Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 121 The Qingping Sword Slays the Disciple of the Jie Sect; Heaven's Mandate Lies with Zhou, Not Shang; Three Dynasties' Veteran's Everlasting Foundation

"Could it be that destiny is on Zhou's side... hiss..."

"This is the palace of the Shang king; be careful what you say!"

"This place is a place of trade, and it possesses the power of a sacred artifact, but which sacred artifact of our human race is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

After recognizing the aura emanating from Xiqi, countless people were filled with shock and exclaimed in horror.

"Insolence!" Shang Wu shouted angrily when he saw the change in Hongming's sword and then looked at Xiqi.

Instantly, the aura of a high-level Great Luo cultivator erupted without any concealment throughout Chaoge and even the entire Nine Provinces of the Human Race.

Emperor Yi gazed intently at the land of Xiqi, where the human race's fortune emerged and the Shang dynasty's destiny manifested. A majestic black bird let out a sound that pierced the heavens.

With the blessing of the human race and the fortune of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Yi, with just a cold snort, severely injured Ji Chang, who was at the mid-stage of Martial Origin.

Ji Chang showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, he forced down the blood he had just swallowed and knelt respectfully on the ground. "Your Majesty, I am guilty. The sacred artifact of humanity has appeared throughout the nine provinces. I was so overwhelmed by its divine power that I forgot to report it to Your Majesty. I deserve to die a thousand deaths..."

Emperor Yi, condensing the imperial illusory image of the Great Shang Dynasty's destiny, gazed deeply at Ji Chang and then said, "The Sacred Artifact of Humanity is a precious treasure of the human race. Since it has been left in the Nine Provinces, it naturally has the intention of the Holy Emperor. You, as the Marquis of the West, have actually allowed the land of Xiqi to unleash the Sacred Power of Humanity. Could it be that you intend to harm my people?"

"Your subject is guilty." Ji Chang knelt on the ground with utmost respect to plead guilty.

"If anything goes wrong and harms my people, then you shall go to Chaoge to plead guilty. Nine days later, I will pay homage to the Emperor's teacher at Longshan. At that time, I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation." Emperor Yi looked at Marquis Xibo Ji Chang in a calm tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will obey your command and will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

After Ji Chang finished speaking, the figure of Emperor Yi, who was embodied by the national fortune of the Shang Dynasty, also disappeared into the land of Xiqi.

The communication between the two was completely devoid of tension. Di Yi didn't even mention the Xuanyuan Sword or whether Xiqi was planning a rebellion, because they both knew the truth...

Although Emperor Yi was not as old as Ji Chang, he had assisted his father in governing the country. The land of Xiqi had always been a place of concern for the rulers of the Shang Dynasty.

Moreover, Ji Chang was the greatest of all the Marquises of Xibo in history. Whether it was his spirit, methods, or martial arts talent, he was the best in Xiqi in 90,000 years. He was valued by the ancient sages of the human race for his knowledge of the Later Heaven Bagua.

Secretly, disciples of the Chan Sect were also helping Zhou, hoping to overthrow the Shang Dynasty and become the supreme ruler of the human race.

Before his father abdicated, he repeatedly instructed him to go to the land of Xiqi, and told him that if Xiqi did not comply, he should seek out the sage of the Jie Sect to enter the Nine Provinces...

After Emperor Yi withdrew his thoughts, he activated his Human Emperor status, as if the will of humanity had been bestowed upon him. His figure stood above the Nine Provinces, looking at the Hongming Blade and Xuanyuan Sword that were bursting with powerful aura. The Human Emperor spoke the law of heaven, and the great trend of humanity was like the eternal tide.

"I am the Emperor, and now the land of the Nine Provinces is free from external threats and turmoil, with all directions submitting to me. You should be at peace!"

With the blessing of the Human Emperor's position, he was as if he were Emperor Yi himself, and the fortune he possessed for humanity reached its peak. Even quasi-saints could not harm him in the slightest...

As soon as Emperor Yi finished speaking, the Xuanyuan Sword and the Hongming Blade, sensing the Emperor's intent, temporarily withdrew their auras.

But the emotions contained within these two sacred artifacts of humanity seemed to be that neither would yield to the other, as if they had agreed to a great battle to come...

Finally, the Xuanyuan Sword returned to Fengpo in Xiqi, and the Hongming Blade entered the depths of the Shang Dynasty royal family.

In the Nine Provinces, the Human Emperor is Heaven, the supreme ruler who governs Heaven and Earth. The two sacred artifacts of humanity that were automatically activated without anyone in charge naturally have to give him face under the Human Emperor's will.

On the other side, on Jin'ao Island.

After the words of the sage resounded throughout the primordial world, Su Shao Chen, dressed in a Xuanhe robe and holding the Qingping Sword, appeared above Jin'ao Island.

His voice was no longer as casual as usual; instead, it resounded among the disciples of the Jie Sect with an indifferent, ruthless, and murderous tone.

"All disciples of our Jie Sect who bear karmic burdens will be punished to eliminate them. All those who commit evil deeds and violence will repay their karmic debts. For thousands of years, the Jie Sect has been cultivating primordial merit and seizing the secrets of all things!"

"Where is Luo Xuan?!"

Upon hearing Su Shao Chen's order, Luo Xuan stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Luo Xuan is here. What are your orders, Sect Leader?"

"You are the righteous god of the Southern Three Qi Fire Virtue Star Lord, in charge of the primordial fire. This time you should enter the Great Shang Dynasty to spread the teachings of humanity through the work of the hearth fire and perform your meritorious deeds," Su Shao Chen said to Luo Xuan directly.

Upon hearing Su Shao Chen's words, Luo Xuan seemed to gain some insight, and his original peak Taiyi Golden Immortal realm was now in a mysterious state.

Su Shao Chen's words seemed to resonate with the heavens and earth, allowing him to grasp a sliver of opportunity for the Great Luo realm. Luo Xuan could sense it even in the depths of his being; if he were to transmit the Dao of the Hearth Fire in the Primordial World, the future of the Great Luo realm would undoubtedly be within reach…

"Yes, Luo Xuan will obey the sect leader's orders!" Luo Xuan suppressed his excitement and bowed to Su Shao Chen as a disciple.

"The Vice Master is my good fortune, Luo Xuan. Years ago, I followed the Vice Master into the Heavenly Court and received this opportunity. Now, I aspire to reach the Great Luo Path. In the future, I will diligently heed the Vice Master's words..." A voice echoed in Luo Xuan's mind, constantly reminding him...

Seeing Luo Xuan's state, the group of Quasi-Saints naturally knew that Luo Xuan had comprehended his own Great Luo Dao and would continue to comprehend this opportunity, and would surely become a Great Luo in the future!

Lu Yue, Yu Yixian, and the others were all Taiyi Golden Immortals. Seeing that Brother Luo Xuan had already grasped the Great Luo opportunity and that the Great Luo realm was within reach, it would be a lie to say they weren't envious...

"Where is Lü Yue!" Su Shao Chen's voice rang out again on Jin'ao Island, causing Lü Yue to tremble upon hearing it. He then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Reporting to the Master, Lü Yue is here!"

Looking at Lü Yue, who was dressed in a bright red robe, with a face as blue as indigo and hair as black as cinnabar, Su Shao Chen couldn't help but ponder. Lü Yue was also at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, but Su Shao Chen really had no idea about Lü Yue's Great Luo Cultivation opportunity at the moment.

Lu Yue cultivated the Way of Plague, possessing three heads and six arms. He also cultivated unique supernatural and secret techniques for making talismans, refining weapons, and crafting poisons and medicines. Once unleashed, these techniques could cause widespread and fatal attacks, making him one of the top disciples of the Jie Sect in terms of group damage capabilities.

With this in mind, Su Shao Chen said in a deep voice, "Now that you are a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal, you should lead your disciples to monitor the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect. If any of them commit such acts, kill them."

Lu Yue respectfully accepted the order from the vice leader. At the same time, the vice leader secretly transmitted a message to Lu Yue, who was overjoyed to hear it.

After giving these two instructions, Su Shao Chen went to see his senior uncle Jin Ling. Although he held power over the entire Jie Sect, he had always acted domineeringly and was destined not to go far.

Jinling, a Quasi-Saint, is second only to Duobao in the Jie Sect. Given Su Shao Chen's current level and seniority, even with the Qingping Sword in hand, he would still need to invite such a being.

If she were to assume the identity of Doumu Yuanjun in Heaven, then her Senior Uncle Jinling would be her superior.

When he broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal a thousand years ago, he heard that his senior uncle Jinling had taken in two disciples thousands of years ago, one named Wen Zhong and the other named Yu Yuan, the One Qi Immortal.

He came here for Wen Zhong, who would later become the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty, the teacher of Emperor Xin, and a veteran of three dynasties. Wen Zhong played an important role in the Shang-Zhou War and was known for his upright and righteous conduct, which Su Shao Chen greatly admired.

Wen Zhong has been studying on Jin'ao Island for a thousand years, and it is time for him to enter the human realm. If he can emerge unscathed when the Investiture of the Gods ends, he can be enshrined as a god in his physical body and achieve eternal immortality.
