This completely stunned the cultivators in the human realm.
"What's wrong with the Jie Sect? Why have they gone to the Heavenly Court?!"
"This is terrible. There will be no more carefree days from now on!"
The Heavenly Court has countless Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Realm experts, which are like natural disasters to cultivators in the mortal realm, forcing them to be extremely cautious.
……
Elucidating the teachings.
Guang Chengzi and Randeng played chess.
"The Vice Master's arrival today isn't just to challenge me to a game of chess, is it?" Guang Chengzi asked.
Ran Deng laughed and said, "...Having spent several years in seclusion, I am unaware of the changes in the mortal world. I have heard that the entire Jie Sect has gone to the Heavenly Court. I wonder what they are plotting?"
Guang Chengzi chuckled: "Why does the Vice Leader pretend to be ignorant when he knows the truth? This plan is indeed ingenious, but now that it has been executed, do I need to explain the reasons behind it?"
As a great cultivator who attained enlightenment in ancient times, Guang Chengzi was not only incredibly powerful, but also quite skilled in strategy.
The method of indirectly probing with a lamp was child's play to him.
We're both ancient foxes, why are you trying to play these ghost stories with me?
Of course, Ran Deng knew he couldn't fool Guang Chengzi, but he didn't want to be too direct or appear too eager.
Upon hearing this, he asked, "Then Brother Guangchengzi, aren't you worried? Although we don't like the positions of gods in the Heavenly Court, it's much easier for the Jie Sect to act now that they have control over the Three Realms. If we don't restrain them, they might even start interfering with our Chan Sect in the future."
Guang Chengzi remained unmoved: "The affairs of the Chan Sect are for the Master and Vice Master to worry about. I will just obey orders."
(of Zhao)
The lamp burner remained silent.
These people who follow the Chan sect are too difficult to deal with.
No matter who you approach, they'll just push the matter to Yuanshi Tianzun, remaining completely unmoved; they're all the type who won't act until they see a tangible benefit.
"So, Brother Guangcheng doesn't want to survive this tribulation of immortals?" Randeng raised an eyebrow. "The remaining cultivators in the mortal realm are probably not enough to help you through this tribulation. Why don't we take advantage of the Jie Sect's unstable situation and catch them off guard?"
The calamity of the gods was one of the causes of the Investiture of the Gods war.
The Investiture of the Gods was caused not only by the Heavenly Court's lack of manpower, but also by the fact that the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect had cultivated for many years without achieving enlightenment and needed to overcome the tribulations of the gods before they could continue their cultivation.
Ultimately, the Chan Sect conspired with other sects to bring their own calamity upon all cultivators, which led to the Investiture of the Gods calamity that nearly destroyed the world.

The ability to transfer one's own calamity away is undoubtedly a scheme by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
It can be said that although Yuanshi Tianzun followed the will of Heaven and acted in accordance with Heaven's will, he treated his disciples quite well and cared for them greatly.
Of course, this could also be an attempt to compensate the disciple.
In ancient times, there were continuous wars. Guang Chengzi and others were ordered by Yuanshi Tianzun to descend the mountain and assist the Yellow Emperor in sweeping across the world.
This time, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were ordered to descend the mountain. Although they gained a lot and also made contributions to humanity, they were not without their own merits.
However, this journey also brought with it endless karma, leading to a personal calamity and preventing any progress in cultivation.
This is also the fundamental reason why, despite Yuanshi carefully selecting his disciples, they were utterly defeated by the disciples of the Jie Sect.
There's no other reason than that they had to act in accordance with the will of Heaven, and the disciples of the Chan Sect had already been tricked once before.
Humans are the protagonists of heaven and earth.
Such a powerful fortune, with so many causes and effects, is something even a sage would not dare to easily confront.
In the Investiture of the Gods, Nuwa herself did not personally interfere in the operation of human dynasties, but Guang Chengzi and others did participate in them, which shows how much backlash they suffered.
Now that a calamity is about to occur, the Primordial Celestial Venerable naturally does not want his disciples to die in the calamity and be reincarnated. Therefore, he can only try to find a way to transfer the calamity to the people of the world.
What's even better is that Hongjun also highly approves of this plan.
Weakening the Jie Sect was part of Hongjun's plan.
Thus, the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods began to brew.
However, things took a turn for the worse halfway through.
Most of the disciples of the Jie Sect actually went to the Heavenly Court, which directly caused the Investiture of the Gods to stall.
Randeng was not concerned about the divine calamity that befell the disciples of the Chan Sect.
However, according to his calculations, he needed to rely on this tribulation to achieve enlightenment.
If none of you fight, how can I attain enlightenment?
As a cultivator who existed since ancient times, Randeng naturally valued attaining enlightenment above all else.
After being reminded by a fellow Daoist, he rushed over to persuade the members of the Chan Sect.
“The Divine Calamity…” Guang Chengzi gripped the chess piece in his hand, unable to place it for a long time. “The Vice Master has raised a point. However, given the current situation, we dare not act rashly.”
Ran Deng shook his head: "No, there are many experts from the Jie Sect in the Heavenly Court, so it's not a good place for us. But there are very few Jie Sect members on Jin'ao Island."
Guang Chengzi's gaze sharpened: "That's my master's place of cultivation. Fellow Daoist Randeng, do you want to die?"
Ran Deng shook his head: "No, we're just going there to spar and provoke their anger. We won't do anything else. I don't think the sect leader would target us."
"Discussion?"
Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi easily understood Ran Deng's thoughts.
It was nothing more than provoking the disciples of the Jie Sect to anger them, so that those who were in seclusion would come out of the mountains and participate in the Investiture of the Gods.
In this way, the matter has come full circle.
"But, can it really work?" Guang Chengzi frowned.
He always felt that things weren't so simple.
Since the Jie Sect had already made plans with the Heavenly Court, how could Jin'ao Island not be prepared?
Randeng laughed and said, "Brother Guangchengzi, what is without risk? Do you really want to undergo the tribulation of immortals yourself?"
The Calamity of the Gods is the most terrifying tribulation in this world.
In ancient times, there were countless people with great supernatural powers, but countless others perished.
Most of those who became legends have perished.
Some were his contemporaries, and some were even older than him.
Those people possessed cultivation levels ranging from Great Luo Immortal to Golden Immortal, and even Quasi-Saint.
Some are so powerful that even a saint would have to give them some respect.
However, they perished.
Recalling the people he knew who had died in the massacre, Guang Chengzi broke out in a cold sweat.
He is entangled in karma, and has been tainted by the karma of the human race. He has no confidence whatsoever that he can survive the tribulation of the gods.
"In that case, I will accompany the Vice Master on this trip."
Randeng laughed loudly: "Good, that's great. Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment while I go and invite the other fellow Daoists from the Chan Sect to lend their assistance."
Guang Chengzi laughed and said, "Let's go together."
(bgab) Half a day later.
The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect left the mountain together and headed straight for Jin'ao Island with the leader of the Burning Lamp Sect.
Everyone there was a person with great supernatural powers.
After flying on the clouds for a short while, the auspiciously shrouded Golden Turtle Island appeared before them.
On that island, many ascetics sat cross-legged, contemplating the mysteries of the Tao.
"Fellow Daoists, disciples of the Chan Sect have come to pay their respects!"
Guang Chengzi's voice was calm, yet it resonated throughout the entire Jin'ao Island, though he deliberately avoided Biyou Palace.
After all, if the Tongtian Sect Leader were alerted, things would become much more complicated.
Of course, this method is of no use to saints.
In fact, the moment Randeng and his companions had this thought, Tongtian Jiaozhu sensed it.
"Go ahead and make a scene." Tongtian glanced at the group from the Chan Sect, his expression indifferent. "My Golden Turtle Island still has two Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals, enough to give you a hard time."
The thought crossed his mind, and he closed his eyes again.
"The Chan Sect is indeed persistent." Yunxiao sighed softly, looking at the group of Chan Sect members. "Brother, let me make a move this time!"
Zhao Gongming nodded: "Remember not to reveal too much of our strength. We should hide our current strength as much as possible."
Yunxiao laughed and said, "Don't worry, with our level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, even if we only limit our strength to the perfection of Quasi-Saint, it will be enough to sweep the entire field."
Zhao Gongming laughed and said, "That's true, I was overthinking it."
"What wind blew by today that brought all the senior brothers of the Chan Sect to Jin'ao Island?" A man with a long beard, a dark face, dressed in black robes and a silk sash around his waist, stood up and spoke in a subtle tone.
