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

Chapter 151: The plot unfolds, and Laozi's luck can no longer be suppressed!
Mi Fei's Great Luo Flower bloomed all the way to the ninth grade before it ended, which contained great significance.

At this moment, not only did Mi Fei's fortune and prestige reach their peak, but the fortune of the entire Shang Dynasty also began to rise.

When the flower reaches the ninth grade, it is guaranteed to be at least a mid-stage Quasi-Saint level expert.

In the Three Realms today, a mid-stage Quasi-Saint is already a top-tier deity in one region, standing at the very top of the entire Three Realms.

Now that Mi Fei has directly reached the ninth rank of the Flower Blossom realm, it's only a matter of time before she reaches the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, and she might even reach the late-stage of Quasi-Saint, with a slight chance of achieving the Primordial Chaos realm.

The issue of time is no longer an issue.

Fuxi was also extremely excited: "As expected, she is a ninth-rank official! Mi Fei is indeed a ninth-rank official! I couldn't even have predicted it!"

Nuwa looked at the Mi Fei flower blooming in nine grades and pondered for a moment: "The Mi Fei flower blooms in nine grades. It is obviously lacking after the eighth grade, but it still successfully bloomed into the ninth grade. From this perspective, it is due to cause and effect!"

Fuxi nodded: "Indeed, it is due to cause and effect. The karmic connection between Mi Fei and Zi Yu is too deep. Under this karmic influence, Zi Yu's future is unpredictable, which also brings an opportunity for Mi Fei's flower to bloom. Otherwise, it would be impossible!"

Nuwa was shocked: "The requirement to go from the eighth to the ninth rank is the sum of the first to the eighth ranks. Just because of the karmic bond with Ziyu, Mifei was able to reach the ninth rank. Ziyu's future achievements will also be incredible!"

Fuxi nodded in admiration: "Ziyu has now stepped out of the path of his true self, and it is indeed difficult to predict what the future holds. However, judging from his current appearance, he is already a person of great prestige and great fortune in the Three Realms. As for the great calamity to come, everything is unknown!"

"."

Inside the Jade Void Palace, Guang Chengzi was completely stunned: "Ninth grade! This Mi Fei really did it! Since the Primordial Gods and Demons and the Primordial Saints, no one has ever blossomed to the ninth grade. This Mi Fei is no less than her father. After she blossomed to the eighth grade, she was clearly running out of energy. How could she still successfully blossom to the eighth grade!"

The members of the Chan Sect were all shocked and stunned.

Chi Jingzi's expression was solemn: "Senior Brother Guangcheng, Mi Fei has successfully blossomed into the ninth rank by taking advantage of this opportunity. What should we do? In the future, I dare not say that she can enter the late stage of Quasi-Saint, but at least the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint is no problem. If she can achieve this, in the entire Three Realms, she will be equivalent to those ancient great supernatural beings! In the next great calamity, the Yin Shang will probably be too powerful to deal with!"

"Senior Brother Guangcheng, if this Xindao meeting with Yang Zhu continues, I fear it might cause the human race to lose control. What should we do?"

After listening, Guang Chengzi pondered for a moment and immediately said, "I will go and ask my teacher for a solution!"

"."

Soon, Guang Chengzi immediately sought out Yuanshi Tianzun. Yuanshi Tianzun, of course, knew about the affairs of the Three Realms, and asked Laozi for advice on how to deal with them.

"Brother, it's one thing for the Mi Fei Flower to bloom into a ninth-grade flower, but what worries me is that this time, the Heavenly Dao has bestowed its fortune, but the Yin Shang and Cheng Tang factions have gained a great deal of fortune, as have the West. The Confucianism I support is unable to contend with these three schools. If the Confucianism cannot become the one with the greatest fortune, then the people are in danger of losing control. Compared to the Confucianism and the Mohist school, the Jie Sect's self-serving path is quite in line with the hearts of the people. Once the people accept these two schools, the Confucianism will become like the Zhou rites. If that happens, then our plan for the Investiture of the Gods will completely collapse. If that happens, what should we do?"

Lao Tzu naturally understood the danger involved after hearing this.

"This Bigan is truly cunning, using this to force me to take action. If I don't, the order will collapse. If I do take action, then a new force must emerge to eliminate these two sects. It seems that Bigan is trying to get me to borrow the fortune of the Heavenly Dao. The more prosperous these two sects are now, the more great fortune we need to bring forth to make a new force emerge."

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Celestial Venerable's expression turned solemn: "So, this child truly intends to seize great fortune and attain enlightenment? Currently, the fortune of the Three Realms has barely reached the level of Hunyuan, and this child plans to have the fortune suppressed by his elder brother's Taiji Diagram be taken out!"

Laozi nodded: "The path to enlightenment through great fortune is a method bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, from the ancient times of Rahu to the ancient Emperor Jun and Taiyi, there would have been no great calamity for this. This is the bait for the Heavenly Dao to launch the great calamity! This Bi Gan is far from the Primordial Chaos, but he must have great fortune to attain enlightenment. If he cannot benefit all living beings, he can only seek the fortune of the Heavenly Dao. This time, the Heavenly Dao's literary fortune has also given this boy an opportunity. It is reasonable for this boy to seize this opportunity and seek his own path. There is no need to doubt his vision for opportunities!"

Since Yin Ziyu's "Two Fruits Kill Three Warriors" and "Golden Knife Scheme," no one in the Three Realms has ever doubted Yin Ziyu's judgment.

Now, the opportunity presented by the Heavenly Dao's literary fortune has brought Yin Ziyu the chance to suppress the destiny with the Supreme Sword.
Yuanshi Tianzun then asked Laozi, "Elder brother, do you really intend to offer up this fortune?"

Laozi looked at Yuanshi and asked, "Second brother, would you dare to use your own destiny to bring forth the person destined to be born?"

Yuanshi Tianzun fell silent upon hearing this.

How can you risk your own fortune? Once it's gone, it will be too late to regret it.

Lao Tzu then said, "This is the general trend of Heaven. Suppressing destiny to allow the destined one to be born is perfectly reasonable, and Heaven naturally approves of it!"

"That's excellent. Now that the Way of Law has emerged, several masters of the Way of Law will emerge to govern the people with law, and a ruler will emerge to unify the feudal lords. When one person appears, he can eliminate the threat of the Mind Sect and the Yang Sect to Confucianism. What do you think, elder brother?"

Lao Tzu nodded in agreement: "Agreed!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable then said, "Now that my elder brother has converted the barbarians to the west, once the conversion is complete, the great cause can be accomplished!"

Once these steps are successfully completed, the West will also belong to the Human Teachings and the Chan Teachings, all the people in the East will be under control, and the fortune of the Three Realms will be basically in our hands. At that time, destroying the Yin Shang and the Jie Teachings in one fell swoop will be an easy task!
At this time, people from all three realms naturally discussed this extensively.

"A flower with nine grades of bloom, it hasn't been like this for many years!"

"Indeed, it has been many years since we've seen such a thing. According to this, the only people in the primordial world who have recently achieved the ninth rank of the flower are Emperor Jun and Taiyi. The two saints, Fuxi and Nuwa, never imagined that Mi Fei would be no less than her father. Now that her laws are perfected, she is the greatest among the Great Luo Golden Immortals. Currently, both the Luo River and the Yin Shang Dynasty are not lacking in fortune. Mi Fei will enjoy the fortune of both sides, and it is inevitable that she will reach the mid-stage or even late-stage Quasi-Saint realm!"

"Ninth-Rank Great Luo, perfect in laws, in harmony with the Great Dao, his future is limitless!"

"."

There are huge differences between the Great Luo realms. Those who reach the second or third rank of Great Luo can never break through in their lifetime, while those who reach the ninth rank of Great Luo and the Great Perfection of Quasi-Saint are already destined to succeed.

This is truly awe-inspiring potential.

Moreover, with great fortune and accumulated merit, the possibility of a violent death is virtually eliminated.

This means that without the intervention of a sage, it would be difficult for external forces to interfere with the fate of Consort Mi.

After the Mi Fei Flower reached the ninth grade, she instructed her three thousand disciples to continue spreading the teachings, while she herself returned directly to Chaoge.

"Thank you, Ziyu, for helping Consort Mi achieve the ninth-grade blossom!"

Yin Ziyu looked at Mi Fei with a detached air, which was due to his improved realm and the resulting improvement in his state of mind.

"The Mi Fei Flower blooms with nine grades, its power shaking the Three Realms. I imagine Emperor Fuxi and Goddess Nuwa must be overjoyed. This matter of spreading the Dao, dividing the world into four parts, is already an endless fortune. For now, let's leave it at that for the time being!"

Although not all of the Heavenly Fortune has descended this time, a quarter of it is already quite remarkable.

It's even more incredible that Yin Ziyu and Mi Fei both enjoy this quarter of the fortune at the same time.

With immense fortune bestowed upon him, Yin Ziyu was able to integrate countless laws within himself, making it easy for him to comprehend the Great Dao.

"Ziyu, what should we do now?" Mi Fei immediately asked Yin Ziyu about his grand plan.

"This time, the Xin Sect and the Yang Sect have four emperors, which means that the Zhou rites of Confucianism can no longer govern the people and are in danger of getting out of control. Heaven may not be able to tolerate this. However, no matter what, we should continue to allow the two sects to grow, forcing them to use their great fortune to suppress the Xin Sect and the Yang Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Mi Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, does this mean we are condoning their suppression?"

Yin Ziyu said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Mi Fei, you must not take these things too seriously. Do not focus on gains and losses in the short term! There is a huge amount of fortune in the Heavenly Court. Since the two sects are so powerful, there will naturally be someone who will emerge to suppress them! Ordinary fortune controllers cannot suppress them. Only a huge amount of fortune can make them suppress them. Now that the Heart Sect and the Yang Sect have divided the world, the Supreme One will definitely take action!"

Upon hearing this, Mi Fei nodded, instantly understanding what Yin Ziyu wanted.

Upon hearing this, Mi Fei couldn't help but sigh, "Zi Yu is absolutely right. Even if we are defeated this time, it is still a chance for life for all living beings!"

Yin Ziyu looked toward Hangu Pass, where Duobao was currently leading the ox.

Just as the two were about to cross Hangu Pass, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the world: purple clouds in the east surged and rolled like a long river, spreading out for 30,000 miles.

When the gatekeeper of Hangu Pass saw this, he was greatly surprised. This gatekeeper had rather long eyebrows. Although he was a mortal, he could sense qi. Upon seeing such a magnificent purple aura, he immediately knew that a sage had descended to earth. He immediately set up an incense table in front of the pass to welcome him.

Soon after, the purple mist gradually dissipated, and a green ox stepped out, its horns radiating a divine light resembling the Tai Chi symbol, seemingly containing endless secrets of heaven.

An elderly man with white hair sat on the back of an ox, dressed in a simple gray robe with yin-yang fish patterns that appeared and disappeared on the hem. Each flash seemed to affect the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Daoist Duobao stood with his head bowed to one side of the green ox, his burly figure exuding a respectful demeanor as he carefully held the reins, like a junior serving an elder.

Guan Yinxi saw this scene from afar, his breath caught in his throat, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.

The soldiers couldn't tell who the old man was, but Guan Yin, who was skilled in aura control, immediately knew that it was a sage who had arrived.

Guan Yin's eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and he staggered forward, falling heavily to his knees with a thud, his forehead pressed against the ground, his voice filled with awe and excitement.

"A sage has descended to earth! Please accept my bow, sage!"

Li Er said calmly, "I am not a saint!"

Guan Yin quickly explained that he was proficient in the art of observing qi, and seeing the purple qi coming from the east, vast and boundless, he must be a sage!
Of course, this was because Li Er knew he had a connection with this person, so he deliberately showed it; otherwise, Guan Yin wouldn't have been able to tell.

In the eyes of a sage, there are no coincidences, only destiny. Even the trajectory of Guan Yi's life, which ultimately led him to meet Laozi here, was all predetermined.

When an official with great power travels, everyone he encounters along the way is arranged for him. How much more so for a sage? Even though the Three Realms have undergone tremendous changes because of Yin Ziyu, those who are destined to be with Laozi after the Great Tribulation were already predetermined tens of thousands of years ago.

Because Li Er preached the Dao but did not accept disciples, those who were to inherit the lineage of this incarnation in the mortal realm were required.

When the strategy of pacifying the barbarians was decided, the position of the gatekeeper of Hangu Pass was also determined.

Only in this way could one person, skilled in observing qi, go through countless reincarnations and finally reach Hangu Pass.

Upon seeing Guan Yin, Li Er nodded and said, "You are destined to be with me. I bestow upon you the name Changmei!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yin was overjoyed. When he looked up, he saw that the purple aura surrounding Li Er had transformed into thousands of dazzling phantom images of Daoist scriptures!
"Since you seek the Way, I will give it to you. This is the Daoist Scripture and the Virtue Scripture, which I now bestow upon you. Cultivate them diligently and follow me on my journey westward!"

As Li Er finished speaking, a scroll of bamboo slips slowly floated out from his sleeve. The ink was not yet dry, but the innate Daoist script had already emerged.

"Thank you, Sage."

Duobao looked at the person in front of him with jealousy.

Originally, there was only one person in the Human Sect, Xuandu, and I was not accepted into the Human Sect. But the person in front of me has risen to the top in one step. His future is limitless.

The next moment, Duobao gently patted the green ox, which raised its head and bellowed loudly, its voice shaking the heavens. The clouds and mist beneath its feet surged and condensed into cloud steps that reached straight to the sky.

Guan Yin then became Laozi's follower and traveled west with him!
The blue ox carried the old man Li Er in purple mist, slowly heading west. Wherever it passed, the twenty-eight constellations shifted their trajectories, and the western sky shone with golden light, as if welcoming the arrival of this sage.

Li Er headed westward, heading straight for Xiniu Hezhou, while a vast expanse of purple energy rolled in behind him.

At this moment, both Jieyin and Zhunti were extremely uneasy.

At the summit of the snow-capped mountains of Tianzhu Kingdom in Xiniu Hezhou, a chaotic purple aura lingered.

Li Er lightly raised his sleeve, and the Vajra Bracelet, carrying immeasurable pressure, burst forth like a blazing sun, instantly enveloping Daoist Duobao within it.

“Duobao, your path to enlightenment has now been fully realized, and now is your opportune moment.”

Li Er's voice was deep and devoid of any emotion.

The Vajra Bracelet suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and the primordial spirit of Daoist Duobao was forcibly extracted from his physical body and sent into reincarnation.

Duobao's body disintegrated inch by inch in the golden light, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating into the world, with only his primordial spirit entering the cycle of reincarnation.

Inside the royal palace of India, the cry of a baby broke the silence of the night.

The queen gave birth to a baby boy. When the baby was born, the sky above the palace was filled with a radiant glow and a wonderful fragrance that permeated the air for miles. Auspicious seven-colored clouds appeared in the sky, and mythical beasts cried out in unison.

Eighteen years later, the reincarnation of Duobao, now a young man, meditated under the Bodhi tree.

Li Er appeared quietly, his golden bracelet emitting a soft light, and gently touched the young man's brow.

In an instant, the youth's memories surged like a tide, his past and present lives intertwined in his mind, and the Great Dao merged with his primordial spirit.

"From this day forward, there will be no more treasures in the world, only Shakyamuni Buddha."

Li Er's voice echoed between heaven and earth: "You should embrace compassion, save all sentient beings, and propagate the Dharma."

The young man opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright. He formed a mudra with his hands, and his body radiated countless rays of Buddhist light.
