Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 136 The Scheme of Alliance: The Great Gods Take Sides!

At this moment, the Antarctic Immortal's face turned green. Originally, when the Primordial Celestial Venerable withdrew from the prehistoric world, he gave himself two choices.

One goes to the Heavenly Court, is destined to be associated with the South, and becomes the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, ruling the Heavenly Court. The other comes to the East Sea, controlling the three islands and ten continents of the East Sea, forming a diagonal position with Kunlun in the West.

They also devised a plan to wipe out the remnants of the Jie Sect.

And they have come up with various countermeasures.

However, none of their countermeasures were effective, and the Chan Sect was brought to disintegration and became a laughing stock in the prehistoric world by a single willow branch.

The reason I chose to come to the East Sea to take charge of it was because the East Sea held great potential, and Penglai was also a place I was destined to visit, the place where I would prove my Dao.

Going to the Heavenly Court is certainly safe, but it's difficult to achieve great things there. If you come to the East Sea, you can take full control of its spiritual energy, fortune, and the spiritual veins of the Three Mountains and Ten Continents, which will be of endless benefit.

Everything was going well, and the Jie Sect members didn't dare to come and compete for it. The entire East Sea became their place of enlightenment.

However, he then realized that he had been overthinking things. The fortune of the entire Penglai Island was in chaos because of this incident, and the fortune that had just been gathered was beginning to dissipate.

All the arriving rogue cultivators, faced with this dissipating fortune, were filled with greed.

A powerful force must always remain strong; if it weakens even slightly, other lurking observers will tear it apart like a pack of wolves.

This plan has suffered such a huge blunder that four of the disciples chose to betray the sect by physically disintegrating and their souls entering the cycle of reincarnation during the grand gathering. This is a disgrace and a huge mistake for the Chan Sect.

Faced with the discussions initiated by the Styx River and the talk from various independent cultivators, the Antarctic Immortal knew that he would not be able to suppress these people this time.

At this moment, after this boundless fortune gathered, a portion of it headed straight for Yin Ziyu.

The surging fortune transformed in an instant into a mythical bird of fortune, soaring towards the sky and crying out.

After reading it, the Golden Spirit Mother exclaimed in shock, "Such immense fortune! This scheme has truly made Ziyu famous throughout the Three Realms, and no one will dare to underestimate him anymore. With such immense fortune, who in the Three Realms can match him!"

Although Yin Ziyu was pleased with this, he was not overly excited. After receiving this immense fortune, Yin Ziyu suppressed it with the Holy Banner of Merit.

Yin Ziyu is now a person of great prestige and fortune in the primordial world, and he possesses great merit. Even a sage cannot easily deduce everything about Yin Ziyu.

While a sage may be omniscient and omnipotent, knowing the fate of a person who is not a sage, he does not know everyone.

The fate of the great forces is unpredictable, and those who influence the primordial order of the world are unpredictable!

Just as the Six Sages were unable to predict the fate of Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were not Sages, this was because they were the ones with great destiny in the primordial world.

Only those whose fortune is not great and who do not possess supreme treasures or top-grade innate spiritual treasures can have their entire destiny predicted. Once they have great fortune, their actions will be like those of the primordial era, which cannot be predicted.

Furthermore, we are now in the primordial era without saints. When there are no saints in the primordial era, the evolution of the great calamities in the primordial era will no longer be determined by saints. Although saints can influence the three realms through their disciples, the general trend is no longer entirely in the hands of saints.

However, those with great destiny, like Yin Ziyu, who can influence the primordial world, cannot be predicted.

With just one scheme, he caused the Chan Sect to fall apart, which was enough to shake the course of the primordial world, not to mention his illustrious reputation in the Investiture of the Gods.

The shipwreck plan simply wasn't exposed in the prehistoric world. If it had been exposed, it would have shocked the Three Realms, bringing both good and bad reputation. However, since Yin Ziyu didn't mention it, it wouldn't have spread throughout the Three Realms.

This act of shattering the primordial chaos could only have been done out of anger.

Since the entire Chan Sect has been torn apart, we must maximize the gains.

Yin Ziyu's Sixty-Year Sacred Banner fluttered in the wind, and his golden aura transformed into the cry of a black bird, carrying the might of great fortune straight towards Penglai.

Yin Ziyu is now fearless. In the primordial world, there are no saints, and those with great fortune cannot be killed. Those with great fortune possess incredible abilities to turn misfortune into good fortune, and forcibly killing someone with great fortune will incur great karmic consequences.

Luck is a mysterious thing. For example, some people have strong luck and may not die even if they fall from a 20-story building, while others with heavy karma may drown in a basin.

With such immense fortune, it would be extremely difficult to kill someone with great fortune!

To kill someone, you must first destroy their luck.

The Cloud Fairy stood atop the Primordial Golden Cauldron, her precious light soaring into the sky. The pressure of the Primordial Golden Immortal was known throughout the entire East Sea.

Golden Spirit Mother sat regally in the Seven Fragrances Chariot, the Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi in her hand bursting with myriad rays of light, exuding the supreme majesty of the leader of the Intercepting Sect. Wudang Mother and Guiling Mother stood on either side, with Qiongxiao and Bixiao following closely behind, as they marched in a grand procession toward Penglai Island.

Meanwhile, on Penglai Island, these wandering immortals did not leave. Since they were on the island and had been invited, they could not leave easily, which could be described as wanting to stir up trouble.

Why can't we leave?

If they don't leave, the Chan Sect will be in a difficult position; if they don't leave, the protective formation of Penglai Island cannot be activated; if they don't leave, they will give the Jie Sect an opportunity.

Just as Yin Ziyu had predicted, these people were not content to remain idle after the sages left the prehistoric world.

After the Six Saints attained sainthood, the Witch and Demon races initially provided some resistance. However, after the Witch and Demon races withdrew from the prehistoric world, they were all suppressed and lost their prestige.

Everything in the primordial world seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Now that the sage has departed, these people are no longer content with their seclusion, and their yearning for the Great Dao has been rekindled.

These people were gossiping and gloating on Penglai Island, but they just wouldn't leave.

This made the Antarctic Immortal and the Chan Sect members very anxious. If they did not leave, Penglai would be in danger, and if Penglai were lost, the entire East China Sea strategy would fail completely!
"What? The East Sea is the territory of our Jie Sect. Our Jie Sect is not yet extinct, and you've already come to seize it?"

Before the Golden Spirit Mother even arrived, her voice was like thunder, and she arrived in Penglai ahead of everyone else.

Wherever the words of the Golden Spirit Mother passed, the immortal island trembled, and large sections of the glazed tiles of the Divine Firmament Jade Palace collapsed.

The many independent cultivators were filled with excitement; the great battle of the East Sea had finally begun.

In the blink of an eye, Yin Ziyu and the others from the Jie Sect had arrived at the island.

Looking at the plaque of Penglai Island, the Golden Spirit Mother lightly waved the Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi, and a dazzling light pierced the sky, heading straight for the plaque of the Divine Firmament Jade Palace.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Divine Firmament Jade Palace signboard, imbued with the majesty of the Heavenly Court, shattered into pieces. The fragments plummeted into the East Sea like meteors, creating towering waves. Unable to pursue the chasm into reincarnation, Guang Chengzi immediately returned to Penglai Island from the Netherworld.

Seeing the plaque of the Divine Firmament Jade Palace shatter, Guang Chengzi roared and the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner soared into the sky, transforming into a barrier of ten thousand golden lights. The Primordial Wuji Origin Great Dao flowed on the banner, giving him a defensive measure!
The next moment, the Heaven-Turning Seal in his hand instantly displayed the divine power of a supreme acquired treasure, transforming into the majestic Mount Buzhou in an instant. The mountain was wrapped with endless laws of the Great Dao, soaring straight into the sky and causing the earth veins of Penglai Island to tremble!

"How dare you come here!"

The Buzhou Mountain, transformed from Guang Chengzi's Fantian Seal, possessed earth-shattering power and instantly locked onto Jinling Shengmu and her companions.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit sneered, sitting steadily in the Seven Fragrances Chariot, the Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi bursting forth with myriad rays of light.

"Since you dare to seize my sect's immortal island, let's see if you have the ability to do so!"

Before the Golden Spirit Mother finished speaking, Qiongxiao and Bixiao behind her simultaneously unleashed their Golden Dragon Scissors, while Fairy Yunxiao unleashed her Hunyuan Golden Bucket, distorting space into a vortex.

The Holy Mother of Wudang and the Holy Mother of Guiling also unleashed their magical treasures, and the members of the Jie Sect formed a battle formation. Thousands of rays of light shot into the sky, and the great battle in the East Sea was about to begin.

At this moment, Guang Chengzi looked at the people in front of him and then turned his gaze toward the Tushita Palace in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Supreme Lord is the most important trump card left in the Three Realms by the Human Sect and the Chan Sect. Although it is only an avatar of a saint, it has a cultivation level that is infinitely close to that of a saint. It has the strength to crush everyone in front of it. At that time, the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner can be handed over to the Supreme Lord Laozi.

Once the war begins, they can kill indiscriminately, even those powerful rogue cultivators.

Since the sages were to withdraw from the primordial world, they must have left behind a sufficient foundation of military strength in order to maintain a stable and basic grasp of destiny.

Otherwise, how could Laozi and Yuanshi have left with peace of mind?

Yin Ziyu naturally understood this principle and immediately looked at the Golden Spirit Mother.

The current situation is delicate. If a major war breaks out, it will inevitably lead to the complete exposure of the trump cards of the Human Sect and the Chan Sect. These rogue cultivators are all here, and their support for the Jie Sect is mainly due to the Jie Sect's weak position.

Regardless, Yin Ziyu and his group, along with the Chan Sect and others, possess immense fortune. If both sides suffer heavy losses, these people will inevitably benefit.

After a little thought, Yin Ziyu could tell what cards the opponent had up their sleeve. Laozi, Amitabha, Subhuti, Xuandu, and Guangchengzi were all present, making it a situation where his side was bound to lose.

Even though this divisive tactic has created a rift between the West and the Humanist and Chan sects, they are still of one mind with those who want to exterminate them.

It's safe to say they have absolutely no chance of winning!

The only way to win them over is to offer them benefits, and to ensure that they cannot tolerate the oppression of the post-saint order era. Only then can they unite and work together, thus creating a fighting force.

After all, this is the property of the Jie Sect, and the decision rests with the Holy Mother Jinling.

The Golden Spirit Mother, resolute and decisive, naturally understood that at this time, she absolutely could not stand alone against the order of the post-saint era!

This wave must destroy all of the Chan Sect's arrangements. This will make us famous throughout the Three Realms, while the Ten Continents will be insignificant!
The Holy Mother Jinling immediately looked at the assembled deities and said, “The Three Mountains and Ten Continents of the East Sea originally belonged to the Jie Sect. Although the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect are no longer here, the Jie Sect is not dead. There are still two Hunyuan Golden Immortals and five Daluo Golden Immortals. I am not a selfish person and do not wish to occupy the vast East Sea with a sect of only seven people. Now that all of you fellow Daoists are in the East Sea, I, in the name of the Jie Sect Leader, will bestow the land of the Ten Continents upon you as your Daoist temples. Our Jie Sect is now small in number, and only the Three Mountains need to be retained. What do you fellow Daoists think?”

The words of the Golden Spirit Mother resounded throughout the entire East Sea, immediately causing an uproar among everyone present.

Guang Chengzi invited all cultivators of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level and above from the Three Realms to the East Sea as a show of force, to tell everyone that from now on, the Chan Sect will occupy the entire East Sea!
On behalf of the leader of the Jie Sect, the Golden Spirit Mother has promised that the land of the Ten Continents can be shared with everyone present.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. The Jie Sect was using a place they could no longer control as a bargaining chip, and everyone understood their intentions.

However, given the current situation, the Chan Sect's influence has waned due to the four's defection, which presents a golden opportunity and benefits everyone.

Therefore, we must accept this benefit.

Immediately, Styx and the others secretly discussed the matter, and a decision was made in an instant.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must be seized. Although the Supreme Lord is still in the Heavenly Court, he absolutely cannot use this opportunity to subdue the Three Realms.

The words of the Golden Spirit Mother immediately caused all the rogue cultivators, including the Great Luo Golden Immortals, to exclaim in surprise. Although it seemed like she was trying to get everyone involved, she was really sharing the benefits.

Styx laughed loudly first: "These three mountains are indeed the land of the Jie Sect, as everyone knows, and I naturally acknowledge that. Antarctica, however, is not the land of the Chan Sect, so leave immediately!"

After Styx finished speaking, he truly revealed his Karmic Fire Red Lotus and Avici Yuan Tu. In an instant, the endless sea of ​​blood seemed to overturn, and the Blood Sea Formation was about to be activated!
For the Styx River, obtaining a continent in the East Sea would be a tremendous opportunity for the Asura Realm, allowing them to truly establish themselves in the primordial world.

At this moment, Kunpeng revealed his Hetu Luoshu and said, "That's right, these Three Mountains and Ten Continents are indeed the land of the Jie Sect, a fact known to all throughout countless eons! They are not the land of the Chan Sect. As for the South Pole, your claim to rule the East Sea is a bit excessive!"

Kunpeng, on the other hand, is located in the North Sea. If he were to acquire a continent in the East Sea, it would be equivalent to connecting the East Sea and the North Sea into one line, which would be a huge boost for the Northern Darkness Demon Clan.

In an instant, all the independent cultivators from various factions spoke up, saying that it indeed belonged to the Jie Sect. In a flash, the Chan Sect was subjected to verbal and written attacks!
Faced with this scene, Guang Chengzi's expression changed drastically. If all these people joined the attack, the Chan Sect and the Ren Sect would be utterly unable to withstand it.

The Blood Sea Formation, the Primordial River Luo Formation, and the Primordial Five Elements Formation—even if the world today cannot set up a Primordial level formation, these formations would still be quite embarrassing to set up.

"If you fellow Daoists remain neutral, then I promise to grant you the lands of the Ten Continents, how about that?"

Guang Chengzi pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone and asked.

Yin Ziyu looked at Guang Chengzi as if he were a fool: "Do you think that what was given away was only the land of the Ten Continents? Don't treat the many great gods like fools!"

These powerful rogue cultivators were not buying it at the moment, because if they were sent out of the Ten Continents, and Yin Ziyu and his group were defeated and killed, they would inevitably be bound by karma because of this incident, and they would not be able to protect it at all. It was obviously impossible for them to maintain the order of the post-saint era for the Chan Sect.

If the Chan Sect wouldn't even share its own fortune with its own disciples, would it really share it with outsiders?

Randeng was of the same generation as everyone else, but now he's a laughingstock in the Chan Sect, having not even reached the level of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

It can be said that since the Investiture of the Gods, the reputation of the Chan Sect has been like that of Sima Yi – completely distrusted.

The entire Three Realms collapsed so quickly that Yin Ziyu's actions were also unexpected.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun, who had just moved to Chaos, was dumbfounded. He was so angry that his face turned ashen. The four people who had been tricked by Yin Ziyu had betrayed the sect, and with these Zixiao guests no longer submitting, the situation in the Three Realms immediately spiraled out of control after the sage had just left.

As for the four people's defection to the West, Yuanshi Tianzun naturally knew that the two Westerners must have some ulterior motives.

Putting Yin Ziyu's plans aside for now, we must find out the truth about these two Westerners who betrayed us.

Yuanshi Tianzun immediately looked westward and angrily said, "Fellow Daoists, do you not intend to give this humble Daoist an explanation?"
