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

Chapter 24: Hundred Days Arrival!
When Ji Chang heard this, he was lost in thought and couldn't help muttering to himself!

"Xian..."

Ji Chang spoke in a low voice, as if he was chewing over the weight of this word in his heart.

Seeing this, the Immortal of the South Pole's gaze burned brightly, his expression solemn. He spoke slowly, "This word 'virtuous', Duke Xibo, must, from now on, remain unwavering in your resolve until the day you ascend to immortality. First, you will be a virtuous minister of the Shang Dynasty, faithfully fulfilling your duties and assisting the court. Then, you will be a virtuous ruler of Xiqi, implementing benevolent policies, caring for the people, and promoting education. When your merits and deeds are complete and you create the sixty-four hexagrams, you will be recognized as a sage. This will surely garner Xiqi immense prestige and win the hearts of all quarters. Once you achieve this, your merits and virtues will be complete, and you can ascend to immortality!"

After a brief pause, the Immortal Nanji's expression froze, and he continued, "Furthermore, sacrifice your son Bo Yikao. Let him shock the world and win justice for Xiqi. After Bo Yikao's death, when the gods are canonized, let him become the Ziwei Emperor, allowing him to ascend from the mortal realm to the immortal realm and attain the throne of the Supreme Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Master, how should we arrange for Bo Yikao's affairs?"

Bo Yikao was Ji Chang's eldest son and the one he favored the most.

The Immortal of the South Pole looked deep in his eyes and said slowly, "Since you have cultivated the Way of Virtue, Bo Yikao can focus on the Way of Filial Piety. His filial piety can move heaven and earth and become a role model for the world. However, I will arrange for his tragic death to solidify the justice of heaven and earth for Xiqi. You must accept this!"

After hearing this, Ji Chang was reluctant at first, but since Emperor Ziwei could ascend to heaven in one step, Ji Chang agreed!

"Thank you, Master. Ji Chang understands!"

"As for your other son, Jifa, whom you dislike, teach him to cultivate the ways of benevolence and righteousness. In this way, the three of us, father and son, each upholding our own path and supporting each other, will Xiqi flourish."

After hearing this, Ji Chang's mind suddenly became clear. He quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Thank you for your teachings, Master. Ji Chang understands. I will follow your instructions and live up to your expectations."

During the discussion, the future of Xiqi for the next few decades was basically determined.

The Immortal of the South Pole was completely dismissive of Chaoge's series of actions.

It is obvious that the saint has already determined all the steps, and the Immortal of the South Pole only needs to carry them out.

As for Yin Ziyu's arrangement, the Immortal of the South Pole did not notice it.

After all, Yin Ziyu has always been cautious. In addition, Yin Ziyu's sixtieth birthday has not yet been born, and all discussions are held in the ancestral temple. Naturally, there is no way to guess these things.

As for personnel transfers, he doesn't care at all about how Chaoge transfers them.

At this time, the top of Kunlun Mountain was covered with mist, the air was filled with immortal air, spiritual birds were flying, and auspicious beasts were appearing. It was truly the best place for immortals to practice cultivation in the ancient times.

Since the collapse of Mount Buzhou, Kunlun has in fact become the ancestral vein of the creation of heaven and earth, and the authentic luck of the earth gathers here, which is unparalleled.

Jiang Ziya had been here for some years and successfully became a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, thus embarking on the journey of seeking the truth.

Although Zi Ya was aspiring to become an immortal, his aptitude was mediocre and his path to cultivation was much more difficult than that of his fellow disciples.

Every day in the quiet cave, he practiced devoutly according to the methods taught by his master. However, his progress was slow, which often attracted the attention of his fellow disciples, who either looked at him with pity or with contempt.

Zi Ya was not discouraged by this. He always believed that diligence could make up for one's shortcomings, and he worked hard day and night without stopping.

During his spare time, Zi Ya gradually developed a strong interest in military books and strategies.

Whenever he had free time, he would immerse himself in classics, carefully studying various methods of deploying troops, marching and fighting, often neglecting food and sleep, and was so immersed in them.

Ancient military texts from the Celestial Court, as well as the Yellow Emperor's military manuals, seemed to Ziya to contain endless mysteries, prompting him to ponder them repeatedly, his comprehension deepening day by day. Yuanshi Tianzun knew his disciples' innate qualities and future destinies like the back of his hand.

Seeing that Ziya's cultivation was difficult but he was devoted to military science, one day he summoned Guangchengzi and calmly instructed him, "Guangchengzi, although Jiang Ziya's aptitude is not great, he has a special liking for military books and strategies, and he possesses considerable wisdom. You can give him a golden elixir to help him reach the realm of a celestial being. From now on, have him concentrate on studying military books and strategies; he will surely be of great use in the future."

Guangchengzi accepted the order and the elixir that could allow one to enter the celestial realm in one step was not important to the Chan Sect. However, he would not give Jiang Ziya the elixir that could allow him to reach a higher level.

Guangchengzi took out a spiritual golden elixir and personally went to Jiang Ziya, handing it to him. He said earnestly, "Junior brother, this is the golden elixir given by our master. Taking it will help you improve your cultivation. In the future, you should follow our master's instructions and devote yourself to studying military strategies."

Zi Ya was filled with gratitude. He took the golden elixir with trembling hands and prostrated himself on the ground to thank his master and senior brothers for their kindness.

After taking the golden elixir, he suddenly felt a tremendous force surging in his body, and the meridians in his body were instantly connected. His cultivation level soared and he entered the realm of celestial immortal in one fell swoop.

From then on, Ziya devoted himself to military books and strategies. In the quiet place of Kunlun Mountain, he studied hard day and night to hone his military talents. However, Jiang Ziya did not know why he wanted to study this.

Fortunately, Jiang Ziya was obedient and was allowed to study military books, so he studied with peace of mind.

As for Shen Gongbao, Yuanshi Tianzun had other arrangements.

Yuanshi Tianzun called Shen Gongbao to him, his expression calm but with a hidden meaning, and instructed him: "Shen Gongbao, you can travel around and make friends. There are also many virtuous and capable people in the Jiejiao sect. You should make friends with them and share your knowledge with them."

Shen Gongbao accepted the order. Although he did not understand the deep meaning of his master, he did not dare to disobey. So he bid farewell to his master and embarked on a journey of making friends everywhere. He often interacted with monks from the Jiejiao, discussing Taoism or exchanging ideas. Shen Gongbao relied on the title of a direct disciple of the Chenjiao to make friends from all over the world, which was quite in line with Shen Gongbao's character.

The hundred-day period is approaching in a flash, and Chaoge City is bustling with activity inside and outside.

Immortals from all over the ancient world rushed here, either riding on clouds or flying on swords. Now that the Shang Dynasty was more prosperous, coming here to seek an official position was also a good choice.

Yin Ziyu and Luo Shen stood side by side on a high place, overlooking the bustling scene below.

Yin Ziyu had a calm expression and sharp eyes, taking in everything in the scene.

The goddess of Luo River has a graceful figure, her clothes fluttering in the wind, and her beautiful eyes are full of spirit.

Among these numerous immortals, there are many monks from the Jiejiao sect.

After all, it has been a tradition for Jiejiao to serve as officials in the Shang Dynasty, which makes the changes in the Shang Dynasty completely different from those in the Xia Dynasty.

Nowadays, there are no ordinary people among the generals in Da Shang. Even if they are not monks of the three religions, the generals in various places are not simple.

In addition, there were many spectators from all directions, who came to watch the fun or to seek opportunities, and the large parade ground was packed with people.

At this time, a clear sound of birdsong was heard in the sky, and three blue phoenixes flapped their wings and came over, with three fairies sitting on them.

The fairy in white is wearing a plain white long dress, like a clear spring in the mountains, gentle and charming.

The sleeves fluttering in the wind add a touch of otherworldly temperament, making people forget the world.

"Little sister, the Conferred God Ceremony is about to begin. This is destiny. We only need to watch from here and then leave. We must not participate in it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
