit slow and seems a bit too deliberate.
Yuanshi Tianzun opened the gourd and said to the inside, "Go and add another calamity to Jiang Ziya, and come back to my school one day."

A golden glow flashed twice, and an exceptionally pure aura suddenly erupted. Amidst the auspicious clouds, a figure seemingly extremely noble and elegant nodded gently to Yuanshi Tianzun. After performing the formalities, it flew towards the lower realms. A giant golden bird descended from the sky and landed on Jinji Ridge.

Jiang Ziya ordered Yang Jian to fight, but within three rounds, Yang Jian retreated in defeat. No, he was completely defeated! This golden bird possessed the combat power of a quasi-saint, but it lacked a strong murderous aura. If it had any murderous intent, Yang Jian might not have returned alive.

Take a detour? How could an army of 600,000 take a detour? If they did, their logistics would collapse. Now they are relying on the Han State for financial support and the whole country is borrowing money to fight the war. If they take another detour, then they should just kneel down and surrender.

Fight! This golden bird must be defeated.

Jiang Ziya issued an order and his generals took turns to go into battle.

Lei Zhenzi was captured, the two immortals Hehe were captured, Wu Ji and Nangong Shi were captured, Huang Long Zhenren passed by and was captured, Lingbao Great Wizard and his good friend Du'e Zhenren were out traveling and wanted to go around them from a distance, but they were spotted by a big golden bird with very good eyesight, which flew over and captured them all with one move each.

Jiang Ziya was helpless and could only continue to carry forward the fine traditions of the Chan sect and mobilize people.

He came to Taihua Mountain of Chi Jingzi and walked into the "Yunxiao Cave" whose name Deng Chanyu always felt was awkward, and asked for help from the five great immortals there.

"What? A giant golden bird? It exudes an auspicious aura? Master Ziya, you're not seeing things, are you?" Deng Chanyu found it incredible. How could it be possible? Where did it come from?
Jiang Ziya quickly assured that he was not mistaken. It was an extremely huge golden bird. The other party occupied Jinji Ridge, did not move, did not kill anyone, and just stayed there.

The Zhou Kingdom can no longer afford to waste time, as the amount of food and grass consumed every day is astronomical.

Deng Chanyu calculated for a moment with her fingers.

Was it Yuan Feng's eldest son, Jin Feng? However, Jin Feng's former corpse transformed into a cave world and landed in Qufu. Along with the auspicious aura that belonged to Jin Feng, she had sent it back to the Undying Volcano. So where did this current Jin Feng come from?

Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang all frowned and looked as if they were thinking. Deng Chanyu noticed from the corner of her eye that Chi Jingzi's thoughts seemed to be different from normal ones, so she asked.

"Could it be that Senior Brother knows the origin of this golden bird?"

"I don't know, I don't know! I don't know either." Chi Jingzi shook his head quickly.

After all, he had a good relationship with Yuanshi Tianzun, so as soon as he heard Jiang Ziya speak, he knew what was going on.

After the great catastrophe of the dragon and phoenix in the past, Yuanshi Tianzun found the remaining soul of the golden phoenix in a secret cave, and then collected it specially.

He had originally been planning to refine the weapon, but later Nuwa rescued Yuan Feng at Luofengpo. The Phoenix clan was not completely destroyed, and their luck was still there, so he never mentioned the matter of refining the weapon again.

The one at Jinji Ridge now is most likely the Golden Phoenix Soul released by Yuanshi Tianzun.

Jiang Ziya waited pitifully for them to make a decision, and Deng Chanyu and the others looked at each other.

"Go together, go together!"

"Okay, let's go together."

Jiang Ziya was delighted to have summoned five powerful warriors at once! Manjusri and Samantabhadra were a bit weaker now, but Cihang, Deng Chanyu, and Chi Jingzi were all capable fighters. Destroying that giant golden bird shouldn't be a problem, right?
