Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan and the Six-Eared Macaque's eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent, and they shouted in unison, "We humbly obey the decree of the Heavenly God!"

Yuan Hong slammed his water-and-fire stick heavily on the ground with even greater excitement: "Hehe! Old Yuan has been itching to teach those bald monks and Taoist priests a lesson!"

After arranging the affairs, the two accepted their orders and left, and the entire law enforcement army of Penglai Immortal Island quickly began to operate.

Chen Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back on the edge of the cliff, gazing towards the direction of the Nine Provinces of the Human Realm.

The chessboard for the Great Tribulation of the Gods has been set up. The Chan Sect and the Western Sect want to use the human race as a stepping stone, but Chen Changsheng will never agree to it.

Just then, a soft footstep sound came from behind.

It was Yang Chan, of course.

Yang Chan's cultivation has now reached the Quasi-Saint level, which is naturally due to Chen Changsheng's support, as he had to consume many treasures to achieve this.

Of course, the greatest benefit was the Chaos Seed in his body. He discovered that when he and Yang Chan stayed together at night, the power emitted by the seed could slowly help Yang Chan's own cultivation techniques to circulate.

"What are you thinking about, my husband?" Yang Chan asked.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering when we could have a child," Chen Changsheng joked.

"My husband is so annoying!"

Yang Chan blushed, then leaned on Chen Changsheng's shoulder. In truth, she also hoped to have a child with Chen Changsheng as soon as possible.

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

The majestic celestial palace was shrouded in layers of pure ethereal energy. The once enchanting temple was now filled with an oppressive and stifling atmosphere.

In the center of the main hall, the Primordial Celestial Venerable sat atop the Nine-Dragon Sandalwood Chariot.

His face was dignified and ancient, with auspicious clouds of heaven floating above him and golden light of immeasurable merit descending down, but in his deep eyes, there was an extremely gloomy rage.

Below, Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, Tai Yi Zhenren, and the other twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect knelt prostrate on the jade steps, not daring to utter a sound.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

The cold voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable resounded in the hall, making the eardrums of the Twelve Golden Immortals ache.

Guang Chengzi pressed his forehead against the cold white jade ground, his voice trembling as he said, "Master, please calm your anger! Chen Changsheng has now reached the half-step Hunyuan realm, and with the support of his Supreme Uncle-Master, Tongtian Uncle-Master, and Goddess Nuwa, and even the Dao Ancestor's decree was issued at the wedding... We disciples dare not act rashly!"

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, and the auspicious clouds of the heavens trembled violently.

"The Dao Ancestor's decree bestowing blessings is a reward from Heaven for the grand scheme of things, not a protective charm for Chen Changsheng alone!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's tone was chilling, each word like a knife: "The Investiture of the Gods is a predetermined fate of Heaven. The Intercepting Sect is destined to be on the list. You are all burdened with a calamity of slaughter. If you cannot take advantage of the rise of Xiqi to complete your calamity, in the end, it will be the twelve of you who will be on the Investiture of the Gods list!"

Guang Chengzi and the others trembled with fear upon hearing this.

Once listed on the Investiture of the Gods, one's soul is controlled by the God-Slaying Whip and the Investiture of the Gods. Not only is one's path to enlightenment severed, but one must also obey the commands of the attendant Haotian. For a proud and arrogant Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, this is more painful than being killed.

Master Taiyi forced himself to raise his head, cupped his hands, and asked, "May I ask, Master, not only has the Emperor of the Great Shang not committed any immoral acts, but he has also forged the Great Shang into an impenetrable force. Moreover, Chen Changsheng is the Grand Preceptor of the Great Shang. How should we break this deadlock?"

Yuanshi Tianzun narrowed his eyes, a hint of calculation flashing in them.

"Although the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty are prosperous, the general trend of human nature is that after a long period of division, there will be unity, and after a long period of unity, there will be division."

"I have ordered Jiang Shang to take the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip down the mountain to Xiqi to assist Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo."

"Xiqi possesses the qualities of a sage ruler, and the phoenix's cry on Qishan Mountain is the will of Heaven. Even if Chen Changsheng possesses extraordinary abilities, he cannot defy Heaven!"

The moment the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning finished speaking, a faint golden light suddenly appeared in the void outside the Jade Void Palace.

Two figures dressed in earth-yellow monk robes appeared from the void.

They are the two Western Saints, Zhunti Daoist and Jieyin Daoist!

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, how have you been?" Daoist Zhunti entered, holding the Seven Treasures Tree and with a sorrowful expression.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable raised an eyebrow, waved his hand to dismiss the Twelve Golden Immortals, and spoke calmly: "What brings you two fellow Daoists from the West, who are not cultivating in seclusion on Mount Sumeru, to my Jade Void Palace today?"

The Guide sighed and clasped his hands together, saying, "Amitabha. Why ask a question you already know the answer to, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi?"

"Chen Changsheng is showing off his power on Penglai Immortal Island, and the arrogance of the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect is overwhelming. If we allow the Great Shang and the Jie Sect to be connected by fate, this Investiture of the Gods calamity will probably become a catastrophe for our two sects."

Zhunti Daoist stepped forward hastily, his eyes gleaming with urgency: "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi! You and I both witnessed the wedding day. Behind Chen Changsheng were not only Tongtian and Taishang, but also Pingxin of the Underworld and the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race!"

"If this child is not eliminated, the Jie Sect will not fall, and our Chan Sect and the Western Sect will have no place to stand in the Three Realms!"

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Zhunti Daoist and asked calmly, "Then, in your opinion, Fellow Daoist Zhunti, how should we respond?"

Zhunti Daoist sneered, and the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand emitted a five-colored ray of light.

"Chen Changsheng's greatest reliance is the humanistic fortune of the Shang Dynasty and the Zhuxian Sword Formation of the Jie Sect."

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation cannot be broken without the Four Sages. If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to join forces with my Western Sect, and with the addition of Fellow Daoist Taishang, the Four Sages will emerge together. What is there to worry about in defeating the Jie Sect?"

"As for the Shang Dynasty..." Daoist Zhunti lowered his voice, a sinister glint in his eyes: "Humans value fortune and karma above all else. Our Western Sect can secretly send bodhisattvas and guardian deities to reside in Xiqi, using the waters of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to cleanse the people of Xiqi and help Ji Chang solidify his status as the Human Emperor!"

"As long as Xiqi raises an army, the human destiny will inevitably split. At that time, the Great Shang's national fortune will decline, and the backlash from Chen Changsheng's destiny will cause his Primordial Dao Fruit to collapse on its own!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes flashed with approval.

Although the Western religion is impoverished, the two old men's schemes are indeed ruthless.

It is indeed difficult for the Chan Sect alone to suppress the Jie Sect and Chen Changsheng, who are currently at the height of their power. However, if the two saints of the Western Sect are brought in, the situation will be completely reversed!

"good!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "Since you two fellow Daoists are so sincere, I will grant your request."

"Guang Chengzi!"

"Disciple is here!" Guang Chengzi hurriedly stepped forward.

"By the decree of this Jade Purity Sect, all third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect are ordered to leave the mountain and proceed to Xiqi to await Jiang Shang's command!"

"Furthermore, order the Antarctic Immortal and the Burning Lamp Immortal to set up a large array around the Fire Cloud Cave to completely sever its connection with the human realm, preventing the Three Sovereigns of the human world from interfering in the conflicts of the human realm!"

"Disciple obeys!" Guang Chengzi was overjoyed and quickly withdrew after receiving the decree.

The Taoist Zhunti and the Taoist Jieyin exchanged a smile, and the gloom in their hearts vanished.

In their view, with the two great sage sects joining forces and the Heavenly Dao favoring Xiqi, no matter how strong Chen Changsheng was, he could never turn the tide!
